Subject: [PATCH v5 0/2] Avoid synchronize_rcu() for every thread drop in Rust Binder
Date: Thu, 11 Jun 2026 09:28:59 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260611-upgrade-poll-v5-0-497a11c06828@google.com> (raw)
Right now Rust Binder calls synchronize_rcu() more often than is
necessary. Most processes do not use epoll at all, so they don't require
rcu here. Back in Kangrejos I came up with a way to avoid this. Idea is
to move the value that needs rcu to a separate allocation that's easy to
kfree_rcu(). We pay the allocation only when the proc uses epoll using
an "upgrade" strategy - most processes don't.

Changes in v5:
- Rebase on top of series converting node_refs to spinlock.
- Reword comment claiming node_refs is a mutex.
- Link to v4: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260523-upgrade-poll-v4-0-f5b4c747eac2@google.com
Changes in v4:
- Use SetOnce for PollCondVar variable instead of storing inside
spinlock. This avoids calling poll_wait() under the spinlock.
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260508-upgrade-poll-v3-0-0c619fe846e8@google.com
Changes in v3:
- This series was almost entirely rewritten to use a different
implementation strategy. By moving the PollCondVar to the process we
can avoid the upgrade logic entirely.
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260213-upgrade-poll-v2-0-984a0fb184fb@google.com
Changes in v2:
- Change how Rust Binder handles the lock class key.
- Rebase.
