Subject: [PATCH v3] locking/pvqspinlock: restore/set vcpu_hashed state after failing adaptive locking spinning
Date: Thu, 14 Jul 2016 19:39:17 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1468496357-6400-1-git-send-email-wanpeng.li@hotmail.com> (raw)

From: Wanpeng Li <wanpeng.li@hotmail.com>

When the lock holder vCPU is racing with the queue head:

   CPU 0 (lock holder)    CPU 1 (queue head)
   ===================    =================
   spin_lock();           spin_lock();
    pv_kick_node():        pv_wait_head_or_lock():
                            if (!lp) {
                             lp = pv_hash(lock, pn);
                             xchg(&l->locked, _Q_SLOW_VAL);
                            }
                            WRITE_ONCE(pn->state, vcpu_halted);
     cmpxchg(&pn->state, 
      vcpu_halted, vcpu_hashed);
     WRITE_ONCE(l->locked, _Q_SLOW_VAL);
     (void)pv_hash(lock, pn);

In this case, lock holder inserts the pv_node of queue head into the 
hash table and set _Q_SLOW_VAL which can result in hash entry leak. 
This patch avoids it by restoring/setting vcpu_hashed state after 
failing adaptive locking spinning.
