[PATCH 0/2] cpufreq: cpufreq_driver_lock is hot on large systems

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I am noticing the cpufreq_driver_lock is quite hot.
On an idle 512 system perf shows me most of the system time is spent on this
lock.  This is quite signifigant as top shows 5% of time in system time.
My solution was to first convert the lock to a rwlock and then to the rcu.
