Waiman Long 7d43f1ce9d locking/rwsem: Enable time-based spinning on reader-owned rwsem
When the rwsem is owned by reader, writers stop optimistic spinning
simply because there is no easy way to figure out if all the readers
are actively running or not. However, there are scenarios where
the readers are unlikely to sleep and optimistic spinning can help
performance.

This patch provides a simple mechanism for spinning on a reader-owned
rwsem by a writer. It is a time threshold based spinning where the
allowable spinning time can vary from 10us to 25us depending on the
condition of the rwsem.

When the time threshold is exceeded, the nonspinnable bits will be set
in the owner field to indicate that no more optimistic spinning will
be allowed on this rwsem until it becomes writer owned again. Not even
readers is allowed to acquire the reader-locked rwsem by optimistic
spinning for fairness.

We also want a writer to acquire the lock after the readers hold the
lock for a relatively long time. In order to give preference to writers
under such a circumstance, the single RWSEM_NONSPINNABLE bit is now split
into two - one for reader and one for writer. When optimistic spinning
is disabled, both bits will be set. When the reader count drop down
to 0, the writer nonspinnable bit will be cleared to allow writers to
spin on the lock, but not the readers. When a writer acquires the lock,
it will write its own task structure pointer into sem->owner and clear
the reader nonspinnable bit in the process.

The time taken for each iteration of the reader-owned rwsem spinning
loop varies. Below are sample minimum elapsed times for 16 iterations
of the loop.

      System                 Time for 16 Iterations
      ------                 ----------------------
  1-socket Skylake                  ~800ns
  4-socket Broadwell                ~300ns
  2-socket ThunderX2 (arm64)        ~250ns

When the lock cacheline is contended, we can see up to almost 10X
increase in elapsed time.  So 25us will be at most 500, 1300 and 1600
iterations for each of the above systems.

With a locking microbenchmark running on 5.1 based kernel, the total
locking rates (in kops/s) on a 8-socket IvyBridge-EX system with
equal numbers of readers and writers before and after this patch were
as follows:

   # of Threads  Pre-patch    Post-patch
   ------------  ---------    ----------
        2          1,759        6,684
        4          1,684        6,738
        8          1,074        7,222
       16            900        7,163
       32            458        7,316
       64            208          520
      128            168          425
      240            143          474

This patch gives a big boost in performance for mixed reader/writer
workloads.

With 32 locking threads, the rwsem lock event data were:

rwsem_opt_fail=79850
rwsem_opt_nospin=5069
rwsem_opt_rlock=597484
rwsem_opt_wlock=957339
rwsem_sleep_reader=57782
rwsem_sleep_writer=55663

With 64 locking threads, the data looked like:

rwsem_opt_fail=346723
rwsem_opt_nospin=6293
rwsem_opt_rlock=1127119
rwsem_opt_wlock=1400628
rwsem_sleep_reader=308201
rwsem_sleep_writer=72281

So a lot more threads acquired the lock in the slowpath and more threads
went to sleep.
