From db1466b3e1bd1727375cdbfcbea4bcce2f860f61 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Wed, 3 Mar 2010 07:46:56 -0800 Subject: rcu: Use wrapper function instead of exporting tasklist_lock Lockdep-RCU commit d11c563d exported tasklist_lock, which is not a good thing. This patch instead exports a function that uses lockdep to check whether tasklist_lock is held. Suggested-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Paul E.

This patch adds per-thread cache for mm_counter. RSS value will be counted into a struct in task_struct and synchronized with mm's one at events. Now, in this patch, the event is the number of calls to handle_mm_fault. Per-thread value is added to mm at each 64 calls. rough estimation with small benchmark on parallel thread (2threads) shows [before] 4.5 cache-miss/faults [after] 4.0 cache-miss/faults Anyway, the most contended object is mmap_sem if the number of threads grows.
