From c4020620528e4e22a051900654a70dcff0ab218d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Thu, 9 Jan 2025 13:19:42 -0800 Subject: srcu: Add SRCU-fast readers This commit adds srcu_read_{,un}lock_fast(), which is similar to srcu_read_{,un}lock_lite(), but avoids the array-indexing and pointer-following overhead. On a microbenchmark featuring tight loops around empty readers, this results in about a 20% speedup compared to RCU Tasks Trace on my x86 laptop. Please note that SRCU-fast has drawbacks compared to RCU Tasks Trace, including: o Lack of CPU stall warnings. o SRCU-fast readers permitted only where rcu_is_watching(). o A pointer-sized return value from srcu_read_lock_fast() must be passed to the corresponding srcu_read_unlock_fast(). o In the absence of readers, a synchronize_srcu() having _fast() readers will incur the latency of at least two normal RCU grace periods. o RCU Tasks Trace priority boosting could be easily added. Boosting SRCU readers is more difficult. SRCU-fast also has a drawback compared to SRCU-lite, namely that the return value from srcu_read_lock_fast()-fast is a 64-bit pointer and that from srcu_read_lock_lite() is only a 32-bit int.
