#1443146 — [PATCH] locking/pvqspinlock: restore/set vcpu_hashed state after failing adaptive locking spinning

Subject[PATCH] locking/pvqspinlock: restore/set vcpu_hashed state after failing adaptive locking spinning
Message-ID<rUJIR-6Ft-5@gated-at.bofh.it>
From: Wanpeng Li <wanpeng.li@hotmail.com>

When the lock holder vCPU is racing with the queue head:

   CPU 0 (lock holder)    CPU1 (queue head)
   ===================    =================
   spin_lock();           spin_lock();
    pv_kick_node();        pv_wait_head_or_lock();
                            if (!lp) {
                             lp = pv_hash(lock, pn);
							 xchg(&l->locked, _Q_SLOW_VAL);
							}
						    WRITE_ONCE(pn->state, vcpu_halted);
     cmpxchg(&pn->state, 
      vcpu_halted, vcpu_hashed);
     WRITE_ONCE(l->locked, _Q_SLOW_VAL);
     (void)pv_hash(lock, pn);

In this case, lock holder inserts the pv_node of queue head into the 
hash table and set _Q_SLOW_VAL unnecessary. This patch avoids it by 
restoring/setting vcpu_halted state after failing adaptive locking 
spinning.

good catching. this is hash entry leak.

After apply Waiman's pathset "locking/pvqspinlock: Fix missed PV wakeup & support PPC", this is not the big problem.
But we can still save another cmpxchg.

So
