rwsem: Implement writer lock-stealing for better scalability Commit 5a505085f043 ("mm/rmap: Convert the struct anon_vma::mutex to an rwsem") changed struct anon_vma::mutex to an rwsem, which caused aim7 fork_test performance to drop by 50%. Yuanhan Liu did the following excellent analysis: https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/1/29/84 and found that the regression is caused by strict, serialized, FIFO sequential write-ownership of rwsems. Ingo suggested implementing opportunistic lock-stealing for the front writer task in the waitqueue. Yuanhan Liu implemented lock-stealing for spinlock-rwsems, which indeed recovered much of the regression - confirming the analysis that the main factor in the regression was the FIFO writer-fairness of rwsems. In this patch we allow lock-stealing to happen when the first waiter is also writer. With that change in place the aim7 fork_test performance is fully recovered on my Intel NHM EP, NHM EX, SNB EP 2S and 4S test-machines.

* Writer lock-stealing by Alex Shi <alex.shi@intel.com>
rwsem: implement support for write lock stealing on the fastpath When we decide to wake up readers, we must first grant them as many read locks as necessary, and then actually wake up all these readers. But in order to know how many read shares to grant, we must first count the readers at the head of the queue. This might take a while if there are many readers, and we want to be protected against a writer stealing the lock while we're counting. To that end, we grant the first reader lock before counting how many more readers are queued. We also require some adjustments to the wake_type semantics. RWSEM_WAKE_NO_ACTIVE used to mean that we had found the count to be RWSEM_WAITING_BIAS, in which case the rwsem was known to be free as nobody could steal it while we hold the wait_lock. This doesn't make sense once we implement fastpath write lock stealing, so we now use RWSEM_WAKE_ANY in that case. Similarly, when rwsem_down_write_failed found that a read lock was active, it would use RWSEM_WAKE_READ_OWNED which signalled that new readers could be woken without checking first that the rwsem was available. We can't do that anymore since the existing readers might release their read locks, and a writer could steal the lock before we wake up additional readers. So, we have to use a new RWSEM_WAKE_READERS value to indicate we only want to wake readers, but we don't currently hold any read lock.

locking/rwsem: Support optimistic spinning We have reached the point where our mutexes are quite fine tuned for a number of situations. This includes the use of heuristics and optimistic spinning, based on MCS locking techniques. Exclusive ownership of read-write semaphores are, conceptually, just about the same as mutexes, making them close cousins. To this end we need to make them both perform similarly, and right now, rwsems are simply not up to it. This was discovered by both reverting commit 4fc3f1d6 (mm/rmap, migration: Make rmap_walk_anon() and try_to_unmap_anon() more scalable) and similarly, converting some other mutexes (ie: i_mmap_mutex) to rwsems. This creates a situation where users have to choose between a rwsem and mutex taking into account this important performance difference. Specifically, biggest difference between both locks is when we fail to acquire a mutex in the fastpath, optimistic spinning comes in to play and we can avoid a large amount of unnecessary sleeping and overhead of moving tasks in and out of wait queue. Rwsems do not have such logic. This patch, based on the work from Tim Chen and I, adds support for write-side optimistic spinning when the lock is contended. It also includes support for the recently added cancelable MCS locking for adaptive spinning. Note that is is only applicable to the xadd method, and the spinlock rwsem variant remains intact. Allowing optimistic spinning before putting the writer on the wait queue reduces wait queue contention and provided greater chance for the rwsem to get acquired. With these changes, rwsem is on par with mutex. The performance benefits can be seen on a number of workloads. For instance, on a 8 socket, 80 core 64bit Westmere box, aim7 shows the following improvements in throughput: +--------------+---------------------+-----------------+ | Workload | throughput-increase | number of users | +--------------+---------------------+-----------------+ | alltests | 20% | >1000 | | custom | 27%, 60% | 10-100, >1000 | | high_systime | 36%, 30% | >100, >1000 | | shared | 58%, 29% | 10-100, >1000 | +--------------+---------------------+-----------------+ There was also improvement on smaller systems, such as a quad-core x86-64 laptop running a 30Gb PostgreSQL (pgbench) workload for up to +60% in throughput for over 50 clients. Additionally, benefits were also noticed in exim (mail server) workloads. Furthermore, no performance regression have been seen at all.

rwsem: implement support for write lock stealing on the fastpath When we decide to wake up readers, we must first grant them as many read locks as necessary, and then actually wake up all these readers. But in order to know how many read shares to grant, we must first count the readers at the head of the queue. This might take a while if there are many readers, and we want to be protected against a writer stealing the lock while we're counting. To that end, we grant the first reader lock before counting how many more readers are queued. We also require some adjustments to the wake_type semantics. RWSEM_WAKE_NO_ACTIVE used to mean that we had found the count to be RWSEM_WAITING_BIAS, in which case the rwsem was known to be free as nobody could steal it while we hold the wait_lock. This doesn't make sense once we implement fastpath write lock stealing, so we now use RWSEM_WAKE_ANY in that case. Similarly, when rwsem_down_write_failed found that a read lock was active, it would use RWSEM_WAKE_READ_OWNED which signalled that new readers could be woken without checking first that the rwsem was available. We can't do that anymore since the existing readers might release their read locks, and a writer could steal the lock before we wake up additional readers. So, we have to use a new RWSEM_WAKE_READERS value to indicate we only want to wake readers, but we don't currently hold any read lock.

locking/rwsem: Enable lockless waiter wakeup(s) As wake_qs gain users, we can teach rwsems about them such that waiters can be awoken without the wait_lock. This is for both readers and writer, the former being the most ideal candidate as we can batch the wakeups shortening the critical region that much more -- ie writer task blocking a bunch of tasks waiting to service page-faults (mmap_sem readers). In general applying wake_qs to rwsem (xadd) is not difficult as the wait_lock is intended to be released soon _anyways_, with the exception of when a writer slowpath will proactively wakeup any queued readers if it sees that the lock is owned by a reader, in which we simply do the wakeups with the lock held (see comment in __rwsem_down_write_failed_common()). Similar to other locking primitives, delaying the waiter being awoken does allow, at least in theory, the lock to be stolen in the case of writers, however no harm was seen in this (in fact lock stealing tends to be a _good_ thing in most workloads), and this is a tiny window anyways.

rwsem: implement support for write lock stealing on the fastpath When we decide to wake up readers, we must first grant them as many read locks as necessary, and then actually wake up all these readers. But in order to know how many read shares to grant, we must first count the readers at the head of the queue. This might take a while if there are many readers, and we want to be protected against a writer stealing the lock while we're counting. To that end, we grant the first reader lock before counting how many more readers are queued. We also require some adjustments to the wake_type semantics. RWSEM_WAKE_NO_ACTIVE used to mean that we had found the count to be RWSEM_WAITING_BIAS, in which case the rwsem was known to be free as nobody could steal it while we hold the wait_lock. This doesn't make sense once we implement fastpath write lock stealing, so we now use RWSEM_WAKE_ANY in that case. Similarly, when rwsem_down_write_failed found that a read lock was active, it would use RWSEM_WAKE_READ_OWNED which signalled that new readers could be woken without checking first that the rwsem was available. We can't do that anymore since the existing readers might release their read locks, and a writer could steal the lock before we wake up additional readers. So, we have to use a new RWSEM_WAKE_READERS value to indicate we only want to wake readers, but we don't currently hold any read lock.

locking/rwsem: Add reader-owned state to the owner field Currently, it is not possible to determine for sure if a reader owns a rwsem by looking at the content of the rwsem data structure. This patch adds a new state RWSEM_READER_OWNED to the owner field to indicate that readers currently own the lock. This enables us to address the following 2 issues in the rwsem optimistic spinning code: 1) rwsem_can_spin_on_owner() will disallow optimistic spinning if the owner field is NULL which can mean either the readers own the lock or the owning writer hasn't set the owner field yet. In the latter case, we miss the chance to do optimistic spinning. 2) While a writer is waiting in the OSQ and a reader takes the lock, the writer will continue to spin when out of the OSQ in the main rwsem_optimistic_spin() loop as the owner field is NULL wasting CPU cycles if some of readers are sleeping. Adding the new state will allow optimistic spinning to go forward as long as the owner field is not RWSEM_READER_OWNED and the owner is running, if set, but stop immediately when that state has been reached. On a 4-socket Haswell machine running on a 4.6-rc1 based kernel, the fio test with multithreaded randrw and randwrite tests on the same file on a XFS partition on top of a NVDIMM were run, the aggregated bandwidths before and after the patch were as follows: Test BW before patch BW after patch % change ---- --------------- -------------- -------- randrw 988 MB/s 1192 MB/s +21% randwrite 1513 MB/s 1623 MB/s +7.3% The perf profile of the rwsem_down_write_failed() function in randrw before and after the patch were: 19.95% 5.88% fio [kernel.vmlinux] [k] rwsem_down_write_failed 14.20% 1.52% fio [kernel.vmlinux] [k] rwsem_down_write_failed The actual CPU cycles spend in rwsem_down_write_failed() dropped from 5.88% to 1.52% after the patch. The xfstests was also run and no regression was observed.

locking/rwsem: Rework zeroing reader waiter->task Readers that are awoken will expect a nil ->task indicating that a wakeup has occurred. Because of the way readers are implemented, there's a small chance that the waiter will never block in the slowpath (rwsem_down_read_failed), and therefore requires some form of reference counting to avoid the following scenario: rwsem_down_read_failed() rwsem_wake() get_task_struct(); spin_lock_irq(&wait_lock); list_add_tail(&waiter.list) spin_unlock_irq(&wait_lock); raw_spin_lock_irqsave(&wait_lock) __rwsem_do_wake() while (1) { set_task_state(TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE); waiter->task = NULL if (!waiter.task) // true break; schedule() // never reached __set_task_state(TASK_RUNNING); do_exit(); wake_up_process(tsk); // boom ... and therefore race with do_exit() when the caller returns. There is also a mismatch between the smp_mb() and its documentation, in that the serialization is done between reading the task and the nil store. Furthermore, in addition to having the overlapping of loads and stores to waiter->task guaranteed to be ordered within that CPU, both wake_up_process() originally and now wake_q_add() already imply barriers upon successful calls, which serves the comment. Now, as an alternative to perhaps inverting the checks in the blocker side (which has its own penalty in that schedule is unavoidable), with lockless wakeups this situation is naturally addressed and we can just use the refcount held by wake_q_add(), instead doing so explicitly. Of course, we must guarantee that the nil store is done as the _last_ operation in that the task must already be marked for deletion to not fall into the race above. Spurious wakeups are also handled transparently in that the task's reference is only removed when wake_up_q() is actually called _after_ the nil store.

rwsem: Implement writer lock-stealing for better scalability Commit 5a505085f043 ("mm/rmap: Convert the struct anon_vma::mutex to an rwsem") changed struct anon_vma::mutex to an rwsem, which caused aim7 fork_test performance to drop by 50%. Yuanhan Liu did the following excellent analysis: https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/1/29/84 and found that the regression is caused by strict, serialized, FIFO sequential write-ownership of rwsems. Ingo suggested implementing opportunistic lock-stealing for the front writer task in the waitqueue. Yuanhan Liu implemented lock-stealing for spinlock-rwsems, which indeed recovered much of the regression - confirming the analysis that the main factor in the regression was the FIFO writer-fairness of rwsems. In this patch we allow lock-stealing to happen when the first waiter is also writer. With that change in place the aim7 fork_test performance is fully recovered on my Intel NHM EP, NHM EX, SNB EP 2S and 4S test-machines.

/*
locking/rwsem: Support optimistic spinning We have reached the point where our mutexes are quite fine tuned for a number of situations. This includes the use of heuristics and optimistic spinning, based on MCS locking techniques. Exclusive ownership of read-write semaphores are, conceptually, just about the same as mutexes, making them close cousins. To this end we need to make them both perform similarly, and right now, rwsems are simply not up to it. This was discovered by both reverting commit 4fc3f1d6 (mm/rmap, migration: Make rmap_walk_anon() and try_to_unmap_anon() more scalable) and similarly, converting some other mutexes (ie: i_mmap_mutex) to rwsems. This creates a situation where users have to choose between a rwsem and mutex taking into account this important performance difference. Specifically, biggest difference between both locks is when we fail to acquire a mutex in the fastpath, optimistic spinning comes in to play and we can avoid a large amount of unnecessary sleeping and overhead of moving tasks in and out of wait queue. Rwsems do not have such logic. This patch, based on the work from Tim Chen and I, adds support for write-side optimistic spinning when the lock is contended. It also includes support for the recently added cancelable MCS locking for adaptive spinning. Note that is is only applicable to the xadd method, and the spinlock rwsem variant remains intact. Allowing optimistic spinning before putting the writer on the wait queue reduces wait queue contention and provided greater chance for the rwsem to get acquired. With these changes, rwsem is on par with mutex. The performance benefits can be seen on a number of workloads. For instance, on a 8 socket, 80 core 64bit Westmere box, aim7 shows the following improvements in throughput: +--------------+---------------------+-----------------+ | Workload | throughput-increase | number of users | +--------------+---------------------+-----------------+ | alltests | 20% | >1000 | | custom | 27%, 60% | 10-100, >1000 | | high_systime | 36%, 30% | >100, >1000 | | shared | 58%, 29% | 10-100, >1000 | +--------------+---------------------+-----------------+ There was also improvement on smaller systems, such as a quad-core x86-64 laptop running a 30Gb PostgreSQL (pgbench) workload for up to +60% in throughput for over 50 clients. Additionally, benefits were also noticed in exim (mail server) workloads. Furthermore, no performance regression have been seen at all.

locking/rwsem: Scan the wait_list for readers only once When wanting to wakeup readers, __rwsem_mark_wakeup() currently iterates the wait_list twice while looking to wakeup the first N queued reader-tasks. While this can be quite inefficient, it was there such that a awoken reader would be first and foremost acknowledged by the lock counter. Keeping the same logic, we can further benefit from the use of wake_qs and avoid entirely the first wait_list iteration that sets the counter as wake_up_process() isn't going to occur right away, and therefore we maintain the counter->list order of going about things. Other than saving cycles with O(n) "scanning", this change also nicely cleans up a good chunk of __rwsem_mark_wakeup(); both visually and less tedious to read.

locking/rwsem: Enable lockless waiter wakeup(s) As wake_qs gain users, we can teach rwsems about them such that waiters can be awoken without the wait_lock. This is for both readers and writer, the former being the most ideal candidate as we can batch the wakeups shortening the critical region that much more -- ie writer task blocking a bunch of tasks waiting to service page-faults (mmap_sem readers). In general applying wake_qs to rwsem (xadd) is not difficult as the wait_lock is intended to be released soon _anyways_, with the exception of when a writer slowpath will proactively wakeup any queued readers if it sees that the lock is owned by a reader, in which we simply do the wakeups with the lock held (see comment in __rwsem_down_write_failed_common()). Similar to other locking primitives, delaying the waiter being awoken does allow, at least in theory, the lock to be stolen in the case of writers, however no harm was seen in this (in fact lock stealing tends to be a _good_ thing in most workloads), and this is a tiny window anyways. Some page-fault (pft) and mmap_sem intensive benchmarks show some pretty constant reduction in systime (by up to ~8 and ~10%) on a 2-socket, 12 core AMD box.

locking/rwsem: Allow conservative optimistic spinning when readers have lock Commit 4fc828e24cd9 ("locking/rwsem: Support optimistic spinning") introduced a major performance regression for workloads such as xfs_repair which mix read and write locking of the mmap_sem across many threads. The result was xfs_repair ran 5x slower on 3.16-rc2 than on 3.15 and using 20x more system CPU time. Perf profiles indicate in some workloads that significant time can be spent spinning on !owner. This is because we don't set the lock owner when readers(s) obtain the rwsem. In this patch, we'll modify rwsem_can_spin_on_owner() such that we'll return false if there is no lock owner. The rationale is that if we just entered the slowpath, yet there is no lock owner, then there is a possibility that a reader has the lock. To be conservative, we'll avoid spinning in these situations. This patch reduced the total run time of the xfs_repair workload from about 4 minutes 24 seconds down to approximately 1 minute 26 seconds, back to close to the same performance as on 3.15. Retesting of AIM7, which were some of the workloads used to test the original optimistic spinning code, confirmed that we still get big performance gains with optimistic spinning, even with this additional regression fix. Davidlohr found that while the 'custom' workload took a performance hit of ~-14% to throughput for >300 users with this additional patch, the overall gain with optimistic spinning is still ~+45%. The 'disk' workload even improved by ~+15% at >1000 users.

locking/rwsem: Add reader-owned state to the owner field Currently, it is not possible to determine for sure if a reader owns a rwsem by looking at the content of the rwsem data structure. This patch adds a new state RWSEM_READER_OWNED to the owner field to indicate that readers currently own the lock. This enables us to address the following 2 issues in the rwsem optimistic spinning code: 1) rwsem_can_spin_on_owner() will disallow optimistic spinning if the owner field is NULL which can mean either the readers own the lock or the owning writer hasn't set the owner field yet. In the latter case, we miss the chance to do optimistic spinning. 2) While a writer is waiting in the OSQ and a reader takes the lock, the writer will continue to spin when out of the OSQ in the main rwsem_optimistic_spin() loop as the owner field is NULL wasting CPU cycles if some of readers are sleeping. Adding the new state will allow optimistic spinning to go forward as long as the owner field is not RWSEM_READER_OWNED and the owner is running, if set, but stop immediately when that state has been reached. On a 4-socket Haswell machine running on a 4.6-rc1 based kernel, the fio test with multithreaded randrw and randwrite tests on the same file on a XFS partition on top of a NVDIMM were run, the aggregated bandwidths before and after the patch were as follows: Test BW before patch BW after patch % change ---- --------------- -------------- -------- randrw 988 MB/s 1192 MB/s +21% randwrite 1513 MB/s 1623 MB/s +7.3% The perf profile of the rwsem_down_write_failed() function in randrw before and after the patch were: 19.95% 5.88% fio [kernel.vmlinux] [k] rwsem_down_write_failed 14.20% 1.52% fio [kernel.vmlinux] [k] rwsem_down_write_failed The actual CPU cycles spend in rwsem_down_write_failed() dropped from 5.88% to 1.52% after the patch.

locking/rwsem: Support optimistic spinning We have reached the point where our mutexes are quite fine tuned for a number of situations. This includes the use of heuristics and optimistic spinning, based on MCS locking techniques. Exclusive ownership of read-write semaphores are, conceptually, just about the same as mutexes, making them close cousins. To this end we need to make them both perform similarly, and right now, rwsems are simply not up to it. This was discovered by both reverting commit 4fc3f1d6 (mm/rmap, migration: Make rmap_walk_anon() and try_to_unmap_anon() more scalable) and similarly, converting some other mutexes (ie: i_mmap_mutex) to rwsems. This creates a situation where users have to choose between a rwsem and mutex taking into account this important performance difference. Specifically, biggest difference between both locks is when we fail to acquire a mutex in the fastpath, optimistic spinning comes in to play and we can avoid a large amount of unnecessary sleeping and overhead of moving tasks in and out of wait queue. Rwsems do not have such logic. This patch, based on the work from Tim Chen and I, adds support for write-side optimistic spinning when the lock is contended. It also includes support for the recently added cancelable MCS locking for adaptive spinning. Note that is is only applicable to the xadd method, and the spinlock rwsem variant remains intact. Allowing optimistic spinning before putting the writer on the wait queue reduces wait queue contention and provided greater chance for the rwsem to get acquired. With these changes, rwsem is on par with mutex. The performance benefits can be seen on a number of workloads. For instance, on a 8 socket, 80 core 64bit Westmere box, aim7 shows the following improvements in throughput: +--------------+---------------------+-----------------+ | Workload | throughput-increase | number of users | +--------------+---------------------+-----------------+ | alltests | 20% | >1000 | | custom | 27%, 60% | 10-100, >1000 | | high_systime | 36%, 30% | >100, >1000 | | shared | 58%, 29% | 10-100, >1000 | +--------------+---------------------+-----------------+ There was also improvement on smaller systems, such as a quad-core x86-64 laptop running a 30Gb PostgreSQL (pgbench) workload for up to +60% in throughput for over 50 clients.

locking/rwsem: Fix lock optimistic spinning when owner is not running Ming reported soft lockups occurring when running xfstest due to the following tip:locking/core commit: b3fd4f03ca0b ("locking/rwsem: Avoid deceiving lock spinners") When doing optimistic spinning in rwsem, threads should stop spinning when the lock owner is not running. While a thread is spinning on owner, if the owner reschedules, owner->on_cpu returns false and we stop spinning. However, this commit essentially caused the check to get ignored because when we break out of the spin loop due to !on_cpu, we continue spinning if sem->owner != NULL. This patch fixes this by making sure we stop spinning if the owner is not running. Furthermore, just like with mutexes, refactor the code such that we don't have separate checks for owner_running(). This makes it more straightforward in terms of why we exit the spin on owner loop and we would also avoid needing to "guess" why we broke out of the loop to make this more readable.

locking/rwsem: Support optimistic spinning We have reached the point where our mutexes are quite fine tuned for a number of situations. This includes the use of heuristics and optimistic spinning, based on MCS locking techniques. Exclusive ownership of read-write semaphores are, conceptually, just about the same as mutexes, making them close cousins. To this end we need to make them both perform similarly, and right now, rwsems are simply not up to it. This was discovered by both reverting commit 4fc3f1d6 (mm/rmap, migration: Make rmap_walk_anon() and try_to_unmap_anon() more scalable) and similarly, converting some other mutexes (ie: i_mmap_mutex) to rwsems. This creates a situation where users have to choose between a rwsem and mutex taking into account this important performance difference. Specifically, biggest difference between both locks is when we fail to acquire a mutex in the fastpath, optimistic spinning comes in to play and we can avoid a large amount of unnecessary sleeping and overhead of moving tasks in and out of wait queue. Rwsems do not have such logic. This patch, based on the work from Tim Chen and I, adds support for write-side optimistic spinning when the lock is contended. It also includes support for the recently added cancelable MCS locking for adaptive spinning. Note that is is only applicable to the xadd method, and the spinlock rwsem variant remains intact. Allowing optimistic spinning before putting the writer on the wait queue reduces wait queue contention and provided greater chance for the rwsem to get acquired. With these changes, rwsem is on par with mutex. The performance benefits can be seen on a number of workloads. For instance, on a 8 socket, 80 core 64bit Westmere box, aim7 shows the following improvements in throughput: +--------------+---------------------+-----------------+ | Workload | throughput-increase | number of users | +--------------+---------------------+-----------------+ | alltests | 20% | >1000 | | custom | 27%, 60% | 10-100, >1000 | | high_systime | 36%, 30% | >100, >1000 | | shared | 58%, 29% | 10-100, >1000 | +--------------+---------------------+-----------------+ There was also improvement on smaller systems, such as a quad-core x86-64 laptop running a 30Gb PostgreSQL (pgbench) workload for up to +60% in throughput for over 50 clients.

locking/rwsem: Add reader-owned state to the owner field Currently, it is not possible to determine for sure if a reader owns a rwsem by looking at the content of the rwsem data structure. This patch adds a new state RWSEM_READER_OWNED to the owner field to indicate that readers currently own the lock. This enables us to address the following 2 issues in the rwsem optimistic spinning code: 1) rwsem_can_spin_on_owner() will disallow optimistic spinning if the owner field is NULL which can mean either the readers own the lock or the owning writer hasn't set the owner field yet.

Adding the new state will allow optimistic spinning to go forward as long as the owner field is not RWSEM_READER_OWNED and the owner is running, if set, but stop immediately when that state has been reached.

This was discovered by both reverting commit 4fc3f1d6 (mm/rmap, migration: Make rmap_walk_anon() and try_to_unmap_anon() more scalable) and similarly, converting some other mutexes (ie: i_mmap_mutex) to rwsems. This creates a situation where users have to choose between a rwsem and mutex taking into account this important performance difference. Specifically, biggest difference between both locks is when we fail to acquire a mutex in the fastpath, optimistic spinning comes in to play and we can avoid a large amount of unnecessary sleeping and overhead of moving tasks in and out of wait queue. Rwsems do not have such logic. This patch, based on the work from Tim Chen and I, adds support for write-side optimistic spinning when the lock is contended. It also includes support for the recently added cancelable MCS locking for adaptive spinning. Note that is is only applicable to the xadd method, and the spinlock rwsem variant remains intact. Allowing optimistic spinning before putting the writer on the wait queue reduces wait queue contention and provided greater chance for the rwsem to get acquired. With these changes, rwsem is on par with mutex. The performance benefits can be seen on a number of workloads. For instance, on a 8 socket, 80 core 64bit Westmere box, aim7 shows the following improvements in throughput: +--------------+---------------------+-----------------+ | Workload | throughput-increase | number of users | +--------------+---------------------+-----------------+ | alltests | 20% | >1000 | | custom | 27%, 60% | 10-100, >1000 | | high_systime | 36%, 30% | >100, >1000 | | shared | 58%, 29% | 10-100, >1000 | +--------------+---------------------+-----------------+ There was also improvement on smaller systems, such as a quad-core x86-64 laptop running a 30Gb PostgreSQL (pgbench) workload for up to +60% in throughput for over 50 clients. Additionally, benefits were also noticed in exim (mail server) workloads. Furthermore, no performance regression have been seen at all.

locking/rwsem: Add reader-owned state to the owner field Currently, it is not possible to determine for sure if a reader owns a rwsem by looking at the content of the rwsem data structure. This patch adds a new state RWSEM_READER_OWNED to the owner field to indicate that readers currently own the lock. This enables us to address the following 2 issues in the rwsem optimistic spinning code: 1) rwsem_can_spin_on_owner() will disallow optimistic spinning if the owner field is NULL which can mean either the readers own the lock or the owning writer hasn't set the owner field yet. In the latter case, we miss the chance to do optimistic spinning. 2) While a writer is waiting in the OSQ and a reader takes the lock, the writer will continue to spin when out of the OSQ in the main rwsem_optimistic_spin() loop as the owner field is NULL wasting CPU cycles if some of readers are sleeping. Adding the new state will allow optimistic spinning to go forward as long as the owner field is not RWSEM_READER_OWNED and the owner is running, if set, but stop immediately when that state has been reached.

locking/rwsem: Support optimistic spinning We have reached the point where our mutexes are quite fine tuned for a number of situations. This includes the use of heuristics and optimistic spinning, based on MCS locking techniques. Exclusive ownership of read-write semaphores are, conceptually, just about the same as mutexes, making them close cousins. To this end we need to make them both perform similarly, and right now, rwsems are simply not up to it. This was discovered by both reverting commit 4fc3f1d6 (mm/rmap, migration: Make rmap_walk_anon() and try_to_unmap_anon() more scalable) and similarly, converting some other mutexes (ie: i_mmap_mutex) to rwsems. This creates a situation where users have to choose between a rwsem and mutex taking into account this important performance difference. Specifically, biggest difference between both locks is when we fail to acquire a mutex in the fastpath, optimistic spinning comes in to play and we can avoid a large amount of unnecessary sleeping and overhead of moving tasks in and out of wait queue. Rwsems do not have such logic. This patch, based on the work from Tim Chen and I, adds support for write-side optimistic spinning when the lock is contended. It also includes support for the recently added cancelable MCS locking for adaptive spinning. Note that is is only applicable to the xadd method, and the spinlock rwsem variant remains intact. Allowing optimistic spinning before putting the writer on the wait queue reduces wait queue contention and provided greater chance for the rwsem to get acquired. With these changes, rwsem is on par with mutex. The performance benefits can be seen on a number of workloads. For instance, on a 8 socket, 80 core 64bit Westmere box, aim7 shows the following improvements in throughput: +--------------+---------------------+-----------------+ | Workload | throughput-increase | number of users | +--------------+---------------------+-----------------+ | alltests | 20% | >1000 | | custom | 27%, 60% | 10-100, >1000 | | high_systime | 36%, 30% | >100, >1000 | | shared | 58%, 29% | 10-100, >1000 | +--------------+---------------------+-----------------+ There was also improvement on smaller systems, such as a quad-core x86-64 laptop running a 30Gb PostgreSQL (pgbench) workload for up to +60% in throughput for over 50 clients. Additionally, benefits were also noticed in exim (mail server) workloads. Furthermore, no performance regression have been seen at all.

This patch doesn't provide down_write_killable() yet because arches have to provide the necessary pieces before. rwsem_down_write_failed() which is a generic slow path for the write lock is extended to take a task state and renamed to __rwsem_down_write_failed_common(). The return value is either a valid semaphore pointer or ERR_PTR(-EINTR). rwsem_down_write_failed_killable() is exported as a new way to wait for the lock and be killable. For rwsem-spinlock implementation the current __down_write() it updated in a similar way as __rwsem_down_write_failed_common() except it doesn't need new exports just visible __down_write_killable(). Architectures which are not using the generic rwsem implementation are supposed to provide their __down_write_killable() implementation and use rwsem_down_write_failed_killable() for the slow path.

locking/rwsem: Enable lockless waiter wakeup(s) As wake_qs gain users, we can teach rwsems about them such that waiters can be awoken without the wait_lock.

In general applying wake_qs to rwsem (xadd) is not difficult as the wait_lock is intended to be released soon _anyways_, with the exception of when a writer slowpath will proactively wakeup any queued readers if it sees that the lock is owned by a reader, in which we simply do the wakeups with the lock held (see comment in __rwsem_down_write_failed_common()). Similar to other locking primitives, delaying the waiter being awoken does allow, at least in theory, the lock to be stolen in the case of writers, however no harm was seen in this (in fact lock stealing tends to be a _good_ thing in most workloads), and this is a tiny window anyways.

locking/rwsem: Support optimistic spinning We have reached the point where our mutexes are quite fine tuned for a number of situations. This includes the use of heuristics and optimistic spinning, based on MCS locking techniques. Exclusive ownership of read-write semaphores are, conceptually, just about the same as mutexes, making them close cousins. To this end we need to make them both perform similarly, and right now, rwsems are simply not up to it. This was discovered by both reverting commit 4fc3f1d6 (mm/rmap, migration: Make rmap_walk_anon() and try_to_unmap_anon() more scalable) and similarly, converting some other mutexes (ie: i_mmap_mutex) to rwsems. This creates a situation where users have to choose between a rwsem and mutex taking into account this important performance difference. Specifically, biggest difference between both locks is when we fail to acquire a mutex in the fastpath, optimistic spinning comes in to play and we can avoid a large amount of unnecessary sleeping and overhead of moving tasks in and out of wait queue. Rwsems do not have such logic. This patch, based on the work from Tim Chen and I, adds support for write-side optimistic spinning when the lock is contended. It also includes support for the recently added cancelable MCS locking for adaptive spinning. Note that is is only applicable to the xadd method, and the spinlock rwsem variant remains intact. Allowing optimistic spinning before putting the writer on the wait queue reduces wait queue contention and provided greater chance for the rwsem to get acquired. With these changes, rwsem is on par with mutex. The performance benefits can be seen on a number of workloads. For instance, on a 8 socket, 80 core 64bit Westmere box, aim7 shows the following improvements in throughput: +--------------+---------------------+-----------------+ | Workload | throughput-increase | number of users | +--------------+---------------------+-----------------+ | alltests | 20% | >1000 | | custom | 27%, 60% | 10-100, >1000 | | high_systime | 36%, 30% | >100, >1000 | | shared | 58%, 29% | 10-100, >1000 | +--------------+---------------------+-----------------+ There was also improvement on smaller systems, such as a quad-core x86-64 laptop running a 30Gb PostgreSQL (pgbench) workload for up to +60% in throughput for over 50 clients. Additionally, benefits were also noticed in exim (mail server) workloads. Furthermore, no performance regression have been seen at all.

locking/rwsem: Introduce basis for down_write_killable() Introduce a generic implementation necessary for down_write_killable(). This is a trivial extension of the already existing down_write() call which can be interrupted by SIGKILL. This patch doesn't provide down_write_killable() yet because arches have to provide the necessary pieces before. rwsem_down_write_failed() which is a generic slow path for the write lock is extended to take a task state and renamed to __rwsem_down_write_failed_common(). The return value is either a valid semaphore pointer or ERR_PTR(-EINTR). rwsem_down_write_failed_killable() is exported as a new way to wait for the lock and be killable. For rwsem-spinlock implementation the current __down_write() it updated in a similar way as __rwsem_down_write_failed_common() except it doesn't need new exports just visible __down_write_killable(). Architectures which are not using the generic rwsem implementation are supposed to provide their __down_write_killable() implementation and use rwsem_down_write_failed_killable() for the slow path.

Exclusive ownership of read-write semaphores are, conceptually, just about the same as mutexes, making them close cousins. To this end we need to make them both perform similarly, and right now, rwsems are simply not up to it. This was discovered by both reverting commit 4fc3f1d6 (mm/rmap, migration: Make rmap_walk_anon() and try_to_unmap_anon() more scalable) and similarly, converting some other mutexes (ie: i_mmap_mutex) to rwsems. This creates a situation where users have to choose between a rwsem and mutex taking into account this important performance difference. Specifically, biggest difference between both locks is when we fail to acquire a mutex in the fastpath, optimistic spinning comes in to play and we can avoid a large amount of unnecessary sleeping and overhead of moving tasks in and out of wait queue. Rwsems do not have such logic. This patch, based on the work from Tim Chen and I, adds support for write-side optimistic spinning when the lock is contended. It also includes support for the recently added cancelable MCS locking for adaptive spinning. Note that is is only applicable to the xadd method, and the spinlock rwsem variant remains intact. Allowing optimistic spinning before putting the writer on the wait queue reduces wait queue contention and provided greater chance for the rwsem to get acquired. With these changes, rwsem is on par with mutex. The performance benefits can be seen on a number of workloads. For instance, on a 8 socket, 80 core 64bit Westmere box, aim7 shows the following improvements in throughput: +--------------+---------------------+-----------------+ | Workload | throughput-increase | number of users | +--------------+---------------------+-----------------+ | alltests | 20% | >1000 | | custom | 27%, 60% | 10-100, >1000 | | high_systime | 36%, 30% | >100, >1000 | | shared | 58%, 29% | 10-100, >1000 | +--------------+---------------------+-----------------+ There was also improvement on smaller systems, such as a quad-core x86-64 laptop running a 30Gb PostgreSQL (pgbench) workload for up to +60% in throughput for over 50 clients. Additionally, benefits were also noticed in exim (mail server) workloads. Furthermore, no performance regression have been seen at all.

locking/rwsem: Introduce basis for down_write_killable() Introduce a generic implementation necessary for down_write_killable(). This is a trivial extension of the already existing down_write() call which can be interrupted by SIGKILL. This patch doesn't provide down_write_killable() yet because arches have to provide the necessary pieces before. rwsem_down_write_failed() which is a generic slow path for the write lock is extended to take a task state and renamed to __rwsem_down_write_failed_common(). The return value is either a valid semaphore pointer or ERR_PTR(-EINTR). rwsem_down_write_failed_killable() is exported as a new way to wait for the lock and be killable. For rwsem-spinlock implementation the current __down_write() it updated in a similar way as __rwsem_down_write_failed_common() except it doesn't need new exports just visible __down_write_killable(). Architectures which are not using the generic rwsem implementation are supposed to provide their __down_write_killable() implementation and use rwsem_down_write_failed_killable() for the slow path.

For a heavily contended rwsem, doing a spin_lock() on wait_lock will cause further contention on the heavily contended rwsem cacheline resulting in delay in the completion of the up_read/up_write operations. This patch makes the wait_lock taking and the call to __rwsem_do_wake() optional if at least one spinning writer is present. The spinning writer will be able to take the rwsem and call rwsem_wake() later when it calls up_write(). With the presence of a spinning writer, rwsem_wake() will now try to acquire the lock using trylock. If that fails, it will just quit.

locking/rwsem: Enable lockless waiter wakeup(s) As wake_qs gain users, we can teach rwsems about them such that waiters can be awoken without the wait_lock. This is for both readers and writer, the former being the most ideal candidate as we can batch the wakeups shortening the critical region that much more -- ie writer task blocking a bunch of tasks waiting to service page-faults (mmap_sem readers). In general applying wake_qs to rwsem (xadd) is not difficult as the wait_lock is intended to be released soon _anyways_, with the exception of when a writer slowpath will proactively wakeup any queued readers if it sees that the lock is owned by a reader, in which we simply do the wakeups with the lock held (see comment in __rwsem_down_write_failed_common()). Similar to other locking primitives, delaying the waiter being awoken does allow, at least in theory, the lock to be stolen in the case of writers, however no harm was seen in this (in fact lock stealing tends to be a _good_ thing in most workloads), and this is a tiny window anyways.
