From fa6004ad4528153b699a4d5ce5ea6b33acce74cc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Davidlohr Bueso Date: Mon, 4 May 2015 07:02:46 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] ipc/mqueue: Implement lockless pipelined wakeups This patch moves the wakeup_process() invocation so it is not done under the info->lock by making use of a lockless wake_q. With this change, the waiter is woken up once it is STATE_READY and it does not need to loop on SMP if it is still in STATE_PENDING. In the timeout case we still need to grab the info->lock to verify the state. This change should also avoid the introduction of preempt_disable() in -rt which avoids a busy-loop which pools for the STATE_PENDING -> STATE_READY change if the waiter has a higher priority compared to the waker. Additionally, this patch micro-optimizes wq_sleep by using the cheaper cousin of set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTABLE) as we will block no matter what, thus get rid of the implied barrier.
