[PATCH] rtmutex: multiple candidate owners without unrelated boosting

From: Lai Jiangshan
Date: Tue Dec 14 2010 - 04:03:53 EST


Current rtmutex just supports one pending owner only,
this patch make any rtmutex can have multiple candidate owners.

In this changelog I use "pending owner" and "candidate owner"
without distinguishing, they are the same meaning. But I
think the name "candidate owner" is more suitable, so I
only use "candidate owner" in the code.

In current rtmutex, the pending owner may be boosted by the tasks
in the rtmutex waitlist when the pending owner is deboosted
or a task in the waitlist is boosted. This boosting is unrelated,
because the pending owner does not really take the rtmutex.
It is not reasonable.

Example.

time1:
A(high prio) onwers the rtmutex.
B(mid prio) and C (low prio) in the waitlist.

time2
A release the lock, B becomes the pending owner
A(or other high prio task) continues to run. B's prio is lower
than A, so B is just queued at the runqueue.

time3
A or other high prio task sleeps, but we have passed some time
The B and C's prio are changed in the period (time2 ~ time3)
due to boosting or deboosting. Now C has the priority higher
than B. ***Is it reasonable that C has to boost B and help B to
get the rtmutex?

NO!! I think, it is unrelated/unneed boosting before B really
owns the rtmutex. We should give C a change to beat B and
win the rtmutex.

This is the motivation of this patch.

An approach(wrong): when C's priority become higher and B, we deprive
the pending ownership from B and give it to C and wakeup C.
But this approach may lead to livelock.

So my approach: just give pending ownership(candidate ownership)
to C and wakeup C. Thus we have multiple candidate owners(B and C).
Any candidate owner is not boosted until it really owns the rtmutex.

The candidate ownership is assigned to the top waiter always when
1) unlock time
2) the top waiter is changed

If any candidate owner is running and calls try_to_take_rt_mutex(),
it will win unconditionally and really own the lock.

How to indicate a candidate owner?
1) add a variable can_seq in the struct rtmutex, it is increased
when unlock (with waiters queued).
2) when a waiter is assigned candidate ownership:
waiter->cand_seq = rtmutex->cand_seq, waiter->cand_owner = 1;
So a waiter is candidate owner when if and only if
(waiter->cand_owner && waiter->cand_seq == lock->cand_seq)

Other advantage of this patch:
1) The states of a rtmutex are reduced a half, easier to read the code.
2) the codes become shorter.
3) pending owner is not dequeued: they will retain FIFO when it is stolen.
4) like normal mutex, unlock path just do very little work and wakeup candidate owner.
candidate owner dequeue its waiter when it wins the lock.

disadvantage
1) the size of struct rtmutex is slightly larger. (I can send another patch
to reduce it if anyone needs)

Not advantage nor disadvantage
1) Even we support multiple candidate owners, we hardly cause "thundering herd"
the number of candidate owners is likely 1.
2) two APIs are changed.
rt_mutex_owner() will not return pending owner
rt_mutex_next_owner() always return the top owner, it is a candidate owner.
will not return NULL if we only have a pending owner.
I have fixed the code that use these APIs.

need updated after this patch is accepted
1) Document/*
2) the testcase scripts/rt-tester/t4-l2-pi-deboost.tst
