[PATCH-tip 11/22] locking/rwsem: Implement a new locking scheme

Waiman Long longman at redhat.com
Fri Feb 8 06:07:15 AEDT 2019


The current way of using various reader, writer and waiting biases
in the rwsem code are confusing and hard to understand. I have to
reread the rwsem count guide in the rwsem-xadd.c file from time to
time to remind myself how this whole thing works. It also makes the
rwsem code harder to be optimized.

To make rwsem more sane, a new locking scheme similar to the one in
qrwlock is now being used.  The count is now a 32-bit atomic value
in all architectures. The current bit definitions are:

  Bit  0   - writer locked bit
  Bit  1   - waiters present bit
  Bits 2-7 - reserved for future extension
  Bits 8-X - reader count (24/56 bits)

Now the cmpxchg instruction is used to acquire the write lock. The
read lock is still acquired with xadd instruction, so there is no
change here.  This scheme will allow up to 16M active readers which
should be more than enough. We can always use some more reserved bits
if necessary.

With that change, we can deterministically know if a rwsem has been
write-locked. Looking at the count alone, however, one cannot determine
for certain if a rwsem is owned by readers or not as the readers that
set the reader count bits may be in the process of backing out. So we
still need the reader-owned bit in the owner field to be sure.

With a locking microbenchmark running on 5.0 based kernel, the total
locking rates (in kops/s) of the benchmark on a 4-socket 56-core
x86-64 system before and after the patch were as follows:

                  Before Patch      After Patch
   # of Threads  wlock    rlock    wlock    rlock
   ------------  -----    -----    -----    -----
        1        28,773   30,164   29,063   29,967
        2         7,435   15,167    6,746   13,198
        4         7,181   14,438    6,515   12,763
        8         6,918   13,796    6,747   13,419
       16         6,554   16,030    6,653   15,534

The locking rates of the benchmark on a Power9 system were as follows:

                  Before Patch      After Patch
   # of Threads  wlock    rlock    wlock    rlock
   ------------  -----    -----    -----    -----
        1        11,527   12,378   11,527   12,195
        2         6,318   15,116    7,690   15,065
        4         3,957   16,812    4,495   16,884
        8         3,617   16,496    3,993   16,588

The locking rates of the benchmark on a 2-socket ARM64 system were
as follows:

                  Before Patch      After Patch
   # of Threads  wlock    rlock    wlock    rlock
   ------------  -----    -----    -----    -----
        1        23,703   23,208   23,923   23,167
        2         6,206   11,996    6,756   13,268
        4         6,098   12,343    6,928   15,064
        8         6,007   13,152    7,117   15,335

For x86, the locking rate dropped somewhat at low contention level with
the patch.  At high contention level, however, the performance recovered.
For both Power9 and ARM64, the patch caused no performance drop. In fact,
it improved a little bit after the patch.
