| | * | | | rcu: make rcutorture even more vicious: invoke RCU readers from irq handlers ↵Paul E. McKenney2008-06-26

A new module parameter irqreader enables such additional torturing, and is enabled by default. Variants of RCU that do not tolerate readers being called from irq handlers (e.g., SRCU) ignore irqreader. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

| | * | | | | rcu: make rcutorture more vicious: reinstate boot-time testingPaul E. McKenney2008-06-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch re-institutes the ability to build rcutorture directly into the Linux kernel. The reason that this capability was removed was that this could result in your kernel being pretty much useless, as rcutorture would be running starting from early boot. This problem has been avoided by (1) making rcutorture run only three seconds of every six by default, (2) adding a CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST_RUNNABLE that permits rcutorture to be quiesced at boot time, and (3) adding a sysctl in /proc named /proc/sys/kernel/rcutorture_runnable that permits rcutorture to be quiesced and unquiesced when built into the kernel. Please note that this /proc file is -not- available when rcutorture is built as a module. Please also note that to get the earlier take-no-prisoners behavior, you must use the boot command line to set rcutorture's "stutter" parameter to zero. The rcutorture quiescing mechanism is currently quite crude: loops in each rcutorture process that poll a global variable once per tick. Suggestions for improvement are welcome. The default action will be to reduce the polling rate to a few times per second. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

This behavior can be controlled using a new "stutter" module parameter, so that "stutter=0" gives the old default behavior of running continuously. Starting and stopping rcutorture more heavily stresses RCU's interaction with the scheduler, as well as exercising more paths through the grace-period detection code. Note that the default to "shuffle_interval" has also been adjusted from 5 seconds to 3 seconds to provide varying overlap with the "stutter" interval. I am still unable to provoke the failures that Alexey has been seeing, even with this patch, but will be doing a few additional things to beef up rcutorture.

That commit was a very bad idea. RCU_TORTURE found many boot timing bugs and other sorts of bugs in the past, so excluding it from boot images is very silly. The option already depends on DEBUG_KERNEL and is disabled by default. Even when it runs, the test threads are reniced. If it annoys people we could add a runtime sysctl.

Without this patch, if a CPU goes dynticks idle (and stays there forever) in just the right phase of preemptible-RCU grace-period processing, grace periods stall. The offending sequence of events (courtesy of Promela/spin, at least after I got the liveness criterion coded correctly...) is as follows: o CPU 0 is in dynticks-idle mode. Its dynticks_progress_counter is (say) 10. o CPU 0 takes an interrupt, so rcu_irq_enter() increments CPU 0's dynticks_progress_counter to 11. o CPU 1 is doing RCU grace-period processing in rcu_try_flip_idle(), sees rcu_pending(), so invokes dyntick_save_progress_counter(), which in turn takes a snapshot of CPU 0's dynticks_progress_counter into CPU 0's rcu_dyntick_snapshot -- now set to 11. CPU 1 then updates the RCU grace-period state to rcu_try_flip_waitack(). o CPU 0 returns from its interrupt, so rcu_irq_exit() increments CPU 0's dynticks_progress_counter to 12. o CPU 1 later invokes rcu_try_flip_waitack(), which notices that CPU 0 has not yet responded, and hence in turn invokes rcu_try_flip_waitack_needed(). This function examines the state of CPU 0's dynticks_progress_counter and rcu_dyntick_snapshot variables, which it copies to curr (== 12) and snap (== 11), respectively. Because curr!=snap, the first condition fails. Because curr-snap is only 1 and snap is odd, the second condition fails. rcu_try_flip_waitack_needed() therefore incorrectly concludes that it must wait for CPU 0 to explicitly acknowledge the counter flip. o CPU 0 remains forever in dynticks-idle mode, never taking any more hardware interrupts or any NMIs, and never running any more tasks. (Of course, -something- will usually eventually happen, which might be why we haven't seen this one in the wild. Still should be fixed!) Therefore the grace period never ends. Fix is to make the code match the comment, as shown below. With this fix, the above scenario would be satisfied with curr being even, and allow the grace period to proceed. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

This is done because list are a very used primitive structure all over the kernel and it's currently impossible to include other header files in this list.h without creating some circular dependencies. For example, list.h implements rcu-protected list and uses rcu_dereference() without including rcupdate.h. It actually compiles because users of rcu_dereference() are macros. Others RCU functions could be used too but aren't probably because of this. Therefore this patch creates rculist.h which includes rcupdates without to many changes/troubles.

This is again to synchronize_sched() as call_rcu() is to synchronize_rcu(). Should be fine for experimental and -rt use, but not ready for inclusion. With some luck, I will be able to tell Andrew to come out of hiding on the next round. Passes multi-day rcutorture sessions with concurrent CPU hotplugging. Fixes since the first version include a bug that could result in indefinite blocking (spotted by Gautham Shenoy), better resiliency against CPU-hotplug operations, and other minor fixes. Fixes since the second version include reworking grace-period detection to avoid deadlocks that could happen when running concurrently with CPU hotplug, adding Mathieu's fix to avoid the softlockup messages, as well as Mathieu's fix to allow use earlier in boot. Fixes since the third version include a wrong-CPU bug spotted by Andrew, getting rid of the obsolete synchronize_kernel API that somehow snuck back in, merging spin_unlock() and local_irq_restore() in a few places, commenting the code that checks for quiescent states based on interrupting from user-mode execution or the idle loop, removing some inline attributes, and some code-style changes. Known/suspected shortcomings: o I still do not entirely trust the sleep/wakeup logic. Next step will be to use a private snapshot of the CPU online mask in rcu_sched_grace_period() -- if the CPU wasn't there at the start of the grace period, we don't need to hear from it. And the bit about accounting for changes in online CPUs inside of rcu_sched_grace_period() is ugly anyway. o It might be good for rcu_sched_grace_period() to invoke resched_cpu() when a given CPU wasn't responding quickly, but resched_cpu() is declared static... This patch also fixes a long-standing bug in the earlier preemptable-RCU implementation of synchronize_rcu() that could result in loss of concurrent external changes to a task's CPU affinity mask.

Some FireWire disk firmwares do not stop the motor if power condition is zero. Or worse, they become unresponsive after a START STOP UNIT with power condition = 0 and start = 0. http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/4/29/704 This patch only adds the necessary code to sd_mod but doesn't activate it. Follow-up patches to the FireWire drivers will add detection of affected devices and enable the code for them. I did not add power condition values to scsi_error.c::scsi_eh_try_stu() for now. The three firmwares which suffer from above mentioned problems do not need START STOP UNIT in the error handler, and they are not adversely affected by START STOP UNIT with power condition = 0 and start = 1 (like scsi_eh_try_stu() sends it if scsi_device.allow_restart is enabled).

Removing the flush gets us approximately 10% bandwidth improvement. I believe this to be because the CPU can start queueing the next request instead of waiting for the readl() to flush the writes to the device. The flush isn't necessary because we're using a 'queue' metaphor; we don't guarantee the command has got to the device, nor do we need to guarantee the command has got to the controller.
