Move gcwq->lock to pool->lock. The conversion is mostly straight-forward. Things worth noting are * In many places, this removes the need to use gcwq completely. pool is used directly instead. get_std_worker_pool() is added to help some of these conversions. This also leaves get_work_gcwq() without any user. Removed. * In hotplug and freezer paths, the pools belonging to a CPU are often processed together. This patch makes those paths hold locks of all pools, with highpri lock nested inside, to keep the conversion straight-forward. These nested lockings will be removed by following patches.

There's no functional necessity for the two pools on the same CPU to share the busy hash table. It's also likely to be a bottleneck when implementing pools with user-specified attributes. This patch makes busy_hash per-pool. The conversion is mostly straight-forward. Changes worth noting are, * Large block of changes in rebind_workers() is moving the block inside for_each_worker_pool() as now there are separate hash tables for each pool. This changes the order of operations but doesn't break anything. * Thre for_each_worker_pool() loops in gcwq_unbind_fn() are combined into one. This again changes the order of operaitons but doesn't break anything.

Currently, when a work item is off-queue, work->data records the CPU it was last on, which is used to locate the last executing instance for non-reentrance, flushing, etc. We're in the process of removing global_cwq and making worker_pool the top level abstraction. This patch makes work->data point to the pool it was last associated with instead of CPU. After the previous WORK_OFFQ_POOL_CPU and worker_poo->id additions, the conversion is fairly straight-forward. WORK_OFFQ constants and functions are modified to record and read back pool ID instead. worker_pool_by_id() is added to allow looking up pool from ID. get_work_pool() replaces get_work_gcwq(), which is reimplemented using get_work_pool(). get_work_pool_id() replaces work_cpu().

PF_WQ_WORKER is used to tell scheduler that the task is a workqueue worker and needs wq_worker_sleeping/waking_up() invoked on it for concurrency management. As rescuers never participate in concurrency management, PF_WQ_WORKER wasn't set on them. There's a need for an interface which can query whether %current is executing a work item and if so which. Such interface requires a way to identify all tasks which may execute work items and PF_WQ_WORKER will be used for that. As all normal workers always have PF_WQ_WORKER set, we only need to add it to rescuers. As rescuers start with WORKER_PREP but never clear it, it's always NOT_RUNNING and there's no need to worry about it interfering with concurrency management even if PF_WQ_WORKER is set; however, unlike normal workers, rescuers currently don't have its worker struct as kthread_data(). It uses the associated workqueue_struct instead. This is problematic as wq_worker_sleeping/waking_up() expect struct worker at kthread_data(). This patch adds worker->rescue_wq and start rescuer kthreads with worker struct as kthread_data and sets PF_WQ_WORKER on rescuers.

To avoid executing the same work item concurrenlty, workqueue hashes currently busy workers according to their current work items and looks up the the table when it wants to execute a new work item. If there already is a worker which is executing the new work item, the new item is queued to the found worker so that it gets executed only after the current execution finishes. Unfortunately, a work item may be freed while being executed and thus recycled for different purposes. If it gets recycled for a different work item and queued while the previous execution is still in progress, workqueue may make the new work item wait for the old one although the two aren't really related in any way. In extreme cases, this false dependency may lead to deadlock although it's extremely unlikely given that there aren't too many self-freeing work item users and they usually don't wait for other work items. To alleviate the problem, record the current work function in each busy worker and match it together with the work item address in find_worker_executing_work(). While this isn't complete, it ensures that unrelated work items don't interact with each other and in the very unlikely case where a twisted wq user triggers it, it's always onto itself making the culprit easy to spot.

Ptrace jailers want to be sure that the tracee can never escape from the control. However if the tracer dies unexpectedly the tracee continues to run in potentially unsafe mode. Add the new ptrace option PTRACE_O_EXITKILL. If the tracer exits it sends SIGKILL to every tracee which has this bit set. Note that the new option is not equal to the last-option << 1. Because currently all options have an event, and the new one starts the eventless group. It uses the random 20 bit, so we have the room for 12 more events, but we can also add the new eventless options below this one. Suggested by Amnon Shiloh.

This reverts commit f269ae04. It turns out it causes a very noticeable interactivity regression with CONFIG_SCHED_AUTOGROUP (test-case: "make -j32" of the kernel in a terminal window, while scrolling in a browser - the autogrouping means that the two end up in separate cgroups, and the browser should be smooth as silk despite the high load). Says Paul Turner: "It seems that the update-throttling on the wake-side is reducing the interactive tasks' ability to preempt. While I suspect the right longer term answer here is force these updates only in the cross-cgroup case; this is less trivial. For this release I believe the right answer is either going to be a revert or restore the updates on the enqueue-side."

Due to the fact that migrations are driven by the CPU a task is running on there is no point tracking NUMA faults until one task runs on a new node. This patch tracks the first node used by an address space. Until it changes, PTE scanning is disabled and no NUMA hinting faults are trapped. This should help workloads that are short-lived, do not care about NUMA placement or have bound themselves to a single node. This takes advantage of the logic in "mm: sched: numa: Implement slow start for working set sampling" to delay when the checks are made. This will take advantage of processes that set their CPU and node bindings early in their lifetime. It will also potentially allow any initial load balancing to take place.

由 Mel Gorman 提交于
The PTE scanning rate and fault rates are two of the biggest sources of system CPU overhead with automatic NUMA placement. Ideally a proper policy would detect if a workload was properly placed, schedule and adjust the PTE scanning rate accordingly. We do not track the necessary information to do that but we at least know if we migrated or not. This patch scans slower if a page was not migrated as the result of a NUMA hinting fault up to sysctl_numa_balancing_scan_period_max which is now higher than the previous default. Once every minute it will reset the scanner in case of phase changes. This is hilariously crude and the numbers are arbitrary. Workloads will converge quite slowly in comparison to what a proper policy should be able to do. On the plus side, we will chew up less CPU for workloads that have no need for automatic balancing. Signed-off-by: NMel Gorman <mgorman@suse.de>

由 Mel Gorman 提交于
Currently the rate of scanning for an address space is controlled by the individual tasks. The next scan is simply determined by 2*p->numa_scan_period. The 2*p->numa_scan_period is arbitrary and never changes. At this point there is still no proper policy that decides if a task or process is properly placed. It just scans and assumes the next NUMA fault will place it properly. As it is assumed that pages will get properly placed over time, increase the scan window each time a fault is incurred. This is a big assumption as noted in the comments. It should be noted that changing to p->numa_scan_period will increase system CPU usage because now the scanning rate has effectively doubled. If that is a problem then the min_rate should be made 200ms instead of restoring the 2* logic. Signed-off-by: NMel Gorman <mgorman@suse.de>

由 Mel Gorman 提交于
If there are a large number of NUMA hinting faults and all of them are resulting in migrations it may indicate that memory is just bouncing uselessly around. NUMA balancing cost is likely exceeding any benefit from locality. Rate limit the PTE updates if the node is migration rate-limited. As noted in the comments, this distorts the NUMA faulting statistics. Signed-off-by: NMel Gorman <mgorman@suse.de>
