When a kworker should die, the kworkre is notified through WORKER_DIE flag instead of kthread_should_stop(). This, IIRC, is primarily to keep the test synchronized inside worker_pool lock. WORKER_DIE is first set while holding pool->lock, the lock is dropped and kthread_stop() is called. Unfortunately, this means that there's a slight chance that the target kworker may see WORKER_DIE before kthread_stop() finishes and exits and frees the target task before or during kthread_stop(). Fix it by pinning the target task before setting WORKER_DIE and putting it after kthread_stop() is done. tj: Improved patch description and comment. Moved pinning above WORKER_DIE for better signify what it's protecting. CC: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: NLai Jiangshan <laijs@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: NTejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

This reverts commit c2fda509. c2fda509 removed lockdep annotation from work_on_cpu() to work around the PCI path that calls work_on_cpu() from within a work_on_cpu() work item (PF driver .probe() method -> pci_enable_sriov() -> add VFs -> VF driver .probe method). 961da7fb6b22 ("PCI: Avoid unnecessary CPU switch when calling driver .probe() method) avoids that recursive work_on_cpu() use in a different way, so this revert restores the work_on_cpu() lockdep annotation.

由 Li Bin 提交于
When one work starts execution, the high bits of work's data contain pool ID. It can represent a maximum of WORK_OFFQ_POOL_NONE. Pool ID is assigned WORK_OFFQ_POOL_NONE when the work being initialized indicating that no pool is associated and get_work_pool() uses it to check the associated pool. So if worker_pool_assign_id() assigns a ID greater than or equal WORK_OFFQ_POOL_NONE to a pool, it triggers leakage, and it may break the non-reentrance guarantee. This patch fix this issue by modifying the worker_pool_assign_id() function calling idr_alloc() by setting @end param WORK_OFFQ_POOL_NONE. Furthermore, in the current implementation, the BUILD_BUG_ON() in init_workqueues makes no sense. The number of worker pools needed cannot be determined at compile time, because the number of backing pools for UNBOUND workqueues is dynamic based on the assigned custom attributes. So remove it. tj: Minor comment and indentation updates. Signed-off-by: NLi Bin <huawei.libin@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: NTejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

An ordered workqueue implements execution ordering by using single pool_workqueue with max_active == 1. On a given pool_workqueue, work items are processed in FIFO order and limiting max_active to 1 enforces the queued work items to be processed one by one. Unfortunately, 4c16bd32 ("workqueue: implement NUMA affinity for unbound workqueues") accidentally broke this guarantee by applying NUMA affinity to ordered workqueues too. On NUMA setups, an ordered workqueue would end up with separate pool_workqueues for different nodes. Each pool_workqueue still limits max_active to 1 but multiple work items may be executed concurrently and out of order depending on which node they are queued to. Fix it by using dedicated ordered_wq_attrs[] when creating ordered workqueues. The new attrs match the unbound ones except that no_numa is always set thus forcing all NUMA nodes to share the default pool_workqueue. While at it, add sanity check in workqueue creation path which verifies that an ordered workqueues has only the default pool_workqueue.

If !PREEMPT, a kworker running work items back to back can hog CPU. This becomes dangerous when a self-requeueing work item which is waiting for something to happen races against stop_machine. Such self-requeueing work item would requeue itself indefinitely hogging the kworker and CPU it's running on while stop_machine would wait for that CPU to enter stop_machine while preventing anything else from happening on all other CPUs. The two would deadlock. Jamie Liu reports that this deadlock scenario exists around scsi_requeue_run_queue() and libata port multiplier support, where one port may exclude command processing from other ports. With the right timing, scsi_requeue_run_queue() can end up requeueing itself trying to execute an IO which is asked to be retried while another device has an exclusive access, which in turn can't make forward progress due to stop_machine. Fix it by invoking cond_resched() after executing each work item.

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in commit 5e427ec2 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time") is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created with improper use of the various __init prefixes. After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone, we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h. This removes all the uses of the __cpuinit macros from C files in the core kernel directories (kernel, init, lib, mm, and include) that don't really have a specific maintainer.

wq_numa_init() builds per-node cpumasks which are later used to make unbound workqueues NUMA-aware. The cpumasks are allocated using alloc_cpumask_var_node() for all possible nodes. Unfortunately, on machines with off-line nodes, this leads to NUMA-aware allocations on existing bug offline nodes, which in turn triggers BUG in the memory allocation code.

Workqueues can be performance or power-oriented. Currently, most workqueues are bound to the CPU they were created on. This gives good performance (due to cache effects) at the cost of potentially waking up otherwise idle cores (Idle from scheduler's perspective. Which may or may not be physically idle) just to process some work. To save power, we can allow the work to be rescheduled on a core that is already awake. Workqueues created with the WQ_UNBOUND flag will allow some power savings. However, we don't change the default behaviour of the system. To enable power-saving behaviour, a new config option CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT needs to be turned on. This option can also be overridden by the workqueue.power_efficient boot parameter. tj: Updated config description and comments. Renamed CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT to CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT_DEFAULT.

df2d5ae4 ("workqueue: map an unbound workqueues to multiple per-node pool_workqueues") made unbound workqueues to map to multiple per-node pool_workqueues and accordingly updated workqueue_contested() so that, for unbound workqueues, it maps the specified @cpu to the NUMA node number to obtain the matching pool_workqueue to query the congested state. Before this change, workqueue_congested() ignored @cpu for unbound workqueues as there was only one pool_workqueue and some users (fscache) called it with WORK_CPU_UNBOUND. After the commit, this causes the following oops as WORK_CPU_UNBOUND gets translated to garbage by cpu_to_node().

One of the problems that arise when converting dedicated custom threadpool to workqueue is that the shared worker pool used by workqueue anonimizes each worker making it more difficult to identify what the worker was doing on which target from the output of sysrq-t or debug dump from oops, BUG() and friends. This patch implements set_worker_desc() which can be called from any workqueue work function to set its description. When the worker task is dumped for whatever reason - sysrq-t, WARN, BUG, oops, lockdep assertion and so on - the description will be printed out together with the workqueue name and the worker function pointer. The printing side is implemented by print_worker_info() which is called from functions in task dump paths - sched_show_task() and dump_stack_print_info(). print_worker_info() can be safely called on any task in any state as long as the task struct itself is accessible. It uses probe_*() functions to access worker fields. It may print garbage if something went very wrong, but it wouldn't cause (another) oops. The description is currently limited to 24bytes including the terminating \0. worker->desc_valid and workder->desc[] are added and the 64 bytes marker which was already incorrect before adding the new fields is moved to the correct position. Here's an example dump with writeback updated to set the bdi name as worker desc.

destroy_workqueue() performs several sanity checks before proceeding with destruction of a workqueue. One of the checks verifies that refcnt of each pwq (pool_workqueue) is over 1 as at that point there should be no in-flight work items and the only holder of pwq refs is the workqueue itself. This worked fine as a workqueue used to hold only one reference to its pwqs; however, since 4c16bd32 ("workqueue: implement NUMA affinity for unbound workqueues"), a workqueue may hold multiple references to its default pwq triggering this sanity check spuriously. Fix it by not triggering the pwq->refcnt assertion on default pwqs. An example spurious WARN trigger follows.

workqueue: update sysfs interface to reflect NUMA awareness and a kernel param to disable NUMA affinity Unbound workqueues are now NUMA aware. Let's add some control knobs and update sysfs interface accordingly. * Add kernel param workqueue.numa_disable which disables NUMA affinity globally. * Replace sysfs file "pool_id" with "pool_ids" which contain node:pool_id pairs. This change is userland-visible but "pool_id" hasn't seen a release yet, so this is okay. * Add a new sysf files "numa" which can toggle NUMA affinity on individual workqueues. This is implemented as attrs->no_numa whichn is special in that it isn't part of a pool's attributes. It only affects how apply_workqueue_attrs() picks which pools to use. After "pool_ids" change, first_pwq() doesn't have any user left. Removed. Signed-off-by: NTejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: NLai Jiangshan <laijs@cn.fujitsu.com>

Currently, an unbound workqueue has single current, or first, pwq (pool_workqueue) to which all new work items are queued. This often isn't optimal on NUMA machines as workers may jump around across node boundaries and work items get assigned to workers without any regard to NUMA affinity. This patch implements NUMA affinity for unbound workqueues. Instead of mapping all entries of numa_pwq_tbl[] to the same pwq, apply_workqueue_attrs() now creates a separate pwq covering the intersecting CPUs for each NUMA node which has online CPUs in @attrs->cpumask. Nodes which don't have intersecting possible CPUs are mapped to pwqs covering whole @attrs->cpumask. As CPUs come up and go down, the pool association is changed accordingly. Changing pool association may involve allocating new pools which may fail. To avoid failing CPU_DOWN, each workqueue always keeps a default pwq which covers whole attrs->cpumask which is used as fallback if pool creation fails during a CPU hotplug operation. This ensures that all work items issued on a NUMA node is executed on the same node as long as the workqueue allows execution on the CPUs of the node. As this maps a workqueue to multiple pwqs and max_active is per-pwq, this change the behavior of max_active. The limit is now per NUMA node instead of global. While this is an actual change, max_active is already per-cpu for per-cpu workqueues and primarily used as safety mechanism rather than for active concurrency control. Concurrency is usually limited from workqueue users by the number of concurrently active work items and this change shouldn't matter much. v2: Fixed pwq freeing in apply_workqueue_attrs() error path. Spotted by Lai. v3: The previous version incorrectly made a workqueue spanning multiple nodes spread work items over all online CPUs when some of its nodes don't have any desired cpus. Reimplemented so that NUMA affinity is properly updated as CPUs go up and down. This problem was spotted by Lai Jiangshan. v4: destroy_workqueue() was putting wq->dfl_pwq and then clearing it; however, wq may be freed at any time after dfl_pwq is put making the clearing use-after-free. Clear wq->dfl_pwq before putting it. v5: apply_workqueue_attrs() was leaking @tmp_attrs, @new_attrs and @pwq_tbl after success. Fixed. Retry loop in wq_update_unbound_numa_attrs() isn't necessary as application of new attrs is excluded via CPU hotplug. Removed. Documentation on CPU affinity guarantee on CPU_DOWN added. All changes are suggested by Lai Jiangshan. Signed-off-by: NTejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: NLai Jiangshan <laijs@cn.fujitsu.com>

Factor out lock pool, put_pwq(), unlock sequence into put_pwq_unlocked(). The two existing places are converted and there will be more with NUMA affinity support.

Factor out pool_workqueue linking and installation into numa_pwq_tbl[] from apply_workqueue_attrs() into numa_pwq_tbl_install(). link_pwq() is made safe to call multiple times. numa_pwq_tbl_install() links the pwq, installs it into numa_pwq_tbl[] at the specified node and returns the old entry. @last_pwq is removed from link_pwq() as the return value of the new function can be used instead.

Use kmem_cache_alloc_node() with @pool->node instead of kmem_cache_zalloc() when allocating a pool_workqueue so that it's allocated on the same node as the associated worker_pool. As there's no no kmem_cache_zalloc_node(), move zeroing to init_pwq(). This was suggested by Lai Jiangshan.

Currently, an unbound workqueue has only one "current" pool_workqueue associated with it. It may have multple pool_workqueues but only the first pool_workqueue servies new work items. For NUMA affinity, we want to change this so that there are multiple current pool_workqueues serving different NUMA nodes. Introduce workqueue->numa_pwq_tbl[] which is indexed by NUMA node and points to the pool_workqueue to use for each possible node. This replaces first_pwq() in __queue_work() and workqueue_congested(). numa_pwq_tbl[] is currently initialized to point to the same pool_workqueue as first_pwq() so this patch doesn't make any behavior changes. v2: Use rcu_dereference_raw() in unbound_pwq_by_node() as the function may be called only with wq->mutex held.

Move wq->flags and ->cpu_pwqs to the end of workqueue_struct and align them to the cacheline. These two fields are used in the work item issue path and thus hot. The scheduled NUMA affinity support will add dispatch table at the end of workqueue_struct and relocating these two fields will allow us hitting only single cacheline on hot paths. Note that wq->pwqs isn't moved although it currently is being used in the work item issue path for unbound workqueues. The dispatch table mentioned above will replace its use in the issue path, so it will become cold once NUMA support is implemented.

Currently, when exposing attrs of an unbound workqueue via sysfs, the workqueue_attrs of first_pwq() is used as that should equal the current state of the workqueue. The planned NUMA affinity support will make unbound workqueues make use of multiple pool_workqueues for different NUMA nodes and the above assumption will no longer hold. Introduce workqueue->unbound_attrs which records the current attrs in effect and use it for sysfs instead of first_pwq()->attrs.

When worker tasks are created using kthread_create_on_node(), currently only per-cpu ones have the matching NUMA node specified. All unbound workers are always created with NUMA_NO_NODE. Now that an unbound worker pool may have an arbitrary cpumask associated with it, this isn't optimal. Add pool->node which is determined by the pool's cpumask. If the pool's cpumask is contained inside a NUMA node proper, the pool is associated with that node, and all workers of the pool are created on that node. This currently only makes difference for unbound worker pools with cpumask contained inside single NUMA node, but this will serve as foundation for making all unbound pools NUMA-affine.

Currently, all workqueue workers which have negative nice value has 'H' postfixed to their names. This is necessary for per-cpu workers as they use the CPU number instead of pool->id to identify the pool and the 'H' postfix is the only thing distinguishing normal and highpri workers. As workers for unbound pools use pool->id, the 'H' postfix is purely informational. TASK_COMM_LEN is 16 and after the static part and delimiters, there are only five characters left for the pool and worker IDs. We're expecting to have more unbound pools with the scheduled NUMA awareness support. Let's drop the non-essential 'H' postfix from unbound kworker name. While at it, restructure kthread_create*() invocation to help future NUMA related changes. Signed-off-by: NTejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: NLai Jiangshan <laijs@cn.fujitsu.com>

Unbound workqueues are going to be NUMA-affine. Add wq_numa_tbl_len and wq_numa_possible_cpumask[] in preparation. The former is the highest NUMA node ID + 1 and the latter is masks of possibles CPUs for each NUMA node. This patch only introduces these. Future patches will make use of them. v2: NUMA initialization move into wq_numa_init(). Also, the possible cpumask array is not created if there aren't multiple nodes on the system. wq_numa_enabled bool added.
