Hello there, quite some time ago I posted a trivial patch to locking primitives. What they do is the inline part tries an atomic op and if that fails the actual function is called, which immediately tries the same op. The obvious optimisation checks for the availability of the lock first. There concerns about the way it was done previously by relying on volatile behaving in a specific way. Later a simplified version was posted which should not have the concern, but the thread died. I refer you to https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2015-November/058100.html for simple benchmark results. I would like to get the patch in before 11 freeze. diff --git a/sys/kern/kern_lock.c b/sys/kern/kern_lock.c index 34d7b34..1b10623 100644 --- a/sys/kern/kern_lock.c +++ b/sys/kern/kern_lock.c @@ -787,8 +787,10 @@ __lockmgr_args(struct lock *lk, u_int flags, struct lock_object *ilk, break;
