* cpumask: convert kernel/workqueue.cRusty Russell2008-12-31
| | | | | | | | | | Impact: Reduce memory usage, use new cpumask API. cpu_populated_map becomes a cpumask_var_t, and cpu_singlethread_map is simply a cpumask pointer: it's simply the cpumask containing the first possible CPU anyway. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

| * cpumask: introduce new API, without changing anythingRusty Russell2008-11-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: introduce new APIs We want to deprecate cpumasks on the stack, as we are headed for gynormous numbers of CPUs. Eventually, we want to head towards an undefined 'struct cpumask' so they can never be declared on stack. 1) New cpumask functions which take pointers instead of copies. (cpus_* -> cpumask_*) 2) Several new helpers to reduce requirements for temporary cpumasks (cpumask_first_and, cpumask_next_and, cpumask_any_and) 3) Helpers for declaring cpumasks on or offstack for large NR_CPUS (cpumask_var_t, alloc_cpumask_var and free_cpumask_var) 4) 'struct cpumask' for explicitness and to mark new-style code. 5) Make iterator functions stop at nr_cpu_ids (a runtime constant), not NR_CPUS for time efficiency and for smaller dynamic allocations in future. 6) cpumask_copy() so we can allocate less than a full cpumask eventually (for alloc_cpumask_var), and so we can eliminate the 'struct cpumask' definition eventually. 7) work_on_cpu() helper for doing task on a CPU, rather than saving old cpumask for current thread and manipulating it. 8) smp_call_function_many() which is smp_call_function_mask() except taking a cpumask pointer. Note that this patch simply introduces the new functions and leaves the obsolescent ones in place. This is to simplify the transition patches.

* workqueue: introduce create_rt_workqueueHeiko Carstens2008-10-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | create_rt_workqueue will create a real time prioritized workqueue. This is needed for the conversion of stop_machine to a workqueue based implementation. This patch adds yet another parameter to __create_workqueue_key to tell it that we want an rt workqueue. However it looks like we rather should have something like "int type" instead of singlethread, freezable and rt.

* workqueues: make get_online_cpus() useable for work->func()Oleg Nesterov2008-07-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | workqueue_cpu_callback(CPU_DEAD) flushes cwq->thread under cpu_maps_update_begin(). This means that the multithreaded workqueues can't use get_online_cpus() due to the possible deadlock, very bad and very old problem. Introduce the new state, CPU_POST_DEAD, which is called after cpu_hotplug_done() but before cpu_maps_update_done(). Change workqueue_cpu_callback() to use CPU_POST_DEAD instead of CPU_DEAD. This means that create/destroy functions can't rely on get_online_cpus() any longer and should take cpu_add_remove_lock instead.

* workqueues: implement flush_work()Oleg Nesterov2008-07-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Most of users of flush_workqueue() can be changed to use cancel_work_sync(), but sometimes we really need to wait for the completion and cancelling is not an option. schedule_on_each_cpu() is good example. Add the new helper, flush_work(work), which waits for the completion of the specific work_struct. More precisely, it "flushes" the result of of the last queue_work() which is visible to the caller. For example, this code queue_work(wq, work); /* WINDOW */ queue_work(wq, work); flush_work(work); doesn't necessary work "as expected". What can happen in the WINDOW above is - wq starts the execution of work->func() - the caller migrates to another CPU now, after the 2nd queue_work() this work is active on the previous CPU, and at the same time it is queued on another. In this case flush_work(work) may return before the first work->func() completes. It is trivial to add another helper int flush_work_sync(struct work_struct *work) { return flush_work(work) || wait_on_work(work); } which works "more correctly", but it has to iterate over all CPUs and thus it much slower than flush_work().

* workqueues: shrink cpu_populated_map when CPU diesOleg Nesterov2008-04-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When cpu_populated_map was introduced, it was supposed that cwq->thread can survive after CPU_DEAD, that is why we never shrink cpu_populated_map. This is not very nice, we can safely remove the already dead CPU from the map. The only required change is that destroy_workqueue() must hold the hotplug lock until it destroys all cwq->thread's, to protect the cpu_populated_map. We could make the local copy of cpu mask and drop the lock, but sizeof(cpumask_t) may be very large. Also, fix the comment near queue_work(). Unless _cpu_down() happens we do guarantee the cpu-affinity of the work_struct, and we have users which rely on this.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Dave Young reported warnings from lockdep that the workqueue API can sometimes try to register lockdep classes with the same key but different names. This is not permitted in lockdep. Unfortunately, I was unaware of that restriction when I wrote the code to debug workqueue problems with lockdep and used the workqueue name as the lockdep class name. This can obviously lead to the problem if the workqueue name is dynamic. This patch solves the problem by always using a constant name for the workqueue's lockdep class, namely either the constant name that was passed in or a string consisting of the variable name.

* destroy_workqueue() can livelockOleg Nesterov2007-07-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Pointed out by Michal Schmidt <mschmidt@redhat.com>. The bug was introduced in 2.6.22 by me. cleanup_workqueue_thread() does flush_cpu_workqueue(cwq) in a loop until ->worklist becomes empty. This is live-lockable, a re-niced caller can get CPU after wake_up() and insert a new barrier before the lower-priority cwq->thread has a chance to clear ->current_work. Change cleanup_workqueue_thread() to do flush_cpu_workqueue(cwq) only once. We can rely on the fact that run_workqueue() won't return until it flushes all works. So it is safe to call kthread_stop() after that, the "should stop" request won't be noticed until run_workqueue() returns.

* Freezer: make kernel threads nonfreezable by defaultRafael J. Wysocki2007-07-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves. This approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't care for the freezing of tasks at all. It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is done in this patch. The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie. to have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable() function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to unset PF_NOFREEZE. It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional) change of behaviour to appear. Additionally, it updates documentation to describe the freezing of tasks more accurately. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: build fixes] Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

* rename cancel_rearming_delayed_work() to cancel_delayed_work_sync()Oleg Nesterov2007-07-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Imho, the current naming of cancel_xxx workqueue functions is very confusing. cancel_delayed_work() cancel_rearming_delayed_work() cancel_rearming_delayed_workqueue() // obsolete cancel_work_sync() This looks as if the first 2 functions differ in "type" of their argument which is not true any longer, nowadays the difference is the behaviour. The semantics of cancel_rearming_delayed_work(dwork) was changed significantly, it doesn't require that dwork rearms itself, and cancels dwork synchronously. Rename it to cancel_delayed_work_sync(). This matches cancel_delayed_work() and cancel_work_sync(). Re-create cancel_rearming_delayed_work() as a simple inline obsolete wrapper, like cancel_rearming_delayed_workqueue().

* simplify cleanup_workqueue_thread()Oleg Nesterov2007-05-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | cleanup_workqueue_thread() and cwq_should_stop() are overcomplicated. Convert the code to use kthread_should_stop/kthread_stop as was suggested by Gautham and Srivatsa. In particular this patch removes the (unlikely) busy-wait loop from the exit path, it was a temporary and ugly kludge (if not a bug). Note: the current code was designed to solve another old problem: work->func can't share locks with hotplug callbacks. I think this could be done, see http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=116905366428633 but this needs some more complications to preserve CPU affinity of cwq->thread during cpu_up(). A freezer-based hotplug looks more appealing.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since nonboot CPUs are now disabled after tasks and devices have been frozen and the CPU hotplug infrastructure is used for this purpose, we need special CPU hotplug notifications that will help the CPU-hotplug-aware subsystems distinguish normal CPU hotplug events from CPU hotplug events related to a system-wide suspend or resume operation in progress. This patch introduces such notifications and causes them to be used during suspend and resume transitions. It also changes all of the CPU-hotplug-aware subsystems to take these notifications into consideration (for now they are handled in the same way as the corresponding "normal" ones).

* make cancel_rearming_delayed_work() reliableOleg Nesterov2007-05-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Thanks to Jarek Poplawski for the ideas and for spotting the bug in the initial draft patch. cancel_rearming_delayed_work() currently has many limitations, because it requires that dwork always re-arms itself via queue_delayed_work(). So it hangs forever if dwork doesn't do this, or cancel_rearming_delayed_work/ cancel_delayed_work was already called. It uses flush_workqueue() in a loop, so it can't be used if workqueue was freezed, and it is potentially live- lockable on busy system if delay is small. With this patch cancel_rearming_delayed_work() doesn't make any assumptions about dwork, it can re-arm itself via queue_delayed_work(), or queue_work(), or do nothing. As a "side effect", cancel_work_sync() was changed to handle re-arming works as well. Disadvantages: - this patch adds wmb() to insert_work(). - slowdowns the fast path (when del_timer() succeeds on entry) of cancel_rearming_delayed_work(), because wait_on_work() is called unconditionally. In that case, compared to the old version, we are doing "unneeded" lock/unlock for each online CPU. On the other hand, this means we don't need to use cancel_work_sync() after cancel_rearming_delayed_work(). - complicates the code (.text grows by 130 bytes).

* unify flush_work/flush_work_keventd and rename it to cancel_work_syncOleg Nesterov2007-05-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | flush_work(wq, work) doesn't need the first parameter, we can use cwq->wq (this was possible from the very beginnig, I missed this). So we can unify flush_work_keventd and flush_work. Also, rename flush_work() to cancel_work_sync() and fix all callers. Perhaps this is not the best name, but "flush_work" is really bad.

* worker_thread: fix racy try_to_freeze() usageOleg Nesterov2007-05-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | worker_thread() can miss freeze_process()->signal_wake_up() if it happens between try_to_freeze() and prepare_to_wait(). We should check freezing() before entering schedule().

* make cancel_rearming_delayed_work() work on any workqueue, not just keventd_wqOleg Nesterov2007-05-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | cancel_rearming_delayed_workqueue(wq, dwork) doesn't need the first parameter. We don't hang on un-queued dwork any longer, and work->data doesn't change its type. This means we can always figure out "wq" from dwork when it is needed. Remove this parameter, and rename the function to cancel_rearming_delayed_work(). Re-create an inline "obsolete" cancel_rearming_delayed_workqueue(wq) which just calls cancel_rearming_delayed_work().

* make queue_delayed_work() friendly to flush_fork()Oleg Nesterov2007-05-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently typeof(delayed_work->work.data) is "struct workqueue_struct" when the timer is pending "struct cpu_workqueue_struct" whe the work is queued This makes impossible to use flush_fork(delayed_work->work) in addition to cancel_delayed_work/cancel_rearming_delayed_work, not good. Change queue_delayed_work/delayed_work_timer_fn to use cwq, not wq. This complicates (and uglifies) these functions a little bit, but alows us to use flush_fork(dwork) and imho makes the whole code more consistent. Also, document the fact that cancel_rearming_delayed_work() doesn't garantee the completion of work->func() upon return.
