Subject: [PATCH-tip 19/22] locking/rwsem: Enable readers spinning on writer
Date:   Thu,  7 Feb 2019 14:07:23 -0500
Message-Id: <1549566446-27967-20-git-send-email-longman@redhat.com>
In-Reply-To: <1549566446-27967-1-git-send-email-longman@redhat.com>
References: <1549566446-27967-1-git-send-email-longman@redhat.com>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

This patch enables readers to optimistically spin on a
rwsem when it is owned by a writer instead of going to sleep
directly.  The rwsem_can_spin_on_owner() function is extracted
out of rwsem_optimistic_spin() and is called directly by
__rwsem_down_read_failed_common() and __rwsem_down_write_failed_common().

This patch may actually reduce performance under certain circumstances
for reader-mostly workload as the readers may not be grouped together
in the wait queue anymore.  So we may have a number of small reader
groups among writers instead of a large reader group. However, this
change is needed for some of the subsequent patches.

With a locking microbenchmark running on 5.0 based kernel, the total
locking rates (in kops/s) of the benchmark on a 4-socket 56-core x86-64
system with equal numbers of readers and writers before and after the
patch were as follows:
