From 90631822c5d307b5410500806e8ac3e63928aa3e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jason Low Date: Mon, 14 Jul 2014 10:27:49 -0700 Subject: locking/spinlocks/mcs: Convert osq lock to atomic_t to reduce overhead The cancellable MCS spinlock is currently used to queue threads that are doing optimistic spinning. It uses per-cpu nodes, where a thread obtaining the lock would access and queue the local node corresponding to the CPU that it's running on. Currently, the cancellable MCS lock is implemented by using pointers to these nodes. In this patch, instead of operating on pointers to the per-cpu nodes, we store the CPU numbers in which the per-cpu nodes correspond to in atomic_t. A similar concept is used with the qspinlock. By operating on the CPU # of the nodes using atomic_t instead of pointers to those nodes, this can reduce the overhead of the cancellable MCS spinlock by 32 bits (on 64 bit systems).

It would be preferable if we use an init macro to do the initialization like we do with other locks. This patch introduces and uses a macro and function for initializing the osq lock.
