[PATCH v8 10/15] futex: Introduce futex_get_locked_hb().
From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior
Date: Mon Feb 03 2025 - 09:01:44 EST
futex_lock_pi() and __fixup_pi_state_owner() acquire the
futex_q::lock_ptr without holding a reference assuming the previously
obtained hash bucket and the assigned lock_ptr are still valid. This
isn't the case once the private hash can be resized and becomes invalid
after the reference drop.
Introduce futex_get_locked_hb() to lock the hash bucket recorded in
futex_q::lock_ptr. The lock pointer is read in a RCU section to ensure
that it does not go away if the hash bucket has been replaced and the
old pointer has been observed. After locking the pointer needs to be
compared to check if it changed. If so then the hash bucket has been
replaced and the user has been moved to the new one and lock_ptr has
been updated. The lock operation needs to be redone in this case.
Once the lock_ptr is the same, we can return the futex_hash_bucket it
belongs to as the hash bucket for the caller locked. This is important
because we don't own a reference so the hash bucket is valid as long as
we hold the lock.
This means if the local hash is resized then this (old) hash bucket
remains valid as long as we hold the lock because all user need to be
moved to the new hash bucket and have their lock_ptr updated. The task
performing the resize will block.
A special case is an early return in futex_lock_pi() (due to signal or
timeout) and a successful futex_wait_requeue_pi(). In both cases a valid
futex_q::lock_ptr is expected (and its matching hash bucket) but since
the waiter has been removed from the hash this can no longer be guaranteed.
Therefore before the waiter is removed a reference is acquired which is
later dropped by the waiter to avoid a resize.
Add futex_get_locked_hb() and use it.
Acquire an additional reference in requeue_pi_wake_futex() and
futex_unlock_pi() while the futex_q is removed, denote this extra reference
in futex_q::drop_hb_ref and let the waiter drop the reference in this case.
