So I have been playing about with this a bit and it keeps falling short
of 'nice' :/

What I ended up with is the below. The simple scoped_guard () extension
is useful, albeit slightly awkward (I'll reply with another patch making
use of it). But the basic problem is that it will have to have the form:

scoped_guard (mutex_intr, &task->signal->cred_guard_mutex) {
...
return 0;
}
return -EINTR;

That is; the guard body must terminate such that after the body is the
'fail' case. This is not always convenient.

Additionally, this did not help with my case where I need to hold the
lock conditionally (when I have a task) but need to execute the body
unconditionally. Then the above form just doesn't work.

For that, I ended up with:

cond_guard(name, stmt, args...)

Which can be used like:


do {
cond_guard(rwsem_down_intr, if (task) return -EINTR,
task ? task->signal->exec_update_lock : NULL);

... do stuff that is conditionally guarded by @exec_update_lock ...

} while (0);


I'll continue poking for a bit,.. see if there's something better.

Subject: cleanup: Add conditional guard support
From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Sun Sep 17 13:22:17 CEST 2023

Adds:

- DEFINE_GUARD_COND() / DEFINE_LOCK_GUARD_1_COND() to extend existing
guards with conditional lock primitives, eg. mutex_trylock(),
mutex_lock_interruptible().

nb. both primitives allow NULL 'locks', which cause the lock to
fail (obviously).

- extends scoped_guard() to not take the body when the the
conditional guard 'fails'. eg.

scoped_guard (mutex_intr, &task->signal_cred_guard_mutex) {
...
}

will only execute the body when the mutex is held.

- provides cond_guard(name, stmt, args...); which extends guard()
to execute @stmt when the lock fails.
