[PATCH v13 00/17] Refcounted interrupts, SpinLockIrq for rust

[PATCH v13 00/17] Refcounted interrupts, SpinLockIrq for rust

[Lyude Paul]

This is the latest patch series for adding rust bindings for controlling
local processor interrupts, adding support for spinlocks in rust that
are acquired with local processor interrupts disabled, and implementing
local interrupt controls through refcounting in the kernel.

The previous version of this patch series can be found here:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2025/5/27/1219

This patch series applies on top of the rust-next branch.

There's a few big changes from the last time. Mainly that we've
addressed all(?) of the open questions on this patch series:

* Thanks to Joel Fernandes, we now have a seperate per-CPU counter for
  tracking NMI nesting - which ensures that we don't have to sacrifice
  NMI nest level bits in order to store a counter for refcounted IRQs.
  These patches have been included at the start of the series.
* We've been able to prove that being able to convert the kernel over to
  this new interface is indeed possible, more on this below.
* Also thank to Joel, we also now have actual benchmarks for how this
  affects performance:
  https://lore.kernel.org/rust-for-linux/20250619175335.2905836-1-joelagnelf@nvidia.com/
* Also some small changes to the kunit test I added, mainly just making
  sure I don't forget to include a MODULE_DESCRIPTION or MODULE_LICENSE.

Regarding the conversion plan: we've had some success at getting kernels
to boot after attempting to convert the entire kernel from the
non-refcounted API to the new refcounted API. It will definitely take
quite a lot of work to get this right though, at least in the kernel
core side of things. To give readers an idea of what I mean, here's a
few of the issues that we ended up running into:

On my end, I tried running a number of coccinelle conversions for this.
At first I did actually try simply rewiring
local_irq_disable()/local_irq_enable() to
local_interrupt_enable()/local_interrupt_disable(). This wasn't really
workable though, as it causes the kernel to crash very early on in a
number of ways that I haven't fully untangled. Doing this with
coccinelle on the other hand allowed me to convert individual files at a
time, along with specific usage patterns of the old API, and as a result
this ended up giving me a pretty good idea of where our issues are
coming from. This coccinelle script, while still leaving most of the
kernel unconverted, was at least able to be run on almost all of kernel/
while still allowing us to boot on x86_64

@depends on patch && !report@
@@
- local_irq_disable();
+ local_interrupt_disable();
...
- local_irq_enable();
+ local_interrupt_enable();

There were two files in kernel/ that were exceptions to this:

* kernel/softirq.c
* kernel/main.c (I figured out at least one fix to an issue here)

The reason this worked is because it seems like the vast majority of the
issues we're seeing come from "unbalanced"/"misordered" usages of the
old irq API. And there seems to be a few reasons for this:

* The first simple reason: occasionally the enable/disable was split
  across a function, which this script didn't handle.
* The second more complicated reason: some portions of the kernel core
  end up calling processor instructions that modify the processor's
  local interrupt flags independently of the kernel. In x86_64's case, I
  believe we came to the conclusion the iret instruction (interrupt
  return) was modifying the interrupt flag state. There's possibly a few
  more instances like this elsewhere.

Boqun also took a stab at this on aarch64, and ended up having similar
findings. In their case, they discovered one of the culprits being
raw_spin_rq_unlock_irq(). Here the reason is that on aarch64
preempt_count is per-thread and not just per-cpu, and when context
switching you generally disable interrupts from one task and restore it
in the other task. So in order to fix it, we'll need to make some
modifications to the aarch64 context-switching code.

So - with this being said, we decided that the best way of converting it
is likely to just leave us with 3 APIs for the time being - and have new
drivers and code use the new API while we go through and convert the
rest of the kernel.

[PATCH v13 01/17] preempt: Track NMI nesting to separate per-CPU counter

[Lyude Paul]

From: Joel Fernandes <joelagnelf@nvidia.com>

Move NMI nesting tracking from the preempt_count bits to a separate per-CPU
counter (nmi_nesting). This is to free up the NMI bits in the preempt_count,
allowing those bits to be repurposed for other uses.  This also has the benefit
of tracking more than 16-levels deep if there is ever a need.

[PATCH v13 02/17] preempt: Reduce NMI_MASK to single bit and restore HARDIRQ_BITS

[Lyude Paul]

From: Joel Fernandes <joelagnelf@nvidia.com>

Now that NMI nesting is tracked in a separate per-CPU variable
(nmi_nesting), we no longer need multiple bits in preempt_count
for NMI tracking. Reduce NMI_BITS from 3 to 1, using it only to
detect if we're in an NMI.

[PATCH v13 03/17] preempt: Introduce HARDIRQ_DISABLE_BITS

[Lyude Paul]

From: Boqun Feng <boqun.feng@gmail.com>

In order to support preempt_disable()-like interrupt disabling, that is,
using part of preempt_count() to track interrupt disabling nested level,
change the preempt_count() layout to contain 8-bit HARDIRQ_DISABLE
count.

Note that HARDIRQ_BITS and NMI_BITS are reduced by 1 because of this,
and it changes the maximum of their (hardirq and nmi) nesting level.

[PATCH v13 04/17] preempt: Introduce __preempt_count_{sub, add}_return()

[Lyude Paul]

From: Boqun Feng <boqun.feng@gmail.com>

In order to use preempt_count() to tracking the interrupt disable
nesting level, __preempt_count_{add,sub}_return() are introduced, as
their name suggest, these primitives return the new value of the
preempt_count() after changing it. The following example shows the usage
of it in local_interrupt_disable():

	// increase the HARDIRQ_DISABLE bit
	new_count = __preempt_count_add_return(HARDIRQ_DISABLE_OFFSET);

	// if it's the first-time increment, then disable the interrupt
	// at hardware level.
	if (new_count & HARDIRQ_DISABLE_MASK == HARDIRQ_DISABLE_OFFSET) {
		local_irq_save(flags);
		raw_cpu_write(local_interrupt_disable_state.flags, flags);
	}

Having these primitives will avoid a read of preempt_count() after
changing preempt_count() on certain architectures.

[PATCH v13 05/17] irq & spin_lock: Add counted interrupt disabling/enabling

[Lyude Paul]

From: Boqun Feng <boqun.feng@gmail.com>

Currently the nested interrupt disabling and enabling is present by
_irqsave() and _irqrestore() APIs, which are relatively unsafe, for
example:

	<interrupts are enabled as beginning>
	spin_lock_irqsave(l1, flag1);
	spin_lock_irqsave(l2, flag2);
	spin_unlock_irqrestore(l1, flags1);
	<l2 is still held but interrupts are enabled>
	// accesses to interrupt-disable protect data will cause races.

This is even easier to triggered with guard facilities:

	unsigned long flag2;

	scoped_guard(spin_lock_irqsave, l1) {
		spin_lock_irqsave(l2, flag2);
	}
	// l2 locked but interrupts are enabled.
	spin_unlock_irqrestore(l2, flag2);

(Hand-to-hand locking critical sections are not uncommon for a
fine-grained lock design)

And because this unsafety, Rust cannot easily wrap the
interrupt-disabling locks in a safe API, which complicates the design.

To resolve this, introduce a new set of interrupt disabling APIs:

*	local_interrupt_disable();
*	local_interrupt_enable();

They work like local_irq_save() and local_irq_restore() except that 1)
the outermost local_interrupt_disable() call save the interrupt state
into a percpu variable, so that the outermost local_interrupt_enable()
can restore the state, and 2) a percpu counter is added to record the
nest level of these calls, so that interrupts are not accidentally
enabled inside the outermost critical section.

Also add the corresponding spin_lock primitives: spin_lock_irq_disable()
and spin_unlock_irq_enable(), as a result, code as follow:

	spin_lock_irq_disable(l1);
	spin_lock_irq_disable(l2);
	spin_unlock_irq_enable(l1);
	// Interrupts are still disabled.
	spin_unlock_irq_enable(l2);

doesn't have the issue that interrupts are accidentally enabled.

This also makes the wrapper of interrupt-disabling locks on Rust easier
to design.

[PATCH v13 06/17] irq: Add KUnit test for refcounted interrupt enable/disable

[Lyude Paul]

While making changes to the refcounted interrupt patch series, at some
point on my local branch I broke something and ended up writing some kunit
tests for testing refcounted interrupts as a result. So, let's include
these tests now that we have refcounted interrupts.

[PATCH v13 07/17] rust: Introduce interrupt module

[Lyude Paul]

This introduces a module for dealing with interrupt-disabled contexts,
including the ability to enable and disable interrupts along with the
ability to annotate functions as expecting that IRQs are already
disabled on the local CPU.

[Boqun: This is based on Lyude's work on interrupt disable abstraction,
I port to the new local_interrupt_disable() mechanism to make it work
as a guard type. I cannot even take the credit of this design, since
Lyude also brought up the same idea in zulip. Anyway, this is only for
POC purpose, and of course all bugs are mine]

V10:
* Fix documentation typos
V11:
* Get rid of unneeded `use bindings;`
* Move ASSUME_DISABLED into assume_disabled()
* Confirm using lockdep_assert_irqs_disabled() that local interrupts are in
  fact disabled when LocalInterruptDisabled::assume_disabled() is called.

[PATCH v13 08/17] rust: helper: Add spin_{un,}lock_irq_{enable,disable}() helpers

[Lyude Paul]

From: Boqun Feng <boqun.feng@gmail.com>

spin_lock_irq_disable() and spin_unlock_irq_enable() are inline
functions, to use them in Rust, helpers are introduced. This is for
interrupt disabling lock abstraction in Rust.

[PATCH v13 09/17] rust: sync: Add SpinLockIrq

[Lyude Paul]

A variant of SpinLock that is expected to be used in noirq contexts, so
lock() will disable interrupts and unlock() (i.e. `Guard::drop()` will
undo the interrupt disable.

[PATCH v13 10/17] rust: sync: Introduce lock::Backend::Context

[Lyude Paul]

Now that we've introduced an `InterruptDisabled` token for marking
contexts in which IRQs are disabled, we can have a way to avoid
`SpinLockIrq` disabling interrupts if the interrupts have already been
disabled. Basically, a `SpinLockIrq` should work like a `SpinLock` if
interrupts are disabled. So a function:

	(&'a SpinLockIrq, &'a InterruptDisabled) -> Guard<'a, .., SpinLockBackend>

makes senses. Note that due to `Guard` and `InterruptDisabled` having the
same lifetime, interrupts cannot be enabled while the Guard exists.

Add a `lock_with()` interface for `Lock`, and an associate type of
`Backend` to describe the context.

[PATCH v13 11/17] rust: sync: lock: Add `Backend::BackendInContext`

[Lyude Paul]

From: Boqun Feng <boqun.feng@gmail.com>

`SpinLock`'s backend can be used for `SpinLockIrq`, if the interrupts are
disabled. And it actually provides performance gains since interrupts are
not needed to be disabled anymore. So add `Backend::BackendInContext` to
describe the case where one backend can be used for another. Use it to
implement the `lock_with()` so that `SpinLockIrq` can avoid disabling
interrupts by using `SpinLock`'s backend.

V10:
* Fix typos - Dirk/Lyude
* Since we're adding support for context locks to GlobalLock as well, let's
  also make sure to cover try_lock while we're at it and add try_lock_with
* Add a private function as_lock_in_context() for handling casting from a
  Lock<T, B> to Lock<T, B::BackendInContext> so we don't have to duplicate
  safety comments
V11:
* Fix clippy::ref_as_ptr error in Lock::as_lock_in_context()

[PATCH v13 12/17] rust: sync: lock/global: Rename B to G in trait bounds

[Lyude Paul]

Due to the introduction of Backend::BackendInContext, if we want to be able
support Lock types with a Context we need to be able to handle the fact
that the Backend for a returned Guard may not exactly match the Backend for
the lock. Before we add this though, rename B to G in all of our trait
bounds to make sure things don't become more difficult to understand once
we add a Backend bound.

There should be no functional changes in this patch.

[PATCH v13 13/17] rust: sync: Add a lifetime parameter to lock::global::GlobalGuard

[Lyude Paul]

While a GlobalLock is always going to be static, in the case of locks with
explicit backend contexts the GlobalGuard will not be 'static and will
instead share the lifetime of the context. So, add a lifetime parameter to
GlobalGuard to allow for this so we can implement GlobalGuard support for
SpinlockIrq.

[PATCH v13 14/17] rust: sync: Expose lock::Backend

[Lyude Paul]

Due to the addition of sync::lock::Backend::Context, lock guards can be
returned with a different Backend than their respective lock. Since we'll
be adding a trait bound for Backend to GlobalGuard in order to support
this, users will need to be able to directly refer to Backend so that they
can use it in trait bounds.

So, let's make this easier for users and expose Backend in sync.

explicitly specify which Backend is in use for a GlobalGuard.

[PATCH v13 16/17] rust: sync: lock/global: Add BackendInContext support to GlobalLock

[Lyude Paul]

Now that we have the ability to provide an explicit lifetime for a
GlobalGuard and an explicit Backend for a GlobalGuard, we can finally
implement lock_with() and try_lock_with().

[PATCH v13 17/17] locking: Switch to _irq_{disable,enable}() variants in cleanup guards

[Lyude Paul]

From: Boqun Feng <boqun.feng@gmail.com>

The semantics of various irq disabling guards match what
*_irq_{disable,enable}() provide, i.e. the interrupt disabling is
properly nested, therefore it's OK to switch to use
*_irq_{disable,enable}() primitives.

Re: [PATCH v13 01/17] preempt: Track NMI nesting to separate per-CPU counter

JFYI - This hunk shouldn't be here, it looks like there was probably a rust
formatting issue somewhere else in the kernel tree, which got added by mistake
onto this commit when I went through the series and ran rustfmt on each
commit. Will make sure this gets fixed whenever I send out another version

Yeah, one is the one that Linus kept in the tree for the merge
conflicts discussion, while the other was probably not intentional
(i.e. simply manually formatted) -- context and fixes in this series:

    https://lore.kernel.org/rust-for-linux/20251010174351.948650-2-ojeda@kernel.org/

So, no worries, I guess it is to be expected given the tree has always
been `rustfmt` clean.

I hope that helps.

Cheers,
Miguel

Great point. I will move this to DECLARE_PER_CPU_CACHE_HOT()
so it's co-located with preempt_count and run some tests. Let me know if that
works for you, thanks!

Well, I hate how on entry we then end up incrementing both. How terrible
would it be to make __preempt_count u64 instead?

This is true, I can cure it by setting NMI_OFFSET unconditionally when
nmi_nesting >= 1. Then the outer most NMI will then reset it. I think that will
work. Do you see any other issue with doing so?

Thanks!

Would that break 32-bit x86? I have to research this more. This was what I
initially thought of doing but ISTR some challenges. I'd like to think that was
my imagination, but I will revisit it and see what it takes.

You can do a 64bit addition with 2 instructions on most 32 bit arch,
i386 in specific has: ADD+ADC. Same for many of the other simple ops.
Its multiplication and division where things get tricky, but luckily we
don't do much of those on __preempt_count.

unconditionally set NMI_FFSET, regardless of nmi_nesting
and only clear on exit when nmi_nesting == 0.

Notably, when you use u64 __preempt_count, you can limit this to 32bit
only. The NMI nesting can happen in the single instruction window
between ADD and ADC. But on 64bit you don't have that gap and so don't
need to fix it.

Is a new counter really required to fix the issues that exist in the
above examples? Has it been considered to remove the spin_lock_irqsave()
and spin_lock_irqrestore() definitions, to introduce a macro that saves
the interrupt state in a local variable and restores the interrupt state
from the same local variable? With this new macro, the first two examples
above would be changed into the following (this code has not been tested
in any way):

scoped_irq_disable {
   spin_lock(l1);
   spin_lock(l2);
   ...
   spin_unlock(l1);
   spin_unlock(l2);
}

scoped_irq_disable {
   scoped_irq_disable {
     scoped_guard(spin_lock, l1) {
       spin_lock(l2);
     }
   }
   spin_unlock(l2);
}

scoped_irq_disable could be defined as follows:

static inline void __local_irq_restore(void *flags)
{
	local_irq_restore(*(unsigned long *)flags);
}

#define scoped_irq_disable \
	__scoped_irq_disable(__UNIQUE_ID(flags), __UNIQUE_ID(label))

#define __scoped_irq_disable(_flags, _label)                          \
	for (unsigned long _flags __cleanup(__local_irq_restore);     \
	     ({ local_irq_save(_flags); }), true; ({ goto _label; })) \
		if (0) {                                              \
_label:                                                               \
			break;                                        \

So the thing is that actually frobbing the hardware interrupt state is
relatively expensive. On x86 things like PUSHF/POPF/CLI/STI are
definitely on the 'nice to avoid' side of things.

Various people have written patches to avoid them on x86, and while none
of them have made it, they did show benefit (notably PowerPC already
does something tricky because for them it is *really* expensive).

So in that regard, keeping this counter allows us to strictly reduce the
places where we have to touch IF. The interface is nicer too, so a win
all-round.

My main objection to all this has been that they add to the interface
instead of replace the interface. Ideally this would implement
spin_lock_irq() and spin_lock_irqsave() in terms of the new
spin_lock_irq_disable() and then we go do tree wide cleanups over a few
cycles.

The problem is that that requires non-trivial per architecture work and
they've so far tried to avoid this...

To do this right you have to correctly 'nest' the flags even though
the locks are chained.
So you should have:
	spin_unlock_irqrestore(l1, flags2);
Which is one reason why schemes that save the interrupt state in the
lock are completely broken.

Did you consider a scheme where the interrupt disable count is held in a
per-cpu variable (rather than on-stack)?
It might have to be the same per-cpu variable that is used for disabling
pre-emption.
If you add (say) 256 to disable interrupts and do the hardware disable
when the count ends up between 256 and 511 and the enable on the opposite
transition I think it should work.
An interrupt after the increment will be fine - it can't do a process
switch.

The read-add-write doesn't even need to be atomic.
The problem is a process switch and that can only happen when the only
value is zero - so it doesn't matter it is can from a different cpu!

I know some systems (I think including x86) have only incremented such a
counter instead of doing the hardware interrupt disable.
When an interrupt happens they realise it shouldn't have, block the IRQ,
remember there is a deferred interrupt, and return from the ISR.
This is good for very short disables - because the chance of an IRQ
is low.

Right, that would be the ideal case, however I did an experiment on
ARM64 trying to implement spin_lock_irq() with the new API (actually
it's implementing local_irq_disable() with the new API), here are my
findings:

1. At least in my test env, in start_kernel() we call
   local_irq_disable() while irq is already disabled, that means we
   expect unpaired local_irq_disable() + local_irq_enable().

2. My half-baked debugging tool found out we have code like:

    __pm_runtime_resume():
      spin_lock_irqsave();
      rpm_resume():
        rpm_callback():
          __rpm_callback():
            spin_unlock_irq();
            spin_lock_irq();
      spin_lock_irqrestore();

  this works if __pm_runtime_resume() never gets called while irq is
  already disabled, but if we were to implement spin_lock_irq() with the
  new API, it would be broken.

All in all, local_irq_disable(), local_irq_save() and the new API have
semantic-wise differences, while they behave almost the same if the
interrupt disabling scopes are properly nested, but we do have
"creative" usages: 1) shows we have code actually depends on unpaired
_disable() + _enable() and 2) shows we have "buggy" code that relys on
the semantic difference to work.

In an ideal world, we should find out all 1) and 2) and adjust that to
avoid a new interface, but I feel like, especially because of the
existence of 2), that is punishing the good code because of bad code ;-)
So adding the new API first, making it easy to use and difficult to
misuse and consolidating all APIs later seems more reasonable to me.

This patch is exactly about using percpu (in this case it's the preempt
count) to track interrupt disabling nested level and enabling interrupts
when the count reaches to 0 ;-)

Wouldn't this break __preempt_count_dec_and_test though? If we make it
64-bit, then there is no longer a way on x86 32-bit to decrement the preempt
count and zero-test the entire word in the same instruction (decl). And I
feel there might be other races as well. Also this means that every
preempt_disable/enable will be heavier on 32-bit.

If we take the approach of this patch, but move the per-cpu counter to cache
hot area, what are the other drawbacks other than few more instructions on
NMI entry/exit? It feels simpler and less risky. But let me know if I missed
something.

thanks,
