| H A D | thr_umtx.h | diff 233912 Thu Apr 05 00:34:44 MDT 2012 davidxu umtx operation UMTX_OP_MUTEX_WAKE has a side-effect that it accesses a mutex after a thread has unlocked it, it event writes data to the mutex memory to clear contention bit, there is a race that other threads can lock it and unlock it, then destroy it, so it should not write data to the mutex memory if there isn't any waiter. The new operation UMTX_OP_MUTEX_WAKE2 try to fix the problem. It requires thread library to clear the lock word entirely, then call the WAKE2 operation to check if there is any waiter in kernel, and try to wake up a thread, if necessary, the contention bit is set again by the operation. This also mitgates the chance that other threads find the contention bit and try to enter kernel to compete with each other to wake up sleeping thread, this is unnecessary. With this change, the mutex owner is no longer holding the mutex until it reaches a point where kernel umtx queue is locked, it releases the mutex as soon as possible. Performance is improved when the mutex is contensted heavily. On Intel i3-2310M, the runtime of a benchmark program is reduced from 26.87 seconds to 2.39 seconds, it even is better than UMTX_OP_MUTEX_WAKE which is deprecated now. http://people.freebsd.org/~davidxu/bench/mutex_perf.c |
