[PATCH v2] parisc: Various spin lock optimizations

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

 



V2 adjusts the barrier used in arch_spin_unlock().

While investigating the stall problem, I looked closely at our spin lock implementation and found
a number of minor issues.

Regarding arch_spin_is_locked(), I wasn't convinced that the barrier was correct, so I switched the
code to use READ_ONCE.

Regarding arch_spin_lock(), cpu_relax() slightly pessimizes the loop code generated by gcc.  The pointer
"a" is volatile, so we can just use continue.

Regarding arch_spin_lock_flags(), I went back to the old code which just toggles interrupts on and off
in the wait loop.  It's rather dangerous to allow the routine to set all the PSW flag bits and wierd
things happen if local_save_flags() is moved.

Regarding arch_spin_unlock(), we can use an ordered store to release the lock and eliminate the ldcw
barrier.

Finally regarding arch_spin_trylock(), I just shortened the C code.
