Subject: [PATCH v16 06/16] asm-generic: barrier: Add smp_cond_load_acquire_timeout()
Date: Fri, 16 Oct 2026 00:08:27 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261016070837.440748-7-ankur.a.arora@oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261016070837.440748-1-ankur.a.arora@oracle.com>
Add the acquire variant of smp_cond_load_relaxed_timeout().
smp_cond_load_acquire_timeout() does its own error checking but
reuses the relaxed logic in __smp_cond_load_relaxed_timeout() for
the actual wait.
Since __smp_cond_load_relaxed_timeout() already provides LOAD->STORE
ordering, we only provide the additional LOAD->LOAD ordering in
the common case.
And providing full ACQUIRE in the error case.

Notes:
With a small change in __smp_cond_load_relaxed_timeout(), it
now provides LOAD->STORE ordering. (Earlier versions provided
that only for the non-timeout path.)
This simplifies providing the ACQUIRE ordering because now we
don't need special handling for the timeout path.
For the error path (__scl_timeout_ns < 0) where we just use
smp_load_acquire().
In the non-error path we use the control dependency to provide the
LOAD->STORE ordering with smp_acquire__after_ctrl_dep() providing
the remaining LOAD->LOAD.
Unfortunately I couldn't see a way of avoiding the goto label
because in this more natural variant the control dependency
on line 6:
1 if (unlikely(__scl_timeout_ns < 0)) {
2 VAL = smp_load_acquire(ptr);
3 } else {
4 for (;;) {
5 VAL = READ_ONCE(*ptr);
6 if (cond_expr || __scl_timed_out)
7 break;
8 ...
9 }
10 smp_acquire__after_ctrl_dep();
11 }
12 ...
likely runs afoul of this bit in memory-barriers.txt:
"control dependencies apply only to the stores in the
then-clause and else-clause of the if-statement in question
(including functions invoked by those two clauses), not to
code following that if-statement."
IIUC if there was a store on line 12, that would not be ordered
wrt the control dependency on line 6 and a weakly ordered CPU could
speculatively execute that earlier especially if the timeout was
extremely short.
(An earlier version [1] had a similar problem.)
So this change disentangles the conditional on line 1 executing
the if and then clauses sequentially.
