Currently, rcu_init_geometry() only reshapes RCU's combining trees if the leaf fanout is changed at boot time. This means that by default, kernels compiled with (say) NR_CPUS=4096 will keep oversized data structures, even when running on systems with (say) four CPUs. This commit therefore checks to see if the maximum number of CPUs on the actual running system (nr_cpu_ids) differs from NR_CPUS, and if so reshapes the combining trees accordingly.

If CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_EXACT=y, if there are not enough CPUs (according to nr_cpu_ids) to require more than a single rcu_node structure, but if NR_CPUS is larger than would fit into a single rcu_node structure, then the current rcu_init_levelspread() code is subject to integer overflow in the eight-bit ->levelspread[] array in the rcu_state structure. In this case, the solution is -not- to increase the size of the elements in this array because the values in that array should be constrained to the number of bits in an unsigned long. Instead, this commit replaces NR_CPUS with nr_cpu_ids in the rcu_init_levelspread() function's initialization of the cprv local variable. This results in all of the arithmetic being consistently based off of the nr_cpu_ids value, thus avoiding the overflow, which was caused by the mixing of nr_cpu_ids and NR_CPUS.

The current quiescent-state detection algorithm is needlessly complex. It records the grace-period number corresponding to the quiescent state at the time of the quiescent state, which works, but it seems better to simply erase any record of previous quiescent states at the time that the CPU notices the new grace period. This has the further advantage of removing another piece of RCU for which lockless reasoning is required. Therefore, this commit makes this change. Signed-off-by: NPaul E.

The current approach to grace-period initialization is vulnerable to extremely low-probability races. These races stem from the fact that the old grace period is marked completed on the same traversal through the rcu_node structure that is marking the start of the new grace period. This means that some rcu_node structures will believe that the old grace period is still in effect at the same time that other rcu_node structures believe that the new grace period has already started. These sorts of disagreements can result in too-short grace periods, as shown in the following scenario: 1. CPU 0 completes a grace period, but needs an additional grace period, so starts initializing one, initializing all the non-leaf rcu_node structures and the first leaf rcu_node structure. Because CPU 0 is both completing the old grace period and starting a new one, it marks the completion of the old grace period and the start of the new grace period in a single traversal of the rcu_node structures. Therefore, CPUs corresponding to the first rcu_node structure can become aware that the prior grace period has completed, but CPUs corresponding to the other rcu_node structures will see this same prior grace period as still being in progress. 2. CPU 1 passes through a quiescent state, and therefore informs the RCU core. Because its leaf rcu_node structure has already been initialized, this CPU's quiescent state is applied to the new (and only partially initialized) grace period. 3. CPU 1 enters an RCU read-side critical section and acquires a reference to data item A. Note that this CPU believes that its critical section started after the beginning of the new grace period, and therefore will not block this new grace period. 4. CPU 16 exits dyntick-idle mode. Because it was in dyntick-idle mode, other CPUs informed the RCU core of its extended quiescent state for the past several grace periods. This means that CPU 16 is not yet aware that these past grace periods have ended. Assume that CPU 16 corresponds to the second leaf rcu_node structure -- which has not yet been made aware of the new grace period. 5. CPU 16 removes data item A from its enclosing data structure and passes it to call_rcu(), which queues a callback in the RCU_NEXT_TAIL segment of the callback queue. 6. CPU 16 enters the RCU core, possibly because it has taken a scheduling-clock interrupt, or alternatively because it has more than 10,000 callbacks queued. It notes that the second most recent grace period has completed (recall that because it corresponds to the second as-yet-uninitialized rcu_node structure, it cannot yet become aware that the most recent grace period has completed), and therefore advances its callbacks. The callback for data item A is therefore in the RCU_NEXT_READY_TAIL segment of the callback queue. 7. CPU 0 completes initialization of the remaining leaf rcu_node structures for the new grace period, including the structure corresponding to CPU 16. 8. CPU 16 again enters the RCU core, again, possibly because it has taken a scheduling-clock interrupt, or alternatively because it now has more than 10,000 callbacks queued. It notes that the most recent grace period has ended, and therefore advances its callbacks. The callback for data item A is therefore in the RCU_DONE_TAIL segment of the callback queue. 9. All CPUs other than CPU 1 pass through quiescent states. Because CPU 1 already passed through its quiescent state, the new grace period completes. Note that CPU 1 is still in its RCU read-side critical section, still referencing data item A. 10. Suppose that CPU 2 wais the last CPU to pass through a quiescent state for the new grace period, and suppose further that CPU 2 did not have any callbacks queued, therefore not needing an additional grace period. CPU 2 therefore traverses all of the rcu_node structures, marking the new grace period as completed, but does not initialize a new grace period. 11. CPU 16 yet again enters the RCU core, yet again possibly because it has taken a scheduling-clock interrupt, or alternatively because it now has more than 10,000 callbacks queued. It notes that the new grace period has ended, and therefore advances its callbacks. The callback for data item A is therefore in the RCU_DONE_TAIL segment of the callback queue. This means that this callback is now considered ready to be invoked. 12. CPU 16 invokes the callback, freeing data item A while CPU 1 is still referencing it. This scenario represents a day-zero bug for TREE_RCU. This commit therefore ensures that the old grace period is marked completed in all leaf rcu_node structures before a new grace period is marked started in any of them. That said, it would have been insanely difficult to force this race to happen before the grace-period initialization process was preemptible. Therefore, this commit is not a candidate for -stable.

Although almost everyone is well-served by the defaults, some uses of RCU benefit from shorter grace periods, while others benefit more from the greater efficiency provided by longer grace periods. Situations requiring a large number of grace periods to elapse (and wireshark startup has been called out as an example of this) are helped by lower-latency grace periods. Furthermore, in some embedded applications, people are willing to accept a small degradation in update efficiency (due to there being more of the shorter grace-period operations) in order to gain the lower latency. In contrast, those few systems with thousands of CPUs need longer grace periods because the CPU overhead of a grace period rises roughly linearly with the number of CPUs. Such systems normally do not make much use of facilities that require large numbers of grace periods to elapse, so this is a good tradeoff. Therefore, this commit allows the durations to be controlled from sysfs. There are two sysfs parameters, one named "jiffies_till_first_fqs" that specifies the delay in jiffies from the end of grace-period initialization until the first attempt to force quiescent states, and the other named "jiffies_till_next_fqs" that specifies the delay (again in jiffies) between subsequent attempts to force quiescent states. They both default to three jiffies, which is compatible with the old hard-coded behavior. At some future time, it may be possible to automatically increase the grace-period length with the number of CPUs, but we do not yet have sufficient data to do a good job. Preliminary data indicates that we should add an addiitonal jiffy to each of the delays for every 200 CPUs in the system, but more experimentation is needed. For now, the number of systems with more than 1,000 CPUs is small enough that this can be relegated to boot-time hand tuning. Signed-off-by: NPaul E.

Large systems running RCU_FAST_NO_HZ kernels see extreme memory contention on the rcu_state structure's ->fqslock field. This can be avoided by disabling RCU_FAST_NO_HZ, either at compile time or at boot time (via the nohz kernel boot parameter), but large systems will no doubt become sensitive to energy consumption. This commit therefore uses a combining-tree approach to spread the memory contention across new cache lines in the leaf rcu_node structures. This can be thought of as a tournament lock that has only a try-lock acquisition primitive. The effect on small systems is minimal, because such systems have an rcu_node "tree" consisting of a single node. In addition, this functionality is not used on fastpaths. Signed-off-by: NPaul E.

Earlier versions of RCU invoked the RCU core from the CPU_DYING notifier in order to note a quiescent state for the outgoing CPU. Because the CPU is marked "offline" during the execution of the CPU_DYING notifiers, the RCU core had to tolerate being invoked from an offline CPU. However, commit b1420f1c (Make rcu_barrier() less disruptive) left only tracing code in the CPU_DYING notifier, so the RCU core need no longer execute on offline CPUs.

The next step in reducing RCU's grace-period initialization latency on large systems will make this initialization preemptible. Unfortunately, making the grace-period initialization subject to interrupts (let alone preemption) exposes the following race on systems whose rcu_node tree contains more than one node: 1. CPU 31 starts initializing the grace period, including the first leaf rcu_node structures, and is then preempted. 2. CPU 0 refers to the first leaf rcu_node structure, and notes that a new grace period has started. It passes through a quiescent state shortly thereafter, and informs the RCU core of this rite of passage. 3. CPU 0 enters an RCU read-side critical section, acquiring a pointer to an RCU-protected data item. 4. CPU 31 takes an interrupt whose handler removes the data item referenced by CPU 0 from the data structure, and registers an RCU callback in order to free it. 5. CPU 31 resumes initializing the grace period, including its own rcu_node structure. In invokes rcu_start_gp_per_cpu(), which advances all callbacks, including the one registered in #4 above, to be handled by the current grace period. 6. The remaining CPUs pass through quiescent states and inform the RCU core, but CPU 0 remains in its RCU read-side critical section, still referencing the now-removed data item. 7. The grace period completes and all the callbacks are invoked, including the one that frees the data item that CPU 0 is still referencing. Oops!!! One way to avoid this race is to remove grace-period acceleration from rcu_start_gp_per_cpu(). Now, the only reason for this acceleration was to allow CPUs bringing RCU out of idle state to have their callbacks invoked after only one grace period, rather than the two grace periods that would otherwise be required. But this acceleration does not work when RCU grace-period initialization is moved to a kthread because the CPU posting the callback is no longer necessarily the CPU that is initializing the resulting grace period. This commit therefore removes this now-pointless (and soon to be dangerous) grace-period acceleration, thus avoiding the above race. Signed-off-by: NPaul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Each grace period is supposed to have at least one callback waiting for that grace period to complete. However, if CONFIG_NO_HZ=n, an extra callback-free grace period is no big problem -- it will chew up a tiny bit of CPU time, but it will complete normally. In contrast, CONFIG_NO_HZ=y kernels have the potential for all the CPUs to go to sleep indefinitely, in turn indefinitely delaying completion of the callback-free grace period. Given that nothing is waiting on this grace period, this is also not a problem. That is, unless RCU CPU stall warnings are also enabled, as they are in recent kernels. In this case, if a CPU wakes up after at least one minute of inactivity, an RCU CPU stall warning will result. The reason that no one noticed until quite recently is that most systems have enough OS noise that they will never remain absolutely idle for a full minute. But there are some embedded systems with cut-down userspace configurations that consistently get into this situation. All this begs the question of exactly how a callback-free grace period gets started in the first place. This can happen due to the fact that CPUs do not necessarily agree on which grace period is in progress. If a CPU still believes that the grace period that just completed is still ongoing, it will believe that it has callbacks that need to wait for another grace period, never mind the fact that the grace period that they were waiting for just completed. This CPU can therefore erroneously decide to start a new grace period. Note that this can happen in TREE_RCU and TREE_PREEMPT_RCU even on a single-CPU system: Deadlock considerations mean that the CPU that detected the end of the grace period is not necessarily officially informed of this fact for some time. Once this CPU notices that the earlier grace period completed, it will invoke its callbacks. It then won't have any callbacks left. If no other CPU has any callbacks, we now have a callback-free grace period. This commit therefore makes CPUs check more carefully before starting a new grace period. This new check relies on an array of tail pointers into each CPU's list of callbacks. If the CPU is up to date on which grace periods have completed, it checks to see if any callbacks follow the RCU_DONE_TAIL segment, otherwise it checks to see if any callbacks follow the RCU_WAIT_TAIL segment. The reason that this works is that the RCU_WAIT_TAIL segment will be promoted to the RCU_DONE_TAIL segment as soon as the CPU is officially notified that the old grace period has ended. This change is to cpu_needs_another_gp(), which is called in a number of places. The only one that really matters is in rcu_start_gp(), where the root rcu_node structure's ->lock is held, which prevents any other CPU from starting or completing a grace period, so that the comparison that determines whether the CPU is missing the completion of a grace period is stable.

This commit therefore introduces a counter-based scheme that allows _rcu_barrier() calls for the same flavor of RCU to take advantage of each others' work. Signed-off-by: NPaul E.

For global variables, C defaults all fields to zero. The initialization of the rcu_state structure's ->n_force_qs and ->n_force_qs_ngp fields is therefore redundant, so this commit removes these initializations. Signed-off-by: NPaul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

In order to allow each RCU flavor to concurrently execute its rcu_barrier() function, it is necessary to move the relevant state to the rcu_state structure. This commit therefore moves the rcu_barrier_mutex global variable to a new ->barrier_mutex field in the rcu_state structure. Signed-off-by: NPaul E.

In order for multiple flavors of RCU to each concurrently run one rcu_barrier(), each flavor needs its own per-CPU set of rcu_head structures. This commit therefore moves _rcu_barrier()'s set of per-CPU rcu_head structures from per-CPU variables to the existing per-CPU and per-RCU-flavor rcu_data structures. Signed-off-by: NPaul E.
