* posix_types.h: Cleanup stale __NFDBITS and related definitionsJosh Boyer2012-07-261-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Recently, glibc made a change to suppress sign-conversion warnings in FD_SET (glibc commit ceb9e56b3d1). This uncovered an issue with the kernel's definition of __NFDBITS if applications #include <linux/types.h> after including <sys/select.h>. A build failure would be seen when passing the -Werror=sign-compare and -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 flags to gcc. It was suggested that the kernel should either match the glibc definition of __NFDBITS or remove that entirely. The current in-kernel uses of __NFDBITS can be replaced with BITS_PER_LONG, and there are no uses of the related __FDELT and __FDMASK defines. Given that, we'll continue the cleanup that was started with commit 8b3d1cda4f5f ("posix_types: Remove fd_set macros") and drop the remaining unused macros. Additionally, linux/time.h has similar macros defined that expand to nothing so we'll remove those at the same time.

| * sched: Fix race in task_group()Peter Zijlstra2012-07-242-14/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Stefan reported a crash on a kernel before a3e5d1091c1 ("sched: Don't call task_group() too many times in set_task_rq()"), he found the reason to be that the multiple task_group() invocations in set_task_rq() returned different values. Looking at all that I found a lack of serialization and plain wrong comments. The below tries to fix it using an extra pointer which is updated under the appropriate scheduler locks. Its not pretty, but I can't really see another way given how all the cgroup stuff works.

| * sched: Improve balance_cpu() to consider other cpus in its group as target ↵Srivatsa Vaddagiri2012-07-241-4/+74
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | of (pinned) task Current load balance scheme requires only one cpu in a sched_group (balance_cpu) to look at other peer sched_groups for imbalance and pull tasks towards itself from a busy cpu. Tasks thus pulled by balance_cpu could later get picked up by cpus that are in the same sched_group as that of balance_cpu. This scheme however fails to pull tasks that are not allowed to run on balance_cpu (but are allowed to run on other cpus in its sched_group). That can affect fairness and in some worst case scenarios cause starvation. Consider a two core (2 threads/core) system running tasks as below: Core0 Core1 / \ / \ C0 C1 C2 C3 | | | | v v v v F0 T1 F1 [idle] T2 F0 = SCHED_FIFO task (pinned to C0) F1 = SCHED_FIFO task (pinned to C2) T1 = SCHED_OTHER task (pinned to C1) T2 = SCHED_OTHER task (pinned to C1 and C2) F1 could become a cpu hog, which will starve T2 unless C1 pulls it. Between C0 and C1 however, C0 is required to look for imbalance between cores, which will fail to pull T2 towards Core0. T2 will starve eternally in this case. The same scenario can arise in presence of non-rt tasks as well (say we replace F1 with high irq load). We tackle this problem by having balance_cpu move pinned tasks to one of its sibling cpus (where they can run). We first check if load balance goal can be met by ignoring pinned tasks, failing which we retry move_tasks() with a new env->dst_cpu. This patch modifies load balance semantics on who can move load towards a given cpu in a given sched_domain. Before this patch, a given_cpu or a ilb_cpu acting on behalf of an idle given_cpu is responsible for moving load to given_cpu. With this patch applied, balance_cpu can in addition decide on moving some load to a given_cpu. There is a remote possibility that excess load could get moved as a result of this (balance_cpu and given_cpu/ilb_cpu deciding *independently* and at *same* time to move some load to a given_cpu). However we should see less of such conflicting decisions in practice and moreover subsequent load balance cycles should correct the excess load moved to given_cpu.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Separate out the cpuset related handling for CPU/Memory online/offline. This also helps us exploit the most obvious and basic level of optimization that any notification mechanism (CPU/Mem online/offline) has to offer us: "We *know* why we have been invoked. So stop pretending that we are lost, and do only the necessary amount of processing!". And while at it, rename scan_for_empty_cpusets() to scan_cpusets_upon_hotplug(), which is more appropriate considering how it is restructured. Signed-off-by: Srivatsa S.

| * cpusets, hotplug: Implement cpuset tree traversal in a helper functionSrivatsa S. Bhat2012-07-241-9/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | At present, the functions that deal with cpusets during CPU/Mem hotplug are quite messy, since a lot of the functionality is mixed up without clear separation. And this takes a toll on optimization as well. For example, the function cpuset_update_active_cpus() is called on both CPU offline and CPU online events; and it invokes scan_for_empty_cpusets(), which makes sense only for CPU offline events. And hence, the current code ends up unnecessarily traversing the cpuset tree during CPU online also. As a first step towards cleaning up those functions, encapsulate the cpuset tree traversal in a helper function, so as to facilitate upcoming changes. Signed-off-by: Srivatsa S.

| * CPU hotplug, cpusets, suspend: Don't modify cpusets during suspend/resumeSrivatsa S. Bhat2012-07-242-4/+39
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the event of CPU hotplug, the kernel modifies the cpusets' cpus_allowed masks as and when necessary to ensure that the tasks belonging to the cpusets have some place (online CPUs) to run on. And regular CPU hotplug is destructive in the sense that the kernel doesn't remember the original cpuset configurations set by the user, across hotplug operations. However, suspend/resume (which uses CPU hotplug) is a special case in which the kernel has the responsibility to restore the system (during resume), to exactly the same state it was in before suspend. In order to achieve that, do the following: 1. Don't modify cpusets during suspend/resume. At all. In particular, don't move the tasks from one cpuset to another, and don't modify any cpuset's cpus_allowed mask. So, simply ignore cpusets during the CPU hotplug operations that are carried out in the suspend/resume path. 2. However, cpusets and sched domains are related. We just want to avoid altering cpusets alone. So, to keep the sched domains updated, build a single sched domain (containing all active cpus) during each of the CPU hotplug operations carried out in s/r path, effectively ignoring the cpusets' cpus_allowed masks. (Since userspace is frozen while doing all this, it will go unnoticed.) 3. During the last CPU online operation during resume, build the sched domains by looking up the (unaltered) cpusets' cpus_allowed masks. That will bring back the system to the same original state as it was in before suspend. Ultimately, this will not only solve the cpuset problem related to suspend resume (ie., restores the cpusets to exactly what it was before suspend, by not touching it at all) but also speeds up suspend/resume because we avoid running cpuset update code for every CPU being offlined/onlined.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are tools like makedumpfile and vmcore-dmesg which can extract kernel log buffer from vmcore. Since we introduced structured logging, that functionality is broken. Now user space tools need to know about "struct log" and offsets of various fields to be able to parse struct log data and extract text message or dictonary. This patch exports some of the fields. Currently I am not exporting log "level" info as that is a bitfield and offsetof() bitfields can't be calculated. But if people start asking for log level info in the output then we probably either need to seprate out "level" or use bit shift operations for flags and level.

If the console is busy and earlier messages are already queued up, we should not flush the fragments of continuation lines, but store them after the queued up messages, to ensure the proper ordering.

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.

This patch removes the trustee and let a disassociated global_cwq manage itself. Unbinding is moved to a work item (for CPU affinity) which is scheduled and flushed from CPU_DONW_PREPARE.

Also, on CPU onlining failure, workqueue_cpu_callback() ensures that the first idle worker is destroyed. Combined, these guarantee that an offline CPU doesn't have any worker for it once all the lingering work items are finished. This guarantee isn't really necessary and makes CPU on/offlining more expensive than needs to be, especially for platforms which use CPU hotplug for powersaving. This patch lets offline CPUs removes idle worker butchering from the trustee and let a CPU which failed onlining keep the created first worker. The first worker is created if the CPU doesn't have any during CPU_DOWN_PREPARE and started right away. If onlining succeeds, the rebind_workers() call in CPU_ONLINE will rebind it like any other workers. If onlining fails, the worker is left alone till the next try. This makes CPU hotplugs cheaper by allowing global_cwqs to keep workers across them and simplifies code. Note that trustee doesn't re-arm idle timer when it's done and thus the disassociated global_cwq will keep all workers until it comes back online. This will be improved by further patches.

This works for busy workers because concurrency management doesn't try to wake up them from scheduler callbacks, which require the target task to be on the local run queue. The busy worker bumps concurrency counter appropriately as it clears WORKER_UNBOUND from the rebind work item and it's bound to the CPU before returning to the idle state. To reduce CPU on/offlining overhead (as many embedded systems use it for powersaving) and simplify the code path, workqueue is planned to be modified to retain idle workers across CPU on/offlining. This patch reimplements CPU online rebinding such that it can also handle idle workers. As noted earlier, due to the local wakeup requirement, rebinding idle workers is tricky. All idle workers must be re-bound before scheduler callbacks are enabled. This is achieved by interlocking idle re-binding. Idle workers are requested to re-bind and then hold until all idle re-binding is complete so that no bound worker starts executing work item. Only after all idle workers are re-bound and parked, CPU_ONLINE proceeds to release them and queue rebind work item to busy workers thus guaranteeing scheduler callbacks aren't invoked until all idle workers are ready. worker_rebind_fn() is renamed to busy_worker_rebind_fn() and idle_worker_rebind() for idle workers is added. Rebinding logic is moved to rebind_workers() and now called from CPU_ONLINE after flushing trustee. While at it, add CPU sanity check in worker_thread(). Note that now a worker may become idle or the manager between trustee release and rebinding during CPU_ONLINE. As the previous patch updated create_worker() so that it can be used by regular manager while unbound and this patch implements idle re-binding, this is safe. This prepares for removal of trustee and keeping idle workers across CPU hotplugs. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: "Rafael J. Wysocki" <rjw@sisk.pl>

Creation during normal operation is always via maybe_create_worker() and @bind is true. For workers created during hotplug, @bind is false. Normal operation path is planned to be used even while the CPU is going through hotplug operations or offline and this static decision won't work. Drop @bind from create_worker() and decide whether to bind by looking at GCWQ_DISASSOCIATED. create_worker() will also set WORKER_UNBOUND autmatically if disassociated. To avoid flipping GCWQ_DISASSOCIATED while create_worker() is in progress, the flag is now allowed to be changed only while holding all manager_mutexes on the global_cwq. This requires that GCWQ_DISASSOCIATED is not cleared behind trustee's back. CPU_ONLINE no longer clears DISASSOCIATED before flushing trustee, which clears DISASSOCIATED before rebinding remaining workers if asked to release. For cases where trustee isn't around, CPU_ONLINE clears DISASSOCIATED after flushing trustee. Also, now, first_idle has UNBOUND set on creation which is explicitly cleared by CPU_ONLINE while binding it. These convolutions will soon be removed by further simplification of CPU hotplug path.

Trustee is scheduled to be removed. This patch separates out MANAGING_WORKERS wait into per-pool mutex. Workers use mutex_trylock() to test for manager role and trustee uses mutex_lock() to claim manager roles. gcwq_claim/release_management() helpers are added to grab and release manager roles of all pools on a global_cwq. gcwq_claim_management() always grabs pool manager mutexes in ascending pool index order and uses pool index as lockdep subclass.

Drop CPU_DYING and let the trustee set GCWQ_DISASSOCIATED after disabling concurrency management. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: "Rafael J. Wysocki" <rjw@sisk.pl>
| * | | | | | workqueue: perform cpu down operations from low priority cpu_notifier()Tejun Heo2012-07-171-1/+37

This is to ensure that workqueue is up and running while bringing up a CPU before other notifiers try to use workqueue on the CPU. Per-cpu workqueues are supposed to remain working and bound to the CPU for normal CPU_DOWN_PREPARE notifiers. This holds mostly true even with workqueue offlining running with higher priority because workqueue CPU_DOWN_PREPARE only creates a bound trustee thread which runs the per-cpu workqueue without concurrency management without explicitly detaching the existing workers. However, if the trustee needs to create new workers, it creates unbound workers which may wander off to other CPUs while CPU_DOWN_PREPARE notifiers are in progress. Furthermore, if the CPU down is cancelled, the per-CPU workqueue may end up with workers which aren't bound to the CPU. While reliably reproducible with a convoluted artificial test-case involving scheduling and flushing CPU burning work items from CPU down notifiers, this isn't very likely to happen in the wild, and, even when it happens, the effects are likely to be hidden by the following successful CPU down. Fix it by using different priorities for up and down notifiers - high priority for up operations and low priority for down operations. Workqueue cpu hotplug operations will soon go through further cleanup. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Acked-by: "Rafael J. Wysocki" <rjw@sisk.pl>
| * | | | | | workqueue: reimplement WQ_HIGHPRI using a separate worker_poolTejun Heo2012-07-141-73/+27

Other than queueing at the head, they weren't handled differently; unfortunately, this could lead to execution latency of a few seconds on heavily loaded systems. Now that workqueue code has been updated to deal with multiple worker_pools per global_cwq, this patch reimplements WQ_HIGHPRI using a separate worker_pool. NR_WORKER_POOLS is bumped to two and gcwq->pools[0] is used for normal pri work items and ->pools[1] for highpri. Highpri workers get -20 nice level and has 'H' suffix in their names. Note that this change increases the number of kworkers per cpu. POOL_HIGHPRI_PENDING, pool_determine_ins_pos() and highpri chain wakeup code in process_one_work() are no longer used and removed. This allows proper prioritization of highpri work items and removes high execution latency of highpri work items. v2: nr_running indexing bug in get_pool_nr_running() fixed. v3: Refreshed for the get_pool_nr_running() update in the previous patch.

NR_WORKER_POOLS is currently one and for_each_worker_pool() iterates over only @gcwq->pool. Note that nr_running is per-pool property and converted to an array with NR_WORKER_POOLS elements and renamed to pool_nr_running. Note that get_pool_nr_running() currently assumes 0 index. The next patch will make use of non-zero index. The changes in this patch are mechanical and don't caues any functional difference. This is to prepare for multiple pools per gcwq. v2: nr_running indexing bug in get_pool_nr_running() fixed. v3: Pointer to array is stupid.
