[PATCH v7 00/11] qspinlock: a 4-byte queue spinlock with PV support
v6->v7:
- Remove an atomic operation from the 2-task contending code
- Shorten the names of some macros
- Make the queue waiter to attempt to steal lock when unfair lock is
enabled.
- Remove lock holder kick from the PV code and fix a race condition
- Run the unfair lock & PV code on overcommitted KVM guests to collect
performance data.
v5->v6:
- Change the optimized 2-task contending code to make it fairer at the
expense of a bit of performance.
- Add a patch to support unfair queue spinlock for Xen.
- Modify the PV qspinlock code to follow what was done in the PV
ticketlock.
- Add performance data for the unfair lock as well as the PV
support code.
v4->v5:
- Move the optimized 2-task contending code to the generic file to
enable more architectures to use it without code duplication.
- Address some of the style-related comments by PeterZ.
- Allow the use of unfair queue spinlock in a real para-virtualized
execution environment.
- Add para-virtualization support to the qspinlock code by ensuring
that the lock holder and queue head stay alive as much as possible.
v3->v4:
- Remove debugging code and fix a configuration error
- Simplify the qspinlock structure and streamline the code to make it
perform a bit better
- Add an x86 version of asm/qspinlock.h for holding x86 specific
optimization.
- Add an optimized x86 code path for 2 contending tasks to improve
low contention performance.
v2->v3:
- Simplify the code by using numerous mode only without an unfair option.
- Use the latest smp_load_acquire()/smp_store_release() barriers.
- Move the queue spinlock code to kernel/locking.
- Make the use of queue spinlock the default for x86-64 without user
configuration.
- Additional performance tuning.
v1->v2:
- Add some more comments to document what the code does.
- Add a numerous CPU mode to support >= 16K CPUs
- Add a configuration option to allow lock stealing which can further
improve performance in many cases.
- Enable wakeup of queue head CPU at unlock time for non-numerous
CPU mode.
This patch set has 3 different sections:
1) Patches 1-4: Introduces a queue-based spinlock implementation that
can replace the default ticket spinlock without increasing the
size of the spinlock data structure. As a result, critical kernel
data structures that embed spinlock won't increase in size and
break data alignments.
2) Patches 5-7: Enables the use of unfair queue spinlock in a
para-virtualized execution environment. This can resolve some
of the locking related performance issues due to the fact that
the next CPU to get the lock may have been scheduled out for a
period of time.
3) Patches 8-11: Enable qspinlock para-virtualization support
by halting the waiting CPUs after spinning for a certain amount of
time. The unlock code will detect the a sleeping waiter and wake it
up. This is essentially the same logic as the PV ticketlock code.
Patches 1-8 are fully tested and ready for production. Patches 9-10
are also tested on KVM guests. Patch 11, however, has not been tested
on XEN guest yet. Anyone who would like to test this out is welcome to
do so.
The queue spinlock has slightly better performance than the ticket
spinlock in uncontended case. Its performance can be much better
with moderate to heavy contention. This patch has the potential of
improving the performance of all the workloads that have moderate to
heavy spinlock contention.
The queue spinlock is especially suitable for NUMA machines with at
least 2 sockets, though noticeable performance benefit probably won't
show up in machines with less than 4 sockets.
The purpose of this patch set is not to solve any particular spinlock
contention problems. Those need to be solved by refactoring the code
to make more efficient use of the lock or finer granularity ones. The
main purpose is to make the lock contention problems more tolerable
until someone can spend the time and effort to fix them.

[PATCH v7 01/11] qspinlock: A generic 4-byte queue spinlock implementation
This patch introduces a new generic queue spinlock implementation that
can serve as an alternative to the default ticket spinlock. Compared
with the ticket spinlock, this queue spinlock should be almost as fair
as the ticket spinlock. It has about the same speed in single-thread
and it can be much faster in high contention situations especially when
the spinlock is embedded within the data structure to be protected.
Only in light to moderate contention where the average queue depth
is around 1-3 will this queue spinlock be potentially a bit slower
due to the higher slowpath overhead.
This queue spinlock is especially suit to NUMA machines with a large
number of cores as the chance of spinlock contention is much higher
in those machines. The cost of contention is also higher because of
slower inter-node memory traffic.
The idea behind this spinlock implementation is the fact that spinlocks
are acquired with preemption disabled. In other words, the process
will not be migrated to another CPU while it is trying to get a
spinlock. Ignoring interrupt handling, a CPU can only be contending
in one spinlock at any one time. Of course, interrupt handler can try
to acquire one spinlock while the interrupted user process is in the
process of getting another spinlock. By allocating a set of per-cpu
queue nodes and used them to form a waiting queue, we can encode the
queue node address into a much smaller 16-bit size. Together with
the 1-byte lock bit, this queue spinlock implementation will only
need 4 bytes to hold all the information that it needs.
The current queue node address encoding of the 4-byte word is as
follows:
Bits 0-7 : the locked byte
Bits 8-9 : queue node index in the per-cpu array (4 entries)
Bits 10-31: cpu number + 1 (max cpus = 4M -1)
For single-thread performance (no contention), a 256K lock/unlock
loop was run on a 2.4Ghz Westmere x86-64 CPU. The following table
shows the average time (in ns) for a single lock/unlock sequence
(including the looping and timing overhead):
Lock Type Time (ns)
--------- ---------
Ticket spinlock 14.1
Queue spinlock 8.8
So the queue spinlock is much faster than the ticket spinlock, even
though the overhead of locking and unlocking should be pretty small
when there is no contention. The performance advantage is mainly
due to the fact that ticket spinlock does a read-modify-write (add)
instruction in unlock whereas queue spinlock only does a simple write
in unlock which can be much faster in a pipelined CPU.
The AIM7 benchmark was run on a 8-socket 80-core DL980 with Westmere
x86-64 CPUs with XFS filesystem on a ramdisk and HT off to evaluate
the performance impact of this patch on a 3.13 kernel.

The workload with the most gain was the disk workload. Without the
patch, the perf profile at 1500 users looked like:

There was pretty high spinlock contention on the inode_sb_list_lock
and maybe the inode's i_lock.
With the patch, the perf profile at 1500 users became:

On the ext4 filesystem, the disk workload improved from 416281 JPM
to 899101 JPM (+116%) with the patch. In this case, the contended
spinlock is the mb_cache_spinlock.

+ * lock spinners.
+ *
+ * Since preemption is disabled before getting the lock, a given CPU will
+ * only need to use one queue node structure in a non-interrupt context.
+ * A percpu queue node structure will be allocated for this purpose and the
+ * cpu number will be put into the queue spinlock structure to indicate the
+ * tail of the queue.
+ *
+ * To handle spinlock acquisition at interrupt context (softirq or hardirq),
+ * the queue node structure is actually an array for supporting nested spin
+ * locking operations in interrupt handlers. If all the entries in the

+ * happen in normal circumstances) and the lock spinner will fall back to
+ * busy spinning instead of waiting in a queue.

[PATCH v7 02/11] qspinlock, x86: Enable x86-64 to use queue spinlock
This patch makes the necessary changes at the x86 architecture
specific layer to enable the use of queue spinlock for x86-64. As
x86-32 machines are typically not multi-socket. The benefit of queue
spinlock may not be apparent. So queue spinlock is not enabled.
Currently, there is some incompatibilities between the para-virtualized
spinlock code (which hard-codes the use of ticket spinlock) and the
queue spinlock. Therefore, the use of queue spinlock is disabled when
the para-virtualized spinlock is enabled.
The arch/x86/include/asm/qspinlock.h header file includes some x86
specific optimization which will make the queue spinlock code perform
better than the generic implementation.

[PATCH v7 03/11] qspinlock: More optimized code for smaller NR_CPUS
For architectures that support atomic operations on smaller 8 or
16 bits data types. It is possible to simplify the code and produce
slightly better optimized code at the expense of smaller number of
supported CPUs.
The qspinlock code can support up to a maximum of 4M-1 CPUs. With
less than 16K CPUs, it is possible to squeeze the queue code into a
2-byte short word which can be accessed directly as a 16-bit short
data type. This enables the simplification of the queue code exchange
portion of the slowpath code.
This patch introduces a new macro _ARCH_SUPPORTS_ATOMIC_8_16_BITS_OPS
which can now be defined in an architecture specific qspinlock.h header
file to indicate its support for smaller atomic operation data types.
This macro triggers the replacement of some of the generic functions
by more optimized versions.

[PATCH v7 04/11] qspinlock: Optimized code path for 2 contending tasks
A major problem with the queue spinlock patch is its performance at
low contention level (2-4 contending tasks) where it is slower than
the corresponding ticket spinlock code. The following table shows the
execution time (in ms) of a micro-benchmark where 5M iterations of
the lock/unlock cycles were run on a 10-core Westere-EX x86-64 CPU
with 2 different types loads - standalone (lock and protected data
in different cachelines) and embedded (lock and protected data in
the same cacheline).

It can be seen that the performance degradation is particular bad
with 2 and 3 contending tasks. To reduce that performance deficit
at low contention level, a special specific optimized code path
for 2 contending tasks was added. This special code path can only be
activated with less than 16K of configured CPUs because it uses a byte
in the 32-bit lock word to hold a waiting bit for the 2nd contending
tasks instead of queuing the waiting task in the queue.
With the change, the performance data became:
[Standalone/Embedded]
# of tasks Ticket lock Queue lock %Change
---------- ----------- ---------- -------
2 1045/950 1070/1061 +2%/+12%
In a multi-socketed server, the optimized code path also seems to
produce a pretty good performance improvement in cross-node contention
traffic at low contention level. The table below show the performance
with 1 contending task per node:
[Standalone]
# of nodes Ticket lock Queue lock %Change
---------- ----------- ---------- -------
1 135 135 0%
2 4452 1483 -67%
3 10767 13432 +25%
4 20835 10796 -48%
Except some drop in performance at the 3 contending tasks level,
the queue spinlock performs much better than the ticket spinlock at
2 and 4 contending tasks level.

[PATCH v7 05/11] pvqspinlock, x86: Allow unfair spinlock in a PV guest
Locking is always an issue in a virtualized environment as the virtual
CPU that is waiting on a lock may get scheduled out and hence block
any progress in lock acquisition even when the lock has been freed.
One solution to this problem is to allow unfair lock in a
para-virtualized environment. In this case, a new lock acquirer can
come and steal the lock if the next-in-line CPU to get the lock is
scheduled out. Other CPUs queued behind the scheduled-out CPU may
also attempt to steal the lock, though at a lower frequency (1/16)
to give the queue head a higher chance of getting the lock.
An alternative is to use a simple unfair byte lock which can, in some
cases, provide a bit better performance than the queue unfair lock
mentioned above. However, the chance of lock starvation problem is
also likely to be higher.
Unfair lock in a native environment is generally not a good idea as
there is a possibility of lock starvation for a heavily contended lock.
This patch add a new configuration option for the x86 architecture to
enable the use of unfair queue spinlock (PARAVIRT_UNFAIR_LOCKS) in a
para-virtualized guest. A jump label (paravirt_unfairlocks_enabled)
is used to switch between a fair and an unfair version of the spinlock
code. This jump label will only be enabled in a PV guest.
Enabling this configuration feature causes a slight decrease the
performance of an uncontended lock-unlock operation by about 1-2%
mainly due to the use of a static key. However, uncontended lock-unlock
operation are really just a tiny percentage of a real workload. So
there should no noticeable change in application performance.
With the unfair locking activated on bare metal 4-socket Westmere-EX
box, the execution times (in ms) of a spinlock micro-benchmark were
as follows:
# of Ticket Fair Unfair Unfair
tasks lock queue lock queue lock byte lock
------ ------- ---------- ---------- ---------
1 135 135 137 137
2 1045 1120 462 462
3 1827 2345 794 963
4 2689 2934 1323 1706
5 3736 3658 1902 2127
6 4942 4434 2733 2980
7 6304 5176 3416 3491
8 7736 5955 4342 3955
Executing one task per node, the performance data were:
# of Ticket Fair Unfair Unfair
nodes lock queue lock queue lock byte lock
------ ------- ---------- ---------- ---------
1 135 135 137 137
2 4452 1736 715 710
3 10767 13432 1508 1468
4 20835 10796 2697 2582
The performance of a simple unfair byte lock is pretty close to the
unfair queue lock. Of course there are pretty big variation in the
execution times of each individual task. For the 4 nodes case above,
the standard deviation was 785ms.
In general, the shorter the critical section, the better the
performance benefit of an unfair lock. For large critical section,
however, there may not be much benefit.

[PATCH v7 09/11] pvqspinlock, x86: Add qspinlock para-virtualization support
This patch adds para-virtualization support to the queue spinlock in
the same way as was done in the PV ticket lock code. In essence, the
lock waiters will spin for a specified number of times (QSPIN_THRESHOLD
= 2^14) and then halted itself. The queue head waiter, unlike the
other waiter, will spins 2*QSPIN_THRESHOLD times before halting
itself. Before being halted, the queue head waiter will set a flag
(_QLOCK_LOCKED_SLOWPATH) in the lock byte to indicate that the unlock
slowpath has to be invoked.
In the unlock slowpath, the current lock holder will find the queue
head by following the previous node pointer links stored in the queue
node structure until it finds one that has the qhead flag turned
on. It then attempt to kick the CPU of the queue head.
After the queue head acquired the lock, it will also check the status
of the next node and set _QLOCK_LOCKED_SLOWPATH if it has been halted.
Enabling the PV code does have a performance impact on spinlock
acquisitions and releases. The following table shows the execution
time (in ms) of a spinlock micro-benchmark that does lock/unlock
operations 5M times for each task versus the number of contending
tasks on a Westmere-EX system.
# of Ticket lock Queue lock
tasks PV off/PV on/%Change PV off/PV on/%Change
------ -------------------- ---------------------
1 135/ 179/+33% 137/ 169/+23%
2 1045/ 1103/ +6% 1120/ 1574/+41%
3 1827/ 2683/+47% 2313/ 2664/+15%
4 2689/ 4191/+56% 2914/ 3208/+10%
5 3736/ 5830/+56% 3715/ 3776/ +2%
6 4942/ 7609/+54% 4504/ 4536/ +1%
7 6304/ 9570/+52% 5292/ 5294/ 0%
8 7736/11323/+46% 6037/ 6028/ 0%
It can be seen that the ticket lock PV code has a fairly big decrease
in performance when there are 3 or more contending tasks. The queue
spinlock PV code, on the other hand, only has a relatively minor drop
in performance for 3 or more contending tasks. At 5 or more contending
tasks, there is practically no difference in performance. When coupled
with unfair lock, the queue spinlock can be much faster than the PV
ticket lock.

[PATCH v7 10/11] pvqspinlock, x86: Enable qspinlock PV support for KVM
This patch adds the necessary KVM specific code to allow KVM to support
the sleeping and CPU kicking operations needed by the queue spinlock PV
code.
Two KVM guests of 20 CPU cores (2 nodes) were created for performance
testing. With only one KVM guest powered on (no overcommit), the
disk workload of the AIM7 benchmark was run on both ext4 and xfs RAM
disks at 3000 users on a 3.14-rc6 based kernel. The JPM (jobs/minute)
data of the test run were:
kernel XFS FS %change ext4 FS %change
------ ------ ------- ------- -------
PV ticketlock (baseline) 2409639 - 1289398 -
qspinlock 2425876 +0.7% 1291248 +0.1%
PV qspinlock 2425876 +0.7% 1299639 +0.8%
unfair qspinlock 2435724 +1.1% 1441153 +11.8%
unfair + PV qspinlock 2479339 +2.9% 1459854 +13.2%
The XFS test had moderate spinlock contention of 1.6% whereas the
ext4 test had heavy spinlock contention of 15.4% as reported by perf.
A more interesting performance comparison is when there is
overcommit. With both PV guests (all 20 CPUs equally shared with
both guests - 200% overcommit) turned on and the "idle=poll" kernel
option to simulate a busy guest. The results of running the same AIM7
workloads are shown in the table below.
XFS Test:
kernel JPM Real Time Sys Time Usr Time
----- --- --------- -------- --------
PV ticketlock 597015 29.99 424.44 25.85
qspinlock 117493 153.20 1006.06 59.60
PV qspinlock 616438 29.20 397.57 23.31
unfair qspinlock 642398 28.02 396.42 25.42
unfair + PV qspinlock 633803 28.40 400.45 26.16
ext4 Test:
kernel JPM Real Time Sys Time Usr Time
----- --- --------- -------- --------
PV ticketlock 120984 148.78 2378.98 29.27
qspinlock 54995 327.30 5023.58 54.73
PV qspinlock 124215 144.91 2282.22 28.89
unfair qspinlock 467411 38.51 481.80 25.80
unfair + PV qspinlock 471080 38.21 482.40 25.09
The kernel build test (make -j 20) results are as follows:
kernel Real Time Sys Time Usr Time
----- --------- -------- --------
PV ticketlock 20m6.158s 41m7.167s 283m3.790s
qspinlock 26m41.294s 74m55.585s 346m31.981s
PV qspinlock 20m17.429s 41m19.434s 281m21.238s
unfair qspinlock 19m58.315s 40m18.011s 279m27.177s
unfair + PV qspinlock 20m0.030s 40m35.011s 278m50.522s
With no overcommit, the PV code doesn't really do anything. The unfair
lock does provide some performance advantage depending on the workload.
In an overcommited PV guest, however, there can be a big performance
benefit with PV and unfair lock. In term of spinlock contention,
the ordering of the 3 workloads are:
kernel build < AIM7 disk xfs < AIM7 disk ext4
With light spinlock contention, the PV ticketlock can be a bit
faster than PV qspinlock. On moderate to high spinlock contention,
PV qspinlock performs better. The unfair lock has the best performance
in all cases, especially with heavy spinlock contention.

Please do what I asked you to do. You are not handling Hyper-V or VMWare. Just use X86_FEATURE_HYPERVISOR and it will cover all hypervisors that actually follow Intel's guidelines. Paolo

[PATCH v7 10/11] pvqspinlock, x86: Enable qspinlock PV support for KVM
Il 19/03/2014 21:14, Waiman Long ha scritto:> This patch adds the necessary KVM specific code to allow KVM to support > the sleeping and CPU kicking operations needed by the queue spinlock PV > code.The remaining problem of this patch is that you cannot get the generically optimal configuration: qspinlock on baremetal, PV qspinlock on KVM/Xen, unfair qspinlock on VMware/Hyper-V. You really need to disable unfair locks in kvm_spinlock_init.
