Subject: lots of calls to __write/read_lock_failed
Date: Wed, 15 Jan 2003 20:18:13 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3E263285.2000204@us.ibm.com> (raw)

Running a webserver benchmark on 2.5.57, I saw some things in the 
profiles that I wasn't familliar with.  Here's readprofile | sort | tail:

    717 handle_IRQ_event                           7.7935
    732 do_gettimeofday                            5.4627
    755 __wake_up                                 10.7857
   1089 del_timer                                 11.8370
   1112 add_timer                                  7.8310
   1500 system_call                               34.0909
   1847 schedule                                   2.4759
   1873 kmap_atomic                               12.8288
267475 __write_lock_failed                     8358.5938
379837 __read_lock_failed                     18991.8500
1044613 poll_idle                             18010.5690
1704762 total                                    10.9631

I added a section at the ends of _raw_write_lock and _raw_read_lock 
that look like this:

{
         static int count = 0;
         if( ++count%50000 == 0 ) {
                 printk("%s:%s() %d\n", __stringify(KBUILD_BASENAME),
				__FUNCTION__, count );
                 dump_stack();
         }
}
