locking/percpu-rwsem: Add down_read_preempt_disable()
Provide a down_read()/up_read() variant that keeps preemption disabled over the whole thing, when possible. This avoids a needless preemption point for constructs such as: percpu_down_read(&global_rwsem); spin_lock(&lock); ... spin_unlock(&lock); percpu_up_read(&global_rwsem); Which perturbs timings. In particular it was found to cure a performance regression in a follow up patch in fs/locks.c Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <[email protected]> Cc: Linus Torvalds <[email protected]> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <[email protected]> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <[email protected]> Cc: [email protected] Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <[email protected]>
