Subject: [rfc][patch] x86-64 new smp_call_function design
Hi,
This isn't finished yet, however I'd just like to ask for comments.
Design a new smp_call_function calling convention. This significantly
improves scalability of smp_call_function_single, and slightly improves
scalability and performance of smp_call_function; especially in the
cases where wait=0.
The non-wait case allocates function call data dynamically, so the
caller is able to return before all other CPUs have copied out the data
into their stack as is the case today.
The call_function_single case goes through a new vector, and uses
percpu queues and locks.
On a 2 socket, 8 core system, I see anywhere up to nearly 16x better
performance on a stress test. The common cases of call-all, and wait
are improved the least, however I think that if call-single and nowait
are turned into a high performance API, then new usages will pop up
(eg. I started this because I wanted to do "call single, nowait" calls
for migrating block IO completions back to submitting CPU; however I
am also interested in improving the "call all, wait" case for example
to improve vmalloc tlb flushing).

Now one problem with my smp_call_function_mask design is that it uses RCU
(which isn't nice to use some major infrastructure to implement low level basic
functionality), and it is complex (and the fallback -ENOMEM case isn't quite
right either). What I can do is make another special case for "call all",
which should be probably even faster than this and doesn't use RCU, and then
have all other variations of masks just go through a slower and simpler
path that doesn't use RCU.
As far as I understand, calling a subset of online CPUs that is not all or
one, is used quite infrequently, so this might be OK.
Anyway, I think we'd want most architectures to implement the more
scalable scheme. Perhaps it can be put into generic code, and have the
arch just provide some functions for low level IPI generation and handling?
