From 7a215f89a0335582292ec6f3edaa3abd570da75a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Davidlohr Bueso Date: Fri, 30 Jan 2015 01:14:25 -0800 Subject: locking/rwsem: Set lock ownership ASAP In order to optimize the spinning step, we need to set the lock owner as soon as the lock is acquired; after a successful counter cmpxchg operation, that is. This is particularly useful as rwsems need to set the owner to nil for readers, so there is a greater chance of falling out of the spinning. Currently we only set the owner much later in the game, in the more generic level -- latency can be specially bad when waiting for a node->next pointer when releasing the osq in up_write calls. As such, update the owner inside rwsem_try_write_lock (when the lock is obtained after blocking) and rwsem_try_write_lock_unqueued (when the lock is obtained while spinning). This requires creating a new internal rwsem.h header to share the owner related calls. Also cleanup some headers for mutex and rwsem.
