[PATCH 2/2] block: kill extra rcu lock/unlock in queue enter

From: Pavel Begunkov
Date: Wed Oct 20 2021 - 16:03:38 EST


blk_try_enter_queue() already takes rcu_read_lock/unlock, so we can
avoid the second pair in percpu_ref_tryget_live(), use a newly added
percpu_ref_tryget_live_rcu().

As rcu_read_lock/unlock imply barrier()s, it's pretty noticeable,
especially for for !CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU (default for some distributions),
where __rcu_read_lock/unlock() are not inlined.

3.20% io_uring [kernel.vmlinux] [k] __rcu_read_unlock
3.05% io_uring [kernel.vmlinux] [k] __rcu_read_lock

2.52% io_uring [kernel.vmlinux] [k] __rcu_read_unlock
2.28% io_uring [kernel.vmlinux] [k] __rcu_read_lock
