Subject: [PATCH 4.9 28/61] locking/qspinlock/x86: Increase _Q_PENDING_LOOPS upper bound
Date: Thu, 20 Dec 2018 10:18:28 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181220085844.858853635@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20181220085843.743900603@linuxfoundation.org>

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

commit b247be3fe89b6aba928bf80f4453d1c4ba8d2063 upstream.

On x86, atomic_cond_read_relaxed will busy-wait with a cpu_relax() loop,
so it is desirable to increase the number of times we spin on the qspinlock
lockword when it is found to be transitioning from pending to locked.

According to Waiman Long:

 | Ideally, the spinning times should be at least a few times the typical
 | cacheline load time from memory which I think can be down to 100ns or
 | so for each cacheline load with the newest systems or up to several
 | hundreds ns for older systems.

which in his benchmarking corresponded to 512 iterations.
