Modifying * operations must be enclosed within a transaction delineated by * seq_write_beg/seq_write_end. The trick works by having the writer increment * the sequence number twice, at the beginning and end of the transaction. * The reader detects that the sequence number has not changed between its start * and end, and that the sequence 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); * seq_write_begin(&obj->seq); * obj->var1 = ...; * obj->var2 = ...; * seq_write_end(&obj->seq); * unlock_exclusive(&obj->lock); * * readers: * int var1, var2; * seq_t seq; * * for (;;) { * seq = seq_read(&obj->seq); * var1 = obj->var1; * var2 = obj->var2; * if (seq_consistent(&obj->seq, seq)) * 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 seq_in_modify(seq_t seqp) { return (seqp & 1); } static __inline void seq_write_begin(seq_t *seqp) { critical_enter(); MPASS(!seq_in_modify(*seqp)); *seqp += 1; atomic_thread_fence_rel(); } static __inline void seq_write_end(seq_t *seqp) { atomic_store_rel_32(seqp, *seqp + 1); MPASS(!seq_in_modify(*seqp)); critical_exit(); } static __inline seq_t seq_read(const seq_t *seqp) { seq_t ret; for (;;) { ret = atomic_load_acq_32(__DECONST(seq_t *, seqp)); if (seq_in_modify(ret)) { cpu_spinwait(); continue; } break; } return (ret); } static __inline seq_t seq_consistent_nomb(const seq_t *seqp, seq_t oldseq) { return (*seqp == oldseq); } static __inline seq_t seq_consistent(const seq_t *seqp, seq_t oldseq) { atomic_thread_fence_acq(); return (seq_consistent_nomb(seqp, oldseq)); } #endif /* _KERNEL */ #endif /* _SYS_SEQ_H_ */
