lockdep: Speed up lockdep_unregister_key() with expedited RCU synchronization
lockdep_unregister_key() is called from critical code paths, including
sections where rtnl_lock() is held. For example, when replacing a qdisc
in a network device, network egress traffic is disabled while
__qdisc_destroy() is called for every network queue.
If lockdep is enabled, __qdisc_destroy() calls lockdep_unregister_key(),
which gets blocked waiting for synchronize_rcu() to complete.
For example, a simple tc command to replace a qdisc could take 13
seconds:
# time /usr/sbin/tc qdisc replace dev eth0 root handle 0x1: mq
real 0m13.195s
user 0m0.001s
sys 0m2.746s
During this time, network egress is completely frozen while waiting for
RCU synchronization.
Use synchronize_rcu_expedited() instead to minimize the impact on
critical operations like network connectivity changes.
This improves 10x the function call to tc, when replacing the qdisc for
a network card.
# time /usr/sbin/tc qdisc replace dev eth0 root handle 0x1: mq
real 0m1.789s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m1.613s
[boqun: Fixed the comment and add more information for the temporary
workaround, and add TODO information for hazptr]
