      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: 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().

      workqueue: remove CPU offline trustee · 628c78e7
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      With the previous changes, a disassociated global_cwq now can run as
      an unbound one on its own - it can create workers as necessary to
      drain remaining works after the CPU has been brought down and manage
      the number of workers using the usual idle timer mechanism making
      trustee completely redundant except for the actual unbinding
      operation.
      
      This patch removes the trustee and let a disassociated global_cwq
      manage itself.  Unbinding is moved to a work item (for CPU affinity)
      which is scheduled and flushed from CPU_DONW_PREPARE.

      workqueue: don't butcher idle workers on an offline CPU · 3ce63377
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Currently, during CPU offlining, after all pending work items are
      drained, the trustee butchers all workers.  Also, on CPU onlining
      failure, workqueue_cpu_callback() ensures that the first idle worker
      is destroyed.  Combined, these guarantee that an offline CPU doesn't
      have any worker for it once all the lingering work items are finished.
      
      This guarantee isn't really necessary and makes CPU on/offlining more
      expensive than needs to be, especially for platforms which use CPU
      hotplug for powersaving.
      
      This patch lets offline CPUs removes idle worker butchering from the
      trustee and let a CPU which failed onlining keep the created first
      worker.  The first worker is created if the CPU doesn't have any
      during CPU_DOWN_PREPARE and started right away.  If onlining succeeds,
      the rebind_workers() call in CPU_ONLINE will rebind it like any other
      workers.  If onlining fails, the worker is left alone till the next
      try.
      
      This makes CPU hotplugs cheaper by allowing global_cwqs to keep
      workers across them and simplifies code.
      
      Note that trustee doesn't re-arm idle timer when it's done and thus
      the disassociated global_cwq will keep all workers until it comes back
      online.  This will be improved by further patches.

      workqueue: reimplement CPU online rebinding to handle idle workers · 25511a47
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Currently, if there are left workers when a CPU is being brough back
      online, the trustee kills all idle workers and scheduled rebind_work
      so that they re-bind to the CPU after the currently executing work is
      finished.  This works for busy workers because concurrency management
      doesn't try to wake up them from scheduler callbacks, which require
      the target task to be on the local run queue.  The busy worker bumps
      concurrency counter appropriately as it clears WORKER_UNBOUND from the
      rebind work item and it's bound to the CPU before returning to the
      idle state.
      
      To reduce CPU on/offlining overhead (as many embedded systems use it
      for powersaving) and simplify the code path, workqueue is planned to
      be modified to retain idle workers across CPU on/offlining.  This
      patch reimplements CPU online rebinding such that it can also handle
      idle workers.
      
      As noted earlier, due to the local wakeup requirement, rebinding idle
      workers is tricky.  All idle workers must be re-bound before scheduler
      callbacks are enabled.  This is achieved by interlocking idle
      re-binding.  Idle workers are requested to re-bind and then hold until
      all idle re-binding is complete so that no bound worker starts
      executing work item.  Only after all idle workers are re-bound and
      parked, CPU_ONLINE proceeds to release them and queue rebind work item
      to busy workers thus guaranteeing scheduler callbacks aren't invoked
      until all idle workers are ready.
      
      worker_rebind_fn() is renamed to busy_worker_rebind_fn() and
      idle_worker_rebind() for idle workers is added.  Rebinding logic is
      moved to rebind_workers() and now called from CPU_ONLINE after
      flushing trustee.  While at it, add CPU sanity check in
      worker_thread().
      
      Note that now a worker may become idle or the manager between trustee
      release and rebinding during CPU_ONLINE.  As the previous patch
      updated create_worker() so that it can be used by regular manager
      while unbound and this patch implements idle re-binding, this is safe.
      
      This prepares for removal of trustee and keeping idle workers across
      CPU hotplugs.

      workqueue: drop @bind from create_worker() · bc2ae0f5
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Currently, create_worker()'s callers are responsible for deciding
      whether the newly created worker should be bound to the associated CPU
      and create_worker() sets WORKER_UNBOUND only for the workers for the
      unbound global_cwq.  Creation during normal operation is always via
      maybe_create_worker() and @bind is true.  For workers created during
      hotplug, @bind is false.
      
      Normal operation path is planned to be used even while the CPU is
      going through hotplug operations or offline and this static decision
      won't work.
      
      Drop @bind from create_worker() and decide whether to bind by looking
      at GCWQ_DISASSOCIATED.  create_worker() will also set WORKER_UNBOUND
      autmatically if disassociated.  To avoid flipping GCWQ_DISASSOCIATED
      while create_worker() is in progress, the flag is now allowed to be
      changed only while holding all manager_mutexes on the global_cwq.
      
      This requires that GCWQ_DISASSOCIATED is not cleared behind trustee's
      back.  CPU_ONLINE no longer clears DISASSOCIATED before flushing
      trustee, which clears DISASSOCIATED before rebinding remaining workers
      if asked to release.  For cases where trustee isn't around, CPU_ONLINE
      clears DISASSOCIATED after flushing trustee.  Also, now, first_idle
      has UNBOUND set on creation which is explicitly cleared by CPU_ONLINE
      while binding it.  These convolutions will soon be removed by further
      simplification of CPU hotplug path.

      POOL_MANAGING_WORKERS is used to ensure that at most one worker takes
      the manager role at any given time on a given global_cwq.  Trustee
      later hitched on it to assume manager adding blocking wait for the
      bit.  As trustee already needed a custom wait mechanism, waiting for
      MANAGING_WORKERS was rolled into the same mechanism.
      
      Trustee is scheduled to be removed.  This patch separates out
      MANAGING_WORKERS wait into per-pool mutex.  Workers use
      mutex_trylock() to test for manager role and trustee uses mutex_lock()
      to claim manager roles.
      
      gcwq_claim/release_management() helpers are added to grab and release
      manager roles of all pools on a global_cwq.  gcwq_claim_management()

      workqueue: perform cpu down operations from low priority cpu_notifier() · 65758202
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Currently, all workqueue cpu hotplug operations run off
      CPU_PRI_WORKQUEUE which is higher than normal notifiers.  This is to
      ensure that workqueue is up and running while bringing up a CPU before
      other notifiers try to use workqueue on the CPU.
      
      Per-cpu workqueues are supposed to remain working and bound to the CPU
      for normal CPU_DOWN_PREPARE notifiers.  This holds mostly true even
      with workqueue offlining running with higher priority because
      workqueue CPU_DOWN_PREPARE only creates a bound trustee thread which
      runs the per-cpu workqueue without concurrency management without
      explicitly detaching the existing workers.
      
      However, if the trustee needs to create new workers, it creates
      unbound workers which may wander off to other CPUs while
      CPU_DOWN_PREPARE notifiers are in progress.  Furthermore, if the CPU
      down is cancelled, the per-CPU workqueue may end up with workers which
      aren't bound to the CPU.
      
      While reliably reproducible with a convoluted artificial test-case
      involving scheduling and flushing CPU burning work items from CPU down
      notifiers, this isn't very likely to happen in the wild, and, even
      when it happens, the effects are likely to be hidden by the following
      successful CPU down.
      
      Fix it by using different priorities for up and down notifiers - high
      priority for up operations and low priority for down operations.
      
      Workqueue cpu hotplug operations will soon go through further cleanup.

      workqueue: reimplement WQ_HIGHPRI using a separate worker_pool · 3270476a
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      WQ_HIGHPRI was implemented by queueing highpri work items at the head
      of the global worklist.  Other than queueing at the head, they weren't
      handled differently; unfortunately, this could lead to execution
      latency of a few seconds on heavily loaded systems.
      
      Now that workqueue code has been updated to deal with multiple
      worker_pools per global_cwq, this patch reimplements WQ_HIGHPRI using
      a separate worker_pool.  NR_WORKER_POOLS is bumped to two and
      gcwq->pools[0] is used for normal pri work items and ->pools[1] for
      highpri.  Highpri workers get -20 nice level and has 'H' suffix in
      their names.  Note that this change increases the number of kworkers
      per cpu.
      
      POOL_HIGHPRI_PENDING, pool_determine_ins_pos() and highpri chain
      wakeup code in process_one_work() are no longer used and removed.

      paths which need to manipulate all pools in a gcwq to use them.
      NR_WORKER_POOLS is currently one and for_each_worker_pool() iterates
      over only @gcwq->pool.
      
      Note that nr_running is per-pool property and converted to an array
      with NR_WORKER_POOLS elements and renamed to pool_nr_running.  Note
      that get_pool_nr_running() currently assumes 0 index.  The next patch
      will make use of non-zero index.
      
      The changes in this patch are mechanical and don't caues any
      functional difference.  This is to prepare for multiple pools per
      gcwq.
      
      v2: nr_running indexing bug in get_pool_nr_running() fixed.
      
      v3: Pointer to array is stupid.  Don't use it in get_pool_nr_running()
          as suggested by Linus.

      lockdep: fix oops in processing workqueue · 4d82a1de
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      Under memory load, on x86_64, with lockdep enabled, the workqueue's
      process_one_work() has been seen to oops in __lock_acquire(), barfing
      on a 0xffffffff00000000 pointer in the lockdep_map's class_cache[].
      
      Because it's permissible to free a work_struct from its callout function,
      the map used is an onstack copy of the map given in the work_struct: and
      that copy is made without any locking.
      
      Surprisingly, gcc (4.5.1 in Hugh's case) uses "rep movsl" rather than
      "rep movsq" for that structure copy: which might race with a workqueue
      user's wait_on_work() doing lock_map_acquire() on the source of the
      copy, putting a pointer into the class_cache[], but only in time for
      the top half of that pointer to be copied to the destination map.
      
      Boom when process_one_work() subsequently does lock_map_acquire()
      on its onstack copy of the lockdep_map.
      
      Fix this, and a similar instance in call_timer_fn(), with a
      lockdep_copy_map() function which additionally NULLs the class_cache[].
      
      Note: this oops was actually seen on 3.4-next, where flush_work() newly
      does the racing lock_map_acquire(); but Tejun points out that 3.4 and
      earlier are already vulnerable to the same through wait_on_work().

      workqueue: skip nr_running sanity check in worker_enter_idle() if trustee is active · 544ecf31
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      worker_enter_idle() has WARN_ON_ONCE() which triggers if nr_running
      isn't zero when every worker is idle.  This can trigger spuriously
      while a cpu is going down due to the way trustee sets %WORKER_ROGUE
      and zaps nr_running.
      
      It first sets %WORKER_ROGUE on all workers without updating
      nr_running, releases gcwq->lock, schedules, regrabs gcwq->lock and
      then zaps nr_running.  If the last running worker enters idle
      inbetween, it would see stale nr_running which hasn't been zapped yet
      and trigger the WARN_ON_ONCE().
      
      Fix it by performing the sanity check iff the trustee is idle.

      workqueue: Catch more locking problems with flush_work() · 0976dfc1
      Stephen Boyd 提交于
      If a workqueue is flushed with flush_work() lockdep checking can
      be circumvented. For example:
      
       static DEFINE_MUTEX(mutex);
      
       static void my_work(struct work_struct *w)
       {
               mutex_lock(&mutex);
               mutex_unlock(&mutex);
       }
      
       static DECLARE_WORK(work, my_work);
      
       static int __init start_test_module(void)
       {
               schedule_work(&work);
               return 0;
       }
       module_init(start_test_module);
      
       static void __exit stop_test_module(void)
       {
               mutex_lock(&mutex);
               flush_work(&work);
               mutex_unlock(&mutex);
       }
       module_exit(stop_test_module);
      
      would not always print a warning when flush_work() was called.
      In this trivial example nothing could go wrong since we are
      guaranteed module_init() and module_exit() don't run concurrently,
      but if the work item is schedule asynchronously we could have a
      scenario where the work item is running just at the time flush_work()
      is called resulting in a classic ABBA locking problem.
      
      Add a lockdep hint by acquiring and releasing the work item
      lockdep_map in flush_work() so that we always catch this
      potential deadlock scenario.

      Block: use a freezable workqueue for disk-event polling · 62d3c543
      Alan Stern 提交于
      This patch (as1519) fixes a bug in the block layer's disk-events
      polling.  The polling is done by a work routine queued on the
      system_nrt_wq workqueue.  Since that workqueue isn't freezable, the
      polling continues even in the middle of a system sleep transition.
      
      Obviously, polling a suspended drive for media changes and such isn't
      a good thing to do; in the case of USB mass-storage devices it can
      lead to real problems requiring device resets and even re-enumeration.
      
      The patch fixes things by creating a new system-wide, non-reentrant,
      freezable workqueue and using it for disk-events polling.

      workqueue: separate out drain_workqueue() from destroy_workqueue() · 9c5a2ba7

      There are users which want to drain workqueues without destroying it.
      Separate out drain functionality from destroy_workqueue() into
      drain_workqueue() and make it accessible to workqueue users.
      
      To guarantee forward-progress, only chain queueing is allowed while
      drain is in progress.  If a new work item which isn't chained from the
      running or pending work items is queued while draining is in progress,
      WARN_ON_ONCE() is triggered.

      percpu: Always align percpu output section to PAGE_SIZE · 0415b00d
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Percpu allocator honors alignment request upto PAGE_SIZE and both the
      percpu addresses in the percpu address space and the translated kernel
      addresses should be aligned accordingly.  The calculation of the
      former depends on the alignment of percpu output section in the kernel
      image.
      
      The linker script macros PERCPU_VADDR() and PERCPU() are used to
      define this output section and the latter takes @align parameter.
      Several architectures are using @align smaller than PAGE_SIZE breaking
      percpu memory alignment.
      
      This patch removes @align parameter from PERCPU(), renames it to
      PERCPU_SECTION() and makes it always align to PAGE_SIZE.  While at it,
      add PCPU_SETUP_BUG_ON() checks such that alignment problems are
      reliably detected and remove percpu alignment comment recently added
      in workqueue.c as the condition would trigger BUG way before reaching
      there.
      
      For um, this patch raises the alignment of percpu area.  As the area
      is in .init, there shouldn't be any noticeable difference.

      failure on mn10300.

      debugobjects: Add hint for better object identification · 99777288

      In complex subsystems like mac80211 structures can contain several
      timers and work structs, so identifying a specific instance from the
      call trace and object type output of debugobjects can be hard.
      
      Allow the subsystems which support debugobjects to provide a hint
      function. This function returns a pointer to a kernel address
      (preferrably the objects callback function) which is printed along
      with the debugobjects type.
      
      Add hint methods for timer_list, work_struct and hrtimer.
