[PATCH] vhost: wake up worker outside spin_lock

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

 



the wake_up_process func is included by spin_lock/unlock in vhost_work_queue,
but it could be done outside the spin_lock. 
I have test it with kernel 3.0.27 and guest suse11-sp2 using iperf, the num as below.
                 orignal                   modified
thread_num  tp(Gbps)   vhost(%)  |  tp(Gbps)     vhost(%)
1           9.59         28.82   |      9.59        27.49
8            9.61        32.92   |      9.62        26.77
64            9.58        46.48  |     9.55        38.99
256            9.6        63.7   |      9.6         52.59
