One global lock protecting hash-tables with 1024 buckets isn't efficient and it shows up in a massive systems with truck loads of RDS sockets serving multiple databases. The perf data clearly highlights the contention on the rw lock in these massive workloads. When the contention gets worse, the code gets into a state where it decides to back off on the lock. So while it has disabled interrupts, it sits and backs off on this lock get. This causes the system to become sluggish and eventually all sorts of bad things happen. The simple fix is to move the lock into the hash bucket and use per-bucket lock to improve the scalability.
