Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi says: ==================== Arena Spin Lock This set provides an implementation of queued spin lock for arena. There is no support for resiliency and recovering from deadlocks yet. We will wait for the rqspinlock patch set to land before incorporating support. One minor change compared to the qspinlock algorithm in the kernel is that we don't have the trylock fallback when nesting count exceeds 4. The maximum number of supported CPUs is 1024, but this can be increased in the future if necessary. The API supports returning an error, so resiliency support can be added in the future. Callers are still expected to check for and handle any potential errors. Errors are returned when the spin loops time out, when the number of CPUs is greater than 1024, or when the extreme edge case of NMI interrupting NMI interrupting HardIRQ interrupting SoftIRQ interrupting task, all of them simultaneously in slow path, occurs, which is unsupported. Changelog: ---------- v4 -> v5 v4: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20250305045136.2614132-1-memxor@gmail.com * Add better comment and document LLVM bug for __unqual_typeof. * Switch to precise counting in the selftest and simplify test. * Add comment about return value handling. * Reduce size for 100k to 50k to cap test runtime. v3 -> v4 v3: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20250305011849.1168917-1-memxor@gmail.com * Drop extra corruption handling case in decode_tail. * Stick to 1, 1k, 100k critical section sizes. * Fix unqual_typeof to not cast away arena tag for pointers. * Remove hack to skip first qnode. * Choose 100 as repeat count, 1000 is too much for 100k size. * Use pthread_barrier in test. v2 -> v3 v2: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20250118162238.2621311-1-memxor@gmail.com * Rename to arena_spin_lock * Introduce cond_break_label macro to jump to label from cond_break. * Drop trylock fallback when nesting count exceeds 4. * Fix bug in try_cmpxchg implementation. * Add tests with critical sections of varying lengths. * Add comments for _Generic trick to drop __arena tag. * Fix bug due to qnodes being placed on first page, leading to CPU 0's node being indistinguishable from NULL. v1 -> v2 v1: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20250117223754.1020174-1-memxor@gmail.com * Fix definition of lock in selftest ==================== Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20250306035431.2186189-1-memxor@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
