v8 cover rust: helpers: add SRCU helpers

The immediate motivation is the Tyr reset infrastructure [1] which needs to serialize reset sensitive hardware access against reset and teardown paths. That reset series started to require many independent dependencies so this SRCU support is split out as a standalone Rust API to keep the reset series focused on the reset logic and easier to review, rebase and land.

Changes since v7:

- Moved synchronize_srcu() call inside "if srcu_readers_active()" condition in "impl PinnedDrop for Srcu".
- Improved comments on the synchronize_srcu() call in "impl PinnedDrop for Srcu".

v7: https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]

Changes since v6:

- Removed "CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC" condition from "rust/helpers/srcu.c" and created a simple wrapper inside "include/linux/srcu.h" for it.

v6: https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]

Changes since v5:

- Created separate srcu_readers_active() variants for "srcutiny.h" and "srcutree.h".

v5: https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]

Changes since v4:

- Exposed srcu_readers_active from C side and wired it to the Rust helpers.
- Used srcu_readers_active() in SRCU drop and logged with pr_warn if there are leaked guards during the drop.

v4: https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]

Changes since v3 (which are for Sashiko notes [2]):

- Added rust helpers for srcu_barrier() and synchronize_srcu_expedited() so the abstraction builds with CONFIG_TINY_SRCU, where these are static inline functions.
- Added missing INVARIANT comment in Srcu::new() about why the type invariants hold after successful initialization.

v3: https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]

Changes since v2:

- Removed closure-based API.
- Added #[doc(hidden)] on new_srcu macro.
- Added #[must_use..] on srcu::Guard.
- Improved the clean-up path (PinnedDrop implementation) which eventually made read_lock safe with leaked guards.

v2: https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]

Changes since v1:

- Made the owned SRCU read-side guard API unsafe and added a safe closure based helper for callers that do not need to keep the guard. This is to avoid UB on the C side cleanup_srcu_struct where the SRCU struct is freed while there are still active guards, which can happen if the caller leaks the guard e.g., with mem::forget().
- Improved doc comments.

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]

This looks like a different strategy than, say, how mutex handles lockdep. IMO the way that mutex handles this is more clear.

If we follow the way mutex is handles this, the init_srcu_struct would always create lock class key and forward to __init_srcu_struct, and __init_srcu_struct is an inline function that either calls init_srcu_struct_lockdep with all args, or discard name/key and forward to init_srcu_struct_mutex.

This is beneficial because the usage flows one way. You don't have in one config init_srcu_struct call __init_srcu_struct and have the opposite in another config, which I think can be quite confusing.

Gary

Initially it was the same strategy, this one was suggested by Paul [1] and it didn't sound like a bad idea to me. Also, in previous revisions, Boqun once said:

"Having a "#ifdef" in a function body is generally considered as bad code (I know we have some of these in rust helpers, but helpers are a bit special and maybe we should clean them up). So could you move this function into include/linux/srcutiny.h and include/linux/srcutree.h?"

So putting them together, I decided to follow Paul's suggestion.

mutex.h doesn't use ifdef inside function body, it just define two static inline functions with the same signature in different ifdef branches.

True, but SRCU has the added complication of having different !SMP (Tiny) and SMP (Tree) implementations. On the other hand, it is quite possible that I missed a trick when setting up this part of SRCU. Please feel free to send a patch that simplifies it.

Thanx, Paul

mutex.h doesn't use ifdef inside function body, it just define two static inline functions with the same signature in different ifdef branches.

True, but SRCU has the added complication of having different !SMP (Tiny) and SMP (Tree) implementations. On the other hand, it is quite possible that I missed a trick when setting up this part of SRCU. Please feel free to send a patch that simplifies it.

It's on the list [1].

Thanks,
Onur

So putting them together, I decided to follow Paul's suggestion.

If we follow the way mutex is handles this, the init_srcu_struct would always create lock class key and forward to __init_srcu_struct, and __init_srcu_struct is an inline function that either calls init_srcu_struct_lockdep with all args, or discard name/key and forward to init_srcu_struct_mutex.

This is beneficial because the usage flows one way. You don't have in one config init_srcu_struct call __init_srcu_struct and have the opposite in another config, which I think can be quite confusing.

PATCH v8 2/4 srcu: expose srcu_readers_active()

In reply to Onur Özkan

This is needed by rust/helpers/srcu.c which now adds rust_helper_srcu_readers_active() as a wrapper around the SRCU helper for Rust callers.

To achive this:

1- Move the srcu_readers_active() implementation from
"kernel/rcu/srcutree.c" to "include/linux/srcutree.h".

2- Implement a matching srcu_readers_active() in
"include/linux/srcutiny.h" and use it on the existing open-coded WARN_ON() check in cleanup_srcu_struct().

PATCH v8 3/4 rust: sync: add SRCU abstraction

In reply to Onur Özkan

Add a Rust abstraction for sleepable RCU (SRCU), backed by C srcu_struct. Provide FFI helpers and a safe wrapper with a guard-based API for read-side critical sections.

Cleanup is handled via PinnedDrop. It first checks for active read-side sections and emits a warning if any guards were leaked. In that case, it waits in synchronize_srcu() rather than risking a UAF by freeing the srcu_struct that is still reachable from the C side. It then uses srcu_barrier() to drain pending callbacks before finally calling cleanup_srcu_struct().
