* locking/rtmutex: Add a lockdep assert to catch potential nested blockingThomas Gleixner2023-09-201-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There used to be a BUG_ON(current->pi_blocked_on) in the lock acquisition functions, but that vanished in one of the rtmutex overhauls. Bring it back in form of a lockdep assert to catch code paths which take rtmutex based locks with current::pi_blocked_on != NULL.

* locking/rwbase: Mitigate indefinite writer starvationSebastian Andrzej Siewior2023-04-291-9/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On PREEMPT_RT, rw_semaphore and rwlock_t locks are unfair to writers. Readers can indefinitely acquire the lock unless the writer fully acquired the lock, which might never happen if there is always a reader in the critical section owning the lock. Mel Gorman reported that since LTP-20220121 the dio_truncate test case went from having 1 reader to having 16 readers and that number of readers is sufficient to prevent the down_write ever succeeding while readers exist. Eventually the test is killed after 30 minutes as a failure. Mel proposed a timeout to limit how long a writer can be blocked until the reader is forced into the slowpath. Thomas argued that there is no added value by providing this timeout. From a PREEMPT_RT point of view, there are no critical rw_semaphore or rwlock_t locks left where the reader must be preferred. Mitigate indefinite writer starvation by forcing the READER into the slowpath once the WRITER attempts to acquire the lock.

* locking: Apply contention tracepoints in the slow pathNamhyung Kim2022-04-051-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | Adding the lock contention tracepoints in various lock function slow paths. Note that each arch can define spinlock differently, I only added it only to the generic qspinlock for now.

| * locking/rwbase: Take care of ordering guarantee for fastpath readerBoqun Feng2021-09-151-2/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Readers of rwbase can lock and unlock without taking any inner lock, if that happens, we need the ordering provided by atomic operations to satisfy the ordering semantics of lock/unlock. Without that, considering the follow case: { X = 0 initially } CPU 0 CPU 1 ===== ===== rt_write_lock(); X = 1 rt_write_unlock(): atomic_add(READER_BIAS - WRITER_BIAS, ->readers); // ->readers is READER_BIAS. rt_read_lock(): if ((r = atomic_read(->readers)) < 0) // True atomic_try_cmpxchg(->readers, r, r + 1); // succeed. <acquire the read lock via fast path> r1 = X; // r1 may be 0, because nothing prevent the reordering // of "X=1" and atomic_add() on CPU 1. Therefore audit every usage of atomic operations that may happen in a fast path, and add necessary barriers.

* | rtmutex: Wake up the waiters lockless while dropping the read lock.Thomas Gleixner2021-10-011-1/+5
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The rw_semaphore and rwlock_t implementation both wake the waiter while holding the rt_mutex_base::wait_lock acquired. This can be optimized by waking the waiter lockless outside of the locked section to avoid a needless contention on the rt_mutex_base::wait_lock lock. Extend rt_mutex_wake_q_add() to also accept task and state and use it in __rwbase_read_unlock().

* locking/rt: Add base code for RT rw_semaphore and rwlockThomas Gleixner2021-08-171-0/+263
On PREEMPT_RT, rw_semaphores and rwlocks are substituted with an rtmutex and a reader count. The implementation is writer unfair, as it is not feasible to do priority inheritance on multiple readers, but experience has shown that real-time workloads are not the typical workloads which are sensitive to writer starvation. The inner workings of rw_semaphores and rwlocks on RT are almost identical except for the task state and signal handling. rw_semaphores are not state preserving over a contention, they are expected to enter and leave with state == TASK_RUNNING. rwlocks have a mechanism to preserve the state of the task at entry and restore it after unblocking taking potential non-lock related wakeups into account. rw_semaphores can also be subject to signal handling interrupting a blocked state, while rwlocks ignore signals. To avoid code duplication, provide a shared implementation which takes the small difference vs. state and signals into account. The code is included into the relevant rw_semaphore/rwlock base code and compiled for each use case separately.
