#1379446 — [RT PATCH] cputime: remove raw locks introduced by RT patchset

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

Sebastian,

This patch removes the raw spinlock operations when updating cputtime
in the vtime_* functions in kernel/sched/cputime.c.

Based on Frederic's commit b7ce2277f087fd052, there is no need for
the raw spinlocks in vtime_* functions to guard against writer
concurrency and the RT versions of write_seqcount_begin() and
write_seqcount_end() make calls to preempt_disable_rt() and
preempt_enable_rt(), so we'll be in atomic context while updating
cputime.

I've run this patch on x86_64 4.4.6-rt14 and the RHEL-RT kernel, 
with 12h rteval runs on systems with both no tuning and systems
with isolcpus/rcu_nocbs/nohz_full cpus. No ill effects seen.

Frederic's patch made it into 4.5-rc1. What I did yesterday was:

* sched/cputime: Convert vtime_seqlock to seqcount
* sched/cputime: Clarify vtime symbols and document them
* Revert "vtime: Split lock and seqcount"

which is what you want, correct?

Yes, that's it. I just wanted to get rid of the redundant locking operations and reduce the accounting overhead by a bit. 

Thanks!
