Subject: [PATCH printk v4 00/39] reduce console_lock scope
This is v4 of a series to prepare for threaded/atomic
printing. v3 is here [0]. This series focuses on reducing the
scope of the BKL console_lock. It achieves this by switching to
SRCU and a dedicated mutex for console list iteration and
modification, respectively. The console_lock will no longer
offer this protection.
Also, during the review of v2 it came to our attention that
many console drivers are checking CON_ENABLED to see if they
are registered. Because this flag can change without
unregistering and because this flag does not represent an
atomic point when an (un)registration process is complete,
a new console_is_registered() function is introduced. This
function uses the console_list_lock to synchronize with the
(un)registration process to provide a reliable status.
All users of the console_lock for list iteration have been
modified. For the call sites where the console_lock is still
needed (for other reasons), comments are added to explain
exactly why the console_lock was needed.
All users of CON_ENABLED for registration status have been
modified to use console_is_registered(). Note that there are
still users of CON_ENABLED, but this is for legitimate purposes
about a registered console being able to print.
The base commit for this series is from Paul McKenney's RCU tree
and provides an NMI-safe SRCU implementation [1]. Without the
NMI-safe SRCU implementation, this series is not less safe than
mainline. But we will need the NMI-safe SRCU implementation for
atomic consoles anyway, so we might as well get it in
now. Especially since it _does_ increase the reliability for
mainline in the panic path.
Changes since v3:
general:
- Implement console_srcu_read_flags() and console_srcu_write_flags()
to be used for console->flags access under the srcu_read_lock or
console_list_lock, respectively. The functions document their
relationship to one another and use data_race(), READ_ONCE(), and
WRITE_ONCE() macros to annotate their relationship. They also make
use of lockdep to warn if used in improper contexts.
- Replace all console_is_enabled() usage with
console_srcu_read_flags() (all were under the srcu_read_lock).
serial_core:
- For uart_console_registered(), check uart_console() before taking
the console_list_lock to avoid unnecessary lock contention for
non-console ports.
m68k/emu/nfcon:
- Only explicitly enable the console if registering via debug=nfcon.
tty/serial/sh-sci:
- Add comments about why @options will always be NULL for the
earlyprintk console.
kdb:
- Add comments explaining the expectations for console drivers to
work correctly.
printk:
- Some code sites under SRCU were checking flags directly. Use
console_srcu_read_flags() instead.
- In register_console() rename bootcon_enabled/realcon_enabled to
bootcon_registered/realcon_registered to avoid confusion.
- In register_console() only check for boot console sequences if a
boot console is registered and !keep_bootcon. In this case, also
take the console_lock to guarantee safe access to console->seq.
- In console_force_preferred_locked() use hlist_del_rcu() instead of
hlist_del_init_rcu() so that there is never a window where the
console can be viewed as unregistered.
