From 5bc78502322a5e4eef3f1b2a2813751dc6434143 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mathieu Desnoyers Date: Tue, 20 Oct 2020 09:47:13 -0400 Subject: sched: fix exit_mm vs membarrier (v4) exit_mm should issue memory barriers after user-space memory accesses, before clearing current->mm, to order user-space memory accesses performed prior to exit_mm before clearing tsk->mm, which has the effect of skipping the membarrier private expedited IPIs. exit_mm should also update the runqueue's membarrier_state so membarrier global expedited IPIs are not sent when they are not needed. The membarrier system call can be issued concurrently with do_exit if we have thread groups created with CLONE_VM but not CLONE_THREAD. Here is the scenario I have in mind: Two thread groups are created, A and B. Thread group B is created by issuing clone from group A with flag CLONE_VM set, but not CLONE_THREAD. Let's assume we have a single thread within each thread group (Thread A and Thread B). The AFAIU we can have: Userspace variables: int x = 0, y = 0; CPU 0 CPU 1 Thread A Thread B (in thread group A) (in thread group B) x = 1 barrier() y = 1 exit() exit_mm() current->mm = NULL; r1 = load y membarrier() skips CPU 0 (no IPI) because its current mm is NULL r2 = load x BUG_ON(r1 == 1 && r2 == 0) Signed-off-by: Mathieu Desnoyers Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20201020134715.13909-2-mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com --- include/linux/sched/mm.h | 5 +++++ 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+) (limited to 'include') diff --git a/include/linux/sched/mm.h b/include/linux/sched/mm.h index d5ece7a9a403..a91fb3ad9ec7 100644 --- a/include/linux/sched/mm.h +++ b/include/linux/sched/mm.h @@ -347,6 +347,8 @@ static inline void membarrier_mm_sync_core_before_usermode(struct mm_struct *mm) extern void membarrier_exec_mmap(struct mm_struct *mm); +extern void membarrier_update_current_mm(struct mm_struct *next_mm); + #else #ifdef CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_MEMBARRIER_CALLBACKS static inline void membarrier_arch_switch_mm(struct mm_struct *prev, @@ -361,6 +363,9 @@ static inline void membarrier_exec_mmap(struct mm_struct *mm) static inline void membarrier_mm_sync_core_before_usermode(struct mm_struct *mm) { } +static inline void membarrier_update_current_mm(struct mm_struct *next_mm) +{ +} #endif #endif /* _LINUX_SCHED_MM_H */ -- cgit v1.2.3
