Current modification to attrs via sysfs is not fully synchronized. Process A (change cpumask) | Process B (change numa affinity) wq_cpumask_store() | wq_sysfs_prep_attrs() | | apply_workqueue_attrs() apply_workqueue_attrs() | It results that the Process B's operation is totally reverted without any notification, it is a buggy behavior.

Applying attrs requires two locks: get_online_cpus() and wq_pool_mutex, and this code is duplicated at two places (apply_workqueue_attrs() and workqueue_set_unbound_cpumask()). So we separate out this locking code into apply_wqattrs_[un]lock() and do a minor refactor on apply_workqueue_attrs().

wq_update_unbound_numa() is known be called with wq_pool_mutex held. But wq_update_unbound_numa() requests wq->mutex before reading wq->unbound_attrs, wq->numa_pwq_tbl[] and wq->dfl_pwq. But these fields were changed to be allowed being read with wq_pool_mutex held. So we simply remove the mutex_lock(&wq->mutex). Without the dependence on the the mutex_lock(&wq->mutex), the test of wq->unbound_attrs->no_numa can also be moved upward. The old code need a long comment to describe the stableness of @wq->unbound_attrs which is also guaranteed by wq_pool_mutex now, so we don't need this such comment.

Current wq_pool_mutex doesn't proctect the attrs-installation, it results that ->unbound_attrs, ->numa_pwq_tbl[] and ->dfl_pwq can only be accessed under wq->mutex and causes some inconveniences. Example, wq_update_unbound_numa() has to acquire wq->mutex before fetching the wq->unbound_attrs->no_numa and the old_pwq. attrs-installation is a short operation, so this change will no cause any latency for other operations which also acquire the wq_pool_mutex. The only unprotected attrs-installation code is in apply_workqueue_attrs(), so this patch touches code less than comments. It is also a preparation patch for next several patches which read wq->unbound_attrs, wq->numa_pwq_tbl[] and wq->dfl_pwq with only wq_pool_mutex held.

Allow to modify the low-level unbound workqueues cpumask through sysfs. This is performed by traversing the entire workqueue list and calling apply_wqattrs_prepare() on the unbound workqueues with the new low level mask. Only after all the preparation are done, we commit them all together. Ordered workqueues are ignored from the low level unbound workqueue cpumask, it will be handled in near future. All the (default & per-node) pwqs are mandatorily controlled by the low level cpumask. If the user configured cpumask doesn't overlap with the low level cpumask, the low level cpumask will be used for the wq instead. The comment of wq_calc_node_cpumask() is updated and explicitly requires that its first argument should be the attrs of the default pwq. The default wq_unbound_cpumask is cpu_possible_mask. The workqueue subsystem doesn't know its best default value, let the system manager or the other subsystem set it when needed. Changed from V8: merge the calculating code for the attrs of the default pwq together. minor change the code&comments for saving the user configured attrs. remove unnecessary list_del(). minor update the comment of wq_calc_node_cpumask(). update the comment of workqueue_set_unbound_cpumask(); Cc: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux.com> Cc: Kevin Hilman <khilman@linaro.org> Cc: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@cn.fujitsu.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <bitbucket@online.de> Cc: Paul E.

Create a cpumask that limits the affinity of all unbound workqueues. This cpumask is controlled through a file at the root of the workqueue sysfs directory. It works on a lower-level than the per WQ_SYSFS workqueues cpumask files such that the effective cpumask applied for a given unbound workqueue is the intersection of /sys/devices/virtual/workqueue/$WORKQUEUE/cpumask and the new /sys/devices/virtual/workqueue/cpumask file.

Current apply_workqueue_attrs() includes pwqs-allocation and pwqs-installation, so when we batch multiple apply_workqueue_attrs()s as a transaction, we can't ensure the transaction must succeed or fail as a complete unit. To solve this, we split apply_workqueue_attrs() into three stages. The first stage does the preparation: allocation memory, pwqs. The second stage does the attrs-installaion and pwqs-installation. The third stage frees the allocated memory and (old or unused) pwqs. As the result, batching multiple apply_workqueue_attrs()s can succeed or fail as a complete unit: 1) batch do all the first stage for all the workqueues 2) only commit all when all the above succeed. This patch is a preparation for the next patch ("Allow modifying low level unbound workqueue cpumask") which will do a multiple apply_workqueue_attrs(). The patch doesn't have functionality changed except two minor adjustment: 1) free_unbound_pwq() for the error path is removed, we use the heavier version put_pwq_unlocked() instead since the error path is rare. this adjustment simplifies the code. 2) the memory-allocation is also moved into wq_pool_mutex. this is needed to avoid to do the further splitting. tj: minor updates to comments.

Workqueues are used extensively throughout the kernel but sometimes it's difficult to debug stalls involving work items because visibility into its inner workings is fairly limited. Although sysrq-t task dump annotates each active worker task with the information on the work item being executed, it is challenging to find out which work items are pending or delayed on which queues and how pools are being managed. This patch implements show_workqueue_state() which dumps all busy workqueues and pools and is called from the sysrq-t handler. At the end of sysrq-t dump, something like the following is printed. Showing busy workqueues and worker pools: ... workqueue filler_wq: flags=0x0 pwq 2: cpus=1 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 active=2/256 in-flight: 491:filler_workfn, 507:filler_workfn pwq 0: cpus=0 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 active=2/256 in-flight: 501:filler_workfn pending: filler_workfn ... workqueue test_wq: flags=0x8 pwq 2: cpus=1 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 active=1/1 in-flight: 510(RESCUER):test_workfn BAR(69) BAR(500) delayed: test_workfn1 BAR(492), test_workfn2 ... pool 0: cpus=0 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 workers=2 manager: 137 pool 2: cpus=1 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 workers=3 manager: 469 pool 3: cpus=1 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=-20 workers=2 idle: 16 pool 8: cpus=0-3 flags=0x4 nice=0 workers=2 manager: 62 The above shows that test_wq is executing test_workfn() on pid 510 which is the rescuer and also that there are two tasks 69 and 500 waiting for the work item to finish in flush_work(). As test_wq has max_active of 1, there are two work items for test_workfn1() and test_workfn2() which are delayed till the current work item is finished. In addition, pid 492 is flushing test_workfn1(). The work item for test_workfn() is being executed on pwq of pool 2 which is the normal priority per-cpu pool for CPU 1. The pool has three workers, two of which are executing filler_workfn() for filler_wq and the last one is assuming the manager role trying to create more workers. This extra workqueue state dump will hopefully help chasing down hangs involving workqueues. v3: cpulist_pr_cont() replaced with "%*pbl" printf formatting. v2: As suggested by Andrew, minor formatting change in pr_cont_work(), printk()'s replaced with pr_info()'s, and cpumask printing now uses cpulist_pr_cont().

The workqueues list is protected by wq_pool_mutex and a workqueue and its subordinate data structures are freed directly on destruction. We want to add the ability dump workqueues from a sysrq callback which requires walking all workqueues without grabbing wq_pool_mutex. This patch makes freeing of workqueues RCU protected and makes the workqueues list walkable while holding RCU read lock. Note that pool_workqueues and pools are already sched-RCU protected. For consistency, workqueues are also protected with sched-RCU. While at it, reverse the workqueues list so that a workqueue which is created earlier comes before. The order of the list isn't significant functionally but this makes the planned sysrq dump list system workqueues first. Signed-off-by: NTejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

cancel[_delayed]_work_sync() are implemented using __cancel_work_timer() which grabs the PENDING bit using try_to_grab_pending() and then flushes the work item with PENDING set to prevent the on-going execution of the work item from requeueing itself. try_to_grab_pending() can always grab PENDING bit without blocking except when someone else is doing the above flushing during cancelation. In that case, try_to_grab_pending() returns -ENOENT. In this case, __cancel_work_timer() currently invokes flush_work(). The assumption is that the completion of the work item is what the other canceling task would be waiting for too and thus waiting for the same condition and retrying should allow forward progress without excessive busy looping Unfortunately, this doesn't work if preemption is disabled or the latter task has real time priority. Let's say task A just got woken up from flush_work() by the completion of the target work item. If, before task A starts executing, task B gets scheduled and invokes __cancel_work_timer() on the same work item, its try_to_grab_pending() will return -ENOENT as the work item is still being canceled by task A and flush_work() will also immediately return false as the work item is no longer executing. This puts task B in a busy loop possibly preventing task A from executing and clearing the canceling state on the work item leading to a hang. task A task B worker executing work __cancel_work_timer() try_to_grab_pending() set work CANCELING flush_work() block for work completion completion, wakes up A __cancel_work_timer() while (forever) { try_to_grab_pending() -ENOENT as work is being canceled flush_work() false as work is no longer executing } This patch removes the possible hang by updating __cancel_work_timer() to explicitly wait for clearing of CANCELING rather than invoking flush_work() after try_to_grab_pending() fails with -ENOENT.

A worker_pool's forward progress is guaranteed by the fact that the last idle worker assumes the manager role to create more workers and summon the rescuers if creating workers doesn't succeed in timely manner before proceeding to execute work items. This manager role is implemented in manage_workers(), which indicates whether the worker may proceed to work item execution with its return value. This is necessary because multiple workers may contend for the manager role, and, if there already is a manager, others should proceed to work item execution. Unfortunately, the function also indicates that the worker may proceed to work item execution if need_to_create_worker() is false at the head of the function. need_to_create_worker() tests the following conditions. pending work items && !nr_running && !nr_idle The first and third conditions are protected by pool->lock and thus won't change while holding pool->lock; however, nr_running can change asynchronously as other workers block and resume and while it's likely to be zero, as someone woke this worker up in the first place, some other workers could have become runnable inbetween making it non-zero. If this happens, manage_worker() could return false even with zero nr_idle making the worker, the last idle one, proceed to execute work items. If then all workers of the pool end up blocking on a resource which can only be released by a work item which is pending on that pool, the whole pool can deadlock as there's no one to create more workers or summon the rescuers. This patch fixes the problem by removing the early exit condition from maybe_create_worker() and making manage_workers() return false iff there's already another manager, which ensures that the last worker doesn't start executing work items. We can leave the early exit condition alone and just ignore the return value but the only reason it was put there is because the manage_workers() used to perform both creations and destructions of workers and thus the function may be invoked while the pool is trying to reduce the number of workers. Now that manage_workers() is called only when more workers are needed, the only case this early exit condition is triggered is rare race conditions rendering it pointless. Tested with simulated workload and modified workqueue code which trigger the pool deadlock reliably without this patch.

When there is serious memory pressure, all workers in a pool could be blocked, and a new thread cannot be created because it requires memory allocation. In this situation a WQ_MEM_RECLAIM workqueue will wake up the rescuer thread to do some work. The rescuer will only handle requests that are already on ->worklist. If max_requests is 1, that means it will handle a single request. The rescuer will be woken again in 100ms to handle another max_requests requests. I've seen a machine (running a 3.0 based "enterprise" kernel) with thousands of requests queued for xfslogd, which has a max_requests of 1, and is needed for retiring all 'xfs' write requests. When one of the worker pools gets into this state, it progresses extremely slowly and possibly never recovers (only waited an hour or two). With this patch we leave a pool_workqueue on mayday list until it is clearly no longer in need of assistance. This allows all requests to be handled in a timely fashion. We keep each pool_workqueue on the mayday list until need_to_create_worker() is false, and no work for this workqueue is found in the pool. I have tested this in combination with a (hackish) patch which forces all work items to be handled by the rescuer thread. In that context it significantly improves performance. A similar patch for a 3.0 kernel significantly improved performance on a heavy work load. Thanks to Jan Kara for some design ideas, and to Dongsu Park for some comments and testing. tj: Inverted the lock order between wq_mayday_lock and pool->lock with a preceding patch and simplified this patch.

The only place where the two locks are held together is pool_mayday_timeout() and it just got decided that way.

In 75ccf595 ("workqueue: prepare flush_workqueue() for dynamic creation and destrucion of unbound pool_workqueues"), a comment about the synchronization for the pwq in pwq_unbound_release_workfn() was added. The comment claimed the flush_mutex wasn't strictly necessary, it was correct in that time, due to the pwq was protected by workqueue_lock. But it is incorrect now since the wq->flush_mutex was renamed to wq->mutex and workqueue_lock was removed, the wq->mutex is strictly needed. But the comment was miss-updated when the synchronization was changed. This patch removes the incorrect comments and doesn't add any new comment to explain why wq->mutex is needed here, which is definitely obvious and wq->pwqs_node has "WQ" notation in its definition which is better comment. The old commit mentioned above also introduced a comment in link_pwq() about the synchronization. This comment is also removed in this patch since the whole link_pwq() is proteced by wq->mutex.

Simply unfold the code of start_worker() into create_worker() and remove the original start_worker() and create_and_start_worker(). The only trade-off is the introduced overhead that the pool->lock is released and regrabbed after the newly worker is started. The overhead is acceptible since the manager is slow path. And because this new locking behavior, the newly created worker may grab the lock earlier than the manager and go to process work items. In this case, the recheck need_to_create_worker() may be true as expected and the manager goes to restart which is the correct behavior. tj: Minor updates to description and comments.

worker_set_flags() has only two callers, each specifying %true and %false for @wakeup. Let's push the wake up to the caller and remove @wakeup from worker_set_flags(). The caller can use the following instead if wakeup is necessary: worker_set_flags(); if (need_more_worker(pool)) wake_up_worker(pool); This makes the code simpler. This patch doesn't introduce behavior changes. tj: Updated description and comments. Signed-off-by: NLai Jiangshan <laijs@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: NTejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

In process_one_work(): if ((worker->flags & WORKER_UNBOUND) && need_more_worker(pool)) wake_up_worker(pool); the first test is unneeded. Even if the first test is removed, it doesn't affect the wake-up logic for WORKER_UNBOUND, and it will not introduce any useless wake-ups for normal per-cpu workers since nr_running is always >= 1. It will introduce useless/redundant wake-ups for CPU_INTENSIVE, but this case is rare and the next patch will also remove this redundant wake-up. tj: Minor updates to the description and comment.

We don't need to wake up regular worker when nr_running==1, so need_more_worker() is sufficient here. And need_more_worker() gives us better readability due to the name of "keep_working()" implies the rescuer should keep working now but the rescuer is actually leaving.

When the create_worker() is called from non-manager, the struct worker is allocated from the node of the caller which may be different from the node of pool->node. So we add a node ID argument for the alloc_worker() to ensure the struct worker is allocated from the preferable node. tj: @nid renamed to @node for consistency.

try_to_grab_pending() was re-calculating the associated pwq using get_work_pwq() when it already has it cached in a local varible and the association can't change. Reuse the local variable instead. This doesn't introduce any functional changes. tj: Updated description. Signed-off-by: NLai Jiangshan <laijs@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: NTejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

When hot-adding and onlining CPU, kernel panic occurs, showing following call trace.

All entries of wq_numa_possible_cpumask is allocated by alloc_cpumask_var_node(). And these entries are used without initializing. So these entries have wrong value. When hot-adding and onlining CPU, wq_update_unbound_numa() is called. wq_update_unbound_numa() calls alloc_unbound_pwq(). And alloc_unbound_pwq() calls get_unbound_pool(). In get_unbound_pool(), worker_pool->node is set as follow: 3592 /* if cpumask is contained inside a NUMA node, we belong to that node */ 3593 if (wq_numa_enabled) { 3594 for_each_node(node) { 3595 if (cpumask_subset(pool->attrs->cpumask, 3596 wq_numa_possible_cpumask[node])) { 3597 pool->node = node; 3598 break; 3599 } 3600 } 3601 } But wq_numa_possible_cpumask[node] does not have correct cpumask. So, wrong node is selected. As a result, kernel panic occurs. By this patch, all entries of wq_numa_possible_cpumask are allocated by zalloc_cpumask_var_node to initialize them. And the panic disappeared.

When POOL_DISASSOCIATED is cleared, the running worker's local CPU should be the same as pool->cpu without any exception even during cpu-hotplug. This patch changes "(proposition_A && proposition_B && proposition_C)" to "(proposition_B && proposition_C)", so if the old compound proposition is true, the new one must be true too. so this won't hide any possible bug which can be hit by old test. tj: Minor description update and dropped the obvious comment.

a9ab775b ("workqueue: directly restore CPU affinity of workers from CPU_ONLINE") moved pool locking into rebind_workers() but left "pool->flags &= ~POOL_DISASSOCIATED" in workqueue_cpu_up_callback(). There is nothing necessarily wrong with it, but there is no benefit either. Let's move it into rebind_workers() and achieve the following benefits: 1) better readability, POOL_DISASSOCIATED is cleared in rebind_workers() as expected. 2) we can guarantee that, when POOL_DISASSOCIATED is clear, the running workers of the pool are on the local CPU (pool->cpu). tj: Minor description update.
