Subject: [PATCH v2 0/6] Rework REFCOUNT_FULL using atomic_fetch_* operations
Date:   Tue, 27 Aug 2019 17:31:58 +0100

Hi all,

This is version two of the patches I previously posted here:

  https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190802101000.12958-1-will@kernel.org

Changes since v1 include:

  * Avoid duplicate WARNs when incrementing from zero
  * Some crude lktdm perf results to motivate the change:

    # perf stat -r 3 -B -- echo {ATOMIC,REFCOUNT}_TIMING >/sys/kernel/debug/provoke-crash/DIRECT

    # arm64
    ATOMIC_TIMING:					46.50451 +- 0.00134 seconds time elapsed  ( +-  0.00% )
    REFCOUNT_TIMING (REFCOUNT_FULL, mainline):		77.57522 +- 0.00982 seconds time elapsed  ( +-  0.01% )
    REFCOUNT_TIMING (REFCOUNT_FULL, this series):	48.7181 +- 0.0256 seconds time elapsed  ( +-  0.05% )

    # x86
    ATOMIC_TIMING:					31.6225 +- 0.0776 seconds time elapsed  ( +-  0.25% )
    REFCOUNT_TIMING (!REFCOUNT_FULL, mainline/x86 asm): 31.6689 +- 0.0901 seconds time elapsed  ( +-  0.28% )
    REFCOUNT_TIMING (REFCOUNT_FULL, mainline):		53.203 +- 0.138 seconds time elapsed  ( +-  0.26% )
    REFCOUNT_TIMING (REFCOUNT_FULL, this series):	31.7408 +- 0.0486 seconds time elapsed  ( +-  0.15% )

Cheers,

Will
