LOCK STATISTICS
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- WHAT
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As the name suggests, it provides statistics on locks.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- WHY
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Because things like lock contention can severely impact performance.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- HOW
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Lockdep already has hooks in the lock functions and maps lock instances to
|
||
|
|
lock classes. We build on that. The graph below shows the relation between
|
||
|
|
the lock functions and the various hooks therein.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|

||

|

__release
|
||
|
|
|
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
lock, unlock - the regular lock functions
|
||
|
|
__* - the hooks
|
||
|
|
<> - states
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
With these hooks we provide the following statistics:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
con-bounces - number of lock contention that involved x-cpu data
|
||
|
|
contentions - number of lock acquisitions that had to wait
|
||
|
|
wait time min - shortest (non-0) time we ever had to wait for a lock
|
||
|
|
max - longest time we ever had to wait for a lock
|
||
|
|
total - total time we spend waiting on this lock
|
||
|
|
acq-bounces - number of lock acquisitions that involved x-cpu data
|
||
|
|
acquisitions - number of times we took the lock
|
||
|
|
hold time min - shortest (non-0) time we ever held the lock
|
||
|
|
max - longest time we ever held the lock
|
||
|
|
total - total time this lock was held
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
From these number various other statistics can be derived, such as:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
hold time average = hold time total / acquisitions
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
These numbers are gathered per lock class, per read/write state (when
|
||
|
|
applicable).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It also tracks 4 contention points per class. A contention point is a call site
|
||
|
|
that had to wait on lock acquisition.

||

This excerpt shows the first two lock class statistics. Line 01 shows the
|
||
|
|
output version - each time the format changes this will be updated. Line 02-04
|
||
|
|
show the header with column descriptions. Lines 05-18 and 20-31 show the actual
|
||
|
|
statistics. These statistics come in two parts; the actual stats separated by a
|
||
|
|
short separator (line 08, 13) from the contention points.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The first lock (05-18) is a read/write lock, and shows two lines above the
|
||
|
|
short separator. The contention points don't match the column descriptors,
|
||
|
|
they have two: contentions and [<IP>] symbol. The second set of contention
|
||
|
|
points are the points we're contending with.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The integer part of the time values is in us.
