[PATCH v2 11/11] grep: move driver pre-load out of critical section

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

 



In builtin/grep.c:add_work() we pre-load the userdiff drivers before
adding the grep_source in the todo list. This operation is currently
being performed after acquiring the grep_mutex, but as it's already
thread-safe, we don't need to protect it here. So let's move it out of
the critical section which should avoid thread contention and improve
performance.

Running[1] `git grep --threads=8 abcd[02] HEAD` on chromium's
repository[2], I got the following mean times for 30 executions after 2
warmups:

        Original         |  6.2886s
-------------------------|-----------
 Out of critical section |  5.7852s

[1]: Tests performed on an i7-7700HQ with 16GB of RAM and SSD, running
     Manjaro Linux.
[2]: chromium’s repo at commit 03ae96f (“Add filters testing at DSF=2”,
         04-06-2019), after a 'git gc' execution.
