What means waiting with interrupts disabled?
Spinning? Why would you want to do that in the first place?
There are not a lot of use cases to do so, except for core code.

`CondVar` wraps a wait queue, and `CondVar::wait` accepts a `Guard` so
that it will 1) prepare the wait 2) drop lock and schedule 3) regrab the
lock. The usage of it loosk like:
let cv: CondVar = ...;
let l: Lock<...> = ...;
let mut guard = l.lock(); // or the `guard` can be generated by the
// lock_with_new() function.
while *guard != 1 {
cv.wait(guard); // here we drop the lock and wait.
// lock is re-grabbed.
}
2) is implemented by the `unlock()` function of a lock backend (plus a
schedule()), and 3) is implemented by the `relock()` function a lock
backend. Currently SpinLockIrqBackend (the backend of SpinLockIrq)
doesn't re-enable interrupts in `unlock()`, and of course it doesn't
disable interrupts in `relock()`, and this is actually correct, because
SpinLockIrq expects the caller to provide `IrqDisabled` token, so it
doesn't handle the interrupt state itself, therefore `unlock()` cannot
enable interrupts.
But that makes `cv.wait()` not working, because interrtups would be
still disabled when schedule() is called.
I'm waiting for Lyude's new version (with lock_first(), and
unlock_last()) to see how we can resolve this. We may need to redesign
`CondVar::wait`.

The use case currently is that a timer callback need to modify something
inside a lock, that makes the lock irq-unsafe, if a task is waiting for
this modification, it would need to use `CondVar` to do the wait.

Thinking more about this. I think there is a more general problem here.
Much of the rust effort today is trying to emulate the existing way how
the C implementations work.
I think that's fundamentally wrong because a lot of the programming
patterns in the kernel are fundamentally wrong in C as well. They are
just proliferated technical debt.
What should be done is to look at it from the rust perspective in the
first place: How should this stuff be implemented correctly?
Then you work from there and go the extra mile to create some creative
workarounds at the abstraction level instead of trying to mimic the
existing C nonsense.
Which in turn gives you a way cleaner pattern of implementing stuff in
rust.
Stop worrying about mostly irrelevant low level details which are not
relevant to the primary audience of rust adoption. We can worry about
them when we replace the scheduler and the low level interrupt handling
code ten years down the road.
Please focus on providing a sane and efficient programming environment
to get actual stuff (drivers) into the rust domain.
Thanks,

JFYI - this was why I had tried diverging from how the C api does things when I originally started this series and what I had been trying to get at with my original reply to you. The first design I had was basically just wrong, but of course that's what patch review is for! But yeah - that's kind of been our goal with a lot of this. Or at the very least it's certainly been mine :). My priorities in order of importance: * Do the technically correct thing, and come up with a solution that provides as much or more error checking then the C side of things * Mimic C APIs where it doesn't compromise on the above point ^, just for ease of adoption We already have a number of APIs (the WIP DRM bindings for instance) where we diverge pretty substantially from how things would be done in C for the reasons you mentioned. > > Which in turn gives you a way cleaner pattern of implementing stuff in > rust. > > Stop worrying about mostly irrelevant low level details which are not > relevant to the primary audience of rust adoption.

One of things that can help is handling nested interruption disabling differently: we can do something similar as preemption disable, i.e. using a percpu counter to record the level of interrupt disabling, as a result, SpinLockIrq::lock() just increases the counter and return the Guard, when the Guard drops the counter decreases. In this way, no matter what’s the order of Guard dropping, we remain correctly on interrupt disable states. I can implement a new set of local_irq_*() in this way and let Rust use this. Thoughts?

Hi Thomas,
So this series is what I proposed, previously, because the nested
interrupt API in C is local_irq_save() and local_irq_restore(), the
following Rust code has the problem of enabling interrupt earlier:
// l1 and l2 are interrupt disabling locks, their guards (i.e.
// return of lock()) can be used to track interrupt state.
// interrupts are enabled in the beginning.
let g1 = l1.lock(); // previous interrupt state is enabled.
let g2 = l2.lock(); // previous interrupt state is disabled.
drop(g1); // release l1, if we use g1's state, interrupt will be
// enabled. But this is obviously wrong. Because g2
// can only exist with interrupt disabled.
With the new interrupt disable and enable API, instead of a "unsigned
long", a percpu variable is used to track the outermost interrupt state
and the nested level, so that "drop(g1);" above won't enable interrupts.
Although this requires extra cost, but I think it might be worth paying,
because this could make Rust's SpinLockIrq simply use a guard interface
as SpinLock.
Of course, looking for any comments and suggestions.

Yes, it seems to work:

I used rust-next minus the alloc patches as base. An addional
try_lock() due to
https://github.com/Rust-for-Linux/linux/commit/f4c2c90bb7b4ae1812dbaca15d9637eecaac2c9f
is needed for that. But thats all I noticed so far :)

We sort of still have that: for example, in your timer example, because we know
the interrupt is disabled in a timer callback (when it’s executed in hardirq context),
we can do:
let irq = unsafe { InterruptDisabled::assume_interrupt_disabled() };
let guard = this.flag.lock_with(irq);
This will save us one unnecessary interrupt disable.
Thanks for trying this out!
Regards,
Boqun
> Best regards,
> Andreas
Currently the nested interrupt disabling and enabling is present by
_irqsave() and _irqrestore() APIs, which are relatively unsafe, for
example:
<interrupts are enabled as beginning>
spin_lock_irqsave(l1, flag1);
spin_lock_irqsave(l2, flag2);
spin_unlock_irqrestore(l1, flags1);
<l2 is still held but interrupts are enabled>
// accesses to interrupt-disable protect data will cause races.
This is even easier to triggered with guard facilities:
unsigned long flag2;
scoped_guard(spin_lock_irqsave, l1) {
spin_lock_irqsave(l2, flag2);
}
// l2 locked but interrupts are enabled.
spin_unlock_irqrestore(l2, flag2);
(Hand-to-hand locking critical sections are not uncommon for a
fine-grained lock design)
And because this unsafety, Rust cannot easily wrap the
interrupt-disabling locks in a safe API, which complicates the design.
To resolve this, introduce a new set of interrupt disabling APIs:
* local_interrupt_disalbe();
* local_interrupt_enable();
They work like local_irq_save() and local_irq_restore() except that 1)
the outermost local_interrupt_disable() call save the interrupt state
into a percpu variable, so that the outermost local_interrupt_enable()
can restore the state, and 2) a percpu counter is added to record the
nest level of these calls, so that interrupts are not accidentally
enabled inside the outermost critical section.
Also add the corresponding spin_lock primitives: spin_lock_irq_disable()
and spin_unlock_irq_enable(), as a result, code as follow:
spin_lock_irq_disable(l1);
spin_lock_irq_disable(l2);
spin_unlock_irq_enable(l1);
// Interrupts are still disabled.
spin_unlock_irq_enable(l2);
doesn't have the issue that interrupts are accidentally enabled.
This also makes the wrapper of interrupt-disabling locks on Rust easier
to design.

Ideally you make that part of the preemption count. Bit 24-30 are free
(or we can move them around as needed). That's deep enough and you get
the debug sanity checking of the preemption counter for free (might need
some extra debug for this...)
So then this becomes:
local_interrupt_disable()
{
cnt = preempt_count_add_return(LOCALIRQ_OFFSET);
if ((cnt & LOCALIRQ_MASK) == LOCALIRQ_OFFSET) {
local_irq_save(flags);
this_cpu_write(..., flags);
}
}
and
local_interrupt_enable()
{
if ((preempt_count() & LOCALIRQ_MASK) == LOCALIRQ_OFFSET) {
local_irq_restore(this_cpu_read(...flags);
preempt_count_sub_test_resched(LOCALIRQ_OFFSET);
} else {
// Does not need a resched test because it's not going
// to 0
preempt_count_sub(LOCALIRQ_OFFSET);
}
}
and then the lock thing becomes
spin_lock_irq_disable()
{
local_interrupt_disable();
lock();
}
spin_unlock_irq_enable()
{
unlock();
local_interrupt_enable();
}
instead having to do:
spin_unlock_irq_enable()
{
unlock();
local_interrupt_enable();
preempt_enable();
}
Which needs two distinct checks, one for the interrupt and one for the
preemption counter. Hmm?
Thanks,

Yes, this looks nice, one tiny problem is that it requires
PREEMPT_COUNT=y ;-) Maybe we can do: if PREEMPT_COUNT=y, we use preempt
count, otherwise use a percpu?
Hmm... but this will essentially be: we have a irq_disable_count() which
is always built-in, and we also uses it as preempt count if
PREEMPT_COUNT=y. This doesn't look too bad to me.

No? Because now since we fold the interrupt disable count into preempt
count, so we don't need to care about preempt count any more if we we
local_interrupt_{disable,enable}(). For example, in the above
local_interrupt_enable(), interrupts are checked at local_irq_restore()
and preemption is checked at preempt_count_sub_test_resched(). Right?

The preempt counter is always there even when PREEMPT_COUNT=n. It's
required for tracking hard/soft interrupt and NMI context.
The only difference is that preempt_disable()/enable() are NOOPs. So in
that case preempt_count_sub_test_resched() becomes a plain preempt_count_sub().

Correct. That's what I pointed out. By folding it into preempt count
this becomes one operation, while in your POC it's two distinct checks
and operations.

Yes, I seemed to mis-read what you meant previously, much clear now, let
me put this into implementation for a POC v2.

Urgh, so we've already had trouble that nested spinlocks bust through the 0xff preempt mask (because lunacy). You sure you want to be this stingy with bits? We still have a few holes in pcpu_hot iirc.

Seriously? Such overflow should just panic the kernel. That's broken by
definition.
> You sure you want to be this stingy with bits?
Anything above 64 nest levels is beyond insane.
But if we want to support insanity then we make preempt count 64 bit and
be done with it. But no, I don't think that encouraging insanity is a
good thing.
> We still have a few holes in pcpu_hot iirc.
On x86. Sure.
But that's still an extra conditional while when you stick it into
preemption count it's _ONE_ conditional for both and not _TWO_
It actually makes a lot of sense even for the non rust case to avoid
local_irq_save/restore. We discussed that for years and I surely have
some half finished patch set to implement it somewhere in the poison
cabinet.
The reason why we did not go for it is that we wanted to implement a
lazy interrupt disable scheme back then, i.e. just rely on the counter
and when the interrupt comes in, disable interrupts for real and then
reinject them when the counter goes to zero. That turned out to be
horribly complex and not worth the trouble.
But this scheme is different as it only avoids nested irq_save() and
allows to use guards with the locking scheme Bogun pointed out.
It's even a win in C because you don't have to worry about lock_irq()
vs. lock_irqsave() anymore and just use lock_irq_disable() or whatever
the bike shed painting debate will decide on.

Completely agree. Plus, more often then not even in a substantially complicated piece of code that's dealing with the interrupt state, it's not common to have that many nest levels because critical sections like that should be small and self-contained anyhow. > > > It actually makes a lot of sense even for the non rust case to avoid > > local_irq_save/restore.

I wish we could come up with a lightweight check for that.

Since the preempt part takes exactly one byte in the preempt counter,
maybe we could use a "incb + jo"?
For example as below, note that since I used OF here, so it will try the
byte as s8 therefore overflow at 128, so 127 is the max level of
nesting.
Would this be a relatively lightweight check?

That's definitely an interesting thought, though it adds a conditional
into preempt_disable(). We should try and see whether it's significant.

Anyway, if we want to use the same thing for the interrupt disable depth, we need another byte, meaning we need to compress the NEED_RESCHED, NMI and HARDIRQ masks into a single byte. Might just be possible I suppose.
I like this so far (at least, assuming we consider making
raw_spin_lock_irq_disable() and enable() temporary names, and then following
up with some automated conversions across the kernel using coccinelle).
This would definitely dramatically simplify things on the rust end as well,
and also clean up C code since we won't have to explicitly keep previous IRQ
flag information around. We can -technically- handle interfaces that allow for
re-enabling interrupts temporarily, but the safety contract I came up with for
doing that is so complex this would clearly be the better option. Then all of
it can be safe :)
As well too - this might give us the opportunity to add error checking for
APIs for stuff like Condvar on the C end: as we could add an explicit function
like:
__local_interrupts_enable
That helper code for things like conditional variables can use for "enable
interrupts, and warn if that's not possible due to a previous interrupt
decrement".

Well, I hated adding a 3rd spinlock API enough that I tried replacing the whole of irqsave/irqrestore with this thing in one go, and that is utterly failing to boot :-( Coccinelle isn't going to help I'm afraid.

From: Lyude Paul <lyude@redhat.com>
This introduces a module for dealing with interrupt-disabled contexts,
including the ability to enable and disable interrupts along with the
ability to annotate functions as expecting that IRQs are already
disabled on the local CPU.
[Boqun: This is based on Lyude's work on interrupt disable abstraction,
I port to the new local_interrupt_disable() mechanism to make it work
as a guard type. I cannot even take the credit of this design, since
Lyude also brought up the same idea in zulip. Anyway, this is only for
POC purpose, and of course all bugs are mine]

A variant of SpinLock that is expected to be used in noirq contexts, so
lock() will disable interrupts and unlock() (i.e. `Guard::drop()` will
undo the interrupt disable.

From: Lyude Paul <lyude@redhat.com>
Now that we've introduced an `InterruptDisabled` token for marking
contexts in which IRQs are disabled, we can have a way to avoid
`SpinLockIrq` disabling interrupts if the interrupts have already been
disabled. Basically, a `SpinLockIrq` should work like a `SpinLock` if
interrupts are disabled. So a function:
(&'a SpinLockIrq, &'a InterruptDisabled) -> Guard<'a, .., SpinLockBackend>
makes senses. Note that due to `Guard` and `InterruptDisabled` has the
same lifetime, interrupts cannot be enabled whiel the Guard exists.
Add a `lock_with()` interface for `Lock`, and an associate type of
`Backend` to describe the context.
[Boqun: Change the interface a lot, now `SpinLockIrq` can use the
`lock()` function, but it always disable the interrupts, reuse the
`lock_with()` method to provide a way for locking if interrupts are
already disabled. `lock_with()` implementation will be added later.]

2.45.2`SpinLock`'s backend can be used for `SpinLockIrq`, if the interrupts
are disabled. And it actually provides performance gains since
interrupts are not needed to be disabled anymore. So add
`Backend::BackendInContext` to describe the case where one backend can
be used for another. Use the it to implement the `lock_with()` so that
`SpinLockIrq` can avoid disabling interrupts by using `SpinLock`'s
backend.
