Subject: tools/testing/radix-tree/idr-test gets a failed assertion on single cpu systems

Hi Matthew,

I made the observation that while tools/testing/radix-tree/idr-test runs
and passes just fine on a system with more than one cpu, it gets an
assertion failure when run on a single cpu system. My test system is
Fedora 34 running on an x86_64 system. It can be easily reproduced by
offlining all cpus but cpu0.

[root@hpe-ml110g7-01 linux]# tools/testing/radix-tree/idr-test
vvv Ignore these warnings
assertion failed at idr.c:250
assertion failed at idr.c:206
^^^ Warnings over
idr-test: idr-test.c:320: idr_find_test_1: Assertion `!(entry !=
xa_mk_value(id))' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)

I bisected the change to 5c089fd0c734 ("idr: Fix idr_get_next race with
idr_remove").

Since idr_get_next can return NULL, I stuck a BUG_ON(!entry) just above
the failing assert, and in this case idr_get_next is returning NULL.

Next, I stuck a BUG_ON in the place that idr_get_next_ul returns NULL
and commented out the contents of idr_u32_test1 so we're not knowingly
passing it bad values, and we seem to fail because the list has been
gone through.

void *idr_get_next_ul(struct idr *idr, unsigned long *nextid)
{
    struct radix_tree_iter iter;
    void __rcu **slot;
    void *entry = NULL;
    unsigned long base = idr->idr_base;
    unsigned long id = *nextid;

    id = (id < base) ? 0 : id - base;
    radix_tree_for_each_slot(slot, &idr->idr_rt, &iter, id) {
        entry = rcu_dereference_raw(*slot);
        if (!entry)
            continue;
        if (!xa_is_internal(entry))
            break;
        if (slot != &idr->idr_rt.xa_head && !xa_is_retry(entry))
            break;
        slot = radix_tree_iter_retry(&iter);
    }
    if (!slot)
        return NULL; <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

    *nextid = iter.index + base;
    return entry;
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL(idr_get_next_ul);

I'm not sure if this is a test issue or possibly an issue with user
level RCU when there's only a single cpu in the system, but I figured it
was worth bringing it to your attention. If there's anything I can do to
help to further analyze this or try out a fix, I'm happy to help.

Thanks,

I'm delighted (a) that you're running idr-test (sometimes I feel like I'm
the only one) and (b) to receive such a detailed and thoughtful bug report.
Thank you.

There's an easier way to reproduce this than offlining all the CPUs
-- use taskset:

$ taskset -c 3 ./idr-test
vvv Ignore these warnings
assertion failed at idr.c:269
assertion failed at idr.c:206
^^^ Warnings over
idr-test: idr-test.c:312: idr_find_test_1: Assertion `!(entry != xa_mk_value(id))' failed.
Aborted

After fixing the current build (git rm
tools/testing/radix-tree/linux/compiler_types.h), I suspected this would fix
the problem:

+++ b/tools/testing/radix-tree/idr-test.c

}

However, that only gets me to the next problem:

so I'll have to dive into that a bit further.
