From f7ec1cd5cc7ef3ad964b677ba82b8b77f1c93009 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov oleg@redhat.com Date: Mon, 22 Jan 2024 16:50:53 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] getrusage: use sig->stats_lock rather than lock_task_sighand()
lock_task_sighand() can trigger a hard lockup. If NR_CPUS threads call getrusage() at the same time and the process has NR_THREADS, spin_lock_irq will spin with irqs disabled O(NR_CPUS * NR_THREADS) time.
Change getrusage() to use sig->stats_lock, it was specifically designed for this type of use. This way it runs lockless in the likely case.
TODO: - Change do_task_stat() to use sig->stats_lock too, then we can remove spin_lock_irq(siglock) in wait_task_zombie().
- Turn sig->stats_lock into seqcount_rwlock_t, this way the readers in the slow mode won't exclude each other. See https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230913154907.GA26210@redhat.com/
- stats_lock has to disable irqs because ->siglock can be taken in irq context, it would be very nice to change __exit_signal() to avoid the siglock->stats_lock dependency.
