5 * membarrier system call
10 * For documentation purposes, here are some membarrier ordering
11 * scenarios to keep in mind:
13 * A) Userspace thread execution after IPI vs membarrier's memory
14 * barrier before sending the IPI
16 * Userspace variables:
20 * The memory barrier at the start of membarrier() on CPU0 is necessary in
21 * order to enforce the guarantee that any writes occurring on CPU0 before
22 * the membarrier() is executed will be visible to any code executing on
23 * CPU1 after the IPI-induced memory barrier:
30 * b: send IPI IPI-induced mb
37 * BUG_ON(r1 == 0 && r2 == 0)
39 * The write to y and load from x by CPU1 are unordered by the hardware,
40 * so it's possible to have "r1 = x" reordered before "y = 1" at any
41 * point after (b). If the memory barrier at (a) is omitted, then "x = 1"
42 * can be reordered after (a) (although not after (c)), so we get r1 == 0
43 * and r2 == 0. This violates the guarantee that membarrier() is
44 * supposed by provide.
46 * The timing of the memory barrier at (a) has to ensure that it executes
47 * before the IPI-induced memory barrier on CPU1.
49 * B) Userspace thread execution before IPI vs membarrier's memory
50 * barrier after completing the IPI
52 * Userspace variables:
56 * The memory barrier at the end of membarrier() on CPU0 is necessary in
57 * order to enforce the guarantee that any writes occurring on CPU1 before
58 * the membarrier() is executed will be visible to any code executing on
59 * CPU0 after the membarrier():
69 * b: send IPI IPI-induced mb
72 * BUG_ON(r1 == 0 && r2 == 1)
74 * The writes to x and y are unordered by the hardware, so it's possible to
75 * have "r2 = 1" even though the write to x doesn't execute until (b). If
76 * the memory barrier at (c) is omitted then "r1 = x" can be reordered
77 * before (b) (although not before (a)), so we get "r1 = 0". This violates
78 * the guarantee that membarrier() is supposed to provide.
80 * The timing of the memory barrier at (c) has to ensure that it executes
81 * after the IPI-induced memory barrier on CPU1.
83 * C) Scheduling userspace thread -> kthread -> userspace thread vs membarrier
89 * d: switch to kthread (includes mb)
90 * b: read rq->curr->mm == NULL
91 * e: switch to user (includes mb)
94 * Using the scenario from (A), we can show that (a) needs to be paired
95 * with (e). Using the scenario from (B), we can show that (c) needs to
98 * D) exit_mm vs membarrier
100 * Two thread groups are created, A and B. Thread group B is created by
101 * issuing clone from group A with flag CLONE_VM set, but not CLONE_THREAD.
102 * Let's assume we have a single thread within each thread group (Thread A
103 * and Thread B). Thread A runs on CPU0, Thread B runs on CPU1.
111 * e: current->mm = NULL
112 * b: read rq->curr->mm == NULL
115 * Using scenario (B), we can show that (c) needs to be paired with (d).
117 * E) kthread_{use,unuse}_mm vs membarrier
125 * e: current->mm = NULL
126 * b: read rq->curr->mm == NULL
128 * f: current->mm = mm
132 * Using the scenario from (A), we can show that (a) needs to be paired
133 * with (g). Using the scenario from (B), we can show that (c) needs to
134 * be paired with (d).
138 * Bitmask made from a "or" of all commands within enum membarrier_cmd,
139 * except MEMBARRIER_CMD_QUERY.
