[PATCH 6/6] ACPI/OSL: Fix performance issue in system memory lockings.

From: Lv Zheng
Date: Wed Oct 22 2014 - 22:12:48 EST


It is reported that the synchronize_rcu() used in the hot path is not
performance friendly:

<6>[ 122.810376] acpi_ut_delete_internal_obj: object deleted
<6>[ 122.816231] acpi_ns_detach_object: reference removed
Note: The "*" marked acpi_os_unmap_memory() instrumentation messages are
added by the reporter.

The patch converts RCU synchronization into the deferred executed work
queue item to eliminate the consumed time from the hot path. By doing so,
acpi_os_read_memory()/acpi_os_write_memory() need to hold the reference
count and the RCU locks will then be unnecessary. The original
acpi_ioremap_lock (renamed to acpi_map_lock) must be converted into
spinlock to be used for both the IRQ and the task contexts.
But it is still needed that the map operations are serialized because the
spinlock cannot be held around ioremap(), so that the parallel map
operations can wait for each other instead of inserting duplicated entries
into the acpi_ioremaps. This is achieved by introducing another
acpi_serial_map_mutex. Note that the unmap serialization is not required
due to the reference count protected list removal, thus
acpi_os_unmap_iomem() and acpi_map_relinquish() are not protected by the
acpi_serial_map_mutex.
The test feedback from the reporter:
"The google reboot stability test passed with your 6 patches. Thanks for
the help."

Known issues:
1. It is better to use a seperate work queue other than the ACPICA
dedicated GPE work queue to perform mapping relinquishment. Until a real
case can be seen on bugzilla.kernel.org complaining this, no further
improvements are done in this patch.
