From 731456ca13e190e0fbf1621b2d79c6a4937c333a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Daniel=20P=2E=20Berrang=C3=A9?= Date: Mon, 7 Mar 2022 11:11:48 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] nwfilter: merge updateMutex and updateLock MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The updateLock is a R/W lock held by anything which needs to read or modify the rules associated with an NWFilter. APIs for defining/undefining NW filters rules hold a write lock on updateLock. APIs for creating/deleting NW filter bindings hold a read lock on updateLock, which prevents define/undefine taking place concurrently. The problems arise when we attempt to creating two NW filter bindings in parallel. Thread 1 can acquire the mutex for filter A Thread 2 can acquire the mutex for filter B Consider if filters A and B both reference filters C and D, but in different orders: Filter A -> filter C -> filter D Filter B -> filter D -> filter C Thread 1 will try to acquire locks in order A, C, D while thread 1 will try to acquire in order A, D, C. Deadlock can still occur. Think we can sort the list of filters before acquiring locks on all of them ? Nope, we allow arbitrary recursion: Filter A -> filter C -> filter E -> filter F -> filter H -> filter K -> filter D -> filter G -> filter I So we can't tell from looking at 'A' which filters we're going to need to lock. We can only see the first level of filters references and we need to lock those before we can see the second level of filters, etc. We could probably come up with some cleverness to address this but it isn't worth the time investment. It is simpler to just keep the process of creating NW filter bindings totally serialized. Using two separate locks for this serialization though is pointless. Every code path which gets a read(updateLock) will go on to hold updateMutex. It is simpler to just hold write(updateLock) and get rid of updateMutex. At that point we don't need updateLock to be a R/W lock, it can be a plain mutex. Thus this patch gets rid of the current updateLock and updateMutex and introduces a new top level updateMutex. This has a secondary benefit of introducing fairness into the locking. With a POSIX R/W lock, you get writer starvation if you have lots of readers. IOW, if we call virNWFilterBIndingCreate and virNWFilterBindingDelete in a tight loop from a couple of threads, we can prevent virNWFilterDefine from ever acquiring a write lock. Getting rid of the R/W lock gives us FIFO lock acquisition preventing starvation of any API call servicing. Signed-off-by: Daniel P.
