Subject: [PATCH v7 0/7] barrier: Add smp_cond_load_*_timeout()
Date: Thu, 16 Oct 2025 23:15:59 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251017061606.455701-1-ankur.a.arora@oracle.com> (raw)

This series adds waited variants of the smp_cond_load() primitives:
smp_cond_load_relaxed_timeout(), and smp_cond_load_acquire_timeout().

As the name suggests, the new interfaces are meant for contexts where
you want to wait on a condition variable for a finite duration.  This is
easy enough to do with a loop around cpu_relax(). However, some
architectures (ex. arm64) also allow waiting on a cacheline. So, these
interfaces handle a mixture of spin/wait with a smp_cond_load() thrown
in.

The interfaces are:
   smp_cond_load_relaxed_timeout(ptr, cond_expr, time_check_expr)
   smp_cond_load_acquire_timeout(ptr, cond_expr, time_check_expr)

The added parameter, time_check_expr, determines the bail out condition.

Also add the ancillary interfaces atomic_cond_read_*_timeout(), and
atomic64_cond_read_*_timeout(), both of which are wrappers around
smp_cond_load_*_timeout().

Update poll_idle() and resilient queued spinlocks to use these
interfaces.

Changelog:

  v6 [1]:
   - fixup missing timeout parameters in atomic64_cond_read_*_timeout()
   - remove a race between setting of TIF_NEED_RESCHED and the 
   - dev->poll_time_limit was being set even if we hadn't spent any
     time waiting. (Comparing against local_clock() would be fine, but
     I'm using a cheaper check against _TIF_NEED_RESCHED.)
   (Both from meta-CI bot)

  v5 [2]:
   - use cpu_poll_relax() instead of cpu_relax().
   - instead of defining an arm64 specific
     smp_cond_load_relaxed_timeout(), just define the appropriate
     cpu_poll_relax().
   - re-read the target pointer when we exit due to the time-check.
   - s/SMP_TIMEOUT_SPIN_COUNT/SMP_TIMEOUT_POLL_COUNT/
   (Suggested by Will Deacon)

   - add atomic_cond_read_*_timeout() and atomic64_cond_read_*_timeout()
     interfaces.
   - rqspinlock: use atomic_cond_read_acquire_timeout().
   - cpuidle: use smp_cond_load_relaxed_tiemout() for polling.
   (Suggested by Catalin Marinas)

   - rqspinlock: define SMP_TIMEOUT_POLL_COUNT to be 16k for non arm64

  v4 [3]:
    - naming change 's/timewait/timeout/'
    - resilient spinlocks: get rid of res_smp_cond_load_acquire_waiting()
      and fixup use of RES_CHECK_TIMEOUT().
    (Both suggested by Catalin Marinas)

  v3 [4]:
    - further interface simplifications (suggested by Catalin Marinas)

  v2 [5]:
    - simplified the interface (suggested by Catalin Marinas)
       - get rid of wait_policy, and a multitude of constants
       - adds a slack parameter
      This helped remove a fair amount of duplicated code duplication and in hindsight
      unnecessary constants.

  v1 [6]:
     - add wait_policy (coarse and fine)
     - derive spin-count etc at runtime instead of using arbitrary
       constants.

Haris Okanovic tested v4 of this series with poll_idle()/haltpoll patches. [7]

Any comments appreciated!

Thanks!
