Subject: [PATCH v8 01/12] asm-generic: barrier: Add smp_cond_load_relaxed_timeout()
Date: Sun, 14 Dec 2025 20:49:08 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251215044919.460086-2-ankur.a.arora@oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251215044919.460086-1-ankur.a.arora@oracle.com>

Add smp_cond_load_relaxed_timeout(), which extends
smp_cond_load_relaxed() to allow waiting for a duration.

We loop around waiting for the condition variable to change while
peridically doing a time-check. The loop uses cpu_poll_relax()
to slow down the busy-waiting, which, unless overridden by the
architecture code, amounts to a cpu_relax().

Note that there are two ways for the time-check to fail: once we have
timed out or, if the time_expr_ns returns an invalid value (negative
or zero).

The number of times we spin before doing the time-check is specified
by SMP_TIMEOUT_POLL_COUNT (chosen to be 200 by default) which,
assuming each cpu_poll_relax() iteration takes ~20-30 cycles (measured
on a variety of x86 platforms), for a total of ~4000-6000 cycles.

That is also the outer limit of the overshoot when working with the
parameters above. This might be higher or lesser depending on the
implementation of cpu_poll_relax() across architectures.

Notes:

   - the interface now breaks the time_check_expr into two parts:
     time_expr_ns (evaluates to current time) and remaining_ns. The main
     reason for doing this was to support WFET and similar primitives
     which can do timed waiting.

   - cpu_poll_relax() now takes an additional paramater to handle that.

   - time_expr_ns can now return failure which needs a little more change
     in organization. This was needed because rqspinlock check_timeout()
     logic mapped naturally to the unified check in time_check_expr.
     Breaking up the time_check_expr, however needed check_timeout() to
     separate a clock interface (which could fail on deadlock or its
     internal timeout check) and the timeout duration.

   - given the changes in logic I've removed Catalin and Haris' R-by and
     Tested-by.
