2020-09-02fix regression in "epoll: Keep a reference on files added to the check list"Al Viro1-3/+3

2020-08-22epoll: Keep a reference on files added to the check listMarc Zyngier1-2/+9
When adding a new fd to an epoll, and that this new fd is an epoll fd itself, we recursively scan the fds attached to it to detect cycles, and add non-epool files to a "check list" that gets subsequently parsed. However, this check list isn't completely safe when deletions can happen concurrently. To sidestep the issue, make sure that a struct file placed on the check list sees its f_count increased, ensuring that a concurrent deletion won't result in the file disapearing from under our feet.

2020-05-14epoll: call final ep_events_available() check under the lockRoman Penyaev1-20/+28
There is a possible race when ep_scan_ready_list() leaves ->rdllist and ->obflist empty for a short period of time although some events are pending. It is quite likely that ep_events_available() observes empty lists and goes to sleep. Since commit 339ddb53d373 ("fs/epoll: remove unnecessary wakeups of nested epoll") we are conservative in wakeups (there is only one place for wakeup and this is ep_poll_callback()), thus ep_events_available() must always observe correct state of two lists. The easiest and correct way is to do the final check under the lock. This does not impact the performance, since lock is taken anyway for adding a wait entry to the wait queue. The discussion of the problem can be found here: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-fsdevel/a2f22c3c-c25a-4bda-8339-a7bdaf17849e@akamai.com/ In this patch barrierless __set_current_state() is used. This is safe since waitqueue_active() is called under the same lock on wakeup side. Short-circuit for fatal signals (i.e. fatal_signal_pending() check) is moved to the line just before actual events harvesting routine. This is fully compliant to what is said in the comment of the patch where the actual fatal_signal_pending() check was added: c257a340ede0 ("fs, epoll: short circuit fetching events if thread has been killed").

2020-05-07epoll: atomically remove wait entry on wake upRoman Penyaev1-19/+24
This patch does two things: - fixes a lost wakeup introduced by commit 339ddb53d373 ("fs/epoll: remove unnecessary wakeups of nested epoll") - improves performance for events delivery. The description of the problem is the following: if N (>1) threads are waiting on ep->wq for new events and M (>1) events come, it is quite likely that >1 wakeups hit the same wait queue entry, because there is quite a big window between __add_wait_queue_exclusive() and the following __remove_wait_queue() calls in ep_poll() function. This can lead to lost wakeups, because thread, which was woken up, can handle not all the events in ->rdllist. (in better words the problem is described here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/10/7/905) The idea of the current patch is to use init_wait() instead of init_waitqueue_entry(). Internally init_wait() sets autoremove_wake_function as a callback, which removes the wait entry atomically (under the wq locks) from the list, thus the next coming wakeup hits the next wait entry in the wait queue, thus preventing lost wakeups. Problem is very well reproduced by the epoll60 test case [1]. Wait entry removal on wakeup has also performance benefits, because there is no need to take a ep->lock and remove wait entry from the queue after the successful wakeup. Here is the timing output of the epoll60 test case: With explicit wakeup from ep_scan_ready_list() (the state of the code prior 339ddb53d373): real 0m6.970s user 0m49.786s sys 0m0.113s After this patch: real 0m5.220s user 0m36.879s sys 0m0.019s The other testcase is the stress-epoll [2], where one thread consumes all the events and other threads produce many events: With explicit wakeup from ep_scan_ready_list() (the state of the code prior 339ddb53d373): threads events/ms run-time ms 8 5427 1474 16 6163 2596 32 6824 4689 64 7060 9064 128 6991 18309 After this patch: threads events/ms run-time ms 8 5598 1429 16 7073 2262 32 7502 4265 64 7640 8376 128 7634 16767 (number of "events/ms" represents event bandwidth, thus higher is better; number of "run-time ms" represents overall time spent doing the benchmark, thus lower is better) [1] tools/testing/selftests/filesystems/epoll/epoll_wakeup_test.c [2] https://github.com/rouming/test-tools/blob/master/stress-epoll.c Signed-off-by: Roman Penyaev <rpenyaev@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Reviewed-by: Jason Baron <jbaron@akamai.com> Cc: Khazhismel Kumykov <khazhy@google.com> Cc: Alexander Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Cc: Heiher <r@hev.cc> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200430130326.1368509-2-rpenyaev@suse.de Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2020-05-07eventpoll: fix missing wakeup for ovflist in ep_poll_callbackKhazhismel Kumykov1-9/+9
In the event that we add to ovflist, before commit 339ddb53d373 ("fs/epoll: remove unnecessary wakeups of nested epoll") we would be woken up by ep_scan_ready_list, and did no wakeup in ep_poll_callback. With that wakeup removed, if we add to ovflist here, we may never wake up. Rather than adding back the ep_scan_ready_list wakeup - which was resulting in unnecessary wakeups, trigger a wake-up in ep_poll_callback. We noticed that one of our workloads was missing wakeups starting with 339ddb53d373 and upon manual inspection, this wakeup seemed missing to me. With this patch added, we no longer see missing wakeups. I haven't yet tried to make a small reproducer, but the existing kselftests in filesystem/epoll passed for me with this patch.

2020-04-07fs/epoll: make nesting accounting safe for -rt kernelJason Baron1-21/+43
Davidlohr Bueso pointed out that when CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC is set ep_poll_safewake() can take several non-raw spinlocks after disabling interrupts. Since a spinlock can block in the -rt kernel, we can't take a spinlock after disabling interrupts. So let's re-work how we determine the nesting level such that it plays nicely with the -rt kernel. Let's introduce a 'nests' field in struct eventpoll that records the current nesting level during ep_poll_callback(). Then, if we nest again we can find the previous struct eventpoll that we were called from and increase our count by 1. The 'nests' field is protected by ep->poll_wait.lock. I've also moved the visited field to reduce the size of struct eventpoll from 184 bytes to 176 bytes on x86_64 for !CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC, which is typical for a production config.

2020-03-21epoll: fix possible lost wakeup on epoll_ctl() pathRoman Penyaev1-4/+4
This fixes possible lost wakeup introduced by commit a218cc491420. Originally modifications to ep->wq were serialized by ep->wq.lock, but in commit a218cc491420 ("epoll: use rwlock in order to reduce ep_poll_callback() contention") a new rw lock was introduced in order to relax fd event path, i.e. callers of ep_poll_callback() function. After the change ep_modify and ep_insert (both are called on epoll_ctl() path) were switched to ep->lock, but ep_poll (epoll_wait) was using ep->wq.lock on wqueue list modification. The bug doesn't lead to any wqueue list corruptions, because wake up path and list modifications were serialized by ep->wq.lock internally, but actual waitqueue_active() check prior wake_up() call can be reordered with modifications of ep ready list, thus wake up can be lost. And yes, can be healed by explicit smp_mb(): list_add_tail(&epi->rdlink, &ep->rdllist); smp_mb(); if (waitqueue_active(&ep->wq)) wake_up(&ep->wp); But let's make it simple, thus current patch replaces ep->wq.lock with the ep->lock for wqueue modifications, thus wake up path always observes activeness of the wqueue correcty.

2019-12-04epoll: simplify ep_poll_safewake() for CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOCJason Baron1-23/+13
Currently, ep_poll_safewake() in the CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC case uses ep_call_nested() in order to pass the correct subclass argument to spin_lock_irqsave_nested().

2019-07-18proc/sysctl: add shared variables for range checkMatteo Croce1-2/+2
In the sysctl code the proc_dointvec_minmax() function is often used to validate the user supplied value between an allowed range. This function uses the extra1 and extra2 members from struct ctl_table as minimum and maximum allowed value. On sysctl handler declaration, in every source file there are some readonly variables containing just an integer which address is assigned to the extra1 and extra2 members, so the sysctl range is enforced. The special values 0, 1 and INT_MAX are very often used as range boundary, leading duplication of variables like zero=0, one=1, int_max=INT_MAX in different source files: $ git grep -E '\.extra[12].*&(zero|one|int_max)' |wc -l 248 Add a const int array containing the most commonly used values, some macros to refer more easily to the correct array member, and use them instead of creating a local one for every object file.

I don't think this is required by posix, or fundamentally to : remove the races in select. It is what linux has always done and we have : applications who care so I agree this fix is needed. : : Further in any case where the semantic change that this patch rolls back : (aka where allowing a signal to be delivered and the select like call to : complete) would be advantage we can do as well if not better by using : signalfd. : : Michael is there any chance we can get this guarantee of the linux : implementation of pselect and friends clearly documented.

2019-03-07epoll: use rwlock in order to reduce ep_poll_callback() contentionRoman Penyaev1-36/+122
The goal of this patch is to reduce contention of ep_poll_callback() which can be called concurrently from different CPUs in case of high events rates and many fds per epoll. Problem can be very well reproduced by generating events (write to pipe or eventfd) from many threads, while consumer thread does polling. In other words this patch increases the bandwidth of events which can be delivered from sources to the poller by adding poll items in a lockless way to the list. The main change is in replacement of the spinlock with a rwlock, which is taken on read in ep_poll_callback(), and then by adding poll items to the tail of the list using xchg atomic instruction. Write lock is taken everywhere else in order to stop list modifications and guarantee that list updates are fully completed (I assume that write side of a rwlock does not starve, it seems qrwlock implementation has these guarantees). The following are some microbenchmark results based on the test [1] which starts threads which generate N events each. The test ends when all events are successfully fetched by the poller thread: spinlock ======== threads events/ms run-time ms 8 6402 12495 16 7045 22709 32 7395 43268 rwlock + xchg ============= threads events/ms run-time ms 8 10038 7969 16 12178 13138 32 13223 24199 According to the results bandwidth of delivered events is significantly increased, thus execution time is reduced. This patch was tested with different sort of microbenchmarks and artificial delays (e.g. "udelay(get_random_int() & 0xff)") introduced in kernel on paths where items are added to lists.

2019-03-07epoll: unify awaking of wakeup source on ep_poll_callback() pathRoman Penyaev1-8/+1
Original comment "Activate ep->ws since epi->ws may get deactivated at any time" indeed sounds loud, but it is incorrect, because the path where we check epi->ws is a path where insert to ovflist happens, i.e. ep_scan_ready_list() has taken ep->mtx and waits for this callback to finish, thus ep_modify() (which unregisters wakeup source) waits for ep_scan_ready_list(). Here in this patch I simply call ep_pm_stay_awake_rcu(), which is a bit extra for this path (indirectly protected by main ep->mtx, so even rcu is not needed), but I do not want to create another naked __ep_pm_stay_awake() variant only for this particular case, so rcu variant is just better for all the cases.

2019-03-07epoll: make sure all elements in ready list are in FIFO orderRoman Penyaev1-1/+5
Patch series "use rwlock in order to reduce ep_poll_callback() contention", v3. The last patch targets the contention problem in ep_poll_callback(), which can be very well reproduced by generating events (write to pipe or eventfd) from many threads, while consumer thread does polling. The following are some microbenchmark results based on the test [1] which starts threads which generate N events each. The test ends when all events are successfully fetched by the poller thread: spinlock ======== threads events/ms run-time ms 8 6402 12495 16 7045 22709 32 7395 43268 rwlock + xchg ============= threads events/ms run-time ms 8 10038 7969 16 12178 13138 32 13223 24199 According to the results bandwidth of delivered events is significantly increased, thus execution time is reduced. This patch (of 4): All coming events are stored in FIFO order and this is also should be applicable to ->ovflist, which originally is stack, i.e. LIFO. Thus to keep correct FIFO order ->ovflist should reversed by adding elements to the head of the read list but not to the tail.

2019-01-04fs/epoll: reduce the scope of wq lock in epoll_wait()Davidlohr Bueso1-54/+60
This patch aims at reducing ep wq.lock hold times in epoll_wait(2). For the blocking case, there is no need to constantly take and drop the spinlock, which is only needed to manipulate the waitqueue. The call to ep_events_available() is now lockless, and only exposed to benign races. Here, if false positive (returns available events and does not see another thread deleting an epi from the list) we call into send_events and then the list's state is correctly seen. Otoh, if a false negative and we don't see a list_add_tail(), for example, from irq callback, then it is rechecked again before blocking, which will see the correct state. In order for more accuracy to see concurrent list_del_init(), use the list_empty_careful() variant -- of course, this won't be safe against insertions from wakeup. For the overflow list we obviously need to prevent load/store tearing as we don't want to see partial values while the ready list is disabled.

2019-01-04fs/epoll: drop ovflist branch predictionDavidlohr Bueso1-1/+1
The ep->ovflist is a secondary ready-list to temporarily store events that might occur when doing sproc without holding the ep->wq.lock. This accounts for every time we check for ready events and also send events back to userspace; both callbacks, particularly the latter because of copy_to_user, can account for a non-trivial time. As such, the unlikely() check to see if the pointer is being used, seems both misleading and sub-optimal. In fact, we go to an awful lot of trouble to sync both lists, and populating the ovflist is far from an uncommon scenario. For example, profiling a concurrent epoll_wait(2) benchmark, with CONFIG_PROFILE_ANNOTATED_BRANCHES shows that for a two threads a 33% incorrect rate was seen; and when incrementally increasing the number of epoll instances (which is used, for example for multiple queuing load balancing models), up to a 90% incorrect rate was seen. Similarly, by deleting the prediction, 3% throughput boost was seen across incremental threads.

Patch series "epoll: some miscellaneous optimizations". The following are some incremental optimizations on some of the epoll core. Each patch has the details, but together, the series is seen to shave off measurable cycles on a number of systems and workloads. For example, on a 40-core IB, a pipetest as well as parallel epoll_wait() benchmark show around a 20-30% increase in raw operations per second when the box is fully occupied (incremental thread counts), and up to 15% performance improvement with lower counts. Passes ltp epoll related testcases. This patch(of 6): All callers pass the EP_MAX_NESTS constant already, so lets simplify this a tad and get rid of the redundant parameter for nested eventpolls.

2019-01-03Remove 'type' argument from access_ok() functionLinus Torvalds1-1/+1
Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand. It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any user access. But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact. A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model. And it's best done at the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's just get this done once and for all. This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form. There were a couple of notable cases: - csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias. - the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing really used it) - microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch. I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed something. Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2018-08-22fs/eventpoll.c: loosen irq safety in ep_poll()Davidlohr Bueso1-6/+7
Similar to other calls, ep_poll() is not called with interrupts disabled, and we can therefore avoid the irq save/restore dance and just disable local irqs.

2018-08-22fs/epoll: loosen irq safety in ep_scan_ready_list()Davidlohr Bueso1-5/+4
Patch series "fs/epoll: loosen irq safety when possible". Both patches replace saving+restoring interrupts when taking the ep->lock (now the waitqueue lock), with just disabling local irqs. This shows immediate performance benefits in patch 1 for an epoll workload running on Xen. The main concern we need to have with this sort of changes in epoll is the ep_poll_callback() which is passed to the wait queue wakeup and is done very often under irq context, this patch does not touch this call. Patches have been tested pretty heavily with the customer workload, microbenchmarks, ltp testcases and two high level workloads that use epoll under the hood: nginx and libevent benchmarks. This patch (of 2): Saving and restoring interrupts in ep_scan_ready_list() is an overkill as it is never called with interrupts disabled. Loosen this to simply disabling local irqs such that archs where managing irqs is expensive or virtual environments. This patch yields some throughput improvements on a workload that is epoll intensive running on a single Xen DomU. 1 Job 7500 --> 8800 enq/s (+17%) 2 Jobs 14000 --> 15200 enq/s (+8%) 3 Jobs 20500 --> 22300 enq/s (+8%) 4 Jobs 25000 --> 28000 enq/s (+8-12)% On bare metal: For a 2-socket 40-core (ht) IvyBridge on a few workloads, unfortunately I don't have a xen environment and the results for Xen I do have (which numbers are in patch 1) I don't have the actual workload, so cannot compare them directly. 1) Different configurations were used for a epoll_wait (pipes io) microbench (http://linux-scalability.org/epoll/epoll-test.c) and shows around a 7-10% improvement in overall total number of times the epoll_wait() loops when using both regular and nested epolls, so very raw numbers, but measurable nonetheless. # threads vanilla dirty 1 1677717 1805587 2 1660510 1854064 4 1610184 1805484 8 1577696 1751222 16 1568837 1725299 32 1291532 1378463 64 752584 787368 Note that stddev is pretty small. 2) Another pipe test, which shows no real measurable improvement.

2018-08-22epoll: use the waitqueue lock to protect ep->wqChristoph Hellwig1-36/+29
Patch series "waitqueue lockdep annotation", v3. This series adds a strategic lockdep_assert_held to __wake_up_common to ensure callers really do hold the wait_queue_head lock when calling the unlocked wake_up variants. It turns out epoll did not do this for a fairly common path (hit all the time by systemd during bootup), so the second patch fixed this instance as well. This patch (of 3): The epoll code currently uses the unlocked waitqueue helpers for managing ep->wq, but instead of holding the waitqueue lock around these calls, it uses its own ep->lock spinlock. Given that the waitqueue is not exposed to the rest of the kernel this actually works ok at the moment, but prevents the epoll locking rules from being enforced using lockdep. Remove ep->lock and use the waitqueue lock to not only reduce the size of struct eventpoll but also to make sure we can assert locking invariants in the waitqueue code.

2018-06-28Revert changes to convert to ->poll_mask() and aio IOCB_CMD_POLLLinus Torvalds1-10/+5
The poll() changes were not well thought out, and completely unexplained. They also caused a huge performance regression, because "->poll()" was no longer a trivial file operation that just called down to the underlying file operations, but instead did at least two indirect calls. Indirect calls are sadly slow now with the Spectre mitigation, but the performance problem could at least be largely mitigated by changing the "->get_poll_head()" operation to just have a per-file-descriptor pointer to the poll head instead. That gets rid of one of the new indirections. But that doesn't fix the new complexity that is completely unwarranted for the regular case. The (undocumented) reason for the poll() changes was some alleged AIO poll race fixing, but we don't make the common case slower and more complex for some uncommon special case, so this all really needs way more explanations and most likely a fundamental redesign.

2018-02-11vfs: do bulk POLL* -> EPOLL* replacementLinus Torvalds1-11/+11
This is the mindless scripted replacement of kernel use of POLL* variables as described by Al, done by this script: for V in IN OUT PRI ERR RDNORM RDBAND WRNORM WRBAND HUP RDHUP NVAL MSG; do L=`git grep -l -w POLL$V | grep -v '^t' | grep -v /um/ | grep -v '^sa' | grep -v '/poll.h$'|grep -v '^D'` for f in $L; do sed -i "-es/^\([^\"]*\)\(\<POLL$V\>\)/\\1E\\2/" $f; done done with de-mangling cleanups yet to come. NOTE! On almost all architectures, the EPOLL* constants have the same values as the POLL* constants do. But they keyword here is "almost". For various bad reasons they aren't the same, and epoll() doesn't actually work quite correctly in some cases due to this on Sparc et al. The next patch from Al will sort out the final differences, and we should be all done. Scripted-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2017-11-28eventpoll: no need to mask the result of epi_item_poll() againAl Viro1-7/+2
two callers that do so don't need to bother - we'd already masked it with epi->event.events, which * couldn't have changed since we are holding ->mtx * had been set to event->events * is still equal to event->events, since *event is never changed by anything.

__poll_t is also used as wait key in some waitqueues. Verify that wait_..._poll() gets __poll_t as key and provide a helper for wakeup functions to get back to that __poll_t value. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
