      sched: Allow wait_on_bit_action() functions to support a timeout · c1221321
      NeilBrown 提交于
      It is currently not possible for various wait_on_bit functions
      to implement a timeout.
      
      While the "action" function that is called to do the waiting
      could certainly use schedule_timeout(), there is no way to carry
      forward the remaining timeout after a false wake-up.
      As false-wakeups a clearly possible at least due to possible
      hash collisions in bit_waitqueue(), this is a real problem.
      
      The 'action' function is currently passed a pointer to the word
      containing the bit being waited on.  No current action functions
      use this pointer.  So changing it to something else will be a
      little noisy but will have no immediate effect.
      
      This patch changes the 'action' function to take a pointer to
      the "struct wait_bit_key", which contains a pointer to the word
      containing the bit so nothing is really lost.
      
      It also adds a 'private' field to "struct wait_bit_key", which
      is initialized to zero.
      
      An action function can now implement a timeout with something
      like
      
      static int timed_out_waiter(struct wait_bit_key *key)
      {
      	unsigned long waited;
      	if (key->private == 0) {
      		key->private = jiffies;
      		if (key->private == 0)
      			key->private -= 1;
      	}
      	waited = jiffies - key->private;
      	if (waited > 10 * HZ)
      		return -EAGAIN;
      	schedule_timeout(waited - 10 * HZ);
      	return 0;
      }
      
      If any other need for context in a waiter were found it would be
      easy to use ->private for some other purpose, or even extend
      "struct wait_bit_key".
      
      My particular need is to support timeouts in nfs_release_page()
      to avoid deadlocks with loopback mounted NFS.
      
      While wait_on_bit_timeout() would be a cleaner interface, it
      will not meet my need.  I need the timeout to be sensitive to
      the state of the connection with the server, which could change.
       So I need to use an 'action' interface.

      sched: Remove proliferation of wait_on_bit() action functions · 74316201
      NeilBrown 提交于
      The current "wait_on_bit" interface requires an 'action'
      function to be provided which does the actual waiting.
      There are over 20 such functions, many of them identical.
      Most cases can be satisfied by one of just two functions, one
      which uses io_schedule() and one which just uses schedule().
      
      So:
       Rename wait_on_bit and        wait_on_bit_lock to
              wait_on_bit_action and wait_on_bit_lock_action
       to make it explicit that they need an action function.
      
       Introduce new wait_on_bit{,_lock} and wait_on_bit{,_lock}_io
       which are *not* given an action function but implicitly use
       a standard one.
       The decision to error-out if a signal is pending is now made
       based on the 'mode' argument rather than being encoded in the action
       function.
      
       All instances of the old wait_on_bit and wait_on_bit_lock which
       can use the new version have been changed accordingly and their
       action functions have been discarded.
       wait_on_bit{_lock} does not return any specific error code in the
       event of a signal so the caller must check for non-zero and
       interpolate their own error code as appropriate.
      
      The wait_on_bit() call in __fscache_wait_on_invalidate() was
      ambiguous as it specified TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE but used
      fscache_wait_bit_interruptible as an action function.
      David Howells confirms this should be uniformly
      "uninterruptible"
      
      The main remaining user of wait_on_bit{,_lock}_action is NFS
      which needs to use a freezer-aware schedule() call.
      
      A comment in fs/gfs2/glock.c notes that having multiple 'action'
      functions is useful as they display differently in the 'wchan'
      field of 'ps'. (and /proc/$PID/wchan).
      As the new bit_wait{,_io} functions are tagged "__sched", they
      will not show up at all, but something higher in the stack.  So
      the distinction will still be visible, only with different
      function names (gds2_glock_wait versus gfs2_glock_dq_wait in the
      gfs2/glock.c case).
      
      Since first version of this patch (against 3.15) two new action
      functions appeared, on in NFS and one in CIFS.  CIFS also now
      uses an action function that makes the same freezer aware
      schedule call as NFS.
