[PATCH] mm/zsmalloc: Replace bit spinlock and get_cpu_var() usage.

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

 



From: Mike Galbraith <umgwanakikbuti@xxxxxxxxx>

For efficiency reasons, zsmalloc is using a slim `handle'. The value is
the address of a memory allocation of 4 or 8 bytes depending on the size
of the long data type. The lowest bit in that allocated memory is used
as a bit spin lock.
The usage of the bit spin lock is problematic because with the bit spin
lock held zsmalloc acquires a rwlock_t and spinlock_t which are both
sleeping locks on PREEMPT_RT and therefore must not be acquired with
disabled preemption.

Extend the handle to struct zsmalloc_handle which holds the old handle as
addr and a spinlock_t which replaces the bit spinlock. Replace all the
wrapper functions accordingly.

The usage of get_cpu_var() in zs_map_object() is problematic because
it disables preemption and makes it impossible to acquire any sleeping
lock on PREEMPT_RT such as a spinlock_t.
Replace the get_cpu_var() usage with a local_lock_t which is embedded
struct mapping_area. It ensures that the access the struct is
synchronized against all users on the same CPU.

This survived LTP testing.

[bigeasy: replace the bitspin_lock() with a mutex, get_locked_var() and
 patch description. Mike then fixed the size magic and made handle lock
 spinlock_t.]

Minchan, this is the replacement we have so far. There is something
similar for block/zram. By disabling zsmalloc we also have zram disabled
so no fallout.
To my best knowledge, the only usage/testing is LTP based.
