mempool: fix and document synchronization and memory barrier usage
mempool_alloc/free() use undocumented smp_mb()'s. The code is slightly
broken and misleading.
The lockless part is in mempool_free(). It wants to determine whether the
item being freed needs to be returned to the pool or backing allocator
without grabbing pool->lock. Two things need to be guaranteed for correct
operation.
1. pool->curr_nr + #allocated should never dip below pool->min_nr.
2. Waiters shouldn't be left dangling.
For #1, The only necessary condition is that curr_nr visible at free is
from after the allocation of the element being freed (details in the
comment). For most cases, this is true without any barrier but there can
be fringe cases where the allocated pointer is passed to the freeing task
without going through memory barriers. To cover this case, wmb is
necessary before returning from allocation and rmb is necessary before
reading curr_nr. IOW,
ALLOCATING TASK FREEING TASK
update pool state after alloc;
wmb();
pass pointer to freeing task;
read pointer;
rmb();
read pool state to free;
The current code doesn't have wmb after pool update during allocation and
may theoretically, on machines where unlock doesn't behave as full wmb,
lead to pool depletion and deadlock. smp_wmb() needs to be added after
successful allocation from reserved elements and smp_mb() in
mempool_free() can be replaced with smp_rmb().
For #2, the waiter needs to add itself to waitqueue and then check the
wait condition and the waker needs to update the wait condition and then
wake up. Because waitqueue operations always go through full spinlock
synchronization, there is no need for extra memory barriers.
Furthermore, mempool_alloc() is already holding pool->lock when it decides
that it needs to wait. There is no reason to do unlock - add waitqueue -
test condition again. It can simply add itself to waitqueue while holding
pool->lock and then unlock and sleep.
This patch adds smp_wmb() after successful allocation from reserved pool,
replaces smp_mb() in mempool_free() with smp_rmb() and extend pool->lock
over waitqueue addition. More importantly, it explains what memory
barriers do and how the lockless testing is correct.
-v2: Oleg pointed out that unlock doesn't imply wmb. Added explicit
smp_wmb() after successful allocation from reserved pool and
updated comments accordingly.
