Actually hitting that nesting level should be > exceedingly rare. Yes, I am working on a patch to support arbitrary levels of nesting. It is easy for PV qspinlock as lock stealing is supported. For native qspinlock, we cannot do lock stealing without incurring a certain amount of overhead in the regular slowpath code. It was up to 10% in my own testing. So I am exploring an alternative that can do the job without incurring any noticeable performance degradation in the slowpath. I ran into a race condition which I am still trying to find out where that comes from. Hopefully, I will have something to post next week. Cheers, Longman
