Subject: [PATCH] mm: kmemleak: Turn kmemleak_lock to spin lock and RCU primitives
From: He Zhe <zhe.he@...driver.com>
It's not necessary to keep consistency between readers and writers of
kmemleak_lock. RCU is more proper for this case. And in order to gain better
performance, we turn the reader locks to RCU read locks and writer locks to
normal spin locks.
"time echo scan > /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak" is improved from around 1.010s to
0.475s, without lock debug options, tested on Intel Corporation Broadwell Client
platform/Basking Ridge.
spin_lock_nested is replaced with irqsave version since the original outside
irqsave lock is gone. Otherwise we might have the following potential deadlock,
reported by lockdep.
WARNING: HARDIRQ-safe -> HARDIRQ-unsafe lock order detected
4.20.0-standard #1 Not tainted
-----------------------------------------------------
kmemleak/163 [HC0[0]:SC0[0]:HE0:SE1] is trying to acquire:
000000008d7de78e (&(&object->lock)->rlock/1){+.+.}, at: scan_block+0xc4/0x1e0
and this task is already holding:
000000009178399c (&(&object->lock)->rlock){..-.}, at: scan_gray_list+0xec/0x180
which would create a new lock dependency:
(&(&object->lock)->rlock){..-.} -> (&(&object->lock)->rlock/1){+.+.}
but this new dependency connects a HARDIRQ-irq-safe lock:
(&(&ehci->lock)->rlock){-.-.}
