2010-10-05wait: using uninitialized member of wait queueEvgeny Kuznetsov
The "flags" member of "struct wait_queue_t" is used in several places in the kernel code without beeing initialized by init_wait(). "flags" is used in bitwise operations. If "flags" not initialized then unexpected behaviour may take place. Incorrect flags might used later in code. Added initialization of "wait_queue_t.flags" with zero value into "init_wait". Signed-off-by: Evgeny Kuznetsov <EXT-Eugeny.Kuznetsov@nokia.com> [ The bit we care about does end up being initialized by both prepare_to_wait() and add_to_wait_queue(), so this doesn't seem to cause actual bugs, but is definitely the right thing to do -Linus ] Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2010-05-20wait_event_interruptible_locked() interfaceMichal Nazarewicz
New wait_event_interruptible{,_exclusive}_locked{,_irq} macros added. They work just like versions without _locked* suffix but require the wait queue's lock to be held. Also __wake_up_locked() is now exported as to pair it with the above macros. The use case of this new facility is when one uses wait queue's lock to protect a data structure. This may be advantageous if the structure needs to be protected by a spinlock anyway. In particular, with additional spinlock the following code has to be used to wait for a condition: spin_lock(&data.lock); ... for (ret = 0; !ret && !(condition); ) { spin_unlock(&data.lock); ret = wait_event_interruptible(data.wqh, (condition)); spin_lock(&data.lock); } ... spin_unlock(&data.lock); This looks bizarre plus wait_event_interruptible() locks the wait queue's lock anyway so there is a unlock+lock sequence where it could be avoided. To avoid those problems and benefit from wait queue's lock, a code similar to the following should be used: /* Waiting */ spin_lock(&data.wqh.lock); ... ret = wait_event_interruptible_locked(data.wqh, (condition)); ... spin_unlock(&data.wqh.lock); /* Waiting exclusively */ spin_lock(&data.whq.lock); ... ret = wait_event_interruptible_exclusive_locked(data.whq, (condition)); ... spin_unlock(&data.whq.lock); /* Waking up */ spin_lock(&data.wqh.lock); ... wake_up_locked(&data.wqh); ... spin_unlock(&data.wqh.lock); When spin_lock_irq() is used matching versions of macros need to be used (*_locked_irq()).

epoll should not touch flags in wait_queue_t. This patch introduces a new function __add_wait_queue_exclusive(), for the users, who use wait queue as a LIFO queue. __add_wait_queue_tail_exclusive() is introduced too instead of add_wait_queue_exclusive_locked(). remove_wait_queue_locked() is removed, as it is a duplicate of __remove_wait_queue(), disliked by users, and with less users.

2009-04-28net: Avoid extra wakeups of threads blocked in wait_for_packet()Eric Dumazet
In 2.6.25 we added UDP mem accounting. This unfortunatly added a penalty when a frame is transmitted, since we have at TX completion time to call sock_wfree() to perform necessary memory accounting. This calls sock_def_write_space() and utimately scheduler if any thread is waiting on the socket. Thread(s) waiting for an incoming frame was scheduled, then had to sleep again as event was meaningless. (All threads waiting on a socket are using same sk_sleep anchor) This adds lot of extra wakeups and increases latencies, as noted by Christoph Lameter, and slows down softirq handler. Reference : http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=124060437012283&w=2 Fortunatly, Davide Libenzi recently added concept of keyed wakeups into kernel, and particularly for sockets (see commit 37e5540b3c9d838eb20f2ca8ea2eb8072271e403 epoll keyed wakeups: make sockets use keyed wakeups) Davide goal was to optimize epoll, but this new wakeup infrastructure can help non epoll users as well, if they care to setup an appropriate handler. This patch introduces new DEFINE_WAIT_FUNC() helper and uses it in wait_for_packet(), so that only relevant event can wakeup a thread blocked in this function. Trace of function calls from bnx2 TX completion bnx2_poll_work() is : __kfree_skb() skb_release_head_state() sock_wfree() sock_def_write_space() __wake_up_sync_key() __wake_up_common() receiver_wake_function() : Stops here since thread is waiting for an INPUT Reported-by: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-04-14wait: don't use __wake_up_common()Johannes Weiner
'777c6c5 wait: prevent exclusive waiter starvation' made __wake_up_common() global to be used from abort_exclusive_wait(). It was needed to do a wake-up with the waitqueue lock held while passing down a key to the wake-up function. Since '4ede816 epoll keyed wakeups: add __wake_up_locked_key() and __wake_up_sync_key()' there is an appropriate wrapper for this case: __wake_up_locked_key(). Use it here and make __wake_up_common() private to the scheduler again.

2009-04-01epoll keyed wakeups: add __wake_up_locked_key() and __wake_up_sync_key()Davide Libenzi
This patchset introduces wakeup hints for some of the most popular (from epoll POV) devices, so that epoll code can avoid spurious wakeups on its waiters. The problem with epoll is that the callback-based wakeups do not, ATM, carry any information about the events the wakeup is related to. So the only choice epoll has (not being able to call f_op->poll() from inside the callback), is to add the file* to a ready-list and resolve the real events later on, at epoll_wait() (or its own f_op->poll()) time. This can cause spurious wakeups, since the wake_up() itself might be for an event the caller is not interested into. The rate of these spurious wakeup can be pretty high in case of many network sockets being monitored. By allowing devices to report the events the wakeups refer to (at least the two major classes - POLLIN/POLLOUT), we are able to spare useless wakeups by proper handling inside the epoll's poll callback. Epoll will have in any case to call f_op->poll() on the file* later on, since the change to be done in order to have the full event set sent via wakeup, is too invasive for the way our f_op->poll() system works (the full event set is calculated inside the poll function - there are too many of them to even start thinking the change - also poll/select would need change too). Epoll is changed in a way that both devices which send event hints, and the ones that don't, are correctly handled. The former will gain some efficiency though. As a general rule for devices, would be to add an event mask by using key-aware wakeup macros, when making up poll wait queues. I tested it (together with the epoll's poll fix patch Andrew has in -mm) and wakeups for the supported devices are correctly filtered. Test program available here: http://www.xmailserver.org/epoll_test.c This patch: Nothing revolutionary here. Just using the available "key" that our wakeup core already support. The __wake_up_locked_key() was no brainer, since both __wake_up_locked() and __wake_up_locked_key() are thin wrappers around __wake_up_common(). The __wake_up_sync() function had a body, so the choice was between borrowing the body for __wake_up_sync_key() and calling it from __wake_up_sync(), or make an inline and calling it from both. I chose the former since in most archs it all resolves to "mov $0, REG; jmp ADDR".

2009-02-05wait: prevent exclusive waiter starvationJohannes Weiner
With exclusive waiters, every process woken up through the wait queue must ensure that the next waiter down the line is woken when it has finished. Interruptible waiters don't do that when aborting due to a signal. And if an aborting waiter is concurrently woken up through the waitqueue, noone will ever wake up the next waiter. This has been observed with __wait_on_bit_lock() used by lock_page_killable(): the first contender on the queue was aborting when the actual lock holder woke it up concurrently. The aborted contender didn't acquire the lock and therefor never did an unlock followed by waking up the next waiter. Add abort_exclusive_wait() which removes the process' wait descriptor from the waitqueue, iff still queued, or wakes up the next waiter otherwise. It does so under the waitqueue lock. Racing with a wake up means the aborting process is either already woken (removed from the queue) and will wake up the next waiter, or it will remove itself from the queue and the concurrent wake up will apply to the next waiter after it. Use abort_exclusive_wait() in __wait_event_interruptible_exclusive() and __wait_on_bit_lock() when they were interrupted by other means than a wake up through the queue.

2008-10-16wait: kill is_sync_wait()Tejun Heo
is_sync_wait() is used to distinguish between sync and async waits. Basically sync waits are the ones initialized with init_waitqueue_entry() and async ones with init_waitqueue_func_entry(). The sync/async distinction is used only in prepare_to_wait[_exclusive]() and its only function is to skip setting the current task state if the wait is async. This has a few problems. * No one uses it. None of func_entry users use prepare_to_wait() functions, so the code path never gets executed. * The distinction is bogus. Maybe back when func_entry is used only by aio but it's now also used by epoll and in future possibly by 9p and poll/select. * Taking @state as argument and ignoring it silenly depending on how @wait is initialized is just a bad error-prone API. * It prevents func_entry waits from using wait->private for no good reason. This patch kills is_sync_wait() and the associated code paths from prepare_to_wait[_exclusive](). As there was no user of these code paths, this patch doesn't cause any behavior difference.
