The entries counter in cpu buffer is not atomic. It can be updated by other interrupts or from another CPU (readers). But making entries into "atomic_t" causes an atomic operation that can hurt performance. Instead we convert it to a local_t that will increment a counter with a local CPU atomic operation (if the arch supports it). Instead of fighting with readers and overwrites that decrement the counter, I added a "read" counter. Every time a reader reads an entry it is incremented. We already have a overrun counter and with that, the entries counter and the read counter, we can calculate the total number of entries in the buffer with: (entries - overrun) - read As long as the total number of entries in the ring buffer is less than the word size, this will work. But since the entries counter was previously a long, this is no different than what we had before. Thanks to Andrew Morton for pointing out in the first version that atomic_t does not replace unsigned long. I switched to atomic_long_t even though it is signed. A negative count is most likely a bug. [ Impact: keep accurate count of cpu buffer entries ] Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> |
