Modifying * operations must be enclosed within a transaction delineated by * seqc_write_beg/seqc_write_end. The trick works by having the writer increment * the seqcuence number twice, at the beginning and end of the transaction. * The reader detects that the seqcuence number has not changed between its start * and end, and that the seqcuence number is even, to validate consistency. * * Some fencing (both hard fencing and compiler barriers) may be needed, * depending on the cpu. Modern AMD cpus provide strong enough guarantees to not * require any fencing by the reader or writer. * * Example usage: * * writers: * lock_exclusive(&obj->lock); * seqc_write_begin(&obj->seqc); * obj->var1 = ...; * obj->var2 = ...; * seqc_write_end(&obj->seqc); * unlock_exclusive(&obj->lock); * * readers: * int var1, var2; * seqc_t seqc; * * for (;;) { * seqc = seqc_read(&obj->seqc); * var1 = obj->var1; * var2 = obj->var2; * if (seqc_consistent(&obj->seqc, seqc)) * break; * } * ..... * * Writers may not block or sleep in any way. * * There are 2 minor caveats in this implementation: * * 1. There is no guarantee of progress. That is, a large number of writers can * interfere with the execution of the readers and cause the code to live-lock * in a loop trying to acquire a consistent snapshot. * * 2. If the reader loops long enough, the counter may overflow and eventually * wrap back to its initial value, fooling the reader into accepting the * snapshot. Given that this needs 4 billion transactional writes across a * single contended reader, it is unlikely to ever happen. */ /* A hack to get MPASS macro */ #include #include static __inline bool seqc_in_modify(seqc_t seqcp) { return (seqcp & 1); } static __inline void seqc_write_begin(seqc_t *seqcp) { critical_enter(); MPASS(!seqc_in_modify(*seqcp)); *seqcp += 1; atomic_thread_fence_rel(); } static __inline void seqc_write_end(seqc_t *seqcp) { atomic_store_rel_int(seqcp, *seqcp + 1); MPASS(!seqc_in_modify(*seqcp)); critical_exit(); } static __inline seqc_t seqc_read(const seqc_t *seqcp) { seqc_t ret; for (;;) { ret = atomic_load_acq_int(__DECONST(seqc_t *, seqcp)); if (seqc_in_modify(ret)) { cpu_spinwait(); continue; } break; } return (ret); } static __inline seqc_t seqc_consistent_nomb(const seqc_t *seqcp, seqc_t oldseqc) { return (*seqcp == oldseqc); } static __inline seqc_t seqc_consistent(const seqc_t *seqcp, seqc_t oldseqc) { atomic_thread_fence_acq(); return (seqc_consistent_nomb(seqcp, oldseqc)); } #endif /* _KERNEL */ #endif /* _SYS_SEQC_H_ */
