2013-03-20workqueue: add missing POOL_FREEZINGLai Jiangshan1-0/+3
get_unbound_pool() forgot to set POOL_FREEZING if workqueue_freezing is set and a new pool could go out of sync with the global freezing state. Fix it by adding POOL_FREEZING if workqueue_freezing. wq_mutex is already held so no further locking is necessary. This also removes the unused static variable warning when !CONFIG_FREEZER. tj: Updated commit message. Signed-off-by: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
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.

Make worker_ida an idr - worker_idr and use it to implement for_each_pool_worker() which will be used to simplify worker rebinding on CPU_ONLINE. pool->worker_idr is protected by both pool->manager_mutex and pool->lock so that it can be iterated while holding either lock. * create_worker() allocates ID without installing worker pointer and installs the pointer later using idr_replace(). 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().

2013-03-19sched: replace PF_THREAD_BOUND with PF_NO_SETAFFINITYTejun Heo1-7/+3
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. This will allow simplifying workqueue worker CPU affinity management.

2013-03-13workqueue: separate out pool and workqueue locking into wq_mutexTejun Heo1-69/+77
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. This patch breaks out pool and workqueue synchronization from workqueue_lock into a new mutex - wq_mutex. The followings are protected by wq_mutex. * worker_pool_idr and unbound_pool_hash * pool->refcnt * workqueues list * workqueue->flags, ->nr_drainers Most changes are mostly straight-forward. workqueue_lock is replaced with wq_mutex where applicable and workqueue_lock lock/unlocks are added where wq_mutex conversion leaves data structures not protected by wq_mutex without locking. irq / preemption flippings were added where the conversion affects them. Things worth noting are * New WQ and WR locking lables added along with assert_rcu_or_wq_mutex(). * worker_pool_assign_id() now expects to be called under wq_mutex. * create_mutex is removed from get_unbound_pool(). It now just holds wq_mutex. This patch shouldn't introduce any visible behavior changes. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

2013-03-13workqueue: better define locking rules around worker creation / destructionTejun Heo1-1/+12
When a manager creates or destroys workers, the operations are always done with the manager_mutex held; however, initial worker creation or worker destruction during pool release don't grab the mutex. They are still correct as initial worker creation doesn't require synchronization and grabbing manager_arb provides enough exclusion for pool release path. Still, let's make everyone follow the same rules for consistency and such that lockdep annotations can be added. Update create_and_start_worker() and put_unbound_pool() to grab manager_mutex around thread creation and destruction respectively and add lockdep assertions to create_worker() and destroy_worker().

2013-03-13workqueue: rename worker_pool->assoc_mutex to ->manager_mutexTejun Heo1-24/+38
Manager operations are currently governed by two mutexes - pool->manager_arb and ->assoc_mutex. The former is used to decide who gets to be the manager and the latter to exclude the actual manager operations including creation and destruction of workers. Anyone who grabs ->manager_arb must perform manager role; otherwise, the pool might stall. Grabbing ->assoc_mutex blocks everyone else from performing manager operations but doesn't require the holder to perform manager duties as it's merely blocking manager operations without becoming the manager. Because the blocking was necessary when [dis]associating per-cpu workqueues during CPU hotplug events, the latter was named assoc_mutex. The mutex is scheduled to be used for other purposes, so this patch gives it a more fitting generic name - manager_mutex - and updates / adds comments to explain synchronization around the manager role and operations.

Since 9e8cd2f589 ("workqueue: implement apply_workqueue_attrs()"), init_and_link_pwq() may be called to initialize a new pool_workqueue for a workqueue which is already online, but the function was setting pwq->max_active to wq->saved_max_active without proper synchronization.

There are cases where workqueue users want to expose control knobs to userland. e.g. Unbound workqueues with custom attributes are scheduled to be used for writeback workers and depending on configuration it can be useful to allow admins to tinker with the priority or allowed CPUs. This patch implements workqueue_sysfs_register(), which makes the workqueue visible under /sys/bus/workqueue/devices/WQ_NAME. There currently are two attributes common to both per-cpu and unbound pools and extra attributes for unbound pools including nice level and cpumask. If alloc_workqueue*() is called with WQ_SYSFS, workqueue_sysfs_register() is called automatically as part of workqueue creation. This is the preferred method unless the workqueue user wants to apply workqueue_attrs before making the workqueue visible to userland. v2: Disallow exposing ordered workqueues as ordered workqueues can't be tuned in any way.

Implement apply_workqueue_attrs() which applies workqueue_attrs to the specified unbound workqueue by creating a new pwq (pool_workqueue) linked to worker_pool with the specified attributes. A new pwq is linked at the head of wq->pwqs instead of tail and __queue_work() verifies that the first unbound pwq has positive refcnt before choosing it for the actual queueing. This is to cover the case where creation of a new pwq races with queueing. As base ref on a pwq won't be dropped without making another pwq the first one, __queue_work() is guaranteed to make progress and not add work item to a dead pwq. init_and_link_pwq() is updated to return the last first pwq the new pwq replaced, which is put by apply_workqueue_attrs(). Note that apply_workqueue_attrs() is almost identical to unbound pwq part of alloc_and_link_pwqs(). The only difference is that there is no previous first pwq. apply_workqueue_attrs() is implemented to handle such cases and replaces unbound pwq handling in alloc_and_link_pwqs().

Because per-cpu workqueues have multiple pwqs (pool_workqueues) to serve the CPUs, to guarantee that a single work item isn't queued on one pwq while still executing another, __queue_work() takes a look at the previous pool the target work item was on and if it's still executing there, queue the work item on that pool. To support changing workqueue_attrs on the fly, unbound workqueues too will have multiple pwqs and thus need non-reentrancy test when queueing. This patch modifies __queue_work() such that the reentrancy test is performed regardless of the workqueue type. per_cpu_ptr(wq->cpu_pwqs, cpu) used to be used to determine the matching pwq for the last pool.

Add pool_workqueue->refcnt along with get/put_pwq(). Both per-cpu and unbound pwqs have refcnts and any work item inserted on a pwq increments the refcnt which is dropped when the work item finishes. For per-cpu pwqs the base ref is never dropped and destroy_workqueue() frees the pwqs as before. For unbound ones, destroy_workqueue() simply drops the base ref on the first pwq. When the refcnt reaches zero, pwq_unbound_release_workfn() is scheduled on system_wq, which unlinks the pwq, puts the associated pool and frees the pwq and wq as necessary. This needs to be done from a work item as put_pwq() needs to be protected by pool->lock but release can't happen with the lock held - e.g. put_unbound_pool() involves blocking operations. Unbound pool->locks are marked with lockdep subclas 1 as put_pwq() will schedule the release work item on system_wq while holding the unbound pool's lock and triggers recursive locking warning spuriously.

This patch makes unbound worker_pools reference counted and dynamically created and destroyed as workqueues needing them come and go. All unbound worker_pools are hashed on unbound_pool_hash which is keyed by the content of worker_pool->attrs. When an unbound workqueue is allocated, get_unbound_pool() is called with the attributes of the workqueue. If there already is a matching worker_pool, the reference count is bumped and the pool is returned. If not, a new worker_pool with matching attributes is created and returned. When an unbound workqueue is destroyed, put_unbound_pool() is called which decrements the reference count of the associated worker_pool. If the refcnt reaches zero, the worker_pool is destroyed in sched-RCU safe way. Note that the standard unbound worker_pools - normal and highpri ones with no specific cpumask affinity - are no longer created explicitly during init_workqueues(). init_workqueues() only initializes workqueue_attrs to be used for standard unbound pools - unbound_std_wq_attrs[]. The pools are spawned on demand as workqueues are created. v2: - Comment added to init_worker_pool() explaining that @pool should be in a condition which can be passed to put_unbound_pool() even on failure. - pool->refcnt reaching zero and the pool being removed from unbound_pool_hash should be dynamic. pool->refcnt is converted to int from atomic_t and now manipulated inside workqueue_lock. - Removed an incorrect sanity check on nr_idle in put_unbound_pool() which may trigger spuriously.

2013-03-12workqueue: update synchronization rules on worker_pool_idrTejun Heo1-25/+46
Make worker_pool_idr protected by workqueue_lock for writes and sched-RCU protected for reads. Lockdep assertions are added to for_each_pool() and get_work_pool() and all their users are converted to either hold workqueue_lock or disable preemption/irq. worker_pool_assign_id() is updated to hold workqueue_lock when allocating a pool ID. As idr_get_new() always performs RCU-safe assignment, this is enough on the writer side. As standard pools are never destroyed, there's nothing to do on that side. The locking is superflous at this point. This is to help implementation of unbound pools/pwqs with custom attributes. This patch doesn't introduce any behavior changes. v2: Updated for_each_pwq() use if/else for the hidden assertion statement instead of just if as suggested by Lai. This avoids confusing the following else clause. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@cn.fujitsu.com>

Make workqueue->pwqs protected by workqueue_lock for writes and sched-RCU protected for reads. Lockdep assertions are added to for_each_pwq() and first_pwq() and all their users are converted to either hold workqueue_lock or disable preemption/irq. alloc_and_link_pwqs() is updated to use list_add_tail_rcu() for consistency which isn't strictly necessary as the workqueue isn't visible. destroy_workqueue() isn't updated to sched-RCU release pwqs. This is okay as the workqueue should have on users left by that point. The locking is superflous at this point. This is to help implementation of unbound pools/pwqs with custom attributes.

2013-03-12workqueue: replace get_pwq() with explicit per_cpu_ptr() accesses and first_pwq()Tejun Heo1-15/+14
get_pwq() takes @cpu, which can also be WORK_CPU_UNBOUND, and @wq and returns the matching pwq (pool_workqueue). We want to move away from using @cpu for identifying pools and pwqs for unbound pools with custom attributes and there is only one user - workqueue_congested() - which makes use of the WQ_UNBOUND conditional in get_pwq(). All other users already know whether they're dealing with a per-cpu or unbound workqueue. Replace get_pwq() with explicit per_cpu_ptr(wq->cpu_pwqs, cpu) for per-cpu workqueues and first_pwq() for unbound ones, and open-code WQ_UNBOUND conditional in workqueue_congested(). Note that this makes workqueue_congested() behave sligntly differently when @cpu other than WORK_CPU_UNBOUND is specified. It ignores @cpu for unbound workqueues and always uses the first pwq instead of oopsing. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@cn.fujitsu.com>
2013-03-12workqueue: remove workqueue_struct->pool_wq.singleTejun Heo1-14/+12
workqueue->pool_wq union is used to point either to percpu pwqs (pool_workqueues) or single unbound pwq. As the first pwq can be accessed via workqueue->pwqs list, there's no reason for the single pointer anymore. Use list_first_entry(workqueue->pwqs) to access the unbound pwq and drop workqueue->pool_wq.single pointer and the pool_wq union. It simplifies the code and eases implementing multiple unbound pools w/ custom attributes. This patch doesn't introduce any visible behavior changes.

2013-03-12workqueue: add wokrqueue_struct->maydays list to replace mayday cpu iteratorsTejun Heo1-49/+28
Similar to how pool_workqueue iteration used to be, raising and servicing mayday requests is based on CPU numbers. It's hairy because cpumask_t may not be able to handle WORK_CPU_UNBOUND and cpumasks are assumed to be always set on UP. This is ugly and can't handle multiple unbound pools to be added for unbound workqueues w/ custom attributes. Add workqueue_struct->maydays. When a pool_workqueue needs rescuing, it gets chained on the list through pool_workqueue->mayday_node and rescuer_thread() consumes the list until it's empty.

2013-03-12workqueue: restructure pool / pool_workqueue iterations in freeze/thaw functionsTejun Heo1-42/+45
The three freeze/thaw related functions - freeze_workqueues_begin(), freeze_workqueues_busy() and thaw_workqueues() - need to iterate through all pool_workqueues of all freezable workqueues. They did it by first iterating pools and then visiting all pwqs (pool_workqueues) of all workqueues and process it if its pwq->pool matches the current pool. This is rather backwards and done this way partly because workqueue didn't have fitting iteration helpers and partly to avoid the number of lock operations on pool->lock. Workqueue now has fitting iterators and the locking operation overhead isn't anything to worry about - those locks are unlikely to be contended and the same CPU visiting the same set of locks multiple times isn't expensive. Restructure the three functions such that the flow better matches the logical steps and pwq iteration is done using for_each_pwq() inside workqueue iteration. * freeze_workqueues_begin(): Setting of FREEZING is moved into a separate for_each_pool() iteration. pwq iteration for clearing max_active is updated as described above. * freeze_workqueues_busy(): pwq iteration updated as described above. * thaw_workqueues(): The single for_each_wq_cpu() iteration is broken into three discrete steps - clearing FREEZING, restoring max_active, and kicking workers. The first and last steps use for_each_pool() and the second step uses pwq iteration described above. This makes the code easier to understand and removes the use of for_each_wq_cpu() for walking pwqs, which can't support multiple unbound pwqs which will be needed to implement unbound workqueues with custom attributes.

Introduce for_each_pwq() which iterates all pool_workqueues of a workqueue using the recently added workqueue->pwqs list and replace for_each_pwq_cpu() usages with it. This is primarily to remove the single unbound CPU assumption from pwq iteration for the scheduled unbound pools with custom attributes support which would introduce multiple unbound pwqs per workqueue; however, it also simplifies iterator users. Note that pwq->pool initialization is moved to alloc_and_link_pwqs() as that now is the only place which is explicitly handling the two pwq types.

2013-03-12workqueue: introduce kmem_cache for pool_workqueuesTejun Heo1-31/+12
pool_workqueues need to be aligned to 1 << WORK_STRUCT_FLAG_BITS as the lower bits of work->data are used for flags when they're pointing to pool_workqueues. Due to historical reasons, unbound pool_workqueues are allocated using kzalloc() with sufficient buffer area for alignment and aligned manually. The original pointer is stored at the end which free_pwqs() retrieves when freeing it. There's no reason for this hackery anymore. Set alignment of struct pool_workqueue to 1 << WORK_STRUCT_FLAG_BITS, add kmem_cache for pool_workqueues with proper alignment and replace the hacky alloc and free implementation with plain kmem_cache_zalloc/free(). In case WORK_STRUCT_FLAG_BITS gets shrunk too much and makes fields of pool_workqueues misaligned, trigger WARN if the alignment of struct pool_workqueue becomes smaller than that of long long. Note that assertion on IS_ALIGNED() is removed from alloc_pwqs(). We already have another one in pwq init loop in __alloc_workqueue_key(). This patch doesn't introduce any visible behavior changes.
