| * rcu: Make callers awaken grace-period kthreadPaul E. McKenney2014-04-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The rcu_start_gp_advanced() function currently uses irq_work_queue() to defer wakeups of the RCU grace-period kthread. This deferring is necessary to avoid RCU-scheduler deadlocks involving the rcu_node structure's lock, meaning that RCU cannot call any of the scheduler's wake-up functions while holding one of these locks. Unfortunately, the second and subsequent calls to irq_work_queue() are ignored, and the first call will be ignored (aside from queuing the work item) if the scheduler-clock tick is turned off. This is OK for many uses, especially those where irq_work_queue() is called from an interrupt or softirq handler, because in those cases the scheduler-clock-tick state will be re-evaluated, which will turn the scheduler-clock tick back on. On the next tick, any deferred work will then be processed. However, this strategy does not always work for RCU, which can be invoked at process level from idle CPUs. In this case, the tick might never be turned back on, indefinitely defering a grace-period start request. Note that the RCU CPU stall detector cannot see this condition, because there is no RCU grace period in progress. Therefore, we can (and do!) see long tens-of-seconds stalls in grace-period handling. In theory, we could see a full grace-period hang, but rcutorture testing to date has seen only the tens-of-seconds stalls. Event tracing demonstrates that irq_work_queue() is being called repeatedly to no effect during these stalls: The "newreq" event appears repeatedly from a task that is not one of the grace-period kthreads. In theory, irq_work_queue() might be fixed to avoid this sort of issue, but RCU's requirements are unusual and it is quite straightforward to pass wake-up responsibility up through RCU's call chain, so that the wakeup happens when the offending locks are released. This commit therefore makes this change. The rcu_start_gp_advanced(), rcu_start_future_gp(), rcu_accelerate_cbs(), rcu_advance_cbs(), __note_gp_changes(), and rcu_start_gp() functions now return a boolean which indicates when a wake-up is needed. A new rcu_gp_kthread_wake() does the wakeup when it is necessary and safe to do so: No self-wakes, no wake-ups if the ->gp_flags field indicates there is no need (as in someone else did the wake-up before we got around to it), and no wake-ups before the grace-period kthread has been created.

| * rcu: Update cpu_needs_another_gp() for futures from non-NOCB CPUsPaul E. McKenney2014-04-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the old days, the only source of requests for future grace periods was NOCB CPUs. This has changed: CPUs routinely post requests for future grace periods in order to promote power efficiency and reduce OS jitter with minimal impact on grace-period latency. This commit therefore updates cpu_needs_another_gp() to invoke rcu_future_needs_gp() instead of rcu_nocb_needs_gp(). The latter is no longer used, so is now removed.

* | rcu: Provide grace-period piggybacking APIPaul E. McKenney2014-03-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The following pattern is currently not well supported by RCU: 1. Make data element inaccessible to RCU readers. 2. Do work that probably lasts for more than one grace period. 3. Do something to make sure RCU readers in flight before #1 above have completed. Here are some things that could currently be done: a. Do a synchronize_rcu() unconditionally at either #1 or #3 above. This works, but imposes needless work and latency. b. Post an RCU callback at #1 above that does a wakeup, then wait for the wakeup at #3. This works well, but likely results in an extra unneeded grace period. Open-coding this is also a bit more semi-tricky code than would be good. This commit therefore adds get_state_synchronize_rcu() and cond_synchronize_rcu() APIs. Call get_state_synchronize_rcu() at #1 above and pass its return value to cond_synchronize_rcu() at #3 above. This results in a call to synchronize_rcu() if no grace period has elapsed between #1 and #3, but requires only a load, comparison, and memory barrier if a full grace period did elapse.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Not all of the rcutorture kthreads waited for kthread_should_stop() before returning from their top-level functions, and none of them used torture_shutdown_absorb() properly.

This commit therefore creates a torture_kthread_stopping() function that does the proper kthread shutdown dance in one centralized location. Accommodate this grouping by making VERBOSE_TOROUT_STRING() capable of taking a non-const string as its argument, which allows the new torture_kthread_stopping() to pass its "title" argument directly to the updated version of VERBOSE_TOROUT_STRING().

| * rcu: Ensure kernel/rcu/rcu.h can be sourced/used stand-alonePaul Gortmaker2014-02-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The kbuild test bot uncovered an implicit dependence on the trace header being present before rcu.h in ia64 allmodconfig that looks like this: In file included from kernel/ksysfs.c:22:0: kernel/rcu/rcu.h: In function '__rcu_reclaim': kernel/rcu/rcu.h:107:3: error: implicit declaration of function 'trace_rcu_invoke_kfree_callback' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration] kernel/rcu/rcu.h:112:3: error: implicit declaration of function 'trace_rcu_invoke_callback' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration] cc1: some warnings being treated as errors Looking at other rcu.h users, we can find that they all were sourcing the trace header in advance of rcu.h itself, as seen in the context of this diff. There were also some inconsistencies as to whether it was or wasn't sourced based on the parent tracing Kconfig. Rather than "fix" it at each use site, and have inconsistent use based on whether "#ifdef CONFIG_RCU_TRACE" was used or not, lets just source the trace header just once, in the actual consumer of it, which is rcu.h itself. We include it unconditionally, as build testing shows us that is a hard requirement for some files.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For better use of CPU idle time, allow the scheduler to select the CPU on which the SRCU grace period work would be scheduled. This improves idle residency time and conserves power. This functionality is enabled when CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT is selected. Cc: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@cn.fujitsu.com> Cc: "Paul E.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | The ->n_force_qs_lh field is accessed without the benefit of any synchronization, so this commit adds the needed ACCESS_ONCE() wrappers. Yes, increments to ->n_force_qs_lh can be lost, but contention should be low and the field is strictly statistical in nature, so this is not a problem. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

| * introduce __fcheck_files() to fix rcu_dereference_check_fdtable(), kill ↵Oleg Nesterov2014-01-25

A CLONE_THREAD (without CLONE_FILES) task can hit the same race with get_files_struct(). And otoh rcu_my_thread_group_empty() can suppress the correct warning if the caller is the CLONE_FILES (without CLONE_THREAD) task. 2. files->count == 1 check is not really right too. Even if this files_struct is not shared it is not safe to access it lockless unless the caller is the owner. Otoh, this check is sub-optimal. files->count == 0 always means it is safe to use it lockless even if files != current->files, but put_files_struct() has to take rcu_read_lock(). See the next patch. This patch removes the buggy checks and turns fcheck_files() into __fcheck_files() which uses rcu_dereference_raw(), the "unshared" callers, fget_light() and fget_raw_light(), can use it to avoid the warning from RCU-lockdep. fcheck_files() is trivially reimplemented as rcu_lockdep_assert() plus __fcheck_files().
