Subject: [PATCH RFC] rcu: Don't disable preemption for Tiny and Tree RCU readers
Date: Thu, 30 Jul 2015 21:37:25 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150731043725.GA27728@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
rcu: Don't disable preemption for Tiny and Tree RCU readers
Because preempt_disable() maps to barrier() for non-debug builds,
it forces the compiler to spill and reload registers. Because Tree
RCU and Tiny RCU now only appear in CONFIG_PREEMPT=n builds, these
barrier() instances generate needless extra code for each instance of
rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock(). This extra code slows down Tree
RCU and bloats Tiny RCU (though probably not significantly).
This commit therefore removes the preempt_disable() and preempt_enable()
from the non-preemptible implementations of __rcu_read_lock() and
__rcu_read_unlock(), respectively.
