The arch_spin_value_unlocked of ticket-lock would cause the compiler to
generate inefficient asm code in riscv architecture because of
unnecessary memory access to the contended value.
Before the patch:
------
void lockref_get(struct lockref *lockref)
{
78: fd010113 add sp,sp,-48
7c: 02813023 sd s0,32(sp)
80: 02113423 sd ra,40(sp)
84: 03010413 add s0,sp,48
0000000000000088 <.LBB296>:
CMPXCHG_LOOP(
88: 00053783 ld a5,0(a0)
------
After the patch:
------
void lockref_get(struct lockref *lockref)
{
CMPXCHG_LOOP(
78: 00053783 ld a5,0(a0)
------
After the patch, the lockref_get could get in a fast path instead of the
function's prologue. This is because ticket lock complex logic would
limit compiler optimization for the spinlock fast path, and qspinlock
won't.
The caller of arch_spin_value_unlocked() could benefit from this
change. Currently, the only caller is lockref.
