From 11a3122f6cf2d988a77eb8883d0fc49cd013a6d5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo Date: Tue, 7 Feb 2012 07:51:30 +0100 Subject: block: strip out locking optimization in put_io_context() put_io_context() performed a complex trylock dancing to avoid deferring ioc release to workqueue. It was also broken on UP because trylock was always assumed to succeed which resulted in unbalanced preemption count. While there are ways to fix the UP breakage, even the most pathological microbench (forced ioc allocation and tight fork/exit loop) fails to show any appreciable performance benefit of the optimization. Strip it out. If there turns out to be workloads which are affected by this change, simpler optimization from the discussion thread can be applied later.
