[PATCH 3.10] pstore: Make spinlock per zone instead of global

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

 



From: Joel Fernandes <joelaf@xxxxxxxxxx>

Currently pstore has a global spinlock for all zones. Since the zones
are independent and modify different areas of memory, there's no need
to have a global lock, so we should use a per-zone lock as introduced
here. Also, when ramoops's ftrace use-case has a FTRACE_PER_CPU flag
introduced later, which splits the ftrace memory area into a single zone
per CPU, it will eliminate the need for locking. In preparation for this,
make the locking optional.

Supply for commit log (Leo):

This patch has another effect is to fix deadlock issue when enable
ftrace and console log together in ramoops; in the old code ftrace
buffer and console buffer in ramoops use the same raw spinlock
"buffer_lock". So in below case the kernel firstly has acquired the
lock for console buffer; when exit from console recording it calls
function _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore(), this function has been enabled
function tracer when enter it, before release the spinlock it call
function tracing and acquire the spinlock again. At the end the spinlock
recursion happens and introduce the hang.

This patch uses separate locks for every buffer, this let console
buffer and ftrace buffer uses the dedicated locking in the same flow;
this effectively fixes the lock recursion issue.
