sched/completion: Add lock-free checking of the blocking case The "thread would block" case can be checked without grabbing ->wait.lock. [ If the check does not return early then grab the lock and recheck. A memory barrier is not needed as complete() and complete_all() imply a barrier. The ACCESS_ONCE() is needed for calls in a loop that, if inlined, could optimize out the re-fetching of x->done. ] Signed-off-by: Nicholas Mc Guire <der.h...@hofr.at> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <pet...@infradead.org> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torva...@linux-foundation.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1422013307-13200-1-git-send-email-der.h...@hofr.at Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mi...@kernel.org> --- kernel/sched/completion.c | 9 +++++++++ 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+) diff --git a/kernel/sched/completion.c b/kernel/sched/completion.c index 9d1fe32d..7052d3f 100644 --- a/kernel/sched/completion.c +++ b/kernel/sched/completion.c @@ -268,6 +268,15 @@ bool try_wait_for_completion(struct completion *x) unsigned long flags; int ret = 1; + /* + * Since x->done will need to be locked only + * in the non-blocking case, we check x->done + * first without taking the lock so we can + * return early in the blocking case. + */ + if (!ACCESS_ONCE(x->done)) + return 0; + spin_lock_irqsave(&x->wait.lock, flags); if (!x->done) ret = 0; -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
