ipc/msg: implement lockless pipelined wakeups This patch moves the wakeup_process() invocation so it is not done under the ipc global lock by making use of a lockless wake_q. With this change, the waiter is woken up once the message has been assigned and it does not need to loop on SMP if the message points to NULL. In the signal case we still need to check the pointer under the lock to verify the state. This change should also avoid the introduction of preempt_disable() in -RT which avoids a busy-loop which pools for the NULL -> !NULL change if the waiter has a higher priority compared to the waker. By making use of wake_qs, the logic of sysv msg queues is greatly simplified (and very well suited as we can batch lockless wakeups), particularly around the lockless receive algorithm. This has been tested with Manred's pmsg-shared tool on a "AMD A10-7800 Radeon R7, 12 Compute Cores 4C+8G": test | before | after | diff -----------------|------------|------------|---------- pmsg-shared 8 60 | 19,347,422 | 30,442,191 | + ~57.34 % pmsg-shared 4 60 | 21,367,197 | 35,743,458 | + ~67.28 % pmsg-shared 2 60 | 22,884,224 | 24,278,200 | + ~6.09 % Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1469748819-19484-2-git-send-email-dave@stgolabs.net Signed-off-by: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Davidlohr Bueso <dbueso@suse.de> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Manfred Spraul <manfred@colorfullife.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
