SubjectRe: [PATCH 3/3] spinlock_debug: panic on recursive lock spin_dump()

after some thinking... no, this will not do the trick. one byte is not
enough for recursion counter -- we can have 8K CPUs on the system and
8K-1 cpus can "suspect a lockup". so, a slightly different approach:

1) split ->owner_cpu 4 bytes in struct raw_spinlock
unsigned short owner_cpu;
unsigned short recursion;

I still can use only ->owner_cpu, but it's much easier when they are
apart. with a single 4 byte variable for recursion and cpu owner we
need to take extra care of higher 2 bytes every time we touch the
->owner_cpu

CPU1 CPU2
spin_dump
->owner_cpu[recursion_bits] += 1 spin_unlock
->owner_cpu = -1
^^^ need to store cpu_id in
lower 2 bytes, avoiding
overwrite of 2 higher bytes, etc.
->owner_cpu[recursion_bits] -= 1

which is fragile and ugly.


2) ->recursion has most significant bit for spin_bug() bit, the
remaining bits are for recursion counter.

spin_bug() does
set SPIN_BUG bit (most significant bit)
spin_dump
clear SPIN_BUG bit

spin_dump() does
read SPIN_BUG bit
inc ->recursion
do_checks
printk...
dec ->recursion

and the do_checks is:

-- "if the SPIN_BUG bit is set AND recursion counter > NR_CPUS"
then we have a spin_bug() recursion on at least one of the CPUs
and we need to panic the system

printk
spin_lock
spin_bug
spin_dump
printk
spin_lock
spin_bug
spin_dump
...


-- "if the SPIN_BUG bit is clear AND recursion counter >= SHRT_MAX/2"
then we have spin_dump() recursion (16K calls.. can be bigger) and
we need to panic the system. if recursion counter < SHRT_MAX/2 - keep
going. "suspected soft lockup" potentially can be resolved (the lock
owner unlocks the lock), so we need to have a big enough limit before
we declare panic().

printk
spin_lock
spin_dump
printk
spin_lock
spin_dump
...

I guess I'll I'll start a new thread with the next submission, to
refresh it.

RFC, any opinions are appreciated.
not yet tested code.
