Subject: [RFC PATCH for 4.16 00/21] Restartable sequences and CPU op vector
Hi,
Following changes based on the last round of review, I'm respinning this
series for another RFC round. It is based on the v4.15-rc3 tag. I am
now targeting the 4.16 merge window.
This series contains:
- Restartable sequences system call (x86 32/64, powerpc 32/64, arm 32),
- CPU operation vector system call (x86 32/64, powerpc 32/64, arm 32).
I have moved the membarrier patches to a different series.
The main changes introduced in this updated version are:
- Introducing a user-space "percpu-op.h" API, which wraps fast and slow
paths into a single inline function,
- Changes to the cpu_opv page pinning, making it robust with respect to
concurrent PTE changes,
- Fixed a rseq bug where the rseq_cs pointer was cleared too soon,
causing hard-to-reproduce races triggered by NUMA page protection.
- Extended rseq selftests to add a "compare twice" approach validating
invaritants, which catches races more quickly and closer to the
race.
This updated series documents a major upside of the cpu_opv system call:
it allows performing operations on remote per-cpu data (e.g. migration
of memory between per-cpu memory pools, task migration across per-cpu
work queues, or summing up and clearning per-cpu statistics counters)
by simply passing the CPU number on which the operation must be
performed as argument to the system call.
Doing this without cpu_opv would require use of sched_setaffinity
alongside with restartable sequences, which is not safe against CPU
hot-unplug.
Feedback is welcome!
Thanks,
Mathieu
