Subject: [PATCH v15 06/16] asm-generic: barrier: Add smp_cond_load_acquire_timeout()
Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2026 13:22:41 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260831202251.305046-7-ankur.a.arora@oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260831202251.305046-1-ankur.a.arora@oracle.com>
Add the acquire variant of smp_cond_load_relaxed_timeout().
smp_cond_load_acquire_timeout() reuses the relaxed variant for
the actual wait. This has two paths out:
C1. "if (cond_expr)": loop condition evaluates to true
C2. "if (__scl_time_now <= 0 || __scl_timeout <= 0)": timeout case
a. cond_expr evaluates to false
b. cond_expr evaluates to true
C1 already provides LOAD->STORE order via the control-dependency.
C2b does not. So re-evaluate the "if (cond_expr)" branch in
smp_cond_load_acquire_timeout() to provide that, and follow that
with smp_acquire__after_ctrl_dep() for the additional LOAD->LOAD
order, together providing the full load-acquire order.
For the pure timeout case (C2a), we have neither, so just go
with a straight smp_load_acquire().

Notes:
In earlier revisions sashiko comments pointed out:
"Does this standalone if block fail to extend a control dependency to
the macro caller's subsequent code?"
This was a problem for the timeout case where the "if (cond_expr())"
was missing.
My solution in earlier versions was to not provide acquire ordering
on timeout -- that looked okay for BPF and we have similar semantics
in other places as well (ex. try_page_mte_tagging()).
On second thoughts, those semantics were unnecessary special for a
non-performance path. So this revision just provides a full
smp_load_acquire() in the failure path.
Also update the comment in smp_cond_load_acquire_timeout() to describe
the barrier semantics for the three cases.
Catalin, Haris: I've retained both your R-bys. Hope that's okay.
