[RFC][PATCH v13 2/7] locking/mutex: Rework task_struct::blocked_on
Posted by John Stultz 2 weeks, 4 days ago
From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>

Track the blocked-on relation for mutexes, to allow following this
relation at schedule time.

   task
     | blocked-on
     v
   mutex
     | owner
     v
   task

Also add a blocked_on_state value so we can distinguish when a
task is blocked_on a mutex, but is either blocked, waking up, or
runnable (such that it can try to acquire the lock its blocked
on).

This avoids some of the subtle & racy games where the blocked_on
state gets cleared, only to have it re-added by the
mutex_lock_slowpath call when it tries to acquire the lock on
wakeup

Also add blocked_lock to the task_struct so we can safely
serialize the blocked-on state.

Finally add wrappers that are useful to provide correctness
checks. Folded in from a patch by:
  Valentin Schneider <valentin.schneider@arm.com>

This all will be used for tracking blocked-task/mutex chains
with the prox-execution patch in a similar fashion to how
priority inheritance is done with rt_mutexes.

[jstultz: Fix blocked_on tracking in __mutex_lock_common in error paths]
Signed-off-by: John Stultz <jstultz@google.com>
---
v2:
* Fixed blocked_on tracking in error paths that was causing crashes
v4:
* Ensure we clear blocked_on when waking ww_mutexes to die or wound.
  This is critical so we don't get circular blocked_on relationships
  that can't be resolved.
v5:
* Fix potential bug where the skip_wait path might clear blocked_on
  when that path never set it
* Slight tweaks to where we set blocked_on to make it consistent,
  along with extra WARN_ON correctness checking
* Minor comment changes
v7:
* Minor commit message change suggested by Metin Kaya
* Fix WARN_ON conditionals in unlock path (as blocked_on might already
  be cleared), found while looking at issue Metin Kaya raised.
* Minor tweaks to be consistent in what we do under the
  blocked_on lock, also tweaked variable name to avoid confusion
  with label, and comment typos, as suggested by Metin Kaya
* Minor tweak for CONFIG_SCHED_PROXY_EXEC name change
* Moved unused block of code to later in the series, as suggested
  by Metin Kaya
* Switch to a tri-state to be able to distinguish from waking and
  runnable so we can later safely do return migration from ttwu
* Folded together with related blocked_on changes
v8:
* Fix issue leaving task BO_BLOCKED when calling into optimistic
  spinning path.
* Include helper to better handle BO_BLOCKED->BO_WAKING transitions
v9:
* Typo fixup pointed out by Metin
* Cleanup BO_WAKING->BO_RUNNABLE transitions for the !proxy case
* Many cleanups and simplifications suggested by Metin
v11:
* Whitespace fixup pointed out by Metin
v13:
* Refactor set_blocked_on helpers clean things up a bit
