[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] [Xen-devel] [PATCH 17/19] xen: credit2: the private scheduler lock can be an rwlock.
In fact, the data it protects only change either at init-time,
during cpupools manipulation, or when changing domains' weights.
In all other cases (namely, load balancing, reading weights
and status dumping), information is only read.
Therefore, let the lock be an read/write one. This means there
is no full serialization point for the whole scheduler and
for all the pCPUs of the host any longer.
This is particularly good for scalability (especially when doing
load balancing).
Also, update the high level description of the locking discipline,
and take the chance for rewording it a little bit (as well as
for adding a couple of locking related ASSERT()-s).

/*
* Locking:
- * - Schedule-lock is per-runqueue
- * + Protects runqueue data, runqueue insertion, &c
- * + Also protects updates to private sched vcpu structure
- * + Must be grabbed using vcpu_schedule_lock_irq() to make sure
vcpu->processr
- * doesn't change under our feet.
- * - Private data lock
- * + Protects access to global domain list
- * + All other private data is written at init and only read afterwards.
+ *
+ * - runqueue lock
+ * + it is per-runqueue, so:
+ * * cpus in a runqueue take the runqueue lock, when using
+ * pcpu_schedule_lock() / vcpu_schedule_lock() (and friends),
+ * * a cpu may (try to) take a "remote" runqueue lock, e.g., for
+ * load balancing;
+ * + serializes runqueue operations (removing and inserting vcpus);
+ * + protects runqueue-wide data in csched2_runqueue_data;
+ * + protects vcpu parameters in csched2_vcpu for the vcpu in the
+ * runqueue.
+ *
+ * - Private scheduler lock
+ * + protects scheduler-wide data in csched2_private, such as:
+ * * the list of domains active in this scheduler,
+ * * what cpus and what runqueues are active and in what
+ * runqueue each cpu is;
+ * + serializes the operation of changing the weights of domains;
+ *
+ * - Type:
+ * + runqueue locks are 'regular' spinlocks;
+ * + the private scheduler lock can be an rwlock. In fact, data
+ * it protects is modified only during initialization, cpupool
+ * manipulation and when changing weights, and read in all
+ * other cases (e.g., during load balancing).
+ *
* Ordering:
- * - We grab private->schedule when updating domain weight; so we
- * must never grab private if a schedule lock is held.
+ * + tylock must be used when wanting to take a runqueue lock,
+ * if we already hold another one;
+ * + if taking both a runqueue lock and the private scheduler
+ * lock is, the latter must always be taken for first.
