locking/local_lock, mm: replace localtry_ helpers with local_trylock_…
…t type Partially revert commit 0aaddfb ("locking/local_lock: Introduce localtry_lock_t"). Remove localtry_*() helpers, since localtry_lock() name might be misinterpreted as "try lock". Introduce local_trylock[_irqsave]() helpers that only work with newly introduced local_trylock_t type. Note that attempt to use local_trylock[_irqsave]() with local_lock_t will cause compilation failure. Usage and behavior in !PREEMPT_RT: local_lock_t lock; // sizeof(lock) == 0 local_lock(&lock); // preempt disable local_lock_irqsave(&lock, ...); // irq save if (local_trylock_irqsave(&lock, ...)) // compilation error local_trylock_t lock; // sizeof(lock) == 4 local_lock(&lock); // preempt disable, acquired = 1 local_lock_irqsave(&lock, ...); // irq save, acquired = 1 if (local_trylock(&lock)) // if (!acquired) preempt disable, acquired = 1 if (local_trylock_irqsave(&lock, ...)) // if (!acquired) irq save, acquired = 1 The existing local_lock_*() macros can be used either with local_lock_t or local_trylock_t. With local_trylock_t they set acquired = 1 while local_unlock_*() clears it. In !PREEMPT_RT local_lock_irqsave(local_lock_t *) disables interrupts to protect critical section, but it doesn't prevent NMI, so the fully reentrant code cannot use local_lock_irqsave(local_lock_t *) for exclusive access. The local_lock_irqsave(local_trylock_t *) helper disables interrupts and sets acquired=1, so local_trylock_irqsave(local_trylock_t *) from NMI attempting to acquire the same lock will return false. In PREEMPT_RT local_lock_irqsave() maps to preemptible spin_lock(). Map local_trylock_irqsave() to preemptible spin_trylock(). When in hard IRQ or NMI return false right away, since spin_trylock() is not safe due to explicit locking in the underneath rt_spin_trylock() implementation. Removing this explicit locking and attempting only "trylock" is undesired due to PI implications. The local_trylock() without _irqsave can be used to avoid the cost of disabling/enabling interrupts by only disabling preemption, so local_trylock() in an interrupt attempting to acquire the same lock will return false. Note there is no need to use local_inc for acquired variable, since it's a percpu variable with strict nesting scopes. Note that guard(local_lock)(&lock) works only for "local_lock_t lock". The patch also makes sure that local_lock_release(l) is called before WRITE_ONCE(l->acquired, 0). Though IRQs are disabled at this point the local_trylock() from NMI will succeed and local_lock_acquire(l) will warn.
