| * rtmutex: Simplify PI algorithm and make highest prio task get lockLai Jiangshan2011-01-271-10/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In current rtmutex, the pending owner may be boosted by the tasks in the rtmutex's waitlist when the pending owner is deboosted or a task in the waitlist is boosted. This boosting is unrelated, because the pending owner does not really take the rtmutex. It is not reasonable. Example. time1: A(high prio) onwers the rtmutex. B(mid prio) and C (low prio) in the waitlist. time2 A release the lock, B becomes the pending owner A(or other high prio task) continues to run. B's prio is lower than A, so B is just queued at the runqueue. time3 A or other high prio task sleeps, but we have passed some time The B and C's prio are changed in the period (time2 ~ time3) due to boosting or deboosting. Now C has the priority higher than B. ***Is it reasonable that C has to boost B and help B to get the rtmutex? NO!! I think, it is unrelated/unneed boosting before B really owns the rtmutex. We should give C a chance to beat B and win the rtmutex. This is the motivation of this patch. This patch *ensures* only the top waiter or higher priority task can take the lock. How? 1) we don't dequeue the top waiter when unlock, if the top waiter is changed, the old top waiter will fail and go to sleep again. 2) when requiring lock, it will get the lock when the lock is not taken and: there is no waiter OR higher priority than waiters OR it is top waiter. 3) In any time, the top waiter is changed, the top waiter will be woken up. The algorithm is much simpler than before, no pending owner, no boosting for pending owner. Other advantage of this patch: 1) The states of a rtmutex are reduced a half, easier to read the code. 2) the codes become shorter. 3) top waiter is not dequeued until it really take the lock: they will retain FIFO when it is stolen. Not advantage nor disadvantage 1) Even we may wakeup multiple waiters(any time when top waiter changed), we hardly cause "thundering herd", the number of wokenup task is likely 1 or very little. 2) two APIs are changed. rt_mutex_owner() will not return pending owner, it will return NULL when the top waiter is going to take the lock. rt_mutex_next_owner() always return the top waiter. will not return NULL if we have waiters because the top waiter is not dequeued. I have fixed the code that use these APIs. need updated after this patch is accepted 1) Document/* 2) the testcase scripts/rt-tester/t4-l2-pi-deboost.tst Signed-off-by: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@cn.fujitsu.com> LKML-Reference: <4D3012D5.4060709@cn.fujitsu.com> Reviewed-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
* | futex: Deobfuscate handle_futex_death()Thomas Gleixner2011-03-141-3/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | handle_futex_death() uses futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() without disabling page faults. That's ok, but totally non obvious. We don't hold locks so we actually can and want to fault here, because the get_user() before futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() does not guarantee a R/W mapping. We could just add a big fat comment to explain this, but actually changing the code so that the functionality is entirely clear is better. Use the helper function which disables page faults around the futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() and handle a fault with a call to fault_in_user_writeable() as all other places in the futex code do as well.

| * | futex,plist: Pass the real head of the priority list to plist_del()Lai Jiangshan2011-03-111-8/+23
| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some plist_del()s in kernel/futex.c are passed a faked head of the priority list. It does not fail because the current code does not require the real head in plist_del(). The current code of plist_del() just uses the head for checking, so it will not cause a bad result even when we use a faked head. But it is undocumented usage: /** * plist_del - Remove a @node from plist. * * @node: &struct plist_node pointer - entry to be removed * @head: &struct plist_head pointer - list head */ The document says that the @head is the "list head" head of the priority list. In futex code, several places use "plist_del(&q->list, &q->list.plist);", they pass a fake head. We need to fix them all. Thanks to Darren Hart for many suggestions.

This change makes the cmpxchg_futex_value_locked API more similar to the get_futex_value_locked one, returning an error code and updating the original value through a reference argument.

Tracing the cause of why this occurs is more likely that waiter simply timedout. But because it originally caused contention with the futex, the owner will go into the kernel when it unlocks the lock. Then it will hit this code path and rt_mutex_next_owner() will return NULL.

* / thp: update futex compound knowledgeAndrea Arcangeli2011-01-131-10/+45
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Futex code is smarter than most other gup_fast O_DIRECT code and knows about the compound internals. However now doing a put_page(head_page) will not release the pin on the tail page taken by gup-fast, leading to all sort of refcounting bugchecks. Getting a stable head_page is a little tricky. page_head = page is there because if this is not a tail page it's also the page_head. Only in case this is a tail page, compound_head is called, otherwise it's guaranteed unnecessary. And if it's a tail page compound_head has to run atomically inside irq disabled section __get_user_pages_fast before returning. Otherwise ->first_page won't be a stable pointer. Disableing irq before __get_user_page_fast and releasing irq after running compound_head is needed because if __get_user_page_fast returns == 1, it means the huge pmd is established and cannot go away from under us. pmdp_splitting_flush_notify in __split_huge_page_splitting will have to wait for local_irq_enable before the IPI delivery can return. This means __split_huge_page_refcount can't be running from under us, and in turn when we run compound_head(page) we're not reading a dangling pointer from tailpage->first_page. Then after we get to stable head page, we are always safe to call compound_lock and after taking the compound lock on head page we can finally re-check if the page returned by gup-fast is still a tail page. in which case we're set and we didn't need to split the hugepage in order to take a futex on it.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The futex_q struct has grown considerably over the last couple years. I believe it now merits a static initializer to avoid uninitialized data errors (having spent more time than I care to admit debugging an uninitialized q.bitset in an experimental new op code). With the key initializer built in, several of the FUTEX_KEY_INIT calls can be removed.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | futex_wait() is leaking key references due to futex_wait_setup() acquiring an additional reference via the queue_lock() routine. The nested key ref-counting has been masking bugs and complicating code analysis. queue_lock() is only called with a previously ref-counted key, so remove the additional ref-counting from the queue_(un)lock() functions. Also futex_wait_requeue_pi() drops one key reference too many in unqueue_me_pi(). Remove the key reference handling from unqueue_me_pi(). This was paired with a queue_lock() in futex_lock_pi(), so the count remains unchanged. Document remaining nested key ref-counting sites.

* futex: futex_find_get_task remove credentails checkMichal Hocko2010-06-301-13/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | futex_find_get_task is currently used (through lookup_pi_state) from two contexts, futex_requeue and futex_lock_pi_atomic. None of the paths looks it needs the credentials check, though. Different (e)uids shouldn't matter at all because the only thing that is important for shared futex is the accessibility of the shared memory. The credentail check results in glibc assert failure or process hang (if glibc is compiled without assert support) for shared robust pthread mutex with priority inheritance if a process tries to lock already held lock owned by a process with a different euid: pthread_mutex_lock.c:312: __pthread_mutex_lock_full: Assertion `(-(e)) != 3 || !robust' failed. The problem is that futex_lock_pi_atomic which is called when we try to lock already held lock checks the current holder (tid is stored in the futex value) to get the PI state. It uses lookup_pi_state which in turn gets task struct from futex_find_get_task. ESRCH is returned either when the task is not found or if credentials check fails. futex_lock_pi_atomic simply returns if it gets ESRCH. glibc code, however, doesn't expect that robust lock returns with ESRCH because it should get either success or owner died.

* futex: Handle futex value corruption gracefullyThomas Gleixner2010-02-031-2/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The WARN_ON in lookup_pi_state which complains about a mismatch between pi_state->owner->pid and the pid which we retrieved from the user space futex is completely bogus. The code just emits the warning and then continues despite the fact that it detected an inconsistent state of the futex. A conveniant way for user space to spam the syslog. Replace the WARN_ON by a consistency check. If the values do not match return -EINVAL and let user space deal with the mess it created. This also fixes the missing task_pid_vnr() when we compare the pi_state->owner pid with the futex value.

* futex: Handle user space corruption gracefullyThomas Gleixner2010-02-031-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the owner of a PI futex dies we fix up the pi_state and set pi_state->owner to NULL. When a malicious or just sloppy programmed user space application sets the futex value to 0 e.g. by calling pthread_mutex_init(), then the futex can be acquired again. A new waiter manages to enqueue itself on the pi_state w/o damage, but on unlock the kernel dereferences pi_state->owner and oopses. Prevent this by checking pi_state->owner in the unlock path. If pi_state->owner is not current we know that user space manipulated the futex value. Ignore the mess and return -EINVAL. This catches the above case and also the case where a task hijacks the futex by setting the tid value and then tries to unlock it.

* futex_lock_pi() key refcnt fixMikael Pettersson2010-02-031-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes a futex key reference count bug in futex_lock_pi(), where a key's reference count is incremented twice but decremented only once, causing the backing object to not be released. If the futex is created in a temporary file in an ext3 file system, this bug causes the file's inode to become an "undead" orphan, which causes an oops from a BUG_ON() in ext3_put_super() when the file system is unmounted. glibc's test suite is known to trigger this, see <http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14256>. The bug is a regression from 2.6.28-git3, namely Peter Zijlstra's 38d47c1b7075bd7ec3881141bb3629da58f88dab "[PATCH] futex: rely on get_user_pages() for shared futexes". That commit made get_futex_key() also increment the reference count of the futex key, and updated its callers to decrement the key's reference count before returning. Unfortunately the normal exit path in futex_lock_pi() wasn't corrected: the reference count is incremented by get_futex_key() and queue_lock(), but the normal exit path only decrements once, via unqueue_me_pi(). The fix is to put_futex_key() after unqueue_me_pi(), since 2.6.31 this is easily done by 'goto out_put_key' rather than 'goto out'.

* futexes: Remove rw parameter from get_futex_key()KOSAKI Motohiro2010-01-131-15/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, futexes have two problem: A) The current futex code doesn't handle private file mappings properly. get_futex_key() uses PageAnon() to distinguish file and anon, which can cause the following bad scenario: 1) thread-A call futex(private-mapping, FUTEX_WAIT), it sleeps on file mapping object. 2) thread-B writes a variable and it makes it cow. 3) thread-B calls futex(private-mapping, FUTEX_WAKE), it wakes up blocked thread on the anonymous page. (but it's nothing) B) Current futex code doesn't handle zero page properly. Read mode get_user_pages() can return zero page, but current futex code doesn't handle it at all. Then, zero page makes infinite loop internally. The solution is to use write mode get_user_page() always for page lookup. It prevents the lookup of both file page of private mappings and zero page. Performance concerns: Probaly very little, because glibc always initialize variables for futex before to call futex(). It means glibc users never see the overhead of this patch. Compatibility concerns: This patch has few compatibility issues. After this patch, FUTEX_WAIT require writable access to futex variables (read-only mappings makes EFAULT). But practically it's not a problem, glibc always initalizes variables for futexes explicitly - nobody uses read-only mappings.

Dropping the reference may ultimately lead to a call to "iput_final" and subsequently call into filesystem- specific code - which may be non-atomic. It is therefore safer to defer this drop operation until after the futex_hash_bucket spinlock has been dropped.

* futex: Handle spurious wake upThomas Gleixner2009-10-131-3/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The futex code does not handle spurious wake up in futex_wait and futex_wait_requeue_pi. The code assumes that any wake up which was not caused by futex_wake / requeue or by a timeout was caused by a signal wake up and returns one of the syscall restart error codes. In case of a spurious wake up the signal delivery code which deals with the restart error codes is not invoked and we return that error code to user space. That causes applications which actually check the return codes to fail. Blaise reported that on preempt-rt a python test program run into a exception trap. -rt exposed that due to a built in spurious wake up accelerator :) Solve this by checking signal_pending(current) in the wake up path and handle the spurious wake up case w/o returning to user space.

* futex: Fix wakeup race by setting TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE before queue_me()Darren Hart2009-09-221-12/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | PI futexes do not use the same plist_node_empty() test for wakeup. It was possible for the waiter (in futex_wait_requeue_pi()) to set TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE after the waker assigned the rtmutex to the waiter. The waiter would then note the plist was not empty and call schedule(). The task would not be found by any subsequeuent futex wakeups, resulting in a userspace hang. By moving the setting of TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE to before the call to queue_me(), the race with the waker is eliminated. Since we no longer call get_user() from within queue_me(), there is no need to delay the setting of TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE until after the call to queue_me(). The FUTEX_LOCK_PI operation is not affected as futex_lock_pi() relies entirely on the rtmutex code to handle schedule() and wakeup. The requeue PI code is affected because the waiter starts as a non-PI waiter and is woken on a PI futex. Remove the crusty old comment about holding spinlocks() across get_user() as we no longer do that. Correct the locking statement with a description of why the test is performed.

* | futex: Update futex_q lock_ptr on requeue proxy lockDarren Hart2009-08-101-4/+13
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | futex_requeue() can acquire the lock on behalf of a waiter early on or during the requeue loop if it is uncontended or in the event of a lock steal or owner died. On wakeup, the waiter (in futex_wait_requeue_pi()) cleans up the pi_state owner using the lock_ptr to protect against concurrent access to the pi_state. The pi_state is hung off futex_q's on the requeue target futex hash bucket so the lock_ptr needs to be updated accordingly. The problem manifested by triggering the WARN_ON in lookup_pi_state() about the pid != pi_state->owner->pid. With this patch, the pi_state is properly guarded against concurrent access via the requeue target hb lock. The astute reviewer may notice that there is a window of time between when futex_requeue() unlocks the hb locks and when futex_wait_requeue_pi() will acquire hb2->lock. During this time the pi_state and uval are not in sync with the underlying rtmutex owner (but the uval does indicate there are waiters, so no atomic changes will occur in userspace). However, this is not a problem. Should a contending thread enter lookup_pi_state() and acquire hb2->lock before the ownership is fixed up, it will find the pi_state hung off a waiter's (possibly the pending owner's) futex_q and block on the rtmutex. Once futex_wait_requeue_pi() fixes up the owner, it will also move the pi_state from the old owner's task->pi_state_list to its own. v3: Fix plist lock name for application to mainline (rather than -rt) Compile tested against tip/v2.6.31-rc5.
