License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

locking/rwsem: Implement lock handoff to prevent lock starvation Because of writer lock stealing, it is possible that a constant stream of incoming writers will cause a waiting writer or reader to wait indefinitely leading to lock starvation. This patch implements a lock handoff mechanism to disable lock stealing and force lock handoff to the first waiter or waiters (for readers) in the queue after at least a 4ms waiting period unless it is a RT writer task which doesn't need to wait. The waiting period is used to avoid discouraging lock stealing too much to affect performance. The setting and clearing of the handoff bit is serialized by the wait_lock. So racing is not possible. A rwsem microbenchmark was run for 5 seconds on a 2-socket 40-core 80-thread Skylake system with a v5.1 based kernel and 240 write_lock threads with 5us sleep critical section. Before the patch, the min/mean/max numbers of locking operations for the locking threads were 1/7,792/173,696. After the patch, the figures became 5,842/6,542/7,458. It can be seen that the rwsem became much more fair, though there was a drop of about 16% in the mean locking operations done which was a tradeoff of having better fairness. Making the waiter set the handoff bit right after the first wakeup can impact performance especially with a mixed reader/writer workload. With the same microbenchmark with short critical section and equal number of reader and writer threads (40/40), the reader/writer locking operation counts with the current patch were: 40 readers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 1,793/1,794/1,796 40 writers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 1,793/34,956/86,081 By making waiter set handoff bit immediately after wakeup: 40 readers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 43/44/46 40 writers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 43/1,263/3,191 Signed-off-by: Waiman Long <longman@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de> Cc: Davidlohr Bueso <dave@stgolabs.net> Cc: H.

locking/rwsem: Implement lock handoff to prevent lock starvation Because of writer lock stealing, it is possible that a constant stream of incoming writers will cause a waiting writer or reader to wait indefinitely leading to lock starvation. This patch implements a lock handoff mechanism to disable lock stealing and force lock handoff to the first waiter or waiters (for readers) in the queue after at least a 4ms waiting period unless it is a RT writer task which doesn't need to wait. The waiting period is used to avoid discouraging lock stealing too much to affect performance. The setting and clearing of the handoff bit is serialized by the wait_lock. So racing is not possible. A rwsem microbenchmark was run for 5 seconds on a 2-socket 40-core 80-thread Skylake system with a v5.1 based kernel and 240 write_lock threads with 5us sleep critical section. Before the patch, the min/mean/max numbers of locking operations for the locking threads were 1/7,792/173,696. After the patch, the figures became 5,842/6,542/7,458. It can be seen that the rwsem became much more fair, though there was a drop of about 16% in the mean locking operations done which was a tradeoff of having better fairness. Making the waiter set the handoff bit right after the first wakeup can impact performance especially with a mixed reader/writer workload. With the same microbenchmark with short critical section and equal number of reader and writer threads (40/40), the reader/writer locking operation counts with the current patch were: 40 readers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 1,793/1,794/1,796 40 writers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 1,793/34,956/86,081 By making waiter set handoff bit immediately after wakeup: 40 readers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 43/44/46 40 writers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 43/1,263/3,191 Signed-off-by: Waiman Long <longman@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de> Cc: Davidlohr Bueso <dave@stgolabs.net> Cc: H.

locking/rwsem: Code cleanup after files merging After merging all the relevant rwsem code into one single file, there are a number of optimizations and cleanups that can be done: 1) Remove all the EXPORT_SYMBOL() calls for functions that are not accessed elsewhere. 2) Remove all the __visible tags as none of the functions will be called from assembly code anymore. 3) Make all the internal functions static. 4) Remove some unneeded blank lines. 5) Remove the intermediate rwsem_down_{read|write}_failed*() functions and rename __rwsem_down_{read|write}_failed_common() to rwsem_down_{read|write}_slowpath(). 6) Remove "__" prefix of __rwsem_mark_wake(). 7) Use atomic_long_try_cmpxchg_acquire() as much as possible. 8) Remove the rwsem_rtrylock and rwsem_wtrylock lock events as they are not that useful. That enables the compiler to do better optimization and reduce code size. The text+data size of rwsem.o on an x86-64 machine with gcc8 was reduced from 10237 bytes to 5030 bytes with this change.

* This is an adaptation of the phase-fair R/W locks where at the
* reader phase (first waiter is a reader), all readers are eligible
* to acquire the lock at the same time irrespective of their order
* in the queue. The writers acquire the lock according to their
* order in the queue.
*
* We have to do wakeup in 2 passes to prevent the possibility that
* the reader count may be decremented before it is incremented. It
* is because the to-be-woken waiter may not have slept yet. So it
* may see waiter->task got cleared, finish its critical section and
* do an unlock before the reader count increment.
*
* 1) Collect the read-waiters in a separate list, count them and
* fully increment the reader count in rwsem.
* 2) For each waiters in the new list, clear waiter->task and
* put them into wake_q to be woken up later.

locking/rwsem: Wake up almost all readers in wait queue When the front of the wait queue is a reader, other readers immediately following the first reader will also be woken up at the same time. However, if there is a writer in between. Those readers behind the writer will not be woken up. Because of optimistic spinning, the lock acquisition order is not FIFO anyway. The lock handoff mechanism will ensure that lock starvation will not happen. Assuming that the lock hold times of the other readers still in the queue will be about the same as the readers that are being woken up, there is really not much additional cost other than the additional latency due to the wakeup of additional tasks by the waker. Therefore all the readers up to a maximum of 256 in the queue are woken up when the first waiter is a reader to improve reader throughput. This is somewhat similar in concept to a phase-fair R/W lock. With a locking microbenchmark running on 5.1 based kernel, the total locking rates (in kops/s) on a 8-socket IvyBridge-EX system with equal numbers of readers and writers before and after this patch were as follows: # of Threads Pre-Patch Post-patch ------------ --------- ---------- 4 1,641 1,674 8 731 1,062 16 564 924 32 78 300 64 38 195 240 50 149 There is no performance gain at low contention level.

locking/rwsem: Implement lock handoff to prevent lock starvation Because of writer lock stealing, it is possible that a constant stream of incoming writers will cause a waiting writer or reader to wait indefinitely leading to lock starvation. This patch implements a lock handoff mechanism to disable lock stealing and force lock handoff to the first waiter or waiters (for readers) in the queue after at least a 4ms waiting period unless it is a RT writer task which doesn't need to wait. The waiting period is used to avoid discouraging lock stealing too much to affect performance. The setting and clearing of the handoff bit is serialized by the wait_lock. So racing is not possible. A rwsem microbenchmark was run for 5 seconds on a 2-socket 40-core 80-thread Skylake system with a v5.1 based kernel and 240 write_lock threads with 5us sleep critical section. Before the patch, the min/mean/max numbers of locking operations for the locking threads were 1/7,792/173,696. After the patch, the figures became 5,842/6,542/7,458. It can be seen that the rwsem became much more fair, though there was a drop of about 16% in the mean locking operations done which was a tradeoff of having better fairness. Making the waiter set the handoff bit right after the first wakeup can impact performance especially with a mixed reader/writer workload. With the same microbenchmark with short critical section and equal number of reader and writer threads (40/40), the reader/writer locking operation counts with the current patch were: 40 readers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 1,793/1,794/1,796 40 writers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 1,793/34,956/86,081 By making waiter set handoff bit immediately after wakeup: 40 readers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 43/44/46 40 writers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 43/1,263/3,191 Signed-off-by: Waiman Long <longman@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de> Cc: Davidlohr Bueso <dave@stgolabs.net> Cc: H.

locking/rwsem: Code cleanup after files merging After merging all the relevant rwsem code into one single file, there are a number of optimizations and cleanups that can be done: 1) Remove all the EXPORT_SYMBOL() calls for functions that are not accessed elsewhere. 2) Remove all the __visible tags as none of the functions will be called from assembly code anymore. 3) Make all the internal functions static. 4) Remove some unneeded blank lines. 5) Remove the intermediate rwsem_down_{read|write}_failed*() functions and rename __rwsem_down_{read|write}_failed_common() to rwsem_down_{read|write}_slowpath(). 6) Remove "__" prefix of __rwsem_mark_wake(). 7) Use atomic_long_try_cmpxchg_acquire() as much as possible. 8) Remove the rwsem_rtrylock and rwsem_wtrylock lock events as they are not that useful. That enables the compiler to do better optimization and reduce code size. The text+data size of rwsem.o on an x86-64 machine with gcc8 was reduced from 10237 bytes to 5030 bytes with this change.

locking/rwsem: Implement lock handoff to prevent lock starvation Because of writer lock stealing, it is possible that a constant stream of incoming writers will cause a waiting writer or reader to wait indefinitely leading to lock starvation. This patch implements a lock handoff mechanism to disable lock stealing and force lock handoff to the first waiter or waiters (for readers) in the queue after at least a 4ms waiting period unless it is a RT writer task which doesn't need to wait. The waiting period is used to avoid discouraging lock stealing too much to affect performance. The setting and clearing of the handoff bit is serialized by the wait_lock. So racing is not possible. A rwsem microbenchmark was run for 5 seconds on a 2-socket 40-core 80-thread Skylake system with a v5.1 based kernel and 240 write_lock threads with 5us sleep critical section. Before the patch, the min/mean/max numbers of locking operations for the locking threads were 1/7,792/173,696. After the patch, the figures became 5,842/6,542/7,458. It can be seen that the rwsem became much more fair, though there was a drop of about 16% in the mean locking operations done which was a tradeoff of having better fairness.

locking/rwsem: More optimal RT task handling of null owner An RT task can do optimistic spinning only if the lock holder is actually running. If the state of the lock holder isn't known, there is a possibility that high priority of the RT task may block forward progress of the lock holder if it happens to reside on the same CPU. This will lead to deadlock. So we have to make sure that an RT task will not spin on a reader-owned rwsem. When the owner is temporarily set to NULL, there are two cases where we may want to continue spinning: 1) The lock owner is in the process of releasing the lock, sem->owner is cleared but the lock has not been released yet. 2) The lock was free and owner cleared, but another task just comes in and acquire the lock before we try to get it. The new owner may be a spinnable writer. So an RT task is now made to retry one more time to see if it can acquire the lock or continue spinning on the new owning writer. When testing on a 8-socket IvyBridge-EX system, the one additional retry seems to improve locking performance of RT write locking threads under heavy contentions.

locking/rwsem: Code cleanup after files merging After merging all the relevant rwsem code into one single file, there are a number of optimizations and cleanups that can be done: 1) Remove all the EXPORT_SYMBOL() calls for functions that are not accessed elsewhere. 2) Remove all the __visible tags as none of the functions will be called from assembly code anymore. 3) Make all the internal functions static. 4) Remove some unneeded blank lines. 5) Remove the intermediate rwsem_down_{read|write}_failed*() functions and rename __rwsem_down_{read|write}_failed_common() to rwsem_down_{read|write}_slowpath(). 6) Remove "__" prefix of __rwsem_mark_wake(). 7) Use atomic_long_try_cmpxchg_acquire() as much as possible. 8) Remove the rwsem_rtrylock and rwsem_wtrylock lock events as they are not that useful. That enables the compiler to do better optimization and reduce code size. The text+data size of rwsem.o on an x86-64 machine with gcc8 was reduced from 10237 bytes to 5030 bytes with this change.

locking/rwsem: Implement lock handoff to prevent lock starvation Because of writer lock stealing, it is possible that a constant stream of incoming writers will cause a waiting writer or reader to wait indefinitely leading to lock starvation. This patch implements a lock handoff mechanism to disable lock stealing and force lock handoff to the first waiter or waiters (for readers) in the queue after at least a 4ms waiting period unless it is a RT writer task which doesn't need to wait. The waiting period is used to avoid discouraging lock stealing too much to affect performance. The setting and clearing of the handoff bit is serialized by the wait_lock. So racing is not possible. A rwsem microbenchmark was run for 5 seconds on a 2-socket 40-core 80-thread Skylake system with a v5.1 based kernel and 240 write_lock threads with 5us sleep critical section. Before the patch, the min/mean/max numbers of locking operations for the locking threads were 1/7,792/173,696. After the patch, the figures became 5,842/6,542/7,458. It can be seen that the rwsem became much more fair, though there was a drop of about 16% in the mean locking operations done which was a tradeoff of having better fairness. Making the waiter set the handoff bit right after the first wakeup can impact performance especially with a mixed reader/writer workload. With the same microbenchmark with short critical section and equal number of reader and writer threads (40/40), the reader/writer locking operation counts with the current patch were: 40 readers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 1,793/1,794/1,796 40 writers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 1,793/34,956/86,081 By making waiter set handoff bit immediately after wakeup: 40 readers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 43/44/46 40 writers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 43/1,263/3,191 Signed-off-by: Waiman Long <longman@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de> Cc: Davidlohr Bueso <dave@stgolabs.net> Cc: H.

locking/rwsem: Implement lock handoff to prevent lock starvation Because of writer lock stealing, it is possible that a constant stream of incoming writers will cause a waiting writer or reader to wait indefinitely leading to lock starvation. This patch implements a lock handoff mechanism to disable lock stealing and force lock handoff to the first waiter or waiters (for readers) in the queue after at least a 4ms waiting period unless it is a RT writer task which doesn't need to wait. The waiting period is used to avoid discouraging lock stealing too much to affect performance. The setting and clearing of the handoff bit is serialized by the wait_lock. So racing is not possible. A rwsem microbenchmark was run for 5 seconds on a 2-socket 40-core 80-thread Skylake system with a v5.1 based kernel and 240 write_lock threads with 5us sleep critical section. Before the patch, the min/mean/max numbers of locking operations for the locking threads were 1/7,792/173,696. After the patch, the figures became 5,842/6,542/7,458. It can be seen that the rwsem became much more fair, though there was a drop of about 16% in the mean locking operations done which was a tradeoff of having better fairness. Making the waiter set the handoff bit right after the first wakeup can impact performance especially with a mixed reader/writer workload.

A rwsem microbenchmark was run for 5 seconds on a 2-socket 40-core 80-thread Skylake system with a v5.1 based kernel and 240 write_lock threads with 5us sleep critical section. Before the patch, the min/mean/max numbers of locking operations for the locking threads were 1/7,792/173,696. After the patch, the figures became 5,842/6,542/7,458. It can be seen that the rwsem became much more fair, though there was a drop of about 16% in the mean locking operations done which was a tradeoff of having better fairness. Making the waiter set the handoff bit right after the first wakeup can impact performance especially with a mixed reader/writer workload. With the same microbenchmark with short critical section and equal number of reader and writer threads (40/40), the reader/writer locking operation counts with the current patch were: 40 readers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 1,793/1,794/1,796 40 writers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 1,793/34,956/86,081 By making waiter set handoff bit immediately after wakeup: 40 readers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 43/44/46 40 writers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 43/1,263/3,191 Signed-off-by: Waiman Long <longman@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de> Cc: Davidlohr Bueso <dave@stgolabs.net> Cc: H.

locking/rwsem: Implement lock handoff to prevent lock starvation Because of writer lock stealing, it is possible that a constant stream of incoming writers will cause a waiting writer or reader to wait indefinitely leading to lock starvation.

locking/rwsem: Code cleanup after files merging After merging all the relevant rwsem code into one single file, there are a number of optimizations and cleanups that can be done: 1) Remove all the EXPORT_SYMBOL() calls for functions that are not accessed elsewhere. 2) Remove all the __visible tags as none of the functions will be called from assembly code anymore. 3) Make all the internal functions static. 4) Remove some unneeded blank lines. 5) Remove the intermediate rwsem_down_{read|write}_failed*() functions and rename __rwsem_down_{read|write}_failed_common() to rwsem_down_{read|write}_slowpath(). 6) Remove "__" prefix of __rwsem_mark_wake(). 7) Use atomic_long_try_cmpxchg_acquire() as much as possible. 8) Remove the rwsem_rtrylock and rwsem_wtrylock lock events as they are not that useful.

locking/rwsem: Implement lock handoff to prevent lock starvation Because of writer lock stealing, it is possible that a constant stream of incoming writers will cause a waiting writer or reader to wait indefinitely leading to lock starvation. This patch implements a lock handoff mechanism to disable lock stealing and force lock handoff to the first waiter or waiters (for readers) in the queue after at least a 4ms waiting period unless it is a RT writer task which doesn't need to wait. The waiting period is used to avoid discouraging lock stealing too much to affect performance. The setting and clearing of the handoff bit is serialized by the wait_lock. So racing is not possible. A rwsem microbenchmark was run for 5 seconds on a 2-socket 40-core 80-thread Skylake system with a v5.1 based kernel and 240 write_lock threads with 5us sleep critical section. Before the patch, the min/mean/max numbers of locking operations for the locking threads were 1/7,792/173,696. After the patch, the figures became 5,842/6,542/7,458. It can be seen that the rwsem became much more fair, though there was a drop of about 16% in the mean locking operations done which was a tradeoff of having better fairness. Making the waiter set the handoff bit right after the first wakeup can impact performance especially with a mixed reader/writer workload. With the same microbenchmark with short critical section and equal number of reader and writer threads (40/40), the reader/writer locking operation counts with the current patch were: 40 readers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 1,793/1,794/1,796 40 writers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 1,793/34,956/86,081 By making waiter set handoff bit immediately after wakeup: 40 readers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 43/44/46 40 writers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 43/1,263/3,191 Signed-off-by: Waiman Long <longman@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de> Cc: Davidlohr Bueso <dave@stgolabs.net> Cc: H.

locking/rwsem: Support optimistic spinning We have reached the point where our mutexes are quite fine tuned for a number of situations. This includes the use of heuristics and optimistic spinning, based on MCS locking techniques. Exclusive ownership of read-write semaphores are, conceptually, just about the same as mutexes, making them close cousins. To this end we need to make them both perform similarly, and right now, rwsems are simply not up to it. This was discovered by both reverting commit 4fc3f1d6 (mm/rmap, migration: Make rmap_walk_anon() and try_to_unmap_anon() more scalable) and similarly, converting some other mutexes (ie: i_mmap_mutex) to rwsems. This creates a situation where users have to choose between a rwsem and mutex taking into account this important performance difference. Specifically, biggest difference between both locks is when we fail to acquire a mutex in the fastpath, optimistic spinning comes in to play and we can avoid a large amount of unnecessary sleeping and overhead of moving tasks in and out of wait queue. Rwsems do not have such logic. This patch, based on the work from Tim Chen and I, adds support for write-side optimistic spinning when the lock is contended. It also includes support for the recently added cancelable MCS locking for adaptive spinning. Note that is is only applicable to the xadd method, and the spinlock rwsem variant remains intact. Allowing optimistic spinning before putting the writer on the wait queue reduces wait queue contention and provided greater chance for the rwsem to get acquired. With these changes, rwsem is on par with mutex. The performance benefits can be seen on a number of workloads. For instance, on a 8 socket, 80 core 64bit Westmere box, aim7 shows the following improvements in throughput: +--------------+---------------------+-----------------+ | Workload | throughput-increase | number of users | +--------------+---------------------+-----------------+ | alltests | 20% | >1000 | | custom | 27%, 60% | 10-100, >1000 | | high_systime | 36%, 30% | >100, >1000 | | shared | 58%, 29% | 10-100, >1000 | +--------------+---------------------+-----------------+ There was also improvement on smaller systems, such as a quad-core x86-64 laptop running a 30Gb PostgreSQL (pgbench) workload for up to +60% in throughput for over 50 clients. Additionally, benefits were also noticed in exim (mail server) workloads. Furthermore, no performance regression have been seen at all.

locking/rwsem: Support optimistic spinning We have reached the point where our mutexes are quite fine tuned for a number of situations. This includes the use of heuristics and optimistic spinning, based on MCS locking techniques. Exclusive ownership of read-write semaphores are, conceptually, just about the same as mutexes, making them close cousins. To this end we need to make them both perform similarly, and right now, rwsems are simply not up to it. This was discovered by both reverting commit 4fc3f1d6 (mm/rmap, migration: Make rmap_walk_anon() and try_to_unmap_anon() more scalable) and similarly, converting some other mutexes (ie: i_mmap_mutex) to rwsems. This creates a situation where users have to choose between a rwsem and mutex taking into account this important performance difference. Specifically, biggest difference between both locks is when we fail to acquire a mutex in the fastpath, optimistic spinning comes in to play and we can avoid a large amount of unnecessary sleeping and overhead of moving tasks in and out of wait queue. Rwsems do not have such logic. This patch, based on the work from Tim Chen and I, adds support for write-side optimistic spinning when the lock is contended. It also includes support for the recently added cancelable MCS locking for adaptive spinning. Note that is is only applicable to the xadd method, and the spinlock rwsem variant remains intact. Allowing optimistic spinning before putting the writer on the wait queue reduces wait queue contention and provided greater chance for the rwsem to get acquired. With these changes, rwsem is on par with mutex. The performance benefits can be seen on a number of workloads. For instance, on a 8 socket, 80 core 64bit Westmere box, aim7 shows the following improvements in throughput: +--------------+---------------------+-----------------+ | Workload | throughput-increase | number of users | +--------------+---------------------+-----------------+ | alltests | 20% | >1000 | | custom | 27%, 60% | 10-100, >1000 | | high_systime | 36%, 30% | >100, >1000 | | shared | 58%, 29% | 10-100, >1000 | +--------------+---------------------+-----------------+ There was also improvement on smaller systems, such as a quad-core x86-64 laptop running a 30Gb PostgreSQL (pgbench) workload for up to +60% in throughput for over 50 clients. Additionally, benefits were also noticed in exim (mail server) workloads. Furthermore, no performance regression have been seen at all.

locking/rwsem: Make owner store task pointer of last owning reader Currently, when a reader acquires a lock, it only sets the RWSEM_READER_OWNED bit in the owner field. The other bits are simply not used. When debugging hanging cases involving rwsems and readers, the owner value does not provide much useful information at all. This patch modifies the current behavior to always store the task_struct pointer of the last rwsem-acquiring reader in a reader-owned rwsem. This may be useful in debugging rwsem hanging cases especially if only one reader is involved. However, the task in the owner field may not the real owner or one of the real owners at all when the owner value is examined, for example, in a crash dump. So it is just an additional hint about the past history. If CONFIG_DEBUG_RWSEMS=y is enabled, the owner field will be checked at unlock time too to make sure the task pointer value is valid. That does have a slight performance cost and so is only enabled as part of that debug option. From the performance point of view, it is expected that the changes shouldn't have any noticeable performance impact. A rwsem microbenchmark (with 48 worker threads and 1:1 reader/writer ratio) was ran on a 2-socket 24-core 48-thread Haswell system. The locking rates on a 4.19-rc1 based kernel were as follows: 1) Unpatched kernel: 543.3 kops/s 2) Patched kernel: 549.2 kops/s 3) Patched kernel (CONFIG_DEBUG_RWSEMS on): 546.6 kops/s There was actually a slight increase in performance (1.1%) in this particular case. Maybe it was caused by the elimination of a branch or just a testing noise. Turning on the CONFIG_DEBUG_RWSEMS option also had less than the expected impact on performance. The least significant 2 bits of the owner value are now used to designate the rwsem is readers owned and the owners are anonymous.

locking/rwsem: Code cleanup after files merging After merging all the relevant rwsem code into one single file, there are a number of optimizations and cleanups that can be done: 1) Remove all the EXPORT_SYMBOL() calls for functions that are not accessed elsewhere. 2) Remove all the __visible tags as none of the functions will be called from assembly code anymore. 3) Make all the internal functions static. 4) Remove some unneeded blank lines. 5) Remove the intermediate rwsem_down_{read|write}_failed*() functions and rename __rwsem_down_{read|write}_failed_common() to rwsem_down_{read|write}_slowpath(). 6) Remove "__" prefix of __rwsem_mark_wake(). 7) Use atomic_long_try_cmpxchg_acquire() as much as possible. 8) Remove the rwsem_rtrylock and rwsem_wtrylock lock events as they are not that useful. That enables the compiler to do better optimization and reduce code size. The text+data size of rwsem.o on an x86-64 machine with gcc8 was reduced from 10237 bytes to 5030 bytes with this change.
