Subject: Re: [RFC][PATCH 4/4] futex: Rewrite FUTEX_UNLOCK_PI


New version..


This one seems to pass all the (pi) futex tests and survives many hours
of my modified pi_stress (I added MADV_UNMAP to punch holes in the
page-tables to trigger (minor) faults).

Subject: futex: Rewrite FUTEX_UNLOCK_PI
From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@...radead.org>
Date: Sun Oct 2 18:42:33 CEST 2016

There's a number of 'interesting' problems with FUTEX_UNLOCK_PI, all
caused by holding hb->lock while doing the rt_mutex_unlock()
equivalient.

Notably:
 - a PI inversion on hb->lock
 - DL crash because of pointer instability.

This patch doesn't attempt to fix any of the actual problems, but
instead reworks the code to not hold hb->lock across the unlock,
paving the way to actually fix the problems later.

The current reason we hold hb->lock over unlock is that it serializes
against FUTEX_LOCK_PI and avoids new waiters from coming in, this then
ensures the rt_mutex_next_owner() value is stable and can be written
into the user-space futex value before doing the unlock. Such that the
unlock will indeed end up at new_owner.

This patch recognises that holding rt_mutex::wait_lock results in the
very same guarantee, no new waiters can come in while we hold that
lock -- after all, waiters would need this lock to queue themselves.

This (of course) is not entirely straight forward either, see the
comment in rt_mutex_slowunlock(), doing the unlock itself might drop
wait_lock, letting new waiters in.

Another problem is the case where futex_lock_pi() failed to acquire
the lock (ie. released rt_mutex::wait_lock) but hasn't yet re-acquired
hb->lock and called unqueue_me_pi(). In this case we're confused about
having waiters (the futex state says yes, the rt_mutex state says no).

The current solution is to assign the futex to the waiter from the
futex state, and have futex_lock_pi() detect this and try and fix it
up. This again, all relies on hb->lock serializing things.


Solve all that by:

 - using futex specific rt_mutex calls that lack the fastpath, futexes
   have their own fastpath anyway. This makes that
   rt_mutex_futex_unlock() doesn't need to drop rt_mutex::wait_lock
   and the unlock is guaranteed if we manage to update user state.

 - make futex_unlock_pi() drop hb->lock early and only use
   rt_mutex::wait_lock to serialize against rt_mutex waiters
   update the futex value and unlock.

 - in case futex and rt_mutex disagree on waiters, side with rt_mutex
   and simply clear the user value. This works because either there
   really are no waiters left, or futex_lock_pi() triggers the
   lock-steal path and fixes up the WAITERS flag.
