[PATCH 1/2] radix tree test suite: Test radix_tree_replace_slot() for multiorder entries

[Matthew Wilcox]

From: Matthew Wilcox <mawilcox@microsoft.com>

When we replace a multiorder entry, check that all indices reflect the
new value.

[PATCH 2/2] radix-tree: Fix optimisation problem

[Matthew Wilcox]

From: Matthew Wilcox <mawilcox@microsoft.com>

When compiling the radix tree with -O2, GCC thinks it can optimise:

	void *entry = parent->slots[offset];
	int siboff = entry - parent->slots;
	void *slot = parent->slots + siboff;

into

	void *slot = entry;

Unfortunately, 'entry' is a tagged pointer, so this optimisation leads
to getting an unaligned pointer back from radix_tree_lookup_slot().
The test suite wasn't being compiled with optimisation, so we hadn't
spotted it before now.  Change the test suite to compile with -O2, and
fix the optimisation problem by passing 'entry' through entry_to_node()
so gcc knows this isn't a plain pointer.

Ugh. I really don't like this patch very much.

Wouldn't it be cleaner to just fix "get_slot_offset()" instead? As it
is, looking at the code, I suspect that it's really hard to convince
people that there isn't some other place this might happen. Because
the "pointer subtraction followed by pointer addition" pattern is all
hidden in these inline functions.

Or at least add a big comment about why this is the only such case.

Because without that, the code now looks very bad.

That's fair.  I looked at all the other callers of get_slot_offset, and all the others are using a real slot pointer.  radix_tree_descend() really is the outlier here.  I think the real problem is that the types in the tree are wrong; instead of storing void *, we should be storing uintptr_t.  But fixing that is a little beyond the scope of -rc8.  Here's a slightly better version which asserts that the passed pointer really is a pointer.

(attached as well, I have no idea whether this patch will get mangled)

I feel that it is *this* part that I think needs a huge honking comment.

If you are going to make get_slot_offset() different, then you could
just rewrite get_slot_offset() to do

        unsigned long diff = (unsigned long) slot - (unsigned
long)parent->slots;
        return diff / sizeof(void *);

and add a comment to say "don't do this as a pointer diff, because
'slot' may not be an aligned pointer". No BUG_ON() necessary, because
it "just works".

At that point, gcc should just generate the right code, because it
doesn't see it as a pointer subtraction followed by a pointer
addition.

And yes, that crazy " (void **)entry_to_node(entry)" fixes it *too*,
but it needs a *comment*.

Why is that special, when all the other uses of get_slot_offset()
don't have that? *That* is what should be explained. Not some internal
detail.

That said, if this code isn't even used, as Konstantin says (THP
selects it - doesn't THP use it?), then the fix really should be to
just remove the odd code instead of adding to it.

Looking around for uses that set "order" to anything but zero, I
really don't see it. So maybe we should just do *that* trivial thing
instead, and remove CONFIG_RADIX_TREE_MULTIORDER, since it's appears
to be buggy and always has been.

IOW, a patch something like this?

NOTE! This is entirely untested. Things still seem to compile with it,
at least with some configurations. That's all I can say.

I do like this part:

   11 files changed, 29 insertions(+), 518 deletions(-)

although admittedly 2/3rds of the deletions were for the multiorder
tests. But even if you ignore the test side, it's just fairly clean
removal of code that is apparently not used, and that was buggy.

Well, my ext4-with-huge-pages patchset[1] uses multi-order entries.
It also converts shmem-with-huge-pages and hugetlb to them.

I'm okay with converting it to other mechanism, but I need something.
(I looked into Konstantin's RFC patchset[2]. It looks okay, but I don't
feel myself qualified to review it as I don't know much about radix-tree
internals.)

Ok, so that code actually has a chance of being used. I guess we'll
not remove it. But I *would* like this subtle issue to have a comment
around that odd cast/and/mask thing.

As I see this is the only place where get_slot_offset used for
unaligned pointer.
Nobody uses "multiorder entries" so this never happens. And I have
plan to kill this code.

As I see this is the only place where get_slot_offset used for
unaligned pointer.
Nobody uses "multiorder entries" so this never happens. And I have
plan to kill this code.

If entry is a pointer to void, how can you do pointer arithmetic with it?
Also, if you use pointer distances, the use of int is not valid, it
should then be ptrdiff_t siboff.

lint(1) would bite your arse off in both cases.
Sadly only UNIX (Solaris, AIX, ...) use lint(1) as mandatory part of
the build process and make warnings and errors of lint(1) fatal...

It's actually void **.

(That said, gcc has an extension that considers "void *" to be a byte
pointer, so you can actually do arithmetic on them, and it acts like
"char *")

The use of "int" is perfectly valid, since it's limited by
RADIX_TREE_MAP_SIZE, so it's going to be a small integer.

A specific data type would be wise (aka radtr_mapsz_t) to prevent a
disaster as SystemV had early during development. It took AT&T TWO
fucking months to figure out that their avl tree implementation had a
small type problem with int vs long.
Since I'd expect no one cares I'm going to print this email so I can
send the scan as PDF each time you hit that problem in the future with
"told you so"

Actually, you're right that the code is shit and shouldn't use an "int"
there.

The value range is indeed just up to RADIX_TREE_MAP_SIZE, but since the
code actually can get entries that are *not* sibling entries, it could
overflow

The more I look at that particular piece of code, the less I like it. It's
buggy shit. It needs to be rewritten entirely too actually check for
sibling entries, not that ad-hoc arithmetic crap.

Here's my attempt at cleaning the mess up.

I'm not claiming it's perfect, but I think it's better. It gets rid of
the ad-hoc arithmetic in radix_tree_descend(), and just makes all that
be inside the is_sibling_entry() logic instead. Which got renamed and
made to actually return the main sibling. So now there is at least
only *one* piece of code that does that range comparison, and I don't
think there is any huge need to explain what's going on, because the
"magic" is unconditional.

Sadly, it looks like gcc generates bad code for this approach. Looks
like it ends up testing the resulting sibling pointer twice (because
we explicitly disable -fno-delete-null-pointer-checks in the kernel,
and we have no way to say "look, I know this pointer I'm returning is
non-null").

So a smaller patch that keeps the old boolean "is_sibling_entry()" but
then actually *uses* that inside radix_tree_descend() and then tries
to make the nasty cast to "void **" more legible by making it use a
temporary variable seems to be a reasonable balance.

At least I feel like I can still read the code, but admittedly by now
that may be because I've stared at those few lines so much that I feel
like I know what's going on. So maybe the code isn't actually any more
legible after all.

.. and unlike my previous patch, it actually generates better code
than the original (while still passing the fixed test-suite, of
course). The reason seems to be exactly that temporary variable,
allowing us to just do

        entry = rcu_dereference_raw(*sibentry);

rather than doing

        entry = rcu_dereference_raw(parent->slots[offset]);

with the re-computed offset.

So I think I'll commit this unless somebody screams.

I don't love it.  But I think it's a reasonable fix for this point in the release cycle, and I have an idea for changing the representation of sibling slots that will make this moot.

(Basically adopting Konstantin's idea for using the *last* entry instead of the *first*, and then using entries of the form (offset << 2 | RADIX_TREE_INTERNAL_NODE), so we can identify sibling entries without knowing the parent pointer, and we can go straight from sibling entry to slot offset as a shift rather than as a pointer subtraction).

You might also try to use valid, plain ISO C99 instead of perverted
gcc extensions which only cause a lot of trouble in the long run.
