[PATCH v4 0/2] Avoid synchronize_rcu() for every thread drop in Rust Binder
Posted by Alice Ryhl 1 day, 11 hours ago
Right now Rust Binder calls synchronize_rcu() more often than is
necessary. Most processes do not use epoll at all, so they don't require
rcu here. Back in Kangrejos I came up with a way to avoid this. Idea is
to move the value that needs rcu to a separate allocation that's easy to
kfree_rcu(). We pay the allocation only when the proc uses epoll using
an "upgrade" strategy - most processes don't.

Changes in v4:
- Use SetOnce for PollCondVar variable instead of storing inside
  spinlock. This avoids calling poll_wait() under the spinlock.
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260508-upgrade-poll-v3-0-0c619fe846e8@google.com

Changes in v3:
- This series was almost entirely rewritten to use a different
  implementation strategy. By moving the PollCondVar to the process we
  can avoid the upgrade logic entirely.
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260213-upgrade-poll-v2-0-984a0fb184fb@google.com

Changes in v2:
- Change how Rust Binder handles the lock class key.
- Rebase.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260117-upgrade-poll-v1-0-179437b7bd49@google.com
