Raw Normal View History

Linux-2.6.12-rc2 Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!

workqueue: debug flushing deadlocks with lockdep In the following scenario: code path 1: my_function() -> lock(L1); ...; flush_workqueue(); ... code path 2: run_workqueue() -> my_work() -> ...; lock(L1); ... you can get a deadlock when my_work() is queued or running but my_function() has acquired L1 already. This patch adds a pseudo-lock to each workqueue to make lockdep warn about this scenario.

workqueue: carry cpu number in work data once execution starts To implement non-reentrant workqueue, the last gcwq a work was executed on must be reliably obtainable as long as the work structure is valid even if the previous workqueue has been destroyed. To achieve this, work->data will be overloaded to carry the last cpu number once execution starts so that the previous gcwq can be located reliably. This means that cwq can't be obtained from work after execution starts but only gcwq. Implement set_work_{cwq|cpu}(), get_work_[g]cwq() and clear_work_data() to set work data to the cpu number when starting execution, access the overloaded work data and clear it after cancellation. queue_delayed_work_on() is updated to preserve the last cpu while in-flight in timer and other callers which depended on getting cwq from work after execution starts are converted to depend on gcwq instead. * Anton Blanchard fixed compile error on powerpc due to missing linux/threads.h include.

WorkStruct: Pass the work_struct pointer instead of context data Pass the work_struct pointer to the work function rather than context data. The work function can use container_of() to work out the data. For the cases where the container of the work_struct may go away the moment the pending bit is cleared, it is made possible to defer the release of the structure by deferring the clearing of the pending bit. To make this work, an extra flag is introduced into the management side of the work_struct. This governs auto-release of the structure upon execution. Ordinarily, the work queue executor would release the work_struct for further scheduling or deallocation by clearing the pending bit prior to jumping to the work function. This means that, unless the driver makes some guarantee itself that the work_struct won't go away, the work function may not access anything else in the work_struct or its container lest they be deallocated.. This is a problem if the auxiliary data is taken away (as done by the last patch). However, if the pending bit is *not* cleared before jumping to the work function, then the work function *may* access the work_struct and its container with no problems. But then the work function must itself release the work_struct by calling work_release(). In most cases, automatic release is fine, so this is the default. Special initiators exist for the non-auto-release case (ending in _NAR). Signed-Off-By: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

Make workqueue bit operations work on "atomic_long_t" On architectures where the atomicity of the bit operations is handled by external means (ie a separate spinlock to protect concurrent accesses), just doing a direct assignment on the workqueue data field (as done by commit 4594bf159f1962cec3b727954b7c598b07e2e737) can cause the assignment to be lost due to lack of serialization with the bitops on the same word. So we need to serialize the assignment with the locks on those architectures (notably older ARM chips, PA-RISC and sparc32). So rather than using an "unsigned long", let's use "atomic_long_t", which already has a safe assignment operation (atomic_long_set()) on such architectures. This requires that the atomic operations use the same atomicity locks as the bit operations do, but that is largely the case anyway. Sparc32 will probably need fixing. Architectures (including modern ARM with LL/SC) that implement sane atomic operations for SMP won't see any of this matter.

workqueue: fix cwq->nr_active underflow cwq->nr_active is used to keep track of how many work items are active for the cpu workqueue, where 'active' is defined as either pending on global worklist or executing. This is used to implement the max_active limit and workqueue freezing. If a work item is queued after nr_active has already reached max_active, the work item doesn't increment nr_active and is put on the delayed queue and gets activated later as previous active work items retire. try_to_grab_pending() which is used in the cancellation path unconditionally decremented nr_active whether the work item being cancelled is currently active or delayed, so cancelling a delayed work item makes nr_active underflow. This breaks max_active enforcement and triggers BUG_ON() in destroy_workqueue() later on. This patch fixes this bug by adding a flag WORK_STRUCT_DELAYED, which is set while a work item in on the delayed list and making try_to_grab_pending() decrement nr_active iff the work item is currently active. The addition of the flag enlarges cwq alignment to 256 bytes which is getting a bit too large. It's scheduled to be reduced back to 128 bytes by merging WORK_STRUCT_PENDING and WORK_STRUCT_CWQ in the next devel cycle.

workqueue: update cwq alignement work->data field is used for two purposes. It points to cwq it's queued on and the lower bits are used for flags. Currently, two bits are reserved which is always safe as 4 byte alignment is guaranteed on every architecture. However, future changes will need more flag bits. On SMP, the percpu allocator is capable of honoring larger alignment (there are other users which depend on it) and larger alignment works just fine. On UP, percpu allocator is a thin wrapper around kzalloc/kfree() and don't honor alignment request. This patch introduces WORK_STRUCT_FLAG_BITS and implements alloc/free_cwqs() which guarantees max(1 << WORK_STRUCT_FLAG_BITS, __alignof__(unsigned long long) alignment both on SMP and UP. On SMP, simply wrapping percpu allocator is enough. On UP, extra space is allocated so that cwq can be aligned and the original pointer can be stored after it which is used in the free path. * Alignment problem on UP is reported by Michal Simek.

workqueue: reimplement workqueue flushing using color coded works Reimplement workqueue flushing using color coded works. wq has the current work color which is painted on the works being issued via cwqs. Flushing a workqueue is achieved by advancing the current work colors of cwqs and waiting for all the works which have any of the previous colors to drain. Currently there are 16 possible colors, one is reserved for no color and 15 colors are useable allowing 14 concurrent flushes. When color space gets full, flush attempts are batched up and processed together when color frees up, so even with many concurrent flushers, the new implementation won't build up huge queue of flushers which has to be processed one after another. Only works which are queued via __queue_work() are colored. Works which are directly put on queue using insert_work() use NO_COLOR and don't participate in workqueue flushing. Currently only works used for work-specific flush fall in this category. This new implementation leaves only cleanup_workqueue_thread() as the user of flush_cpu_workqueue(). Just make its users use flush_workqueue() and kthread_stop() directly and kill cleanup_workqueue_thread(). As workqueue flushing doesn't use barrier request anymore, the comment describing the complex synchronization around it in cleanup_workqueue_thread() is removed together with the function. This new implementation is to allow having and sharing multiple workers per cpu. Please note that one more bit is reserved for a future work flag by this patch.

workqueue: fix how cpu number is stored in work->data Once a work starts execution, its data contains the cpu number it was on instead of pointing to cwq. This is added by commit 7a22ad75 (workqueue: carry cpu number in work data once execution starts) to reliably determine the work was last on even if the workqueue itself was destroyed inbetween. Whether data points to a cwq or contains a cpu number was distinguished by comparing the value against PAGE_OFFSET. The assumption was that a cpu number should be below PAGE_OFFSET while a pointer to cwq should be above it. However, on architectures which use separate address spaces for user and kernel spaces, this doesn't hold as PAGE_OFFSET is zero. Fix it by using an explicit flag, WORK_STRUCT_CWQ, to mark what the data field contains. If the flag is set, it's pointing to a cwq; otherwise, it contains a cpu number.

On UP, percpu allocator is a thin wrapper around kzalloc/kfree() and don't honor alignment request. This patch introduces WORK_STRUCT_FLAG_BITS and implements alloc/free_cwqs() which guarantees max(1 << WORK_STRUCT_FLAG_BITS, __alignof__(unsigned long long) alignment both on SMP and UP. On SMP, simply wrapping percpu allocator is enough. On UP, extra space is allocated so that cwq can be aligned and the original pointer can be stored after it which is used in the free path. * Alignment problem on UP is reported by Michal Simek.

workqueue: define masks for work flags and conditionalize STATIC flags Work flags are about to see more traditional mask handling. Define WORK_STRUCT_*_BIT as the bit position constant and redefine WORK_STRUCT_* as bit masks.

workqueue: prepare for WQ_UNBOUND implementation In preparation of WQ_UNBOUND addition, make the following changes. * Add WORK_CPU_* constants for pseudo cpu id numbers used (currently only WORK_CPU_NONE) and use them instead of NR_CPUS. This is to allow another pseudo cpu id for unbound cpu. * Reorder WQ_* flags. * Make workqueue_struct->cpu_wq a union which contains a percpu pointer, regular pointer and an unsigned long value and use kzalloc/kfree() in UP allocation path. This will be used to implement unbound workqueues which will use only one cwq on SMPs. * Move alloc_cwqs() allocation after initialization of wq fields, so that alloc_cwqs() has access to wq->flags. * Trivial relocation of wq local variables in freeze functions. These changes don't cause any functional change. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

Make workqueue bit operations work on "atomic_long_t" On architectures where the atomicity of the bit operations is handled by external means (ie a separate spinlock to protect concurrent accesses), just doing a direct assignment on the workqueue data field (as done by commit 4594bf159f1962cec3b727954b7c598b07e2e737) can cause the assignment to be lost due to lack of serialization with the bitops on the same word. So we need to serialize the assignment with the locks on those architectures (notably older ARM chips, PA-RISC and sparc32). So rather than using an "unsigned long", let's use "atomic_long_t", which already has a safe assignment operation (atomic_long_set()) on such architectures. This requires that the atomic operations use the same atomicity locks as the bit operations do, but that is largely the case anyway. Sparc32 will probably need fixing. Architectures (including modern ARM with LL/SC) that implement sane atomic operations for SMP won't see any of this matter.

workqueue: carry cpu number in work data once execution starts To implement non-reentrant workqueue, the last gcwq a work was executed on must be reliably obtainable as long as the work structure is valid even if the previous workqueue has been destroyed. To achieve this, work->data will be overloaded to carry the last cpu number once execution starts so that the previous gcwq can be located reliably. This means that cwq can't be obtained from work after execution starts but only gcwq. Implement set_work_{cwq|cpu}(), get_work_[g]cwq() and clear_work_data() to set work data to the cpu number when starting execution, access the overloaded work data and clear it after cancellation. queue_delayed_work_on() is updated to preserve the last cpu while in-flight in timer and other callers which depended on getting cwq from work after execution starts are converted to depend on gcwq instead. * Anton Blanchard fixed compile error on powerpc due to missing linux/threads.h include.

WorkStruct: Pass the work_struct pointer instead of context data Pass the work_struct pointer to the work function rather than context data. The work function can use container_of() to work out the data. For the cases where the container of the work_struct may go away the moment the pending bit is cleared, it is made possible to defer the release of the structure by deferring the clearing of the pending bit. To make this work, an extra flag is introduced into the management side of the work_struct. This governs auto-release of the structure upon execution. Ordinarily, the work queue executor would release the work_struct for further scheduling or deallocation by clearing the pending bit prior to jumping to the work function. This means that, unless the driver makes some guarantee itself that the work_struct won't go away, the work function may not access anything else in the work_struct or its container lest they be deallocated.. This is a problem if the auxiliary data is taken away (as done by the last patch). However, if the pending bit is *not* cleared before jumping to the work function, then the work function *may* access the work_struct and its container with no problems.

We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it.

Make workqueue bit operations work on "atomic_long_t" On architectures where the atomicity of the bit operations is handled by external means (ie a separate spinlock to protect concurrent accesses), just doing a direct assignment on the workqueue data field (as done by commit 4594bf159f1962cec3b727954b7c598b07e2e737) can cause the assignment to be lost due to lack of serialization with the bitops on the same word. So we need to serialize the assignment with the locks on those architectures (notably older ARM chips, PA-RISC and sparc32). So rather than using an "unsigned long", let's use "atomic_long_t", which already has a safe assignment operation (atomic_long_set()) on such architectures. This requires that the atomic operations use the same atomicity locks as the bit operations do, but that is largely the case anyway. Sparc32 will probably need fixing. Architectures (including modern ARM with LL/SC) that implement sane atomic operations for SMP won't see any of this matter.

WorkStruct: Pass the work_struct pointer instead of context data Pass the work_struct pointer to the work function rather than context data. The work function can use container_of() to work out the data. For the cases where the container of the work_struct may go away the moment the pending bit is cleared, it is made possible to defer the release of the structure by deferring the clearing of the pending bit. To make this work, an extra flag is introduced into the management side of the work_struct. This governs auto-release of the structure upon execution. Ordinarily, the work queue executor would release the work_struct for further scheduling or deallocation by clearing the pending bit prior to jumping to the work function. This means that, unless the driver makes some guarantee itself that the work_struct won't go away, the work function may not access anything else in the work_struct or its container lest they be deallocated.. This is a problem if the auxiliary data is taken away (as done by the last patch). However, if the pending bit is *not* cleared before jumping to the work function, then the work function *may* access the work_struct and its container with no problems. But then the work function must itself release the work_struct by calling work_release(). In most cases, automatic release is fine, so this is the default. Special initiators exist for the non-auto-release case (ending in _NAR). Signed-Off-By: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

WorkStruct: Pass the work_struct pointer instead of context data Pass the work_struct pointer to the work function rather than context data. The work function can use container_of() to work out the data. For the cases where the container of the work_struct may go away the moment the pending bit is cleared, it is made possible to defer the release of the structure by deferring the clearing of the pending bit. To make this work, an extra flag is introduced into the management side of the work_struct. This governs auto-release of the structure upon execution. Ordinarily, the work queue executor would release the work_struct for further scheduling or deallocation by clearing the pending bit prior to jumping to the work function. This means that, unless the driver makes some guarantee itself that the work_struct won't go away, the work function may not access anything else in the work_struct or its container lest they be deallocated.. This is a problem if the auxiliary data is taken away (as done by the last patch). However, if the pending bit is *not* cleared before jumping to the work function, then the work function *may* access the work_struct and its container with no problems. But then the work function must itself release the work_struct by calling work_release(). In most cases, automatic release is fine, so this is the default.

This is to allow another pseudo cpu id for unbound cpu. * Reorder WQ_* flags. * Make workqueue_struct->cpu_wq a union which contains a percpu pointer, regular pointer and an unsigned long value and use kzalloc/kfree() in UP allocation path. This will be used to implement unbound workqueues which will use only one cwq on SMPs. * Move alloc_cwqs() allocation after initialization of wq fields, so that alloc_cwqs() has access to wq->flags. * Trivial relocation of wq local variables in freeze functions.

workqueue: remove WQ_SINGLE_CPU and use WQ_UNBOUND instead WQ_SINGLE_CPU combined with @max_active of 1 is used to achieve full ordering among works queued to a workqueue. The same can be achieved using WQ_UNBOUND as unbound workqueues always use the gcwq for WORK_CPU_UNBOUND. As @max_active is always one and benefits from cpu locality isn't accessible anyway, serving them with unbound workqueues should be fine. Drop WQ_SINGLE_CPU support and use WQ_UNBOUND instead. Note that most single thread workqueue users will be converted to use multithread or non-reentrant instead and only the ones which require strict ordering will keep using WQ_UNBOUND + @max_active of 1.

workqueue: implement high priority workqueue This patch implements high priority workqueue which can be specified with WQ_HIGHPRI flag on creation. A high priority workqueue has the following properties. * A work queued to it is queued at the head of the worklist of the respective gcwq after other highpri works, while normal works are always appended at the end. * As long as there are highpri works on gcwq->worklist, [__]need_more_worker() remains %true and process_one_work() wakes up another worker before it start executing a work. The above two properties guarantee that works queued to high priority workqueues are dispatched to workers and start execution as soon as possible regardless of the state of other works.

workqueue: implement cpu intensive workqueue This patch implements cpu intensive workqueue which can be specified with WQ_CPU_INTENSIVE flag on creation. Works queued to a cpu intensive workqueue don't participate in concurrency management. IOW, it doesn't contribute to gcwq->nr_running and thus doesn't delay excution of other works. Note that although cpu intensive works won't delay other works, they can be delayed by other works. Combine with WQ_HIGHPRI to avoid being delayed by other works too. As the name suggests this is useful when using workqueue for cpu intensive works. Workers executing cpu intensive works are not considered for workqueue concurrency management and left for the scheduler to manage.

workqueue: improve destroy_workqueue() debuggability Now that the worklist is global, having works pending after wq destruction can easily lead to oops and destroy_workqueue() have several BUG_ON()s to catch these cases. Unfortunately, BUG_ON() doesn't tell much about how the work became pending after the final flush_workqueue(). This patch adds WQ_DYING which is set before the final flush begins. If a work is requested to be queued on a dying workqueue, WARN_ON_ONCE() is triggered and the request is ignored. This clearly indicates which caller is trying to queue a work on a dying workqueue and keeps the system working in most cases. Locking rule comment is updated such that the 'I' rule includes modifying the field from destruction path. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

WorkStruct: Separate delayable and non-delayable events. Separate delayable work items from non-delayable work items be splitting them into a separate structure (delayed_work), which incorporates a work_struct and the timer_list removed from work_struct. The work_struct struct is huge, and this limits it's usefulness. On a 64-bit architecture it's nearly 100 bytes in size. This reduces that by half for the non-delayable type of event.

lockdep: fix workqueue creation API lockdep interaction Dave Young reported warnings from lockdep that the workqueue API can sometimes try to register lockdep classes with the same key but different names. This is not permitted in lockdep. Unfortunately, I was unaware of that restriction when I wrote the code to debug workqueue problems with lockdep and used the workqueue name as the lockdep class name. This can obviously lead to the problem if the workqueue name is dynamic. This patch solves the problem by always using a constant name for the workqueue's lockdep class, namely either the constant name that was passed in or a string consisting of the variable name.

WorkStruct: Pass the work_struct pointer instead of context data Pass the work_struct pointer to the work function rather than context data. The work function can use container_of() to work out the data. For the cases where the container of the work_struct may go away the moment the pending bit is cleared, it is made possible to defer the release of the structure by deferring the clearing of the pending bit. To make this work, an extra flag is introduced into the management side of the work_struct. This governs auto-release of the structure upon execution. Ordinarily, the work queue executor would release the work_struct for further scheduling or deallocation by clearing the pending bit prior to jumping to the work function. This means that, unless the driver makes some guarantee itself that the work_struct won't go away, the work function may not access anything else in the work_struct or its container lest they be deallocated.. This is a problem if the auxiliary data is taken away (as done by the last patch). However, if the pending bit is *not* cleared before jumping to the work function, then the work function *may* access the work_struct and its container with no problems. But then the work function must itself release the work_struct by calling work_release(). In most cases, automatic release is fine, so this is the default. Special initiators exist for the non-auto-release case (ending in _NAR). Signed-Off-By: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

workqueue: implement flush[_delayed]_work_sync() Implement flush[_delayed]_work_sync(). These are flush functions which also make sure no CPU is still executing the target work from earlier queueing instances. These are similar to cancel[_delayed]_work_sync() except that the target work item is flushed instead of cancelled. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

[WORKQUEUE]: cancel_delayed_work: use del_timer() instead of del_timer_sync() del_timer_sync() buys nothing for cancel_delayed_work(), but it is less efficient since it locks the timer unconditionally, and may wait for the completion of the delayed_work_timer_fn(). cancel_delayed_work() == 0 means: before this patch: work->func may still be running or queued after this patch: work->func may still be running or queued, or delayed_work_timer_fn->__queue_work() in progress. The latter doesn't differ from the caller's POV, delayed_work_timer_fn() is called with _PENDING bit set. cancel_delayed_work() == 1 with this patch adds a new possibility: delayed_work->work was cancelled, but delayed_work_timer_fn is still running (this is only possible for the re-arming works on single-threaded workqueue). In this case the timer was re-started by work->func(), nobody else can do this. This in turn means that delayed_work_timer_fn has already passed __queue_work() (and wont't touch delayed_work) because nobody else can queue delayed_work->work.

revert "cancel_delayed_work: use del_timer() instead of del_timer_sync()" As pointed out by Jarek Poplawski, the patch [WORKQUEUE]: cancel_delayed_work: use del_timer() instead of del_timer_sync() commit: 071b638689464c6b39407025eedd810d5b5e6f5d was wrong, it was merged by mistake after that. From the changelog: after this patch: ... delayed_work_timer_fn->__queue_work() in progress. The latter doesn't differ from the caller's POV, it does make a difference if the caller calls flush_workqueue() after cancel_delayed_work(), in that case flush_workqueue() can miss this work_struct.

workqueues: introduce __cancel_delayed_work() cancel_delayed_work() has to use del_timer_sync() to guarantee the timer function is not running after return. But most users doesn't actually need this, and del_timer_sync() has problems: it is not useable from interrupt, and it depends on every lock which could be taken from irq. Introduce __cancel_delayed_work() which calls del_timer() instead. The immediate reason for this patch is http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13757 but hopefully this helper makes sense anyway.

cpumask: introduce new API, without changing anything Impact: introduce new APIs We want to deprecate cpumasks on the stack, as we are headed for gynormous numbers of CPUs. Eventually, we want to head towards an undefined 'struct cpumask' so they can never be declared on stack. 1) New cpumask functions which take pointers instead of copies. (cpus_* -> cpumask_*) 2) Several new helpers to reduce requirements for temporary cpumasks (cpumask_first_and, cpumask_next_and, cpumask_any_and) 3) Helpers for declaring cpumasks on or offstack for large NR_CPUS (cpumask_var_t, alloc_cpumask_var and free_cpumask_var) 4) 'struct cpumask' for explicitness and to mark new-style code. 5) Make iterator functions stop at nr_cpu_ids (a runtime constant), not NR_CPUS for time efficiency and for smaller dynamic allocations in future. 6) cpumask_copy() so we can allocate less than a full cpumask eventually (for alloc_cpumask_var), and so we can eliminate the 'struct cpumask' definition eventually. 7) work_on_cpu() helper for doing task on a CPU, rather than saving old cpumask for current thread and manipulating it. 8) smp_call_function_many() which is smp_call_function_mask() except taking a cpumask pointer. Note that this patch simply introduces the new functions and leaves the obsolescent ones in place. This is to simplify the transition patches.

lockdep: Add an in_workqueue_context() lockdep-based test function Some recent uses of RCU make use of workqueues. In these uses, execution within the context of a specific workqueue takes the place of the usual RCU read-side primitives such as rcu_read_lock(), and flushing of workqueues takes the place of the usual RCU grace-period primitives. Checking for correct use of rcu_dereference() in such cases requires a test of whether the code is executing in the context of a particular workqueue. This commit adds an in_workqueue_context() function that provides this test. This new function is only defined when lockdep is enabled, which allows it to be used as the second argument of rcu_dereference_check(). Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

workqueue: reimplement workqueue freeze using max_active Currently, workqueue freezing is implemented by marking the worker freezeable and calling try_to_freeze() from dispatch loop. Reimplement it using cwq->limit so that the workqueue is frozen instead of the worker. * workqueue_struct->saved_max_active is added which stores the specified max_active on initialization. * On freeze, all cwq->max_active's are quenched to zero. Freezing is complete when nr_active on all cwqs reach zero. * On thaw, all cwq->max_active's are restored to wq->saved_max_active and the worklist is repopulated. This new implementation allows having single shared pool of workers per cpu. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
