34 /*
35  * The basic principle of a queue-based spinlock can best be understood
36  * by studying a classic queue-based spinlock implementation called the
37  * MCS lock. The paper below provides a good description for this kind
38  * of lock.
39  *
40  * http://www.cise.ufl.edu/tr/DOC/REP-1992-71.pdf
41  *
42  * This queued spinlock implementation is based on the MCS lock, however to make
43  * it fit the 4 bytes we assume spinlock_t to be, and preserve its existing
44  * API, we must modify it somehow.
45  *
46  * In particular; where the traditional MCS lock consists of a tail pointer
47  * (8 bytes) and needs the next pointer (another 8 bytes) of its own node to
48  * unlock the next pending (next->locked), we compress both these: {tail,
49  * next->locked} into a single u32 value.
50  *
51  * Since a spinlock disables recursion of its own context and there is a limit
52  * to the contexts that can nest; namely: task, softirq, hardirq, nmi. As there
53  * are at most 4 nesting levels, it can be encoded by a 2-bit number. Now
54  * we can encode the tail by combining the 2-bit nesting level with the cpu
55  * number. With one byte for the lock value and 3 bytes for the tail, only a
56  * 32-bit word is now needed. Even though we only need 1 bit for the lock,
57  * we extend it to a full byte to achieve better performance for architectures
58  * that support atomic byte write.
59  *
60  * We also change the first spinner to spin on the lock bit instead of its
61  * node; whereby avoiding the need to carry a node from lock to unlock, and
62  * preserving existing lock API. This also makes the unlock code simpler and
63  * faster.
64  *
65  * N.B. The current implementation only supports architectures that allow
66  *      atomic operations on smaller 8-bit and 16-bit data types.

271  * Various notes on spin_is_locked() and spin_unlock_wait(), which are
272  * 'interesting' functions:
273  *
274  * PROBLEM: some architectures have an interesting issue with atomic ACQUIRE
275  * operations in that the ACQUIRE applies to the LOAD _not_ the STORE (ARM64,
276  * PPC). Also qspinlock has a similar issue per construction, the setting of
277  * the locked byte can be unordered acquiring the lock proper.
278  *
279  * This gets to be 'interesting' in the following cases, where the /should/s
280  * end up false because of this issue.
281  *
282  *
283  * CASE 1:
284  *
285  * So the spin_is_locked() correctness issue comes from something like:
286  *
287  *   CPU0				CPU1
288  *
289  *   global_lock();			local_lock(i)
290  *     spin_lock(&G)			  spin_lock(&L[i])
291  *     for (i)				  if (!spin_is_locked(&G)) {
292  *       spin_unlock_wait(&L[i]);	    smp_acquire__after_ctrl_dep();
293  *					    return;
294  *					  }
295  *					  // deal with fail
296  *
297  * Where it is important CPU1 sees G locked or CPU0 sees L[i] locked such
298  * that there is exclusion between the two critical sections.
299  *
300  * The load from spin_is_locked(&G) /should/ be constrained by the ACQUIRE from
301  * spin_lock(&L[i]), and similarly the load(s) from spin_unlock_wait(&L[i])
302  * /should/ be constrained by the ACQUIRE from spin_lock(&G).
303  *
304  * Similarly, later stuff is constrained by the ACQUIRE from CTRL+RMB.
305  *
306  *
307  * CASE 2:
308  *
309  * For spin_unlock_wait() there is a second correctness issue, namely:
310  *
311  *   CPU0				CPU1
312  *
313  *   flag = set;
314  *   smp_mb();				spin_lock(&l)
315  *   spin_unlock_wait(&l);		if (!flag)
316  *					  // add to lockless list
317  *					spin_unlock(&l);
318  *   // iterate lockless list
319  *
320  * Which wants to ensure that CPU1 will stop adding bits to the list and CPU0
321  * will observe the last entry on the list (if spin_unlock_wait() had ACQUIRE
322  * semantics etc..)
323  *
324  * Where flag /should/ be ordered against the locked store of l.
325  */
326 
327 /*
328  * queued_spin_lock_slowpath() can (load-)ACQUIRE the lock before
329  * issuing an _unordered_ store to set _Q_LOCKED_VAL.
330  *
331  * This means that the store can be delayed, but no later than the
332  * store-release from the unlock. This means that simply observing
333  * _Q_LOCKED_VAL is not sufficient to determine if the lock is acquired.
334  *
335  * There are two paths that can issue the unordered store:
336  *
337  *  (1) clear_pending_set_locked():	*,1,0 -> *,0,1
338  *
339  *  (2) set_locked():			t,0,0 -> t,0,1 ; t != 0
340  *      atomic_cmpxchg_relaxed():	t,0,0 -> 0,0,1
341  *
342  * However, in both cases we have other !0 state we've set before to queue
343  * ourseves:
344  *
345  * For (1) we have the atomic_cmpxchg_acquire() that set _Q_PENDING_VAL, our
346  * load is constrained by that ACQUIRE to not pass before that, and thus must
347  * observe the store.
348  *
349  * For (2) we have a more intersting scenario. We enqueue ourselves using
350  * xchg_tail(), which ends up being a RELEASE. This in itself is not
351  * sufficient, however that is followed by an smp_cond_acquire() on the same
352  * word, giving a RELEASE->ACQUIRE ordering. This again constrains our load and
353  * guarantees we must observe that store.
354  *
355  * Therefore both cases have other !0 state that is observable before the
356  * unordered locked byte store comes through. This means we can use that to
357  * wait for the lock store, and then wait for an unlock.
