      lockdep, mutex: provide mutex_lock_nest_lock · e4c70a66
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      In order to convert i_mmap_lock to a mutex we need a mutex equivalent to
      spin_lock_nest_lock(), thus provide the mutex_lock_nest_lock() annotation.
      
      As with spin_lock_nest_lock(), mutex_lock_nest_lock() allows annotation of
      the locking pattern where an outer lock serializes the acquisition order
      of nested locks.  That is, if every time you lock multiple locks A, say A1
      and A2 you first acquire N, the order of acquiring A1 and A2 is
      irrelevant.

      [S390] mutex: Introduce arch_mutex_cpu_relax() · 34b133f8
      Gerald Schaefer 提交于
      The spinning mutex implementation uses cpu_relax() in busy loops as a
      compiler barrier. Depending on the architecture, cpu_relax() may do more
      than needed in this specific mutex spin loops. On System z we also give
      up the time slice of the virtual cpu in cpu_relax(), which prevents
      effective spinning on the mutex.
      
      This patch replaces cpu_relax() in the spinning mutex code with
      arch_mutex_cpu_relax(), which can be defined by each architecture that
      selects HAVE_ARCH_MUTEX_CPU_RELAX. The default is still cpu_relax(), so
      this patch should not affect other architectures than System z for now.

      mutex: implement adaptive spinning · 0d66bf6d
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      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
