The membarrier system call can be issued concurrently with do_exit if we have thread groups created with CLONE_VM but not CLONE_THREAD. Here is the scenario I have in mind: Two thread groups are created, A and B. Thread group B is created by issuing clone from group A with flag CLONE_VM set, but not CLONE_THREAD. Let's assume we have a single thread within each thread group (Thread A and Thread B). The AFAIU we can have: Userspace variables: int x = 0, y = 0; CPU 0 CPU 1 Thread A Thread B (in thread group A) (in thread group B) x = 1 barrier() y = 1 exit() exit_mm() current->mm = NULL; r1 = load y membarrier() skips CPU 0 (no IPI) because its current mm is NULL r2 = load x BUG_ON(r1 == 1 && r2 == 0) Signed-off-by: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20201020134715.13909-2-mathieu.desnoyers@xxxxxxxxxxxx --- include/linux/sched/mm.h | 5 +++++ kernel/exit.c | 16 +++++++++++++++- kernel/sched/membarrier.c | 12 ++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 32 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/include/linux/sched/mm.h b/include/linux/sched/mm.h index d5ece7a..a91fb3a 100644 --- a/include/linux/sched/mm.h +++ b/include/linux/sched/mm.h @@ -347,6 +347,8 @@ static inline void membarrier_mm_sync_core_before_usermode(struct mm_struct *mm) extern void membarrier_exec_mmap(struct mm_struct *mm); +extern void membarrier_update_current_mm(struct mm_struct *next_mm); + #else #ifdef CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_MEMBARRIER_CALLBACKS static inline void membarrier_arch_switch_mm(struct mm_struct *prev, @@ -361,6 +363,9 @@ static inline void membarrier_exec_mmap(struct mm_struct *mm) static inline void membarrier_mm_sync_core_before_usermode(struct mm_struct *mm) { } +static inline void membarrier_update_current_mm(struct mm_struct *next_mm) +{ +} #endif #endif /* _LINUX_SCHED_MM_H */ diff --git a/kernel/exit.c b/kernel/exit.c index 87a2d51..a3dd6b3 100644 --- a/kernel/exit.c +++ b/kernel/exit.c @@ -475,10 +475,24 @@ static void exit_mm(void) BUG_ON(mm != current->active_mm); /* more a memory barrier than a real lock */ task_lock(current); + /* + * When a thread stops operating on an address space, the loop + * in membarrier_private_expedited() may not observe that + * tsk->mm, and the loop in membarrier_global_expedited() may + * not observe a MEMBARRIER_STATE_GLOBAL_EXPEDITED + * rq->membarrier_state, so those would not issue an IPI. + * Membarrier requires a memory barrier after accessing + * user-space memory, before clearing tsk->mm or the + * rq->membarrier_state. + */ + smp_mb__after_spinlock(); + local_irq_disable(); current->mm = NULL; - mmap_read_unlock(mm); + membarrier_update_current_mm(NULL); enter_lazy_tlb(mm, current); + local_irq_enable(); task_unlock(current); + mmap_read_unlock(mm); mm_update_next_owner(mm); mmput(mm); if (test_thread_flag(TIF_MEMDIE)) diff --git a/kernel/sched/membarrier.c b/kernel/sched/membarrier.c index e23e74d..aac3292 100644 --- a/kernel/sched/membarrier.c +++ b/kernel/sched/membarrier.c @@ -76,6 +76,18 @@ void membarrier_exec_mmap(struct mm_struct *mm) this_cpu_write(runqueues.membarrier_state, 0); } +void membarrier_update_current_mm(struct mm_struct *next_mm) +{ + struct rq *rq = this_rq(); + int membarrier_state = 0; + + if (next_mm) + membarrier_state = atomic_read(&next_mm->membarrier_state); + if (READ_ONCE(rq->membarrier_state) == membarrier_state) + return; + WRITE_ONCE(rq->membarrier_state, membarrier_state); +} + static int membarrier_global_expedited(void) { int cpu;
