* smp: Fix error case handling in smp_call_function_*()Linus Torvalds2015-04-191-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 8053871d0f7f ("smp: Fix smp_call_function_single_async() locking") fixed the locking for the asynchronous smp-call case, but in the process of moving the lock handling around, one of the error cases ended up not unlocking the call data at all. This went unnoticed on x86, because this is a "caller is buggy" case, where the caller is trying to call a non-existent CPU. But apparently ARM does that (at least under qemu-arm). Bindly doing cross-cpu calls to random CPU's that aren't even online seems a bit fishy, but the error handling was clearly not correct. Simply add the missing "csd_unlock()" to the error path.

* smp: Fix smp_call_function_single_async() lockingLinus Torvalds2015-04-171-31/+47
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current smp_function_call code suffers a number of problems, most notably smp_call_function_single_async() is broken. The problem is that flush_smp_call_function_queue() does csd_unlock() _after_ calling csd->func(). This means that a caller cannot properly synchronize the csd usage as it has to. Change the code to release the csd before calling ->func() for the async case, and put a WARN_ON_ONCE(csd->flags & CSD_FLAG_LOCK) in smp_call_function_single_async() to warn us of improper serialization, because any waiting there can results in deadlocks when called with IRQs disabled. Rename the (currently) unused WAIT flag to SYNCHRONOUS and (re)use it such that we know what to do in flush_smp_call_function_queue(). Rework csd_{,un}lock() to use smp_load_acquire() / smp_store_release() to avoid some full barriers while more clearly providing lock semantics. Finally move the csd maintenance out of generic_exec_single() into its callers for clearer code.

The distinction has been gone for many years now; however, the now duplicate two sets of accessors remained with the pointer based ones - this_cpu_*() - evolving various other operations over time. During the process, we also accumulated other inconsistent operations. This pull request contains Christoph's patches to clean up the duplicate accessor situation. __get_cpu_var() uses are replaced with with this_cpu_ptr() and __this_cpu_ptr() with raw_cpu_ptr(). Unfortunately, the former sometimes is tricky thanks to C being a bit messy with the distinction between lvalues and pointers, which led to a rather ugly solution for cpumask_var_t involving the introduction of this_cpu_cpumask_var_ptr(). This converts most of the uses but not all.

| * CPU hotplug, smp: flush any pending IPI callbacks before CPU offlineSrivatsa S. Bhat2014-06-241-8/+49
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is a race between the CPU offline code (within stop-machine) and the smp-call-function code, which can lead to getting IPIs on the outgoing CPU, *after* it has gone offline. Specifically, this can happen when using smp_call_function_single_async() to send the IPI, since this API allows sending asynchronous IPIs from IRQ disabled contexts. The exact race condition is described below. During CPU offline, in stop-machine, we don't enforce any rule in the _DISABLE_IRQ stage, regarding the order in which the outgoing CPU and the other CPUs disable their local interrupts. Due to this, we can encounter a situation in which an IPI is sent by one of the other CPUs to the outgoing CPU (while it is *still* online), but the outgoing CPU ends up noticing it only *after* it has gone offline. CPU 1 CPU 2 (Online CPU) (CPU going offline) Enter _PREPARE stage Enter _PREPARE stage Enter _DISABLE_IRQ stage = Got a device interrupt, and | Didn't notice the IPI the interrupt handler sent an | since interrupts were IPI to CPU 2 using | disabled on this CPU. smp_call_function_single_async() | = Enter _DISABLE_IRQ stage Enter _RUN stage Enter _RUN stage = Busy loop with interrupts | Invoke take_cpu_down() disabled. | and take CPU 2 offline = Enter _EXIT stage Enter _EXIT stage Re-enable interrupts Re-enable interrupts The pending IPI is noted immediately, but alas, the CPU is offline at this point. This of course, makes the smp-call-function IPI handler code running on CPU 2 unhappy and it complains about "receiving an IPI on an offline CPU". One real example of the scenario on CPU 1 is the block layer's complete-request call-path: __blk_complete_request() [interrupt-handler] raise_blk_irq() smp_call_function_single_async() However, if we look closely, the block layer does check that the target CPU is online before firing the IPI. So in this case, it is actually the unfortunate ordering/timing of events in the stop-machine phase that leads to receiving IPIs after the target CPU has gone offline. In reality, getting a late IPI on an offline CPU is not too bad by itself (this can happen even due to hardware latencies in IPI send-receive). It is a bug only if the target CPU really went offline without executing all the callbacks queued on its list. (Note that a CPU is free to execute its pending smp-call-function callbacks in a batch, without waiting for the corresponding IPIs to arrive for each one of those callbacks). So, fixing this issue can be broken up into two parts: 1. Ensure that a CPU goes offline only after executing all the callbacks queued on it. 2. Modify the warning condition in the smp-call-function IPI handler code such that it warns only if an offline CPU got an IPI *and* that CPU had gone offline with callbacks still pending in its queue. Achieving part 1 is straight-forward - just flush (execute) all the queued callbacks on the outgoing CPU in the CPU_DYING stage[1], including those callbacks for which the source CPU's IPIs might not have been received on the outgoing CPU yet. Once we do this, an IPI that arrives late on the CPU going offline (either due to the race mentioned above, or due to hardware latencies) will be completely harmless, since the outgoing CPU would have executed all the queued callbacks before going offline. Overall, this fix (parts 1 and 2 put together) additionally guarantees that we will see a warning only when the *IPI-sender code* is buggy - that is, if it queues the callback _after_ the target CPU has gone offline. [1]. The CPU_DYING part needs a little more explanation: by the time we execute the CPU_DYING notifier callbacks, the CPU would have already been marked offline. But we want to flush out the pending callbacks at this stage, ignoring the fact that the CPU is offline. So restructure the IPI handler code so that we can by-pass the "is-cpu-offline?" check in this particular case. (Of course, the right solution here is to fix CPU hotplug to mark the CPU offline _after_ invoking the CPU_DYING notifiers, but this requires a lot of audit to ensure that this change doesn't break any existing code; hence lets go with the solution proposed above until that is done).

* | irq_work: Implement remote queueingFrederic Weisbecker2014-06-161-0/+9
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | irq work currently only supports local callbacks. However its code is mostly ready to run remote callbacks and we have some potential user. The full nohz subsystem currently open codes its own remote irq work on top of the scheduler ipi when it wants a CPU to reevaluate its next tick. However this ad hoc solution bloats the scheduler IPI. Lets just extend the irq work subsystem to support remote queuing on top of the generic SMP IPI to handle this kind of user. This shouldn't add noticeable overhead.

* smp: print more useful debug info upon receiving IPI on an offline CPUSrivatsa S. Bhat2014-06-071-3/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is a longstanding problem related to CPU hotplug which causes IPIs to be delivered to offline CPUs, and the smp-call-function IPI handler code prints out a warning whenever this is detected. Every once in a while this (usually harmless) warning gets reported on LKML, but so far it has not been completely fixed. Usually the solution involves finding out the IPI sender and fixing it by adding appropriate synchronization with CPU hotplug. However, while going through one such internal bug reports, I found that there is a significant bug in the receiver side itself (more specifically, in stop-machine) that can lead to this problem even when the sender code is perfectly fine. This patchset fixes that synchronization problem in the CPU hotplug stop-machine code. Patch 1 adds some additional debug code to the smp-call-function framework, to help debug such issues easily. Patch 2 modifies the stop-machine code to ensure that any IPIs that were sent while the target CPU was online, would be noticed and handled by that CPU without fail before it goes offline. Thus, this avoids scenarios where IPIs are received on offline CPUs (as long as the sender uses proper hotplug synchronization). In fact, I debugged the problem by using Patch 1, and found that the payload of the IPI was always the block layer's trigger_softirq() function. But I was not able to find anything wrong with the block layer code. That's when I started looking at the stop-machine code and realized that there is a race-window which makes the IPI _receiver_ the culprit, not the sender. Patch 2 fixes that race and hence this should put an end to most of the hard-to-debug IPI-to-offline-CPU issues. This patch (of 2): Today the smp-call-function code just prints a warning if we get an IPI on an offline CPU. This info is sufficient to let us know that something went wrong, but often it is very hard to debug exactly who sent the IPI and why, from this info alone. In most cases, we get the warning about the IPI to an offline CPU, immediately after the CPU going offline comes out of the stop-machine phase and reenables interrupts. Since all online CPUs participate in stop-machine, the information regarding the sender of the IPI is already lost by the time we exit the stop-machine loop. So even if we dump the stack on each CPU at this point, we won't find anything useful since all of them will show the stack-trace of the stopper thread. So we need a better way to figure out who sent the IPI and why. To achieve this, when we detect an IPI targeted to an offline CPU, loop through the call-single-data linked list and print out the payload (i.e., the name of the function which was supposed to be executed by the target CPU). This would give us an insight as to who might have sent the IPI and help us debug this further.

* smp: Rename __smp_call_function_single() to smp_call_function_single_async()Frederic Weisbecker2014-02-241-6/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The name __smp_call_function_single() doesn't tell much about the properties of this function, especially when compared to smp_call_function_single(). The comments above the implementation are also misleading. The main point of this function is actually not to be able to embed the csd in an object. This is actually a requirement that result from the purpose of this function which is to raise an IPI asynchronously. As such it can be called with interrupts disabled. And this feature comes at the cost of the caller who then needs to serialize the IPIs on this csd. Lets rename the function and enhance the comments so that they reflect these properties.

* smp: Remove wait argument from __smp_call_function_single()Frederic Weisbecker2014-02-241-15/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The main point of calling __smp_call_function_single() is to send an IPI in a pure asynchronous way. By embedding a csd in an object, a caller can send the IPI without waiting for a previous one to complete as is required by smp_call_function_single() for example. As such, sending this kind of IPI can be safe even when irqs are disabled. This flexibility comes at the expense of the caller who then needs to synchronize the csd lifecycle by himself and make sure that IPIs on a single csd are serialized. This is how __smp_call_function_single() works when wait = 0 and this usecase is relevant. Now there don't seem to be any usecase with wait = 1 that can't be covered by smp_call_function_single() instead, which is safer. Lets look at the two possible scenario: 1) The user calls __smp_call_function_single(wait = 1) on a csd embedded in an object. It looks like a nice and convenient pattern at the first sight because we can then retrieve the object from the IPI handler easily. But actually it is a waste of memory space in the object since the csd can be allocated from the stack by smp_call_function_single(wait = 1) and the object can be passed an the IPI argument. Besides that, embedding the csd in an object is more error prone because the caller must take care of the serialization of the IPIs for this csd. 2) The user calls __smp_call_function_single(wait = 1) on a csd that is allocated on the stack. It's ok but smp_call_function_single() can do it as well and it already takes care of the allocation on the stack. Again it's more simple and less error prone. Therefore, using the underscore prepend API version with wait = 1 is a bad pattern and a sign that the caller can do safer and more simple. There was a single user of that which has just been converted. So lets remove this option to discourage further users.

It contains: - The new blk-mq request interface. This is a new and more scalable queueing model that marries the best part of the request based interface we currently have (which is fully featured, but scales poorly) and the bio based "interface" which the new drivers for high IOPS devices end up using because it's much faster than the request based one. The bio interface has no block layer support, since it taps into the stack much earlier. This means that drivers end up having to implement a lot of functionality on their own, like tagging, timeout handling, requeue, etc. The blk-mq interface provides all these. Some drivers even provide a switch to select bio or rq and has code to handle both, since things like merging only works in the rq model and hence is faster for some workloads. This is a huge mess. Conversion of these drivers nets us a substantial code reduction. Initial results on converting SCSI to this model even shows an 8x improvement on single queue devices. So while the model was intended to work on the newer multiqueue devices, it has substantial improvements for "classic" hardware as well. This code has gone through extensive testing and development, it's now ready to go. A pull request is coming to convert virtio-blk to this model will be will be coming as well, with more drivers scheduled for 3.14 conversion. - Two blktrace fixes from Jan and Chen Gang. - A plug merge fix from Alireza Haghdoost. - Conversion of __get_cpu_var() from Christoph Lameter. - Fix for sector_div() with 64-bit divider from Geert Uytterhoeven. - A fix for a race between request completion and the timeout handling from Jeff Moyer. This is what caused the merge conflict with blk-mq/core, in case you are looking at that. - A dm stacking fix from Mike Snitzer. - A code consolidation fix and duplicated code removal from Kent Overstreet. - A handful of block bug fixes from Mikulas Patocka, fixing a loop crash and memory corruption on blk cg. - Elevator switch bug fix from Tomoki Sekiyama. A heads-up that I had to rebase this branch. Initially the immutable bio_vecs had been queued up for inclusion, but a week later, it became clear that it wasn't fully cooked yet. So the decision was made to pull this out and postpone it until 3.14. It was a straight forward rebase, just pruning out the immutable series and the later fixes of problems with it.

* kernel: delete __cpuinit usage from all core kernel filesPaul Gortmaker2013-07-151-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

The workload has 10 threads, each thread sequentially accesses separate memory region. TLB flush overhead is very big in the workload. For each page, page reclaim need move it from active lru list and then unmap it. Both need a TLB flush. And this is a multthread workload, TLB flush happens in 10 CPUs. In X86, TLB flush uses generic smp_call)function. So this workload stress smp_call_function_many heavily. Without patch, perf shows: + 24.49% [k] generic_smp_call_function_interrupt - 21.72% [k] _raw_spin_lock - _raw_spin_lock + 79.80% __page_check_address + 6.42% generic_smp_call_function_interrupt + 3.31% get_swap_page + 2.37% free_pcppages_bulk + 1.75% handle_pte_fault + 1.54% put_super + 1.41% grab_super_passive + 1.36% __swap_duplicate + 0.68% blk_flush_plug_list + 0.62% swap_info_get + 6.55% [k] flush_tlb_func + 6.46% [k] smp_call_function_many + 5.09% [k] call_function_interrupt + 4.75% [k] default_send_IPI_mask_sequence_phys + 2.18% [k] find_next_bit swapout throughput is around 1300M/s. With the patch, perf shows: - 27.23% [k] _raw_spin_lock - _raw_spin_lock + 80.53% __page_check_address + 8.39% generic_smp_call_function_single_interrupt + 2.44% get_swap_page + 1.76% free_pcppages_bulk + 1.40% handle_pte_fault + 1.15% __swap_duplicate + 1.05% put_super + 0.98% grab_super_passive + 0.86% blk_flush_plug_list + 0.57% swap_info_get + 8.25% [k] default_send_IPI_mask_sequence_phys + 7.55% [k] call_function_interrupt + 7.47% [k] smp_call_function_many + 7.25% [k] flush_tlb_func + 3.81% [k] _raw_spin_lock_irqsave + 3.78% [k] generic_smp_call_function_single_interrupt swapout throughput is around 1400M/s. So there is around a 7% improvement, and total cpu utilization doesn't change. Without the patch, cfd_data is shared by all CPUs. generic_smp_call_function_interrupt does read/write cfd_data several times which will create a lot of cache ping-pong. With the patch, the data becomes per-cpu. The ping-pong is avoided. And from the perf data, this doesn't make call_single_queue lock contend. Next step is to remove generic_smp_call_function_interrupt() from arch code.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add the on_each_cpu_cond() function that wraps on_each_cpu_mask() and calculates the cpumask of cpus to IPI by calling a function supplied as a parameter in order to determine whether to IPI each specific cpu. The function works around allocation failure of cpumask variable in CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y by itereating over cpus sending an IPI a time via smp_call_function_single(). The function is useful since it allows to seperate the specific code that decided in each case whether to IPI a specific cpu for a specific request from the common boilerplate code of handling creating the mask, handling failures etc. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: s/gfpflags/gfp_flags/] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: avoid double-evaluation of `info' (per Michal), parenthesise evaluation of `cond_func'] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: s/CPU/CPUs, use all 80 cols in comment] Signed-off-by: Gilad Ben-Yossef <gilad@benyossef.com> Cc: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com> Cc: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux-foundation.org> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Russell King <linux@arm.linux.org.uk> Cc: Pekka Enberg <penberg@kernel.org> Cc: Matt Mackall <mpm@selenic.com> Cc: Sasha Levin <levinsasha928@gmail.com> Cc: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> Cc: Alexander Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Cc: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com> Acked-by: Michal Nazarewicz <mina86@mina86.org> Cc: Kosaki Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@gmail.com> Cc: Milton Miller <miltonm@bga.com> Reviewed-by: "Srivatsa S.

Still, kernel code will at times interrupt all CPUs in the system via IPIs for various needs. These IPIs are useful and cannot be avoided altogether, but in certain cases it is possible to interrupt only specific CPUs that have useful work to do and not the entire system. This patch set, inspired by discussions with Peter Zijlstra and Frederic Weisbecker when testing the nohz task patch set, is a first stab at trying to explore doing this by locating the places where such global IPI calls are being made and turning the global IPI into an IPI for a specific group of CPUs. The purpose of the patch set is to get feedback if this is the right way to go for dealing with this issue and indeed, if the issue is even worth dealing with at all. Based on the feedback from this patch set I plan to offer further patches that address similar issue in other code paths. This patch creates an on_each_cpu_mask() and on_each_cpu_cond() infrastructure API (the former derived from existing arch specific versions in Tile and Arm) and uses them to turn several global IPI invocation to per CPU group invocations. Core kernel: on_each_cpu_mask() calls a function on processors specified by cpumask, which may or may not include the local processor. You must not call this function with disabled interrupts or from a hardware interrupt handler or from a bottom half handler. arch/arm: Note that the generic version is a little different then the Arm one: 1. It has the mask as first parameter 2. It calls the function on the calling CPU with interrupts disabled, but this should be OK since the function is called on the other CPUs with interrupts disabled anyway. arch/tile: The API is the same as the tile private one, but the generic version also calls the function on the with interrupts disabled in UP case This is OK since the function is called on the other CPUs with interrupts disabled.

* generic-ipi: Fix kexec boot crash by initializing call_single_queue before ↵Takao Indoh2011-06-171-4/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | enabling interrupts There is a problem that kdump(2nd kernel) sometimes hangs up due to a pending IPI from 1st kernel. Kernel panic occurs because IPI comes before call_single_queue is initialized. To fix the crash, rename init_call_single_data() to call_function_init() and call it in start_kernel() so that call_single_queue can be initialized before enabling interrupts. The details of the crash are: (1) 2nd kernel boots up (2) A pending IPI from 1st kernel comes when irqs are first enabled in start_kernel(). (3) Kernel tries to handle the interrupt, but call_single_queue is not initialized yet at this point. As a result, in the generic_smp_call_function_single_interrupt(), NULL pointer dereference occurs when list_replace_init() tries to access &q->list.next. Therefore this patch changes the name of init_call_single_data() to call_function_init() and calls it before local_irq_enable() in start_kernel().

* smp_call_function_many: handle concurrent clearing of maskMilton Miller2011-03-181-3/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Mike Galbraith reported finding a lockup ("perma-spin bug") where the cpumask passed to smp_call_function_many was cleared by other cpu(s) while a cpu was preparing its call_data block, resulting in no cpu to clear the last ref and unlock the block. Having cpus clear their bit asynchronously could be useful on a mask of cpus that might have a translation context, or cpus that need a push to complete an rcu window. Instead of adding a BUG_ON and requiring yet another cpumask copy, just detect the race and handle it. Note: arch_send_call_function_ipi_mask must still handle an empty cpumask because the data block is globally visible before the that arch callback is made. And (obviously) there are no guarantees to which cpus are notified if the mask is changed during the call; only cpus that were online and had their mask bit set during the whole call are guaranteed to be called.

* call_function_many: add missing orderingMilton Miller2011-03-181-13/+33
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Paul McKenney's review pointed out two problems with the barriers in the 2.6.38 update to the smp call function many code. First, a barrier that would force the func and info members of data to be visible before their consumption in the interrupt handler was missing. This can be solved by adding a smp_wmb between setting the func and info members and setting setting the cpumask; this will pair with the existing and required smp_rmb ordering the cpumask read before the read of refs. This placement avoids the need a second smp_rmb in the interrupt handler which would be executed on each of the N cpus executing the call request. (I was thinking this barrier was present but was not). Second, the previous write to refs (establishing the zero that we the interrupt handler was testing from all cpus) was performed by a third party cpu. This would invoke transitivity which, as a recient or concurrent addition to memory-barriers.txt now explicitly states, would require a full smp_mb(). However, we know the cpumask will only be set by one cpu (the data owner) and any preivous iteration of the mask would have cleared by the reading cpu. By redundantly writing refs to 0 on the owning cpu before the smp_wmb, the write to refs will follow the same path as the writes that set the cpumask, which in turn allows us to keep the barrier in the interrupt handler a smp_rmb instead of promoting it to a smp_mb (which will be be executed by N cpus for each of the possible M elements on the list). I moved and expanded the comment about our (ab)use of the rcu list primitives for the concurrent walk earlier into this function. I considered moving the first two paragraphs to the queue list head and lock, but felt it would have been too disconected from the code.

* call_function_many: fix list delete vs add raceMilton Miller2011-03-181-7/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Peter pointed out there was nothing preventing the list_del_rcu in smp_call_function_interrupt from running before the list_add_rcu in smp_call_function_many. Fix this by not setting refs until we have gotten the lock for the list. Take advantage of the wmb in list_add_rcu to save an explicit additional one. I tried to force this race with a udelay before the lock & list_add and by mixing all 64 online cpus with just 3 random cpus in the mask, but was unsuccessful. Still, inspection shows a valid race, and the fix is a extension of the existing protection window in the current code.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | to init/main.c percpu may end up calling vfree() during early boot which in turn may call on_each_cpu() for TLB flushes. The function of on_each_cpu() can be done safely while IRQ is disabled during early boot but it assumed that the function is always called with local IRQ enabled which ended up enabling local IRQ prematurely during boot and triggering a couple of warnings. This patch updates on_each_cpu() and smp_call_function_many() such on_each_cpu() can be used safely while early_boot_irqs_disabled is set.

* | kernel/smp.c: consolidate writes in smp_call_function_interrupt()Milton Miller2011-01-211-10/+19

Presently we also clear the cpumask bit before executing the called function, which implies getting write access to the line. After the function is called we then decrement refs, and if they go to zero we then unlock the structure. However, this implies getting write access to the call function data before and after another the function is called. If we can assert that no smp_call_function execution function is allowed to enable interrupts, then we can move both writes to after the function is called, hopfully allowing both writes with one cache line bounce. On a 256 thread system with a kernel compiled for 1024 threads, the time to execute testcase in the "smp_call_function_many race" changelog was reduced by about 30-40ms out of about 545 ms. I decided to keep this as WARN because its now a buggy function, even though the stack trace is of no value -- a simple printk would give us the information needed.

How can this be? It turns out commit 54fdade1c3332391948ec43530c02c4794a38172 ("generic-ipi: make struct call_function_data lockless") is at fault. It removes locking from smp_call_function_many and in doing so creates a rather complicated race. The problem comes about because: - The smp_call_function_many interrupt handler walks call_function.queue without any locking. - We reuse a percpu data structure in smp_call_function_many. - We do not wait for any RCU grace period before starting the next smp_call_function_many. Imagine a scenario where CPU A does two smp_call_functions back to back, and CPU B does an smp_call_function in between. We concentrate on how CPU C handles the calls: CPU A CPU B CPU C CPU D smp_call_function smp_call_function_interrupt walks call_function.queue sees data from CPU A on list smp_call_function smp_call_function_interrupt walks call_function.queue sees (stale) CPU A on list smp_call_function int clears last ref on A list_del_rcu, unlock smp_call_function reuses percpu *data A data->cpumask sees and clears bit in cpumask might be using old or new fn! decrements refs below 0 set data->refs (too late!) The important thing to note is since the interrupt handler walks a potentially stale call_function.queue without any locking, then another cpu can view the percpu *data structure at any time, even when the owner is in the process of initialising it. The following test case hits the WARN_ON 100% of the time on my PowerPC box (having 128 threads does help :) #include <linux/module.h> #include <linux/init.h> #define ITERATIONS 100 static void do_nothing_ipi(void *dummy) { } static void do_ipis(struct work_struct *dummy) { int i; for (i = 0; i < ITERATIONS; i++) smp_call_function(do_nothing_ipi, NULL, 1); printk(KERN_DEBUG "cpu %d finished\n", smp_processor_id()); } static struct work_struct work[NR_CPUS]; static int __init testcase_init(void) { int cpu; for_each_online_cpu(cpu) { INIT_WORK(&work[cpu], do_ipis); schedule_work_on(cpu, &work[cpu]); } return 0; } static void __exit testcase_exit(void) { } module_init(testcase_init) module_exit(testcase_exit) MODULE_LICENSE("GPL"); MODULE_AUTHOR("Anton Blanchard"); I tried to fix it by ordering the read and the write of ->cpumask and ->refs. In doing so I missed a critical case but Paul McKenney was able to spot my bug thankfully :) To ensure we arent viewing previous iterations the interrupt handler needs to read ->refs then ->cpumask then ->refs _again_.
