The C standard does not specify the result of an operation that overflows a signed integer, so such operations need to be avoided. This patch changes the type of several fields from "long" to "unsigned long" and adjusts operations as needed. ULONG_CMP_GE() and ULONG_CMP_LT() macros are introduced to do the modular comparisons that are appropriate given that overflow is an expected event.

Grace periods cannot be started while force_quiescent_state() is active. This is OK in that the affected CPUs will try again later, but it does induce needless grace-period delays. This patch causes rcu_start_gp() to record a failed attempt to start a grace period.

The comparisons of rsp->gpnum nad rsp->completed in rcu_process_dyntick() and force_quiescent_state() can be replaced by the much more clear rcu_gp_in_progress() predicate function. After doing this, it becomes clear that the RCU_SAVE_COMPLETED leg of the force_quiescent_state() function's switch statement is almost completely a no-op. A small change to the RCU_SAVE_DYNTICK leg renders it a complete no-op, after which it can be removed. Doing so also eliminates the forcenow local variable from force_quiescent_state().

Reduce the number and variety of race conditions by prohibiting the start of a new grace period while force_quiescent_state() is active. A new fqs_active flag in the rcu_state structure is used to trace whether or not force_quiescent_state() is active, and this new flag is tested by rcu_start_gp(). If the CPU that closed out the last grace period needs another grace period, this new grace period may be delayed up to one scheduling-clock tick, but it will eventually get started.

The number of "quiet" functions has grown recently, and the names are no longer very descriptive. The point of all of these functions is to do some portion of the task of reporting a quiescent state, so rename them accordingly: o cpu_quiet() becomes rcu_report_qs_rdp(), which reports a quiescent state to the per-CPU rcu_data structure. If this turns out to be a new quiescent state for this grace period, then rcu_report_qs_rnp() will be invoked to propagate the quiescent state up the rcu_node hierarchy. o cpu_quiet_msk() becomes rcu_report_qs_rnp(), which reports a quiescent state for a given CPU (or possibly a set of CPUs) up the rcu_node hierarchy. o cpu_quiet_msk_finish() becomes rcu_report_qs_rsp(), which reports a full set of quiescent states to the global rcu_state structure. o task_quiet() becomes rcu_report_unblock_qs_rnp(), which reports a quiescent state due to a task exiting an RCU read-side critical section that had previously blocked in that same critical section. As indicated by the new name, this type of quiescent state is reported up the rcu_node hierarchy (using rcu_report_qs_rnp() to do so). Signed-off-by: NPaul E.

When the last CPU of a given leaf rcu_node structure goes offline, all of the tasks queued on that leaf rcu_node structure (due to having blocked in their current RCU read-side critical sections) are requeued onto the root rcu_node structure. This requeuing is carried out by rcu_preempt_offline_tasks(). However, it is possible that these queued tasks are the only thing preventing the leaf rcu_node structure from reporting a quiescent state up the rcu_node hierarchy. Unfortunately, the old code would fail to do this reporting, resulting in a grace-period stall given the following sequence of events: 1. Kernel built for more than 32 CPUs on 32-bit systems or for more than 64 CPUs on 64-bit systems, so that there is more than one rcu_node structure. (Or CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT is artificially set to a number smaller than CONFIG_NR_CPUS.) 2. The kernel is built with CONFIG_TREE_PREEMPT_RCU. 3. A task running on a CPU associated with a given leaf rcu_node structure blocks while in an RCU read-side critical section -and- that CPU has not yet passed through a quiescent state for the current RCU grace period. This will cause the task to be queued on the leaf rcu_node's blocked_tasks[] array, in particular, on the element of this array corresponding to the current grace period. 4. Each of the remaining CPUs corresponding to this same leaf rcu_node structure pass through a quiescent state. However, the task is still in its RCU read-side critical section, so these quiescent states cannot be reported further up the rcu_node hierarchy. Nevertheless, all bits in the leaf rcu_node structure's ->qsmask field are now zero. 5. Each of the remaining CPUs go offline. (The events in step #4 and #5 can happen in any order as long as each CPU passes through a quiescent state before going offline.) 6. When the last CPU goes offline, __rcu_offline_cpu() will invoke rcu_preempt_offline_tasks(), which will move the task to the root rcu_node structure, but without reporting a quiescent state up the rcu_node hierarchy (and this failure to report a quiescent state is the bug). But because this leaf rcu_node structure's ->qsmask field is already zero and its ->block_tasks[] entries are all empty, force_quiescent_state() will skip this rcu_node structure. Therefore, grace periods are now hung. This patch abstracts some code out of rcu_read_unlock_special(), calling the result task_quiet() by analogy with cpu_quiet(), and invokes task_quiet() from both rcu_read_lock_special() and __rcu_offline_cpu(). Invoking task_quiet() from __rcu_offline_cpu() reports the quiescent state up the rcu_node hierarchy, fixing the bug. This ends up requiring a separate lock_class_key per level of the rcu_node hierarchy, which this patch also provides. Signed-off-by: NPaul E.

Impose a clear locking design on the rcu_process_gp_end() function's use of the ->completed counter. This is done by creating a ->completed field in the rcu_node structure, which can safely be accessed under the protection of that structure's lock. Performance and scalability are maintained by using a form of double-checked locking, so that rcu_process_gp_end() only acquires the leaf rcu_node structure's ->lock if a grace period has recently ended. This fix reduces rcutorture failure rate by at least two orders of magnitude under heavy stress with force_quiescent_state() being invoked artificially often. Without this fix, unsynchronized access to the ->completed field can cause rcu_process_gp_end() to advance callbacks whose grace period has not yet expired. (Bad idea!) Signed-off-by: NPaul E.

Very long RCU read-side critical sections (50 milliseconds or so) can cause a race between force_quiescent_state() and rcu_start_gp() as follows on kernel builds with multi-level rcu_node hierarchies: 1. CPU 0 calls force_quiescent_state(), sees that there is a grace period in progress, and acquires ->fsqlock. 2. CPU 1 detects the end of the grace period, and so cpu_quiet_msk_finish() sets rsp->completed to rsp->gpnum. This operation is carried out under the root rnp->lock, but CPU 0 has not yet acquired that lock. Note that rsp->signaled is still RCU_SAVE_DYNTICK from the last grace period. 3. CPU 1 calls rcu_start_gp(), but no one wants a new grace period, so it drops the root rnp->lock and returns. 4. CPU 0 acquires the root rnp->lock and picks up rsp->completed and rsp->signaled, then drops rnp->lock. It then enters the RCU_SAVE_DYNTICK leg of the switch statement. 5. CPU 2 invokes call_rcu(), and now needs a new grace period. It calls rcu_start_gp(), which acquires the root rnp->lock, sets rsp->signaled to RCU_GP_INIT (too bad that CPU 0 is already in the RCU_SAVE_DYNTICK leg of the switch statement!) and starts initializing the rcu_node hierarchy. If there are multiple levels to the hierarchy, it will drop the root rnp->lock and initialize the lower levels of the hierarchy. 6. CPU 0 notes that rsp->completed has not changed, which permits both CPU 2 and CPU 0 to try updating it concurrently. If CPU 0's update prevails, later calls to force_quiescent_state() can count old quiescent states against the new grace period, which can in turn result in premature ending of grace periods. Not good. This patch adds an RCU_GP_IDLE state for rsp->signaled that is set initially at boot time and any time a grace period ends. This prevents CPU 0 from getting into the workings of force_quiescent_state() in step 4. Additional locking and checks prevent the concurrent update of rsp->signaled in step 6.

If the following sequence of events occurs, then TREE_PREEMPT_RCU will hang waiting for a grace period to complete, eventually OOMing the system: o A TREE_PREEMPT_RCU build of the kernel is booted on a system with more than 64 physical CPUs present (32 on a 32-bit system). Alternatively, a TREE_PREEMPT_RCU build of the kernel is booted with RCU_FANOUT set to a sufficiently small value that the physical CPUs populate two or more leaf rcu_node structures. o A task is preempted in an RCU read-side critical section while running on a CPU corresponding to a given leaf rcu_node structure. o All CPUs corresponding to this same leaf rcu_node structure record quiescent states for the current grace period. o All of these same CPUs go offline (hence the need for enough physical CPUs to populate more than one leaf rcu_node structure). This causes the preempted task to be moved to the root rcu_node structure. At this point, there is nothing left to cause the quiescent state to be propagated up the rcu_node tree, so the current grace period never completes. The simplest fix, especially after considering the deadlock possibilities, is to detect this situation when the last CPU is offlined, and to set that CPU's ->qsmask bit in its leaf rcu_node structure. This will cause the next invocation of force_quiescent_state() to end the grace period. Without this fix, this hang can be triggered in an hour or so on some machines with rcutorture and random CPU onlining/offlining. With this fix, these same machines pass a full 10 hours of this sort of abuse. Signed-off-by: NPaul E.

The current interaction between RCU and CPU hotplug requires that RCU block in CPU notifiers waiting for callbacks to drain. This can be greatly simplified by having each CPU relinquish its own callbacks, and for both _rcu_barrier() and CPU_DEAD notifiers to adopt all callbacks that were previously relinquished. This change also eliminates the possibility of certain types of hangs due to the previous practice of waiting for callbacks to be invoked from within CPU notifiers. If you don't every wait, you cannot hang. Signed-off-by: NPaul E.

These issues identified during an old-fashioned face-to-face code review extending over many hours. This group improves an existing abstraction and introduces two new ones. It also fixes an RCU stall-warning bug found while making the other changes. o Make RCU_INIT_FLAVOR() declare its own variables, removing the need to declare them at each call site. o Create an rcu_for_each_leaf() macro that scans the leaf nodes of the rcu_node tree. o Create an rcu_for_each_node_breadth_first() macro that does a breadth-first traversal of the rcu_node tree, AKA stepping through the array in index-number order. o If all CPUs corresponding to a given leaf rcu_node structure go offline, then any tasks queued on that leaf will be moved to the root rcu_node structure. Therefore, the stall-warning code must dump out tasks queued on the root rcu_node structure as well as those queued on the leaf rcu_node structures. Signed-off-by: NPaul E.

These issues identified during an old-fashioned face-to-face code review extending over many hours. o Add comments for tricky parts of code, and correct comments that have passed their sell-by date. o Get rid of the vestiges of rcu_init_sched(), which is no longer needed now that PREEMPT_RCU is gone. o Move the #include of rcutree_plugin.h to the end of rcutree.c, which means that, rather than having a random collection of forward declarations, the new set of forward declarations document the set of plugins. The new home for this #include also allows __rcu_init_preempt() to move into rcutree_plugin.h. o Fix rcu_preempt_check_callbacks() to be static.

These issues identified during an old-fashioned face-to-face code review extended over many hours. o Bury various forms of the "rsp->completed == rsp->gpnum" comparison into an rcu_gp_in_progress() function, which has the beneficial side-effect of forcing consistent use of ACCESS_ONCE(). o Replace hand-coded arithmetic with DIV_ROUND_UP(). o Bury several "!list_empty(&rnp->blocked_tasks[rnp->gpnum & 0x01])" instances into an rcu_preempted_readers() function, as this expression indicates that there are no readers blocked within RCU read-side critical sections blocking the current grace period. (Though there might well be similar readers blocking the next grace period.) o Remove a dangling rcu_restart_cpu() declaration that has been dangling for almost 20 minor releases of the kernel.

Create a kernel/rcutree_plugin.h file that contains definitions for preemptable RCU (or, under the #else branch of the #ifdef, empty definitions for the classic non-preemptable semantics). These definitions fit into plugins defined in kernel/rcutree.c for this purpose. This variant of preemptable RCU uses a new algorithm whose read-side expense is roughly that of classic hierarchical RCU under CONFIG_PREEMPT. This new algorithm's update-side expense is similar to that of classic hierarchical RCU, and, in absence of read-side preemption or blocking, is exactly that of classic hierarchical RCU. Perhaps more important, this new algorithm has a much simpler implementation, saving well over 1,000 lines of code compared to mainline's implementation of preemptable RCU, which will hopefully be retired in favor of this new algorithm. The simplifications are obtained by maintaining per-task nesting state for running tasks, and using a simple lock-protected algorithm to handle accounting when tasks block within RCU read-side critical sections, making use of lessons learned while creating numerous user-level RCU implementations over the past 18 months.

Impact: cleanup We want to remove rcutree internals from the public rcutree.h file for upcoming kmemtrace changes - but kernel/rcutree_trace.c depends on them. Introduce kernel/rcutree.h for internal definitions. (Probably all the other data types from include/linux/rcutree.h could be moved here too - except rcu_data.)
