Several tests in the NAS benchmark seem to run a lot slower with NUMA balancing enabled, than with NUMA balancing disabled. The slower run time corresponds with increased idle time. Overriding the final test of migrate_degrades_locality (but still doing the other NUMA tests first) seems to improve performance of those benchmarks.

Although idle load balancing obviously only concerns idle CPUs, it can be a disturbance on a busy nohz_full CPU. Indeed a CPU can only get rid of an idle load balancing duty once a tick fires while it runs a task and this can take a while on a nohz_full CPU. We could fix that and escape the idle load balancing duty from the very idle exit path but that would bring unecessary overhead. Lets just not bother and leave that job to housekeeping CPUs (those outside nohz_full range). The nohz_full CPUs simply don't want any disturbance.

So I've noticed a number of instances where it was not obvious from the code whether ->task_list was for a wait-queue head or a wait-queue entry. Furthermore, there's a number of wait-queue users where the lists are not for 'tasks' but other entities (poll tables, etc.), in which case the 'task_list' name is actively confusing. To clear this all up, name the wait-queue head and entry list structure fields unambiguously: struct wait_queue_head::task_list => ::head struct wait_queue_entry::task_list => ::entry For example, this code: rqw->wait.task_list.next != &wait->task_list ... is was pretty unclear (to me) what it's doing, while now it's written this way: rqw->wait.head.next != &wait->entry ... which makes it pretty clear that we are iterating a list until we see the head. Other examples are: list_for_each_entry_safe(pos, next, &x->task_list, task_list) { list_for_each_entry(wq, &fence->wait.task_list, task_list) { ... where it's unclear (to me) what we are iterating, and during review it's hard to tell whether it's trying to walk a wait-queue entry (which would be a bug), while now it's written as: list_for_each_entry_safe(pos, next, &x->head, entry) { list_for_each_entry(wq, &fence->wait.head, entry) { Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

The wait_bit*() types and APIs are mixed into wait.h, but they are a pretty orthogonal extension of wait-queues. Furthermore, only about 50 kernel files use these APIs, while over 1000 use the regular wait-queue functionality. So clean up the main wait.h by moving the wait-bit functionality out of it, into a separate .h and .c file: include/linux/wait_bit.h for types and APIs kernel/sched/wait_bit.c for the implementation Update all header dependencies. This reduces the size of wait.h rather significantly, by about 30%.

So wait-bit-queue head variables are often named: struct wait_bit_queue *q ... which is a bit ambiguous and super confusing, because they clearly suggest wait-queue head semantics and behavior (they rhyme with the old wait_queue_t *q naming), while they are extended wait-queue _entries_, not heads! They are misnomers in two ways: - the 'wait_bit_queue' leaves open the question of whether it's an entry or a head - the 'q' parameter and local variable naming falsely implies that it's a 'queue' - while it's an entry. This resulted in sometimes confusing cases such as: finish_wait(wq, &q->wait); where the 'q' is not a wait-queue head, but a wait-bit-queue entry. So improve this all by standardizing wait-bit-queue nomenclature similar to wait-queue head naming: struct wait_bit_queue => struct wait_bit_queue_entry q => wbq_entry Which makes it all a much clearer: struct wait_bit_queue_entry *wbq_entry ... and turns the former confusing piece of code into: finish_wait(wq_head, &wbq_entry->wq_entry; which IMHO makes it apparently clear what we are doing, without having to analyze the context of the code: we are adding a wait-queue entry to a regular wait-queue head, which entry is embedded in a wait-bit-queue entry. I'm not a big fan of acronyms, but repeating wait_bit_queue_entry in field and local variable names is too long, so Hopefully it's clear enough that 'wq_' prefixes stand for wait-queues, while 'wbq_' prefixes stand for wait-bit-queues.

The wait-queue head parameters and variables are named in a couple of ways, we have the following variants currently: wait_queue_head_t *q wait_queue_head_t *wq wait_queue_head_t *head In particular the 'wq' naming is ambiguous in the sense whether it's a wait-queue head or entry name - as entries were often named 'wait'. ( Not to mention the confusion of any readers coming over from workqueue-land. ) Standardize all this around a single, unambiguous parameter and variable name: struct wait_queue_head *wq_head which is easy to grep for and also rhymes nicely with the wait-queue entry naming: struct wait_queue_entry *wq_entry Also rename: struct __wait_queue_head => struct wait_queue_head ... and use this struct type to migrate from typedefs usage to 'struct' usage, which is more in line with existing kernel practices. Don't touch any external users and preserve the main wait_queue_head_t typedef.

So the various wait-queue entry variables in include/linux/wait.h and kernel/sched/wait.c are named in a colorfully inconsistent way: wait_queue_entry_t *wait wait_queue_entry_t *__wait (even in plain C code!) wait_queue_entry_t *q (!) wait_queue_entry_t *new (making anyone who knows C++ cringe) wait_queue_entry_t *old I think part of the reason for the inconsistency is the constant apparent confusion about what a wait queue 'head' versus 'entry' is. ( Some of the documentation talks about a 'wait descriptor', which is the wait-queue entry itself - further adding to the confusion. ) The most common name is 'wait', but that in itself is somewhat ambiguous as well, as it does not really make it clear whether it's a wait-queue entry or head. To improve all this name the wait-queue entry structure parameters and variables consistently and push through this naming into all the wait.h and wait.c code: struct wait_queue_entry *wq_entry The 'wq_' prefix makes it easy to grep for, and we also use the opportunity to move away from the typedef to a plain 'struct' naming: in the kernel we typically reserve typedefs for cases where a C structure is really small and somewhat opaque - such as pte_t. wait-queue entries are neither small nor opaque, so use the more standard 'struct xxx_entry' list management code nomenclature instead.

Rename: wait_queue_t => wait_queue_entry_t 'wait_queue_t' was always a slight misnomer: its name implies that it's a "queue", but in reality it's a queue *entry*. The 'real' queue is the wait queue head, which had to carry the name. Start sorting this out by renaming it to 'wait_queue_entry_t'. This also allows the real structure name 'struct __wait_queue' to lose its double underscore and become 'struct wait_queue_entry', which is the more canonical nomenclature for such data types.

由 Petr Mladek 提交于
rcu_read_(un)lock(), list_*_rcu(), and synchronize_rcu() are used for a secure access and manipulation of the list of patches that modify the same function. In particular, it is the variable func_stack that is accessible from the ftrace handler via struct ftrace_ops and klp_ops. Of course, it synchronizes also some states of the patch on the top of the stack, e.g. func->transition in klp_ftrace_handler. At the same time, this mechanism guards also the manipulation of task->patch_state. It is modified according to the state of the transition and the state of the process. Now, all this works well as long as RCU works well. Sadly livepatching might get into some corner cases when this is not true. For example, RCU is not watching when rcu_read_lock() is taken in idle threads. It is because they might sleep and prevent reaching the grace period for too long. There are ways how to make RCU watching even in idle threads, see rcu_irq_enter(). But there is a small location inside RCU infrastructure when even this does not work. This small problematic location can be detected either before calling rcu_irq_enter() by rcu_irq_enter_disabled() or later by rcu_is_watching(). Sadly, there is no safe way how to handle it. Once we detect that RCU was not watching, we might see inconsistent state of the function stack and the related variables in klp_ftrace_handler(). Then we could do a wrong decision, use an incompatible implementation of the function and break the consistency of the system. We could warn but we could not avoid the damage. Fortunately, ftrace has similar problems and they seem to be solved well there. It uses a heavy weight implementation of some RCU operations. In particular, it replaces: + rcu_read_lock() with preempt_disable_notrace() + rcu_read_unlock() with preempt_enable_notrace() + synchronize_rcu() with schedule_on_each_cpu(sync_work) My understanding is that this is RCU implementation from a stone age. It meets the core RCU requirements but it is rather ineffective. Especially, it does not allow to batch or speed up the synchronize calls. On the other hand, it is very trivial. It allows to safely trace and/or livepatch even the RCU core infrastructure. And the effectiveness is a not a big issue because using ftrace or livepatches on productive systems is a rare operation. The safety is much more important than a negligible extra load. Note that the alternative implementation follows the RCU principles. Therefore, we could and actually must use list_*_rcu() variants when manipulating the func_stack. These functions allow to access the pointers in the right order and with the right barriers. But they do not use any other information that would be set only by rcu_read_lock(). Also note that there are actually two problems solved in ftrace: First, it cares about the consistency of RCU read sections. It is being solved the way as described and used in this patch. Second, ftrace needs to make sure that nobody is inside the dynamic trampoline when it is being freed. For this, it also calls synchronize_rcu_tasks() in preemptive kernel in ftrace_shutdown(). Livepatch has similar problem but it is solved by ftrace for free. klp_ftrace_handler() is a good guy and never sleeps. In addition, it is registered with FTRACE_OPS_FL_DYNAMIC. It causes that unregister_ftrace_function() calls: * schedule_on_each_cpu(ftrace_sync) - always * synchronize_rcu_tasks() - in preemptive kernel The effect is that nobody is neither inside the dynamic trampoline nor inside the ftrace handler after unregister_ftrace_function() returns.

Linu Cherian reported a WARN in cleanup_srcu_struct() when shutting down a guest running iperf on a VFIO assigned device. This happens because irqfd_wakeup() calls srcu_read_lock(&kvm->irq_srcu) in interrupt context, while a worker thread does the same inside kvm_set_irq(). If the interrupt happens while the worker thread is executing __srcu_read_lock(), updates to the Classic SRCU ->lock_count[] field or the Tree SRCU ->srcu_lock_count[] field can be lost. The docs say you are not supposed to call srcu_read_lock() and srcu_read_unlock() from irq context, but KVM interrupt injection happens from (host) interrupt context and it would be nice if SRCU supported the use case. KVM is using SRCU here not really for the "sleepable" part, but rather due to its IPI-free fast detection of grace periods. It is therefore not desirable to switch back to RCU, which would effectively revert commit 719d93cd ("kvm/irqchip: Speed up KVM_SET_GSI_ROUTING", 2014-01-16). However, the docs are overly conservative. You can have an SRCU instance only has users in irq context, and you can mix process and irq context as long as process context users disable interrupts. In addition, __srcu_read_unlock() actually uses this_cpu_dec() on both Tree SRCU and Classic SRCU. For those two implementations, only srcu_read_lock() is unsafe. When Classic SRCU's __srcu_read_unlock() was changed to use this_cpu_dec(), in commit 5a41344a ("srcu: Simplify __srcu_read_unlock() via this_cpu_dec()", 2012-11-29), __srcu_read_lock() did two increments. Therefore it kept __this_cpu_inc(), with preempt_disable/enable in the caller. Tree SRCU however only does one increment, so on most architectures it is more efficient for __srcu_read_lock() to use this_cpu_inc(), and any performance differences appear to be down in the noise.

When Classic SRCU's __srcu_read_unlock() was changed to use this_cpu_dec(), in commit 5a41344a ("srcu: Simplify __srcu_read_unlock() via this_cpu_dec()", 2012-11-29), __srcu_read_lock() did two increments. Therefore it kept __this_cpu_inc(), with preempt_disable/enable in the caller. Tree SRCU however only does one increment, so on most architectures it is more efficient for __srcu_read_lock() to use this_cpu_inc(), and any performance differences appear to be down in the noise. Unlike Classic and Tree SRCU, Tiny SRCU does increments and decrements on a single variable. Therefore, as Peter Zijlstra pointed out, Tiny SRCU's implementation already supports mixed-context use of srcu_read_lock() and srcu_read_unlock(), at least as long as uses of srcu_read_lock() and srcu_read_unlock() in each handler are nested and paired properly. In other words, it is still illegal to (say) invoke srcu_read_lock() in an interrupt handler and to invoke the matching srcu_read_unlock() in a softirq handler. Therefore, the only change required for Tiny SRCU is to its comments.

This reverts commit cf39bf58. The commit regression to users that define both console=ttyS1 and console=ttyS0 on the command line, see https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170509082915.GA13236@bistromath.localdomain The kernel log messages always appeared only on one serial port. It is even documented in Documentation/admin-guide/serial-console.rst: "Note that you can only define one console per device type (serial, video)." The above mentioned commit changed the order in which the command line parameters are searched. As a result, the kernel log messages go to the last mentioned ttyS* instead of the first one. We long thought that using two console=ttyS* on the command line did not make sense. But then we realized that console= parameters were handled also by systemd, see http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/serial-console.html "By default systemd will instantiate one serial-getty@.service on the main kernel console, if it is not a virtual terminal." where "[4] If multiple kernel consoles are used simultaneously, the main console is the one listed first in /sys/class/tty/console/active, which is the last one listed on the kernel command line." This puts the original report into another light. The system is running in qemu. The first serial port is used to store the messages into a file. The second one is used to login to the system via a socket. It depends on systemd and the historic kernel behavior. By other words, systemd causes that it makes sense to define both console=ttyS1 console=ttyS0 on the command line. The kernel fix caused regression related to userspace (systemd) and need to be reverted. In addition, it went out that the fix helped only partially. The messages still were duplicated when the boot console was removed early by late_initcall(printk_late_init). Then the entire log was replayed when the same console was registered as a normal one.

We have been facing some problems with self-suspending constrained deadline tasks. The main reason is that the original CBS was not designed for such sort of tasks. One problem reported by Xunlei Pang takes place when a task suspends, and then is awakened before the deadline, but so close to the deadline that its remaining runtime can cause the task to have an absolute density higher than allowed. In such situation, the original CBS assumes that the task is facing an early activation, and so it replenishes the task and set another deadline, one deadline in the future. This rule works fine for implicit deadline tasks. Moreover, it allows the system to adapt the period of a task in which the external event source suffered from a clock drift. However, this opens the window for bandwidth leakage for constrained deadline tasks. For instance, a task with the following parameters: runtime = 5 ms deadline = 7 ms [density] = 5 / 7 = 0.71 period = 1000 ms If the task runs for 1 ms, and then suspends for another 1ms, it will be awakened with the following parameters: remaining runtime = 4 laxity = 5 presenting a absolute density of 4 / 5 = 0.80. In this case, the original CBS would assume the task had an early wakeup. Then, CBS will reset the runtime, and the absolute deadline will be postponed by one relative deadline, allowing the task to run. The problem is that, if the task runs this pattern forever, it will keep receiving bandwidth, being able to run 1ms every 2ms. Following this behavior, the task would be able to run 500 ms in 1 sec. Thus running more than the 5 ms / 1 sec the admission control allowed it to run. Trying to address the self-suspending case, Luca Abeni, Giuseppe Lipari, and Juri Lelli [1] revisited the CBS in order to deal with self-suspending tasks. In the new approach, rather than replenishing/postponing the absolute deadline, the revised wakeup rule adjusts the remaining runtime, reducing it to fit into the allowed density. A revised version of the idea is: At a given time t, the maximum absolute density of a task cannot be higher than its relative density, that is: runtime / (deadline - t) <= dl_runtime / dl_deadline Knowing the laxity of a task (deadline - t), it is possible to move it to the other side of the equality, thus enabling to define max remaining runtime a task can use within the absolute deadline, without over-running the allowed density: runtime = (dl_runtime / dl_deadline) * (deadline - t) For instance, in our previous example, the task could still run: runtime = ( 5 / 7 ) * 5 runtime = 3.57 ms Without causing damage for other deadline tasks. It is note worthy that the laxity cannot be negative because that would cause a negative runtime. Thus, this patch depends on the patch: df8eac8c ("sched/deadline: Throttle a constrained deadline task activated after the deadline") Which throttles a constrained deadline task activated after the deadline. Finally, it is also possible to use the revised wakeup rule for all other tasks, but that would require some more discussions about pros and cons.

This commit introduces a per-runqueue "extra utilization" that can be reclaimed by deadline tasks. In this way, the maximum fraction of CPU time that can reclaimed by deadline tasks is fixed (and configurable) and does not depend on the total deadline utilization. The GRUB accounting rule is modified to add this "extra utilization" to the inactive utilization of the runqueue, and to avoid reclaiming more than a maximum fraction of the CPU time.

Instead of decreasing the runtime as "dq = -Uact dt" (eventually divided by the maximum utilization available for deadline tasks), decrease it as "dq = -max{u, (1 - Uinact)} dt", where u is the task utilization and Uinact is the "inactive utilization". In this way, the maximum fraction of CPU time that can be reclaimed is given by the total utilization of deadline tasks. This approach solves a fairness issue with "traditional" global GRUB reclaiming: using the traditional GRUB algorithm, if tasks are allocated to the various cores in a non-uniform way, the reclaiming mechanism allows some tasks to reclaim more time than others. This issue is visible starting 11 time-consuming tasks with runtime 10ms and period 30ms (total utilization 3.666) on a 4-cores system: some tasks will receive much more than the reserved runtime (thanks to the reclaiming mechanism), while other tasks will receive less than the reserved runtime.
