I have seen several cases of attempts to use mutex_unlock() to release an
object such that the object can then be freed by another task.
This is not safe because mutex_unlock(), in the
MUTEX_FLAG_WAITERS && !MUTEX_FLAG_HANDOFF case, accesses the mutex
structure after having marked it as unlocked; so mutex_unlock() requires
its caller to ensure that the mutex stays alive until mutex_unlock()
returns.
If MUTEX_FLAG_WAITERS is set and there are real waiters, those waiters
have to keep the mutex alive, but we could have a spurious
MUTEX_FLAG_WAITERS left if an interruptible/killable waiter bailed
between the points where __mutex_unlock_slowpath() did the cmpxchg
reading the flags and where it acquired the wait_lock.
( With spinlocks, that kind of code pattern is allowed and, from what I
remember, used in several places in the kernel. )
Document this, such a semantic difference between mutexes and spinlocks
is fairly unintuitive.

The bcachefs implementation of six locks is intended to land in
generic locking code in the long term, but has been pulled into the
bcachefs subsystem for internal use for the time being. This code
lift breaks the bcachefs module build as six locks depend a couple
of the generic locking tracepoints. Export these tracepoint symbols
for bcachefs.

Have the trace_contention_*() tracepoints consistently include
adaptive spinning. In order to differentiate between the spinning and
non-spinning states add LCB_F_MUTEX and combine with LCB_F_SPIN.
The consequence is that a mutex contention can now triggler multiple
_begin() tracepoints before triggering an _end().
Additionally, this fixes one path where mutex would trigger _end()
without ever seeing a _begin().

This adds two new lock contention tracepoints like below:
* lock:contention_begin
* lock:contention_end
The lock:contention_begin takes a flags argument to classify locks. I
found it useful to identify what kind of locks it's tracing like if
it's spinning or sleeping, reader-writer lock, real-time, and per-cpu.
Move tracepoint definitions into mutex.c so that we can use them
without lockdep.

INFO: lockdep is turned off.
Fixing eviction to nest into ww_class_acquire is a high priority, but
it requires a rework of the entire driver, which can only be done one
step at a time.
As an intermediate solution, add an acquire context to
ww_mutex_trylock, which allows us to do proper nesting annotations on
the trylocks, making the above lockdep splat disappear.
This is also useful in regulator_lock_nested, which may avoid dropping
regulator_nesting_mutex in the uncontended path, so use it there.
TTM may be another user for this, where we could lock a buffer in a
fastpath with list locks held, without dropping all locks we hold.

The consolidation of the debug code for mutex waiter intialization sets
waiter::ww_ctx to a poison value unconditionally. For regular mutexes this
is intended to catch the case where waiter_ww_ctx is dereferenced
accidentally.
For ww_mutex the poison value has to be overwritten either with a context
pointer or NULL for ww_mutexes without context.
The rework broke this as it made the store conditional on the context
pointer instead of the argument which signals whether ww_mutex code should
be compiled in or optiized out. As a result waiter::ww_ctx ends up with the
poison pointer for contextless ww_mutexes which causes a later dereference of
the poison pointer because it is != NULL.
Use the build argument instead so for ww_mutex the poison value is always
overwritten.

Yanfei reported that it is possible to loose HANDOFF when we race with
mutex_unlock() and end up setting HANDOFF on an unlocked mutex. At
that point anybody can steal it, losing HANDOFF in the process.
If this happens often enough, we can in fact starve the top waiter.
Solve this by folding the 'set HANDOFF' operation into the trylock
operation, such that either we acquire the lock, or it gets HANDOFF
set. This avoids having HANDOFF set on an unlocked mutex.

Yanfei reported that setting HANDOFF should not depend on recomputing
@first, only on @first state. Which would then give:
if (ww_ctx || !first)
first = __mutex_waiter_is_first(lock, &waiter);
if (first)
__mutex_set_flag(lock, MUTEX_FLAG_HANDOFF);
But because 'ww_ctx || !first' is basically 'always' and the test for
first is relatively cheap, omit that first branch entirely.

The use_ww_ctx flag is passed to mutex_optimistic_spin(), but the

In fact, ww_ctx should not be used at all if !use_ww_ctx. Simplify
ww_mutex code by dropping use_ww_ctx from mutex_optimistic_spin() an

This ended up causing some noise in places such as rxrpc running in softirq.
The warning is misleading in this case as the mutex trylock and unlock
operations are done within the same context; and therefore we need not
worry about the PI-boosting issues that comes along with no single-owner
lock guarantees.
While we don't want to support this in mutexes, there is no way out of
this yet; so lets get rid of the WARNs for now, as it is only fair to
code that has historically relied on non-preemptible softirq guarantees.
In addition, changing the lock type is also unviable: exclusive rwsems
have the same issue (just not the WARN_ON) and counting semaphores
would introduce a performance hit as mutexes are a lot more optimized.

The current Wound-Wait mutex algorithm is actually not Wound-Wait but
Wait-Die. Implement also Wound-Wait as a per-ww-class choice. Wound-Wait
is, contrary to Wait-Die a preemptive algorithm and is known to generate
fewer backoffs. Testing reveals that this is true if the
number of simultaneous contending transactions is small.
As the number of simultaneous contending threads increases, Wait-Wound
becomes inferior to Wait-Die in terms of elapsed time.
Possibly due to the larger number of held locks of sleeping transactions.
Update documentation and callers.

We are going to split <linux/sched/debug.h> out of <linux/sched.h>, which
will have to be picked up from other headers and a couple of .c files.
Create a trivial placeholder <linux/sched/debug.h> file that just
maps to <linux/sched.h> to make this patch obviously correct and
bisectable.
Include the new header in the files that are going to need it.

659cf9f582 ("locking/ww_mutex: Optimize ww-mutexes by waking at most one waiter for backoff when acquiring the lock")
I replaced a comment with a lockdep_assert_held(). However it turns out
we hide that lock from lockdep for hysterical raisins, which results
in the assertion always firing.
Remove the old debug code as lockdep will easily spot the abuse it was
meant to catch, which will make the lock visible to lockdep and make
the assertion work as intended.

We sometimes end up propagating IO blocking through mutexes; however,
because there currently is no way of annotating mutex sleeps as
iowait, there are cases where iowait and /proc/stat:procs_blocked
report misleading numbers obscuring the actual state of the system.
This patch adds mutex_lock_io() so that mutex sleeps can be marked as
iowait in those cases.

Help catch cases where mutex_lock is used directly on w/w mutexes, which
otherwise result in the w/w tasks reading uninitialized data.

Lock stealing is less beneficial for w/w mutexes since we may just end up
backing off if we stole from a thread with an earlier acquire stamp that
already holds another w/w mutex that we also need. So don't spin
optimistically unless we are sure that there is no other waiter that might
cause us to back off.
Median timings taken of a contention-heavy GPU workload:
Before:
real 0m52.946s
user 0m7.272s
sys 1m55.964s
After:
real 0m53.086s
user 0m7.360s
sys 1m46.204s
This particular workload still spends 20%-25% of CPU in mutex_spin_on_owner
according to perf, but my attempts to further reduce this spinning based on
various heuristics all lead to an increase in measured wall time despite
the decrease in sys time.
