Subject: [PATCH v8 00/12] barrier: Add smp_cond_load_{relaxed,acquire}_timeout()
Date: Sun, 14 Dec 2025 20:49:07 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251215044919.460086-1-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(). There are, however,
architectures (ex. arm64) that allow waiting on a cacheline instead.
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_expr, timeout)
smp_cond_load_acquire_timeout(ptr, cond_expr, time_expr, timeout)
The parameters, time_expr, timeout determine when to bail out.
Also add tif_need_resched_relaxed_wait() which wraps the pattern used
in poll_idle() and abstracts out details of the interface and those
of the scheduler.
In addition add atomic_cond_read_*_timeout(), atomic64_cond_read_*_timeout(),
and atomic_long wrappers to the interfaces.
Finally update poll_idle() and resilient queued spinlocks to use them.
Changelog:
v7 [0]:
- change the interface to separately provide the timeout. This is
useful for supporting WFET and similar primitives which can do
timed waiting (suggested by Arnd Bergmann).
- Adapting rqspinlock code to this changed interface also
necessitated allowing time_expr to fail.
- rqspinlock changes to adapt to the new smp_cond_load_acquire_timeout().
- add WFET support (suggested by Arnd Bergmann).
- add support for atomic-long wrappers.
- add a new scheduler interface tif_need_resched_relaxed_wait() which
encapsulates the polling logic used by poll_idle().
- interface suggested by (Rafael J. Wysocki).
v6 [1]:
- fixup missing timeout parameters in atomic64_cond_read_*_timeout()
- remove a race between setting of TIF_NEED_RESCHED and the call to
smp_cond_load_relaxed_timeout(). This would mean that dev->poll_time_limit
would be set even if we hadn't spent any time waiting.
(The original check compared against local_clock(), which would have been
fine, but I was instead 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]
Comments appreciated!
