Subject: [PATCH net-next] net: use cmpxchg() in lock_sock_nested()
Date: Wed, 25 Feb 2026 03:32:16 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260225033216.601205-1-edumazet@google.com> (raw)
Add a fast path in lock_sock_nested(), to avoid acquiring
the socket spinlock only to set @owned to one:
spin_lock_bh(&sk->sk_lock.slock);
if (unlikely(sock_owned_by_user_nocheck(sk)))
__lock_sock(sk);
sk->sk_lock.owned = 1;
spin_unlock_bh(&sk->sk_lock.slock);
On x86_64 compiler generates something quite efficient:
ffffffff81e96100 <lock_sock_nested>:
ffffffff81e96100: f3 0f 1e fa endbr64
ffffffff81e96104: 0f 1f 44 00 00 nopl 0x0(%rax,%rax,1)
ffffffff81e96109: b9 01 00 00 00 mov $0x1,%ecx
ffffffff81e9610e: 31 c0 xor %eax,%eax
ffffffff81e96110: f0 48 0f b1 8f 48 01 lock cmpxchg %rcx,0x148(%rdi)
ffffffff81e96117: 00 00
ffffffff81e96119: 48 85 c0 test %rax,%rax
ffffffff81e9611c: 74 33 je ffffffff81e96151 <lock_sock_nested+0x51>
...// slow path
ffffffff81e96151: 2e e9 19 c4 33 00 cs jmp ffffffff821d2570 <__pi___x86_return_thunk>
