No, I didn't measure the performance, but recently I noticed the following warning: ============================= WARNING: suspicious RCU usage 5.10.0-rc1-00001-g6f65599d1f4f-dirty #1800 Not tainted ----------------------------- ./include/trace/events/lock.h:37 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage! other info that might help us debug this: rcu_scheduler_active = 2, debug_locks = 1 RCU used illegally from extended quiescent state! no locks held by swapper/0/0. stack backtrace: CPU: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 5.10.0-rc1-00001-g6f65599d1f4f-dirty #1800 Hardware name: Samsung Exynos (Flattened Device Tree) [<c0111514>] (unwind_backtrace) from [<c010ceb8>] (show_stack+0x10/0x14) [<c010ceb8>] (show_stack) from [<c0b1d8dc>] (dump_stack+0xb4/0xd4) [<c0b1d8dc>] (dump_stack) from [<c0194acc>] (lock_acquire+0x418/0x584) [<c0194acc>] (lock_acquire) from [<c0b29e58>] (_raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0x4c/0x60) [<c0b29e58>] (_raw_spin_lock_irqsave) from [<c0897af4>] (of_device_is_compatible+0x1c/0x4c) [<c0897af4>] (of_device_is_compatible) from [<c01216d8>] (exynos_core_restart+0x14/0xb0) [<c01216d8>] (exynos_core_restart) from [<c0120a78>] (exynos_cpu0_enter_aftr+0x1d0/0x1dc) [<c0120a78>] (exynos_cpu0_enter_aftr) from [<c08575b0>] (exynos_enter_coupled_lowpower+0x44/0x74) [<c08575b0>] (exynos_enter_coupled_lowpower) from [<c085477c>] (cpuidle_enter_state+0x178/0x660) [<c085477c>] (cpuidle_enter_state) from [<c08572dc>] (cpuidle_enter_state_coupled+0x35c/0x378) [<c08572dc>] (cpuidle_enter_state_coupled) from [<c0854cc8>] (cpuidle_enter+0x50/0x54) [<c0854cc8>] (cpuidle_enter) from [<c0164854>] (do_idle+0x224/0x2a4) [<c0164854>] (do_idle) from [<c0164c88>] (cpu_startup_entry+0x18/0x1c) [<c0164c88>] (cpu_startup_entry) from [<c1100fa0>] (start_kernel+0x640/0x67c) [<c1100fa0>] (start_kernel) from [<00000000>] (0x0) I will add this to the commit message and resend.
