Subject: [PATCH v2 0/5] seqlock: Introduce PREEMPT_RT support

Hi,

Changelog-v2
============

- Standardize on seqcount_LOCKNAME_t as the canonical reference for
sequence counters with associated locks, instead of v1
seqcount_LOCKTYPE_t.

- Use unique prefix "seqprop_*" for all seqcount_t/seqcount_LOCKNAME_t
property accessors.

- Touch-up the lock-unlock rationale for more clarity. Enforce writer
non-preemitiblity using "__seq_enforce_writer_non_preemptibility()".

Cover letter (v1)
=================

https://lkml.kernel.org/r/[email protected]

Preemption must be disabled before entering a sequence counter write
side critical section. Otherwise the read side section can preempt the
write side section and spin for the entire scheduler tick. If that
reader belongs to a real-time scheduling class, it can spin forever and
the kernel will livelock.

Disabling preemption cannot be done for PREEMPT_RT though: it can lead
to higher latencies, and the write side sections will not be able to
acquire locks which become sleeping locks (e.g. spinlock_t).

To remain preemptible, while avoiding a possible livelock caused by the
reader preempting the writer, use a different technique: let the reader
detect if a seqcount_LOCKNAME_t writer is in progress. If that's the
case, acquire then release the associated LOCKNAME writer serialization
lock. This will allow any possibly-preempted writer to make progress
until the end of its writer serialization lock critical section.

Implement this lock-unlock technique for all seqcount_LOCKNAME_t with
an associated (PREEMPT_RT) sleeping lock, and for seqlock_t.

Subject: [PATCH v2 1/5] seqlock: seqcount_LOCKNAME_t: Standardize naming convention

At seqlock.h, sequence counters with associated locks are either called
seqcount_LOCKNAME_t, seqcount_LOCKTYPE_t, or seqcount_locktype_t.

Standardize on seqcount_LOCKNAME_t for all instances in comments,
kernel-doc, and SEQCOUNT_LOCKNAME() generative macro paramters.

Subject: [PATCH v2 3/5] seqlock: seqcount_t: Implement all read APIs as statement expressions

The sequence counters read APIs are implemented as CPP macros, so they
can take either seqcount_t or any of the seqcount_LOCKNAME_t variants.
Such macros then get *directly* transformed to internal C functions that
only take plain seqcount_t.

Further commits need access to seqcount_LOCKNAME_t inside of the actual
read APIs code. Thus transform all of the seqcount read APIs to pure GCC
statement expressions instead.

This will not break type-safety: all of the transformed APIs resolve to
a _Generic() selection that does not have a "default" case.

This will also not affect the transformed APIs readability: previously
added kernel-doc above all of seqlock.h functions makes the expectations
quite clear for call-site developers.

Subject: [PATCH v2 4/5] seqlock: seqcount_LOCKNAME_t: Introduce PREEMPT_RT support

Preemption must be disabled before entering a sequence counter write
side critical section. Otherwise the read side section can preempt the
write side section and spin for the entire scheduler tick. If that
reader belongs to a real-time scheduling class, it can spin forever and
the kernel will livelock.

Disabling preemption cannot be done for PREEMPT_RT though: it can lead
to higher latencies, and the write side sections will not be able to
acquire locks which become sleeping locks (e.g. spinlock_t).

To remain preemptible, while avoiding a possible livelock caused by the
reader preempting the writer, use a different technique: let the reader
detect if a seqcount_LOCKNAME_t writer is in progress. If that's the
case, acquire then release the associated LOCKNAME writer serialization
lock. This will allow any possibly-preempted writer to make progress
until the end of its writer serialization lock critical section.

Implement this lock-unlock technique for all seqcount_LOCKNAME_t with
an associated (PREEMPT_RT) sleeping lock.

Subject: [PATCH v2 5/5] seqlock: PREEMPT_RT: Do not starve seqlock_t writers

On PREEMPT_RT, seqlock_t is transformed to a sleeping lock that do not
disable preemption. A seqlock_t reader can thus preempt its write side
section and spin for the enter scheduler tick. If that reader belongs to
a real-time scheduling class, it can spin forever and the kernel will
livelock.

To break this livelock possibility on PREEMPT_RT, implement seqlock_t in
terms of "seqcount_spinlock_t" instead of plain "seqcount_t".

Beside its pure annotational value, this will leverage the existing
seqcount_LOCKNAME_T PREEMPT_RT anti-livelock mechanisms, without adding
any extra code.

While at it, constify the property accessors first parameter when
appropriate.

I did s/__seqprop_seqcount_/__seqprop_/g on all this.

seqprop is a contraction of seqcount property, no need to put in yet
another seqcount I feel.

seqlock: PREEMPT_RT: Do not starve seqlock_t writers

On PREEMPT_RT, seqlock_t is transformed to a sleeping lock that do not
disable preemption. A seqlock_t reader can thus preempt its write side
section and spin for the enter scheduler tick. If that reader belongs to
a real-time scheduling class, it can spin forever and the kernel will
livelock.

To break this livelock possibility on PREEMPT_RT, implement seqlock_t in
terms of "seqcount_spinlock_t" instead of plain "seqcount_t".

Beside its pure annotational value, this will leverage the existing
seqcount_LOCKNAME_T PREEMPT_RT anti-livelock mechanisms, without adding
any extra code.

seqlock: seqcount_LOCKNAME_t: Standardize naming convention

At seqlock.h, sequence counters with associated locks are either called
seqcount_LOCKNAME_t, seqcount_LOCKTYPE_t, or seqcount_locktype_t.

Standardize on seqcount_LOCKNAME_t for all instances in comments,
kernel-doc, and SEQCOUNT_LOCKNAME() generative macro paramters.

seqlock: seqcount_t: Implement all read APIs as statement expressions

The sequence counters read APIs are implemented as CPP macros, so they
can take either seqcount_t or any of the seqcount_LOCKNAME_t variants.
Such macros then get *directly* transformed to internal C functions that
only take plain seqcount_t.

Further commits need access to seqcount_LOCKNAME_t inside of the actual
read APIs code. Thus transform all of the seqcount read APIs to pure GCC
statement expressions instead.

This will not break type-safety: all of the transformed APIs resolve to
a _Generic() selection that does not have a "default" case.

This will also not affect the transformed APIs readability: previously
added kernel-doc above all of seqlock.h functions makes the expectations
quite clear for call-site developers.

Reverting this patchset [1] from today's linux-next fixed a splat below. The
splat looks like a false positive anyway because the existing locking dependency
chains from the task #1 here:

&s->seqcount#2 ---> pidmap_lock

It is write_seqlock(&sig->stats_lock) in __exit_signal(), but the &s->seqcount#2
in read_mems_allowed_begin() is read_seqcount_begin(&current->mems_allowed_seq),
so there should be no deadlock?

I think this happened because seqcount_##lockname##_init() is defined at
function rather than macro, so when the seqcount_init() gets expand in
that function, the lock_class_key of seqcount will be a static variable
of seqcount_##lockname##_init() function, as a result, all
seqcount_##lockname##_t in the same compile unit (in this case it's
kernel/fork.c) share the same lock class key, and lockdep thought they
are the same lock ;-)

Don't know how to fix this properly, but below is an ugly attemption,
only build test, just food for thoughts.

I suspect the below, while more verbose than I'd like is the best
option.

I'll add this into the tip tree merge today (unless the tip tree is
updated in the mean time).

seqlock: Unbreak lockdep

seqcount_LOCKNAME_init() needs to be a macro due to the lockdep
annotation in seqcount_init(). Since a macro cannot define another
macro, we need to effectively revert commit: e4e9ab3f9f91 ("seqlock:
Fold seqcount_LOCKNAME_init() definition").

Fixes: e4e9ab3f9f91 ("seqlock: Fold seqcount_LOCKNAME_init() definition")
