If the to-be-handoff'ed writer goes to sleep, there will be a wakeup latency period where the lock is free, but no one can acquire it. That is less than ideal. To reduce that latency, the handoff writer will now optimistically spin on the owner if it happens to be a on-cpu writer. It will spin until it releases the lock and the to-be-handoff'ed writer can then acquire the lock immediately without any delay. Of course, if the owner is not a on-cpu writer, the to-be-handoff'ed writer will have to sleep anyway. The optimistic spinning code is also modified to not stop spinning when the handoff bit is set. This will prevent an occasional setting of handoff bit from causing a bunch of optimistic spinners from entering into the wait queue causing significant reduction in throughput. On a 1-socket 22-core 44-thread Skylake system, the AIM7 shared_memory workload was run with 7000 users. The throughput (jobs/min) of the following kernels were as follows: 1) 5.2-rc6 - 8,092,486 2) 5.2-rc6 + tip's rwsem patches - 7,567,568 3) 5.2-rc6 + tip's rwsem patches + this patch - 7,954,545 Using perf-record(1), the %cpu time used by rwsem_down_write_slowpath(), rwsem_down_write_failed() and their callees for the 3 kernels were 1.70%, 5.46% and 2.08% respectively.
