We started seeing deterioration in it's performance recently. The test should never take more than 10 microseconds, but we started 5-10% failure rate. Using elimination method, we traced the problem to commit 1b12bbc747560ea68bcc132c3d05699e52271da0 (lockdep: re-annotate scheduler runqueues). When LOCKDEP is disabled, this patch only adds an additional function call to double_unlock_balance(). Hence I inlined double_unlock_balance() and the problem went away. Here is a patch to make this change.
