#1497206 — [PATCH -v4 0/8] locking/mutex: Rewrite basic mutex

Hi all,

Since you all should not be sending patches during the merge window, I figured
I should to keep you all occupied with something.

Please review, test and otherwise try to break these here patches.

I would like to get these patches into -tip (and -next) once the merge window
closes, so please spend these quiet days staring at this stuff.

Small changes only, mostly the handoff logic as suggested by Waiman last time.

#1497207 — [PATCH -v4 4/8] locking/mutex: Allow MUTEX_SPIN_ON_OWNER when DEBUG_MUTEXES

Now that mutex::count and mutex::owner are the same field, we can
allow SPIN_ON_OWNER while DEBUG_MUTEX.

#1497218 — [PATCH -v4 6/8] locking/mutex: Restructure wait loop

Doesn't really matter yet, but pull the HANDOFF and trylock out from
under the wait_lock.

The intention is to add an optimistic spin loop here, which requires
we do not hold the wait_lock, so shuffle code around in preparation.

Also clarify the purpose of taking the wait_lock in the wait loop, its
tempting to want to avoid it altogether, but the cancellation cases
need to to avoid losing wakeups.

#1497219 — [PATCH -v4 8/8] locking/mutex: Enable optimistic spinning of woken waiter

From: Waiman Long <Waiman.Long@hpe.com>

This patch makes the waiter that sets the HANDOFF flag start spinning
instead of sleeping until the handoff is complete or the owner
sleeps. Otherwise, the handoff will cause the optimistic spinners to
abort spinning as the handed-off owner may not be running.

#1497254 — [PATCH -v4 2/8] locking/mutex: Rework mutex::owner

The current mutex implementation has an atomic lock word and a
non-atomic owner field.

This disparity leads to a number of issues with the current mutex code
as it means that we can have a locked mutex without an explicit owner
(because the owner field has not been set, or already cleared).

This leads to a number of weird corner cases, esp. between the
optimistic spinning and debug code. Where the optimistic spinning
code needs the owner field updated inside the lock region, the debug
code is more relaxed because the whole lock is serialized by the
wait_lock.

Also, the spinning code itself has a few corner cases where we need to
deal with a held lock without an owner field.

Furthermore, it becomes even more of a problem when trying to fix
starvation cases in the current code. We end up stacking special case
on special case.

To solve this rework the basic mutex implementation to be a single
atomic word that contains the owner and uses the low bits for extra
state.

This matches how PI futexes and rt_mutex already work. By having the
owner an integral part of the lock state a lot of the problems
dissapear and we get a better option to deal with starvation cases,
direct owner handoff.

Changing the basic mutex does however invalidate all the arch specific
mutex code; this patch leaves that unused in-place, a later patch will
remove that.

Do we want to do a ccas check for !lock->owner? Although I can see a possible
case of 'optimizing for the contended' reasons for nay.

Since this is the fast path version that gets used in mutex_lock(),
ect..., I think it would make sense to keep it like it is so that we
optimize it for the "common" case. This trylock function is more likely
to succeed as it is used for the initial attempt to get the mutex, so I
think we could avoid the ccas in the trylock_fast().

#1497261 — [PATCH -v4 5/8] locking/mutex: Add lock handoff to avoid starvation

Implement lock handoff to avoid lock starvation.

Lock starvation is possible because mutex_lock() allows lock stealing,
where a running (or optimistic spinning) task beats the woken waiter
to the acquire.

Lock stealing is an important performance optimization because waiting
for a waiter to wake up and get runtime can take a significant time,
during which everyboy would stall on the lock.

The down-side is of course that it allows for starvation.

This patch has the waiter requesting a handoff if it fails to acquire
the lock upon waking. This re-introduces some of the wait time,
because once we do a handoff we have to wait for the waiter to wake up
again.

A future patch will add a round of optimistic spinning to attempt to
alleviate this penalty, but if that turns out to not be enough, we can
add a counter and only request handoff after multiple failed wakeups.

There are a few tricky implementation details:

 - accepting a handoff must only be done in the wait-loop. Since the
   handoff condition is owner == current, it can easily cause
   recursive locking trouble.

 - accepting the handoff must be careful to provide the ACQUIRE
   semantics.

 - having the HANDOFF bit set on unlock requires care, we must not
   clear the owner.

 - we must be careful to not leave HANDOFF set after we've acquired
   the lock. The tricky scenario is setting the HANDOFF bit on an
   unlocked mutex.

Ugh. I think the concept is fine, but can we place make these enum's
be all upper case or something to make them really stand out visually.

Also, it's a bit subtle how this depends on the success/failure enums
to just have the same values as the return value of the non-try mutex.
So a comment about why that particular numbering is important above
the enum definition, please?

You _kind_ of imply that magic numbering requirementby explicitly
using " = 0" and " = 1", but quite frankly, in many ways that's really
nasty, because I can see somebody looking at that enum definition and
saying "that makes no sense: it sets *two* of the three values
explicitly, and the values it sets explicitly are the same that it
would get implicitly _anyway_, so I'll just clean this up".

So I really think that enum needs a comment on the forced choice of
values, and making them all caps would make the users more obvious, I
think.

The other choice would be to just make the choices be negative (==
recursive), zero (== failed) or positive (== got lock), which allows
for the same value re-use for the non-recursive case, and you could
avoid the enum entirely.

I thought about that, but liked the enum better for having to then spell
it out.

I'll go make the enum shout and add comment as you suggest.

Hmm. I'm not a great fan of this, because that requires an conditional
unlock mechanism.

       res = trylock_recursive(lock);
       if (res == FAILED)
       	       goto out;
       .....

       if (res == SUCCESS)
       	       unlock(lock);

While if you actually keep track of recursion you can do:
  
      if (!trylock_recursive(lock))
		goto out;

      ....

      unlock_recursive(lock);

or even:

     lock_recursive(lock);

     unlock_recursive(lock);

That's making lock/trylock and unlock symetric, so its obvious in the
source what's going on and the recursion tracking allows for better
debugability.

Thanks,

Well, when you add just trylock_recursive then people are going to use it
anyway no matter whether it is easy or not.

So if we decide to provide something which supports recursive locking for
mutexes then we are better off doing it with a proper set of functions and
not just a single undebugable wrapper.

So ideally I'd say, no recursive stuff at all. But that means the GEM
people need to either do custom hacks (and you know that will spread),
or need to be convinced to rework their locking somehow.

Hurm,. so I thought that in general we disliked recursive locking
because it quickly turns in to a horrible mess.

Adding such primitives makes it 'easy' to use recursive locking and then
where does it stop?

Thanks..  I guess.

No real review of the code itself from me (I'll leave that to Waiman
and the usual gang), but I have to say that I like how it looks from
30000 ft.  Getting rid of the arch-specific code is lovely.

I tested these new patches on the 8 socket system with the high_systime
workload which stresses mutexes.

The average throughput with and without the patches were very similar at
lower levels of contention. At high contention, the throughput with the
patches were slightly lower, but only by a small amount, which I think
is expected due to the additional waiter wait time, ect...
