[PATCH 0/7] rwsem: Implement down_read_killable()

[PATCH 0/7] rwsem: Implement down_read_killable()

[Kirill Tkhai]

This series implements killable version of down_read()
similar to already existing down_write_killable() function.
Patches [1-2/7] add arch-independent low-level primitives
for the both rwsem types.

Patches [3-6/7] add arch-dependent primitives for
the architectures, that use rwsem-xadd implementation.
The assembly code was modified in x86 case only, the rest
of architectures does not need such change.

I tested the series in x86 (which uses RWSEM_XCHGADD_ALGORITHM
config option), and also the RWSEM_GENERIC_SPINLOCK case,
which were manually written in Kconfig. alpha, ia64 and s390
are compile-tested only, but I believe, their changes are
pretty easy. Please, people, who work with them, take your
look at the corresponding patches.

***

Where this came from. Cycle of creation/destroying net
namespace is slow at the moment as it's made under net_mutex.
During cleanup_net(), the mutex is held the whole time,
while RCU is synchronizing. This takes a lot of time,
especially when RCU is preemptible, and at this time
the creation of new net namespaces is blocked. But
this moment may be optimized by using small locks
in pernet callbacks, where they are need, and by
converting net_mutex into rw semaphore. In cleanup_net()
it's only need to prevent from registration/unregistration
of pernet_subsys and pernet_devices, which actions
can't be missed by unhashed dead net namespace.
down_read guarantees that, and it's lite-weight.

Using the rwsem improves the create/destroy cycle performance
on my development kernel much:

$time for i in {1..10000}; do unshare -n -- bash -c exit; done

MUTEX:
real 1m13,372s
user 0m9,278s
sys 0m17.181s

RWSEM:
real 0m17,482s
user 0m3,791s
sys 0m13,723s

Of course, it's just an example, and it's a generic use
function. It may be used in other places.

[PATCH 1/7] rwsem-spinlock: Add killable versions of __down_read()

[Kirill Tkhai]

Rename __down_read() in __down_read_common() and teach it
to abort waiting in case of pending signals and killable
state argument passed.

Note, that we shouldn't wake anybody up in EINTR path, as:

We check for signal_pending_state() after (!waiter.task)
test and under spinlock. So, current task wasn't able to
be woken up. It may be in two cases: a writer is owner
of the sem, or a writer is a first waiter of the sem.

If a writer is owner of the sem, no one else may work
with it in parallel. It will wake somebody, when it
call up_write() or downgrade_write().

If a writer is the first waiter, it will be woken up,
when the last active reader releases the sem, and
sem->count became 0.

Also note, that set_current_state() may be moved down
to schedule() (after !waiter.task check), as all
assignments in this type of semaphore (including wake_up),
occur under spinlock, so we can't miss anything.

[PATCH 2/7] rwsem-spinlock: Add killable versions of rwsem_down_read_failed()

[Kirill Tkhai]

Rename rwsem_down_read_failed() in __rwsem_down_read_failed_common()
and teach it to abort waiting in case of pending signals and killable
state argument passed.

Note, that we shouldn't wake anybody up in EINTR path, as:

We check for (waiter.task) under spinlock before we go to out_nolock
path. Current task wasn't able to be woken up, so there are
a writer, owning the sem, or a writer, which is the first waiter.
In the both cases we shouldn't wake anybody. If there is a writer,
owning the sem, and we were the only waiter, remove RWSEM_WAITING_BIAS,
as there are no waiters anymore.

[PATCH 6/7] x86: Add __down_read_killable()

[Kirill Tkhai]

Similar to __down_write_killable(), add read killable primitive:
extract current __down_read() code to macros and teach it to get
different functions as slow_path argument:
store ax register to ret, and add sp register and preserve its value.

Add call_rwsem_down_read_failed_killable() assembly entry similar
to call_rwsem_down_read_failed():
push dx register to stack in additional to common registers,
as it's not declarated as modifiable in ____down_read().

I would have expected to see down_read_killable() actually used somewhere 
after its implementation as part of this patchset.

There are some places we should be using down_{read|write}_interruptible(), if
it existed, dressed as inode_lock{,_shared}_interruptible().

Then let's use it in iterate_dir():

[PATCH]fs: Use killable down_read() in iterate_dir()

There was mutex_lock_interruptible() initially, and it was changed
to rwsem, but there were not killable rwsem primitives that time.
From commit 9902af79c01a:
    
    "The main issue is the lack of down_write_killable(), so the places
     like readdir.c switched to plain inode_lock(); once killable
     variants of rwsem primitives appear, that'll be dealt with"

Use down_read_killable() same as down_write_killable() in !shared
case, as concurrent inode_lock() may take much time, that may be
wanted to be interrupted by user.
