All the time we are holding the bh lock on this CPU. That seems excessive to me. If we are going to spin that long, can you find a way to allocate/reserve your resources, send the command, then drop the bh lock while you spin, and retake it before you complete once the spinning is done? > +#define HNS_ROCE_CMQ_TX_TIMEOUT 200 or you could reduce the size of this define... -- Doug Ledford <dledford@xxxxxxxxxx> GPG KeyID: B826A3330E572FDD Key fingerprint = AE6B 1BDA 122B 23B4 265B 1274 B826 A333 0E57 2FDD -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rdma" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
