We are pleased to announce the first release of the "lock dependency
correctness validator" kernel debugging feature, which can be downloaded
from:
http://redhat.com/~mingo/lockdep-patches/
The easiest way to try lockdep on a testbox is to apply the combo patch
to 2.6.17-rc4-mm3. The patch order is:
http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/testing/linux-2.6.17-rc4.tar.bz2
http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.17-rc4/2.6.17-rc4-mm3/2.6.17-rc4-mm3.bz2
http://redhat.com/~mingo/lockdep-patches/lockdep-combo.patch
do 'make oldconfig' and accept all the defaults for new config options -
reboot into the kernel and if everything goes well it should boot up
fine and you should have /proc/lockdep and /proc/lockdep_stats files.
Typically if the lock validator finds some problem it will print out
voluminous debug output that begins with "BUG: ..." and which syslog
output can be used by kernel developers to figure out the precise
locking scenario.
What does the lock validator do? It "observes" and maps all locking
rules as they occur dynamically (as triggered by the kernel's natural
use of spinlocks, rwlocks, mutexes and rwsems). Whenever the lock
validator subsystem detects a new locking scenario, it validates this
new rule against the existing set of rules. If this new rule is
consistent with the existing set of rules then the new rule is added
transparently and the kernel continues as normal. If the new rule could
create a deadlock scenario then this condition is printed out.
When determining validity of locking, all possible "deadlock scenarios"
are considered: assuming arbitrary number of CPUs, arbitrary irq context
and task context constellations, running arbitrary combinations of all
the existing locking scenarios. In a typical system this means millions
of separate scenarios. This is why we call it a "locking correctness"
validator - for all rules that are observed the lock validator proves it
with mathematical certainty that a deadlock could not occur (assuming
that the lock validator implementation itself is correct and its
internal data structures are not corrupted by some other kernel
subsystem). [see more details and conditionals of this statement in
include/linux/lockdep.h and Documentation/lockdep-design.txt]
Furthermore, this "all possible scenarios" property of the validator
also enables the finding of complex, highly unlikely multi-CPU
multi-context races via single single-context rules, increasing the
likelyhood of finding bugs drastically. In practical terms: the lock
validator already found a bug in the upstream kernel that could only
occur on systems with 3 or more CPUs, and which needed 3 very unlikely
code sequences to occur at once on the 3 CPUs. That bug was found and
reported on a single-CPU system (!). So in essence a race will be found
"piecemail-wise", triggering all the necessary components for the race,
without having to reproduce the race scenario itself! In its short
existence the lock validator found and reported many bugs before they
actually caused a real deadlock.
To further increase the efficiency of the validator, the mapping is not
per "lock instance", but per "lock-type". For example, all struct inode
objects in the kernel have inode->inotify_mutex. If there are 10,000
inodes cached, then there are 10,000 lock objects. But ->inotify_mutex
is a single "lock type", and all locking activities that occur against
->inotify_mutex are "unified" into this single lock-type. The advantage
of the lock-type approach is that all historical ->inotify_mutex uses
are mapped into a single (and as narrow as possible) set of locking
rules - regardless of how many different tasks or inode structures it
took to build this set of rules. The set of rules persist during the
lifetime of the kernel.
To see the rough magnitude of checking that the lock validator does,
here's a portion of /proc/lockdep_stats, fresh after bootup:
lock-types: 694 [max: 2048]
direct dependencies: 1598 [max: 8192]
indirect dependencies: 17896
all direct dependencies: 16206
dependency chains: 1910 [max: 8192]
in-hardirq chains: 17
in-softirq chains: 105
in-process chains: 1065
stack-trace entries: 38761 [max: 131072]
combined max dependencies: 2033928
hardirq-safe locks: 24
hardirq-unsafe locks: 176
softirq-safe locks: 53
softirq-unsafe locks: 137
irq-safe locks: 59
irq-unsafe locks: 176
The lock validator has observed 1598 actual single-thread locking
patterns, and has validated all possible 2033928 distinct locking
scenarios.
More details about the design of the lock validator can be found in
Documentation/lockdep-design.txt, which can also found at:
http://redhat.com/~mingo/lockdep-patches/lockdep-design.txt
The patchqueue consists of 61 patches, and the changes are quite
extensive:
215 files changed, 7693 insertions(+), 1247 deletions(-)
So be careful when testing.
We only plan to post the queue to lkml this time, we'll try to not flood
lkml with future releases. The finegrained patch-queue can be also seen
at:
http://redhat.com/~mingo/lockdep-patches/patches/
(the series file, with explanations about splitup categories of the
patches can be found attached below.)
The lock validator has been build-tested with allyesconfig, and booted
on x86 and x86_64. (Other architectures probably dont build/work yet.)
Comments, test-results, bug fixes, and improvements are welcome!

free_irq(), release_region() ... so when executing in irq context, push
the whole function into keventd.

From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
generic lock debugging:
- generalized lock debugging framework. For example, a bug in one lock
subsystem turns off debugging in all lock subsystems.
- got rid of the caller address passing from the mutex/rtmutex debugging
code: it caused way too much prototype hackery, and lockdep will give
the same information anyway.
- ability to do silent tests
- check lock freeing in vfree too.
- more finegrained debugging options, to allow distributions to
turn off more expensive debugging features.

From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
this switches x86_64 to use the stacktrace infrastructure when generating
backtrace printouts, if CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=y. (This patch will go away
once the dwarf2 stackframe parser in -mm goes upstream.)

From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
introduce local_irq_enable_in_hardirq() API. It is currently
aliased to local_irq_enable(), hence has no functional effects.
This API will be used by lockdep, but even without lockdep
this will better document places in the kernel where a hardirq
context enables hardirqs.

+ * Copyright (C) 2006 Red Hat, Inc., Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com>
+ *
+ * this code maps all the lock dependencies as they occur in a live kernel

+ *
+ * - lock inversion scenarios
+ * - circular lock dependencies
+ * - hardirq/softirq safe/unsafe locking bugs
+ *
+ * Bugs are reported even if the current locking scenario does not cause
+ * any deadlock at this point.
+ *
+ * I.e. if anytime in the past two locks were taken in a different order,
+ * even if it happened for another task, even if those were different
+ * locks (but of the same type as this lock), this code will detect it.
+ *
+ * Thanks to Arjan van de Ven for coming up with the initial idea of

+Runtime locking correctness validator
+=====================================
+
+started by Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com>
+additions by Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com>
+
+Lock-type
+---------
+
+The basic object the validator operates upon is the 'type' or 'class' of
+locks.
+
+A class of locks is a group of locks that are logically the same with
+respect to locking rules, even if the locks may have multiple (possibly
+tens of thousands of) instantiations. For example a lock in the inode
+struct is one class, while each inode has its own instantiation of that
+lock class.
+
+The validator tracks the 'state' of lock-types, and it tracks
+dependencies between different lock-types. The validator maintains a
+rolling proof that the state and the dependencies are correct.
+
+Unlike an lock instantiation, the lock-type itself never goes away: when
+a lock-type is used for the first time after bootup it gets registered,
+and all subsequent uses of that lock-type will be attached to this
+lock-type.
+
+State
+-----
+
+The validator tracks lock-type usage history into 5 separate state bits:
+
+- 'ever held in hardirq context' [ == hardirq-safe ]
+- 'ever held in softirq context' [ == softirq-safe ]
+- 'ever held with hardirqs enabled' [ == hardirq-unsafe ]
+- 'ever held with softirqs and hardirqs enabled' [ == softirq-unsafe ]
+
+- 'ever used' [ == !unused ]
+
+Single-lock state rules:
+------------------------
+
+A softirq-unsafe lock-type is automatically hardirq-unsafe as well. The
+following states are exclusive, and only one of them is allowed to be
+set for any lock-type:
+
+ <hardirq-safe> and <hardirq-unsafe>
+ <softirq-safe> and <softirq-unsafe>
+
+The validator detects and reports lock usage that violate these
+single-lock state rules.
+
+Multi-lock dependency rules:
+----------------------------
+
+The same lock-type must not be acquired twice, because this could lead
+to lock recursion deadlocks.
+
+Furthermore, two locks may not be taken in different order:
+
+ <L1> -> <L2>
+ <L2> -> <L1>
+
+because this could lead to lock inversion deadlocks. (The validator
+finds such dependencies in arbitrary complexity, i.e. there can be any
+other locking sequence between the acquire-lock operations, the
+validator will still track all dependencies between locks.)
+
+Furthermore, the following usage based lock dependencies are not allowed
+between any two lock-types:
+
+ <hardirq-safe> -> <hardirq-unsafe>
+ <softirq-safe> -> <softirq-unsafe>
+
+The first rule comes from the fact the a hardirq-safe lock could be
+taken by a hardirq context, interrupting a hardirq-unsafe lock - and
+thus could result in a lock inversion deadlock. Likewise, a softirq-safe
+lock could be taken by an softirq context, interrupting a softirq-unsafe
+lock.
+
+The above rules are enforced for any locking sequence that occurs in the
+kernel: when acquiring a new lock, the validator checks whether there is
+any rule violation between the new lock and any of the held locks.
+
+When a lock-type changes its state, the following aspects of the above
+dependency rules are enforced:
+
+- if a new hardirq-safe lock is discovered, we check whether it
+ took any hardirq-unsafe lock in the past.
+
+- if a new softirq-safe lock is discovered, we check whether it took
+ any softirq-unsafe lock in the past.
+
+- if a new hardirq-unsafe lock is discovered, we check whether any
+ hardirq-safe lock took it in the past.
+
+- if a new softirq-unsafe lock is discovered, we check whether any
+ softirq-safe lock took it in the past.
+
+(Again, we do these checks too on the basis that an interrupt context
+could interrupt _any_ of the irq-unsafe or hardirq-unsafe locks, which
+could lead to a lock inversion deadlock - even if that lock scenario did
+not trigger in practice yet.)
+
+Exception 1: Nested data types leading to nested locking
+--------------------------------------------------------
+
+There are a few cases where the Linux kernel acquires more than one
+instance of the same lock-type. Such cases typically happen when there
+is some sort of hierarchy within objects of the same type. In these
+cases there is an inherent "natural" ordering between the two objects
+(defined by the properties of the hierarchy), and the kernel grabs the
+locks in this fixed order on each of the objects.
+
+An example of such an object hieararchy that results in "nested locking"
+is that of a "whole disk" block-dev object and a "partition" block-dev
+object; the partition is "part of" the whole device and as long as one
+always takes the whole disk lock as a higher lock than the partition
+lock, the lock ordering is fully correct. The validator does not
+automatically detect this natural ordering, as the locking rule behind
+the ordering is not static.
+
+In order to teach the validator about this correct usage model, new
+versions of the various locking primitives were added that allow you to
+specify a "nesting level". An example call, for the block device mutex,
+looks like this:
+
+enum bdev_bd_mutex_lock_type
+{
+ BD_MUTEX_NORMAL,
+ BD_MUTEX_WHOLE,
+ BD_MUTEX_PARTITION
+};
+
+ mutex_lock_nested(&bdev->bd_contains->bd_mutex, BD_MUTEX_PARTITION);
+
+In this case the locking is done on a bdev object that is known to be a
+partition.
+
+The validator treats a lock that is taken in such a nested fasion as a
+separate (sub)class for the purposes of validation.
+
+Note: When changing code to use the _nested() primitives, be careful and
+check really thoroughly that the hiearchy is correctly mapped; otherwise
+you can get false positives or false negatives.
+
+Exception 2: Out of order unlocking
+-----------------------------------
+
+In the Linux kernel, locks are released in the opposite order in which
+they were taken, with a few exceptions. The validator is optimized for
+the common case, and in fact treats an "out of order" unlock as a
+locking bug. (the rationale is that the code is doing something rare,
+which can be a sign of a bug)
+
+There are some cases where releasing the locks out of order is
+unavoidable and dictated by the algorithm that is being implemented.
+Therefore, the validator can be told about this, using a special
+unlocking variant of the primitives. An example call looks like this:
+
+ spin_unlock_non_nested(&target->d_lock);
+
+Here the d_lock is released by the VFS in a different order than it was
+taken, as required by the d_move() algorithm.
+
+Note: the _non_nested() primitives are more expensive than the "normal"
+primitives, and in almost all cases it's trivial to use the natural
+unlock order. There are gains in doing this that are outside the realm
+of the validator regardless so it's strongly suggested to make sure that
+unlocking always happens in the natural order whenever reasonable,
+rather than blindly changing code to use the _non_nested() variants.
+
+Proof of 100% correctness:
+--------------------------
+
+The validator achieves perfect, mathematical 'closure' (proof of locking
+correctness) in the sense that for every simple, standalone single-task
+locking sequence that occured at least once during the lifetime of the
+kernel, the validator proves it with a 100% certainty that no
+combination and timing of these locking sequences can cause any type of
+lock related deadlock. [*]
+
+I.e. complex multi-CPU and multi-task locking scenarios do not have to
+occur in practice to prove a deadlock: only the simple 'component'
+locking chains have to occur at least once (anytime, in any
+task/context) for the validator to be able to prove correctness. (For
+example, complex deadlocks that would normally need more than 3 CPUs and
+a very unlikely constellation of tasks, irq-contexts and timings to
+occur, can be detected on a plain, lightly loaded single-CPU system as
+well!)
+
+This radically decreases the complexity of locking related QA of the
+kernel: what has to be done during QA is to trigger as many "simple"
+single-task locking dependencies in the kernel as possible, at least
+once, to prove locking correctness - instead of having to trigger every
+possible combination of locking interaction between CPUs, combined with
+every possible hardirq and softirq nesting scenario (which is impossible
+to do in practice).
+
+[*] assuming that the validator itself is 100% correct, and no other
+ part of the system corrupts the state of the validator in any way.
+ We also assume that all NMI/SMM paths [which could interrupt
+ even hardirq-disabled codepaths] are correct and do not interfere
+ with the validator. We also assume that the 64-bit 'chain hash'
+ value is unique for every lock-chain in the system. Also, lock
+ recursion must not be higher than 20.
+
+Performance:
+------------
+
+The above rules require _massive_ amounts of runtime checking. If we did
+that for every lock taken and for every irqs-enable event, it would
+render the system practically unusably slow. The complexity of checking
+is O(N^2), so even with just a few hundred lock-types we'd have to do
+tens of thousands of checks for every event.
+
+This problem is solved by checking any given 'locking scenario' (unique
+sequence of locks taken after each other) only once. A simple stack of
+held locks is maintained, and a lightweight 64-bit hash value is
+calculated, which hash is unique for every lock chain. The hash value,
+when the chain is validated for the first time, is then put into a hash
+table, which hash-table can be checked in a lockfree manner. If the
+locking chain occurs again later on, the hash table tells us that we
+dont have to validate the chain again.

(includes workaround for sk_receive_queue.lock, which is currently
treated globally by the lock validator, but which be switched to
per-address-family locking rules.)

workaround for special sb->s_umount locking rule.
s_umount gets held across a series of lock dropping and releasing
in prune_one_dentry(), so i changed the order, at the risk of
introducing a umount race. FIXME.
i think a better fix would be to do the unlocks as _non_nested in
prune_one_dentry(), and to do the up_read() here as
an up_read_non_nested() as well?

hm, this one could perhaps be a real bug. Dave: lockdep complains about
having observed:
anon_vma->lock => mm->mmap_sem
mm->mmap_sem => anon_vma->lock
locking sequences, in the cpufreq code. Is there some special runtime
behavior that still makes this safe, or is it a real bug?

there's one small detail to improve future lockdep printouts: please set
CONFIG_STACK_BACKTRACE_COLS=1, so that the backtrace is more readable.
(i'll change the code to force that when CONFIG_LOCKDEP is enabled)

Fixed in 2.6.17-rc1. notify_die() uses atomic_notifier_call_chain()
which uses RCU, not spinlocks.

I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed by the voluminous output of this checker.
Especially as (directly at least) cpufreq doesn't touch vma's, or mmap's.
The first stack trace it shows has us down in the bowels of cpu hotplug,
where we're taking the cpucontrol sem. The second stack trace shows
us in cpufreq_update_policy taking a per-cpu data->lock semaphore.
Now, I notice this is modprobe triggering this, and this *looks* like
we're loading two modules simultaneously (the first trace is from a
scaling driver like powernow-k8 or the like, whilst the second trace
is from cpufreq-stats).
How on earth did we get into this situation? module loading is supposed
to be serialised on the module_mutex no ?
It's been a while since a debug patch has sent me in search of paracetamol ;)

I seem to remember having issues with this - of the "not yet adequate"
type. But I forget what they were. Perhaps we have enough
flush_scheduled_work()s in there now.
We're glad to see you reassuming floppy.c maintenance.

But the driver does disable_irq(), so I'd say this was a false-positive.
And afaict this is not a timer handler - it's a poll_controller handler
(although maybe that get called from timer handler somewhere?)
That being said, doing disable_irq() from a poll_controller handler is
downright scary.
Anwyay, I'll tentatively mark this as a lockdep workaround, not a bugfix.

Returns a boolean.

But this returns a module*.
I'd suggest that __module_address() should do the same thing, from an API neatness
POV. Although perhaps that's mot very useful if we didn't take a ref on the returned
object (but module_text_address() doesn't either).
Also, the name's a bit misleading - it sounds like it returns the address
of a module or something. __module_any_address() would be better, perhaps?
Also, how come this doesn't need modlist_lock()?

Either the name of this thing is too generic, or we _make_ it generic, in
which case it's in the wrong header file.

If we expect people to use this then we'd best whack a comment over it.
Also, trace_irqflags.h doesn't seem an appropriate place for it to live.
I trust all the affected files are including trace_irqflags.h by some
means. Hopefully a _reliable_ means. No doubt I'm about to find out ;)

I can tell just looking at it that it'll break various builds.I assume that
things still happen to compile because you're presently using it in code
which those architectures don't presently compile.
But introducing a "generic" function invites others to start using it. And
they will, and they'll ship code which "works" but is broken, because they
only tested it on x86 and x86_64.
I'll queue the needed fixups - please check it.

erk. This adds a whole new layer of obfuscation on top of the existing
spinlock header files. You already need to run the preprocessor and
disassembler to even work out which flavour you're presently using.

This isn't an adequate description of the problem which this patch is
solving, IMO.
I _assume_ the validator is using the instruction pointer of the
spin_lock_init() site (or the file-n-line) as the lock's identifier. Or
something?

Is there a cleaner way of doing this?
Perhaps write a new helper function which initialises the spinlock, call
that? Rather than open-coding lockdep stuff?

I'd view that as something which should be fixed in mainline.

Perhaps the validator core's implementation of spin_lock_init() could look
at the address and work out if it's within the static storage sections.

OK, no code outside net/core/sock.c uses sock_lock_init().
Hopefully the same is true of out-of-tree code...

argh, you broke my kernel!
I'll whack some ifdefs in here so it's only known-broken if CONFIG_LOCKDEP.
Again, we'd need the real fix here.

I got a bunch of rejects here due to changes in git-net.patch. Please
verify the result. It could well be wrong (the changes in there are odd).

it's not really a workaround, it's a "separate the uses" thing. The real
problem is an inherent hierarchy between "disk" and "partition". Where
lots of code assumes you can first take the disk mutex, and then the
partition mutex, and never deadlock. This patch basically separates the
"get me the disk" versus "get me the partition" uses.

can you enable CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ALL ? that will give a more accurate
debug output...

the reporter doesn't have CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ALL enabled which gives
sometimes misleading backtraces (should lockdep just enable KALLSYMS_ALL
to get more useful bugreports?)
the problem is this, there are 2 scenarios in this bug:
One
---
store_scaling_governor takes policy->lock and then calls __cpufreq_set_policy
__cpufreq_set_policy calls __cpufreq_governor
__cpufreq_governor calls __cpufreq_driver_target via cpufreq_governor_performance
__cpufreq_driver_target calls lock_cpu_hotplug() (which takes the hotplug lock)
Two
---
cpufreq_stats_init lock_cpu_hotplug() and then calls cpufreq_stat_cpu_callback
cpufreq_stat_cpu_callback calls cpufreq_update_policy
cpufreq_update_policy takes the policy->lock
so this looks like a real honest AB-BA deadlock to me...

Here is bug with CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ALL enabled.

[ BUG: possible circular locking deadlock detected! ]

modprobe/1950 is trying to acquire lock:

but task is already holding lock:

which lock already depends on the new lock,
which could lead to circular deadlocks!

does this fix it?
type->name can be NULL legitimately; all places but one check for this
already. Fix this off-by-one.

hm, while most code (except the one above) is prepared for type->name
being NULL, it should not be NULL. Maybe an uninitialized lock slipped
through? Please try the patch below - it both protects against
type->name being NULL in this place, and will warn if it finds a NULL
lockname.

that used to be the case, but shouldnt happen anymore - with current
lockdep code we always pass some string to the lock init code. (that's
what lock-init-improvement.patch achieves in essence.) Worst-case the
string should be "old_style_spin_init" or "old_style_rw_init".
So Mike please try the other patch i sent - it also adds a debugging
check so that we can see where that NULL name comes from. It could be
something benign like me forgetting to pass in a string somewhere in the
initialization macros, but it could also be something more nasty like an
initialize-by-memset assumption.

In some situations well-defined and finite set of "nesting levels" does
not exist. For example, if one has a tree with per-node locking, and
algorithms acquire multiple node locks left-to-right in the tree
order. Reiser4 does this.
Can nested locking restrictions be weakened for certain lock types?
Nikita.

Got the warning. It failed testing, but booted.

The comment there is a bit deceptive.
The real problem is with the stuff ->open() uses. Short version of the
story:
* everything uses inode->i_bdev. Since we always pass an inode
allocated in block_dev.c along with bdev and its ->i_bdev points to that
bdev (i.e. at the constant offset from inode), it doesn't matter whether
we pass struct inode or struct block_device.
* many things use file->f_mode. Nobody modifies it.
* some things use file->f_flags. Used flags: O_EXCL and O_NDELAY.
Nobody modifies it.
* one (and only one) weird driver uses something else. That FPOS
is floppy.c and it needs more detailed description.
floppy.c is _weird_. In addition to normally used stuff, it checks for
opener having write permissions on file->f_dentry->d_inode. Then it
modifies file->private_data to store that information and uses it as
permission check in ->ioctl().
The rationale for that crock is a big load of bullshit. It goes like that:
We have priveleged ioctls and can't allow them unless you have
write permissions.
We can't ask to just open() the damn thing for write and let these
be done as usual (and check file->f_mode & FMODE_WRITE) because we might want
them on drive that has no disk in it or a write-protected one. Opening it
for write would try to check for disk being writable and screw itself.
Passing O_NDELAY would avoid that problem by skipping the checks
for disk being writable, present, etc., but we can't use that. Reasons
why we can't? We don't need no stinkin' reasons!
IOW, *all* of that could be avoided if floppy.c
* checked FMODE_WRITE for ability to do priveleged ioctls
* had those who want to issue such ioctls on drive that might have
no disk in it pass O_NDELAY|O_WRONLY (or O_NDELAY|O_RDWR) when they open
the fscker. Note that userland code always could have done that -
passing O_NDELAY|O_RDWR will do the right thing with any kernel.
That FPOS is the main reason why we pass struct file * there at all *and*
care to have ->f_dentry->d_inode in it (normally that wouldn't be even
looked at). Again, my prefered solution would be to pass 4-bit flags and
either inode or block_device. Flags being FMODE_READ, FMODE_WRITE,
O_EXCL and O_NDELAY.
The problem is moronic semantics for ioctl access control in floppy.c,
even though the sane API is _already_ present and always had been. In
the very same floppy_open()...

this isn't allow to be called from IRQ context, because it takes
nl_table_lock for read, but that is taken as
write_lock_bh(&nl_table_lock);
in
static void netlink_table_grab(void)
so without disabling interrupts; which would thus deadlock if this
read_lock-from-irq would hit.

but it's more complex than that, since we ARE in BH context.
The complexity comes from us holding &priv->lock, which is
used in hard irq context.
so the deadlock is like this:
cpu 0: user context cpu1: softirq context
netlink_table_grab takes nl_table_lock as take priv->lock in ipw_irq_tasklet
write_lock_bh, but leaves irqs enabled
hardirq comes in and the isr tries to take in ipw_rx, call wireless_send_event which
priv->lock but has to wait on cpu 1 tries to take nl_table_lock for read
but has to wait for cpu0
and... kaboom kabang deadlock :)

Could you please keep all the defaults in a separate -mm-only patch, so
it doesn't get merged?
There are also a number of dependencies on DEBUG_KERNEL missing, it
completely breaks the debugging menu.

This looks a little clearer this morning. I missed the fact that sys_init_module
isn't completely serialised, only the loading part. ->init routines can and will be
called in parallel.
I don't see where cpufreq_update_policy takes policy->lock though.
In my tree it just takes the per-cpu data->lock.
Time for more wake-up juice? or am I missing something obvious again?

That's indeed a possible deadlock situation -- what's the
cpufreq_update_policy() call needed for in cpufreq_stat_cpu_callback anyway?

Since __warn_once is likely to be true, and the condition is likely to
be false, wouldn't it be better to switch this around to:
if (unlikely((condition) && __warn_once)) {
So the && will fall out before having to check a global variable.
Only after the unlikely condition would the __warn_once be false.

How about __valid_module_address() so that it describes exactly what it
is doing. Or __module_address_valid().

Heh -- try "git annotate" or "git blame". I think you need git 1.3.x

Oh wow. Reading the commit message of this change rings alarm bells.
change c32b6b8e524d2c337767d312814484d9289550cf has this to say..
[PATCH] create and destroy cpufreq sysfs entries based on cpu notifiers
cpufreq entries in sysfs should only be populated when CPU is online state.
When we either boot with maxcpus=x and then boot the other cpus by echoing
to sysfs online file, these entries should be created and destroyed when
CPU_DEAD is notified. Same treatement as cache entries under sysfs.
We place the processor in the lowest frequency, so hw managed P-State
transitions can still work on the other threads to save power.
Primary goal was to just make these directories appear/disapper dynamically.
There is one in this patch i had to do, which i really dont like myself but
probably best if someone handling the cpufreq infrastructure could give
this code right treatment if this is not acceptable. I guess its probably
good for the first cut.
- Converting lock_cpu_hotplug()/unlock_cpu_hotplug() to disable/enable preempt.
The locking was smack in the middle of the notification path, when the
hotplug is already holding the lock. I tried another solution to avoid this
so avoid taking locks if we know we are from notification path. The solution
was getting very ugly and i decided this was probably good for this iteration
until someone who understands cpufreq could do a better job than me.
So, that last part pretty highlights that we knew about this problem, and meant to
come back and fix it later. Surprise surprise, no one came back and fixed it.

There was another iteration after his, and currently we keep track of
the owner in lock_cpu_hotplug()->__lock_cpu_hotplug(). So if we are in
same thread context we dont acquire locks.
if (lock_cpu_hotplug_owner != current) {
if (interruptible)
ret = down_interruptible(&cpucontrol);
else
down(&cpucontrol);
}
the lock and unlock kept track of the depth as well, so we know when to release
We didnt hear any better suggestions (from cpufreq folks), so we left it in
that state (atlease the same thread doenst try to take the lock twice)
that resulted in deadlocks earlier.

and qgit annotates source files in the background while you are viewing
them, and then you can click on lines to jump to the last commit that
touched it. It doesnt need latest GIT, qgit always did this (by itself).

I guess it is implied with the normal spin_lock. Since
spin_lock(&target->d_lock) and
spin_lock_nested(&target->d_lock, DENTRY_D_LOCK_NORMAL)
are equivalent. (DENTRY_D_LOCK_NORMAL == 0)
Probably this deserves a comment.

all the kernel symbol printouts make alot more sense if KALLSYMS_ALL

correct. This is the case for all the subtype enum definitions: 0 means
normal spinlock [rwlock, rwsem, mutex] API use.

yeah. Subtypes start from 1, as 0 is the basic type.
Lock types are keyed via static kernel addresses. This means that we can
use the lock address (for DEFINE_SPINLOCK) or the static key embedded in
spin_lock_init() as a key in 99% of the cases. The key [struct
lockdep_type_key, see include/linux/lockdep.h] occupies enough bytes (of
kernel static virtual memory) so that the keys remain automatically
unique. Right now MAX_LOKCDEP_SUBTYPES is 8, so the keys take at most 8
bytes. (To save some memory there's another detail: for static locks
(DEFINE_SPINLOCK ones) we use the lock address itself as the key.)

GTK? A typo, I suppose.
QGit is a git GUI viewer built on Qt/C++ (that I hope will be added to
the git.git tree soon).

It's both a timer handler and a poll_controller handler:
- if the interrupt handler causes a system overload (gig e without irq
mitigation...), then the nic disables the irq on the device and waits
one tick and handles the interrupts from a timer. This is nv_do_nic_poll().
- nv_do_nic_poll is also called from the poll_controller handler.
I'll try to remove the disable_irq() calls from the poll_controller
handler, but probably not before the week-end.

Can we please kill this recursive locking hack in the cpu hotplug code
in 2.6.18/soon? It's papering over the real problem, and I worry that
if it's allowed to sit there, other users will start to take
"advantage" of it. Perhaps, at the very least, cpufreq could be made
to handle this itself instead of polluting the core code...

Fix (and document!) the ordering of lock acquisitions in cpufreq?

It does work, thanks. But doesn't this add a possibility of missing

Hi Ingo,
Not sure if you missed this request or didn't think it mattered. But I
just tried out the difference between the two to see what gcc would do
to a simple function compiling with -O2.
Here's my code:
----- with the current WARN_ON_ONCE ----
#define unlikely(x) __builtin_expect(!!(x), 0)
#define WARN_ON_ONCE(condition) \
({ \
static int __warn_once = 1; \
int __ret = 0; \
\
if (__warn_once && unlikely((condition))) { \
__warn_once = 0; \
WARN_ON(1); \
__ret = 1; \
} \
__ret; \
})
int warn (int x)
{
WARN_ON_ONCE(x==1);
return x+1;
}
----- with the version I suggest. ----
#define unlikely(x) __builtin_expect(!!(x), 0)
#define WARN_ON_ONCE(condition) \
({ \
static int __warn_once = 1; \
int __ret = 0; \
\
if (unlikely((condition)) && __warn_once) { \
__warn_once = 0; \
WARN_ON(1); \
__ret = 1; \
} \
__ret; \
})
int warn(int x)
{
WARN_ON_ONCE(x==1);
return x+1;
}
-------
Compiling these two I get this:
current warn.o:

Disassembly of section .data:
As you can see, because the whole thing is unlikely, the first condition
is expected to fail. With the current WARN_ON logic, that means that
the __warn_once is expected to fail, but that's not the case. So on a
normal system where the WARN_ON_ONCE condition would never happen, you
are always branching. So simply reversing the order to test the
condition before testing the __warn_once variable should improve cache
performance.
Below is my recommended patch.

I disagree with this; "condition" can be a relatively complex thing,
such as a function call. doing the cheaper (and consistent!) test first
will be better. __warn_once will be branch predicted correctly ALWAYS,
except the exact ONE time you turn hit the backtrace. So it's really
really cheap to test, and if the WARN_ON_ONCE is triggering a lot after
the first time, you now would have a flapping first condition (which
means lots of branch mispredicts) while the original code has a perfect
one-check-predicted-exit scenario.

Wrong! It's not better, because it is pretty much ALWAYS TRUE! So even
if you have branch prediction you will call the condition regardless!

Who cares? If the WARN_ON_ONCE _is_ triggered a bunch of times, that
means the kernel is broken. The WARN_ON is about checking for validity,
and the condition should never trigger on a proper setup. The ONCE part
is to keep the users logs from getting full and killing performance with
printk. And even so. If you have 100 instances of WARN_ON_ONCE in the
kernel, only one at time would probably trigger, so you save on the
other 99. Your idea is to optimize the broken kernel while punishing
the working one.
The analysis wasn't only about the code, but also about the use of
WARN_ON_ONCE. The condition should _not_ be too complex and slow since
the WARN_ON_ONCE is just a check, and not something that should slow the
system down too much.
One other thing that wasn't mentioned. The __warn_once variable is
global and not setup as a read_mostly (which maybe it should). Because
now it can be placed in the same cache line as some global variable that
is modified a lot, so every time you test __warn_once you need to do a
cache coherency with other CPUS, thus bringing down the performance
further.

This is unlikely. cpu0 should not receive ipw2200 interrupt since the
interrupt is disabled until HERE (see below).

Well, this is not 100% if when the card fires two consecutive
interrupts. Though unlikely, it's better to protect early than seeing
some "weird" bugs one day. I proposed attached patch. If you can help to
test, that will be appreciated (I cannot see the lockdep warning on my
box somehow).
Thanks,

indeed. I originally avoided taking that lock due to recursion worries -
but in fact we use this only in sections that initialize a lock - hence
no recursion problems.
i fixed this and renamed the function to is_module_address() :)

f_owner locking rules are per-filesystem: some of them have this lock
irq-safe [because they use it in irq-context generated SIGIOs], some of
them have it irq-unsafe [because they dont generate SIGIOs in irq
context]. The lock validator meshes them together and produces a false
positive. The workaround changed all uses of f_owner.lock to be
irq-safe.
> This patch is a bit of a show-stopper. How hard-n-bad is the real
> fix?
the real fix would be to correctly map the 'key' of the f_owner.lock to
the filesystem. I.e. to embedd a "lockdep_type_key s_fown_key" in
'struct file_system_type', and to use that key when initializing
f_own.lock.
the practical problem is that the initialization site of f_owner.lock
does not know about which filesystem this file will belong to.
there might be another way though: the only non-core user of f_own.lock
is CIFS, and that use of f_own.lock seems unnecessary - it does not
change any fowner state, and its justification for taking that lock
seems rather vague as well:
* GlobalSMBSesLock protects:
* list operations on tcp and SMB session lists and tCon lists
* f_owner.lock protects certain per file struct operations
maybe CIFS or VFS people could comment?
that way you could remove the following patch from -mm:
lock-validator-fown-locking-workaround.patch
and add the patch below. (the fcntl.c portion of the above patch is
meanwhile moot)

this patch should be moot meanwhile. Earlier versions of the lock
validator produced false positives for certain read-locking constructs.
i have undone the patch:
lock-validator-sk_callback_lock-workaround.patch
and there doesnt seem to be any false positives popping up. Please dont
remove it from -mm yet, i'll test this some more and will do the removal
in the lock validator queue refactoring, ok?

ok, i've improved the comment in trace_irqflags.h.

seems like the most practical place for it. Previously we had no central
include file for irq-flags APIs (they used to be included from
asm/system.h and other random per-arch places) - trace_irqflags.h has
become the central file now. Should i rename it to irqflags.h perhaps,
to not tie it to tracing? We have some deprecated irq-flags ops in
interrupt.h, maybe this all belongs there. (although i think it's
cleaner to have linux/include/irqflags.h and include it from
interrupt.h)

The RAM space costs are estimated in the bootup info printout:
... MAX_LOCKDEP_SUBTYPES: 8
... MAX_LOCK_DEPTH: 30
... MAX_LOCKDEP_KEYS: 2048
... TYPEHASH_SIZE: 1024
... MAX_LOCKDEP_ENTRIES: 8192
... MAX_LOCKDEP_CHAINS: 8192
... CHAINHASH_SIZE: 4096
memory used by lock dependency info: 696 kB
per task-struct memory footprint: 1200 bytes
Plus every lock now embedds the lock_map structure which is 10 pointers.
That is the biggest direct dynamic RAM cost.
There are also a few embedded keys in .data but they are small.
The .text overhead mostly comes from the subsystem itself - which is
around 20K of .text. The callbacks are not inlined most of the time -
there are about 200 of them right now, which should be another +1-2K of
.text cost.
The runtime cycle cost is significant if CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCKDEP [lock
validator self-consistency checks] is enabled - then we take a global
lock from every lock operation which kills scalability.
If DEBUG_LOCKDEP is disabled then it's OK - smaller than DEBUG_SLAB. In
this case we have the lock-stack maintainance overhead, the irq-trace
callbacks and a lockless hash-lookup per lock operation. All of that
overhead is O(1) and lockless so it shouldnt change fundamental
characteristics anywhere.

yes, we can do that too - but that would have an effect to non-lockdep
kernels too.
Also, the initialization of the 'port' seems a bit twisted here, already
initialized and not-yet-initialized ports can be passed in to
uard_add_one_port(). So i did not want to touch the structure of the
code - hence the open-coded solution.

yeah. I got bitten by this (read: pulled hair for hours) when converting
the slab spinlocks to rtmutexes in the -rt tree.

yeah, but there are two cases: places where we want to 'unify' array
locks into a single type, and places where we want to treat them
separately. The case where we 'unify' is the more common one: locks
embedded into hash-tables for example. So i went for annotating the ones
that are rarer. There are 2 right now: scheduler, hrtimers, with the
hrtimers one going away in the high-res-timers implementation. (we
unified the hrtimers locks into a per-CPU lock) (there's also a kgdb
annotation for -mm)
perhaps the naming should be clearer? I had it named
spin_lock_init_standalone() originally, then cleaned it up to be
spin_lock_init_static(). Maybe the original name is better?

That's a fundamental problem of DECLARE_COMPLETION() done on the kernel
stack - it does build-time initialization with no opportunity to inject
any runtime logic. (which lockdep would need. Maybe i missed some clever
way to add a runtime callback into the initialization? [*])
Btw., there is no danger from missing the initialization of a wait
structure: lockdep will detect "uninitialized" on-stack locks and will
complain about it and turn itself off. [this happened a few times during
development - that's how those init_completion() calls got added]
But at a minimum these initializations need to become lockdep-specific
key-reinits - otherwise there will be impact to non-lockdep kernels too.
Ingo
[*] the only solution i can see is to introduce
DECLARE_COMPLETION_ONSTACK(), which could call a function with &wait
passed in, where that function would return with a structure. The macro
magic would resolve to something like:
struct completion wait = lockdep_init_completion(&wait);
and thus the structure would be initialized. But this method cannot be
used for static scope uses of DECLARE_COMPLETION, because it's not a
constant initializer. So we'd definitely have to make a distinction in
terms of _ONSTACK(). Is there really no compiler feature that could help
us out here?

this op is only intended to be used only by the lock debugging
infrastructure. So it should be renamed - but i fail to find a good name
for it. (it's used quite frequently within the lock debugging code, at
60+ places) Maybe INTERNAL_WARN_ON()? [that makes it sound special
enough.] DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON() might work too.

hm. This is where a "term of art" is needed. What is lockdep's internal
term for locks-of-a-different-type? It should have such a term.
"class" would be a good term, although terribly overused. Using that as an
example, spin_lock_init_standalone_class()? ug.

You want spin_lock_init_singleton().

ok, here's some more info (i'll add this to the irq-flags-tracing core
patch):
the "irq state tracing" feature "traces" hardirq and softirq state, in
that it gives interested subsystems an opportunity to be notified of
every hardirqs-off/hardirqs-on, softirqs-off/softirqs-on event that
happens in the kernel.
CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT is needed for CONFIG_PROVE_SPIN_LOCKING
and CONFIG_PROVE_RW_LOCKING to be offered by the generic lock debugging
code. Otherwise only CONFIG_PROVE_MUTEX_LOCKING and
CONFIG_PROVE_RWSEM_LOCKING will be offered on an architecture - these
are locking APIs that are not used in IRQ context. (the one exception
for rwsems is worked around)
Right now the only interested subsystem is the lock validator, but
things like RTLinux, ADEOS, the -rt tree and the latency tracer would
certainly be interested in managing irq-flags state too. (I did not add
any expansive (and probably expensive) notifier mechanism yet, before
someone actually tries to mix multiple users of this infrastructure and
comes up with the right abstraction.)
architecture support for this is certainly not in the "trivial"
category, because lots of lowlevel assembly code deal with irq-flags
state changes. But an architecture can be irq-flags-tracing enabled in a
rather straightforward and risk-free manner.
Architectures that want to support this need to do a couple of
code-organizational changes first:
- move their irq-flags manipulation code from their asm/system.h header
to asm/irqflags.h
- rename local_irq_disable()/etc to raw_local_irq_disable()/etc. so that
the linux/irqflags.h code can inject callbacks and can construct the
real local_irq_disable()/etc APIs.
- add and enable TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT in their arch level Kconfig file
and then a couple of functional changes are needed as well to implement
irq-flags-tracing support:
- in lowlevel entry code add (build-conditional) calls to the
trace_hardirqs_off()/trace_hardirqs_on() functions. The lock validator
closely guards whether the 'real' irq-flags matches the 'virtual'
irq-flags state, and complains loudly (and turns itself off) if the
two do not match. Usually most of the time for arch support for
irq-flags-tracing is spent in this state: look at the lockdep
complaint, try to figure out the assembly code we did not cover yet,
fix and repeat. Once the system has booted up and works without a
lockdep complaint in the irq-flags-tracing functions arch support is
complete.
- if the architecture has non-maskable interrupts then those need to be
excluded from the irq-tracing [and lock validation] mechanism via
lockdep_off()/lockdep_on().
in general there is no risk from having an incomplete irq-flags-tracing
implementation in an architecture: lockdep will detect that and will
turn itself off. I.e. the lock validator will still be reliable. There
should be no crashes due to irq-tracing bugs. (except if the assembly
changes break other code by modifying conditions or registers that
shouldnt be)

agreed. I think the API we started using in latest -mm
(lockdep_init_key()) is the cleaner approach - that also makes it
trivially sure that lockdep doesnt impact non-lockdep code. I'll fix the
current lockdep_init_key() shortcomings and i'll get rid of the
*_init_key() APIs.

hehe ;)
singleton wouldnt be enough here as we dont want just one instance of
this lock type: we want separate types for each array entry. I.e. we
dont want to unify the lock types (as the common spin_lock_init() call
suggests), we want to split them along their static addresses.
singleton initialization is what spin_lock_init() itself accomplishes:
the first call to a given spin_lock_init() will register a 'lock type'
structure, and all subsequent calls to spin_lock_init() will find this
type registered already. (keyed by the lockdep-type-key embedded in the
spin_lock_init() macro)
so - spin_lock_init_split_type() might be better i think and expresses
the purpose (to split away this type from the other lock types
initialized here).
Or we could simply get rid of this static-variables special-case and
embedd a lock_type_key in the runqueue and use
spin_lock_init_key(&rq->rq_lock_key)? That would unify the 'splitting'
of types for static and dynamic locks. (at a minimal cost of .data) Hm?

i have solved this problem in current -mm by making more advanced
versions of lock debugging (allocation/exit checks, validator) depend on
more basic lock debugging options. All the basic lock debugging options
have a DEBUG_KERNEL dependency, which thus gets inherited by the other
options as well.

ok, done. (Btw., there's tons of other Kconfig code though that uses the

Well it has a debug_locks_off() in there, so DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON() seems right.

actually ... 'class' might be an even better term than 'type', mainly
because type is even more overloaded in this context than class. "Q:
What type does this lock have?" The natural answer: "it's a spinlock".
so i'm strongly considering the renaming of 'lock type' to 'lock class'
and push that through all the APIs (and documentation). (i.e. we'd have
'subclasses' of locks, not 'subtypes'.)
then we could do the annotations (where the call-site heuristics get the
class wrong and either do false splits or dont do a split) via:
spin_lock_set_class(&lock, &class_key)
rwlock_set_class(&rwlock, &class_key)
mutex_set_class(&mutex, &class_key)
rwsem_set_class(&rwsem, &class_key)
[And for class-internal nesting, we'd have subclass nesting levels.]
hm?

The new syntax was added later, so everything that was converted uses the
basic syntax and is still copied around a lot (where it's probably also
doesn't help that it's not properly documented yet). I'm still planing to
go through this and convert most of them...

I'm pleased to announce the first release of the "Syslet" kernel feature
and kernel subsystem, which provides generic asynchrous system call
support:
http://redhat.com/~mingo/syslet-patches/
Syslets are small, simple, lightweight programs (consisting of
system-calls, 'atoms') that the kernel can execute autonomously (and,
not the least, asynchronously), without having to exit back into
user-space. Syslets can be freely constructed and submitted by any
unprivileged user-space context - and they have access to all the
resources (and only those resources) that the original context has
access to.
because the proof of the pudding is eating it, here are the performance
results from async-test.c which does open()+read()+close() of 1000 small
random files (smaller is better):
synchronous IO | Syslets:
--------------------------------------------
uncached: 45.8 seconds | 34.2 seconds ( +33.9% )
cached: 31.6 msecs | 26.5 msecs ( +19.2% )
("uncached" results were done via "echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches".
The default IO scheduler was the deadline scheduler, the test was run on
ext3, using a single PATA IDE disk.)
So syslets, in this particular workload, are a nice speedup /both/ in
the uncached and in the cached case. (note that i used only a single
disk, so the level of parallelism in the hardware is quite limited.)
the testcode can be found at:
http://redhat.com/~mingo/syslet-patches/async-test-0.1.tar.gz
The boring details:
Syslets consist of 'syslet atoms', where each atom represents a single
system-call. These atoms can be chained to each other: serially, in
branches or in loops. The return value of an executed atom is checked
against the condition flags. So an atom can specify 'exit on nonzero' or
'loop until non-negative' kind of constructs.
Syslet atoms fundamentally execute only system calls, thus to be able to
manipulate user-space variables from syslets i've added a simple special
system call: sys_umem_add(ptr, val). This can be used to increase or
decrease the user-space variable (and to get the result), or to simply
read out the variable (if 'val' is 0).
So a single syslet (submitted and executed via a single system call) can
be arbitrarily complex. For example it can be like this:
--------------------
| accept() |-----> [ stop if returns negative ]
--------------------
|
V
-------------------------------
| setsockopt(TCP_NODELAY) |-----> [ stop if returns negative ]
-------------------------------
|
v
--------------------
| read() |<---------
-------------------- | [ loop while positive ]
| | |
| ---------------------
|
-----------------------------------------
| decrease and read user space variable |
----------------------------------------- A
| |
-------[ loop back to accept() if positive ]------
(you can find a VFS example and a hello.c example in the user-space
testcode.)
A syslet is executed opportunistically: i.e. the syslet subsystem
assumes that the syslet will not block, and it will switch to a
cachemiss kernel thread from the scheduler. This means that even a
single-atom syslet (i.e. a pure system call) is very close in
performance to a pure system call. The syslet NULL-overhead in the
cached case is roughly 10% of the SYSENTER NULL-syscall overhead. This
means that two atoms are a win already, even in the cached case.
When a 'cachemiss' occurs, i.e. if we hit schedule() and are about to
consider other threads, the syslet subsystem picks up a 'cachemiss
thread' and switches the current task's user-space context over to the
cachemiss thread, and makes the cachemiss thread available. The original
thread (which now becomes a 'busy' cachemiss thread) continues to block.
This means that user-space will still be executed without stopping -
even if user-space is single-threaded.
if the submitting user-space context /knows/ that a system call will
block, it can request immediate 'cachemiss' via the SYSLET_ASYNC flag.
This would be used if for example an O_DIRECT file is read() or
write()n.
likewise, if user-space knows (or expects) that a system call takes alot
of CPU time even in the cached case, and it wants to offload it to
another asynchronous context, it can request that via the SYSLET_ASYNC
flag too.
completions of asynchronous syslets are done via a user-space ringbuffer
that the kernel fills and user-space clears. Waiting is done via the
sys_async_wait() system call. Completion can be supressed on a per-atom
basis via the SYSLET_NO_COMPLETE flag, for atoms that include some
implicit notification mechanism. (such as sys_kill(), etc.)
As it might be obvious to some of you, the syslet subsystem takes many
ideas and experience from my Tux in-kernel webserver :) The syslet code
originates from a heavy rewrite of the Tux-atom and the Tux-cachemiss
infrastructure.
Open issues:
- the 'TID' of the 'head' thread currently varies depending on which
thread is running the user-space context.
- signal support is not fully thought through - probably the head
should be getting all of them - the cachemiss threads are not really
interested in executing signal handlers.
- sys_fork() and sys_async_exec() should be filtered out from the
syscalls that are allowed - first one only makes sense with ptregs,
second one is a nice kernel recursion thing :) I didnt want to
duplicate the sys_call_table though - maybe others have a better
idea.
See more details in Documentation/syslet-design.txt. The patchset is
against v2.6.20, but should apply to the -git head as well.
Thanks to Zach Brown for the idea to drive cachemisses via the
scheduler. Thanks to Arjan van de Ven for early review feedback.
Comments, suggestions, reports are welcome!

this adds the data structures used by the syslet / async system calls
infrastructure.
This is used only if CONFIG_ASYNC_SUPPORT is enabled.

+ * This code implements asynchronous syscalls via 'syslets'.
+ *
+ * Syslets consist of a set of 'syslet atoms' which are residing

+ * attached to them. These atoms can be linked to each other via
+ * pointers. Besides the fundamental ability to execute system
+ * calls, syslet atoms can also implement branches, loops and
+ * arithmetics.
+ *
+ * Thus syslets can be used to build small autonomous programs that
+ * the kernel can execute purely from kernel-space, without having
+ * to return to any user-space context. Syslets can be run by any
+ * unprivileged user-space application - they are executed safely
+ * by the kernel.

+Syslets / asynchronous system calls
+===================================
+
+started by Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com>
+
+Goal:
+-----
+
+The goal of the syslet subsystem is to allow user-space to execute
+arbitrary system calls asynchronously. It does so by allowing user-space
+to execute "syslets" which are small scriptlets that the kernel can execute
+both securely and asynchronously without having to exit to user-space.
+
+the core syslet concepts are:
+
+The Syslet Atom:
+----------------
+
+The syslet atom is a small, fixed-size (44 bytes on 32-bit) piece of
+user-space memory, which is the basic unit of execution within the syslet
+framework. A syslet represents a single system-call and its arguments.
+In addition it also has condition flags attached to it that allows the
+construction of larger programs (syslets) from these atoms.
+
+Arguments to the system call are implemented via pointers to arguments.
+This not only increases the flexibility of syslet atoms (multiple syslets
+can share the same variable for example), but is also an optimization:
+copy_uatom() will only fetch syscall parameters up until the point it
+meets the first NULL pointer. 50% of all syscalls have 2 or less
+parameters (and 90% of all syscalls have 4 or less parameters).
+
+ [ Note: since the argument array is at the end of the atom, and the
+ kernel will not touch any argument beyond the final NULL one, atoms
+ might be packed more tightly. (the only special case exception to
+ this rule would be SKIP_TO_NEXT_ON_STOP atoms, where the kernel will
+ jump a full syslet_uatom number of bytes.) ]
+
+The Syslet:
+-----------
+
+A syslet is a program, represented by a graph of syslet atoms. The
+syslet atoms are chained to each other either via the atom->next pointer,
+or via the SYSLET_SKIP_TO_NEXT_ON_STOP flag.
+
+Running Syslets:
+----------------
+
+Syslets can be run via the sys_async_exec() system call, which takes
+the first atom of the syslet as an argument. The kernel does not need
+to be told about the other atoms - it will fetch them on the fly as
+execution goes forward.
+
+A syslet might either be executed 'cached', or it might generate a
+'cachemiss'.
+
+'Cached' syslet execution means that the whole syslet was executed
+without blocking. The system-call returns the submitted atom's address
+in this case.
+
+If a syslet blocks while the kernel executes a system-call embedded in
+one of its atoms, the kernel will keep working on that syscall in
+parallel, but it immediately returns to user-space with a NULL pointer,
+so the submitting task can submit other syslets.
+
+Completion of asynchronous syslets:
+-----------------------------------
+
+Completion of asynchronous syslets is done via the 'completion ring',
+which is a ringbuffer of syslet atom pointers user user-space memory,
+provided by user-space in the sys_async_register() syscall. The
+kernel fills in the ringbuffer starting at index 0, and user-space
+must clear out these pointers. Once the kernel reaches the end of
+the ring it wraps back to index 0. The kernel will not overwrite
+non-NULL pointers (but will return an error), user-space has to
+make sure it completes all events it asked for.
+
+Waiting for completions:
+------------------------
+
+Syslet completions can be waited for via the sys_async_wait()
+system call - which takes the number of events it should wait for as
+a parameter. This system call will also return if the number of
+pending events goes down to zero.
+
+Sample Hello World syslet code:
+
+--------------------------->
+/*
+ * Set up a syslet atom:
+ */
+static void
+init_atom(struct syslet_uatom *atom, int nr,
+ void *arg_ptr0, void *arg_ptr1, void *arg_ptr2,
+ void *arg_ptr3, void *arg_ptr4, void *arg_ptr5,
+ void *ret_ptr, unsigned long flags, struct syslet_uatom *next)
+{
+ atom->nr = nr;
+ atom->arg_ptr[0] = arg_ptr0;
+ atom->arg_ptr[1] = arg_ptr1;
+ atom->arg_ptr[2] = arg_ptr2;
+ atom->arg_ptr[3] = arg_ptr3;
+ atom->arg_ptr[4] = arg_ptr4;
+ atom->arg_ptr[5] = arg_ptr5;
+ atom->ret_ptr = ret_ptr;
+ atom->flags = flags;
+ atom->next = next;
+}
+
+int main(int argc, char *argv[])
+{
+ unsigned long int fd_out = 1; /* standard output */
+ char *buf = "Hello Syslet World!\n";
+ unsigned long size = strlen(buf);
+ struct syslet_uatom atom, *done;
+
+ async_head_init();
+
+ /*
+ * Simple syslet consisting of a single atom:
+ */
+ init_atom(&atom, __NR_sys_write, &fd_out, &buf, &size,
+ NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, SYSLET_ASYNC, NULL);
+ done = sys_async_exec(&atom);
+ if (!done) {
+ sys_async_wait(1);
+ if (completion_ring[curr_ring_idx] == &atom) {
+ completion_ring[curr_ring_idx] = NULL;
+ printf("completed an async syslet atom!\n");
+ }
+ } else {
+ printf("completed an cached syslet atom!\n");
+ }

add the create_async_thread() way of creating kernel threads:
these threads first execute a kernel function and when they
return from it they execute user-space.
An architecture must implement this interface before it can turn
CONFIG_ASYNC_SUPPORT on.

Also: FPU state (especially important with the FPU and SSE memory copy
variants), segment register bases on x86-64, interaction with set_fs()...
There is no easy way of getting around the full thread context switch and
its associated overhead (mucking around in CR0 is one of the more expensive
bits of the context switch code path, and at the very least, setting the FPU
not present is mandatory). I have looked into exactly this approach, and
it's only cheaper if the code is incomplete. Linux's native threads are
pretty damned good.

sys_setuid/gid/etc need to be synchronous only and not occur
while other async syscalls are running in parallel to meet current kernel
assumptions.
sys_exec and other security boundaries must be synchronous only
and not allow async "spill over" (consider setuid async binary patching)

What are the semantics of async sys_async_wait and async sys_async ?

Cheaper in time or in memory? Iow, would you be able to queue up as many
threads as syslets?

It's actually more likely a lot more efficient to let the system call
itself do the sanity checking. That allows the common system calls (that
*don't* need to even check) to just not do anything at all, instead of
having some complex logic in the common system call execution trying to
figure out for each system call whether it is ok or not.
Ie, we could just add to "do_fork()" (which is where all of the
vfork/clone/fork cases end up) a simple case like
err = wait_async_context();
if (err)
return err;
or
if (in_async_context())
return -EINVAL;
or similar. We need that "async_context()" function anyway for the other
cases where we can't do other things concurrently, like changing the UID.
I would suggest that "wait_async_context()" would do:
- if weare *in* an async context, return an error. We cannot wait for
ourselves!
- if we are the "real thread", wait for all async contexts to go away
(and since we are the real thread, no new ones will be created, so this
is not going to be an infinite wait)
The new thing would be that wait_async_context() would possibly return
-ERESTARTSYS (signal while an async context was executing), so any system
call that does this would possibly return EINTR. Which "fork()" hasn't
historically done. But if you have async events active, some operations
likely cannot be done (setuid() and execve() comes to mind), so you really
do need something like this.
And obviously it would only affect any program that actually would _use_
any of the suggested new interfaces, so it's not like a new error return
would break anything old.

He probably would need some generalization of Andrea's seccomp work.
Perhaps using bitmaps? For paranoia I would suggest to white list, not black list

basically arbitrary notification interfaces are supported. For example
if you add a sys_kill() call as the last syslet atom then this will
notify any waiter in sigwait().
or if you want to select(), just do it in the fds that you are
interested in, and the write that the syslet does triggers select()
completion.
but the fastest one will be by using syslets: to just check the
notification ring pointer in user-space, and then call into
sys_async_wait() if the ring is empty.
I just noticed a small bug here: sys_async_wait() should also take the
ring index userspace checked as a second parameter, and fix up the
number of events it waits for with the delta between the ring index the
kernel maintains and the ring index user-space has. The patch below
fixes this bug.

these should probably be taken out of the 'async syscall table', along
with fork and the async syscalls themselves.

i've tested sys_exec() and it seems to work, but i might have missed
some corner-cases. (And what you raise is not academic, it might even
make sense to do it, in the vfork() way.)

yeah. Also, create_module() perhaps. I'm starting to lean towards an
async_syscall_table[]. At which point we could reduce the max syslet
parameter count to 4, and do those few 5 and 6 parameter syscalls (of
which only splice() and futex() truly matter i suspect) via wrappers.
This would fit a syslet atom into 32 bytes on x86. Hm?

what i've implemented in my tree is sys_async_call_table[] which is a
copy of sys_call_table[] with certain entries modified (by architecture
level code, not by kernel/async.c) to sys_ni_syscall(). It's up to the
architecture to decide which syscalls are allowed.
but i could use a bitmap too - whatever linear construct. [ I'm not sure
there's much connection to seccomp - seccomp uses a NULL terminated
whitelist - while syslets would use most of the entries (and would not
want to have the overhead of checking a blacklist). ]

agreed - i'll fix this. But i can see no big conceptual issue here -
these resources are all attached to the user context, and that doesnt
change upon an 'async context-switch'. So it's "only" a matter of
properly separating the user execution context from the kernel execution
context. The hardest bit was getting the ptregs details right - the
FPU/SSE state is pretty much async already (in the hardware too) and
isnt even touched by any of these codepaths.

Good work, Ingo.
I have not received first mail with announcement yet, so I will place
my thoughts here if you do not mind.
First one is per-thread data like TID. What about TLS related kernel
data (is non-exec stack property stored in TLS block or in kernel)?
Should it be copied with regs too (or better introduce new clone flag,
which would force that info copy)?
Btw, does SSE?/MMX?/call-it-yourself really saved on context switch?
As far as I can see no syscalls (and kernel at all) use that registers.
Another one is more global AIO question - while this approach IMHO
outperforms micro-thread design (Zach and Linus created really good
starting points, but they too have fundamental limiting factor), it
still has a problem - syscall blocks and the same thread thus is not
allowed to continue execution and fill the pipe - so what if system
issues thousands of requests and there are only tens of working thread
at most. What Tux did, as far as I recall, (and some other similar
state machines do :) was to break blocking syscall issues and return
to the next execution entity (next syslet or atom). Is it possible to
extend exactly this state machine and interface to allow that (so that
some other state machine implementations would not continue its life :)?

An issue with sys_async_wait():
is is possible that events_left will be setup too late so that all
events are already ready and thus sys_async_wait() can wait forever
(or until next $sys_async_wait are ready)?

This is confusing. Why the return code of the previous syslet atom?
Wouldn't it be more clear if the flag was for the current tasklet?
Worse, what is the previous atom? Imagine some case with a loop:
A
|
B<--.
| |
C---'
What will be the previous atom of B here? It can be either A or C,
but their return values can be different and incompatible, so what
flag should B set?

Might rename this to SYSLET_SKIP_NEXT_ON_STOP too then.

Why do you need to have an extra memory indirection per parameter in
copy_uatom()? It also forces you to have parameters pointed-to, to be
"long" (or pointers), instead of their natural POSIX type (like fd being
"int" for example). Also, you need to have array pointers (think about a
"char buf[];" passed to an async read(2)) to be saved into a pointer
variable, and pass the pointer of the latter to the async system. Same for
all structures (ie. stat(2) "struct stat"). Let them be real argouments
and add a nparams argoument to the structure:
struct syslet_atom {
unsigned long flags;
unsigned int nr;
unsigned int nparams;
long __user *ret_ptr;
struct syslet_uatom __user *next;
unsigned long args[6];
};
I can understand that chaining syscalls requires variable sharing, but the
majority of the parameters passed to syscalls are just direct ones.
Maybe a smart method that allows you to know if a parameter is a direct
one or a pointer to one? An "unsigned int pmap" where bit N is 1 if param
N is an indirection? Hmm?

Sigh, I really dislike shared userspace/kernel stuff, when we're
transfering pointers to userspace. Did you actually bench it against a:
int async_wait(struct syslet_uatom **r, int n);
I can fully understand sharing userspace buffers with the kernel, if we're
talking about KB transferd during a block or net I/O DMA operation, but
for transfering a pointer? Behind each pointer transfer(4/8 bytes) there
is a whole syscall execution, that makes the 4/8 bytes tranfers have a
relative cost of 0.01% *maybe*. Different case is a O_DIRECT read of 16KB
of data, where in that case the memory transfer has a relative cost
compared to the syscall, that can be pretty high. The syscall saving
argument is moot too, because syscall are cheap, and if there's a lot of
async traffic, you'll be fetching lots of completions to keep you dispatch
loop pretty busy for a while.
And the API is *certainly* cleaner.

Yes, that's definitely better. Let's have the policy about weather a
syscall is or is not async-enabled, inside the syscall itself. Simplify
things a lot.

hm, this one should already work in the current version, because

hm, i dont know OpenVMS - but googled around a bit for 'VMS
asynchronous' and it gave me this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asynchronous_system_trap
is AST what you mean? From a quick read AST seems to be a signal
mechanism a bit like Unix signals, extended to kernel-space as well -
while syslets are a different 'safe execution engine' kind of thing
centered around the execution of system calls.

What about the busy_async_threads list becoming a hash/rb_tree indexed by
syslet_atom ptr. A cancel would lookup the thread and send a signal (of
course, signal handling of the async threads should be set properly)?

yes. Try to use them in real programs, and you'll see that most of the
time the variable an atom wants to access should also be accessed by
other atoms. For example a socket file descriptor - one atom opens it,
another one reads from it, a third one closes it. By having the
parameters in the atoms we'd have to copy the fd to two other places.
but i see your point: i actually had it like that in my earlier
versions, only changed it to an indirect method later on, when writing
more complex syslets. And, surprisingly, performance of atom handling
/improved/ on both Intel and AMD CPUs when i added indirection, because
the indirection enables the 'tail NULL' optimization. (which wasnt the
goal of indirection, it was just a side-effect)

this wasnt a big problem while coding syslets. I'd also not expect
application writers having to do these things on the syscall level -
this is a system interface after all. But you do have a point.

adding such things tends to slow down atom parsing.
there's another reason as well: i wanted syslets to be like
'instructions' - i.e. not self-modifying. If the fd parameter is
embedded in the syslet then every syslet has to be replicated
note that chaining does not necessarily require variable sharing: a
sys_umem_add() atom could be used to modify the next syslet's ->fd
parameter. So for example
sys_open() -> returns 'fd'
sys_umem_add(&atom1->fd) <= atom1->fd is 0 initially
sys_umem_add(&atom2->fd) <= the first umem_add returns the value
atom1 [uses fd]
atom2 [uses fd]
but i didnt like this approach: this means 1 more atom per indirect
parameter, and quite some trickery to put the right information into the
right place. Furthermore, this makes syslets very much tied to the
'register contents' - instead of them being 'pure instructions/code'.

there are three main reasons for this choice:
- firstly, by putting completion events into the user-space ringbuffer
the asynchronous contexts are not held up at all, and the threads are
available for further syslet use.
- secondly, it was the most obvious and simplest solution to me - it
just fits well into the syslet model - which is an execution concept
centered around pure user-space memory and system calls, not some
kernel resource. Kernel fills in the ringbuffer, user-space clears it.
If we had to worry about a handshake between user-space and
kernel-space for the completion information to be passed along, that
would either mean extra buffering or extra overhead. Extra buffering
(in the kernel) would be for no good reason: why not buffer it in the
place where the information is destined for in the first place. The
ringbuffer of /pointers/ is what makes this really powerful. I never
really liked the AIO/etc. method /event buffer/ rings. With syslets
the 'cookie' is the pointer to the syslet atom itself. It doesnt get
any more straightforward than that i believe.
- making 'is there more stuff for me to work on' a simple instruction in
user-space makes it a no-brainer for user-space to promptly and
without thinking complete events. It's also the right thing to do on
SMP: if one core is solely dedicated to the asynchronous workload,
only running on kernel mode, and the other code is only running
user-space, why ever switch between protection domains? [except if any
of them is idle] The fastest completion signalling method is the
/memory bus/, not an interrupt. User-space could in theory even use
MWAIT (in user-space!) to wait for the other core to complete stuff.
That makes for a hell of a fast wakeup.

previous here is the previously executed atom, which is always a
specific atom. Think of atoms as 'instructions', and these condition
flags as the 'CPU flags' like 'zero' 'carry' 'sign', etc. Syslets can be
thought of as streams of simplified instructions.

but that's not what it does. It really 'skips to the next one on a stop
event'. I.e. if you have three consecutive atoms (consecutive in linear
memory):
atom1 returns 0
atom2 has SYSLET_STOP_ON_ZERO|SYSLET_SKIP_NEXT_ON_STOP set
atom3
then after atom1 returns 0, the SYSLET_STOP_ON_ZERO condition is
recognized as a 'stop' event - but due to the SYSLET_SKIP_NEXT_ON_STOP
flag execution does not stop (i.e. we do not return to user-space or
complete the syslet), but we continue execution at atom3.
this flag basically avoids having to add an atom->else pointer and keeps
the data structure more compressed. Two-way branches are sufficiently
rare, so i wanted to avoid the atom->else pointer.

How about implementing aio_cancel() as a NOP. Can anyone prove that the
kernel didnt actually attempt to cancel that IO? [but unfortunately
failed at doing so, because the platters were being written already.]
really, what's the point behind aio_cancel()?

well, each async syslet has a separate TID at the moment, so if we want
a submitted syslet to be cancellable then we could return the TID of the
syslet handler (instead of the NULL) in sys_async_exec(). Then
user-space could send a signal the old-fashioned way, via sys_tkill(),
if it so wishes.
the TID could also be used in a sys_async_wait_on() API. I.e. it would
be a natural, readily accessible 'cookie' for the pending work. TIDs can
be looked up lockless via RCU, so it's reasonably fast as well.
( Note that there's already a way to 'signal' pending syslets: do_exit()
in the user context will signal all async contexts (which results in
-EINTR of currently executing syscalls, wherever possible) and will
tear them down. But that's too crude for aio_cancel() i guess. )

the same thread is allowed to continue execution even if the system call
blocks: take a look at async_schedule(). The blocked system-call is 'put
aside' (in a sleeping thread), the kernel switches the user-space
context (registers) to a free kernel thread and switches to it - and
returns to user-space as if nothing happened - allowing the user-space
context to 'fill the pipe' as much as it can. Or did i misunderstand
your point?
basically there's SYSLET_ASYNC for 'always async' and SYSLET_SYNC for
'always sync' - but the default syslet behavior is: 'try sync and switch
transparently to async on demand'. The testcode i sent very much uses
this. (and this mechanism is in essence Zach's fibril-switching thing,
but done via kernel threads.)

yeah. Although 'stuff goes async' is quite similar to a cachemiss. We
didnt have some resource available right now so the syscall has to block

each indirect pointer has to be checked separately, before dereferencing
it. (Andrew pointed out that they should be VERIFY_READ, i fixed that in
my tree)
it looks a bit scary in C but the assembly code is very fast and quite
straightforward.

get_user_pages() would have to be limited in some way - and i didnt want
to add yet another wacky limit thing - so i just used the already
existing mlock() infrastructure for this. If Oracle wants to set up a 10
MB ringbuffer, they can set the PAM resource limits to 11 MB and still
have enough stuff left. And i dont really expect GPG to start using
syslets - just yet ;-)
a single page is enough for 1024 completion pointers - that's more than
enough for most purposes - and the default mlock limit is 40K.

In the diagram above the previously executed atom, when handling atom B,
can be either atom A or atom C. So B doesn't know what kind of return value
to expect, because it depends on the previous atom's kind of syscall, and
not on B's return type. So I think you would want to move those return value
flags one atom earlier, in this case to A and C. So each atom will have a
flag telling what to to depending on its own return value.

The flags are smart, they're just at the wrong place I think.
In your example, if atom3 has a 'next' pointing to atom2, atom2 wouldn't
know which return value it's checking: The one of atom1, or the one of
atom3? You're spreading syscall specific knowledge over multiple atoms
while that isn't necessary.
What I propose:
atom1 returns 0, has SYSLET_STOP_ON_ZERO|SYSLET_SKIP_NEXT_ON_STOP set
atom2
atom3
(You've already used my SYSLET_SKIP_NEXT_ON_STOP instead of
SYSLET_SKIP_TO_NEXT_ON_STOP. ;-)
Perhaps it's even more clear when splitting that SYSLET_STOP_* into a
SYSLET_STOP flag, and specific SYSLET_IF_* flags. Either that, or go
all the way and introduce seperate SYSLET_SKIP_NEXT_ON_*.
atom1 returns 0, has SYSLET_SKIP_NEXT|SYSLET_IF_ZERO set
atom2
atom3

ok, that should work fine already - exit in the user context gets
propagated to all async syslet contexts immediately. So if the syscalls
that the syslet uses are reasonably interruptible, it will work out
fine.

But why only constant sized? It could be a variable length object, couldn't it?
If it's an array it could be all checked together

If you only use it for a small ring buffer it is naturally limited.

That would be a little heavy handed. I wouldn't expect my GUI
program to quit itself on cancel. And requiring it to create a new
thread just to exit on cancel would be also nasty.
And of course you cannot interrupt blocked IOs this way right now
(currently it only works with signals in some cases on NFS)

doh. Yes. I noticed and implemented this yesterday and it's in the
submitted syslet code - but i guess i was too tired to remember my own
code - so i added the wrong comments :-/ If you look at the sample
user-space code:
init_atom(req, &req->open_file, __NR_sys_open,
&req->filename_p, &O_RDONLY_var, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL,
&req->fd, SYSLET_STOP_ON_NEGATIVE, &req->read_file);
the 'STOP_ON_NEGATIVE' acts on that particular atom.
this indeed cleaned up things quite a bit and made the user-space syslet
code alot more straightforward. A return value can still be recovered
and examined (with a different condition and a different jump target)
arbitrary number of times via ret_ptr and via sys_umem_add().

That is only one of ways of notifying userspace of system call completion
on OpenVMS. Pretty much every syscall there exists in 2 flavors - async
and sync, for example $QIO and $QIOW or $ENQ/$ENQW (actually -W flavor
is async call + $SYNCH to wait for completion). Once system service call
is completed the OS would raise a so-called event flag and may also
deliver an AST to the process. Application may either wait for an
event flag/set of event flags (EFN) or rely on AST to get notification.

i think what you might be missing is that it's only the 6 syscall
arguments that are fetched via indirect pointers - security checks are
then done by the system calls themselves. It's a bit awkward to think
about, but it is surprisingly clean in the assembly, and it simplified
syslet programming too.

yeah, but 'small' is a dangerous word when it comes to adding IO

1024 (512 on 64-bit) is alot but not ALOT. It is also certainly not
ALOOOOT :-) Really, people will want to have more than 512
disks/spindles in the same box. I have used such a beast myself. For Tux
workloads and benchmarks we had parallelism levels of millions of
pending requests (!) on a single system - networking, socket limits,
disk IO combined with thousands of clients do create such scenarios. I
really think that such 'pinned pages' are a pretty natural fit for
sys_mlock() and RLIMIT_MEMLOCK, and since the kernel side is careful to
use the _inatomic() uaccess methods, it's safe (and fast) as well.

ok. The TID+signal approach i mentioned in the other reply should work.
If it's frequent enough we could make this an explicit
sys_async_cancel(TID) API.

Not sure if a signal is good for this. It might conflict with existing
strange historical semantics.

Ideally there should be a new function like signal_pending() that checks for
this. Then the network fs could check those in their blocking loops
and error out.
Then it would even work on non intr NFS mounts.

Lemme give you a real-world scenario: Question Answering in a Dialog
System. Your locked-in-memory index ranks documents in a several
million files corpus depending of the chances they have to have what
you're looking for. You have a tenth of a second to read as many of
them as you can, and each seek is 5ms. So you aio-read them,
requesting them in order of ranking up to 200 or so, and see what you
have at the 0.1s deadline. If you're lucky, a combination of cache
(especially if you stat() the whole dir tree on a regular basis to
keep the metadata fresh in cache) and of good io reorganisation by the
scheduler will allow you to get a good number of them and do the
information extraction, scoring and clustering of answers, which is
pure CPU at that point. You *have* to cancel the remaining i/o
because you do not want the disk saturated when the next request
comes, especially if it's 10ms later because the dialog manager found
out it needed a complementary request.
Incidentally, that's something I'm currently implementing for work,
making these aio discussions more interesting that usual :-)

So if I have an application which instantiates a single mlocked page
for this purpose, I can only run ten of them at once, and any other
mlock-using process which I'm using starts to mysteriously fail.
It seems like a problem to me..

with both writes going to the same place must be predictably

It's a little unclear why you do that many individual access_ok()s.

If it's only a few pages you don't need any resource accounting.
If it's more then it's nasty to steal the users quota.
I think plain gup() would be better.

Yes, of course we have to support the indirection, otherwise chaining

I really think it simplifies it. You simply *copy* the parameter (I'd say
that 70+% of cases falls inside here), and if the current "pmap" bit is
set, then you do all the indirection copy-from-userspace stuff.
It also simplify userspace a lot, since you can now pass arrays and
structure pointers directly, w/out saving them in a temporary variable.

That makes also for a hell ugly retrieval API IMO ;)
If it'd be backed up but considerable performance gains, then it might be OK.
But I believe it won't be the case, and that leave us with an ugly API.
OTOH, if noone else object this, it means that I'm the only wierdo :) and
the API is just fine.

You need cancel. If you scheduled an async syscall, and the "session"
linked with that chain is going away, you better have that canceled before
cleaning up buffers to where the chain is going to read/write.
If you keep and hash or a tree indexed by atom-ptr, than become a matter
of a lookup and sending a signal.

The main use case is when you open a file requester on a network
file system where the server is down and you get tired of waiting
and press "Cancel" it should abort the hanging IO immediately.
At least I would appreciate such a feature sometimes.
e.g. the readdir loop could be a syslet (are they powerful
enough to allocate memory for a arbitary sized directory? Probably not)
and then the cancel button could async_cancel() it.

That works too. I was thinking about identifying syslets with the

Ok, I had little to time review the code, but it has been a long
working day, so bear with me if I missed something.
I don't see how sys_async_exec would not block, based on your patches.
Let's try to follow:
- We enter sys_async_exec
- We may fill the pool, but that's nothing interesting ATM. A bunch of
threads will be created, and they'll end up sleeping inside the
cachemiss_loop
- We set the async_ready pointer and we fall inside exec_atom
- There we copy the atom (nothing interesting from a scheduling POV) and
we fall inside __exec_atom
- In __exec_atom we do the actual syscall call. Note that we're still the
task/thread that called sys_async_exec
- So we enter the syscall, and now we end up in schedule because we're
just unlucky
- We notice that the async_ready pointer is not NULL, and we call
__async_schedule
- Finally we're in pick_new_async_thread and we pick one of the ready
threads sleeping in cachemiss_loop
- We copy the pt_regs to the newly picked-up thread, we set its async head
pointer, we set the current task async_ready pointer to NULL, we
re-initialize the async_thread structure (the old async_ready), and we
put ourselves in the busy_list
- Then we roll back to the schedule that started everything, and being
still "prev" for the scheduler, we go to sleep
So the sys_async_exec task is going to block. Now, am I being really
tired, or the cachemiss fast return is simply not there?
There's another problem AFAICS:
- We woke up one of the cachemiss_loop threads in pick_new_async_thread
- The threads wakes up, mark itself as busy, and look at the ->work
pointer hoping to find something to work on
But we never set that pointer to a userspace atom AFAICS. Me blind? :)

I like this a lot. I've always felt frustrated by the wasted time in
setsockopt() calls after accept() or before connect(), or in multiple
calls to epoll_ctl(). It might also be useful as an efficient readv()
emulation using recv(), etc...
Nice work !

I still don't see at->work ever set to a valid userspace atom though...

yeah - i havent added support for 'submit syslet from within a syslet'
support yet :-)
note that current normal syslet operation (both async and sync alike)
does not need at->work at all. When we cachemiss then the new head task
just wants to return a NULL pointer to user-space, to signal that work
is continuing in the background. A ready 'cachemiss' thread is really
not there to do cachemisses, it is a 'new head task in the waiting'. The
name comes from Tux and i guess it's time for a rename :)
but i do plan a SYSLET_ASYNC_CONTINUE flag, roughly along the patch i've
attached below: this would skip to the linearly next syslet and would
let the original syslet execute in the. I have not fully thought this
through though (let alone tested it ;) - can you see any hole in this
approach? This would in essence allow the following construct:
syslet1 &
syslet2 &
syslet3 &
syslet4 &
submitted in parallel, straight to cachemiss threads, from a syslet
itself.
there's yet another work submission variant that makes sense to do, a
true syslet vector submission: to do a loop over syslet atoms in
sys_async_exec(). That would have the added advantage of enabling
caching. If one vector component generates a cachemiss then the head
would continue with the next vector. (this too needs at->work alike
communication between ex-head and new-head)
maybe the latter would be the cleaner approach - SYSLET_ASYNC_CONTINUE
has no effect in cachemiss context, so it only makes sense if the
submitted syslet is a pure vector of parallel atoms. Alternatively,
SYSLET_ASYNC_CONTINUE would have to be made work from cachemiss contexts
too. (because that makes sense too, to start new async execution from
another async context.)
another not yet clear area is when there's no cachemiss thread
available. Right now SYSLET_ASYNC_CONTINUE will just fail - which makes
it nondeterministic.

Let me clarify what I meant.
There is only limited number of threads, which are supposed to execute
blocking context, so when all they are used, main one will block too - I
asked about possibility to reuse the same thread to execute queue of
requests attached to it, each request can block, but if blocking issue
is removed, it would be possible to return.
What I'm asking for is how actually kevent IO state machine functions work
- each IO request is made not through usual mpage and bio allocations,
but with special kevent ones, which do not wait until completion, but
instead in destructor it is either rescheduled (if big file is
transferred, then it is split into parts for transmission) or committed
as ready (thus it becomes possible to read completion through kevent
queue or ring), so there are only several threads, each one does small
job on each request, but the same request can be rescheduled to it again
and again (from bio destructor or ->end_io callback for example).
So I asked if it is possible to extend this state machine to work not
only with blocked syscalls but with non-blocked functions with
possibility to reschedule the same item again.

This will end up badly - I used the same approach in the early kevent
days and was proven to have swapable memory for the ring. I think it
would be much better to have userspace allocated ring and use
copy_to_user() there.
Btw, as a bit of advertisement, the whole completion part can be done
through kevent which already has ring buffer, queue operations and
non-racy updates... :)

it is a userspace allocated ring - but pinned down by the kernel.

That's a problem - 1000/512 pages per 'usual' thread ends up with the
whole memory locked by malicious/stupid application (at least on Debian
and Mandrake there is no locked memory limit by default). And if such
a limit exists, this will hurt big-iron applications, which want to used
high-order rings legitimely.

What if you need to increase the number of arguments passed to a system
call later? That would be an API change since the size of syslet_uatom
would change?
Also, what if you have an ABI such that:
sys_foo(int fd, long long a)
where:
arg[0] <= fd
arg[1] <= unused
arg[2] <= low 32-bits a
arg[3] <= high 32-bits a
it seems you need to point arg[1] to some valid but dummy variable.
How do you propose syslet users know about these kinds of ABI issues
(including the endian-ness of 64-bit arguments) ?

ah, ok, i understand your point. This is not quite possible: the
cachemisses are driven from schedule(), which can be arbitraily deep
inside arbitrary system calls. It can be in a mutex_lock() deep inside a
driver. It can be due to a alloc_pages() call done by a kmalloc() call
done from within ext3, which was called from the loopback block driver,
which was called from XFS, which was called from a VFS syscall.
Even if it were possible to backtrack i'm quite sure we dont want to do
this, for three main reasons:
Firstly, backtracking and retrying always has a cost. We construct state
on the way in - and we destruct on the way out. The kernel stack we have
built up has a (nontrivial) construction cost and thus a construction
value - we should preserve that if possible.
Secondly, and this is equally important: i wanted the number of async
kernel threads to be the natural throttling mechanism. If user-space
wants to use less threads and overcommit the request queue then it can
be done in user-space: by over-queueing requests into a separate list,
and taking from that list upon completion and submitting it. User-space
has precise knowledge of overqueueing scenarios: if the event ring is
full then all async kernel threads are busy.
but note that there's a deeper reason as well for not wanting
over-queueing: the main cost of a 'pending request' is the kernel stack
of the blocked thread itself! So do we want to allow 'requests' to stay
'pending' even if there are "no more threads available"? Nope: because
letting them 'pend' would essentially (and implicitly) mean an increase
of the thread pool.
In other words: with the syslet subsystem, a kernel thread /is/ the
asynchronous request itself. So 'have more requests pending' means 'have
more kernel threads'. And 'no kernel thread available' must thus mean
'no queueing of this request'.
Thirdly, there is a performance advantage of this queueing property as
well: by letting a cachemiss thread only do a single syslet all work is
concentrated back to the 'head' task, and all queueing decisions are
immediately known by user-space and can be acted upon.
So the work-queueing setup is not symmetric at all, there's a
fundamental bias and tendency back towards the head task - this helps
caching too. That's what Tux did too - it always tried to queue back to
the 'head task' as soon as it could. Spreading out work dynamically and
transparently is necessary and nice, but it's useless if the system has
no automatic tendency to move back into single-threaded (fully cached)
state if the workload becomes less parallel. Without this fundamental
(and transparent) 'shrink parallelism' property syslets would only
degrade into yet another threading construct.

the syslet_uatom has a constant size right now, and space for a maximum
of 6 arguments. /If/ the user knows that a specific atom (which for
example does a sys_close()) takes only 1 argument, it could shrink the
size of the atom down by 4 arguments.
[ i'd not actually recommend doing this, because it's generally a
volatile thing to play such tricks - i guess i shouldnt have written
that side-note in the header file :-) ]
there should be no new ABI issues: the existing syscall ABI never
changes, it's only extended. New syslets can rely on new properties of
new system calls. This is quite parallel to how glibc handles system
calls.
> How do you propose syslet users know about these kinds of ABI issues
> (including the endian-ness of 64-bit arguments) ?
syslet users would preferably be libraries like glibc - not applications
- i'm not sure the raw syslet interface should be exposed to
applications. Thus my current thinking is that syslets ought to be
per-arch structures - no need to pad them out to 64 bits on 32-bit
architectures - it's per-arch userspace that makes use of them anyway.
system call encodings are fundamentally per-arch anyway - every arch
does various fixups and has its own order of system calls.
but ... i'd not be against having a 'generic syscall layer' though, and
syslets might be a good starting point for that. But that would
necessiate a per-arch table of translating syscall numbers into this
'generic' numbering, at minimum - or a separate sys_async_call_table[].

Let me spell it out, since you appear to have completely missed my point.
At the moment, SKIP_TO_NEXT_ON_STOP is specified to jump a "jump a full
syslet_uatom number of bytes".
If we end up with a system call being added which requires more than
the currently allowed number of arguments (and it _has_ happened before)
then either those syscalls are not accessible to syslets, or you need
to increase the arg_ptr array.
That makes syslet_uatom larger.
If syslet_uatom is larger, SKIP_TO_NEXT_ON_STOP increments the syslet_uatom
pointer by a greater number of bytes.
If we're running a set of userspace syslets built for an older kernel on
such a newer kernel, that is an incompatible change which will break.

Okay - I guess the userspace library approach is fine, but it needs
to be documented that applications which build syslets directly are
going to be non-portable.

VMS had SYS$QIO which is asynchronous I/O queueing with completions of

Nothing afaik quite like series of commands batched async, although VMS
has a call for everything else so its possible there is one buried in the

Looking at the completion side I'm not 100% sure we need async_wait given
the async batches can include futex operations...

That's only because of schedule() is a main point where
'rescheduling'/requeuing (task switch in other words) happens - but if
it will be possible to bypass schedule()'s decision and not reschedule
there, but 'on demand', will it be possible to reuse the same syslet?
Let me show an example:
consider aio_sendfile() on a big file, so it is not possible to fully
get it into VFS, but having spinning on per-page basis (like right now)
is no optial solution too. For kevent AIO I created new address space
operation aio_getpages() which is essentially mpage_readpages() - it
populates several pages into VFS in one BIO (if possible, otherwise in
the smallest possible number of chunks) and then in bio destruction
callback (actually in bio_endio callback, but for that case it can be
considered as the same) I reschedule the same request to some other (not
exactly the same as started) thread. When processed data is being sent
and next chunk of the file is populated to the VFS using aio_getpages(),
which in BIO callback will reschedule the same request again.
So it is possible with essentially one thread (or limited number of
them) to fill the whole IO pipe.
With syslet approach it seems to be impossible due to the fact, that
request is a whole sendfile. Even if one uses proper readahed (fadvise)
advise, there is no possibility to split sendfile and form it as a set
of essentially the same requests with different start/offset/whatever
parameters (well, exactly for senfile() it is possible - just setup
several calls in one syslet from different offsets and with different
lengths and form a proper state machine of them, but for example TCP
recv() will not match that scenario).
So my main question was about possibility to reuse syslet state machine
in kevent AIO instead of own (althtough own one lacks only one good
feature of syslets threads currently - its set of threads is global,
but not per-task, which does not allow to scale good with number of
different processes doing IO) so to not duplicate the code if kevent is
ever be possible to get into.

So, this is how you'll prevent me from running an infinite loop ;-)
The attached patch adds a cond_resched() instead, to allow infinite
loops without DoS. I dropped the unlikely() as it's already in the
definition of signal_pending().

Here I would expect:
sys_async_wait_for_all(struct syslet_atom *atoms, long nr_atoms)
and
sys_async_wait_for_any(struct syslet_atom *atoms, long nr_atoms).
This way syslets can be used by different parts of a program without
having them waiting for each other.
Thanks.

IMO it'd be quite simple. We detect the service-thread full condition,
*before* entering exec_atom and we queue the atom in an async_head request
list. Yes, there is the chance that from the test time in sys_async_exec,
to the time we'll end up entering exec_atom and down to schedule, one
of the threads would become free, but IMO better that blocking
sys_async_exec.

I was thinking about this yesterday, since I honestly thought that this
whole chaining, and conditions, and parameter lists, and argoument passed
by pointers, etc... was at the end a little clumsy IMO.
Wouldn't a syslet look better like:
long syslet(void *ctx) {
struct sctx *c = ctx;
if (open(c->file, ...) == -1)
return -1;
read();
send();
blah();
...
return 0;
}
That'd be, instead of passing a chain of atoms, with the kernel
interpreting conditions, and parameter lists, etc..., we let gcc
do this stuff for us, and we pass the "clet" :) pointer to sys_async_exec,
that exec the above under the same schedule-trapped environment, but in
userspace. We setup a special userspace ad-hoc frame (ala signal), and we
trap underneath task schedule attempt in the same way we do now.
We setup the frame and when we return from sys_async_exec, we basically
enter the "clet", that will return to a ret_from_async, that will return
to userspace. Or, maybe we can support both. A simple single-syscall exec
in the way we do now, and a clet way for the ones that requires chains and
conditions. Hmmm?

Which is just the same as using threads. My argument is that once you
look at all the details involved, what you end up arriving at is the
creation of threads. Threads are relatively cheap, it's just that the
hardware currently has several performance bugs with them on x86 (and more
on x86-64 with the MSR fiddling that hits the hot path). Architectures
like powerpc are not going to benefit anywhere near as much from this
exercise, as the state involved is processed much more sanely. IA64 as
usual is simply doomed by way of having too many registers to switch.
If people really want to go down this path, please make an effort to compare
threads on a properly tuned platform. This means that things like the kernel
and userland stacks must take into account the cache alignment (we do some
of this already, but there are some very definate L1 cache colour collisions
between commonly hit data structures amongst threads). The existing AIO
ringbuffer suffers from this, as important data is always on the beginning
of the first page. Yes, these might be microoptimizations, but accumulated
changes of this nature have been known to buy 100%+ improvements in
performance.

Sort of, except that the whole thing can complete syncronously w/out
context switches. The real point of the whole fibrils/syslets solution is
that kind of optimization. The solution is as good as it is now, for
single syscalls (modulo sys_async_cancel implementation), but for multiple
chained submission it kinda stinks IMHO. Once you have to build chains,
and conditions, and new syscalls to implement userspace variable
increments, and so on..., at that point it's better to have the chain to
be coded in C ala thread proc. Yes, it requires a frame setup and another
entry to the kernel, but IMO that will be amortized in the cost of the
multiple syscalls inside the "clet".

I think you may have mis-interpreted my words. *When* a schedule would
block a synco execution try, then you do have a context switch. Noone
argue that, and the code is clear. The sys_async_exec thread will block,
and a newly woke up thread will re-emerge to sys_async_exec with a NULL
returned to userspace. But in a "cachehit" case (no schedule happens
during the syscall/*let execution), there is no context switch at all.

And I will repeat myself: that cannot be done. Tell me how the following
what if scenario works: you're in an MMX optimized memory copy and you take
a page fault. How does returning to the submittor of the async operation
get the correct MMX state restored? It doesn't.

Ok, having now looked at it more, I can say:
- I hate it.
I dislike it intensely, because it's so _close_ to being usable. But the
programming interface looks absolutely horrid for any "casual" use, and
while the loops etc look like fun, I think they are likely to be less than
useful in practice. Yeah, you can do the "setup and teardown" just once,
but it ends up being "once per user", and it ends up being a lot of stuff
to do for somebody who wants to just do some simple async stuff.
And the whole "lock things down in memory" approach is bad. It's doing
expensive things like mlock(), making the overhead for _single_ system
calls much more expensive. Since I don't actually believe that the
non-single case is even all that interesting, I really don't like it.
I think it's clever and potentially useful to allow user mode to see the
data structures (and even allow user mode to *modify* them) while the
async thing is running, but it really seems to be a case of excessive
cleverness.
For example, how would you use this to emulate the *current* aio_read()
etc interfaces that don't have any user-level component except for the
actual call? And if you can't do that, the whole exercise is pointless.
Or how would you do the trivial example loop that I explained was a good
idea:
struct one_entry *prev = NULL;
struct dirent *de;
while ((de = readdir(dir)) != NULL) {
struct one_entry *entry = malloc(..);
/* Add it to the list, fill in the name */
entry->next = prev;
prev = entry;
strcpy(entry->name, de->d_name);
/* Do the stat lookup async */
async_stat(de->d_name, &entry->stat_buf);
}
wait_for_async();
.. Ta-daa! All done ..
Notice? This also "chains system calls together", but it does it using a
*much* more powerful entity called "user space". That's what user space
is. And yeah, it's a pretty complex sequencer, but happily we have
hardware support for accelerating it to the point that the kernel never
even needs to care.
The above is a *realistic* schenario, where you actually have things like
memory allocation etc going on. In contrast, just chaining system calls
together isn't a realistic schenario at all.
So I think we have one _known_ usage schenario:
- replacing the _existing_ aio_read() etc system calls (with not just
existing semantics, but actually binary-compatible)
- simple code use where people are willing to perhaps do something
Linux-specific, but because it's so _simple_, they'll do it.
In neither case does the "chaining atoms together" seem to really solve
the problem. It's clever, but it's not what people would actually do.
And yes, you can hide things like that behind an abstraction library, but
once you start doing that, I've got three questions for you:
- what's the point?
- we're adding overhead, so how are we getting it back
- how do we handle independent libraries each doing their own thing and
version skew between them?
In other words, the "let user space sort out the complexity" is not a good
answer. It just means that the interface is badly designed.

This looks very interesting. A couple of questions:
Are there any special semantics that result from running the syslet
atoms in kernel mode? If I wanted to, could I write a syslet emulation
in userspace that's functionally identical to a kernel-based
implementation? (Obviously the performance characteristics will be
different.)
I'm asking from the perspective of trying to work out the Valgrind
binding for this if it goes into the kernel. Valgrind needs to see all
the input and output values of each system call the client makes,
including those done within the syslet mechanism. It seems to me that
the easiest way to do this would be to intercept the syslet system
calls, and just implement them in usermode, performing the same series
of syscalls directly, and applying the Valgrind machinery to each one in
turn.
Would this work?
Also, an unrelated question: is there enough control structure in place
to allow multiple syslet streams to synchronize with each other with
futexes?
Thanks,
J

hm, there must be some misunderstanding here. That mlock is /only/ once
per the lifetime of the whole 'head' - i.e. per sys_async_register().
(And you can even forget i ever did it - it's 5 lines of code to turn
the completion ring into a swappable entity.)
never does any MMU trick ever enter the picture during the whole
operation of this thing, and that's very much intentional.

Bear with me Ben, and let's follow this up :) If you are in the middle of
an MMX copy operation, inside the syscall, you are:
- Userspace, on task A, calls sys_async_exec
- Userspace in _not_ doing any MMX stuff before the call
- We execute the syscall
- Task A, executing the syscall and inside an MMX copy operation, gets a
page fault
- We get a schedule
- Task A MMX state will *follow* task A, that will be put to sleep
- We wake task B that will return to userspace
So if the MMX work happens inside the syscall execution, we're fine
because its context will follow the same task being put into sleep.
Problem would be to preserve the *caller* (userspace) context. But than
can be done in a lazy way (detecting if task A user the FPU) like we're
currently doing it, once we detect a schedule-out condition. That wouldn't
be the most common case for many userspace programs in any case.

to stress it: never does any mlocking or other lockdown happen of any
syslet atom - it is /only/ the completion ring of syslet pointers that i
made mlocked - but even that can be made generic memory no problem.
It's all about asynchronous system calls, and if you want you can have a
terabyte of syslets in user memory, half of it swapped out. They have
absolutely zero kernel context attached to them in the 'cached case' (be
that locked memory or some other kernel resource).

But the whole point is that the notion of a "register" is wrong in the
first place. It's wrong because:
- it assumes we are going to make these complex state machines (which I
don't believe for a second that a real program will do)
- it assumes that we're going to make many async system calls that go
together (which breaks the whole notion of having different libraries
using this for their own internal reasons - they may not even *know*
about other libraries that _also_ do async IO for *their* reasons)
- it fundamentally is based on a broken notion that everything would use
this "AIO atom" in the first place, WHICH WE KNOW IS INCORRECT, since
current users use "aio_read()" that simply doesn't have that and
doesn't build up any such data structures.
So please answer my questions. The problem wasn't the mlock(), even though
that was just STUPID. The problem was much deeper. This is not a "prepare
to do a lot of very boutique linked list operations" problem. This is a
"people already use 'aio_read()' and want to extend on it" problem.
You didn't at all react to that fundamental issue: you have an overly
complex and clever thing that doesn't actually *match* what people do.

forget about it then. The thing we "register" is dead-simple:
struct async_head_user {
struct syslet_uatom __user **completion_ring;
unsigned long ring_size_bytes;
unsigned long max_nr_threads;
};
this can be passed in to sys_async_exec() as a second pointer, and the
kernel can put the expected-completion pointer (and the user ring idx
pointer) into its struct atom. It's just a few instructions, and only in
the cachemiss case.
that would make completions arbitrarily split-up-able. No registration
whatsoever. A waiter could specify which ring's events it is interested
in. A 'ring' could be a single-entry thing as well, for a single
instance of pending IO.

I think the whole point of an async execution of a syscall or a syslet, is
that the syscall/syslet itself includes a non interlocked operations with
other syscalls/syslets. So that the main scheduler thread can run in a
lockless/singletask fashion. There are no technical obstacles that
prevents you to do it, bu if you start adding locks (and hence having
long-living syslet-threads) at that point you'll end up with a fully
multithreaded solution.

That's an incorrect assumption. Every task/thread in the system has FPU
state associated with it, in part due to the fact that glibc has to change
some of the rounding mode bits, making them different than the default from
a freshly initialized state.
> - We wake task B that will return to userspace
At which point task B has to touch the FPU in userspace as part of the
cleanup, which adds back in an expensive operation to the whole process.
The whole context switch mechanism is a zero sum game -- everything that
occurs does so because it *must* be done. If you remove something at one
point, then it has to occur somewhere else.
My opinion of this whole thread is that it implies that our thread creation
and/or context switch is too slow. If that is the case, improve those
elements first. At least some of those optimizations have to be done in
hardware on x86, while on other platforms are probably unnecessary.
Fwiw, there are patches floating around that did AIO via kernel threads
for file descriptors that didn't implement AIO (and remember: kernel thread
context switches are cheaper than userland thread context switches). At
least take a stab at measuring what the performance differences are and
what optimizations are possible before prematurely introducing a new "fast"
way of doing things that adds a bunch more to maintain.

i'm not sure what you mean here either - aio_read()/write()/etc. could
very much be implemented using syslets - and in fact one goal of syslets
is to enable such use. struct aiocb is mostly shaped by glibc internals,
and it currently has 32 bytes of free space. Enough to put a single atom
there. (or a pointer to an atom)

this can very much be done, with a straightforward extension of how we
handle FPU state. That makes sense independently of syslets/async as
well, so find below the standalone patch from Arjan. It's in my current
syslet queue and works great.

------------------------>
Subject: [patch] x86: split FPU state from task state
From: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com>
Split the FPU save area from the task struct. This allows easy migration
of FPU context, and it's generally cleaner. It also allows the following
two (future) optimizations:
1) allocate the right size for the actual cpu rather than 512 bytes always
2) only allocate when the application actually uses FPU, so in the first
lazy FPU trap. This could save memory for non-fpu using apps.

They've not had the chance before and there are certain chains of them
which make huge amounts of sense because you don't want to keep taking
completion hits. Not so much looping ones but stuff like
cork write sendfile uncork close
are very natural sequences.
There seem to be a lot of typical sequences it doesn't represent however
(consider the trivial copy case where you use the result one syscall into
the next)

They can each register their own async objects. They need to do this
anyway so that the libraries can use asynchronous I/O and hide it from
applications.

Do current users do this because that is all they have, because it is
hard, or because the current option is all that makes sense ?
The ability to avoid asynchronous completion waits and
complete/wake/despatch cycles is a good thing of itself. I don't know if
it justifies the rest but it has potential for excellent performance.

That patch adds a bunch of memory dereferences and another allocation
to the thread creation code path -- a tax that all users must pay. Granted,
it's small, but at the very least should be configurable out for the 99.9%
of users that will never use this functionality.
I'm willing to be convinced, it's just that I would like to see some
numbers that scream out that this is a good thing.

i think you are banging on open doors. That async_stat() call is very
much what i'd like to see glibc to provide, not really the raw syslet
interface. Nor do i want to see raw syscalls exposed to applications.
Plus the single-atom thing is what i think will be used mostly
initially, so all my optimizations went into that case.
while i agree with you that state machines are hard, it's all a function
of where the concentration of processing is. If most of the application
complexity happens in user-space, then the logic should live there. But
for infrastructure things (like the async_stat() calls, or aio_read(),
or other, future interfaces) i wouldnt mind at all if they were
implemented using syslets. Likewise, if someone wants to implement the
hottest accept loop in Apache or Samba via syslets, keeping them from
wasting time on writing in-kernel webservers (oops, did i really say
that?), it can be done. If a JVM wants to use syslets, sure - it's an
abstraction machine anyway so application programmers are not exposed to
it.
syslets are just a realization that /if/ the thing we want to do is
mostly on the kernel side, then we might as well put the logic to the
kernel side. It's more of a 'compound interface builder' than the place
for real program logic. It makes our interfaces usable more flexibly,
and it allows the kernel to provide 'atomic' APIs, instead of having to
provide the most common compounded uses as well.
and note that if you actually try to do an async_stat() sanely, you do
get quite close to the point of having syslets. You get basically up to
a one-shot atom concept and 90% of what i have in kernel/async.c. The
remaining 10% of further execution control is easy and still it opens up
these new things that were not possible before: compounding, vectoring,
simple program logic, etc.
The 'cost' of syslets is mostly the atom->next pointer in essence. The
whole async infrastructure only takes up 20 nsecs more in the cached
case. (but with some crazier hacks i got the one-shot atom overhead
[compared to a simple synchronous null syscall] to below 10 nsecs, so
there's room in there for further optimizations. Our current null
syscall latency is around ~150 nsecs.)

so the next step, as mentioned in the changelog, to allocate only on the
first FPU fault, so that it becomes a GAIN for everyone, since only
threads that use FPU will use the memory.
The second gain (although only on old cpus) is that you only need to
allocate enough memory for your cpu, rather than 512 always.

yeah, that's another key thing. I do plan to provide a sys_upcall()
syscall as well which calls a 5-parameter user-space function with a
special stack. (it's like a lightweight signal/event handler, without
any of the signal handler legacies and overhead - it's like a reverse
system call - a "user call". Obviously pure userspace would never use
sys_upcall(), unless as an act of sheer masochism.)
[ that way say a full HTTP request could be done by an asynchronous
context, because the HTTP parser could be done as a sys_upcall(). ]
so if it's simpler/easier for a syslet to do a step in user-space - as
long as it's an 'atom' of processing - it can be done.
or if processing is so heavily in user-space that most of the logic
lives there then just use plain pthreads. There's just no point in
moving complex user-space code to the syslet side if it's easier/faster
to do it in user-space. Syslets are there for asynchronous /kernel/
execution, and is centered around how the kernel does stuff: system
calls.
besides sys_upcall() i also plan two other extensions:
- a CLONE_ASYNC_WORKER for user-space to be able use its pthread as an
optional worker thread in the async engine. A thread executing
user-space code qualifies as a 'busy' thread - it has to call into
sys_async_cachemiss_thread() to 'offer' itself as a ready thread that
the 'head' could switch to anytime.
- support for multiple heads sharing the async context pool. All the
locking logic is there already (because cachemiss threads can already
access the queue), it only needs a refcount in struct async_head
(only accessed during fork/exit), and an update to the teardown logic
(that too is a slowpath).

Right. Which is why I wrote (and you removed) the rest of my email.
If the "raw" interfaces aren't actually what you use, and you just expect
glibc to translate things into them, WHY DO WE HAVE THEM AT ALL?
> The 'cost' of syslets is mostly the atom->next pointer in essence.
No. The cost is:
- indirect interfaces are harder to follow and debug. It's a LOT easier
to debug things that go wrong when it just does what you ask it for,
instead of writing to memory and doing something totally obscure.
I don't know about you, but I use "strace" a lot. That's the kind of
cost we have.
- the cost is the extra and totally unnecessary setup for the
indirection, that nobody reallyis likely to use.

You are not counting the whole setup cost there, then, because your setup
cost is going to be at a minimum more expensive than the null system call.
And yes, for benchmarks, it's going to be done just once, and then the
benchmark will loop a million times. But for other things like libraries,
that don't know whether they get called once, or a million times, this is
a big deal.
This is why I'd like a "async_stat()" to basically be the *same* cost as a
"stat()". To within nanoseconds. WITH ALL THE SETUP! Because otherwise, a
library may not be able to use it without thinking about it a lot, because
it simply doesn't know whether the caller is going to call it once or many
times.
THIS was why I wanted the "synchronous mode". Exactly because it removes
all the questions about "is it worth it". If the cost overhead is
basically zero, you know it's always worth it.
Now, if you make the "async_submit()" _incldue_ the setup itself (as you
alluded to in one of your emails), and the cost of that is basically
negligible, and it still allows people to do things simply and just submit
a single system call without any real overhead, then hey, it's may be a
complex interface, but at least you can _use_ it as a simple one.
At that point most of my arguments against it go away. It might still be
over-engineered, but if the costs aren't visible, and it's obvious enough
that the over-engineering doesn't result in subtle bugs, THEN (and only
then) is a more complex and generic interface worth it even if nobody
actually ends up using it.

IMO I still belive this is not a huge problem. FPU state propagation/copy
can be done in a clever way, once we detect the in-async condition.

Show me. clts() and stts() are expensive hardware operations which there
is no means of avoiding as control register writes impact the CPU in a not
trivial manner. I've spent far too much time staring at profiles of what
goes on in the context switch code in the process of looking for optimizations
on this very issue to be ignored on this point.

hm, this one-time cost was never on my radar. [ It's really dwarved by
other startup costs (a single fork() takes 100 usecs, an exec() takes
800 usecs.) ]
In any case, we can delay this cost into the first cachemiss, or can
eliminate it by making it a globally pooled thing. It does not seem like
a big issue.

i really count this into the category of 'application startup', and thus
it's is another type of 'cachemiss': the cost of having to bootstrap a
new context. (Even though obviously we want this to go as fast as
possible too.) Library startups, linking (even with prelink), etc., is
quite expensive already - goes into the tens of milliseconds.
or if it's a new thread startup - where this cost would indeed be
visible, if the thread exits straight after being startup up, and where
this thread would want to do a single AIO, then shareable async heads
(see my mail to Alan) ought to solve this. (But short-lifetime threads
are not really a good idea in themselves.)
but the moment it's some fork()ed context, or even an exec()ed context,
this cost is very small in comparisno. And who in their right mind
starts up a whole new process just to do a single IO and then exit
without doing any other processing? (so that the async setup cost would
show up)
but, short-lived contexts, where this cost would be visible, are
generally a really bad idea.

I was thinking you'd use the futexes more like barriers than locks.
That way you could have several streams going asynchronously, but use
futexes to gang them together at appropriate times in the stream. A
handwavy example would be to have separate async streams for audio and
video, but use futexes to stop them from drifting too far from each other.

The trivial case is the cachehit case. Everything flows like usual since
we don't swap threads.
If we're going to sleep, __async_schedule has to save/copy (depending if
TS_USEDFPU is set) the current FPU state to the newly selected service
thread (return-to-userspace thread).
When a fault eventually happen in the new userspace thread, context is
restored.

That is exactly what I described as clets. Instead of having complex jump
and condition interpreters on the kernel (on top of new syscalls to
modify/increment userspace variables), you just code it in C and you pass
the clet pointer to the kernel.
The upcall will setup a frame, execute the clet (where jump/conditions and
userspace variable changes happen in machine code - gcc is pretty good in
taking care of that for us) on its return, come back through a
sys_async_return, and go back to userspace.

So, for example, this is the setup code for the current API (and that's a
really simple one - immagine going wacko with loops and userspace varaible
changes):
static struct req *alloc_req(void)
{
/*
* Constants can be picked up by syslets via static variables:
*/
static long O_RDONLY_var = O_RDONLY;
static long FILE_BUF_SIZE_var = FILE_BUF_SIZE;
struct req *req;
if (freelist) {
req = freelist;
freelist = freelist->next_free;
req->next_free = NULL;
return req;
}
req = calloc(1, sizeof(struct req));
/*
* This is the first atom in the syslet, it opens the file:
*
* req->fd = open(req->filename, O_RDONLY);
*
* It is linked to the next read() atom.
*/
req->filename_p = req->filename;
init_atom(req, &req->open_file, __NR_sys_open,
&req->filename_p, &O_RDONLY_var, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL,
&req->fd, SYSLET_STOP_ON_NEGATIVE, &req->read_file);
/*
* This second read() atom is linked back to itself, it skips to
* the next one on stop:
*/
req->file_buf_ptr = req->file_buf;
init_atom(req, &req->read_file, __NR_sys_read,
&req->fd, &req->file_buf_ptr, &FILE_BUF_SIZE_var,
NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL,
SYSLET_STOP_ON_NON_POSITIVE | SYSLET_SKIP_TO_NEXT_ON_STOP,
&req->read_file);
/*
* This close() atom has NULL as next, this finishes the syslet:
*/
init_atom(req, &req->close_file, __NR_sys_close,
&req->fd, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, 0, NULL);
return req;
}
Here's how your clet would look like:
static long main_sync_loop(ctx *c)
{
int fd;
char file_buf[FILE_BUF_SIZE+1];
if ((fd = open(c->filename, O_RDONLY)) == -1)
return -1;
while (read(fd, file_buf, FILE_BUF_SIZE) > 0)
;
close(fd);
return 0;
}
Kinda easier to code isn't it? And the cost of the upcall to schedule the
clet is widely amortized by the multple syscalls you're going to do inside
your clet.

Not necessarily too slow, but too opaque in terms of system-wide
impact and global flow control. Here are the four practical use cases
that I have seen come up in this discussion:
1) Databases that want to parallelize I/O storms, with an emphasis on
getting results that are already cache-hot immediately (not least so
they don't get evicted by other I/O results); there is also room to
push some of the I/O clustering and sequencing logic down into the
kernel.
2) Static-content-intensive network servers, with an emphasis on
servicing those requests that can be serviced promptly (to avoid a
ballooning connection backlog) and avoiding duplication of I/O effort
when many clients suddenly want the same cold content; the real win
may be in "smart prefetch" initiated from outside the network server
proper.
3) Network information gathering GUIs, which want to harvest as much
information as possible for immediate display and then switch to an
event-based delivery mechanism for tardy responses; these need
throttling of concurrent requests (ideally, in-kernel traffic shaping
by request group and destination class) and efficient cancellation of
no-longer-interesting requests.
4) Document search facilities, which need all of the above (big
surprise there) as well as a rich diagnostic toolset, including a
practical snooping and profiling facility to guide tuning for
application responsiveness.
Even if threads were so cheap that you could just fire off one per I/O
request, they're a poor solution to the host of flow control issues
raised in these use cases. A sequential thread of execution per I/O
request may be the friendliest mental model for the individual delayed
I/Os, but the global traffic shaping and scheduling is a data
structure problem.
The right question to be asking is, what are the operations that need
to be supported on the system-wide pool of pending AIOs, and on what
data structure can they be implemented efficiently? For instance, can
we provide an RCU priority queue implementation (perhaps based on
splay trees) so that userspace can scan a coherent read-only snapshot
of the structure and select candidates for cancellation, etc., without
interfering with kernel completions? Or is it more important to have
a three-sided query operation (characteristic of priority search
trees), or perhaps a lower amortized cost bulk delete?
Once you've thought through the data structure manipulation, you'll
know what AIO submission / cancellation / reprioritization interfaces
are practical. Then you can work on a programming model for
application-level "I/O completions" that is library-friendly and
allows a "fast path" optimization for the fraction of requests that
can be served synchronously. Then and only then does it make sense to
code-bum the asynchronous path. Not that it isn't interesting to
think in advance about what stack space completions will run in and
which bits of the task struct needn't be in a coherent condition; but
that's probably not going to guide you to the design that meets the
application needs.
I know I'm teaching my grandmother to suck eggs here. But there are
application programmers high up the code stack whose code makes
implicit use of asynchronous I/O continuations. In addition to the
GUI example I blathered about a few days ago, I have in mind Narrative
Javascript's "blocking operator" and Twisted Python's Deferred. Those
folks would be well served by an async I/O interface to the kernel
which mates well to their language's closure/continuation facilities.
If it's usable from C, that's nice too. :-)

Signal context is another thing that we need to transfer to the
return-to-userspace task, in case we switch. Async threads inherit that
from the "main" task once they're created, but from there to the
sys_async_exec syscall, userspace might have changed the signal context,
and re-emerging with a different one is not an option ;)
We should setup service-threds signal context, so that we can cancel them,
but the implementation should be hidden to userspace (that will use
sys_async_cancel - or whatever name - to do that).

In general, I really like the look of this.
I think I'm convinced that your strong preference to do this with
full kernel threads (1:1 task_struct -> thread_info/stack
relationship) is the right thing to do. The fibrils fell on the side
of risking bugs by sharing task_structs amongst stacks executing
kernel paths. This, correct me if I'm wrong, falls on the side of
risking behavioural quirks stemming from task_struct references that
we happen to have not enabled sharing of yet.
I have strong hopes that we won't actually *care* about the
behavioural differences we get from having individual task structs
(which share the important things!) between syscall handlers. The
*only* seemingly significant case I've managed to find, the IO
scheduler priority and context fields, is easy enough to fix up.
Jens and I have been talking about that. It's been bugging him for
other reasons.
So, thanks, nice work. I'm going to focus on finding out if its
feasible for The Database to use this instead of the current iocb
mechanics. I'm optimistic.
> Syslets are small, simple, lightweight programs (consisting of
> system-calls, 'atoms')
I will admit, though, that I'm not at all convinced that we need
this. Adding a system call for addition (just addition? how far do
we go?!) sure feels like a warning sign to me that we're heading down
a slippery slope. I would rather we started with an obviously
minimal syscall which just takes an array of calls and args and
executes them unconditionally.
But its existance doesn't stop the use case I care about. So it's
hard to get *too* worked up about it.

For what it's worth, it looks like 'x86-optimized-copy_uatom.patch'
got some hunks that should have been in 'x86-optimized-
sys_umem_add.patch'.

I like this, too. (Not surprisingly, having outlined something like
it in a mail in one of the previous threads :)).
I'll bring up the POSIX AIO "list" IO case. It wants to issue a
group of IOs and sleep until they all return. Being able to cheaply
instantiate a ring implicitly with the submission of the IO calls in
the list will make implementing this almost too easy. It'd obviously
just wait for that list's ring to drain.
I hope. There might be complications around the edges (waiting for
multiple list IOs to drain?), but it seems like this would be on the
right track.
I might be alone in caring about having a less ridiculous POSIX AIO
interface in glibc, though, I'll admit. It seems like it'd be a
pretty sad missed opportunity if we rolled a fantastic general AIO
interface and left glibc to still screw around with it's own manual
threading :/.

One can still perfectly fine and easily use sys_async_exec(...stat()...)
in above scenario. Although I do think that having a web server in
kernel is overkill, having a proper state machine for good async
processing is a must.
Not that I agree, that it should be done on top of syscalls as basic
elements, but it is an initial state.

It is an example of what can be done. If one do not like it - do not use
it. State machine is implemented in sendfile() syscall - and although it
is not a good idea to have async sendfile as is in micro-thread design
(due to network blocking and small per-page reading), it is still a state
machine, which can be used with syslet state machine (if it could be
extended).

Well, if we can setup iocb structure, why we can not setup syslet one?
Yes, with syscalls as a state machine elements 99% of users will not use
it (I can only think about proper fadvice()+read()/sendfile() states),
but there is no problem to setup a structure in userspace at all. And if
there is possibility to use it for other things, it is definitely a win.
Actually complex structure setup argument is stupid - everyone forces to
have timeval structure instead of number of microseconds.
So there is no point in 'complex setup and overhead', but there is
a. limit of the AIO (although my point is not to have huge amount of
working threads - they were created by people who can not
program state machines (c) Alan Cox)
b. possibility to implement a state machine (in current form likely will
not be used except maybe some optional hints for IO tasks like
fadvice)
c. in all other ways it has all pros and cons of micro-thread design (it
looks neat and simple, although is utterly broken in some usage
cases).

(I'm cutting wildly, to try to get to the part I wanted to answer)
I actually think aio_read/write() and friends are *horrible* interfaces.
Here's a quick question: how many people have actually ever seen them used
in "normal code"?
Yeah. Nobody uses them. They're not all that portable (even within unixes
they aren't always there, much less in other places), they are fairly
obscure, and they are just not really easy to use.
Guess what? The same is going to be true *in*spades* for any Linux-
specific async system call thing.
This is why I think simplicity of use along with transparency, is so
important. I think "aio_read()" is already a nasty enough interface, and
it's sure more portable than any Linux-specific extension will be (only
until the revolution comes, of course - at that point, everybody who
doesn't use Linux will be up against the wall, so we can solve the problem
that way).
So a Linux-specific extension needs to be *easier* to use or at least
understand, and have *more* obvious upsides than "aio_read()" has.
Otherwise, it's pointless - nobody is really going to use it.
This is why I think the main goals should be:
- the *internal* kernel goal of trying to replace some very specific
aio_read() etc code with somethign more maintainable.
This is really a maintainability argument, nothing more. Even if we
never do anything *but* aio_read() and friends, if we can avoid having
the VFS code have multiple code-paths and explicit checks for AIO, and
instead handle it more "automatically", I think it is already worth it.
- add extensions that people *actually*can*use* in practice.
And this is where "simple interfaces" comes in.

I don't think the "atom" approach is bad per se. I think it could be fine
to have some state information in user space. It's just that I think
complex interfaces that people largely won't even use is a big mistake. We
should concentrate on usability first, and some excessive cleverness
really isn't a big advantage.
Being able to do a "open + stat" looks like a fine thing. But I doubt
you'll see a lot of other combinations.

Agree, existing AIO interface is far from ideal IMO, but it is used. No
matter if it is normal or not, AIO itself is not normal interface -
there are no books about POSIX AIO, so no one knows about AIO at all.

If system is designed that with API changes it breaks - that system sucks
wildly and should be thrown away. Syslets do not suffer from that.
We can have tons of interfaces any alien would be happy with (imho it is
not even kernel's task at all) - new table of syscalls the way usual ones
are used for example.
And we will have async_stat() exactly the same way people would use that.
It is not even a thing to discus. There are other technical issues with
syslets yet to resolve. If people do happy with design of the system, it
is time to think about how it will look from user's point of view.
syslet(__NR_stat) -> async_stat() - say it and Ingo and other developers
will think about how to implement that or start to discuss that it is
bad interface, and instead something else should be invented.
If interface sucks and _interface_ must be changed/extended/replaced.
If overall design sucks and it must be changed.
Solve problems one-by-one, not throwing something just because it uses
wild interface which can be changed in a minute.

There is absolutely _NO_ problem in having any interface people will use.
What one will you?
async_stat() instead of syslet(complex_struct_blah_sync)?
No problem - it is _really_ trivial to implement.
Ingo mentioned that it should be done, and it is really simple task for
glibc just like it is done for usual syscalls, which has completely nothing
with overall system design at all.

Then no problem.
Interface does suck, especially since it does not allow to forbid some
syscalls from async execution, but it is just a brick which allows to
build really good system of it.
I personally vote for table of async syscalls transferred into
human-readable aliases like async_stat() and the like.

I actually think that building chains of syscalls bring you back to a
multithreaded solution. Why? Because suddendly the service thread become
from servicing a syscall (with possible cachehit optimization), to
servicing a whole session. So the number of service threads needed (locked
down by a chain) becomes big because requests goes from being short-lived
syscalls to long-lived chains of them. Think about the trivial web server,
and think about a chain that does open->fstat->sendhdrs->sendfile after an
accept. What's the difference with a multithreaded solution that does
accept->clone and execute the above code in the new thread? Nada, NIL.
Actually, there is a difference. The standard multithreaded function is
easier to code in C than with the complex atoms chains. The number of
service thread becomes suddendly proportional to the number of active
sessions.
The more I look at this, the more I think that async_submit should submit
simple syscalls, or an array of them (unrelated/parallel).

That's nonsense. They are widely used (just hear people scream if
something changes or breaks) and they are available on all Unix
implementations which are not geared towards embedded use. POSIX makes
AIO in the next revision mandatory.
Just because you don't like it, don't discount it. Yes, the interface
is not the best. But this is what you get if you cannot dictate
interfaces to everybody. You have to make concessions.

That is more ideological question about micro-thread design at all.
If syslet will be able to perform only one syscall, one will have 4
threads for above case, not one, so it is even more broken.
So, if Linux moves that way of doing AIO (IMO incorrect, I think that
the correct state machine made not of syscalls, but specially crafted
entries - like populate pages into VFS, send chunk, recv chunk without
blocking and continue on completion and the like), syslets with attached
state machines are the (smallest evil) best choice.

That is the case - atom items (I do hope that this subsystem would be
able to perform not only syscalls, but any kernel interfaces suitable
prototypes, v2 seems to move that direction) are called asynchronously
from main userspace thread to achieve the maximum performance.

Nope, just one thread. Well, two, if you consider the "main" dispatch
thread, and the syscall service thread.

But at that point you don't need to have complex atom interfaces, with
chains, whips and leather pants :) Just code it in C and submit that to
the async engine. The longer is the chain though, the closer you get to a
fully multithreaded solution, in terms of service thread consuption. And
what do you save WRT a multithreaded solution? Not thread
creation/destroy, because that cost is fully amortized inside the chain
execution cost (plus a pool would even save that).
IMO the plus of a generic async engine is mostly from a kernel code
maintainance POV. You don't need anymore to have AIO-aware code paths,
that automatically transalte to smaller and more maintainable code.

No, I really think you're wrong.
In many ways, the interfaces and especially data structures are *more*
important than the code.
The code we can fix. The interfaces, on the other hand, we'll have to live
with forever.
So complex interfaces that expose lots of implementation detail are not a
good thing, and it's _not_ the last thing you want to think about. Complex
interfaces with a lot of semantic knowledge seriously limit how you can
fix things up later.
In contrast, simple interfaces that have clear and unambiguous semantics
and that can be explained at a conceptual level are things that you can
often implement in many different ways. So the interface isn't the bottle
neck: you may have to have a "backwards compatibility layer" for it
> If system is designed that with API changes it breaks - that system sucks

The syslet code itself looks fine. It's the user-visible part I'm not
convinced about.
I'm just saying: how would use use this for existing programs?
For something this machine-specific, you're not going to have any big
project written around the "async atom" code. So realistically, the kinds
of usage we'd see is likely some compile-time configuration option, where
people replace some specific sequence of code with another one. THAT is
what we should aim to make easy and flexible, I think. And that is where
interfaces really are as important as code.
We know one interface: the current aio_read() one. Nobody really _likes_
it (even database people would apparently like to extend it), but it has
the huge advantage of "being there", and having real programs that really
care that use it today.
Others? We don't know yet. And exposing complex interfaces that may not be
the right ones is much *worse* than exposing simple interfaces (that
_also_ may not be the right ones, of course - but simple and
straightforward interfaces with obvious and not-very-complex semantics are
a lot easier to write compatibility layers for if the internal code
changes radically)

Argh, if they are supposed to run synchronously, for example stat can be
done in parallel with sendfile in above example, but generally yes, one
execution thread.

It is completely possible to not wire up several syscalls and just use
only one per async call, but _if_ such a requirement rises, the whole
infrastructure is there.

That's exaclt the way we should discuss it - you do ont like that
interface, but Ingo proposed a way to change that via table of async
syscalls - people asks, people answers - so eventually interface and (if
any) other problems got resolved.

So we just need to describe the way we want to see new interface -
that's it.
Here is a stub for async_stat() - probably broken example, but that does
not matter - this interface is really easy to change.
static void syslet_setup(struct syslet *s, int nr, void *arg1...)
{
s->flags = ...
s->arg[1] = arg1;
....
}
long glibc_async_stat(const char *path, struct stat *buf)
{
/* What about making syslet and/or set of atoms per thread and preallocate
* them when working threads are allocated? */
struct syslet s;
syslet_setup(&s, __NR_stat, path, buf, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL);
return async_submit(&s);
}

Agreed. Absolutely.
But please keep the kernel interface as part of that. Not just a strange
and complex kernel interface and then _usable_ library interfaces that use
the strange and complex one internally. Because if the complex one has no
validity on its own, it's just (a) a bitch to debug and (b) if we ever
change any details inside the kernel we'll end up with a lot of subtle
code where user land creates complex data, and the kernel just reads it,
and both just (unnecessarily) work around the fact that the other doesn't
do the straightforward thing.

And this is a classic example of potentially totally buggy code.
Why? You're releasing the automatic variable on the stack before it's
necessarily all used!
So now you need to do a _longterm_ allocation, and that in turn means that
you need to do a long-term de-allocation!
Ok, so do we make the rule be that all atoms *have* to be read fully
before we start the async submission (so that the caller doesn't need to
do a long-term allocation)?
Or do we make the rule be that just the *first* atom is copied by the
kernel before the async_sumbit() returns, and thus it's ok to do the above
*IFF* you only have a single system call?
See? The example you tried to use to show how "simple" the interface iswas
actually EXACTLY THE REVERSE. It shows how subtle bugs can creep in!

I admit my needs are rather specialist.
1) batch, and wait for, with proper error reporting:
socket();
[ setsockopt(); ]
bind();
connect();
gettimeofday(); // doesn't *always* happen
send();
recv();
gettimeofday(); // doesn't *always* happen
I go through this sequence for each outgoing powerdns UDP query
because I need a new random source port for each query, and I
connect because I care about errrors. Linux does not give me random
source ports for UDP sockets.
When async, I can probably just drop the setsockopt (for
nonblocking). I already batch the gettimeofday to 'once per epoll
return', but quite often this is once per packet.
2) On the client facing side (port 53), I'd very much hope for a way to
do 'recvv' on datagram sockets, so I can retrieve a whole bunch of
UDP datagrams with only one kernel transition.
This would mean that I batch up either 10 calls to recv(), or one
'atom' of 10 recv's.
Both 1 and 2 are currently limiting factors when I enter the 100kqps domain
of name serving. This doesn't mean the rest of my code is as tight as it
could be, but I spend a significant portion of time in the kernel even at
moderate (10kqps effective) loads, even though I already use epoll. A busy
PowerDNS recursor typically spends 25% to 50% of its time on 'sy' load.
This might be due to my use of get/set/swap/makecontext though.

So describe what are the requirements (constraints)?
Above example has exactly one syscall in the chain, so it is ok, but
generally it is not correct.
So instead there will be
s = atom_create_and_add(__NR_stat, path, stat, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL);
atom then can be freed in the glibc_async_wait() wrapper just before
returning data to userspace.
There are millions of possible ways to do that, but what exactly one
should be used from your point of view? Describe _your_ vision of that path.
Currently generic example is following:
allocate mem
setup complex structure
submit syscall
wait syscall
free mem
the first two can be hidden in glibc setup/startup code, the last one -
in waiting or cleanup entry.
Or it can be this one (just an idea):
glibc_async_stat(path, &stat);
int glibc_async_stat(char *path, struct stat *stat)
{
struct pthread *p;
asm ("movl %%gs:0, %0", "=r"(unsigned long)(p));
atom = allocate_new_atom_and_setup_initial_values();
setup_atom(atom, __NR_stat, path, stat, ...);
add_atom_into_private_tree(p, atom);
return async_submit(atom);
}
glibc_async_wait()
{
struct pthread *p;
asm ("movl %%gs:0, %0", "=r"(unsigned long)(p));
cookie = sys_async_wait();
atom = search_for_cookie_and_remove(p);
free_atom(atom);
}
Although that cruft might need to be extended...
So, describe how exactly _you_ think it should be implemented with its
pros and cons, so that systemn could be adopted without trying to
mind-read of what is simple and good or complex and really bad.

What about a setsockopt or just random port selection patch? :)

It is only about one syscall in get and set/swap context, btw, so it
should not be a main factor, doesn't it?
As an advertisement note, but if you have a lot of network events per epoll
read try to use kevent - its socket notifications do not require
additional traverse of the list of ready events as in poll usage.

I want to highlight this point that Bert is making.
Whenever we talk about AIO and kernel threads some folks are rightly
concerned that we're talking about a thread *per IO* and fear that
memory consumption will be fatal.
Take the case of userspace which implements what we'd think of as
page cache writeback. (*coughs, points at email address*). It wants
to issue thousands of IOs to disjoint regions of a file. "Thousands
of kernel threads, oh crap!"
But it only issues each IO with a separate syscall (or io_submit()
op) because it doesn't have an interface that lets it specify IOs
that vector user memory addresses *and file position*.
If we had a seemingly obvious interface that let it kick off batched
IOs to different parts of the file, the looming disaster of a thread
per IO vanishes in that case.
struct off_vec {
off_t pos;
size_t len;
};
long sys_sgwrite(int fd, struct iovec *memvec, size_t mv_count,
struct off_vec *ovec, size_t ov_count);
It doesn't take long to imagine other uses for this that are less
exotic.
Take e2fsck and its iterating through indirect blocks or directory
data blocks. It has a list of disjoint file regions (blocks) it
wants to read, but it does them serially to keep the code from
getting even more confusing. blktrace a clean e2fsck -f some time..
it's leaving *HALF* of the disk read bandwith on the table by
performing serial block-sized reads. If it could specify batches of
them the code would still be simple but it could tell the kernel and
IO scheduler *exactly* what it wants, without having to mess around
with sys_readahead() or AIO or any of that junk :).
Anyway, that's just something that's been on my mind. If there are
obvious clean opportunities to get more done with single syscalls, it
might not be such a bad thing.

Well, I guess in your workload most of system overhead is because of sockets
creation/destruction, UDP/IP stack work, nic driver, interrupts... I really
doubt async_io could help you... Do you have some oprofile results to share
with us ?

Well, it *could* be correct. It depends on the semantics of the atom
fetching. If we make the semantics be that the first atom is fetched
entirely synchronously, then we could make the rule be that single-syscall
async things can do their job with a temporary allocation.
So that wasn't my point. My point was that a complicated interface that
uses indirection actually has subtle issues. You *thought* you were doing
something simple, and you didn't even realize the subtle assumptions you
made.
THAT was the point. Interfaces are really really subtle and important.
It's absolutely not a case of "we can just write wrappers to fix up any
library issues".

So now you add some kind of allocation/dealloction thing. In user space or
in the kernel?

My vision is that we should be able to do the simple things *easily* and
without any extra overhead.
And doing wrappers in user space is almost entirely unacceptable, becasue
a lot of the wrapping needs to be done at release time (for example:
de-allocating memory), and that means that you no longer can do simple
system calls that don't even need release notification AT ALL.
> Currently generic example is following:

And that "allocate mem" and "free mem" is a problem. It's not just a
performance problem, it is a _complexity_ problem. It means that people
have to track things that they are NOT AT ALL INTERESTED IN!

So I think that a good implementation just does everything up-front, and
doesn't _need_ a user buffer that is live over longer periods, except for
the actual results. Exactly because the whole alloc/teardown is nasty.
And I think a good implementation doesn't need wrapping in user space to
be useful - at *least* not wrapping at completion time, which is the
really difficult one (since, by definition, in an async world completion
is separated from the initial submit() event, and with kernel-only threads
you actually want to *avoid* having to do user code after the operation
completed).
I suspect Ingo's thing can do that. But I also suspect (nay, _know_, from
this discussion), that you didn't even think of the problems.

Btw, this doesn't necessarily mean "not supporting multiple atoms at all".
I think the batching of async things is potentially a great idea. I think
it's quite workable for "open+fstat" kind of things, and I agree that it
can solve other things too (the "socket+bind+connect+sendmsg+rcv" kind of
complex setup things).
But I suspect that if we just said:
- we limit these atom sequences to just linear sequences of max "n" ops
- we read them all in in a single go at startup
we actually avoid several nasty issues. Not just the memory allocation
issue in user space (now it's perfectly ok to build up a sequence of ops
in temporary memory and throw it away once it's been submitted), but also
issues like the 32-bit vs 64-bit compatibility stuff (the compat handlers
would just convert it when they do the initial copying, and then the
actual run-time wouldn't care about user-level pointers having different
sizes etc).
Would it make the interface less cool? Yeah. Would it limit it to just a
few linked system calls (to avoid memory allocation issues in the kernel)?
Yes again. But it would simplify a lot of the interface issues.
It would _also_ allow the "sys_aio_read()" function to build up its
*own* set of atoms in kernel space to actually do the read, and there
would be no impact of the actual run-time wanting to read stuff from user
space. Again - it's actually the same issue as with the compat system
call: by making the interfaces do things up-front rather than dynamically,
it becomes more static, but also easier to do interface translations. You
can translate into any arbitrary internal format _once_, and be done with
it.
I dunno.

If you *really* want to allow chains (note that the above could be
prolly be hosted on a real thread, once chains becomes that long), then
try to build that chain with the current API, and compare it with:
long my_clet(ctx *c) {
int fd, error = -1;
if ((fd = socket(...)) == -1 ||
bind(fd, &c->laddr, sizeof(c->laddr)) ||
connect(fd, &c->saddr, sizeof(c->saddr)) ||
sendmsg(fd, ...) == -1 ||
recv(fd, ...) <= 0)
goto
error = 0;
erxit:
close(fd);
return error;
}
Points:
- Keep the submission API to submit one or an array of parallel async
syscalls/clets
- Keep arguments of the syscall being longs (no need for extra pointer
indirection compat code, and special copy_atoms functions)
- No need for the "next" atom pointer chaining (nice for compat too)
- No need to create special conditions/jump interpreters into the kernel
(nice for compat and emulators). C->machine-code that that for us
- Easier to code. Try to build a chain like that with the current API and
you will see what I saying
- Did I say faster? Machine code is faster than sudo-VM interpretation of
jumps/conditions done inside the kernel

Only in toy applications. Real userspace code that lives between
networks+disks and impatient humans is 80% exception handling,
logging, and diagnostics. If you can't do any of that between stages
of an async syscall chain, you're fscked when it comes to performance
analysis (the "which 10% of the traffic do we not abort under
pressure" kind, not the "cut overhead by 50%" kind). Not that real
userspace code could get any simpler by using this facility anyway,
since you can't jump the queue, cancel in bulk, or add cleanup hooks.
Efficiently interleaved execution of high-latency I/O chains would be
nice. Low overhead for cache hits would be nicer. But least for the
workloads that interest me, neither is anywhere near as important as
the ability to say, "This 10% (or 90%) of my requests are going to
take forever? Nevermind -- but don't cancel the 1% I can't do
without."
This is not a scheduling problem, it is a caching problem. Caches are
data structures, not thread pools. Assume that you need to design for
dynamic reprioritization, speculative fetch, and opportunistic flush,
even if you don't implement them at first. Above all, stay out of the
way when a synchronous request misses cache -- and when application
code decides that a bunch of its outstanding requests are no longer
interesting, take the hint!
Oh, and while you're at it: I'd like to program AIO facilities using a
C compiler with an explicitly parallel construct -- something along
the lines of:
try (my_aio_batch, initial_priority, ...) {
} catch {
} finally {
}
Naturally the compiler will know how to convert synchronous syscalls
to their asynchronous equivalent, will use an analogue of IEEE NaNs to
minimize the hits to the exception path, and won't let you call
functions that aren't annotated as safe in IO completion context. I
would also like five acres in town and a pony.
Cheers,

Interfaces can be created and destroyed - they do not affect overall
system design in anyway (well, if they do, something is broken).
So let's solve problems in order of their appearence - if interfaces
are more important for you than overall design - that is a problem I think.

syslets do work that way - they require some user memory - likely
long-standing (100% sure for multi atom setup, maybe it can be optimized
though) - if you do not want to allocate it explicitly - it is possible
to have a wrapper.

I proposed a way to hide allocation - it is simple, but you've cut it.
I can create another one without special per-thread thing -
handle = async_init();
async_stat(handle, path, stat);
async_cleanup(); // not needed, since will be freed on exit automatically
Another one is to preallocate set of atoms in __attribute((contructor))
function.
There are really a lot of possible ways - _I_ can use the first one with
explicit operations, others likely can not - so I _ask_ about how should
it look like.

So where is a problem?
I proposed already three ways to do the thing - user will not even know
about something happend. You did not comment on anyone, instead you
handwaving with talks about how in theory something should be similar
to. What exactly do _you_ expect from interface?
> I suspect Ingo's thing can do that. But I also suspect (nay, _know_, from

That is another problem - you think you know something, but you fail to
prove that.
I can work with explicit structure allocation/deallocation/setup -
you do not want that - so I ask you about your opinion, and instead of
getting an answer I receive theoretical word-fall about how perfect
interface should look like.
You only need to have one function call without ever thinking bout
freeing? I proposed _two_ ways to that.
You can live with explicit init/cleanup (opt) code? There is another
one.
So please decribe your vision of interface with details, so that it
could be think about or/and implemented.

[ hm. I again wrote a pretty long email for you to read. Darn! ]
regarding the API - i share most of your concerns, and it's all a
function of how widely we want to push this into user-space.
My initial thought was for syslets to be used by glibc as small, secure
kernel-side 'syscall plugins' mainly - so that it can do things like
'POSIX AIO signal notifications' (which are madness in terms of
performance, but which applications rely on) /without/ having to burden
the kernel-side AIO with such requirements: glibc just adds an enclosing
sys_kill() to the syslet and it will do the proper signal notification,
asynchronously. (and of course syslets can be used for the Tux type of
performance sillinesses as well ;-)
So a sane user API (all used at the glibc level, not at application
level) would use simple syslets, while more broken ones would have to
use longer ones - but nobody would have the burden of having to
synchronize back to the issuer context. Natural selection will gravitate
application use towards the APIs with the shorter syslets. (at least so
i hope)
In this model syslets arent really user-programmable entities but rather
small plugins available to glibc to build up more complex, more
innovative (or just more broken) APIs than what the kernel wants to
provide - without putting any true new ABI dependency on the kernel,
other than the already existing syscall ABIs.
But if we'd like glibc to provide this to applications in some sort of
standardized /programmable/ manner, with a wide range of atom selections
(not directly coded syscall numbers, but rather as function pointers to
actual glibc functions, which glibc could translate to syscall numbers,
argument encodings, etc.), then i agree that doing the compat things and
making it 32/64-bit agnostic (and much more) is pretty much a must. If
90% of this current job is finished then sorting those out will at least
be another 90% of the work ;-)
and actually this latter model scares me, and i think that model scared
the hell out of you as well.
But i really have no strong opinion about which one we want yet, without
having walked the path. Somewhere inside me i'd of course like syslets
to become a widely available interface - but my fear is that it might
just not be 'human' enough to make sense - and we'd just not want to tie
us down with an ABI that's not used. I dont want this to become another
sys_sendfile - much talked about and _almost_ useful but in practice
seldom used due to its programmability and utility limitations.
OTOH, the syslet concept right now already looks very ubiquitous, and
the main problem with AIO use in applications wasnt just even its broken
API or its broken performance, but the fundamental lack of all Linux IO
disciplines supporting AIO, and the lack of significantly parallel
hardware. We have kaio that is centered around block drivers - then we
have epoll that works best with networking, and inotify that deals with
some (but not all) VFS events - but neither supports every IO and event
disciple well, at once. My feeling is that /this/ is the main
fundamental problem with AIO in general, not just its programmability
limitations.
Right now i'm concentrating on trying to build up something on the
scheduling side that shows the issues in practice, shows the limitations
and shows the possibilities. For example the easy ability to turn a
cachemiss thread back into a user thread (and then back into a cachemiss
thread) was a true surprise to me which increased utility quite a bit. I
couldnt have designed it into the concept because it just didnt occur to
me in the early stages. The notification ring related limitations you
noticed is another important thing to fix - and these issues go to the
core scheduling model of the concept and affect everything.
Thirdly, while Tux does not matter much to us, at least to me it is
pretty clear what it takes to get performance up to the levels of Tux -
and i dont see any big fundamental compromise possible on that front.
Syslets are partly Tux repackaged into something generic - they are
probably a bit slower than straight kernel code Tux, but not by much and
it's also not behaving fundamentally differently. And if we dont offer
at least something close to those possibilities then people will
re-start trying to add those special-purpose state machine APIs again,
and the whole "we need /true/ async IO" game starts again.
So if we accept "make parallelism easier to program" and "get somewhat
close to Tux's performance and scalability" as a premise (which you
might not agree with in that form), then i dont think there's much
choice we have: either we use kernel threads, synchronous system calls
and the scheduler intelligently (and the scheduling/threading bits of
syslets are pretty much the most intelligent kernel thread based
approach i can imagine at the moment =B-) or we use a special-purpose
KAIO state machine subsystem, avoiding most of the existing synchronous
infrastructure, painfully coding it into every IO discipline - and this
will certainly haunt us until the end of times.
So that's why i'm not /that/ much worried about the final form of the
API at the moment - even though i agree that it is /the/ most important
decision factor in the end: i see various unavoidable externalities
forcing us very much, and in the end we either like the result and make
it available to programmers, or we dont, and limit it to system-glue
glibc use - or we throw it away altogether. I'm curious about the end
result even if it gets limited or gets thrown away (joining 4:4 on the
way to the bit bucket ;) and while i'm cautiously optimistic that
something useful can come out of this, i cannot know it for sure at the
moment.

That is quite dissapointing to hear when weekely released kevent can
solve that problem already more than year ago - it was designed specially to
support every possible notification types and does support file
descriptor ones, VFS (dropped in current releases to reduce size) and
tons of other including POSIX times, signals, own high-performance AIO
(which was created as a a bit complex state machine over internals of
page population code) and essentially everything one can ever imagine
with quite a bit of code needed for new type.
I was requested to add waiting for futex through kevent queue - that is
quite simple task, but having complete lack of feedback and ignorance of
the project even from people who asked about its features, it looks like
there is no need for that at all.

I'm sorry, but you've obviously never maintained any piece of software

As long as you think that interfaces can change, this discussion is
pointless.

That is too cool phrase to be heared - if you will make me a favour and
reread what was written you will (hopefully) detect that there were no
words about interfaces being changed after put into the wild - talk was
only about time when system is designed and implemented, and there is
time for discussion about its rough edges - if its design is good, then
interface can be changed in a moment without any problem - that is what
we see with syslets right now - they are designed and implemented (the
formed was done several years ago), and it is time to shape its edges -
like change userspace API - it is easy, but you do not (want/like to)
see that.
> So go away, ponder things.

This isn't always the case. Sometimes the interface puts requirements
(contract-like) upon the implementation. Case in point in the kernel,
dnotify versus inotify. dnotify is a steaming pile of worthlessness,
because it's userspace interface is so bad (meaning inefficient) as to
be nearly unusable.
inotify has a different interface, one that supplies details about
events rather that mere notice that an event occurred, and therefore
has different requirements in implementation. dnotify probably was a
good design, but for a worthless interface.
The interface isn't always important, but it's certainly something
that has to be understood before putting the finishing touches on the
behind-the-scenes implementation.

Absolutely.
And if overall system design is good, there is no problem to change
(well, for those who fail to read to the end and understand my english
replace 'to change' with 'to create and commit') interface to the state
where it will satisfy all (majority of) users.
Situations when system is designed from interface down to system ends up
with one thread per IO and huge limitations on how system is going to be
used at all.

I'm sorry for meddling in conversation but I think Linus misunderstood
you. If I'm right you propose to "create and commit" _new_ interfaces
only? I mean _changing_ of interfaces exported to user space is
very painfull... for further support. Don't swear at me if I wrote

You might be right, but the point I (and others) are trying to make is
that there are some cases where you *really* need to understand the
users of the interface first. You might have everything else right
(userspace wants to know when filesystem changes occur, great), but if
you don't know what form those notifications have to look like, you'll
end up doing a lot of wasted work on a worthless piece of code that no
one will ever use.
Sometimes the interface really is the most important thing. Just like a
contract between people.
(This is probably why, by the way, most people are staying silent on
your excellent kevent work. The kernel side is, in some ways, the easy
part. It's getting an interface that will handle all users [ users ==
producers and consumers of kevents ], that is the hard bit.)
Or, let me put it yet another way: How do you prove to the rest of us
that you, or Ingo, or whomever, are not building another dnotify? (Maybe
you're smart enough in this problem space that you know you're not --
that's actually the most likely possibility. But you still have to prove
it to the rest of us. Sucks, I know.)
> Situations when system is designed from interface down to system ends up
> with one thread per IO and huge limitations on how system is going to be
> used at all.
The other side is you start from the goal in mind and get Ingo's state
machines with loops and conditionals and marmalade in syslets which
appear a bit baroque and overkill for the majority of us userspace folk.
(No offense intended to Ingo, he's obviously quite a bit more conversant
on the needs of high speed interfaces than I am. However, I suspect I
have a bit more clarity on what us normal folk would actually use, and
kernel driven FSMs ain't it. Userspace often makes a lot of contextual
decisions that I would absolutely *hate* to write and debug as a state
machine that gets handed off to the kernel. I'll happily take a 10% hit
in efficiency that Moore's law will get me back in a few months, instead
of spending a bunch of time debugging difficult heisenbugs due to the
syslet FSM reading a userspace variable at a slightly different time
once in a blue moon. OTOH, I'm also not Oracle, so what do I know?)
The truth of this lies somewhere in the middle. It isn't kernel driven,
or userspace interface driven, but a tradeoff between the two.
So:
> Userspace_API_is_the_ever_possible_last_thing_to_ever_think_about.
> Period
Please listen to those of us who are saying that this might not be the
case. Maybe we're idiots, but then again maybe we're not, okay?
Sometimes the API really *DOES* change the underlying implementation.

Yes, I only proposed to change what Ingo has right now - although it is
usable, but it does suck, but since overall syslet design is indeed good
it does not suffer from possible interface changes - so I said that it
can be trivially changed in that regard that until it is committed

Kevent interface was completely changed 4 (!) times for the last year
after kernel developers request without any damage to its kernel part.

I only want to say that when system is designed correctly there is no
problem to change interface (yes, I again said 'to change' just because
I hope everyone understand that I'm talking about time when system is
not yet committed to the tree).
Btw, dnotify had problems in its design highlighted at inotify statrt -
mainly that watchers were not attached to inode.
It is right now the time to ask users what interface they expect from
AIO - so I asked Linus and proposed three different ones, two of them
were designed in a way that user would not even know that some
allocation/freeing was done - and as a result I got 'you suck' response
exactly the same as was returned on the first syslet release - just
_anly_ fscking _just_ because it had ugly interface.

Well, I designed kevent AIO in the similar way, but it has even more
complex one which is built on top of internal page population functions.
It is complex a bit, but it works fast. And it works with any type (if I
would not be lazy and implement bindings) of AIO.
Interface of syslets is not perfect, but it can be changed (I said it
again? I think we all understand what I mean by that already) trivially
right now (before it is included) - it is not the way to throw thing
just because it has bad interface which can be extended in a moment.

It is exactly the time to say what interface sould be good.
System is almost ready - it is time to make it looks cool for users.

I think Evgeniy - you are right! For times of research _changing_ a lot
of things is almost a low. syslets are in test area and why should we
bound ourself in survey of best. If something in syslets is sucks so
lets change it as early as possible. Of course I mean no more interface
changing after some _commit_ point (and that should be Linus decision).

I do not get it. What if clet includes
int *a = 0; *a = 1; /* enjoy your oops, stupid kernel? */
I.e. how do you make sure kernel is protected from malicious clets?

Clets would execute in userspace, like signal handlers, but under the
special schedule() handler. In that way chains happens by the mean of
natural C code, and access to userspace variables happen by the mean of
natural C code too (not with special syscalls to manipulate userspace
memory). I'm not a big fan of chains of syscalls for the reasons I
already explained, but at least clets (or whatever name) has a way lower
cost for the programmer (easier to code than atom chains), and for the
kernel (no need of all that atom handling stuff, no need of limited
cond/jump interpreters in the kernel, and no need of nightmare compat
code).

or, better yet, as the next tasklet in the chain after the softirq
dispatcher, since I/Os almost always unblock as a result of something
that happens in an ISR or softirq

yep. That way you can exploit this nice hardware block called an MMU.

to a kernel programmer, all userspace programs are chains of syscalls. :-)

except you still have the 80% of the code that is half-assed exception
handling using overloaded semantics on function return values and a
thread-local errno, which is totally unsafe with fibrils, syslets,
clets, and giblets, since none of them promise to run continuations in
the same thread context as the submission. Of course you aren't going
to use errno as such, but that means that async-ifying code isn't
s/syscall/aio_syscall/, it's a complete rewrite. If you're going to
design a new AIO interface, please model it after the only standard
that has ever made deeply pipelined, massively parallel execution
programmer-friendly -- IEEE 754.

compat code, yes. nighmare, no. Just like kernel FP emulation on any
processor other than an x86. Unimplemented instruction traps. x86 is
so utterly the wrong architecture on which to prototype this it isn't
even funny.

This structure, with its unsigned longs and pointers, is going to
create enormous headaches for 32-bit processes on 64-bit machines as
far as I can see---and on ppc64 machines, almost all processes are
32-bit, since there is no inherent speed penalty for running in 32-bit
mode, and some space savings.
Have you thought about how you will handle compatibility for 32-bit
processes? The issue will arise for x86_64 and ia64 (among others)
too, I would think.
Paul.

IMHO, what is needed is an event registration switch-board that handles
notifications from the kernel and the user side respectively.
