Some of the kernel's `ww_mutex` functions are implemented as
`static inline`, so they are inaccessible from Rust as bindgen
can't generate code on them. This patch provides C function wrappers
around these inline implementations, so bindgen can see them and generate
the corresponding Rust code.

Adds the `Class` type, the first step in supporting
`ww_mutex` in Rust. `Class` represents ww_class, used
for deadlock avoidance for supporting both wait-die
and wound-wait semantics.
Also adds the `define_class!` macro for safely declaring
static instances.

Looks like there's a funny pitfall here! According to Alice Rhyl (see the
convo we had in zulip), for this to actually be safe we need to add an empty
Drop implementation to Mutex to ensure the compiler doesn't actually allow it
to be dropped after the lock class. So would be good to add that + a comment
of why it's needed

…you want #[repr(C)] to be able to ensure that there's definitely no chance of
the compiler adding padding, and you want to mention repr(C) as well here.

You can elide the lifetimes here (e.g. drop <'a>, just use '_ for MutexGuard)

`LockSet` is a high-level and safe API built on top of
ww_mutex, provides a simple API while keeping the ww_mutex
semantics.
When `EDEADLK` is hit, it drops all held locks, resets
the acquire context and retries the given (by the user)
locking algorithm until it succeeds.

I don't think that we need or want to keep track of this - even for checking
if we've acquired a lock already. The kernel already does this (from
__ww_rt_mutex_lock()):
if (ww_ctx) {
if (unlikely(ww_ctx == READ_ONCE(lock->ctx)))
return -EALREADY;
/*
* Reset the wounded flag after a kill. No other process can
* race and wound us here, since they can't have a valid owner
* pointer if we don't have any locks held.
*/
if (ww_ctx->acquired == 0)
ww_ctx->wounded = 0;
#ifdef CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC
nest_lock = &ww_ctx->dep_map;
#endif

I wonder if there's some way we can get rid of the safety contract here and
verify this at compile time, it would be a shame if every single lock
invocation needed to be unsafe.

I'm still pretty confident we don't need or want both closures and can combine
them into a single closure. And I am still pretty sure the only thing that
needs to be tracked here is which lock we failed to acquire in the event of a
deadlock.
Let me see if I can do a better job of explaining why. Or, if I'm actually
wrong about this - maybe this will help you correct me and see where I've
misunderstood something :).
First, let's pretend we've made a couple of changes here:
* We remove `taken: KVec<RawGuard>` and replace it with `failed: *mut
Mutex<…>`
* lock_set.lock():
- Now returns a `Guard` that executes `ww_mutex_unlock` in its destructor
- If `ww_mutex_lock` fails due to -EDEADLK, this function stores a pointer to
the respective mutex in `lock_set.failed`.
- Before acquiring a lock, we now check:
+ if lock_set.failed == lock
* Return a Guard for lock without calling ww_mutex_lock()
* lock_set.failed = null_mut();
* We remove `on_all_locks_taken()`, and rename `locking_algorithm` to
`ww_cb`.
* If `ww_cb()` returns Err(EDEADLK):
- if !lock_set.failed.is_null()
+ ww_mutex_lock(lock_set.failed) // Don't store a guard
* If `ww_cb()` returns Ok(…):
- if !lock_set.failed.is_null()
// This could only happen if we hit -EDEADLK but then `ww_cb` did not
// re-acquire `lock_set.failed` on the next attempt
+ ww_mutex_unlock(lock_set.failed)
With all of those changes, we can rewrite `ww_cb` to look like this:
|lock_set| {
// SAFETY: Both `lock_set` and `mutex1` uses the same class.
let g1 = unsafe { lock_set.lock(&mutex1)? };
// SAFETY: Both `lock_set` and `mutex2` uses the same class.
let g2 = unsafe { lock_set.lock(&mutex2)? };
*g1 += 1;
*g2 += 2;
Ok(())
}
If we hit -EDEADLK when trying to acquire g2, this is more or less what would
happen:
* let res = ww_cb():
- let g1 = …; // (we acquire g1 successfully)
- let g2 = …; // (enter .lock())
+ res = ww_mutex_lock(mutex2);
+ if (res) == EDEADLK
* lock_set.failed = mutex2;
+ return Err(EDEADLK);
- return Err(-EDEADLK);
// Exiting ww_cb(), so rust will drop all variables in this scope:
+ ww_mutex_unlock(mutex1) // g1's Drop
* // (res == Err(EDEADLK))
// All locks have been released at this point
* if !lock_set.failed.is_null()
- ww_mutex_lock(lock_set.failed) // Don't create a guard
// We've now re-acquired the lock we dead-locked on
* let res = ww_cb():
- let g1 = …; // (we acquire g1 successfully)
- let g2 = …; // (enter .lock())
+ if lock_set.failed == lock
* lock_set.failed = null_mut();
* return Guard(…); // but don't call ww_mutex_lock(), it's already locked
- // We acquired g2 successfully!
- *g1 += 1;
- *g2 += 2;
* etc…
The only challenge with this is that users need to write their ww_cb()
implementations to be idempotent (so that calling it multiple times isn't
unexpected). But that's already what we do on the C side, and is kind of what
I expected we would want to do in rust anyhow.
Does this make sense, or was there something I made a mistake with here?
