Please just be truthful that you have a user space driver, so need the
bus enabled.
I also guess you have some other kernel code that allows you to
actually use the bus from user space? The typical ethernet IOCTL
handler does not work for you, since you don't have an ethernet device
using this bus. Such code is unlikely to be accepted into mainline. We
don't like user space drivers when there is a perfectly good kernel
driver for this switch.

Add tif_bitset_relaxed_wait() (and tif_need_resched_relaxed_wait()
which wraps it) which takes the thread_info bit and timeout duration
as parameters and waits until the bit is set or for the expiration
of the timeout.
The wait is implemented via smp_cond_load_relaxed_timeout().
smp_cond_load_relaxed_timeout() essentially provides the pattern used
in poll_idle() where we spin in a loop waiting for the flag to change
until a timeout occurs.
tif_need_resched_relaxed_wait() allows us to abstract out the internals
of waiting, scheduler specific details etc.
Placed in linux/sched/idle.h instead of linux/thread_info.h to work
around recursive include hell.

check_timeout() gets the current time value and depending on how
much time has passed, checks for deadlock or times out, returning 0
or -errno on deadlock or timeout.
Switch this out to a clock style interface, where it functions as a
clock in the "lock-domain", returning the current time until a
deadlock or timeout occurs. Once a deadlock or timeout has occurred,
it stops functioning as a clock and returns error.
Also adjust the RES_CHECK_TIMEOUT macro to discard the clock value
when updating the explicit return status.

Support waiting in smp_cond_load_relaxed_timeout() via
__cmpwait_relaxed(). To ensure that we wake from waiting in
WFE periodically and don't block forever if there are no stores
to ptr, this path is only used when the event-stream is enabled.
Note that when using __cmpwait_relaxed() we ignore the timeout
value, allowing an overshoot by up to the event-stream period.
And, in the unlikely event that the event-stream is unavailable,
fallback to spin-waiting.
Also set SMP_TIMEOUT_POLL_COUNT to 1 so we do the time-check in
each iteration of smp_cond_load_relaxed_timeout().
And finally define ARCH_HAS_CPU_RELAX to indicate that we have
an optimized implementation of cpu_poll_relax().

We really want the rename of ptdesc_t before this change.

Add a success and failure case for smp_cond_load_relaxed_timeout().
Both test cases wait on some state in smp_cond_load_relaxed_timeout().
In the success case we spawn a kthread that pokes the bit.

In-Reply-To: <20260408122538.3610871-1-ankur.a.arora@oracle.com>
The inner loop in poll_idle() polls over the thread_info flags,
waiting to see if the thread has TIF_NEED_RESCHED set. The loop
exits once the condition is met, or if the poll time limit has
been exceeded.
To minimize the number of instructions executed in each iteration,
the time check is rate-limited. In addition, each loop iteration
executes cpu_relax() which on certain platforms provides a hint to
the pipeline that the loop busy-waits, allowing the processor to
reduce power consumption.
Switch over to tif_need_resched_relaxed_wait() instead, since that
provides exactly that.
However, since we want to minimize power consumption in idle, building
of cpuidle/poll_state.c continues to depend on CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_CPU_RELAX
as that serves as an indicator that the platform supports an optimized
version of tif_need_resched_relaxed_wait() (via
smp_cond_load_acquire_timeout()).

In-Reply-To: <20260408122538.3610871-1-ankur.a.arora@oracle.com>
Switch out the conditional load interfaces used by rqspinlock
to smp_cond_read_acquire_timeout() and its wrapper,
atomic_cond_read_acquire_timeout().
Both these handle the timeout and amortize as needed, so use the
non-amortized RES_CHECK_TIMEOUT.
RES_CHECK_TIMEOUT does double duty here -- presenting the current
clock value, the timeout/deadlock error from clock_deadlock() to
the cond-load and, returning the error value via ret.
For correctness, we need to ensure that the error case of the
cond-load interface always agrees with that in clock_deadlock().
For the most part, this is fine because there's no independent clock,
or double reads from the clock in cond-load -- either of which could
lead to its internal state going out of sync from that of
clock_deadlock().
There is, however, an edge case where clock_deadlock() checks for:
if (time > ts->timeout_end)
return -ETIMEDOUT;
while smp_cond_load_acquire_timeout() checks for:
__time_now = (time_expr_ns);
if (__time_now <= 0 || __time_now >= __time_end) {
VAL = READ_ONCE(*__PTR);
break;
}
This runs into a problem when (__time_now == __time_end) since
clock_deadlock() does not treat it as a timeout condition but
the second clause in the conditional above does.
So, add an equality check in clock_deadlock().
Finally, redefine SMP_TIMEOUT_POLL_COUNT to be 16k to be similar to
the spin-count used in the amortized version. We only do this for
non-arm64 as that uses a waiting implementation.

In preparation for defining smp_cond_load_acquire_timeout(), remove
the private copy. Lacking this, the rqspinlock code falls back to using
smp_cond_load_acquire().

call out to the respective __cmpwait_case_timeout_##sz(),
__cmpwait_case_##sz() functions.

Rename some macros in qcom/rpmh-rsc.c which were occupying the same

* [PATCH v11 00/14] barrier: Add smp_cond_load_{relaxed,acquire}_timeout()
From: Ankur Arora @ 2026-04-08 12:25 UTC (permalink / raw)

Hi,
Main change in this version:
- adds a kunit validation test.
What remains?:
- Review by PeterZ of the new interface tif_need_resched_relaxed_wait()
(patch 11, "sched: add need-resched timed wait interface").
(Peter had originally proposed using smp_cond_load_relaxed() in
poll_idle() [11]).
The core kernel often uses smp_cond_load_{relaxed,acquire}() to spin
on condition variables with architectural primitives used to avoid
hammering the relevant cachelines.
(This primitive can vary greatly across architectures: on x86 it's a
cpu_relax() to slow down the pipeline. On arm64, this is a __cmpwait()
which waits for a cacheline to change state in a time limited fashion.)
Regardless of architectural details, typical smp_cond_load*() usage
does not allow for termination until the condition change occurs.
Beyond the core kernel, there are cases where it is useful to additionally
terminate on a timeout. Two cases:
- cpuidle poll_idle(): wait for need-resched until the cpuidle polling
duration expires.
- rqspinlock: nested qspinlock acquisition that terminates on timeout
or deadlock.
Accordingly add two interfaces (with their generic and arm64 specific
implementations):
smp_cond_load_relaxed_timeout(ptr, cond_expr, time_expr, timeout)
smp_cond_load_acquire_timeout(ptr, cond_expr, time_expr, timeout)
Also add tif_need_resched_relaxed_wait() which wraps the polling
pattern and its scheduler specific details in poll_idle().
In addition add atomic_cond_read_*_timeout(),
atomic64_cond_read_*_timeout(), and atomic_long wrappers.
Structurally, both the smp_cond_load_*_timeout() interfaces are similar
to smp_cond_load*(), with the addition of a rate-limited time-check.
Usage
==
These interfaces drop straight-forwardly into the rqspinlock logic
since qspinlock already uses smp_cond_load*(), and the time-check
extension can now be used for timeout and deadlock handling.
Using tif_need_resched_relaxed_wait() in poll_idle() removes any
architectural details allowing arm64 to straight-forwardly support
that path.
(However, for efficiency reasons cpuidle/poll_state.c continues to
depend on ARCH_HAS_CPU_RELAX since that is defined on architectures
with an optimized architectural primitive.)
Performance
==
Apart from simplifications due to this change, supporting polling in
cpuidle on arm64 helps improve wakeup latency (needs a few cpuidle/acpi
patches):
# perf stat -r 5 --cpu 4,5 -e task-clock,cycles,instructions,sched:sched_wake_idle_without_ipi \
perf bench sched pipe -l 1000000 -c 4
# No haltpoll (and, no TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG):
Performance counter stats for 'CPU(s) 4,5' (5 runs):
25,229.57 msec task-clock # 2.000 CPUs utilized ( +- 7.75% )
45,821,250,284 cycles # 1.816 GHz ( +- 10.07% )
26,557,496,665 instructions # 0.58 insn per cycle ( +- 0.21% )
0 sched:sched_wake_idle_without_ipi # 0.000 /sec
12.615 +- 0.977 seconds time elapsed ( +- 7.75% )
# Haltpoll:
Performance counter stats for 'CPU(s) 4,5' (5 runs):
15,131.58 msec task-clock # 2.000 CPUs utilized ( +- 10.00% )
34,158,188,839 cycles # 2.257 GHz ( +- 6.91% )
20,824,950,916 instructions # 0.61 insn per cycle ( +- 0.09% )
1,983,822 sched:sched_wake_idle_without_ipi # 131.105 K/sec ( +- 0.78% )
7.566 +- 0.756 seconds time elapsed ( +- 10.00% )
We get improved latency because we don't switch in and out of a
deeper sleep state or from the hypervisor. This also causes us to
execute ~20% fewer instructions.
Haris Okanovic also saw improvement in real workloads due to the
cpuidle changes: "observed 4-6% improvements in memcahed, cassandra,
mysql, and postgresql under certain loads. Other applications likely
benefit too." [12]
Changelog:
v10 [10]:
- add a comment mentioning that smp_cond_load_relaxed_timeout() might
be using architectural primitives that don't support MMIO.
(David Laight, Catalin Marinas)
- added a kunit test for smp_cond_load_relaxed_timeout() (Andrew
Morton.)
v9 [9]:
- s/@cond/@cond_expr/ (Randy Dunlap)
- Clarify that SMP_TIMEOUT_POLL_COUNT is only around memory
addresses. (David Laight)
- Add the missing config ARCH_HAS_CPU_RELAX in arch/arm64/Kconfig.
(Catalin Marinas).
- Switch to arch_counter_get_cntvct_stable() (via __delay_cycles())
in the cmpwait path instead of using arch_timer_read_counter().
(Catalin Marinas)
v8 [0]:
- Defer evaluation of @time_expr_ns to when we hit the slowpath.
(comment from Alexei Starovoitov).
- Mention that cpu_poll_relax() is better than raw CPU polling
only where ARCH_HAS_CPU_RELAX is defined.
- also define ARCH_HAS_CPU_RELAX for arm64.
(Came out of a discussion with Will Deacon.)
- Split out WFET and WFE handling. I was doing both of these
in a common handler.
(From Will Deacon and in an earlier revision by Catalin Marinas.)
- Add mentions of atomic_cond_read_{relaxed,acquire}(),
atomic_cond_read_{relaxed,acquire}_timeout() in
Documentation/atomic_t.txt.
- Use the BIT() macro to do the checking in tif_bitset_relaxed_wait().
- Cleanup unnecessary assignments, casts etc in poll_idle().
(From Rafael Wysocki.)
- Fixup warnings from kernel build robot
v7 [1]:
- change the interface to separately provide the timeout. This is
useful for supporting WFET and similar primitives which can do
timed waiting (suggested by Arnd Bergmann).
- Adapting rqspinlock code to this changed interface also
necessitated allowing time_expr to fail.
- rqspinlock changes to adapt to the new smp_cond_load_acquire_timeout().
- add WFET support (suggested by Arnd Bergmann).
- add support for atomic-long wrappers.
- add a new scheduler interface tif_need_resched_relaxed_wait() which
encapsulates the polling logic used by poll_idle().
- interface suggested by (Rafael J. Wysocki).
v6 [2]:
- fixup missing timeout parameters in atomic64_cond_read_*_timeout()
- remove a race between setting of TIF_NEED_RESCHED and the call to
smp_cond_load_relaxed_timeout(). This would mean that dev->poll_time_limit
would be set even if we hadn't spent any time waiting.
(The original check compared against local_clock(), which would have been
fine, but I was instead using a cheaper check against _TIF_NEED_RESCHED.)
(Both from meta-CI bot)
v5 [3]:
- use cpu_poll_relax() instead of cpu_relax().
- instead of defining an arm64 specific
smp_cond_load_relaxed_timeout(), just define the appropriate
cpu_poll_relax().
- re-read the target pointer when we exit due to the time-check.
- s/SMP_TIMEOUT_SPIN_COUNT/SMP_TIMEOUT_POLL_COUNT/
(Suggested by Will Deacon)
- add atomic_cond_read_*_timeout() and atomic64_cond_read_*_timeout()
interfaces.
- rqspinlock: use atomic_cond_read_acquire_timeout().
- cpuidle: use smp_cond_load_relaxed_tiemout() for polling.
(Suggested by Catalin Marinas)
- rqspinlock: define SMP_TIMEOUT_POLL_COUNT to be 16k for non arm64
v4 [4]:
- naming change 's/timewait/timeout/'
- resilient spinlocks: get rid of res_smp_cond_load_acquire_waiting()
and fixup use of RES_CHECK_TIMEOUT().
(Both suggested by Catalin Marinas)
v3 [5]:
- further interface simplifications (suggested by Catalin Marinas)
v2 [6]:
- simplified the interface (suggested by Catalin Marinas)
- get rid of wait_policy, and a multitude of constants
- adds a slack parameter
This helped remove a fair amount of duplicated code duplication and in
hindsight unnecessary constants.
v1 [7]:
- add wait_policy (coarse and fine)
- derive spin-count etc at runtime instead of using arbitrary
constants.
Haris Okanovic tested v4 of this series with poll_idle()/haltpoll patches. [8]
Comments appreciated!
Thanks

In-Reply-To: <20260408122538.3610871-1-ankur.a.arora@oracle.com>
Add smp_cond_load_relaxed_timeout(), which extends
smp_cond_load_relaxed() to allow waiting for a duration.
We loop around waiting for the condition variable to change while
peridically doing a time-check. The loop uses cpu_poll_relax() to slow
down the busy-wait, which, unless overridden by the architecture
code, amounts to a cpu_relax().
Note that there are two ways for the time-check to fail: the timeout
case or, @time_expr_ns returning an invalid value (negative or zero).
The second failure mode allows for clocks attached to the clock-domain
of @cond_expr -- which might cease to operate meaningfully once some
state internal to @cond_expr has changed -- to fail.
Evaluation of @time_expr_ns: in the fastpath we want to keep the
performance close to smp_cond_load_relaxed(). So defer evaluation
of the potentially costly @time_expr_ns to the slowpath.
This also means that there will always be some hardware dependent
duration that has passed in cpu_poll_relax() iterations at the time
of first evaluation. Additionally cpu_poll_relax() is not guaranteed
to return at timeout boundary. In sum, expect timeout overshoot when
we exit due to expiration of the timeout.
The number of spin iterations before time-check, SMP_TIMEOUT_POLL_COUNT
is chosen to be 200 by default. With a cpu_poll_relax() iteration
taking ~20-30 cycles (measured on a variety of x86 platforms), we
expect a time-check every ~4000-6000 cycles.
The outer limit of the overshoot is double that when working with the
parameters above. This might be higher or lower depending on the
implementation of cpu_poll_relax() across architectures.
Lastly, config option ARCH_HAS_CPU_RELAX indicates availability of a
cpu_poll_relax() that is cheaper than polling. This might be relevant
for cases with a long timeout.

We often refer to *ptep as ptent. Can we find something that does not
contain "pte" to avoid confusion with pteval_t ?
We often refer to the set of functions as "pXX" or "pxx". pxxval_t would
certainly be an option, but it would be the first "official" such
occurrence.

Please mention here why you move p4d_offset_phys/p4d_offset. (same
applies to other patches)
Do we get additional function calls that might degrade some page table
walkers?
Same comment regarding BUG_ON.
