| * workqueue: define masks for work flags and conditionalize STATIC flagsTejun Heo2010-06-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Work flags are about to see more traditional mask handling. Define WORK_STRUCT_*_BIT as the bit position constant and redefine WORK_STRUCT_* as bit masks. Also, make WORK_STRUCT_STATIC_* flags conditional While at it, re-define these constants as enums and use WORK_STRUCT_STATIC instead of hard-coding 2 in WORK_DATA_STATIC_INIT().

| * workqueue: merge feature parameters into flagsTejun Heo2010-06-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, __create_workqueue_key() takes @singlethread and @freezeable paramters and store them separately in workqueue_struct. Merge them into a single flags parameter and field and use WQ_FREEZEABLE and WQ_SINGLE_THREAD. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
| * workqueue: misc/cosmetic updatesTejun Heo2010-06-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make the following updates in preparation of concurrency managed workqueue. None of these changes causes any visible behavior difference. * Add comments and adjust indentations to data structures and several functions. * Rename wq_per_cpu() to get_cwq() and swap the position of two parameters for consistency. Convert a direct per_cpu_ptr() access to wq->cpu_wq to get_cwq(). * Add work_static() and Update set_wq_data() such that it sets the flags part to WORK_STRUCT_PENDING | WORK_STRUCT_STATIC if static | @extra_flags. * Move santiy check on work->entry emptiness from queue_work_on() to __queue_work() which all queueing paths share. * Make __queue_work() take @cpu and @wq instead of @cwq. * Restructure flush_work() and __create_workqueue_key() to make them easier to modify.

* | lockdep: Add an in_workqueue_context() lockdep-based test functionPaul E. McKenney2010-06-14
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some recent uses of RCU make use of workqueues. In these uses, execution within the context of a specific workqueue takes the place of the usual RCU read-side primitives such as rcu_read_lock(), and flushing of workqueues takes the place of the usual RCU grace-period primitives. Checking for correct use of rcu_dereference() in such cases requires a test of whether the code is executing in the context of a particular workqueue. This commit adds an in_workqueue_context() function that provides this test. This new function is only defined when lockdep is enabled, which allows it to be used as the second argument of rcu_dereference_check(). Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

* workqueue: change cancel_work_sync() to clear work->dataOleg Nesterov2010-04-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In short: change cancel_work_sync(work) to mark this work as "never queued" upon return. When cancel_work_sync(work) succeeds, we know that this work can't be queued or running, and since we own WORK_STRUCT_PENDING nobody can change the bits in work->data under us. This means we can also clear the "cwq" part along with _PENDING bit lockless before return, unless the work is queued nobody can assume get_wq_data() is stable even under cwq->lock. This change can speedup the subsequent cancel/flush requests, and as Dmitry pointed out this simplifies the usage of work_struct's which can be queued on different workqueues. Consider this pseudo code from the input subsystem: struct workqueue_struct *WQ; struct work_struct *WORK; for (;;) { WQ = create_workqueue(); ... if (condition()) queue_work(WQ, WORK); ... cancel_work_sync(WORK); destroy_workqueue(WQ); } If condition() returns T and then F, cancel_work_sync() will crash the kernel because WORK->data still points to the already destroyed workqueue. With this patch the code like above becomes correct. Suggested-by: Dmitry Torokhov <dmitry.torokhov@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

* work_on_cpu(): rewrite it to create a kernel thread on demandAndrew Morton2009-04-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: circular locking bugfix The various implemetnations and proposed implemetnations of work_on_cpu() are vulnerable to various deadlocks because they all used queues of some form. Unrelated pieces of kernel code thus gained dependencies wherein if one work_on_cpu() caller holds a lock which some other work_on_cpu() callback also takes, the kernel could rarely deadlock. Fix this by creating a short-lived kernel thread for each work_on_cpu() invokation. This is not terribly fast, but the only current caller of work_on_cpu() is pci_call_probe(). It would be nice to find some other way of doing the node-local allocations in the PCI probe code so that we can zap work_on_cpu() altogether. The code there is rather nasty. I can't think of anything simple at this time... Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

It can help to evaluate the amount of work each of them have to perform. For example it can help a developer to decide whether he should choose a per cpu workqueue instead of a singlethreaded one. It only traces statistical informations for now but it will probably later provide event tracing too. Such a tracer could help too, and be improved, to help rt priority sorted workqueue development.

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.

Change the code to fulfil the CPU_UP_CANCELED logic if CPU_UP_PREPARE fails.

* 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: insert_work: use "list_head *" instead of "int tail"Oleg Nesterov2008-07-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | insert_work() inserts the new work_struct before or after cwq->worklist, depending on the "int tail" parameter. Change it to accept "list_head *" instead, this shrinks .text a bit and allows us to insert the barrier after specific work_struct.

* pm: introduce new interfaces schedule_work_on() and queue_work_on()Zhang Rui2008-07-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This interface allows adding a job on a specific cpu. Although a work struct on a cpu will be scheduled to other cpu if the cpu dies, there is a recursion if a work task tries to offline the cpu it's running on. we need to schedule the task to a specific cpu in this case. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10897 [oleg@tv-sign.ru: cleanups] Signed-off-by: Zhang Rui <rui.zhang@intel.com> Tested-by: Rus <harbour@sfinx.od.ua> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
