2021-08-17locking/mutex: Consolidate core headers, remove kernel/locking/mutex-debug.hThomas Gleixner1-3/+1
Having two header files which contain just the non-debug and debug variants is mostly waste of disc space and has no real value. Stick the debug variants into the common mutex.h file as counterpart to the stubs for the non-debug case.

2021-05-18locking/mutex: clear MUTEX_FLAGS if wait_list is empty due to signalZqiang1-2/+2
When a interruptible mutex locker is interrupted by a signal without acquiring this lock and removed from the wait queue. if the mutex isn't contended enough to have a waiter put into the wait queue again, the setting of the WAITER bit will force mutex locker to go into the slowpath to acquire the lock every time, so if the wait queue is empty, the WAITER bit need to be clear.

2020-03-21lockdep: Introduce wait-type checksPeter Zijlstra1-1/+1
Extend lockdep to validate lock wait-type context. The current wait-types are: LD_WAIT_FREE, /* wait free, rcu etc.. */ LD_WAIT_SPIN, /* spin loops, raw_spinlock_t etc.. */ LD_WAIT_CONFIG, /* CONFIG_PREEMPT_LOCK, spinlock_t etc.. */ LD_WAIT_SLEEP, /* sleeping locks, mutex_t etc.. */ Where lockdep validates that the current lock (the one being acquired) fits in the current wait-context (as generated by the held stack). This ensures that there is no attempt to acquire mutexes while holding spinlocks, to acquire spinlocks while holding raw_spinlocks and so on. In other words, its a more fancy might_sleep(). Obviously RCU made the entire ordeal more complex than a simple single value test because RCU can be acquired in (pretty much) any context and while it presents a context to nested locks it is not the same as it got acquired in. Therefore its necessary to split the wait_type into two values, one representing the acquire (outer) and one representing the nested context (inner). For most 'normal' locks these two are the same. [ To make static initialization easier we have the rule that: .outer == INV means .outer == .inner; because INV == 0. ] It further means that its required to find the minimal .inner of the held stack to compare against the outer of the new lock; because while 'normal' RCU presents a CONFIG type to nested locks, if it is taken while already holding a SPIN type it obviously doesn't relax the rules. Below is an example output generated by the trivial test code: raw_spin_lock(&foo); spin_lock(&bar); spin_unlock(&bar); raw_spin_unlock(&foo); [ BUG: Invalid wait context ] ----------------------------- swapper/0/1 is trying to lock: ffffc90000013f20 (&bar){....}-{3:3}, at: kernel_init+0xdb/0x187 other info that might help us debug this: 1 lock held by swapper/0/1: #0: ffffc90000013ee0 (&foo){+.+.}-{2:2}, at: kernel_init+0xd1/0x187 The way to read it is to look at the new -{n,m} part in the lock description; -{3:3} for the attempted lock, and try and match that up to the held locks, which in this case is the one: -{2,2}. This tells that the acquiring lock requires a more relaxed environment than presented by the lock stack. Currently only the normal locks and RCU are converted, the rest of the lockdep users defaults to .inner = INV which is ignored. More conversions can be done when desired. The check for spinlock_t nesting is not enabled by default. It's a separate config option for now as there are known problems which are currently addressed. The config option allows to identify these problems and to verify that the solutions found are indeed solving them. The config switch will be removed and the checks will permanently enabled once the vast majority of issues has been addressed.

2018-11-12locking/mutex: Replace spin_is_locked() with lockdepLance Roy1-2/+2
lockdep_assert_held() is better suited to checking locking requirements, since it only checks if the current thread holds the lock regardless of whether someone else does. This is also a step towards possibly removing spin_is_locked().

2016-10-25locking/mutex: Rework mutex::ownerPeter Zijlstra1-13/+0
The current mutex implementation has an atomic lock word and a non-atomic owner field. This disparity leads to a number of issues with the current mutex code as it means that we can have a locked mutex without an explicit owner (because the owner field has not been set, or already cleared). This leads to a number of weird corner cases, esp. between the optimistic spinning and debug code. Where the optimistic spinning code needs the owner field updated inside the lock region, the debug code is more relaxed because the whole lock is serialized by the wait_lock. Also, the spinning code itself has a few corner cases where we need to deal with a held lock without an owner field. Furthermore, it becomes even more of a problem when trying to fix starvation cases in the current code. We end up stacking special case on special case. To solve this rework the basic mutex implementation to be a single atomic word that contains the owner and uses the low bits for extra state. This matches how PI futexes and rt_mutex already work. By having the owner an integral part of the lock state a lot of the problems dissapear and we get a better option to deal with starvation cases, direct owner handoff. Changing the basic mutex does however invalidate all the arch specific mutex code; this patch leaves that unused in-place, a later patch will remove that.

2016-06-23locking: avoid passing around 'thread_info' in mutex debugging codeLinus Torvalds1-6/+6
None of the code actually wants a thread_info, it all wants a task_struct, and it's just converting back and forth between the two ("ti->task" to get the task_struct from the thread_info, and "task_thread_info(task)" to go the other way). No semantic change. Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2015-01-09mutex: Always clear owner field upon mutex_unlock()Chris Wilson1-1/+1
Currently if DEBUG_MUTEXES is enabled, the mutex->owner field is only cleared iff debug_locks is active. This exposes a race to other users of the field where the mutex->owner may be still set to a stale value, potentially upsetting mutex_spin_on_owner() among others.

2014-03-12locking/mutex: Fix debug checksPeter Zijlstra1-0/+6
OK, so commit: 1d8fe7dc8078 ("locking/mutexes: Unlock the mutex without the wait_lock") generates this boot warning when CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES=y: WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 139 at /usr/src/linux-2.6/kernel/locking/mutex-debug.c:82 debug_mutex_unlock+0x155/0x180() DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(lock->owner != current) And that makes sense, because as soon as we release the lock a new owner can come in... One would think that !__mutex_slowpath_needs_to_unlock() implementations suffer the same, but for DEBUG we fall back to mutex-null.h which has an unconditional 1 for that. The mutex debug code requires the mutex to be unlocked after doing the debug checks, otherwise it can find inconsistent state.

2013-12-17mutexes: Give more informative mutex warning in the !lock->owner caseChuansheng Liu1-1/+6
When mutex debugging is enabled and an imbalanced mutex_unlock() is called, we get the following, slightly confusing warning: [ 364.208284] DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(lock->owner != current) But in that case the warning is due to an imbalanced mutex_unlock() call, and the lock->owner is NULL - so the message is misleading.
