* arch, locking: Ciao arch_mutex_cpu_relax()Davidlohr Bueso2014-07-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The arch_mutex_cpu_relax() function, introduced by 34b133f, is hacky and ugly. It was added a few years ago to address the fact that common cpu_relax() calls include yielding on s390, and thus impact the optimistic spinning functionality of mutexes. Nowadays we use this function well beyond mutexes: rwsem, qrwlock, mcs and lockref. Since the macro that defines the call is in the mutex header, any users must include mutex.h and the naming is misleading as well. This patch (i) renames the call to cpu_relax_lowlatency ("relax, but only if you can do it with very low latency") and (ii) defines it in each arch's asm/processor.h local header, just like for regular cpu_relax functions. On all archs, except s390, cpu_relax_lowlatency is simply cpu_relax, and thus we can take it out of mutex.h. While this can seem redundant, I believe it is a good choice as it allows us to move out arch specific logic from generic locking primitives and enables future(?) archs to transparently define it, similarly to System Z.

| * locking/rwsem: Rename 'activity' to 'count'Peter Zijlstra2014-07-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are two definitions of struct rw_semaphore, one in linux/rwsem.h and one in linux/rwsem-spinlock.h. For some reason they have different names for the initial field. This makes it impossible to use C99 named initialization for __RWSEM_INITIALIZER() -- or we have to duplicate that entire thing along with the structure definitions. The simpler patch is renaming the rwsem-spinlock variant to match the regular rwsem. This allows us to switch to C99 named initialization.

This patch optimizes this by only retriving this CPU's osq node after we attempt the initial cmpxchg to unlock the osq and found that its contended.

It uses per-cpu nodes, where a thread obtaining the lock would access and queue the local node corresponding to the CPU that it's running on. Currently, the cancellable MCS lock is implemented by using pointers to these nodes. In this patch, instead of operating on pointers to the per-cpu nodes, we store the CPU numbers in which the per-cpu nodes correspond to in atomic_t. A similar concept is used with the qspinlock. By operating on the CPU # of the nodes using atomic_t instead of pointers to those nodes, this can reduce the overhead of the cancellable MCS spinlock by 32 bits (on 64 bit systems).

| * locking/rwsem: Allow conservative optimistic spinning when readers have lockJason Low2014-07-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 4fc828e24cd9 ("locking/rwsem: Support optimistic spinning") introduced a major performance regression for workloads such as xfs_repair which mix read and write locking of the mmap_sem across many threads. The result was xfs_repair ran 5x slower on 3.16-rc2 than on 3.15 and using 20x more system CPU time. Perf profiles indicate in some workloads that significant time can be spent spinning on !owner. This is because we don't set the lock owner when readers(s) obtain the rwsem. In this patch, we'll modify rwsem_can_spin_on_owner() such that we'll return false if there is no lock owner. The rationale is that if we just entered the slowpath, yet there is no lock owner, then there is a possibility that a reader has the lock. To be conservative, we'll avoid spinning in these situations. This patch reduced the total run time of the xfs_repair workload from about 4 minutes 24 seconds down to approximately 1 minute 26 seconds, back to close to the same performance as on 3.15. Retesting of AIM7, which were some of the workloads used to test the original optimistic spinning code, confirmed that we still get big performance gains with optimistic spinning, even with this additional regression fix. Davidlohr found that while the 'custom' workload took a performance hit of ~-14% to throughput for >300 users with this additional patch, the overall gain with optimistic spinning is still ~+45%. The 'disk' workload even improved by ~+15% at >1000 users.

On 32 bit x86, in the !__HAVE_ARCH_CMPXCHG case, __mutex_trylock_fastpath() calls directly into __mutex_trylock_slowpath() regardless of whether or not the mutex is locked. In __mutex_trylock_slowpath(), we then acquire the wait_lock spinlock, xchg() lock->count with -1, then set lock->count back to 0 if there are no waiters, and return true if the prev lock count was 1. However, if the mutex is already locked, then there isn't much point in attempting all of the above expensive operations. In this patch, we only attempt the above trylock operations if the mutex is unlocked.

This patch changes it so that we only try-acquire the mutex upon entering the slowpath if it is unlocked, rather than if the lock count is non-negative. This helps further reduce unnecessary atomic xchg() operations. Furthermore, this patch uses !mutex_is_locked(lock) to do the initial checks for if the lock is free rather than directly calling atomic_read() on the lock->count, in order to improve readability.

Based on feedback from the discussion in the earlier version of this patchset, the macro is not very readable. Furthermore, checking lock->count isn't always the correct way to determine if there are "no waiters" on a mutex. For example, a negative count on a mutex really only means that there "potentially" are waiters. Likewise, there can be waiters on the mutex even if the count is non-negative. Thus, "MUTEX_SHOW_NO_WAITER" doesn't always do what the name of the macro suggests. So this patch deletes the MUTEX_SHOW_NO_WAITERS() macro, directly use atomic_read() instead of the macro, and adds comments which elaborate on how the extra atomic_read() checks can help reduce unnecessary xchg() operations.

Plug the race by changing the slow unlock to the following scheme: while (!rt_mutex_has_waiters(m)) { /* Clear the waiters bit in m->owner */ clear_rt_mutex_waiters(m); owner = rt_mutex_owner(m); spin_unlock(m->wait_lock); if (cmpxchg(m->owner, owner, 0) == owner) return; spin_lock(m->wait_lock); } So in case of a new waiter incoming while the owner tries the slow path unlock we have two situations: unlock(wait_lock); lock(wait_lock); cmpxchg(p, owner, 0) == owner mark_rt_mutex_waiters(lock); acquire(lock); Or: unlock(wait_lock); lock(wait_lock); mark_rt_mutex_waiters(lock); cmpxchg(p, owner, 0) != owner enqueue_waiter(); unlock(wait_lock); lock(wait_lock); wakeup_next waiter(); unlock(wait_lock); lock(wait_lock); acquire(lock); If the fast path is disabled, then the simple m->owner = NULL; unlock(m->wait_lock); is sufficient as all access to m->owner is serialized via m->wait_lock; Also document and clarify the wakeup_next_waiter function as suggested by Oleg Nesterov.

So the lock chain can change under us before we reacquire the locks. That's harmless in principle as we just follow the wrong lock path. But it can lead to a false positive in the dead lock detection logic: T0 holds L0 T0 blocks on L1 held by T1 T1 blocks on L2 held by T2 T2 blocks on L3 held by T3 T4 blocks on L4 held by T4 Now we walk the chain lock T1 -> lock L2 -> adjust L2 -> unlock T1 -> lock T2 -> adjust T2 -> drop locks T2 times out and blocks on L0 Now we continue: lock T2 -> lock L0 -> deadlock detected, but it's not a deadlock at all. Brad tried to work around that in the deadlock detection logic itself, but the more I looked at it the less I liked it, because it's crystal ball magic after the fact. We actually can detect a chain change very simple: lock T1 -> lock L2 -> adjust L2 -> unlock T1 -> lock T2 -> adjust T2 -> next_lock = T2->pi_blocked_on->lock; drop locks T2 times out and blocks on L0 Now we continue: lock T2 -> if (next_lock != T2->pi_blocked_on->lock) return; So if we detect that T2 is now blocked on a different lock we stop the chain walk. That's also correct in the following scenario: lock T1 -> lock L2 -> adjust L2 -> unlock T1 -> lock T2 -> adjust T2 -> next_lock = T2->pi_blocked_on->lock; drop locks T3 times out and drops L3 T2 acquires L3 and blocks on L4 now Now we continue: lock T2 -> if (next_lock != T2->pi_blocked_on->lock) return; We don't have to follow up the chain at that point, because T2 propagated our priority up to T4 already.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Even in the case when deadlock detection is not requested by the caller, we can detect deadlocks.

Return -EDEADLK unconditionally and handle it at the call sites. The futex calls return -EDEADLK. The non futex ones dequeue the waiter, throw a warning and put the task into a schedule loop.

This includes the use of heuristics and optimistic spinning, based on MCS locking techniques. Exclusive ownership of read-write semaphores are, conceptually, just about the same as mutexes, making them close cousins. To this end we need to make them both perform similarly, and right now, rwsems are simply not up to it. This was discovered by both reverting commit 4fc3f1d6 (mm/rmap, migration: Make rmap_walk_anon() and try_to_unmap_anon() more scalable) and similarly, converting some other mutexes (ie: i_mmap_mutex) to rwsems. This creates a situation where users have to choose between a rwsem and mutex taking into account this important performance difference. Specifically, biggest difference between both locks is when we fail to acquire a mutex in the fastpath, optimistic spinning comes in to play and we can avoid a large amount of unnecessary sleeping and overhead of moving tasks in and out of wait queue. Rwsems do not have such logic. This patch, based on the work from Tim Chen and I, adds support for write-side optimistic spinning when the lock is contended. It also includes support for the recently added cancelable MCS locking for adaptive spinning. Note that is is only applicable to the xadd method, and the spinlock rwsem variant remains intact. Allowing optimistic spinning before putting the writer on the wait queue reduces wait queue contention and provided greater chance for the rwsem to get acquired. With these changes, rwsem is on par with mutex. The performance benefits can be seen on a number of workloads. For instance, on a 8 socket, 80 core 64bit Westmere box, aim7 shows the following improvements in throughput: +--------------+---------------------+-----------------+ | Workload | throughput-increase | number of users | +--------------+---------------------+-----------------+ | alltests | 20% | >1000 | | custom | 27%, 60% | 10-100, >1000 | | high_systime | 36%, 30% | >100, >1000 | | shared | 58%, 29% | 10-100, >1000 | +--------------+---------------------+-----------------+ There was also improvement on smaller systems, such as a quad-core x86-64 laptop running a 30Gb PostgreSQL (pgbench) workload for up to +60% in throughput for over 50 clients. Additionally, benefits were also noticed in exim (mail server) workloads. Furthermore, no performance regression have been seen at all.

Hopefully it will be useful for future maintenance of the code and for people to get up to speed on how the logic in the code works.

Note, * top_waiter can be NULL, when we are in the deboosting * mode! */ if (top_waiter && (!task_has_pi_waiters(task) || top_waiter != task_top_pi_waiter(task))) goto out_unlock_pi; So this not only exits when the task has no waiters, it also exits unconditionally when the current waiter is not the top priority waiter of the task. So in a nested locking scenario, it might abort the lock chain walk and therefor miss a potential deadlock. Simple fix: Continue the chain walk, when deadlock detection is enabled. We also avoid the whole enqueue, if we detect the deadlock right away (A-A). It's an optimization, but also prevents that another waiter who comes in after the detection and before the task has undone the damage observes the situation and detects the deadlock and returns -EDEADLOCK, which is wrong as the other task is not in a deadlock situation.
