Subject: [PATCH v4 03/17] wlcore: Align reg_ch_conf_pending and tmp_ch_bitmap to unsigned long for better performance
Date: Fri, 1 Mar 2019 18:44:57 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1551494711-213533-4-git-send-email-fenghua.yu@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1551494711-213533-1-git-send-email-fenghua.yu@intel.com>
A bit in reg_ch_conf_pending in wl271 and tmp_ch_bitmap is set atomically
by set_bit(). set_bit() sets the bit in a single unsigned long location. If
the variables are not aligned to unsigned long, set_bit() accesses two
cache lines and thus causes slower performance. On x86, this scenario is
called split lock and can cause overall performance degradation due to
locked BTSL instruction in set_bit() locks bus.
To avoid performance degradation, the two variables are aligned to
unsigned long.
