2013-03-12workqueue: update synchronization rules on worker_pool_idrTejun Heo
Make worker_pool_idr protected by workqueue_lock for writes and sched-RCU protected for reads. Lockdep assertions are added to for_each_pool() and get_work_pool() and all their users are converted to either hold workqueue_lock or disable preemption/irq. worker_pool_assign_id() is updated to hold workqueue_lock when allocating a pool ID. As idr_get_new() always performs RCU-safe assignment, this is enough on the writer side. As standard pools are never destroyed, there's nothing to do on that side. The locking is superflous at this point. This is to help implementation of unbound pools/pwqs with custom attributes. This patch doesn't introduce any behavior changes. v2: Updated for_each_pwq() use if/else for the hidden assertion statement instead of just if as suggested by Lai. This avoids confusing the following else clause. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@cn.fujitsu.com>
2013-03-12workqueue: update synchronization rules on workqueue->pwqsTejun Heo
Make workqueue->pwqs protected by workqueue_lock for writes and sched-RCU protected for reads. Lockdep assertions are added to for_each_pwq() and first_pwq() and all their users are converted to either hold workqueue_lock or disable preemption/irq. alloc_and_link_pwqs() is updated to use list_add_tail_rcu() for consistency which isn't strictly necessary as the workqueue isn't visible. destroy_workqueue() isn't updated to sched-RCU release pwqs.

2013-03-12workqueue: replace get_pwq() with explicit per_cpu_ptr() accesses and ↵Tejun Heo
first_pwq() get_pwq() takes @cpu, which can also be WORK_CPU_UNBOUND, and @wq and returns the matching pwq (pool_workqueue). We want to move away from using @cpu for identifying pools and pwqs for unbound pools with custom attributes and there is only one user - workqueue_congested() - which makes use of the WQ_UNBOUND conditional in get_pwq(). All other users already know whether they're dealing with a per-cpu or unbound workqueue. Replace get_pwq() with explicit per_cpu_ptr(wq->cpu_pwqs, cpu) for per-cpu workqueues and first_pwq() for unbound ones, and open-code WQ_UNBOUND conditional in workqueue_congested(). Note that this makes workqueue_congested() behave sligntly differently when @cpu other than WORK_CPU_UNBOUND is specified. It ignores @cpu for unbound workqueues and always uses the first pwq instead of oopsing. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@cn.fujitsu.com>
2013-03-12workqueue: remove workqueue_struct->pool_wq.singleTejun Heo
workqueue->pool_wq union is used to point either to percpu pwqs (pool_workqueues) or single unbound pwq. As the first pwq can be accessed via workqueue->pwqs list, there's no reason for the single pointer anymore. Use list_first_entry(workqueue->pwqs) to access the unbound pwq and drop workqueue->pool_wq.single pointer and the pool_wq union. It simplifies the code and eases implementing multiple unbound pools w/ custom attributes. This patch doesn't introduce any visible behavior changes.

2013-03-12workqueue: add wokrqueue_struct->maydays list to replace mayday cpu iteratorsTejun Heo
Similar to how pool_workqueue iteration used to be, raising and servicing mayday requests is based on CPU numbers. It's hairy because cpumask_t may not be able to handle WORK_CPU_UNBOUND and cpumasks are assumed to be always set on UP. This is ugly and can't handle multiple unbound pools to be added for unbound workqueues w/ custom attributes. Add workqueue_struct->maydays. When a pool_workqueue needs rescuing, it gets chained on the list through pool_workqueue->mayday_node and rescuer_thread() consumes the list until it's empty.

2013-03-12workqueue: restructure pool / pool_workqueue iterations in freeze/thaw functionsTejun Heo
The three freeze/thaw related functions - freeze_workqueues_begin(), freeze_workqueues_busy() and thaw_workqueues() - need to iterate through all pool_workqueues of all freezable workqueues. They did it by first iterating pools and then visiting all pwqs (pool_workqueues) of all workqueues and process it if its pwq->pool matches the current pool. This is rather backwards and done this way partly because workqueue didn't have fitting iteration helpers and partly to avoid the number of lock operations on pool->lock. Workqueue now has fitting iterators and the locking operation overhead isn't anything to worry about - those locks are unlikely to be contended and the same CPU visiting the same set of locks multiple times isn't expensive. Restructure the three functions such that the flow better matches the logical steps and pwq iteration is done using for_each_pwq() inside workqueue iteration. * freeze_workqueues_begin(): Setting of FREEZING is moved into a separate for_each_pool() iteration. pwq iteration for clearing max_active is updated as described above. * freeze_workqueues_busy(): pwq iteration updated as described above. * thaw_workqueues(): The single for_each_wq_cpu() iteration is broken into three discrete steps - clearing FREEZING, restoring max_active, and kicking workers. The first and last steps use for_each_pool() and the second step uses pwq iteration described above. This makes the code easier to understand and removes the use of for_each_wq_cpu() for walking pwqs, which can't support multiple unbound pwqs which will be needed to implement unbound workqueues with custom attributes.

2013-03-12workqueue: introduce kmem_cache for pool_workqueuesTejun Heo
pool_workqueues need to be aligned to 1 << WORK_STRUCT_FLAG_BITS as the lower bits of work->data are used for flags when they're pointing to pool_workqueues. Due to historical reasons, unbound pool_workqueues are allocated using kzalloc() with sufficient buffer area for alignment and aligned manually. The original pointer is stored at the end which free_pwqs() retrieves when freeing it. There's no reason for this hackery anymore. Set alignment of struct pool_workqueue to 1 << WORK_STRUCT_FLAG_BITS, add kmem_cache for pool_workqueues with proper alignment and replace the hacky alloc and free implementation with plain kmem_cache_zalloc/free(). In case WORK_STRUCT_FLAG_BITS gets shrunk too much and makes fields of pool_workqueues misaligned, trigger WARN if the alignment of struct pool_workqueue becomes smaller than that of long long. Note that assertion on IS_ALIGNED() is removed from alloc_pwqs(). We already have another one in pwq init loop in __alloc_workqueue_key(). This patch doesn't introduce any visible behavior changes.

2013-03-08workqueue: fix possible pool stall bug in wq_unbind_fn()Lai Jiangshan
Since multiple pools per cpu have been introduced, wq_unbind_fn() has a subtle bug which may theoretically stall work item processing. The problem is two-fold. * wq_unbind_fn() depends on the worker executing wq_unbind_fn() itself to start unbound chain execution, which works fine when there was only single pool. With multiple pools, only the pool which is running wq_unbind_fn() - the highpri one - is guaranteed to have such kick-off. The other pool could stall when its busy workers block. * The current code is setting WORKER_UNBIND / POOL_DISASSOCIATED of the two pools in succession without initiating work execution inbetween. Because setting the flags requires grabbing assoc_mutex which is held while new workers are created, this could lead to stalls if a pool's manager is waiting for the previous pool's work items to release memory. This is almost purely theoretical tho. Update wq_unbind_fn() such that it sets WORKER_UNBIND / POOL_DISASSOCIATED, goes over schedule() and explicitly kicks off execution for a pool and then moves on to the next one. tj: Updated comments and description.

2013-02-27hlist: drop the node parameter from iteratorsSasha Levin
I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member) The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter: hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member) Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate. Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required: - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones. - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this was modified to use 'obj->member' instead. - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.

2013-02-06workqueue: simplify is-work-item-queued-here testLai Jiangshan
Currently, determining whether a work item is queued on a locked pool involves somewhat convoluted memory barrier dancing. It goes like the following. * When a work item is queued on a pool, work->data is updated before work->entry is linked to the pending list with a wmb() inbetween. * When trying to determine whether a work item is currently queued on a pool pointed to by work->data, it locks the pool and looks at work->entry. If work->entry is linked, we then do rmb() and then check whether work->data points to the current pool. This works because, work->data can only point to a pool if it currently is or were on the pool and, * If it currently is on the pool, the tests would obviously succeed. * It it left the pool, its work->entry was cleared under pool->lock, so if we're seeing non-empty work->entry, it has to be from the work item being linked on another pool. Because work->data is updated before work->entry is linked with wmb() inbetween, work->data update from another pool is guaranteed to be visible if we do rmb() after seeing non-empty work->entry. So, we either see empty work->entry or we see updated work->data pointin to another pool. While this works, it's convoluted, to put it mildly. With recent updates, it's now guaranteed that work->data points to cwq only while the work item is queued and that updating work->data to point to cwq or back to pool is done under pool->lock, so we can simply test whether work->data points to cwq which is associated with the currently locked pool instead of the convoluted memory barrier dancing. This patch replaces the memory barrier based "are you still here, really?" test with much simpler "does work->data points to me?" test - if work->data points to a cwq which is associated with the currently locked pool, the work item is guaranteed to be queued on the pool as work->data can start and stop pointing to such cwq only under pool->lock and the start and stop coincide with queue and dequeue. tj: Rewrote the comments and description.

We plan to use work->data pointing to cwq as the synchronization invariant when determining whether a given work item is on a locked pool or not, which requires work->data pointing to cwq only while the work item is queued on the associated pool. With delayed_work updated not to overload work->data for target workqueue recording, the only case where we still have off-queue work->data pointing to cwq is try_to_grab_pending() which doesn't update work->data after stealing a queued work item. There's no reason for try_to_grab_pending() to not update work->data to point to the pool instead of cwq, like the normal execution does. This patch adds set_work_pool_and_keep_pending() which makes work->data point to pool instead of cwq but keeps the pending bit unlike set_work_pool_and_clear_pending() (surprise!).

2013-02-06workqueue: add delayed_work->wq to simplify reentrancy handlingLai Jiangshan
To avoid executing the same work item from multiple CPUs concurrently, a work_struct records the last pool it was on in its ->data so that, on the next queueing, the pool can be queried to determine whether the work item is still executing or not. A delayed_work goes through timer before actually being queued on the target workqueue and the timer needs to know the target workqueue and CPU. This is currently achieved by modifying delayed_work->work.data such that it points to the cwq which points to the target workqueue and the last CPU the work item was on. __queue_delayed_work() extracts the last CPU from delayed_work->work.data and then combines it with the target workqueue to create new work.data. The only thing this rather ugly hack achieves is encoding the target workqueue into delayed_work->work.data without using a separate field, which could be a trade off one can make; unfortunately, this entangles work->data management between regular workqueue and delayed_work code by setting cwq pointer before the work item is actually queued and becomes a hindrance for further improvements of work->data handling. This can be easily made sane by adding a target workqueue field to delayed_work. While delayed_work is used widely in the kernel and this does make it a bit larger (<5%), I think this is the right trade-off especially given the prospect of much saner handling of work->data which currently involves quite tricky memory barrier dancing, and don't expect to see any measureable effect.

2013-02-06workqueue: make work_busy() test WORK_STRUCT_PENDING firstLai Jiangshan
Currently, work_busy() first tests whether the work has a pool associated with it and if not, considers it idle. This works fine even for delayed_work.work queued on timer, as __queue_delayed_work() sets cwq on delayed_work.work - a queued delayed_work always has its cwq and thus pool associated with it. However, we're about to update delayed_work queueing and this won't hold. Update work_busy() such that it tests WORK_STRUCT_PENDING before the associated pool. This doesn't make any noticeable behavior difference now. With work_pending() test moved, the function read a lot better with "if (!pool)" test flipped to positive. Flip it. While at it, lose the comment about now non-existent reentrant workqueues. tj: Reorganized the function and rewrote the description.

2013-02-06workqueue: replace WORK_CPU_NONE/LAST with WORK_CPU_ENDLai Jiangshan
Now that workqueue has moved away from gcwqs, workqueue no longer has the need to have a CPU identifier indicating "no cpu associated" - we now use WORK_OFFQ_POOL_NONE instead - and most uses of WORK_CPU_NONE are gone. The only left usage is as the end marker for for_each_*wq*() iterators, where the name WORK_CPU_NONE is confusing w/o actual WORK_CPU_NONE usages. Similarly, WORK_CPU_LAST which equals WORK_CPU_NONE no longer makes sense. Replace both WORK_CPU_NONE and LAST with WORK_CPU_END. This patch doesn't introduce any functional difference. tj: s/WORK_CPU_LAST/WORK_CPU_END/ and rewrote the description.

global_cwq is now nothing but a container for per-cpu standard worker_pools. Declare the worker pools directly as cpu/unbound_std_worker_pools[] and remove global_cwq. * ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp moved from global_cwq to worker_pool. This probably would have made sense even before this change as we want each pool to be aligned. * get_gcwq() is replaced with std_worker_pools() which returns the pointer to the standard pool array for a given CPU. * __alloc_workqueue_key() updated to use get_std_worker_pool() instead of open-coding pool determination. This is part of an effort to remove global_cwq and make worker_pool the top level abstraction, which in turn will help implementing worker pools with user-specified attributes. v2: Joonsoo pointed out that it'd better to align struct worker_pool rather than the array so that every pool is aligned.

2013-01-24workqueue: record pool ID instead of CPU in work->data when off-queueTejun Heo
Currently, when a work item is off-queue, work->data records the CPU it was last on, which is used to locate the last executing instance for non-reentrance, flushing, etc. We're in the process of removing global_cwq and making worker_pool the top level abstraction. This patch makes work->data point to the pool it was last associated with instead of CPU. After the previous WORK_OFFQ_POOL_CPU and worker_poo->id additions, the conversion is fairly straight-forward. WORK_OFFQ constants and functions are modified to record and read back pool ID instead. worker_pool_by_id() is added to allow looking up pool from ID. get_work_pool() replaces get_work_gcwq(), which is reimplemented using get_work_pool(). get_work_pool_id() replaces work_cpu().
