Subject: [PATCH v3 11/17] rv: Retry when da monitor detects race conditions
Date: Tue, 15 Jul 2025 09:14:28 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250715071434.22508-12-gmonaco@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250715071434.22508-1-gmonaco@redhat.com>
DA monitor can be accessed from multiple cores simultaneously, this is
likely, for instance when dealing with per-task monitors reacting on
events that do not always occur on the CPU where the task is running.
This can cause race conditions where two events change the next state
and we see inconsistent values. E.g.:
[62] event_srs: 27: sleepable x sched_wakeup -> running (final)
[63] event_srs: 27: sleepable x sched_set_state_sleepable -> sleepable
[63] error_srs: 27: event sched_switch_suspend not expected in the state running
In this case the monitor fails because the event on CPU 62 wins against
the one on CPU 63, although the correct state should have been
sleepable, since the task get suspended.
Detect if the current state was modified by using try_cmpxchg while
storing the next value. If it was, try again reading the current state.
After a maximum number of failed retries, react as if it was an error
with invalid current state (we cannot determine it).
Remove the functions da_monitor_curr_state() and da_monitor_set_state()
as they only hide the underlying implementation in this case.
Monitors where this type of condition can occur must be able to account
for racing events in any possible order, as we cannot know the winner.
