      workqueue: fix possible stall on try_to_grab_pending() of a delayed work item · 3aa62497
      Lai Jiangshan 提交于
      Currently, when try_to_grab_pending() grabs a delayed work item, it
      leaves its linked work items alone on the delayed_works.  The linked
      work items are always NO_COLOR and will cause future
      cwq_activate_first_delayed() increase cwq->nr_active incorrectly, and
      may cause the whole cwq to stall.  For example,
      
      state: cwq->max_active = 1, cwq->nr_active = 1
             one work in cwq->pool, many in cwq->delayed_works.
      
      step1: try_to_grab_pending() removes a work item from delayed_works
             but leaves its NO_COLOR linked work items on it.
      
      step2: Later on, cwq_activate_first_delayed() activates the linked
             work item increasing ->nr_active.
      
      step3: cwq->nr_active = 1, but all activated work items of the cwq are
             NO_COLOR.  When they finish, cwq->nr_active will not be
             decreased due to NO_COLOR, and no further work items will be
             activated from cwq->delayed_works. the cwq stalls.
      
      Fix it by ensuring the target work item is activated before stealing
      PENDING in try_to_grab_pending().  This ensures that all the linked
      work items are activated without incorrectly bumping cwq->nr_active.

      Because the old unbind/rebinding implementation wasn't atomic w.r.t.

      workqueue: reimplement idle worker rebinding · ea1abd61
      Lai Jiangshan 提交于
      Currently rebind_workers() uses rebinds idle workers synchronously
      before proceeding to requesting busy workers to rebind.  This is
      necessary because all workers on @worker_pool->idle_list must be bound
      before concurrency management local wake-ups from the busy workers
      take place.
      
      Unfortunately, the synchronous idle rebinding is quite complicated.
      This patch reimplements idle rebinding to simplify the code path.
      
      Rather than trying to make all idle workers bound before rebinding
      busy workers, we simply remove all to-be-bound idle workers from the
      idle list and let them add themselves back after completing rebinding
      (successful or not).
      
      As only workers which finished rebinding can on on the idle worker
      list, the idle worker list is guaranteed to have only bound workers
      unless CPU went down again and local wake-ups are safe.
      
      After the change, @worker_pool->nr_idle may deviate than the actual
      number of idle workers on @worker_pool->idle_list.  More specifically,
      nr_idle may be non-zero while ->idle_list is empty.  All users of
      ->nr_idle and ->idle_list are audited.  The only affected one is
      too_many_workers() which is updated to check %false if ->idle_list is
      empty regardless of ->nr_idle.
      
      After this patch, rebind_workers() no longer performs the nasty
      idle-rebind retries which require temporary release of gcwq->lock, and
      both unbinding and rebinding are atomic w.r.t. global_cwq->lock.
      
      worker->idle_rebind and global_cwq->rebind_hold are now unnecessary
      and removed along with the definition of struct idle_rebind.
      
      Changed from V1:
      	1) remove unlikely from too_many_workers(), ->idle_list can be empty
      	   anytime, even before this patch, no reason to use unlikely.
      	2) fix a small rebasing mistake.
      	   (which is from rebasing the orignal fixing patch to for-next)
      	3) add a lot of comments.
      	4) clear WORKER_REBIND unconditionaly in idle_worker_rebind()

      busy_worker_rebind_fn() didn't clear WORKER_REBIND if rebinding failed
      (CPU is down again).  This used to be okay because the flag wasn't
      used for anything else.
      
      However, after 25511a47 "workqueue: reimplement CPU online rebinding

      workers to rebind.  If not cleared, the worker may confuse the next
      CPU_UP cycle by having REBIND spuriously set or oops / get stuck by
      prematurely calling idle_worker_rebind().

      workqueue: fix possible idle worker depletion across CPU hotplug · ee378aa4
      Lai Jiangshan 提交于
      To simplify both normal and CPU hotplug paths, worker management is
      prevented while CPU hoplug is in progress.  This is achieved by CPU
      hotplug holding the same exclusion mechanism used by workers to ensure
      there's only one manager per pool.
      
      If someone else seems to be performing the manager role, workers
      proceed to execute work items.  CPU hotplug using the same mechanism
      can lead to idle worker depletion because all workers could proceed to
      execute work items while CPU hotplug is in progress and CPU hotplug
      itself wouldn't actually perform the worker management duty - it
      doesn't guarantee that there's an idle worker left when it releases
      management.
      
      This idle worker depletion, under extreme circumstances, can break
      forward-progress guarantee and thus lead to deadlock.
      
      This patch fixes the bug by using separate mechanisms for manager
      exclusion among workers and hotplug exclusion.  For manager exclusion,
      POOL_MANAGING_WORKERS which was restored by the previous patch is
      used.  pool->manager_mutex is now only used for exclusion between the
      elected manager and CPU hotplug.  The elected manager won't proceed
      without holding pool->manager_mutex.
      
      This ensures that the worker which won the manager position can't skip
      managing while CPU hotplug is in progress.  It will block on
      manager_mutex and perform management after CPU hotplug is complete.
      
      Note that hotplug may happen while waiting for manager_mutex.  A
      manager isn't either on idle or busy list and thus the hoplug code
      can't unbind/rebind it.  Make the manager handle its own un/rebinding.

      workqueue: restore POOL_MANAGING_WORKERS · 552a37e9

      This patch restores POOL_MANAGING_WORKERS which was replaced by
      pool->manager_mutex by 60373152 "workqueue: use mutex for global_cwq
      manager exclusion".
      
      There's a subtle idle worker depletion bug across CPU hotplug events
      and we need to distinguish an actual manager and CPU hotplug
      preventing management.  POOL_MANAGING_WORKERS will be used for the
      former and manager_mutex the later.
      
      This patch just lays POOL_MANAGING_WORKERS on top of the existing
      manager_mutex and doesn't introduce any synchronization changes.  The
      next patch will update it.
      
      Note that this patch fixes a non-critical anomaly where
      too_many_workers() may return %true spuriously while CPU hotplug is in
      progress.  While the issue could schedule idle timer spuriously, it
      didn't trigger any actual misbehavior.

      workqueue: fix possible deadlock in idle worker rebinding · ec58815a
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Currently, rebind_workers() and idle_worker_rebind() are two-way
      interlocked.  rebind_workers() waits for idle workers to finish
      rebinding and rebound idle workers wait for rebind_workers() to finish
      rebinding busy workers before proceeding.
      
      Unfortunately, this isn't enough.  The second wait from idle workers
      is implemented as follows.
      
      	wait_event(gcwq->rebind_hold, !(worker->flags & WORKER_REBIND));
      
      rebind_workers() clears WORKER_REBIND, wakes up the idle workers and
      then returns.  If CPU hotplug cycle happens again before one of the
      idle workers finishes the above wait_event(), rebind_workers() will
      repeat the first part of the handshake - set WORKER_REBIND again and
      wait for the idle worker to finish rebinding - and this leads to
      deadlock because the idle worker would be waiting for WORKER_REBIND to
      clear.
      
      This is fixed by adding another interlocking step at the end -
      rebind_workers() now waits for all the idle workers to finish the
      above WORKER_REBIND wait before returning.  This ensures that all
      rebinding steps are complete on all idle workers before the next
      hotplug cycle can happen.
      
      This problem was diagnosed by Lai Jiangshan who also posted a patch to
      fix the issue, upon which this patch is based.
      
      This is the minimal fix and further patches are scheduled for the next
      merge window to simplify the CPU hotplug path.

      workqueue: reimplement cancel_delayed_work() using try_to_grab_pending() · 57b30ae7
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      cancel_delayed_work() can't be called from IRQ handlers due to its use
      of del_timer_sync() and can't cancel work items which are already
      transferred from timer to worklist.
      
      Also, unlike other flush and cancel functions, a canceled delayed_work
      would still point to the last associated cpu_workqueue.  If the
      workqueue is destroyed afterwards and the work item is re-used on a
      different workqueue, the queueing code can oops trying to dereference
      already freed cpu_workqueue.
      
      This patch reimplements cancel_delayed_work() using
      try_to_grab_pending() and set_work_cpu_and_clear_pending().  This
      allows the function to be called from IRQ handlers and makes its
      behavior consistent with other flush / cancel functions.

      workqueue: use irqsafe timer for delayed_work · e0aecdd8

      Up to now, for delayed_works, try_to_grab_pending() couldn't be used

      workqueue: make all workqueues non-reentrant · dbf2576e
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      By default, each per-cpu part of a bound workqueue operates separately
      and a work item may be executing concurrently on different CPUs.  The
      behavior avoids some cross-cpu traffic but leads to subtle weirdities
      and not-so-subtle contortions in the API.
      
      * There's no sane usefulness in allowing a single work item to be
        executed concurrently on multiple CPUs.  People just get the
        behavior unintentionally and get surprised after learning about it.
        Most either explicitly synchronize or use non-reentrant/ordered
        workqueue but this is error-prone.
      
      * flush_work() can't wait for multiple instances of the same work item
        on different CPUs.  If a work item is executing on cpu0 and then
        queued on cpu1, flush_work() can only wait for the one on cpu1.
      
        Unfortunately, work items can easily cross CPU boundaries
        unintentionally when the queueing thread gets migrated.  This means
        that if multiple queuers compete, flush_work() can't even guarantee
        that the instance queued right before it is finished before
        returning.
      
      * flush_work_sync() was added to work around some of the deficiencies
        of flush_work().  In addition to the usual flushing, it ensures that
        all currently executing instances are finished before returning.
        This operation is expensive as it has to walk all CPUs and at the
        same time fails to address competing queuer case.
      
        Incorrectly using flush_work() when flush_work_sync() is necessary
        is an easy error to make and can lead to bugs which are difficult to
        reproduce.
      
      * Similar problems exist for flush_delayed_work[_sync]().
      
      Other than the cross-cpu access concern, there's no benefit in
      allowing parallel execution and it's plain silly to have this level of
      contortion for workqueue which is widely used from core code to
      extremely obscure drivers.
      
      This patch makes all workqueues non-reentrant.  If a work item is
      executing on a different CPU when queueing is requested, it is always
      queued to that CPU.  This guarantees that any given work item can be
      executing on one CPU at maximum and if a work item is queued and
      executing, both are on the same CPU.
      
      The only behavior change which may affect workqueue users negatively
      is that non-reentrancy overrides the affinity specified by
      queue_work_on().  On a reentrant workqueue, the affinity specified by
      queue_work_on() is always followed.  Now, if the work item is
      executing on one of the CPUs, the work item will be queued there
      regardless of the requested affinity.  I've reviewed all workqueue
      users which request explicit affinity, and, fortunately, none seems to
      be crazy enough to exploit parallel execution of the same work item.
      
      This adds an additional busy_hash lookup if the work item was
      previously queued on a different CPU.  This shouldn't be noticeable
      under any sane workload.  Work item queueing isn't a very
      high-frequency operation and they don't jump across CPUs all the time.
      In a micro benchmark to exaggerate this difference - measuring the
      time it takes for two work items to repeatedly jump between two CPUs a
      number (10M) of times with busy_hash table densely populated, the
      difference was around 3%.
      
      While the overhead is measureable, it is only visible in pathological
      cases and the difference isn't huge.  This change brings much needed
      sanity to workqueue and makes its behavior consistent with timer.  I
      think this is the right tradeoff to make.
      
      This enables significant simplification of workqueue API.
      Simplification patches will follow.

      workqueue: fix CPU binding of flush_delayed_work[_sync]() · 1265057f
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      delayed_work encodes the workqueue to use and the last CPU in
      delayed_work->work.data while it's on timer.  The target CPU is
      implicitly recorded as the CPU the timer is queued on and
      delayed_work_timer_fn() queues delayed_work->work to the CPU it is
      running on.
      
      Unfortunately, this leaves flush_delayed_work[_sync]() no way to find
      out which CPU the delayed_work was queued for when they try to
      re-queue after killing the timer.  Currently, it chooses the local CPU
      flush is running on.  This can unexpectedly move a delayed_work queued
      on a specific CPU to another CPU and lead to subtle errors.
      
      There isn't much point in trying to save several bytes in struct
      delayed_work, which is already close to a hundred bytes on 64bit with
      all debug options turned off.  This patch adds delayed_work->cpu to
      remember the CPU it's queued for.
      
      Note that if the timer is migrated during CPU down, the work item
      could be queued to the downed global_cwq after this change.  As a
      detached global_cwq behaves like an unbound one, this doesn't change
      much for the delayed_work.

      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Workqueue was lacking a mechanism to modify the timeout of an already

      this using several methods - using an explicit timer + work item,
      messing directly with delayed_work->timer, and canceling before
      re-queueing, all of which are error-prone and/or ugly.
      
      This patch implements mod_delayed_work[_on]() which behaves similarly
      to mod_timer() - if the delayed_work is idle, it's queued with the

      Zero @delay guarantees immediate execution.

      workqueue: mark a work item being canceled as such · bbb68dfa
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      There can be two reasons try_to_grab_pending() can fail with -EAGAIN.
      One is when someone else is queueing or deqeueing the work item.  With
      the previous patches, it is guaranteed that PENDING and queued state
      will soon agree making it safe to busy-retry in this case.
      
      The other is if multiple __cancel_work_timer() invocations are racing
      one another.  __cancel_work_timer() grabs PENDING and then waits for
      running instances of the target work item on all CPUs while holding
      PENDING and !queued.  try_to_grab_pending() invoked from another task
      will keep returning -EAGAIN while the current owner is waiting.
      
      Not distinguishing the two cases is okay because __cancel_work_timer()
      is the only user of try_to_grab_pending() and it invokes
      wait_on_work() whenever grabbing fails.  For the first case, busy
      looping should be fine but wait_on_work() doesn't cause any critical
      problem.  For the latter case, the new contender usually waits for the
      same condition as the current owner, so no unnecessarily extended
      busy-looping happens.  Combined, these make __cancel_work_timer()
      technically correct even without irq protection while grabbing PENDING
      or distinguishing the two different cases.
      
      While the current code is technically correct, not distinguishing the
      two cases makes it difficult to use try_to_grab_pending() for other
      purposes than canceling because it's impossible to tell whether it's
      safe to busy-retry grabbing.
      
      This patch adds a mechanism to mark a work item being canceled.
      try_to_grab_pending() now disables irq on success and returns -EAGAIN
      to indicate that grabbing failed but PENDING and queued states are
      gonna agree soon and it's safe to busy-loop.  It returns -ENOENT if
      the work item is being canceled and it may stay PENDING && !queued for
      arbitrary amount of time.
      
      __cancel_work_timer() is modified to mark the work canceling with
      WORK_OFFQ_CANCELING after grabbing PENDING, thus making
      try_to_grab_pending() fail with -ENOENT instead of -EAGAIN.  Also, it
      invokes wait_on_work() iff grabbing failed with -ENOENT.  This isn't
      necessary for correctness but makes it consistent with other future
      users of try_to_grab_pending().
      
      v2: try_to_grab_pending() was testing preempt_count() to ensure that
          the caller has disabled preemption.  This triggers spuriously if
          !CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT.  Use preemptible() instead.  Reported by
          Fengguang Wu.
      
      v3: Updated so that try_to_grab_pending() disables irq on success
          rather than requiring preemption disabled by the caller.  This
          makes busy-looping easier and will allow try_to_grap_pending() to
          be used from bh/irq contexts.

      Low WORK_STRUCT_FLAG_BITS bits of work_struct->data contain
      WORK_STRUCT_FLAG_* and flush color.  If the work item is queued, the
      rest point to the cpu_workqueue with WORK_STRUCT_CWQ set; otherwise,
      WORK_STRUCT_CWQ is clear and the bits contain the last CPU number -
      either a real CPU number or one of WORK_CPU_*.
      
      Scheduled addition of mod_delayed_work[_on]() requires an additional
      flag, which is used only while a work item is off queue.  There are
      more than enough bits to represent off-queue CPU number on both 32 and
      64bits.  This patch introduces WORK_OFFQ_FLAG_* which occupy the lower
      part of the @work->data high bits while off queue.  This patch doesn't
      define any actual OFFQ flag yet.
      
      Off-queue CPU number is now shifted by WORK_OFFQ_CPU_SHIFT, which adds
      the number of bits used by OFFQ flags to WORK_STRUCT_FLAG_SHIFT, to
      make room for OFFQ flags.
      
      To avoid shift width warning with large WORK_OFFQ_FLAG_BITS, ulong
      cast is added to WORK_STRUCT_NO_CPU and, just in case, BUILD_BUG_ON()
      to check that there are enough bits to accomodate off-queue CPU number

      workqueue: move try_to_grab_pending() upwards · bf4ede01
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      try_to_grab_pending() will be used by to-be-implemented
      mod_delayed_work[_on]().  Move try_to_grab_pending() and related
      functions above queueing functions.
      
      This patch only moves functions around.

      workqueue: fix zero @delay handling of queue_delayed_work_on() · 715f1300
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      If @delay is zero and the dealyed_work is idle, queue_delayed_work()
      queues it for immediate execution; however, queue_delayed_work_on()
      lacks this logic and always goes through timer regardless of @delay.
      
      This patch moves 0 @delay handling logic from queue_delayed_work() to
      queue_delayed_work_on() so that both functions behave the same.

      workqueue: unify local CPU queueing handling · 57469821
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Queueing functions have been using different methods to determine the
      local CPU.
      
      * queue_work() superflously uses get/put_cpu() to acquire and hold the
        local CPU across queue_work_on().
      
      * delayed_work_timer_fn() uses smp_processor_id().
      
      * queue_delayed_work() calls queue_delayed_work_on() with -1 @cpu
        which is interpreted as the local CPU.
      
      * flush_delayed_work[_sync]() were using raw_smp_processor_id().
      
      * __queue_work() interprets %WORK_CPU_UNBOUND as local CPU if the
        target workqueue is bound one but nobody uses this.
      
      This patch converts all functions to uniformly use %WORK_CPU_UNBOUND
      to indicate local CPU and use the local binding feature of
      __queue_work().  unlikely() is dropped from %WORK_CPU_UNBOUND handling
      in __queue_work().

      workqueue: set delayed_work->timer function on initialization · d8e794df
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      delayed_work->timer.function is currently initialized during
      queue_delayed_work_on().  Export delayed_work_timer_fn() and set
      delayed_work timer function during delayed_work initialization
      together with other fields.
      
      This ensures the timer function is always valid on an initialized
      delayed_work.  This is to help mod_delayed_work() implementation.
      
      To detect delayed_work users which diddle with the internal timer,
      trigger WARN if timer function doesn't match on queue.

      workqueue: disable irq while manipulating PENDING · 8930caba
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Queueing operations use WORK_STRUCT_PENDING_BIT to synchronize access
      to the target work item.  They first try to claim the bit and proceed
      with queueing only after that succeeds and there's a window between
      PENDING being set and the actual queueing where the task can be
      interrupted or preempted.
      
      There's also a similar window in process_one_work() when clearing
      PENDING.  A work item is dequeued, gcwq->lock is released and then
      PENDING is cleared and the worker might get interrupted or preempted
      between releasing gcwq->lock and clearing PENDING.
      
      cancel[_delayed]_work_sync() tries to claim or steal PENDING.  The
      function assumes that a work item with PENDING is either queued or in
      the process of being [de]queued.  In the latter case, it busy-loops
      until either the work item loses PENDING or is queued.  If canceling
      coincides with the above described interrupts or preemptions, the
      canceling task will busy-loop while the queueing or executing task is
      preempted.
      
      This patch keeps irq disabled across claiming PENDING and actual
      queueing and moves PENDING clearing in process_one_work() inside
      gcwq->lock so that busy looping from PENDING && !queued doesn't wait
      for interrupted/preempted tasks.  Note that, in process_one_work(),
      setting last CPU and clearing PENDING got merged into single
      operation.
      
      This removes possible long busy-loops and will allow using
      try_to_grab_pending() from bh and irq contexts.
      
      v2: __queue_work() was testing preempt_count() to ensure that the
          caller has disabled preemption.  This triggers spuriously if
          !CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT.  Use preemptible() instead.  Reported by
          Fengguang Wu.
      
      v3: Disable irq instead of preemption.  IRQ will be disabled while
          grabbing gcwq->lock later anyway and this allows using
          try_to_grab_pending() from bh and irq contexts.

      workqueue: add missing smp_wmb() in process_one_work() · 959d1af8
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      WORK_STRUCT_PENDING is used to claim ownership of a work item and
      process_one_work() releases it before starting execution.  When
      someone else grabs PENDING, all pre-release updates to the work item
      should be visible and all updates made by the new owner should happen
      afterwards.
      
      Grabbing PENDING uses test_and_set_bit() and thus has a full barrier;
      however, clearing doesn't have a matching wmb.  Given the preceding
      spin_unlock and use of clear_bit, I don't believe this can be a
      problem on an actual machine and there hasn't been any related report
      but it still is theretically possible for clear_pending to permeate
      upwards and happen before work->entry update.
      
      Add an explicit smp_wmb() before work_clear_pending().
