[PATCH 6/6] MIPS: cmpxchg: Use cmpxchg_local() for {cmp_}xchg_small()

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

 



From: Alexander Sverdlin <alexander.sverdlin@xxxxxxxxx>

It makes no sense to fold smp_mb__before_llsc()/smp_llsc_mb() again and
again, leave only one barrier pair in the outer function.

This removes one SYNCW from __xchg_small() and brings around 10%
performance improvement in a tight spinlock loop with 6 threads on a 6 core
Octeon.
