To be consistent with the queued spinlocks which use CONFIG_QUEUED_SPINLOCKS config parameter, the one for the queued rwlocks is now renamed to CONFIG_QUEUED_RWLOCKS. Signed-off-by:

Valentin Rothberg reported that we use CONFIG_QUEUED_SPINLOCKS in arch/x86/kernel/paravirt_patch_32.c, while the symbol is called CONFIG_QUEUED_SPINLOCK. (Note the extra 'S') But the typo was natural: the proper English term for such a generic object would be 'queued spinlocks' - so rename this and related symbols accordingly to the plural form.

This patch introduces a new generic queued spinlock implementation that can serve as an alternative to the default ticket spinlock. Compared with the ticket spinlock, this queued spinlock should be almost as fair as the ticket spinlock. It has about the same speed in single-thread and it can be much faster in high contention situations especially when the spinlock is embedded within the data structure to be protected. Only in light to moderate contention where the average queue depth is around 1-3 will this queued spinlock be potentially a bit slower due to the higher slowpath overhead. This queued spinlock is especially suit to NUMA machines with a large number of cores as the chance of spinlock contention is much higher in those machines. The cost of contention is also higher because of slower inter-node memory traffic. Due to the fact that spinlocks are acquired with preemption disabled, the process will not be migrated to another CPU while it is trying to get a spinlock. Ignoring interrupt handling, a CPU can only be contending in one spinlock at any one time. Counting soft IRQ, hard IRQ and NMI, a CPU can only have a maximum of 4 concurrent lock waiting activities. By allocating a set of per-cpu queue nodes and used them to form a waiting queue, we can encode the queue node address into a much smaller 24-bit size (including CPU number and queue node index) leaving one byte for the lock. Please note that the queue node is only needed when waiting for the lock. Once the lock is acquired, the queue node can be released to be used later. Signed-off-by:

We have two flavors of the MCS spinlock: standard and cancelable (OSQ). While each one is independent of the other, we currently mix and match them. This patch: - Moves the OSQ code out of mcs_spinlock.h (which only deals with the traditional version) into include/linux/osq_lock.h. No unnecessary code is added to the more global header file, anything locks that make use of OSQ must include it anyway. - Renames mcs_spinlock.c to osq_lock.c. This file only contains osq code. - Introduces a CONFIG_LOCK_SPIN_ON_OWNER in order to only build osq_lock if there is support for it. Signed-off-by:Davidlohr Bueso <dbueso@suse.de> Signed-off-by:

The optimistic spin code assumes regular stores and cmpxchg() play nice; this is found to not be true for at least: parisc, sparc32, tile32, metag-lock1, arc-!llsc and hexagon. There is further wreckage, but this in particular seemed easy to trigger, so blacklist this. Opt in for known good archs. Signed-off-by:

This rwlock uses the arch_spin_lock_t as a waitqueue, and assuming the arch_spin_lock_t is a fair lock (ticket,mcs etc..) the resulting rwlock is a fair lock. It fits in the same 8 bytes as the regular rwlock_t by folding the reader and writer count into a single integer, using the remaining 4 bytes for the arch_spinlock_t. Architectures that can single-copy adress bytes can optimize queue_write_unlock() with a 0 write to the LSB (the write count). Performance as measured by Davidlohr Bueso (rwlock_t -> qrwlock_t): +--------------+-------------+---------------+ | Workload | #users | delta | +--------------+-------------+---------------+ | alltests | > 1400 | -4.83% | | custom | 0-100,> 100 | +1.43%,-1.57% | | high_systime | > 1000 | -2.61 | | shared | all | +0.32 | +--------------+-------------+---------------+ http://www.stgolabs.net/qrwlock-stuff/aim7-results-vs-rwsem_optsin/ Signed-off-by:

The Kconfig symbols ARCH_INLINE_READ_UNLOCK_IRQ, ARCH_INLINE_SPIN_UNLOCK_IRQ, and ARCH_INLINE_WRITE_UNLOCK_IRQ were added in v2.6.33, but have never actually been used. Ingo Molnar spotted that this is caused by three identical copy/paste erros. Eg, the Kconfig entry for INLINE_READ_UNLOCK_IRQ has an (optional) dependency on: ARCH_INLINE_READ_UNLOCK_BH were it apparently should depend on: ARCH_INLINE_READ_UNLOCK_IRQ instead. Likewise for the Kconfig entries for INLINE_SPIN_UNLOCK_IRQ and INLINE_WRITE_UNLOCK_IRQ. Fix these three errors. This never really caused any real problems as these symbols are set (or unset) in a group - but it's worth fixing it nevertheless. Reported-by:Paul Bolle <pebolle@tiscali.nl> Signed-off-by:

Break out the DEBUG_SPINLOCK dependency (requires moving up UNINLINE_SPIN_UNLOCK, as this was the only one in that block not depending on that option). Avoid putting values not selected into the resulting .config - they are not useful for anything, make the output less legible, and just consume space: Use "depends on" rather than directly setting the default from the combined dependency values.

Get rid of INLINE_SPIN_UNLOCK entirely replacing it with UNINLINE_SPIN_UNLOCK instead of the reverse meaning. Whoever wants to change the default spinlock inlining behavior and uninline the spinlocks for some weird reason, such as spinlock debugging, paravirt etc. can now all just select UNINLINE_SPIN_UNLOCK Original discussion at: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/3/21/357 Suggested-by:

commit 892a7c67 (locking: Allow arch-inlined spinlocks) implements the selection of which lock functions are inlined based on defines in arch/.../spinlock.h: #define __always_inline__LOCK_FUNCTION Despite of the name __always_inline__* the lock functions can be built out of line depending on config options. Also if the arch does not set some inline defines the generic code might set them; again depending on config options. This makes it unnecessary hard to figure out when and which lock functions are inlined. Aside of that it makes it way harder and messier for -rt to manipulate the lock functions. Convert the inlining decision to CONFIG switches. Each lock function is inlined depending on CONFIG_INLINE_*. The configs implement the existing dependencies. The architecture code can select ARCH_INLINE_* to signal that it wants the corresponding lock function inlined. ARCH_INLINE_* is necessary as Kconfig ignores "depends on" restrictions when a config element is selected. No functional change. Signed-off-by:
