Subject: [PATCH RESEND] x86/split_lock: Make split lock mitigation sleep duration configurable
Date: Tue, 28 Oct 2025 17:43:33 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251028094333.49841-1-wangfushuai@baidu.com> (raw)
Commit 727209376f49 ("x86/split_lock: Add sysctl to control the misery
mode") introduce a sysctl 'sysctl_sld_mitigate' to control the misery
mode for split lock detection (0 to disable, 1 to enable). However,
when enabled, the sleep duration for split lockers was fixed at 10 ms.
This patch extands 'sysctl_sld_mitigate' to allow configuring the sleep
duration in milliseconds. Now, when 'sysctl_sld_mitigate' is set to
N (N > 0), split lockers will sleep for N milliseconds.
