      mutex: Add w/w mutex slowpath debugging · 23010027
      Daniel Vetter 提交于
      Injects EDEADLK conditions at pseudo-random interval, with
      exponential backoff up to UINT_MAX (to ensure that every lock
      operation still completes in a reasonable time).
      
      This way we can test the wound slowpath even for ww mutex users
      where contention is never expected, and the ww deadlock
      avoidance algorithm is only needed for correctness against
      malicious userspace. An example would be protecting kernel
      modesetting properties, which thanks to single-threaded X isn't
      really expected to contend, ever.
      
      I've looked into using the CONFIG_FAULT_INJECTION
      infrastructure, but decided against it for two reasons:
      
      - EDEADLK handling is mandatory for ww mutex users and should
        never affect the outcome of a syscall. This is in contrast to -ENOMEM
        injection. So fine configurability isn't required.
      
      - The fault injection framework only allows to set a simple
        probability for failure. Now the probability that a ww mutex acquire
        stage with N locks will never complete (due to too many injected
        EDEADLK backoffs) is zero. But the expected number of ww_mutex_lock
        operations for the completely uncontended case would be O(exp(N)).
        The per-acuiqire ctx exponential backoff solution choosen here only
        results in O(log N) overhead due to injection and so O(log N * N)
        lock operations. This way we can fail with high probability (and so
        have good test coverage even for fancy backoff and lock acquisition
        paths) without running into patalogical cases.
      
      Note that EDEADLK will only ever be injected when we managed to
      acquire the lock. This prevents any behaviour changes for users
      which rely on the EALREADY semantics.

      mutex: Add support for wound/wait style locks · 040a0a37
      Maarten Lankhorst 提交于
      Wound/wait mutexes are used when other multiple lock
      acquisitions of a similar type can be done in an arbitrary
      order. The deadlock handling used here is called wait/wound in
      the RDBMS literature: The older tasks waits until it can acquire
      the contended lock. The younger tasks needs to back off and drop
      all the locks it is currently holding, i.e. the younger task is
      wounded.
