From d99317f214ca3d381f7b17a75c41263885664e06 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Namhyung Kim Date: Fri, 20 Oct 2023 13:47:39 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] perf lock contention: Clear lock addr after use It checks the current lock to calculated the delta of contention time. The address is saved in the tstamp map which is allocated at begining of contention and released at end of contention. But it's possible for bpf_map_delete_elem() to fail. In that case, the element in the tstamp map kept for the current lock and it makes the next contention for the same lock tracked incorrectly. Specificially the next contention begin will see the existing element for the task and it'd just return. Then the next contention end will see the element and calculate the time using the timestamp for the previous begin. This can result in a large value for two small contentions happened from time to time. Let's clear the lock address so that it can be updated next time even if the bpf_map_delete_elem() failed.
