Subject: [PATCH 2/2] locking/lockdep: Make global debug_locks* variables read-mostly
Date: Thu, 18 Oct 2018 21:45:18 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1539913518-15598-2-git-send-email-longman@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1539913518-15598-1-git-send-email-longman@redhat.com>

Make the frequently used lockdep global variable debug_locks read-mostly.
As debug_locks_silent is sometime used together with debug_locks,
it is also made read-mostly so that they can be close together.

With false cacheline sharing, cacheline contention problem can happen
depending on what get put into the same cacheline as debug_locks.
