cover hrtimers: Switch to new hrtimer interface functions (1/5)

This is the first part of a 5-part series (split for convenience). All 5 parts are:

Part 1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/[email protected]
Part 2: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/[email protected]
Part 3: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/[email protected]
Part 4: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/[email protected]
Part 5: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/[email protected]

To use hrtimer, hrtimer_init() (or one of its variant) must be called, and also the timer's callfack function must be setup separately.

That can cause misuse of hrtimer. For example, because:
- The callback function is not setup
- The callback function is setup while it is not safe to do so

To prevent misuse of hrtimer, this series:
- Introduce new functions hrtimer_setup*(). These new functions are similar to hrtimer_init*(), except that they also sanity-check and initialize the callback function.
- Introduce hrtimer_update_function() which checks that it is safe to change the callback function. The 'function' field of hrtimer is then made private.
- Convert all users to use the new functions.
- Some minor cleanups on the way.

Most conversion patches were created using Coccinelle with the sematic patch below; except for tricky cases that Coccinelle cannot handle, or for some cases where a Coccinelle's bug regarding 100 column limit is triggered. Any patches not mentioning Coccinelle were done manually.

PATCH 1/21 hrtimers: Add missing hrtimer_init event trace points

There is the "hrtimer_init" trace event when hrtimer gets initialized. This event should also be triggered in hrtimer_init_on_stack() and hrtimer_init_sleeper_on_stack(), which is not the case if CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_TIMERS=y.

Make sure the "hrtimer_init" trace event is triggered properly by introducing debug_init_on_stack() which is analogous to debug_init() and call this function in hrtimer_init_on_stack() and hrtimer_init_sleeper_on_stack(). These two functions now each have a single implementation regardless of CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_TIMERS, similar to hrtimer_init() and hrtimer_init_sleeper().

PATCH 3/21 drm/i915/request: Remove unnecessary abuse of hrtimer::function

In reply to Nam Cao

When a request is created, the hrtimer is not initialized and only its 'function' field is set to NULL. The hrtimer is only initialized when the request is enqueued. The point of setting 'function' to NULL is that, it can be used to check whether hrtimer_try_to_cancel() should be called while retiring the request.

This "trick" is unnecessary, because hrtimer_try_to_cancel() already does its own check whether the timer is armed. If the timer is not armed, hrtimer_try_to_cancel() returns 0.

Remove the abuse of hrtimer::function and fully initialize the timer when the request is created. Then, hrtimer_try_to_cancel() can be called without touching the 'function' field.

Because hrtimer_try_to_cancel() returns 0 if the timer is not armed, the logic to check whether to call i915_request_put() remains equivalent.

PATCH 4/21 KVM: x86/xen: Initialize hrtimer in kvm_xen_init_vcpu()

In reply to Nam Cao

The hrtimer is initialized in the KVM_XEN_VCPU_SET_ATTR ioctl. That caused problem in the past, because the hrtimer can be initialized multiple times, which was fixed by commit af735db31285 ("KVM: x86/xen: Initialize Xen timer only once"). This commit avoids initializing the timer multiple times by checking the field 'function' of struct hrtimer to determine if it has already been initialized.

Instead of "abusing" the 'function' field, move the hrtimer initialization into kvm_xen_init_vcpu() so that it will only be initialized once.

Ideally I can route it through my tree to avoid a full release delay as the subsequent changes depend on this and the core hrtimer API changes.

PATCH 5/21 can: bcm: Don't initialized an unused hrtimer

In reply to Nam Cao

The hrtimer "thrtimer" is not used for TX. But this timer is initialized regardless.

Remove the hrtimer_init() for the unused hrtimer and change bcm_remove_op() to make sure hrtimer_cancel() is not called with the uninitialized hrtimer.

The hrtimer "thrtimer" is not used for TX. But this timer is initialized regardless.

Remove the hrtimer_init() for the unused hrtimer and change bcm_remove_op() to make sure hrtimer_cancel() is not called with the uninitialized hrtimer.

NAK.

There are several other occurrences of thrtimer that are not covered by RX/TX distinction, where the second timer is canceled.

This one-time init and cancel of an unused hrtimer costs nearly nothing and is not even in any hot path.

So this incomplete patch only adds complexity and potential error cases in some 20 y/o code for nothing.

Therefore I would like to skip it.

Thanks,
Oliver

Your concerns are also valid. So I can drop this patch, and use a dummy function to make hrtimer_setup() happy, like how it's done for the rt2x00 driver [3]. It will make the driver a bit ugly, but it's obvious that it won't cause any regression.

Re: [PATCH 05/21] can: bcm: Don't initialized an unused hrtimer

Just an additional idea:

Would it probably make sense to create a generic dummy function for all those cases like in the referenced rt2x00 driver?

E.g. as (inline?) function in hrtimer.h

enum hrtimer_restart hrtimer_nop_callback(struct hrtimer *timer)

{
	return HRTIMER_NORESTART;

PATCH 6/21 wifi: rt2x00: Remove redundant hrtimer_init()

rt2x00usb_probe() executes a hrtimer_init() for txstatus_timer. Afterwards, rt2x00lib_probe_dev() is called which also initializes this txstatus_timer with the same settings.

Remove the redundant hrtimer_init() call in rt2x00usb_probe().

PATCH 7/21 io_uring: Remove redundant hrtimer's callback function setup

In reply to Nam Cao

The IORING_OP_TIMEOUT command uses hrtimer underneath. The timer's callback function is setup in io_timeout(), and then the callback function is setup again when the timer is rearmed.

Since the callback function is the same for both cases, the latter setup is redundant, therefore remove it.

PATCH 8/21 hrtimers: Introduce hrtimer_setup() to replace hrtimer_init()

In reply to Nam Cao

To initialize hrtimer, hrtimer_init() needs to be called and also struct hrtimer::function must be set. Introduce hrtimer_setup() which does both of these things, so that users of hrtimer can be simplified.

The new function also does sanity check on the callback function pointer from user. If the function pointer is invalid, initialize 'function' with a dummy callback, so that the kernel doesn't blow up later on.

hrtimer_init() will be removed as soon as all of its users have been converted to the new function.

PATCH 11/21 hrtimers: Introduce hrtimer_update_function()

In reply to Nam Cao

Some users of hrtimer need to change the callback function after the initial setup, and they touch the 'function' field of struct hrtimer directly. However, directly changing the 'function' field is not safe under all circumstances. It's only safe when the hrtimer is not enqueued.

Introduce hrtimer_update_function() helper function, which also performs runtime checks whether it is safe (i.e. the timer is not enqueued).

The field 'function' of struct hrtimer will be changed to private in the future.

There is a newly introduced function hrtimer_setup_sleeper_on_stack() which will replace hrtimer_init_sleeper_on_stack().

This function is the same as the old hrtimer_init_sleeper_on_stack(), but it was introduced to keep the names consistent with other changes with hrtimer.

Switch to use the new function.

PATCH 13/21 futex: Switch to use hrtimer_setup_sleeper_on_stack()

In reply to Nam Cao

There is a newly introduced hrtimer_setup_sleeper_on_stack() which will replace hrtimer_init_sleeper_on_stack(). Switch to use this new function.

This function is the same as the old hrtimer_init_sleeper_on_stack(), but it was introduced to keep the names consistent with other changes with hrtimer.

Patch was created by using Coccinelle.

Nobody needs more work. But as we (as a community) can't agree on how to post a 150+ patch series with a potential cc list of 200+ people and a gazillion of mailing lists, there are only a few options left. And yes, any model will annoy some people...

You at least got the cover letter, no?

I'm tired of posting a "Add new API/infrastructure" patch and then finally 5 years later having the last newly added offender converted over. I rather inflict the pain once, but obviously there is no way to please everyone.

Quoted 1 line

I'm happy to personally bounce you the pile if you insist or alternatively annoy everyone with a resend of the full glory as well.

Not sure what that buys, but one thing is sure that we both wasted 10 times more time debating this nonsense than what it would have cost you to look at the full mail thread which is in your LKML folder anyway.

Ideally I can just collect acks and route them through my tree. Last time we did this helper first and subsystems grab it took ages and lots of chasing to get it done.

Thanks,
