[RFC PATCH 04/13] futex2: Implement requeue operation

From: André Almeida
Date: Mon Feb 15 2021 - 10:29:20 EST


Implement requeue interface similarly to FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE operation.
This is the syscall implemented by this patch:

futex_requeue(struct futex_requeue *uaddr1, struct futex_requeue *uaddr2,
unsigned int nr_wake, unsigned int nr_requeue,
unsigned int cmpval, unsigned int flags)

struct futex_requeue {
void *uaddr;
unsigned int flags;
};

If (uaddr1->uaddr == cmpval), wake at uaddr1->uaddr a nr_wake number of
waiters and then, remove a number of nr_requeue waiters at uaddr1->uaddr
and add them to uaddr2->uaddr list. Each uaddr has its own set of flags,
that must be defined at struct futex_requeue (such as size, shared, NUMA).
The flags argument of the syscall is there just for the sake of
extensibility, and right now it needs to be zero.

Return the number of the woken futexes + the number of requeued ones on
success, error code otherwise.

The original FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE interfaces is such as follows:

futex(*uaddr1, FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE, nr_wake, nr_requeue, *uaddr2, cmpval);

Given that when this interface was created they was only one type of
futex (as opposed to futex2, where there is shared, sizes, and NUMA),
there was no way to specify individual flags for uaddr1 and 2. When
FUTEX_PRIVATE was implemented, a new opcode was created as well
(FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE_PRIVATE), but they apply both futexes, so they
should be of the same type regarding private/shared. This imposes a
limitation on the use cases of the operation, and to overcome that at futex2,
`struct futex_requeue` was created, so one can set individual flags for
each futex. This flexibility is a trade-off with performance, given that
now we need to perform two extra copy_from_user(). One alternative would
be to use the upper half of flags bits to the first one, and the bottom
half for the second futex, but this would also impose limitations, given
that we would limit by half the flags possibilities. If equal futexes
are common enough, the following extension could be added to overcome
the current performance:

- A flag FUTEX_REQUEUE_EQUAL is added to futex2() flags;
- If futex_requeue() see this flag, that means that both futexes uses
the same set of attributes.
- Then, the function parses the flags as of futex_wait/wake().
- *uaddr1 and *uaddr2 are used as void* (instead of struct
futex_requeue) just like wait/wake().

In that way, we could avoid the copy_from_user().
