[PATCH v6 1/6] rwsem: check the lock before cpmxchg in down_write_trylock

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

 



Cmpxchg will cause the cacheline bouning when do the value checking,
that cause scalability issue in a large machine (like a 80 core box).

So a lock pre-read can relief this contention.
