[RFC PATCH 5/5] locking/rwsem: Remove reader optimistic spinning

From: Waiman Long
Date: Tue Nov 17 2020 - 22:05:13 EST

Reader optimistic spinning is helpful when the reader critical section
is short and there aren't that many readers around. It also improves
the chance that a reader can get the lock as writer optimistic spinning
disproportionally favors writers much more than readers.

Since commit d3681e269fff ("locking/rwsem: Wake up almost all readers
in wait queue"), all the waiting readers are woken up so that they can
all get the read lock and run in parallel. When the number of contending
readers is large, allowing reader optimistic spinning will likely cause
reader fragmentation where multiple smaller groups of readers can get
the read lock in a sequential manner separated by writers. That reduces
reader parallelism.

One possible way to address that drawback is to limit the number of
readers (preferably one) that can do optimistic spinning. These readers
act as representatives of all the waiting readers in the wait queue as
they will wake up all those waiting readers once they get the lock.

Alternatively, as reader optimistic lock stealing has already enhanced
fairness to readers, it may be easier to just remove reader optimistic
spinning and simplifying the optimistic spinning code as a result.

Performance measurements (locking throughput kops/s) using a locking
microbenchmark with 50/50 reader/writer distribution and turbo-boost
disabled was done on a 2-socket Cascade Lake system (48-core 96-thread)
to see the impacts of these changes:

1) Vanilla - 5.10-rc3 kernel
2) Before - 5.10-rc3 kernel with previous patches in this series
2) limit-rspin - 5.10-rc3 kernel with limited reader spinning patch
3) no-rspin - 5.10-rc3 kernel with reader spinning disabled

The column "CS Load" represents the number of pause instructions issued
in the locking critical section. A CS load of 1 is extremely short and
is not likey in real situations. A load of 20 (moderate) and 100 (long)
are more realistic.

It can be seen that the previous patches in this series have reduced
performance in general except in highly contended cases with moderate
or long critical sections that performance improves a bit. This change
is mostly caused by the "Prevent potential lock starvation" patch that
reduce reader optimistic spinning and hence reduce reader fragmentation.

The patch that further limit reader optimistic spinning doesn't seem to
have too much impact on overall performance as shown in the benchmark
data.

The patch that disables reader optimistic spinning shows reduced
performance at lightly loaded cases, but comparable or slightly better
performance on with heavier contention.

This patch just removes reader optimistic spinning for now. As readers
are not going to do optimistic spinning anymore, we don't need to
consider if the OSQ is empty or not when doing lock stealing.

- * Reader optimistic spinning is helpful when the reader critical section
- * is short and there aren't that many readers around. It makes readers
- * relatively more preferred than writers. When a writer times out spinning
- * on a reader-owned lock and set the nospinnable bits, there are two main
- * reasons for that.
- *
- * 1) The reader critical section is long, perhaps the task sleeps after
- * acquiring the read lock.
- * 2) There are just too many readers contending the lock causing it to
- * take a while to service all of them.
- *
- * In the former case, long reader critical section will impede the progress
- * of writers which is usually more important for system performance. In
- * the later case, reader optimistic spinning tends to make the reader
- * groups that contain readers that acquire the lock together smaller
- * leading to more of them. That may hurt performance in some cases. In
- * other words, the setting of nonspinnable bits indicates that reader
- * optimistic spinning may not be helpful for those workloads that cause
- * it.
- *
- * Therefore, any writers that had observed the setting of the writer
- * nonspinnable bit for a given rwsem after they fail to acquire the lock
- * via optimistic spinning will set the reader nonspinnable bit once they
- * acquire the write lock. Similarly, readers that observe the setting
- * of reader nonspinnable bit at slowpath entry will set the reader
- * nonspinnable bits when they acquire the read lock via the wakeup path.
- *
- * Once the reader nonspinnable bit is on, it will only be reset when
- * a writer is able to acquire the rwsem in the fast path or somehow a
- * reader or writer in the slowpath doesn't observe the nonspinable bit.
- *
- * This is to discourage reader optmistic spinning on that particular
- * rwsem and make writers more preferred. This adaptive disabling of reader
- * optimistic spinning will alleviate the negative side effect of this
- * feature.
+ * A fast path reader optimistic lock stealing is supported when the rwsem
+ * is previously owned by a writer and the following conditions are met:
+ * - OSQ is empty
+ * - rwsem is not currently writer owned
+ * - the handoff isn't set.
