Queued waiters use this to yield to the # preempted lock holder without continually sampling the lock word (which # would defeat the purpose of MCS queueing by bouncing the cache line). # # The problem is that yield_cpu can become stale. It can take some time to # be passed down the chain, and if any queued waiter gets preempted then # it will cease to propagate the yield_cpu to later waiters. # # This can result in yielding to a CPU that no longer holds the lock, # which is bad, but particularly if it is currently in H_CEDE (idle), # then it appears to be preempted and some hypervisors (PowerVM) can # cause very long H_CONFER latencies waiting for H_CEDE wakeup. This # results in latency spikes and hard lockups on oversubscribed # partitions with lock contention. # # This is a minimal fix. Before yielding to yield_cpu, sample the lock # word to confirm yield_cpu is still the owner, and bail out of it is not. # # Thanks to a bunch of people who reported this and tracked down the # exact problem using tracepoints and dispatch trace logs. # # Fixes: 28db61e207ea ("powerpc/qspinlock: allow propagation of yield CPU down the queue") # Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v6.2+ # Reported-by: Srikar Dronamraju <srikar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> # Reported-by: Laurent Dufour <ldufour@linux.ibm.com> # Reported-by: Shrikanth Hegde <sshegde@linux.vnet.ibm.com> # Debugged-by: "Nysal Jan K.A" <nysal@linux.ibm.com> # Signed-off-by: Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@gmail.com> # Tested-by: Shrikanth Hegde <sshegde@linux.vnet.ibm.com> # Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> # Link: https://msgid.link/20231016124305.139923-2-npiggin@gmail.com # < /opt/cross/kisskb/br-mipsel-o32-full-2016.08-613-ge98b4dd/bin/mipsel-linux-gcc --version # < /opt/cross/kisskb/br-mipsel-o32-full-2016.08-613-ge98b4dd/bin/mipsel-linux-ld --version # < git log --format=%s --max-count=1 f9bc9bbe8afdf83412728f0b464979a72a3b9ec2 # make -s -j 40 ARCH=mips O=/kisskb/build/powerpc-fixes_defconfig_mipsel-gcc5 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/br-mipsel-o32-full-2016.08-613-ge98b4dd/bin/mipsel-linux- defconfig Using /kisskb/src/arch/mips/configs/generic_defconfig as base Merging /kisskb/src/arch/mips/configs/generic/32r2.config Merging /kisskb/src/arch/mips/configs/generic/el.config Merging /kisskb/src/arch/mips/configs/generic/board-boston.config Merging /kisskb/src/arch/mips/configs/generic/board-marduk.config Merging /kisskb/src/arch/mips/configs/generic/board-ni169445.config Merging /kisskb/src/arch/mips/configs/generic/board-ocelot.config Merging /kisskb/src/arch/mips/configs/generic/board-ranchu.config Merging /kisskb/src/arch/mips/configs/generic/board-sead-3.config Merging /kisskb/src/arch/mips/configs/generic/board-virt.config Merging /kisskb/src/arch/mips/configs/generic/board-xilfpga.config # < make -s -j 40 ARCH=mips O=/kisskb/build/powerpc-fixes_defconfig_mipsel-gcc5 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/br-mipsel-o32-full-2016.08-613-ge98b4dd/bin/mipsel-linux- help # make -s -j 40 ARCH=mips O=/kisskb/build/powerpc-fixes_defconfig_mipsel-gcc5 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/br-mipsel-o32-full-2016.08-613-ge98b4dd/bin/mipsel-linux- olddefconfig # make -s -j 40 ARCH=mips O=/kisskb/build/powerpc-fixes_defconfig_mipsel-gcc5 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/br-mipsel-o32-full-2016.08-613-ge98b4dd/bin/mipsel-linux- Completed OK # rm -rf /kisskb/build/powerpc-fixes_defconfig_mipsel-gcc5 # Build took: 0:01:11.910525
