[PATCH v2] fs/buffer: Make BH_Uptodate_Lock bit_spin_lock a regular spinlock_t

From: Sebastian Siewior
Date: Fri Nov 15 2019 - 12:54:35 EST


From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Bit spinlocks are problematic if PREEMPT_RT is enabled, because they
disable preemption, which is undesired for latency reasons and breaks when
regular spinlocks are taken within the bit_spinlock locked region because
regular spinlocks are converted to 'sleeping spinlocks' on RT. So RT
replaces the bit spinlocks with regular spinlocks to avoid this problem.
Bit spinlocks are also not covered by lock debugging, e.g. lockdep.

Substitute the BH_Uptodate_Lock bit spinlock with a regular spinlock.

[bigeasy: remove the wrapper and use always spinlock_t and move it into
the padding hole]

v1âv2: Move the spinlock_t to the padding hole as per Jan Kara. pahole says
its total size remained unchanged, before

| atomic_t b_count; /* 96 4 */
|
| /* size: 104, cachelines: 2, members: 12 */
| /* padding: 4 */
| /* last cacheline: 40 bytes */

after

| atomic_t b_count; /* 96 4 */
| spinlock_t uptodate_lock; /* 100 4 */
|
| /* size: 104, cachelines: 2, members: 13 */
| /* last cacheline: 40 bytes */
