The typical caller is lock_set_subclass(), after that class will not be cached anymore. This patch tries to achive the goal of commit 62016250 by always setting ->class_cache in register_lock_class(). === Score comparison of benchmarks === for i in `seq 1 10`; do ./perf bench -f simple sched messaging; done before: min: 0.604, max: 0.660, avg: 0.622 after: min: 0.414, max: 0.473, avg: 0.427 for i in `seq 1 10`; do ./perf bench -f simple sched messaging -g 40; done before: min: 2.347, max: 2.421, avg: 2.391 after: min: 1.652, max: 1.699, avg: 1.671 Signed-off-by: Yong Zhang <yong.zhang0@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: Hitoshi Mitake <mitake@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@xxxxxxxxx> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20111109080714.GC8124@zhy Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxx> --- kernel/lockdep.c | 3 ++- 1 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/kernel/lockdep.c b/kernel/lockdep.c index e69434b..103bed8 100644 --- a/kernel/lockdep.c +++ b/kernel/lockdep.c @@ -722,7 +722,7 @@ register_lock_class(struct lockdep_map *lock, unsigned int subclass, int force) class = look_up_lock_class(lock, subclass); if (likely(class)) - return class; + goto out_set_class_cache; /* * Debug-check: all keys must be persistent! @@ -807,6 +807,7 @@ out_unlock_set: graph_unlock(); raw_local_irq_restore(flags); +out_set_class_cache: if (!subclass || force) lock->class_cache[0] = class; else if (subclass < NR_LOCKDEP_CACHING_CLASSES) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-tip-commits" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
