From e8c158bb313c1df421eab7dc4299cd39cbbf5895 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Robin Holt Date: Thu, 2 Apr 2009 16:59:45 -0700 Subject: Factor out #ifdefs from kernel/spinlock.c to LOCK_CONTENDED_FLAGS SGI has observed that on large systems, interrupts are not serviced for a long period of time when waiting for a rwlock. The following patch series re-enables irqs while waiting for the lock, resembling the code which is already there for spinlocks. I only made the ia64 version, because the patch adds some overhead to the fast path. I assume there is currently no demand to have this for other architectures, because the systems are not so large. Of course, the possibility to implement raw_{read|write}_lock_flags for any architecture is still there. This patch: The new macro LOCK_CONTENDED_FLAGS expands to the correct implementation depending on the config options, so that IRQ's are re-enabled when possible, but they remain disabled if CONFIG_LOCKDEP is set.
