The patch titled Subject: kernel/locking: compute current directly has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was kernel-locking-compute-current-directly.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Davidlohr Bueso <dave@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: kernel/locking: compute current directly This patch effectively replaces the tsk pointer dereference (which is obviously == current), to directly use get_current() macro. This is to make the removal of setting foreign task states smoother and painfully obvious. Performance win on some archs such as x86-64 and ppc64. On a microbenchmark that calls set_task_state() vs set_current_state() and an inode rwsem pounding benchmark doing unlink: == 1. x86-64 == Avg runtime set_task_state(): 601 msecs Avg runtime set_current_state(): 552 msecs vanilla dirty Hmean unlink1-processes-2 36089.26 ( 0.00%) 38977.33 ( 8.00%) Hmean unlink1-processes-5 28555.01 ( 0.00%) 29832.55 ( 4.28%) Hmean unlink1-processes-8 37323.75 ( 0.00%) 44974.57 ( 20.50%) Hmean unlink1-processes-12 43571.88 ( 0.00%) 44283.01 ( 1.63%) Hmean unlink1-processes-21 34431.52 ( 0.00%) 38284.45 ( 11.19%) Hmean unlink1-processes-30 34813.26 ( 0.00%) 37975.17 ( 9.08%) Hmean unlink1-processes-48 37048.90 ( 0.00%) 39862.78 ( 7.59%) Hmean unlink1-processes-79 35630.01 ( 0.00%) 36855.30 ( 3.44%) Hmean unlink1-processes-110 36115.85 ( 0.00%) 39843.91 ( 10.32%) Hmean unlink1-processes-141 32546.96 ( 0.00%) 35418.52 ( 8.82%) Hmean unlink1-processes-172 34674.79 ( 0.00%) 36899.21 ( 6.42%) Hmean unlink1-processes-203 37303.11 ( 0.00%) 36393.04 ( -2.44%) Hmean unlink1-processes-224 35712.13 ( 0.00%) 36685.96 ( 2.73%) == 2. ppc64le == Avg runtime set_task_state(): 938 msecs Avg runtime set_current_state: 940 msecs vanilla dirty Hmean unlink1-processes-2 19269.19 ( 0.00%) 30704.50 ( 59.35%) Hmean unlink1-processes-5 20106.15 ( 0.00%) 21804.15 ( 8.45%) Hmean unlink1-processes-8 17496.97 ( 0.00%) 17243.28 ( -1.45%) Hmean unlink1-processes-12 14224.15 ( 0.00%) 17240.21 ( 21.20%) Hmean unlink1-processes-21 14155.66 ( 0.00%) 15681.23 ( 10.78%) Hmean unlink1-processes-30 14450.70 ( 0.00%) 15995.83 ( 10.69%) Hmean unlink1-processes-48 16945.57 ( 0.00%) 16370.42 ( -3.39%) Hmean unlink1-processes-79 15788.39 ( 0.00%) 14639.27 ( -7.28%) Hmean unlink1-processes-110 14268.48 ( 0.00%) 14377.40 ( 0.76%) Hmean unlink1-processes-141 14023.65 ( 0.00%) 16271.69 ( 16.03%) Hmean unlink1-processes-172 13417.62 ( 0.00%) 16067.55 ( 19.75%) Hmean unlink1-processes-203 15293.08 ( 0.00%) 15440.40 ( 0.96%) Hmean unlink1-processes-234 13719.32 ( 0.00%) 16190.74 ( 18.01%) Hmean unlink1-processes-265 16400.97 ( 0.00%) 16115.22 ( -1.74%) Hmean unlink1-processes-296 14388.60 ( 0.00%) 16216.13 ( 12.70%) Hmean unlink1-processes-320 15771.85 ( 0.00%) 15905.96 ( 0.85%) Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1483479794-14013-4-git-send-email-dave@xxxxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Davidlohr Bueso <dbueso@xxxxxxx> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxx> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@xxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- kernel/locking/mutex.c | 19 +++++++++---------- kernel/locking/rwsem-spinlock.c | 18 +++++++----------- kernel/locking/rwsem-xadd.c | 7 +++---- kernel/locking/semaphore.c | 7 +++---- 4 files changed, 22 insertions(+), 29 deletions(-) diff -puN kernel/locking/mutex.c~kernel-locking-compute-current-directly kernel/locking/mutex.c --- a/kernel/locking/mutex.c~kernel-locking-compute-current-directly +++ a/kernel/locking/mutex.c @@ -622,7 +622,6 @@ __mutex_lock_common(struct mutex *lock, struct lockdep_map *nest_lock, unsigned long ip, struct ww_acquire_ctx *ww_ctx, const bool use_ww_ctx) { - struct task_struct *task = current; struct mutex_waiter waiter; unsigned long flags; bool first = false; @@ -656,18 +655,18 @@ __mutex_lock_common(struct mutex *lock, goto skip_wait; debug_mutex_lock_common(lock, &waiter); - debug_mutex_add_waiter(lock, &waiter, task); + debug_mutex_add_waiter(lock, &waiter, current); /* add waiting tasks to the end of the waitqueue (FIFO): */ list_add_tail(&waiter.list, &lock->wait_list); - waiter.task = task; + waiter.task = current; if (__mutex_waiter_is_first(lock, &waiter)) __mutex_set_flag(lock, MUTEX_FLAG_WAITERS); lock_contended(&lock->dep_map, ip); - set_task_state(task, state); + set_task_state(current, state); for (;;) { /* * Once we hold wait_lock, we're serialized against @@ -683,7 +682,7 @@ __mutex_lock_common(struct mutex *lock, * wait_lock.
