The RCU callback lists are initialized in both rcu_boot_init_percpu_data() and rcu_init_percpu_data(). The former is intended for initializing immutable data, so this commit removes the initialization from rcu_boot_init_percpu_data() and leaves it in rcu_init_percpu_data(). This change prepares for permitting callbacks to be queued very early in boot. Signed-off-by: NPaul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

The patch dfeb9765 ("Allow post-unlock reference for rt_mutex") ensured rcu-boost safe even the rt_mutex has post-unlock reference. But rt_mutex allowing post-unlock reference is definitely a bug and it was fixed by the commit 27e35715 ("rtmutex: Plug slow unlock race"). This fix made the previous patch (dfeb9765) useless. And even worse, the priority-inversion introduced by the the previous patch still exists. rcu_read_unlock_special() { rt_mutex_unlock(&rnp->boost_mtx); /* Priority-Inversion: * the current task had been deboosted and preempted as a low * priority task immediately, it could wait long before reschedule in, * and the rcu-booster also waits on this low priority task and sleeps. * This priority-inversion makes rcu-booster can't work * as expected. */ complete(&rnp->boost_completion); } Just revert the patch to avoid it.

The rcu_cleanup_dead_cpu() function (called after a CPU has gone completely offline) has not reported a quiescent state because there was probably at least one synchronize_rcu() between the time the CPU went offline and the CPU_DEAD notifier, and this would have detected the CPU's offline state via quiescent-state forcing. However, the plan is for CPUs to take themselves offline, at which point it makes sense for them to report their own quiescent state. This commit makes this change in preparation for the new CPU-hotplug setup. Signed-off-by: NPaul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

When rcu_boost_kthread_setaffinity() sees that all CPUs for a given rcu_node structure are now offline, it affinities the corresponding RCU-boost ("rcub") kthread away from those CPUs. This is pointless because the kthread cannot run on those offline CPUs in any case. This commit therefore removes this unneeded code. Signed-off-by: NPaul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Because there is no longer any preempted tasks on the root rcu_node, and because there is no longer ever an rcub kthread for the root rcu_node, this commit drops the code in force_qs_rnp() that attempts to awaken the non-existent root rcub kthread. This is strictly a performance enhancement, removing a root rcu_node ->lock acquisition and release along with some tests in rcu_initiate_boost(), ending with the test that notes that there is no rcub kthread.

由 Paul E. McKenney 提交于
When the last CPU associated with a given leaf rcu_node structure goes offline, something must be done about the tasks queued on that rcu_node structure. Each of these tasks has been preempted on one of the leaf rcu_node structure's CPUs while in an RCU read-side critical section that it have not yet exited. Handling these tasks is the job of rcu_preempt_offline_tasks(), which migrates them from the leaf rcu_node structure to the root rcu_node structure. Unfortunately, this migration has to be done one task at a time because each tasks allegiance must be shifted from the original leaf rcu_node to the root, so that future attempts to deal with these tasks will acquire the root rcu_node structure's ->lock rather than that of the leaf. Worse yet, this migration must be done with interrupts disabled, which is not so good for realtime response, especially given that there is no bound on the number of tasks on a given rcu_node structure's list. (OK, OK, there is a bound, it is just that it is unreasonably large, especially on 64-bit systems.) This was not considered a problem back when rcu_preempt_offline_tasks() was first written because realtime systems were assumed not to do CPU-hotplug operations while real-time applications were running. This assumption has proved of dubious validity given that people are starting to run multiple realtime applications on a single SMP system and that it is common practice to offline then online a CPU before starting its real-time application in order to clear extraneous processing off of that CPU. So we now need CPU hotplug operations to avoid undue latencies. This commit therefore avoids migrating these tasks, instead letting them be dequeued one by one from the original leaf rcu_node structure by rcu_read_unlock_special(). This means that the clearing of bits from the upper-level rcu_node structures must be deferred until the last such task has been dequeued, because otherwise subsequent grace periods won't wait on them. This commit has the beneficial side effect of simplifying the CPU-hotplug code for TREE_PREEMPT_RCU, especially in CONFIG_RCU_BOOST builds. Signed-off-by: NPaul E.

The x86 architecture has multiple types of NMI-like interrupts: real NMIs, machine checks, and, for some values of NMI-like, debugging and breakpoint interrupts. These interrupts can nest inside each other. Andy Lutomirski is adding RCU support to these interrupts, so rcu_nmi_enter() and rcu_nmi_exit() must now correctly handle nesting. This commit therefore introduces nesting, using a clever NMI-coordination algorithm suggested by Andy. The trick is to atomically increment ->dynticks (if needed) before manipulating ->dynticks_nmi_nesting on entry (and, accordingly, after on exit). In addition, ->dynticks_nmi_nesting is incremented by one if ->dynticks was incremented and by two otherwise. This means that when rcu_nmi_exit() sees ->dynticks_nmi_nesting equal to one, it knows that ->dynticks must be atomically incremented. This NMI-coordination algorithms has been validated by the following Promela model: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ /* * Promela model for Andy Lutomirski's suggested change to rcu_nmi_enter() * that allows nesting. * * This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify * it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by * the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or * (at your option) any later version. * * This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, * but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of * MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

Commit 35ce7f29 (rcu: Create rcuo kthreads only for onlined CPUs) avoids creating rcuo kthreads for CPUs that never come online. This fixes a bug in many instances of firmware: Instead of lying about their age, these systems instead lie about the number of CPUs that they have. Before commit 35ce7f29, this could result in huge numbers of useless rcuo kthreads being created. It appears that experience indicates that I should have told the people suffering from this problem to fix their broken firmware, but I instead produced what turned out to be a partial fix. The missing piece supplied by this commit makes sure that rcu_barrier() knows not to post callbacks for no-CBs CPUs that have not yet come online, because otherwise rcu_barrier() will hang on systems having firmware that lies about the number of CPUs. It is tempting to simply have rcu_barrier() refuse to post a callback on any no-CBs CPU that does not have an rcuo kthread. This unfortunately does not work because rcu_barrier() is required to wait for all pending callbacks. It is therefore required to wait even for those callbacks that cannot possibly be invoked. Even if doing so hangs the system. Given that posting a callback to a no-CBs CPU that does not yet have an rcuo kthread can hang rcu_barrier(), It is tempting to report an error in this case. Unfortunately, this will result in false positives at boot time, when it is perfectly legal to post callbacks to the boot CPU before the scheduler has started, in other words, before it is legal to invoke rcu_barrier(). So this commit instead has rcu_barrier() avoid posting callbacks to CPUs having neither rcuo kthread nor pending callbacks, and has it complain bitterly if it finds CPUs having no rcuo kthread but some pending callbacks. And when rcu_barrier() does find CPUs having no rcuo kthread but pending callbacks, as noted earlier, it has no choice but to hang indefinitely.

Currently, the expedited grace-period primitives do get_online_cpus(). This greatly simplifies their implementation, but means that calls to them holding locks that are acquired by CPU-hotplug notifiers (to say nothing of calls to these primitives from CPU-hotplug notifiers) can deadlock. But this is starting to become inconvenient, as can be seen here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/8/5/754. The problem in this case is that some developers need to acquire a mutex from a CPU-hotplug notifier, but also need to hold it across a synchronize_rcu_expedited(). As noted above, this currently results in deadlock. This commit avoids the deadlock and retains the simplicity by creating a try_get_online_cpus(), which returns false if the get_online_cpus() reference count could not immediately be incremented. If a call to try_get_online_cpus() returns true, the expedited primitives operate as before. If a call returns false, the expedited primitives fall back to normal grace-period operations. This falling back of course results in increased grace-period latency, but only during times when CPU hotplug operations are actually in flight. The effect should therefore be negligible during normal operation. Signed-off-by: NPaul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Josh Triplett <josh@joshtriplett.org> Cc: "Rafael J.

The NOCB follower wakeup ordering depends on the store to the tail pointer happening before the wakeup.
