| * rcu: Allow for NULL tick_nohz_full_mask when nohz_full= missingPaul E. McKenney2014-07-161-3/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If there isn't a nohz_full= kernel parameter specified, then tick_nohz_full_mask can legitimately be NULL. This can cause problems when RCU's boot code tries to cpumask_or() this value into rcu_nocb_mask. In addition, if NO_HZ_FULL_ALL=y, there is no point in doing the cpumask_or() in the first place because this will cause RCU_NOCB_CPU_ALL=y, which in turn will have all bits already set in rcu_nocb_mask. This commit therefore avoids the cpumask_or() if NO_HZ_FULL_ALL=y and checks for !tick_nohz_full_running otherwise, this latter check catching cases when there was no nohz_full= kernel parameter specified.

| | | | * | rcu: Don't offload callbacks unless specifically requestedPaul E. McKenney2014-07-082-2/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Enabling NO_HZ_FULL currently has the side effect of enabling callback offloading on all CPUs. This results in lots of additional rcuo kthreads, and can also increase context switching and wakeups, even in cases where callback offloading is neither needed nor particularly desirable. This commit therefore enables callback offloading on a given CPU only if specifically requested at build time or boot time, or if that CPU has been specifically designated (again, either at build time or boot time) as a nohz_full CPU.

This clearly will not scale well: If you add enough CPUs, the RCU grace-period kthreads would get behind, increasing grace-period latency. To avoid this problem, this commit divides the NOCB kthreads into leaders and followers, where the grace-period kthreads awaken the leaders each of whom in turn awakens its followers. By default, the number of groups of kthreads is the square root of the number of CPUs, but this default may be overridden using the rcutree.rcu_nocb_leader_stride boot parameter. This reduces the number of wakeups done per grace period by the RCU grace-period kthread by the square root of the number of CPUs, but of course by shifting those wakeups to the leaders. In addition, because the leaders do grace periods on behalf of their respective followers, the number of wakeups of the followers decreases by up to a factor of two. Instead of being awakened once when new callbacks arrive and again at the end of the grace period, the followers are awakened only at the end of the grace period. For a numerical example, in a 4096-CPU system, the grace-period kthread would awaken 64 leaders, each of which would awaken its 63 followers at the end of the grace period. This compares favorably with the 79 wakeups for the grace-period kthread on an 80-CPU system. Reported-by: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

For more detail, see: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/6/3/395 for benchmark numbers https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/6/4/218 for CPU statistics It turns out that it is necessary to bind the grace-period kthreads to the timekeeping CPU only when all but CPU 0 is a nohz_full CPU on the one hand or if CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL_SYSIDLE=y on the other. In other cases, it suffices to bind the grace-period kthreads to the set of non-nohz_full CPUs. This commit therefore creates a tick_nohz_not_full_mask that is the complement of tick_nohz_full_mask, and then binds the grace-period kthread to the set of CPUs indicated by this new mask, which covers the CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL_SYSIDLE=n case.

| | * | rcu: Simplify priority boosting by putting rt_mutex in rcu_nodePaul E. McKenney2014-07-094-28/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | RCU priority boosting currently checks for boosting via a pointer in task_struct. However, this is not needed: As Oleg noted, if the rt_mutex is placed in the rcu_node instead of on the booster's stack, the boostee can simply check it see if it owns the lock. This commit makes this change, shrinking task_struct by one pointer and the kernel by thirteen lines. Suggested-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

| | * | rcu: Check both root and current rcu_node when setting up future grace periodPranith Kumar2014-07-091-2/+8

Which is pointless because we hold that rcu_node's ->lock at that point. The intent was to check the current rcu_node structure and the root rcu_node structure, the latter locklessly with ACCESS_ONCE(). This commit therefore makes that change. The reason that it is safe to locklessly check the root rcu_nodes's ->gpnum and ->completed fields is that we hold the current rcu_node's ->lock, which constrains the root rcu_node's ability to change its ->gpnum and ->completed fields. Of course, if there is a single rcu_node structure, then rnp_root==rnp, and holding the lock prevents all changes. If there is more than one rcu_node structure, then the code updates the fields in the following order: 1. Increment rnp_root->gpnum to start new grace period. 2. Increment rnp->gpnum to initialize the current rcu_node, continuing initialization for the new grace period. 3. Increment rnp_root->completed to end the current grace period. 4. Increment rnp->completed to continue cleaning up after the old grace period. So there are four possible combinations of relative values of these four fields: N N N N: RCU idle, new grace period must be initiated. Although rnp_root->gpnum might be incremented immediately after we check, that will just result in unnecessary work. The grace period already started, and we try to start it. N+1 N N N: RCU grace period just started. No further change is possible because we hold rnp->lock, so the checks of rnp_root->gpnum and rnp_root->completed are stable. We know that our request for a future grace period will be seen during grace-period cleanup. N+1 N N+1 N: RCU grace period is ongoing. Because rnp->gpnum is different than rnp->completed, we won't even look at rnp_root->gpnum and rnp_root->completed, so the possible concurrent change to rnp_root->completed does not matter. We know that our request for a future grace period will be seen during grace-period cleanup, which cannot pass this rcu_node because we hold its ->lock. N+1 N+1 N+1 N: RCU grace period has ended, but not yet been cleaned up. Because rnp->gpnum is different than rnp->completed, we won't look at rnp_root->gpnum and rnp_root->completed, so the possible concurrent change to rnp_root->completed does not matter. We know that our request for a future grace period will be seen during grace-period cleanup, which cannot pass this rcu_node because we hold its ->lock. Therefore, despite initial appearances, the lockless check is safe.

The rt_mutex_init_proxy_locked() function is used by the booster to initialize the lock as held by the boostee. The booster then uses rt_mutex_lock() to acquire this rt_mutex, which priority-boosts the boostee. When the boostee reaches the end of its outermost RCU read-side critical section, it checks a field in its task structure to see whether it has been boosted, and, if so, uses rt_mutex_unlock() to release the rt_mutex. The booster can then go on to boost the next task that is blocking the current RCU grace period. But reasonable implementations of rt_mutex_unlock() might result in the boostee referencing the rt_mutex's data after releasing it. But the booster might have re-initialized the rt_mutex between the time that the boostee released it and the time that it later referenced it. This is clearly asking for trouble, so this commit introduces a completion that forces the booster to wait until the boostee has completely finished with the rt_mutex, thus avoiding the case where the booster is re-initializing the rt_mutex before the last boostee's last reference to that rt_mutex. This of course does introduce some overhead, but the priority-boosting code paths are miles from any possible fastpath, and the overhead of executing the completion will normally be quite small compared to the overhead of priority boosting and deboosting, so this should be OK.

This can be confusing, as the casual reader might well assume that (for example) gcc might generate a memory-to-memory add instruction for each of these three cases. In fact, gcc will do no such thing. Also, there is a good chance that the kernel will move to separate load and store variants of ACCESS_ONCE(), and constructs like the above could easily confuse both people and scripts attempting to make that sort of change. Finally, most of RCU's read-modify-write uses of ACCESS_ONCE() really only need the store to be volatile, so that the read-modify-write form might be misleading. This commit therefore changes the above forms in RCU so that each instance of ACCESS_ONCE() either does a load or a store, but not both. In a few cases, ACCESS_ONCE() was not critical, for example, for maintaining statisitics. In these cases, ACCESS_ONCE() has been dispensed with entirely.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In kernels built with CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL, tick_do_timer_cpu is constant once boot completes. Thus, there is no need to wrap it in ACCESS_ONCE() in code that is built only when CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL. This commit therefore removes the redundant ACCESS_ONCE(). Signed-off-by: Paul E.

| * rcu: Reduce overhead of cond_resched() checks for RCUPaul E. McKenney2014-06-237-90/+125
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit ac1bea85781e (Make cond_resched() report RCU quiescent states) fixed a problem where a CPU looping in the kernel with but one runnable task would give RCU CPU stall warnings, even if the in-kernel loop contained cond_resched() calls. Unfortunately, in so doing, it introduced performance regressions in Anton Blanchard's will-it-scale "open1" test. The problem appears to be not so much the increased cond_resched() path length as an increase in the rate at which grace periods complete, which increased per-update grace-period overhead. This commit takes a different approach to fixing this bug, mainly by moving the RCU-visible quiescent state from cond_resched() to rcu_note_context_switch(), and by further reducing the check to a simple non-zero test of a single per-CPU variable. However, this approach requires that the force-quiescent-state processing send resched IPIs to the offending CPUs. These will be sent only once the grace period has reached an age specified by the boot/sysfs parameter rcutree.jiffies_till_sched_qs, or once the grace period reaches an age halfway to the point at which RCU CPU stall warnings will be emitted, whichever comes first.

| * rcu: Export debug_init_rcu_head() and and debug_init_rcu_head()Paul E. McKenney2014-06-232-2/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, call_rcu() relies on implicit allocation and initialization for the debug-objects handling of RCU callbacks. If you hammer the kernel hard enough with Sasha's modified version of trinity, you can end up with the sl*b allocators recursing into themselves via this implicit call_rcu() allocation. This commit therefore exports the debug_init_rcu_head() and debug_rcu_head_free() functions, which permits the allocators to allocated and pre-initialize the debug-objects information, so that there no longer any need for call_rcu() to do that initialization, which in turn prevents the recursion into the memory allocators.
