2017-10-25locking/qrwlock: Prevent slowpath writers getting held up by fastpathWill Deacon1-15/+5
When a prospective writer takes the qrwlock locking slowpath due to the lock being held, it attempts to cmpxchg the wmode field from 0 to _QW_WAITING so that concurrent lockers also take the slowpath and queue on the spinlock accordingly, allowing the lockers to drain. Unfortunately, this isn't fair, because a fastpath writer that comes in after the lock is made available but before the _QW_WAITING flag is set can effectively jump the queue. If there is a steady stream of prospective writers, then the waiter will be held off indefinitely. This patch restores fairness by separating _QW_WAITING and _QW_LOCKED into two distinct fields: _QW_LOCKED continues to occupy the bottom byte of the lockword so that it can be cleared unconditionally when unlocking, but _QW_WAITING now occupies what used to be the bottom bit of the reader count. This then forces the slow-path for concurrent lockers.

2017-10-25locking/qrwlock: Use atomic_cond_read_acquire() when spinning in qrwlockWill Deacon1-38/+12
The qrwlock slowpaths involve spinning when either a prospective reader is waiting for a concurrent writer to drain, or a prospective writer is waiting for concurrent readers to drain. In both of these situations, atomic_cond_read_acquire() can be used to avoid busy-waiting and make use of any backoff functionality provided by the architecture. This patch replaces the open-code loops and rspin_until_writer_unlock() implementation with atomic_cond_read_acquire(). The write mode transition zero to _QW_WAITING is left alone, since (a) this doesn't need acquire semantics and (b) should be fast.

2017-10-25locking/qrwlock: Use 'struct qrwlock' instead of 'struct __qrwlock'Will Deacon1-24/+2
There's no good reason to keep the internal structure of struct qrwlock hidden from qrwlock.h, particularly as it's actually needed for unlock and ends up being abstracted independently behind the __qrwlock_write_byte() function. Stop pretending we can hide this stuff, and move the __qrwlock definition into qrwlock, removing the __qrwlock_write_byte() nastiness and using the same struct definition everywhere instead.

2015-08-03locking/qrwlock: Reduce reader/writer to reader lock transfer latencyWaiman Long1-8/+4
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.

2015-07-06locking/qrwlock: Better optimization for interrupt context readersWaiman Long1-6/+7
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.

2014-07-17arch, locking: Ciao arch_mutex_cpu_relax()Davidlohr Bueso1-5/+4
The arch_mutex_cpu_relax() function, introduced by 34b133f, is hacky and ugly. It was added a few years ago to address the fact that common cpu_relax() calls include yielding on s390, and thus impact the optimistic spinning functionality of mutexes. Nowadays we use this function well beyond mutexes: rwsem, qrwlock, mcs and lockref. Since the macro that defines the call is in the mutex header, any users must include mutex.h and the naming is misleading as well. This patch (i) renames the call to cpu_relax_lowlatency ("relax, but only if you can do it with very low latency") and (ii) defines it in each arch's asm/processor.h local header, just like for regular cpu_relax functions. On all archs, except s390, cpu_relax_lowlatency is simply cpu_relax, and thus we can take it out of mutex.h. While this can seem redundant, I believe it is a good choice as it allows us to move out arch specific logic from generic locking primitives and enables future(?) archs to transparently define it, similarly to System Z.

2014-06-06locking/rwlocks: Introduce 'qrwlocks' - fair, queued rwlocksWaiman Long1-0/+133
This rwlock uses the arch_spin_lock_t as a waitqueue, and assuming the arch_spin_lock_t is a fair lock (ticket,mcs etc..) the resulting rwlock is a fair lock. It fits in the same 8 bytes as the regular rwlock_t by folding the reader and writer count into a single integer, using the remaining 4 bytes for the arch_spinlock_t. Architectures that can single-copy adress bytes can optimize queue_write_unlock() with a 0 write to the LSB (the write count).
