[ Upstream commit 9eab9901b015f489199105c470de1ffc337cfabb ]
We've encountered a performance issue when multiple processors stress {get,put}_mmio_atsd_reg(). These functions contend for mmio_atsd_usage, an unsigned long used as a bitmask.
The accesses to mmio_atsd_usage are done using test_and_set_bit_lock() and clear_bit_unlock(). As implemented, both of these will require a (successful) stwcx to that same cache line.
What we end up with is thread A, attempting to unlock, being slowed by other threads repeatedly attempting to lock. A's stwcx instructions fail and retry because the memory reservation is lost every time a different thread beats it to the punch.
There may be a long-term way to fix this at a larger scale, but for now resolve the immediate problem by gating our call to test_and_set_bit_lock() with one to test_bit(), which is obviously implemented without using a store.
