Subject: [RFC v2 00/10] Replace mmap_sem by a range lock
Following the series pushed by Davidlohr Bueso based on the Jan Kara's
work [1] which introduces range locks, this series implements the
first step of the attempt to replace the mmap_sem by a range lock.
While this series simply replaces the mmap_sem by a full range lock,
the final goal is to introduce finer grain locking to allow better
multi-thread performance in regards to the process's memory layout
changes.
This series currently supports x86 and PowerPc architectures only.
Some drivers are also impacted to allow build and basic test on few
platforms but a lot of additional works is required to complete the
job for all the supported architectures.
The goal of this series is to check that no major performance hit
happens for mono threaded process, as we could hope major improvements
in the multi-threaded case once the finer grain locking is
implemented.
I didn't do massive performance checking yet, but building a full
kernel on a 80 threaded Power node, doesn't show performance hits. The
build time is 11m56.701s on a vanilla kernel and 12m4.679s when range
lock is used.
The next steps will attempt to implement finer grain locking but
specific locking would certainly be required to protect mm data like
the VMA cache.
If this series is conform to the community expectation, I'll extend
the other architectures, allowing the swith to a range lock to be
turned on easily. This series will be a nightmare to maintain so it
will be nice if it could merge as soon as possible.
This series applies on top of 4.12-rc2 with range lock series from
Davidlohr [1] applies on top.
The first 2 patches temporary disable some assert which were based on
lock service which are not provided by the range lock API. While some
of these checks will not be valid with range locks, most of them will
have to be reviewed later.
The next 5 patches add a new parameter to some memory service which
need to release the lock, since range lock require the range to
specify, caller has to know about it.
The last 2 patches are doing the job of replacing the mmap_sem by a
range lock, and introduce a new config variable to enable that
changes.
[1] "locking: Introduce range reader/writer lock"
https://lwn.net/Articles/722741/
Changes from v1 [https://lwn.net/Articles/720373/]:
- encapsulate change through #ifdef CONFIG_MEM_RANGE_LOCK
- introduce new mem range lock operations to move easily from a
semaphore to a range lock.
- split the leading patches adding the range parameters to some
services.
