In case if epoll_ctl is called with operation EPOLL_CTL_DEL then @epds.events variable allocated on stack may contain random bits which we test then for EPOLLEXCLUSIVE. Since currently the test look like if (epds.events & EPOLLEXCLUSIVE) { if (op == EPOLL_CTL_MOD) goto error_tgt_fput; if (op == EPOLL_CTL_ADD && (is_file_epoll(tf.file) || (epds.events & ~EPOLLEXCLUSIVE_OK_BITS))) goto error_tgt_fput; } Nothing serious will happen even if epds.events has this bit set, still better to be on safe side and make sure that we're to test this bit at all.

struct timespec is not y2038 safe. Even though timespec might be sufficient to represent timeouts, use struct timespec64 here as the plan is to get rid of all timespec reference in the kernel. The patch transitions the common functions: poll_select_set_timeout() and select_estimate_accuracy() to use timespec64. And, all the syscalls that use these functions are transitioned in the same patch. The restart block parameters for poll uses monotonic time. Use timespec64 here as well to assign timeout value. This parameter in the restart block need not change because this only holds the monotonic timestamp at which timeout should occur. And, unsigned long data type should be big enough for this timestamp. The system call interfaces will be handled in a separate series. Compat interfaces need not change as timespec64 is an alias to struct timespec on a 64 bit system.

This patchset introduces a /proc/<pid>/timerslack_ns interface which would allow controlling processes to be able to set the timerslack value on other processes in order to save power by avoiding wakeups (Something Android currently does via out-of-tree patches). The first patch tries to fix the internal timer_slack_ns usage which was defined as a long, which limits the slack range to ~4 seconds on 32bit systems. It converts it to a u64, which provides the same basically unlimited slack (500 years) on both 32bit and 64bit machines. The second patch introduces the /proc/<pid>/timerslack_ns interface which allows the full 64bit slack range for a task to be read or set on both 32bit and 64bit machines. With these two patches, on a 32bit machine, after setting the slack on bash to 10 seconds: $ time sleep 1 real 0m10.747s user 0m0.001s sys 0m0.005s The first patch is a little ugly, since I had to chase the slack delta arguments through a number of functions converting them to u64s. Let me know if it makes sense to break that up more or not. Other than that things are fairly straightforward. This patch (of 2): The timer_slack_ns value in the task struct is currently a unsigned long. This means that on 32bit applications, the maximum slack is just over 4 seconds. However, on 64bit machines, its much much larger (~500 years). This disparity could make application development a little (as well as the default_slack) to a u64. This means both 32bit and 64bit systems have the same effective internal slack range. Now the existing ABI via PR_GET_TIMERSLACK and PR_SET_TIMERSLACK specify the interface as a unsigned long, so we preserve that limitation on 32bit systems, where SET_TIMERSLACK can only set the slack to a unsigned long value, and GET_TIMERSLACK will return ULONG_MAX if the slack is actually larger then what can be stored by an unsigned long. This patch also modifies hrtimer functions which specified the slack delta as a unsigned long.

In the current implementation of the EPOLLEXCLUSIVE flag (added for 4.5-rc1), if epoll waiters create different POLL* sets and register them as exclusive against the same target fd, the current implementation will stop waking any further waiters once it finds the first idle waiter. This means that waiters could miss wakeups in certain cases. For example, when we wake up a pipe for reading we do: wake_up_interruptible_sync_poll(&pipe->wait, POLLIN | POLLRDNORM); So if one epoll set or epfd is added to pipe p with POLLIN and a second set epfd2 is added to pipe p with POLLRDNORM, only epfd may receive the wakeup since the current implementation will stop after it finds any intersection of events with a waiter that is blocked in epoll_wait(). We could potentially address this by requiring all epoll waiters that are added to p be required to pass the same set of POLL* events. IE the first EPOLL_CTL_ADD that passes EPOLLEXCLUSIVE establishes the set POLL* flags to be used by any other epfds that are added as EPOLLEXCLUSIVE. However, I think it might be somewhat confusing interface as we would have to reference count the number of users for that set, and so userspace would have to keep track of that count, or we would need a more involved interface. It also adds some shared state that we'd have store somewhere. I don't think anybody will want to bloat __wait_queue_head for this. I think what we could do instead, is to simply restrict EPOLLEXCLUSIVE such that it can only be specified with EPOLLIN and/or EPOLLOUT. So that way if the wakeup includes 'POLLIN' and not 'POLLOUT', we can stop once we hit the first idle waiter that specifies the EPOLLIN bit, since any remaining waiters that only have 'POLLOUT' set wouldn't need to be woken. Likewise, we can do the same thing if 'POLLOUT' is in the wakeup bit set and not 'POLLIN'. If both 'POLLOUT' and 'POLLIN' are set in the wake bit set (there is at least one example of this I saw in fs/pipe.c), then we just wake the entire exclusive list. Having both 'POLLOUT' and 'POLLIN' both set should not be on any performance critical path, so I think that's ok (in fs/pipe.c its in pipe_release()). We also continue to include EPOLLERR and EPOLLHUP by default in any exclusive set. Thus, the user can specify EPOLLERR and/or EPOLLHUP but is not required to do so. Since epoll waiters may be interested in other events as well besides EPOLLIN, EPOLLOUT, EPOLLERR and EPOLLHUP, these can still be added by doing a 'dup' call on the target fd and adding that as one normally would with EPOLL_CTL_ADD. Since I think that the POLLIN and POLLOUT events are what we are interest in balancing, I think that the 'dup' thing could perhaps be added to only one of the waiter threads. However, I think that EPOLLIN, EPOLLOUT, EPOLLERR and EPOLLHUP should be sufficient for the majority of use-cases. Since EPOLLEXCLUSIVE is intended to be used with a target fd shared among multiple epfds, where between 1 and n of the epfds may receive an event, it does not satisfy the semantics of EPOLLONESHOT where only 1 epfd would get an event. Thus, it is not allowed to be specified in conjunction with EPOLLEXCLUSIVE. EPOLL_CTL_MOD is also not allowed if the fd was previously added as EPOLLEXCLUSIVE. It seems with the limited number of flags to not be as interesting, but this could be relaxed at some further point.

Currently, epoll file descriptors or epfds (the fd returned from epoll_create[1]()) that are added to a shared wakeup source are always added in a non-exclusive manner. This means that when we have multiple epfds attached to a shared fd source they are all woken up. This creates thundering herd type behavior. Introduce a new 'EPOLLEXCLUSIVE' flag that can be passed as part of the 'event' argument during an epoll_ctl() EPOLL_CTL_ADD operation. This new flag allows for exclusive wakeups when there are multiple epfds attached to a shared fd event source. The implementation walks the list of exclusive waiters, and queues an event to each epfd, until it finds the first waiter that has threads blocked on it via epoll_wait(). The idea is to search for threads which are idle and ready to process the wakeup events. Thus, we queue an event to at least 1 epfd, but may still potentially queue an event to all epfds that are attached to the shared fd source. Performance testing was done by Madars Vitolins using a modified version of Enduro/X. The use of the 'EPOLLEXCLUSIVE' flag reduce the length of this particular workload from 860s down to 24s. Sample epoll_clt text: EPOLLEXCLUSIVE Sets an exclusive wakeup mode for the epfd file descriptor that is being attached to the target file descriptor, fd. Thus, when an event occurs and multiple epfd file descriptors are attached to the same target file using EPOLLEXCLUSIVE, one or more epfds will receive an event with epoll_wait(2). The default in this scenario (when EPOLLEXCLUSIVE is not set) is for all epfds to receive an event. EPOLLEXCLUSIVE may only be specified with the op EPOLL_CTL_ADD.

After waking up a task waiting for an event, we explicitly mark it as TASK_RUNNING (which is necessary as we do the checks for wakeups as TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE). Once running and dealing with actually delivering the events, we're obviously not planning on calling schedule, thus we can relax the implied barrier and simply update the state with __set_current_state().

When calling epoll_ctl with operation EPOLL_CTL_DEL, structure epds is not initialized but ep_take_care_of_epollwakeup reads its event field. When this unintialized field has EPOLLWAKEUP bit set, a capability check is done for CAP_BLOCK_SUSPEND in ep_take_care_of_epollwakeup.

The EPOLL_CTL_DEL path of epoll contains a classic, ab-ba deadlock. That is, epoll_ctl(a, EPOLL_CTL_DEL, b, x), will deadlock with epoll_ctl(b, EPOLL_CTL_DEL, a, x). The deadlock was introduced with commmit 67347fe4 ("epoll: do not take global 'epmutex' for simple topologies"). The acquistion of the ep->mtx for the destination 'ep' was added such that a concurrent EPOLL_CTL_ADD operation would see the correct state of the ep (Specifically, the check for '!list_empty(&f.file->f_ep_links') However, by simply not acquiring the lock, we do not serialize behind the ep->mtx from the add path, and thus may perform a full path check when if we had waited a little longer it may not have been necessary. However, this is a transient state, and performing the full loop checking in this case is not harmful. The important point is that we wouldn't miss doing the full loop checking when required, since EPOLL_CTL_ADD always locks any 'ep's that its operating upon. The reason we don't need to do lock ordering in the add path, is that we are already are holding the global 'epmutex' whenever we do the double lock. Further, the original posting of this patch, which was tested for the intended performance gains, did not perform this additional locking.

When calling EPOLL_CTL_ADD for an epoll file descriptor that is attached directly to a wakeup source, we do not need to take the global 'epmutex', unless the epoll file descriptor is nested. The purpose of taking the 'epmutex' on add is to prevent complex topologies such as loops and deep wakeup paths from forming in parallel through multiple EPOLL_CTL_ADD operations. However, for the simple case of an epoll file descriptor attached directly to a wakeup source (with no nesting), we do not need to hold the 'epmutex'. This patch along with 'epoll: optimize EPOLL_CTL_DEL using rcu' improves scalability on larger systems. Quoting Nathan Zimmer's mail on SPECjbb performance: "On the 16 socket run the performance went from 35k jOPS to 125k jOPS. In addition the benchmark when from scaling well on 10 sockets to scaling well on just over 40 sockets. ... Currently the benchmark stops scaling at around 40-44 sockets but it seems like I found a second unrelated bottleneck."

Nathan Zimmer found that once we get over 10+ cpus, the scalability of SPECjbb falls over due to the contention on the global 'epmutex', which is taken in on EPOLL_CTL_ADD and EPOLL_CTL_DEL operations. Patch #1 removes the 'epmutex' lock completely from the EPOLL_CTL_DEL path by using rcu to guard against any concurrent traversals. Patch #2 remove the 'epmutex' lock from EPOLL_CTL_ADD operations for simple topologies. IE when adding a link from an epoll file descriptor to a wakeup source, where the epoll file descriptor is not nested. This patch (of 2): Optimize EPOLL_CTL_DEL such that it does not require the 'epmutex' by converting the file->f_ep_links list into an rcu one. In this way, we can traverse the epoll network on the add path in parallel with deletes. Since deletes can't create loops or worse wakeup paths, this is safe. This patch in combination with the patch "epoll: Do not take global 'epmutex' for simple topologies", shows a dramatic performance improvement in scalability for SPECjbb.

It is common for epoll users to have thousands of epitems, so saving a cache line on every allocation leads to large memory savings. Since epitem allocations are cache-aligned, reducing sizeof(struct epitem) from 136 bytes to 128 bytes will allow it to squeeze under a cache line boundary on x86_64. Via /sys/kernel/slab/eventpoll_epi, I see the following changes on my x86_64 Core2 Duo (which has 64-byte cache alignment): object_size : 192 => 128 objs_per_slab: 21 => 32 Also, add a BUILD_BUG_ON() to check for future accidental breakage.

EPOLL_CTL_MOD sets the interest mask before calling f_op->poll() to ensure events are not missed. Since the modifications to the interest mask are not protected by the same lock as ep_poll_callback, we need to ensure the change is visible to other CPUs calling ep_poll_callback. We also need to ensure f_op->poll() has an up-to-date view of past events which occured before we modified the interest mask. So this barrier also pairs with the barrier in wq_has_sleeper(). This should guarantee either ep_poll_callback or f_op->poll() (or both) will notice the readiness of a recently-ready/modified item.

Revert commit 03a7beb5 ("epoll: support for disabling items, and a self-test app") pending resolution of the issues identified by Michael Kerrisk, copied below. We'll revisit this for 3.8. : I've taken a look at this patch as it currently stands in 3.7-rc1, and : done a bit of testing. (By the way, the test program : tools/testing/selftests/epoll/test_epoll.c does not compile...) : : There are one or two places where the behavior seems a little strange, : so I have a question or two at the end of this mail. But other than : that, I want to check my understanding so that the interface can be : correctly documented. : : Just to go though my understanding, the problem is the following : scenario in a multithreaded application: : : 1. Multiple threads are performing epoll_wait() operations, : and maintaining a user-space cache that contains information : corresponding to each file descriptor being monitored by : epoll_wait(). : : 2. At some point, a thread wants to delete (EPOLL_CTL_DEL) : a file descriptor from the epoll interest list, and : delete the corresponding record from the user-space cache. : : 3. The problem with (2) is that some other thread may have : previously done an epoll_wait() that retrieved information : about the fd in question, and may be in the middle of using : information in the cache that relates to that fd. Thus, : there is a potential race. : : 4. The race can't solved purely in user space, because doing : so would require applying a mutex across the epoll_wait() : call, which would of course blow thread concurrency. : : Right? : : Your solution is the EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE operation. I want to : confirm my understanding about how to use this flag, since : the description that has accompanied the patches so far : has been a bit sparse : : 0. In the scenario you're concerned about, deleting a file : descriptor means (safely) doing the following: : (a) Deleting the file descriptor from the epoll interest list : using EPOLL_CTL_DEL : (b) Deleting the corresponding record in the user-space cache : : 1. It's only meaningful to use this EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE in : conjunction with EPOLLONESHOT. : : 2. Using EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE without using EPOLLONESHOT in : conjunction is a logical error. : : 3. The correct way to code multithreaded applications using : EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE and EPOLLONESHOT is as follows: : : a. All EPOLL_CTL_ADD and EPOLL_CTL_MOD operations should : should EPOLLONESHOT. : : b. When a thread wants to delete a file descriptor, it : should do the following: : : [1] Call epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE) : [2] If the return status from epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE) : was zero, then the file descriptor can be safely : deleted by the thread that made this call. : [3] If the epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE) fails with EBUSY, : then the descriptor is in use. In this case, the calling : thread should set a flag in the user-space cache to : indicate that the thread that is using the descriptor : should perform the deletion operation. : : Is all of the above correct? : : The implementation depends on checking on whether : (events & ~EP_PRIVATE_BITS) == 0 : This replies on the fact that EPOLL_CTL_AD and EPOLL_CTL_MOD always : set EPOLLHUP and EPOLLERR in the 'events' mask, and EPOLLONESHOT : causes those flags (as well as all others in ~EP_PRIVATE_BITS) to be : cleared. : : A corollary to the previous paragraph is that using EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE : is only useful in conjunction with EPOLLONESHOT. However, as things : stand, one can use EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE on a file descriptor that does : not have EPOLLONESHOT set in 'events' This results in the following : (slightly surprising) behavior: : : (a) The first call to epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE) returns 0 : (the indicator that the file descriptor can be safely deleted). : (b) The next call to epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE) fails with EBUSY. : : This doesn't seem particularly useful, and in fact is probably an : indication that the user made a logic error: they should only be using : epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE) on a file descriptor for which : EPOLLONESHOT was set in 'events'. If that is correct, then would it : not make sense to return an error to user space for this case? Cc: Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages@gmail.com> Cc: "Paton J.

Enhanced epoll_ctl to support EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE, which disables an epoll item. If epoll_ctl doesn't return -EBUSY in this case, it is then safe to delete the epoll item in a multi-threaded environment. Also added a new test_epoll self- test app to both demonstrate the need for this feature and test it. Signed-off-by: NPaton J.

As discussed in http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1249726/focus=1288990, the capability introduced in 4d7e30d9 to govern EPOLLWAKEUP seems misnamed: this capability is about governing the ability to suspend the system, not using a particular API flag (EPOLLWAKEUP). We should make the name of the capability more general to encourage reuse in related cases. (Whether or not this capability should also be used to govern the use of /sys/power/wake_lock is a question that needs to be separately resolved.) This patch renames the capability to CAP_BLOCK_SUSPEND. In order to ensure that the old capability name doesn't make it out into the wild, could you please apply and push up the tree to ensure that it is incorporated for the 3.5 release.

Commit 4d7e30d9 (epoll: Add a flag, EPOLLWAKEUP, to prevent suspend while epoll events are ready) caused some applications to malfunction, because they set the bit corresponding to the new EPOLLWAKEUP flag in their eventpoll flags and they don't have the new CAP_EPOLLWAKEUP capability. To prevent that from happening, change epoll_ctl() to clear EPOLLWAKEUP in epds.events if the caller doesn't have the CAP_EPOLLWAKEUP capability instead of failing and returning an error code, which allows the affected applications to function normally.

When an epoll_event, that has the EPOLLWAKEUP flag set, is ready, a wakeup_source will be active to prevent suspend. This can be used to handle wakeup events from a driver that support poll, e.g. input, if that driver wakes up the waitqueue passed to epoll before allowing suspend.

An epoll_ctl(,EPOLL_CTL_ADD,,) operation can return '-ELOOP' to prevent circular epoll dependencies from being created. However, in that case we do not properly clear the 'tfile_check_list'. Thus, add a call to clear_tfile_check_list() for the -ELOOP case. Signed-off-by: NJason Baron <jbaron@redhat.com> Reported-by: NYurij M.
