[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] [Xen-devel] [PATCH for stable] x86/spinlocks/paravirt: Fix memory corruption on unlock
Paravirt spinlock clears slowpath flag after doing unlock.
As explained by Linus currently it does:
prev = *lock;
add_smp(&lock->tickets.head, TICKET_LOCK_INC);
/* add_smp() is a full mb() */
if (unlikely(lock->tickets.tail & TICKET_SLOWPATH_FLAG))
__ticket_unlock_slowpath(lock, prev);
which is *exactly* the kind of things you cannot do with spinlocks,
because after you've done the "add_smp()" and released the spinlock
for the fast-path, you can't access the spinlock any more. Exactly
because a fast-path lock might come in, and release the whole data
structure.
Linus suggested that we should not do any writes to lock after unlock(),
and we can move slowpath clearing to fastpath lock.
So this patch implements the fix with:
1. Moving slowpath flag to head (Oleg):
Unlocked locks don't care about the slowpath flag; therefore we can keep
it set after the last unlock, and clear it again on the first (try)lock.
-- this removes the write after unlock. note that keeping slowpath flag would
result in unnecessary kicks.
By moving the slowpath flag from the tail to the head ticket we also avoid
the need to access both the head and tail tickets on unlock.
2. use xadd to avoid read/write after unlock that checks the need for
unlock_kick (Linus):
We further avoid the need for a read-after-release by using xadd;
the prev head value will include the slowpath flag and indicate if we
need to do PV kicking of suspended spinners -- on modern chips xadd
isn't (much) more expensive than an add + load.

Changes for stable:
- Don't replace the ACCESS_ONCE to READ_ONCE which would cause horraneous
Compiler warnings (Linus, David Vbriel, PeterZ, Ingo)
Changes since V4:
- one more usage of tickets_equal() (Oleg)
- head > tail situation can lead to false contended check (Oleg)
- smp_mb__after_atomic() added after slowptha_enter (Oleg)
Changes since V3:
- Detailed changelog (PeterZ)
- Replace ACCESS_ONCE with READ_ONCE (oleg)
- Add xen changes (Oleg)
- Correct break logic in unlock_wait() (Oleg)
Changes since V2:
- Move the slowpath flag to head, this enables xadd usage in unlock code
and inturn we can get rid of read/write after unlock (Oleg)
- usage of ticket_equals (Oleg)
Changes since V1:
- Add missing TICKET_LOCK_INC before unlock kick (fixes hang in overcommit:
Jeremy).
- Remove SLOWPATH_FLAG clearing in fast lock. (Jeremy)
- clear SLOWPATH_FLAG in arch_spin_value_unlocked during comparison.
