From 11599ebac4a249ab3c8b9a535c21db7a51458c0a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kent Overstreet Date: Tue, 7 May 2013 16:18:39 -0700 Subject: aio: make aio_put_req() lockless Freeing a kiocb needed to touch the kioctx for three things: * Pull it off the reqs_active list * Decrementing reqs_active * Issuing a wakeup, if the kioctx was in the process of being freed. This patch moves these to aio_complete(), for a couple reasons: * aio_complete() already has to issue the wakeup, so if we drop the kioctx refcount before aio_complete does its wakeup we don't have to do it twice. * aio_complete currently has to take the kioctx lock, so it makes sense for it to pull the kiocb off the reqs_active list too. * A later patch is going to change reqs_active to include unreaped completions - this will mean allocating a kiocb doesn't have to look at the ringbuffer. So taking the decrement of reqs_active out of kiocb_free() is useful prep work for that patch. This doesn't really affect cancellation, since existing (usb) code that implements a cancel function still calls aio_complete() - we just have to make sure that aio_complete does the necessary teardown for cancelled kiocbs. It does affect code paths where we free kiocbs that were never submitted; they need to decrement reqs_active and pull the kiocb off the reqs_active list. This occurs in two places: kiocb_batch_free(), which is going away in a later patch, and the error path in io_submit_one.
