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.

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. Signed-off-by: -

Instead of inlining __mutex_lock_common() 5 times, once for each {state,ww} variant. Reduce this to two, ww and !ww.

locking/ww_mutex: Optimize ww-mutexes by waking at most one waiter for backoff when acquiring the lock 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 added themselves.

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. Signed-off-by:

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 Signed-off-by: -

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. Signed-off-by:

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). Signed-off-by:

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. Signed-off-by:

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 preemptable unbounded work for realtime.

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.

This is a follow-up of commit: cfd8983f ("x86, locking/spinlocks: Remove ticket (spin)lock implementation") 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. Signed-off-by:

First of all, %*ph specifier allows to dump data in hex format using the pointer to a buffer. This is suitable to use here. Besides that Thomas suggested to move it to critical level and replace __FILE__ by explicit mention of "jumplabel". Signed-off-by:

Frank reported that vrf devices can be created with a table id of 0. This breaks many of the run time table id checks and should not be allowed. Detect this condition at create time and fail with EINVAL. Fixes: 193125db ("net: Introduce VRF device driver") Reported-by:
