PREEMPT/PREEMPT_RT question

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Tue Jul 12 2005 - 11:38:40 EST


Hello!

OK, counter-flip RCU actually survives a pair of overnight runs on
CONFIG_PREEMPT running on 4-CPU machines, and also survives five
kernbenches and an LTP on another 4-CPU machine. (Overnight-run script
later in this message, FWIW.)

So, time to get serious about a bit of code cleanup:

o The heavyweight atomic operations in rcu_read_lock() and
rcu_read_unlock() are not needed in UP kernels, since
interrupts are disabled.

Is there already something like smp_atomic_inc() and
smp_atomic_dec() that generate atomic_inc()/atomic_dec() in
SMP kernels, but ++/-- in UP kernels? If not, any reasons
not to add them, for example, as follows?

#ifdef CONFIG_SMP
#define smp_atomic_inc(v) atomic_inc(v)
#define smp_atomic_dec(v) atomic_dec(v)
#else /* #ifdef CONFIG_SMP */
#define smp_atomic_inc(v) ((v)++)
#define smp_atomic_dec(v) ((v)++)
#endif /* #else #ifdef CONFIG_SMP */

Since interrupts must be disabled for these to be safe,
my guess is that I should define them locally in rcupdate.c.
If there turns out to be a general need for them, they can
be moved somewhere more public.

Objections?

o In order to get things to work in both CONFIG_PREEMPT and
CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT, I ended up using the following:

#ifdef CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT

#define rcu_spinlock_t _raw_spinlock_t
#define rcu_spin_lock(l, f) _raw_spin_lock(l)
#define rcu_spin_trylock(l, f) _raw_spin_trylock(l)
#define rcu_spin_unlock(l, f) _raw_spin_unlock(l)
#define RCU_SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED RAW_SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED

#else /* #ifdef CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT */

#define rcu_spinlock_t spinlock_t
#define rcu_spin_lock(l, f) spin_lock_irqsave(l, f)
#define rcu_spin_trylock(l, f) spin_trylock_irqsave(l, f)
#define rcu_spin_unlock(l, f) spin_unlock_irqrestore(l, f)
#define RCU_SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED

#endif /* #else #ifdef CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT */

Then using rcu_spin_lock() &c everywhere. The problem is
that (as near as I can tell) the only way to prevent interrupts
from running on the current CPU in CONFIG_PREEMPT kernels is
to use the _irq spinlock primitives, but _raw_spin_lock() does
the job in CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT (since interrupts are run in process
context, right). I could use _irq in both, but that would
unnecessarily degrade interrupt latency in CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT.

Suggestions???

Some remaining shortcomings of the current code:

o Untested on CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT (working on this, suggestions
for 4-CPU-stable CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT versions most welcome).

o Uses atomic operations and memory barriers in the
rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock() fastpaths.
Getting rid of the atomic operations in UP is easy,
in SMP in the common case is reasonably straightforward,
getting rid of memory barriers is harder, but is likely
doable.

o Global callback management slows things down on SMP
(need to move to per-CPU callback management).

o Gross debug code needs pruning (working on this).

o Current implementation is probably too aggressive about
finishing out grace periods -- one of the machines
averaged one grace period every 29 milliseconds over a
15-hour time period. This likely understates the
aggressiveness, since the test is quite bursty.

o Given the small amount testing, there are undoubtably
more bugs.

All that aside, only a moderately severe degree of insanity is
required to run this code.

Improvements since last time:

o Boots and runs reasonably reliably.

o Got rid of the workqueue stuff, simplifying grace-period
detection code. Also allows synchronize_sched() to be
common code between "classic" and realtime RCU
implementations.

o Enabled preemption in RCU read-side critical sections
(even in CONFIG_PREEMPT kernels).

Test script (assumes that you have a linux-2.6.11.tar.bz2 file in
the current directory), relies on the fact that dcache's heavy use
of RCU:

#!/bin/sh

while :
do
i=0
while expr $i '<' 10
do
tar -xjf linux-2.6.11.tar.bz2
echo tar status $?
mv linux-2.6.11 argh$i
echo $i : `grep dentry_cache /proc/slabinfo`
i=`expr $i + 1`
done
for i in argh[0-9]
do
rm -rf $i &
done
wait
echo rm : `grep dentry_cache /proc/slabinfo`
done
