Subject: [PATCH v2 4/5] locking/lockdep: Make class->ops a percpu counter
Date: Tue,  2 Oct 2018 16:19:19 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1538511560-10090-5-git-send-email-longman@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1538511560-10090-1-git-send-email-longman@redhat.com>

A sizable portion of the CPU cycles spent on the __lock_acquire() is used
up by the atomic increment of class->ops stat counter. By taking it out
from the lock_class structure and changing it to a per-cpu per-lock-class
counter, we can reduce the amount of cacheline contention on the class
structure when multiple CPUs are trying to acquire locks of the same
class simultaneously.

To limit the increase in memory consumption because of the percpu nature
of that counter, it is now put back under the CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCKDEP
config option. So the memory consumption increase will only occur if
CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCKDEP is defined. The lock_class structure, however,
is reduced in size by 16 bytes on 64-bit archs after ops removal and
a minor restructuring of the fields.

This patch also fixes a bug in the increment code as the counter is of
the unsigned long type, but atomic_inc() was used to increment it.
