From: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@xxxxxxxx>
Injects EDEADLK conditions at pseudo-random interval, with exponential
backoff up to UINT_MAX (to ensure that every lock operation still
completes in a reasonable time).
This way we can test the wound slowpath even for ww mutex users where
contention is never expected, and the ww deadlock avoidance algorithm
is only needed for correctness against malicious userspace. An example
would be protecting kernel modesetting properties, which thanks to
single-threaded X isn't really expected to contend, ever.
I've looked into using the CONFIG_FAULT_INJECTION infrastructure, but
decided against it for two reasons:
- EDEADLK handling is mandatory for ww mutex users and should never
affect the outcome of a syscall. This is in contrast to -ENOMEM
injection. So fine configurability isn't required.
- The fault injection framework only allows to set a simple
probability for failure. Now the probability that a ww mutex acquire
stage with N locks will never complete (due to too many injected
EDEADLK backoffs) is zero. But the expected number of ww_mutex_lock
operations for the completely uncontended case would be O(exp(N)).
The per-acuiqire ctx exponential backoff solution choosen here only
results in O(log N) overhead due to injection and so O(log N * N)
lock operations. This way we can fail with high probability (and so
have good test coverage even for fancy backoff and lock acquisition
paths) without running into patalogical cases.
Note that EDEADLK will only ever be injected when we managed to
acquire the lock. This prevents any behaviour changes for users which
rely on the EALREADY semantics.
v2: Drop the cargo-culted __sched (I should read docs next time
around) and annotate the non-debug case with inline to prevent gcc
from doing something horrible.
v3: Rebase on top of Maarten's latest patches.
v4: Actually make this stuff compile, I've misplace the hunk in the
wrong #ifdef block.
v5: Simplify ww_mutex_deadlock_injection definition, and fix
lib/locking-selftest.c warnings. Fix lib/Kconfig.debug definition
to work correctly. (mlankhorst)
v6:
Do not inject -EDEADLK when ctx->acquired == 0, because
the _slow paths are merged now. (mlankhorst)
