* signals: kill the awful task_rq_unlock_wait() hackOleg Nesterov2010-05-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that task->signal can't go away we can revert the horrible hack added by ad474caca3e2a0550b7ce0706527ad5ab389a4d4 ("fix for account_group_exec_runtime(), make sure ->signal can't be freed under rq->lock"). And we can do more cleanups sched_stats.h/posix-cpu-timers.c later.

| * wait_event_interruptible_locked() interfaceMichal Nazarewicz2010-05-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | New wait_event_interruptible{,_exclusive}_locked{,_irq} macros added. They work just like versions without _locked* suffix but require the wait queue's lock to be held. Also __wake_up_locked() is now exported as to pair it with the above macros. The use case of this new facility is when one uses wait queue's lock to protect a data structure. This may be advantageous if the structure needs to be protected by a spinlock anyway. In particular, with additional spinlock the following code has to be used to wait for a condition: spin_lock(&data.lock); ... for (ret = 0; !ret && !(condition); ) { spin_unlock(&data.lock); ret = wait_event_interruptible(data.wqh, (condition)); spin_lock(&data.lock); } ... spin_unlock(&data.lock); This looks bizarre plus wait_event_interruptible() locks the wait queue's lock anyway so there is a unlock+lock sequence where it could be avoided. To avoid those problems and benefit from wait queue's lock, a code similar to the following should be used: /* Waiting */ spin_lock(&data.wqh.lock); ... ret = wait_event_interruptible_locked(data.wqh, (condition)); ... spin_unlock(&data.wqh.lock); /* Waiting exclusively */ spin_lock(&data.whq.lock); ... ret = wait_event_interruptible_exclusive_locked(data.whq, (condition)); ... spin_unlock(&data.whq.lock); /* Waking up */ spin_lock(&data.wqh.lock); ... wake_up_locked(&data.wqh); ... spin_unlock(&data.wqh.lock); When spin_lock_irq() is used matching versions of macros need to be used (*_locked_irq()).

| | * | sched: replace migration_thread with cpu_stopTejun Heo2010-05-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

(*) in fact we clear PF_STARTING, which in effect enables TASK_WAKING. Cure the second issue by not setting TASK_WAKING in sched_fork(), but only temporarily in wake_up_new_task() while calling select_task_rq(). Cure the first by holding rq->lock around the select_task_rq() call, this will disable IRQs, this however requires that we push down the rq->lock release into select_task_rq_fair()'s cgroup stuff. Because select_task_rq_fair() still needs to drop the rq->lock we cannot fully get rid of TASK_WAKING.

And, if ->sched_class returns the "wrong" cpu, this likely means we raced with set_cpus_allowed() which was called for reason, why should sched_exec() retry and call ->select_task_rq() again? Change the code to call sched_class->select_task_rq() directly and do nothing if the returned cpu is wrong after re-checking under rq->lock.

To avoid the races with other callers of select_fallback_rq() which rely on TASK_WAKING, we also check p->state != TASK_WAKING and do nothing otherwise. The owner of TASK_WAKING must update ->cpus_allowed and choose the correct CPU anyway, and the subsequent __migrate_task() is just meaningless because p->se.on_rq must be false. Alternatively, we could change select_task_rq() to take rq->lock right after it calls sched_class->select_task_rq(), but this looks a bit ugly. Also, change it to not assume irqs are disabled and absorb __migrate_task_irq().

It is needed for cpuset_cpus_allowed_locked() but we can't take this lock in try_to_wake_up()->select_fallback_rq() path. - cpuset_lock() is deadlockable. Suppose that a task T bound to CPU takes callback_mutex. If cpu_down(CPU) happens before T drops callback_mutex stop_machine() preempts T, then migration_call(CPU_DEAD) tries to take cpuset_lock() and hangs forever because CPU is already dead and thus T can't be scheduled. - cpuset_cpus_allowed_locked() is deadlockable too. It takes task_lock() which is not irq-safe, but try_to_wake_up() can be called from irq. Kill them, and change select_fallback_rq() to use cpu_possible_mask, like we currently do without CONFIG_CPUSETS. Also, with or without this patch, with or without CONFIG_CPUSETS, the callers of select_fallback_rq() can race with each other or with set_cpus_allowed() pathes. The subsequent patches try to to fix these problems.

This can't be fixed without increasing overhead in our already too fat fastpath. Additionally, with recent load balancing changes making us prefer to place tasks in an idle cache domain (which is good for compute bound loads), communicating tasks suffer when a sync wakeup, which would enable affine placement, is turned into a non-sync wakeup by SYNC_LESS. With one task on the runqueue, wake_affine() rejects the affine wakeup request, leaving the unfortunate where placed, taking frequent cache misses. Remove it, and recover some fastpath cycles.

* | | | | | | rcu: refactor RCU's context-switch handlingPaul E. McKenney2010-05-10

For RCU-sched, a context switch is a quiescent state, pure and simple, just like it always has been. For RCU-preempt, a context switch is in no way a quiescent state, but special handling is required when a task blocks in an RCU read-side critical section. However, the callout from the scheduler and the outer loop in ksoftirqd still calls something named rcu_sched_qs(), whose name is no longer accurate. Furthermore, when rcu_check_callbacks() notes an RCU-sched quiescent state, it ends up unnecessarily (though harmlessly, aside from the performance hit) enqueuing the current task if it happens to be running in an RCU-preempt read-side critical section. This not only increases the maximum latency of scheduler_tick(), it also needlessly increases the overhead of the next outermost rcu_read_unlock() invocation. This patch addresses this situation by separating the notion of RCU's context-switch handling from that of RCU-sched's quiescent states. The context-switch handling is covered by rcu_note_context_switch() in general and by rcu_preempt_note_context_switch() for preemptible RCU. This permits rcu_sched_qs() to handle quiescent states and only quiescent states. It also reduces the maximum latency of scheduler_tick(), though probably by much less than a microsecond. Finally, it means that tasks within preemptible-RCU read-side critical sections avoid incurring the overhead of queuing unless there really is a context switch.

Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.
