| * rcu: Control grace-period delays directly from valuePaul E. McKenney2015-04-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In a misguided attempt to avoid an #ifdef, the use of the gp_init_delay module parameter was conditioned on the corresponding RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT Kconfig variable, using IS_ENABLED() at the point of use in the code. This meant that the compiler always saw the delay, which meant that RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT_DELAY had to be unconditionally defined. This in turn caused "make oldconfig" to ask pointless questions about the value of RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT_DELAY in cases where it was not even used. This commit avoids these pointless questions by defining gp_init_delay under #ifdef. In one branch, gp_init_delay is initialized to RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT_DELAY and is also a module parameter (thus allowing boot-time modification), and in the other branch gp_init_delay is a const variable initialized by default to zero. This approach also simplifies the code at the delay point by eliminating the IS_DEFINED(). Because gp_init_delay is constant zero in the no-delay case intended for production use, the "gp_init_delay > 0" check causes the delay to become dead code, as desired in this case. In addition, this commit replaces magic constant "10" with the preprocessor variable PER_RCU_NODE_PERIOD, which controls the number of grace periods that are allowed to elapse at full speed before a delay is inserted.

| * cpu: Defer smpboot kthread unparking until CPU known to schedulerPaul E. McKenney2015-04-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, smpboot_unpark_threads() is invoked before the incoming CPU has been added to the scheduler's runqueue structures. This might potentially cause the unparked kthread to run on the wrong CPU, since the correct CPU isn't fully set up yet. That causes a sporadic, hard to debug boot crash triggering on some systems, reported by Borislav Petkov, and bisected down to: 2a442c9c6453 ("x86: Use common outgoing-CPU-notification code") This patch places smpboot_unpark_threads() in a CPU hotplug notifier with priority set so that these kthreads are unparked just after the CPU has been added to the runqueues.

This kthread might then migrate before invoking rcu_gp_fqs(), which will trigger the WARN_ON_ONCE() in rcu_sysidle_check_cpu(). This commit therefore makes rcu_bind_gp_kthread() do the binding even if the kthread is currently on the same CPU. Because this incurs added overhead, this commit also causes each RCU grace-period kthread to invoke rcu_bind_gp_kthread() once at boot rather than at the beginning of each grace period. And as long as rcu_bind_gp_kthread() is being modified, this commit eliminates its #ifdef. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

However, the check for offline CPUs in the quiescent-state forcing main loop had the wrong sense, which could prevent CPUs from ever entering full sysidle state. This commit fixes both of these bugs. Given that sysidle is not yet wired up, this has no effect in old kernels, but might have proven frustrating had anyone attempted to wire it up. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

Therefore, the quiescent-state forcing code now checks for this situation and repairs it. Unfortunately, this checking can result in false positives, for example, when the last task has just removed itself from this leaf rcu_node structure, but has not yet started clearing the ->qsmask bits further up the structure. This means that the grace-period kthread (which forces quiescent states) and some other task might be attempting to concurrently clear these ->qsmask bits. This is usually not a problem: One of these tasks will be the first to acquire the upper-level rcu_node structure's lock and with therefore clear the bit, and the other task, seeing the bit already cleared, will stop trying to clear bits. Sadly, this means that the following unusual sequence of events -can- result in a problem: 1. The grace-period kthread wins, and clears the ->qsmask bits. 2. This is the last thing blocking the current grace period, so that the grace-period kthread clears ->qsmask bits all the way to the root and finds that the root ->qsmask field is now zero. 3. Another grace period is required, so that the grace period kthread initializes it, including setting all the needed qsmask bits. 4. The leaf rcu_node structure (the one that started this whole mess) is blocking this new grace period, either because it has at least one online CPU or because there is at least one task that had blocked within an RCU read-side critical section while running on one of this leaf rcu_node structure's CPUs. (And yes, that CPU might well have gone offline before the grace period in step (3) above started, which can mean that there is a task on the leaf rcu_node structure's ->blkd_tasks list, but ->qsmask equal to zero.) 5. The other kthread didn't get around to trying to clear the upper level ->qsmask bits until all the above had happened. This means that it now sees bits set in the upper-level ->qsmask field, so it proceeds to clear them. Too bad that it is doing so on behalf of a quiescent state that does not apply to the current grace period! This sequence of events can result in the new grace period being too short. It can also result in the new grace period ending before the leaf rcu_node structure's ->qsmask bits have been cleared, which will result in splats during initialization of the next grace period. In addition, it can result in tasks blocking the new grace period still being queued at the start of the next grace period, which will result in other splats. Sasha's testing turned up another of these splats, as did rcutorture testing. (And yes, rcutorture is being adjusted to make these splats show up more quickly. Which probably is having the undesirable side effect of making other problems show up less quickly. Can't have everything!) Reported-by: Sasha Levin <sasha.levin@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

| | | | | | * | rcu: Yet another fix for preemption and CPU hotplugPaul E. McKenney2015-03-20

A group of tasks block on CPUs corresponding to a given leaf rcu_node structure while within RCU read-side critical sections. 2. All CPUs corrsponding to that rcu_node structure go offline. 3. The next grace period starts, but because there are still tasks blocked, the upper-level bits corresponding to this leaf rcu_node structure remain set. 4. All the tasks exit their RCU read-side critical sections and remove themselves from the leaf rcu_node structure's list, leaving it empty. 5. But because there now is code to check for this condition at force-quiescent-state time, the upper bits are cleared and the grace period completes. However, there is another complication that can occur following step 4 above: 4a. The grace period starts, and the leaf rcu_node structure's gp_tasks pointer is set to NULL because there are no tasks blocked on this structure. 4b. One of the CPUs corresponding to the leaf rcu_node structure comes back online. 4b. An endless stream of tasks are preempted within RCU read-side critical sections on this CPU, such that the ->blkd_tasks list is always non-empty. The grace period will never end. This commit therefore makes the force-quiescent-state processing check only for absence of tasks blocking the current grace period rather than absence of tasks altogether. This will cause a quiescent state to be reported if the current leaf rcu_node structure is not blocking the current grace period and its parent thinks that it is, regardless of how RCU managed to get itself into this state.

Note that removing the CPU from the rcu_node ->qsmaskinit bit masks is done at CPU_DYING_IDLE time, and orphaning callbacks is still done at CPU_DEAD time, the reason being that at CPU_DEAD time we have another CPU that can adopt them.

| | | | | | * | rcu: Process offlining and onlining only at grace-period startPaul E. McKenney2015-03-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Races between CPU hotplug and grace periods can be difficult to resolve, so the ->onoff_mutex is used to exclude the two events. Unfortunately, this means that it is impossible for an outgoing CPU to perform the last bits of its offlining from its last pass through the idle loop, because sleeplocks cannot be acquired in that context. This commit avoids these problems by buffering online and offline events in a new ->qsmaskinitnext field in the leaf rcu_node structures. When a grace period starts, the events accumulated in this mask are applied to the ->qsmaskinit field, and, if needed, up the rcu_node tree. The special case of all CPUs corresponding to a given leaf rcu_node structure being offline while there are still elements in that structure's ->blkd_tasks list is handled using a new ->wait_blkd_tasks field. In this case, propagating the offline bits up the tree is deferred until the beginning of the grace period after all of the tasks have exited their RCU read-side critical sections and removed themselves from the list, at which point the ->wait_blkd_tasks flag is cleared. If one of that leaf rcu_node structure's CPUs comes back online before the list empties, then the ->wait_blkd_tasks flag is simply cleared. This of course means that RCU's notion of which CPUs are offline can be out of date. This is OK because RCU need only wait on CPUs that were online at the time that the grace period started. In addition, RCU's force-quiescent-state actions will handle the case where a CPU goes offline after the grace period starts. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
| | | | | | * | rcu: Move rcu_report_unblock_qs_rnp() to common codePaul E. McKenney2015-03-12

Previously, this was called only from rcu_read_unlock_special(), and was therefore defined only when CONFIG_RCU_PREEMPT=y. However, this function will be invoked even when CONFIG_RCU_PREEMPT=n once CPU-hotplug operations are processed only at the beginnings of RCU grace periods. The reason for this change is that the last task on a given leaf rcu_node structure's ->blkd_tasks list might well exit its RCU read-side critical section between the time that recent CPU-hotplug operations were applied and when the new grace period was initialized. This situation could result in RCU waiting forever on that leaf rcu_node structure, because if all that structure's CPUs were already offline, there would be no quiescent-state events to drive that structure's part of the grace period. This commit therefore moves rcu_report_unblock_qs_rnp() to common code that is built unconditionally so that the quiescent-state-forcing code can clean up after this situation, avoiding the grace-period stall.

(They -can- use SRCU, but not RCU.) This means that any use of RCU during or after the call to arch_cpu_idle_dead(). Unfortunately, commit 2ed53c0d6cc99 added a complete() call, which will contain RCU read-side critical sections if there is a task waiting to be awakened. Which, as it turns out, there almost never is. In my qemu/KVM testing, the to-be-awakened task is not yet asleep more than 99.5% of the time. In current mainline, failure is even harder to reproduce, requiring a virtualized environment that delays the outgoing CPU by at least three jiffies between the time it exits its stop_machine() task at CPU_DYING time and the time it calls arch_cpu_idle_dead() from the idle loop. However, this problem really can occur, especially in virtualized environments, and therefore really does need to be fixed This suggests moving back to the polling loop, but using a much shorter wait, with gentle exponential backoff instead of the old 100-millisecond wait. Most of the time, the loop will exit without waiting at all, and almost all of the remaining uses will wait only five microseconds. If the outgoing CPU is preempted, a loop will wait one jiffy, then increase the wait by a factor of 11/10ths, rounding up. As before, there is a five-second timeout. This commit therefore provides common-code infrastructure to do the dying-to-surviving CPU handoff in a safe manner. This code also provides an indication at CPU-online of whether the CPU to be onlined previously timed out on offline. The new cpu_check_up_prepare() function returns -EBUSY if this CPU previously took more than five seconds to go offline, or -EAGAIN if it has not yet managed to go offline. The rationale for -EAGAIN is that it might still be preempted, so an additional wait might well find it correctly offlined. Architecture-specific code can decide how to handle these conditions. Systems in which CPUs take themselves completely offline might respond to an -EBUSY return as if it was a zero (success) return. Systems in which the surviving CPU must take some action might take it at this time, or might simply mark the other CPU as unusable. Note that architectures that take the easy way out and simply pass the -EBUSY and -EAGAIN upwards will change the sysfs API. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

This works fine normally, but can potentially fail in environments (such as NMI handlers) where lockdep cannot be invoked. The problem is that even if the expression passed in is "1", the compiler would need to prove that the RCU lockdep expression (rcu_read_lock_held(), for example) is free of side effects in order to be able to elide it. Given that rcu_read_lock_held() is sometimes separately compiled, the compiler cannot always use this optimization. This commit therefore reverse the order of evaluation, so that the expression passed in is evaluated first, and the RCU lockdep expression is evaluated only if the passed-in expression evaluated to false, courtesy of the C-language short-circuit boolean evaluation rules. This compells the compiler to forego executing the RCU lockdep expression in cases where the passed-in expression evaluates to "1" at compile time, so that (for example) rcu_dereference_raw() can be guaranteed to execute safely within an NMI handler.
