[RFC PATCH] sbitmap: fix batching wakeup

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

 



From: David Jeffery <djeffery@xxxxxxxxxx>

Current code supposes that it is enough to provide forward progress by just
waking up one wait queue after one completion batch is done.

Unfortunately this way isn't enough, cause waiter can be added to
wait queue just after it is woken up.

Follows one example(64 depth, wake_batch is 8)

1) all 64 tags are active

2) in each wait queue, there is only one single waiter

3) each time one completion batch(8 completions) wakes up just one waiter in each wait
queue, then immediately one new sleeper is added to this wait queue

4) after 64 completions, 8 waiters are wakeup, and there are still 8 waiters in each
wait queue

5) after another 8 active tags are completed, only one waiter can be wakeup, and the other 7
can't be waken up anymore.

Turns out it isn't easy to fix this problem, so simply wakeup enough waiters for
single batch.
