The requeue_pi() operation on RT kernels creates a problem versus the task::pi_blocked_on state when a waiter is woken early (signal, timeout) and that early wake up interleaves with the requeue_pi() operation. When the requeue manages to block the waiter on the rtmutex which is associated to the second futex, then a concurrent early wakeup of that waiter faces the problem that it has to acquire the hash bucket spinlock, which is not an issue on non-RT kernels, but on RT kernels spinlocks are substituted by 'sleeping' spinlocks based on rtmutex. If the hash bucket lock is contended then blocking on that spinlock would result in a impossible situation: blocking on two locks at the same time (the hash bucket lock and the rtmutex representing the PI futex). It was considered to make the hash bucket locks raw_spinlocks, but especially requeue operations with a large amount of waiters can introduce significant latencies, so that's not an option for RT. The RT tree carried a solution which (ab)used task::pi_blocked_on to store the information about an ongoing requeue and an early wakeup which worked, but required to add checks for these special states all over the place. The distangling of an early wakeup of a waiter for a requeue_pi() operation is already looking at quite some different states and the task::pi_blocked_on magic just expanded that to a hard to understand 'state machine'. This can be avoided by keeping track of the waiter/requeue state in the futex_q object itself. Add a requeue_state field to struct futex_q with the following possible states: Q_REQUEUE_PI_NONE Q_REQUEUE_PI_IGNORE Q_REQUEUE_PI_IN_PROGRESS Q_REQUEUE_PI_WAIT Q_REQUEUE_PI_DONE Q_REQUEUE_PI_LOCKED The waiter starts with state = NONE and the following state transitions are valid: On the waiter side: Q_REQUEUE_PI_NONE -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_IGNORE Q_REQUEUE_PI_IN_PROGRESS -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_WAIT On the requeue side: Q_REQUEUE_PI_NONE -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_INPROGRESS Q_REQUEUE_PI_IN_PROGRESS -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_DONE/LOCKED Q_REQUEUE_PI_IN_PROGRESS -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_NONE (requeue failed) Q_REQUEUE_PI_WAIT -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_DONE/LOCKED Q_REQUEUE_PI_WAIT -> Q_REQUEUE_PI_IGNORE (requeue failed) The requeue side ignores a waiter with state Q_REQUEUE_PI_IGNORE as this signals that the waiter is already on the way out. It also means that the waiter is still on the 'wait' futex, i.e. uaddr1. The waiter side signals early wakeup to the requeue side either through setting state to Q_REQUEUE_PI_IGNORE or to Q_REQUEUE_PI_WAIT depending on the current state. In case of Q_REQUEUE_PI_IGNORE it can immediately proceed to take the hash bucket lock of uaddr1. If it set state to WAIT, which means the wakeup is interleaving with a requeue in progress it has to wait for the requeue side to change the state. Either to DONE/LOCKED or to IGNORE. DONE/LOCKED means the waiter q is now on the uaddr2 futex and either blocked (DONE) or has acquired it (LOCKED). IGNORE is set by the requeue side when the requeue attempt failed via deadlock detection and therefore the waiter's futex_q is still on the uaddr1 futex. While this is not strictly required on !RT making this unconditional has the benefit of common code and it also allows the waiter to avoid taking the hash bucket lock on the way out in certain cases, which reduces contention. Add the required helpers required for the state transitions, invoke them at the right places and restructure the futex_wait_requeue_pi() code to handle the return from wait (early or not) based on the state machine values. On !RT enabled kernels the waiter spin waits for the state going from Q_REQUEUE_PI_WAIT to some other state, on RT enabled kernels this is handled by rcuwait_wait_event() and the corresponding wake up on the requeue side.
