[ Upstream commit9eab9901b0] We've encountered a performance issue when multiple processors stress {get,put}_mmio_atsd_reg(). These functions contend for mmio_atsd_usage, an unsigned long used as a bitmask. The accesses to mmio_atsd_usage are done using test_and_set_bit_lock() and clear_bit_unlock(). As implemented, both of these will require a (successful) stwcx to that same cache line. What we end up with is thread A, attempting to unlock, being slowed by other threads repeatedly attempting to lock. A's stwcx instructions fail and retry because the memory reservation is lost every time a different thread beats it to the punch. There may be a long-term way to fix this at a larger scale, but for now resolve the immediate problem by gating our call to test_and_set_bit_lock() with one to test_bit(), which is obviously implemented without using a store.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
