This reverts commit bf726eab37
, as it has
been reported to cause a regression with processes stuck in __down(),
apparently because some missing wakeup.
Quoth Sven Wegener:
"I'm currently investigating a regression that has showed up with my
last git pull yesterday. Bisecting the commits showed bf726e
"semaphore: fix" to be the culprit, reverting it fixed the issue.
Symptoms: During heavy filesystem usage (e.g. a kernel compile) I get
several compiler processes in uninterruptible sleep, blocking all i/o
on the filesystem. System is an Intel Core 2 Quad running a 64bit
kernel and userspace. Filesystem is xfs on top of lvm. See below for
the output of sysrq-w."
See
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/5/10/45
for full report.
In the meantime, we can just fix the BKL performance regression by
reverting back to the good old BKL spinlock implementation instead,
since any sleeping lock will generally perform badly, especially if it
tries to be fair.

/*
|
|
* Some notes on the implementation:
|
|
*
|
|
* The spinlock controls access to the other members of the semaphore.
|
|
* down_trylock() and up() can be called from interrupt context, so we
|
|
* have to disable interrupts when taking the lock. It turns out various
|
|
* parts of the kernel expect to be able to use down() on a semaphore in
|
|
* interrupt context when they know it will succeed, so we have to use
|
|
* irqsave variants for down(), down_interruptible() and down_killable()
|
|
* too.
|
|
*
|
|
* The ->count variable represents how many more tasks can acquire this
|
|
* semaphore. If it's zero, there may be tasks waiting on the wait_list.
