From d7d760efad70c7a030725499bf9f342f04af24dd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Waiman Long Date: Tue, 15 May 2018 17:49:50 -0400 Subject: locking/rwsem: Add a new RWSEM_ANONYMOUSLY_OWNED flag There are use cases where a rwsem can be acquired by one task, but released by another task. In thess cases, optimistic spinning may need to be disabled. One example will be the filesystem freeze/thaw code where the task that freezes the filesystem will acquire a write lock on a rwsem and then un-owns it before returning to userspace. Later on, another task will come along, acquire the ownership, thaw the filesystem and release the rwsem. Bit 0 of the owner field was used to designate that it is a reader owned rwsem. It is now repurposed to mean that the owner of the rwsem is not known. If only bit 0 is set, the rwsem is reader owned. If bit 0 and other bits are set, it is writer owned with an unknown owner. One such value for the latter case is (-1L). So we can set owner to 1 for reader-owned, -1 for writer-owned. The owner is unknown in both cases. To handle transfer of rwsem ownership, the higher level code should set the owner field to -1 to indicate a write-locked rwsem with unknown owner. Optimistic spinning will be disabled in this case. Once the higher level code figures who the new owner is, it can then set the owner field accordingly.

However, the new rwsem debug code runs afoul with this scheme by warning that the task that releases the rwsem isn't the one that acquires it, as reported by Amir Goldstein: DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(sem->owner != get_current()) WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 1401 at /home/amir/build/src/linux/kernel/locking/rwsem.c:133 up_write+0x59/0x79 Call Trace: percpu_up_write+0x1f/0x28 thaw_super_locked+0xdf/0x120 do_vfs_ioctl+0x270/0x5f1 ksys_ioctl+0x52/0x71 __x64_sys_ioctl+0x16/0x19 do_syscall_64+0x5d/0x167 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x49/0xbe To work properly with the rwsem debug code, we need to annotate that the rwsem ownership is unknown during the tranfer period until a brave soul comes forward to acquire the ownership. During that period, optimistic spinning will be disabled.
