Subject: [PATCH V3] asm-generic: ticket-lock: Optimize arch_spin_value_unlocked
Date: Fri,  8 Sep 2023 11:43:39 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230908154339.3250567-1-guoren@kernel.org> (raw)

From: Guo Ren <guoren@linux.alibaba.com>

The arch_spin_value_unlocked of ticket-lock would cause the compiler to
generate inefficient asm code in riscv architecture because of
unnecessary memory access to the contended value.

Before the patch:
------
void lockref_get(struct lockref *lockref)
{
  78:   fd010113                add     sp,sp,-48
  7c:   02813023                sd      s0,32(sp)
  80:   02113423                sd      ra,40(sp)
  84:   03010413                add     s0,sp,48

0000000000000088 <.LBB296>:
        CMPXCHG_LOOP(
  88:   00053783                ld      a5,0(a0)
------

After the patch:
------
void lockref_get(struct lockref *lockref)
{
        CMPXCHG_LOOP(
  78:   00053783                ld      a5,0(a0)
------

After the patch, the lockref_get could get in a fast path instead of the
function's prologue. This is because ticket lock complex logic would
limit compiler optimization for the spinlock fast path, and qspinlock
won't.

The caller of arch_spin_value_unlocked() could benefit from this
change. Currently, the only caller is lockref.
