* rcu: Make rcu_torture_boost() exit loops at end of testPaul E. McKenney2011-09-29
| | | | | | | | | | One of the loops in rcu_torture_boost() fails to check kthread_should_stop(), and thus might be slowing or even stopping completion of rcutorture tests at rmmod time. This commit adds the kthread_should_stop() check to the offending loop. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paul.mckenney@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
* rcu: Make rcu_torture_fqs() exit loops at end of testPaul E. McKenney2011-09-29
| | | | | | | | | The rcu_torture_fqs() function can prevent the rcutorture tests from completing, resulting in a hang. This commit therefore ensures that rcu_torture_fqs() will exit its inner loops at the end of the test, and also applies the newish ULONG_CMP_LT() macro to time comparisons. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

* rcu: Allow rcutorture's stat_interval parameter to be changed at runtimePaul E. McKenney2011-09-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When rcutorture is compiled directly into the kernel (instead of separately as a module), it is necessary to specify rcutorture.stat_interval as a kernel command-line parameter, otherwise, the rcu_torture_stats kthread is never started. However, when working with the system after it has booted, it is convenient to be able to change the time between statistic printing, particularly when logged into the console. This commit therefore allows the stat_interval parameter to be changed at runtime. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
* rcu: Don't destroy rcu_torture_boost() callback until it is donePaul E. McKenney2011-09-29
| | | | | | | | | | The rcu_torture_boost() cleanup code destroyed debug-objects state before waiting for the last RCU callback to be invoked, resulting in rare but very real debug-objects warnings.

* rcu: Catch rcutorture up to new RCU API additionsPaul E. McKenney2011-09-29

Make rcutorture test synchronize_rcu_bh(), getting rid of the old rcu_bh_torture_synchronize() workaround. Similarly, make rcutorture test synchronize_sched(), getting rid of the old sched_torture_synchronize() workaround. Make rcutorture test call_rcu_sched() instead of wrappering synchronize_sched().

* rcu: Use kthread_create_on_node()Eric Dumazet2011-09-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit a26ac2455ffc (move TREE_RCU from softirq to kthread) added per-CPU kthreads. However, kthread creation uses kthread_create(), which can put the kthread's stack and task struct on the wrong NUMA node. Therefore, use kthread_create_on_node() instead of kthread_create() so that the stacks and task structs are placed on the correct NUMA node. A similar change was carried out in commit 94dcf29a11b3 (kthread: use kthread_create_on_node()). Also change rcutorture's priority-boost-test kthread creation.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently migration_thread is serving three purposes - migration pusher, context to execute active_load_balance() and forced context switcher for expedited RCU synchronize_sched. All three roles are hardcoded into migration_thread() and determining which job is scheduled is slightly messy. This patch kills migration_thread and replaces all three uses with cpu_stop. The three different roles of migration_thread() are splitted into three separate cpu_stop callbacks - migration_cpu_stop(), active_load_balance_cpu_stop() and synchronize_sched_expedited_cpu_stop() - and each use case now simply asks cpu_stop to execute the callback as necessary. synchronize_sched_expedited() was implemented with private preallocated resources and custom multi-cpu queueing and waiting logic, both of which are provided by cpu_stop. synchronize_sched_expedited_count is made atomic and all other shared resources along with the mutex are dropped. synchronize_sched_expedited() also implemented a check to detect cases where not all the callback got executed on their assigned cpus and fall back to synchronize_sched(). If called with cpu hotplug blocked, cpu_stop already guarantees that and the condition cannot happen; otherwise, stop_machine() would break. However, this patch preserves the paranoid check using a cpumask to record on which cpus the stopper ran so that it can serve as a bisection point if something actually goes wrong theree. Because the internal execution state is no longer visible, rcu_expedited_torture_stats() is removed. This patch also renames cpu_stop threads to from "stopper/%d" to "migration/%d". The names of these threads ultimately don't matter and there's no reason to make unnecessary userland visible changes. With this patch applied, stop_machine() and sched now share the same resources. stop_machine() is faster without wasting any resources and sched migration users are much cleaner.

* | | rcu: Introduce lockdep-based checking to RCU read-side primitivesPaul E. McKenney2010-02-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Inspection is proving insufficient to catch all RCU misuses, which is understandable given that rcu_dereference() might be protected by any of four different flavors of RCU (RCU, RCU-bh, RCU-sched, and SRCU), and might also/instead be protected by any of a number of locking primitives. It is therefore time to enlist the aid of lockdep. This set of patches is inspired by earlier work by Peter Zijlstra and Thomas Gleixner, and takes the following approach: o Set up separate lockdep classes for RCU, RCU-bh, and RCU-sched. o Set up separate lockdep classes for each instance of SRCU. o Create primitives that check for being in an RCU read-side critical section. These return exact answers if lockdep is fully enabled, but if unsure, report being in an RCU read-side critical section. (We want to avoid false positives!) The primitives are: For RCU: rcu_read_lock_held(void) For RCU-bh: rcu_read_lock_bh_held(void) For RCU-sched: rcu_read_lock_sched_held(void) For SRCU: srcu_read_lock_held(struct srcu_struct *sp) o Add rcu_dereference_check(), which takes a second argument in which one places a boolean expression based on the above primitives and/or lockdep_is_held(). o A new kernel configuration parameter, CONFIG_PROVE_RCU, enables rcu_dereference_check(). This depends on CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING, and should be quite helpful during the transition period while CONFIG_PROVE_RCU-unaware patches are in flight. The existing rcu_dereference() primitive does no checking, but upcoming patches will change that. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

* rcu: fix bug in rcutorture system-shutdown codePaul E. McKenney2009-01-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes an rcutorture bug found by Eric Sesterhenn that resulted in oopses in response to "rmmod rcutorture". The problem was in some new code that attempted to handle the case where a system is shut down while rcutorture is still running, for example, when rcutorture is built into the kernel so that it cannot be removed. The fix causes the rcutorture threads to "park" in an schedule_timeout_uninterruptible(MAX_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT) rather than trying to get them to terminate cleanly. Concurrent shutdown and rmmod is illegal. I believe that this is 2.6.29 material, as it is used in some testing setups. For reference, here are the rcutorture operating modes: CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST=m This is the normal rcutorture build. Use "modprobe rcutorture" (with optional arguments) to start, and "rmmod rcutorture" to stop. If you shut the system down without doing the rmmod, you should see console output like: rcutorture thread rcu_torture_writer parking due to system shutdown One for each rcutorture kthread. CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST=y CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST_RUNNABLE=n Use this if you want rcutorture built in, but don't want the test to start running during early boot. To start the torturing: echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/rcutorture_runnable To stop the torturing, s/1/0/ You will get "parking" console messages as noted above when you shut the system down. CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST=y CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST_RUNNABLE=y Same as above, except that the torturing starts during early boot. Only for the stout of heart and strong of stomach. The same /proc entry noted above may be used to control the test. Located-by: Eric Sesterhenn <snakebyte@gmx.de> Tested-by: Eric Sesterhenn <snakebyte@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

* cpumask: convert RCU implementationsRusty Russell2008-12-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: use new cpumask API. rcu_ctrlblk contains a cpumask, and it's highly optimized so I don't want a cpumask_var_t (ie. a pointer) for the CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK case. It could use a dangling bitmap, and be allocated in __rcu_init to save memory, but for the moment we use a bitmap. (Eventually 'struct cpumask' will be undefined for CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK, so we use a bitmap here to show we really mean it). We remove on-stack cpumasks, using cpumask_var_t for rcu_torture_shuffle_tasks() and for_each_cpu_and in force_quiescent_state(). Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
* rcu: fix rcutorture behavior during rebootPaul E. McKenney2008-12-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: fix very rare reboot hang Because rcutorture ignored all signals, it does not terminate in response to the signals sent at shutdown time. This can cause strange failures due to its continuing to make use of kernel function too late in the shutdown sequence. This patch therefore adds a shutdown notifier to rcutorture, causing it to shut down in response to a reboot or an orderly shutdown. 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.

* rcu: make rcutorture more vicious: add stutter featurePaul E. McKenney2008-06-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch takes a step towards making rcutorture more brutal by allowing the test to be automatically periodically paused, with the default being to run the test for five seconds then pause for five seconds and repeat. 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.
