      locking/mutex: Restructure wait loop · 5bbd7e64
      由 Peter Zijlstra 提交于 
      Doesn't really matter yet, but pull the HANDOFF and trylock out from
under the wait_lock.

The intention is to add an optimistic spin loop here, which requires
we do not hold the wait_lock, so shuffle code around in preparation.

Also clarify the purpose of taking the wait_lock in the wait loop, its
tempting to want to avoid it altogether, but the cancellation cases
need to to avoid losing wakeups.

      locking/mutex: Add lock handoff to avoid starvation · 9d659ae1
      由 Peter Zijlstra 提交于 
      Implement lock handoff to avoid lock starvation.

Lock starvation is possible because mutex_lock() allows lock stealing,
where a running (or optimistic spinning) task beats the woken waiter
to the acquire.

Lock stealing is an important performance optimization because waiting
for a waiter to wake up and get runtime can take a significant time,
during which everyboy would stall on the lock.

The down-side is of course that it allows for starvation.

This patch has the waiter requesting a handoff if it fails to acquire
the lock upon waking. This re-introduces some of the wait time,
because once we do a handoff we have to wait for the waiter to wake up
again.

A future patch will add a round of optimistic spinning to attempt to
alleviate this penalty, but if that turns out to not be enough, we can
add a counter and only request handoff after multiple failed wakeups.

There are a few tricky implementation details:

 - accepting a handoff must only be done in the wait-loop. Since the
   handoff condition is owner == current, it can easily cause
   recursive locking trouble.

 - accepting the handoff must be careful to provide the ACQUIRE
   semantics.

 - having the HANDOFF bit set on unlock requires care, we must not
   clear the owner.

 - we must be careful to not leave HANDOFF set after we've acquired
   the lock. The tricky scenario is setting the HANDOFF bit on an
   unlocked mutex.

      locking/mutex: Rework mutex::owner · 3ca0ff57
      由 Peter Zijlstra 提交于 
      The current mutex implementation has an atomic lock word and a
non-atomic owner field.

This disparity leads to a number of issues with the current mutex code
as it means that we can have a locked mutex without an explicit owner
(because the owner field has not been set, or already cleared).

This leads to a number of weird corner cases, esp. between the
optimistic spinning and debug code. Where the optimistic spinning
code needs the owner field updated inside the lock region, the debug
code is more relaxed because the whole lock is serialized by the
wait_lock.

Also, the spinning code itself has a few corner cases where we need to
deal with a held lock without an owner field.

Furthermore, it becomes even more of a problem when trying to fix
starvation cases in the current code. We end up stacking special case
on special case.

To solve this rework the basic mutex implementation to be a single
atomic word that contains the owner and uses the low bits for extra
state.

This matches how PI futexes and rt_mutex already work. By having the
owner an integral part of the lock state a lot of the problems
dissapear and we get a better option to deal with starvation cases,
direct owner handoff.

Changing the basic mutex does however invalidate all the arch specific
mutex code; this patch leaves that unused in-place, a later patch will
remove that.

      locking/rwsem: Scan the wait_list for readers only once · 70800c3c
      由 Davidlohr Bueso 提交于 
      When wanting to wakeup readers, __rwsem_mark_wakeup() currently
iterates the wait_list twice while looking to wakeup the first N
queued reader-tasks. While this can be quite inefficient, it was
there such that a awoken reader would be first and foremost
acknowledged by the lock counter.

Keeping the same logic, we can further benefit from the use of
wake_qs and avoid entirely the first wait_list iteration that sets
the counter as wake_up_process() isn't going to occur right away,
and therefore we maintain the counter->list order of going about
things.

Other than saving cycles with O(n) "scanning", this change also
nicely cleans up a good chunk of __rwsem_mark_wakeup(); both
visually and less tedious to read.

For example, the following improvements where seen on some will
it scale microbenchmarks, on a 48-core Haswell:

      locking/rwsem: Return void in __rwsem_mark_wake() · 84b23f9b

      We currently return a rw_semaphore structure, which is the
same lock we passed to the function's argument in the first
place. While there are several functions that choose this
return value, the callers use it, for example, for things
like ERR_PTR. This is not the case for __rwsem_mark_wake(),
and in addition this function is really about the lock
waiters (which we know there are at this point), so its
somewhat odd to be returning the sem structure.

      locking/rwsem: Protect all writes to owner by WRITE_ONCE() · fb6a44f3
      由 Waiman Long 提交于 
      Without using WRITE_ONCE(), the compiler can potentially break a
write into multiple smaller ones (store tearing). So a read from the
same data by another task concurrently may return a partial result.
This can result in a kernel crash if the data is a memory address
that is being dereferenced.

This patch changes all write to rwsem->owner to use WRITE_ONCE()
to make sure that store tearing will not happen. READ_ONCE() may
not be needed for rwsem->owner as long as the value is only used for
comparison and not dereferencing.

      locking/rwsem: Add reader-owned state to the owner field · 19c5d690
      由 Waiman Long 提交于 
      Currently, it is not possible to determine for sure if a reader
owns a rwsem by looking at the content of the rwsem data structure.
This patch adds a new state RWSEM_READER_OWNED to the owner field
to indicate that readers currently own the lock. This enables us to
address the following 2 issues in the rwsem optimistic spinning code:

 1) rwsem_can_spin_on_owner() will disallow optimistic spinning if
    the owner field is NULL which can mean either the readers own
    the lock or the owning writer hasn't set the owner field yet.
    In the latter case, we miss the chance to do optimistic spinning.

 2) While a writer is waiting in the OSQ and a reader takes the lock,
    the writer will continue to spin when out of the OSQ in the main
    rwsem_optimistic_spin() loop as the owner field is NULL wasting
    CPU cycles if some of readers are sleeping.

Adding the new state will allow optimistic spinning to go forward as
long as the owner field is not RWSEM_READER_OWNED and the owner is
running, if set, but stop immediately when that state has been reached.

On a 4-socket Haswell machine running on a 4.6-rc1 based kernel, the
fio test with multithreaded randrw and randwrite tests on the same
file on a XFS partition on top of a NVDIMM were run, the aggregated
bandwidths before and after the patch were as follows:

  Test      BW before patch     BW after patch  % change
  ----      ---------------     --------------  --------
  randrw         988 MB/s          1192 MB/s      +21%
  randwrite     1513 MB/s          1623 MB/s      +7.3%

The perf profile of the rwsem_down_write_failed() function in randrw
before and after the patch were:

   19.95%  5.88%  fio  [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] rwsem_down_write_failed
   14.20%  1.52%  fio  [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] rwsem_down_write_failed

The actual CPU cycles spend in rwsem_down_write_failed() dropped from
5.88% to 1.52% after the patch.

The xfstests was also run and no regression was observed.

      由 Peter Zijlstra 提交于 
      While going over the code I noticed that xchg_tail() is a RELEASE but
had no obvious pairing commented.

It pairs with a somewhat unique address dependency through
decode_tail().

So the store-release of xchg_tail() is paired by the address
dependency of the load of xchg_tail followed by the dereference from
the pointer computed from that load.

The @old -> @prev transformation itself is pure, and therefore does
not depend on external state, so that is immaterial wrt. ordering.

      locking/qspinlock: Fix spin_unlock_wait() some more · 2c610022
      由 Peter Zijlstra 提交于 
      While this prior commit:

  54cf809b ("locking,qspinlock: Fix spin_is_locked() and spin_unlock_wait()")

... fixes spin_is_locked() and spin_unlock_wait() for the usage
in ipc/sem and netfilter, it does not in fact work right for the
usage in task_work and futex.

So while the 2 locks crossed problem:

	spin_lock(A)		spin_lock(B)
	if (!spin_is_locked(B)) spin_unlock_wait(A)
	  foo()			foo();

... works with the smp_mb() injected by both spin_is_locked() and
spin_unlock_wait(), this is not sufficient for:

	flag = 1;
	smp_mb();		spin_lock()
	spin_unlock_wait()	if (!flag)
				  // add to lockless list
	// iterate lockless list

... because in this scenario, the store from spin_lock() can be delayed
past the load of flag, uncrossing the variables and loosing the
guarantee.

This patch reworks spin_is_locked() and spin_unlock_wait() to work in
both cases by exploiting the observation that while the lock byte
store can be delayed, the contender must have registered itself
visibly in other state contained in the word.

It also allows for architectures to override both functions, as PPC
and ARM64 have an additional issue for which we currently have no
generic solution.

      One warning should be enough to get one motivated to fix this. It is
possible that this happens more than once and that starts flooding the
output. Later the prints will be suppressed so we only get half of it.
Depending on the console system used it might not be helpful.

      The mutex owner can get read and written to locklessly.
Use WRITE_ONCE when setting and clearing the owner field
in order to avoid optimizations such as store tearing. This
avoids situations where the owner field gets written to with
multiple stores and another thread could concurrently read
and use a partially written owner value.

      locking/rwsem: Optimize write lock by reducing operations in slowpath · c0fcb6c2
      由 Jason Low 提交于 
      When acquiring the rwsem write lock in the slowpath, we first try
to set count to RWSEM_WAITING_BIAS. When that is successful,
we then atomically add the RWSEM_WAITING_BIAS in cases where
there are other tasks on the wait list. This causes write lock
operations to often issue multiple atomic operations.

We can instead make the list_is_singular() check first, and then
set the count accordingly, so that we issue at most 1 atomic
operation when acquiring the write lock and reduce unnecessary
cacheline contention.

      locking/rwsem: Rework zeroing reader waiter->task · e3851390
      由 Davidlohr Bueso 提交于 
      Readers that are awoken will expect a nil ->task indicating
that a wakeup has occurred. Because of the way readers are
implemented, there's a small chance that the waiter will never
block in the slowpath (rwsem_down_read_failed), and therefore
requires some form of reference counting to avoid the following
scenario:

rwsem_down_read_failed()		rwsem_wake()
  get_task_struct();
  spin_lock_irq(&wait_lock);
  list_add_tail(&waiter.list)
  spin_unlock_irq(&wait_lock);
					  raw_spin_lock_irqsave(&wait_lock)
					  __rwsem_do_wake()
  while (1) {
    set_task_state(TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE);
					    waiter->task = NULL
    if (!waiter.task) // true
      break;
    schedule() // never reached

   __set_task_state(TASK_RUNNING);
 do_exit();
					    wake_up_process(tsk); // boom

... and therefore race with do_exit() when the caller returns.

There is also a mismatch between the smp_mb() and its documentation,
in that the serialization is done between reading the task and the
nil store. Furthermore, in addition to having the overlapping of
loads and stores to waiter->task guaranteed to be ordered within
that CPU, both wake_up_process() originally and now wake_q_add()
already imply barriers upon successful calls, which serves the
comment.

Now, as an alternative to perhaps inverting the checks in the blocker
side (which has its own penalty in that schedule is unavoidable),
with lockless wakeups this situation is naturally addressed and we
can just use the refcount held by wake_q_add(), instead doing so
explicitly. Of course, we must guarantee that the nil store is done
as the _last_ operation in that the task must already be marked for
deletion to not fall into the race above. Spurious wakeups are also
handled transparently in that the task's reference is only removed
when wake_up_q() is actually called _after_ the nil store.

      locking/rwsem: Enable lockless waiter wakeup(s) · 133e89ef
      由 Davidlohr Bueso 提交于 
      As wake_qs gain users, we can teach rwsems about them such that
waiters can be awoken without the wait_lock. This is for both
readers and writer, the former being the most ideal candidate
as we can batch the wakeups shortening the critical region that
much more -- ie writer task blocking a bunch of tasks waiting to
service page-faults (mmap_sem readers).

In general applying wake_qs to rwsem (xadd) is not difficult as
the wait_lock is intended to be released soon _anyways_, with
the exception of when a writer slowpath will proactively wakeup
any queued readers if it sees that the lock is owned by a reader,
in which we simply do the wakeups with the lock held (see comment
in __rwsem_down_write_failed_common()).

Similar to other locking primitives, delaying the waiter being
awoken does allow, at least in theory, the lock to be stolen in
the case of writers, however no harm was seen in this (in fact
lock stealing tends to be a _good_ thing in most workloads), and
this is a tiny window anyways.

Some page-fault (pft) and mmap_sem intensive benchmarks show some
pretty constant reduction in systime (by up to ~8 and ~10%) on a
2-socket, 12 core AMD box. In addition, on an 8-core Westmere doing
page allocations (page_test)

      locking/ww_mutex: Report recursive ww_mutex locking early · 0422e83d
      由 Chris Wilson 提交于 
      Recursive locking for ww_mutexes was originally conceived as an
exception. However, it is heavily used by the DRM atomic modesetting
code. Currently, the recursive deadlock is checked after we have queued
up for a busy-spin and as we never release the lock, we spin until
kicked, whereupon the deadlock is discovered and reported.

A simple solution for the now common problem is to move the recursive
deadlock discovery to the first action when taking the ww_mutex.

      locking/rwsem: Fix down_write_killable() · 04cafed7
      由 Peter Zijlstra 提交于 
      The new signal_pending exit path in __rwsem_down_write_failed_common()
was fingered as breaking his kernel by Tetsuo Handa.

Upon inspection it was found that there are two things wrong with it;

 - it forgets to remove WAITING_BIAS if it leaves the list empty, or
 - it forgets to wake further waiters that were blocked on the now
   removed waiter.

Especially the first issue causes new lock attempts to block and stall
indefinitely, as the code assumes that pending waiters mean there is
an owner that will wake when it releases the lock.
