commit 92cc5d00a431e96e5a49c0b97e5ad4fa7536bd4b upstream.
Apparently despite it being marked inline, the compiler
may not inline __down_read_common() which makes it difficult
to identify the cause of lock contention, as the blocked
function in traceevents will always be listed as
__down_read_common().
So this patch adds __always_inline annotation to the common
function (as well as the inlined helper callers) to force it to
be inlined so the blocking function will be listed (via Wchan)
in traceevents.

on XFS on arm64.

It also affects 6.1-rc7-rt5 and affects a preempt-rt fork of 5.14 so this
is likely a bug that existed forever and only became visible when ARM
support was added to preempt-rt. The same problem does not occur on x86-64
and he also reported that converting sb->s_inode_wblist_lock to
raw_spinlock_t makes the problem disappear indicating that the RT spinlock
variant is the problem.
Which in turn means that RT mutexes on ARM64 and any other weakly ordered
architecture are affected by this independent of RT.
Will Deacon observed:
"I'd be more inclined to be suspicious of the slowpath tbh, as we need to
make sure that we have acquire semantics on all paths where the lock can
be taken. Looking at the rtmutex code, this really isn't obvious to me
-- for example, try_to_take_rt_mutex() appears to be able to return via
the 'takeit' label without acquire semantics and it looks like we might
be relying on the caller's subsequent _unlock_ of the wait_lock for
ordering, but that will give us release semantics which aren't correct."
Sebastian Andrzej Siewior prototyped a fix that does work based on that
comment but it was a little bit overkill and added some fences that should
not be necessary.
The lock owner is updated with an IRQ-safe raw spinlock held, but the
spin_unlock does not provide acquire semantics which are needed when
acquiring a mutex.
Adds the necessary acquire semantics for lock owner updates in the slow path
acquisition and the waiter bit logic.
It successfully completed 10 iterations of the dbench workload while the
vanilla kernel fails on the first iteration.

commit b613c7f31476c44316bfac1af7cac714b7d6bef9 upstream.
A non-first waiter can potentially spin in the for loop of
rwsem_down_write_slowpath() without sleeping but fail to acquire the
lock even if the rwsem is free if the following sequence happens:
Non-first RT waiter First waiter Lock holder
------------------- ------------ -----------
Acquire wait_lock
rwsem_try_write_lock():
Set handoff bit if RT or
wait too long
Set waiter->handoff_set
Release wait_lock
Acquire wait_lock
Inherit waiter->handoff_set
Release wait_lock
Clear owner
Release lock
if (waiter.handoff_set) {
rwsem_spin_on_owner(();
if (OWNER_NULL)
goto trylock_again;
}
trylock_again:
Acquire wait_lock
rwsem_try_write_lock():
if (first->handoff_set && (waiter != first))
return false;
Release wait_lock
A non-first waiter cannot really acquire the rwsem even if it mistakenly
believes that it can spin on OWNER_NULL value. If that waiter happens
to be an RT task running on the same CPU as the first waiter, it can
block the first waiter from acquiring the rwsem leading to live lock.
Fix this problem by making sure that a non-first waiter cannot spin in
the slowpath loop without sleeping.

... disabled preemption when acquiring rwsem for write.
However, preemption has not yet been disabled when acquiring a read lock
on a rwsem. So a reader can add a RWSEM_READER_BIAS to count without
setting owner to signal a reader, got preempted out by a RT task which
then spins in the writer slowpath as owner remains NULL leading to live lock.
One easy way to fix this problem is to disable preemption at all the
down_read*() and up_read() code paths as implemented in this patch.

[ Upstream commit 14c24048841151548a3f4d9e218510c844c1b737 ]
We found that a process with 10 thousnads threads has been encountered
a regression problem from Linux-v4.14 to Linux-v5.4. It is a kind of
workload which will concurrently allocate lots of memory in different
threads sometimes. In this case, we will see the down_read_trylock()
with a high hotspot. Therefore, we suppose that rwsem has a regression
at least since Linux-v5.4. In order to easily debug this problem, we
write a simply benchmark to create the similar situation lile the
following.
```c++
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <sys/time.h>
#include <sys/resource.h>
#include <sched.h>
#include <cstdio>
#include <cassert>
#include <thread>
#include <vector>
#include <chrono>
volatile int mutex;
void trigger(int cpu, char* ptr, std::size_t sz)
{
cpu_set_t set;
CPU_ZERO(&set);
CPU_SET(cpu, &set);
assert(pthread_setaffinity_np(pthread_self(), sizeof(set), &set) == 0);
while (mutex);
for (std::size_t i = 0; i < sz; i += 4096) {
*ptr = '\0';
ptr += 4096;
}
}
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
std::size_t sz = 100;
if (argc > 1)
sz = atoi(argv[1]);
auto nproc = std::thread::hardware_concurrency();
std::vector<std::thread> thr;
sz <<= 30;
auto* ptr = mmap(nullptr, sz, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_ANON |
MAP_PRIVATE, -1, 0);
assert(ptr != MAP_FAILED);
char* cptr = static_cast<char*>(ptr);
auto run = sz / nproc;
run = (run >> 12) << 12;
mutex = 1;
for (auto i = 0U; i < nproc; ++i) {
thr.emplace_back(std::thread([i, cptr, run]() { trigger(i, cptr, run); }));
cptr += run;
}
rusage usage_start;
getrusage(RUSAGE_SELF, &usage_start);
auto start = std::chrono::system_clock::now();
mutex = 0;
for (auto& t : thr)
t.join();
rusage usage_end;
getrusage(RUSAGE_SELF, &usage_end);
auto end = std::chrono::system_clock::now();
timeval utime;
timeval stime;
timersub(&usage_end.ru_utime, &usage_start.ru_utime, &utime);
timersub(&usage_end.ru_stime, &usage_start.ru_stime, &stime);
printf("usr: %ld.%06ld\n", utime.tv_sec, utime.tv_usec);
printf("sys: %ld.%06ld\n", stime.tv_sec, stime.tv_usec);
printf("real: %lu\n",
std::chrono::duration_cast<std::chrono::milliseconds>(end -
start).count());
return 0;
}
```
The functionality of above program is simply which creates `nproc`
threads and each of them are trying to touch memory (trigger page
fault) on different CPU. Then we will see the similar profile by
`perf top`.
25.55% [kernel] [k] down_read_trylock
14.78% [kernel] [k] handle_mm_fault
13.45% [kernel] [k] up_read
8.61% [kernel] [k] clear_page_erms
3.89% [kernel] [k] __do_page_fault
The highest hot instruction, which accounts for about 92%, in
down_read_trylock() is cmpxchg like the following.
91.89 │ lock cmpxchg %rdx,(%rdi)
Sice the problem is found by migrating from Linux-v4.14 to Linux-v5.4,
so we easily found that the commit ddb20d1d3aed ("locking/rwsem: Optimize
down_read_trylock()") caused the regression. The reason is that the
commit assumes the rwsem is not contended at all. But it is not always
true for mmap lock which could be contended with thousands threads.
So most threads almost need to run at least 2 times of "cmpxchg" to
acquire the lock. The overhead of atomic operation is higher than
non-atomic instructions, which caused the regression.
By using the above benchmark, the real executing time on a x86-64 system
before and after the patch were:
Before Patch After Patch
# of Threads real real reduced by
------------ ------ ------ ----------
1 65,373 65,206 ~0.0%
4 15,467 15,378 ~0.5%
40 6,214 5,528 ~11.0%
For the uncontended case, the new down_read_trylock() is the same as
before. For the contended cases, the new down_read_trylock() is faster
than before. The more contended, the more fast.

commit db370a8b9f67ae5f17e3d5482493294467784504 upstream.
Let L1 and L2 be two spinlocks.
Let T1 be a task holding L1 and blocked on L2. T1, currently, is the top
waiter of L2.
Let T2 be the task holding L2.
Let T3 be a task trying to acquire L1.
The following events will lead to a state in which the wait queue of L2
isn't empty, but no task actually holds the lock.
T1 T2 T3
== == ==
spin_lock(L1)
| raw_spin_lock(L1->wait_lock)
| rtlock_slowlock_locked(L1)
| | task_blocks_on_rt_mutex(L1, T3)
| | | orig_waiter->lock = L1
| | | orig_waiter->task = T3
| | | raw_spin_unlock(L1->wait_lock)

spin_unlock(L2) | | | |
| rt_mutex_slowunlock(L2) | | | |
| | raw_spin_lock(L2->wait_lock) | | | |
| | wakeup(T1) | | | |
| | raw_spin_unlock(L2->wait_lock) | | | |
| | | | waiter = T1->pi_blocked_on
| | | | waiter == rt_mutex_top_waiter(L2)
| | | | waiter->task == T1
| | | | raw_spin_lock(L2->wait_lock)
| | | | dequeue(L2, waiter)
| | | | update_prio(waiter, T1)
| | | | enqueue(L2, waiter)
| | | | waiter != rt_mutex_top_waiter(L2)
| | | | L2->owner == NULL
| | | | wakeup(T1)
| | | | raw_spin_unlock(L2->wait_lock)
T1 wakes up
T1 != top_waiter(L2)
schedule_rtlock()
If the deadline of T1 is updated before the call to update_prio(), and the
new deadline is greater than the deadline of the second top waiter, then
after the requeue, T1 is no longer the top waiter, and the wrong task is
woken up which will then go back to sleep because it is not the top waiter.
This can be reproduced in PREEMPT_RT with stress-ng:
while true; do
stress-ng --sched deadline --sched-period 1000000000 \
--sched-runtime 800000000 --sched-deadline \
1000000000 --mmapfork 23 -t 20
done
A similar issue was pointed out by Thomas versus the cases where the top
waiter drops out early due to a signal or timeout, which is a general issue
for all regular rtmutex use cases, e.g. futex.
The problematic code is in rt_mutex_adjust_prio_chain():
// Save the top waiter before dequeue/enqueue
prerequeue_top_waiter = rt_mutex_top_waiter(lock);
rt_mutex_dequeue(lock, waiter);
waiter_update_prio(waiter, task);
rt_mutex_enqueue(lock, waiter);
// Lock has no owner?
if (!rt_mutex_owner(lock)) {
// Top waiter changed
----> if (prerequeue_top_waiter != rt_mutex_top_waiter(lock))
----> wake_up_state(waiter->task, waiter->wake_state);
This only takes the case into account where @waiter is the new top waiter
due to the requeue operation.
But it fails to handle the case where @waiter is not longer the top
waiter due to the requeue operation.
Ensure that the new top waiter is woken up so in all cases so it can take
over the ownerless lock.

another lockdep_init_map_*() variant, but forgot to update all the

This could lead to a loss of lock_type and hence an incorrect report.
Given the relative rarity of both local_lock and these annotations,
this is unlikely to happen in practise, still, best fix things.

commit 6eebd5fb20838f5971ba17df9f55cc4f84a31053 upstream.
With commit d257cc8cb8d5 ("locking/rwsem: Make handoff bit handling more
consistent"), the writer that sets the handoff bit can be interrupted
out without clearing the bit if the wait queue isn't empty. This disables
reader and writer optimistic lock spinning and stealing.
Now if a non-first writer in the queue is somehow woken up or a new
waiter enters the slowpath, it can't acquire the lock. This is not the
case before commit d257cc8cb8d5 as the writer that set the handoff bit
will clear it when exiting out via the out_nolock path. This is less
efficient as the busy rwsem stays in an unlock state for a longer time.
In some cases, this new behavior may cause lockups as shown in [1] and
[2].
This patch allows a non-first writer to ignore the handoff bit if it
is not originally set or initiated by the first waiter. This patch is
shown to be effective in fixing the lockup problem reported in [1].

[ Upstream commit fb7275acd6fb988313dddd8d3d19efa70d9015ad ] When dumping lock_classes information via /proc/lockdep, we can't take the lockdep lock as the lock hold time is indeterminate. Iterating over all_lock_classes without holding lock can be dangerous as there is a slight chance that it may branch off to other lists leading to infinite loop or even access invalid memory if changes are made to all_lock_classes list in parallel. To avoid this problem, iteration of lock classes is now done directly on the lock_classes array itself. The lock_classes_in_use bitmap is checked to see if the lock class is being used. To avoid iterating the full array all the times, a new max_lock_class_idx value is added to track the maximum lock_class index that is currently being used. We can theoretically take the lockdep lock for iterating all_lock_classes when other lockdep files (lockdep_stats and lock_stat) are accessed as the lock hold time will be shorter for them. For consistency, they are also modified to iterate the lock_classes array directly.
