From 7675104990ed255b9315a82ae827ff312a2a88a2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Fri, 1 May 2015 08:27:50 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] sched: Implement lockless wake-queues This is useful for locking primitives that can effect multiple wakeups per operation and want to avoid lock internal lock contention by delaying the wakeups until we've released the lock internal locks. Alternatively it can be used to avoid issuing multiple wakeups, and thus save a few cycles, in packet processing. Queue all target tasks and wakeup once you've processed all packets. That way you avoid waking the target task multiple times if there were multiple packets for the same task. Properties of a wake_q are: - Lockless, as queue head must reside on the stack. - Being a queue, maintains wakeup order passed by the callers. This can be important for otherwise, in scenarios where highly contended locks could affect any reliance on lock fairness. - A queued task cannot be added again until it is woken up. This patch adds the needed infrastructure into the scheduler code and uses the new wake_list to delay the futex wakeups until after we've released the hash bucket locks.
