34 * The implementation is designed to avoid looping when compatible operations
37 * To acquire a spinlock we first increment counta. Then we check if counta
38 * meets our requirements. For an exclusive spinlock it must be 1, of a
39 * shared spinlock it must either be 1 or the SHARED_SPINLOCK bit must be set.
41 * Shared spinlock failure case: Decrement the count, loop until we can
42 * transition from 0 to SHARED_SPINLOCK|1, or until we find SHARED_SPINLOCK
43 * is set and increment the count.
45 * Exclusive spinlock failure case: While maintaining the count, clear the
46 * SHARED_SPINLOCK flag unconditionally. Then use an atomic add to transfer
47 * the count from the low bits to the high bits of counta. Then loop until
48 * all low bits are 0. Once the low bits drop to 0 we can transfer the
49 * count back with an atomic_cmpset_int(), atomically, and return.

138 * The spin_lock() inline was unable to acquire the lock and calls this
139 * function with spin->counta already incremented, passing (spin->counta - 1)
140 * to the function (the result of the inline's fetchadd).
142 * atomic_swap_int() is the absolute fastest spinlock instruction, at
143 * least on multi-socket systems. All instructions seem to be about
144 * the same on single-socket multi-core systems. However, atomic_swap_int()
145 * does not result in an even distribution of successful acquisitions.
147 * UNFORTUNATELY we cannot really use atomic_swap_int() when also implementing
148 * shared spin locks, so as we do a better job removing contention we've
149 * moved to atomic_cmpset_int() to be able handle multiple states.
151 * Another problem we have is that (at least on the 48-core opteron we test
152 * with) having all 48 cores contesting the same spin lock reduces
153 * performance to around 600,000 ops/sec, verses millions when fewer cores
154 * are going after the same lock.
156 * Backoff algorithms can create even worse starvation problems, and don't
157 * really improve performance when a lot of cores are contending.
159 * Our solution is to allow the data cache to lazy-update by reading it
160 * non-atomically and only attempting to acquire the lock if the lazy read
161 * looks good. This effectively limits cache bus bandwidth. A cpu_pause()
162 * (for intel/amd anyhow) is not strictly needed as cache bus resource use
163 * is governed by the lazy update.
165 * WARNING!!!! Performance matters here, by a huge margin.
