      locking/ww_mutex: Optimize ww-mutexes by yielding to other waiters from optimistic spin · c516df97
      Nicolai Hähnle 提交于
      Lock stealing is less beneficial for w/w mutexes since we may just end up
      backing off if we stole from a thread with an earlier acquire stamp that
      already holds another w/w mutex that we also need. So don't spin
      optimistically unless we are sure that there is no other waiter that might
      cause us to back off.
      
      Median timings taken of a contention-heavy GPU workload:
      
      Before:
      
        real    0m52.946s
        user    0m7.272s
        sys     1m55.964s
      
      After:
      
        real    0m53.086s
        user    0m7.360s
        sys     1m46.204s
      
      This particular workload still spends 20%-25% of CPU in mutex_spin_on_owner
      according to perf, but my attempts to further reduce this spinning based on
      various heuristics all lead to an increase in measured wall time despite
      the decrease in sys time.

      locking/ww_mutex: Re-check ww->ctx in the inner optimistic spin loop · 25f13b40
      Nicolai Hähnle 提交于
      In the following scenario, thread #1 should back off its attempt to lock
      ww1 and unlock ww2 (assuming the acquire context stamps are ordered
      accordingly).
      
          Thread #0               Thread #1
          ---------               ---------
                                  successfully lock ww2
          set ww1->base.owner
                                  attempt to lock ww1
                                  confirm ww1->ctx == NULL
                                  enter mutex_spin_on_owner
          set ww1->ctx
      
      What was likely to happen previously is:
      
          attempt to lock ww2
          refuse to spin because
            ww2->ctx != NULL
          schedule()
                                  detect thread #0 is off CPU
                                  stop optimistic spin
                                  return -EDEADLK
                                  unlock ww2
                                  wakeup thread #0
          lock ww2
      
      Now, we are more likely to see:
      
                                  detect ww1->ctx != NULL
                                  stop optimistic spin
                                  return -EDEADLK
                                  unlock ww2
          successfully lock ww2
      
      ... because thread #1 will stop its optimistic spin as soon as possible.
      
      The whole scenario is quite unlikely, since it requires thread #1 to get
      between thread #0 setting the owner and setting the ctx. But since we're
      idling here anyway, the additional check is basically free.
      
      Found by inspection.

      The wait list is sorted by stamp order, and the only waiting task that may
      have to back off is the first waiter with a context.
      
      The regular slow path does not have to wake any other tasks at all, since
      all other waiters that would have to back off were either woken up when
      the waiter was added to the list, or detected the condition before they

      While adding our task as a waiter, detect if another task should back off
      because of us.
      
      With this patch, we establish the invariant that the wait list contains
      at most one (sleeping) waiter with ww_ctx->acquired > 0, and this waiter
      will be the first waiter with a context.
      
      Since only waiters with ww_ctx->acquired > 0 have to back off, this allows
      us to be much more economical with wakeups.

      locking/ww_mutex: Add waiters in stamp order · 6baa5c60
      Nicolai Hähnle 提交于
      Add regular waiters in stamp order. Keep adding waiters that have no
      context in FIFO order and take care not to starve them.
      
      While adding our task as a waiter, back off if we detect that there is
      a waiter with a lower stamp in front of us.
      
      Make sure to call lock_contended even when we back off early.
      
      For w/w mutexes, being first in the wait list is only stable when
      taking the lock without a context. Therefore, the purpose of the first
      flag is split into two: 'first' remains to indicate whether we want to
      spin optimistically, while 'handoff' indicates that we should be
      prepared to accept a handoff.
      
      For w/w locking with a context, we always accept handoffs after the
      first schedule(), to handle the following sequence of events:
      
       1. Task #0 unlocks and hands off to Task #2 which is first in line
      
       2. Task #1 adds itself in front of Task #2
      
       3. Task #2 wakes up and must accept the handoff even though it is no
          longer first in line

      Nicolai Hähnle 提交于
      We will add a new field to struct mutex_waiter.  This field must be
      initialized for all waiters if any waiter uses the ww_use_ctx path.
      
      So there is a trade-off: Keep ww_mutex locking without a context on
      the faster non-use_ww_ctx path, at the cost of adding the
      initialization to all mutex locks (including non-ww_mutexes), or avoid
      the additional cost for non-ww_mutex locks, at the cost of adding
      additional checks to the use_ww_ctx path.
      
      We take the latter choice.  It may be worth eliminating the users of
      ww_mutex_lock(lock, NULL), but there are a lot of them.

      locking/mutex: Fix mutex handoff · e274795e
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      While reviewing the ww_mutex patches, I noticed that it was still
      possible to (incorrectly) succeed for (incorrect) code like:
      
      	mutex_lock(&a);
      	mutex_lock(&a);
      
      This was possible if the second mutex_lock() would block (as expected)
      but then receive a spurious wakeup. At that point it would find itself
      at the front of the queue, request a handoff and instantly claim
      ownership and continue, since owner would point to itself.
      
      Avoid this scenario and simplify the code by introducing a third low
      bit to signal handoff pickup. So once we request handoff, unlock
      clears the handoff bit and sets the pickup bit along with the new
      owner.
      
      This also removes the need for the .handoff argument to
      __mutex_trylock(), since that becomes superfluous with PICKUP.
      
      In order to guarantee enough low bits, ensure task_struct alignment is
      at least L1_CACHE_BYTES (which seems a good ideal regardless).

      locking/percpu-rwsem: Replace waitqueue with rcuwait · 52b94129
      Davidlohr Bueso 提交于
      The use of any kind of wait queue is an overkill for pcpu-rwsems.
      While one option would be to use the less heavy simple (swait)
      flavor, this is still too much for what pcpu-rwsems needs. For one,
      we do not care about any sort of queuing in that the only (rare) time
      writers (and readers, for that matter) are queued is when trying to
      acquire the regular contended rw_sem. There cannot be any further
      queuing as writers are serialized by the rw_sem in the first place.
      
      Given that percpu_down_write() must not be called after exit_notify(),
      we can replace the bulky waitqueue with rcuwait such that a writer
      can wait for its turn to take the lock. As such, we can avoid the
      queue handling and locking overhead.

      sched/wait, RCU: Introduce rcuwait machinery · 8f95c90c
      Davidlohr Bueso 提交于
      rcuwait provides support for (single) RCU-safe task wait/wake functionality,
      with the caveat that it must not be called after exit_notify(), such that
      we avoid racing with rcu delayed_put_task_struct callbacks, task_struct
      being rcu unaware in this context -- for which we similarly have
      task_rcu_dereference() magic, but with different return semantics, which
      can conflict with the wakeup side.
      
      The interfaces are quite straightforward:
      
        rcuwait_wait_event()
        rcuwait_wake_up()
      
      More details are in the comments, but it's perhaps worth mentioning at least,
      that users must provide proper serialization when waiting on a condition, and
      avoid corrupting a concurrent waiter. Also care must be taken between the task
      and the condition for when calling the wakeup -- we cannot miss wakeups. When
      porting users, this is for example, a given when using waitqueues in that
      everything is done under the q->lock. As such, it can remove sources of non

      sched/core: Remove set_task_state() · 642fa448
      Davidlohr Bueso 提交于
      This is a nasty interface and setting the state of a foreign task must
      not be done. As of the following commit:
      
        be628be0 ("bcache: Make gc wakeup sane, remove set_task_state()")
      
      ... everyone in the kernel calls set_task_state() with current, allowing
      the helper to be removed.
      
      However, as the comment indicates, it is still around for those archs
      where computing current is more expensive than using a pointer, at least
      in theory. An important arch that is affected is arm64, however this has
      been addressed now [1] and performance is up to par making no difference
      with either calls.
      
      Of all the callers, if any, it's the locking bits that would care most
      about this -- ie: we end up passing a tsk pointer to a lot of the lock
      slowpath, and setting ->state on that. The following numbers are based
      on two tests: a custom ad-hoc microbenchmark that just measures
      latencies (for ~65 million calls) between get_task_state() vs
      get_current_state().
      
      Secondly for a higher overview, an unlink microbenchmark was used,
      which pounds on a single file with open, close,unlink combos with
      increasing thread counts (up to 4x ncpus). While the workload is quite
      unrealistic, it does contend a lot on the inode mutex or now rwsem.

      x86-64 (known to be fast for get_current()/this_cpu_read_stable() caching)
      and ppc64 (with paca) show similar improvements in the unlink microbenches.
      The small delta for ppc64 (2ms), does not represent the gains on the unlink
      runs. In the case of x86, there was a decent amount of variation in the
      latency runs, but always within a 20 to 50ms increase), ppc was more constant.

      The static_key structure 'paravirt_ticketlocks_enabled' is now removed as it is
      no longer used.
      
      As a result, the init functions kvm_spinlock_init_jump() and
      xen_init_spinlocks_jump() are also removed.
      
      A simple build and boot test was done to verify it.

      locking/spinlocks: Remove the unused spin_lock_bh_nested() API · 607904c3
      Waiman Long 提交于
      The spin_lock_bh_nested() API is defined but is not used anywhere
      in the kernel. So all spin_lock_bh_nested() and related APIs are
      now removed.

      Merge fixes from Andrew Morton:
       "27 fixes.
      
        There are three patches that aren't actually fixes. They're simple
        function renamings which are nice-to-have in mainline as ongoing net
        development depends on them."

      Pull networking fixes from David Miller:
      
       1) Fix rtlwifi crash, from Larry Finger.
      
       2) Memory disclosure in appletalk ipddp routing code, from Vlad
          Tsyrklevich.
      
       3) r8152 can erroneously split an RX packet into multiple URBs if the
          Rx FIFO is not empty when we suspend. Fix this by waiting for the
          FIFO to empty before suspending. From Hayes Wang.
      
       4) Two GRO fixes (enter slow path when not enough SKB tail room exists,
          disable frag0 optimizations when there are IPV6 extension headers)
          from Eric Dumazet and Herbert Xu.
      
       5) A series of mlx5e bug fixes (do source udp port offloading for
          tunnels properly, Ip fragment matching fixes, handling firmware
          errors properly when installing TC rules, etc.) from Saeed Mahameed,
          Or Gerlitz, Roi Dayan, Hadar Hen Zion, Gil Rockah, and Daniel
          Jurgens.
