Subject[PATCH v3 1/3] qrwlock: A queue read/write lock implementation
Date
This patch introduces a new read/write lock implementation that put
waiting readers and writers into a queue instead of actively contending
the lock like the current read/write lock implementation. This will
improve performance in highly contended situation by reducing the
cache line bouncing effect.

The queue read/write lock (qrwlock) is mostly fair with respect to
the writers, even though there is still a slight chance of write
lock stealing.

Externally, there are two different types of readers - classic (with
lock stealing) and fair. A classic reader will try to steal read lock
even if a waiter is waiting, whereas a fair reader will be waiting
in the queue under this circumstance. These variants are chosen at
initialization time by using different initializers. The new *_fair()
initializers are added for selecting the use of fair reader.

Internally, there is a third type of readers which steal lock more
aggressively than the classic reader. They simply increments the reader
count and wait until the writer releases the lock. The transition to
aggressive reader happens in the read lock slowpath when
1. In an interrupt context.
2. when a classic reader comes to the head of the wait queue.
3. When a fair reader comes to the head of the wait queue and sees
the release of a write lock.

The fair queue rwlock is more deterministic in the sense that late
comers jumping ahead and stealing the lock is unlikely even though
there is still a very small chance for lock stealing to happen if
the readers or writers come at the right moment. Other than that,
lock granting is done in a FIFO manner. As a result, it is possible
to determine a maximum time period after which the waiting is over
and the lock can be acquired.

The queue read lock is safe to use in an interrupt context (softirq
or hardirq) as it will switch to become an aggressive reader in such
environment allowing recursive read lock. However, the fair readers
will not support recursive read lock in a non-interrupt environment
when a writer is waiting.

The only downside of queue rwlock is the size increase in the lock
structure by 4 bytes for 32-bit systems and by 12 bytes for 64-bit
systems.

This patch allows the optional replacement of architecture specific
implementation of rwlock by this generic version of queue
rwlock. Two new config parameters are introduced:

1. QUEUE_RWLOCK
A select-able option that enables the building and replacement of
architecture specific rwlock by queue rwlock.
2. ARCH_QUEUE_RWLOCK
Have to be defined in arch/$(ARCH)/Kconfig to enable QUEUE_RWLOCK
option. This option, by itself, will not enable the queue rwlock
feature.

In term of single-thread performance (no contention), a 256K
lock/unlock loop was run on a 2.4GHz and 2.93Ghz Westmere x86-64
CPUs. The following table shows the average time (in ns) for a single
lock/unlock sequence (including the looping and timing overhead):

Lock Type 2.4GHz 2.93GHz
--------- ------ -------
Ticket spinlock 14.9 12.3
Read lock 17.0 13.5
Write lock 17.2 13.5
Queue fair read lock 22.7 18.9
Queue classic read lock 22.7 18.9
Queue write lock 13.9 11.7

While the queue read lock is about 1.5X the time of a spinlock,
the queue write lock is actually slight faster than that of the
spinlock. Comparing to the classic rwlock, the queue read lock is
about 40% slower while the queue write lock is about 15% faster.

With lock contention, the speed of each individual lock/unlock function
is less important than the amount of contention-induced delays.

To investigate the performance characteristics of the queue rwlock
compared with the regular rwlock, the fserver and new_fserver
benchmarks with ext4 filesystem of the AIM7 test suite were used on
a 8-socket x86-64 system with 80 cores. The rwlock in contention was
the j_state_lock of the journal_s structure in include/linux/jbd2.h.

The following kernels were used:
1) Vanilla 3.10.1
2) 3.10.1 with qrwlock patch (classic j_state_lock)
3) 3.10.1 with qrwlock patch (fair j_state_lock)
(classic behavior - readers can steal lock from waiting writer)

The following table shows the averaged results in the 200-1000
user ranges:

+-----------------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+

The following table show the amount of CPU time spent on the fastpaths
and slowpaths of the read and write lock for each of the different
kernels listed above as reported by perf with the new_fserver workload
at 1500 users:

+-----------------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+
| Kernel | 1 | 2 | 3 | 1 | 2 | 3 |
| HT | on | on | on | off | off | off |
+-----------------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+
| Read fastpath | 0.88% | 0.19% | 0.16% | 0.22% | 0.24% | 0.22% |
| Read slowpath | 13.6% | 12.4% | 21.3% | 0.13% | 0.51% | 0.05% |
| Write fastpath | 0.10% | 0.01% | 0.01% | 0.01% | 0.01% | 0.01% |
| Write slowpath | 11.1% | 0.08% | 0.18% | 0.05% | 0.00% | 0.00% |
+-----------------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+

The small write slowpath numbers for queue rwlock indicates that it
is a reader heavy lock with writers probably holding the lock a lot
longer than the readers. The queue rwlock of both favors causes a
big reduction in the amount of time spent by the writers to get the
lock. Even though the readers need to wait longer in the HT on cases,
it is more than compensated by the reduction in writers' time.

To see how the queue write lock can be used as a replacement for ticket
spinlock (just like rwsem can be used as replacement of mutex), the
mb_cache_spinlock in fs/mbcache.c, which is a bottleneck in the disk
workload (ext4 FS) of the AIM7 benchmark, was converted to both a queue
write lock and a regular write lock.

The following kernels were used when running on a 8-socket 80-core
DL980 system:
1) Vanila 3.10.1
2) 3.10.1 with mb_cache_spinlock replaced by queue write lock
3) 3.10.1 with mb_cache_spinlock replaced by regular write lock

The following table shows the averaged JPM results for the disk
workload:

+----------+--------+--------+--------+--------+--------+--------+

+----------+--------+--------+--------+--------+--------+--------+

The amount of time spent in mbcache lock contention as reported by perf
for the disk workload at 1000 users were listed in the following table.

+----------------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+
| Kernel | 1 | 2 | 3 | 1 | 2 | 3 |
| HT | off | off | off | on | on | on |
+----------------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+
| _raw_spin_lock | 75.9% | - | - | 72.0% | - | - |
| wlock fastpath | - | 0.08% | 0.56% | - | 0.06% | 0.44% |
| wlock slowpath | - | 70.8% | 61.6% | - | 68.5% | 56.2% |
+----------------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+

The higher amount of time spent in the classic write lock fastpath
indicates a higher level contention at the lock level. Fortunately,
the lock is in a separate cacheline from the other data manipulated by
mbcache. Hence, its performance isn't affected that much by contention
in the lock. It seems like classic write lock can response to lock
availability most rapidly followed by queue write lock and then
spinlock.

The following table show the performance data for the same set of
kernels on a 2-socket 12-core system with HT on:

+----------+---------+---------+---------+
| Kernel | 1 | 2 | 3 |
| HT | on | on | on |
+----------+---------+---------+---------+

+----------+---------+---------+---------+

Apparently, the regular write lock performs even better than the
queue write lock. However, the queue write lock is quite fair, but
the regular write lock is not. So it is not a very good replacement
for ticket spinlock.
