This blames on the lock holder preemption issue. Kernel has an interface bool vcpu_is_preempted(int cpu) to see if a vCPU is currently running or not. So break the spin loops on true condition. test-case: perf record -a perf bench sched messaging -g 400 -p && perf report before patch: 20.68% sched-messaging [kernel.vmlinux] [k] mutex_spin_on_owner 8.45% sched-messaging [kernel.vmlinux] [k] mutex_unlock 4.12% sched-messaging [kernel.vmlinux] [k] system_call 3.01% sched-messaging [kernel.vmlinux] [k] system_call_common 2.83% sched-messaging [kernel.vmlinux] [k] copypage_power7 2.64% sched-messaging [kernel.vmlinux] [k] rwsem_spin_on_owner 2.00% sched-messaging [kernel.vmlinux] [k] osq_lock after patch: 9.99% sched-messaging [kernel.vmlinux] [k] mutex_unlock 5.28% sched-messaging [unknown] [H] 0xc0000000000768e0 4.27% sched-messaging [kernel.vmlinux] [k] __copy_tofrom_user_power7 3.77% sched-messaging [kernel.vmlinux] [k] copypage_power7 3.24% sched-messaging [kernel.vmlinux] [k] _raw_write_lock_irq 3.02% sched-messaging [kernel.vmlinux] [k] system_call 2.69% sched-messaging [kernel.vmlinux] [k] wait_consider_task Signed-off-by: Pan Xinhui --- kernel/locking/mutex.c | 15 +++++++++++++-- kernel/locking/rwsem-xadd.c | 16 +++++++++++++--- 2 files changed, 26 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/kernel/locking/mutex.c b/kernel/locking/mutex.c index 79d2d76..4f00b0c 100644 --- a/kernel/locking/mutex.c +++ b/kernel/locking/mutex.c @@ -236,7 +236,13 @@ bool mutex_spin_on_owner(struct mutex *lock, struct task_struct *owner) */ barrier(); - if (!owner->on_cpu || need_resched()) { + /* + * Use vcpu_is_preempted to detech lock holder preemption issue + * and break. vcpu_is_preempted is a macro defined by false if + * arch does not support vcpu preempted check, + */ + if (!owner->on_cpu || need_resched() || + vcpu_is_preempted(task_cpu(owner))) { ret = false; break; } @@ -261,8 +267,13 @@ static inline int mutex_can_spin_on_owner(struct mutex *lock) rcu_read_lock(); owner = READ_ONCE(lock->owner); + + /* + * As lock holder preemption issue, we both skip spinning if task is not + * on cpu or its cpu is preempted + */ if (owner) - retval = owner->on_cpu; + retval = owner->on_cpu && !vcpu_is_preempted(task_cpu(owner)); rcu_read_unlock(); /* * if lock->owner is not set, the mutex owner may have just acquired diff --git a/kernel/locking/rwsem-xadd.c b/kernel/locking/rwsem-xadd.c index 09e30c6..99eb8fd 100644 --- a/kernel/locking/rwsem-xadd.c +++ b/kernel/locking/rwsem-xadd.c @@ -319,7 +319,11 @@ static inline bool rwsem_can_spin_on_owner(struct rw_semaphore *sem) goto done; } - ret = owner->on_cpu; + /* + * As lock holder preemption issue, we both skip spinning if task is not + * on cpu or its cpu is preempted + */ + ret = owner->on_cpu && !vcpu_is_preempted(task_cpu(owner)); done: rcu_read_unlock(); return ret; @@ -340,8 +344,14 @@ bool rwsem_spin_on_owner(struct rw_semaphore *sem, struct task_struct *owner) */ barrier(); - /* abort spinning when need_resched or owner is not running */ - if (!owner->on_cpu || need_resched()) { + /* + * abort spinning when need_resched or owner is not running or + * owner's cpu is preempted. vcpu_is_preempted is a macro + * defined by false if arch does not support vcpu preempted + * check + */ + if (!owner->on_cpu || need_resched() || + vcpu_is_preempted(task_cpu(owner))) { rcu_read_unlock(); return false; } -- 2.4.11
