The kerneldoc for futex_wait_setup() states it can return "0" or "<1".
This isn't true because the error case is "<0" not less than 1.
Document that <0 is returned on error. Drop the possible return values
and state possible reasons.

futex_wait_multiple_setup() changes task_struct::__state to
!TASK_RUNNING and then enqueues on multiple futexes. Every
futex_q_lock() acquires a reference on the global hash which is
dropped later.
If a rehash is in progress then the loop will block on
mm_struct::futex_hash_bucket for the rehash to complete and this will
lose the previously set task_struct::__state.
Acquire a reference on the local hash to avoiding blocking on
mm_struct::futex_hash_bucket.

futex_wait_setup() has a weird calling convention in order to return
hb to use as an argument to futex_queue().
Mostly such that requeue can have an extra test in between.
Reorder code a little to get rid of this and keep the hb usage inside
futex_wait_setup().

Pull locking fix from Ingo Molnar:
"Fix a dangling pointer bug in the futex code used by the uring code.
It isn't causing problems at the moment due to uring ABI limitations
leaving it essentially unused in current usages, but is a good idea to
fix nevertheless"
* tag 'locking-urgent-2025-02-08' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
futex: Pass in task to futex_queue()
|
|
futex_queue() -> __futex_queue() uses 'current' as the task to store in
the struct futex_q->task field. This is fine for synchronous usage of
the futex infrastructure, but it's not always correct when used by
io_uring where the task doing the initial futex_queue() might not be
available later on. This doesn't lead to any issues currently, as the
io_uring side doesn't support PI futexes, but it does leave a
potentially dangling pointer which is never a good idea.
Have futex_queue() take a task_struct argument, and have the regular
callers pass in 'current' for that. Meanwhile io_uring can just pass in
NULL, as the task should never be used off that path. In theory
req->tctx->task could be used here, but there's no point populating it
with a task field that will never be used anyway.

Patch series "Remove get_task_comm() and print task comm directly", v2.
Since task->comm is guaranteed to be NUL-terminated, we can print it
directly without the need to copy it into a separate buffer. This

In preparation for having another waker that isn't futex_wake_mark(),
add a wake handler in futex_q. No extra data is associated with the
handler outside of struct futex_q itself. futex_wake_mark() is defined as
the standard wakeup helper, now set through futex_q_init like other
defaults.
Normal sync futex waiting relies on wake_q holding tasks that should
be woken up. This is what futex_wake_mark() does, it'll unqueue the
futex and add the associated task to the wake queue. For async usage of
futex waiting, rather than having tasks sleeping on the futex, we'll
need to deal with a futex wake differently. For the planned io_uring
case, that means posting a completion event for the task in question.
Having a definable wake handler can help support that use case.

To complement sys_futex_waitv()/wake(), add sys_futex_wait(). This
syscall implements what was previously known as FUTEX_WAIT_BITSET
except it uses 'unsigned long' for the value and bitmask arguments,
takes timespec and clockid_t arguments for the absolute timeout and
uses FUTEX2 flags.
The 'unsigned long' allows FUTEX2_SIZE_U64 on 64bit platforms.

The current semantics for futex_wake() are a bit loose, specifically
asking for 0 futexes to be woken actually gets you 1.
Adding a !nr check to sys_futex_wake() makes that it would return 0
for unaligned futex words, because that check comes in the shared
futex_wake() function. Adding the !nr check there, would affect the
legacy sys_futex() semantics.
Hence frob a flag :-(

Rewrite the core freezer to behave better wrt thawing and be simpler
in general.
By replacing PF_FROZEN with TASK_FROZEN, a special block state, it is
ensured frozen tasks stay frozen until thawed and don't randomly wake
up early, as is currently possible.
As such, it does away with PF_FROZEN and PF_FREEZER_SKIP, freeing up
two PF_flags (yay!).
Specifically; the current scheme works a little like:
freezer_do_not_count();
schedule();
freezer_count();
And either the task is blocked, or it lands in try_to_freezer()
through freezer_count(). Now, when it is blocked, the freezer
considers it frozen and continues.
However, on thawing, once pm_freezing is cleared, freezer_count()
stops working, and any random/spurious wakeup will let a task run
before its time.
That is, thawing tries to thaw things in explicit order; kernel
threads and workqueues before doing bringing SMP back before userspace
etc.. However due to the above mentioned races it is entirely possible
for userspace tasks to thaw (by accident) before SMP is back.
This can be a fatal problem in asymmetric ISA architectures (eg ARMv9)
where the userspace task requires a special CPU to run.
As said; replace this with a special task state TASK_FROZEN and add
the following state transitions:
TASK_FREEZABLE -> TASK_FROZEN
__TASK_STOPPED -> TASK_FROZEN
__TASK_TRACED -> TASK_FROZEN
The new TASK_FREEZABLE can be set on any state part of TASK_NORMAL
(IOW. TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE and TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE) -- any such state
is already required to deal with spurious wakeups and the freezer
causes one such when thawing the task (since the original state is
lost).
The special __TASK_{STOPPED,TRACED} states *can* be restored since
their canonical state is in ->jobctl.
With this, frozen tasks need an explicit TASK_FROZEN wakeup and are
free of undue (early / spurious) wakeups.

Add support to wait on multiple futexes. This is the interface
implemented by this syscall:
futex_waitv(struct futex_waitv *waiters, unsigned int nr_futexes,
unsigned int flags, struct timespec *timeout, clockid_t clockid)
struct futex_waitv {
__u64 val;
__u64 uaddr;
__u32 flags;
__u32 __reserved;
};
Given an array of struct futex_waitv, wait on each uaddr. The thread
wakes if a futex_wake() is performed at any uaddr. The syscall returns
immediately if any waiter has *uaddr != val. *timeout is an optional
absolute timeout value for the operation. This syscall supports only
64bit sized timeout structs. The flags argument of the syscall should be
empty, but it can be used for future extensions. Flags for shared
futexes, sizes, etc. should be used on the individual flags of each
waiter.
__reserved is used for explicit padding and should be 0, but it might be
used for future extensions. If the userspace uses 32-bit pointers, it
should make sure to explicitly cast it when assigning to waitv::uaddr.
Returns the array index of one of the woken futexes. There’s no given
information of how many were woken, or any particular attribute of it
(if it’s the first woken, if it is of the smaller index...).
