Commit e31d28b6 ("trace: Eliminate cond_resched_rcu_qs() in favor of cond_resched()") substituted cond_resched() for the earlier call to cond_resched_rcu_qs(). However, the new-age cond_resched() does not do anything to help RCU-tasks grace periods because (1) RCU-tasks is only enabled when CONFIG_PREEMPT=y and (2) cond_resched() is a complete no-op when preemption is enabled. This situation results in hangs when running the trace benchmarks. A number of potential fixes were discussed on LKML (https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180224151240.0d63a059@vmware.local.home), including making cond_resched() not be a no-op; making cond_resched() not be a no-op, but only when running tracing benchmarks; reverting the aforementioned commit (which works because cond_resched_rcu_qs() does provide an RCU-tasks quiescent state; and adding a call to the scheduler/RCU rcu_note_voluntary_context_switch() function. All were deemed unsatisfactory, either due to added cond_resched() overhead or due to magic functions inviting cargo culting. This commit renames cond_resched_rcu_qs() to cond_resched_tasks_rcu_qs(), which provides a clear hint as to what this function is doing and why and where it should be used, and then replaces the call to cond_resched() with cond_resched_tasks_rcu_qs() in the trace benchmark's benchmark_event_kthread() function.

If an excessive number of callbacks have been queued, but the NOCB leader kthread's wakeup must be deferred, then we should wake up the leader unconditionally once it is safe to do so. This was handled correctly in commit fbce7497 ("rcu: Parallelize and economize NOCB kthread wakeups"), but then commit 8be6e1b1 ("rcu: Use timer as backstop for NOCB deferred wakeups") passed RCU_NOCB_WAKE instead of the correct RCU_NOCB_WAKE_FORCE to wake_nocb_leader_defer(). As an interesting aside, RCU_NOCB_WAKE_FORCE is never passed to anything, which should have been taken as a hint. ;-) This commit therefore passes RCU_NOCB_WAKE_FORCE instead of RCU_NOCB_WAKE to wake_nocb_leader_defer() when a callback is queued onto a NOCB CPU that already has an excessive number of callbacks pending.

Commit 44c65ff2 ("rcu: Eliminate NOCBs CPU-state Kconfig options") made allocation of rcu_nocb_mask depend only on the rcu_nocbs=, nohz_full=, or isolcpus= kernel boot parameters. However, it failed to change the initial value of rcu_init_nohz()'s local variable need_rcu_nocb_mask to false, which can result in useless allocation of an all-zero rcu_nocb_mask. This commit therefore fixes this bug by changing the initial value of need_rcu_nocb_mask to false. While we are in the area, also correct the error message that is printed when someone specifies that can-never-exist CPUs should be NOCBs CPUs.

The rcu_preempt_do_callbacks() function was introduced in commit 09223371(rcu: Use softirq to address performance regression), where it was necessary to handle kernel builds both containing and not containing RCU-preempt. Since then, various changes (most notably f8b7fc6b ("rcu: use softirq instead of kthreads except when RCU_BOOST=y")) have resulted in this function being invoked only from rcu_kthread_do_work(), which is present only in kernels containing RCU-preempt, which in turn means that the rcu_preempt_do_callbacks() function is no longer needed. This commit therefore inlines rcu_preempt_do_callbacks() into its sole remaining caller and also removes the rcu_state_p and rcu_data_p indirection for added clarity.

RCU's expedited grace periods can participate in out-of-memory deadlocks due to all available system_wq kthreads being blocked and there not being memory available to create more. This commit prevents such deadlocks by allocating an RCU-specific workqueue_struct at early boot time, and providing it with a rescuer to ensure forward progress. This uses the shiny new init_rescuer() function provided by Tejun (but indirectly). This commit also causes SRCU to use this new RCU-specific workqueue_struct. Note that SRCU's use of workqueues never blocks them waiting for readers, so this should be safe from a forward-progress viewpoint. Note that this moves SRCU from system_power_efficient_wq to a normal workqueue. In the unlikely event that this results in measurable degradation, a separate power-efficient workqueue will be creates for SRCU.

The default values for nreader and nwriter are apparently not all that user-friendly, resulting in people doing scalability tests that ran all runs at large scale. This commit therefore makes both the nreaders and nwriters module default to the number of CPUs, and adds a comment to rcuperf.c stating that the number of CPUs should be specified using the nr_cpus kernel boot parameter. This commit also eliminates the redundant rcuperf scripting specification of default values for these parameters. Signed-off-by: NPaul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

The rcu_torture_writer() function adapts to requested testing from module parameters as well as the function pointers in the structure referenced by cur_ops. However, as long as the module parameters do not conflict with the function pointers, this adaptation is silent. This silence can result in confusion as to exactly what was tested, which could in turn result in untested RCU code making its way into mainline. This commit therefore makes rcu_torture_writer() announce exactly which portions of RCU's API it ends up testing. Signed-off-by: NPaul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

During boot, normal grace periods are processed as expedited. When rcutorture is built into the kernel, it starts during boot and thus detects that normal grace periods are unconditionally expedited. Therefore, rcutorture concludes that there is no point in trying to dynamically enable expediting, do it disables this aspect of testing, which is a bit of an overreaction to the temporary boot-time expediting. This commit therefore rechecks forced expediting throughout the test, enabling dynamic expediting if normal grace periods are processed normally at any point. Signed-off-by: NPaul E.

Currently the rcu_torture_fakewriter() function invokes cur_ops->sync() and cur_ops->exp_sync() without first checking to see if they are in fact non-NULL. This results in kernel NULL pointer dereferences when testing RCU implementations that choose not to provide the full set of primitives. Given that it is perfectly reasonable to have specialized RCU implementations that provide only a subset of the RCU API, this is a bug in rcutorture. This commit therefore makes rcu_torture_fakewriter() check function pointers before invoking them, thus allowing it to test subsetted RCU implementations.

The code in srcu_gp_end() inserts a delay every 0x3ff grace periods in order to prevent SRCU grace-period work from consuming an entire CPU when there is a long sequence of expedited SRCU grace-period requests. However, all of SRCU's grace-period work is carried out in workqueues, which are in turn within kthreads, which are automatically throttled as needed by the scheduler. In particular, if there is plenty of idle time, there is no point in throttling. This commit therefore removes the expedited SRCU grace-period throttling. Signed-off-by: NPaul E.

This commit reworks the first loop in sync_rcu_exp_select_cpus() to avoid doing unnecssary stores to other CPUs' rcu_data structures. This speeds up that first loop by roughly a factor of two on an old x86 system. In the case where the system is mostly idle, this loop incurs a large fraction of the overhead of the synchronize_rcu_expedited(). There is less benefit on busy systems because the overhead of the smp_call_function_single() in the second loop dominates in that case. However, it is not unusual to do configuration chances involving RCU grace periods (both expedited and normal) while the system is mostly idle, so this optimization is worth doing. While we are in the area, this commit also adds parentheses to arguments used by the for_each_leaf_node_possible_cpu() macro. Signed-off-by: NPaul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

The purpose of torture_runnable is to allow rcutorture and locktorture to be started and stopped via sysfs when they are built into the kernel (as in not compiled as loadable modules). However, the 0444 permissions for both instances of torture_runnable prevent this use case from ever being put into practice. Given that there have been no complaints about this deficiency, it is reasonable to conclude that no one actually makes use of this sysfs capability. The perf_runnable module parameter for rcuperf is in the same situation. This commit therefore removes both torture_runnable instances as well as perf_runnable.

Due to different representation of cpumask_var_t on different kernel config CPUMASK=y(or n) it was okay. But now we have a helper cpumask_available(), which can be utilized to check whether rcu_nocb_mask has been allocated or not without using a variable. Removing the variable also reduces vmlinux size.

The following statement has for some reason proven non-intuitive: WARN_ON_ONCE(rcu_segcblist_empty(&rdp->cblist) != (count == 0)); This commit therefore adds a comment that states that this warning usually triggers in response to a double call_rcu(), which is sort of like a double free. The comment also suggests building with CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_RCU_HEAD=y to track down the double call_rcu(). Reported-by: NDavid Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NPaul E.

Use of init_rcu_head() and destroy_rcu_head() from modules results in the following build-time error with CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_RCU_HEAD=y: ERROR: "init_rcu_head" [drivers/scsi/scsi_mod.ko] undefined! ERROR: "destroy_rcu_head" [drivers/scsi/scsi_mod.ko] undefined! This commit therefore adds EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() for each to allow them to be used by GPL-licensed kernel modules.

Invoking queue_delayed_work() while holding a raw spinlock is forbidden in -rt kernels, which is exactly what __call_srcu() does, indirectly via srcu_funnel_gp_start(). This commit therefore downgrades Tree SRCU's locking from raw to non-raw spinlocks, which works because call_srcu() is not ever called while holding a raw spinlock.

The code that checks for non-idle non-nohz_idle-usermode tasks invoking rcu_eqs_enter() and rcu_eqs_exit() prints a considerable quantity of helpful information. However, these checks fire rarely, so the extra complexity is no longer worth it. This commit therefore replaces this debug code with simple WARN_ON_ONCE() statements. Signed-off-by: NPaul E.
