Convert x86 to use a per-cpu rcu_preempt_depth. The reason for doing so
is that accessing per-cpu variables is a lot cheaper than accessing
task_struct or thread_info variables.

We need to save/restore the actual rcu_preempt_depth when switch.
We also place the per-cpu rcu_preempt_depth close to __preempt_count
and current_task variable.

Using the idea of per-cpu __preempt_count.

No function call when using rcu_read_[un]lock().
Single instruction for rcu_read_lock().
2 instructions for fast path of rcu_read_unlock().

Wouldn't putting RCU's nesting-depth counter in task info be just as fast,
just as nice for #include/inlining, and a lot less per-architecture code?

Or am I missing some issue with the task-info approach?

struct thread_info itself is per-architecture definition.
All the arches would have to be touched if RCU's nesting-depth counter
is put int struct thread_info. Though the inlining functions can be
defined in include/asm-generic/ so that it serves for all arches
and X86 can have its own implementation in arch/x86/include/asm/.

True enough.

But doesn't the per-CPU code require per-architecture changes to copy
to and from the per-CPU variable? If that code simpler and smaller than
the thread_info access code, I will be -very- surprised.


The per-CPU code is not simpler. And my code touch X86 ONLY so that
it requires an additional CONFIG and some more "#if" in rcu code
which adds little more complicity.

As far as I understand, the rcu_read_lock_nesting can only be possible
put in per CPU in X86, not possible in other ARCHs.

Putting the rcu_read_lock_nesting in struct thread_info and putting
the inlining functions in include/asm-generic/ are OK for me. It will
be a good-shaped framework and reduce function calls, and still allow
x86 has its own implementation.

The framework will only be more appealing when the x86 percpu
rcu_read_lock_nesting is implemented. This series implements
the x86 percpu rcu_read_lock_nesting first and avoid touch too much
files. The framework can be implemented later

Thanks
Lai



Thanx, Paul
