[PATCH 0/3] further BKL removal

[PATCH 0/3] further BKL removal

[Arnd Bergmann]

With the ioctl, block, tty, vfs and llseek series
on their way into linux-next, these three patches
are attacking the hardest remaining issues.

If we get these ready for 2.6.36, the kernel should
be almost usable with the BKL disabled. In all three
cases, I'm cheating a bit, because the BKL still
remains lurking in the dark corners of the three
subsystems (i810/i830 for drm, OSS for sound and
lockd for fs/locks.c).

[PATCH 1/3] drm: kill BKL from common code

[Arnd Bergmann]

This restricts the use of the big kernel lock to the i830 and i810
device drivers. The three remaining users in common code (open, ioctl
and release) get converted to a new mutex, the drm_global_mutex,
making the locking stricter than the big kernel lock.

This may have a performance impact, but only in those cases that
currently don't use DRM_UNLOCKED flag in the ioctl list and would
benefit from that anyway.

The reason why i810 and i830 cannot use drm_global_mutex in their
mmap functions is a lock-order inversion problem between the current
use of the BKL and mmap_sem in these drivers. Since the BKL has
release-on-sleep semantics, it's harmless but it would cause trouble
if we replace the BKL with a mutex.

Instead, these drivers get their own ioctl wrappers that take the
BKL around every ioctl call and then set their own handlers as
DRM_UNLOCKED.

How is this supposed to work in the context of sleeping ioctls, like
drm_lock?

I was assuming that no ioctl sleeps indefinitely, which is normally the
case. As I described in the changelog, all locked ioctls are serialized
with the drm_global_mutex, while they used to be only serialized when
not sleeping before.

I did not realize that DRM has mutexes that are held across ioctls.
To restore the old behavior, apply this patch:

index e2f70a5..9bf93bc 100644

 		if (signal_pending(current)) {
 			ret = -EINTR;

However, it would be better instead to mark the drm_lock and drm_unlock
ioctls as DRM_UNLOCKED so they are not called under drm_global_mutex to
start with, like this:

Ideally, all the ioctls should be marked as DRM_UNLOCKED and the path calling
ioctl under drm_global_mutex be removed, but that requires auditing of each
call by someone who understands the drm locking better than I do.

Apply only one of the two patches at a time, they are mutually exclusive.

[PATCH 2/3] Remove BKL from fs/locks.c

[Arnd Bergmann]

From: Matthew Wilcox <willy@linux.intel.com>

I've taken a patch originally written by Matthew Wilcox and
ported it to the current version. Unfortunately, the change
conflicts with the use of lockd, which still heavily uses
the big kernel lock.

As a workaround, I've made the behaviour configurable,
it either uses the BKL when it's enabled or a spinlock
when the BKL (and consequently nfs and lockd) are
disabled.

Original introduction from Willy:

   I've been promising to do this for about seven years now.

   It seems to work well enough, but I haven't run any serious stress
   tests on it.  This implementation uses one spinlock to protect both lock
   lists and all the i_flock chains.  It doesn't seem worth splitting up
   the locking any further.

   I had to move one memory allocation out from under the file_lock_lock.
   I hope I got that logic right.  I'm rather tempted to split out the
   find_conflict algorithm from that function into something that can be
   called separately for the FL_ACCESS case.

   I also have to drop and reacquire the file_lock_lock around the call
   to cond_resched().  This was done automatically for us before by the
   special BKL semantics.

   I had to change vfs_setlease() as it relied on the special BKL ability
   to recursively acquire the same lock.  The internal caller now calls
   __vfs_setlease and the exported interface acquires and releases the
   file_lock_lock around calling __vfs_setlease.

Defintively not something we want in mainline.  But keep poking
the nfs guys to sort the lockd mess out for real.

Yes, that was the idea. This is the last patch I need to run
all of my machines without the BKL, so I spent a few hours
looking at how to fix lockd. When I couldn't figure it out,
I decided to do an evil hack that happens to work, in order
to build pressure.

[PATCH 3/3] sound: push BKL into open functions

[Arnd Bergmann]

This moves the lock_kernel() call from soundcore_open
to the individual OSS device drivers, where we can deal
with it one driver at a time if needed, or just kill
off the drivers.

All core components in ALSA already provide
adequate locking in their open()-functions
and do not require the big kernel lock, so
there is no need to add the BKL there.

Re: [PATCH 3/3] sound: push BKL into open functions

[Arnd Bergmann]

This moves the lock_kernel() call from soundcore_open
to the individual OSS device drivers, where we can deal
with it one driver at a time if needed, or just kill
off the drivers.

All core components in ALSA already provide
adequate locking in their open()-functions
and do not require the big kernel lock, so
there is no need to add the BKL there.

Sorry, I had removed them and then forgot the git-add before
creating the emails. Originally, I had two patches, one for
pushing down the BKL into every sound driver (hence the goto)
and a second patch to remove the BKL again from all the native
alsa drivers. If you prefer, I can also give you the separate
patches, but I figured that since none of the ALSA drivers needs
the BKL, the combined patch would be better.

This is the corrected combined version.

Thanks.  I applied now to sound git tree (with a minor fix of
coding-style in sound/oss/au1550_ac97.c).

BTW, do you have an updated patch for native_ioctl conversion wrt

Thanks, applied now.

Now the rest is eliminating each lock_kernel() in sound/oss/*.c :)

For other files, I've used a script (see below) to do this, it probably
works with the OSS files as well, although I have not tried yet.

Of course, another option for OSS device drivers would be to
remove the entire driver ;). Either way, my feeling is that the
OSS drivers are not stopping anyone from building a kernel without
CONFIG_BKL once we have introduced that symbol and made the drivers
depend on it.
