For a full analysis of both the pthread_rwlock_tryrdlock() stall and the pthread_rwlock_trywrlock() stall see: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23844#c14 In the pthread_rwlock_trydlock() function we fail to inspect for PTHREAD_RWLOCK_FUTEX_USED in __wrphase_futex and wake the waiting readers. In the pthread_rwlock_trywrlock() function we write 1 to __wrphase_futex and loose the setting of the PTHREAD_RWLOCK_FUTEX_USED bit, again failing to wake waiting readers during unlock. The fix in the case of pthread_rwlock_trydlock() is to check for PTHREAD_RWLOCK_FUTEX_USED and wake the readers. The fix in the case of pthread_rwlock_trywrlock() is to only write 1 to __wrphase_futex if we installed the write phase, since all other readers would be spinning waiting for this step. We add two new tests, one exercises the stall for pthread_rwlock_trywrlock() which is easy to exercise, and one exercises the stall for pthread_rwlock_trydlock() which is harder to exercise. The pthread_rwlock_trywrlock() test fails consistently without the fix, and passes after. The pthread_rwlock_tryrdlock() test fails roughly 5-10% of the time without the fix, and passes all the time after.

Summary for the pthread_rwlock_trywrlock() stall:
|
|
|
|
The stall is caused by pthread_rwlock_trywrlock setting
|
|
__wrphase_futex futex to 1 and loosing the
|
|
PTHREAD_RWLOCK_FUTEX_USED bit.
|
|
|
|
The fix for bug 23844 ensures that waiters on __wrphase_futex are
|
|
correctly woken. Before the fix the test stalls as readers can
|
|
wait forever on __wrphase_futex. */
