* async: Adjust system_state checksThomas Gleixner2017-05-231-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To enable smp_processor_id() and might_sleep() debug checks earlier, it's required to add system states between SYSTEM_BOOTING and SYSTEM_RUNNING. Adjust the system_state check in async_run_entry_fn() and async_synchronize_cookie_domain() to handle the extra states.

* async: initialise list heads to fix crashJames Hogan2013-01-251-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 9fdb04cdc55 ("async: replace list of active domains with global list of pending items") added a struct list_head global_list in struct async_entry, which isn't initialised. This means that if !domain->registered at __async_schedule(), then list_del_init() will be called on the list head in async_run_entry_fn with both pointers NULL, causing a crash. This is fixed by initialising both the global_list and domain_list list_heads after kzalloc'ing the entry. This was noticed due to dapm_power_widgets() which uses ASYNC_DOMAIN_EXCLUSIVE, which initialises the domain->registered to 0.

* async: replace list of active domains with global list of pending itemsTejun Heo2013-01-231-34/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Global synchronization - async_synchronize_full() - is currently implemented by keeping a list of all active registered domains and syncing them one by one until no domain is active. While this isn't necessarily a complex scheme, it can easily be simplified by keeping global list of the pending items of all registered active domains instead of list of domains and simply using the globl pending list the same way as domain syncing. This patch replaces async_domains with async_global_pending and update lowest_in_progress() to use the global pending list if @domain is %NULL. async_synchronize_full_domain(NULL) is now allowed and equivalent to async_synchronize_full(). As no one is calling with NULL domain, this doesn't affect any existing users. async_register_mutex is no longer necessary and dropped.

* async: keep pending tasks on async_domain and remove async_pendingTejun Heo2013-01-231-49/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Async kept single global pending list and per-domain running lists. When an async item is queued, it's put on the global pending list. The item is moved to the per-domain running list when its execution starts. At this point, this design complicates execution and synchronization without bringing any benefit. The list only matters for synchronization which doesn't care whether a given async item is pending or executing. Also, global synchronization is done by iterating through all active registered async_domains, so the global async_pending list doesn't help anything either. Rename async_domain->running to async_domain->pending and put async items directly there and remove when execution completes. This simplifies lowest_in_progress() a lot - the first item on the pending list is the one with the lowest cookie, and async_run_entry_fn() doesn't have to mess with moving the item from pending to running. After the change, whether a domain is empty or not can be trivially determined by looking at async_domain->pending. Remove async_domain->count and use list_empty() on pending instead.

* async: use ULLONG_MAX for infinity cookie valueTejun Heo2013-01-231-5/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, next_cookie is used as the infinity value. In most cases, this should work fine but it theoretically could bring subtle behavior difference between async_synchronize_full() and async_synchronize_full_domain(). async_synchronize_full() keeps waiting until there's no registered async_entry left regardless of what next_cookie was when the function was called. It guarantees that the queue is completely drained at least once before returning. However, async_synchronize_full_domain() doesn't. It synchronizes upto next_cookie and if further async jobs are queued after the next_cookie value to synchronize is decided, they won't be waited for. For unrelated async jobs, the behavior difference doesn't matter; however, if async jobs which are related (nested or otherwise) to the executing ones are queued while sychronization is in progress, the resulting behavior difference could be problematic. This can be easily fixed by using ULLONG_MAX as the infinity value instead. Define ASYNC_COOKIE_MAX as ULLONG_MAX and use it as the infinity value for synchronization. This makes async_synchronize_full_domain() fully drain the domain at least once before returning, making its behavior match async_synchronize_full().

* async: bring sanity to the use of words domain and runningTejun Heo2013-01-231-34/+34
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the beginning, running lists were literal struct list_heads. Later on, struct async_domain was added. For some reason, while the conversion substituted list_heads with async_domains, the variable names weren't fully converted. In more places, "running" was used for struct async_domain while other places adopted new "domain" name. The situation is made much worse by having async_domain's running list named "domain" and async_entry's field pointing to async_domain named "running". So, we end up with mix of "running" and "domain" for variable names for async_domain, with the field names of async_domain and async_entry swapped between "running" and "domain". It feels almost intentionally made to be as confusing as possible.

While pending async jobs will be queued and dispatched for execution in the same order, nothing guarantees they'll enter "1) move self to the running queue" of async_run_entry_fn() in the same order. Before the conversion, async implemented its own worker pool. An async worker, upon being woken up, fetches the first item from the pending list, which kept the executing lists sorted. The conversion to workqueue was done by adding work_struct to each async_entry and async just schedules the work item. The queueing and dispatching of such work items are still in order but now each worker thread is associated with a specific async_entry and moves that specific async_entry to the executing list. So, depending on which worker reaches that point earlier, which is non-deterministic, we may end up moving an async_entry with larger cookie before one with smaller one. This broke __lowest_in_progress(). running->domain may not be properly sorted and is not guaranteed to contain lower cookies than pending list when not empty. Fix it by ensuring sort-inserting to the running list and always looking at both pending and running when trying to determine the lowest cookie. Over time, the async synchronization implementation became quite messy. We better restructure it such that each async_entry is linked to two lists - one global and one per domain - and not move it when execution starts. There's no reason to distinguish pending and running. They behave the same for synchronization purposes.

| * module, async: async_synchronize_full() on module init iff async is usedTejun Heo2013-01-161-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the default iosched is built as module, the kernel may deadlock while trying to load the iosched module on device probe if the probing was running off async. This is because async_synchronize_full() at the end of module init ends up waiting for the async job which initiated the module loading. async A modprobe 1. finds a device 2. registers the block device 3. request_module(default iosched) 4. modprobe in userland 5. load and init module 6. async_synchronize_full() Async A waits for modprobe to finish in request_module() and modprobe waits for async A to finish in async_synchronize_full(). Because there's no easy to track dependency once control goes out to userland, implementing properly nested flushing is difficult. For now, make module init perform async_synchronize_full() iff module init has queued async jobs as suggested by Linus. This avoids the described deadlock because iosched module doesn't use async and thus wouldn't invoke async_synchronize_full(). This is hacky and incomplete. It will deadlock if async module loading nests; however, this works around the known problem case and seems to be the best of bad options.

* [SCSI] async: make async_synchronize_full() flush all work regardless of domainDan Williams2012-07-201-2/+41
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In response to an async related regression James noted: "My theory is that this is an init problem: The assumption in a lot of our code is that async_synchronize_full() waits for everything ... even the domain specific async schedules, which isn't true." ...so make this assumption true. Each domain, including the default one, registers itself on a global domain list when work is scheduled. Once all entries complete it exits that list. Waiting for the list to be empty syncs all in-flight work across all domains. Domains can opt-out of global syncing if they are declared as exclusive ASYNC_DOMAIN_EXCLUSIVE(). All stack-based domains have been declared exclusive since the domain may go out of scope as soon as the last work item completes. Statically declared domains are mostly ok, but async_unregister_domain() is there to close any theoretical races with pending async_synchronize_full waiters at module removal time.

* include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo2010-03-301-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

* async: Fix lack of boot-time console due to insufficient synchronizationLinus Torvalds2009-06-081-10/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Our async work synchronization was broken by "async: make sure independent async domains can't accidentally entangle" (commit d5a877e8dd409d8c702986d06485c374b705d340), because it would report the wrong lowest active async ID when there was both running and pending async work. This caused things like no being able to read the root filesystem, resulting in missing console devices and inability to run 'init', causing a boot-time panic. This fixes it by properly returning the lowest pending async ID: if there is any running async work, that will have a lower ID than any pending work, and we should _not_ look at the pending work list. There were alternative patches from Jaswinder and James, but this one also cleans up the code by removing the pointless 'ret' variable and the unnecesary testing for an empty list around 'for_each_entry()' (if the list is empty, the for_each_entry() thing just won't execute).

This will cause lowest_running() to return the cookie of the first entry on the async_pending list, which might be nothing at all to do with the domain being asked for and thus cause the domain synchronization to wait for an unrelated domain. This can cause a deadlock if domain synchronization is used from one domain to wait for another.

* async: make async_synchronize_full() more serializingArjan van de Ven2009-01-081-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | turns out that there are real problems with allowing async tasks that are scheduled from async tasks to run after the async_synchronize_full() returns. This patch makes the _full more strict and a complete synchronization. Later I might need to add back a lighter form of synchronization for other uses.. but not right now.

* async: don't do the initcall stuff post bootArjan van de Ven2009-01-071-4/+4
| | | | | | | | while tracking the asynchronous calls during boot using the initcall_debug convention is useful, doing it once the kernel is done is actually bad now that we use asynchronous operations post boot as well... Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com>
* async: Asynchronous function calls to speed up kernel bootArjan van de Ven2009-01-071-0/+321
Right now, most of the kernel boot is strictly synchronous, such that various hardware delays are done sequentially. In order to make the kernel boot faster, this patch introduces infrastructure to allow doing some of the initialization steps asynchronously, which will hide significant portions of the hardware delays in practice. In order to not change device order and other similar observables, this patch does NOT do full parallel initialization. Rather, it operates more in the way an out of order CPU does; the work may be done out of order and asynchronous, but the observable effects (instruction retiring for the CPU) are still done in the original sequence.
