locking/lockdep: Remove hard coded array size dependency

2015-06-19T07:48:03+00:00

An apparent oversight left a hardcoded '4' in place when
LOCKSTAT_POINTS was introduced.

The contention_point[] and contending_point[] arrays in the
structs lock_class and lock_class_stats need to be the same
size for the loops in lock_stats() to be correct.

This patch allows LOCKSTAT_POINTS to be changed without
affecting the correctness of the code.

lockdep: Implement lock pinning

2015-06-18T22:25:27+00:00

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.

rcu: Improve diagnostics for blocked critical sections in irq

2015-03-03T19:16:00+00:00

If an RCU read-side critical section occurs within an interrupt handler
or a softirq handler, it cannot have been preempted.  Therefore, there is
a check in rcu_read_unlock_special() checking for this error.  However,
when this check triggers, it lacks diagnostic information.  This commit
therefore moves rcu_read_unlock()'s lockdep annotation to follow the
call to __rcu_read_unlock() and changes rcu_read_unlock_special()'s
WARN_ON_ONCE() to an lockdep_rcu_suspicious() in order to locate where
the offending RCU read-side critical section began.  In addition, the
value of the ->rcu_read_unlock_special field is printed.

locking/lockdep: Revert qrwlock recusive stuff

2014-10-03T04:09:30+00:00

Commit f0bab73cb539 ("locking/lockdep: Restrict the use of recursive
read_lock() with qrwlock") changed lockdep to try and conform to the
qrwlock semantics which differ from the traditional rwlock semantics.

In particular qrwlock is fair outside of interrupt context, but in
interrupt context readers will ignore all fairness.

The problem modeling this is that read and write side have different
lock state (interrupts) semantics but we only have a single
representation of these. Therefore lockdep will get confused, thinking
the lock can cause interrupt lock inversions.

So revert it for now; the old rwlock semantics were already imperfectly
modeled and the qrwlock extra won't fit either.

If we want to properly fix this, I think we need to resurrect the work
by Gautham did a few years ago that split the read and write state of
locks:

   http://lwn.net/Articles/332801/

FWIW the locking selftest that would've failed (and was reported by
Borislav earlier) is something like:

  RL(X1);	/* IRQ-ON */
  LOCK(A);
  UNLOCK(A);
  RU(X1);

  IRQ_ENTER();
  RL(X1);	/* IN-IRQ */
  RU(X1);
  IRQ_EXIT();

At which point it would report that because A is an IRQ-unsafe lock we
can suffer the following inversion:

	CPU0		CPU1

	lock(A)
			lock(X1)
			lock(A)
	
	 lock(X1)

And this is 'wrong' because X1 can recurse (assuming the above lock are
in fact read-lock) but lockdep doesn't know about this.

lockdep_assert_held() which only WARNs once.

rcu: Eliminate deadlock between CPU hotplug and expedited grace periods

2014-09-18T23:22:27+00:00

Currently, the expedited grace-period primitives do get_online_cpus().
This greatly simplifies their implementation, but means that calls
to them holding locks that are acquired by CPU-hotplug notifiers (to
say nothing of calls to these primitives from CPU-hotplug notifiers)
can deadlock.  But this is starting to become inconvenient, as can be
seen here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/8/5/754.  The problem in this
case is that some developers need to acquire a mutex from a CPU-hotplug
notifier, but also need to hold it across a synchronize_rcu_expedited().
As noted above, this currently results in deadlock.

This commit avoids the deadlock and retains the simplicity by creating
a try_get_online_cpus(), which returns false if the get_online_cpus()
reference count could not immediately be incremented.  If a call to
try_get_online_cpus() returns true, the expedited primitives operate as
before.  If a call returns false, the expedited primitives fall back to
normal grace-period operations.  This falling back of course results in
increased grace-period latency, but only during times when CPU hotplug
operations are actually in flight.  The effect should therefore be
negligible during normal operation.
