2015-10-08rcu: Enable stall warnings for synchronize_rcu_expedited()Paul E. McKenney1-2/+1
This commit redirects synchronize_rcu_expedited()'s wait to synchronize_sched_expedited_wait(), thus enabling RCU CPU stall warnings. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2015-10-08rcu: Add tasks to expedited stall-warning messagesPaul E. McKenney1-1/+1
This commit adds task-print ability to the expedited RCU CPU stall warning messages in preparation for adding stall warnings to synchornize_rcu_expedited(). Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2015-10-08rcu: Add online/offline info to expedited stall warning messagePaul E. McKenney3-1/+40
This commit makes the RCU CPU stall warning message print online/offline indications immediately after the CPU number. A "O" indicates global offline, a "." global online, and a "o" indicates RCU believes that the CPU is offline for the current grace period and "." otherwise, and an "N" indicates that RCU believes that the CPU will be offline for the next grace period, and "." otherwise, all right after the CPU number. So for CPU 10, you would normally see "10-...:" indicating that everything believes that the CPU is online. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

2015-10-08rcu: Stop excluding CPU hotplug in synchronize_sched_expedited()Paul E. McKenney1-13/+1
Now that synchronize_sched_expedited() uses IPIs, a hook in rcu_sched_qs(), and the ->expmask field in the rcu_node combining tree, it is no longer necessary to exclude CPU hotplug. Any races with CPU hotplug will be detected when attempting to send the IPI. This commit therefore removes the code excluding CPU hotplug operations. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2015-10-08rcu: Stop silencing lockdep false positive for expedited grace periodsPaul E. McKenney2-23/+2
This reverts commit af859beaaba4 (rcu: Silence lockdep false positive for expedited grace periods). Because synchronize_rcu_expedited() no longer invokes synchronize_sched_expedited(), ->exp_funnel_mutex acquisition is no longer nested, so the false positive no longer happens. This commit therefore removes the extra lockdep data structures, as they are no longer needed.
2015-10-08rcu: Switch synchronize_sched_expedited() to IPIPaul E. McKenney2-15/+20
This commit switches synchronize_sched_expedited() from stop_one_cpu_nowait() to smp_call_function_single(), thus moving from an IPI and a pair of context switches to an IPI and a single pass through the scheduler. Of course, if the scheduler actually does decide to switch to a different task, there will still be a pair of context switches, but there would likely have been a pair of context switches anyway, just a bit later.

2015-10-06rculist: Use WRITE_ONCE() when deleting from reader-visible listPaul E. McKenney3-5/+8
The various RCU list-deletion macros (list_del_rcu(), hlist_del_init_rcu(), hlist_del_rcu(), hlist_bl_del_init_rcu(), hlist_bl_del_rcu(), hlist_nulls_del_init_rcu(), and hlist_nulls_del_rcu()) do plain stores into the ->next pointer of the preceding list elemment. Unfortunately, the compiler is within its rights to (for example) use byte-at-a-time writes to update the pointer, which would fatally confuse concurrent readers. This patch therefore adds the needed WRITE_ONCE() macros. KernelThreadSanitizer (KTSAN) reported the __hlist_del() issue, which is a problem when __hlist_del() is invoked by hlist_del_rcu().

2015-10-06rculist: Make list_entry_rcu() use lockless_dereference()Patrick Marlier1-4/+1
The current list_entry_rcu() implementation copies the pointer to a stack variable, then invokes rcu_dereference_raw() on it. This results in an additional store-load pair. Now, most compilers will emit normal store and load instructions, which might seem to be of negligible overhead, but this results in a load-hit-store situation that can cause surprisingly long pipeline stalls, even on modern microprocessors. The problem is that it takes time for the store to get the store buffer updated, which can delay the subsequent load, which immediately follows. This commit therefore switches to the lockless_dereference() primitive, which does not expect the __rcu annotations (that are anyway not present in the list_head structure) and which, like rcu_dereference_raw(), does not check for an enclosing RCU read-side critical section. Most importantly, it does not copy the pointer, thus avoiding the load-hit-store overhead.

2015-10-06rcu: Finish folding ->fqs_state into ->gp_statePetr Mladek3-22/+12
Commit commit 4cdfc175c25c89ee ("rcu: Move quiescent-state forcing into kthread") started the process of folding the old ->fqs_state into ->gp_state, but did not complete it. This situation does not cause any malfunction, but can result in extremely confusing trace output. This commit completes this task of eliminating ->fqs_state in favor of ->gp_state. The old ->fqs_state was also used to decide when to collect dyntick-idle snapshots. For this purpose, we add a boolean variable into the kthread, which is set on the first call to rcu_gp_fqs() for a given grace period and clear otherwise.

Currently, __srcu_read_lock() cannot be invoked from restricted environments because it contains calls to preempt_disable() and preempt_enable(), both of which can invoke lockdep, which is a bad idea in some restricted execution modes. This commit therefore moves the preempt_disable() and preempt_enable() from __srcu_read_lock() to srcu_read_lock().

This commit makes the RCU CPU stall warning message print online/offline indications immediately after a hyphen following the CPU number. A "O" indicates that the global CPU-hotplug system believes that the CPU is online, a "o" that RCU perceived the CPU to be online at the beginning of the current expedited grace period, and an "N" that RCU currently believes that it will perceive the CPU as being online at the beginning of the next expedited grace period, with "." otherwise for all three indications. So for CPU 10, you would normally see "10-OoN:" indicating that everything believes that the CPU is online. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2015-10-06rcu: Eliminate panic when silly boot-time fanout specifiedPaul E. McKenney2-12/+17
This commit loosens rcutree.rcu_fanout_leaf range checks and replaces a panic() with a fallback to compile-time values. This fallback is accompanied by a WARN_ON(), and both occur when the rcutree.rcu_fanout_leaf value is too small to accommodate the number of CPUs. For example, given the current four-level limit for the rcu_node tree, a system with more than 16 CPUs built with CONFIG_FANOUT=2 must have rcutree.rcu_fanout_leaf larger than 2.

2015-10-06rcu: Don't disable preemption for Tiny and Tree RCU readersBoqun Feng3-2/+14
Because preempt_disable() maps to barrier() for non-debug builds, it forces the compiler to spill and reload registers. Because Tree RCU and Tiny RCU now only appear in CONFIG_PREEMPT=n builds, these barrier() instances generate needless extra code for each instance of rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock(). This extra code slows down Tree RCU and bloats Tiny RCU. This commit therefore removes the preempt_disable() and preempt_enable() from the non-preemptible implementations of __rcu_read_lock() and __rcu_read_unlock(), respectively. However, for debug purposes, preempt_disable() and preempt_enable() are still invoked if CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT=y, because this allows detection of sleeping inside atomic sections in non-preemptible kernels. However, Tiny and Tree RCU operates by coalescing all RCU read-side critical sections on a given CPU that lie between successive quiescent states. It is therefore necessary to compensate for removing barriers from __rcu_read_lock() and __rcu_read_unlock() by adding them to a couple of the RCU functions invoked during quiescent states, namely to rcu_all_qs() and rcu_note_context_switch(). However, note that the latter is more paranoia than necessity, at least until link-time optimizations become more aggressive. This is based on an earlier patch by Paul E. McKenney, fixing a bug encountered in kernels built with CONFIG_PREEMPT=n and CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT=y. Signed-off-by: Boqun Feng <boqun.feng@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

The bytewise side of this union allows individual access to indications as to whether this CPU needs to find a quiescent state for a normal (.norm) and/or expedited (.exp) grace period.

2015-09-21rcu: Move synchronize_sched_expedited() to combining treePaul E. McKenney2-42/+82
Currently, synchronize_sched_expedited() uses a single global counter to track the number of remaining context switches that the current expedited grace period must wait on. This is problematic on large systems, where the resulting memory contention can be pathological. This commit therefore makes synchronize_sched_expedited() instead use the combining tree in the same manner as synchronize_rcu_expedited(), keeping memory contention down to a dull roar. This commit creates a temporary function sync_sched_exp_select_cpus() that is very similar to sync_rcu_exp_select_cpus(). A later commit will consolidate these two functions, which becomes possible when synchronize_sched_expedited() switches from stop_one_cpu_nowait() to smp_call_function_single().

2015-09-21rcu: Use single-stage IPI algorithm for RCU expedited grace periodPaul E. McKenney3-70/+311
The current preemptible-RCU expedited grace-period algorithm invokes synchronize_sched_expedited() to enqueue all tasks currently running in a preemptible-RCU read-side critical section, then waits for all the ->blkd_tasks lists to drain. This works, but results in both an IPI and a double context switch even on CPUs that do not happen to be running in a preemptible RCU read-side critical section. This commit implements a new algorithm that causes less OS jitter. This new algorithm IPIs all online CPUs that are not idle (from an RCU perspective), but refrains from self-IPIs. If a CPU receiving this IPI is not in a preemptible RCU read-side critical section (or is just now exiting one), it pushes quiescence up the rcu_node tree, otherwise, it sets a flag that will be handled by the upcoming outermost rcu_read_unlock(), which will then push quiescence up the tree. The expedited grace period must of course wait on any pre-existing blocked readers, and newly blocked readers must be queued carefully based on the state of both the normal and the expedited grace periods. This new queueing approach also avoids the need to update boost state, courtesy of the fact that blocked tasks are no longer ever migrated to the root rcu_node structure. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2015-09-21rcu: Suppress lockdep false positive for rcp->exp_funnel_mutexPaul E. McKenney1-0/+5
In kernels built with CONFIG_PREEMPT=y, synchronize_rcu_expedited() invokes synchronize_sched_expedited() while holding RCU-preempt's root rcu_node structure's ->exp_funnel_mutex, which is acquired after the rcu_data structure's ->exp_funnel_mutex. The first thing that synchronize_sched_expedited() will do is acquire RCU-sched's rcu_data structure's ->exp_funnel_mutex. There is no danger of an actual deadlock because the locking order is always from RCU-preempt's expedited mutexes to those of RCU-sched. Unfortunately, lockdep considers both rcu_data structures' ->exp_funnel_mutex to be in the same lock class and therefore reports a deadlock cycle. This commit silences this false positive by placing RCU-sched's rcu_data structures' ->exp_funnel_mutex locks into their own lock class.

Commit 505a666ee3fc ("writeback: plug writeback in wb_writeback() and writeback_inodes_wb()") has us holding a plug during writeback_sb_inodes, which increases the merge rate when relatively contiguous small files are written by the filesystem. It helps both on flash and spindles. For an fs_mark workload creating 4K files in parallel across 8 drives, this commit improves performance ~9% more by unplugging before calling cond_resched(). cond_resched() doesn't trigger an implicit unplug, so explicitly getting the IO down to the device before scheduling reduces latencies for anyone waiting on clean pages. It also cuts down on how often we use kblockd to unplug, which means less work bouncing from one workqueue to another.

2015-09-18sched: access local runqueue directly in single_task_runningDominik Dingel1-4/+11
Commit 2ee507c47293 ("sched: Add function single_task_running to let a task check if it is the only task running on a cpu") referenced the current runqueue with the smp_processor_id. When CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT is enabled, that is only allowed if preemption is disabled or the currrent task is bound to the local cpu (e.g. kernel worker). With commit f78195129963 ("kvm: add halt_poll_ns module parameter") KVM calls single_task_running. If CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT is enabled that generates a lot of kernel messages. To avoid adding preemption in that cases, as it would limit the usefulness, we change single_task_running to access directly the cpu local runqueue.

2015-09-18revert "mm: make sure all file VMAs have ->vm_ops set"Andrew Morton1-8/+0
Revert commit 6dc296e7df4c "mm: make sure all file VMAs have ->vm_ops set". Will Deacon reports that it "causes some mmap regressions in LTP, which appears to use a MAP_PRIVATE mmap of /dev/zero as a way to get anonymous pages in some of its tests (specifically mmap10 [1])". William Shuman reports Oracle crashes. So revert the patch while we work out what to do. Reported-by: William Shuman <wshuman3@gmail.com> Reported-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com> Cc: Kirill A.

2015-09-18lib/string_helpers.c: fix infinite loop in string_get_size()Vitaly Kuznetsov1-1/+5
Some string_get_size() calls (e.g.: string_get_size(1, 512, STRING_UNITS_10, ..., ...) string_get_size(15, 64, STRING_UNITS_10, ..., ...) ) result in an infinite loop. The problem is that if size is equal to divisor[units]/blk_size and is smaller than divisor[units] we'll end up with size == 0 when we start doing sf_cap calculations: For string_get_size(1, 512, STRING_UNITS_10, ..., ...) case: ... remainder = do_div(size, divisor[units]); -> size is 0, remainder is 1 remainder *= blk_size; -> remainder is 512 ... size *= blk_size; -> size is still 0 size += remainder / divisor[units]; -> size is still 0 The caller causing the issue is sd_read_capacity(), the problem was noticed on Hyper-V, such weird size was reported by host when scanning collides with device removal. This is probably a separate issue worth fixing, this patch is intended to prevent the library routine from infinite looping.
