Re: [PATCH v2 1/3] Mutex: Accelerate lock acquisition by queuing spinner


On 20/12/18 11:45 AM, Kemi Wang wrote:
Adaptive mutex indicates the semantic of spinning for a while before
calling into the kernel to block. Thus, the lock of adaptive mutex could be
acquired via immediate getting, spinning getting or waking up.

Currently, the spin-waiting algorithm of adaptive mutex is for each
processor to repeatedly execute an test_and_set instruction until either
the maximum spin count is reached or the  lock is acquired. However, the
lock performance via spinning getting will degrade significantly as the
number of spinning processors increases. Two factors at least cause this
degradation[1]. First, in order to release the lock, the lock holder has to
contend with spinning processors for exclusive access of lock cache line.
(E.g. "lock; decl 0%" of lll_unlock() in
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/lowlevellock.h for pthread_mutex_unlock()).
For most multiprocessor architectures, it has to wait behind those
test_and_set instructions from spinning processors.
Furthermore, on these invalidation-based cache coherency system,
test_and_set instruction will trigger a "read-for-ownership" request for
exclusive access to the lock cache line, it will potentially slow the
access of other locations(shares the cache line with the lock at least) by
the lock holder.

In this patch, we propose another spin-waiting algorithm to accelerate
lock acquisition by queuing spinners based-on MCS[2] lock. With MCS
algorithm, only the header of queue is allowed to spin on the mutex lock,
others spin on locally-accessible flag variables. Thus, the previous
negative factors are eliminated.

The implementation of this MCS-based spin-waiting algorithm requires an
additional pointer to hold the tail of queue. To keep the size of mutex
data structure consistent and maintain the user space ABI unchanged, the
__list field which is originally for implementing robust futex will be
reused. Therefore, we propose a new type mutex with GNU extension
PTHREAD_MUTEX_QUEUESPINNER_NP in this patch.

Pass the ABI compatibility test by running "make check-abi"

The benchmark is available at branch mutex_testing in
https://github.com/kemicoco/tst-spinlock.git.
The tunable pthread.mutex_spin_count is set to 10000 which is big enough in
our testing for fair comparison.

Outdated comment? It seems to refer to a tunable that doesn't exist in the patchset.

The first test case emulates a practical workload with mathematical
calculation.
The second test case provided by our customer emulates the lock contention
in a distributed file system.

Each workload runs with multiple threads in parallel, each workload does
a) Acquire the lock;
b) Do some work in critical section;
c) Unlock
d) Wait a random time (0~3000 TSCs)
in a loop until 5 seconds, and obtain the total iterations.

It would be great to add these or some variant of these tests to benchtests. That would help other architectures test if this feature is more broadly useful.

Testing on 2s-Skylake platform (112 cores with 62G RAM, HT=on).

Potential issues:
a) As the preemption can't be disabled at userland during spinning, MCS
style lock potentially has the risk to collapse lock performance when CPUs
are heavily oversubscribed. But generally, MCS-based spin-waiting algorithm
performs much better than the existed one. We may consider to mitigate this
issue by using a cancellable MCS to prevent unnecessary active waiting in
future.

   a) Add one line description before copyright in new files
   b) Add one entry to introduce this new type of mutex with GNU
   PTHREAD_MUTEX_QUEUESPINNER_NP extension in NEWS

Change needs a ChangeLog entry. Also, adding a new type means that you also have to update the pretty printing python script, i.e. nptl/nptl-printers.py. In general I don't think this is suitable for inclusion at this stage but I've done a review to help you move forward. The change is isolated enough that you may be able to backport it after the release but that's a decision to make once the final version of the patch is included, hopefully in 2.30.

The loop reads the lock value till it finds that it is unlocked. It then proceeds to a MUTEX_LOCK (after mcs_unlock), which means that there's a race window where a thread proceeds to LLL_MUTEX_LOCK only to find that another thread has raced ahead and taken the mutex. Is that expected behaviour?
