epoll: fix epoll's own poll Fix a bug inside the epoll's f_op->poll() code, that returns POLLIN even though there are no actual ready monitored fds. The bug shows up if you add an epoll fd inside another fd container (poll, select, epoll). The problem is that callback-based wake ups used by epoll does not carry (patches will follow, to fix this) any information about the events that actually happened. So the callback code, since it can't call the file* ->poll() inside the callback, chains the file* into a ready-list. So, suppose you added an fd with EPOLLOUT only, and some data shows up on the fd, the file* mapped by the fd will be added into the ready-list (via wakeup callback). During normal epoll_wait() use, this condition is sorted out at the time we're actually able to call the file*'s f_op->poll(). Inside the old epoll's f_op->poll() though, only a quick check !list_empty(ready-list) was performed, and this could have led to reporting POLLIN even though no ready fds would show up at a following epoll_wait(). In order to correctly report the ready status for an epoll fd, the ready-list must be checked to see if any really available fd+event would be ready in a following epoll_wait(). Operation (calling f_op->poll() from inside f_op->poll()) that, like wake ups, must be handled with care because of the fact that epoll fds can be added to other epoll fds.

epoll: optimize EPOLL_CTL_DEL using rcu Nathan Zimmer found that once we get over 10+ cpus, the scalability of SPECjbb falls over due to the contention on the global 'epmutex', which is taken in on EPOLL_CTL_ADD and EPOLL_CTL_DEL operations. Patch #1 removes the 'epmutex' lock completely from the EPOLL_CTL_DEL path by using rcu to guard against any concurrent traversals. Patch #2 remove the 'epmutex' lock from EPOLL_CTL_ADD operations for simple topologies. IE when adding a link from an epoll file descriptor to a wakeup source, where the epoll file descriptor is not nested. This patch (of 2): Optimize EPOLL_CTL_DEL such that it does not require the 'epmutex' by converting the file->f_ep_links list into an rcu one. In this way, we can traverse the epoll network on the add path in parallel with deletes. Since deletes can't create loops or worse wakeup paths, this is safe. This patch in combination with the patch "epoll: Do not take global 'epmutex' for simple topologies", shows a dramatic performance improvement in scalability for SPECjbb.

epoll: prevent creating circular epoll structures In several places, an epoll fd can call another file's ->f_op->poll() method with ep->mtx held. This is in general unsafe, because that other file could itself be an epoll fd that contains the original epoll fd. The code defends against this possibility in its own ->poll() method using ep_call_nested, but there are several other unsafe calls to ->poll elsewhere that can be made to deadlock. For example, the following simple program causes the call in ep_insert recursively call the original fd's ->poll, leading to deadlock: #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/epoll.h> int main(void) { int e1, e2, p[2]; struct epoll_event evt = { .events = EPOLLIN }; e1 = epoll_create(1); e2 = epoll_create(2); pipe(p); epoll_ctl(e2, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, e1, &evt); epoll_ctl(e1, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, p[0], &evt); write(p[1], p, sizeof p); epoll_ctl(e1, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, e2, &evt); return 0; } On insertion, check whether the inserted file is itself a struct epoll, and if so, do a recursive walk to detect whether inserting this file would create a loop of epoll structures, which could lead to deadlock.

epoll: add EPOLLEXCLUSIVE flag Currently, epoll file descriptors or epfds (the fd returned from epoll_create[1]()) that are added to a shared wakeup source are always added in a non-exclusive manner. This means that when we have multiple epfds attached to a shared fd source they are all woken up. This creates thundering herd type behavior. Introduce a new 'EPOLLEXCLUSIVE' flag that can be passed as part of the 'event' argument during an epoll_ctl() EPOLL_CTL_ADD operation. This new flag allows for exclusive wakeups when there are multiple epfds attached to a shared fd event source. The implementation walks the list of exclusive waiters, and queues an event to each epfd, until it finds the first waiter that has threads blocked on it via epoll_wait(). The idea is to search for threads which are idle and ready to process the wakeup events. Thus, we queue an event to at least 1 epfd, but may still potentially queue an event to all epfds that are attached to the shared fd source. Performance testing was done by Madars Vitolins using a modified version of Enduro/X. The use of the 'EPOLLEXCLUSIVE' flag reduce the length of this particular workload from 860s down to 24s. Sample epoll_clt text: EPOLLEXCLUSIVE Sets an exclusive wakeup mode for the epfd file descriptor that is being attached to the target file descriptor, fd. Thus, when an event occurs and multiple epfd file descriptors are attached to the same target file using EPOLLEXCLUSIVE, one or more epfds will receive an event with epoll_wait(2). The default in this scenario (when EPOLLEXCLUSIVE is not set) is for all epfds to receive an event. EPOLLEXCLUSIVE may only be specified with the op EPOLL_CTL_ADD.

epoll: restrict EPOLLEXCLUSIVE to POLLIN and POLLOUT In the current implementation of the EPOLLEXCLUSIVE flag (added for 4.5-rc1), if epoll waiters create different POLL* sets and register them as exclusive against the same target fd, the current implementation will stop waking any further waiters once it finds the first idle waiter. This means that waiters could miss wakeups in certain cases. For example, when we wake up a pipe for reading we do: wake_up_interruptible_sync_poll(&pipe->wait, POLLIN | POLLRDNORM); So if one epoll set or epfd is added to pipe p with POLLIN and a second set epfd2 is added to pipe p with POLLRDNORM, only epfd may receive the wakeup since the current implementation will stop after it finds any intersection of events with a waiter that is blocked in epoll_wait(). We could potentially address this by requiring all epoll waiters that are added to p be required to pass the same set of POLL* events. IE the first EPOLL_CTL_ADD that passes EPOLLEXCLUSIVE establishes the set POLL* flags to be used by any other epfds that are added as EPOLLEXCLUSIVE. However, I think it might be somewhat confusing interface as we would have to reference count the number of users for that set, and so userspace would have to keep track of that count, or we would need a more involved interface. It also adds some shared state that we'd have store somewhere. I don't think anybody will want to bloat __wait_queue_head for this. I think what we could do instead, is to simply restrict EPOLLEXCLUSIVE such that it can only be specified with EPOLLIN and/or EPOLLOUT. So that way if the wakeup includes 'POLLIN' and not 'POLLOUT', we can stop once we hit the first idle waiter that specifies the EPOLLIN bit, since any remaining waiters that only have 'POLLOUT' set wouldn't need to be woken. Likewise, we can do the same thing if 'POLLOUT' is in the wakeup bit set and not 'POLLIN'. If both 'POLLOUT' and 'POLLIN' are set in the wake bit set (there is at least one example of this I saw in fs/pipe.c), then we just wake the entire exclusive list. Having both 'POLLOUT' and 'POLLIN' both set should not be on any performance critical path, so I think that's ok (in fs/pipe.c its in pipe_release()). We also continue to include EPOLLERR and EPOLLHUP by default in any exclusive set. Thus, the user can specify EPOLLERR and/or EPOLLHUP but is not required to do so. Since epoll waiters may be interested in other events as well besides EPOLLIN, EPOLLOUT, EPOLLERR and EPOLLHUP, these can still be added by doing a 'dup' call on the target fd and adding that as one normally would with EPOLL_CTL_ADD. Since I think that the POLLIN and POLLOUT events are what we are interest in balancing, I think that the 'dup' thing could perhaps be added to only one of the waiter threads. However, I think that EPOLLIN, EPOLLOUT, EPOLLERR and EPOLLHUP should be sufficient for the majority of use-cases. Since EPOLLEXCLUSIVE is intended to be used with a target fd shared among multiple epfds, where between 1 and n of the epfds may receive an event, it does not satisfy the semantics of EPOLLONESHOT where only 1 epfd would get an event. Thus, it is not allowed to be specified in conjunction with EPOLLEXCLUSIVE. EPOLL_CTL_MOD is also not allowed if the fd was previously added as EPOLLEXCLUSIVE. It seems with the limited number of flags to not be as interesting, but this could be relaxed at some further point.

epoll: fix epoll's own poll Fix a bug inside the epoll's f_op->poll() code, that returns POLLIN even though there are no actual ready monitored fds. The bug shows up if you add an epoll fd inside another fd container (poll, select, epoll). The problem is that callback-based wake ups used by epoll does not carry (patches will follow, to fix this) any information about the events that actually happened. So the callback code, since it can't call the file* ->poll() inside the callback, chains the file* into a ready-list. So, suppose you added an fd with EPOLLOUT only, and some data shows up on the fd, the file* mapped by the fd will be added into the ready-list (via wakeup callback). During normal epoll_wait() use, this condition is sorted out at the time we're actually able to call the file*'s f_op->poll(). Inside the old epoll's f_op->poll() though, only a quick check !list_empty(ready-list) was performed, and this could have led to reporting POLLIN even though no ready fds would show up at a following epoll_wait(). In order to correctly report the ready status for an epoll fd, the ready-list must be checked to see if any really available fd+event would be ready in a following epoll_wait(). Operation (calling f_op->poll() from inside f_op->poll()) that, like wake ups, must be handled with care because of the fact that epoll fds can be added to other epoll fds.

epoll: introduce resource usage limits It has been thought that the per-user file descriptors limit would also limit the resources that a normal user can request via the epoll interface. Vegard Nossum reported a very simple program (a modified version attached) that can make a normal user to request a pretty large amount of kernel memory, well within the its maximum number of fds. To solve such problem, default limits are now imposed, and /proc based configuration has been introduced. A new directory has been created, named /proc/sys/fs/epoll/ and inside there, there are two configuration points: max_user_instances = Maximum number of devices - per user max_user_watches = Maximum number of "watched" fds - per user The current default for "max_user_watches" limits the memory used by epoll to store "watches", to 1/32 of the amount of the low RAM. As example, a 256MB 32bit machine, will have "max_user_watches" set to roughly 90000. That should be enough to not break existing heavy epoll users. The default value for "max_user_instances" is set to 128, that should be enough too. This also changes the userspace, because a new error code can now come out from EPOLL_CTL_ADD (-ENOSPC). The EMFILE from epoll_create() was already listed, so that should be ok.

epoll: fix epoll's own poll Fix a bug inside the epoll's f_op->poll() code, that returns POLLIN even though there are no actual ready monitored fds. The bug shows up if you add an epoll fd inside another fd container (poll, select, epoll). The problem is that callback-based wake ups used by epoll does not carry (patches will follow, to fix this) any information about the events that actually happened. So the callback code, since it can't call the file* ->poll() inside the callback, chains the file* into a ready-list. So, suppose you added an fd with EPOLLOUT only, and some data shows up on the fd, the file* mapped by the fd will be added into the ready-list (via wakeup callback). During normal epoll_wait() use, this condition is sorted out at the time we're actually able to call the file*'s f_op->poll(). Inside the old epoll's f_op->poll() though, only a quick check !list_empty(ready-list) was performed, and this could have led to reporting POLLIN even though no ready fds would show up at a following epoll_wait(). In order to correctly report the ready status for an epoll fd, the ready-list must be checked to see if any really available fd+event would be ready in a following epoll_wait(). Operation (calling f_op->poll() from inside f_op->poll()) that, like wake ups, must be handled with care because of the fact that epoll fds can be added to other epoll fds.

epoll: fix epoll's own poll Fix a bug inside the epoll's f_op->poll() code, that returns POLLIN even though there are no actual ready monitored fds. The bug shows up if you add an epoll fd inside another fd container (poll, select, epoll). The problem is that callback-based wake ups used by epoll does not carry (patches will follow, to fix this) any information about the events that actually happened. So the callback code, since it can't call the file* ->poll() inside the callback, chains the file* into a ready-list. So, suppose you added an fd with EPOLLOUT only, and some data shows up on the fd, the file* mapped by the fd will be added into the ready-list (via wakeup callback). During normal epoll_wait() use, this condition is sorted out at the time we're actually able to call the file*'s f_op->poll(). Inside the old epoll's f_op->poll() though, only a quick check !list_empty(ready-list) was performed, and this could have led to reporting POLLIN even though no ready fds would show up at a following epoll_wait(). In order to correctly report the ready status for an epoll fd, the ready-list must be checked to see if any really available fd+event would be ready in a following epoll_wait(). Operation (calling f_op->poll() from inside f_op->poll()) that, like wake ups, must be handled with care because of the fact that epoll fds can be added to other epoll fds.

epoll: fix epoll's own poll Fix a bug inside the epoll's f_op->poll() code, that returns POLLIN even though there are no actual ready monitored fds. The bug shows up if you add an epoll fd inside another fd container (poll, select, epoll). The problem is that callback-based wake ups used by epoll does not carry (patches will follow, to fix this) any information about the events that actually happened. So the callback code, since it can't call the file* ->poll() inside the callback, chains the file* into a ready-list. So, suppose you added an fd with EPOLLOUT only, and some data shows up on the fd, the file* mapped by the fd will be added into the ready-list (via wakeup callback). During normal epoll_wait() use, this condition is sorted out at the time we're actually able to call the file*'s f_op->poll(). Inside the old epoll's f_op->poll() though, only a quick check !list_empty(ready-list) was performed, and this could have led to reporting POLLIN even though no ready fds would show up at a following epoll_wait(). In order to correctly report the ready status for an epoll fd, the ready-list must be checked to see if any really available fd+event would be ready in a following epoll_wait(). Operation (calling f_op->poll() from inside f_op->poll()) that, like wake ups, must be handled with care because of the fact that epoll fds can be added to other epoll fds.

epoll: optimize EPOLL_CTL_DEL using rcu Nathan Zimmer found that once we get over 10+ cpus, the scalability of SPECjbb falls over due to the contention on the global 'epmutex', which is taken in on EPOLL_CTL_ADD and EPOLL_CTL_DEL operations. Patch #1 removes the 'epmutex' lock completely from the EPOLL_CTL_DEL path by using rcu to guard against any concurrent traversals. Patch #2 remove the 'epmutex' lock from EPOLL_CTL_ADD operations for simple topologies. IE when adding a link from an epoll file descriptor to a wakeup source, where the epoll file descriptor is not nested. This patch (of 2): Optimize EPOLL_CTL_DEL such that it does not require the 'epmutex' by converting the file->f_ep_links list into an rcu one. In this way, we can traverse the epoll network on the add path in parallel with deletes. Since deletes can't create loops or worse wakeup paths, this is safe. This patch in combination with the patch "epoll: Do not take global 'epmutex' for simple topologies", shows a dramatic performance improvement in scalability for SPECjbb.

epoll: introduce resource usage limits It has been thought that the per-user file descriptors limit would also limit the resources that a normal user can request via the epoll interface. Vegard Nossum reported a very simple program (a modified version attached) that can make a normal user to request a pretty large amount of kernel memory, well within the its maximum number of fds. To solve such problem, default limits are now imposed, and /proc based configuration has been introduced. A new directory has been created, named /proc/sys/fs/epoll/ and inside there, there are two configuration points: max_user_instances = Maximum number of devices - per user max_user_watches = Maximum number of "watched" fds - per user The current default for "max_user_watches" limits the memory used by epoll to store "watches", to 1/32 of the amount of the low RAM. As example, a 256MB 32bit machine, will have "max_user_watches" set to roughly 90000. That should be enough to not break existing heavy epoll users. The default value for "max_user_instances" is set to 128, that should be enough too. This also changes the userspace, because a new error code can now come out from EPOLL_CTL_ADD (-ENOSPC). The EMFILE from epoll_create() was already listed, so that should be ok.

epoll: limit paths The current epoll code can be tickled to run basically indefinitely in both loop detection path check (on ep_insert()), and in the wakeup paths. The programs that tickle this behavior set up deeply linked networks of epoll file descriptors that cause the epoll algorithms to traverse them indefinitely. A couple of these sample programs have been previously posted in this thread: https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/2/25/297. To fix the loop detection path check algorithms, I simply keep track of the epoll nodes that have been already visited. Thus, the loop detection becomes proportional to the number of epoll file descriptor and links. This dramatically decreases the run-time of the loop check algorithm. In one diabolical case I tried it reduced the run-time from 15 mintues (all in kernel time) to .3 seconds. Fixing the wakeup paths could be done at wakeup time in a similar manner by keeping track of nodes that have already been visited, but the complexity is harder, since there can be multiple wakeups on different cpus...Thus, I've opted to limit the number of possible wakeup paths when the paths are created. This is accomplished, by noting that the end file descriptor points that are found during the loop detection pass (from the newly added link), are actually the sources for wakeup events. I keep a list of these file descriptors and limit the number and length of these paths that emanate from these 'source file descriptors'. In the current implemetation I allow 1000 paths of length 1, 500 of length 2, 100 of length 3, 50 of length 4 and 10 of length 5. Note that it is sufficient to check the 'source file descriptors' reachable from the newly added link, since no other 'source file descriptors' will have newly added links. This allows us to check only the wakeup paths that may have gotten too long, and not re-check all possible wakeup paths on the system. In terms of the path limit selection, I think its first worth noting that the most common case for epoll, is probably the model where you have 1 epoll file descriptor that is monitoring n number of 'source file descriptors'. In this case, each 'source file descriptor' has a 1 path of length 1. Thus, I believe that the limits I'm proposing are quite reasonable and in fact may be too generous. Thus, I'm hoping that the proposed limits will not prevent any workloads that currently work to fail. In terms of locking, I have extended the use of the 'epmutex' to all epoll_ctl add and remove operations. Currently its only used in a subset of the add paths. I need to hold the epmutex, so that we can correctly traverse a coherent graph, to check the number of paths. I believe that this additional locking is probably ok, since its in the setup/teardown paths, and doesn't affect the running paths, but it certainly is going to add some extra overhead. Also, worth noting is that the epmuex was recently added to the ep_ctl add operations in the initial path loop detection code using the argument that it was not on a critical path. Another thing to note here, is the length of epoll chains that is allowed. Currently, eventpoll.c defines: /* Maximum number of nesting allowed inside epoll sets */ #define EP_MAX_NESTS 4 This basically means that I am limited to a graph depth of 5 (EP_MAX_NESTS + 1). However, this limit is currently only enforced during the loop check detection code, and only when the epoll file descriptors are added in a certain order. Thus, this limit is currently easily bypassed. The newly added check for wakeup paths, stricly limits the wakeup paths to a length of 5, regardless of the order in which ep's are linked together. Thus, a side-effect of the new code is a more consistent enforcement of the graph depth. Thus far, I've tested this, using the sample programs previously mentioned, which now either return quickly or return -EINVAL. I've also testing using the piptest.c epoll tester, which showed no difference in performance. I've also created a number of different epoll networks and tested that they behave as expectded. I believe this solves the original diabolical test cases, while still preserving the sane epoll nesting.

epoll: fix epoll's own poll Fix a bug inside the epoll's f_op->poll() code, that returns POLLIN even though there are no actual ready monitored fds. The bug shows up if you add an epoll fd inside another fd container (poll, select, epoll). The problem is that callback-based wake ups used by epoll does not carry (patches will follow, to fix this) any information about the events that actually happened. So the callback code, since it can't call the file* ->poll() inside the callback, chains the file* into a ready-list. So, suppose you added an fd with EPOLLOUT only, and some data shows up on the fd, the file* mapped by the fd will be added into the ready-list (via wakeup callback). During normal epoll_wait() use, this condition is sorted out at the time we're actually able to call the file*'s f_op->poll(). Inside the old epoll's f_op->poll() though, only a quick check !list_empty(ready-list) was performed, and this could have led to reporting POLLIN even though no ready fds would show up at a following epoll_wait(). In order to correctly report the ready status for an epoll fd, the ready-list must be checked to see if any really available fd+event would be ready in a following epoll_wait(). Operation (calling f_op->poll() from inside f_op->poll()) that, like wake ups, must be handled with care because of the fact that epoll fds can be added to other epoll fds.

epoll: introduce resource usage limits It has been thought that the per-user file descriptors limit would also limit the resources that a normal user can request via the epoll interface. Vegard Nossum reported a very simple program (a modified version attached) that can make a normal user to request a pretty large amount of kernel memory, well within the its maximum number of fds. To solve such problem, default limits are now imposed, and /proc based configuration has been introduced. A new directory has been created, named /proc/sys/fs/epoll/ and inside there, there are two configuration points: max_user_instances = Maximum number of devices - per user max_user_watches = Maximum number of "watched" fds - per user The current default for "max_user_watches" limits the memory used by epoll to store "watches", to 1/32 of the amount of the low RAM. As example, a 256MB 32bit machine, will have "max_user_watches" set to roughly 90000. That should be enough to not break existing heavy epoll users. The default value for "max_user_instances" is set to 128, that should be enough too. This also changes the userspace, because a new error code can now come out from EPOLL_CTL_ADD (-ENOSPC). The EMFILE from epoll_create() was already listed, so that should be ok.

epoll: prevent creating circular epoll structures In several places, an epoll fd can call another file's ->f_op->poll() method with ep->mtx held. This is in general unsafe, because that other file could itself be an epoll fd that contains the original epoll fd. The code defends against this possibility in its own ->poll() method using ep_call_nested, but there are several other unsafe calls to ->poll elsewhere that can be made to deadlock. For example, the following simple program causes the call in ep_insert recursively call the original fd's ->poll, leading to deadlock: #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/epoll.h> int main(void) { int e1, e2, p[2]; struct epoll_event evt = { .events = EPOLLIN }; e1 = epoll_create(1); e2 = epoll_create(2); pipe(p); epoll_ctl(e2, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, e1, &evt); epoll_ctl(e1, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, p[0], &evt); write(p[1], p, sizeof p); epoll_ctl(e1, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, e2, &evt); return 0; } On insertion, check whether the inserted file is itself a struct epoll, and if so, do a recursive walk to detect whether inserting this file would create a loop of epoll structures, which could lead to deadlock.

epoll: limit paths The current epoll code can be tickled to run basically indefinitely in both loop detection path check (on ep_insert()), and in the wakeup paths. The programs that tickle this behavior set up deeply linked networks of epoll file descriptors that cause the epoll algorithms to traverse them indefinitely. A couple of these sample programs have been previously posted in this thread: https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/2/25/297. To fix the loop detection path check algorithms, I simply keep track of the epoll nodes that have been already visited. Thus, the loop detection becomes proportional to the number of epoll file descriptor and links. This dramatically decreases the run-time of the loop check algorithm. In one diabolical case I tried it reduced the run-time from 15 mintues (all in kernel time) to .3 seconds. Fixing the wakeup paths could be done at wakeup time in a similar manner by keeping track of nodes that have already been visited, but the complexity is harder, since there can be multiple wakeups on different cpus...Thus, I've opted to limit the number of possible wakeup paths when the paths are created. This is accomplished, by noting that the end file descriptor points that are found during the loop detection pass (from the newly added link), are actually the sources for wakeup events. I keep a list of these file descriptors and limit the number and length of these paths that emanate from these 'source file descriptors'. In the current implemetation I allow 1000 paths of length 1, 500 of length 2, 100 of length 3, 50 of length 4 and 10 of length 5. Note that it is sufficient to check the 'source file descriptors' reachable from the newly added link, since no other 'source file descriptors' will have newly added links. This allows us to check only the wakeup paths that may have gotten too long, and not re-check all possible wakeup paths on the system. In terms of the path limit selection, I think its first worth noting that the most common case for epoll, is probably the model where you have 1 epoll file descriptor that is monitoring n number of 'source file descriptors'. In this case, each 'source file descriptor' has a 1 path of length 1. Thus, I believe that the limits I'm proposing are quite reasonable and in fact may be too generous. Thus, I'm hoping that the proposed limits will not prevent any workloads that currently work to fail. In terms of locking, I have extended the use of the 'epmutex' to all epoll_ctl add and remove operations. Currently its only used in a subset of the add paths. I need to hold the epmutex, so that we can correctly traverse a coherent graph, to check the number of paths. I believe that this additional locking is probably ok, since its in the setup/teardown paths, and doesn't affect the running paths, but it certainly is going to add some extra overhead. Also, worth noting is that the epmuex was recently added to the ep_ctl add operations in the initial path loop detection code using the argument that it was not on a critical path. Another thing to note here, is the length of epoll chains that is allowed. Currently, eventpoll.c defines: /* Maximum number of nesting allowed inside epoll sets */ #define EP_MAX_NESTS 4 This basically means that I am limited to a graph depth of 5 (EP_MAX_NESTS + 1). However, this limit is currently only enforced during the loop check detection code, and only when the epoll file descriptors are added in a certain order. Thus, this limit is currently easily bypassed. The newly added check for wakeup paths, stricly limits the wakeup paths to a length of 5, regardless of the order in which ep's are linked together. Thus, a side-effect of the new code is a more consistent enforcement of the graph depth. Thus far, I've tested this, using the sample programs previously mentioned, which now either return quickly or return -EINVAL. I've also testing using the piptest.c epoll tester, which showed no difference in performance. I've also created a number of different epoll networks and tested that they behave as expectded. I believe this solves the original diabolical test cases, while still preserving the sane epoll nesting.

epoll: introduce resource usage limits It has been thought that the per-user file descriptors limit would also limit the resources that a normal user can request via the epoll interface. Vegard Nossum reported a very simple program (a modified version attached) that can make a normal user to request a pretty large amount of kernel memory, well within the its maximum number of fds. To solve such problem, default limits are now imposed, and /proc based configuration has been introduced. A new directory has been created, named /proc/sys/fs/epoll/ and inside there, there are two configuration points: max_user_instances = Maximum number of devices - per user max_user_watches = Maximum number of "watched" fds - per user The current default for "max_user_watches" limits the memory used by epoll to store "watches", to 1/32 of the amount of the low RAM. As example, a 256MB 32bit machine, will have "max_user_watches" set to roughly 90000. That should be enough to not break existing heavy epoll users. The default value for "max_user_instances" is set to 128, that should be enough too. This also changes the userspace, because a new error code can now come out from EPOLL_CTL_ADD (-ENOSPC). The EMFILE from epoll_create() was already listed, so that should be ok.

epoll: limit paths The current epoll code can be tickled to run basically indefinitely in both loop detection path check (on ep_insert()), and in the wakeup paths. The programs that tickle this behavior set up deeply linked networks of epoll file descriptors that cause the epoll algorithms to traverse them indefinitely. A couple of these sample programs have been previously posted in this thread: https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/2/25/297. To fix the loop detection path check algorithms, I simply keep track of the epoll nodes that have been already visited. Thus, the loop detection becomes proportional to the number of epoll file descriptor and links. This dramatically decreases the run-time of the loop check algorithm. In one diabolical case I tried it reduced the run-time from 15 mintues (all in kernel time) to .3 seconds. Fixing the wakeup paths could be done at wakeup time in a similar manner by keeping track of nodes that have already been visited, but the complexity is harder, since there can be multiple wakeups on different cpus...Thus, I've opted to limit the number of possible wakeup paths when the paths are created.

epoll: optimizations and cleanups Epoll is doing multiple passes over the ready set at the moment, because of the constraints over the f_op->poll() call. Looking at the code again, I noticed that we already hold the epoll semaphore in read, and this (together with other locking conditions that hold while doing an epoll_wait()) can lead to a smarter way [1] to "ship" events to userspace (in a single pass). This is a stress application that can be used to test the new code. It spwans multiple thread and call epoll_wait() and epoll_ctl() from many threads. Stress tested on my dual Opteron 254 w/out any problems. http://www.xmailserver.org/totalmess.c This is not a benchmark, just something that tries to stress and exploit possible problems with the new code. Also, I made a stupid micro-benchmark: http://www.xmailserver.org/epwbench.c [1] Considering that epoll must be thread-safe, there are five ways we can be hit during an epoll_wait() transfer loop (ep_send_events()): 1) The epoll fd going away and calling ep_free This just can't happen, since we did an fget() in sys_epoll_wait 2) An epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DEL) This can't happen because epoll_ctl() gets ep->sem in write, and we're holding it in read during ep_send_events() 3) An fd stored inside the epoll fd going away This can't happen because in eventpoll_release_file() we get ep->sem in write, and we're holding it in read during ep_send_events() 4) Another epoll_wait() happening on another thread They both can be inside ep_send_events() at the same time, we get (splice) the ready-list under the spinlock, so each one will get its own ready list. Note that an fd cannot be at the same time inside more than one ready list, because ep_poll_callback() will not re-queue it if it sees it already linked: if (ep_is_linked(&epi->rdllink)) goto is_linked; Another case that can happen, is two concurrent epoll_wait(), coming in with a userspace event buffer of size, say, ten. Suppose there are 50 event ready in the list. The first epoll_wait() will "steal" the whole list, while the second, seeing no events, will go to sleep. But at the end of ep_send_events() in the first epoll_wait(), we will re-inject surplus ready fds, and we will trigger the proper wake_up to the second epoll_wait(). 5) ep_poll_callback() hitting us asyncronously This is the tricky part. As I said above, the ep_is_linked() test done inside ep_poll_callback(), will guarantee us that until the item will result linked to a list, ep_poll_callback() will not try to re-queue it again (read, write data on any of its members). When we do a list_del() in ep_send_events(), the item will still satisfy the ep_is_linked() test (whatever data is written in prev/next, it'll never be its own pointer), so ep_poll_callback() will still leave us alone. It's only after the eventual smp_mb()+INIT_LIST_HEAD(&epi->rdllink) that it'll become visible to ep_poll_callback(), but at the point we're already past it.

revert "epoll: support for disabling items, and a self-test app" Revert commit 03a7beb55b9f ("epoll: support for disabling items, and a self-test app") pending resolution of the issues identified by Michael Kerrisk, copied below. We'll revisit this for 3.8. : I've taken a look at this patch as it currently stands in 3.7-rc1, and : done a bit of testing. (By the way, the test program : tools/testing/selftests/epoll/test_epoll.c does not compile...) : : There are one or two places where the behavior seems a little strange, : so I have a question or two at the end of this mail. But other than : that, I want to check my understanding so that the interface can be : correctly documented. : : Just to go though my understanding, the problem is the following : scenario in a multithreaded application: : : 1. Multiple threads are performing epoll_wait() operations, : and maintaining a user-space cache that contains information : corresponding to each file descriptor being monitored by : epoll_wait(). : : 2. At some point, a thread wants to delete (EPOLL_CTL_DEL) : a file descriptor from the epoll interest list, and : delete the corresponding record from the user-space cache. : : 3. The problem with (2) is that some other thread may have : previously done an epoll_wait() that retrieved information : about the fd in question, and may be in the middle of using : information in the cache that relates to that fd. Thus, : there is a potential race. : : 4. The race can't solved purely in user space, because doing : so would require applying a mutex across the epoll_wait() : call, which would of course blow thread concurrency. : : Right? : : Your solution is the EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE operation. I want to : confirm my understanding about how to use this flag, since : the description that has accompanied the patches so far : has been a bit sparse : : 0. In the scenario you're concerned about, deleting a file : descriptor means (safely) doing the following: : (a) Deleting the file descriptor from the epoll interest list : using EPOLL_CTL_DEL : (b) Deleting the corresponding record in the user-space cache : : 1. It's only meaningful to use this EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE in : conjunction with EPOLLONESHOT. : : 2. Using EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE without using EPOLLONESHOT in : conjunction is a logical error. : : 3. The correct way to code multithreaded applications using : EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE and EPOLLONESHOT is as follows: : : a. All EPOLL_CTL_ADD and EPOLL_CTL_MOD operations should : should EPOLLONESHOT. : : b. When a thread wants to delete a file descriptor, it : should do the following: : : [1] Call epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE) : [2] If the return status from epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE) : was zero, then the file descriptor can be safely : deleted by the thread that made this call. : [3] If the epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE) fails with EBUSY, : then the descriptor is in use. In this case, the calling : thread should set a flag in the user-space cache to : indicate that the thread that is using the descriptor : should perform the deletion operation. : : Is all of the above correct? : : The implementation depends on checking on whether : (events & ~EP_PRIVATE_BITS) == 0 : This replies on the fact that EPOLL_CTL_AD and EPOLL_CTL_MOD always : set EPOLLHUP and EPOLLERR in the 'events' mask, and EPOLLONESHOT : causes those flags (as well as all others in ~EP_PRIVATE_BITS) to be : cleared. : : A corollary to the previous paragraph is that using EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE : is only useful in conjunction with EPOLLONESHOT. However, as things : stand, one can use EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE on a file descriptor that does : not have EPOLLONESHOT set in 'events' This results in the following : (slightly surprising) behavior: : : (a) The first call to epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE) returns 0 : (the indicator that the file descriptor can be safely deleted). : (b) The next call to epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE) fails with EBUSY. : : This doesn't seem particularly useful, and in fact is probably an : indication that the user made a logic error: they should only be using : epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE) on a file descriptor for which : EPOLLONESHOT was set in 'events'.

epoll: fix epoll's own poll Fix a bug inside the epoll's f_op->poll() code, that returns POLLIN even though there are no actual ready monitored fds. The bug shows up if you add an epoll fd inside another fd container (poll, select, epoll). The problem is that callback-based wake ups used by epoll does not carry (patches will follow, to fix this) any information about the events that actually happened. So the callback code, since it can't call the file* ->poll() inside the callback, chains the file* into a ready-list. So, suppose you added an fd with EPOLLOUT only, and some data shows up on the fd, the file* mapped by the fd will be added into the ready-list (via wakeup callback). During normal epoll_wait() use, this condition is sorted out at the time we're actually able to call the file*'s f_op->poll(). Inside the old epoll's f_op->poll() though, only a quick check !list_empty(ready-list) was performed, and this could have led to reporting POLLIN even though no ready fds would show up at a following epoll_wait(). In order to correctly report the ready status for an epoll fd, the ready-list must be checked to see if any really available fd+event would be ready in a following epoll_wait().

epoll: fix epoll's own poll Fix a bug inside the epoll's f_op->poll() code, that returns POLLIN even though there are no actual ready monitored fds. The bug shows up if you add an epoll fd inside another fd container (poll, select, epoll). The problem is that callback-based wake ups used by epoll does not carry (patches will follow, to fix this) any information about the events that actually happened. So the callback code, since it can't call the file* ->poll() inside the callback, chains the file* into a ready-list. So, suppose you added an fd with EPOLLOUT only, and some data shows up on the fd, the file* mapped by the fd will be added into the ready-list (via wakeup callback). During normal epoll_wait() use, this condition is sorted out at the time we're actually able to call the file*'s f_op->poll(). Inside the old epoll's f_op->poll() though, only a quick check !list_empty(ready-list) was performed, and this could have led to reporting POLLIN even though no ready fds would show up at a following epoll_wait(). In order to correctly report the ready status for an epoll fd, the ready-list must be checked to see if any really available fd+event would be ready in a following epoll_wait(). Operation (calling f_op->poll() from inside f_op->poll()) that, like wake ups, must be handled with care because of the fact that epoll fds can be added to other epoll fds.

epoll: fix epoll's own poll Fix a bug inside the epoll's f_op->poll() code, that returns POLLIN even though there are no actual ready monitored fds. The bug shows up if you add an epoll fd inside another fd container (poll, select, epoll). The problem is that callback-based wake ups used by epoll does not carry (patches will follow, to fix this) any information about the events that actually happened. So the callback code, since it can't call the file* ->poll() inside the callback, chains the file* into a ready-list. So, suppose you added an fd with EPOLLOUT only, and some data shows up on the fd, the file* mapped by the fd will be added into the ready-list (via wakeup callback). During normal epoll_wait() use, this condition is sorted out at the time we're actually able to call the file*'s f_op->poll(). Inside the old epoll's f_op->poll() though, only a quick check !list_empty(ready-list) was performed, and this could have led to reporting POLLIN even though no ready fds would show up at a following epoll_wait(). In order to correctly report the ready status for an epoll fd, the ready-list must be checked to see if any really available fd+event would be ready in a following epoll_wait(). Operation (calling f_op->poll() from inside f_op->poll()) that, like wake ups, must be handled with care because of the fact that epoll fds can be added to other epoll fds.

epoll: fix epoll's own poll Fix a bug inside the epoll's f_op->poll() code, that returns POLLIN even though there are no actual ready monitored fds. The bug shows up if you add an epoll fd inside another fd container (poll, select, epoll). The problem is that callback-based wake ups used by epoll does not carry (patches will follow, to fix this) any information about the events that actually happened. So the callback code, since it can't call the file* ->poll() inside the callback, chains the file* into a ready-list. So, suppose you added an fd with EPOLLOUT only, and some data shows up on the fd, the file* mapped by the fd will be added into the ready-list (via wakeup callback). During normal epoll_wait() use, this condition is sorted out at the time we're actually able to call the file*'s f_op->poll(). Inside the old epoll's f_op->poll() though, only a quick check !list_empty(ready-list) was performed, and this could have led to reporting POLLIN even though no ready fds would show up at a following epoll_wait(). In order to correctly report the ready status for an epoll fd, the ready-list must be checked to see if any really available fd+event would be ready in a following epoll_wait(). Operation (calling f_op->poll() from inside f_op->poll()) that, like wake ups, must be handled with care because of the fact that epoll fds can be added to other epoll fds.

epoll: fix epoll's own poll Fix a bug inside the epoll's f_op->poll() code, that returns POLLIN even though there are no actual ready monitored fds. The bug shows up if you add an epoll fd inside another fd container (poll, select, epoll). The problem is that callback-based wake ups used by epoll does not carry (patches will follow, to fix this) any information about the events that actually happened. So the callback code, since it can't call the file* ->poll() inside the callback, chains the file* into a ready-list. So, suppose you added an fd with EPOLLOUT only, and some data shows up on the fd, the file* mapped by the fd will be added into the ready-list (via wakeup callback). During normal epoll_wait() use, this condition is sorted out at the time we're actually able to call the file*'s f_op->poll(). Inside the old epoll's f_op->poll() though, only a quick check !list_empty(ready-list) was performed, and this could have led to reporting POLLIN even though no ready fds would show up at a following epoll_wait(). In order to correctly report the ready status for an epoll fd, the ready-list must be checked to see if any really available fd+event would be ready in a following epoll_wait(). Operation (calling f_op->poll() from inside f_op->poll()) that, like wake ups, must be handled with care because of the fact that epoll fds can be added to other epoll fds.

epoll: fix epoll's own poll Fix a bug inside the epoll's f_op->poll() code, that returns POLLIN even though there are no actual ready monitored fds. The bug shows up if you add an epoll fd inside another fd container (poll, select, epoll). The problem is that callback-based wake ups used by epoll does not carry (patches will follow, to fix this) any information about the events that actually happened. So the callback code, since it can't call the file* ->poll() inside the callback, chains the file* into a ready-list. So, suppose you added an fd with EPOLLOUT only, and some data shows up on the fd, the file* mapped by the fd will be added into the ready-list (via wakeup callback). During normal epoll_wait() use, this condition is sorted out at the time we're actually able to call the file*'s f_op->poll(). Inside the old epoll's f_op->poll() though, only a quick check !list_empty(ready-list) was performed, and this could have led to reporting POLLIN even though no ready fds would show up at a following epoll_wait(). In order to correctly report the ready status for an epoll fd, the ready-list must be checked to see if any really available fd+event would be ready in a following epoll_wait(). Operation (calling f_op->poll() from inside f_op->poll()) that, like wake ups, must be handled with care because of the fact that epoll fds can be added to other epoll fds.

epoll: fix epoll's own poll Fix a bug inside the epoll's f_op->poll() code, that returns POLLIN even though there are no actual ready monitored fds. The bug shows up if you add an epoll fd inside another fd container (poll, select, epoll). The problem is that callback-based wake ups used by epoll does not carry (patches will follow, to fix this) any information about the events that actually happened. So the callback code, since it can't call the file* ->poll() inside the callback, chains the file* into a ready-list. So, suppose you added an fd with EPOLLOUT only, and some data shows up on the fd, the file* mapped by the fd will be added into the ready-list (via wakeup callback). During normal epoll_wait() use, this condition is sorted out at the time we're actually able to call the file*'s f_op->poll(). Inside the old epoll's f_op->poll() though, only a quick check !list_empty(ready-list) was performed, and this could have led to reporting POLLIN even though no ready fds would show up at a following epoll_wait(). In order to correctly report the ready status for an epoll fd, the ready-list must be checked to see if any really available fd+event would be ready in a following epoll_wait(). Operation (calling f_op->poll() from inside f_op->poll()) that, like wake ups, must be handled with care because of the fact that epoll fds can be added to other epoll fds.

epoll: comment the funky #ifdef Looking for a bug in -rt, I stumbled across this code here from: commit 2dfa4eeab0fc ("epoll keyed wakeups: teach epoll about hints coming with the wakeup key"), specifically: #ifdef CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC static inline void ep_wake_up_nested(wait_queue_head_t *wqueue, unsigned long events, int subclass) { unsigned long flags; spin_lock_irqsave_nested(&wqueue->lock, flags, subclass); wake_up_locked_poll(wqueue, events); spin_unlock_irqrestore(&wqueue->lock, flags); } #else static inline void ep_wake_up_nested(wait_queue_head_t *wqueue, unsigned long events, int subclass) { wake_up_poll(wqueue, events); } #endif You change the function of ep_wake_up_nested() depending on whether CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC is set or not. This looks awfully suspicious, and there's no comment to explain why. I initially thought that this was trying to fool lockdep, and hiding a real bug. Investigating it, I found the creation of wake_up_nested() (which no longer exists) but was created for the sole purpose of epoll and its strange wake ups, as explained in commit 0ccf831cbee9 ("lockdep: annotate epoll") Although the commit message says "annotate epoll" the change log is much better at explaining what is happening than what is in the actual code. Thus a comment is really necessary here. And to save the time of other developers from having to go trudging through the git logs trying to figure out why this code exists. I took parts of the change log and placed it into a comment above the affected code. This will make the description of what is happening more visible to new developers that have to look at this code for the first time.

epoll: avoid calling ep_call_nested() from ep_poll_safewake() ep_poll_safewake() is used to wakeup potentially nested epoll file descriptors. The function uses ep_call_nested() to prevent entering the same wake up queue more than once, and to prevent excessively deep wakeup paths (deeper than EP_MAX_NESTS). However, this is not necessary since we are already preventing these conditions during EPOLL_CTL_ADD. This saves extra function calls, and avoids taking a global lock during the ep_call_nested() calls. I have, however, left ep_call_nested() for the CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC case, since ep_call_nested() keeps track of the nesting level, and this is required by the call to spin_lock_irqsave_nested(). It would be nice to remove the ep_call_nested() calls for the CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC case as well, however its not clear how to simply pass the nesting level through multiple wake_up() levels without more surgery. In any case, I don't think CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC is generally used for production. This patch, also apparently fixes a workload at Google that Salman Qazi reported by completely removing the poll_safewake_ncalls->lock from wakeup paths.

epoll: fix epoll's own poll Fix a bug inside the epoll's f_op->poll() code, that returns POLLIN even though there are no actual ready monitored fds. The bug shows up if you add an epoll fd inside another fd container (poll, select, epoll). The problem is that callback-based wake ups used by epoll does not carry (patches will follow, to fix this) any information about the events that actually happened. So the callback code, since it can't call the file* ->poll() inside the callback, chains the file* into a ready-list. So, suppose you added an fd with EPOLLOUT only, and some data shows up on the fd, the file* mapped by the fd will be added into the ready-list (via wakeup callback). During normal epoll_wait() use, this condition is sorted out at the time we're actually able to call the file*'s f_op->poll(). Inside the old epoll's f_op->poll() though, only a quick check !list_empty(ready-list) was performed, and this could have led to reporting POLLIN even though no ready fds would show up at a following epoll_wait(). In order to correctly report the ready status for an epoll fd, the ready-list must be checked to see if any really available fd+event would be ready in a following epoll_wait(). Operation (calling f_op->poll() from inside f_op->poll()) that, like wake ups, must be handled with care because of the fact that epoll fds can be added to other epoll fds.

The problem is that callback-based wake ups used by epoll does not carry (patches will follow, to fix this) any information about the events that actually happened. So the callback code, since it can't call the file* ->poll() inside the callback, chains the file* into a ready-list. So, suppose you added an fd with EPOLLOUT only, and some data shows up on the fd, the file* mapped by the fd will be added into the ready-list (via wakeup callback). During normal epoll_wait() use, this condition is sorted out at the time we're actually able to call the file*'s f_op->poll(). Inside the old epoll's f_op->poll() though, only a quick check !list_empty(ready-list) was performed, and this could have led to reporting POLLIN even though no ready fds would show up at a following epoll_wait(). In order to correctly report the ready status for an epoll fd, the ready-list must be checked to see if any really available fd+event would be ready in a following epoll_wait(). Operation (calling f_op->poll() from inside f_op->poll()) that, like wake ups, must be handled with care because of the fact that epoll fds can be added to other epoll fds.

epoll: avoid calling ep_call_nested() from ep_poll_safewake() ep_poll_safewake() is used to wakeup potentially nested epoll file descriptors. The function uses ep_call_nested() to prevent entering the same wake up queue more than once, and to prevent excessively deep wakeup paths (deeper than EP_MAX_NESTS). However, this is not necessary since we are already preventing these conditions during EPOLL_CTL_ADD. This saves extra function calls, and avoids taking a global lock during the ep_call_nested() calls. I have, however, left ep_call_nested() for the CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC case, since ep_call_nested() keeps track of the nesting level, and this is required by the call to spin_lock_irqsave_nested(). It would be nice to remove the ep_call_nested() calls for the CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC case as well, however its not clear how to simply pass the nesting level through multiple wake_up() levels without more surgery. In any case, I don't think CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC is generally used for production. This patch, also apparently fixes a workload at Google that Salman Qazi reported by completely removing the poll_safewake_ncalls->lock from wakeup paths.

epoll: do not take global 'epmutex' for simple topologies When calling EPOLL_CTL_ADD for an epoll file descriptor that is attached directly to a wakeup source, we do not need to take the global 'epmutex', unless the epoll file descriptor is nested. The purpose of taking the 'epmutex' on add is to prevent complex topologies such as loops and deep wakeup paths from forming in parallel through multiple EPOLL_CTL_ADD operations. However, for the simple case of an epoll file descriptor attached directly to a wakeup source (with no nesting), we do not need to hold the 'epmutex'. This patch along with 'epoll: optimize EPOLL_CTL_DEL using rcu' improves scalability on larger systems. Quoting Nathan Zimmer's mail on SPECjbb performance: "On the 16 socket run the performance went from 35k jOPS to 125k jOPS. In addition the benchmark when from scaling well on 10 sockets to scaling well on just over 40 sockets. ... Currently the benchmark stops scaling at around 40-44 sockets but it seems like I found a second unrelated bottleneck."

epoll: fix epoll's own poll Fix a bug inside the epoll's f_op->poll() code, that returns POLLIN even though there are no actual ready monitored fds. The bug shows up if you add an epoll fd inside another fd container (poll, select, epoll). The problem is that callback-based wake ups used by epoll does not carry (patches will follow, to fix this) any information about the events that actually happened. So the callback code, since it can't call the file* ->poll() inside the callback, chains the file* into a ready-list. So, suppose you added an fd with EPOLLOUT only, and some data shows up on the fd, the file* mapped by the fd will be added into the ready-list (via wakeup callback). During normal epoll_wait() use, this condition is sorted out at the time we're actually able to call the file*'s f_op->poll(). Inside the old epoll's f_op->poll() though, only a quick check !list_empty(ready-list) was performed, and this could have led to reporting POLLIN even though no ready fds would show up at a following epoll_wait(). In order to correctly report the ready status for an epoll fd, the ready-list must be checked to see if any really available fd+event would be ready in a following epoll_wait(). Operation (calling f_op->poll() from inside f_op->poll()) that, like wake ups, must be handled with care because of the fact that epoll fds can be added to other epoll fds.

epoll: do not take global 'epmutex' for simple topologies When calling EPOLL_CTL_ADD for an epoll file descriptor that is attached directly to a wakeup source, we do not need to take the global 'epmutex', unless the epoll file descriptor is nested. The purpose of taking the 'epmutex' on add is to prevent complex topologies such as loops and deep wakeup paths from forming in parallel through multiple EPOLL_CTL_ADD operations. However, for the simple case of an epoll file descriptor attached directly to a wakeup source (with no nesting), we do not need to hold the 'epmutex'. This patch along with 'epoll: optimize EPOLL_CTL_DEL using rcu' improves scalability on larger systems. Quoting Nathan Zimmer's mail on SPECjbb performance: "On the 16 socket run the performance went from 35k jOPS to 125k jOPS. In addition the benchmark when from scaling well on 10 sockets to scaling well on just over 40 sockets. ... Currently the benchmark stops scaling at around 40-44 sockets but it seems like I found a second unrelated bottleneck."

epoll: fix epoll's own poll Fix a bug inside the epoll's f_op->poll() code, that returns POLLIN even though there are no actual ready monitored fds. The bug shows up if you add an epoll fd inside another fd container (poll, select, epoll). The problem is that callback-based wake ups used by epoll does not carry (patches will follow, to fix this) any information about the events that actually happened. So the callback code, since it can't call the file* ->poll() inside the callback, chains the file* into a ready-list. So, suppose you added an fd with EPOLLOUT only, and some data shows up on the fd, the file* mapped by the fd will be added into the ready-list (via wakeup callback). During normal epoll_wait() use, this condition is sorted out at the time we're actually able to call the file*'s f_op->poll(). Inside the old epoll's f_op->poll() though, only a quick check !list_empty(ready-list) was performed, and this could have led to reporting POLLIN even though no ready fds would show up at a following epoll_wait(). In order to correctly report the ready status for an epoll fd, the ready-list must be checked to see if any really available fd+event would be ready in a following epoll_wait(). Operation (calling f_op->poll() from inside f_op->poll()) that, like wake ups, must be handled with care because of the fact that epoll fds can be added to other epoll fds.

epoll: fix epoll's own poll Fix a bug inside the epoll's f_op->poll() code, that returns POLLIN even though there are no actual ready monitored fds. The bug shows up if you add an epoll fd inside another fd container (poll, select, epoll). The problem is that callback-based wake ups used by epoll does not carry (patches will follow, to fix this) any information about the events that actually happened. So the callback code, since it can't call the file* ->poll() inside the callback, chains the file* into a ready-list. So, suppose you added an fd with EPOLLOUT only, and some data shows up on the fd, the file* mapped by the fd will be added into the ready-list (via wakeup callback). During normal epoll_wait() use, this condition is sorted out at the time we're actually able to call the file*'s f_op->poll(). Inside the old epoll's f_op->poll() though, only a quick check !list_empty(ready-list) was performed, and this could have led to reporting POLLIN even though no ready fds would show up at a following epoll_wait(). In order to correctly report the ready status for an epoll fd, the ready-list must be checked to see if any really available fd+event would be ready in a following epoll_wait(). Operation (calling f_op->poll() from inside f_op->poll()) that, like wake ups, must be handled with care because of the fact that epoll fds can be added to other epoll fds.

epoll: do not take global 'epmutex' for simple topologies When calling EPOLL_CTL_ADD for an epoll file descriptor that is attached directly to a wakeup source, we do not need to take the global 'epmutex', unless the epoll file descriptor is nested. The purpose of taking the 'epmutex' on add is to prevent complex topologies such as loops and deep wakeup paths from forming in parallel through multiple EPOLL_CTL_ADD operations. However, for the simple case of an epoll file descriptor attached directly to a wakeup source (with no nesting), we do not need to hold the 'epmutex'. This patch along with 'epoll: optimize EPOLL_CTL_DEL using rcu' improves scalability on larger systems. Quoting Nathan Zimmer's mail on SPECjbb performance: "On the 16 socket run the performance went from 35k jOPS to 125k jOPS. In addition the benchmark when from scaling well on 10 sockets to scaling well on just over 40 sockets. ... Currently the benchmark stops scaling at around 40-44 sockets but it seems like I found a second unrelated bottleneck."

epoll: fix epoll's own poll Fix a bug inside the epoll's f_op->poll() code, that returns POLLIN even though there are no actual ready monitored fds. The bug shows up if you add an epoll fd inside another fd container (poll, select, epoll). The problem is that callback-based wake ups used by epoll does not carry (patches will follow, to fix this) any information about the events that actually happened. So the callback code, since it can't call the file* ->poll() inside the callback, chains the file* into a ready-list. So, suppose you added an fd with EPOLLOUT only, and some data shows up on the fd, the file* mapped by the fd will be added into the ready-list (via wakeup callback). During normal epoll_wait() use, this condition is sorted out at the time we're actually able to call the file*'s f_op->poll(). Inside the old epoll's f_op->poll() though, only a quick check !list_empty(ready-list) was performed, and this could have led to reporting POLLIN even though no ready fds would show up at a following epoll_wait(). In order to correctly report the ready status for an epoll fd, the ready-list must be checked to see if any really available fd+event would be ready in a following epoll_wait(). Operation (calling f_op->poll() from inside f_op->poll()) that, like wake ups, must be handled with care because of the fact that epoll fds can be added to other epoll fds.

epoll: fix epoll's own poll Fix a bug inside the epoll's f_op->poll() code, that returns POLLIN even though there are no actual ready monitored fds. The bug shows up if you add an epoll fd inside another fd container (poll, select, epoll). The problem is that callback-based wake ups used by epoll does not carry (patches will follow, to fix this) any information about the events that actually happened. So the callback code, since it can't call the file* ->poll() inside the callback, chains the file* into a ready-list. So, suppose you added an fd with EPOLLOUT only, and some data shows up on the fd, the file* mapped by the fd will be added into the ready-list (via wakeup callback). During normal epoll_wait() use, this condition is sorted out at the time we're actually able to call the file*'s f_op->poll(). Inside the old epoll's f_op->poll() though, only a quick check !list_empty(ready-list) was performed, and this could have led to reporting POLLIN even though no ready fds would show up at a following epoll_wait(). In order to correctly report the ready status for an epoll fd, the ready-list must be checked to see if any really available fd+event would be ready in a following epoll_wait(). Operation (calling f_op->poll() from inside f_op->poll()) that, like wake ups, must be handled with care because of the fact that epoll fds can be added to other epoll fds.

epoll: fix epoll's own poll Fix a bug inside the epoll's f_op->poll() code, that returns POLLIN even though there are no actual ready monitored fds. The bug shows up if you add an epoll fd inside another fd container (poll, select, epoll). The problem is that callback-based wake ups used by epoll does not carry (patches will follow, to fix this) any information about the events that actually happened. So the callback code, since it can't call the file* ->poll() inside the callback, chains the file* into a ready-list. So, suppose you added an fd with EPOLLOUT only, and some data shows up on the fd, the file* mapped by the fd will be added into the ready-list (via wakeup callback). During normal epoll_wait() use, this condition is sorted out at the time we're actually able to call the file*'s f_op->poll(). Inside the old epoll's f_op->poll() though, only a quick check !list_empty(ready-list) was performed, and this could have led to reporting POLLIN even though no ready fds would show up at a following epoll_wait(). In order to correctly report the ready status for an epoll fd, the ready-list must be checked to see if any really available fd+event would be ready in a following epoll_wait(). Operation (calling f_op->poll() from inside f_op->poll()) that, like wake ups, must be handled with care because of the fact that epoll fds can be added to other epoll fds.

epoll: do not take global 'epmutex' for simple topologies When calling EPOLL_CTL_ADD for an epoll file descriptor that is attached directly to a wakeup source, we do not need to take the global 'epmutex', unless the epoll file descriptor is nested. The purpose of taking the 'epmutex' on add is to prevent complex topologies such as loops and deep wakeup paths from forming in parallel through multiple EPOLL_CTL_ADD operations. However, for the simple case of an epoll file descriptor attached directly to a wakeup source (with no nesting), we do not need to hold the 'epmutex'. This patch along with 'epoll: optimize EPOLL_CTL_DEL using rcu' improves scalability on larger systems. Quoting Nathan Zimmer's mail on SPECjbb performance: "On the 16 socket run the performance went from 35k jOPS to 125k jOPS. In addition the benchmark when from scaling well on 10 sockets to scaling well on just over 40 sockets. ... Currently the benchmark stops scaling at around 40-44 sockets but it seems like I found a second unrelated bottleneck."

epoll: fix epoll's own poll Fix a bug inside the epoll's f_op->poll() code, that returns POLLIN even though there are no actual ready monitored fds. The bug shows up if you add an epoll fd inside another fd container (poll, select, epoll). The problem is that callback-based wake ups used by epoll does not carry (patches will follow, to fix this) any information about the events that actually happened. So the callback code, since it can't call the file* ->poll() inside the callback, chains the file* into a ready-list. So, suppose you added an fd with EPOLLOUT only, and some data shows up on the fd, the file* mapped by the fd will be added into the ready-list (via wakeup callback). During normal epoll_wait() use, this condition is sorted out at the time we're actually able to call the file*'s f_op->poll(). Inside the old epoll's f_op->poll() though, only a quick check !list_empty(ready-list) was performed, and this could have led to reporting POLLIN even though no ready fds would show up at a following epoll_wait(). In order to correctly report the ready status for an epoll fd, the ready-list must be checked to see if any really available fd+event would be ready in a following epoll_wait(). Operation (calling f_op->poll() from inside f_op->poll()) that, like wake ups, must be handled with care because of the fact that epoll fds can be added to other epoll fds.

epoll: optimize EPOLL_CTL_DEL using rcu Nathan Zimmer found that once we get over 10+ cpus, the scalability of SPECjbb falls over due to the contention on the global 'epmutex', which is taken in on EPOLL_CTL_ADD and EPOLL_CTL_DEL operations. Patch #1 removes the 'epmutex' lock completely from the EPOLL_CTL_DEL path by using rcu to guard against any concurrent traversals. Patch #2 remove the 'epmutex' lock from EPOLL_CTL_ADD operations for simple topologies. IE when adding a link from an epoll file descriptor to a wakeup source, where the epoll file descriptor is not nested. This patch (of 2): Optimize EPOLL_CTL_DEL such that it does not require the 'epmutex' by converting the file->f_ep_links list into an rcu one. In this way, we can traverse the epoll network on the add path in parallel with deletes. Since deletes can't create loops or worse wakeup paths, this is safe. This patch in combination with the patch "epoll: Do not take global 'epmutex' for simple topologies", shows a dramatic performance improvement in scalability for SPECjbb.

epoll: introduce resource usage limits It has been thought that the per-user file descriptors limit would also limit the resources that a normal user can request via the epoll interface. Vegard Nossum reported a very simple program (a modified version attached) that can make a normal user to request a pretty large amount of kernel memory, well within the its maximum number of fds. To solve such problem, default limits are now imposed, and /proc based configuration has been introduced. A new directory has been created, named /proc/sys/fs/epoll/ and inside there, there are two configuration points: max_user_instances = Maximum number of devices - per user max_user_watches = Maximum number of "watched" fds - per user The current default for "max_user_watches" limits the memory used by epoll to store "watches", to 1/32 of the amount of the low RAM. As example, a 256MB 32bit machine, will have "max_user_watches" set to roughly 90000. That should be enough to not break existing heavy epoll users. The default value for "max_user_instances" is set to 128, that should be enough too. This also changes the userspace, because a new error code can now come out from EPOLL_CTL_ADD (-ENOSPC). The EMFILE from epoll_create() was already listed, so that should be ok.

epoll: introduce resource usage limits It has been thought that the per-user file descriptors limit would also limit the resources that a normal user can request via the epoll interface. Vegard Nossum reported a very simple program (a modified version attached) that can make a normal user to request a pretty large amount of kernel memory, well within the its maximum number of fds. To solve such problem, default limits are now imposed, and /proc based configuration has been introduced. A new directory has been created, named /proc/sys/fs/epoll/ and inside there, there are two configuration points: max_user_instances = Maximum number of devices - per user max_user_watches = Maximum number of "watched" fds - per user The current default for "max_user_watches" limits the memory used by epoll to store "watches", to 1/32 of the amount of the low RAM. As example, a 256MB 32bit machine, will have "max_user_watches" set to roughly 90000. That should be enough to not break existing heavy epoll users. The default value for "max_user_instances" is set to 128, that should be enough too. This also changes the userspace, because a new error code can now come out from EPOLL_CTL_ADD (-ENOSPC). The EMFILE from epoll_create() was already listed, so that should be ok.

epoll: remove ep_call_nested() from ep_eventpoll_poll() The use of ep_call_nested() in ep_eventpoll_poll(), which is the .poll routine for an epoll fd, is used to prevent excessively deep epoll nesting, and to prevent circular paths. However, we are already preventing these conditions during EPOLL_CTL_ADD. In terms of too deep epoll chains, we do in fact allow deep nesting of the epoll fds themselves (deeper than EP_MAX_NESTS), however we don't allow more than EP_MAX_NESTS when an epoll file descriptor is actually connected to a wakeup source. Thus, we do not require the use of ep_call_nested(), since ep_eventpoll_poll(), which is called via ep_scan_ready_list() only continues nesting if there are events available. Since ep_call_nested() is implemented using a global lock, applications that make use of nested epoll can see large performance improvements with this change.

epoll: fix epoll's own poll Fix a bug inside the epoll's f_op->poll() code, that returns POLLIN even though there are no actual ready monitored fds. The bug shows up if you add an epoll fd inside another fd container (poll, select, epoll). The problem is that callback-based wake ups used by epoll does not carry (patches will follow, to fix this) any information about the events that actually happened. So the callback code, since it can't call the file* ->poll() inside the callback, chains the file* into a ready-list. So, suppose you added an fd with EPOLLOUT only, and some data shows up on the fd, the file* mapped by the fd will be added into the ready-list (via wakeup callback). During normal epoll_wait() use, this condition is sorted out at the time we're actually able to call the file*'s f_op->poll(). Inside the old epoll's f_op->poll() though, only a quick check !list_empty(ready-list) was performed, and this could have led to reporting POLLIN even though no ready fds would show up at a following epoll_wait(). In order to correctly report the ready status for an epoll fd, the ready-list must be checked to see if any really available fd+event would be ready in a following epoll_wait(). Operation (calling f_op->poll() from inside f_op->poll()) that, like wake ups, must be handled with care because of the fact that epoll fds can be added to other epoll fds.

poll: add poll_requested_events() and poll_does_not_wait() functions In some cases the poll() implementation in a driver has to do different things depending on the events the caller wants to poll for. An example is when a driver needs to start a DMA engine if the caller polls for POLLIN, but doesn't want to do that if POLLIN is not requested but instead only POLLOUT or POLLPRI is requested. This is something that can happen in the video4linux subsystem among others. Unfortunately, the current epoll/poll/select implementation doesn't provide that information reliably. The poll_table_struct does have it: it has a key field with the event mask. But once a poll() call matches one or more bits of that mask any following poll() calls are passed a NULL poll_table pointer. Also, the eventpoll implementation always left the key field at ~0 instead of using the requested events mask. This was changed in eventpoll.c so the key field now contains the actual events that should be polled for as set by the caller. The solution to the NULL poll_table pointer is to set the qproc field to NULL in poll_table once poll() matches the events, not the poll_table pointer itself. That way drivers can obtain the mask through a new poll_requested_events inline. The poll_table_struct can still be NULL since some kernel code calls it internally (netfs_state_poll() in ./drivers/staging/pohmelfs/netfs.h). In that case poll_requested_events() returns ~0 (i.e. all events). Very rarely drivers might want to know whether poll_wait will actually wait. If another earlier file descriptor in the set already matched the events the caller wanted to wait for, then the kernel will return from the select() call without waiting. This might be useful information in order to avoid doing expensive work. A new helper function poll_does_not_wait() is added that drivers can use to detect this situation. This is now used in sock_poll_wait() in include/net/sock.h. This was the only place in the kernel that needed this information. Drivers should no longer access any of the poll_table internals, but use the poll_requested_events() and poll_does_not_wait() access functions instead. In order to enforce that the poll_table fields are now prepended with an underscore and a comment was added warning against using them directly. This required a change in unix_dgram_poll() in unix/af_unix.c which used the key field to get the requested events. It's been replaced by a call to poll_requested_events(). For qproc it was especially important to change its name since the behavior of that field changes with this patch since this function pointer can now be NULL when that wasn't possible in the past. Any driver accessing the qproc or key fields directly will now fail to compile. Some notes regarding the correctness of this patch: the driver's poll() function is called with a 'struct poll_table_struct *wait' argument. This pointer may or may not be NULL, drivers can never rely on it being one or the other as that depends on whether or not an earlier file descriptor in the select()'s fdset matched the requested events. There are only three things a driver can do with the wait argument: 1) obtain the key field: events = wait ? wait->key : ~0; This will still work although it should be replaced with the new poll_requested_events() function (which does exactly the same). This will now even work better, since wait is no longer set to NULL unnecessarily. 2) use the qproc callback. This could be deadly since qproc can now be NULL. Renaming qproc should prevent this from happening. There are no kernel drivers that actually access this callback directly, BTW. 3) test whether wait == NULL to determine whether poll would return without waiting. This is no longer sufficient as the correct test is now wait == NULL || wait->_qproc == NULL. However, the worst that can happen here is a slight performance hit in the case where wait != NULL and wait->_qproc == NULL. In that case the driver will assume that poll_wait() will actually add the fd to the set of waiting file descriptors. Of course, poll_wait() will not do that since it tests for wait->_qproc. This will not break anything, though. There is only one place in the whole kernel where this happens (sock_poll_wait() in include/net/sock.h) and that code will be replaced by a call to poll_does_not_wait() in the next patch. Note that even if wait->_qproc != NULL drivers cannot rely on poll_wait() actually waiting. The next file descriptor from the set might match the event mask and thus any possible waits will never happen.

epoll: remove ep_call_nested() from ep_eventpoll_poll() The use of ep_call_nested() in ep_eventpoll_poll(), which is the .poll routine for an epoll fd, is used to prevent excessively deep epoll nesting, and to prevent circular paths. However, we are already preventing these conditions during EPOLL_CTL_ADD. In terms of too deep epoll chains, we do in fact allow deep nesting of the epoll fds themselves (deeper than EP_MAX_NESTS), however we don't allow more than EP_MAX_NESTS when an epoll file descriptor is actually connected to a wakeup source. Thus, we do not require the use of ep_call_nested(), since ep_eventpoll_poll(), which is called via ep_scan_ready_list() only continues nesting if there are events available. Since ep_call_nested() is implemented using a global lock, applications that make use of nested epoll can see large performance improvements with this change.

epoll: fix epoll's own poll Fix a bug inside the epoll's f_op->poll() code, that returns POLLIN even though there are no actual ready monitored fds. The bug shows up if you add an epoll fd inside another fd container (poll, select, epoll). The problem is that callback-based wake ups used by epoll does not carry (patches will follow, to fix this) any information about the events that actually happened. So the callback code, since it can't call the file* ->poll() inside the callback, chains the file* into a ready-list. So, suppose you added an fd with EPOLLOUT only, and some data shows up on the fd, the file* mapped by the fd will be added into the ready-list (via wakeup callback). During normal epoll_wait() use, this condition is sorted out at the time we're actually able to call the file*'s f_op->poll(). Inside the old epoll's f_op->poll() though, only a quick check !list_empty(ready-list) was performed, and this could have led to reporting POLLIN even though no ready fds would show up at a following epoll_wait(). In order to correctly report the ready status for an epoll fd, the ready-list must be checked to see if any really available fd+event would be ready in a following epoll_wait(). Operation (calling f_op->poll() from inside f_op->poll()) that, like wake ups, must be handled with care because of the fact that epoll fds can be added to other epoll fds.

poll: add poll_requested_events() and poll_does_not_wait() functions In some cases the poll() implementation in a driver has to do different things depending on the events the caller wants to poll for. An example is when a driver needs to start a DMA engine if the caller polls for POLLIN, but doesn't want to do that if POLLIN is not requested but instead only POLLOUT or POLLPRI is requested. This is something that can happen in the video4linux subsystem among others. Unfortunately, the current epoll/poll/select implementation doesn't provide that information reliably. The poll_table_struct does have it: it has a key field with the event mask. But once a poll() call matches one or more bits of that mask any following poll() calls are passed a NULL poll_table pointer. Also, the eventpoll implementation always left the key field at ~0 instead of using the requested events mask. This was changed in eventpoll.c so the key field now contains the actual events that should be polled for as set by the caller. The solution to the NULL poll_table pointer is to set the qproc field to NULL in poll_table once poll() matches the events, not the poll_table pointer itself. That way drivers can obtain the mask through a new poll_requested_events inline. The poll_table_struct can still be NULL since some kernel code calls it internally (netfs_state_poll() in ./drivers/staging/pohmelfs/netfs.h). In that case poll_requested_events() returns ~0 (i.e. all events). Very rarely drivers might want to know whether poll_wait will actually wait. If another earlier file descriptor in the set already matched the events the caller wanted to wait for, then the kernel will return from the select() call without waiting. This might be useful information in order to avoid doing expensive work. A new helper function poll_does_not_wait() is added that drivers can use to detect this situation. This is now used in sock_poll_wait() in include/net/sock.h. This was the only place in the kernel that needed this information. Drivers should no longer access any of the poll_table internals, but use the poll_requested_events() and poll_does_not_wait() access functions instead. In order to enforce that the poll_table fields are now prepended with an underscore and a comment was added warning against using them directly. This required a change in unix_dgram_poll() in unix/af_unix.c which used the key field to get the requested events. It's been replaced by a call to poll_requested_events(). For qproc it was especially important to change its name since the behavior of that field changes with this patch since this function pointer can now be NULL when that wasn't possible in the past. Any driver accessing the qproc or key fields directly will now fail to compile. Some notes regarding the correctness of this patch: the driver's poll() function is called with a 'struct poll_table_struct *wait' argument. This pointer may or may not be NULL, drivers can never rely on it being one or the other as that depends on whether or not an earlier file descriptor in the select()'s fdset matched the requested events. There are only three things a driver can do with the wait argument: 1) obtain the key field: events = wait ? wait->key : ~0; This will still work although it should be replaced with the new poll_requested_events() function (which does exactly the same). This will now even work better, since wait is no longer set to NULL unnecessarily. 2) use the qproc callback. This could be deadly since qproc can now be NULL. Renaming qproc should prevent this from happening. There are no kernel drivers that actually access this callback directly, BTW. 3) test whether wait == NULL to determine whether poll would return without waiting. This is no longer sufficient as the correct test is now wait == NULL || wait->_qproc == NULL. However, the worst that can happen here is a slight performance hit in the case where wait != NULL and wait->_qproc == NULL. In that case the driver will assume that poll_wait() will actually add the fd to the set of waiting file descriptors. Of course, poll_wait() will not do that since it tests for wait->_qproc. This will not break anything, though. There is only one place in the whole kernel where this happens (sock_poll_wait() in include/net/sock.h) and that code will be replaced by a call to poll_does_not_wait() in the next patch. Note that even if wait->_qproc != NULL drivers cannot rely on poll_wait() actually waiting. The next file descriptor from the set might match the event mask and thus any possible waits will never happen.

epoll: remove ep_call_nested() from ep_eventpoll_poll() The use of ep_call_nested() in ep_eventpoll_poll(), which is the .poll routine for an epoll fd, is used to prevent excessively deep epoll nesting, and to prevent circular paths. However, we are already preventing these conditions during EPOLL_CTL_ADD. In terms of too deep epoll chains, we do in fact allow deep nesting of the epoll fds themselves (deeper than EP_MAX_NESTS), however we don't allow more than EP_MAX_NESTS when an epoll file descriptor is actually connected to a wakeup source. Thus, we do not require the use of ep_call_nested(), since ep_eventpoll_poll(), which is called via ep_scan_ready_list() only continues nesting if there are events available. Since ep_call_nested() is implemented using a global lock, applications that make use of nested epoll can see large performance improvements with this change.

epoll: fix epoll's own poll Fix a bug inside the epoll's f_op->poll() code, that returns POLLIN even though there are no actual ready monitored fds. The bug shows up if you add an epoll fd inside another fd container (poll, select, epoll). The problem is that callback-based wake ups used by epoll does not carry (patches will follow, to fix this) any information about the events that actually happened. So the callback code, since it can't call the file* ->poll() inside the callback, chains the file* into a ready-list. So, suppose you added an fd with EPOLLOUT only, and some data shows up on the fd, the file* mapped by the fd will be added into the ready-list (via wakeup callback). During normal epoll_wait() use, this condition is sorted out at the time we're actually able to call the file*'s f_op->poll(). Inside the old epoll's f_op->poll() though, only a quick check !list_empty(ready-list) was performed, and this could have led to reporting POLLIN even though no ready fds would show up at a following epoll_wait(). In order to correctly report the ready status for an epoll fd, the ready-list must be checked to see if any really available fd+event would be ready in a following epoll_wait(). Operation (calling f_op->poll() from inside f_op->poll()) that, like wake ups, must be handled with care because of the fact that epoll fds can be added to other epoll fds.

epoll: fix epoll's own poll Fix a bug inside the epoll's f_op->poll() code, that returns POLLIN even though there are no actual ready monitored fds. The bug shows up if you add an epoll fd inside another fd container (poll, select, epoll). The problem is that callback-based wake ups used by epoll does not carry (patches will follow, to fix this) any information about the events that actually happened. So the callback code, since it can't call the file* ->poll() inside the callback, chains the file* into a ready-list. So, suppose you added an fd with EPOLLOUT only, and some data shows up on the fd, the file* mapped by the fd will be added into the ready-list (via wakeup callback). During normal epoll_wait() use, this condition is sorted out at the time we're actually able to call the file*'s f_op->poll(). Inside the old epoll's f_op->poll() though, only a quick check !list_empty(ready-list) was performed, and this could have led to reporting POLLIN even though no ready fds would show up at a following epoll_wait(). In order to correctly report the ready status for an epoll fd, the ready-list must be checked to see if any really available fd+event would be ready in a following epoll_wait(). Operation (calling f_op->poll() from inside f_op->poll()) that, like wake ups, must be handled with care because of the fact that epoll fds can be added to other epoll fds.

epoll: remove ep_call_nested() from ep_eventpoll_poll() The use of ep_call_nested() in ep_eventpoll_poll(), which is the .poll routine for an epoll fd, is used to prevent excessively deep epoll nesting, and to prevent circular paths. However, we are already preventing these conditions during EPOLL_CTL_ADD. In terms of too deep epoll chains, we do in fact allow deep nesting of the epoll fds themselves (deeper than EP_MAX_NESTS), however we don't allow more than EP_MAX_NESTS when an epoll file descriptor is actually connected to a wakeup source. Thus, we do not require the use of ep_call_nested(), since ep_eventpoll_poll(), which is called via ep_scan_ready_list() only continues nesting if there are events available. Since ep_call_nested() is implemented using a global lock, applications that make use of nested epoll can see large performance improvements with this change. Davidlohr said: : Improvements are quite obscene actually, such as for the following : epoll_wait() benchmark with 2 level nesting on a 80 core IvyBridge: : : ncpus vanilla dirty delta : 1 2447092 3028315 +23.75% : 4 231265 2986954 +1191.57% : 8 121631 2898796 +2283.27% : 16 59749 2902056 +4757.07% : 32 26837 2326314 +8568.30% : 64 12926 1341281 +10276.61% : : (http://linux-scalability.org/epoll/epoll-test.c) Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1509430214-5599-1-git-send-email-jbaron@akamai.com Signed-off-by: Jason Baron <jbaron@akamai.com> Cc: Davidlohr Bueso <dave@stgolabs.net> Cc: Alexander Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Cc: Salman Qazi <sqazi@google.com> Cc: Hou Tao <houtao1@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

epoll: remove ep_call_nested() from ep_eventpoll_poll() The use of ep_call_nested() in ep_eventpoll_poll(), which is the .poll routine for an epoll fd, is used to prevent excessively deep epoll nesting, and to prevent circular paths. However, we are already preventing these conditions during EPOLL_CTL_ADD. In terms of too deep epoll chains, we do in fact allow deep nesting of the epoll fds themselves (deeper than EP_MAX_NESTS), however we don't allow more than EP_MAX_NESTS when an epoll file descriptor is actually connected to a wakeup source. Thus, we do not require the use of ep_call_nested(), since ep_eventpoll_poll(), which is called via ep_scan_ready_list() only continues nesting if there are events available. Since ep_call_nested() is implemented using a global lock, applications that make use of nested epoll can see large performance improvements with this change.

epoll: fix epoll's own poll Fix a bug inside the epoll's f_op->poll() code, that returns POLLIN even though there are no actual ready monitored fds. The bug shows up if you add an epoll fd inside another fd container (poll, select, epoll). The problem is that callback-based wake ups used by epoll does not carry (patches will follow, to fix this) any information about the events that actually happened. So the callback code, since it can't call the file* ->poll() inside the callback, chains the file* into a ready-list. So, suppose you added an fd with EPOLLOUT only, and some data shows up on the fd, the file* mapped by the fd will be added into the ready-list (via wakeup callback). During normal epoll_wait() use, this condition is sorted out at the time we're actually able to call the file*'s f_op->poll(). Inside the old epoll's f_op->poll() though, only a quick check !list_empty(ready-list) was performed, and this could have led to reporting POLLIN even though no ready fds would show up at a following epoll_wait(). In order to correctly report the ready status for an epoll fd, the ready-list must be checked to see if any really available fd+event would be ready in a following epoll_wait(). Operation (calling f_op->poll() from inside f_op->poll()) that, like wake ups, must be handled with care because of the fact that epoll fds can be added to other epoll fds.

llseek: automatically add .llseek fop All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a .llseek pointer. The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek. New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek and call nonseekable_open at open time. Existing drivers can be converted to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code relies on calling seek on the device file. The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle. Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window. Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic patch that does all this. ===== begin semantic patch ===== // This adds an llseek= method to all file operations, // as a preparation for making no_llseek the default. // // The rules are // - use no_llseek explicitly if we do nonseekable_open // - use seq_lseek for sequential files // - use default_llseek if we know we access f_pos // - use noop_llseek if we know we don't access f_pos, // but we still want to allow users to call lseek // @ open1 exists @ identifier nested_open; @@ nested_open(...) { <+... nonseekable_open(...) ...+> } @ open exists@ identifier open_f; identifier i, f; identifier open1.nested_open; @@ int open_f(struct inode *i, struct file *f) { <+...

epoll: fix epoll's own poll Fix a bug inside the epoll's f_op->poll() code, that returns POLLIN even though there are no actual ready monitored fds. The bug shows up if you add an epoll fd inside another fd container (poll, select, epoll). The problem is that callback-based wake ups used by epoll does not carry (patches will follow, to fix this) any information about the events that actually happened. So the callback code, since it can't call the file* ->poll() inside the callback, chains the file* into a ready-list. So, suppose you added an fd with EPOLLOUT only, and some data shows up on the fd, the file* mapped by the fd will be added into the ready-list (via wakeup callback). During normal epoll_wait() use, this condition is sorted out at the time we're actually able to call the file*'s f_op->poll(). Inside the old epoll's f_op->poll() though, only a quick check !list_empty(ready-list) was performed, and this could have led to reporting POLLIN even though no ready fds would show up at a following epoll_wait(). In order to correctly report the ready status for an epoll fd, the ready-list must be checked to see if any really available fd+event would be ready in a following epoll_wait(). Operation (calling f_op->poll() from inside f_op->poll()) that, like wake ups, must be handled with care because of the fact that epoll fds can be added to other epoll fds.

epoll: introduce resource usage limits It has been thought that the per-user file descriptors limit would also limit the resources that a normal user can request via the epoll interface. Vegard Nossum reported a very simple program (a modified version attached) that can make a normal user to request a pretty large amount of kernel memory, well within the its maximum number of fds. To solve such problem, default limits are now imposed, and /proc based configuration has been introduced. A new directory has been created, named /proc/sys/fs/epoll/ and inside there, there are two configuration points: max_user_instances = Maximum number of devices - per user max_user_watches = Maximum number of "watched" fds - per user The current default for "max_user_watches" limits the memory used by epoll to store "watches", to 1/32 of the amount of the low RAM. As example, a 256MB 32bit machine, will have "max_user_watches" set to roughly 90000. That should be enough to not break existing heavy epoll users. The default value for "max_user_instances" is set to 128, that should be enough too. This also changes the userspace, because a new error code can now come out from EPOLL_CTL_ADD (-ENOSPC). The EMFILE from epoll_create() was already listed, so that should be ok.

kcmp: add KCMP_EPOLL_TFD mode to compare epoll target files With current epoll architecture target files are addressed with file_struct and file descriptor number, where the last is not unique. Moreover files can be transferred from another process via unix socket, added into queue and closed then so we won't find this descriptor in the task fdinfo list. Thus to checkpoint and restore such processes CRIU needs to find out where exactly the target file is present to add it into epoll queue. For this sake one can use kcmp call where some particular target file from the queue is compared with arbitrary file passed as an argument. Because epoll target files can have same file descriptor number but different file_struct a caller should explicitly specify the offset within. To test if some particular file is matching entry inside epoll one have to - fill kcmp_epoll_slot structure with epoll file descriptor, target file number and target file offset (in case if only one target is present then it should be 0) - call kcmp as kcmp(pid1, pid2, KCMP_EPOLL_TFD, fd, &kcmp_epoll_slot) - the kernel fetch file pointer matching file descriptor @fd of pid1 - lookups for file struct in epoll queue of pid2 and returns traditional 0,1,2 result for sorting purpose Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170424154423.511592110@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Cyrill Gorcunov <gorcunov@openvz.org> Acked-by: Andrey Vagin <avagin@openvz.org> Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Cc: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@virtuozzo.com> Cc: Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages@gmail.com> Cc: Jason Baron <jbaron@akamai.com> Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@amacapital.net> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

To test if some particular file is matching entry inside epoll one have to - fill kcmp_epoll_slot structure with epoll file descriptor, target file number and target file offset (in case if only one target is present then it should be 0) - call kcmp as kcmp(pid1, pid2, KCMP_EPOLL_TFD, fd, &kcmp_epoll_slot) - the kernel fetch file pointer matching file descriptor @fd of pid1 - lookups for file struct in epoll queue of pid2 and returns traditional 0,1,2 result for sorting purpose Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170424154423.511592110@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Cyrill Gorcunov <gorcunov@openvz.org> Acked-by: Andrey Vagin <avagin@openvz.org> Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Cc: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@virtuozzo.com> Cc: Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages@gmail.com> Cc: Jason Baron <jbaron@akamai.com> Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@amacapital.net> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

epoll: add EPOLLEXCLUSIVE flag Currently, epoll file descriptors or epfds (the fd returned from epoll_create[1]()) that are added to a shared wakeup source are always added in a non-exclusive manner. This means that when we have multiple epfds attached to a shared fd source they are all woken up. This creates thundering herd type behavior. Introduce a new 'EPOLLEXCLUSIVE' flag that can be passed as part of the 'event' argument during an epoll_ctl() EPOLL_CTL_ADD operation. This new flag allows for exclusive wakeups when there are multiple epfds attached to a shared fd event source. The implementation walks the list of exclusive waiters, and queues an event to each epfd, until it finds the first waiter that has threads blocked on it via epoll_wait(). The idea is to search for threads which are idle and ready to process the wakeup events. Thus, we queue an event to at least 1 epfd, but may still potentially queue an event to all epfds that are attached to the shared fd source. Performance testing was done by Madars Vitolins using a modified version of Enduro/X. The use of the 'EPOLLEXCLUSIVE' flag reduce the length of this particular workload from 860s down to 24s. Sample epoll_clt text: EPOLLEXCLUSIVE Sets an exclusive wakeup mode for the epfd file descriptor that is being attached to the target file descriptor, fd. Thus, when an event occurs and multiple epfd file descriptors are attached to the same target file using EPOLLEXCLUSIVE, one or more epfds will receive an event with epoll_wait(2). The default in this scenario (when EPOLLEXCLUSIVE is not set) is for all epfds to receive an event. EPOLLEXCLUSIVE may only be specified with the op EPOLL_CTL_ADD.

epoll: fix epoll's own poll Fix a bug inside the epoll's f_op->poll() code, that returns POLLIN even though there are no actual ready monitored fds. The bug shows up if you add an epoll fd inside another fd container (poll, select, epoll). The problem is that callback-based wake ups used by epoll does not carry (patches will follow, to fix this) any information about the events that actually happened. So the callback code, since it can't call the file* ->poll() inside the callback, chains the file* into a ready-list. So, suppose you added an fd with EPOLLOUT only, and some data shows up on the fd, the file* mapped by the fd will be added into the ready-list (via wakeup callback). During normal epoll_wait() use, this condition is sorted out at the time we're actually able to call the file*'s f_op->poll(). Inside the old epoll's f_op->poll() though, only a quick check !list_empty(ready-list) was performed, and this could have led to reporting POLLIN even though no ready fds would show up at a following epoll_wait(). In order to correctly report the ready status for an epoll fd, the ready-list must be checked to see if any really available fd+event would be ready in a following epoll_wait(). Operation (calling f_op->poll() from inside f_op->poll()) that, like wake ups, must be handled with care because of the fact that epoll fds can be added to other epoll fds.

epoll: restrict EPOLLEXCLUSIVE to POLLIN and POLLOUT In the current implementation of the EPOLLEXCLUSIVE flag (added for 4.5-rc1), if epoll waiters create different POLL* sets and register them as exclusive against the same target fd, the current implementation will stop waking any further waiters once it finds the first idle waiter. This means that waiters could miss wakeups in certain cases. For example, when we wake up a pipe for reading we do: wake_up_interruptible_sync_poll(&pipe->wait, POLLIN | POLLRDNORM); So if one epoll set or epfd is added to pipe p with POLLIN and a second set epfd2 is added to pipe p with POLLRDNORM, only epfd may receive the wakeup since the current implementation will stop after it finds any intersection of events with a waiter that is blocked in epoll_wait(). We could potentially address this by requiring all epoll waiters that are added to p be required to pass the same set of POLL* events. IE the first EPOLL_CTL_ADD that passes EPOLLEXCLUSIVE establishes the set POLL* flags to be used by any other epfds that are added as EPOLLEXCLUSIVE. However, I think it might be somewhat confusing interface as we would have to reference count the number of users for that set, and so userspace would have to keep track of that count, or we would need a more involved interface. It also adds some shared state that we'd have store somewhere. I don't think anybody will want to bloat __wait_queue_head for this. I think what we could do instead, is to simply restrict EPOLLEXCLUSIVE such that it can only be specified with EPOLLIN and/or EPOLLOUT. So that way if the wakeup includes 'POLLIN' and not 'POLLOUT', we can stop once we hit the first idle waiter that specifies the EPOLLIN bit, since any remaining waiters that only have 'POLLOUT' set wouldn't need to be woken. Likewise, we can do the same thing if 'POLLOUT' is in the wakeup bit set and not 'POLLIN'. If both 'POLLOUT' and 'POLLIN' are set in the wake bit set (there is at least one example of this I saw in fs/pipe.c), then we just wake the entire exclusive list. Having both 'POLLOUT' and 'POLLIN' both set should not be on any performance critical path, so I think that's ok (in fs/pipe.c its in pipe_release()). We also continue to include EPOLLERR and EPOLLHUP by default in any exclusive set. Thus, the user can specify EPOLLERR and/or EPOLLHUP but is not required to do so. Since epoll waiters may be interested in other events as well besides EPOLLIN, EPOLLOUT, EPOLLERR and EPOLLHUP, these can still be added by doing a 'dup' call on the target fd and adding that as one normally would with EPOLL_CTL_ADD. Since I think that the POLLIN and POLLOUT events are what we are interest in balancing, I think that the 'dup' thing could perhaps be added to only one of the waiter threads. However, I think that EPOLLIN, EPOLLOUT, EPOLLERR and EPOLLHUP should be sufficient for the majority of use-cases. Since EPOLLEXCLUSIVE is intended to be used with a target fd shared among multiple epfds, where between 1 and n of the epfds may receive an event, it does not satisfy the semantics of EPOLLONESHOT where only 1 epfd would get an event. Thus, it is not allowed to be specified in conjunction with EPOLLEXCLUSIVE. EPOLL_CTL_MOD is also not allowed if the fd was previously added as EPOLLEXCLUSIVE. It seems with the limited number of flags to not be as interesting, but this could be relaxed at some further point.

Introduce a new 'EPOLLEXCLUSIVE' flag that can be passed as part of the 'event' argument during an epoll_ctl() EPOLL_CTL_ADD operation. This new flag allows for exclusive wakeups when there are multiple epfds attached to a shared fd event source. The implementation walks the list of exclusive waiters, and queues an event to each epfd, until it finds the first waiter that has threads blocked on it via epoll_wait(). The idea is to search for threads which are idle and ready to process the wakeup events. Thus, we queue an event to at least 1 epfd, but may still potentially queue an event to all epfds that are attached to the shared fd source. Performance testing was done by Madars Vitolins using a modified version of Enduro/X. The use of the 'EPOLLEXCLUSIVE' flag reduce the length of this particular workload from 860s down to 24s. Sample epoll_clt text: EPOLLEXCLUSIVE Sets an exclusive wakeup mode for the epfd file descriptor that is being attached to the target file descriptor, fd. Thus, when an event occurs and multiple epfd file descriptors are attached to the same target file using EPOLLEXCLUSIVE, one or more epfds will receive an event with epoll_wait(2). The default in this scenario (when EPOLLEXCLUSIVE is not set) is for all epfds to receive an event. EPOLLEXCLUSIVE may only be specified with the op EPOLL_CTL_ADD.

epoll: fix epoll's own poll Fix a bug inside the epoll's f_op->poll() code, that returns POLLIN even though there are no actual ready monitored fds. The bug shows up if you add an epoll fd inside another fd container (poll, select, epoll). The problem is that callback-based wake ups used by epoll does not carry (patches will follow, to fix this) any information about the events that actually happened. So the callback code, since it can't call the file* ->poll() inside the callback, chains the file* into a ready-list. So, suppose you added an fd with EPOLLOUT only, and some data shows up on the fd, the file* mapped by the fd will be added into the ready-list (via wakeup callback). During normal epoll_wait() use, this condition is sorted out at the time we're actually able to call the file*'s f_op->poll(). Inside the old epoll's f_op->poll() though, only a quick check !list_empty(ready-list) was performed, and this could have led to reporting POLLIN even though no ready fds would show up at a following epoll_wait(). In order to correctly report the ready status for an epoll fd, the ready-list must be checked to see if any really available fd+event would be ready in a following epoll_wait(). Operation (calling f_op->poll() from inside f_op->poll()) that, like wake ups, must be handled with care because of the fact that epoll fds can be added to other epoll fds.

revert "epoll: support for disabling items, and a self-test app" Revert commit 03a7beb55b9f ("epoll: support for disabling items, and a self-test app") pending resolution of the issues identified by Michael Kerrisk, copied below. We'll revisit this for 3.8. : I've taken a look at this patch as it currently stands in 3.7-rc1, and : done a bit of testing. (By the way, the test program : tools/testing/selftests/epoll/test_epoll.c does not compile...) : : There are one or two places where the behavior seems a little strange, : so I have a question or two at the end of this mail. But other than : that, I want to check my understanding so that the interface can be : correctly documented. : : Just to go though my understanding, the problem is the following : scenario in a multithreaded application: : : 1. Multiple threads are performing epoll_wait() operations, : and maintaining a user-space cache that contains information : corresponding to each file descriptor being monitored by : epoll_wait(). : : 2. At some point, a thread wants to delete (EPOLL_CTL_DEL) : a file descriptor from the epoll interest list, and : delete the corresponding record from the user-space cache. : : 3. The problem with (2) is that some other thread may have : previously done an epoll_wait() that retrieved information : about the fd in question, and may be in the middle of using : information in the cache that relates to that fd. Thus, : there is a potential race. : : 4. The race can't solved purely in user space, because doing : so would require applying a mutex across the epoll_wait() : call, which would of course blow thread concurrency. : : Right? : : Your solution is the EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE operation. I want to : confirm my understanding about how to use this flag, since : the description that has accompanied the patches so far : has been a bit sparse : : 0. In the scenario you're concerned about, deleting a file : descriptor means (safely) doing the following: : (a) Deleting the file descriptor from the epoll interest list : using EPOLL_CTL_DEL : (b) Deleting the corresponding record in the user-space cache : : 1. It's only meaningful to use this EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE in : conjunction with EPOLLONESHOT. : : 2. Using EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE without using EPOLLONESHOT in : conjunction is a logical error. : : 3. The correct way to code multithreaded applications using : EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE and EPOLLONESHOT is as follows: : : a. All EPOLL_CTL_ADD and EPOLL_CTL_MOD operations should : should EPOLLONESHOT. : : b. When a thread wants to delete a file descriptor, it : should do the following: : : [1] Call epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE) : [2] If the return status from epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE) : was zero, then the file descriptor can be safely : deleted by the thread that made this call. : [3] If the epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE) fails with EBUSY, : then the descriptor is in use. In this case, the calling : thread should set a flag in the user-space cache to : indicate that the thread that is using the descriptor : should perform the deletion operation. : : Is all of the above correct? : : The implementation depends on checking on whether : (events & ~EP_PRIVATE_BITS) == 0 : This replies on the fact that EPOLL_CTL_AD and EPOLL_CTL_MOD always : set EPOLLHUP and EPOLLERR in the 'events' mask, and EPOLLONESHOT : causes those flags (as well as all others in ~EP_PRIVATE_BITS) to be : cleared. : : A corollary to the previous paragraph is that using EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE : is only useful in conjunction with EPOLLONESHOT. However, as things : stand, one can use EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE on a file descriptor that does : not have EPOLLONESHOT set in 'events' This results in the following : (slightly surprising) behavior: : : (a) The first call to epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE) returns 0 : (the indicator that the file descriptor can be safely deleted). : (b) The next call to epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE) fails with EBUSY. : : This doesn't seem particularly useful, and in fact is probably an : indication that the user made a logic error: they should only be using : epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE) on a file descriptor for which : EPOLLONESHOT was set in 'events'. If that is correct, then would it : not make sense to return an error to user space for this case? Cc: Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages@gmail.com> Cc: "Paton J.

epoll: limit paths The current epoll code can be tickled to run basically indefinitely in both loop detection path check (on ep_insert()), and in the wakeup paths. The programs that tickle this behavior set up deeply linked networks of epoll file descriptors that cause the epoll algorithms to traverse them indefinitely. A couple of these sample programs have been previously posted in this thread: https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/2/25/297. To fix the loop detection path check algorithms, I simply keep track of the epoll nodes that have been already visited. Thus, the loop detection becomes proportional to the number of epoll file descriptor and links. This dramatically decreases the run-time of the loop check algorithm. In one diabolical case I tried it reduced the run-time from 15 mintues (all in kernel time) to .3 seconds. Fixing the wakeup paths could be done at wakeup time in a similar manner by keeping track of nodes that have already been visited, but the complexity is harder, since there can be multiple wakeups on different cpus...Thus, I've opted to limit the number of possible wakeup paths when the paths are created. This is accomplished, by noting that the end file descriptor points that are found during the loop detection pass (from the newly added link), are actually the sources for wakeup events. I keep a list of these file descriptors and limit the number and length of these paths that emanate from these 'source file descriptors'. In the current implemetation I allow 1000 paths of length 1, 500 of length 2, 100 of length 3, 50 of length 4 and 10 of length 5. Note that it is sufficient to check the 'source file descriptors' reachable from the newly added link, since no other 'source file descriptors' will have newly added links. This allows us to check only the wakeup paths that may have gotten too long, and not re-check all possible wakeup paths on the system. In terms of the path limit selection, I think its first worth noting that the most common case for epoll, is probably the model where you have 1 epoll file descriptor that is monitoring n number of 'source file descriptors'. In this case, each 'source file descriptor' has a 1 path of length 1. Thus, I believe that the limits I'm proposing are quite reasonable and in fact may be too generous. Thus, I'm hoping that the proposed limits will not prevent any workloads that currently work to fail. In terms of locking, I have extended the use of the 'epmutex' to all epoll_ctl add and remove operations. Currently its only used in a subset of the add paths. I need to hold the epmutex, so that we can correctly traverse a coherent graph, to check the number of paths. I believe that this additional locking is probably ok, since its in the setup/teardown paths, and doesn't affect the running paths, but it certainly is going to add some extra overhead. Also, worth noting is that the epmuex was recently added to the ep_ctl add operations in the initial path loop detection code using the argument that it was not on a critical path. Another thing to note here, is the length of epoll chains that is allowed. Currently, eventpoll.c defines: /* Maximum number of nesting allowed inside epoll sets */ #define EP_MAX_NESTS 4 This basically means that I am limited to a graph depth of 5 (EP_MAX_NESTS + 1). However, this limit is currently only enforced during the loop check detection code, and only when the epoll file descriptors are added in a certain order. Thus, this limit is currently easily bypassed. The newly added check for wakeup paths, stricly limits the wakeup paths to a length of 5, regardless of the order in which ep's are linked together. Thus, a side-effect of the new code is a more consistent enforcement of the graph depth. Thus far, I've tested this, using the sample programs previously mentioned, which now either return quickly or return -EINVAL. I've also testing using the piptest.c epoll tester, which showed no difference in performance. I've also created a number of different epoll networks and tested that they behave as expectded. I believe this solves the original diabolical test cases, while still preserving the sane epoll nesting.

However, this limit is currently only enforced during the loop check detection code, and only when the epoll file descriptors are added in a certain order. Thus, this limit is currently easily bypassed. The newly added check for wakeup paths, stricly limits the wakeup paths to a length of 5, regardless of the order in which ep's are linked together.

epoll: optimize EPOLL_CTL_DEL using rcu Nathan Zimmer found that once we get over 10+ cpus, the scalability of SPECjbb falls over due to the contention on the global 'epmutex', which is taken in on EPOLL_CTL_ADD and EPOLL_CTL_DEL operations. Patch #1 removes the 'epmutex' lock completely from the EPOLL_CTL_DEL path by using rcu to guard against any concurrent traversals. Patch #2 remove the 'epmutex' lock from EPOLL_CTL_ADD operations for simple topologies. IE when adding a link from an epoll file descriptor to a wakeup source, where the epoll file descriptor is not nested. This patch (of 2): Optimize EPOLL_CTL_DEL such that it does not require the 'epmutex' by converting the file->f_ep_links list into an rcu one. In this way, we can traverse the epoll network on the add path in parallel with deletes. Since deletes can't create loops or worse wakeup paths, this is safe. This patch in combination with the patch "epoll: Do not take global 'epmutex' for simple topologies", shows a dramatic performance improvement in scalability for SPECjbb.

epoll: limit paths The current epoll code can be tickled to run basically indefinitely in both loop detection path check (on ep_insert()), and in the wakeup paths. The programs that tickle this behavior set up deeply linked networks of epoll file descriptors that cause the epoll algorithms to traverse them indefinitely. A couple of these sample programs have been previously posted in this thread: https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/2/25/297. To fix the loop detection path check algorithms, I simply keep track of the epoll nodes that have been already visited. Thus, the loop detection becomes proportional to the number of epoll file descriptor and links. This dramatically decreases the run-time of the loop check algorithm. In one diabolical case I tried it reduced the run-time from 15 mintues (all in kernel time) to .3 seconds. Fixing the wakeup paths could be done at wakeup time in a similar manner by keeping track of nodes that have already been visited, but the complexity is harder, since there can be multiple wakeups on different cpus...Thus, I've opted to limit the number of possible wakeup paths when the paths are created. This is accomplished, by noting that the end file descriptor points that are found during the loop detection pass (from the newly added link), are actually the sources for wakeup events. I keep a list of these file descriptors and limit the number and length of these paths that emanate from these 'source file descriptors'. In the current implemetation I allow 1000 paths of length 1, 500 of length 2, 100 of length 3, 50 of length 4 and 10 of length 5. Note that it is sufficient to check the 'source file descriptors' reachable from the newly added link, since no other 'source file descriptors' will have newly added links. This allows us to check only the wakeup paths that may have gotten too long, and not re-check all possible wakeup paths on the system. In terms of the path limit selection, I think its first worth noting that the most common case for epoll, is probably the model where you have 1 epoll file descriptor that is monitoring n number of 'source file descriptors'. In this case, each 'source file descriptor' has a 1 path of length 1. Thus, I believe that the limits I'm proposing are quite reasonable and in fact may be too generous. Thus, I'm hoping that the proposed limits will not prevent any workloads that currently work to fail. In terms of locking, I have extended the use of the 'epmutex' to all epoll_ctl add and remove operations. Currently its only used in a subset of the add paths. I need to hold the epmutex, so that we can correctly traverse a coherent graph, to check the number of paths. I believe that this additional locking is probably ok, since its in the setup/teardown paths, and doesn't affect the running paths, but it certainly is going to add some extra overhead. Also, worth noting is that the epmuex was recently added to the ep_ctl add operations in the initial path loop detection code using the argument that it was not on a critical path.

epoll: introduce resource usage limits It has been thought that the per-user file descriptors limit would also limit the resources that a normal user can request via the epoll interface. Vegard Nossum reported a very simple program (a modified version attached) that can make a normal user to request a pretty large amount of kernel memory, well within the its maximum number of fds. To solve such problem, default limits are now imposed, and /proc based configuration has been introduced. A new directory has been created, named /proc/sys/fs/epoll/ and inside there, there are two configuration points: max_user_instances = Maximum number of devices - per user max_user_watches = Maximum number of "watched" fds - per user The current default for "max_user_watches" limits the memory used by epoll to store "watches", to 1/32 of the amount of the low RAM. As example, a 256MB 32bit machine, will have "max_user_watches" set to roughly 90000. That should be enough to not break existing heavy epoll users. The default value for "max_user_instances" is set to 128, that should be enough too. This also changes the userspace, because a new error code can now come out from EPOLL_CTL_ADD (-ENOSPC). The EMFILE from epoll_create() was already listed, so that should be ok.

epoll: remove ep_call_nested() from ep_eventpoll_poll() The use of ep_call_nested() in ep_eventpoll_poll(), which is the .poll routine for an epoll fd, is used to prevent excessively deep epoll nesting, and to prevent circular paths. However, we are already preventing these conditions during EPOLL_CTL_ADD. In terms of too deep epoll chains, we do in fact allow deep nesting of the epoll fds themselves (deeper than EP_MAX_NESTS), however we don't allow more than EP_MAX_NESTS when an epoll file descriptor is actually connected to a wakeup source. Thus, we do not require the use of ep_call_nested(), since ep_eventpoll_poll(), which is called via ep_scan_ready_list() only continues nesting if there are events available. Since ep_call_nested() is implemented using a global lock, applications that make use of nested epoll can see large performance improvements with this change.

epoll: limit paths The current epoll code can be tickled to run basically indefinitely in both loop detection path check (on ep_insert()), and in the wakeup paths. The programs that tickle this behavior set up deeply linked networks of epoll file descriptors that cause the epoll algorithms to traverse them indefinitely. A couple of these sample programs have been previously posted in this thread: https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/2/25/297. To fix the loop detection path check algorithms, I simply keep track of the epoll nodes that have been already visited. Thus, the loop detection becomes proportional to the number of epoll file descriptor and links. This dramatically decreases the run-time of the loop check algorithm. In one diabolical case I tried it reduced the run-time from 15 mintues (all in kernel time) to .3 seconds. Fixing the wakeup paths could be done at wakeup time in a similar manner by keeping track of nodes that have already been visited, but the complexity is harder, since there can be multiple wakeups on different cpus...Thus, I've opted to limit the number of possible wakeup paths when the paths are created. This is accomplished, by noting that the end file descriptor points that are found during the loop detection pass (from the newly added link), are actually the sources for wakeup events. I keep a list of these file descriptors and limit the number and length of these paths that emanate from these 'source file descriptors'. In the current implemetation I allow 1000 paths of length 1, 500 of length 2, 100 of length 3, 50 of length 4 and 10 of length 5. Note that it is sufficient to check the 'source file descriptors' reachable from the newly added link, since no other 'source file descriptors' will have newly added links. This allows us to check only the wakeup paths that may have gotten too long, and not re-check all possible wakeup paths on the system. In terms of the path limit selection, I think its first worth noting that the most common case for epoll, is probably the model where you have 1 epoll file descriptor that is monitoring n number of 'source file descriptors'. In this case, each 'source file descriptor' has a 1 path of length 1. Thus, I believe that the limits I'm proposing are quite reasonable and in fact may be too generous. Thus, I'm hoping that the proposed limits will not prevent any workloads that currently work to fail. In terms of locking, I have extended the use of the 'epmutex' to all epoll_ctl add and remove operations. Currently its only used in a subset of the add paths. I need to hold the epmutex, so that we can correctly traverse a coherent graph, to check the number of paths. I believe that this additional locking is probably ok, since its in the setup/teardown paths, and doesn't affect the running paths, but it certainly is going to add some extra overhead. Also, worth noting is that the epmuex was recently added to the ep_ctl add operations in the initial path loop detection code using the argument that it was not on a critical path. Another thing to note here, is the length of epoll chains that is allowed. Currently, eventpoll.c defines: /* Maximum number of nesting allowed inside epoll sets */ #define EP_MAX_NESTS 4 This basically means that I am limited to a graph depth of 5 (EP_MAX_NESTS + 1). However, this limit is currently only enforced during the loop check detection code, and only when the epoll file descriptors are added in a certain order. Thus, this limit is currently easily bypassed. The newly added check for wakeup paths, stricly limits the wakeup paths to a length of 5, regardless of the order in which ep's are linked together. Thus, a side-effect of the new code is a more consistent enforcement of the graph depth. Thus far, I've tested this, using the sample programs previously mentioned, which now either return quickly or return -EINVAL. I've also testing using the piptest.c epoll tester, which showed no difference in performance. I've also created a number of different epoll networks and tested that they behave as expectded. I believe this solves the original diabolical test cases, while still preserving the sane epoll nesting.

epoll: introduce resource usage limits It has been thought that the per-user file descriptors limit would also limit the resources that a normal user can request via the epoll interface. Vegard Nossum reported a very simple program (a modified version attached) that can make a normal user to request a pretty large amount of kernel memory, well within the its maximum number of fds. To solve such problem, default limits are now imposed, and /proc based configuration has been introduced. A new directory has been created, named /proc/sys/fs/epoll/ and inside there, there are two configuration points: max_user_instances = Maximum number of devices - per user max_user_watches = Maximum number of "watched" fds - per user The current default for "max_user_watches" limits the memory used by epoll to store "watches", to 1/32 of the amount of the low RAM. As example, a 256MB 32bit machine, will have "max_user_watches" set to roughly 90000. That should be enough to not break existing heavy epoll users. The default value for "max_user_instances" is set to 128, that should be enough too. This also changes the userspace, because a new error code can now come out from EPOLL_CTL_ADD (-ENOSPC). The EMFILE from epoll_create() was already listed, so that should be ok.

epoll: fix epoll's own poll Fix a bug inside the epoll's f_op->poll() code, that returns POLLIN even though there are no actual ready monitored fds. The bug shows up if you add an epoll fd inside another fd container (poll, select, epoll). The problem is that callback-based wake ups used by epoll does not carry (patches will follow, to fix this) any information about the events that actually happened. So the callback code, since it can't call the file* ->poll() inside the callback, chains the file* into a ready-list. So, suppose you added an fd with EPOLLOUT only, and some data shows up on the fd, the file* mapped by the fd will be added into the ready-list (via wakeup callback). During normal epoll_wait() use, this condition is sorted out at the time we're actually able to call the file*'s f_op->poll(). Inside the old epoll's f_op->poll() though, only a quick check !list_empty(ready-list) was performed, and this could have led to reporting POLLIN even though no ready fds would show up at a following epoll_wait(). In order to correctly report the ready status for an epoll fd, the ready-list must be checked to see if any really available fd+event would be ready in a following epoll_wait(). Operation (calling f_op->poll() from inside f_op->poll()) that, like wake ups, must be handled with care because of the fact that epoll fds can be added to other epoll fds.

epoll: optimize EPOLL_CTL_DEL using rcu Nathan Zimmer found that once we get over 10+ cpus, the scalability of SPECjbb falls over due to the contention on the global 'epmutex', which is taken in on EPOLL_CTL_ADD and EPOLL_CTL_DEL operations. Patch #1 removes the 'epmutex' lock completely from the EPOLL_CTL_DEL path by using rcu to guard against any concurrent traversals. Patch #2 remove the 'epmutex' lock from EPOLL_CTL_ADD operations for simple topologies. IE when adding a link from an epoll file descriptor to a wakeup source, where the epoll file descriptor is not nested. This patch (of 2): Optimize EPOLL_CTL_DEL such that it does not require the 'epmutex' by converting the file->f_ep_links list into an rcu one. In this way, we can traverse the epoll network on the add path in parallel with deletes. Since deletes can't create loops or worse wakeup paths, this is safe. This patch in combination with the patch "epoll: Do not take global 'epmutex' for simple topologies", shows a dramatic performance improvement in scalability for SPECjbb.

This allows us to check only the wakeup paths that may have gotten too long, and not re-check all possible wakeup paths on the system. In terms of the path limit selection, I think its first worth noting that the most common case for epoll, is probably the model where you have 1 epoll file descriptor that is monitoring n number of 'source file descriptors'. In this case, each 'source file descriptor' has a 1 path of length 1. Thus, I believe that the limits I'm proposing are quite reasonable and in fact may be too generous. Thus, I'm hoping that the proposed limits will not prevent any workloads that currently work to fail. In terms of locking, I have extended the use of the 'epmutex' to all epoll_ctl add and remove operations. Currently its only used in a subset of the add paths. I need to hold the epmutex, so that we can correctly traverse a coherent graph, to check the number of paths. I believe that this additional locking is probably ok, since its in the setup/teardown paths, and doesn't affect the running paths, but it certainly is going to add some extra overhead. Also, worth noting is that the epmuex was recently added to the ep_ctl add operations in the initial path loop detection code using the argument that it was not on a critical path. Another thing to note here, is the length of epoll chains that is allowed. Currently, eventpoll.c defines: /* Maximum number of nesting allowed inside epoll sets */ #define EP_MAX_NESTS 4 This basically means that I am limited to a graph depth of 5 (EP_MAX_NESTS + 1). However, this limit is currently only enforced during the loop check detection code, and only when the epoll file descriptors are added in a certain order. Thus, this limit is currently easily bypassed. The newly added check for wakeup paths, stricly limits the wakeup paths to a length of 5, regardless of the order in which ep's are linked together. Thus, a side-effect of the new code is a more consistent enforcement of the graph depth. Thus far, I've tested this, using the sample programs previously mentioned, which now either return quickly or return -EINVAL. I've also testing using the piptest.c epoll tester, which showed no difference in performance. I've also created a number of different epoll networks and tested that they behave as expectded. I believe this solves the original diabolical test cases, while still preserving the sane epoll nesting.

epoll: optimizations and cleanups Epoll is doing multiple passes over the ready set at the moment, because of the constraints over the f_op->poll() call. Looking at the code again, I noticed that we already hold the epoll semaphore in read, and this (together with other locking conditions that hold while doing an epoll_wait()) can lead to a smarter way [1] to "ship" events to userspace (in a single pass). This is a stress application that can be used to test the new code. It spwans multiple thread and call epoll_wait() and epoll_ctl() from many threads. Stress tested on my dual Opteron 254 w/out any problems. http://www.xmailserver.org/totalmess.c This is not a benchmark, just something that tries to stress and exploit possible problems with the new code. Also, I made a stupid micro-benchmark: http://www.xmailserver.org/epwbench.c [1] Considering that epoll must be thread-safe, there are five ways we can be hit during an epoll_wait() transfer loop (ep_send_events()): 1) The epoll fd going away and calling ep_free This just can't happen, since we did an fget() in sys_epoll_wait 2) An epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DEL) This can't happen because epoll_ctl() gets ep->sem in write, and we're holding it in read during ep_send_events() 3) An fd stored inside the epoll fd going away This can't happen because in eventpoll_release_file() we get ep->sem in write, and we're holding it in read during ep_send_events() 4) Another epoll_wait() happening on another thread They both can be inside ep_send_events() at the same time, we get (splice) the ready-list under the spinlock, so each one will get its own ready list. Note that an fd cannot be at the same time inside more than one ready list, because ep_poll_callback() will not re-queue it if it sees it already linked: if (ep_is_linked(&epi->rdllink)) goto is_linked; Another case that can happen, is two concurrent epoll_wait(), coming in with a userspace event buffer of size, say, ten. Suppose there are 50 event ready in the list. The first epoll_wait() will "steal" the whole list, while the second, seeing no events, will go to sleep. But at the end of ep_send_events() in the first epoll_wait(), we will re-inject surplus ready fds, and we will trigger the proper wake_up to the second epoll_wait(). 5) ep_poll_callback() hitting us asyncronously This is the tricky part. As I said above, the ep_is_linked() test done inside ep_poll_callback(), will guarantee us that until the item will result linked to a list, ep_poll_callback() will not try to re-queue it again (read, write data on any of its members). When we do a list_del() in ep_send_events(), the item will still satisfy the ep_is_linked() test (whatever data is written in prev/next, it'll never be its own pointer), so ep_poll_callback() will still leave us alone. It's only after the eventual smp_mb()+INIT_LIST_HEAD(&epi->rdllink) that it'll become visible to ep_poll_callback(), but at the point we're already past it.

epoll: introduce resource usage limits It has been thought that the per-user file descriptors limit would also limit the resources that a normal user can request via the epoll interface. Vegard Nossum reported a very simple program (a modified version attached) that can make a normal user to request a pretty large amount of kernel memory, well within the its maximum number of fds. To solve such problem, default limits are now imposed, and /proc based configuration has been introduced. A new directory has been created, named /proc/sys/fs/epoll/ and inside there, there are two configuration points: max_user_instances = Maximum number of devices - per user max_user_watches = Maximum number of "watched" fds - per user The current default for "max_user_watches" limits the memory used by epoll to store "watches", to 1/32 of the amount of the low RAM. As example, a 256MB 32bit machine, will have "max_user_watches" set to roughly 90000. That should be enough to not break existing heavy epoll users. The default value for "max_user_instances" is set to 128, that should be enough too. This also changes the userspace, because a new error code can now come out from EPOLL_CTL_ADD (-ENOSPC). The EMFILE from epoll_create() was already listed, so that should be ok.

poll: add poll_requested_events() and poll_does_not_wait() functions In some cases the poll() implementation in a driver has to do different things depending on the events the caller wants to poll for. An example is when a driver needs to start a DMA engine if the caller polls for POLLIN, but doesn't want to do that if POLLIN is not requested but instead only POLLOUT or POLLPRI is requested. This is something that can happen in the video4linux subsystem among others. Unfortunately, the current epoll/poll/select implementation doesn't provide that information reliably. The poll_table_struct does have it: it has a key field with the event mask. But once a poll() call matches one or more bits of that mask any following poll() calls are passed a NULL poll_table pointer. Also, the eventpoll implementation always left the key field at ~0 instead of using the requested events mask. This was changed in eventpoll.c so the key field now contains the actual events that should be polled for as set by the caller. The solution to the NULL poll_table pointer is to set the qproc field to NULL in poll_table once poll() matches the events, not the poll_table pointer itself. That way drivers can obtain the mask through a new poll_requested_events inline. The poll_table_struct can still be NULL since some kernel code calls it internally (netfs_state_poll() in ./drivers/staging/pohmelfs/netfs.h). In that case poll_requested_events() returns ~0 (i.e. all events). Very rarely drivers might want to know whether poll_wait will actually wait. If another earlier file descriptor in the set already matched the events the caller wanted to wait for, then the kernel will return from the select() call without waiting. This might be useful information in order to avoid doing expensive work. A new helper function poll_does_not_wait() is added that drivers can use to detect this situation. This is now used in sock_poll_wait() in include/net/sock.h. This was the only place in the kernel that needed this information. Drivers should no longer access any of the poll_table internals, but use the poll_requested_events() and poll_does_not_wait() access functions instead. In order to enforce that the poll_table fields are now prepended with an underscore and a comment was added warning against using them directly. This required a change in unix_dgram_poll() in unix/af_unix.c which used the key field to get the requested events. It's been replaced by a call to poll_requested_events(). For qproc it was especially important to change its name since the behavior of that field changes with this patch since this function pointer can now be NULL when that wasn't possible in the past. Any driver accessing the qproc or key fields directly will now fail to compile. Some notes regarding the correctness of this patch: the driver's poll() function is called with a 'struct poll_table_struct *wait' argument. This pointer may or may not be NULL, drivers can never rely on it being one or the other as that depends on whether or not an earlier file descriptor in the select()'s fdset matched the requested events. There are only three things a driver can do with the wait argument: 1) obtain the key field: events = wait ? wait->key : ~0; This will still work although it should be replaced with the new poll_requested_events() function (which does exactly the same). This will now even work better, since wait is no longer set to NULL unnecessarily. 2) use the qproc callback. This could be deadly since qproc can now be NULL. Renaming qproc should prevent this from happening. There are no kernel drivers that actually access this callback directly, BTW. 3) test whether wait == NULL to determine whether poll would return without waiting. This is no longer sufficient as the correct test is now wait == NULL || wait->_qproc == NULL. However, the worst that can happen here is a slight performance hit in the case where wait != NULL and wait->_qproc == NULL. In that case the driver will assume that poll_wait() will actually add the fd to the set of waiting file descriptors. Of course, poll_wait() will not do that since it tests for wait->_qproc. This will not break anything, though. There is only one place in the whole kernel where this happens (sock_poll_wait() in include/net/sock.h) and that code will be replaced by a call to poll_does_not_wait() in the next patch. Note that even if wait->_qproc != NULL drivers cannot rely on poll_wait() actually waiting. The next file descriptor from the set might match the event mask and thus any possible waits will never happen.

epoll: fix epoll's own poll Fix a bug inside the epoll's f_op->poll() code, that returns POLLIN even though there are no actual ready monitored fds. The bug shows up if you add an epoll fd inside another fd container (poll, select, epoll). The problem is that callback-based wake ups used by epoll does not carry (patches will follow, to fix this) any information about the events that actually happened. So the callback code, since it can't call the file* ->poll() inside the callback, chains the file* into a ready-list. So, suppose you added an fd with EPOLLOUT only, and some data shows up on the fd, the file* mapped by the fd will be added into the ready-list (via wakeup callback). During normal epoll_wait() use, this condition is sorted out at the time we're actually able to call the file*'s f_op->poll(). Inside the old epoll's f_op->poll() though, only a quick check !list_empty(ready-list) was performed, and this could have led to reporting POLLIN even though no ready fds would show up at a following epoll_wait(). In order to correctly report the ready status for an epoll fd, the ready-list must be checked to see if any really available fd+event would be ready in a following epoll_wait(). Operation (calling f_op->poll() from inside f_op->poll()) that, like wake ups, must be handled with care because of the fact that epoll fds can be added to other epoll fds.

epoll: fix epoll's own poll Fix a bug inside the epoll's f_op->poll() code, that returns POLLIN even though there are no actual ready monitored fds. The bug shows up if you add an epoll fd inside another fd container (poll, select, epoll). The problem is that callback-based wake ups used by epoll does not carry (patches will follow, to fix this) any information about the events that actually happened. So the callback code, since it can't call the file* ->poll() inside the callback, chains the file* into a ready-list. So, suppose you added an fd with EPOLLOUT only, and some data shows up on the fd, the file* mapped by the fd will be added into the ready-list (via wakeup callback). During normal epoll_wait() use, this condition is sorted out at the time we're actually able to call the file*'s f_op->poll(). Inside the old epoll's f_op->poll() though, only a quick check !list_empty(ready-list) was performed, and this could have led to reporting POLLIN even though no ready fds would show up at a following epoll_wait(). In order to correctly report the ready status for an epoll fd, the ready-list must be checked to see if any really available fd+event would be ready in a following epoll_wait(). Operation (calling f_op->poll() from inside f_op->poll()) that, like wake ups, must be handled with care because of the fact that epoll fds can be added to other epoll fds.

poll: add poll_requested_events() and poll_does_not_wait() functions In some cases the poll() implementation in a driver has to do different things depending on the events the caller wants to poll for. An example is when a driver needs to start a DMA engine if the caller polls for POLLIN, but doesn't want to do that if POLLIN is not requested but instead only POLLOUT or POLLPRI is requested. This is something that can happen in the video4linux subsystem among others. Unfortunately, the current epoll/poll/select implementation doesn't provide that information reliably. The poll_table_struct does have it: it has a key field with the event mask. But once a poll() call matches one or more bits of that mask any following poll() calls are passed a NULL poll_table pointer. Also, the eventpoll implementation always left the key field at ~0 instead of using the requested events mask. This was changed in eventpoll.c so the key field now contains the actual events that should be polled for as set by the caller. The solution to the NULL poll_table pointer is to set the qproc field to NULL in poll_table once poll() matches the events, not the poll_table pointer itself. That way drivers can obtain the mask through a new poll_requested_events inline. The poll_table_struct can still be NULL since some kernel code calls it internally (netfs_state_poll() in ./drivers/staging/pohmelfs/netfs.h). In that case poll_requested_events() returns ~0 (i.e. all events). Very rarely drivers might want to know whether poll_wait will actually wait. If another earlier file descriptor in the set already matched the events the caller wanted to wait for, then the kernel will return from the select() call without waiting. This might be useful information in order to avoid doing expensive work. A new helper function poll_does_not_wait() is added that drivers can use to detect this situation. This is now used in sock_poll_wait() in include/net/sock.h. This was the only place in the kernel that needed this information. Drivers should no longer access any of the poll_table internals, but use the poll_requested_events() and poll_does_not_wait() access functions instead. In order to enforce that the poll_table fields are now prepended with an underscore and a comment was added warning against using them directly. This required a change in unix_dgram_poll() in unix/af_unix.c which used the key field to get the requested events. It's been replaced by a call to poll_requested_events(). For qproc it was especially important to change its name since the behavior of that field changes with this patch since this function pointer can now be NULL when that wasn't possible in the past. Any driver accessing the qproc or key fields directly will now fail to compile. Some notes regarding the correctness of this patch: the driver's poll() function is called with a 'struct poll_table_struct *wait' argument. This pointer may or may not be NULL, drivers can never rely on it being one or the other as that depends on whether or not an earlier file descriptor in the select()'s fdset matched the requested events. There are only three things a driver can do with the wait argument: 1) obtain the key field: events = wait ? wait->key : ~0; This will still work although it should be replaced with the new poll_requested_events() function (which does exactly the same). This will now even work better, since wait is no longer set to NULL unnecessarily. 2) use the qproc callback. This could be deadly since qproc can now be NULL. Renaming qproc should prevent this from happening. There are no kernel drivers that actually access this callback directly, BTW. 3) test whether wait == NULL to determine whether poll would return without waiting. This is no longer sufficient as the correct test is now wait == NULL || wait->_qproc == NULL. However, the worst that can happen here is a slight performance hit in the case where wait != NULL and wait->_qproc == NULL. In that case the driver will assume that poll_wait() will actually add the fd to the set of waiting file descriptors. Of course, poll_wait() will not do that since it tests for wait->_qproc. This will not break anything, though. There is only one place in the whole kernel where this happens (sock_poll_wait() in include/net/sock.h) and that code will be replaced by a call to poll_does_not_wait() in the next patch. Note that even if wait->_qproc != NULL drivers cannot rely on poll_wait() actually waiting. The next file descriptor from the set might match the event mask and thus any possible waits will never happen.

epoll: fix epoll's own poll Fix a bug inside the epoll's f_op->poll() code, that returns POLLIN even though there are no actual ready monitored fds. The bug shows up if you add an epoll fd inside another fd container (poll, select, epoll). The problem is that callback-based wake ups used by epoll does not carry (patches will follow, to fix this) any information about the events that actually happened. So the callback code, since it can't call the file* ->poll() inside the callback, chains the file* into a ready-list. So, suppose you added an fd with EPOLLOUT only, and some data shows up on the fd, the file* mapped by the fd will be added into the ready-list (via wakeup callback). During normal epoll_wait() use, this condition is sorted out at the time we're actually able to call the file*'s f_op->poll(). Inside the old epoll's f_op->poll() though, only a quick check !list_empty(ready-list) was performed, and this could have led to reporting POLLIN even though no ready fds would show up at a following epoll_wait(). In order to correctly report the ready status for an epoll fd, the ready-list must be checked to see if any really available fd+event would be ready in a following epoll_wait(). Operation (calling f_op->poll() from inside f_op->poll()) that, like wake ups, must be handled with care because of the fact that epoll fds can be added to other epoll fds.

epoll: remove ep_call_nested() from ep_eventpoll_poll() The use of ep_call_nested() in ep_eventpoll_poll(), which is the .poll routine for an epoll fd, is used to prevent excessively deep epoll nesting, and to prevent circular paths. However, we are already preventing these conditions during EPOLL_CTL_ADD. In terms of too deep epoll chains, we do in fact allow deep nesting of the epoll fds themselves (deeper than EP_MAX_NESTS), however we don't allow more than EP_MAX_NESTS when an epoll file descriptor is actually connected to a wakeup source. Thus, we do not require the use of ep_call_nested(), since ep_eventpoll_poll(), which is called via ep_scan_ready_list() only continues nesting if there are events available. Since ep_call_nested() is implemented using a global lock, applications that make use of nested epoll can see large performance improvements with this change. Davidlohr said: : Improvements are quite obscene actually, such as for the following : epoll_wait() benchmark with 2 level nesting on a 80 core IvyBridge: : : ncpus vanilla dirty delta : 1 2447092 3028315 +23.75% : 4 231265 2986954 +1191.57% : 8 121631 2898796 +2283.27% : 16 59749 2902056 +4757.07% : 32 26837 2326314 +8568.30% : 64 12926 1341281 +10276.61% : : (http://linux-scalability.org/epoll/epoll-test.c) Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1509430214-5599-1-git-send-email-jbaron@akamai.com Signed-off-by: Jason Baron <jbaron@akamai.com> Cc: Davidlohr Bueso <dave@stgolabs.net> Cc: Alexander Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Cc: Salman Qazi <sqazi@google.com> Cc: Hou Tao <houtao1@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

epoll: fix epoll's own poll Fix a bug inside the epoll's f_op->poll() code, that returns POLLIN even though there are no actual ready monitored fds. The bug shows up if you add an epoll fd inside another fd container (poll, select, epoll). The problem is that callback-based wake ups used by epoll does not carry (patches will follow, to fix this) any information about the events that actually happened. So the callback code, since it can't call the file* ->poll() inside the callback, chains the file* into a ready-list. So, suppose you added an fd with EPOLLOUT only, and some data shows up on the fd, the file* mapped by the fd will be added into the ready-list (via wakeup callback). During normal epoll_wait() use, this condition is sorted out at the time we're actually able to call the file*'s f_op->poll(). Inside the old epoll's f_op->poll() though, only a quick check !list_empty(ready-list) was performed, and this could have led to reporting POLLIN even though no ready fds would show up at a following epoll_wait(). In order to correctly report the ready status for an epoll fd, the ready-list must be checked to see if any really available fd+event would be ready in a following epoll_wait(). Operation (calling f_op->poll() from inside f_op->poll()) that, like wake ups, must be handled with care because of the fact that epoll fds can be added to other epoll fds.

epoll: fix epoll's own poll Fix a bug inside the epoll's f_op->poll() code, that returns POLLIN even though there are no actual ready monitored fds. The bug shows up if you add an epoll fd inside another fd container (poll, select, epoll). The problem is that callback-based wake ups used by epoll does not carry (patches will follow, to fix this) any information about the events that actually happened. So the callback code, since it can't call the file* ->poll() inside the callback, chains the file* into a ready-list. So, suppose you added an fd with EPOLLOUT only, and some data shows up on the fd, the file* mapped by the fd will be added into the ready-list (via wakeup callback). During normal epoll_wait() use, this condition is sorted out at the time we're actually able to call the file*'s f_op->poll(). Inside the old epoll's f_op->poll() though, only a quick check !list_empty(ready-list) was performed, and this could have led to reporting POLLIN even though no ready fds would show up at a following epoll_wait(). In order to correctly report the ready status for an epoll fd, the ready-list must be checked to see if any really available fd+event would be ready in a following epoll_wait(). Operation (calling f_op->poll() from inside f_op->poll()) that, like wake ups, must be handled with care because of the fact that epoll fds can be added to other epoll fds.

epoll: fix epoll's own poll Fix a bug inside the epoll's f_op->poll() code, that returns POLLIN even though there are no actual ready monitored fds. The bug shows up if you add an epoll fd inside another fd container (poll, select, epoll). The problem is that callback-based wake ups used by epoll does not carry (patches will follow, to fix this) any information about the events that actually happened. So the callback code, since it can't call the file* ->poll() inside the callback, chains the file* into a ready-list. So, suppose you added an fd with EPOLLOUT only, and some data shows up on the fd, the file* mapped by the fd will be added into the ready-list (via wakeup callback). During normal epoll_wait() use, this condition is sorted out at the time we're actually able to call the file*'s f_op->poll(). Inside the old epoll's f_op->poll() though, only a quick check !list_empty(ready-list) was performed, and this could have led to reporting POLLIN even though no ready fds would show up at a following epoll_wait(). In order to correctly report the ready status for an epoll fd, the ready-list must be checked to see if any really available fd+event would be ready in a following epoll_wait(). Operation (calling f_op->poll() from inside f_op->poll()) that, like wake ups, must be handled with care because of the fact that epoll fds can be added to other epoll fds.

epoll: optimizations and cleanups Epoll is doing multiple passes over the ready set at the moment, because of the constraints over the f_op->poll() call. Looking at the code again, I noticed that we already hold the epoll semaphore in read, and this (together with other locking conditions that hold while doing an epoll_wait()) can lead to a smarter way [1] to "ship" events to userspace (in a single pass). This is a stress application that can be used to test the new code. It spwans multiple thread and call epoll_wait() and epoll_ctl() from many threads. Stress tested on my dual Opteron 254 w/out any problems. http://www.xmailserver.org/totalmess.c This is not a benchmark, just something that tries to stress and exploit possible problems with the new code. Also, I made a stupid micro-benchmark: http://www.xmailserver.org/epwbench.c [1] Considering that epoll must be thread-safe, there are five ways we can be hit during an epoll_wait() transfer loop (ep_send_events()): 1) The epoll fd going away and calling ep_free This just can't happen, since we did an fget() in sys_epoll_wait 2) An epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DEL) This can't happen because epoll_ctl() gets ep->sem in write, and we're holding it in read during ep_send_events() 3) An fd stored inside the epoll fd going away This can't happen because in eventpoll_release_file() we get ep->sem in write, and we're holding it in read during ep_send_events() 4) Another epoll_wait() happening on another thread They both can be inside ep_send_events() at the same time, we get (splice) the ready-list under the spinlock, so each one will get its own ready list. Note that an fd cannot be at the same time inside more than one ready list, because ep_poll_callback() will not re-queue it if it sees it already linked: if (ep_is_linked(&epi->rdllink)) goto is_linked; Another case that can happen, is two concurrent epoll_wait(), coming in with a userspace event buffer of size, say, ten. Suppose there are 50 event ready in the list. The first epoll_wait() will "steal" the whole list, while the second, seeing no events, will go to sleep. But at the end of ep_send_events() in the first epoll_wait(), we will re-inject surplus ready fds, and we will trigger the proper wake_up to the second epoll_wait(). 5) ep_poll_callback() hitting us asyncronously This is the tricky part. As I said above, the ep_is_linked() test done inside ep_poll_callback(), will guarantee us that until the item will result linked to a list, ep_poll_callback() will not try to re-queue it again (read, write data on any of its members). When we do a list_del() in ep_send_events(), the item will still satisfy the ep_is_linked() test (whatever data is written in prev/next, it'll never be its own pointer), so ep_poll_callback() will still leave us alone. It's only after the eventual smp_mb()+INIT_LIST_HEAD(&epi->rdllink) that it'll become visible to ep_poll_callback(), but at the point we're already past it.

timer: convert timer_slack_ns from unsigned long to u64 This patchset introduces a /proc/<pid>/timerslack_ns interface which would allow controlling processes to be able to set the timerslack value on other processes in order to save power by avoiding wakeups (Something Android currently does via out-of-tree patches). The first patch tries to fix the internal timer_slack_ns usage which was defined as a long, which limits the slack range to ~4 seconds on 32bit systems. It converts it to a u64, which provides the same basically unlimited slack (500 years) on both 32bit and 64bit machines. The second patch introduces the /proc/<pid>/timerslack_ns interface which allows the full 64bit slack range for a task to be read or set on both 32bit and 64bit machines. With these two patches, on a 32bit machine, after setting the slack on bash to 10 seconds: $ time sleep 1 real 0m10.747s user 0m0.001s sys 0m0.005s The first patch is a little ugly, since I had to chase the slack delta arguments through a number of functions converting them to u64s. Let me know if it makes sense to break that up more or not. Other than that things are fairly straightforward. This patch (of 2): The timer_slack_ns value in the task struct is currently a unsigned long. This means that on 32bit applications, the maximum slack is just over 4 seconds. However, on 64bit machines, its much much larger (~500 years). This disparity could make application development a little (as well as the default_slack) to a u64. This means both 32bit and 64bit systems have the same effective internal slack range. Now the existing ABI via PR_GET_TIMERSLACK and PR_SET_TIMERSLACK specify the interface as a unsigned long, so we preserve that limitation on 32bit systems, where SET_TIMERSLACK can only set the slack to a unsigned long value, and GET_TIMERSLACK will return ULONG_MAX if the slack is actually larger then what can be stored by an unsigned long. This patch also modifies hrtimer functions which specified the slack delta as a unsigned long.

epoll: prevent creating circular epoll structures In several places, an epoll fd can call another file's ->f_op->poll() method with ep->mtx held. This is in general unsafe, because that other file could itself be an epoll fd that contains the original epoll fd. The code defends against this possibility in its own ->poll() method using ep_call_nested, but there are several other unsafe calls to ->poll elsewhere that can be made to deadlock. For example, the following simple program causes the call in ep_insert recursively call the original fd's ->poll, leading to deadlock: #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/epoll.h> int main(void) { int e1, e2, p[2]; struct epoll_event evt = { .events = EPOLLIN }; e1 = epoll_create(1); e2 = epoll_create(2); pipe(p); epoll_ctl(e2, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, e1, &evt); epoll_ctl(e1, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, p[0], &evt); write(p[1], p, sizeof p); epoll_ctl(e1, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, e2, &evt); return 0; } On insertion, check whether the inserted file is itself a struct epoll, and if so, do a recursive walk to detect whether inserting this file would create a loop of epoll structures, which could lead to deadlock.

epoll: limit paths The current epoll code can be tickled to run basically indefinitely in both loop detection path check (on ep_insert()), and in the wakeup paths. The programs that tickle this behavior set up deeply linked networks of epoll file descriptors that cause the epoll algorithms to traverse them indefinitely. A couple of these sample programs have been previously posted in this thread: https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/2/25/297. To fix the loop detection path check algorithms, I simply keep track of the epoll nodes that have been already visited. Thus, the loop detection becomes proportional to the number of epoll file descriptor and links. This dramatically decreases the run-time of the loop check algorithm. In one diabolical case I tried it reduced the run-time from 15 mintues (all in kernel time) to .3 seconds. Fixing the wakeup paths could be done at wakeup time in a similar manner by keeping track of nodes that have already been visited, but the complexity is harder, since there can be multiple wakeups on different cpus...Thus, I've opted to limit the number of possible wakeup paths when the paths are created. This is accomplished, by noting that the end file descriptor points that are found during the loop detection pass (from the newly added link), are actually the sources for wakeup events. I keep a list of these file descriptors and limit the number and length of these paths that emanate from these 'source file descriptors'. In the current implemetation I allow 1000 paths of length 1, 500 of length 2, 100 of length 3, 50 of length 4 and 10 of length 5. Note that it is sufficient to check the 'source file descriptors' reachable from the newly added link, since no other 'source file descriptors' will have newly added links. This allows us to check only the wakeup paths that may have gotten too long, and not re-check all possible wakeup paths on the system. In terms of the path limit selection, I think its first worth noting that the most common case for epoll, is probably the model where you have 1 epoll file descriptor that is monitoring n number of 'source file descriptors'. In this case, each 'source file descriptor' has a 1 path of length 1. Thus, I believe that the limits I'm proposing are quite reasonable and in fact may be too generous. Thus, I'm hoping that the proposed limits will not prevent any workloads that currently work to fail. In terms of locking, I have extended the use of the 'epmutex' to all epoll_ctl add and remove operations. Currently its only used in a subset of the add paths. I need to hold the epmutex, so that we can correctly traverse a coherent graph, to check the number of paths. I believe that this additional locking is probably ok, since its in the setup/teardown paths, and doesn't affect the running paths, but it certainly is going to add some extra overhead. Also, worth noting is that the epmuex was recently added to the ep_ctl add operations in the initial path loop detection code using the argument that it was not on a critical path. Another thing to note here, is the length of epoll chains that is allowed. Currently, eventpoll.c defines: /* Maximum number of nesting allowed inside epoll sets */ #define EP_MAX_NESTS 4 This basically means that I am limited to a graph depth of 5 (EP_MAX_NESTS + 1). However, this limit is currently only enforced during the loop check detection code, and only when the epoll file descriptors are added in a certain order. Thus, this limit is currently easily bypassed. The newly added check for wakeup paths, stricly limits the wakeup paths to a length of 5, regardless of the order in which ep's are linked together. Thus, a side-effect of the new code is a more consistent enforcement of the graph depth. Thus far, I've tested this, using the sample programs previously mentioned, which now either return quickly or return -EINVAL. I've also testing using the piptest.c epoll tester, which showed no difference in performance. I've also created a number of different epoll networks and tested that they behave as expectded. I believe this solves the original diabolical test cases, while still preserving the sane epoll nesting.

For example, the following simple program causes the call in ep_insert recursively call the original fd's ->poll, leading to deadlock: #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/epoll.h> int main(void) { int e1, e2, p[2]; struct epoll_event evt = { .events = EPOLLIN }; e1 = epoll_create(1); e2 = epoll_create(2); pipe(p); epoll_ctl(e2, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, e1, &evt); epoll_ctl(e1, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, p[0], &evt); write(p[1], p, sizeof p); epoll_ctl(e1, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, e2, &evt); return 0; } On insertion, check whether the inserted file is itself a struct epoll, and if so, do a recursive walk to detect whether inserting this file would create a loop of epoll structures, which could lead to deadlock.

epoll: limit paths The current epoll code can be tickled to run basically indefinitely in both loop detection path check (on ep_insert()), and in the wakeup paths. The programs that tickle this behavior set up deeply linked networks of epoll file descriptors that cause the epoll algorithms to traverse them indefinitely. A couple of these sample programs have been previously posted in this thread: https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/2/25/297. To fix the loop detection path check algorithms, I simply keep track of the epoll nodes that have been already visited. Thus, the loop detection becomes proportional to the number of epoll file descriptor and links. This dramatically decreases the run-time of the loop check algorithm. In one diabolical case I tried it reduced the run-time from 15 mintues (all in kernel time) to .3 seconds. Fixing the wakeup paths could be done at wakeup time in a similar manner by keeping track of nodes that have already been visited, but the complexity is harder, since there can be multiple wakeups on different cpus...Thus, I've opted to limit the number of possible wakeup paths when the paths are created. This is accomplished, by noting that the end file descriptor points that are found during the loop detection pass (from the newly added link), are actually the sources for wakeup events. I keep a list of these file descriptors and limit the number and length of these paths that emanate from these 'source file descriptors'. In the current implemetation I allow 1000 paths of length 1, 500 of length 2, 100 of length 3, 50 of length 4 and 10 of length 5. Note that it is sufficient to check the 'source file descriptors' reachable from the newly added link, since no other 'source file descriptors' will have newly added links. This allows us to check only the wakeup paths that may have gotten too long, and not re-check all possible wakeup paths on the system. In terms of the path limit selection, I think its first worth noting that the most common case for epoll, is probably the model where you have 1 epoll file descriptor that is monitoring n number of 'source file descriptors'. In this case, each 'source file descriptor' has a 1 path of length 1. Thus, I believe that the limits I'm proposing are quite reasonable and in fact may be too generous. Thus, I'm hoping that the proposed limits will not prevent any workloads that currently work to fail. In terms of locking, I have extended the use of the 'epmutex' to all epoll_ctl add and remove operations. Currently its only used in a subset of the add paths. I need to hold the epmutex, so that we can correctly traverse a coherent graph, to check the number of paths. I believe that this additional locking is probably ok, since its in the setup/teardown paths, and doesn't affect the running paths, but it certainly is going to add some extra overhead. Also, worth noting is that the epmuex was recently added to the ep_ctl add operations in the initial path loop detection code using the argument that it was not on a critical path. Another thing to note here, is the length of epoll chains that is allowed. Currently, eventpoll.c defines: /* Maximum number of nesting allowed inside epoll sets */ #define EP_MAX_NESTS 4 This basically means that I am limited to a graph depth of 5 (EP_MAX_NESTS + 1). However, this limit is currently only enforced during the loop check detection code, and only when the epoll file descriptors are added in a certain order. Thus, this limit is currently easily bypassed. The newly added check for wakeup paths, stricly limits the wakeup paths to a length of 5, regardless of the order in which ep's are linked together. Thus, a side-effect of the new code is a more consistent enforcement of the graph depth. Thus far, I've tested this, using the sample programs previously mentioned, which now either return quickly or return -EINVAL. I've also testing using the piptest.c epoll tester, which showed no difference in performance. I've also created a number of different epoll networks and tested that they behave as expectded. I believe this solves the original diabolical test cases, while still preserving the sane epoll nesting.

To fix the loop detection path check algorithms, I simply keep track of the epoll nodes that have been already visited. Thus, the loop detection becomes proportional to the number of epoll file descriptor and links. This dramatically decreases the run-time of the loop check algorithm. In one diabolical case I tried it reduced the run-time from 15 mintues (all in kernel time) to .3 seconds. Fixing the wakeup paths could be done at wakeup time in a similar manner by keeping track of nodes that have already been visited, but the complexity is harder, since there can be multiple wakeups on different cpus...Thus, I've opted to limit the number of possible wakeup paths when the paths are created. This is accomplished, by noting that the end file descriptor points that are found during the loop detection pass (from the newly added link), are actually the sources for wakeup events. I keep a list of these file descriptors and limit the number and length of these paths that emanate from these 'source file descriptors'. In the current implemetation I allow 1000 paths of length 1, 500 of length 2, 100 of length 3, 50 of length 4 and 10 of length 5. Note that it is sufficient to check the 'source file descriptors' reachable from the newly added link, since no other 'source file descriptors' will have newly added links. This allows us to check only the wakeup paths that may have gotten too long, and not re-check all possible wakeup paths on the system. In terms of the path limit selection, I think its first worth noting that the most common case for epoll, is probably the model where you have 1 epoll file descriptor that is monitoring n number of 'source file descriptors'. In this case, each 'source file descriptor' has a 1 path of length 1. Thus, I believe that the limits I'm proposing are quite reasonable and in fact may be too generous. Thus, I'm hoping that the proposed limits will not prevent any workloads that currently work to fail. In terms of locking, I have extended the use of the 'epmutex' to all epoll_ctl add and remove operations. Currently its only used in a subset of the add paths. I need to hold the epmutex, so that we can correctly traverse a coherent graph, to check the number of paths. I believe that this additional locking is probably ok, since its in the setup/teardown paths, and doesn't affect the running paths, but it certainly is going to add some extra overhead. Also, worth noting is that the epmuex was recently added to the ep_ctl add operations in the initial path loop detection code using the argument that it was not on a critical path. Another thing to note here, is the length of epoll chains that is allowed. Currently, eventpoll.c defines: /* Maximum number of nesting allowed inside epoll sets */ #define EP_MAX_NESTS 4 This basically means that I am limited to a graph depth of 5 (EP_MAX_NESTS + 1). However, this limit is currently only enforced during the loop check detection code, and only when the epoll file descriptors are added in a certain order. Thus, this limit is currently easily bypassed. The newly added check for wakeup paths, stricly limits the wakeup paths to a length of 5, regardless of the order in which ep's are linked together. Thus, a side-effect of the new code is a more consistent enforcement of the graph depth. Thus far, I've tested this, using the sample programs previously mentioned, which now either return quickly or return -EINVAL. I've also testing using the piptest.c epoll tester, which showed no difference in performance. I've also created a number of different epoll networks and tested that they behave as expectded. I believe this solves the original diabolical test cases, while still preserving the sane epoll nesting.

epoll: do not take global 'epmutex' for simple topologies When calling EPOLL_CTL_ADD for an epoll file descriptor that is attached directly to a wakeup source, we do not need to take the global 'epmutex', unless the epoll file descriptor is nested. The purpose of taking the 'epmutex' on add is to prevent complex topologies such as loops and deep wakeup paths from forming in parallel through multiple EPOLL_CTL_ADD operations. However, for the simple case of an epoll file descriptor attached directly to a wakeup source (with no nesting), we do not need to hold the 'epmutex'. This patch along with 'epoll: optimize EPOLL_CTL_DEL using rcu' improves scalability on larger systems. Quoting Nathan Zimmer's mail on SPECjbb performance: "On the 16 socket run the performance went from 35k jOPS to 125k jOPS.

This produces unexpected messages in the audit log, such as (on a system running SELinux): type=AVC msg=audit(1408212798.866:410): avc: denied { block_suspend } for pid=7754 comm="dbus-daemon" capability=36 scontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t tcontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t tclass=capability2 permissive=1 type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1408212798.866:410): arch=c000003e syscall=233 success=yes exit=0 a0=3 a1=2 a2=9 a3=7fffd4d66ec0 items=0 ppid=1 pid=7754 auid=1000 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=(none) ses=3 comm="dbus-daemon" exe="/usr/bin/dbus-daemon" subj=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t key=(null) ("arch=c000003e syscall=233 a1=2" means "epoll_ctl(op=EPOLL_CTL_DEL)") Remove use of epds in epoll_ctl when op == EPOLL_CTL_DEL.

epoll: add EPOLLEXCLUSIVE flag Currently, epoll file descriptors or epfds (the fd returned from epoll_create[1]()) that are added to a shared wakeup source are always added in a non-exclusive manner. This means that when we have multiple epfds attached to a shared fd source they are all woken up. This creates thundering herd type behavior. Introduce a new 'EPOLLEXCLUSIVE' flag that can be passed as part of the 'event' argument during an epoll_ctl() EPOLL_CTL_ADD operation. This new flag allows for exclusive wakeups when there are multiple epfds attached to a shared fd event source. The implementation walks the list of exclusive waiters, and queues an event to each epfd, until it finds the first waiter that has threads blocked on it via epoll_wait(). The idea is to search for threads which are idle and ready to process the wakeup events. Thus, we queue an event to at least 1 epfd, but may still potentially queue an event to all epfds that are attached to the shared fd source. Performance testing was done by Madars Vitolins using a modified version of Enduro/X. The use of the 'EPOLLEXCLUSIVE' flag reduce the length of this particular workload from 860s down to 24s. Sample epoll_clt text: EPOLLEXCLUSIVE Sets an exclusive wakeup mode for the epfd file descriptor that is being attached to the target file descriptor, fd. Thus, when an event occurs and multiple epfd file descriptors are attached to the same target file using EPOLLEXCLUSIVE, one or more epfds will receive an event with epoll_wait(2). The default in this scenario (when EPOLLEXCLUSIVE is not set) is for all epfds to receive an event. EPOLLEXCLUSIVE may only be specified with the op EPOLL_CTL_ADD.

epoll: restrict EPOLLEXCLUSIVE to POLLIN and POLLOUT In the current implementation of the EPOLLEXCLUSIVE flag (added for 4.5-rc1), if epoll waiters create different POLL* sets and register them as exclusive against the same target fd, the current implementation will stop waking any further waiters once it finds the first idle waiter. This means that waiters could miss wakeups in certain cases. For example, when we wake up a pipe for reading we do: wake_up_interruptible_sync_poll(&pipe->wait, POLLIN | POLLRDNORM); So if one epoll set or epfd is added to pipe p with POLLIN and a second set epfd2 is added to pipe p with POLLRDNORM, only epfd may receive the wakeup since the current implementation will stop after it finds any intersection of events with a waiter that is blocked in epoll_wait(). We could potentially address this by requiring all epoll waiters that are added to p be required to pass the same set of POLL* events. IE the first EPOLL_CTL_ADD that passes EPOLLEXCLUSIVE establishes the set POLL* flags to be used by any other epfds that are added as EPOLLEXCLUSIVE. However, I think it might be somewhat confusing interface as we would have to reference count the number of users for that set, and so userspace would have to keep track of that count, or we would need a more involved interface. It also adds some shared state that we'd have store somewhere. I don't think anybody will want to bloat __wait_queue_head for this. I think what we could do instead, is to simply restrict EPOLLEXCLUSIVE such that it can only be specified with EPOLLIN and/or EPOLLOUT. So that way if the wakeup includes 'POLLIN' and not 'POLLOUT', we can stop once we hit the first idle waiter that specifies the EPOLLIN bit, since any remaining waiters that only have 'POLLOUT' set wouldn't need to be woken. Likewise, we can do the same thing if 'POLLOUT' is in the wakeup bit set and not 'POLLIN'. If both 'POLLOUT' and 'POLLIN' are set in the wake bit set (there is at least one example of this I saw in fs/pipe.c), then we just wake the entire exclusive list. Having both 'POLLOUT' and 'POLLIN' both set should not be on any performance critical path, so I think that's ok (in fs/pipe.c its in pipe_release()). We also continue to include EPOLLERR and EPOLLHUP by default in any exclusive set. Thus, the user can specify EPOLLERR and/or EPOLLHUP but is not required to do so. Since epoll waiters may be interested in other events as well besides EPOLLIN, EPOLLOUT, EPOLLERR and EPOLLHUP, these can still be added by doing a 'dup' call on the target fd and adding that as one normally would with EPOLL_CTL_ADD. Since I think that the POLLIN and POLLOUT events are what we are interest in balancing, I think that the 'dup' thing could perhaps be added to only one of the waiter threads. However, I think that EPOLLIN, EPOLLOUT, EPOLLERR and EPOLLHUP should be sufficient for the majority of use-cases. Since EPOLLEXCLUSIVE is intended to be used with a target fd shared among multiple epfds, where between 1 and n of the epfds may receive an event, it does not satisfy the semantics of EPOLLONESHOT where only 1 epfd would get an event. Thus, it is not allowed to be specified in conjunction with EPOLLEXCLUSIVE. EPOLL_CTL_MOD is also not allowed if the fd was previously added as EPOLLEXCLUSIVE. It seems with the limited number of flags to not be as interesting, but this could be relaxed at some further point.

epoll: prevent creating circular epoll structures In several places, an epoll fd can call another file's ->f_op->poll() method with ep->mtx held. This is in general unsafe, because that other file could itself be an epoll fd that contains the original epoll fd. The code defends against this possibility in its own ->poll() method using ep_call_nested, but there are several other unsafe calls to ->poll elsewhere that can be made to deadlock. For example, the following simple program causes the call in ep_insert recursively call the original fd's ->poll, leading to deadlock: #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/epoll.h> int main(void) { int e1, e2, p[2]; struct epoll_event evt = { .events = EPOLLIN }; e1 = epoll_create(1); e2 = epoll_create(2); pipe(p); epoll_ctl(e2, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, e1, &evt); epoll_ctl(e1, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, p[0], &evt); write(p[1], p, sizeof p); epoll_ctl(e1, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, e2, &evt); return 0; } On insertion, check whether the inserted file is itself a struct epoll, and if so, do a recursive walk to detect whether inserting this file would create a loop of epoll structures, which could lead to deadlock.

epoll: limit paths The current epoll code can be tickled to run basically indefinitely in both loop detection path check (on ep_insert()), and in the wakeup paths. The programs that tickle this behavior set up deeply linked networks of epoll file descriptors that cause the epoll algorithms to traverse them indefinitely. A couple of these sample programs have been previously posted in this thread: https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/2/25/297. To fix the loop detection path check algorithms, I simply keep track of the epoll nodes that have been already visited. Thus, the loop detection becomes proportional to the number of epoll file descriptor and links. This dramatically decreases the run-time of the loop check algorithm. In one diabolical case I tried it reduced the run-time from 15 mintues (all in kernel time) to .3 seconds. Fixing the wakeup paths could be done at wakeup time in a similar manner by keeping track of nodes that have already been visited, but the complexity is harder, since there can be multiple wakeups on different cpus...Thus, I've opted to limit the number of possible wakeup paths when the paths are created. This is accomplished, by noting that the end file descriptor points that are found during the loop detection pass (from the newly added link), are actually the sources for wakeup events. I keep a list of these file descriptors and limit the number and length of these paths that emanate from these 'source file descriptors'. In the current implemetation I allow 1000 paths of length 1, 500 of length 2, 100 of length 3, 50 of length 4 and 10 of length 5. Note that it is sufficient to check the 'source file descriptors' reachable from the newly added link, since no other 'source file descriptors' will have newly added links. This allows us to check only the wakeup paths that may have gotten too long, and not re-check all possible wakeup paths on the system. In terms of the path limit selection, I think its first worth noting that the most common case for epoll, is probably the model where you have 1 epoll file descriptor that is monitoring n number of 'source file descriptors'. In this case, each 'source file descriptor' has a 1 path of length 1. Thus, I believe that the limits I'm proposing are quite reasonable and in fact may be too generous. Thus, I'm hoping that the proposed limits will not prevent any workloads that currently work to fail. In terms of locking, I have extended the use of the 'epmutex' to all epoll_ctl add and remove operations. Currently its only used in a subset of the add paths. I need to hold the epmutex, so that we can correctly traverse a coherent graph, to check the number of paths. I believe that this additional locking is probably ok, since its in the setup/teardown paths, and doesn't affect the running paths, but it certainly is going to add some extra overhead. Also, worth noting is that the epmuex was recently added to the ep_ctl add operations in the initial path loop detection code using the argument that it was not on a critical path. Another thing to note here, is the length of epoll chains that is allowed. Currently, eventpoll.c defines: /* Maximum number of nesting allowed inside epoll sets */ #define EP_MAX_NESTS 4 This basically means that I am limited to a graph depth of 5 (EP_MAX_NESTS + 1). However, this limit is currently only enforced during the loop check detection code, and only when the epoll file descriptors are added in a certain order. Thus, this limit is currently easily bypassed. The newly added check for wakeup paths, stricly limits the wakeup paths to a length of 5, regardless of the order in which ep's are linked together. Thus, a side-effect of the new code is a more consistent enforcement of the graph depth. Thus far, I've tested this, using the sample programs previously mentioned, which now either return quickly or return -EINVAL. I've also testing using the piptest.c epoll tester, which showed no difference in performance. I've also created a number of different epoll networks and tested that they behave as expectded. I believe this solves the original diabolical test cases, while still preserving the sane epoll nesting.

epoll: do not take global 'epmutex' for simple topologies When calling EPOLL_CTL_ADD for an epoll file descriptor that is attached directly to a wakeup source, we do not need to take the global 'epmutex', unless the epoll file descriptor is nested. The purpose of taking the 'epmutex' on add is to prevent complex topologies such as loops and deep wakeup paths from forming in parallel through multiple EPOLL_CTL_ADD operations. However, for the simple case of an epoll file descriptor attached directly to a wakeup source (with no nesting), we do not need to hold the 'epmutex'. This patch along with 'epoll: optimize EPOLL_CTL_DEL using rcu' improves scalability on larger systems. Quoting Nathan Zimmer's mail on SPECjbb performance: "On the 16 socket run the performance went from 35k jOPS to 125k jOPS. In addition the benchmark when from scaling well on 10 sockets to scaling well on just over 40 sockets. ... Currently the benchmark stops scaling at around 40-44 sockets but it seems like I found a second unrelated bottleneck."

epoll: restrict EPOLLEXCLUSIVE to POLLIN and POLLOUT In the current implementation of the EPOLLEXCLUSIVE flag (added for 4.5-rc1), if epoll waiters create different POLL* sets and register them as exclusive against the same target fd, the current implementation will stop waking any further waiters once it finds the first idle waiter. This means that waiters could miss wakeups in certain cases. For example, when we wake up a pipe for reading we do: wake_up_interruptible_sync_poll(&pipe->wait, POLLIN | POLLRDNORM); So if one epoll set or epfd is added to pipe p with POLLIN and a second set epfd2 is added to pipe p with POLLRDNORM, only epfd may receive the wakeup since the current implementation will stop after it finds any intersection of events with a waiter that is blocked in epoll_wait(). We could potentially address this by requiring all epoll waiters that are added to p be required to pass the same set of POLL* events. IE the first EPOLL_CTL_ADD that passes EPOLLEXCLUSIVE establishes the set POLL* flags to be used by any other epfds that are added as EPOLLEXCLUSIVE. However, I think it might be somewhat confusing interface as we would have to reference count the number of users for that set, and so userspace would have to keep track of that count, or we would need a more involved interface. It also adds some shared state that we'd have store somewhere. I don't think anybody will want to bloat __wait_queue_head for this. I think what we could do instead, is to simply restrict EPOLLEXCLUSIVE such that it can only be specified with EPOLLIN and/or EPOLLOUT. So that way if the wakeup includes 'POLLIN' and not 'POLLOUT', we can stop once we hit the first idle waiter that specifies the EPOLLIN bit, since any remaining waiters that only have 'POLLOUT' set wouldn't need to be woken. Likewise, we can do the same thing if 'POLLOUT' is in the wakeup bit set and not 'POLLIN'. If both 'POLLOUT' and 'POLLIN' are set in the wake bit set (there is at least one example of this I saw in fs/pipe.c), then we just wake the entire exclusive list. Having both 'POLLOUT' and 'POLLIN' both set should not be on any performance critical path, so I think that's ok (in fs/pipe.c its in pipe_release()). We also continue to include EPOLLERR and EPOLLHUP by default in any exclusive set. Thus, the user can specify EPOLLERR and/or EPOLLHUP but is not required to do so. Since epoll waiters may be interested in other events as well besides EPOLLIN, EPOLLOUT, EPOLLERR and EPOLLHUP, these can still be added by doing a 'dup' call on the target fd and adding that as one normally would with EPOLL_CTL_ADD. Since I think that the POLLIN and POLLOUT events are what we are interest in balancing, I think that the 'dup' thing could perhaps be added to only one of the waiter threads. However, I think that EPOLLIN, EPOLLOUT, EPOLLERR and EPOLLHUP should be sufficient for the majority of use-cases. Since EPOLLEXCLUSIVE is intended to be used with a target fd shared among multiple epfds, where between 1 and n of the epfds may receive an event, it does not satisfy the semantics of EPOLLONESHOT where only 1 epfd would get an event. Thus, it is not allowed to be specified in conjunction with EPOLLEXCLUSIVE. EPOLL_CTL_MOD is also not allowed if the fd was previously added as EPOLLEXCLUSIVE. It seems with the limited number of flags to not be as interesting, but this could be relaxed at some further point.

epoll: prevent creating circular epoll structures In several places, an epoll fd can call another file's ->f_op->poll() method with ep->mtx held. This is in general unsafe, because that other file could itself be an epoll fd that contains the original epoll fd. The code defends against this possibility in its own ->poll() method using ep_call_nested, but there are several other unsafe calls to ->poll elsewhere that can be made to deadlock. For example, the following simple program causes the call in ep_insert recursively call the original fd's ->poll, leading to deadlock: #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/epoll.h> int main(void) { int e1, e2, p[2]; struct epoll_event evt = { .events = EPOLLIN }; e1 = epoll_create(1); e2 = epoll_create(2); pipe(p); epoll_ctl(e2, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, e1, &evt); epoll_ctl(e1, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, p[0], &evt); write(p[1], p, sizeof p); epoll_ctl(e1, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, e2, &evt); return 0; } On insertion, check whether the inserted file is itself a struct epoll, and if so, do a recursive walk to detect whether inserting this file would create a loop of epoll structures, which could lead to deadlock.

epoll: introduce resource usage limits It has been thought that the per-user file descriptors limit would also limit the resources that a normal user can request via the epoll interface. Vegard Nossum reported a very simple program (a modified version attached) that can make a normal user to request a pretty large amount of kernel memory, well within the its maximum number of fds. To solve such problem, default limits are now imposed, and /proc based configuration has been introduced. A new directory has been created, named /proc/sys/fs/epoll/ and inside there, there are two configuration points: max_user_instances = Maximum number of devices - per user max_user_watches = Maximum number of "watched" fds - per user The current default for "max_user_watches" limits the memory used by epoll to store "watches", to 1/32 of the amount of the low RAM. As example, a 256MB 32bit machine, will have "max_user_watches" set to roughly 90000. That should be enough to not break existing heavy epoll users. The default value for "max_user_instances" is set to 128, that should be enough too. This also changes the userspace, because a new error code can now come out from EPOLL_CTL_ADD (-ENOSPC). The EMFILE from epoll_create() was already listed, so that should be ok.

epoll: avoid calling ep_call_nested() from ep_poll_safewake() ep_poll_safewake() is used to wakeup potentially nested epoll file descriptors. The function uses ep_call_nested() to prevent entering the same wake up queue more than once, and to prevent excessively deep wakeup paths (deeper than EP_MAX_NESTS). However, this is not necessary since we are already preventing these conditions during EPOLL_CTL_ADD. This saves extra function calls, and avoids taking a global lock during the ep_call_nested() calls. I have, however, left ep_call_nested() for the CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC case, since ep_call_nested() keeps track of the nesting level, and this is required by the call to spin_lock_irqsave_nested(). It would be nice to remove the ep_call_nested() calls for the CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC case as well, however its not clear how to simply pass the nesting level through multiple wake_up() levels without more surgery. In any case, I don't think CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC is generally used for production. This patch, also apparently fixes a workload at Google that Salman Qazi reported by completely removing the poll_safewake_ncalls->lock from wakeup paths.

epoll: fix epoll's own poll Fix a bug inside the epoll's f_op->poll() code, that returns POLLIN even though there are no actual ready monitored fds. The bug shows up if you add an epoll fd inside another fd container (poll, select, epoll). The problem is that callback-based wake ups used by epoll does not carry (patches will follow, to fix this) any information about the events that actually happened. So the callback code, since it can't call the file* ->poll() inside the callback, chains the file* into a ready-list. So, suppose you added an fd with EPOLLOUT only, and some data shows up on the fd, the file* mapped by the fd will be added into the ready-list (via wakeup callback). During normal epoll_wait() use, this condition is sorted out at the time we're actually able to call the file*'s f_op->poll(). Inside the old epoll's f_op->poll() though, only a quick check !list_empty(ready-list) was performed, and this could have led to reporting POLLIN even though no ready fds would show up at a following epoll_wait(). In order to correctly report the ready status for an epoll fd, the ready-list must be checked to see if any really available fd+event would be ready in a following epoll_wait(). Operation (calling f_op->poll() from inside f_op->poll()) that, like wake ups, must be handled with care because of the fact that epoll fds can be added to other epoll fds.

epoll: avoid calling ep_call_nested() from ep_poll_safewake() ep_poll_safewake() is used to wakeup potentially nested epoll file descriptors. The function uses ep_call_nested() to prevent entering the same wake up queue more than once, and to prevent excessively deep wakeup paths (deeper than EP_MAX_NESTS). However, this is not necessary since we are already preventing these conditions during EPOLL_CTL_ADD. This saves extra function calls, and avoids taking a global lock during the ep_call_nested() calls. I have, however, left ep_call_nested() for the CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC case, since ep_call_nested() keeps track of the nesting level, and this is required by the call to spin_lock_irqsave_nested(). It would be nice to remove the ep_call_nested() calls for the CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC case as well, however its not clear how to simply pass the nesting level through multiple wake_up() levels without more surgery. In any case, I don't think CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC is generally used for production. This patch, also apparently fixes a workload at Google that Salman Qazi reported by completely removing the poll_safewake_ncalls->lock from wakeup paths.
