While both the nr and total times are showed, having the avg lock hold and wait times show in the report is quite useful when working on performance related issues. Furthermore, I find myself constantly doing the calculations manually. In addition, some of the documentation examples were changed to easily update them to show the two new columns. No textual change otherwise, as descriptions match the lockstat output.

LOCK STATISTICS
|
|
|
|
- WHAT
|
|
|
|
As the name suggests, it provides statistics on locks.
|
|
|
|
- WHY
|
|
|
|
Because things like lock contention can severely impact performance.
|
|
|
|
- HOW
|
|
|
|
Lockdep already has hooks in the lock functions and maps lock instances to
|
|
lock classes. We build on that (see Documentation/lockdep-design.txt).
|
|
The graph below shows the relation between the lock functions and the various
|
|
hooks therein.
|
|
|
|
__acquire
|
|
|
|
|
lock _____
|
|
| \
|
|
| __contended
|
|
| |
|
|
| <wait>
|
|
| _______/
|
|
|/
|
|
|
|
|
__acquired
|
|
|
|
|
.
|
|
<hold>
|
|
.
|
|
|
|
|
__release
|
|
|
|
|
unlock
|
|
|
|
lock, unlock - the regular lock functions
|
|
__* - the hooks
|
|
<> - states
|
|
|
|
With these hooks we provide the following statistics:
|
|
|
|
con-bounces - number of lock contention that involved x-cpu data
|
|
contentions - number of lock acquisitions that had to wait
|
|
wait time min - shortest (non-0) time we ever had to wait for a lock
|
|
max - longest time we ever had to wait for a lock
|
|
total - total time we spend waiting on this lock
|
|
avg - average time spent waiting on this lock
|
|
acq-bounces - number of lock acquisitions that involved x-cpu data
|
|
acquisitions - number of times we took the lock
|
|
hold time min - shortest (non-0) time we ever held the lock
|
|
max - longest time we ever held the lock
|
|
total - total time this lock was held
|
|
avg - average time this lock was held
|
|
|
|
These numbers are gathered per lock class, per read/write state (when
|
|
applicable).
|
|
|
|
It also tracks 4 contention points per class. A contention point is a call site
|
|
that had to wait on lock acquisition.
|
|
|
|
- CONFIGURATION
|
|
|
|
Lock statistics are enabled via CONFIG_LOCK_STAT.
|
|
|
|
- USAGE
|
|
|
|
Enable collection of statistics:
|
|
|
|
# echo 1 >/proc/sys/kernel/lock_stat
|
|
|
|
Disable collection of statistics:
|
|
|
|
# echo 0 >/proc/sys/kernel/lock_stat
|
|
|
|
Look at the current lock statistics:
|
|
|
|
( line numbers not part of actual output, done for clarity in the explanation
|
|
below )

This excerpt shows the first two lock class statistics. Line 01 shows the
|
|
output version - each time the format changes this will be updated. Line 02-04
|
|
show the header with column descriptions. Lines 05-18 and 20-31 show the actual
|
|
statistics. These statistics come in two parts; the actual stats separated by a
|
|
short separator (line 08, 13) from the contention points.
|
|
|
|
The first lock (05-18) is a read/write lock, and shows two lines above the
|
|
short separator. The contention points don't match the column descriptors,
|
|
they have two: contentions and [<IP>] symbol. The second set of contention
|
|
points are the points we're contending with.
|
|
|
|
The integer part of the time values is in us.
|
|

Dealing with nested locks, subclasses may appear:

Line 48 shows statistics for the second subclass (/1) of &rq->lock class
|
|
(subclass starts from 0), since in this case, as line 50 suggests,
|
|
double_rq_lock actually acquires a nested lock of two spinlocks.
