The current Wound-Wait mutex algorithm is actually not Wound-Wait but Wait-Die. Implement also Wound-Wait as a per-ww-class choice. Wound-Wait is, contrary to Wait-Die a preemptive algorithm and is known to generate fewer backoffs. Testing reveals that this is true if the number of simultaneous contending transactions is small. As the number of simultaneous contending threads increases, Wait-Wound becomes inferior to Wait-Die in terms of elapsed time. Possibly due to the larger number of held locks of sleeping transactions. Update documentation and callers. Timings using git://people.freedesktop.org/~thomash/ww_mutex_test tag patch-18-06-15 Each thread runs 100000 batches of lock / unlock 800 ww mutexes randomly chosen out of 100000. Four core Intel x86_64: Algorithm #threads Rollbacks time Wound-Wait 4 ~100 ~17s. Wait-Die 4 ~150000 ~19s. Wound-Wait 16 ~360000 ~109s. Wait-Die 16 ~450000 ~82s.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
