Change mutex contention behaviour such that it will sometimes busy wait on acquisition - moving its behaviour closer to that of spinlocks. This concept got ported to mainline from the -rt tree, where it was originally implemented for rtmutexes by Steven Rostedt, based on work by Gregory Haskins. Testing with Ingo's test-mutex application (http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/1/8/50) gave a 345% boost for VFS scalability on my testbox: # ./test-mutex-shm V 16 10 | grep "^avg ops" avg ops/sec: 296604 # ./test-mutex-shm V 16 10 | grep "^avg ops" avg ops/sec: 85870 The key criteria for the busy wait is that the lock owner has to be running on a (different) cpu. The idea is that as long as the owner is running, there is a fair chance it'll release the lock soon, and thus we'll be better off spinning instead of blocking/scheduling. Since regular mutexes (as opposed to rtmutexes) do not atomically track the owner, we add the owner in a non-atomic fashion and deal with the races in the slowpath. Furthermore, to ease the testing of the performance impact of this new code, there is means to disable this behaviour runtime (without having to reboot the system), when scheduler debugging is enabled (CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG=y), by issuing the following command: # echo NO_OWNER_SPIN > /debug/sched_features This command re-enables spinning again (this is also the default): # echo OWNER_SPIN > /debug/sched_features Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

* Simple, straightforward mutexes with strict semantics:
|
|
*
|
|
* - only one task can hold the mutex at a time
|
|
* - only the owner can unlock the mutex
|
|
* - multiple unlocks are not permitted
|
|
* - recursive locking is not permitted
|
|
* - a mutex object must be initialized via the API
|
|
* - a mutex object must not be initialized via memset or copying
|
|
* - task may not exit with mutex held
|
|
* - memory areas where held locks reside must not be freed
|
|
* - held mutexes must not be reinitialized
|
|
* - mutexes may not be used in hardware or software interrupt
|
|
* contexts such as tasklets and timers
|
|
*
|
|
* These semantics are fully enforced when DEBUG_MUTEXES is
|
|
* enabled. Furthermore, besides enforcing the above rules, the mutex
|
|
* debugging code also implements a number of additional features
|
|
* that make lock debugging easier and faster:
|
|
*
|
|
* - uses symbolic names of mutexes, whenever they are printed in debug output
|
|
* - point-of-acquire tracking, symbolic lookup of function names
|
|
* - list of all locks held in the system, printout of them
|
|
* - owner tracking
|
|
* - detects self-recursing locks and prints out all relevant info
|
|
* - detects multi-task circular deadlocks and prints out all affected
|
|
* locks and tasks (and only those tasks)
