percpu_ref: decouple switching to atomic mode and killing percpu_ref has treated the dropping of the base reference and switching to atomic mode as an integral operation; however, there's nothing inherent tying the two together. The use cases for percpu_ref have been expanding continuously. While the current init/kill/reinit/exit model can cover a lot, the coupling of kill/reinit with atomic/percpu mode switching is turning out to be too restrictive for use cases where many percpu_refs are created and destroyed back-to-back with only some of them reaching extended operation. The coupling also makes implementing always-atomic debug mode difficult. This patch separates out atomic mode switching into percpu_ref_switch_to_atomic() and reimplements percpu_ref_kill_and_confirm() on top of it. * The handling of __PERCPU_REF_ATOMIC and __PERCPU_REF_DEAD is now differentiated. Among get/put operations, percpu_ref_tryget_live() is the only one which cares about DEAD. * percpu_ref_switch_to_atomic() can be called multiple times on the same ref. This means that multiple @confirm_switch may get queued up which we can't do reliably without extra memory area. This is handled by making the later invocation synchronously wait for the completion of the previous one. This isn't particularly desirable but such synchronous waits shouldn't happen in most cases.

percpu_ref: allow operation mode switching operations to be called concurrently percpu_ref initially didn't have explicit mode switching operations. It started out in percpu mode and switched to atomic mode on kill and then released. Ensuring that kill operation is initiated only after init completes was naturally the caller's responsibility. percpu_ref_reinit() was introduced later but it didn't shift the synchronization responsibility. Reinit can't be performed until kill is confirmed, so there was nothing to worry about synchronization-wise. Also, as both reinit and kill manipulate the base reference, invocations of the same function couldn't be allowed to race each other. The latest additions of percpu_ref_switch_to_atomic/percpu() changed the situation. These two functions can be called any time as long as the percpu_ref is between init and exit and thus there are valid valid usage scenarios where these new functions race with each other or against reinit/kill. Mostly from inertia, f47ad4578461 ("percpu_ref: decouple switching to percpu mode and reinit") still left synchronization among percpu mode switching operations to its users. That the new switch functions can be freely mixed with kill/reinit but the operations themselves should be synchronized is too subtle a requirement and led to a very subtle race condition in blk-mq freezing path. This patch fixes the situation by introducing percpu_ref_switch_lock to protect mode switching operations. This ensures that percpu-ref users don't have to worry about mode changing operations racing against each other, e.g. switch_to_percpu against kill, as long as the sequence of operations is valid.

percpu-refcount: Use call_rcu_hurry() for atomic switch Earlier commits in this series allow battery-powered systems to build their kernels with the default-disabled CONFIG_RCU_LAZY=y Kconfig option. This Kconfig option causes call_rcu() to delay its callbacks in order to batch callbacks. This means that a given RCU grace period covers more callbacks, thus reducing the number of grace periods, in turn reducing the amount of energy consumed, which increases battery lifetime which can be a very good thing. This is not a subtle effect: In some important use cases, the battery lifetime is increased by more than 10%. This CONFIG_RCU_LAZY=y option is available only for CPUs that offload callbacks, for example, CPUs mentioned in the rcu_nocbs kernel boot parameter passed to kernels built with CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU=y. Delaying callbacks is normally not a problem because most callbacks do nothing but free memory. If the system is short on memory, a shrinker will kick all currently queued lazy callbacks out of their laziness, thus freeing their memory in short order. Similarly, the rcu_barrier() function, which blocks until all currently queued callbacks are invoked, will also kick lazy callbacks, thus enabling rcu_barrier() to complete in a timely manner. However, there are some cases where laziness is not a good option. For example, synchronize_rcu() invokes call_rcu(), and blocks until the newly queued callback is invoked. It would not be a good for synchronize_rcu() to block for ten seconds, even on an idle system. Therefore, synchronize_rcu() invokes call_rcu_hurry() instead of call_rcu(). The arrival of a non-lazy call_rcu_hurry() callback on a given CPU kicks any lazy callbacks that might be already queued on that CPU. After all, if there is going to be a grace period, all callbacks might as well get full benefit from it. Yes, this could be done the other way around by creating a call_rcu_lazy(), but earlier experience with this approach and feedback at the 2022 Linux Plumbers Conference shifted the approach to call_rcu() being lazy with call_rcu_hurry() for the few places where laziness is inappropriate. And another call_rcu() instance that cannot be lazy is the one on the percpu refcounter's "per-CPU to atomic switch" code path, which uses RCU when switching to atomic mode. The enqueued callback wakes up waiters waiting in the percpu_ref_switch_waitq. Allowing this callback to be lazy would result in unacceptable slowdowns for users of per-CPU refcounts, such as blk_pre_runtime_suspend(). Therefore, make __percpu_ref_switch_to_atomic() use call_rcu_hurry() in order to revert to the old behavior.

This patch fixes the situation by introducing percpu_ref_switch_lock to protect mode switching operations. This ensures that percpu-ref users don't have to worry about mode changing operations racing against each other, e.g. switch_to_percpu against kill, as long as the sequence of operations is valid.

2015-09-29 17:47:20 -04:00
percpu_ref: decouple switching to atomic mode and killing percpu_ref has treated the dropping of the base reference and switching to atomic mode as an integral operation; however, there's nothing inherent tying the two together. The use cases for percpu_ref have been expanding continuously. While the current init/kill/reinit/exit model can cover a lot, the coupling of kill/reinit with atomic/percpu mode switching is turning out to be too restrictive for use cases where many percpu_refs are created and destroyed back-to-back with only some of them reaching extended operation. The coupling also makes implementing always-atomic debug mode difficult. This patch separates out atomic mode switching into percpu_ref_switch_to_atomic() and reimplements percpu_ref_kill_and_confirm() on top of it. * The handling of __PERCPU_REF_ATOMIC and __PERCPU_REF_DEAD is now differentiated. Among get/put operations, percpu_ref_tryget_live() is the only one which cares about DEAD. * percpu_ref_switch_to_atomic() can be called multiple times on the same ref. This means that multiple @confirm_switch may get queued up which we can't do reliably without extra memory area. This is handled by making the later invocation synchronously wait for the completion of the previous one. This isn't particularly desirable but such synchronous waits shouldn't happen in most cases.

percpu_ref: allow operation mode switching operations to be called concurrently percpu_ref initially didn't have explicit mode switching operations. It started out in percpu mode and switched to atomic mode on kill and then released. Ensuring that kill operation is initiated only after init completes was naturally the caller's responsibility. percpu_ref_reinit() was introduced later but it didn't shift the synchronization responsibility. Reinit can't be performed until kill is confirmed, so there was nothing to worry about synchronization-wise. Also, as both reinit and kill manipulate the base reference, invocations of the same function couldn't be allowed to race each other. The latest additions of percpu_ref_switch_to_atomic/percpu() changed the situation. These two functions can be called any time as long as the percpu_ref is between init and exit and thus there are valid valid usage scenarios where these new functions race with each other or against reinit/kill. Mostly from inertia, f47ad4578461 ("percpu_ref: decouple switching to percpu mode and reinit") still left synchronization among percpu mode switching operations to its users. That the new switch functions can be freely mixed with kill/reinit but the operations themselves should be synchronized is too subtle a requirement and led to a very subtle race condition in blk-mq freezing path.
