mm/page_alloc: replace local_lock with normal spinlock
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
struct per_cpu_pages is no longer strictly local as PCP lists can be
drained remotely using a lock for protection.  While the use of local_lock
works, it goes against the intent of local_lock which is for "pure CPU
local concurrency control mechanisms and not suited for inter-CPU
concurrency control" (Documentation/locking/locktypes.rst)

local_lock protects against migration between when the percpu pointer is
accessed and the pcp->lock acquired.  The lock acquisition is a preemption
point so in the worst case, a task could migrate to another NUMA node and
accidentally allocate remote memory.  The main requirement is to pin the
task to a CPU that is suitable for PREEMPT_RT and !PREEMPT_RT.

Replace local_lock with helpers that pin a task to a CPU, lookup the
per-cpu structure and acquire the embedded lock.  It's similar to
local_lock without breaking the intent behind the API.  It is not a
complete API as only the parts needed for PCP-alloc are implemented but in
theory, the generic helpers could be promoted to a general API if there
was demand for an embedded lock within a per-cpu struct with a guarantee
that the per-cpu structure locked matches the running CPU and cannot use
get_cpu_var due to RT concerns.  PCP requires these semantics to avoid
accidentally allocating remote memory.
