Subject: [PATCH v3 2/3] mutex: add support for wound/wait style locks, v3
Changes since RFC patch v1:
- Updated to use atomic_long instead of atomic, since the reservation_id was a long.
- added mutex_reserve_lock_slow and mutex_reserve_lock_intr_slow
- removed mutex_locked_set_reservation_id (or w/e it was called)
Changes since RFC patch v2:
- remove use of __mutex_lock_retval_arg, add warnings when using wrong combination of
mutex_(,reserve_)lock/unlock.
Changes since v1:
- Add __always_inline to __mutex_lock_common, otherwise reservation paths can be
triggered from normal locks, because __builtin_constant_p might evaluate to false
for the constant 0 in that case. Tests for this have been added in the next patch.
- Updated documentation slightly.
Changes since v2:
- Renamed everything to ww_mutex. (mlankhorst)
- Added ww_acquire_ctx and ww_class. (mlankhorst)
- Added a lot of checks for wrong api usage. (mlankhorst)
- Documentation updates. (danvet)

+Wait/Wound Deadlock-Proof Mutex Design
+======================================
+
+Please read mutex-design.txt first, as it applies to wait/wound mutexes too.
+
+Motivation for WW-Mutexes
+-------------------------
+
+GPU's do operations that commonly involve many buffers. Those buffers
+can be shared across contexts/processes, exist in different memory
+domains (for example VRAM vs system memory), and so on. And with
+PRIME / dmabuf, they can even be shared across devices. So there are
+a handful of situations where the driver needs to wait for buffers to
+become ready. If you think about this in terms of waiting on a buffer
+mutex for it to become available, this presents a problem because
+there is no way to guarantee that buffers appear in a execbuf/batch in
+the same order in all contexts. That is directly under control of
+userspace, and a result of the sequence of GL calls that an application
+makes. Which results in the potential for deadlock. The problem gets
+more complex when you consider that the kernel may need to migrate the
+buffer(s) into VRAM before the GPU operates on the buffer(s), which
+may in turn require evicting some other buffers (and you don't want to
+evict other buffers which are already queued up to the GPU), but for a
+simplified understanding of the problem you can ignore this.
+
+The algorithm that TTM came up with for dealing with this problem is quite
+simple. For each group of buffers (execbuf) that need to be locked, the caller
+would be assigned a unique reservation id/ticket, from a global counter. In
+case of deadlock while locking all the buffers associated with a execbuf, the
+one with the lowest reservation ticket (i.e. the oldest task) wins, and the one
+with the higher reservation id (i.e. the younger task) unlocks all of the
+buffers that it has already locked, and then tries again.
+
+In the RDBMS literature this deadlock handling approach is called wait/wound:
+The older tasks waits until it can acquire the contended lock. The younger tasks
+needs to back off and drop all the locks it is currently holding, i.e. the
+younger task is wounded.
+
+Concepts
+--------
+
+Compared to normal mutexes two additional concepts/objects show up in the lock
+interface for w/w mutexes:
+
+Acquire context: To ensure eventual forward progress it is important the a task
+trying to acquire locks doesn't grab a new reservation id, but keeps the one it
+acquired when starting the lock acquisition. This ticket is stored in the
+acquire context. Furthermore the acquire context keeps track of debugging state
+to catch w/w mutex interface abuse.
+
+W/w class: In contrast to normal mutexes the lock class needs to be explicit for
+w/w mutexes, since it is required to initialize the acquire context.
+
+Furthermore there are three different classe of w/w lock acquire functions:
+- Normal lock acquisition with a context, using ww_mutex_lock
+- Slowpath lock acquisition on the contending lock, used by the wounded task
+ after having dropped all already acquired locks. These functions have the
+ _slow postfix.
+- Functions to only acquire a single w/w mutex, which results in the exact same
+ semantics as a normal mutex. These functions have the _single postfix.
+
+Of course, all the usual variants for handling wake-ups due to signals are also
+provided.
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+Three different ways to acquire locks within the same w/w class. Common
+definitions for methods 1&2.
+
+static DEFINE_WW_CLASS(ww_class);
+
+struct obj {
+ sct ww_mutex lock;
+ /* obj data */
+};
+
+struct obj_entry {
+ struct list_head *list;
+ struct obj *obj;
+};
+
+Method 1, using a list in execbuf->buffers that's not allowed to be reordered.
+This is useful if a list of required objects is already tracked somewhere.
+Furthermore the lock helper can use propagate the -EALREADY return code back to
+the caller as a signal that an object is twice on the list. This is useful if
+the list is constructed from userspace input and the ABI requires userspace to
+no have duplicate entries (e.g. for a gpu commandbuffer submission ioctl).
+
+int lock_objs(struct list_head *list, struct ww_acquire_ctx *ctx)
+{
+ struct obj *res_obj = NULL;
+ struct obj_entry *contended_entry = NULL;
+ struct obj_entry *entry;
+
+ ww_acquire_init(ctx, &ww_class);
+
+retry:
+ list_for_each_entry (list, entry) {
+ if (entry == res_obj) {
+ res_obj = NULL;
+ continue;
+ }
+ ret = ww_mutex_lock(&entry->obj->lock, ctx);
+ if (ret < 0) {
+ contended_obj = entry;
+ goto err;
+ }
+ }
+
+ ww_acquire_done(ctx);
+ return 0;
+
+err:
+ list_for_each_entry_continue_reverse (list, contended_entry, entry)
+ ww_mutex_unlock(&entry->obj->lock);
+
+ if (res_obj)
+ ww_mutex_unlock(&res_obj->lock);
+
+ if (ret == -EDEADLK) {
+ /* we lost out in a seqno race, lock and retry.. */
+ ww_mutex_lock_slow(&contended_entry->obj->lock, ctx);
+ res_obj = contended_entry->obj;
+ goto retry;
+ }
+ ww_acquire_fini(ctx);
+
+ return ret;
+}
+
+Method 2, using a list in execbuf->buffers that can be reordered. Same semantics
+of duplicate entry detection using -EALREADY as method 1 above. But the
+list-reordering allows for a bit more idiomatic code.
+
+int lock_objs(struct list_head *list, struct ww_acquire_ctx *ctx)
+{
+ struct obj_entry *entry, *entry2;
+
+ ww_acquire_init(ctx, &ww_class);
+
+ list_for_each_entry (list, entry) {
+ ret = ww_mutex_lock(&entry->obj->lock, ctx);
+ if (ret < 0) {
+ entry2 = entry;
+
+ list_for_each_entry_continue_reverse (list, entry2)
+ ww_mutex_unlock(&entry->obj->lock);
+
+ if (ret != -EDEADLK) {
+ ww_acquire_fini(ctx);
+ return ret;
+ }
+
+ /* we lost out in a seqno race, lock and retry.. */
+ ww_mutex_lock_slow(&entry->obj->lock, ctx);
+
+ /*
+ * Move buf to head of the list, this will point
+ * buf->next to the first unlocked entry,
+ * restarting the for loop.
+ */
+ list_del(&entry->list);
+ list_add(&entry->list, list);
+ }
+ }
+
+ ww_acquire_done(ctx);
+ return 0;
+}
+
+Unlocking works the same way for both methods 1&2:
+
+void unlock_objs(struct list_head *list, struct ww_acquire_ctx *ctx)
+{
+ struct obj_entry *entry;
+
+ list_for_each_entry (list, entry)
+ ww_mutex_unlock(&entry->obj->lock);
+
+ ww_acquire_fini(ctx);
+}
+
+Method 3 is useful if the list of objects is constructed ad-hoc and not upfront,
+e.g. when adjusting edges in a graph where each node has its own ww_mutex lock,
+and edges can only be changed when holding the locks of all involved nodes. w/w
+mutexes are a natural fit for such a case for two reasons:
+- They can handle lock-acquisition in any order which allows us to start walking
+ a graph from a starting point and then iteratively discovering new edges and
+ locking down the nodes those edges connect to.
+- Due to the -EALREADY return code signalling that a given objects is already
+ held there's no need for additional book-keeping to break cycles in the graph
+ or keep track off which looks are already held (when using more than one node
+ as a starting point).
+
+Note that this approach differs in two important ways from the above methods:
+- Since the list of objects is dynamically constructed (and might very well be
+ different when retrying due to hitting the -EDEADLK wound condition) there's
+ no need to keep any object on a persistent list when it's not locked. We can
+ therefore move the list_head into the object itself.
+- Otoh the dynamic object list construction also means that the -EALREADY return
+ code can't be propagated.
+
+Note also that methodes 1&2 and method 3 can be combined, e.g. to first lock a
+list of starting nodes (passed in from userspace) using one of the above
+methods. And then lock any additional objects affected by the operations using
+method 3 below. The backoff/retry procedure will be a bit more involved, since
+when the dynamic locking step hits -EDEADLK we also need to unlock all the
+objects acquired with the fixed list. But the w/w mutex debug checks will catch
+any interface misuse for these cases.
+
+Also, method 3 can't fail the lock acquisition step since it doesn't return
+-EALREADY. Of course this would be different when using the _interruptible
+variants, but that's outside of the scope of these examples here.
+
+struct obj {
+ struct ww_mutex ww_mutex;
+ struct list_head locked_list;
+};
+
+static DEFINE_WW_CLASS(ww_class);
+
+void __unlock_objs(struct list_head *list, struct ww_acquire_ctx *ctx)
+{
+ struct obj entry;
+
+ for_each_safe (list, entry) {
+ /* need to do that before unlocking, since only the current lock holder is
+ allowed to use object */
+ list_del(entry->locked_list);
+ ww_mutex_unlock(entry->ww_mutex)
+ }
+}
+
+void lock_objs(struct list_head *list, struct ww_acquire_ctx *ctx)
+{
+ struct list_head locked_buffers;
+ struct obj obj = NULL, entry;
+
+ ww_acquire_init(ctx, &ww_class);
+
+retry:
+ /* re-init loop start state */
+ loop {
+ /* magic code which walks over a graph and decides which objects
+ * to lock */
+
+ ret = ww_mutex_lock(obj->ww_mutex, ctx);
+ if (ret == -EALREADY) {
+ /* we have that one already, get to the next object */
+ continue;
+ }
+ if (ret == -EDEADLK) {
+ __unlock_objs(list, ctx);
+
+ ww_mutex_lock_slow(obj);
+ list_add(locked_buffers, entry->locked_list);
+ goto retry;
+ }
+
+ /* locked a new object, add it to the list */
+ list_add(locked_buffers, entry->locked_list);
+ }
+
+ ww_acquire_done(ctx);
+ return 0;
+}
+
+void unlock_objs(struct list_head *list, struct ww_acquire_ctx *ctx)
+{
+ __unlock_objs(list, ctx);
+ ww_acquire_fini(ctx);
+}
+
+Method 4: Only lock one single objects. In that case deadlock detection and
+prevention is obviously overkill, since with grabbing just one lock you can't
+produce a deadlock within just one class. To simplify this case the w/w mutex
+api provides a set of lock/unlock_single functions which don't require an
+acquire context.
+
+Implementation Details
+----------------------
+
+Design:
+ ww_mutex currently encapsulates a struct mutex, this means no extra overhead for
+ normal mutex locks, which are far more common. As such there is only a small
+ increase in code size if wait/wound mutexes are not used.
+
+ In general, not much contention is expected. The locks are typically used to
+ serialize access to resources for devices. The only way to make wakeups
+ smarter would be at the cost of adding a field to struct mutex_waiter. This
+ would add overhead to all cases where normal mutexes are used, and
+ ww_mutexes are generally less performance sensitive.
+
+Lockdep:
+ Special care has been taken to warn for as many cases of api abuse
+ as possible. Some common api abuses will be caught with
+ CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES, but CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING is recommended.
+
+ Some of the errors which will be warned about:
+ - Forgetting to call ww_acquire_fini or ww_acquire_init.
+ - Attempting to lock more mutexes after ww_acquire_done.
+ - Attempting to lock more mutexes after -EDEADLK,
+ before calling ww_mutex_lock_slow.
+
+ - Calling ww_mutex_lock_slow with while still holding some mutexes.
+ - Calling ww_mutex_lock_slow on the wrong mutex,
+ or before -EDEADLK was returned.
+
+ - Unlocking mutexes with the wrong unlock function.
+ - Calling one of the ww_acquire_* twice on the same context.
+ - Using a different ww_class for the mutex than for the ww_acquire_ctx.
+ - Normal lockdep errors that can result in deadlocks.
+
+ Some of the lockdep errors that can result in deadlocks:
+ - Calling ww_acquire_init to initialize a second ww_acquire_ctx before
+ having called ww_acquire_fini on the first.
+ - Mixing ww_mutex_lock and ww_mutex_lock_single.
+ - 'normal' deadlocks that can occur.
+
+FIXME: Update this section once we have the TASK_DEADLOCK task state flag magic
+implemented.
