To speed cpu down processing up, use system_highpri_wq. As scheduling priority of workers on it is higher than system_wq and it is not contended by other normal works on this cpu, work on it is processed faster than system_wq. tj: CPU up/downs care quite a bit about latency these days.

In rebind_workers(), we do inserting a work to rebind to cpu for busy workers. Currently, in this case, we use only system_wq. This makes a possible error situation as there is mismatch between cwq->pool and worker->pool. To prevent this, we should use system_highpri_wq for highpri worker to match theses.

Commit 3270476a ('workqueue: reimplement WQ_HIGHPRI using a separate worker_pool') introduce separate worker pool for HIGHPRI. When we handle busyworkers for gcwq, it can be normal worker or highpri worker. But, we don't consider this difference in rebind_workers(), we use just system_wq for highpri worker. It makes mismatch between cwq->pool and worker->pool. It doesn't make error in current implementation, but possible in the future. Now, we introduce system_highpri_wq to use proper cwq for highpri workers in rebind_workers(). Following patch fix this issue properly. tj: Even apart from rebinding, having system_highpri_wq generally makes sense.

Any operation which clears PENDING should be preceded by a wmb to guarantee that the next PENDING owner sees all the changes made before PENDING release. There are only two places where PENDING is cleared - set_work_cpu_and_clear_pending() and clear_work_data(). The caller of the former already does smp_wmb() but the latter doesn't have any. Move the wmb above set_work_cpu_and_clear_pending() into it and add one to clear_work_data(). There hasn't been any report related to this issue, and, given how clear_work_data() is used, it is extremely unlikely to have caused any actual problems on any architecture.

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.

Workqueue was lacking a mechanism to modify the timeout of an already pending delayed_work. delayed_work users have been working around 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 given delay; otherwise, its timeout is modified to the new value. Zero @delay guarantees immediate execution. v2: Updated to reflect try_to_grab_pending() changes. Now safe to be called from bh context.

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. Signed-off-by: NTejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Fengguang Wu <fengguang.wu@intel.com>

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 is added.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. Signed-off-by: NTejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: N"Rafael J. Wysocki" <rjw@sisk.pl>

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() always grabs pool manager mutexes in ascending pool index order and uses pool index as lockdep subclass.

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. Signed-off-by: NTejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Acked-by: N"Rafael J. Wysocki" <rjw@sisk.pl>

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. This allows proper prioritization of highpri work items and removes high execution latency of highpri work items. v2: nr_running indexing bug in get_pool_nr_running() fixed. v3: Refreshed for the get_pool_nr_running() update in the previous patch.

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.

Move worklist and all worker management fields from global_cwq into the new struct worker_pool. worker_pool points back to the containing gcwq. worker and cpu_workqueue_struct are updated to point to worker_pool instead of gcwq too. This change is mechanical and doesn't introduce any functional difference other than rearranging of fields and an added level of indirection in some places. This is to prepare for multiple pools per gcwq. v2: Comment typo fixes as suggested by Namhyung. Signed-off-by: NTejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org>

Unbound wqs aren't concurrency-managed and try to execute work items as soon as possible. This is currently achieved by implicitly setting %WQ_HIGHPRI on all unbound workqueues; however, WQ_HIGHPRI implementation is about to be restructured and this usage won't be valid anymore. Add an explicit chain-wakeup path for unbound workqueues in process_one_work() instead of piggy backing on %WQ_HIGHPRI. Signed-off-by: NTejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

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(). * Patch orginally from Peter. Hugh modified it a bit and wrote the description.

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. Signed-off-by: NTejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Reported-by: N"Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
