Subject: [RFC PATCH 79/86] treewide: net: remove cond_resched()
There are broadly three sets of uses of cond_resched():
1. Calls to cond_resched() out of the goodness of our heart,
otherwise known as avoiding lockup splats.
2. Open coded variants of cond_resched_lock() which call
cond_resched().
3. Retry or error handling loops, where cond_resched() is used as a
quick alternative to spinning in a tight-loop.
When running under a full preemption model, the cond_resched() reduces
to a NOP (not even a barrier) so removing it obviously cannot matter.
But considering only voluntary preemption models (for say code that
has been mostly tested under those), for set-1 and set-2 the
scheduler can now preempt kernel tasks running beyond their time
quanta anywhere they are preemptible() [1]. Which removes any need
for these explicitly placed scheduling points.
The cond_resched() calls in set-3 are a little more difficult.
To start with, given it's NOP character under full preemption, it
never actually saved us from a tight loop.
With voluntary preemption, it's not a NOP, but it might as well be --
for most workloads the scheduler does not have an interminable supply
of runnable tasks on the runqueue.
So, cond_resched() is useful to not get softlockup splats, but not
terribly good for error handling. Ideally, these should be replaced
with some kind of timed or event wait.
For now we use cond_resched_stall(), which tries to schedule if
possible, and executes a cpu_relax() if not.
Most of the uses here are in set-1 (some right after we give up a
lock or enable bottom-halves, causing an explicit preemption check.)
We can remove all of them.
