2013-07-14kernel: delete __cpuinit usage from all core kernel filesPaul Gortmaker1-2/+2
The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time") is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created with improper use of the various __init prefixes. After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone, we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h. This removes all the uses of the __cpuinit macros from C files in the core kernel directories (kernel, init, lib, mm, and include) that don't really have a specific maintainer.

2013-07-02Merge branch 'for-3.11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wqLinus Torvalds1-1/+25
Pull workqueue changes from Tejun Heo: "Surprisingly, Lai and I didn't break too many things implementing custom pools and stuff last time around and there aren't any follow-up changes necessary at this point. The only change in this pull request is Viresh's patches to make some per-cpu workqueues to behave as unbound workqueues dependent on a boot param whose default can be configured via a config option. This leads to higher processing overhead / lower bandwidth as more work items are bounced across CPUs; however, it can lead to noticeable powersave in certain configurations - ~10% w/ idlish constant workload on a big.LITTLE configuration according to Viresh. This is because per-cpu workqueues interfere with how the scheduler perceives whether or not each CPU is idle by forcing pinned tasks on them, which makes the scheduler's power-aware scheduling decisions less effective. Its effectiveness is likely less pronounced on homogenous configurations and this type of optimization can probably be made automatic; however, the changes are pretty minimal and the affected workqueues are clearly marked, so it's an easy gain for some configurations for the time being with pretty unintrusive changes." * 'for-3.11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq: fbcon: queue work on power efficient wq block: queue work on power efficient wq PHYLIB: queue work on system_power_efficient_wq workqueue: Add system wide power_efficient workqueues workqueues: Introduce new flag WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT for power oriented workqueues
2013-05-15workqueue: don't perform NUMA-aware allocations on offline nodes in wq_numa_init()Tejun Heo1-1/+2
wq_numa_init() builds per-node cpumasks which are later used to make unbound workqueues NUMA-aware. The cpumasks are allocated using alloc_cpumask_var_node() for all possible nodes. Unfortunately, on machines with off-line nodes, this leads to NUMA-aware allocations on existing bug offline nodes, which in turn triggers BUG in the memory allocation code. Fix it by using NUMA_NO_NODE for cpumask allocations for offline nodes. kernel BUG at include/linux/gfp.h:323! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP Modules linked in: CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 3.9.0+ #1 Hardware name: ProLiant BL465c G7, BIOS A19 12/10/2011 task: ffff880234608000 ti: ffff880234602000 task.ti: ffff880234602000 RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff8117495d>] [<ffffffff8117495d>] new_slab+0x2ad/0x340 RSP: 0000:ffff880234603bf8 EFLAGS: 00010246 RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: ffff880237404b40 RCX: 00000000000000d0 RDX: 0000000000000001 RSI: 0000000000000003 RDI: 00000000002052d0 RBP: ffff880234603c28 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: 0000000000000001 R10: 0000000000000001 R11: ffffffff812e3aa8 R12: 0000000000000001 R13: ffff8802378161c0 R14: 0000000000030027 R15: 00000000000040d0 FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff880237800000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 000000008005003b CR2: ffff88043fdff000 CR3: 00000000018d5000 CR4: 00000000000007f0 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000ffff0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 Stack: ffff880234603c28 0000000000000001 00000000000000d0 ffff8802378161c0 ffff880237404b40 ffff880237404b40 ffff880234603d28 ffffffff815edba1 ffff880237816140 0000000000000000 ffff88023740e1c0 Call Trace: [<ffffffff815edba1>] __slab_alloc+0x330/0x4f2 [<ffffffff81174b25>] kmem_cache_alloc_node_trace+0xa5/0x200 [<ffffffff812e3aa8>] alloc_cpumask_var_node+0x28/0x90 [<ffffffff81a0bdb3>] wq_numa_init+0x10d/0x1be [<ffffffff81a0bec8>] init_workqueues+0x64/0x341 [<ffffffff810002ea>] do_one_initcall+0xea/0x1a0 [<ffffffff819f1f31>] kernel_init_freeable+0xb7/0x1ec [<ffffffff815d50de>] kernel_init+0xe/0xf0 [<ffffffff815ff89c>] ret_from_fork+0x7c/0xb0 Code: 45 84 ac 00 00 00 f0 41 80 4d 00 40 e9 f6 fe ff ff 66 0f 1f 84 00 00 00 00 00 e8 eb 4b ff ff 49 89 c5 e9 05 fe ff ff <0f> 0b 4c 8b 73 38 44 89 ff 81 cf 00 00 20 00 4c 89 f6 48 c1 ee Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Reported-and-Tested-by: Lingzhu Xiang <lxiang@redhat.com>

2013-05-14workqueues: Introduce new flag WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT for power oriented workqueuesViresh Kumar1-0/+13
Workqueues can be performance or power-oriented. Currently, most workqueues are bound to the CPU they were created on. This gives good performance (due to cache effects) at the cost of potentially waking up otherwise idle cores (Idle from scheduler's perspective. Which may or may not be physically idle) just to process some work. To save power, we can allow the work to be rescheduled on a core that is already awake. Workqueues created with the WQ_UNBOUND flag will allow some power savings. However, we don't change the default behaviour of the system. To enable power-saving behaviour, a new config option CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT needs to be turned on. This option can also be overridden by the workqueue.power_efficient boot parameter. tj: Updated config description and comments. Renamed CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT to CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT_DEFAULT.

2013-05-10workqueue: workqueue_congested() shouldn't translate WORK_CPU_UNBOUND into node numberTejun Heo1-0/+9
df2d5ae499 ("workqueue: map an unbound workqueues to multiple per-node pool_workqueues") made unbound workqueues to map to multiple per-node pool_workqueues and accordingly updated workqueue_contested() so that, for unbound workqueues, it maps the specified @cpu to the NUMA node number to obtain the matching pool_workqueue to query the congested state. Before this change, workqueue_congested() ignored @cpu for unbound workqueues as there was only one pool_workqueue and some users (fscache) called it with WORK_CPU_UNBOUND. After the commit, this causes the following oops as WORK_CPU_UNBOUND gets translated to garbage by cpu_to_node().

2013-04-30workqueue: include workqueue info when printing debug dump of a worker taskTejun Heo1-0/+79
One of the problems that arise when converting dedicated custom threadpool to workqueue is that the shared worker pool used by workqueue anonimizes each worker making it more difficult to identify what the worker was doing on which target from the output of sysrq-t or debug dump from oops, BUG() and friends. This patch implements set_worker_desc() which can be called from any workqueue work function to set its description. When the worker task is dumped for whatever reason - sysrq-t, WARN, BUG, oops, lockdep assertion and so on - the description will be printed out together with the workqueue name and the worker function pointer. The printing side is implemented by print_worker_info() which is called from functions in task dump paths - sched_show_task() and dump_stack_print_info(). print_worker_info() can be safely called on any task in any state as long as the task struct itself is accessible. It uses probe_*() functions to access worker fields. It may print garbage if something went very wrong, but it wouldn't cause (another) oops. The description is currently limited to 24bytes including the terminating \0. worker->desc_valid and workder->desc[] are added and the 64 bytes marker which was already incorrect before adding the new fields is moved to the correct position. Here's an example dump with writeback updated to set the bdi name as worker desc.

2013-04-04workqueue: avoid false negative WARN_ON() in destroy_workqueue()Lai Jiangshan1-1/+1
destroy_workqueue() performs several sanity checks before proceeding with destruction of a workqueue. One of the checks verifies that refcnt of each pwq (pool_workqueue) is over 1 as at that point there should be no in-flight work items and the only holder of pwq refs is the workqueue itself. This worked fine as a workqueue used to hold only one reference to its pwqs; however, since 4c16bd327c ("workqueue: implement NUMA affinity for unbound workqueues"), a workqueue may hold multiple references to its default pwq triggering this sanity check spuriously. Fix it by not triggering the pwq->refcnt assertion on default pwqs. An example spurious WARN trigger follows.

2013-04-01Merge tag 'v3.9-rc5' into wq/for-3.10Tejun Heo1-25/+30
Writeback conversion to workqueue will be based on top of wq/for-3.10 branch to take advantage of custom attrs and NUMA support for unbound workqueues. Mainline currently contains two commits which result in non-trivial merge conflicts with wq/for-3.10 and because block/for-3.10/core is based on v3.9-rc3 which contains one of the conflicting commits, we need a pre-merge-window merge anyway. Let's pull v3.9-rc5 into wq/for-3.10 so that the block tree doesn't suffer from workqueue merge conflicts. The two conflicts and their resolutions: * e68035fb65 ("workqueue: convert to idr_alloc()") in mainline changes worker_pool_assign_id() to use idr_alloc() instead of the old idr interface. worker_pool_assign_id() goes through multiple locking changes in wq/for-3.10 causing the following conflict. static int worker_pool_assign_id(struct worker_pool *pool) { int ret; <<<<<<< HEAD lockdep_assert_held(&wq_pool_mutex); do { if (!idr_pre_get(&worker_pool_idr, GFP_KERNEL)) return -ENOMEM; ret = idr_get_new(&worker_pool_idr, pool, &pool->id); } while (ret == -EAGAIN); ======= mutex_lock(&worker_pool_idr_mutex); ret = idr_alloc(&worker_pool_idr, pool, 0, 0, GFP_KERNEL); if (ret >= 0) pool->id = ret; mutex_unlock(&worker_pool_idr_mutex); >>>>>>> c67bf5361e7e66a0ff1f4caf95f89347d55dfb89 return ret < 0 ? ret : 0; } We want locking from the former and idr_alloc() usage from the latter, which can be combined to the following. static int worker_pool_assign_id(struct worker_pool *pool) { int ret; lockdep_assert_held(&wq_pool_mutex); ret = idr_alloc(&worker_pool_idr, pool, 0, 0, GFP_KERNEL); if (ret >= 0) { pool->id = ret; return 0; } return ret; } * eb2834285c ("workqueue: fix possible pool stall bug in wq_unbind_fn()") updated wq_unbind_fn() such that it has single larger for_each_std_worker_pool() loop instead of two separate loops with a schedule() call inbetween. wq/for-3.10 renamed pool->assoc_mutex to pool->manager_mutex causing the following conflict (earlier function body and comments omitted for brevity). static void wq_unbind_fn(struct work_struct *work) { ... spin_unlock_irq(&pool->lock); <<<<<<< HEAD mutex_unlock(&pool->manager_mutex); } ======= mutex_unlock(&pool->assoc_mutex); >>>>>>> c67bf5361e7e66a0ff1f4caf95f89347d55dfb89 schedule(); <<<<<<< HEAD for_each_cpu_worker_pool(pool, cpu) ======= >>>>>>> c67bf5361e7e66a0ff1f4caf95f89347d55dfb89 atomic_set(&pool->nr_running, 0); spin_lock_irq(&pool->lock); wake_up_worker(pool); spin_unlock_irq(&pool->lock); } } The resolution is mostly trivial. We want the control flow of the latter with the rename of the former. static void wq_unbind_fn(struct work_struct *work) { ... spin_unlock_irq(&pool->lock); mutex_unlock(&pool->manager_mutex); schedule(); atomic_set(&pool->nr_running, 0); spin_lock_irq(&pool->lock); wake_up_worker(pool); spin_unlock_irq(&pool->lock); } } Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
2013-04-01workqueue: update sysfs interface to reflect NUMA awareness and a kernel param to disable NUMA affinityTejun Heo1-23/+59

Let's add some control knobs and update sysfs interface accordingly. * Add kernel param workqueue.numa_disable which disables NUMA affinity globally. * Replace sysfs file "pool_id" with "pool_ids" which contain node:pool_id pairs. This change is userland-visible but "pool_id" hasn't seen a release yet, so this is okay. * Add a new sysf files "numa" which can toggle NUMA affinity on individual workqueues. This is implemented as attrs->no_numa whichn is special in that it isn't part of a pool's attributes. It only affects how apply_workqueue_attrs() picks which pools to use. After "pool_ids" change, first_pwq() doesn't have any user left. Removed. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@cn.fujitsu.com>
2013-04-01workqueue: implement NUMA affinity for unbound workqueuesTejun Heo1-19/+259
Currently, an unbound workqueue has single current, or first, pwq (pool_workqueue) to which all new work items are queued. This often isn't optimal on NUMA machines as workers may jump around across node boundaries and work items get assigned to workers without any regard to NUMA affinity. This patch implements NUMA affinity for unbound workqueues. Instead of mapping all entries of numa_pwq_tbl[] to the same pwq, apply_workqueue_attrs() now creates a separate pwq covering the intersecting CPUs for each NUMA node which has online CPUs in @attrs->cpumask. Nodes which don't have intersecting possible CPUs are mapped to pwqs covering whole @attrs->cpumask. As CPUs come up and go down, the pool association is changed accordingly. Changing pool association may involve allocating new pools which may fail. To avoid failing CPU_DOWN, each workqueue always keeps a default pwq which covers whole attrs->cpumask which is used as fallback if pool creation fails during a CPU hotplug operation. This ensures that all work items issued on a NUMA node is executed on the same node as long as the workqueue allows execution on the CPUs of the node. As this maps a workqueue to multiple pwqs and max_active is per-pwq, this change the behavior of max_active. The limit is now per NUMA node instead of global. While this is an actual change, max_active is already per-cpu for per-cpu workqueues and primarily used as safety mechanism rather than for active concurrency control. Concurrency is usually limited from workqueue users by the number of concurrently active work items and this change shouldn't matter much. v2: Fixed pwq freeing in apply_workqueue_attrs() error path. Spotted by Lai. v3: The previous version incorrectly made a workqueue spanning multiple nodes spread work items over all online CPUs when some of its nodes don't have any desired cpus. Reimplemented so that NUMA affinity is properly updated as CPUs go up and down. This problem was spotted by Lai Jiangshan. v4: destroy_workqueue() was putting wq->dfl_pwq and then clearing it; however, wq may be freed at any time after dfl_pwq is put making the clearing use-after-free. Clear wq->dfl_pwq before putting it. v5: apply_workqueue_attrs() was leaking @tmp_attrs, @new_attrs and @pwq_tbl after success. Fixed. Retry loop in wq_update_unbound_numa_attrs() isn't necessary as application of new attrs is excluded via CPU hotplug. Removed. Documentation on CPU affinity guarantee on CPU_DOWN added.

2013-04-01workqueue: map an unbound workqueues to multiple per-node pool_workqueuesTejun Heo1-11/+37
Currently, an unbound workqueue has only one "current" pool_workqueue associated with it. It may have multple pool_workqueues but only the first pool_workqueue servies new work items. For NUMA affinity, we want to change this so that there are multiple current pool_workqueues serving different NUMA nodes. Introduce workqueue->numa_pwq_tbl[] which is indexed by NUMA node and points to the pool_workqueue to use for each possible node. This replaces first_pwq() in __queue_work() and workqueue_congested(). numa_pwq_tbl[] is currently initialized to point to the same pool_workqueue as first_pwq() so this patch doesn't make any behavior changes. v2: Use rcu_dereference_raw() in unbound_pwq_by_node() as the function may be called only with wq->mutex held.

2013-04-01workqueue: determine NUMA node of workers accourding to the allowed cpumaskTejun Heo1-2/+16
When worker tasks are created using kthread_create_on_node(), currently only per-cpu ones have the matching NUMA node specified. All unbound workers are always created with NUMA_NO_NODE. Now that an unbound worker pool may have an arbitrary cpumask associated with it, this isn't optimal. Add pool->node which is determined by the pool's cpumask. If the pool's cpumask is contained inside a NUMA node proper, the pool is associated with that node, and all workers of the pool are created on that node. This currently only makes difference for unbound worker pools with cpumask contained inside single NUMA node, but this will serve as foundation for making all unbound pools NUMA-affine.

2013-03-19workqueue: restore CPU affinity of unbound workers on CPU_ONLINETejun Heo1-5/+47
With the recent addition of the custom attributes support, unbound pools may have allowed cpumask which isn't full. As long as some of CPUs in the cpumask are online, its workers will maintain cpus_allowed as set on worker creation; however, once no online CPU is left in cpus_allowed, the scheduler will reset cpus_allowed of any workers which get scheduled so that they can execute. To remain compliant to the user-specified configuration, CPU affinity needs to be restored when a CPU becomes online for an unbound pool which doesn't currently have any online CPUs before. This patch implement restore_unbound_workers_cpumask(), which is called from CPU_ONLINE for all unbound pools, checks whether the coming up CPU is the first allowed online one, and, if so, invokes set_cpus_allowed_ptr() with the configured cpumask on all workers.

2013-03-19workqueue: directly restore CPU affinity of workers from CPU_ONLINETejun Heo1-128/+64
Rebinding workers of a per-cpu pool after a CPU comes online involves a lot of back-and-forth mostly because only the task itself could adjust CPU affinity if PF_THREAD_BOUND was set. As CPU_ONLINE itself couldn't adjust affinity, it had to somehow coerce the workers themselves to perform set_cpus_allowed_ptr(). Due to the various states a worker can be in, this led to three different paths a worker may be rebound. worker->rebind_work is queued to busy workers. Idle ones are signaled by unlinking worker->entry and call idle_worker_rebind(). The manager isn't covered by either and implements its own mechanism. PF_THREAD_BOUND has been relaced with PF_NO_SETAFFINITY and CPU_ONLINE itself now can manipulate CPU affinity of workers. This patch replaces the existing rebind mechanism with direct one where CPU_ONLINE iterates over all workers using for_each_pool_worker(), restores CPU affinity, and clears WORKER_UNBOUND. There are a couple subtleties. All bound idle workers should have their runqueues set to that of the bound CPU; however, if the target task isn't running, set_cpus_allowed_ptr() just updates the cpus_allowed mask deferring the actual migration to when the task wakes up. This is worked around by waking up idle workers after restoring CPU affinity before any workers can become bound. Another subtlety is stems from matching @pool->nr_running with the number of running unbound workers. While DISASSOCIATED, all workers are unbound and nr_running is zero. As workers become bound again, nr_running needs to be adjusted accordingly; however, there is no good way to tell whether a given worker is running without poking into scheduler internals. Instead of clearing UNBOUND directly, rebind_workers() replaces UNBOUND with another new NOT_RUNNING flag - REBOUND, which will later be cleared by the workers themselves while preparing for the next round of work item execution. The only change needed for the workers is clearing REBOUND along with PREP. * This patch leaves for_each_busy_worker() without any user. Removed. * idle_worker_rebind(), busy_worker_rebind_fn(), worker->rebind_work and rebind logic in manager_workers() removed. * worker_thread() now looks at WORKER_DIE instead of testing whether @worker->entry is empty to determine whether it needs to do something special as dying is the only special thing now.

This is because worker ID is needed when creating the actual task to name it and the new worker shouldn't be visible to iterations before fully initialized. * In destroy_worker(), ID removal is moved before kthread_stop().

PF_THREAD_BOUND was originally used to mark kernel threads which were bound to a specific CPU using kthread_bind() and a task with the flag set allows cpus_allowed modifications only to itself. Workqueue is currently abusing it to prevent userland from meddling with cpus_allowed of workqueue workers. What we need is a flag to prevent userland from messing with cpus_allowed of certain kernel tasks. In kernel, anyone can (incorrectly) squash the flag, and, for worker-type usages, restricting cpus_allowed modification to the task itself doesn't provide meaningful extra proection as other tasks can inject work items to the task anyway. This patch replaces PF_THREAD_BOUND with PF_NO_SETAFFINITY. sched_setaffinity() checks the flag and return -EINVAL if set. set_cpus_allowed_ptr() is no longer affected by the flag.

Currently, workqueue_lock protects most shared workqueue resources - the pools, workqueues, pool_workqueues, draining, ID assignments, mayday handling and so on. The coverage has grown organically and there is no identified bottleneck coming from workqueue_lock, but it has grown a bit too much and scheduled rebinding changes need the pools and workqueues to be protected by a mutex instead of a spinlock.
