Subject: [PATCH V2 0/7] rcu: introduce percpu rcu_preempt_depth
Date: Sat, 2 Nov 2019 12:45:52 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191102124559.1135-1-laijs@linux.alibaba.com> (raw)
Rather than using the generic version of preempt_count, x86 uses
a special version of preempt_count implementation that take advantage
of x86 (single instruction to access/add/decl/flip-bits of percpu
counter). It makes the preempt_count operations really cheap.
For x86, rcu_preempt_depth can also take the same advantage by
using the same technique.
After the patchset:
- No function call when using rcu_read_[un]lock().
It is minor improvement, other arch can also achieve it via
moving ->rcu_read_lock_nesting and ->rcu_read_unlock_special
to thread_info, but inlined rcu_read_[un]lock() generates
more instructions and footprint in other arch generally.
- Only single instruction for rcu_read_lock().
- Only 2 instructions for the fast path of rcu_read_unlock().
Patch4 simplifies rcu_read_unlock() by avoid using negative
->rcu_read_lock_nesting, Patch7 introduces the percpu rcu_preempt_depth.
Other patches are for preparation.
changed from v1:
drop patch1/2 of the v1
drop merged patches
Using special.b.deferred_qs to avoid wakeup in v1 is changed to using
preempt_count. And special.b.deferred_qs is removed.
Lai Jiangshan (7):
rcu: use preempt_count to test whether scheduler locks is held
rcu: cleanup rcu_preempt_deferred_qs()
rcu: remove useless special.b.deferred_qs
rcu: don't use negative ->rcu_read_lock_nesting
rcu: wrap usages of rcu_read_lock_nesting
rcu: clear the special.b.need_qs in rcu_note_context_switch()
x86,rcu: use percpu rcu_preempt_depth
