Subject: Re: [PATCH v4 12/16] locking/rwsem: Enable time-based spinning on reader-owned rwsem
Date: Thu, 18 Apr 2019 15:06:11 +0200 [thread overview]

So I really dislike time based spinning, and we've always rejected it
before.

Urgh, why do you _have_ to write unreadable code :-(
static inline u64 rwsem_rspin_threshold(struct rw_semaphore *sem)
{
long count = atomic_long_read(&sem->count);
u64 delta = 25 * NSEC_PER_USEC;
if (count & RWSEM_FLAG_WAITERS) {
int readers = count >> RWSEM_READER_SHIFT;
if (readers > 30)
readers = 30;
delta = (20 + readers) * NSEC_PER_USEC / 2;
}
return sched_clock() + delta;
}
I don't get it though; the number of current read-owners is independent
of WAITERS, while the hold time does correspond to it.
So why do we have that WAITERS check in there?

This relies on rwsem_spin_on_owner() not actually spinning for
read-owned.

This seems fragile, why not to the rspin_threshold thing _once_ at the
start of this function?
This way it can be reset.

Why is calling sched_clock() lots a problem?
