From f295311d25f56e85d931d175756ec3c94559ea16 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Wed, 28 Aug 2019 06:13:38 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] iommu/iova: Avoid false sharing on fq_timer_on [ Upstream commit 0d87308cca2c124f9bce02383f1d9632c9be89c4 ] In commit 14bd9a607f90 ("iommu/iova: Separate atomic variables to improve performance") Jinyu Qi identified that the atomic_cmpxchg() in queue_iova() was causing a performance loss and moved critical fields so that the false sharing would not impact them. However, avoiding the false sharing in the first place seems easy. We should attempt the atomic_cmpxchg() no more than 100 times per second. Adding an atomic_read() will keep the cache line mostly shared. This false sharing came with commit 9a005a800ae8 ("iommu/iova: Add flush timer").
