      percpu_ref: Update doc to dissuade users from depending on internal RCU grace periods · b3a5d111
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      percpu_ref internally uses sched-RCU to implement the percpu -> atomic
      mode switching and the documentation suggested that this could be
      depended upon.  This doesn't seem like a good idea.
      
      * percpu_ref uses sched-RCU which has different grace periods regular
        RCU.  Users may combine percpu_ref with regular RCU usage and
        incorrectly believe that regular RCU grace periods are performed by
        percpu_ref.  This can lead to, for example, use-after-free due to
        premature freeing.
      
      * percpu_ref has a grace period when switching from percpu to atomic
        mode.  It doesn't have one between the last put and release.  This
        distinction is subtle and can lead to surprising bugs.
      
      * percpu_ref allows starting in and switching to atomic mode manually
        for debugging and other purposes.  This means that there may not be
        any grace periods from kill to release.
      
      This patch makes it clear that the grace periods are percpu_ref's
      internal implementation detail and can't be depended upon by the
      users.

      License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license · b2441318
      Greg Kroah-Hartman 提交于
      Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
      makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
      
      By default all files without license information are under the default
      license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
      
      Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
      SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
      shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
      
      This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
      Philippe Ombredanne.
      
      How this work was done:
      
      Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
      the use cases:
       - file had no licensing information it it.
       - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
       - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
      
      Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
      where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
      had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
      
      The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
      a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
      output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
      tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
      base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
      
      The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
      assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
      results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
      to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
      immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
      
      Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
       - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
       - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
         lines of source
       - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
         lines).
      
      All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
      
      The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
      identifiers to apply.
      
       - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
         considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
         COPYING file license applied.
      
         For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
      
         SPDX license identifier                            # files
         ---------------------------------------------------|-------
         GPL-2.0                                              11139
      
         and resulted in the first patch in this series.
      
         If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
         Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:
      
         SPDX license identifier                            # files
         ---------------------------------------------------|-------
         GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930
      
         and resulted in the second patch in this series.
      
       - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
         of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
         any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
         it (per prior point).  Results summary:
      
         SPDX license identifier                            # files
         ---------------------------------------------------|------
         GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
         GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
         LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
         GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
         ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
         LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
         LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1
      
         and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
      
       - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
         the concluded license(s).
      
       - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
         license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
         licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
      
       - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
         resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
         which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
      
       - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
         confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
      
       - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
         the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
         in time.
      
      In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
      spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
      source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
      by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
      
      Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
      FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
      disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
      Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
      they are related.
      
      Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
      for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
      files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
      in about 15000 files.
      
      In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
      copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
      correct identifier.
      
      Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
      inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
      version early this week with:
       - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
         license ids and scores
       - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
         files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
       - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
         was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
         SPDX license was correct
      
      This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
      worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
      different types of files to be modified.
      
      These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
      parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
      format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
      based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
      distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
      comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
      generate the patches.

      percpu-refcount: fix reference leak during percpu-atomic transition · 966d2b04
      Douglas Miller 提交于
      percpu_ref_tryget() and percpu_ref_tryget_live() should return
      "true" IFF they acquire a reference. But the return value from
      atomic_long_inc_not_zero() is a long and may have high bits set,
      e.g. PERCPU_COUNT_BIAS, and the return value of the tryget routines
      is bool so the reference may actually be acquired but the routines
      return "false" which results in a reference leak since the caller
      assumes it does not need to do a corresponding percpu_ref_put().
      
      This was seen when performing CPU hotplug during I/O, as hangs in
      blk_mq_freeze_queue_wait where percpu_ref_kill (blk_mq_freeze_queue_start)
      raced with percpu_ref_tryget (blk_mq_timeout_work).

      Examination of the queue showed a single reference (no PERCPU_COUNT_BIAS,
      and __PERCPU_REF_DEAD, __PERCPU_REF_ATOMIC set) and no requests.
      However, conditions at the time of the race are count of PERCPU_COUNT_BIAS + 0
      and __PERCPU_REF_DEAD and __PERCPU_REF_ATOMIC set.
      
      The fix is to make the tryget routines use an actual boolean internally instead
      of the atomic long result truncated to a int.

      percpu_ref: remove unnecessary ACCESS_ONCE() in percpu_ref_tryget_live() · 6810e4a3
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      __ref_is_percpu() needs the implied ACCESS_ONCE() in
      lockless_dereference() on @ref->percpu_count_ptr because the value is
      tested for !__PERCPU_REF_ATOMIC, which may be set asynchronously, and
      then used as a pointer.  If the compiler generates a separate fetch
      when using it as a pointer, __PERCPU_REF_ATOMIC may be set in between
      contaminating the pointer value.
      
      percpu_ref_tryget_live() also uses ACCESS_ONCE() to test
      __PERCPU_REF_DEAD; however, there's no reason for this.  I just copied
      ACCESS_ONCE() usage blindly from __ref_is_percpu().  All it does is
      confusing people trying to understand what's going on.
      
      This patch removes the unnecessary ACCESS_ONCE() usage from

      percpu-ref: fix DEAD flag contamination of percpu pointer · 4aab3b5b
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      While decoupling ATOMIC and DEAD flags, f47ad457 ("percpu_ref:
      decouple switching to percpu mode and reinit") updated
      __ref_is_percpu() so that it only tests ATOMIC flag to determine
      whether the ref is in percpu mode or not; however, while DEAD implies
      ATOMIC, the two flags are set separately during percpu_ref_kill() and
      if __ref_is_percpu() races percpu_ref_kill(), it may see DEAD w/o
      ATOMIC.  Because __ref_is_percpu() returns @ref->percpu_count_ptr
      value verbatim as the percpu pointer after testing ATOMIC, the pointer
      may now be contaminated with the DEAD flag.
      
      This can be fixed by clearing the flag bits before returning the
      pointer which was the fix proposed by Shaohua; however, as DEAD
      implies ATOMIC, we can just test for both flags at once and avoid the
      explicit masking.
      
      Update __ref_is_percpu() so that it tests that both ATOMIC and DEAD
      are clear before returning @ref->percpu_count_ptr as the percpu
      pointer.

      percpu_ref: make INIT_ATOMIC and switch_to_atomic() sticky · 1cae13e7
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Currently, a percpu_ref which is initialized with
      PERPCU_REF_INIT_ATOMIC or switched to atomic mode via
      switch_to_atomic() automatically reverts to percpu mode on the first
      percpu_ref_reinit().  This makes the atomic mode difficult to use for
      cases where a percpu_ref is used as a persistent on/off switch which
      may be cycled multiple times.
      
      This patch makes such atomic state sticky so that it survives through
      kill/reinit cycles.  After this patch, atomic state is cleared only by
      an explicit percpu_ref_switch_to_percpu() call.

      percpu_ref: add PERCPU_REF_INIT_* flags · 2aad2a86
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      With the recent addition of percpu_ref_reinit(), percpu_ref now can be
      used as a persistent switch which can be turned on and off repeatedly
      where turning off maps to killing the ref and waiting for it to drain;
      however, there currently isn't a way to initialize a percpu_ref in its
      off (killed and drained) state, which can be inconvenient for certain
      persistent switch use cases.
      
      Similarly, percpu_ref_switch_to_atomic/percpu() allow dynamic
      selection of operation mode; however, currently a newly initialized
      percpu_ref is always in percpu mode making it impossible to avoid the
      latency overhead of switching to atomic mode.
      
      This patch adds @flags to percpu_ref_init() and implements the
      following flags.
      
      * PERCPU_REF_INIT_ATOMIC	: start ref in atomic mode
      * PERCPU_REF_INIT_DEAD		: start ref killed and drained
      
      These flags should be able to serve the above two use cases.

      percpu_ref_kill_and_confirm() on top of it.
      
      * The handling of __PERCPU_REF_ATOMIC and __PERCPU_REF_DEAD is now
        differentiated.  Among get/put operations, percpu_ref_tryget_live()
        is the only one which cares about DEAD.
      
      * percpu_ref_switch_to_atomic() can be called multiple times on the
        same ref.  This means that multiple @confirm_switch may get queued
        up which we can't do reliably without extra memory area.  This is
        handled by making the later invocation synchronously wait for the
        completion of the previous one.  This isn't particularly desirable
        but such synchronous waits shouldn't happen in most cases.

      percpu_ref: add PCPU_REF_DEAD · 27344a90
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      percpu_ref will be restructured so that percpu/atomic mode switching
      and reference killing are dedoupled.  In preparation, add
      PCPU_REF_DEAD and PCPU_REF_ATOMIC_DEAD which is OR of ATOMIC and DEAD.
      For now, ATOMIC and DEAD are changed together and all PCPU_REF_ATOMIC
      uses are converted to PCPU_REF_ATOMIC_DEAD without causing any
      behavior changes.
      
      percpu_ref_init() now specifies an explicit alignment when allocating
      the percpu counters so that the pointer has enough unused low bits to
      accomodate the flags.  Note that one flag was fine as min alignment
      for percpu memory is 2 bytes but two flags are already too many for
      the natural alignment of unsigned longs on archs like cris and m68k.
      
      v2: The original patch had BUILD_BUG_ON() which triggers if unsigned
          long's alignment isn't enough to accomodate the flags, which
          triggered on cris and m64k.  percpu_ref_init() updated to specify
          the required alignment explicitly.  Reported by Fengguang.

      blk-mq, percpu_ref: implement a kludge for SCSI blk-mq stall during probe · 0a30288d
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      blk-mq uses percpu_ref for its usage counter which tracks the number
      of in-flight commands and used to synchronously drain the queue on
      freeze.  percpu_ref shutdown takes measureable wallclock time as it
      involves a sched RCU grace period.  This means that draining a blk-mq
      takes measureable wallclock time.  One would think that this shouldn't
      matter as queue shutdown should be a rare event which takes place
      asynchronously w.r.t. userland.
      
      Unfortunately, SCSI probing involves synchronously setting up and then
      tearing down a lot of request_queues back-to-back for non-existent
      LUNs.  This means that SCSI probing may take more than ten seconds
      when scsi-mq is used.
      
      This will be properly fixed by implementing a mechanism to keep
      q->mq_usage_counter in atomic mode till genhd registration; however,
      that involves rather big updates to percpu_ref which is difficult to
      apply late in the devel cycle (v3.17-rc6 at the moment).  As a
      stop-gap measure till the proper fix can be implemented in the next
      cycle, this patch introduces __percpu_ref_kill_expedited() and makes
      blk_mq_freeze_queue() use it.  This is heavy-handed but should work
      for testing the experimental SCSI blk-mq implementation.

      percpu-refcount: make percpu_ref based on longs instead of ints · e625305b
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      percpu_ref is currently based on ints and the number of refs it can
      cover is (1 << 31).  This makes it impossible to use a percpu_ref to
      count memory objects or pages on 64bit machines as it may overflow.
      This forces those users to somehow aggregate the references before
      contributing to the percpu_ref which is often cumbersome and sometimes
      challenging to get the same level of performance as using the
      percpu_ref directly.
      
      While using ints for the percpu counters makes them pack tighter on
      64bit machines, the possible gain from using ints instead of longs is
      extremely small compared to the overall gain from per-cpu operation.
      This patch makes percpu_ref based on longs so that it can be used to
      directly count memory objects or pages.

      percpu-refcount: require percpu_ref to be exited explicitly · 9a1049da
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Currently, a percpu_ref undoes percpu_ref_init() automatically by
      freeing the allocated percpu area when the percpu_ref is killed.
      While seemingly convenient, this has the following niggles.
      
      * It's impossible to re-init a released reference counter without
        going through re-allocation.
      
      * In the similar vein, it's impossible to initialize a percpu_ref
        count with static percpu variables.
      
      * We need and have an explicit destructor anyway for failure paths -
        percpu_ref_cancel_init().
      
      This patch removes the automatic percpu counter freeing in
      percpu_ref_kill_rcu() and repurposes percpu_ref_cancel_init() into a
      generic destructor now named percpu_ref_exit().  percpu_ref_destroy()
      is considered but it gets confusing with percpu_ref_kill() while
      "exit" clearly indicates that it's the counterpart of
      percpu_ref_init().
      
      All percpu_ref_cancel_init() users are updated to invoke
      percpu_ref_exit() instead and explicit percpu_ref_exit() calls are
      added to the destruction path of all percpu_ref users.

      percpu-refcount: fix usage of this_cpu_ops · 0c36b390
      Sebastian Ott 提交于
      The percpu-refcount infrastructure uses the underscore variants of
      this_cpu_ops in order to modify percpu reference counters.
      (e.g. __this_cpu_inc()).
      
      However the underscore variants do not atomically update the percpu
      variable, instead they may be implemented using read-modify-write
      semantics (more than one instruction).  Therefore it is only safe to
      use the underscore variant if the context is always the same (process,
      softirq, or hardirq). Otherwise it is possible to lose updates.
      
      This problem is something that Sebastian has seen within the aio
      subsystem which uses percpu refcounters both in process and softirq
      context leading to reference counts that never dropped to zeroes; even
      though the number of "get" and "put" calls matched.
      
      Fix this by using the non-underscore this_cpu_ops variant which
      provides correct per cpu atomic semantics and fixes the corrupted
      reference counts.

      percpu-refcount: use RCU-sched insted of normal RCU · a4244454
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      percpu-refcount was incorrectly using preempt_disable/enable() for RCU
      critical sections against call_rcu().  6a24474d ("percpu-refcount:
      consistently use plain (non-sched) RCU") fixed it by converting the
      preepmtion operations with rcu_read_[un]lock() citing that there isn't
      any advantage in using sched-RCU over using the usual one; however,
      rcu_read_[un]lock() for the preemptible RCU implementation -
      CONFIG_TREE_PREEMPT_RCU, chosen when CONFIG_PREEMPT - are slightly
      more expensive than preempt_disable/enable().
      
      In a contrived microbench which repeats the followings,
      
       - percpu_ref_get()
       - copy 32 bytes of data into percpu buffer
       - percpu_put_get()
       - copy 32 bytes of data into percpu buffer
      
      rcu_read_[un]lock() used in percpu_ref_get/put() makes it go slower by
      about 15% when compared to using sched-RCU.
      
      As the RCU critical sections are extremely short, using sched-RCU
      shouldn't have any latency implications.  Convert to RCU-sched.

      percpu-refcount: implement percpu_tryget() along with percpu_ref_kill_and_confirm() · dbece3a0
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Implement percpu_tryget() which stops giving out references once the
      percpu_ref is visible as killed.  Because the refcnt is per-cpu,
      different CPUs will start to see a refcnt as killed at different
      points in time and tryget() may continue to succeed on subset of cpus
      for a while after percpu_ref_kill() returns.
      
      For use cases where it's necessary to know when all CPUs start to see
      the refcnt as dead, percpu_ref_kill_and_confirm() is added.  The new
      function takes an extra argument @confirm_kill which is invoked when
      the refcnt is guaranteed to be viewed as killed on all CPUs.
      
      While this isn't the prettiest interface, it doesn't force synchronous
      wait and is much safer than requiring the caller to do its own
