See rwlock(9F) * for a full description of the interfaces and programming model. * The rest of this comment describes the implementation. * * An rwlock is a single word with the following structure: * * --------------------------------------------------------------------- * | OWNER (writer) or HOLD COUNT (readers) | WRLOCK | WRWANT | WAIT | * --------------------------------------------------------------------- * 63 / 31 .. 3 2 1 0 * * The waiters bit (0) indicates whether any threads are blocked waiting * for the lock. The write-wanted bit (1) indicates whether any threads * are blocked waiting for write access. The write-locked bit (2) indicates * whether the lock is held by a writer, which determines whether the upper * bits (3..31 in ILP32, 3..63 in LP64) should be interpreted as the owner * (thread pointer) or the hold count (number of readers). * * In the absence of any contention, a writer gets the lock by setting * this word to (curthread | RW_WRITE_LOCKED); a reader gets the lock * by incrementing the hold count (i.e. adding 8, aka RW_READ_LOCK). * * A writer will fail to acquire the lock if any other thread owns it. * A reader will fail if the lock is either owned (in the RW_READER and * RW_READER_STARVEWRITER cases) or wanted by a writer (in the RW_READER * case). rw_tryenter() returns 0 in these cases; rw_enter() blocks until * the lock becomes available. * * When a thread blocks it acquires the rwlock's hashed turnstile lock and * attempts to set RW_HAS_WAITERS (and RW_WRITE_WANTED in the writer case) * atomically *only if the lock still appears busy*. A thread must never * accidentally block for an available lock since there would be no owner * to awaken it. casip() provides the required atomicity. Once casip() * succeeds, the decision to block becomes final and irreversible. The * thread will not become runnable again until it has been granted ownership * of the lock via direct handoff from a former owner as described below. * * In the absence of any waiters, rw_exit() just clears the lock (if it * is write-locked) or decrements the hold count (if it is read-locked). * Note that even if waiters are present, decrementing the hold count * to a non-zero value requires no special action since the lock is still * held by at least one other thread. * * On the "final exit" (transition to unheld state) of a lock with waiters, * rw_exit_wakeup() grabs the turnstile lock and transfers ownership directly * to the next writer or set of readers. There are several advantages to this * approach: (1) it closes all windows for priority inversion (when a new * writer has grabbed the lock but has not yet inherited from blocked readers); * (2) it prevents starvation of equal-priority threads by granting the lock * in FIFO order; (3) it eliminates the need for a write-wanted count -- a * single bit suffices because the lock remains held until all waiting * writers are gone; (4) when we awaken N readers we can perform a single * "atomic_add(&x, N)" to set the total hold count rather than having all N * threads fight for the cache to perform an "atomic_add(&x, 1)" upon wakeup. * * The most interesting policy decision in rw_exit_wakeup() is which thread * to wake. Starvation is always possible with priority-based scheduling, * but any sane wakeup policy should at least satisfy these requirements: * * (1) The highest-priority thread in the system should not starve. * (2) The highest-priority writer should not starve. * (3) No writer should starve due to lower-priority threads. * (4) No reader should starve due to lower-priority writers. * (5) If all threads have equal priority, none of them should starve. * * We used to employ a writers-always-win policy, which doesn't even * satisfy (1): a steady stream of low-priority writers can starve out * a real-time reader! This is clearly a broken policy -- it violates * (1), (4), and (5) -- but it's how rwlocks always used to behave. * * A round-robin policy (exiting readers grant the lock to blocked writers * and vice versa) satisfies all but (3): a single high-priority writer * and many low-priority readers can starve out medium-priority writers. * * A strict priority policy (grant the lock to the highest priority blocked * thread) satisfies everything but (2): a steady stream of high-priority * readers can permanently starve the highest-priority writer. * * The reason we care about (2) is that it's important to process writers * reasonably quickly -- even if they're low priority -- because their very * presence causes all readers to take the slow (blocking) path through this * code. There is also a general sense that writers deserve some degree of * deference because they're updating the data upon which all readers act. * Presumably this data should not be allowed to become arbitrarily stale * due to writer starvation. Finally, it seems reasonable to level the * playing field a bit to compensate for the fact that it's so much harder * for a writer to get in when there are already many readers present. * * A hybrid of round-robin and strict priority can be made to satisfy * all five criteria. In this "writer priority policy" exiting readers * always grant the lock to waiting writers, but exiting writers only * grant the lock to readers of the same or higher priority than the * highest-priority blocked writer. Thus requirement (2) is satisfied, * necessarily, by a willful act of priority inversion: an exiting reader * will grant the lock to a blocked writer even if there are blocked * readers of higher priority. The situation is mitigated by the fact * that writers always inherit priority from blocked readers, and the * writer will awaken those readers as soon as it exits the lock. * * Finally, note that this hybrid scheme -- and indeed, any scheme that * satisfies requirement (2) -- has an important consequence: if a lock is * held as reader and a writer subsequently becomes blocked, any further * readers must be blocked to avoid writer starvation. This implementation * detail has ramifications for the semantics of rwlocks, as it prohibits * recursively acquiring an rwlock as reader: any writer that wishes to * acquire the lock after the first but before the second acquisition as * reader will block the second acquisition -- resulting in deadlock. This * itself is not necessarily prohibitive, as it is often straightforward to * prevent a single thread from recursively acquiring an rwlock as reader. * However, a more subtle situation arises when both a traditional mutex and * a reader lock are acquired by two different threads in opposite order. * (That is, one thread first acquires the mutex and then the rwlock as * reader; the other acquires the rwlock as reader and then the mutex.) As * with the single threaded case, this is fine absent a blocked writer: the * thread that acquires the mutex before acquiring the rwlock as reader will * be able to successfully acquire the rwlock -- even as/if the other thread * has the rwlock as reader and is blocked on the held mutex. However, if * an unrelated writer (that is, a third thread) becomes blocked on the * rwlock after the first thread acquires the rwlock as reader but before * it's able to acquire the mutex, the second thread -- with the mutex held * -- will not be able to acquire the rwlock as reader due to the waiting * writer, deadlocking the three threads. Unlike the single-threaded * (recursive) rwlock acquisition case, this case can be quite a bit * thornier to fix, especially as there is nothing inherently wrong in the * locking strategy: the deadlock is really induced by requirement (2), not * the consumers of the rwlock. To permit such consumers, we allow rwlock * acquirers to explicitly opt out of requirement (2) by specifying * RW_READER_STARVEWRITER when acquiring the rwlock. This (obviously) means * that inifinite readers can starve writers, but it also allows for * multiple readers in the presence of other synchronization primitives * without regard for lock-ordering. And while certainly odd (and perhaps * unwise), RW_READER_STARVEWRITER can be safely used alongside RW_READER on * the same lock -- RW_READER_STARVEWRITER describes only the act of lock * acquisition with respect to waiting writers, not the lock itself. * * rw_downgrade() follows the same wakeup policy as an exiting writer. * * rw_tryupgrade() has the same failure mode as rw_tryenter() for a * write lock. Both honor the WRITE_WANTED bit by specification. * * The following rules apply to manipulation of rwlock internal state: * * (1) The rwlock is only modified via the atomic primitives casip() * and atomic_add_ip(). * * (2) The waiters bit and write-wanted bit are only modified under * turnstile_lookup(). This ensures that the turnstile is consistent * with the rwlock. * * (3) Waiters receive the lock by direct handoff from the previous * owner. Therefore, waiters *always* wake up holding the lock. */ /* * The sobj_ops vector exports a set of functions needed when a thread * is asleep on a synchronization object of a given type. */ static sobj_ops_t rw_sobj_ops = { SOBJ_RWLOCK, rw_owner, turnstile_stay_asleep, turnstile_change_pri }; /* * If the system panics on an rwlock, save the address of the offending * rwlock in panic_rwlock_addr, and save the contents in panic_rwlock. */ static rwlock_impl_t panic_rwlock; static rwlock_impl_t *panic_rwlock_addr; static void rw_panic(char *msg, rwlock_impl_t *lp) { if (panicstr) return; if (casptr(&panic_rwlock_addr, NULL, lp) == NULL) panic_rwlock = *lp; panic("%s, lp=%p wwwh=%lx thread=%p", msg, (void *)lp, panic_rwlock.rw_wwwh, (void *)curthread); } /* ARGSUSED */ void rw_init(krwlock_t *rwlp, char *name, krw_type_t type, void *arg) { ((rwlock_impl_t *)rwlp)->rw_wwwh = 0; } void rw_destroy(krwlock_t *rwlp) { rwlock_impl_t *lp = (rwlock_impl_t *)rwlp; if (lp->rw_wwwh != 0) { if ((lp->rw_wwwh & RW_DOUBLE_LOCK) == RW_DOUBLE_LOCK) rw_panic("rw_destroy: lock already destroyed", lp); else rw_panic("rw_destroy: lock still active", lp); } lp->rw_wwwh = RW_DOUBLE_LOCK; } /* * Verify that an rwlock is held correctly. */ static int rw_locked(rwlock_impl_t *lp, krw_t rw) { uintptr_t old = lp->rw_wwwh; if (rw == RW_READER || rw == RW_READER_STARVEWRITER) return ((old & RW_LOCKED) && !(old & RW_WRITE_LOCKED)); if (rw == RW_WRITER) return ((old & RW_OWNER) == (uintptr_t)curthread); return (0); } uint_t (*rw_lock_backoff)(uint_t) = NULL; void (*rw_lock_delay)(uint_t) = NULL; /* * Full-service implementation of rw_enter() to handle all the hard cases. * Called from the assembly version if anything complicated is going on. * The only semantic difference between calling rw_enter() and calling * rw_enter_sleep() directly is that we assume the caller has already done * a THREAD_KPRI_REQUEST() in the RW_READER cases. */ void rw_enter_sleep(rwlock_impl_t *lp, krw_t rw) { uintptr_t old, new, lock_value, lock_busy, lock_wait; hrtime_t sleep_time; turnstile_t *ts; uint_t backoff = 0; int loop_count = 0; if (rw == RW_READER) { lock_value = RW_READ_LOCK; lock_busy = RW_WRITE_CLAIMED; lock_wait = RW_HAS_WAITERS; } else if (rw == RW_READER_STARVEWRITER) { lock_value = RW_READ_LOCK; lock_busy = RW_WRITE_LOCKED; lock_wait = RW_HAS_WAITERS; } else { lock_value = RW_WRITE_LOCK(curthread); lock_busy = (uintptr_t)RW_LOCKED; lock_wait = RW_HAS_WAITERS | RW_WRITE_WANTED; } for (;;) { if (((old = lp->rw_wwwh) & lock_busy) == 0) { if (casip(&lp->rw_wwwh, old, old + lock_value) != old) { if (rw_lock_delay != NULL) { backoff = rw_lock_backoff(backoff); rw_lock_delay(backoff); if (++loop_count == ncpus_online) { backoff = 0; loop_count = 0; } } continue; } break; } if (panicstr) return; if ((old & RW_DOUBLE_LOCK) == RW_DOUBLE_LOCK) { rw_panic("rw_enter: bad rwlock", lp); return; } if ((old & RW_OWNER) == (uintptr_t)curthread) { rw_panic("recursive rw_enter", lp); return; } ts = turnstile_lookup(lp); do { if (((old = lp->rw_wwwh) & lock_busy) == 0) break; new = old | lock_wait; } while (old != new && casip(&lp->rw_wwwh, old, new) != old); if ((old & lock_busy) == 0) { /* * The lock appears free now; try the dance again */ turnstile_exit(lp); continue; } /* * We really are going to block.
