From 2f8974243507d9e5b0f214d7668a59a66b93f36c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexey Dobriyan Date: Tue, 10 Apr 2018 16:30:54 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] proc: do less stuff under ->pde_unload_lock Commit ca469f35a8e9ef ("deal with races between remove_proc_entry() and proc_reg_release()") moved too much stuff under ->pde_unload_lock making a problem described at series "[PATCH v5] procfs: Improve Scaling in proc" worse. While RCU is being figured out, move kfree() out of ->pde_unload_lock. On my potato, difference is only 0.5% speedup with concurrent open+read+close of /proc/cmdline, but the effect should be more noticeable on more capable machines. $ perf stat -r 16 -- ./proc-j 16 Performance counter stats for './proc-j 16' (16 runs): 130569.502377 task-clock (msec) # 15.872 CPUs utilized ( +- 0.05% ) 19,169 context-switches # 0.147 K/sec ( +- 0.18% ) 15 cpu-migrations # 0.000 K/sec ( +- 3.27% ) 437 page-faults # 0.003 K/sec ( +- 1.25% ) 300,172,097,675 cycles # 2.299 GHz ( +- 0.05% ) 96,793,267,308 instructions # 0.32 insn per cycle ( +- 0.04% ) 22,798,342,298 branches # 174.607 M/sec ( +- 0.04% ) 111,764,687 branch-misses # 0.49% of all branches ( +- 0.47% ) 8.226574400 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.05% ) ^^^^^^^^^^^ $ perf stat -r 16 -- ./proc-j 16 Performance counter stats for './proc-j 16' (16 runs): 129866.777392 task-clock (msec) # 15.869 CPUs utilized ( +- 0.04% ) 19,154 context-switches # 0.147 K/sec ( +- 0.66% ) 14 cpu-migrations # 0.000 K/sec ( +- 1.73% ) 431 page-faults # 0.003 K/sec ( +- 1.09% ) 298,556,520,546 cycles # 2.299 GHz ( +- 0.04% ) 96,525,366,833 instructions # 0.32 insn per cycle ( +- 0.04% ) 22,730,194,043 branches # 175.027 M/sec ( +- 0.04% ) 111,506,074 branch-misses # 0.49% of all branches ( +- 0.18% ) 8.183629778 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.04% ) ^^^^^^^^^^^ Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180213132911.GA24298@avx2 Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan Reviewed-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- fs/proc/inode.c | 14 +++++++++----- 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/fs/proc/inode.c b/fs/proc/inode.c index 6e8724958116..8118ce5df5c6 100644 --- a/fs/proc/inode.c +++ b/fs/proc/inode.c @@ -138,7 +138,7 @@ static void unuse_pde(struct proc_dir_entry *pde) complete(pde->pde_unload_completion); } -/* pde is locked */ +/* pde is locked on entry, unlocked on exit */ static void close_pdeo(struct proc_dir_entry *pde, struct pde_opener *pdeo) { /* @@ -157,9 +157,10 @@ static void close_pdeo(struct proc_dir_entry *pde, struct pde_opener *pdeo) pdeo->c = &c; spin_unlock(&pde->pde_unload_lock); wait_for_completion(&c); - spin_lock(&pde->pde_unload_lock); } else { struct file *file; + struct completion *c; + pdeo->closing = true; spin_unlock(&pde->pde_unload_lock); file = pdeo->file; @@ -167,8 +168,10 @@ static void close_pdeo(struct proc_dir_entry *pde, struct pde_opener *pdeo) spin_lock(&pde->pde_unload_lock); /* After ->release. */ list_del(&pdeo->lh); - if (unlikely(pdeo->c)) - complete(pdeo->c); + c = pdeo->c; + spin_unlock(&pde->pde_unload_lock); + if (unlikely(c)) + complete(c); kfree(pdeo); } } @@ -188,6 +191,7 @@ void proc_entry_rundown(struct proc_dir_entry *de) struct pde_opener *pdeo; pdeo = list_first_entry(&de->pde_openers, struct pde_opener, lh); close_pdeo(de, pdeo); + spin_lock(&de->pde_unload_lock); } spin_unlock(&de->pde_unload_lock); } @@ -375,7 +379,7 @@ static int proc_reg_release(struct inode *inode, struct file *file) list_for_each_entry(pdeo, &pde->pde_openers, lh) { if (pdeo->file == file) { close_pdeo(pde, pdeo); - break; + return 0; } } spin_unlock(&pde->pde_unload_lock); -- 2.30.2
