Merge tag 'xfs-for-linus-4.10-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dgc/linux-xfs
Pull xfs updates from Dave Chinner:
"There is quite a varied bunch of stuff in this update, and some of it
you will have already merged through the ext4 tree which imported the
dax-4.10-iomap-pmd topic branch from the XFS tree.
There is also a new direct IO implementation that uses the iomap
infrastructure. It's much simpler, faster, and has lower IO latency
than the existing direct IO infrastructure.
Summary:
- DAX PMD faults via iomap infrastructure
- Direct-io support in iomap infrastructure
- removal of now-redundant XFS inode iolock, replaced with VFS

Since commit:
4bcc595ccd ("printk: reinstate KERN_CONT for printing continuation lines")
printk() requires KERN_CONT to continue log messages. Lots of printk()
in lockdep.c and print_ip_sym() don't have it. As the result lockdep
reports are completely messed up.
Add missing KERN_CONT and inline print_ip_sym() where necessary.
Example of a messed up report:
0-rc5+ #41 Not tainted
-------------------------------------------------------
syz-executor0/5036 is trying to acquire lock:
(
rtnl_mutex

&net->packet.sklist_lock

, at:
[<ffffffff873541a6>] packet_diag_dump+0x1a6/0x1920
which lock already depends on the new lock.
the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

(
&net->packet.sklist_lock

David reported a futex/rtmutex state corruption. It's caused by the
following problem:
CPU0 CPU1 CPU2
l->owner=T1
rt_mutex_lock(l)
lock(l->wait_lock)
l->owner = T1 | HAS_WAITERS;
enqueue(T2)
boost()
unlock(l->wait_lock)
schedule()
rt_mutex_lock(l)
lock(l->wait_lock)
l->owner = T1 | HAS_WAITERS;
enqueue(T3)
boost()
unlock(l->wait_lock)
schedule()
signal(->T2) signal(->T3)
lock(l->wait_lock)
dequeue(T2)
deboost()
unlock(l->wait_lock)
lock(l->wait_lock)
dequeue(T3)
===> wait list is now empty
deboost()
unlock(l->wait_lock)
lock(l->wait_lock)
fixup_rt_mutex_waiters()
if (wait_list_empty(l)) {
owner = l->owner & ~HAS_WAITERS;
l->owner = owner
==> l->owner = T1
}
lock(l->wait_lock)
rt_mutex_unlock(l) fixup_rt_mutex_waiters()
if (wait_list_empty(l)) {
owner = l->owner & ~HAS_WAITERS;
cmpxchg(l->owner, T1, NULL)
===> Success (l->owner = NULL)
l->owner = owner
==> l->owner = T1
}
That means the problem is caused by fixup_rt_mutex_waiters() which does the
RMW to clear the waiters bit unconditionally when there are no waiters in
the rtmutexes rbtree.
This can be fatal: A concurrent unlock can release the rtmutex in the
fastpath because the waiters bit is not set. If the cmpxchg() gets in the
middle of the RMW operation then the previous owner, which just unlocked
the rtmutex is set as the owner again when the write takes place after the
successfull cmpxchg().
The solution is rather trivial: verify that the owner member of the rtmutex
has the waiters bit set before clearing it. This does not require a
cmpxchg() or other atomic operations because the waiters bit can only be
set and cleared with the rtmutex wait_lock held. It's also safe against the
fast path unlock attempt. The unlock attempt via cmpxchg() will either see
the bit set and take the slowpath or see the bit cleared and release it
atomically in the fastpath.
It's remarkable that the test program provided by David triggers on ARM64
and MIPS64 really quick, but it refuses to reproduce on x86-64, while the
problem exists there as well. That refusal might explain that this got not
discovered earlier despite the bug existing from day one of the rtmutex
implementation more than 10 years ago.
Thanks to David for meticulously instrumenting the code and providing the
information which allowed to decode this subtle problem.

Christoph requested lockdep_assert_held() variants that distinguish
between held-for-read or held-for-write.
Provide:
int lock_is_held_type(struct lockdep_map *lock, int read)
which takes the same argument as lock_acquire(.read) and matches it to
the held_lock instance.
Use of this function should be gated by the debug_locks variable. When
that is 0 the return value of the lock_is_held_type() function is
undefined. This is done to allow both negative and positive tests for
holding locks.
By default we provide (positive) lockdep_assert_held{,_exclusive,_read}()
macros.

An over-committed guest with more vCPUs than pCPUs has a heavy overload
in osq_lock().
This is because if vCPU-A holds the osq lock and yields out, vCPU-B ends
up waiting for per_cpu node->locked to be set. IOW, vCPU-B waits for
vCPU-A to run and unlock the osq lock.
Use the new vcpu_is_preempted(cpu) interface to detect if a vCPU is
currently running or not, and break out of the spin-loop if so.

Currently the wake_q data structure is defined by the WAKE_Q() macro.
This macro, however, looks like a function doing something as "wake" is
a verb. Even checkpatch.pl was confused as it reported warnings like
WARNING: Missing a blank line after declarations
#548: FILE: kernel/futex.c:3665:

+ WAKE_Q(wake_q);
This patch renames the WAKE_Q() macro to DEFINE_WAKE_Q() which clarifies
what the macro is doing and eliminates the checkpatch.pl warnings.

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.

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.

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.

stop_two_cpus() and stop_cpus() use stop_cpus_lock to avoid the deadlock,
we need to ensure that the stopper functions can't be queued "backwards"
from one another. This doesn't look nice; if we use lglock then we do not
really need stopper->lock, cpu_stop_queue_work() could use lg_local_lock()
under local_irq_save().
OTOH it would be even better to avoid lglock in stop_machine.c and remove
lg_double_lock(). This patch adds "bool stop_cpus_in_progress" set/cleared
by queue_stop_cpus_work(), and changes cpu_stop_queue_two_works() to busy
wait until it is cleared.
queue_stop_cpus_work() sets stop_cpus_in_progress = T lockless, but after
it queues a work on CPU1 it must be visible to stop_two_cpus(CPU1, CPU2)
which checks it under the same lock. And since stop_two_cpus() holds the
2nd lock too, queue_stop_cpus_work() can not clear stop_cpus_in_progress
if it is also going to queue a work on CPU2, it needs to take that 2nd
lock to do this.

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.

Other runs that saw improvements include context_switch and pipe; and
as expected, this is particularly highlighted on larger thread counts
as it becomes more expensive to walk the list twice.

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.

Currently the percpu-rwsem switches to (global) atomic ops while a
writer is waiting; which could be quite a while and slows down
releasing the readers.
This patch cures this problem by ordering the reader-state vs
reader-count (see the comments in __percpu_down_read() and
percpu_down_write()). This changes a global atomic op into a full
memory barrier, which doesn't have the global cacheline contention.
This also enables using the percpu-rwsem with rcu_sync disabled in order
to bias the implementation differently, reducing the writer latency by
adding some cost to readers.

[ Fixed modular build. ]
Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
Currently there are overlap in the pvqspinlock wait_again and
spurious_wakeup stat counters. Because of lock stealing, it is
no longer possible to accurately determine if spurious wakeup has
happened in the queue head. As they track both the queue node and
queue head status, it is also hard to tell how many of those comes
from the queue head and how many from the queue node.
This patch changes the accounting rules so that spurious wakeup is
only tracked in the queue node. The wait_again count, however, is
only tracked in the queue head when the vCPU failed to acquire the
lock after a vCPU kick. This should give a much better indication of
the wait-kick dynamics in the queue node and the queue head.

if (!lp) {
lp = pv_hash(lock, pn);

In this case, lock holder inserts the pv_node of queue head into the

In __rwsem_do_wake(), the reader wakeup code will assume a writer
has stolen the lock if the active reader/writer count is not 0.
However, this is not as reliable an indicator as the original
"< RWSEM_WAITING_BIAS" check. If another reader is present, the code
will still break out and exit even if the writer is gone. This patch
changes it to check the same "< RWSEM_WAITING_BIAS" condition to
reduce the chance of false positive.

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.

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.

Convert the rwsem count variable to an atomic_long_t since we use it
as an atomic variable. This also allows us to remove the

level of indirection. In follow up patches, we also remove the

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.

While this prior commit:
54cf809b95 ("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.

Use WRITE_ONCE when setting and clearing the owner field
in order to avoid optimizations such as store tearing. This

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

The problem with the existing lock pinning is that each pin is of
value 1; this mean you can simply unpin if you know its pinned,
without having any extra information.
This scheme generates a random (16 bit) cookie for each pin and
requires this same cookie to unpin. This means you have to keep the
cookie in context.
No objsize difference for !LOCKDEP kernels.

In ext4, there is a race condition between changing inode journal mode
and ext4_writepages(). While ext4_writepages() is executed on a
non-journalled mode inode, the inode's journal mode could be enabled
by ioctl() and then, some pages dirtied after switching the journal
mode will be still exposed to ext4_writepages() in non-journaled mode.
To resolve this problem, we use fs-wide per-cpu rw semaphore by Jan
Kara's suggestion because we don't want to waste ext4_inode_info's
space for this extra rare case.

lock_chain::base is used to store an index into the chain_hlocks[]
array, however that array contains more elements than can be indexed
using the u16.
Change the lock_chain structure to use a bitfield to encode the data
it needs and add BUILD_BUG_ON() assertions to check the fields are
wide enough.
Also, for DEBUG_LOCKDEP, assert that we don't run out of elements of
that array; as that would wreck the collision detectoring.

Introduce a generic implementation necessary for down_write_killable().
This is a trivial extension of the already existing down_write() call
which can be interrupted by SIGKILL. This patch doesn't provide
down_write_killable() yet because arches have to provide the necessary
pieces before.
rwsem_down_write_failed() which is a generic slow path for the
write lock is extended to take a task state and renamed to
__rwsem_down_write_failed_common(). The return value is either a valid
semaphore pointer or ERR_PTR(-EINTR).
rwsem_down_write_failed_killable() is exported as a new way to wait for
the lock and be killable.
For rwsem-spinlock implementation the current __down_write() it updated
in a similar way as __rwsem_down_write_failed_common() except it doesn't
need new exports just visible __down_write_killable().
Architectures which are not using the generic rwsem implementation are
supposed to provide their __down_write_killable() implementation and
use rwsem_down_write_failed_killable() for the slow path.

It has been found that paths that invoke cleanups through
lock_torture_cleanup() can trigger NULL pointer dereferencing
bugs during the statistics printing phase. This is mainly
because we should not be calling into statistics before we are
sure things have been set up correctly.
Specifically, early checks (and the need for handling this in
the cleanup call) only include parameter checks and basic
statistics allocation. Once we start write/read kthreads
we then consider the test as started. As such, update the function
in question to check for cxt.lwsa writer stats, if not set,
we either have a bogus parameter or -ENOMEM situation and
therefore only need to deal with general torture calls.

For the case of rtmutex torturing we will randomly call into the

deboosted before stopping. In such cases the task may or may not have
already been boosted, and therefore the NULL being explicitly passed
can occur anywhere. Currently we only assume that the task will is
at a higher prio, and in consequence, dereference a NULL pointer.

kcov provides code coverage collection for coverage-guided fuzzing
(randomized testing). Coverage-guided fuzzing is a testing technique
that uses coverage feedback to determine new interesting inputs to a
system. A notable user-space example is AFL
(http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/afl/). However, this technique is not
widely used for kernel testing due to missing compiler and kernel
support.
kcov does not aim to collect as much coverage as possible. It aims to
collect more or less stable coverage that is function of syscall inputs.
To achieve this goal it does not collect coverage in soft/hard
interrupts and instrumentation of some inherently non-deterministic or
non-interesting parts of kernel is disbled (e.g. scheduler, locking).
Currently there is a single coverage collection mode (tracing), but the
API anticipates additional collection modes. Initially I also
implemented a second mode which exposes coverage in a fixed-size hash
table of counters (what Quentin used in his original patch). I've
dropped the second mode for simplicity.
This patch adds the necessary support on kernel side. The complimentary
compiler support was added in gcc revision 231296.
We've used this support to build syzkaller system call fuzzer, which has
found 90 kernel bugs in just 2 months:
https://github.com/google/syzkaller/wiki/Found-Bugs
We've also found 30+ bugs in our internal systems with syzkaller.
Another (yet unexplored) direction where kcov coverage would greatly
help is more traditional "blob mutation". For example, mounting a
random blob as a filesystem, or receiving a random blob over wire.
Why not gcov. Typical fuzzing loop looks as follows: (1) reset
coverage, (2) execute a bit of code, (3) collect coverage, repeat. A
typical coverage can be just a dozen of basic blocks (e.g. an invalid
input). In such context gcov becomes prohibitively expensive as
reset/collect coverage steps depend on total number of basic
blocks/edges in program (in case of kernel it is about 2M). Cost of
kcov depends only on number of executed basic blocks/edges. On top of
that, kernel requires per-thread coverage because there are always
background threads and unrelated processes that also produce coverage.
With inlined gcov instrumentation per-thread coverage is not possible.
kcov exposes kernel PCs and control flow to user-space which is
insecure. But debugfs should not be mapped as user accessible.
Based on a patch by Quentin Casasnovas.

The chain_key hashing macro iterate_chain_key(key1, key2) does not
generate a new different value if both key1 and key2 are 0. In that
case the generated value is again 0. This can lead to collisions which
can result in lockdep not detecting deadlocks or circular
dependencies.
Avoid the problem by using class_idx (1-based) instead of class id
(0-based) as an input for the hashing macro 'key2' in
iterate_chain_key(key1, key2).
The use of class id created collisions in cases like the following:
1.- Consider an initial state in which no class has been acquired yet.
Under these circumstances an AA deadlock will not be detected by
lockdep:
lock [key1,key2]->new key (key1=old chain_key, key2=id)
--------------------------
A [0,0]->0
A [0,0]->0 (collision)
The newly generated chain_key collides with the one used before and as
a result the check for a deadlock is skipped
A simple test using liblockdep and a pthread mutex confirms the
problem: (omitting stack traces)
new class 0xe15038: 0x7ffc64950f20
acquire class [0xe15038] 0x7ffc64950f20
acquire class [0xe15038] 0x7ffc64950f20
hash chain already cached, key: 0000000000000000 tail class:
[0xe15038] 0x7ffc64950f20
2.- Consider an ABBA in 2 different tasks and no class yet acquired.
T1 [key1,key2]->new key T2[key1,key2]->new key
-- --
A [0,0]->0
B [0,1]->1
B [0,1]->1 (collision)
A
In this case the collision prevents lockdep from creating the new
dependency A->B. This in turn results in lockdep not detecting the
circular dependency when T2 acquires A.

Make use of wake-queues and enable the wakeup to occur after releasing the
wait_lock. This is similar to what we do with rtmutex top waiter,
slightly shortening the critical region and allow other waiters to
acquire the wait_lock sooner. In low contention cases it can also help
the recently woken waiter to find the wait_lock available (fastpath)
when it continues execution.

Similar to commit b4b29f9485 ("locking/osq: Fix ordering of node
initialisation in osq_lock") the use of xchg_acquire() is
fundamentally broken with MCS like constructs.
Furthermore, it turns out we rely on the global transitivity of this
operation because the unlock path observes the pointer with a
READ_ONCE(), not an smp_load_acquire().
This is non-critical because the MCS code isn't actually used and
mostly serves as documentation, a stepping stone to the more complex
things we've build on top of the idea.

Fix this ordering issue permanently: change lockdep so that it uses hlists
for the hash tables. Unlike a list_head, an hlist_head is in its
initialized state when it is all-zeroes, so lockdep is ready for operation
immediately upon boot - lockdep_init() need not have run.
The patch will also save some memory.
Probably lockdep_init() and lockdep_initialized can be done away with now.

check_prev_add() caches saved stack trace in static trace variable
to avoid duplicate save_trace() calls in dependencies involving trylocks.
But that caching logic contains a bug. We may not save trace on first
iteration due to early return from check_prev_add(). Then on the
second iteration when we actually need the trace we don't save it
because we think that we've already saved it.
Let check_prev_add() itself control when stack is saved.
There is another bug. Trace variable is protected by graph lock.
But we can temporary release graph lock during printing.
Fix this by invalidating cached stack trace when we release graph lock.

Sasha reported a lockdep splat about a potential deadlock between RCU boosting

local_irq_disable()
spin_lock(&timer->it_lock)
spin_lock(&rcu->mutex.wait_lock)
--> Interrupt
spin_lock(&timer->it_lock)
This is caused by the following code sequence on CPU1
rcu_read_lock()
x = lookup();
if (x)
spin_lock_irqsave(&x->it_lock);
rcu_read_unlock();
return x;
We could fix that in the posix timer code by keeping rcu read locked across
the spinlocked and irq disabled section, but the above sequence is common and
there is no reason not to support it.
Taking rt_mutex.wait_lock irq safe prevents the deadlock.

This is because in osq_lock we initialise the node for the current CPU:
node->locked = 0;
node->next = NULL;
node->cpu = curr;
and then publish the current CPU in the lock tail:
old = atomic_xchg_acquire(&lock->tail, curr);
Once the update to lock->tail is visible to another CPU, the node is
then live and can be both read and updated by concurrent lockers.
Unfortunately, the ACQUIRE semantics of the xchg operation mean that
there is no guarantee the contents of the node will be visible before
lock tail is updated. This can lead to lock corruption when, for
example, a concurrent locker races to set the next field.

In an overcommitted guest where some vCPUs have to be halted to make
forward progress in other areas, it is highly likely that a vCPU later
in the spinlock queue will be spinning while the ones earlier in the
queue would have been halted. The spinning in the later vCPUs is then
just a waste of precious CPU cycles because they are not going to
get the lock soon as the earlier ones have to be woken up and take
their turn to get the lock.
This patch implements an adaptive spinning mechanism where the vCPU
will call pv_wait() if the previous vCPU is not running.
Linux kernel builds were run in KVM guest on an 8-socket, 4
cores/socket Westmere-EX system and a 4-socket, 8 cores/socket
Haswell-EX system. Both systems are configured to have 32 physical
CPUs. The kernel build times before and after the patch were:

performance improvement.

This patch allows one attempt for the lock waiter to steal the lock
when entering the PV slowpath. To prevent lock starvation, the pending
bit will be set by the queue head vCPU when it is in the active lock
spinning loop to disable any lock stealing attempt. This helps to
reduce the performance penalty caused by lock waiter preemption while
not having much of the downsides of a real unfair lock.
The pv_wait_head() function was renamed as pv_wait_head_or_lock()
as it was modified to acquire the lock before returning. This is
necessary because of possible lock stealing attempts from other tasks.
Linux kernel builds were run in KVM guest on an 8-socket, 4

via the debugfs filesystem under the qlockstat directory. When the
corresponding debugfs files are read, summation and computing of the
required data are then performed.
The measured latencies for different CPUs are:
CPU Wakeup Kicking
--- ------ -------
Haswell-EX 63.6us 7.4us
Westmere-EX 67.6us 9.3us
The measured latencies varied a bit from run-to-run. The wakeup
latency is much higher than the kicking latency.
A sample of statistical counters after system bootup (with vCPU
overcommit) was:
pv_hash_hops=1.00
pv_kick_unlock=1148
pv_kick_wake=1146
pv_latency_kick=11040
pv_latency_wake=194840
pv_spurious_wakeup=7
pv_wait_again=4
pv_wait_head=23
pv_wait_node=1129

Introduce smp_cond_acquire() which combines a control dependency and a
read barrier to form acquire semantics.
This primitive has two benefits:
- it documents control dependencies,
- its typically cheaper than using smp_load_acquire() in a loop.

The unlock function in queued spinlocks was optimized for better
performance on bare metal systems at the expense of virtualized guests.
For x86-64 systems, the unlock call needs to go through a
PV_CALLEE_SAVE_REGS_THUNK() which saves and restores 8 64-bit
registers before calling the real __pv_queued_spin_unlock()
function. The thunk code may also be in a separate cacheline from
__pv_queued_spin_unlock().
This patch optimizes the PV unlock code path by:
1) Moving the unlock slowpath code from the fastpath into a separate
__pv_queued_spin_unlock_slowpath() function to make the fastpath
as simple as possible..
2) For x86-64, hand-coded an assembly function to combine the register
saving thunk code with the fastpath code. Only registers that
are used in the fastpath will be saved and restored. If the
fastpath fails, the slowpath function will be called via another
PV_CALLEE_SAVE_REGS_THUNK(). For 32-bit, it falls back to the C
__pv_queued_spin_unlock() code as the thunk saves and restores
only one 32-bit register.
With a microbenchmark of 5M lock-unlock loop, the table below shows
the execution times before and after the patch with different number
of threads in a VM running on a 32-core Westmere-EX box with x86-64

A queue head CPU, after acquiring the lock, will have to notify
the next CPU in the wait queue that it has became the new queue
head. This involves loading a new cacheline from the MCS node of the
next CPU. That operation can be expensive and add to the latency of
locking operation.
This patch addes code to optmistically prefetch the next MCS node
cacheline if the next pointer is defined and it has been spinning
for the MCS lock for a while. This reduces the locking latency and
improves the system throughput.
The performance change will depend on whether the prefetch overhead
can be hidden within the latency of the lock spin loop. On really
short critical section, there may not be performance gain at all. With
longer critical section, however, it was found to have a performance
boost of 5-10% over a range of different queue depths with a spinlock
loop microbenchmark.

__GFP_WAIT has been used to identify atomic context in callers that hold
spinlocks or are in interrupts. They are expected to be high priority and
have access one of two watermarks lower than "min" which can be referred
to as the "atomic reserve". __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first
lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve".
Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options
were available. Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where
an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic
reserves.
This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic,
cannot sleep and have no alternative. High priority users continue to use
__GFP_HIGH. __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and
are willing to enter direct reclaim. __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify
callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim. __GFP_WAIT is
redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake
kswapd for background reclaim.
This patch then converts a number of sites
o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory
pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag.
o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear
__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall
into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves
are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress.
o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the
helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because
checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false
positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where the code intent
is clearer if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is used instead of the helper due to
flag manipulations.
o Callers that built their own GFP flags instead of starting with GFP_KERNEL
and friends now also need to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM.
The first key hazard to watch out for is callers that removed __GFP_WAIT
and was depending on access to atomic reserves for inconspicuous reasons.
In some cases it may be appropriate for them to use __GFP_HIGH.
The second key hazard is callers that assembled their own combination of
GFP flags instead of starting with something like GFP_KERNEL. They may
now wish to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. It's almost certainly harmless
if it's missed in most cases as other activity will wake kswapd.

Currently down_write/up_write calls synchronize_sched_expedited()
twice, which is evil. Change this code to rely on rcu-sync primitives.
This avoids the _expedited "big hammer", and this can be faster in
the contended case or even in the case when a single thread does
down_write/up_write in a loop.
Of course, a single down_write() will take more time, but otoh it

Real time mutexes is one of the few general primitives
that we do not have in locktorture. Address this -- a few
considerations:
o To spice things up, enable competing thread(s) to become
rt, such that we can stress different prio boosting paths
in the rtmutex code. Introduce a ->task_boost callback,
only used by rtmutex-torturer. Tasks will boost/deboost
around every 50k (arbitrarily) lock/unlock operations.
o Hold times are similar to what we have for other locks:
only occasionally having longer hold times (per ~200k ops).
So we roughly do two full rt boost+deboosting ops with
short hold times.

locking/static_keys: Fix a silly typo
Dave ran into horrible performance on a VM without PARAVIRT_SPINLOCKS
set and Linus noted that the test-and-set implementation was retarded.
One should spin on the variable with a load, not a RMW.
While there, remove 'queued' from the name, as the lock isn't queued
at all, but a simple test-and-set.

The qrwlock implementation is slightly heavy in its use of memory
barriers, mainly through the use of _cmpxchg() and _return() atomics, which
imply full barrier semantics.
This patch modifies the qrwlock code to use the more relaxed atomic
routines so that we can reduce the unnecessary barrier overhead on
weakly-ordered architectures.

For an over-committed guest with more vCPUs than physical CPUs
available, it is possible that a vCPU may be kicked twice before
getting the lock - once before it becomes queue head and once again
before it gets the lock. All these CPU kicking and halting (VMEXIT)
can be expensive and slow down system performance.
This patch adds a new vCPU state (vcpu_hashed) which enables the code
to delay CPU kicking until at unlock time. Once this state is set,
the new lock holder will set _Q_SLOW_VAL and fill in the hash table
on behalf of the halted queue head vCPU. The original vcpu_halted
state will be used by pv_wait_node() only to differentiate other
queue nodes from the qeue head.

Currently, a reader will check first to make sure that the writer mode
byte is cleared before incrementing the reader count. That waiting is
not really necessary. It increases the latency in the reader/writer
to reader transition and reduces readers performance.
This patch eliminates that waiting. It also has the side effect
of reducing the chance of writer lock stealing and improving the
fairness of the lock. Using a locking microbenchmark, a 10-threads 5M
locking loop of mostly readers (RW ratio = 10,000:1) has the following
performance numbers in a Haswell-EX box:

When we unlock in __pv_queued_spin_unlock(), a failed cmpxchg() on the lock
value indicates that we need to take the slow-path and unhash the
corresponding node blocked on the lock.
Since a failed cmpxchg() does not provide any memory-ordering guarantees,
it is possible that the node data could be read before the cmpxchg() on
weakly-ordered architectures and therefore return a stale value, leading
to hash corruption and/or a BUG().
This patch adds an smb_rmb() following the failed cmpxchg operation, so
that the unhashing is ordered after the lock has been checked.

Enabling locking-selftest in a VM guest may cause the following
kernel panic:
kernel BUG at .../kernel/locking/qspinlock_paravirt.h:137!
This is due to the fact that the pvqspinlock unlock function is
expecting either a _Q_LOCKED_VAL or _Q_SLOW_VAL in the lock
byte. This patch prevents that bug report by ignoring it when
debug_locks_silent is set. Otherwise, a warning will be printed
if it contains an unexpected value.
With this patch applied, the kernel locking-selftest completed
without any noise.

The qrwlock is fair in the process context, but becoming unfair when
in the interrupt context to support use cases like the tasklist_lock.
The current code isn't that well-documented on what happens when
in the interrupt context. The rspin_until_writer_unlock() will only
spin if the writer has gotten the lock. If the writer is still in the
waiting state, the increment in the reader count will cause the writer
to remain in the waiting state and the new interrupt context reader
will get the lock and return immediately. The current code, however,
does an additional read of the lock value which is not necessary as
the information has already been there in the fast path. This may
sometime cause an additional cacheline transfer when the lock is
highly contended.
This patch passes the lock value information gotten in the fast path
to the slow path to eliminate the additional read. It also documents
the action for the interrupt context readers more clearly.

wake_futex_pi() wakes the task before releasing the hash bucket lock
(HB). The first thing the woken up task usually does is to acquire the
lock which requires the HB lock. On SMP Systems this leads to blocking
on the HB lock which is released by the owner shortly after.
This patch rearranges the unlock path by first releasing the HB lock and
then waking up the task.

Jiri reported a machine stuck in multi_cpu_stop() with
migrate_swap_stop() as function and with the following src,dst cpu
pairs: {11, 4} {13, 11} { 4, 13}
4 11 13
cpuM: queue(4 ,13)
*Ma
cpuN: queue(13,11)
*N Na
*M Mb
cpuO: queue(11, 4)
*O Oa
*Nb
*Ob
Where *X denotes the cpu running the queueing of cpu-X and X[ab] denotes
the first/second queued work.
You'll observe the top of the workqueue for each cpu: 4,11,13 to be work
from cpus: M, O, N resp. IOW. deadlock.
Do away with the queueing trickery and introduce lg_double_lock() to
lock both CPUs and fully serialize the stop_two_cpus() callers instead
of the partial (and buggy) serialization we have now.

The current cmpxchg() loop in setting the _QW_WAITING flag for writers
in queue_write_lock_slowpath() will contend with incoming readers
causing possibly extra cmpxchg() operations that are wasteful. This
patch changes the code to do a byte cmpxchg() to eliminate contention
with new readers.

Add a lockdep annotation that WARNs if you 'accidentially' unlock a
lock.
This is especially helpful for code with callbacks, where the upper
layer assumes a lock remains taken but a lower layer thinks it maybe
can drop and reacquire the lock.
By unwittingly breaking up the lock, races can be introduced.
Lock pinning is a lockdep annotation that helps with this, when you
lockdep_pin_lock() a held lock, any unlock without a
lockdep_unpin_lock() will produce a WARN. Think of this as a relative
of lockdep_assert_held(), except you don't only assert its held now,
but ensure it stays held until you release your assertion.
RFC: a possible alternative API would be something like:
int cookie = lockdep_pin_lock(&foo);
...
lockdep_unpin_lock(&foo, cookie);
Where we pick a random number for the pin_count; this makes it
impossible to sneak a lock break in without also passing the right
cookie along.
I've not done this because it ends up generating code for !LOCKDEP,
esp. if you need to pass the cookie around for some reason.

Mark the task for later wakeup after the wait_lock has been released.
This way, once the next task is awoken, it will have a better chance
to of finding the wait_lock free when continuing executing in
__rt_mutex_slowlock() when trying to acquire the rtmutex, calling
try_to_take_rt_mutex(). Upon contended scenarios, other tasks attempting
take the lock may acquire it first, right after the wait_lock is released,
but (a) this can also occur with the current code, as it relies on the
spinlock fairness, and (b) we are dealing with the top-waiter anyway,
so it will always take the lock next.

The lock_class iteration of /proc/lock_stat is not serialized against
the lockdep_free_key_range() call from module unload.
Therefore it can happen that we find a class of which ->name/->key are
no longer valid.
There is a further bug in zap_class() that left ->name dangling. Cure
this. Use RCU_INIT_POINTER() because NULL.
Since lockdep_free_key_range() is rcu_sched serialized, we can read
both ->name and ->key under rcu_read_lock_sched() (preempt-disable)
and be assured that if we observe a !NULL value it stays safe to use
for as long as we hold that lock.
If we observe both NULL, skip the entry.

rt_mutex_trylock() must be called from thread context. It can be
called from atomic regions (preemption or interrupts disabled), but
not from hard/softirq/nmi context. Add a warning to alert abusers.
The reasons for this are:
1) There is a potential deadlock in the slowpath
2) Another cpu which blocks on the rtmutex will boost the task
which allegedly locked the rtmutex, but that cannot work
because the hard/softirq context borrows the task context.

The rtmutex code is the only user of __HAVE_ARCH_CMPXCHG and we have a few
other user of cmpxchg() which do not care about __HAVE_ARCH_CMPXCHG. This
define was first introduced in 23f78d4a0 ("[PATCH] pi-futex: rt mutex core")
which is v2.6.18. The generic cmpxchg was introduced later in 068fbad288
("Add cmpxchg_local to asm-generic for per cpu atomic operations") which is
v2.6.25.
Back then something was required to get rtmutex working with the fast
path on architectures without cmpxchg and this seems to be the result.
It popped up recently on rt-users because ARM (v6+) does not define
__HAVE_ARCH_CMPXCHG (even that it implements it) which results in slower
locking performance in the fast path.
To put some numbers on it: preempt -RT, am335x, 10 loops of
100000 invocations of rt_spin_lock() + rt_spin_unlock() (time "total" is
the average of the 10 loops for the 100000 invocations, "loop" is
"total / 100000 * 1000"):
cmpxchg | slowpath used || cmpxchg used
| total | loop || total | loop
--------|-----------|-------||------------|-------
ARMv6 | 9129.4 us | 91 ns || 3311.9 us | 33 ns
generic | 9360.2 us | 94 ns || 10834.6 us | 108 ns
----------------------------||--------------------
Forcing it to generic cmpxchg() made things worse for the slowpath and
even worse in cmpxchg() path. It boils down to 14ns more per lock+unlock
in a cache hot loop so it might not be that much in real world.
The last test was a substitute for pre ARMv6 machine but then I was able
to perform the comparison on imx28 which is ARMv5 and therefore is
always is using the generic cmpxchg implementation. And the numbers:
| total | loop
-------- |----------- |--------
slowpath | 263937.2 us | 2639 ns
cmpxchg | 16934.2 us | 169 ns
--------------------------------
The numbers are larger since the machine is slower in general. However,
letting rtmutex use cmpxchg() instead the slowpath seem to improve things.
Since from the ARM (tested on am335x + imx28) point of view always
using cmpxchg() in rt_mutex_lock() + rt_mutex_unlock() makes sense I
would drop the define.

Provide a separate (second) version of the spin_lock_slowpath for
paravirt along with a special unlock path.
The second slowpath is generated by adding a few pv hooks to the
normal slowpath, but where those will compile away for the native
case, they expand into special wait/wake code for the pv version.
The actual MCS queue can use extra storage in the mcs_nodes[] array to
keep track of state and therefore uses directed wakeups.
The head contender has no such storage directly visible to the
unlocker. So the unlocker searches a hash table with open addressing
using a simple binary Galois linear feedback shift register.

Currently, atomic_cmpxchg() is used to get the lock. However, this
is not really necessary if there is more than one task in the queue
and the queue head don't need to reset the tail code. For that case,
a simple write to set the lock bit is enough as the queue head will
be the only one eligible to get the lock as long as it checks that
both the lock and pending bits are not set. The current pending bit
waiting code will ensure that the bit will not be set as soon as the
tail code in the lock is set.
With that change, the are some slight improvement in the performance
of the queued spinlock in the 5M loop micro-benchmark run on a 4-socket
Westere-EX machine as shown in the tables below.

When we allow for a max NR_CPUS < 2^14 we can optimize the pending
wait-acquire and the xchg_tail() operations.
By growing the pending bit to a byte, we reduce the tail to 16bit.
This means we can use xchg16 for the tail part and do away with all
the repeated compxchg() operations.
This in turn allows us to unconditionally acquire; the locked state
as observed by the wait loops cannot change. And because both locked
and pending are now a full byte we can use simple stores for the
state transition, obviating one atomic operation entirely.
This optimization is needed to make the qspinlock achieve performance
parity with ticket spinlock at light load.
All this is horribly broken on Alpha pre EV56 (and any other arch that
cannot do single-copy atomic byte stores).

This is a preparatory patch that extracts out the following 2 code
snippets to prepare for the next performance optimization patch.
1) the logic for the exchange of new and previous tail code words
into a new xchg_tail() function.
2) the logic for clearing the pending bit and setting the locked bit
into a new clear_pending_set_locked() function.
This patch also simplifies the trylock operation before queuing by
calling queued_spin_trylock() directly.

Because the qspinlock needs to touch a second cacheline (the per-cpu
mcs_nodes[]); add a pending bit and allow a single in-word spinner
before we punt to the second cacheline.
It is possible so observe the pending bit without the locked bit when
the last owner has just released but the pending owner has not yet
taken ownership.
In this case we would normally queue -- because the pending bit is
already taken. However, in this case the pending bit is guaranteed
to be released 'soon', therefore wait for it and avoid queueing.

This patch introduces a new generic queued spinlock implementation that
can serve as an alternative to the default ticket spinlock. Compared
with the ticket spinlock, this queued spinlock should be almost as fair
as the ticket spinlock. It has about the same speed in single-thread
and it can be much faster in high contention situations especially when
the spinlock is embedded within the data structure to be protected.
Only in light to moderate contention where the average queue depth
is around 1-3 will this queued spinlock be potentially a bit slower
due to the higher slowpath overhead.
This queued spinlock is especially suit to NUMA machines with a large
number of cores as the chance of spinlock contention is much higher
in those machines. The cost of contention is also higher because of
slower inter-node memory traffic.
Due to the fact that spinlocks are acquired with preemption disabled,
the process will not be migrated to another CPU while it is trying
to get a spinlock. Ignoring interrupt handling, a CPU can only be
contending in one spinlock at any one time. Counting soft IRQ, hard
IRQ and NMI, a CPU can only have a maximum of 4 concurrent lock waiting
activities. By allocating a set of per-cpu queue nodes and used them
to form a waiting queue, we can encode the queue node address into a
much smaller 24-bit size (including CPU number and queue node index)
leaving one byte for the lock.
Please note that the queue node is only needed when waiting for the
lock. Once the lock is acquired, the queue node can be released to
be used later.

In up_write()/up_read(), rwsem_wake() will be called whenever it
detects that some writers/readers are waiting. The rwsem_wake()
function will take the wait_lock and call __rwsem_do_wake() to do the
real wakeup. For a heavily contended rwsem, doing a spin_lock() on
wait_lock will cause further contention on the heavily contended rwsem
cacheline resulting in delay in the completion of the up_read/up_write
operations.
This patch makes the wait_lock taking and the call to __rwsem_do_wake()
optional if at least one spinning writer is present. The spinning
writer will be able to take the rwsem and call rwsem_wake() later
when it calls up_write(). With the presence of a spinning writer,
rwsem_wake() will now try to acquire the lock using trylock. If that
fails, it will just quit.

boost T1
T1 (prio = 20)
sys_set_scheduler(prio = 30)
T1 prio = 30
....
sys_set_scheduler(prio = 10)
T1 prio = 30
The last step is wrong as T1 should now be back at prio 20.
Commit c365c292d0 ("sched: Consider pi boosting in setscheduler()")
only handles the case where a boosted tasks tries to lower its
priority.
Fix it by taking the new effective priority into account for the

This *might* happen because the thread on the other CPU drops the lock
after we are looking ->lockdep_depth and ->held_locks points no longer
to a lock that is held.
The fix here is to simply ignore it and continue.

breaking out of the spin loop on lock->owner != owner, we can
have the loop directly check for while (lock->owner == owner) to
improve the readability of the code.

Module unload calls lockdep_free_key_range(), which removes entries
from the data structures. Most of the lockdep code OTOH assumes the
data structures are append only; in specific see the comments in
add_lock_to_list() and look_up_lock_class().
Clearly this has only worked by accident; make it work proper. The
actual scenario to make it go boom would involve the memory freed by
the module unlock being re-allocated and re-used for a lock inside of
a rcu-sched grace period. This is a very unlikely scenario, still
better plug the hole.
Use RCU list iteration in all places and ammend the comments.
Change lockdep_free_key_range() to issue a sync_sched() between
removal from the lists and returning -- which results in the memory
being freed. Further ensure the callers are placed correctly and
comment the requirements.

Ming reported soft lockups occurring when running xfstest due to
the following tip:locking/core commit:
b3fd4f03ca ("locking/rwsem: Avoid deceiving lock spinners")
When doing optimistic spinning in rwsem, threads should stop
spinning when the lock owner is not running. While a thread is
spinning on owner, if the owner reschedules, owner->on_cpu
returns false and we stop spinning.
However, this commit essentially caused the check to get
ignored because when we break out of the spin loop due to
!on_cpu, we continue spinning if sem->owner != NULL.
This patch fixes this by making sure we stop spinning if the
owner is not running. Furthermore, just like with mutexes,
refactor the code such that we don't have separate checks for
owner_running(). This makes it more straightforward in terms of
why we exit the spin on owner loop and we would also avoid
needing to "guess" why we broke out of the loop to make this
more readable.

- sleep or not but do return with __set_current_state(TASK_RUNNING)

In the early error case where task_blocks_on_rt_mutex() return

With the new standardized functions, we can replace all
ACCESS_ONCE() calls across relevant locking - this includes
lockref and seqlock while at it.
ACCESS_ONCE() does not work reliably on non-scalar types.
For example gcc 4.6 and 4.7 might remove the volatile tag
for such accesses during the SRA (scalar replacement of
aggregates) step:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58145
Update the new calls regardless of if it is a scalar type,
this is cleaner than having three alternatives.

When readers hold the semaphore, the ->owner is nil. As such,
and unlike mutexes, '!owner' does not necessarily imply that
the lock is free. This will cause writers to potentially spin
excessively as they've been mislead to thinking they have a
chance of acquiring the lock, instead of blocking.
This patch therefore enhances the counter check when the owner
is not set by the time we've broken out of the loop. Otherwise
we can return true as a new owner has the lock and thus we want
to continue spinning. While at it, we can make rwsem_spin_on_owner()
less ambiguos and return right away under need_resched conditions.

In order to optimize the spinning step, we need to set the lock
owner as soon as the lock is acquired; after a successful counter
cmpxchg operation, that is. This is particularly useful as rwsems
need to set the owner to nil for readers, so there is a greater
chance of falling out of the spinning. Currently we only set the
owner much later in the game, in the more generic level -- latency
can be specially bad when waiting for a node->next pointer when
releasing the osq in up_write calls.
As such, update the owner inside rwsem_try_write_lock (when the
lock is obtained after blocking) and rwsem_try_write_lock_unqueued
(when the lock is obtained while spinning). This requires creating
a new internal rwsem.h header to share the owner related calls.
Also cleanup some headers for mutex and rwsem.

The need for the smp_mb() in __rwsem_do_wake() should be
properly documented. Applies to both xadd and spinlock
variants.

As suggested by Davidlohr, we could refactor mutex_spin_on_owner().
Currently, we split up owner_running() with mutex_spin_on_owner().
When the owner changes, we make duplicate owner checks which are not
necessary. It also makes the code a bit obscure as we are using a
second check to figure out why we broke out of the loop.
This patch modifies it such that we remove the owner_running() function
and the mutex_spin_on_owner() loop directly checks for if the owner changes,
if the owner is not running, or if we need to reschedule. If the owner
changes, we break out of the loop and return true. If the owner is not
running or if we need to reschedule, then break out of the loop and return
false.
