Revision d8e2a4053574002135fbb032c2e74f1d1dbb2103 authored by Nicholas Piggin on 09 August 2017, 12:41:22 UTC, committed by Michael Ellerman on 09 August 2017, 13:45:28 UTC
- Hard-disable interrupts before taking the lock, which prevents soft-NMI re-entrancy and therefore can prevent deadlocks. - Use raw_ variants of local_irq_disable to avoid irq debugging. - When the lock is contended, spin at low SMT priority, using loads only, and with interrupts enabled (where possible). Some stalls have been noticed at high loads that go away with improved locking. There should not be so much locking contention in the first place (which is addressed in a subsequent patch), but locking should still be improved.
