Re: Unfair qspinlocks on ARM64 without LSE atomics => 3ms delay in interrupt handling

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

 



Hello,

following patch is my current approach for fixing this issue. I introduced
big_cpu_relax(), which uses Will's implementation [1] on ARM64 without
LSE atomics and original cpu_relax() on any other CPU.

Anyone has a better idea how to solve this issue properly?
