* percpu_counter: extend _limited_add() to negative amountsHugh Dickins2023-10-181-14/+40
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Though tmpfs does not need it, percpu_counter_limited_add() can be twice as useful if it works sensibly with negative amounts (subs) - typically decrements towards a limit of 0 or nearby: as suggested by Dave Chinner. And in the course of that reworking, skip the percpu counter sum if it is already obvious that the limit would be passed: as suggested by Tim Chen. Extend the comment above __percpu_counter_limited_add(), defining the behaviour with positive and negative amounts, allowing negative limits, but not bothering about overflow beyond S64_MAX.

* shmem,percpu_counter: add _limited_add(fbc, limit, amount)Hugh Dickins2023-10-181-0/+53
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Percpu counter's compare and add are separate functions: without locking around them (which would defeat their purpose), it has been possible to overflow the intended limit. Imagine all the other CPUs fallocating tmpfs huge pages to the limit, in between this CPU's compare and its add. I have not seen reports of that happening; but tmpfs's recent addition of dquot_alloc_block_nodirty() in between the compare and the add makes it even more likely, and I'd be uncomfortable to leave it unfixed. Introduce percpu_counter_limited_add(fbc, limit, amount) to prevent it. I believe this implementation is correct, and slightly more efficient than the combination of compare and add (taking the lock once rather than twice when nearing full - the last 128MiB of a tmpfs volume on a machine with 128 CPUs and 4KiB pages); but it does beg for a better design - when nearing full, there is no new batching, but the costly percpu counter sum across CPUs still has to be done, while locked. Follow __percpu_counter_sum()'s example, including cpu_dying_mask as well as cpu_online_mask: but shouldn't __percpu_counter_compare() and __percpu_counter_limited_add() then be adding a num_dying_cpus() to num_online_cpus(), when they calculate the maximum which could be held across CPUs? But the times when it matters would be vanishingly rare.

* pcpcntr: add group allocation/freeMateusz Guzik2023-08-251-19/+43
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Allocations and frees are globally serialized on the pcpu lock (and the CPU hotplug lock if enabled, which is the case on Debian). At least one frequent consumer allocates 4 back-to-back counters (and frees them in the same manner), exacerbating the problem. While this does not fully remedy scalability issues, it is a step towards that goal and provides immediate relief.

* pcpcntrs: fix dying cpu summation raceDave Chinner2023-03-191-3/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In commit f689054aace2 ("percpu_counter: add percpu_counter_sum_all interface") a race condition between a cpu dying and percpu_counter_sum() iterating online CPUs was identified. The solution was to iterate all possible CPUs for summation via percpu_counter_sum_all(). We recently had a percpu_counter_sum() call in XFS trip over this same race condition and it fired a debug assert because the filesystem was unmounting and the counter *should* be zero just before we destroy it. That was reported here: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kernel/20230314090649.326642-1-yebin@huaweicloud.com/ likely as a result of running generic/648 which exercises filesystems in the presence of CPU online/offline events. The solution to use percpu_counter_sum_all() is an awful one. We use percpu counters and percpu_counter_sum() for accurate and reliable threshold detection for space management, so a summation race condition during these operations can result in overcommit of available space and that may result in filesystem shutdowns. As percpu_counter_sum_all() iterates all possible CPUs rather than just those online or even those present, the mask can include CPUs that aren't even installed in the machine, or in the case of machines that can hot-plug CPU capable nodes, even have physical sockets present in the machine. Fundamentally, this race condition is caused by the CPU being offlined being removed from the cpu_online_mask before the notifier that cleans up per-cpu state is run. Hence percpu_counter_sum() will not sum the count for a cpu currently being taken offline, regardless of whether the notifier has run or not. This is the root cause of the bug. The percpu counter notifier iterates all the registered counters, locks the counter and moves the percpu count to the global sum. This is serialised against other operations that move the percpu counter to the global sum as well as percpu_counter_sum() operations that sum the percpu counts while holding the counter lock. Hence the notifier is safe to run concurrently with sum operations, and the only thing we actually need to care about is that percpu_counter_sum() iterates dying CPUs. That's trivial to do, and when there are no CPUs dying, it has no addition overhead except for a cpumask_or() operation. This change makes percpu_counter_sum() always do the right thing in the presence of CPU hot unplug events and makes percpu_counter_sum_all() unnecessary. This, in turn, means that filesystems like XFS, ext4, and btrfs don't have to work out when they should use percpu_counter_sum() vs percpu_counter_sum_all() in their space accounting algorithms Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Darrick J.

* percpu_counter: add percpu_counter_sum_all interfaceShakeel Butt2022-12-011-6/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The percpu_counter is used for scenarios where performance is more important than the accuracy. For percpu_counter users, who want more accurate information in their slowpath, percpu_counter_sum is provided which traverses all the online CPUs to accumulate the data. The reason it only needs to traverse online CPUs is because percpu_counter does implement CPU offline callback which syncs the local data of the offlined CPU. However there is a small race window between the online CPUs traversal of percpu_counter_sum and the CPU offline callback. The offline callback has to traverse all the percpu_counters on the system to flush the CPU local data which can be a lot. During that time, the CPU which is going offline has already been published as offline to all the readers. So, as the offline callback is running, percpu_counter_sum can be called for one counter which has some state on the CPU going offline. Since percpu_counter_sum only traverses online CPUs, it will skip that specific CPU and the offline callback might not have flushed the state for that specific percpu_counter on that offlined CPU. Normally this is not an issue because percpu_counter users can deal with some inaccuracy for small time window. However a new user i.e. mm_struct on the cleanup path wants to check the exact state of the percpu_counter through check_mm(). For such users, this patch introduces percpu_counter_sum_all() which traverses all possible CPUs and it is used in fork.c:check_mm() to avoid the potential race. This issue is exposed by the later patch "mm: convert mm's rss stats into percpu_counter".

* License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman2017-11-021-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the writeback statistics code uses a percpu counters to hold various statistics. Furthermore we have 2 families of functions - those which disable local irq and those which doesn't and whose names begin with double underscore. However, they both end up calling __add_wb_stats which in turn calls percpu_counter_add_batch which is already irq-safe. Exploiting this fact allows to eliminated the __wb_* functions since they don't add any further protection than we already have. Furthermore, refactor the wb_* function to call __add_wb_stat directly without the irq-disabling dance. This will likely result in better runtime of code which deals with modifying the stat counters. While at it also document why percpu_counter_add_batch is in fact preempt and irq-safe since at least 3 people got confused.

* percpu_counter: batch size aware __percpu_counter_compare()Dave Chinner2015-05-281-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | XFS uses non-stanard batch sizes for avoiding frequent global counter updates on it's allocated inode counters, as they increment or decrement in batches of 64 inodes. Hence the standard percpu counter batch of 32 means that the counter is effectively a global counter. Currently Xfs uses a batch size of 128 so that it doesn't take the global lock on every single modification. However, Xfs also needs to compare accurately against zero, which means we need to use percpu_counter_compare(), and that has a hard-coded batch size of 32, and hence will spuriously fail to detect when it is supposed to use precise comparisons and hence the accounting goes wrong.

* percpu_counter: add @gfp to percpu_counter_init()Tejun Heo2014-09-081-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Percpu allocator now supports allocation mask. Add @gfp to percpu_counter_init() so that !GFP_KERNEL allocation masks can be used with percpu_counters too. We could have left percpu_counter_init() alone and added percpu_counter_init_gfp(); however, the number of users isn't that high and introducing _gfp variants to all percpu data structures would be quite ugly, so let's just do the conversion. This is the one with the most users. Other percpu data structures are a lot easier to convert. This patch doesn't make any functional difference.

* lib/percpu_counter.c: fix bad percpu counter state during suspendJens Axboe2014-04-091-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I got a bug report yesterday from Laszlo Ersek in which he states that his kvm instance fails to suspend. Laszlo bisected it down to this commit 1cf7e9c68fe8 ("virtio_blk: blk-mq support") where virtio-blk is converted to use the blk-mq infrastructure. After digging a bit, it became clear that the issue was with the queue drain. blk-mq tracks queue usage in a percpu counter, which is incremented on request alloc and decremented when the request is freed. The initial hunt was for an inconsistency in blk-mq, but everything seemed fine. In fact, the counter only returned crazy values when suspend was in progress. When a CPU is unplugged, the percpu counters merges that CPU state with the general state. blk-mq takes care to register a hotcpu notifier with the appropriate priority, so we know it runs after the percpu counter notifier. However, the percpu counter notifier only merges the state when the CPU is fully gone. This leaves a state transition where the CPU going away is no longer in the online mask, yet it still holds private values. This means that in this state, percpu_counter_sum() returns invalid results, and the suspend then hangs waiting for abs(dead-cpu-value) requests to complete which of course will never happen. Fix this by clearing the state earlier, so we never have a case where the CPU isn't in online mask but still holds private state. This bug has been there since forever, I guess we don't have a lot of users where percpu counters needs to be reliable during the suspend cycle.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | __percpu_counter_add() may be called in softirq/hardirq handler (such as, blk_mq_queue_exit() is typically called in hardirq/softirq handler), so we need to call this_cpu_add()(irq safe helper) to update percpu counter, otherwise counts may be lost. This fixes the problem that 'rmmod null_blk' hangs in blk_cleanup_queue() because of miscounting of request_queue->mq_usage_counter. This patch is the v1 of previous one of "lib/percpu_counter.c: disable local irq when updating percpu couter", and takes Andrew's approach which may be more efficient for ARCHs(x86, s390) that have optimized this_cpu_add().

* 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.

* percpu_counter: add debugobj supportTejun Heo2010-10-271-0/+48
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | All percpu counters are linked to a global list on initialization and removed from it on destruction. The list is walked during CPU up/down. If a percpu counter is freed without being properly destroyed, the system will oops only on the next CPU up/down making it pretty nasty to track down. This patch adds debugobj support for percpu counters so that such problems can be found easily. As percpu counters don't make sense on stack and can't be statically initialized, debugobj support is pretty simple. It's initialized and activated on counter initialization, and deactivatd and destroyed on counter destruction. With this patch applied, the bug fixed by commit 602586a83b719df0fbd94196a1359ed35aeb2df3 (shmem: put_super must percpu_counter_destroy) triggers the following warning on tmpfs unmount and the system won't oops on the next cpu up/down operation. ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: at lib/debugobjects.c:259 debug_print_object+0x5c/0x70() Hardware name: Bochs ODEBUG: free active (active state 0) object type: percpu_counter Modules linked in: Pid: 3999, comm: umount Not tainted 2.6.36-rc2-work+ #5 Call Trace: [<ffffffff81083f7f>] warn_slowpath_common+0x7f/0xc0 [<ffffffff81084076>] warn_slowpath_fmt+0x46/0x50 [<ffffffff813b45cc>] debug_print_object+0x5c/0x70 [<ffffffff813b50e5>] debug_check_no_obj_freed+0x125/0x210 [<ffffffff811577d3>] kfree+0xb3/0x2f0 [<ffffffff81132edd>] shmem_put_super+0x1d/0x30 [<ffffffff81162e96>] generic_shutdown_super+0x56/0xe0 [<ffffffff81162f86>] kill_anon_super+0x16/0x60 [<ffffffff81162ff7>] kill_litter_super+0x27/0x30 [<ffffffff81163295>] deactivate_locked_super+0x45/0x60 [<ffffffff81163cfa>] deactivate_super+0x4a/0x70 [<ffffffff8117d446>] mntput_no_expire+0x86/0xe0 [<ffffffff8117df7f>] sys_umount+0x6f/0x360 [<ffffffff8103f01b>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b ---[ end trace cce2a341ba3611a7 ]--- Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglxlinutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

After this patch, percpu_counter_sum_and_set() has gone, and percpu_counter_sum() gets the old percpu_counter_sum_and_set() functionality. Problem is, as Eric points out, the old percpu_counter_sum_and_set() functionality was racy and wrong. It zeroes out counters on "other" cpus, without holding any locks which will prevent races agaist updates from those other CPUS. This patch reverts 1f7c14c62ce63805f9574664a6c6de3633d4a354. This means that percpu_counter_sum_and_set() still has the race, but percpu_counter_sum() does not. Note that this is not a simple revert - ext4 has since started using percpu_counter_sum() for its dirty_blocks counter as well. Note that this revert patch changes percpu_counter_sum() semantics. Before the patch, a call to percpu_counter_sum() will bring the counter's central counter mostly up-to-date, so a following percpu_counter_read() will return a close value. After this patch, a call to percpu_counter_sum() will leave the counter's central accumulator unaltered, so a subsequent call to percpu_counter_read() can now return a significantly inaccurate result. If there is any code in the tree which was introduced after e8ced39d5e8911c662d4d69a342b9d053eaaac4e was merged, and which depends upon the new percpu_counter_sum() semantics, that code will break.

* percpu counter: clean up percpu_counter_sum_and_set()Mingming Cao2008-10-091-5/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | percpu_counter_sum_and_set() and percpu_counter_sum() is the same except the former updates the global counter after accounting. Since we are taking the fbc->lock to calculate the precise value of the counter in percpu_counter_sum() anyway, it should simply set fbc->count too, as the percpu_counter_sum_and_set() does. This patch merges these two interfaces into one.

* percpu_counter: new function percpu_counter_sum_and_setMingming Cao2008-07-121-1/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Delayed allocation need to check free blocks at every write time. percpu_counter_read_positive() is not quit accurate. delayed allocation need a more accurate accounting, but using percpu_counter_sum_positive() is frequently is quite expensive. This patch added a new function to update center counter when sum per-cpu counter, to increase the accurate rate for next percpu_counter_read() and require less calling expensive percpu_counter_sum().

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Provide a place in sysfs (/sys/class/bdi) for the backing_dev_info object. This allows us to see and set the various BDI specific variables. In particular this properly exposes the read-ahead window for all relevant users and /sys/block/<block>/queue/read_ahead_kb should be deprecated. With patient help from Kay Sievers and Greg KH [mszeredi@suse.cz] - split off NFS and FUSE changes into separate patches - document new sysfs attributes under Documentation/ABI - do bdi_class_init as a core_initcall, otherwise the "default" BDI won't be initialized - remove bdi_init_fmt macro, it's not used very much [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix ia64 warning] Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> Acked-by: Greg KH <greg@kroah.com> Cc: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@fys.uio.no> Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
* Add irq protection in the percpu-counters cpu-hotplug-callback pathGautham R Shenoy2007-10-191-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Some of the per-cpu counters and thus their locks are accessed from IRQ contexts. This can cause a deadlock if it interrupts a cpu-offline thread which is transferring a dead-cpu's counts to the global counter. Add appropriate IRQ protection in the cpu-hotplug callback path.
