[RFC v3 05/17] RCU free VMAs

From: Laurent Dufour
Date: Thu Apr 27 2017 - 11:54:42 EST


From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Manage the VMAs with SRCU such that we can do a lockless VMA lookup.

We put the fput(vma->vm_file) in the SRCU callback, this keeps files
valid during speculative faults, this is possible due to the delayed
fput work by Al Viro -- do we need srcu_barrier() in unmount
someplace?

We guard the mm_rb tree with a seqlock (XXX could be a seqcount but
we'd have to disable preemption around the write side in order to make
the retry loop in __read_seqcount_begin() work) such that we can know
if the rb tree walk was correct. We cannot trust the restult of a
lockless tree walk in the face of concurrent tree rotations; although
we can trust on the termination of such walks -- tree rotations
guarantee the end result is a tree again after all.

Furthermore, we rely on the WMB implied by the
write_seqlock/count_begin() to separate the VMA initialization and the
publishing stores, analogous to the RELEASE in rcu_assign_pointer().
We also rely on the RMB from read_seqretry() to separate the vma load
from further loads like the smp_read_barrier_depends() in regular
RCU.

We must not touch the vmacache while doing SRCU lookups as that is not
properly serialized against changes. We update gap information after
publishing the VMA, but A) we don't use that and B) the seqlock
read side would fix that anyhow.

We clear vma->vm_rb for nodes removed from the vma tree such that we
can easily detect such 'dead' nodes, we rely on the WMB from
write_sequnlock() to separate the tree removal and clearing the node.

Provide find_vma_srcu() which wraps the required magic.

XXX: mmap()/munmap() heavy workloads might suffer from the global lock
in call_srcu() -- this is fixable with a 'better' SRCU implementation.
