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>

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>

Add a 1 second delay before starting to scan the working set of a task and starting to balance it amongst nodes. [ note that before the constant per task WSS sampling rate patch the initial scan would happen much later still, in effect that patch caused this regression. ] The theory is that short-run tasks benefit very little from NUMA placement: they come and go, and they better stick to the node they were started on. As tasks mature and rebalance to other CPUs and nodes, so does their NUMA placement have to change and so does it start to matter more and more. In practice this change fixes an observable kbuild regression: # [ a perf stat --null --repeat 10 test of ten bzImage builds to /dev/shm ] !NUMA: 45.291088843 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.40% ) 45.154231752 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.36% ) +NUMA, no slow start: 46.172308123 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.30% ) 46.343168745 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.25% ) +NUMA, 1 sec slow start: 45.224189155 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.25% ) 45.160866532 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.17% ) and it also fixes an observable perf bench (hackbench) regression: # perf stat --null --repeat 10 perf bench sched messaging -NUMA: -NUMA: 0.246225691 seconds time elapsed ( +- 1.31% ) +NUMA no slow start: 0.252620063 seconds time elapsed ( +- 1.13% ) +NUMA 1sec delay: 0.248076230 seconds time elapsed ( +- 1.35% ) The implementation is simple and straightforward, most of the patch deals with adding the /proc/sys/kernel/numa_balancing_scan_delay_ms tunable knob.

Previously, to probe the working set of a task, we'd use a very simple and crude method: mark all of its address space PROT_NONE. That method has various (obvious) disadvantages: - it samples the working set at dissimilar rates, giving some tasks a sampling quality advantage over others. - creates performance problems for tasks with very large working sets - over-samples processes with large address spaces but which only very rarely execute Improve that method by keeping a rotating offset into the address space that marks the current position of the scan, and advance it by a constant rate (in a CPU cycles execution proportional manner). If the offset reaches the last mapped address of the mm then it then it starts over at the first address. The per-task nature of the working set sampling functionality in this tree allows such constant rate, per task, execution-weight proportional sampling of the working set, with an adaptive sampling interval/frequency that goes from once per 100ms up to just once per 8 seconds. The current sampling volume is 256 MB per interval. As tasks mature and converge their working set, so does the sampling rate slow down to just a trickle, 256 MB per 8 seconds of CPU time executed. This, beyond being adaptive, also rate-limits rarely executing systems and does not over-sample on overloaded systems. [ In AutoNUMA speak, this patch deals with the effective sampling rate of the 'hinting page fault'. AutoNUMA's scanning is currently rate-limited, but it is also fundamentally single-threaded, executing in the knuma_scand kernel thread, so the limit in AutoNUMA is global and does not scale up with the number of CPUs, nor does it scan tasks in an execution proportional manner. So the idea of rate-limiting the scanning was first implemented in the AutoNUMA tree via a global rate limit. This patch goes beyond that by implementing an execution rate proportional working set sampling rate that is not implemented via a single global scanning daemon. ] [ Dan Carpenter pointed out a possible NULL pointer dereference in the first version of this patch. ] Based-on-idea-by: NAndrea Arcangeli <aarcange@redhat.com> Bug-Found-By: NDan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: NPeter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@redhat.com> Cc: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> [ Wrote changelog and fixed bug. ] Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: NMel Gorman <mgorman@suse.de> Reviewed-by: NRik van Riel <riel@redhat.com>

This patch creates a bare-bones method for setting PTEs pte_numa in the context of the scheduler that when faulted later will be faulted onto the node the CPU is running on. In itself this does nothing useful but any placement policy will fundamentally depend on receiving hints on placement from fault context and doing something intelligent about it.

Although megaraid is already fixed by c1d390d8 ("megaraid: fix BUG_ON() from incorrect use of delayed work"), this patch converts BUG_ON()s in __queue_delayed_work() to WARN_ON_ONCE()s so that such abusers, if there are more, trigger warning but don't crash the machine.

This reverts commit 800d4d30. Between commits 8323f26c ("sched: Fix race in task_group()") and 800d4d30 ("sched, autogroup: Stop going ahead if autogroup is disabled"), autogroup is a wreck. With both applied, all you have to do to crash a box is disable autogroup during boot up, then reboot.. boom, NULL pointer dereference due to commit 800d4d30 not allowing autogroup to move things, and commit 8323f26c making that the only way to switch runqueues: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null) IP: [<ffffffff81063ac0>] effective_load.isra.43+0x50/0x90 Pid: 7047, comm: systemd-user-se Not tainted 3.6.8-smp #7 MEDIONPC MS-7502/MS-7502 RIP: effective_load.isra.43+0x50/0x90 Process systemd-user-se (pid: 7047, threadinfo ffff880221dde000, task ffff88022618b3a0) Call Trace: select_task_rq_fair+0x255/0x780 try_to_wake_up+0x156/0x2c0 wake_up_state+0xb/0x10 signal_wake_up+0x28/0x40 complete_signal+0x1d6/0x250 __send_signal+0x170/0x310 send_signal+0x40/0x80 do_send_sig_info+0x47/0x90 group_send_sig_info+0x4a/0x70 kill_pid_info+0x3a/0x60 sys_kill+0x97/0x1a0 ? vfs_read+0x120/0x160 ? sys_read+0x45/0x90 system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b Code: 49 0f af 41 50 31 d2 49 f7 f0 48 83 f8 01 48 0f 46 c6 48 2b 07 48 8b bf 40 01 00 00 48 85 ff 74 3a 45 31 c0 48 8b 8f 50 01 00 00 <48> 8b 11 4c 8b 89 80 00 00 00 49 89 d2 48 01 d0 45 8b 59 58 4c RIP [<ffffffff81063ac0>] effective_load.isra.43+0x50/0x90 RSP <ffff880221ddfbd8> CR2: 0000000000000000 Signed-off-by: NMike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Acked-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Cc: Yong Zhang <yong.zhang0@gmail.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 2.6.39+ Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

cgroup_clear_directroy is called by cgroup_d_remove_dir and cgroup_remount. when we call cgroup_remount to remount the cgroup,the subsystem may be unlinked from cgroupfs_root->subsys_list in rebind_subsystem,this subsystem's files will not be removed in cgroup_clear_directroy. And the system will panic when we try to access these files. this patch removes subsystems's files before rebind_subsystems, if rebind_subsystems failed, repopulate these removed files.

Add the arch symbol prefix (if applicable) to the asm definition of modsign_certificate_list and modsign_certificate_list_end. This uses the recently defined SYMBOL_PREFIX which is derived from CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX. This fixes the build of module signing on the blackfin and metag architectures.

Recently, workqueue code has gone through some changes and we found some bugs related to concurrency management operations happening on the wrong CPU. When a worker is concurrency managed (!WORKER_NOT_RUNNIG), it should be bound to its associated cpu and woken up to that cpu. Add WARN_ON_ONCE() to verify this.

Return type of work_busy() is unsigned int. There is return statement returning boolean value, 'false' in work_busy(). It is not problem, because 'false' may be treated '0'. However, fixing it would make code robust. Signed-off-by: NJoonsoo Kim <js1304@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: NTejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
