[Xen-devel] [PATCH 0/2] smp: convert cpu_add_remove_lock int a rw lock

[Roger Pau Monne <roger.pau@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

The main aim of this series is to reduce the pressure around
cpu_add_remove_lock by converting it into a rw lock. Most users of the
lock want to take it in read mode, as they only care about the maps not
changing.

Patch #2 makes the writers take the lock in blocking mode, this is
mainly done to reduce the failure of the CPU plug/unplug operations,
since the lock is more contended now and trylock can easily fail if
there are readers.

Thanks, Roger.
