Jan Kara reported the following bug triggering on 6.0.5-rt14 running dbench
on XFS on arm64.
kernel BUG at fs/inode.c:625!
Internal error: Oops - BUG: 0 [#1] PREEMPT_RT SMP
CPU: 11 PID: 6611 Comm: dbench Tainted: G E 6.0.0-rt14-rt+ #1

It also affects 6.1-rc7-rt5 and affects a preempt-rt fork of 5.14 so this
is likely a bug that existed forever and only became visible when ARM
support was added to preempt-rt. The same problem does not occur on x86-64
and he also reported that converting sb->s_inode_wblist_lock to
raw_spinlock_t makes the problem disappear indicating that the RT spinlock
variant is the problem.
Which in turn means that RT mutexes on ARM64 and any other weakly ordered
architecture are affected by this independent of RT.
Will Deacon observed:
"I'd be more inclined to be suspicious of the slowpath tbh, as we need to
make sure that we have acquire semantics on all paths where the lock can
be taken. Looking at the rtmutex code, this really isn't obvious to me
-- for example, try_to_take_rt_mutex() appears to be able to return via
the 'takeit' label without acquire semantics and it looks like we might
be relying on the caller's subsequent _unlock_ of the wait_lock for
ordering, but that will give us release semantics which aren't correct."
Sebastian Andrzej Siewior prototyped a fix that does work based on that
comment but it was a little bit overkill and added some fences that should
not be necessary.
The lock owner is updated with an IRQ-safe raw spinlock held, but the
spin_unlock does not provide acquire semantics which are needed when
acquiring a mutex.
Adds the necessary acquire semantics for lock owner updates in the slow path
acquisition and the waiter bit logic.
It successfully completed 10 iterations of the dbench workload while the
vanilla kernel fails on the first iteration.

Make the region inside the rwsem_write_trylock non preemptible.
We observe RT task is hogging CPU when trying to acquire rwsem lock
which was acquired by a kworker task but before the rwsem owner was set.
Here is the scenario:
1. CFS task (affined to a particular CPU) takes rwsem lock.
2. CFS task gets preempted by a RT task before setting owner.
3. RT task (FIFO) is trying to acquire the lock, but spinning until
RT throttling happens for the lock as the lock was taken by CFS task.
This patch attempts to fix the above issue by disabling preemption
until owner is set for the lock. While at it also fix the issues
at the places where rwsem_{set,clear}_owner() are called.
This also adds lockdep annotation of preemption disable in
rwsem_{set,clear}_owner() on Peter Z. suggestion.

the CPU overhead of RCU tasks trace grace periods by more than
a factor of two on a system with 15,000 tasks. The reduction
is expected to increase with the number of tasks, so it seems
reasonable to hypothesize that a system with 150,000 tasks might
see a 20-fold reduction in CPU overhead.

With commit d257cc8cb8 ("locking/rwsem: Make handoff bit handling more
consistent"), the writer that sets the handoff bit can be interrupted
out without clearing the bit if the wait queue isn't empty. This disables
reader and writer optimistic lock spinning and stealing.
Now if a non-first writer in the queue is somehow woken up or a new
waiter enters the slowpath, it can't acquire the lock. This is not the
case before commit d257cc8cb8 as the writer that set the handoff bit
will clear it when exiting out via the out_nolock path. This is less
efficient as the busy rwsem stays in an unlock state for a longer time.
In some cases, this new behavior may cause lockups as shown in [1] and
[2].
This patch allows a non-first writer to ignore the handoff bit if it
is not originally set or initiated by the first waiter. This patch is
shown to be effective in fixing the lockup problem reported in [1].

Commit dfd5e3f5fe ("locking/lockdep: Mark local_lock_t") added yet
another lockdep_init_map_*() variant, but forgot to update all the

This could lead to a loss of lock_type and hence an incorrect report.
Given the relative rarity of both local_lock and these annotations,
this is unlikely to happen in practise, still, best fix things.

Since the rewrote of prandom_u32(), in the commit mentioned below, the
function uses sleeping locks which extracing random numbers and filling
the batch.
This breaks lockdep on PREEMPT_RT because lock_pin_lock() disables
interrupts while calling __lock_pin_lock(). This can't be moved earlier
because the main user of the function (rq_pin_lock()) invokes that
function after disabling interrupts in order to acquire the lock.
The cookie does not require random numbers as its goal is to provide a
random value in order to notice unexpected "unlock + lock" sites.
Use sched_clock() to provide random numbers.

For two kernel releases now kernel/sysctl.c has been being cleaned up
slowly, since the tables were grossly long, sprinkled with tons of #ifdefs and
all this caused merge conflicts with one susbystem or another.
This tree was put together to help try to avoid conflicts with these cleanups
going on different trees at time. So nothing exciting on this pull request,
just cleanups.
I actually had this sysctl-next tree up since v5.18 but I missed sending a
pull request for it on time during the last merge window. And so these changes
have been being soaking up on sysctl-next and so linux-next for a while.
The last change was merged May 4th.
Most of the compile issues were reported by 0day and fixed.
To help avoid a conflict with bpf folks at Daniel Borkmann's request
I merged bpf-next/pr/bpf-sysctl into sysctl-next to get the effor which
moves the BPF sysctls from kernel/sysctl.c to BPF core.

kernel/sysctl.c is a kitchen sink where everyone leaves their dirty
dishes, this makes it very difficult to maintain.
To help with this maintenance let's start by moving sysctls to places
where they actually belong. The proc sysctl maintainers do not want to
know what sysctl knobs you wish to add for your own piece of code, we
just care about the core logic.
All filesystem syctls now get reviewed by fs folks. This commit

Have the trace_contention_*() tracepoints consistently include
adaptive spinning. In order to differentiate between the spinning and
non-spinning states add LCB_F_MUTEX and combine with LCB_F_SPIN.
The consequence is that a mutex contention can now triggler multiple
_begin() tracepoints before triggering an _end().
Additionally, this fixes one path where mutex would trigger _end()
without ever seeing a _begin().

This adds two new lock contention tracepoints like below:
* lock:contention_begin
* lock:contention_end
The lock:contention_begin takes a flags argument to classify locks. I
found it useful to identify what kind of locks it's tracing like if
it's spinning or sleeping, reader-writer lock, real-time, and per-cpu.
Move tracepoint definitions into mutex.c so that we can use them

For writers, the out_nolock path will always attempt to wake up waiters.
This may not be really necessary if the waiter to be removed is not the
first one.
For readers, no attempt to wake up waiter is being made. However, if
the HANDOFF bit is set and the reader to be removed is the first waiter,
the waiter behind it will inherit the HANDOFF bit and for a write lock
waiter waking it up will allow it to spin on the lock to acquire it
faster. So it can be beneficial to do a wakeup in this case.
Add a new rwsem_del_wake_waiter() helper function to do that consistently
for both reader and writer out_nolock paths.

In an analysis of a recent vmcore, a reader-owned rwsem was found with
385 readers but no writer in the wait queue. That is kind of unusual
but it may be caused by some race conditions that we have not fully
understood yet. In such a case, all the readers in the wait queue should
join the other reader-owners and acquire the read lock.
In rwsem_down_write_slowpath(), an incoming writer will try to
wake up the front readers under such circumstance. That is not
the case for rwsem_down_read_slowpath(), add a new helper function
rwsem_cond_wake_waiter() to do wakeup and use it in both reader and
writer slowpaths to have a consistent and correct behavior.

When dumping lock_classes information via /proc/lockdep, we can't take
the lockdep lock as the lock hold time is indeterminate. Iterating
over all_lock_classes without holding lock can be dangerous as there
is a slight chance that it may branch off to other lists leading to
infinite loop or even access invalid memory if changes are made to
all_lock_classes list in parallel.
To avoid this problem, iteration of lock classes is now done directly
on the lock_classes array itself. The lock_classes_in_use bitmap is
checked to see if the lock class is being used. To avoid iterating
the full array all the times, a new max_lock_class_idx value is added
to track the maximum lock_class index that is currently being used.
We can theoretically take the lockdep lock for iterating all_lock_classes
when other lockdep files (lockdep_stats and lock_stat) are accessed as
the lock hold time will be shorter for them. For consistency, they are
also modified to iterate the lock_classes array directly.

It was found that reading /proc/lockdep after a lockdep splat may
potentially cause an access to freed memory if lockdep_unregister_key()
is called after the splat but before access to /proc/lockdep [1]. This
is due to the fact that graph_lock() call in lockdep_unregister_key()
fails after the clearing of debug_locks by the splat process.
After lockdep_unregister_key() is called, the lock_name may be freed
but the corresponding lock_class structure still have a reference to
it. That invalid memory pointer will then be accessed when /proc/lockdep
is read by a user and a use-after-free (UAF) error will be reported if
KASAN is enabled.
To fix this problem, lockdep_unregister_key() is now modified to always
search for a matching key irrespective of the debug_locks state and
zap the corresponding lock class if a matching one is found.

In preparation for converting bit_spin_lock to rwlock in zsmalloc so
that multiple writers of zspages can run at the same time but those
zspages are supposed to be different zspage instance. Thus, it's not
deadlock. This patch adds write_lock_nested to support the case for
LOCKDEP.

Optimistic spinning needs to be terminated when the spinning waiter is not

terminates if the waiter is the top waiter, which is defeating the whole
purpose.

There is not really a softirq context on PREEMPT_RT. Softirqs on
PREEMPT_RT are always invoked within the context of a threaded
interrupt handler or within ksoftirqd. The "in-softirq" context is
preemptible and is protected by a per-CPU lock to ensure mutual
exclusion.
There is no difference on PREEMPT_RT between spin_lock_irq() and
spin_lock() because the former does not disable interrupts. Therefore
if a lock is used in_softirq() and locked once with spin_lock_irq()
then lockdep will report this with "inconsistent {SOFTIRQ-ON-W} ->
{IN-SOFTIRQ-W} usage".
Teach lockdep that we don't really do softirqs on -RT.

Similar to the issues in commits:

a055fcc132 ("locking/rtmutex: Return success on deadlock for ww_mutex waiters")
ww_rt_mutex_lock() should not return EDEADLK without first going through
the __ww_mutex logic to set the required state. In fact, the chain-walk
can deal with the spurious cycles (per the above commits) this check
warns about and is trying to avoid.
Therefore ignore this test for ww_rt_mutex and simply let things fall

rt_rwlock_is_contended() has no users. It makes no sense to use it as
rwlock_is_contended() because it is a sleeping lock on RT and
preemption is possible. It reports always != 0 if used by a writer and
even if there is a waiter then the lock might not be handed over if
the current owner has the highest priority.
Remove rt_rwlock_is_contended().

We found that a process with 10 thousnads threads has been encountered
a regression problem from Linux-v4.14 to Linux-v5.4. It is a kind of
workload which will concurrently allocate lots of memory in different
threads sometimes. In this case, we will see the down_read_trylock()
with a high hotspot. Therefore, we suppose that rwsem has a regression
at least since Linux-v5.4. In order to easily debug this problem, we
write a simply benchmark to create the similar situation lile the
following.
```c++
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <sys/time.h>
#include <sys/resource.h>
#include <sched.h>
#include <cstdio>
#include <cassert>
#include <thread>
#include <vector>
#include <chrono>
volatile int mutex;
void trigger(int cpu, char* ptr, std::size_t sz)
{
cpu_set_t set;
CPU_ZERO(&set);
CPU_SET(cpu, &set);
assert(pthread_setaffinity_np(pthread_self(), sizeof(set), &set) == 0);
while (mutex);
for (std::size_t i = 0; i < sz; i += 4096) {
*ptr = '\0';
ptr += 4096;
}
}
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
std::size_t sz = 100;
if (argc > 1)
sz = atoi(argv[1]);
auto nproc = std:🧵:hardware_concurrency();
std::vector<std::thread> thr;
sz <<= 30;
auto* ptr = mmap(nullptr, sz, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_ANON |
MAP_PRIVATE, -1, 0);
assert(ptr != MAP_FAILED);
char* cptr = static_cast<char*>(ptr);
auto run = sz / nproc;
run = (run >> 12) << 12;
mutex = 1;
for (auto i = 0U; i < nproc; ++i) {
thr.emplace_back(std::thread([i, cptr, run]() { trigger(i, cptr, run); }));
cptr += run;
}
rusage usage_start;
getrusage(RUSAGE_SELF, &usage_start);
auto start = std::chrono::system_clock::now();
mutex = 0;
for (auto& t : thr)
t.join();
rusage usage_end;
getrusage(RUSAGE_SELF, &usage_end);
auto end = std::chrono::system_clock::now();
timeval utime;
timeval stime;
timersub(&usage_end.ru_utime, &usage_start.ru_utime, &utime);
timersub(&usage_end.ru_stime, &usage_start.ru_stime, &stime);
printf("usr: %ld.%06ld\n", utime.tv_sec, utime.tv_usec);
printf("sys: %ld.%06ld\n", stime.tv_sec, stime.tv_usec);
printf("real: %lu\n",
std::chrono::duration_cast<std::chrono::milliseconds>(end -
start).count());
return 0;
}
```
The functionality of above program is simply which creates `nproc`
threads and each of them are trying to touch memory (trigger page
fault) on different CPU. Then we will see the similar profile by
`perf top`.
25.55% [kernel] [k] down_read_trylock
14.78% [kernel] [k] handle_mm_fault
13.45% [kernel] [k] up_read
8.61% [kernel] [k] clear_page_erms
3.89% [kernel] [k] __do_page_fault
The highest hot instruction, which accounts for about 92%, in
down_read_trylock() is cmpxchg like the following.
91.89 │ lock cmpxchg %rdx,(%rdi)
Sice the problem is found by migrating from Linux-v4.14 to Linux-v5.4,
so we easily found that the commit ddb20d1d3a ("locking/rwsem: Optimize
down_read_trylock()") caused the regression. The reason is that the
commit assumes the rwsem is not contended at all. But it is not always
true for mmap lock which could be contended with thousands threads.
So most threads almost need to run at least 2 times of "cmpxchg" to
acquire the lock. The overhead of atomic operation is higher than
non-atomic instructions, which caused the regression.
By using the above benchmark, the real executing time on a x86-64 system
before and after the patch were:
Before Patch After Patch
# of Threads real real reduced by
------------ ------ ------ ----------
1 65,373 65,206 ~0.0%
4 15,467 15,378 ~0.5%
40 6,214 5,528 ~11.0%
For the uncontended case, the new down_read_trylock() is the same as
before. For the contended cases, the new down_read_trylock() is faster
than before. The more contended, the more fast.

There are some inconsistency in the way that the handoff bit is being
handled in readers and writers that lead to a race condition.
Firstly, when a queue head writer set the handoff bit, it will clear
it when the writer is being killed or interrupted on its way out
without acquiring the lock. That is not the case for a queue head
reader. The handoff bit will simply be inherited by the next waiter.
Secondly, in the out_nolock path of rwsem_down_read_slowpath(), both
the waiter and handoff bits are cleared if the wait queue becomes
empty. For rwsem_down_write_slowpath(), however, the handoff bit is
not checked and cleared if the wait queue is empty. This can
potentially make the handoff bit set with empty wait queue.
Worse, the situation in rwsem_down_write_slowpath() relies on wstate,
a variable set outside of the critical section containing the ->count
manipulation, this leads to race condition where RWSEM_FLAG_HANDOFF
can be double subtracted, corrupting ->count.
To make the handoff bit handling more consistent and robust, extract
out handoff bit clearing code into the new rwsem_del_waiter() helper
function. Also, completely eradicate wstate; always evaluate
everything inside the same critical section.
The common function will only use atomic_long_andnot() to clear bits
when the wait queue is empty to avoid possible race condition. If the
first waiter with handoff bit set is killed or interrupted to exit the
slowpath without acquiring the lock, the next waiter will inherit the
handoff bit.
While at it, simplify the trylock for loop in
rwsem_down_write_slowpath() to make it easier to read.
