License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

locking/rwsem: Implement lock handoff to prevent lock starvation
Because of writer lock stealing, it is possible that a constant
stream of incoming writers will cause a waiting writer or reader to
wait indefinitely leading to lock starvation.
This patch implements a lock handoff mechanism to disable lock stealing
and force lock handoff to the first waiter or waiters (for readers)
in the queue after at least a 4ms waiting period unless it is a RT
writer task which doesn't need to wait. The waiting period is used to
avoid discouraging lock stealing too much to affect performance.
The setting and clearing of the handoff bit is serialized by the
wait_lock. So racing is not possible.
A rwsem microbenchmark was run for 5 seconds on a 2-socket 40-core
80-thread Skylake system with a v5.1 based kernel and 240 write_lock
threads with 5us sleep critical section.
Before the patch, the min/mean/max numbers of locking operations for
the locking threads were 1/7,792/173,696. After the patch, the figures
became 5,842/6,542/7,458. It can be seen that the rwsem became much
more fair, though there was a drop of about 16% in the mean locking
operations done which was a tradeoff of having better fairness.
Making the waiter set the handoff bit right after the first wakeup can
impact performance especially with a mixed reader/writer workload. With
the same microbenchmark with short critical section and equal number of
reader and writer threads (40/40), the reader/writer locking operation
counts with the current patch were:
40 readers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 1,793/1,794/1,796
40 writers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 1,793/34,956/86,081
By making waiter set handoff bit immediately after wakeup:
40 readers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 43/44/46
40 writers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 43/1,263/3,191

locking/rwsem: Implement lock handoff to prevent lock starvation
Because of writer lock stealing, it is possible that a constant
stream of incoming writers will cause a waiting writer or reader to
wait indefinitely leading to lock starvation.
This patch implements a lock handoff mechanism to disable lock stealing
and force lock handoff to the first waiter or waiters (for readers)
in the queue after at least a 4ms waiting period unless it is a RT
writer task which doesn't need to wait. The waiting period is used to
avoid discouraging lock stealing too much to affect performance.
The setting and clearing of the handoff bit is serialized by the
wait_lock. So racing is not possible.
A rwsem microbenchmark was run for 5 seconds on a 2-socket 40-core
80-thread Skylake system with a v5.1 based kernel and 240 write_lock
threads with 5us sleep critical section.
Before the patch, the min/mean/max numbers of locking operations for
the locking threads were 1/7,792/173,696. After the patch, the figures
became 5,842/6,542/7,458. It can be seen that the rwsem became much
more fair, though there was a drop of about 16% in the mean locking
operations done which was a tradeoff of having better fairness.
Making the waiter set the handoff bit right after the first wakeup can
impact performance especially with a mixed reader/writer workload. With
the same microbenchmark with short critical section and equal number of
reader and writer threads (40/40), the reader/writer locking operation
counts with the current patch were:
40 readers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 1,793/1,794/1,796
40 writers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 1,793/34,956/86,081
By making waiter set handoff bit immediately after wakeup:
40 readers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 43/44/46
40 writers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 43/1,263/3,191

locking/rwsem: Wake up almost all readers in wait queue
When the front of the wait queue is a reader, other readers
immediately following the first reader will also be woken up at the
same time. However, if there is a writer in between. Those readers
behind the writer will not be woken up.
Because of optimistic spinning, the lock acquisition order is not FIFO
anyway. The lock handoff mechanism will ensure that lock starvation
will not happen.
Assuming that the lock hold times of the other readers still in the
queue will be about the same as the readers that are being woken up,
there is really not much additional cost other than the additional
latency due to the wakeup of additional tasks by the waker. Therefore
all the readers up to a maximum of 256 in the queue are woken up when
the first waiter is a reader to improve reader throughput. This is
somewhat similar in concept to a phase-fair R/W lock.
With a locking microbenchmark running on 5.1 based kernel, the total
locking rates (in kops/s) on a 8-socket IvyBridge-EX system with
equal numbers of readers and writers before and after this patch were
as follows:
# of Threads Pre-Patch Post-patch
------------ --------- ----------
4 1,641 1,674
8 731 1,062
16 564 924
32 78 300
64 38 195
240 50 149
There is no performance gain at low contention level. At high contention
level, however, this patch gives a pretty decent performance boost.

locking/rwsem: Implement lock handoff to prevent lock starvation
Because of writer lock stealing, it is possible that a constant
stream of incoming writers will cause a waiting writer or reader to
wait indefinitely leading to lock starvation.
This patch implements a lock handoff mechanism to disable lock stealing
and force lock handoff to the first waiter or waiters (for readers)
in the queue after at least a 4ms waiting period unless it is a RT
writer task which doesn't need to wait. The waiting period is used to
avoid discouraging lock stealing too much to affect performance.
The setting and clearing of the handoff bit is serialized by the
wait_lock. So racing is not possible.
A rwsem microbenchmark was run for 5 seconds on a 2-socket 40-core
80-thread Skylake system with a v5.1 based kernel and 240 write_lock
threads with 5us sleep critical section.
Before the patch, the min/mean/max numbers of locking operations for
the locking threads were 1/7,792/173,696. After the patch, the figures
became 5,842/6,542/7,458. It can be seen that the rwsem became much
more fair, though there was a drop of about 16% in the mean locking
operations done which was a tradeoff of having better fairness.
Making the waiter set the handoff bit right after the first wakeup can
impact performance especially with a mixed reader/writer workload. With
the same microbenchmark with short critical section and equal number of
reader and writer threads (40/40), the reader/writer locking operation
counts with the current patch were:
40 readers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 1,793/1,794/1,796
40 writers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 1,793/34,956/86,081
By making waiter set handoff bit immediately after wakeup:
40 readers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 43/44/46
40 writers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 43/1,263/3,191

locking/rwsem: Wake up almost all readers in wait queue
When the front of the wait queue is a reader, other readers
immediately following the first reader will also be woken up at the
same time. However, if there is a writer in between. Those readers
behind the writer will not be woken up.
Because of optimistic spinning, the lock acquisition order is not FIFO
anyway. The lock handoff mechanism will ensure that lock starvation
will not happen.
Assuming that the lock hold times of the other readers still in the
queue will be about the same as the readers that are being woken up,
there is really not much additional cost other than the additional
latency due to the wakeup of additional tasks by the waker. Therefore
all the readers up to a maximum of 256 in the queue are woken up when
the first waiter is a reader to improve reader throughput. This is
somewhat similar in concept to a phase-fair R/W lock.
With a locking microbenchmark running on 5.1 based kernel, the total
locking rates (in kops/s) on a 8-socket IvyBridge-EX system with

240 50 149
There is no performance gain at low contention level. At high contention
level, however, this patch gives a pretty decent performance boost.

somewhat similar in concept to a phase-fair R/W lock.
With a locking microbenchmark running on 5.1 based kernel, the total
locking rates (in kops/s) on a 8-socket IvyBridge-EX system with
equal numbers of readers and writers before and after this patch were
as follows:

There is no performance gain at low contention level. At high contention
level, however, this patch gives a pretty decent performance boost.

locking/rwsem: Implement lock handoff to prevent lock starvation
Because of writer lock stealing, it is possible that a constant
stream of incoming writers will cause a waiting writer or reader to
wait indefinitely leading to lock starvation.
This patch implements a lock handoff mechanism to disable lock stealing
and force lock handoff to the first waiter or waiters (for readers)
in the queue after at least a 4ms waiting period unless it is a RT
writer task which doesn't need to wait. The waiting period is used to
avoid discouraging lock stealing too much to affect performance.
The setting and clearing of the handoff bit is serialized by the
wait_lock. So racing is not possible.
A rwsem microbenchmark was run for 5 seconds on a 2-socket 40-core
80-thread Skylake system with a v5.1 based kernel and 240 write_lock
threads with 5us sleep critical section.
Before the patch, the min/mean/max numbers of locking operations for
the locking threads were 1/7,792/173,696. After the patch, the figures
became 5,842/6,542/7,458. It can be seen that the rwsem became much
more fair, though there was a drop of about 16% in the mean locking
operations done which was a tradeoff of having better fairness.
Making the waiter set the handoff bit right after the first wakeup can
impact performance especially with a mixed reader/writer workload. With
the same microbenchmark with short critical section and equal number of
reader and writer threads (40/40), the reader/writer locking operation
counts with the current patch were:
40 readers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 1,793/1,794/1,796
40 writers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 1,793/34,956/86,081
By making waiter set handoff bit immediately after wakeup:
40 readers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 43/44/46
40 writers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 43/1,263/3,191

locking/rwsem: Implement lock handoff to prevent lock starvation
Because of writer lock stealing, it is possible that a constant
stream of incoming writers will cause a waiting writer or reader to
wait indefinitely leading to lock starvation.
This patch implements a lock handoff mechanism to disable lock stealing
and force lock handoff to the first waiter or waiters (for readers)
in the queue after at least a 4ms waiting period unless it is a RT
writer task which doesn't need to wait. The waiting period is used to
avoid discouraging lock stealing too much to affect performance.
The setting and clearing of the handoff bit is serialized by the
wait_lock. So racing is not possible.
A rwsem microbenchmark was run for 5 seconds on a 2-socket 40-core
80-thread Skylake system with a v5.1 based kernel and 240 write_lock
threads with 5us sleep critical section.
Before the patch, the min/mean/max numbers of locking operations for
the locking threads were 1/7,792/173,696. After the patch, the figures
became 5,842/6,542/7,458. It can be seen that the rwsem became much
more fair, though there was a drop of about 16% in the mean locking
operations done which was a tradeoff of having better fairness.
Making the waiter set the handoff bit right after the first wakeup can
impact performance especially with a mixed reader/writer workload. With
the same microbenchmark with short critical section and equal number of
reader and writer threads (40/40), the reader/writer locking operation
counts with the current patch were:
40 readers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 1,793/1,794/1,796
40 writers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 1,793/34,956/86,081
By making waiter set handoff bit immediately after wakeup:
40 readers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 43/44/46
40 writers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 43/1,263/3,191

locking/rwsem: More optimal RT task handling of null owner
An RT task can do optimistic spinning only if the lock holder is
actually running. If the state of the lock holder isn't known, there
is a possibility that high priority of the RT task may block forward
progress of the lock holder if it happens to reside on the same CPU.
This will lead to deadlock. So we have to make sure that an RT task
will not spin on a reader-owned rwsem.
When the owner is temporarily set to NULL, there are two cases
where we may want to continue spinning:
1) The lock owner is in the process of releasing the lock, sem->owner
is cleared but the lock has not been released yet.
2) The lock was free and owner cleared, but another task just comes
in and acquire the lock before we try to get it. The new owner may
be a spinnable writer.
So an RT task is now made to retry one more time to see if it can
acquire the lock or continue spinning on the new owning writer.
When testing on a 8-socket IvyBridge-EX system, the one additional retry
seems to improve locking performance of RT write locking threads under
heavy contentions. The table below shows the locking rates (in kops/s)
with various write locking threads before and after the patch.

locking/rwsem: More optimal RT task handling of null owner
An RT task can do optimistic spinning only if the lock holder is
actually running. If the state of the lock holder isn't known, there
is a possibility that high priority of the RT task may block forward
progress of the lock holder if it happens to reside on the same CPU.
This will lead to deadlock. So we have to make sure that an RT task
will not spin on a reader-owned rwsem.
When the owner is temporarily set to NULL, there are two cases
where we may want to continue spinning:
1) The lock owner is in the process of releasing the lock, sem->owner
is cleared but the lock has not been released yet.
2) The lock was free and owner cleared, but another task just comes
in and acquire the lock before we try to get it. The new owner may
be a spinnable writer.
So an RT task is now made to retry one more time to see if it can
acquire the lock or continue spinning on the new owning writer.
When testing on a 8-socket IvyBridge-EX system, the one additional retry
seems to improve locking performance of RT write locking threads under
heavy contentions. The table below shows the locking rates (in kops/s)
with various write locking threads before and after the patch.

locking/rwsem: Implement lock handoff to prevent lock starvation
Because of writer lock stealing, it is possible that a constant
stream of incoming writers will cause a waiting writer or reader to
wait indefinitely leading to lock starvation.
This patch implements a lock handoff mechanism to disable lock stealing
and force lock handoff to the first waiter or waiters (for readers)
in the queue after at least a 4ms waiting period unless it is a RT
writer task which doesn't need to wait. The waiting period is used to
avoid discouraging lock stealing too much to affect performance.
The setting and clearing of the handoff bit is serialized by the
wait_lock. So racing is not possible.
A rwsem microbenchmark was run for 5 seconds on a 2-socket 40-core
80-thread Skylake system with a v5.1 based kernel and 240 write_lock
threads with 5us sleep critical section.
Before the patch, the min/mean/max numbers of locking operations for
the locking threads were 1/7,792/173,696. After the patch, the figures
became 5,842/6,542/7,458. It can be seen that the rwsem became much
more fair, though there was a drop of about 16% in the mean locking
operations done which was a tradeoff of having better fairness.
Making the waiter set the handoff bit right after the first wakeup can
impact performance especially with a mixed reader/writer workload. With
the same microbenchmark with short critical section and equal number of
reader and writer threads (40/40), the reader/writer locking operation
counts with the current patch were:
40 readers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 1,793/1,794/1,796
40 writers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 1,793/34,956/86,081
By making waiter set handoff bit immediately after wakeup:
40 readers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 43/44/46
40 writers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 43/1,263/3,191

locking/rwsem: Implement lock handoff to prevent lock starvation
Because of writer lock stealing, it is possible that a constant
stream of incoming writers will cause a waiting writer or reader to
wait indefinitely leading to lock starvation.
This patch implements a lock handoff mechanism to disable lock stealing
and force lock handoff to the first waiter or waiters (for readers)
in the queue after at least a 4ms waiting period unless it is a RT
writer task which doesn't need to wait. The waiting period is used to
avoid discouraging lock stealing too much to affect performance.
The setting and clearing of the handoff bit is serialized by the
wait_lock. So racing is not possible.
A rwsem microbenchmark was run for 5 seconds on a 2-socket 40-core
80-thread Skylake system with a v5.1 based kernel and 240 write_lock
threads with 5us sleep critical section.
Before the patch, the min/mean/max numbers of locking operations for
the locking threads were 1/7,792/173,696. After the patch, the figures
became 5,842/6,542/7,458. It can be seen that the rwsem became much
more fair, though there was a drop of about 16% in the mean locking
operations done which was a tradeoff of having better fairness.
Making the waiter set the handoff bit right after the first wakeup can
impact performance especially with a mixed reader/writer workload. With
the same microbenchmark with short critical section and equal number of
reader and writer threads (40/40), the reader/writer locking operation
counts with the current patch were:
40 readers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 1,793/1,794/1,796
40 writers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 1,793/34,956/86,081
By making waiter set handoff bit immediately after wakeup:
40 readers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 43/44/46
40 writers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 43/1,263/3,191

locking/rwsem: Implement lock handoff to prevent lock starvation
Because of writer lock stealing, it is possible that a constant

wait indefinitely leading to lock starvation.
This patch implements a lock handoff mechanism to disable lock stealing
and force lock handoff to the first waiter or waiters (for readers)
in the queue after at least a 4ms waiting period unless it is a RT
writer task which doesn't need to wait. The waiting period is used to
avoid discouraging lock stealing too much to affect performance.
The setting and clearing of the handoff bit is serialized by the
wait_lock. So racing is not possible.
A rwsem microbenchmark was run for 5 seconds on a 2-socket 40-core
80-thread Skylake system with a v5.1 based kernel and 240 write_lock
threads with 5us sleep critical section.
Before the patch, the min/mean/max numbers of locking operations for
the locking threads were 1/7,792/173,696. After the patch, the figures
became 5,842/6,542/7,458. It can be seen that the rwsem became much
more fair, though there was a drop of about 16% in the mean locking
operations done which was a tradeoff of having better fairness.
Making the waiter set the handoff bit right after the first wakeup can
impact performance especially with a mixed reader/writer workload. With

locking/rwsem: Implement lock handoff to prevent lock starvation
Because of writer lock stealing, it is possible that a constant
stream of incoming writers will cause a waiting writer or reader to
wait indefinitely leading to lock starvation.
This patch implements a lock handoff mechanism to disable lock stealing
and force lock handoff to the first waiter or waiters (for readers)
in the queue after at least a 4ms waiting period unless it is a RT
writer task which doesn't need to wait. The waiting period is used to
avoid discouraging lock stealing too much to affect performance.
The setting and clearing of the handoff bit is serialized by the
wait_lock. So racing is not possible.
A rwsem microbenchmark was run for 5 seconds on a 2-socket 40-core
80-thread Skylake system with a v5.1 based kernel and 240 write_lock
threads with 5us sleep critical section.
Before the patch, the min/mean/max numbers of locking operations for
the locking threads were 1/7,792/173,696. After the patch, the figures
became 5,842/6,542/7,458. It can be seen that the rwsem became much
more fair, though there was a drop of about 16% in the mean locking
operations done which was a tradeoff of having better fairness.
Making the waiter set the handoff bit right after the first wakeup can
impact performance especially with a mixed reader/writer workload. With
the same microbenchmark with short critical section and equal number of
reader and writer threads (40/40), the reader/writer locking operation
counts with the current patch were:
40 readers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 1,793/1,794/1,796
40 writers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 1,793/34,956/86,081
By making waiter set handoff bit immediately after wakeup:
40 readers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 43/44/46
40 writers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 43/1,263/3,191

locking/rwsem: Support optimistic spinning
We have reached the point where our mutexes are quite fine tuned
for a number of situations. This includes the use of heuristics
and optimistic spinning, based on MCS locking techniques.
Exclusive ownership of read-write semaphores are, conceptually,
just about the same as mutexes, making them close cousins. To
this end we need to make them both perform similarly, and
right now, rwsems are simply not up to it. This was discovered
by both reverting commit 4fc3f1d6 (mm/rmap, migration: Make
rmap_walk_anon() and try_to_unmap_anon() more scalable) and
similarly, converting some other mutexes (ie: i_mmap_mutex) to
rwsems. This creates a situation where users have to choose
between a rwsem and mutex taking into account this important
performance difference. Specifically, biggest difference between
both locks is when we fail to acquire a mutex in the fastpath,
optimistic spinning comes in to play and we can avoid a large
amount of unnecessary sleeping and overhead of moving tasks in
and out of wait queue. Rwsems do not have such logic.
This patch, based on the work from Tim Chen and I, adds support
for write-side optimistic spinning when the lock is contended.
It also includes support for the recently added cancelable MCS
locking for adaptive spinning. Note that is is only applicable
to the xadd method, and the spinlock rwsem variant remains intact.
Allowing optimistic spinning before putting the writer on the wait
queue reduces wait queue contention and provided greater chance
for the rwsem to get acquired. With these changes, rwsem is on par
with mutex. The performance benefits can be seen on a number of
workloads. For instance, on a 8 socket, 80 core 64bit Westmere box,
aim7 shows the following improvements in throughput:
+--------------+---------------------+-----------------+
| Workload | throughput-increase | number of users |
+--------------+---------------------+-----------------+
| alltests | 20% | >1000 |
| custom | 27%, 60% | 10-100, >1000 |
| high_systime | 36%, 30% | >100, >1000 |
| shared | 58%, 29% | 10-100, >1000 |
+--------------+---------------------+-----------------+
There was also improvement on smaller systems, such as a quad-core
x86-64 laptop running a 30Gb PostgreSQL (pgbench) workload for up
to +60% in throughput for over 50 clients. Additionally, benefits
were also noticed in exim (mail server) workloads. Furthermore, no
performance regression have been seen at all.

locking/rwsem: Support optimistic spinning
We have reached the point where our mutexes are quite fine tuned
for a number of situations. This includes the use of heuristics
and optimistic spinning, based on MCS locking techniques.
Exclusive ownership of read-write semaphores are, conceptually,
just about the same as mutexes, making them close cousins. To
this end we need to make them both perform similarly, and
right now, rwsems are simply not up to it. This was discovered
by both reverting commit 4fc3f1d6 (mm/rmap, migration: Make
rmap_walk_anon() and try_to_unmap_anon() more scalable) and
similarly, converting some other mutexes (ie: i_mmap_mutex) to
rwsems. This creates a situation where users have to choose
between a rwsem and mutex taking into account this important
performance difference. Specifically, biggest difference between
both locks is when we fail to acquire a mutex in the fastpath,
optimistic spinning comes in to play and we can avoid a large
amount of unnecessary sleeping and overhead of moving tasks in
and out of wait queue. Rwsems do not have such logic.
This patch, based on the work from Tim Chen and I, adds support
for write-side optimistic spinning when the lock is contended.
It also includes support for the recently added cancelable MCS
locking for adaptive spinning. Note that is is only applicable
to the xadd method, and the spinlock rwsem variant remains intact.
Allowing optimistic spinning before putting the writer on the wait
queue reduces wait queue contention and provided greater chance
for the rwsem to get acquired. With these changes, rwsem is on par
with mutex. The performance benefits can be seen on a number of
workloads. For instance, on a 8 socket, 80 core 64bit Westmere box,
aim7 shows the following improvements in throughput:
+--------------+---------------------+-----------------+
| Workload | throughput-increase | number of users |
+--------------+---------------------+-----------------+
| alltests | 20% | >1000 |
| custom | 27%, 60% | 10-100, >1000 |
| high_systime | 36%, 30% | >100, >1000 |
| shared | 58%, 29% | 10-100, >1000 |
+--------------+---------------------+-----------------+
There was also improvement on smaller systems, such as a quad-core
x86-64 laptop running a 30Gb PostgreSQL (pgbench) workload for up
to +60% in throughput for over 50 clients. Additionally, benefits
were also noticed in exim (mail server) workloads. Furthermore, no
performance regression have been seen at all.
