Update rwlocks to track owner to ensure correct semantics The behavior of RW_*_HELD was updated because it was not quite right. It is not sufficient to return non-zero when the lock is help, we must only do this when the current task in the holder. This means we need to track the lock owner which is not something tracked in a Linux semaphore. After some experimentation the solution I settled on was to embed the Linux semaphore at the start of a larger krwlock_t structure which includes the owner field. This maintains good performance and allows us to cleanly intergrate with the kernel lock analysis tools. My reasons: 1) By placing the Linux semaphore at the start of krwlock_t we can then simply cast krwlock_t to a rw_semaphore and pass that on to the linux kernel. This allows us to use '#defines so the preprocessor can do direct replacement of the Solaris primative with the linux equivilant. This is important because it then maintains the location information for each rw_* call point. 2) Additionally, by adding the owner to krwlock_t we can keep this needed extra information adjacent to the lock itself. This removes the need for a fancy lookup to get the owner which is optimal for performance. We can also leverage the existing spin lock in the semaphore to ensure owner is updated correctly. 3) All helper functions which do not need to strictly be implemented as a define to preserve location information can be done as a static inline function. 4) Adding the owner to krwlock_t allows us to remove all memory allocations done during lock initialization. This is good for all the obvious reasons, we do give up the ability to specific the lock name. The Linux profiling tools will stringify the lock name used in the code via the preprocessor and use that. Update rwlocks validated on: - SLES10 (ppc64) - SLES11 (x86_64) - CHAOS4.2 (x86_64) - RHEL5.3 (x86_64) - RHEL6 (x86_64) - FC11 (x86_64)

Correctly handle rwsem_is_locked() behavior A race condition in rwsem_is_locked() was fixed in Linux 2.6.33 and the fix was backported to RHEL5 as of kernel 2.6.18-190.el5. Details can be found here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=526092 The race condition was fixed in the kernel by acquiring the semaphore's wait_lock inside rwsem_is_locked(). The SPL worked around the race condition by acquiring the wait_lock before calling that function, but with the fix in place it must not do that. This commit implements an autoconf test to detect whether the fixed version of rwsem_is_locked() is present. The previous version of rwsem_is_locked() was an inline static function while the new version is exported as a symbol which we can check for in module.symvers. Depending on the result we correctly implement the needed compatibility macros for proper spinlock handling. Finally, we do the right thing with spin locks in RW_*_HELD() by using the new compatibility macros. We only only acquire the semaphore's wait_lock if it is calling a rwsem_is_locked() that does not itself try to acquire the lock. Some new overhead and a small harmless race is introduced by this change. This is because RW_READ_HELD() and RW_WRITE_HELD() now acquire and release the wait_lock twice: once for the call to rwsem_is_locked() and once for the call to rw_owner(). This can't be avoided if calling a rwsem_is_locked() that takes the wait_lock, as it will in more recent kernels. The other case which only occurs in legacy kernels could be optimized by taking the lock only once, as was done prior to this commit. However, I decided that the performance gain probably wasn't significant enough to justify the messy special cases required. The function spl_rw_get_owner() was only used to enable the afore-mentioned optimization. Since it is no longer used, I removed it. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <behlendorf1@llnl.gov>

Reimplement rwlocks for Linux lock profiling/analysis. It turns out that the previous rwlock implementation worked well but did not integrate properly with the upstream kernel lock profiling/ analysis tools. This is a major problem since it would be awfully nice to be able to use the automatic lock checker and profiler. The problem is that the upstream lock tools use the pre-processor to create a lock class for each uniquely named locked. Since the rwsem was embedded in a wrapper structure the name was always the same. The effect was that we only ended up with one lock class for the entire SPL which caused the lock dependency checker to flag nearly everything as a possible deadlock. The solution was to directly map a krwlock to a Linux rwsem using a typedef there by eliminating the wrapper structure. This was not done initially because the rwsem implementation is specific to the arch. To fully implement the Solaris krwlock API using only the provided rwsem API is not possible. It can only be done by directly accessing some of the internal data member of the rwsem structure. For example, the Linux API provides a different function for dropping a reader vs writer lock. Whereas the Solaris API uses the same function and the caller does not pass in what type of lock it is. This means to properly drop the lock we need to determine if the lock is currently a reader or writer lock. Then we need to call the proper Linux API function. Unfortunately, there is no provided API for this so we must extracted this information directly from arch specific lock implementation. This is all do able, and what I did, but it does complicate things considerably. The good news is that in addition to the profiling benefits of this change. We may see performance improvements due to slightly reduced overhead when creating rwlocks and manipulating them. The only function I was forced to sacrafice was rw_owner() because this information is simply not stored anywhere in the rwsem. Luckily this appears not to be a commonly used function on Solaris, and it is my understanding it is mainly used for debugging anyway. In addition to the core rwlock changes, extensive updates were made to the rwlock regression tests. Each class of test was extended to provide more API coverage and to be more rigerous in checking for misbehavior. This is a pretty significant change and with that in mind I have been careful to validate it on several platforms before committing. The full SPLAT regression test suite was run numberous times on all of the following platforms. This includes various kernels ranging from 2.6.16 to 2.6.29. - SLES10 (ppc64) - SLES11 (x86_64) - CHAOS4.2 (x86_64) - RHEL5.3 (x86_64) - RHEL6 (x86_64) - FC11 (x86_64)

Update rwlocks to track owner to ensure correct semantics The behavior of RW_*_HELD was updated because it was not quite right. It is not sufficient to return non-zero when the lock is help, we must only do this when the current task in the holder. This means we need to track the lock owner which is not something tracked in a Linux semaphore. After some experimentation the solution I settled on was to embed the Linux semaphore at the start of a larger krwlock_t structure which includes the owner field. This maintains good performance and allows us to cleanly intergrate with the kernel lock analysis tools. My reasons: 1) By placing the Linux semaphore at the start of krwlock_t we can then simply cast krwlock_t to a rw_semaphore and pass that on to the linux kernel. This allows us to use '#defines so the preprocessor can do direct replacement of the Solaris primative with the linux equivilant. This is important because it then maintains the location information for each rw_* call point. 2) Additionally, by adding the owner to krwlock_t we can keep this needed extra information adjacent to the lock itself. This removes the need for a fancy lookup to get the owner which is optimal for performance. We can also leverage the existing spin lock in the semaphore to ensure owner is updated correctly. 3) All helper functions which do not need to strictly be implemented as a define to preserve location information can be done as a static inline function. 4) Adding the owner to krwlock_t allows us to remove all memory allocations done during lock initialization. This is good for all the obvious reasons, we do give up the ability to specific the lock name.

Reimplement rwlocks for Linux lock profiling/analysis. It turns out that the previous rwlock implementation worked well but did not integrate properly with the upstream kernel lock profiling/ analysis tools. This is a major problem since it would be awfully nice to be able to use the automatic lock checker and profiler. The problem is that the upstream lock tools use the pre-processor to create a lock class for each uniquely named locked. Since the rwsem was embedded in a wrapper structure the name was always the same. The effect was that we only ended up with one lock class for the entire SPL which caused the lock dependency checker to flag nearly everything as a possible deadlock. The solution was to directly map a krwlock to a Linux rwsem using a typedef there by eliminating the wrapper structure. This was not done initially because the rwsem implementation is specific to the arch. To fully implement the Solaris krwlock API using only the provided rwsem API is not possible. It can only be done by directly accessing some of the internal data member of the rwsem structure. For example, the Linux API provides a different function for dropping a reader vs writer lock. Whereas the Solaris API uses the same function and the caller does not pass in what type of lock it is. This means to properly drop the lock we need to determine if the lock is currently a reader or writer lock. Then we need to call the proper Linux API function. Unfortunately, there is no provided API for this so we must extracted this information directly from arch specific lock implementation. This is all do able, and what I did, but it does complicate things considerably. The good news is that in addition to the profiling benefits of this change. We may see performance improvements due to slightly reduced overhead when creating rwlocks and manipulating them. The only function I was forced to sacrafice was rw_owner() because this information is simply not stored anywhere in the rwsem. Luckily this appears not to be a commonly used function on Solaris, and it is my understanding it is mainly used for debugging anyway. In addition to the core rwlock changes, extensive updates were made to the rwlock regression tests. Each class of test was extended to provide more API coverage and to be more rigerous in checking for misbehavior. This is a pretty significant change and with that in mind I have been careful to validate it on several platforms before committing. The full SPLAT regression test suite was run numberous times on all of the following platforms. This includes various kernels ranging from 2.6.16 to 2.6.29. - SLES10 (ppc64) - SLES11 (x86_64) - CHAOS4.2 (x86_64) - RHEL5.3 (x86_64) - RHEL6 (x86_64) - FC11 (x86_64)

Update rwlocks to track owner to ensure correct semantics The behavior of RW_*_HELD was updated because it was not quite right. It is not sufficient to return non-zero when the lock is help, we must only do this when the current task in the holder. This means we need to track the lock owner which is not something tracked in a Linux semaphore. After some experimentation the solution I settled on was to embed the Linux semaphore at the start of a larger krwlock_t structure which includes the owner field. This maintains good performance and allows us to cleanly intergrate with the kernel lock analysis tools. My reasons: 1) By placing the Linux semaphore at the start of krwlock_t we can then simply cast krwlock_t to a rw_semaphore and pass that on to the linux kernel. This allows us to use '#defines so the preprocessor can do direct replacement of the Solaris primative with the linux equivilant. This is important because it then maintains the location information for each rw_* call point. 2) Additionally, by adding the owner to krwlock_t we can keep this needed extra information adjacent to the lock itself. This removes the need for a fancy lookup to get the owner which is optimal for performance. We can also leverage the existing spin lock in the semaphore to ensure owner is updated correctly. 3) All helper functions which do not need to strictly be implemented as a define to preserve location information can be done as a static inline function. 4) Adding the owner to krwlock_t allows us to remove all memory allocations done during lock initialization. This is good for all the obvious reasons, we do give up the ability to specific the lock name. The Linux profiling tools will stringify the lock name used in the code via the preprocessor and use that. Update rwlocks validated on: - SLES10 (ppc64) - SLES11 (x86_64) - CHAOS4.2 (x86_64) - RHEL5.3 (x86_64) - RHEL6 (x86_64) - FC11 (x86_64)
