* generic ipi function calls: wait on alloc failure fallbackJeremy Fitzhardinge2008-07-15
| | | | | | | | | | When a GFP_ATOMIC allocation fails, it falls back to allocating the data on the stack and converting it to a waiting call. Make sure we actually wait in this case.

| | * Add generic helpers for arch IPI function callsJens Axboe2008-06-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds kernel/smp.c which contains helpers for IPI function calls. In addition to supporting the existing smp_call_function() in a more efficient manner, it also adds a more scalable variant called smp_call_function_single() for calling a given function on a single CPU only. The core of this is based on the x86-64 patch from Nick Piggin, lots of changes since then. "Alan D. Brunelle" <Alan.Brunelle@hp.com> has contributed lots of fixes and suggestions as well.

[ Paul E. McKenney: ] The effect of this bug would be for force_quiescent_state() to be invoked when it should not and vice versa -- wasting cycles in the first case and letting RCU callbacks remain piled up in the second case. The bug is thus "benign" in that it does not result in premature grace-period termination, but should of course be fixed nonetheless. Preemption is disabled by the caller's get_cpu_var(), so we are guaranteed to remain on the same CPU, as required. The local_irq_disable() is indeed needed, otherwise, an interrupt might invoke call_rcu() or call_rcu_bh(), which could cause that interrupt's increment of ->qlen to be lost.

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.

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.

Without this patch, if a CPU goes dynticks idle (and stays there forever) in just the right phase of preemptible-RCU grace-period processing, grace periods stall. The offending sequence of events (courtesy of Promela/spin, at least after I got the liveness criterion coded correctly...) is as follows: o CPU 0 is in dynticks-idle mode. Its dynticks_progress_counter is (say) 10. o CPU 0 takes an interrupt, so rcu_irq_enter() increments CPU 0's dynticks_progress_counter to 11. o CPU 1 is doing RCU grace-period processing in rcu_try_flip_idle(), sees rcu_pending(), so invokes dyntick_save_progress_counter(), which in turn takes a snapshot of CPU 0's dynticks_progress_counter into CPU 0's rcu_dyntick_snapshot -- now set to 11. CPU 1 then updates the RCU grace-period state to rcu_try_flip_waitack(). o CPU 0 returns from its interrupt, so rcu_irq_exit() increments CPU 0's dynticks_progress_counter to 12. o CPU 1 later invokes rcu_try_flip_waitack(), which notices that CPU 0 has not yet responded, and hence in turn invokes rcu_try_flip_waitack_needed(). This function examines the state of CPU 0's dynticks_progress_counter and rcu_dyntick_snapshot variables, which it copies to curr (== 12) and snap (== 11), respectively. Because curr!=snap, the first condition fails. Because curr-snap is only 1 and snap is odd, the second condition fails. rcu_try_flip_waitack_needed() therefore incorrectly concludes that it must wait for CPU 0 to explicitly acknowledge the counter flip. o CPU 0 remains forever in dynticks-idle mode, never taking any more hardware interrupts or any NMIs, and never running any more tasks. (Of course, -something- will usually eventually happen, which might be why we haven't seen this one in the wild. Still should be fixed!) Therefore the grace period never ends. Fix is to make the code match the comment, as shown below. With this fix, the above scenario would be satisfied with curr being even, and allow the grace period to proceed. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

This is done because list are a very used primitive structure all over the kernel and it's currently impossible to include other header files in this list.h without creating some circular dependencies. For example, list.h implements rcu-protected list and uses rcu_dereference() without including rcupdate.h. It actually compiles because users of rcu_dereference() are macros. Others RCU functions could be used too but aren't probably because of this. Therefore this patch creates rculist.h which includes rcupdates without to many changes/troubles.

This is again to synchronize_sched() as call_rcu() is to synchronize_rcu(). Should be fine for experimental and -rt use, but not ready for inclusion. With some luck, I will be able to tell Andrew to come out of hiding on the next round. Passes multi-day rcutorture sessions with concurrent CPU hotplugging. Fixes since the first version include a bug that could result in indefinite blocking (spotted by Gautham Shenoy), better resiliency against CPU-hotplug operations, and other minor fixes. Fixes since the second version include reworking grace-period detection to avoid deadlocks that could happen when running concurrently with CPU hotplug, adding Mathieu's fix to avoid the softlockup messages, as well as Mathieu's fix to allow use earlier in boot. Fixes since the third version include a wrong-CPU bug spotted by Andrew, getting rid of the obsolete synchronize_kernel API that somehow snuck back in, merging spin_unlock() and local_irq_restore() in a few places, commenting the code that checks for quiescent states based on interrupting from user-mode execution or the idle loop, removing some inline attributes, and some code-style changes. Known/suspected shortcomings: o I still do not entirely trust the sleep/wakeup logic. Next step will be to use a private snapshot of the CPU online mask in rcu_sched_grace_period() -- if the CPU wasn't there at the start of the grace period, we don't need to hear from it. And the bit about accounting for changes in online CPUs inside of rcu_sched_grace_period() is ugly anyway. o It might be good for rcu_sched_grace_period() to invoke resched_cpu() when a given CPU wasn't responding quickly, but resched_cpu() is declared static... This patch also fixes a long-standing bug in the earlier preemptable-RCU implementation of synchronize_rcu() that could result in loss of concurrent external changes to a task's CPU affinity mask.

It may take a very long time until the pending softirqs will finally be executed. Worst case would be a hanging system. With this patch the timer tick just continues and the softirqs will be executed after the next interrupt. Still a delay but better than a hanging system. Currently we have at least two device drivers on s390 which under certain circumstances schedule a tasklet from process context. This is a reason why we can end up with pending softirqs when going idle. Fixing these drivers seems to be non-trivial. However there is no question that the drivers should be fixed. This patch shouldn't be considered as a bug fix. It just is intended to keep a system running even if device drivers are buggy.

This warning makes sense when the suspend/resume mechanism offlines all cpus but one during the suspend/resume process. However, Xen suspend does not need to offline the other cpus; it merely keeps them tied up in stop_machine() while the virtual machine is suspended. The warning hres_timers_resume issues is therefore spurious. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@citrix.com> Cc: xen-devel <xen-devel@lists.xensource.com> Cc: "Rafael J.

This patch creates /proc/irq/default_smp_affinity that lets users set default affinity mask for the newly allocated IRQs. Changing the default does not affect affinity masks for the currently active IRQs, they have to be changed explicitly. Updated based on Paul J's comments and added some more documentation.
