Now that we have added breaks in the wait queue scan and allow bookmark on scan position, we put this logic in the wake_up_page_bit function. We can have very long page wait list in large system where multiple pages share the same wait list. We break the wake up walk here to allow other cpus a chance to access the list, and not to disable the interrupts when traversing the list for too long. This reduces the interrupt and rescheduling latency, and excessive page wait queue lock hold time.

We encountered workloads that have very long wake up list on large systems. A waker takes a long time to traverse the entire wake list and execute all the wake functions. We saw page wait list that are up to 3700+ entries long in tests of large 4 and 8 socket systems. It took 0.8 sec to traverse such list during wake up. Any other CPU that contends for the list spin lock will spin for a long time. It is a result of the numa balancing migration of hot pages that are shared by many threads. Multiple CPUs waking are queued up behind the lock, and the last one queued has to wait until all CPUs did all the wakeups. The page wait list is traversed with interrupt disabled, which caused various problems. This was the original cause that triggered the NMI watch dog timer in: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9800303/ . Only extending the NMI watch dog timer there helped. This patch bookmarks the waker's scan position in wake list and break the wake up walk, to allow access to the list before the waker resume its walk down the rest of the wait list. It lowers the interrupt and rescheduling latency. This patch also provides a performance boost when combined with the next patch to break up page wakeup list walk. We saw 22% improvement in the will-it-scale file pread2 test on a Xeon Phi system running 256 threads.

Tim Chen and Kan Liang have been battling a customer load that shows extremely long page wakeup lists. The cause seems to be constant NUMA migration of a hot page that is shared across a lot of threads, but the actual root cause for the exact behavior has not been found. Tim has a patch that batches the wait list traversal at wakeup time, so that we at least don't get long uninterruptible cases where we traverse and wake up thousands of processes and get nasty latency spikes. That is likely 4.14 material, but we're still discussing the page waitqueue specific parts of it. In the meantime, I've tried to look at making the page wait queues less expensive, and failing miserably. If you have thousands of threads waiting for the same page, it will be painful. We'll need to try to figure out the NUMA balancing issue some day, in addition to avoiding the excessive spinlock hold times. That said, having tried to rewrite the page wait queues, I can at least fix up some of the braindamage in the current situation. In particular: (a) we don't want to continue walking the page wait list if the bit we're waiting for already got set again (which seems to be one of the patterns of the bad load). That makes no progress and just causes pointless cache pollution chasing the pointers. (b) we don't want to put the non-locking waiters always on the front of the queue, and the locking waiters always on the back. Not only is that unfair, it means that we wake up thousands of reading threads that will just end up being blocked by the writer later anyway. Also add a comment about the layout of 'struct wait_page_key' - there is an external user of it in the cachefiles code that means that it has to match the layout of 'struct wait_bit_key' in the two first members. It so happens to match, because 'struct page *' and 'unsigned long *' end up having the same values simply because the page flags are the first member in struct page.

So I've noticed a number of instances where it was not obvious from the code whether ->task_list was for a wait-queue head or a wait-queue entry. Furthermore, there's a number of wait-queue users where the lists are not for 'tasks' but other entities (poll tables, etc.), in which case the 'task_list' name is actively confusing. To clear this all up, name the wait-queue head and entry list structure fields unambiguously: struct wait_queue_head::task_list => ::head struct wait_queue_entry::task_list => ::entry For example, this code: rqw->wait.task_list.next != &wait->task_list ... is was pretty unclear (to me) what it's doing, while now it's written this way: rqw->wait.head.next != &wait->entry ... which makes it pretty clear that we are iterating a list until we see the head. Other examples are: list_for_each_entry_safe(pos, next, &x->task_list, task_list) { list_for_each_entry(wq, &fence->wait.task_list, task_list) { ... where it's unclear (to me) what we are iterating, and during review it's hard to tell whether it's trying to walk a wait-queue entry (which would be a bug), while now it's written as: list_for_each_entry_safe(pos, next, &x->head, entry) { list_for_each_entry(wq, &fence->wait.head, entry) { Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> -

The wait_bit*() types and APIs are mixed into wait.h, but they are a pretty orthogonal extension of wait-queues. Furthermore, only about 50 kernel files use these APIs, while over 1000 use the regular wait-queue functionality. So clean up the main wait.h by moving the wait-bit functionality out of it, into a separate .h and .c file: include/linux/wait_bit.h for types and APIs kernel/sched/wait_bit.c for the implementation Update all header dependencies. This reduces the size of wait.h rather significantly, by about 30%.

So wait-bit-queue head variables are often named: struct wait_bit_queue *q ... which is a bit ambiguous and super confusing, because they clearly suggest wait-queue head semantics and behavior (they rhyme with the old wait_queue_t *q naming), while they are extended wait-queue _entries_, not heads! They are misnomers in two ways: - the 'wait_bit_queue' leaves open the question of whether it's an entry or a head - the 'q' parameter and local variable naming falsely implies that it's a 'queue' - while it's an entry. This resulted in sometimes confusing cases such as: finish_wait(wq, &q->wait); where the 'q' is not a wait-queue head, but a wait-bit-queue entry. So improve this all by standardizing wait-bit-queue nomenclature similar to wait-queue head naming: struct wait_bit_queue => struct wait_bit_queue_entry q => wbq_entry Which makes it all a much clearer: struct wait_bit_queue_entry *wbq_entry ... and turns the former confusing piece of code into: finish_wait(wq_head, &wbq_entry->wq_entry; which IMHO makes it apparently clear what we are doing, without having to analyze the context of the code: we are adding a wait-queue entry to a regular wait-queue head, which entry is embedded in a wait-bit-queue entry. I'm not a big fan of acronyms, but repeating wait_bit_queue_entry in field and local variable names is too long, so Hopefully it's clear enough that 'wq_' prefixes stand for wait-queues, while 'wbq_' prefixes stand for wait-bit-queues.

The wait-queue head parameters and variables are named in a couple of ways, we have the following variants currently: wait_queue_head_t *q wait_queue_head_t *wq wait_queue_head_t *head In particular the 'wq' naming is ambiguous in the sense whether it's a wait-queue head or entry name - as entries were often named 'wait'. ( Not to mention the confusion of any readers coming over from workqueue-land. ) Standardize all this around a single, unambiguous parameter and variable name: struct wait_queue_head *wq_head which is easy to grep for and also rhymes nicely with the wait-queue entry naming: struct wait_queue_entry *wq_entry Also rename: struct __wait_queue_head => struct wait_queue_head ... and use this struct type to migrate from typedefs usage to 'struct' usage, which is more in line with existing kernel practices.

So the various wait-queue entry variables in include/linux/wait.h and kernel/sched/wait.c are named in a colorfully inconsistent way: wait_queue_entry_t *wait wait_queue_entry_t *__wait (even in plain C code!) wait_queue_entry_t *q (!) wait_queue_entry_t *new (making anyone who knows C++ cringe) wait_queue_entry_t *old I think part of the reason for the inconsistency is the constant apparent confusion about what a wait queue 'head' versus 'entry' is. ( Some of the documentation talks about a 'wait descriptor', which is the wait-queue entry itself - further adding to the confusion. ) The most common name is 'wait', but that in itself is somewhat ambiguous as well, as it does not really make it clear whether it's a wait-queue entry or head. To improve all this name the wait-queue entry structure parameters and variables consistently and push through this naming into all the wait.h and wait.c code: struct wait_queue_entry *wq_entry The 'wq_' prefix makes it easy to grep for, and we also use the opportunity to move away from the typedef to a plain 'struct' naming: in the kernel we typically reserve typedefs for cases where a C structure is really small and somewhat opaque - such as pte_t. wait-queue entries are neither small nor opaque, so use the more standard 'struct xxx_entry' list management code nomenclature instead.

Rename: wait_queue_t => wait_queue_entry_t 'wait_queue_t' was always a slight misnomer: its name implies that it's a "queue", but in reality it's a queue *entry*. The 'real' queue is the wait queue head, which had to carry the name. Start sorting this out by renaming it to 'wait_queue_entry_t'. This also allows the real structure name 'struct __wait_queue' to lose its double underscore and become 'struct wait_queue_entry', which is the more canonical nomenclature for such data types.

The scheduler header file split and cleanups ended up exposing a few nasty header file dependencies, and in particular it showed how we in <linux/wait.h> ended up depending on "signal_pending()", which now comes from <linux/sched/signal.h>. That's a very subtle and annoying dependency, which already caused a semantic merge conflict (see commit e58bc927 "Pull overlayfs updates from Miklos Szeredi", which added that fixup in the merge commit). It turns out that we can avoid this dependency _and_ improve code generation by moving the guts of the fairly nasty helper #define __wait_event_interruptible_locked() to out-of-line code. The code that includes the signal_pending() check is all in the slow-path where we actually go to sleep waiting for the event anyway, so using a helper function is the right thing to do. Using a helper function is also what we already did for the non-locked versions, see the "__wait_event*()" macros and the "prepare_to_wait*()" set of helper functions. We might want to try to unify all these macro games, we have a _lot_ of subtly different wait-event loops. But this is the minimal patch to fix the annoying header dependency.

The per-zone waitqueues exist because of a scalability issue with the page waitqueues on some NUMA machines, but it turns out that they hurt normal loads, and now with the vmalloced stacks they also end up breaking gfs2 that uses a bit_wait on a stack object: wait_on_bit(&gh->gh_iflags, HIF_WAIT, TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE) where 'gh' can be a reference to the local variable 'mount_gh' on the stack of fill_super(). The reason the per-zone hash table breaks for this case is that there is no "zone" for virtual allocations, and trying to look up the physical page to get at it will fail (with a BUG_ON()). It turns out that I actually complained to the mm people about the per-zone hash table for another reason just a month ago: the zone lookup also hurts the regular use of "unlock_page()" a lot, because the zone lookup ends up forcing several unnecessary cache misses and generates horrible code. As part of that earlier discussion, we had a much better solution for the NUMA scalability issue - by just making the page lock have a separate contention bit, the waitqueue doesn't even have to be looked at for the normal case. Peter Zijlstra already has a patch for that, but let's see if anybody even notices. In the meantime, let's fix the actual gfs2 breakage by simplifying the bitlock waitqueues and removing the per-zone issue.

Otherwise this logic only works if mode is "compatible" with another exclusive waiter. If some wq has both TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE and TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE waiters, abort_exclusive_wait() won't wait an uninterruptible waiter. The main user is __wait_on_bit_lock() and currently it is fine but only because TASK_KILLABLE includes TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE and we do not have lock_page_interruptible() yet. Just use TASK_NORMAL and remove the "mode" arg from abort_exclusive_wait(). Yes, this means that (say) wake_up_interruptible() can wake up the non- interruptible waiter(s), but I think this is fine.

There is a race between kthread_stop() and the new wait_woken() that can result in a lack of progress. CPU 0 | CPU 1 | rfcomm_run() | kthread_stop() ... | if (!test_bit(KTHREAD_SHOULD_STOP)) | | set_bit(KTHREAD_SHOULD_STOP) | wake_up_process() wait_woken() | wait_for_completion() set_current_state(INTERRUPTIBLE) | if (!WQ_FLAG_WOKEN) | schedule_timeout() | | After which both tasks will wait.. forever. Fix this by having wait_woken() check for kthread_should_stop() but only for kthreads (obviously).

There are a few places that call blocking primitives from wait loops, provide infrastructure to support this without the typical task_struct::state collision.

In commit c1221321 sched: Allow wait_on_bit_action() functions to support a timeout I suggested that a "wait_on_bit_timeout()" interface would not meet my need. This isn't true - I was just over-engineering. Including a 'private' field in wait_bit_key instead of a focused "timeout" field was just premature generalization. If some other use is ever found, it can be generalized or added later. So this patch renames "private" to "timeout" with a meaning "stop waiting when "jiffies" reaches or passes "timeout", and adds two of the many possible wait..bit..timeout() interfaces: wait_on_page_bit_killable_timeout(), which is the one I want to use, and out_of_line_wait_on_bit_timeout() which is a reasonably general example. Others can be added as needed.

It is currently not possible for various wait_on_bit functions to implement a timeout. While the "action" function that is called to do the waiting could certainly use schedule_timeout(), there is no way to carry forward the remaining timeout after a false wake-up. As false-wakeups a clearly possible at least due to possible hash collisions in bit_waitqueue(), this is a real problem. The 'action' function is currently passed a pointer to the word containing the bit being waited on. No current action functions use this pointer. So changing it to something else will be a little noisy but will have no immediate effect. This patch changes the 'action' function to take a pointer to the "struct wait_bit_key", which contains a pointer to the word containing the bit so nothing is really lost. It also adds a 'private' field to "struct wait_bit_key", which is initialized to zero. An action function can now implement a timeout with something like static int timed_out_waiter(struct wait_bit_key *key) { unsigned long waited; if (key->private == 0) { key->private = jiffies; if (key->private == 0) key->private -= 1; } waited = jiffies - key->private; if (waited > 10 * HZ) return -EAGAIN; schedule_timeout(waited - 10 * HZ); return 0; } If any other need for context in a waiter were found it would be easy to use ->private for some other purpose, or even extend "struct wait_bit_key". My particular need is to support timeouts in nfs_release_page() to avoid deadlocks with loopback mounted NFS. While wait_on_bit_timeout() would be a cleaner interface, it will not meet my need. I need the timeout to be sensitive to the state of the connection with the server, which could change. So I need to use an 'action' interface.

The current "wait_on_bit" interface requires an 'action' function to be provided which does the actual waiting. There are over 20 such functions, many of them identical. Most cases can be satisfied by one of just two functions, one which uses io_schedule() and one which just uses schedule(). So: Rename wait_on_bit and wait_on_bit_lock to wait_on_bit_action and wait_on_bit_lock_action to make it explicit that they need an action function. Introduce new wait_on_bit{,_lock} and wait_on_bit{,_lock}_io which are *not* given an action function but implicitly use a standard one. The decision to error-out if a signal is pending is now made based on the 'mode' argument rather than being encoded in the action function. All instances of the old wait_on_bit and wait_on_bit_lock which can use the new version have been changed accordingly and their action functions have been discarded. wait_on_bit{_lock} does not return any specific error code in the event of a signal so the caller must check for non-zero and interpolate their own error code as appropriate. The wait_on_bit() call in __fscache_wait_on_invalidate() was ambiguous as it specified TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE but used fscache_wait_bit_interruptible as an action function. David Howells confirms this should be uniformly "uninterruptible" The main remaining user of wait_on_bit{,_lock}_action is NFS which needs to use a freezer-aware schedule() call. A comment in fs/gfs2/glock.c notes that having multiple 'action' functions is useful as they display differently in the 'wchan' field of 'ps'. (and /proc/$PID/wchan). As the new bit_wait{,_io} functions are tagged "__sched", they will not show up at all, but something higher in the stack. So the distinction will still be visible, only with different function names (gds2_glock_wait versus gfs2_glock_dq_wait in the gfs2/glock.c case). Since first version of this patch (against 3.15) two new action functions appeared, on in NFS and one in CIFS. CIFS also now uses an action function that makes the same freezer aware schedule call as NFS.

Add the new helper, prepare_to_wait_event() which should only be used by ___wait_event(). prepare_to_wait_event() returns -ERESTARTSYS if signal_pending_state() is true, otherwise it does prepare_to_wait/exclusive. This allows to uninline the signal-pending checks in wait_event*() macros. Also, it can initialize wait->private/func. We do not care if they were already initialized, the values are the same. This also shaves a couple of insns from the inlined code. This obviously makes prepare_*() path a little bit slower, but we are likely going to sleep anyway, so I think it makes sense to shrink .text: text data bss dec hex filename =================================================== before: 5126092 2959248 10117120 18202460 115bf5c vmlinux after: 5124618 2955152 10117120 18196890 115a99a vmlinux on my build.

Add wait_on_atomic_t() and wake_up_atomic_t() to indicate became-zero events on atomic_t types. This uses the bit-wake waitqueue table. The key is set to a value outside of the number of bits in a long so that wait_on_bit() won't be woken up accidentally. What I'm using this for is: in a following patch I add a counter to struct fscache_cookie to count the number of outstanding operations that need access to netfs data. The way this works is: (1) When a cookie is allocated, the counter is initialised to 1. (2) When an operation wants to access netfs data, it calls atomic_inc_unless() to increment the counter before it does so. If it was 0, then the counter isn't incremented, the operation isn't permitted to access the netfs data (which might by this point no longer exist) and the operation aborts in some appropriate manner. (3) When an operation finishes with the netfs data, it decrements the counter and if it reaches 0, calls wake_up_atomic_t() on it - the assumption being that it was the last blocker. (4) When a cookie is released, the counter is decremented and the releaser uses wait_on_atomic_t() to wait for the counter to become 0 - which should indicate no one is using the netfs data any longer. The netfs data can then be destroyed. There are some alternatives that I have thought of and that have been suggested by Tejun Heo: (A) Using wait_on_bit() to wait on a bit in the counter. This doesn't work because if that bit happens to be 0 then the wait won't happen - even if the counter is non-zero. (B) Using wait_on_bit() to wait on a flag elsewhere which is cleared when the counter reaches 0. Such a flag would be redundant and would add complexity. (C) Adding a waitqueue to fscache_cookie - this would expand that struct by several words for an event that happens just once in each cookie's lifetime. Further, cookies are generally per-file so there are likely to be a lot of them. (D) Similar to (C), but add a pointer to a waitqueue in the cookie instead of a waitqueue. This would add single word per cookie and so would be less of an expansion - but still an expansion. (E) Adding a static waitqueue to the fscache module. Generally this would be fine, but under certain circumstances many cookies will all get added at the same time (eg. NFS umount, cache withdrawal) thereby presenting scaling issues. Note that the wait may be significant as disk I/O may be in progress. So, I think reusing the wait_on_bit() waitqueue set is reasonable. I don't make much use of the waitqueue I need on a per-cookie basis, but sometimes I have a huge flood of the cookies to deal with. I also don't want to add a whole new set of global waitqueue tables specifically for the dec-to-0 event if I can reuse the bit tables.
