[ Upstream commit e5a30c303b07a4d6083e0f7f051b53add6d93c5d ]
Previously, the rescuer scanned for all matching work items at once and
processed them within a single rescuer thread, which could cause one
blocking work item to stall all others.
Make the rescuer process work items one-by-one instead of slurping all
matches in a single pass.
Break the rescuer loop after finding and processing the first matching
work item, then restart the search to pick up the next. This gives
normal worker threads a chance to process other items which gives them
the opportunity to be processed instead of waiting on the rescuer's
queue and prevents a blocking work item from stalling the rest once
memory pressure is relieved.
Introduce a dummy cursor work item to avoid potentially O(N^2)
rescans of the work list. The marker records the resume position for
the next scan, eliminating redundant traversals.
Also introduce RESCUER_BATCH to control the maximum number of work items
the rescuer processes in each turn, and move on to other PWQs when the
limit is reached.

The intent of the verifcation done in check_flush_depedency is to ensure
forward progress during memory reclaim, by flagging cases when either a
memory reclaim process, or a memory reclaim work item is flushed from a
context not marked as memory reclaim safe.
This is correct when flushing, but when called from the
cancel(_delayed)_work_sync() paths it is a false positive because work is
either already running, or will not be running at all. Therefore
cancelling it is safe and we can relax the warning criteria by letting the
helper know of the calling context.

[ Upstream commit c35aea39d1e106f61fd2130f0d32a3bac8bd4570 ]
These changes are in preparation of BH workqueue which will execute work
items from BH context.
- Update lock and RCU depth checks in process_one_work() so that it
remembers and checks against the starting depths and prints out the depth
changes.
- Factor out lockdep annotations in the flush paths into
touch_{wq|work}_lockdep_map(). The work->lockdep_map touching is moved
from __flush_work() to its callee - start_flush_work(). This brings it
closer to the wq counterpart and will allow testing the associated wq's
flags which will be needed to support BH workqueues. This is not expected
to cause any functional changes.

[ Upstream commit 1a65a6d17cbc58e1aeffb2be962acce49efbef9c ]
Currently the workqueue just checks the atomic and locking states after work
execution ends. However, sometimes, a work item may not unlock rcu after
acquiring rcu_read_lock(). And as a result, it would cause rcu stall, but
the rcu stall warning can not dump the work func, because the work has
finished.
In order to quickly discover those works that do not call rcu_read_unlock()
after rcu_read_lock(), add the rcu lock check.
Use rcu_preempt_depth() to check the work's rcu status. Normally, this value
is 0. If this value is bigger than 0, it means the work are still holding
rcu lock. If so, print err info and the work func.
tj: Reworded the description for clarity. Minor formatting tweak.

[ Upstream commit 98f887f820c993e05a12e8aa816c80b8661d4c87 ]
On a ~2000 CPU powerpc system, hard lockups have been observed in the
workqueue code when stop_machine runs (in this case due to CPU hotplug).
This is due to lots of CPUs spinning in multi_cpu_stop, calling
touch_nmi_watchdog() which ends up calling wq_watchdog_touch().
wq_watchdog_touch() writes to the global variable wq_watchdog_touched,
and that can find itself in the same cacheline as other important
workqueue data, which slows down operations to the point of lockups.
In the case of the following abridged trace, worker_pool_idr was in
the hot line, causing the lockups to always appear at idr_find.
watchdog: CPU 1125 self-detected hard LOCKUP @ idr_find
Call Trace:
get_work_pool
__queue_work
call_timer_fn
run_timer_softirq
__do_softirq
do_softirq_own_stack
irq_exit
timer_interrupt
decrementer_common_virt
* interrupt: 900 (timer) at multi_cpu_stop
multi_cpu_stop
cpu_stopper_thread
smpboot_thread_fn
kthread
Fix this by having wq_watchdog_touch() only write to the line if the
last time a touch was recorded exceeds 1/4 of the watchdog threshold.

The crash is caused by calling arch_vcpu_is_preempted() for an offline
CPU. To avoid this, select the cpu with cpumask_any_and_distribute()
to mask __pod_cpumask with cpu_online_mask. In case no cpu is left in
the pool, skip the assignment.
tj: This doesn't fully fix the bug as CPUs can still go down between picking
the target CPU and the wake call. Fixing that likely requires adding
cpu_online() test to either the sched or s390 arch code. However, regardless
of how that is fixed, workqueue shouldn't be picking a CPU which isn't
online as that would result in unpredictable and worse behavior.

[ Upstream commit 5797b1c18919cd9c289ded7954383e499f729ce0 ]
A pool_workqueue (pwq) represents the connection between a workqueue and a
worker_pool. One of the roles that a pwq plays is enforcement of the
max_active concurrency limit. Before 636b927eba5b ("workqueue: Make unbound
workqueues to use per-cpu pool_workqueues"), there was one pwq per each CPU
for per-cpu workqueues and per each NUMA node for unbound workqueues, which
was a natural result of per-cpu workqueues being served by per-cpu pools and
unbound by per-NUMA pools.
In terms of max_active enforcement, this was, while not perfect, workable.
For per-cpu workqueues, it was fine. For unbound, it wasn't great in that
NUMA machines would get max_active that's multiplied by the number of nodes
but didn't cause huge problems because NUMA machines are relatively rare and
the node count is usually pretty low.
However, cache layouts are more complex now and sharing a worker pool across
a whole node didn't really work well for unbound workqueues. Thus, a series
of commits culminating on 8639ecebc9b1 ("workqueue: Make unbound workqueues
to use per-cpu pool_workqueues") implemented more flexible affinity
mechanism for unbound workqueues which enables using e.g. last-level-cache
aligned pools. In the process, 636b927eba5b ("workqueue: Make unbound
workqueues to use per-cpu pool_workqueues") made unbound workqueues use
per-cpu pwqs like per-cpu workqueues.
While the change was necessary to enable more flexible affinity scopes, this
came with the side effect of blowing up the effective max_active for unbound
workqueues. Before, the effective max_active for unbound workqueues was
multiplied by the number of nodes. After, by the number of CPUs.
636b927eba5b ("workqueue: Make unbound workqueues to use per-cpu
pool_workqueues") claims that this should generally be okay. It is okay for
users which self-regulates concurrency level which are the vast majority;
however, there are enough use cases which actually depend on max_active to
prevent the level of concurrency from going bonkers including several IO
handling workqueues that can issue a work item for each in-flight IO. With
targeted benchmarks, the misbehavior can easily be exposed as reported in
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/dbu6wiwu3sdhmhikb2w6lns7b27gbobfavhjj57kwi2quafgwl@htjcc5oikcr3.
Unfortunately, there is no way to express what these use cases need using
per-cpu max_active. A CPU may issue most of in-flight IOs, so we don't want
to set max_active too low but as soon as we increase max_active a bit, we
can end up with unreasonable number of in-flight work items when many CPUs
issue IOs at the same time. ie. The acceptable lowest max_active is higher
than the acceptable highest max_active.
Ideally, max_active for an unbound workqueue should be system-wide so that
the users can regulate the total level of concurrency regardless of node and
cache layout. The reasons workqueue hasn't implemented that yet are:
- One max_active enforcement decouples from pool boundaires, chaining
execution after a work item finishes requires inter-pool operations which
would require lock dancing, which is nasty.
- Sharing a single nr_active count across the whole system can be pretty
expensive on NUMA machines.
- Per-pwq enforcement had been more or less okay while we were using
per-node pools.
It looks like we no longer can avoid decoupling max_active enforcement from
pool boundaries. This patch implements system-wide nr_active mechanism with
the following design characteristics:
- To avoid sharing a single counter across multiple nodes, the configured
max_active is split across nodes according to the proportion of each
workqueue's online effective CPUs per node. e.g. A node with twice more
online effective CPUs will get twice higher portion of max_active.
- Workqueue used to be able to process a chain of interdependent work items
which is as long as max_active. We can't do this anymore as max_active is
distributed across the nodes. Instead, a new parameter min_active is
introduced which determines the minimum level of concurrency within a node
regardless of how max_active distribution comes out to be.
It is set to the smaller of max_active and WQ_DFL_MIN_ACTIVE which is 8.
This can lead to higher effective max_weight than configured and also
deadlocks if a workqueue was depending on being able to handle chains of
interdependent work items that are longer than 8.
I believe these should be fine given that the number of CPUs in each NUMA
node is usually higher than 8 and work item chain longer than 8 is pretty
unlikely. However, if these assumptions turn out to be wrong, we'll need
to add an interface to adjust min_active.
- Each unbound wq has an array of struct wq_node_nr_active which tracks
per-node nr_active. When its pwq wants to run a work item, it has to
obtain the matching node's nr_active. If over the node's max_active, the
pwq is queued on wq_node_nr_active->pending_pwqs. As work items finish,
the completion path round-robins the pending pwqs activating the first
inactive work item of each, which involves some pool lock dancing and
kicking other pools. It's not the simplest code but doesn't look too bad.
v4: - wq_adjust_max_active() updated to invoke wq_update_node_max_active().
- wq_adjust_max_active() is now protected by wq->mutex instead of
wq_pool_mutex.
v3: - wq_node_max_active() used to calculate per-node max_active on the fly
based on system-wide CPU online states. Lai pointed out that this can
lead to skewed distributions for workqueues with restricted cpumasks.
Update the max_active distribution to use per-workqueue effective
online CPU counts instead of system-wide and cache the calculation
results in node_nr_active->max.
v2: - wq->min/max_active now uses WRITE/READ_ONCE() as suggested by Lai.

[ Upstream commit 91ccc6e7233bb10a9c176aa4cc70d6f432a441a5 ]
Currently, for both percpu and unbound workqueues, max_active applies
per-cpu, which is a recent change for unbound workqueues. The change for
unbound workqueues was a significant departure from the previous behavior of
per-node application. It made some use cases create undesirable number of
concurrent work items and left no good way of fixing them. To address the
problem, workqueue is implementing a NUMA node segmented global nr_active
mechanism, which will be explained further in the next patch.
As a preparation, this patch introduces struct wq_node_nr_active. It's a
data structured allocated for each workqueue and NUMA node pair and
currently only tracks the workqueue's number of active work items on the
node. This is split out from the next patch to make it easier to understand
and review.
Note that there is an extra wq_node_nr_active allocated for the invalid node
nr_node_ids which is used to track nr_active for pools which don't have NUMA
node associated such as the default fallback system-wide pool.
This doesn't cause any behavior changes visible to userland yet. The next
patch will expand to implement the control mechanism on top.
v4: - Fixed out-of-bound access when freeing per-cpu workqueues.
v3: - Use flexible array for wq->node_nr_active as suggested by Lai.
v2: - wq->max_active now uses WRITE/READ_ONCE() as suggested by Lai.
- Lai pointed out that pwq_tryinc_nr_active() incorrectly dropped
pwq->max_active check. Restored. As the next patch replaces the
max_active enforcement mechanism, this doesn't change the end result.

[ Upstream commit 9f66cff212bb3c1cd25996aaa0dfd0c9e9d8baab ]
wq->cpu_pwq is RCU protected but wq->dfl_pwq isn't. This is okay because
currently wq->dfl_pwq is used only accessed to install it into wq->cpu_pwq
which doesn't require RCU access. However, we want to be able to access
wq->dfl_pwq under RCU in the future to access its __pod_cpumask and the code
can be made easier to read by making the two pwq fields behave in the same
way.
- Make wq->dfl_pwq RCU protected.
- Add unbound_pwq_slot() and unbound_pwq() which can access both ->dfl_pwq
and ->cpu_pwq. The former returns the double pointer that can be used
access and update the pwqs. The latter performs locking check and
dereferences the double pointer.
- pwq accesses and updates are converted to use unbound_pwq[_slot]().

[ Upstream commit c5404d4e6df6faba1007544b5f4e62c7c14416dd ]
wq_adjust_max_active() needs to activate work items after max_active is
increased. Previously, it did that by visiting each pwq once activating all
that could be activated. While this makes sense with per-pwq nr_active,
nr_active will be shared across multiple pwqs for unbound wqs. Then, we'd
want to round-robin through pwqs to be fairer.
In preparation, this patch makes wq_adjust_max_active() round-robin pwqs
while activating. While the activation ordering changes, this shouldn't
cause user-noticeable behavior changes.

[ Upstream commit 1c270b79ce0b8290f146255ea9057243f6dd3c17 ]
__queue_work(), pwq_dec_nr_in_flight() and wq_adjust_max_active() were
open-coding nr_active handling, which is fine given that the operations are
trivial. However, the planned unbound nr_active update will make them more
complicated, so let's move them into helpers.
- pwq_tryinc_nr_active() is added. It increments nr_active if under
max_active limit and return a boolean indicating whether inc was
successful. Note that the function is structured to accommodate future
changes. __queue_work() is updated to use the new helper.
- pwq_activate_first_inactive() is updated to use pwq_tryinc_nr_active() and
thus no longer assumes that nr_active is under max_active and returns a
boolean to indicate whether a work item has been activated.
- wq_adjust_max_active() no longer tests directly whether a work item can be
activated. Instead, it's updated to use the return value of
pwq_activate_first_inactive() to tell whether a work item has been
activated.
- nr_active decrement and activating the first inactive work item is
factored into pwq_dec_nr_active().
v3: - WARN_ON_ONCE(!WORK_STRUCT_INACTIVE) added to __pwq_activate_work() as
now we're calling the function unconditionally from
pwq_activate_first_inactive().
v2: - wq->max_active now uses WRITE/READ_ONCE() as suggested by Lai.

[ Upstream commit a045a272d887575da17ad86d6573e82871b50c27 ]
max_active is a workqueue-wide setting and the configured value is stored in
wq->saved_max_active; however, the effective value was stored in
pwq->max_active. While this is harmless, it makes max_active update process
more complicated and gets in the way of the planned max_active semantic
updates for unbound workqueues.
This patches moves pwq->max_active to wq->max_active. This simplifies the
code and makes freezing and noop max_active updates cheaper too. No
user-visible behavior change is intended.
As wq->max_active is updated while holding wq mutex but read without any
locking, it now uses WRITE/READ_ONCE(). A new locking locking rule WO is
added for it.
v2: wq->max_active now uses WRITE/READ_ONCE() as suggested by Lai.

workqueue_apply_unbound_cpumask()"
commit aac8a59537dfc704ff344f1aacfd143c089ee20f upstream.
This reverts commit ca10d851b9ad0338c19e8e3089e24d565ebfffd7.
The commit allowed workqueue_apply_unbound_cpumask() to clear __WQ_ORDERED
on now removed implicitly ordered workqueues. This was incorrect in that
system-wide config change shouldn't break ordering properties of all
workqueues. The reason why apply_workqueue_attrs() path was allowed to do so
was because it was targeting the specific workqueue - either the workqueue
had WQ_SYSFS set or the workqueue user specifically tried to change
max_active, both of which indicate that the workqueue doesn't need to be
ordered.
The implicitly ordered workqueue promotion was removed by the previous
commit 3bc1e711c26b ("workqueue: Don't implicitly make UNBOUND workqueues w/
@max_active==1 ordered"). However, it didn't update this path and broke
build. Let's revert the commit which was incorrect in the first place which
also fixes build.

[ Upstream commit 265f3ed077036f053981f5eea0b5b43e7c5b39ff ]
All callers of work_on_cpu() share the same lock class key for all the
functions queued. As a result the workqueue related locking scenario for
a function A may be spuriously accounted as an inversion against the
locking scenario of function B such as in the following model:
long A(void *arg)
{
mutex_lock(&mutex);
mutex_unlock(&mutex);
}
long B(void *arg)
{
}
void launchA(void)
{
work_on_cpu(0, A, NULL);
}
void launchB(void)
{
mutex_lock(&mutex);
work_on_cpu(1, B, NULL);
mutex_unlock(&mutex);
}
launchA and launchB running concurrently have no chance to deadlock.
However the above can be reported by lockdep as a possible locking
inversion because the works containing A() and B() are treated as
belonging to the same locking class.
The following shows an existing example of such a spurious lockdep splat:

workqueue_apply_unbound_cpumask()
Commit 5c0338c68706 ("workqueue: restore WQ_UNBOUND/max_active==1
to be ordered") enabled implicit ordered attribute to be added to
WQ_UNBOUND workqueues with max_active of 1. This prevented the changing
of attributes to these workqueues leading to fix commit 0a94efb5acbb
("workqueue: implicit ordered attribute should be overridable").
However, workqueue_apply_unbound_cpumask() was not updated at that time.
So sysfs changes to wq_unbound_cpumask has no effect on WQ_UNBOUND
workqueues with implicit ordered attribute. Since not all WQ_UNBOUND
workqueues are visible on sysfs, we are not able to make all the
necessary cpumask changes even if we iterates all the workqueue cpumasks
in sysfs and changing them one by one.
Fix this problem by applying the corresponding change made
to apply_workqueue_attrs_locked() in the fix commit to
workqueue_apply_unbound_cpumask().
