@ -1929,16 +1929,46 @@ The Linux-kernel CPU-hotplug implementation has notifiers that are used
to allow the various kernel subsystems (including RCU) to respond
appropriately to a given CPU-hotplug operation. Most RCU operations may
be invoked from CPU-hotplug notifiers, including even synchronous
grace-period operations such as ``synchronize_rcu()`` and
``synchronize_rcu_expedited()``.
grace-period operations such as (``synchronize_rcu()`` and
``synchronize_rcu_expedited()``). However, these synchronous operations
do block and therefore cannot be invoked from notifiers that execute via
``stop_machine()``, specifically those between the ``CPUHP_AP_OFFLINE``
and ``CPUHP_AP_ONLINE`` states.
However, all-callback-wait operations such as ``rcu_barrier()`` are also
not supported, due to the fact that there are phases of CPU-hotplug
operations where the outgoing CPU's callbacks will not be invoked until
after the CPU-hotplug operation ends, which could also result in
deadlock. Furthermore, ``rcu_barrier()`` blocks CPU-hotplug operations
during its execution, which results in another type of deadlock when
invoked from a CPU-hotplug notifier.
In addition, all-callback-wait operations such as ``rcu_barrier()`` may
not be invoked from any CPU-hotplug notifier. This restriction is due
to the fact that there are phases of CPU-hotplug operations where the
outgoing CPU's callbacks will not be invoked until after the CPU-hotplug
operation ends, which could also result in deadlock. Furthermore,
``rcu_barrier()`` blocks CPU-hotplug operations during its execution,
which results in another type of deadlock when invoked from a CPU-hotplug
notifier.
Finally, RCU must avoid deadlocks due to interaction between hotplug,
timers and grace period processing. It does so by maintaining its own set
of books that duplicate the centrally maintained ``cpu_online_mask``,
and also by reporting quiescent states explicitly when a CPU goes
offline. This explicit reporting of quiescent states avoids any need
for the force-quiescent-state loop (FQS) to report quiescent states for
offline CPUs. However, as a debugging measure, the FQS loop does splat
if offline CPUs block an RCU grace period for too long.
An offline CPU's quiescent state will be reported either:
1. As the CPU goes offline using RCU's hotplug notifier (``rcu_report_dead()``).
2. When grace period initialization (``rcu_gp_init()``) detects a
race either with CPU offlining or with a task unblocking on a leaf
``rcu_node`` structure whose CPUs are all offline.
The CPU-online path (``rcu_cpu_starting()``) should never need to report
a quiescent state for an offline CPU. However, as a debugging measure,
it does emit a warning if a quiescent state was not already reported
for that CPU.
During the checking/modification of RCU's hotplug bookkeeping, the
corresponding CPU's leaf node lock is held. This avoids race conditions
between RCU's hotplug notifier hooks, the grace period initialization
code, and the FQS loop, all of which refer to or modify this bookkeeping.

One exception to this rule is when data is only ever added to
the linked data structure, and is never removed during any
time that readers might be accessing that structure. In such
cases, READ_ONCE() may be used in place of rcu_dereference()
and the read-side markers (rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock(),
for example) may be omitted.

for an example where the compiler can in fact deduce the exact
value of the pointer, and thus cause misordering.
- In the special case where data is added but is never removed
while readers are accessing the structure, READ_ONCE() may be used
instead of rcu_dereference(). In this case, use of READ_ONCE()
takes on the role of the lockless_dereference() primitive that
was removed in v4.15.
- You are only permitted to use rcu_dereference on pointer values.
The compiler simply knows too much about integral values to
trust it to carry dependencies through integer operations.

In such cases, one uses call_rcu() rather than synchronize_rcu().
The call_rcu() API is as follows::
void call_rcu(struct rcu_head * head,
void (*func)(struct rcu_head *head));
void call_rcu(struct rcu_head *head, rcu_callback_t func);
This function invokes func(head) after a grace period has elapsed.

asymmetric multiprocessors. The price of this reduced jitter
is that the overhead of call_rcu() increases and that some
workloads will incur significant increases in context-switch
rates.
This option offloads callback invocation from the set of CPUs
specified at boot time by the rcu_nocbs parameter. For each
such CPU, a kthread ("rcuox/N") will be created to invoke
callbacks, where the "N" is the CPU being offloaded, and where
the "p" for RCU-preempt (PREEMPTION kernels) and "s" for RCU-sched
(!PREEMPTION kernels). Nothing prevents this kthread from running
on the specified CPUs, but (1) the kthreads may be preempted
between each callback, and (2) affinity or cgroups can be used
to force the kthreads to run on whatever set of CPUs is desired.
the "x" is "p" for RCU-preempt (PREEMPTION kernels) and "s" for
RCU-sched (!PREEMPTION kernels). Nothing prevents this kthread
from running on the specified CPUs, but (1) the kthreads may be
preempted between each callback, and (2) affinity or cgroups can
be used to force the kthreads to run on whatever set of CPUs is
desired.
Say Y here if you want to help to debug reduced OS jitter.
Say Y here if you need reduced OS jitter, despite added overhead.
Say N here if you are unsure.

CONTROL DEPENDENCIES
====================
A major difficulty with control dependencies is that current compilers
do not support them. One purpose of this document is therefore to
help you prevent your compiler from breaking your code. However,
control dependencies also pose other challenges, which leads to the
second purpose of this document, namely to help you to avoid breaking
your own code, even in the absence of help from your compiler.
One such challenge is that control dependencies order only later stores.
Therefore, a load-load control dependency will not preserve ordering
unless a read memory barrier is provided. Consider the following code:
q = READ_ONCE(a);
if (q)
p = READ_ONCE(b);
This is not guaranteed to provide any ordering because some types of CPUs
are permitted to predict the result of the load from "b". This prediction
can cause other CPUs to see this load as having happened before the load
from "a". This means that an explicit read barrier is required, for example
as follows:
q = READ_ONCE(a);
if (q) {
smp_rmb();
p = READ_ONCE(b);
}
However, stores are not speculated. This means that ordering is
(usually) guaranteed for load-store control dependencies, as in the
following example:
q = READ_ONCE(a);
if (q)
WRITE_ONCE(b, 1);
Control dependencies can pair with each other and with other types
of ordering. But please note that neither the READ_ONCE() nor the
WRITE_ONCE() are optional. Without the READ_ONCE(), the compiler might
fuse the load from "a" with other loads. Without the WRITE_ONCE(),
the compiler might fuse the store to "b" with other stores. Worse yet,
the compiler might convert the store into a load and a check followed
by a store, and this compiler-generated load would not be ordered by
the control dependency.
Furthermore, if the compiler is able to prove that the value of variable
"a" is always non-zero, it would be well within its rights to optimize
the original example by eliminating the "if" statement as follows:
q = a;
b = 1; /* BUG: Compiler and CPU can both reorder!!! */
So don't leave out either the READ_ONCE() or the WRITE_ONCE().
In particular, although READ_ONCE() does force the compiler to emit a
load, it does *not* force the compiler to actually use the loaded value.
It is tempting to try use control dependencies to enforce ordering on
identical stores on both branches of the "if" statement as follows:
q = READ_ONCE(a);
if (q) {
barrier();
WRITE_ONCE(b, 1);
do_something();
} else {
barrier();
WRITE_ONCE(b, 1);
do_something_else();
}
Unfortunately, current compilers will transform this as follows at high
optimization levels:
q = READ_ONCE(a);
barrier();
WRITE_ONCE(b, 1); /* BUG: No ordering vs. load from a!!! */
if (q) {
/* WRITE_ONCE(b, 1); -- moved up, BUG!!! */
do_something();
} else {
/* WRITE_ONCE(b, 1); -- moved up, BUG!!! */
do_something_else();
}
Now there is no conditional between the load from "a" and the store to
"b", which means that the CPU is within its rights to reorder them: The
conditional is absolutely required, and must be present in the final
assembly code, after all of the compiler and link-time optimizations
have been applied. Therefore, if you need ordering in this example,
you must use explicit memory ordering, for example, smp_store_release():
q = READ_ONCE(a);
if (q) {
smp_store_release(&b, 1);
do_something();
} else {
smp_store_release(&b, 1);
do_something_else();
}
Without explicit memory ordering, control-dependency-based ordering is
guaranteed only when the stores differ, for example:
q = READ_ONCE(a);
if (q) {
WRITE_ONCE(b, 1);
do_something();
} else {
WRITE_ONCE(b, 2);
do_something_else();
}
The initial READ_ONCE() is still required to prevent the compiler from
knowing too much about the value of "a".
But please note that you need to be careful what you do with the local
variable "q", otherwise the compiler might be able to guess the value
and again remove the conditional branch that is absolutely required to
preserve ordering. For example:
q = READ_ONCE(a);
if (q % MAX) {
WRITE_ONCE(b, 1);
do_something();
} else {
WRITE_ONCE(b, 2);
do_something_else();
}
If MAX is compile-time defined to be 1, then the compiler knows that
(q % MAX) must be equal to zero, regardless of the value of "q".
The compiler is therefore within its rights to transform the above code
into the following:
q = READ_ONCE(a);
WRITE_ONCE(b, 2);
do_something_else();
Given this transformation, the CPU is not required to respect the ordering
between the load from variable "a" and the store to variable "b". It is
tempting to add a barrier(), but this does not help. The conditional
is gone, and the barrier won't bring it back. Therefore, if you need
to relying on control dependencies to produce this ordering, you should
make sure that MAX is greater than one, perhaps as follows:
q = READ_ONCE(a);
BUILD_BUG_ON(MAX <= 1); /* Order load from a with store to b. */
if (q % MAX) {
WRITE_ONCE(b, 1);
do_something();
} else {
WRITE_ONCE(b, 2);
do_something_else();
}
Please note once again that each leg of the "if" statement absolutely
must store different values to "b". As in previous examples, if the two
values were identical, the compiler could pull this store outside of the
"if" statement, destroying the control dependency's ordering properties.
You must also be careful avoid relying too much on boolean short-circuit
evaluation. Consider this example:
q = READ_ONCE(a);
if (q || 1 > 0)
WRITE_ONCE(b, 1);
Because the first condition cannot fault and the second condition is
always true, the compiler can transform this example as follows, again
destroying the control dependency's ordering:
q = READ_ONCE(a);
WRITE_ONCE(b, 1);
This is yet another example showing the importance of preventing the
compiler from out-guessing your code. Again, although READ_ONCE() really
does force the compiler to emit code for a given load, the compiler is
within its rights to discard the loaded value.
In addition, control dependencies apply only to the then-clause and
else-clause of the "if" statement in question. In particular, they do
not necessarily order the code following the entire "if" statement:
q = READ_ONCE(a);
if (q) {
WRITE_ONCE(b, 1);
} else {
WRITE_ONCE(b, 2);
}
WRITE_ONCE(c, 1); /* BUG: No ordering against the read from "a". */
It is tempting to argue that there in fact is ordering because the
compiler cannot reorder volatile accesses and also cannot reorder
the writes to "b" with the condition. Unfortunately for this line
of reasoning, the compiler might compile the two writes to "b" as
conditional-move instructions, as in this fanciful pseudo-assembly
language:
ld r1,a
cmp r1,$0
cmov,ne r4,$1
cmov,eq r4,$2
st r4,b
st $1,c
The control dependencies would then extend only to the pair of cmov
instructions and the store depending on them. This means that a weakly
ordered CPU would have no dependency of any sort between the load from
"a" and the store to "c". In short, control dependencies provide ordering
only to the stores in the then-clause and else-clause of the "if" statement
in question (including functions invoked by those two clauses), and not
to code following that "if" statement.
In summary:
(*) Control dependencies can order prior loads against later stores.
However, they do *not* guarantee any other sort of ordering:
Not prior loads against later loads, nor prior stores against
later anything. If you need these other forms of ordering, use
smp_load_acquire(), smp_store_release(), or, in the case of prior
stores and later loads, smp_mb().
(*) If both legs of the "if" statement contain identical stores to
the same variable, then you must explicitly order those stores,
either by preceding both of them with smp_mb() or by using
smp_store_release(). Please note that it is *not* sufficient to use
barrier() at beginning and end of each leg of the "if" statement
because, as shown by the example above, optimizing compilers can
destroy the control dependency while respecting the letter of the
barrier() law.
(*) Control dependencies require at least one run-time conditional
between the prior load and the subsequent store, and this
conditional must involve the prior load. If the compiler is able
to optimize the conditional away, it will have also optimized
away the ordering. Careful use of READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE()
can help to preserve the needed conditional.
(*) Control dependencies require that the compiler avoid reordering the
dependency into nonexistence. Careful use of READ_ONCE() or
atomic{,64}_read() can help to preserve your control dependency.
(*) Control dependencies apply only to the then-clause and else-clause
of the "if" statement containing the control dependency, including
any functions that these two clauses call. Control dependencies
do *not* apply to code beyond the end of that "if" statement.
(*) Control dependencies pair normally with other types of barriers.
(*) Control dependencies do *not* provide multicopy atomicity. If you
need all the CPUs to agree on the ordering of a given store against
all other accesses, use smp_mb().
(*) Compilers do not understand control dependencies. It is therefore
your job to ensure that they do not break your code.

This document contains brief definitions of LKMM-related terms. Like most
glossaries, it is not intended to be read front to back (except perhaps
as a way of confirming a diagnosis of OCD), but rather to be searched
for specific terms.
Address Dependency: When the address of a later memory access is computed
based on the value returned by an earlier load, an "address
dependency" extends from that load extending to the later access.
Address dependencies are quite common in RCU read-side critical
sections:
1 rcu_read_lock();
2 p = rcu_dereference(gp);
3 do_something(p->a);
4 rcu_read_unlock();
In this case, because the address of "p->a" on line 3 is computed
from the value returned by the rcu_dereference() on line 2, the
address dependency extends from that rcu_dereference() to that
"p->a". In rare cases, optimizing compilers can destroy address
dependencies. Please see Documentation/RCU/rcu_dereference.txt
for more information.
See also "Control Dependency" and "Data Dependency".
Acquire: With respect to a lock, acquiring that lock, for example,
using spin_lock(). With respect to a non-lock shared variable,
a special operation that includes a load and which orders that
load before later memory references running on that same CPU.
An example special acquire operation is smp_load_acquire(),
but atomic_read_acquire() and atomic_xchg_acquire() also include
acquire loads.
When an acquire load returns the value stored by a release store
to that same variable, then all operations preceding that store
happen before any operations following that load acquire.
See also "Relaxed" and "Release".
Coherence (co): When one CPU's store to a given variable overwrites
either the value from another CPU's store or some later value,
there is said to be a coherence link from the second CPU to
the first.
It is also possible to have a coherence link within a CPU, which
is a "coherence internal" (coi) link. The term "coherence
external" (coe) link is used when it is necessary to exclude
the coi case.
See also "From-reads" and "Reads-from".
Control Dependency: When a later store's execution depends on a test
of a value computed from a value returned by an earlier load,
a "control dependency" extends from that load to that store.
For example:
1 if (READ_ONCE(x))
2 WRITE_ONCE(y, 1);
Here, the control dependency extends from the READ_ONCE() on
line 1 to the WRITE_ONCE() on line 2. Control dependencies are
fragile, and can be easily destroyed by optimizing compilers.
Please see control-dependencies.txt for more information.
See also "Address Dependency" and "Data Dependency".
Cycle: Memory-barrier pairing is restricted to a pair of CPUs, as the
name suggests. And in a great many cases, a pair of CPUs is all
that is required. In other cases, the notion of pairing must be
extended to additional CPUs, and the result is called a "cycle".
In a cycle, each CPU's ordering interacts with that of the next:
CPU 0 CPU 1 CPU 2
WRITE_ONCE(x, 1); WRITE_ONCE(y, 1); WRITE_ONCE(z, 1);
smp_mb(); smp_mb(); smp_mb();
r0 = READ_ONCE(y); r1 = READ_ONCE(z); r2 = READ_ONCE(x);
CPU 0's smp_mb() interacts with that of CPU 1, which interacts
with that of CPU 2, which in turn interacts with that of CPU 0
to complete the cycle. Because of the smp_mb() calls between
each pair of memory accesses, the outcome where r0, r1, and r2
are all equal to zero is forbidden by LKMM.
See also "Pairing".
Data Dependency: When the data written by a later store is computed based
on the value returned by an earlier load, a "data dependency"
extends from that load to that later store. For example:
1 r1 = READ_ONCE(x);
2 WRITE_ONCE(y, r1 + 1);
In this case, the data dependency extends from the READ_ONCE()
on line 1 to the WRITE_ONCE() on line 2. Data dependencies are
fragile and can be easily destroyed by optimizing compilers.
Because optimizing compilers put a great deal of effort into
working out what values integer variables might have, this is
especially true in cases where the dependency is carried through
an integer.
See also "Address Dependency" and "Control Dependency".
From-Reads (fr): When one CPU's store to a given variable happened
too late to affect the value returned by another CPU's
load from that same variable, there is said to be a from-reads
link from the load to the store.
It is also possible to have a from-reads link within a CPU, which
is a "from-reads internal" (fri) link. The term "from-reads
external" (fre) link is used when it is necessary to exclude
the fri case.
See also "Coherence" and "Reads-from".
Fully Ordered: An operation such as smp_mb() that orders all of
its CPU's prior accesses with all of that CPU's subsequent
accesses, or a marked access such as atomic_add_return()
that orders all of its CPU's prior accesses, itself, and
all of its CPU's subsequent accesses.
Marked Access: An access to a variable that uses an special function or
macro such as "r1 = READ_ONCE(x)" or "smp_store_release(&a, 1)".
See also "Unmarked Access".
Pairing: "Memory-barrier pairing" reflects the fact that synchronizing
data between two CPUs requires that both CPUs their accesses.
Memory barriers thus tend to come in pairs, one executed by
one of the CPUs and the other by the other CPU. Of course,
pairing also occurs with other types of operations, so that a
smp_store_release() pairs with an smp_load_acquire() that reads
the value stored.
See also "Cycle".
Reads-From (rf): When one CPU's load returns the value stored by some other
CPU, there is said to be a reads-from link from the second
CPU's store to the first CPU's load. Reads-from links have the
nice property that time must advance from the store to the load,
which means that algorithms using reads-from links can use lighter
weight ordering and synchronization compared to algorithms using
coherence and from-reads links.
It is also possible to have a reads-from link within a CPU, which
is a "reads-from internal" (rfi) link. The term "reads-from
external" (rfe) link is used when it is necessary to exclude
the rfi case.
See also Coherence" and "From-reads".
Relaxed: A marked access that does not imply ordering, for example, a
READ_ONCE(), WRITE_ONCE(), a non-value-returning read-modify-write
operation, or a value-returning read-modify-write operation whose
name ends in "_relaxed".
See also "Acquire" and "Release".
Release: With respect to a lock, releasing that lock, for example,
using spin_unlock(). With respect to a non-lock shared variable,
a special operation that includes a store and which orders that
store after earlier memory references that ran on that same CPU.
An example special release store is smp_store_release(), but
atomic_set_release() and atomic_cmpxchg_release() also include
release stores.
See also "Acquire" and "Relaxed".
Unmarked Access: An access to a variable that uses normal C-language
syntax, for example, "a = b[2]";
See also "Marked Access".

@ -946,6 +946,23 @@ Limitations of the Linux-kernel memory model (LKMM) include:
carrying a dependency, then the compiler can break that dependency
by substituting a constant of that value.
Conversely, LKMM sometimes doesn't recognize that a particular
optimization is not allowed, and as a result, thinks that a
dependency is not present (because the optimization would break it).
The memory model misses some pretty obvious control dependencies
because of this limitation. A simple example is:
r1 = READ_ONCE(x);
if (r1 == 0)
smp_mb();
WRITE_ONCE(y, 1);
There is a control dependency from the READ_ONCE to the WRITE_ONCE,
even when r1 is nonzero, but LKMM doesn't realize this and thinks
that the write may execute before the read if r1 != 0. (Yes, that
doesn't make sense if you think about it, but the memory model's
intelligence is limited.)
2. Multiple access sizes for a single variable are not supported,
and neither are misaligned or partially overlapping accesses.

This document gives an overview of the categories of memory-ordering
operations provided by the Linux-kernel memory model (LKMM).
Categories of Ordering
======================
This section lists LKMM's three top-level categories of memory-ordering
operations in decreasing order of strength:
1. Barriers (also known as "fences"). A barrier orders some or
all of the CPU's prior operations against some or all of its
subsequent operations.
2. Ordered memory accesses. These operations order themselves
against some or all of the CPU's prior accesses or some or all
of the CPU's subsequent accesses, depending on the subcategory
of the operation.
3. Unordered accesses, as the name indicates, have no ordering
properties except to the extent that they interact with an
operation in the previous categories. This being the real world,
some of these "unordered" operations provide limited ordering
in some special situations.
Each of the above categories is described in more detail by one of the
following sections.
Barriers
========
Each of the following categories of barriers is described in its own
subsection below:
a. Full memory barriers.
b. Read-modify-write (RMW) ordering augmentation barriers.
c. Write memory barrier.
d. Read memory barrier.
e. Compiler barrier.
Note well that many of these primitives generate absolutely no code
in kernels built with CONFIG_SMP=n. Therefore, if you are writing
a device driver, which must correctly order accesses to a physical
device even in kernels built with CONFIG_SMP=n, please use the
ordering primitives provided for that purpose. For example, instead of
smp_mb(), use mb(). See the "Linux Kernel Device Drivers" book or the
https://lwn.net/Articles/698014/ article for more information.
Full Memory Barriers
--------------------
The Linux-kernel primitives that provide full ordering include:
o The smp_mb() full memory barrier.
o Value-returning RMW atomic operations whose names do not end in
_acquire, _release, or _relaxed.
o RCU's grace-period primitives.
First, the smp_mb() full memory barrier orders all of the CPU's prior
accesses against all subsequent accesses from the viewpoint of all CPUs.
In other words, all CPUs will agree that any earlier action taken
by that CPU happened before any later action taken by that same CPU.
For example, consider the following:
WRITE_ONCE(x, 1);
smp_mb(); // Order store to x before load from y.
r1 = READ_ONCE(y);
All CPUs will agree that the store to "x" happened before the load
from "y", as indicated by the comment. And yes, please comment your
memory-ordering primitives. It is surprisingly hard to remember their
purpose after even a few months.
Second, some RMW atomic operations provide full ordering. These
operations include value-returning RMW atomic operations (that is, those
with non-void return types) whose names do not end in _acquire, _release,
or _relaxed. Examples include atomic_add_return(), atomic_dec_and_test(),
cmpxchg(), and xchg(). Note that conditional RMW atomic operations such
as cmpxchg() are only guaranteed to provide ordering when they succeed.
When RMW atomic operations provide full ordering, they partition the
CPU's accesses into three groups:
1. All code that executed prior to the RMW atomic operation.
2. The RMW atomic operation itself.
3. All code that executed after the RMW atomic operation.
All CPUs will agree that any operation in a given partition happened
before any operation in a higher-numbered partition.
In contrast, non-value-returning RMW atomic operations (that is, those
with void return types) do not guarantee any ordering whatsoever. Nor do
value-returning RMW atomic operations whose names end in _relaxed.
Examples of the former include atomic_inc() and atomic_dec(),
while examples of the latter include atomic_cmpxchg_relaxed() and
atomic_xchg_relaxed(). Similarly, value-returning non-RMW atomic
operations such as atomic_read() do not guarantee full ordering, and
are covered in the later section on unordered operations.
Value-returning RMW atomic operations whose names end in _acquire or
_release provide limited ordering, and will be described later in this
document.
Finally, RCU's grace-period primitives provide full ordering. These
primitives include synchronize_rcu(), synchronize_rcu_expedited(),
synchronize_srcu() and so on. However, these primitives have orders
of magnitude greater overhead than smp_mb(), atomic_xchg(), and so on.
Furthermore, RCU's grace-period primitives can only be invoked in
sleepable contexts. Therefore, RCU's grace-period primitives are
typically instead used to provide ordering against RCU read-side critical
sections, as documented in their comment headers. But of course if you
need a synchronize_rcu() to interact with readers, it costs you nothing
to also rely on its additional full-memory-barrier semantics. Just please
carefully comment this, otherwise your future self will hate you.
RMW Ordering Augmentation Barriers
----------------------------------
As noted in the previous section, non-value-returning RMW operations
such as atomic_inc() and atomic_dec() guarantee no ordering whatsoever.
Nevertheless, a number of popular CPU families, including x86, provide
full ordering for these primitives. One way to obtain full ordering on
all architectures is to add a call to smp_mb():
WRITE_ONCE(x, 1);
atomic_inc(&my_counter);
smp_mb(); // Inefficient on x86!!!
r1 = READ_ONCE(y);
This works, but the added smp_mb() adds needless overhead for
x86, on which atomic_inc() provides full ordering all by itself.
The smp_mb__after_atomic() primitive can be used instead:
WRITE_ONCE(x, 1);
atomic_inc(&my_counter);
smp_mb__after_atomic(); // Order store to x before load from y.
r1 = READ_ONCE(y);
The smp_mb__after_atomic() primitive emits code only on CPUs whose
atomic_inc() implementations do not guarantee full ordering, thus
incurring no unnecessary overhead on x86. There are a number of
variations on the smp_mb__*() theme:
o smp_mb__before_atomic(), which provides full ordering prior
to an unordered RMW atomic operation.
o smp_mb__after_atomic(), which, as shown above, provides full
ordering subsequent to an unordered RMW atomic operation.
o smp_mb__after_spinlock(), which provides full ordering subsequent
to a successful spinlock acquisition. Note that spin_lock() is
always successful but spin_trylock() might not be.
o smp_mb__after_srcu_read_unlock(), which provides full ordering
subsequent to an srcu_read_unlock().
It is bad practice to place code between the smp__*() primitive and the
operation whose ordering that it is augmenting. The reason is that the
ordering of this intervening code will differ from one CPU architecture
to another.
Write Memory Barrier
--------------------
The Linux kernel's write memory barrier is smp_wmb(). If a CPU executes
the following code:
WRITE_ONCE(x, 1);
smp_wmb();
WRITE_ONCE(y, 1);
Then any given CPU will see the write to "x" has having happened before
the write to "y". However, you are usually better off using a release
store, as described in the "Release Operations" section below.
Note that smp_wmb() might fail to provide ordering for unmarked C-language
stores because profile-driven optimization could determine that the
value being overwritten is almost always equal to the new value. Such a
compiler might then reasonably decide to transform "x = 1" and "y = 1"
as follows:
if (x != 1)
x = 1;
smp_wmb(); // BUG: does not order the reads!!!
if (y != 1)
y = 1;
Therefore, if you need to use smp_wmb() with unmarked C-language writes,
you will need to make sure that none of the compilers used to build
the Linux kernel carry out this sort of transformation, both now and in
the future.
Read Memory Barrier
-------------------
The Linux kernel's read memory barrier is smp_rmb(). If a CPU executes
the following code:
r0 = READ_ONCE(y);
smp_rmb();
r1 = READ_ONCE(x);
Then any given CPU will see the read from "y" as having preceded the read from
"x". However, you are usually better off using an acquire load, as described
in the "Acquire Operations" section below.
Compiler Barrier
----------------
The Linux kernel's compiler barrier is barrier(). This primitive
prohibits compiler code-motion optimizations that might move memory
references across the point in the code containing the barrier(), but
does not constrain hardware memory ordering. For example, this can be
used to prevent to compiler from moving code across an infinite loop:
WRITE_ONCE(x, 1);
while (dontstop)
barrier();
r1 = READ_ONCE(y);
Without the barrier(), the compiler would be within its rights to move the
WRITE_ONCE() to follow the loop. This code motion could be problematic
in the case where an interrupt handler terminates the loop. Another way
to handle this is to use READ_ONCE() for the load of "dontstop".
Note that the barriers discussed previously use barrier() or its low-level
equivalent in their implementations.
Ordered Memory Accesses
=======================
The Linux kernel provides a wide variety of ordered memory accesses:
a. Release operations.
b. Acquire operations.
c. RCU read-side ordering.
d. Control dependencies.
Each of the above categories has its own section below.
Release Operations
------------------
Release operations include smp_store_release(), atomic_set_release(),
rcu_assign_pointer(), and value-returning RMW operations whose names
end in _release. These operations order their own store against all
of the CPU's prior memory accesses. Release operations often provide
improved readability and performance compared to explicit barriers.
For example, use of smp_store_release() saves a line compared to the
smp_wmb() example above:
WRITE_ONCE(x, 1);
smp_store_release(&y, 1);
More important, smp_store_release() makes it easier to connect up the
different pieces of the concurrent algorithm. The variable stored to
by the smp_store_release(), in this case "y", will normally be used in
an acquire operation in other parts of the concurrent algorithm.
To see the performance advantages, suppose that the above example read
from "x" instead of writing to it. Then an smp_wmb() could not guarantee
ordering, and an smp_mb() would be needed instead:
r1 = READ_ONCE(x);
smp_mb();
WRITE_ONCE(y, 1);
But smp_mb() often incurs much higher overhead than does
smp_store_release(), which still provides the needed ordering of "x"
against "y". On x86, the version using smp_store_release() might compile
to a simple load instruction followed by a simple store instruction.
In contrast, the smp_mb() compiles to an expensive instruction that
provides the needed ordering.
There is a wide variety of release operations:
o Store operations, including not only the aforementioned
smp_store_release(), but also atomic_set_release(), and
atomic_long_set_release().
o RCU's rcu_assign_pointer() operation. This is the same as
smp_store_release() except that: (1) It takes the pointer to
be assigned to instead of a pointer to that pointer, (2) It
is intended to be used in conjunction with rcu_dereference()
and similar rather than smp_load_acquire(), and (3) It checks
for an RCU-protected pointer in "sparse" runs.
o Value-returning RMW operations whose names end in _release,
such as atomic_fetch_add_release() and cmpxchg_release().
Note that release ordering is guaranteed only against the
memory-store portion of the RMW operation, and not against the
memory-load portion. Note also that conditional operations such
as cmpxchg_release() are only guaranteed to provide ordering
when they succeed.
As mentioned earlier, release operations are often paired with acquire
operations, which are the subject of the next section.
Acquire Operations
------------------
Acquire operations include smp_load_acquire(), atomic_read_acquire(),
and value-returning RMW operations whose names end in _acquire. These
operations order their own load against all of the CPU's subsequent
memory accesses. Acquire operations often provide improved performance
and readability compared to explicit barriers. For example, use of
smp_load_acquire() saves a line compared to the smp_rmb() example above:
r0 = smp_load_acquire(&y);
r1 = READ_ONCE(x);
As with smp_store_release(), this also makes it easier to connect
the different pieces of the concurrent algorithm by looking for the
smp_store_release() that stores to "y". In addition, smp_load_acquire()
improves upon smp_rmb() by ordering against subsequent stores as well
as against subsequent loads.
There are a couple of categories of acquire operations:
o Load operations, including not only the aforementioned
smp_load_acquire(), but also atomic_read_acquire(), and
atomic64_read_acquire().
o Value-returning RMW operations whose names end in _acquire,
such as atomic_xchg_acquire() and atomic_cmpxchg_acquire().
Note that acquire ordering is guaranteed only against the
memory-load portion of the RMW operation, and not against the
memory-store portion. Note also that conditional operations
such as atomic_cmpxchg_acquire() are only guaranteed to provide
ordering when they succeed.
Symmetry being what it is, acquire operations are often paired with the
release operations covered earlier. For example, consider the following
example, where task0() and task1() execute concurrently:
void task0(void)
{
WRITE_ONCE(x, 1);
smp_store_release(&y, 1);
}
void task1(void)
{
r0 = smp_load_acquire(&y);
r1 = READ_ONCE(x);
}
If "x" and "y" are both initially zero, then either r0's final value
will be zero or r1's final value will be one, thus providing the required
ordering.
RCU Read-Side Ordering
----------------------
This category includes read-side markers such as rcu_read_lock()
and rcu_read_unlock() as well as pointer-traversal primitives such as
rcu_dereference() and srcu_dereference().
Compared to locking primitives and RMW atomic operations, markers
for RCU read-side critical sections incur very low overhead because
they interact only with the corresponding grace-period primitives.
For example, the rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock() markers interact
with synchronize_rcu(), synchronize_rcu_expedited(), and call_rcu().
The way this works is that if a given call to synchronize_rcu() cannot
prove that it started before a given call to rcu_read_lock(), then
that synchronize_rcu() must block until the matching rcu_read_unlock()
is reached. For more information, please see the synchronize_rcu()
docbook header comment and the material in Documentation/RCU.
RCU's pointer-traversal primitives, including rcu_dereference() and
srcu_dereference(), order their load (which must be a pointer) against any
of the CPU's subsequent memory accesses whose address has been calculated
from the value loaded. There is said to be an *address dependency*
from the value returned by the rcu_dereference() or srcu_dereference()
to that subsequent memory access.
A call to rcu_dereference() for a given RCU-protected pointer is
usually paired with a call to a call to rcu_assign_pointer() for that
same pointer in much the same way that a call to smp_load_acquire() is
paired with a call to smp_store_release(). Calls to rcu_dereference()
and rcu_assign_pointer are often buried in other APIs, for example,
the RCU list API members defined in include/linux/rculist.h. For more
information, please see the docbook headers in that file, the most
recent LWN article on the RCU API (https://lwn.net/Articles/777036/),
and of course the material in Documentation/RCU.
If the pointer value is manipulated between the rcu_dereference()
that returned it and a later dereference(), please read
Documentation/RCU/rcu_dereference.rst. It can also be quite helpful to
review uses in the Linux kernel.
Control Dependencies
--------------------
A control dependency extends from a marked load (READ_ONCE() or stronger)
through an "if" condition to a marked store (WRITE_ONCE() or stronger)
that is executed only by one of the legs of that "if" statement.
Control dependencies are so named because they are mediated by
control-flow instructions such as comparisons and conditional branches.
In short, you can use a control dependency to enforce ordering between
an READ_ONCE() and a WRITE_ONCE() when there is an "if" condition
between them. The canonical example is as follows:
q = READ_ONCE(a);
if (q)
WRITE_ONCE(b, 1);
In this case, all CPUs would see the read from "a" as happening before
the write to "b".
However, control dependencies are easily destroyed by compiler
optimizations, so any use of control dependencies must take into account
all of the compilers used to build the Linux kernel. Please see the
"control-dependencies.txt" file for more information.
Unordered Accesses
==================
Each of these two categories of unordered accesses has a section below:
a. Unordered marked operations.
b. Unmarked C-language accesses.
Unordered Marked Operations
---------------------------
Unordered operations to different variables are just that, unordered.
However, if a group of CPUs apply these operations to a single variable,
all the CPUs will agree on the operation order. Of course, the ordering
of unordered marked accesses can also be constrained using the mechanisms
described earlier in this document.
These operations come in three categories:
o Marked writes, such as WRITE_ONCE() and atomic_set(). These
primitives required the compiler to emit the corresponding store
instructions in the expected execution order, thus suppressing
a number of destructive optimizations. However, they provide no
hardware ordering guarantees, and in fact many CPUs will happily
reorder marked writes with each other or with other unordered
operations, unless these operations are to the same variable.
o Marked reads, such as READ_ONCE() and atomic_read(). These
primitives required the compiler to emit the corresponding load
instructions in the expected execution order, thus suppressing
a number of destructive optimizations. However, they provide no
hardware ordering guarantees, and in fact many CPUs will happily
reorder marked reads with each other or with other unordered
operations, unless these operations are to the same variable.
o Unordered RMW atomic operations. These are non-value-returning
RMW atomic operations whose names do not end in _acquire or
_release, and also value-returning RMW operations whose names
end in _relaxed. Examples include atomic_add(), atomic_or(),
and atomic64_fetch_xor_relaxed(). These operations do carry
out the specified RMW operation atomically, for example, five
concurrent atomic_inc() operations applied to a given variable
will reliably increase the value of that variable by five.
However, many CPUs will happily reorder these operations with
each other or with other unordered operations.
This category of operations can be efficiently ordered using
smp_mb__before_atomic() and smp_mb__after_atomic(), as was
discussed in the "RMW Ordering Augmentation Barriers" section.
In short, these operations can be freely reordered unless they are all
operating on a single variable or unless they are constrained by one of
the operations called out earlier in this document.
Unmarked C-Language Accesses
----------------------------
Unmarked C-language accesses are normal variable accesses to normal
variables, that is, to variables that are not "volatile" and are not
C11 atomic variables. These operations provide no ordering guarantees,
and further do not guarantee "atomic" access. For example, the compiler
might (and sometimes does) split a plain C-language store into multiple
smaller stores. A load from that same variable running on some other
CPU while such a store is executing might see a value that is a mashup
of the old value and the new value.
Unmarked C-language accesses are unordered, and are also subject to
any number of compiler optimizations, many of which can break your
concurrent code. It is possible to used unmarked C-language accesses for
shared variables that are subject to concurrent access, but great care
is required on an ongoing basis. The compiler-constraining barrier()
primitive can be helpful, as can the various ordering primitives discussed
in this document. It nevertheless bears repeating that use of unmarked
C-language accesses requires careful attention to not just your code,
but to all the compilers that might be used to build it. Such compilers
might replace a series of loads with a single load, and might replace
a series of stores with a single store. Some compilers will even split
a single store into multiple smaller stores.
But there are some ways of using unmarked C-language accesses for shared
variables without such worries:
o Guard all accesses to a given variable by a particular lock,
so that there are never concurrent conflicting accesses to
that variable. (There are "conflicting accesses" when
(1) at least one of the concurrent accesses to a variable is an
unmarked C-language access and (2) when at least one of those
accesses is a write, whether marked or not.)
o As above, but using other synchronization primitives such
as reader-writer locks or sequence locks.
o Use locking or other means to ensure that all concurrent accesses
to a given variable are reads.
o Restrict use of a given variable to statistics or heuristics
where the occasional bogus value can be tolerated.
o Declare the accessed variables as C11 atomics.
https://lwn.net/Articles/691128/
o Declare the accessed variables as "volatile".
If you need to live more dangerously, please do take the time to
understand the compilers. One place to start is these two LWN
articles:
Who's afraid of a big bad optimizing compiler?
https://lwn.net/Articles/793253
Calibrating your fear of big bad optimizing compilers
https://lwn.net/Articles/799218
Used properly, unmarked C-language accesses can reduce overhead on
fastpaths. However, the price is great care and continual attention
to your compiler as new versions come out and as new optimizations
are enabled.
