rcu_bh_data, rcu_sched_data and rcu_preempt_data are never used outside kernel/rcu/tree.c and thus can be made static. Doing so fixes a section mismatch warning reported by clang when building LLVMLinux with -Wsection, because these variables were declared in .data..percpu and defined in .data..percpu..shared_aligned since commit 11bbb235 ("rcu: Use DEFINE_PER_CPU_SHARED_ALIGNED for rcu_data").

Currently, synchronize_sched_expedited() will call synchronize_sched() if there is danger of counter wrap. But if configuration says to always do expedited grace periods, synchronize_sched() will just call synchronize_sched_expedited() right back again. In theory, the old expedited operations will complete, the counters will get back in synch, and the recursion will end. But we could easily run out of stack long before that time. This commit therefore makes synchronize_sched_expedited() invoke the underlying wait_rcu_gp(call_rcu_sched) instead of synchronize_sched(), the same as all the other calls out from synchronize_sched_expedited().

This commit adds grace number and command-flags information to the "kthread starved" message that is sometimes printed out as part of RCU CPU stall warnings. This message is caused by the corresponding RCU grace-period kthread not having run for at least two seconds, and this added information can be helpful when debugging. Signed-off-by: NPaul E.

The rcu_gp_kthread_wake() refuses to do a wakeup unless at least one of the ->gp_flags bits are set, which normally will not be the case when the last quiescent state is reported. This results in up to a 3-jiffy delay given default Kconfig settings. This commit therefore has rcu_report_qs_rsp() set RCU_GP_FLAG_FQS before invoking rcu_gp_kthread_wake() in order to force a more immediate wakeup at grace-period end, thus reducing grace-period latencies.

In a misguided attempt to avoid an #ifdef, the use of the gp_init_delay module parameter was conditioned on the corresponding RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT Kconfig variable, using IS_ENABLED() at the point of use in the code. This meant that the compiler always saw the delay, which meant that RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT_DELAY had to be unconditionally defined. This in turn caused "make oldconfig" to ask pointless questions about the value of RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT_DELAY in cases where it was not even used. This commit avoids these pointless questions by defining gp_init_delay under #ifdef. In one branch, gp_init_delay is initialized to RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT_DELAY and is also a module parameter (thus allowing boot-time modification), and in the other branch gp_init_delay is a const variable initialized by default to zero. This approach also simplifies the code at the delay point by eliminating the IS_DEFINED(). Because gp_init_delay is constant zero in the no-delay case intended for production use, the "gp_init_delay > 0" check causes the delay to become dead code, as desired in this case. In addition, this commit replaces magic constant "10" with the preprocessor variable PER_RCU_NODE_PERIOD, which controls the number of grace periods that are allowed to elapse at full speed before a delay is inserted.

As noted in earlier commit logs, CPU hotplug operations running concurrently with grace-period initialization can result in a given leaf rcu_node structure having all CPUs offline and no blocked readers, but with this rcu_node structure nevertheless blocking the current grace period. Therefore, the quiescent-state forcing code now checks for this situation and repairs it. Unfortunately, this checking can result in false positives, for example, when the last task has just removed itself from this leaf rcu_node structure, but has not yet started clearing the ->qsmask bits further up the structure. This means that the grace-period kthread (which forces quiescent states) and some other task might be attempting to concurrently clear these ->qsmask bits. This is usually not a problem: One of these tasks will be the first to acquire the upper-level rcu_node structure's lock and with therefore clear the bit, and the other task, seeing the bit already cleared, will stop trying to clear bits. Sadly, this means that the following unusual sequence of events -can- result in a problem: 1. The grace-period kthread wins, and clears the ->qsmask bits. 2. This is the last thing blocking the current grace period, so that the grace-period kthread clears ->qsmask bits all the way to the root and finds that the root ->qsmask field is now zero. 3. Another grace period is required, so that the grace period kthread initializes it, including setting all the needed qsmask bits. 4. The leaf rcu_node structure (the one that started this whole mess) is blocking this new grace period, either because it has at least one online CPU or because there is at least one task that had blocked within an RCU read-side critical section while running on one of this leaf rcu_node structure's CPUs. (And yes, that CPU might well have gone offline before the grace period in step (3) above started, which can mean that there is a task on the leaf rcu_node structure's ->blkd_tasks list, but ->qsmask equal to zero.) 5. The other kthread didn't get around to trying to clear the upper level ->qsmask bits until all the above had happened. This means that it now sees bits set in the upper-level ->qsmask field, so it proceeds to clear them. Too bad that it is doing so on behalf of a quiescent state that does not apply to the current grace period! This sequence of events can result in the new grace period being too short. It can also result in the new grace period ending before the leaf rcu_node structure's ->qsmask bits have been cleared, which will result in splats during initialization of the next grace period. In addition, it can result in tasks blocking the new grace period still being queued at the start of the next grace period, which will result in other splats. Sasha's testing turned up another of these splats, as did rcutorture testing. (And yes, rcutorture is being adjusted to make these splats show up more quickly. Which probably is having the undesirable side effect of making other problems show up less quickly. Can't have everything!) Reported-by: NSasha Levin <sasha.levin@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: NPaul E.

As noted earlier, the following sequence of events can occur when running PREEMPT_RCU and HOTPLUG_CPU on a system with a multi-level rcu_node combining tree: 1. A group of tasks block on CPUs corresponding to a given leaf rcu_node structure while within RCU read-side critical sections. 2. All CPUs corrsponding to that rcu_node structure go offline. 3. The next grace period starts, but because there are still tasks blocked, the upper-level bits corresponding to this leaf rcu_node structure remain set. 4. All the tasks exit their RCU read-side critical sections and remove themselves from the leaf rcu_node structure's list, leaving it empty. 5. But because there now is code to check for this condition at force-quiescent-state time, the upper bits are cleared and the grace period completes. However, there is another complication that can occur following step 4 above: 4a. The grace period starts, and the leaf rcu_node structure's gp_tasks pointer is set to NULL because there are no tasks blocked on this structure. 4b. One of the CPUs corresponding to the leaf rcu_node structure comes back online. 4b. An endless stream of tasks are preempted within RCU read-side critical sections on this CPU, such that the ->blkd_tasks list is always non-empty. The grace period will never end. This commit therefore makes the force-quiescent-state processing check only for absence of tasks blocking the current grace period rather than absence of tasks altogether. This will cause a quiescent state to be reported if the current leaf rcu_node structure is not blocking the current grace period and its parent thinks that it is, regardless of how RCU managed to get itself into this state.

This commit informs RCU of an outgoing CPU just before that CPU invokes arch_cpu_idle_dead() during its last pass through the idle loop (via a new CPU_DYING_IDLE notifier value). This change means that RCU need not deal with outgoing CPUs passing through the scheduler after informing RCU that they are no longer online. Note that removing the CPU from the rcu_node ->qsmaskinit bit masks is done at CPU_DYING_IDLE time, and orphaning callbacks is still done at CPU_DEAD time, the reason being that at CPU_DEAD time we have another CPU that can adopt them.

由 Paul E. McKenney 提交于
Races between CPU hotplug and grace periods can be difficult to resolve, so the ->onoff_mutex is used to exclude the two events. Unfortunately, this means that it is impossible for an outgoing CPU to perform the last bits of its offlining from its last pass through the idle loop, because sleeplocks cannot be acquired in that context. This commit avoids these problems by buffering online and offline events in a new ->qsmaskinitnext field in the leaf rcu_node structures. When a grace period starts, the events accumulated in this mask are applied to the ->qsmaskinit field, and, if needed, up the rcu_node tree. The special case of all CPUs corresponding to a given leaf rcu_node structure being offline while there are still elements in that structure's ->blkd_tasks list is handled using a new ->wait_blkd_tasks field. In this case, propagating the offline bits up the tree is deferred until the beginning of the grace period after all of the tasks have exited their RCU read-side critical sections and removed themselves from the list, at which point the ->wait_blkd_tasks flag is cleared. If one of that leaf rcu_node structure's CPUs comes back online before the list empties, then the ->wait_blkd_tasks flag is simply cleared. This of course means that RCU's notion of which CPUs are offline can be out of date. This is OK because RCU need only wait on CPUs that were online at the time that the grace period started. In addition, RCU's force-quiescent-state actions will handle the case where a CPU goes offline after the grace period starts. Signed-off-by: NPaul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

The rcu_report_unblock_qs_rnp() function is invoked when the last task blocking the current grace period exits its outermost RCU read-side critical section. Previously, this was called only from rcu_read_unlock_special(), and was therefore defined only when CONFIG_RCU_PREEMPT=y. However, this function will be invoked even when CONFIG_RCU_PREEMPT=n once CPU-hotplug operations are processed only at the beginnings of RCU grace periods. The reason for this change is that the last task on a given leaf rcu_node structure's ->blkd_tasks list might well exit its RCU read-side critical section between the time that recent CPU-hotplug operations were applied and when the new grace period was initialized. This situation could result in RCU waiting forever on that leaf rcu_node structure, because if all that structure's CPUs were already offline, there would be no quiescent-state events to drive that structure's part of the grace period. This commit therefore moves rcu_report_unblock_qs_rnp() to common code that is built unconditionally so that the quiescent-state-forcing code can clean up after this situation, avoiding the grace-period stall.

Grace-period initialization normally proceeds quite quickly, so that it is very difficult to reproduce races against grace-period initialization. This commit therefore allows grace-period initialization to be artificially slowed down, increasing race-reproduction probability. A pair of new Kconfig parameters are provided, CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT to enable the slowdowns, and CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT_DELAY to specify the number of jiffies of slowdown to apply. A boot-time parameter named rcutree.gp_init_delay allows boot-time delay to be specified. By default, no delay will be applied even if CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT is set.

If the RCU grace-period kthread invoking rcu_sysidle_check_cpu() happens to be running on the tick_do_timer_cpu initially, then rcu_bind_gp_kthread() won't bind it. This kthread might then migrate before invoking rcu_gp_fqs(), which will trigger the WARN_ON_ONCE() in rcu_sysidle_check_cpu(). This commit therefore makes rcu_bind_gp_kthread() do the binding even if the kthread is currently on the same CPU. Because this incurs added overhead, this commit also causes each RCU grace-period kthread to invoke rcu_bind_gp_kthread() once at boot rather than at the beginning of each grace period.

On second and subsequent passes through quiescent-state forcing, the isidle variable was initialized to false, which would prevent full sysidle state from being reached if a grace period needed more than one round of quiescent-state forcing (which most should not).

Although cond_resched_rcu_qs() only applies to TASKS_RCU, it is used in places where it would be useful for it to apply to the normal RCU flavors, rcu_preempt, rcu_sched, and rcu_bh. This is especially the case for workloads that aggressively overload the system, particularly those that generate large numbers of RCU updates on systems running NO_HZ_FULL CPUs. This commit therefore communicates quiescent states from cond_resched_rcu_qs() to the normal RCU flavors. Note that it is unfortunately necessary to leave the old ->passed_quiesce mechanism in place to allow quiescent states that apply to only one flavor to be recorded. (Yes, we could decrement ->rcu_qs_ctr_snap in that case, but that is not so good for debugging of RCU internals.) In addition, if one of the RCU flavor's grace period has stalled, this will invoke rcu_momentary_dyntick_idle(), resulting in a heavy-weight quiescent state visible from other CPUs.

Recent testing has shown that under heavy load, running RCU's grace-period kthreads at real-time priority can improve performance (according to 0day test robot) and reduce the incidence of RCU CPU stall warnings. However, most systems do just fine with the default non-realtime priorities for these kthreads, and it does not make sense to expose the entire user base to any risk stemming from this change, given that this change is of use only to a few users running extremely heavy workloads. Therefore, this commit allows users to specify realtime priorities for the grace-period kthreads, but leaves them running SCHED_OTHER by default. The realtime priority may be specified at build time via the RCU_KTHREAD_PRIO Kconfig parameter, or at boot time via the rcutree.kthread_prio parameter. Either way, 0 says to continue the default SCHED_OTHER behavior and values from 1-99 specify that priority of SCHED_FIFO behavior. Note that a value of 0 is not permitted when the RCU_BOOST Kconfig parameter is specified. Signed-off-by: NPaul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Subtle race conditions can result if a CPU stays in dyntick-idle mode long enough for the ->gpnum and ->completed fields to wrap. For example, consider the following sequence of events: o CPU 1 encounters a quiescent state while waiting for grace period 5 to complete, but then enters dyntick-idle mode. o While CPU 1 is in dyntick-idle mode, the grace-period counters wrap around so that the grace period number is now 4. o Just as CPU 1 exits dyntick-idle mode, grace period 4 completes and grace period 5 begins. o The quiescent state that CPU 1 passed through during the old grace period 5 looks like it applies to the new grace period 5. Therefore, the new grace period 5 completes without CPU 1 having passed through a quiescent state. This could clearly be a fatal surprise to any long-running RCU read-side critical section that happened to be running on CPU 1 at the time. At one time, this was not a problem, given that it takes significant time for the grace-period counters to overflow even on 32-bit systems. However, with the advent of NO_HZ_FULL and SMP embedded systems, arbitrarily long idle periods are now becoming quite feasible. It is therefore time to close this race. This commit therefore avoids this race condition by having the quiescent-state forcing code detect when a CPU is falling too far behind, and setting a new rcu_data field ->gpwrap when this happens. Whenever this new ->gpwrap field is set, the CPU's ->gpnum and ->completed fields are known to be untrustworthy, and can be ignored, along with any associated quiescent states.
