Since commit 1a3c7bb088 ("PM: core: Add new *_PM_OPS macros, deprecate
old ones") SIMPLE_DEV_PM_OPS has been marked deprecated.
The intent is to remove CONFIG_PM_SLEEP guards for PM callbacks. As such
the ifdefs are now removed.

As an end user, it can be confusing to request an arbitrary IO port be
used only to find out that it doesn't work without an obvious reason,
especially since /sys/module/snd_ymfpci/parameters/{fm,joystick,mpu}_port
indicate 0 after the module has been loaded.
In my case, I was unaware that the YMF724 did not support such usage, and
thus ended up spending time attempting to debug the issue.
Now, when a user attempts to request an IO port that isn't supported by
the hardware, the following message is printed:
[ 25.549530] snd_ymfpci 0000:06:05.0: The Yamaha DS-1 (YMF724F) does not support arbitrary IO ports for FM (requested 0x1234)

Using the QDMA tx scheduler to throttle tx to line speed works fine for
switch ports, but apparently caused a regression on non-switch ports.
Based on a number of tests, it seems that this throttling can be safely
dropped without re-introducing the issues on switch ports that the
tx scheduling changes resolved.

Now that class_to_subsys() can be used to get access to the internal
class private pointer, convert the remaining few places in class.c that
were accessing the pointer directly to use class_to_subsys() instead.
By doing this, the need for class_get() and class_put() goes away as no
one actually tries to increment the class structures anymore, only the
internal dynamic one.

Much like what was done in commit 273afac615 ("driver core: bus:
implement bus_get/put() without the private pointer"), it is time to
move the driver core away from using the internal private pointer in
struct class in order to enable it to be always a constant and be placed
in read-only memory in the future.
First step in doing this is to create a helper function that turns a
'struct class' into 'struct subsys_private' called class_to_subsys().
class_to_subsys() walks the list of registered busses in the system and
finds the matching one based on the pointer to the class itself. As
this is a short list, and this function is not on any fast path, it
should not be noticable.
Implement class_get() and class_put() using this new helper function.

struct class should never be modified in a sysfs callback as there is
nothing in the structure to modify, and frankly, the structure is almost
never used in a sysfs callback, so mark it as constant to allow struct
class to be moved to read-only memory.
While we are touching all class sysfs callbacks also mark the attribute
as constant as it can not be modified. The bonding code still uses this
structure so it can not be removed from the function callbacks.

tegra124_dfll_fcpu_remove() calls tegra_dfll_unregister() and the former
emits an error message if the latter fails. In that case
tegra_dfll_unregister() already printed an error message. Additionally
tegra124_dfll_fcpu_remove() returns an error code which results in yet
another warning emitted by platform_remove().
So drop the error message from tegra124_dfll_fcpu_remove() and let it
return 0. (Retuning 0 has no side effect but suppressing the error
message in platform_remove().)
Also add two comments about exiting early being wrong. This is something
that needs fixing separately.

====================
net, refcount: Address dst_entry reference count scalability issues
This is version 3 of this series. Version 2 can be found here:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230307125358.772287565@linutronix.de
Wangyang and Arjan reported a bottleneck in the networking code related to
struct dst_entry::__refcnt. Performance tanks massively when concurrency on
a dst_entry increases.
This happens when there are a large amount of connections to or from the
same IP address. The memtier benchmark when run on the same host as
memcached amplifies this massively. But even over real network connections
this issue can be observed at an obviously smaller scale (due to the
network bandwith limitations in my setup, i.e. 1Gb). How to reproduce:
Run memcached with -t $N and memtier_benchmark with -t $M and --ratio=1:100
on the same machine. localhost connections amplify the problem.
Start with the defaults for $N and $M and increase them. Depending on
your machine this will tank at some point. But even in reasonably small
$N, $M scenarios the refcount operations and the resulting false sharing
fallout becomes visible in perf top. At some point it becomes the
dominating issue.
There are two factors which make this reference count a scalability issue:
1) False sharing
dst_entry:__refcnt is located at offset 64 of dst_entry, which puts
it into a seperate cacheline vs. the read mostly members located at
the beginning of the struct.
That prevents false sharing vs. the struct members in the first 64
bytes of the structure, but there is also
dst_entry::lwtstate
which is located after the reference count and in the same cache
line. This member is read after a reference count has been acquired.
The other problem is struct rtable, which embeds a struct dst_entry
at offset 0. struct dst_entry has a size of 112 bytes, which means
that the struct members of rtable which follow the dst member share
the same cache line as dst_entry::__refcnt. Especially
rtable::rt_genid
is also read by the contexts which have a reference count acquired
already.
When dst_entry:__refcnt is incremented or decremented via an atomic
operation these read accesses stall and contribute to the performance
problem.
2) atomic_inc_not_zero()
A reference on dst_entry:__refcnt is acquired via
atomic_inc_not_zero() and released via atomic_dec_return().
atomic_inc_not_zero() is implemted via a atomic_try_cmpxchg() loop,
which exposes O(N^2) behaviour under contention with N concurrent
operations. Contention scalability is degrading with even a small
amount of contenders and gets worse from there.
Lightweight instrumentation exposed an average of 8!! retry loops per
atomic_inc_not_zero() invocation in a inc()/dec() loop running
concurrently on 112 CPUs.
There is nothing which can be done to make atomic_inc_not_zero() more
scalable.
The following series addresses these issues:
1) Reorder and pad struct dst_entry to prevent the false sharing.
2) Implement and use a reference count implementation which avoids the
atomic_inc_not_zero() problem.
It is slightly less performant in the case of the final 0 -> -1
transition, but the deconstruction of these objects is a low
frequency event. get()/put() pairs are in the hotpath and that's
what this implementation optimizes for.
The algorithm of this reference count is only suitable for RCU
managed objects. Therefore it cannot replace the refcount_t
algorithm, which is also based on atomic_inc_not_zero(), due to a
subtle race condition related to the 0 -> -1 transition and the final
verdict to mark the reference count dead. See details in patch 2/3.
It might be just my lack of imagination which declares this to be
impossible and I'd be happy to be proven wrong.
As a bonus the new rcuref implementation provides underflow/overflow
detection and mitigation while being performance wise on par with
open coded atomic_inc_not_zero() / atomic_dec_return() pairs even in
the non-contended case.
The combination of these two changes results in performance gains in micro
benchmarks and also localhost and networked memtier benchmarks talking to
memcached. It's hard to quantify the benchmark results as they depend
heavily on the micro-architecture and the number of concurrent operations.
The overall gain of both changes for localhost memtier ranges from 1.2X to
3.2X and from +2% to %5% range for networked operations on a 1Gb connection.
A micro benchmark which enforces maximized concurrency shows a gain between
1.2X and 4.7X!!!
Obviously this is focussed on a particular problem and therefore needs to
be discussed in detail. It also requires wider testing outside of the cases
which this is focussed on.
Though the false sharing issue is obvious and should be addressed
independent of the more focussed reference count changes.
The series is also available from git:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tglx/devel.git rcuref
Changes vs. V2:
- Rename __refcnt to __rcuref (Linus)
- Fix comments and changelogs (Mark, Qiuxu)
- Fixup kernel doc of generated atomic_add_negative() variants
I want to say thanks to Wangyang who analyzed the issue and provided the
initial fix for the false sharing problem. Further thanks go to Arjan
Peter, Marc, Will and Borislav for valuable input and providing test
results on machines which I do not have access to, and to Linus and
Eric, Qiuxu and Mark for helpful feedback.

Under high contention dst_entry::__refcnt becomes a significant bottleneck.
atomic_inc_not_zero() is implemented with a cmpxchg() loop, which goes into
high retry rates on contention.
Switch the reference count to rcuref_t which results in a significant
performance gain. Rename the reference count member to __rcuref to reflect
the change.
The gain depends on the micro-architecture and the number of concurrent
operations and has been measured in the range of +25% to +130% with a
localhost memtier/memcached benchmark which amplifies the problem
massively.
Running the memtier/memcached benchmark over a real (1Gb) network
connection the conversion on top of the false sharing fix for struct
dst_entry::__refcnt results in a total gain in the 2%-5% range over the
upstream baseline.

dst_entry::__refcnt is highly contended in scenarios where many connections
happen from and to the same IP. The reference count is an atomic_t, so the
reference count operations have to take the cache-line exclusive.
Aside of the unavoidable reference count contention there is another
significant problem which is caused by that: False sharing.
perf top identified two affected read accesses. dst_entry::lwtstate and
rtable::rt_genid.
dst_entry:__refcnt is located at offset 64 of dst_entry, which puts it into
a seperate cacheline vs. the read mostly members located at the beginning
of the struct.
That prevents false sharing vs. the struct members in the first 64
bytes of the structure, but there is also
dst_entry::lwtstate
which is located after the reference count and in the same cache line. This
member is read after a reference count has been acquired.
struct rtable embeds a struct dst_entry at offset 0. struct dst_entry has a
size of 112 bytes, which means that the struct members of rtable which
follow the dst member share the same cache line as dst_entry::__refcnt.
Especially
rtable::rt_genid
is also read by the contexts which have a reference count acquired
already.
When dst_entry:__refcnt is incremented or decremented via an atomic
operation these read accesses stall. This was found when analysing the
memtier benchmark in 1:100 mode, which amplifies the problem extremly.
Move the rt[6i]_uncached[_list] members out of struct rtable and struct
rt6_info into struct dst_entry to provide padding and move the lwtstate
member after that so it ends up in the same cache line.
The resulting improvement depends on the micro-architecture and the number
of CPUs. It ranges from +20% to +120% with a localhost memtier/memcached
benchmark.

Currently, the synchronize_shrinkers() is only used by TTM pool. It only
requires that no shrinkers run in parallel, and doesn't care about
registering and unregistering of shrinkers.
Since slab shrink is protected by SRCU, synchronize_srcu() is sufficient
to ensure that no shrinker is running in parallel. So the shrinker_rwsem
in synchronize_shrinkers() is no longer needed, just remove it.

For now, reparent_shrinker_deferred() is the only holder of read lock of
shrinker_rwsem. And it already holds the global cgroup_mutex, so it will
not be called in parallel.
Therefore, in order to convert shrinker_rwsem to shrinker_mutex later,
here we change to hold the write lock of shrinker_rwsem to reparent.

After we make slab shrink lockless with SRCU, the longest sleep
unregister_shrinker() will be a sleep waiting for all do_shrink_slab()
calls.
To avoid long unbreakable action in the unregister_shrinker(), add
shrinker_srcu_generation to restore a check similar to the
rwsem_is_contendent() check that we had before.
And for memcg slab shrink, we unlock SRCU and continue iterations from the
next shrinker id.

We can reproduce the down_read_trylock() hotspot through the

```
Save the above script, then run test and touch commands.
Then we can use the following perf command to view hotspots:
perf top -U -F 999

The shrinker_rwsem is a global read-write lock in shrinkers subsystem,
which protects most operations such as slab shrink, registration and
unregistration of shrinkers, etc. This can easily cause problems in the
following cases.
1) When the memory pressure is high and there are many
filesystems mounted or unmounted at the same time,
slab shrink will be affected (down_read_trylock()
failed).
Such as the real workload mentioned by Kirill Tkhai:
```
One of the real workloads from my experience is start
of an overcommitted node containing many starting
containers after node crash (or many resuming containers
after reboot for kernel update). In these cases memory
pressure is huge, and the node goes round in long reclaim.
```
2) If a shrinker is blocked (such as the case mentioned
in [1]) and a writer comes in (such as mount a fs),
then this writer will be blocked and cause all
subsequent shrinker-related operations to be blocked.
Even if there is no competitor when shrinking slab, there may still be a
problem. If we have a long shrinker list and we do not reclaim enough
memory with each shrinker, then the down_read_trylock() may be called with
high frequency. Because of the poor multicore scalability of atomic
operations, this can lead to a significant drop in IPC (instructions per
cycle).
So many times in history ([2],[3],[4],[5]), some people wanted to replace
shrinker_rwsem trylock with SRCU in the slab shrink, but all these patches
were abandoned because SRCU was not unconditionally enabled.
But now, since commit 1cd0bd06093c ("rcu: Remove CONFIG_SRCU"), the SRCU
is unconditionally enabled. So it's time to use SRCU to protect readers
who previously held shrinker_rwsem.
This commit uses SRCU to make global slab shrink lockless,
the memcg slab shrink is handled in the subsequent patch.

high frequency at that time. Because of the poor multicore scalability of

(instructions per cycle).
And more, the shrinker_rwsem is a global read-write lock in shrinkers

writer comes in (such as mount a fs), then this writer will be blocked
and cause all subsequent shrinker-related operations to be blocked.

All the above cases can be solved by replacing the shrinker_rwsem trylocks
with SRCU.
2. Survey
=========
Before doing the code implementation, I found that there were many similar
submissions in the community:
a. Davidlohr Bueso submitted a patch in 2015.
Subject: [PATCH -next v2] mm: srcu-ify shrinkers
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/1437080113.3596.2.camel@stgolabs.net/
Result: It was finally merged into the linux-next branch,
but failed on arm allnoconfig (without CONFIG_SRCU)
b. Tetsuo Handa submitted a patchset in 2017.
Subject: [PATCH 1/2] mm,vmscan: Kill global shrinker lock.
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/1510609063-3327-1-git-send-email-penguin-kernel@I-love.SAKURA.ne.jp/
Result: Finally chose to use the current simple way (break
when rwsem_is_contended()). And Christoph Hellwig suggested to
using SRCU, but SRCU was not unconditionally enabled at the
time.
c. Kirill Tkhai submitted a patchset in 2018.
Subject: [PATCH RFC 00/10] Introduce lockless shrink_slab()
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/153365347929.19074.12509495712735843805.stgit@localhost.localdomain/
Result: At that time, SRCU was not unconditionally enabled,
and there were some objections to enabling SRCU. Later,
because Kirill's focus was moved to other things, this patchset
was not continued to be updated.
d. Sultan Alsawaf submitted a patch in 2021.
Subject: [PATCH] mm: vmscan: Replace shrinker_rwsem trylocks with SRCU protection
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210927074823.5825-1-sultan@kerneltoast.com/
Result: Rejected because SRCU was not unconditionally enabled.
We can find that almost all these historical commits were abandoned
because SRCU was not unconditionally enabled. But now SRCU has been
unconditionally enable by Paul E. McKenney in 2023 [2], so it's time to
replace shrinker_rwsem trylocks with SRCU.

3. Reproduction and testing
===========================
We can reproduce the down_read_trylock() hotspot through the following script:
```
#!/bin/bash
DIR="/root/shrinker/memcg/mnt"
do_create()
{
mkdir -p /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test
mkdir -p /sys/fs/cgroup/perf_event/test
echo 4G > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test/memory.limit_in_bytes
for i in `seq 0 $1`;
do
mkdir -p /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test/$i;
echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test/$i/cgroup.procs;
echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/perf_event/test/cgroup.procs;
mkdir -p $DIR/$i;
done
}
do_mount()
{
for i in `seq $1 $2`;
do
mount -t tmpfs $i $DIR/$i;
done
}
do_touch()
{
for i in `seq $1 $2`;
do
echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test/$i/cgroup.procs;
echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/perf_event/test/cgroup.procs;
dd if=/dev/zero of=$DIR/$i/file$i bs=1M count=1 &
done
}
case "$1" in
touch)
do_touch $2 $3
;;
test)
do_create 4000
do_mount 0 4000
do_touch 0 3000
;;
*)
exit 1
;;
esac
```
Save the above script, then run test and touch commands. Then we can use
the following perf command to view hotspots:
perf top -U -F 999
1) Before applying this patchset:
32.31% [kernel] [k] down_read_trylock
19.40% [kernel] [k] pv_native_safe_halt
16.24% [kernel] [k] up_read
15.70% [kernel] [k] shrink_slab
4.69% [kernel] [k] _find_next_bit
2.62% [kernel] [k] shrink_node
1.78% [kernel] [k] shrink_lruvec
0.76% [kernel] [k] do_shrink_slab
2) After applying this patchset:
27.83% [kernel] [k] _find_next_bit
16.97% [kernel] [k] shrink_slab
15.82% [kernel] [k] pv_native_safe_halt
9.58% [kernel] [k] shrink_node
8.31% [kernel] [k] shrink_lruvec
5.64% [kernel] [k] do_shrink_slab
3.88% [kernel] [k] mem_cgroup_iter
At the same time, we use the following perf command to capture IPC
information:
perf stat -e cycles,instructions -G test -a --repeat 5 -- sleep 10
1) Before applying this patchset:
Performance counter stats for 'system wide' (5 runs):
454187219766 cycles test ( +- 1.84% )
78896433101 instructions test # 0.17 insn per cycle ( +- 0.44% )
10.0020430 +- 0.0000366 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.00% )
2) After applying this patchset:
Performance counter stats for 'system wide' (5 runs):
841954709443 cycles test ( +- 15.80% ) (98.69%)
527258677936 instructions test # 0.63 insn per cycle ( +- 15.11% ) (98.68%)
10.01064 +- 0.00831 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.08% )
We can see that IPC drops very seriously when calling down_read_trylock()
at high frequency. After using SRCU, the IPC is at a normal level.
This patch (of 8):
To prepare for the subsequent lockless memcg slab shrink, add a map_nr_max
field to struct shrinker_info to records its own real shrinker_nr_max.

Code inspection reveals that PG_skip_kasan_poison is redundant with
kasantag, because the former is intended to be set iff the latter is the
match-all tag. It can also be observed that it's basically pointless to
poison pages which have kasantag=0, because any pages with this tag would
have been pointed to by pointers with match-all tags, so poisoning the
pages would have little to no effect in terms of bug detection.
Therefore, change the condition in should_skip_kasan_poison() to check
kasantag instead, and remove PG_skip_kasan_poison and associated flags.
