rcu: Merge preemptable-RCU functionality into hierarchical RCU Create a kernel/rcutree_plugin.h file that contains definitions for preemptable RCU (or, under the #else branch of the #ifdef, empty definitions for the classic non-preemptable semantics). These definitions fit into plugins defined in kernel/rcutree.c for this purpose. This variant of preemptable RCU uses a new algorithm whose read-side expense is roughly that of classic hierarchical RCU under CONFIG_PREEMPT. This new algorithm's update-side expense is similar to that of classic hierarchical RCU, and, in absence of read-side preemption or blocking, is exactly that of classic hierarchical RCU. Perhaps more important, this new algorithm has a much simpler implementation, saving well over 1,000 lines of code compared to mainline's implementation of preemptable RCU, which will hopefully be retired in favor of this new algorithm. The simplifications are obtained by maintaining per-task nesting state for running tasks, and using a simple lock-protected algorithm to handle accounting when tasks block within RCU read-side critical sections, making use of lessons learned while creating numerous user-level RCU implementations over the past 18 months.

rcu: Make rcu_nocb_poll an early_param instead of module_param The as-documented rcu_nocb_poll will fail to enable this feature for two reasons. (1) there is an extra "s" in the documented name which is not in the code, and (2) since it uses module_param, it really is expecting a prefix, akin to "rcutree.fanout_leaf" and the prefix isn't documented. However, there are several reasons why we might not want to simply fix the typo and add the prefix: 1) we'd end up with rcutree.rcu_nocb_poll, and rather probably make a change to rcutree.nocb_poll 2) if we did #1, then the prefix wouldn't be consistent with the rcu_nocbs=<cpumap> parameter (i.e. one with, one without prefix) 3) the use of module_param in a header file is less than desired, since it isn't immediately obvious that it will get processed via rcutree.c and get the prefix from that (although use of module_param_named() could clarify that.) 4) the implied export of /sys/module/rcutree/parameters/rcu_nocb_poll data to userspace via module_param() doesn't really buy us anything, as it is read-only and we can tell if it is enabled already without it, since there is a printk at early boot telling us so. In light of all that, just change it from a module_param() to an early_setup() call, and worry about adding it to /sys later on if we decide to allow a dynamic setting of it. Also change the variable to be tagged as read_mostly, since it will only ever be fiddled with at most, once at boot.

rcu: refactor RCU's context-switch handling The addition of preemptible RCU to treercu resulted in a bit of confusion and inefficiency surrounding the handling of context switches for RCU-sched and for RCU-preempt. For RCU-sched, a context switch is a quiescent state, pure and simple, just like it always has been. For RCU-preempt, a context switch is in no way a quiescent state, but special handling is required when a task blocks in an RCU read-side critical section. However, the callout from the scheduler and the outer loop in ksoftirqd still calls something named rcu_sched_qs(), whose name is no longer accurate. Furthermore, when rcu_check_callbacks() notes an RCU-sched quiescent state, it ends up unnecessarily (though harmlessly, aside from the performance hit) enqueuing the current task if it happens to be running in an RCU-preempt read-side critical section. This not only increases the maximum latency of scheduler_tick(), it also needlessly increases the overhead of the next outermost rcu_read_unlock() invocation. This patch addresses this situation by separating the notion of RCU's context-switch handling from that of RCU-sched's quiescent states. The context-switch handling is covered by rcu_note_context_switch() in general and by rcu_preempt_note_context_switch() for preemptible RCU. This permits rcu_sched_qs() to handle quiescent states and only quiescent states. It also reduces the maximum latency of scheduler_tick(), though probably by much less than a microsecond. Finally, it means that tasks within preemptible-RCU read-side critical sections avoid incurring the overhead of queuing unless there really is a context switch.

rcu: protect __rcu_read_unlock() against scheduler-using irq handlers The addition of RCU read-side critical sections within runqueue and priority-inheritance lock critical sections introduced some deadlock cycles, for example, involving interrupts from __rcu_read_unlock() where the interrupt handlers call wake_up(). This situation can cause the instance of __rcu_read_unlock() invoked from interrupt to do some of the processing that would otherwise have been carried out by the task-level instance of __rcu_read_unlock(). When the interrupt-level instance of __rcu_read_unlock() is called with a scheduler lock held from interrupt-entry/exit situations where in_irq() returns false, deadlock can result. This commit resolves these deadlocks by using negative values of the per-task ->rcu_read_lock_nesting counter to indicate that an instance of __rcu_read_unlock() is in flight, which in turn prevents instances from interrupt handlers from doing any special processing. This patch is inspired by Steven Rostedt's earlier patch that similarly made __rcu_read_unlock() guard against interrupt-mediated recursion (see https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/7/15/326), but this commit refines Steven's approach to avoid the need for preemption disabling on the __rcu_read_unlock() fastpath and to also avoid the need for manipulating a separate per-CPU variable. This patch avoids need for preempt_disable() by instead using negative values of the per-task ->rcu_read_lock_nesting counter. Note that nested rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock() pairs are still permitted, but they will never see ->rcu_read_lock_nesting go to zero, and will therefore never invoke rcu_read_unlock_special(), thus preventing them from seeing the RCU_READ_UNLOCK_BLOCKED bit should it be set in ->rcu_read_unlock_special. This patch also adds a check for ->rcu_read_unlock_special being negative in rcu_check_callbacks(), thus preventing the RCU_READ_UNLOCK_NEED_QS bit from being set should a scheduling-clock interrupt occur while __rcu_read_unlock() is exiting from an outermost RCU read-side critical section. Of course, __rcu_read_unlock() can be preempted during the time that ->rcu_read_lock_nesting is negative. This could result in the setting of the RCU_READ_UNLOCK_BLOCKED bit after __rcu_read_unlock() checks it, and would also result it this task being queued on the corresponding rcu_node structure's blkd_tasks list. Therefore, some later RCU read-side critical section would enter rcu_read_unlock_special() to clean up -- which could result in deadlock if that critical section happened to be in the scheduler where the runqueue or priority-inheritance locks were held. This situation is dealt with by making rcu_preempt_note_context_switch() check for negative ->rcu_read_lock_nesting, thus refraining from queuing the task (and from setting RCU_READ_UNLOCK_BLOCKED) if we are already exiting from the outermost RCU read-side critical section (in other words, we really are no longer actually in that RCU read-side critical section). In addition, rcu_preempt_note_context_switch() invokes rcu_read_unlock_special() to carry out the cleanup in this case, which clears out the ->rcu_read_unlock_special bits and dequeues the task (if necessary), in turn avoiding needless delay of the current RCU grace period and needless RCU priority boosting. It is still illegal to call rcu_read_unlock() while holding a scheduler lock if the prior RCU read-side critical section has ever had either preemption or irqs enabled. However, the common use case is legal, namely where then entire RCU read-side critical section executes with irqs disabled, for example, when the scheduler lock is held across the entire lifetime of the RCU read-side critical section.

rcu: Process offlining and onlining only at grace-period start Races between CPU hotplug and grace periods can be difficult to resolve, so the ->onoff_mutex is used to exclude the two events. Unfortunately, this means that it is impossible for an outgoing CPU to perform the last bits of its offlining from its last pass through the idle loop, because sleeplocks cannot be acquired in that context. This commit avoids these problems by buffering online and offline events in a new ->qsmaskinitnext field in the leaf rcu_node structures. When a grace period starts, the events accumulated in this mask are applied to the ->qsmaskinit field, and, if needed, up the rcu_node tree. The special case of all CPUs corresponding to a given leaf rcu_node structure being offline while there are still elements in that structure's ->blkd_tasks list is handled using a new ->wait_blkd_tasks field. In this case, propagating the offline bits up the tree is deferred until the beginning of the grace period after all of the tasks have exited their RCU read-side critical sections and removed themselves from the list, at which point the ->wait_blkd_tasks flag is cleared. If one of that leaf rcu_node structure's CPUs comes back online before the list empties, then the ->wait_blkd_tasks flag is simply cleared. This of course means that RCU's notion of which CPUs are offline can be out of date. This is OK because RCU need only wait on CPUs that were online at the time that the grace period started. In addition, RCU's force-quiescent-state actions will handle the case where a CPU goes offline after the grace period starts. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

rcu: Defer reporting RCU-preempt quiescent states when disabled This commit defers reporting of RCU-preempt quiescent states at rcu_read_unlock_special() time when any of interrupts, softirq, or preemption are disabled. These deferred quiescent states are reported at a later RCU_SOFTIRQ, context switch, idle entry, or CPU-hotplug offline operation. Of course, if another RCU read-side critical section has started in the meantime, the reporting of the quiescent state will be further deferred. This also means that disabling preemption, interrupts, and/or softirqs will act as an RCU-preempt read-side critical section. This is enforced by checking preempt_count() as needed. Some special cases must be handled on an ad-hoc basis, for example, context switch is a quiescent state even though both the scheduler and do_exit() disable preemption. In these cases, additional calls to rcu_preempt_deferred_qs() override the preemption disabling. Similar logic overrides disabled interrupts in rcu_preempt_check_callbacks() because in this case the quiescent state happened just before the corresponding scheduling-clock interrupt. In theory, this change lifts a long-standing restriction that required that if interrupts were disabled across a call to rcu_read_unlock() that the matching rcu_read_lock() also be contained within that interrupts-disabled region of code. Because the reporting of the corresponding RCU-preempt quiescent state is now deferred until after interrupts have been enabled, it is no longer possible for this situation to result in deadlocks involving the scheduler's runqueue and priority-inheritance locks. This may allow some code simplification that might reduce interrupt latency a bit. Unfortunately, in practice this would also defer deboosting a low-priority task that had been subjected to RCU priority boosting, so real-time-response considerations might well force this restriction to remain in place. Because RCU-preempt grace periods are now blocked not only by RCU read-side critical sections, but also by disabling of interrupts, preemption, and softirqs, it will be possible to eliminate RCU-bh and RCU-sched in favor of RCU-preempt in CONFIG_PREEMPT=y kernels. This may require some additional plumbing to provide the network denial-of-service guarantees that have been traditionally provided by RCU-bh. Once these are in place, CONFIG_PREEMPT=n kernels will be able to fold RCU-bh into RCU-sched. This would mean that all kernels would have but one flavor of RCU, which would open the door to significant code cleanup. Moving to a single flavor of RCU would also have the beneficial effect of reducing the NOCB kthreads by at least a factor of two. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

These definitions fit into plugins defined in kernel/rcutree.c for this purpose. This variant of preemptable RCU uses a new algorithm whose read-side expense is roughly that of classic hierarchical RCU under CONFIG_PREEMPT. This new algorithm's update-side expense is similar to that of classic hierarchical RCU, and, in absence of read-side preemption or blocking, is exactly that of classic hierarchical RCU. Perhaps more important, this new algorithm has a much simpler implementation, saving well over 1,000 lines of code compared to mainline's implementation of preemptable RCU, which will hopefully be retired in favor of this new algorithm. The simplifications are obtained by maintaining per-task nesting state for running tasks, and using a simple lock-protected algorithm to handle accounting when tasks block within RCU read-side critical sections, making use of lessons learned while creating numerous user-level RCU implementations over the past 18 months.

rcu: Fix grace-period-stall bug on large systems with CPU hotplug When the last CPU of a given leaf rcu_node structure goes offline, all of the tasks queued on that leaf rcu_node structure (due to having blocked in their current RCU read-side critical sections) are requeued onto the root rcu_node structure. This requeuing is carried out by rcu_preempt_offline_tasks(). However, it is possible that these queued tasks are the only thing preventing the leaf rcu_node structure from reporting a quiescent state up the rcu_node hierarchy. Unfortunately, the old code would fail to do this reporting, resulting in a grace-period stall given the following sequence of events: 1. Kernel built for more than 32 CPUs on 32-bit systems or for more than 64 CPUs on 64-bit systems, so that there is more than one rcu_node structure. (Or CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT is artificially set to a number smaller than CONFIG_NR_CPUS.) 2. The kernel is built with CONFIG_TREE_PREEMPT_RCU. 3. A task running on a CPU associated with a given leaf rcu_node structure blocks while in an RCU read-side critical section -and- that CPU has not yet passed through a quiescent state for the current RCU grace period. This will cause the task to be queued on the leaf rcu_node's blocked_tasks[] array, in particular, on the element of this array corresponding to the current grace period. 4. Each of the remaining CPUs corresponding to this same leaf rcu_node structure pass through a quiescent state. However, the task is still in its RCU read-side critical section, so these quiescent states cannot be reported further up the rcu_node hierarchy. Nevertheless, all bits in the leaf rcu_node structure's ->qsmask field are now zero. 5. Each of the remaining CPUs go offline. (The events in step #4 and #5 can happen in any order as long as each CPU passes through a quiescent state before going offline.) 6. When the last CPU goes offline, __rcu_offline_cpu() will invoke rcu_preempt_offline_tasks(), which will move the task to the root rcu_node structure, but without reporting a quiescent state up the rcu_node hierarchy (and this failure to report a quiescent state is the bug). But because this leaf rcu_node structure's ->qsmask field is already zero and its ->block_tasks[] entries are all empty, force_quiescent_state() will skip this rcu_node structure. Therefore, grace periods are now hung. This patch abstracts some code out of rcu_read_unlock_special(), calling the result task_quiet() by analogy with cpu_quiet(), and invokes task_quiet() from both rcu_read_lock_special() and __rcu_offline_cpu(). Invoking task_quiet() from __rcu_offline_cpu() reports the quiescent state up the rcu_node hierarchy, fixing the bug. This ends up requiring a separate lock_class_key per level of the rcu_node hierarchy, which this patch also provides. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

rcu: Defer reporting RCU-preempt quiescent states when disabled This commit defers reporting of RCU-preempt quiescent states at rcu_read_unlock_special() time when any of interrupts, softirq, or preemption are disabled. These deferred quiescent states are reported at a later RCU_SOFTIRQ, context switch, idle entry, or CPU-hotplug offline operation. Of course, if another RCU read-side critical section has started in the meantime, the reporting of the quiescent state will be further deferred. This also means that disabling preemption, interrupts, and/or softirqs will act as an RCU-preempt read-side critical section. This is enforced by checking preempt_count() as needed. Some special cases must be handled on an ad-hoc basis, for example, context switch is a quiescent state even though both the scheduler and do_exit() disable preemption. In these cases, additional calls to rcu_preempt_deferred_qs() override the preemption disabling. Similar logic overrides disabled interrupts in rcu_preempt_check_callbacks() because in this case the quiescent state happened just before the corresponding scheduling-clock interrupt. In theory, this change lifts a long-standing restriction that required that if interrupts were disabled across a call to rcu_read_unlock() that the matching rcu_read_lock() also be contained within that interrupts-disabled region of code. Because the reporting of the corresponding RCU-preempt quiescent state is now deferred until after interrupts have been enabled, it is no longer possible for this situation to result in deadlocks involving the scheduler's runqueue and priority-inheritance locks. This may allow some code simplification that might reduce interrupt latency a bit. Unfortunately, in practice this would also defer deboosting a low-priority task that had been subjected to RCU priority boosting, so real-time-response considerations might well force this restriction to remain in place. Because RCU-preempt grace periods are now blocked not only by RCU read-side critical sections, but also by disabling of interrupts, preemption, and softirqs, it will be possible to eliminate RCU-bh and RCU-sched in favor of RCU-preempt in CONFIG_PREEMPT=y kernels. This may require some additional plumbing to provide the network denial-of-service guarantees that have been traditionally provided by RCU-bh. Once these are in place, CONFIG_PREEMPT=n kernels will be able to fold RCU-bh into RCU-sched. This would mean that all kernels would have but one flavor of RCU, which would open the door to significant code cleanup. Moving to a single flavor of RCU would also have the beneficial effect of reducing the NOCB kthreads by at least a factor of two. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

rcu: Check for wakeup-safe conditions in rcu_read_unlock_special() When RCU core processing is offloaded from RCU_SOFTIRQ to the rcuc kthreads, a full and unconditional wakeup is required to initiate RCU core processing. In contrast, when RCU core processing is carried out by RCU_SOFTIRQ, a raise_softirq() suffices. Of course, there are situations where raise_softirq() does a full wakeup, but these do not occur with normal usage of rcu_read_unlock(). The reason that full wakeups can be problematic is that the scheduler sometimes invokes rcu_read_unlock() with its pi or rq locks held, which can of course result in deadlock in CONFIG_PREEMPT=y kernels when rcu_read_unlock() invokes the scheduler. Scheduler invocations can happen in the following situations: (1) The just-ended reader has been subjected to RCU priority boosting, in which case rcu_read_unlock() must deboost, (2) Interrupts were disabled across the call to rcu_read_unlock(), so the quiescent state must be deferred, requiring a wakeup of the rcuc kthread corresponding to the current CPU. Now, the scheduler may hold one of its locks across rcu_read_unlock() only if preemption has been disabled across the entire RCU read-side critical section, which in the days prior to RCU flavor consolidation meant that rcu_read_unlock() never needed to do wakeups. However, this is no longer the case for any but the first rcu_read_unlock() following a condition (e.g., preempted RCU reader) requiring special rcu_read_unlock() attention. For example, an RCU read-side critical section might be preempted, but preemption might be disabled across the rcu_read_unlock(). The rcu_read_unlock() must defer the quiescent state, and therefore leaves the task queued on its leaf rcu_node structure. If a scheduler interrupt occurs, the scheduler might well invoke rcu_read_unlock() with one of its locks held. However, the preempted task is still queued, so rcu_read_unlock() will attempt to defer the quiescent state once more. When RCU core processing is carried out by RCU_SOFTIRQ, this works just fine: The raise_softirq() function simply sets a bit in a per-CPU mask and the RCU core processing will be undertaken upon return from interrupt. Not so when RCU core processing is carried out by the rcuc kthread: In this case, the required wakeup can result in deadlock. The initial solution to this problem was to use set_tsk_need_resched() and set_preempt_need_resched() to force a future context switch, which allows rcu_preempt_note_context_switch() to report the deferred quiescent state to RCU's core processing. Unfortunately for expedited grace periods, there can be a significant delay between the call for a context switch and the actual context switch. This commit therefore introduces a ->deferred_qs flag to the task_struct structure's rcu_special structure. This flag is initially false, and is set to true by the first call to rcu_read_unlock() requiring special attention, then finally reset back to false when the quiescent state is finally reported. Then rcu_read_unlock() attempts full wakeups only when ->deferred_qs is false, that is, on the first rcu_read_unlock() requiring special attention. Note that a chain of RCU readers linked by some other sort of reader may find that a later rcu_read_unlock() is once again able to do a full wakeup, courtesy of an intervening preemption: rcu_read_lock(); /* preempted */ local_irq_disable(); rcu_read_unlock(); /* Can do full wakeup, sets ->deferred_qs. */ rcu_read_lock(); local_irq_enable(); preempt_disable() rcu_read_unlock(); /* Cannot do full wakeup, ->deferred_qs set. */ rcu_read_lock(); preempt_enable(); /* preempted, >deferred_qs reset. */ local_irq_disable(); rcu_read_unlock(); /* Can again do full wakeup, sets ->deferred_qs. */ Such linked RCU readers do not yet seem to appear in the Linux kernel, and it is probably best if they don't. However, RCU needs to handle them, and some variations on this theme could make even raise_softirq() unsafe due to the possibility of its doing a full wakeup. This commit therefore also avoids invoking raise_softirq() when the ->deferred_qs set flag is set. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

rcu: Clear need_qs flag to prevent splat If the scheduling-clock interrupt sets the current tasks need_qs flag, but if the current CPU passes through a quiescent state in the meantime, then rcu_preempt_qs() will fail to clear the need_qs flag, which can fool RCU into thinking that additional rcu_read_unlock_special() processing is needed. This commit therefore clears the need_qs flag before checking for additional processing. For this problem to occur, we need rcu_preempt_data.passed_quiesce equal to true and current->rcu_read_unlock_special.b.need_qs also equal to true. This condition can occur as follows: 1. CPU 0 is aware of the current preemptible RCU grace period, but has not yet passed through a quiescent state. Among other things, this means that rcu_preempt_data.passed_quiesce is false. 2. Task A running on CPU 0 enters a preemptible RCU read-side critical section. 3. CPU 0 takes a scheduling-clock interrupt, which notices the RCU read-side critical section and the need for a quiescent state, and thus sets current->rcu_read_unlock_special.b.need_qs to true. 4. Task A is preempted, enters the scheduler, eventually invoking rcu_preempt_note_context_switch() which in turn invokes rcu_preempt_qs(). Because rcu_preempt_data.passed_quiesce is false, control enters the body of the "if" statement, which sets rcu_preempt_data.passed_quiesce to true. 5. At this point, CPU 0 takes an interrupt. The interrupt handler contains an RCU read-side critical section, and the rcu_read_unlock() notes that current->rcu_read_unlock_special is nonzero, and thus invokes rcu_read_unlock_special(). 6. Once in rcu_read_unlock_special(), the fact that current->rcu_read_unlock_special.b.need_qs is true becomes apparent, so rcu_read_unlock_special() invokes rcu_preempt_qs(). Recursively, given that we interrupted out of that same function in the preceding step. 7. Because rcu_preempt_data.passed_quiesce is now true, rcu_preempt_qs() does nothing, and simply returns. 8. Upon return to rcu_read_unlock_special(), it is noted that current->rcu_read_unlock_special is still nonzero (because the interrupted rcu_preempt_qs() had not yet gotten around to clearing current->rcu_read_unlock_special.b.need_qs). 9. Execution proceeds to the WARN_ON_ONCE(), which notes that we are in an interrupt handler and thus duly splats. The solution, as noted above, is to make rcu_read_unlock_special() clear out current->rcu_read_unlock_special.b.need_qs after calling rcu_preempt_qs(). The interrupted rcu_preempt_qs() will clear it again, but this is harmless. The worst that happens is that we clobber another attempt to set this field, but this is not a problem because we just got done reporting a quiescent state.

rcu: Defer reporting RCU-preempt quiescent states when disabled This commit defers reporting of RCU-preempt quiescent states at rcu_read_unlock_special() time when any of interrupts, softirq, or preemption are disabled. These deferred quiescent states are reported at a later RCU_SOFTIRQ, context switch, idle entry, or CPU-hotplug offline operation. Of course, if another RCU read-side critical section has started in the meantime, the reporting of the quiescent state will be further deferred. This also means that disabling preemption, interrupts, and/or softirqs will act as an RCU-preempt read-side critical section. This is enforced by checking preempt_count() as needed. Some special cases must be handled on an ad-hoc basis, for example, context switch is a quiescent state even though both the scheduler and do_exit() disable preemption. In these cases, additional calls to rcu_preempt_deferred_qs() override the preemption disabling. Similar logic overrides disabled interrupts in rcu_preempt_check_callbacks() because in this case the quiescent state happened just before the corresponding scheduling-clock interrupt. In theory, this change lifts a long-standing restriction that required that if interrupts were disabled across a call to rcu_read_unlock() that the matching rcu_read_lock() also be contained within that interrupts-disabled region of code. Because the reporting of the corresponding RCU-preempt quiescent state is now deferred until after interrupts have been enabled, it is no longer possible for this situation to result in deadlocks involving the scheduler's runqueue and priority-inheritance locks. This may allow some code simplification that might reduce interrupt latency a bit. Unfortunately, in practice this would also defer deboosting a low-priority task that had been subjected to RCU priority boosting, so real-time-response considerations might well force this restriction to remain in place. Because RCU-preempt grace periods are now blocked not only by RCU read-side critical sections, but also by disabling of interrupts, preemption, and softirqs, it will be possible to eliminate RCU-bh and RCU-sched in favor of RCU-preempt in CONFIG_PREEMPT=y kernels. This may require some additional plumbing to provide the network denial-of-service guarantees that have been traditionally provided by RCU-bh. Once these are in place, CONFIG_PREEMPT=n kernels will be able to fold RCU-bh into RCU-sched. This would mean that all kernels would have but one flavor of RCU, which would open the door to significant code cleanup. Moving to a single flavor of RCU would also have the beneficial effect of reducing the NOCB kthreads by at least a factor of two. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

rcu: Have the RCU tracepoints use the tracepoint_string infrastructure Currently, RCU tracepoints save only a pointer to strings in the ring buffer. When displayed via the /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace file they are referenced like the printf "%s" that looks at the address in the ring buffer and prints out the string it points too. This requires that the strings are constant and persistent in the kernel. The problem with this is for tools like trace-cmd and perf that read the binary data from the buffers but have no access to the kernel memory to find out what string is represented by the address in the buffer. By using the tracepoint_string infrastructure, the RCU tracepoint strings can be exported such that userspace tools can map the addresses to the strings. # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/printk_formats 0xffffffff81a4a0e8 : "rcu_preempt" 0xffffffff81a4a0f4 : "rcu_bh" 0xffffffff81a4a100 : "rcu_sched" 0xffffffff818437a0 : "cpuqs" 0xffffffff818437a6 : "rcu_sched" 0xffffffff818437a0 : "cpuqs" 0xffffffff818437b0 : "rcu_bh" 0xffffffff818437b7 : "Start context switch" 0xffffffff818437cc : "End context switch" 0xffffffff818437a0 : "cpuqs" [...] Now userspaces tools can display: rcu_utilization: Start context switch rcu_dyntick: Start 1 0 rcu_utilization: End context switch rcu_batch_start: rcu_preempt CBs=0/5 bl=10 rcu_dyntick: End 0 140000000000000 rcu_invoke_callback: rcu_preempt rhp=0xffff880071c0d600 func=proc_i_callback rcu_invoke_callback: rcu_preempt rhp=0xffff880077b5b230 func=__d_free rcu_dyntick: Start 140000000000000 0 rcu_invoke_callback: rcu_preempt rhp=0xffff880077563980 func=file_free_rcu rcu_batch_end: rcu_preempt CBs-invoked=3 idle=>c<>c<>c<>c< rcu_utilization: End RCU core rcu_grace_period: rcu_preempt 9741 start rcu_dyntick: Start 1 0 rcu_dyntick: End 0 140000000000000 rcu_dyntick: Start 140000000000000 0 Instead of: rcu_utilization: ffffffff81843110 rcu_future_grace_period: ffffffff81842f1d 9939 9939 9940 0 0 3 ffffffff81842f32 rcu_batch_start: ffffffff81842f1d CBs=0/4 bl=10 rcu_future_grace_period: ffffffff81842f1d 9939 9939 9940 0 0 3 ffffffff81842f3c rcu_grace_period: ffffffff81842f1d 9939 ffffffff81842f80 rcu_invoke_callback: ffffffff81842f1d rhp=0xffff88007888aac0 func=file_free_rcu rcu_grace_period: ffffffff81842f1d 9939 ffffffff81842f95 rcu_invoke_callback: ffffffff81842f1d rhp=0xffff88006aeb4600 func=proc_i_callback rcu_future_grace_period: ffffffff81842f1d 9939 9939 9940 0 0 3 ffffffff81842f32 rcu_future_grace_period: ffffffff81842f1d 9939 9939 9940 0 0 3 ffffffff81842f3c rcu_invoke_callback: ffffffff81842f1d rhp=0xffff880071cb9fc0 func=__d_free rcu_grace_period: ffffffff81842f1d 9939 ffffffff81842f80 rcu_invoke_callback: ffffffff81842f1d rhp=0xffff88007888ae80 func=file_free_rcu rcu_batch_end: ffffffff81842f1d CBs-invoked=4 idle=>c<>c<>c<>c< rcu_utilization: ffffffff8184311f Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

rcu: Avoid RCU-preempt expedited grace-period botch Because rcu_read_unlock_special() samples rcu_preempted_readers_exp(rnp) after dropping rnp->lock, the following sequence of events is possible: 1. Task A exits its RCU read-side critical section, and removes itself from the ->blkd_tasks list, releases rnp->lock, and is then preempted. Task B remains on the ->blkd_tasks list, and blocks the current expedited grace period. 2. Task B exits from its RCU read-side critical section and removes itself from the ->blkd_tasks list. Because it is the last task blocking the current expedited grace period, it ends that expedited grace period. 3. Task A resumes, and samples rcu_preempted_readers_exp(rnp) which of course indicates that nothing is blocking the nonexistent expedited grace period. Task A is again preempted. 4. Some other CPU starts an expedited grace period. There are several tasks blocking this expedited grace period queued on the same rcu_node structure that Task A was using in step 1 above. 5. Task A examines its state and incorrectly concludes that it was the last task blocking the expedited grace period on the current rcu_node structure. It therefore reports completion up the rcu_node tree. 6. The expedited grace period can then incorrectly complete before the tasks blocked on this same rcu_node structure exit their RCU read-side critical sections. Arbitrarily bad things happen. This commit therefore takes a snapshot of rcu_preempted_readers_exp(rnp) prior to dropping the lock, so that only the last task thinks that it is the last task, thus avoiding the failure scenario laid out above.

The simplifications are obtained by maintaining per-task nesting state for running tasks, and using a simple lock-protected algorithm to handle accounting when tasks block within RCU read-side critical sections, making use of lessons learned while creating numerous user-level RCU implementations over the past 18 months.

rcu: Have the RCU tracepoints use the tracepoint_string infrastructure Currently, RCU tracepoints save only a pointer to strings in the ring buffer. When displayed via the /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace file they are referenced like the printf "%s" that looks at the address in the ring buffer and prints out the string it points too. This requires that the strings are constant and persistent in the kernel. The problem with this is for tools like trace-cmd and perf that read the binary data from the buffers but have no access to the kernel memory to find out what string is represented by the address in the buffer. By using the tracepoint_string infrastructure, the RCU tracepoint strings can be exported such that userspace tools can map the addresses to the strings. # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/printk_formats 0xffffffff81a4a0e8 : "rcu_preempt" 0xffffffff81a4a0f4 : "rcu_bh" 0xffffffff81a4a100 : "rcu_sched" 0xffffffff818437a0 : "cpuqs" 0xffffffff818437a6 : "rcu_sched" 0xffffffff818437a0 : "cpuqs" 0xffffffff818437b0 : "rcu_bh" 0xffffffff818437b7 : "Start context switch" 0xffffffff818437cc : "End context switch" 0xffffffff818437a0 : "cpuqs" [...] Now userspaces tools can display: rcu_utilization: Start context switch rcu_dyntick: Start 1 0 rcu_utilization: End context switch rcu_batch_start: rcu_preempt CBs=0/5 bl=10 rcu_dyntick: End 0 140000000000000 rcu_invoke_callback: rcu_preempt rhp=0xffff880071c0d600 func=proc_i_callback rcu_invoke_callback: rcu_preempt rhp=0xffff880077b5b230 func=__d_free rcu_dyntick: Start 140000000000000 0 rcu_invoke_callback: rcu_preempt rhp=0xffff880077563980 func=file_free_rcu rcu_batch_end: rcu_preempt CBs-invoked=3 idle=>c<>c<>c<>c< rcu_utilization: End RCU core rcu_grace_period: rcu_preempt 9741 start rcu_dyntick: Start 1 0 rcu_dyntick: End 0 140000000000000 rcu_dyntick: Start 140000000000000 0 Instead of: rcu_utilization: ffffffff81843110 rcu_future_grace_period: ffffffff81842f1d 9939 9939 9940 0 0 3 ffffffff81842f32 rcu_batch_start: ffffffff81842f1d CBs=0/4 bl=10 rcu_future_grace_period: ffffffff81842f1d 9939 9939 9940 0 0 3 ffffffff81842f3c rcu_grace_period: ffffffff81842f1d 9939 ffffffff81842f80 rcu_invoke_callback: ffffffff81842f1d rhp=0xffff88007888aac0 func=file_free_rcu rcu_grace_period: ffffffff81842f1d 9939 ffffffff81842f95 rcu_invoke_callback: ffffffff81842f1d rhp=0xffff88006aeb4600 func=proc_i_callback rcu_future_grace_period: ffffffff81842f1d 9939 9939 9940 0 0 3 ffffffff81842f32 rcu_future_grace_period: ffffffff81842f1d 9939 9939 9940 0 0 3 ffffffff81842f3c rcu_invoke_callback: ffffffff81842f1d rhp=0xffff880071cb9fc0 func=__d_free rcu_grace_period: ffffffff81842f1d 9939 ffffffff81842f80 rcu_invoke_callback: ffffffff81842f1d rhp=0xffff88007888ae80 func=file_free_rcu rcu_batch_end: ffffffff81842f1d CBs-invoked=4 idle=>c<>c<>c<>c< rcu_utilization: ffffffff8184311f Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

rcu: Avoid RCU-preempt expedited grace-period botch Because rcu_read_unlock_special() samples rcu_preempted_readers_exp(rnp) after dropping rnp->lock, the following sequence of events is possible: 1. Task A exits its RCU read-side critical section, and removes itself from the ->blkd_tasks list, releases rnp->lock, and is then preempted. Task B remains on the ->blkd_tasks list, and blocks the current expedited grace period. 2. Task B exits from its RCU read-side critical section and removes itself from the ->blkd_tasks list. Because it is the last task blocking the current expedited grace period, it ends that expedited grace period. 3. Task A resumes, and samples rcu_preempted_readers_exp(rnp) which of course indicates that nothing is blocking the nonexistent expedited grace period. Task A is again preempted. 4. Some other CPU starts an expedited grace period. There are several tasks blocking this expedited grace period queued on the same rcu_node structure that Task A was using in step 1 above. 5. Task A examines its state and incorrectly concludes that it was the last task blocking the expedited grace period on the current rcu_node structure. It therefore reports completion up the rcu_node tree. 6. The expedited grace period can then incorrectly complete before the tasks blocked on this same rcu_node structure exit their RCU read-side critical sections. Arbitrarily bad things happen. This commit therefore takes a snapshot of rcu_preempted_readers_exp(rnp) prior to dropping the lock, so that only the last task thinks that it is the last task, thus avoiding the failure scenario laid out above.

rcu: Fix grace-period-stall bug on large systems with CPU hotplug When the last CPU of a given leaf rcu_node structure goes offline, all of the tasks queued on that leaf rcu_node structure (due to having blocked in their current RCU read-side critical sections) are requeued onto the root rcu_node structure. This requeuing is carried out by rcu_preempt_offline_tasks(). However, it is possible that these queued tasks are the only thing preventing the leaf rcu_node structure from reporting a quiescent state up the rcu_node hierarchy. Unfortunately, the old code would fail to do this reporting, resulting in a grace-period stall given the following sequence of events: 1. Kernel built for more than 32 CPUs on 32-bit systems or for more than 64 CPUs on 64-bit systems, so that there is more than one rcu_node structure. (Or CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT is artificially set to a number smaller than CONFIG_NR_CPUS.) 2. The kernel is built with CONFIG_TREE_PREEMPT_RCU. 3. A task running on a CPU associated with a given leaf rcu_node structure blocks while in an RCU read-side critical section -and- that CPU has not yet passed through a quiescent state for the current RCU grace period. This will cause the task to be queued on the leaf rcu_node's blocked_tasks[] array, in particular, on the element of this array corresponding to the current grace period. 4. Each of the remaining CPUs corresponding to this same leaf rcu_node structure pass through a quiescent state. However, the task is still in its RCU read-side critical section, so these quiescent states cannot be reported further up the rcu_node hierarchy. Nevertheless, all bits in the leaf rcu_node structure's ->qsmask field are now zero. 5. Each of the remaining CPUs go offline. (The events in step #4 and #5 can happen in any order as long as each CPU passes through a quiescent state before going offline.) 6. When the last CPU goes offline, __rcu_offline_cpu() will invoke rcu_preempt_offline_tasks(), which will move the task to the root rcu_node structure, but without reporting a quiescent state up the rcu_node hierarchy (and this failure to report a quiescent state is the bug). But because this leaf rcu_node structure's ->qsmask field is already zero and its ->block_tasks[] entries are all empty, force_quiescent_state() will skip this rcu_node structure. Therefore, grace periods are now hung. This patch abstracts some code out of rcu_read_unlock_special(), calling the result task_quiet() by analogy with cpu_quiet(), and invokes task_quiet() from both rcu_read_lock_special() and __rcu_offline_cpu(). Invoking task_quiet() from __rcu_offline_cpu() reports the quiescent state up the rcu_node hierarchy, fixing the bug. This ends up requiring a separate lock_class_key per level of the rcu_node hierarchy, which this patch also provides. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

rcu: Merge preemptable-RCU functionality into hierarchical RCU Create a kernel/rcutree_plugin.h file that contains definitions for preemptable RCU (or, under the #else branch of the #ifdef, empty definitions for the classic non-preemptable semantics). These definitions fit into plugins defined in kernel/rcutree.c for this purpose. This variant of preemptable RCU uses a new algorithm whose read-side expense is roughly that of classic hierarchical RCU under CONFIG_PREEMPT. This new algorithm's update-side expense is similar to that of classic hierarchical RCU, and, in absence of read-side preemption or blocking, is exactly that of classic hierarchical RCU. Perhaps more important, this new algorithm has a much simpler implementation, saving well over 1,000 lines of code compared to mainline's implementation of preemptable RCU, which will hopefully be retired in favor of this new algorithm.

rcu: Defer reporting RCU-preempt quiescent states when disabled This commit defers reporting of RCU-preempt quiescent states at rcu_read_unlock_special() time when any of interrupts, softirq, or preemption are disabled. These deferred quiescent states are reported at a later RCU_SOFTIRQ, context switch, idle entry, or CPU-hotplug offline operation. Of course, if another RCU read-side critical section has started in the meantime, the reporting of the quiescent state will be further deferred. This also means that disabling preemption, interrupts, and/or softirqs will act as an RCU-preempt read-side critical section. This is enforced by checking preempt_count() as needed. Some special cases must be handled on an ad-hoc basis, for example, context switch is a quiescent state even though both the scheduler and do_exit() disable preemption. In these cases, additional calls to rcu_preempt_deferred_qs() override the preemption disabling. Similar logic overrides disabled interrupts in rcu_preempt_check_callbacks() because in this case the quiescent state happened just before the corresponding scheduling-clock interrupt. In theory, this change lifts a long-standing restriction that required that if interrupts were disabled across a call to rcu_read_unlock() that the matching rcu_read_lock() also be contained within that interrupts-disabled region of code. Because the reporting of the corresponding RCU-preempt quiescent state is now deferred until after interrupts have been enabled, it is no longer possible for this situation to result in deadlocks involving the scheduler's runqueue and priority-inheritance locks. This may allow some code simplification that might reduce interrupt latency a bit. Unfortunately, in practice this would also defer deboosting a low-priority task that had been subjected to RCU priority boosting, so real-time-response considerations might well force this restriction to remain in place. Because RCU-preempt grace periods are now blocked not only by RCU read-side critical sections, but also by disabling of interrupts, preemption, and softirqs, it will be possible to eliminate RCU-bh and RCU-sched in favor of RCU-preempt in CONFIG_PREEMPT=y kernels. This may require some additional plumbing to provide the network denial-of-service guarantees that have been traditionally provided by RCU-bh. Once these are in place, CONFIG_PREEMPT=n kernels will be able to fold RCU-bh into RCU-sched. This would mean that all kernels would have but one flavor of RCU, which would open the door to significant code cleanup. Moving to a single flavor of RCU would also have the beneficial effect of reducing the NOCB kthreads by at least a factor of two. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

rcu: Defer reporting RCU-preempt quiescent states when disabled This commit defers reporting of RCU-preempt quiescent states at rcu_read_unlock_special() time when any of interrupts, softirq, or preemption are disabled. These deferred quiescent states are reported at a later RCU_SOFTIRQ, context switch, idle entry, or CPU-hotplug offline operation. Of course, if another RCU read-side critical section has started in the meantime, the reporting of the quiescent state will be further deferred. This also means that disabling preemption, interrupts, and/or softirqs will act as an RCU-preempt read-side critical section. This is enforced by checking preempt_count() as needed. Some special cases must be handled on an ad-hoc basis, for example, context switch is a quiescent state even though both the scheduler and do_exit() disable preemption. In these cases, additional calls to rcu_preempt_deferred_qs() override the preemption disabling. Similar logic overrides disabled interrupts in rcu_preempt_check_callbacks() because in this case the quiescent state happened just before the corresponding scheduling-clock interrupt. In theory, this change lifts a long-standing restriction that required that if interrupts were disabled across a call to rcu_read_unlock() that the matching rcu_read_lock() also be contained within that interrupts-disabled region of code. Because the reporting of the corresponding RCU-preempt quiescent state is now deferred until after interrupts have been enabled, it is no longer possible for this situation to result in deadlocks involving the scheduler's runqueue and priority-inheritance locks. This may allow some code simplification that might reduce interrupt latency a bit. Unfortunately, in practice this would also defer deboosting a low-priority task that had been subjected to RCU priority boosting, so real-time-response considerations might well force this restriction to remain in place. Because RCU-preempt grace periods are now blocked not only by RCU read-side critical sections, but also by disabling of interrupts, preemption, and softirqs, it will be possible to eliminate RCU-bh and RCU-sched in favor of RCU-preempt in CONFIG_PREEMPT=y kernels. This may require some additional plumbing to provide the network denial-of-service guarantees that have been traditionally provided by RCU-bh. Once these are in place, CONFIG_PREEMPT=n kernels will be able to fold RCU-bh into RCU-sched. This would mean that all kernels would have but one flavor of RCU, which would open the door to significant code cleanup. Moving to a single flavor of RCU would also have the beneficial effect of reducing the NOCB kthreads by at least a factor of two. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

rcu: Speed up expedited GPs when interrupting RCU reader In PREEMPT kernels, an expedited grace period might send an IPI to a CPU that is executing an RCU read-side critical section. In that case, it would be nice if the rcu_read_unlock() directly interacted with the RCU core code to immediately report the quiescent state. And this does happen in the case where the reader has been preempted. But it would also be a nice performance optimization if immediate reporting also happened in the preemption-free case. This commit therefore adds an ->exp_hint field to the task_struct structure's ->rcu_read_unlock_special field. The IPI handler sets this hint when it has interrupted an RCU read-side critical section, and this causes the outermost rcu_read_unlock() call to invoke rcu_read_unlock_special(), which, if preemption is enabled, reports the quiescent state immediately. If preemption is disabled, then the report is required to be deferred until preemption (or bottom halves or interrupts or whatever) is re-enabled. Because this is a hint, it does nothing for more complicated cases. For example, if the IPI interrupts an RCU reader, but interrupts are disabled across the rcu_read_unlock(), but another rcu_read_lock() is executed before interrupts are re-enabled, the hint will already have been cleared. If you do crazy things like this, reporting will be deferred until some later RCU_SOFTIRQ handler, context switch, cond_resched(), or similar.

rcu: Check for wakeup-safe conditions in rcu_read_unlock_special() When RCU core processing is offloaded from RCU_SOFTIRQ to the rcuc kthreads, a full and unconditional wakeup is required to initiate RCU core processing. In contrast, when RCU core processing is carried out by RCU_SOFTIRQ, a raise_softirq() suffices. Of course, there are situations where raise_softirq() does a full wakeup, but these do not occur with normal usage of rcu_read_unlock(). The reason that full wakeups can be problematic is that the scheduler sometimes invokes rcu_read_unlock() with its pi or rq locks held, which can of course result in deadlock in CONFIG_PREEMPT=y kernels when rcu_read_unlock() invokes the scheduler. Scheduler invocations can happen in the following situations: (1) The just-ended reader has been subjected to RCU priority boosting, in which case rcu_read_unlock() must deboost, (2) Interrupts were disabled across the call to rcu_read_unlock(), so the quiescent state must be deferred, requiring a wakeup of the rcuc kthread corresponding to the current CPU. Now, the scheduler may hold one of its locks across rcu_read_unlock() only if preemption has been disabled across the entire RCU read-side critical section, which in the days prior to RCU flavor consolidation meant that rcu_read_unlock() never needed to do wakeups. However, this is no longer the case for any but the first rcu_read_unlock() following a condition (e.g., preempted RCU reader) requiring special rcu_read_unlock() attention. For example, an RCU read-side critical section might be preempted, but preemption might be disabled across the rcu_read_unlock(). The rcu_read_unlock() must defer the quiescent state, and therefore leaves the task queued on its leaf rcu_node structure. If a scheduler interrupt occurs, the scheduler might well invoke rcu_read_unlock() with one of its locks held. However, the preempted task is still queued, so rcu_read_unlock() will attempt to defer the quiescent state once more. When RCU core processing is carried out by RCU_SOFTIRQ, this works just fine: The raise_softirq() function simply sets a bit in a per-CPU mask and the RCU core processing will be undertaken upon return from interrupt. Not so when RCU core processing is carried out by the rcuc kthread: In this case, the required wakeup can result in deadlock. The initial solution to this problem was to use set_tsk_need_resched() and set_preempt_need_resched() to force a future context switch, which allows rcu_preempt_note_context_switch() to report the deferred quiescent state to RCU's core processing. Unfortunately for expedited grace periods, there can be a significant delay between the call for a context switch and the actual context switch. This commit therefore introduces a ->deferred_qs flag to the task_struct structure's rcu_special structure. This flag is initially false, and is set to true by the first call to rcu_read_unlock() requiring special attention, then finally reset back to false when the quiescent state is finally reported. Then rcu_read_unlock() attempts full wakeups only when ->deferred_qs is false, that is, on the first rcu_read_unlock() requiring special attention. Note that a chain of RCU readers linked by some other sort of reader may find that a later rcu_read_unlock() is once again able to do a full wakeup, courtesy of an intervening preemption: rcu_read_lock(); /* preempted */ local_irq_disable(); rcu_read_unlock(); /* Can do full wakeup, sets ->deferred_qs. */ rcu_read_lock(); local_irq_enable(); preempt_disable() rcu_read_unlock(); /* Cannot do full wakeup, ->deferred_qs set. */ rcu_read_lock(); preempt_enable(); /* preempted, >deferred_qs reset. */ local_irq_disable(); rcu_read_unlock(); /* Can again do full wakeup, sets ->deferred_qs. */ Such linked RCU readers do not yet seem to appear in the Linux kernel, and it is probably best if they don't. However, RCU needs to handle them, and some variations on this theme could make even raise_softirq() unsafe due to the possibility of its doing a full wakeup. This commit therefore also avoids invoking raise_softirq() when the ->deferred_qs set flag is set. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

// Need to defer quiescent state until everything is enabled.
rcu: Make rcu_read_unlock_special() checks match raise_softirq_irqoff() Threaded interrupts provide additional interesting interactions between RCU and raise_softirq() that can result in self-deadlocks in v5.0-2 of the Linux kernel. These self-deadlocks can be provoked in susceptible kernels within a few minutes using the following rcutorture command on an 8-CPU system: tools/testing/selftests/rcutorture/bin/kvm.sh --duration 5 --configs "TREE03" --bootargs "threadirqs" Although post-v5.2 RCU commits have at least greatly reduced the probability of these self-deadlocks, this was entirely by accident. Although this sort of accident should be rowdily celebrated on those rare occasions when it does occur, such celebrations should be quickly followed by a principled patch, which is what this patch purports to be. The key point behind this patch is that when in_interrupt() returns true, __raise_softirq_irqoff() will never attempt a wakeup. Therefore, if in_interrupt(), calls to raise_softirq*() are both safe and extremely cheap. This commit therefore replaces the in_irq() calls in the "if" statement in rcu_read_unlock_special() with in_interrupt() and simplifies the "if" condition to the following: if (irqs_were_disabled && use_softirq && (in_interrupt() || (exp && !t->rcu_read_unlock_special.b.deferred_qs))) { raise_softirq_irqoff(RCU_SOFTIRQ); } else { /* Appeal to the scheduler. */ } The rationale behind the "if" condition is as follows: 1. irqs_were_disabled: If interrupts are enabled, we should instead appeal to the scheduler so as to let the upcoming irq_enable()/local_bh_enable() do the rescheduling for us. 2. use_softirq: If this kernel isn't using softirq, then raise_softirq_irqoff() will be unhelpful. 3. a. in_interrupt(): If this returns true, the subsequent call to raise_softirq_irqoff() is guaranteed not to do a wakeup, so that call will be both very cheap and quite safe. b. Otherwise, if !in_interrupt() the raise_softirq_irqoff() might do a wakeup, which is expensive and, in some contexts, unsafe. i. The "exp" (an expedited RCU grace period is being blocked) says that the wakeup is worthwhile, and: ii. The !.deferred_qs says that scheduler locks cannot be held, so the wakeup will be safe. Backporting this requires considerable care, so no auto-backport, please!

This commit therefore adds an ->exp_hint field to the task_struct structure's ->rcu_read_unlock_special field. The IPI handler sets this hint when it has interrupted an RCU read-side critical section, and this causes the outermost rcu_read_unlock() call to invoke rcu_read_unlock_special(), which, if preemption is enabled, reports the quiescent state immediately. If preemption is disabled, then the report is required to be deferred until preemption (or bottom halves or interrupts or whatever) is re-enabled. Because this is a hint, it does nothing for more complicated cases. For example, if the IPI interrupts an RCU reader, but interrupts are disabled across the rcu_read_unlock(), but another rcu_read_lock() is executed before interrupts are re-enabled, the hint will already have been cleared. If you do crazy things like this, reporting will be deferred until some later RCU_SOFTIRQ handler, context switch, cond_resched(), or similar.

rcu: Check for wakeup-safe conditions in rcu_read_unlock_special() When RCU core processing is offloaded from RCU_SOFTIRQ to the rcuc kthreads, a full and unconditional wakeup is required to initiate RCU core processing. In contrast, when RCU core processing is carried out by RCU_SOFTIRQ, a raise_softirq() suffices. Of course, there are situations where raise_softirq() does a full wakeup, but these do not occur with normal usage of rcu_read_unlock(). The reason that full wakeups can be problematic is that the scheduler sometimes invokes rcu_read_unlock() with its pi or rq locks held, which can of course result in deadlock in CONFIG_PREEMPT=y kernels when rcu_read_unlock() invokes the scheduler. Scheduler invocations can happen in the following situations: (1) The just-ended reader has been subjected to RCU priority boosting, in which case rcu_read_unlock() must deboost, (2) Interrupts were disabled across the call to rcu_read_unlock(), so the quiescent state must be deferred, requiring a wakeup of the rcuc kthread corresponding to the current CPU. Now, the scheduler may hold one of its locks across rcu_read_unlock() only if preemption has been disabled across the entire RCU read-side critical section, which in the days prior to RCU flavor consolidation meant that rcu_read_unlock() never needed to do wakeups. However, this is no longer the case for any but the first rcu_read_unlock() following a condition (e.g., preempted RCU reader) requiring special rcu_read_unlock() attention. For example, an RCU read-side critical section might be preempted, but preemption might be disabled across the rcu_read_unlock(). The rcu_read_unlock() must defer the quiescent state, and therefore leaves the task queued on its leaf rcu_node structure. If a scheduler interrupt occurs, the scheduler might well invoke rcu_read_unlock() with one of its locks held. However, the preempted task is still queued, so rcu_read_unlock() will attempt to defer the quiescent state once more. When RCU core processing is carried out by RCU_SOFTIRQ, this works just fine: The raise_softirq() function simply sets a bit in a per-CPU mask and the RCU core processing will be undertaken upon return from interrupt. Not so when RCU core processing is carried out by the rcuc kthread: In this case, the required wakeup can result in deadlock. The initial solution to this problem was to use set_tsk_need_resched() and set_preempt_need_resched() to force a future context switch, which allows rcu_preempt_note_context_switch() to report the deferred quiescent state to RCU's core processing. Unfortunately for expedited grace periods, there can be a significant delay between the call for a context switch and the actual context switch. This commit therefore introduces a ->deferred_qs flag to the task_struct structure's rcu_special structure. This flag is initially false, and is set to true by the first call to rcu_read_unlock() requiring special attention, then finally reset back to false when the quiescent state is finally reported. Then rcu_read_unlock() attempts full wakeups only when ->deferred_qs is false, that is, on the first rcu_read_unlock() requiring special attention. Note that a chain of RCU readers linked by some other sort of reader may find that a later rcu_read_unlock() is once again able to do a full wakeup, courtesy of an intervening preemption: rcu_read_lock(); /* preempted */ local_irq_disable(); rcu_read_unlock(); /* Can do full wakeup, sets ->deferred_qs. */ rcu_read_lock(); local_irq_enable(); preempt_disable() rcu_read_unlock(); /* Cannot do full wakeup, ->deferred_qs set. */ rcu_read_lock(); preempt_enable(); /* preempted, >deferred_qs reset. */ local_irq_disable(); rcu_read_unlock(); /* Can again do full wakeup, sets ->deferred_qs. */ Such linked RCU readers do not yet seem to appear in the Linux kernel, and it is probably best if they don't. However, RCU needs to handle them, and some variations on this theme could make even raise_softirq() unsafe due to the possibility of its doing a full wakeup. This commit therefore also avoids invoking raise_softirq() when the ->deferred_qs set flag is set. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

rcu: Defer reporting RCU-preempt quiescent states when disabled This commit defers reporting of RCU-preempt quiescent states at rcu_read_unlock_special() time when any of interrupts, softirq, or preemption are disabled. These deferred quiescent states are reported at a later RCU_SOFTIRQ, context switch, idle entry, or CPU-hotplug offline operation. Of course, if another RCU read-side critical section has started in the meantime, the reporting of the quiescent state will be further deferred. This also means that disabling preemption, interrupts, and/or softirqs will act as an RCU-preempt read-side critical section. This is enforced by checking preempt_count() as needed. Some special cases must be handled on an ad-hoc basis, for example, context switch is a quiescent state even though both the scheduler and do_exit() disable preemption. In these cases, additional calls to rcu_preempt_deferred_qs() override the preemption disabling. Similar logic overrides disabled interrupts in rcu_preempt_check_callbacks() because in this case the quiescent state happened just before the corresponding scheduling-clock interrupt. In theory, this change lifts a long-standing restriction that required that if interrupts were disabled across a call to rcu_read_unlock() that the matching rcu_read_lock() also be contained within that interrupts-disabled region of code. Because the reporting of the corresponding RCU-preempt quiescent state is now deferred until after interrupts have been enabled, it is no longer possible for this situation to result in deadlocks involving the scheduler's runqueue and priority-inheritance locks. This may allow some code simplification that might reduce interrupt latency a bit. Unfortunately, in practice this would also defer deboosting a low-priority task that had been subjected to RCU priority boosting, so real-time-response considerations might well force this restriction to remain in place. Because RCU-preempt grace periods are now blocked not only by RCU read-side critical sections, but also by disabling of interrupts, preemption, and softirqs, it will be possible to eliminate RCU-bh and RCU-sched in favor of RCU-preempt in CONFIG_PREEMPT=y kernels. This may require some additional plumbing to provide the network denial-of-service guarantees that have been traditionally provided by RCU-bh. Once these are in place, CONFIG_PREEMPT=n kernels will be able to fold RCU-bh into RCU-sched. This would mean that all kernels would have but one flavor of RCU, which would open the door to significant code cleanup. Moving to a single flavor of RCU would also have the beneficial effect of reducing the NOCB kthreads by at least a factor of two. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

rcu: Speed up expedited GPs when interrupting RCU reader In PREEMPT kernels, an expedited grace period might send an IPI to a CPU that is executing an RCU read-side critical section.

And this does happen in the case where the reader has been preempted. But it would also be a nice performance optimization if immediate reporting also happened in the preemption-free case.

rcu: Suppress false-positive splats from mid-init task resume Consider the following sequence of events in a PREEMPT=y kernel: 1. All CPUs corresponding to a given leaf rcu_node structure are offline. 2. The first phase of the rcu_gp_init() function's grace-period initialization runs, and sets that rcu_node structure's ->qsmaskinit to zero, as it should. 3. One of the CPUs corresponding to that rcu_node structure comes back online. Note that because this CPU came online after the grace period started, this grace period can safely ignore this newly onlined CPU. 4. A task running on the newly onlined CPU enters an RCU-preempt read-side critical section, and is then preempted. Because the corresponding rcu_node structure's ->qsmask is zero, rcu_preempt_ctxt_queue() leaves the rcu_node structure's ->gp_tasks field NULL, as it should. 5. The rcu_gp_init() function continues running the second phase of grace-period initialization. The ->qsmask field of the parent of the aforementioned leaf rcu_node structure is set to not expect a quiescent state from the leaf, as is only right and proper. However, when rcu_gp_init() reaches the leaf, it invokes rcu_preempt_check_blocked_tasks(), which sees that the leaf's ->blkd_tasks list is non-empty, and therefore sets the leaf's ->gp_tasks field to reference the first task on that list. 6. The grace period ends before the preempted task resumes, which is perfectly fine, given that this grace period was under no obligation to wait for that task to exit its late-starting RCU-preempt read-side critical section. Unfortunately, the leaf's ->gp_tasks field is non-NULL, so rcu_gp_cleanup() splats. After all, it appears to rcu_gp_cleanup() that the grace period failed to wait for a task that was supposed to be blocking that grace period. This commit avoids this false-positive splat by adding a check of both ->qsmaskinit and ->wait_blkd_tasks to rcu_preempt_check_blocked_tasks(). If both ->qsmaskinit and ->wait_blkd_tasks are zero, then the task must have entered its RCU-preempt read-side critical section late (after all, the CPU that it is running on was not online at that time), which means that the upper-level rcu_node structure won't be waiting for anything on the leaf anyway. If ->wait_blkd_tasks is non-zero, then there is at least one task on ths rcu_node structure's ->blkd_tasks list whose RCU read-side critical section predates the current grace period. If ->qsmaskinit is non-zero, there is at least one CPU that was online at the start of the current grace period. Thus, if both are zero, there is nothing to wait for. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

Perhaps more important, this new algorithm has a much simpler implementation, saving well over 1,000 lines of code compared to mainline's implementation of preemptable RCU, which will hopefully be retired in favor of this new algorithm. The simplifications are obtained by maintaining per-task nesting state for running tasks, and using a simple lock-protected algorithm to handle accounting when tasks block within RCU read-side critical sections, making use of lessons learned while creating numerous user-level RCU implementations over the past 18 months.

rcu: Defer reporting RCU-preempt quiescent states when disabled This commit defers reporting of RCU-preempt quiescent states at rcu_read_unlock_special() time when any of interrupts, softirq, or preemption are disabled. These deferred quiescent states are reported at a later RCU_SOFTIRQ, context switch, idle entry, or CPU-hotplug offline operation. Of course, if another RCU read-side critical section has started in the meantime, the reporting of the quiescent state will be further deferred. This also means that disabling preemption, interrupts, and/or softirqs will act as an RCU-preempt read-side critical section. This is enforced by checking preempt_count() as needed. Some special cases must be handled on an ad-hoc basis, for example, context switch is a quiescent state even though both the scheduler and do_exit() disable preemption. In these cases, additional calls to rcu_preempt_deferred_qs() override the preemption disabling. Similar logic overrides disabled interrupts in rcu_preempt_check_callbacks() because in this case the quiescent state happened just before the corresponding scheduling-clock interrupt. In theory, this change lifts a long-standing restriction that required that if interrupts were disabled across a call to rcu_read_unlock() that the matching rcu_read_lock() also be contained within that interrupts-disabled region of code. Because the reporting of the corresponding RCU-preempt quiescent state is now deferred until after interrupts have been enabled, it is no longer possible for this situation to result in deadlocks involving the scheduler's runqueue and priority-inheritance locks. This may allow some code simplification that might reduce interrupt latency a bit. Unfortunately, in practice this would also defer deboosting a low-priority task that had been subjected to RCU priority boosting, so real-time-response considerations might well force this restriction to remain in place. Because RCU-preempt grace periods are now blocked not only by RCU read-side critical sections, but also by disabling of interrupts, preemption, and softirqs, it will be possible to eliminate RCU-bh and RCU-sched in favor of RCU-preempt in CONFIG_PREEMPT=y kernels. This may require some additional plumbing to provide the network denial-of-service guarantees that have been traditionally provided by RCU-bh. Once these are in place, CONFIG_PREEMPT=n kernels will be able to fold RCU-bh into RCU-sched. This would mean that all kernels would have but one flavor of RCU, which would open the door to significant code cleanup. Moving to a single flavor of RCU would also have the beneficial effect of reducing the NOCB kthreads by at least a factor of two. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

/* If GP is oldish, ask for help from rcu_read_unlock_special(). */
rcu: protect __rcu_read_unlock() against scheduler-using irq handlers The addition of RCU read-side critical sections within runqueue and priority-inheritance lock critical sections introduced some deadlock cycles, for example, involving interrupts from __rcu_read_unlock() where the interrupt handlers call wake_up(). This situation can cause the instance of __rcu_read_unlock() invoked from interrupt to do some of the processing that would otherwise have been carried out by the task-level instance of __rcu_read_unlock(). When the interrupt-level instance of __rcu_read_unlock() is called with a scheduler lock held from interrupt-entry/exit situations where in_irq() returns false, deadlock can result. This commit resolves these deadlocks by using negative values of the per-task ->rcu_read_lock_nesting counter to indicate that an instance of __rcu_read_unlock() is in flight, which in turn prevents instances from interrupt handlers from doing any special processing. This patch is inspired by Steven Rostedt's earlier patch that similarly made __rcu_read_unlock() guard against interrupt-mediated recursion (see https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/7/15/326), but this commit refines Steven's approach to avoid the need for preemption disabling on the __rcu_read_unlock() fastpath and to also avoid the need for manipulating a separate per-CPU variable. This patch avoids need for preempt_disable() by instead using negative values of the per-task ->rcu_read_lock_nesting counter. Note that nested rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock() pairs are still permitted, but they will never see ->rcu_read_lock_nesting go to zero, and will therefore never invoke rcu_read_unlock_special(), thus preventing them from seeing the RCU_READ_UNLOCK_BLOCKED bit should it be set in ->rcu_read_unlock_special. This patch also adds a check for ->rcu_read_unlock_special being negative in rcu_check_callbacks(), thus preventing the RCU_READ_UNLOCK_NEED_QS bit from being set should a scheduling-clock interrupt occur while __rcu_read_unlock() is exiting from an outermost RCU read-side critical section. Of course, __rcu_read_unlock() can be preempted during the time that ->rcu_read_lock_nesting is negative. This could result in the setting of the RCU_READ_UNLOCK_BLOCKED bit after __rcu_read_unlock() checks it, and would also result it this task being queued on the corresponding rcu_node structure's blkd_tasks list. Therefore, some later RCU read-side critical section would enter rcu_read_unlock_special() to clean up -- which could result in deadlock if that critical section happened to be in the scheduler where the runqueue or priority-inheritance locks were held. This situation is dealt with by making rcu_preempt_note_context_switch() check for negative ->rcu_read_lock_nesting, thus refraining from queuing the task (and from setting RCU_READ_UNLOCK_BLOCKED) if we are already exiting from the outermost RCU read-side critical section (in other words, we really are no longer actually in that RCU read-side critical section). In addition, rcu_preempt_note_context_switch() invokes rcu_read_unlock_special() to carry out the cleanup in this case, which clears out the ->rcu_read_unlock_special bits and dequeues the task (if necessary), in turn avoiding needless delay of the current RCU grace period and needless RCU priority boosting. It is still illegal to call rcu_read_unlock() while holding a scheduler lock if the prior RCU read-side critical section has ever had either preemption or irqs enabled. However, the common use case is legal, namely where then entire RCU read-side critical section executes with irqs disabled, for example, when the scheduler lock is held across the entire lifetime of the RCU read-side critical section.

* Check for a task exiting while in a preemptible-RCU read-side
rcu: Make exit_rcu() handle non-preempted RCU readers The purpose of exit_rcu() is to handle cases where buggy code causes a task to exit within an RCU read-side critical section. It currently does that in the case where said RCU read-side critical section was preempted at least once, but fails to handle cases where preemption did not occur. This case needs to be handled because otherwise the final context switch away from the exiting task will incorrectly behave as if task exit were instead a preemption of an RCU read-side critical section, and will therefore queue the exiting task. The exiting task will have exited, and thus won't ever execute rcu_read_unlock(), which means that it will remain queued forever, blocking all subsequent grace periods, and eventually resulting in OOM. Although this is arguably better than letting grace periods proceed and having a later rcu_read_unlock() access the now-freed task structure that once belonged to the exiting tasks, it would obviously be better to correctly handle this case. This commit therefore sets ->rcu_read_lock_nesting to 1 in that case, so that the subsequence call to __rcu_read_unlock() causes the exiting task to exit its dangling RCU read-side critical section. Note that deferred quiescent states need not be considered. The reason is that removing the task from the ->blkd_tasks[] list in the call to rcu_preempt_deferred_qs() handles the per-task component of any deferred quiescent state, and all other components of any deferred quiescent state are associated with the CPU, which isn't going anywhere until some later CPU-hotplug operation, which will report any remaining deferred quiescent states from within the rcu_report_dead() function. Note also that negative values of ->rcu_read_lock_nesting need not be considered. First, these won't show up in exit_rcu() unless there is a serious bug in RCU, and second, setting ->rcu_read_lock_nesting sets the state so that the RCU read-side critical section will be exited normally. Again, this code has no effect unless there has been some prior bug that prevents a task from leaving an RCU read-side critical section before exiting. Furthermore, there have been no reports of the bug fixed by this commit appearing in production. This commit is therefore absolutely -not- recommended for backporting to -stable.

rcu: Merge preemptable-RCU functionality into hierarchical RCU Create a kernel/rcutree_plugin.h file that contains definitions for preemptable RCU (or, under the #else branch of the #ifdef, empty definitions for the classic non-preemptable semantics). These definitions fit into plugins defined in kernel/rcutree.c for this purpose. This variant of preemptable RCU uses a new algorithm whose read-side expense is roughly that of classic hierarchical RCU under CONFIG_PREEMPT. This new algorithm's update-side expense is similar to that of classic hierarchical RCU, and, in absence of read-side preemption or blocking, is exactly that of classic hierarchical RCU. Perhaps more important, this new algorithm has a much simpler implementation, saving well over 1,000 lines of code compared to mainline's implementation of preemptable RCU, which will hopefully be retired in favor of this new algorithm. The simplifications are obtained by maintaining per-task nesting state for running tasks, and using a simple lock-protected algorithm to handle accounting when tasks block within RCU read-side critical sections, making use of lessons learned while creating numerous user-level RCU implementations over the past 18 months.

rcu: Fix grace-period-stall bug on large systems with CPU hotplug When the last CPU of a given leaf rcu_node structure goes offline, all of the tasks queued on that leaf rcu_node structure (due to having blocked in their current RCU read-side critical sections) are requeued onto the root rcu_node structure. This requeuing is carried out by rcu_preempt_offline_tasks(). However, it is possible that these queued tasks are the only thing preventing the leaf rcu_node structure from reporting a quiescent state up the rcu_node hierarchy. Unfortunately, the old code would fail to do this reporting, resulting in a grace-period stall given the following sequence of events: 1. Kernel built for more than 32 CPUs on 32-bit systems or for more than 64 CPUs on 64-bit systems, so that there is more than one rcu_node structure. (Or CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT is artificially set to a number smaller than CONFIG_NR_CPUS.) 2. The kernel is built with CONFIG_TREE_PREEMPT_RCU. 3. A task running on a CPU associated with a given leaf rcu_node structure blocks while in an RCU read-side critical section -and- that CPU has not yet passed through a quiescent state for the current RCU grace period. This will cause the task to be queued on the leaf rcu_node's blocked_tasks[] array, in particular, on the element of this array corresponding to the current grace period. 4. Each of the remaining CPUs corresponding to this same leaf rcu_node structure pass through a quiescent state. However, the task is still in its RCU read-side critical section, so these quiescent states cannot be reported further up the rcu_node hierarchy. Nevertheless, all bits in the leaf rcu_node structure's ->qsmask field are now zero. 5. Each of the remaining CPUs go offline. (The events in step #4 and #5 can happen in any order as long as each CPU passes through a quiescent state before going offline.) 6. When the last CPU goes offline, __rcu_offline_cpu() will invoke rcu_preempt_offline_tasks(), which will move the task to the root rcu_node structure, but without reporting a quiescent state up the rcu_node hierarchy (and this failure to report a quiescent state is the bug). But because this leaf rcu_node structure's ->qsmask field is already zero and its ->block_tasks[] entries are all empty, force_quiescent_state() will skip this rcu_node structure. Therefore, grace periods are now hung. This patch abstracts some code out of rcu_read_unlock_special(), calling the result task_quiet() by analogy with cpu_quiet(), and invokes task_quiet() from both rcu_read_lock_special() and __rcu_offline_cpu(). Invoking task_quiet() from __rcu_offline_cpu() reports the quiescent state up the rcu_node hierarchy, fixing the bug.

rcu: Defer reporting RCU-preempt quiescent states when disabled This commit defers reporting of RCU-preempt quiescent states at rcu_read_unlock_special() time when any of interrupts, softirq, or preemption are disabled. These deferred quiescent states are reported at a later RCU_SOFTIRQ, context switch, idle entry, or CPU-hotplug offline operation. Of course, if another RCU read-side critical section has started in the meantime, the reporting of the quiescent state will be further deferred. This also means that disabling preemption, interrupts, and/or softirqs will act as an RCU-preempt read-side critical section. This is enforced by checking preempt_count() as needed. Some special cases must be handled on an ad-hoc basis, for example, context switch is a quiescent state even though both the scheduler and do_exit() disable preemption. In these cases, additional calls to rcu_preempt_deferred_qs() override the preemption disabling. Similar logic overrides disabled interrupts in rcu_preempt_check_callbacks() because in this case the quiescent state happened just before the corresponding scheduling-clock interrupt. In theory, this change lifts a long-standing restriction that required that if interrupts were disabled across a call to rcu_read_unlock() that the matching rcu_read_lock() also be contained within that interrupts-disabled region of code. Because the reporting of the corresponding RCU-preempt quiescent state is now deferred until after interrupts have been enabled, it is no longer possible for this situation to result in deadlocks involving the scheduler's runqueue and priority-inheritance locks. This may allow some code simplification that might reduce interrupt latency a bit. Unfortunately, in practice this would also defer deboosting a low-priority task that had been subjected to RCU priority boosting, so real-time-response considerations might well force this restriction to remain in place. Because RCU-preempt grace periods are now blocked not only by RCU read-side critical sections, but also by disabling of interrupts, preemption, and softirqs, it will be possible to eliminate RCU-bh and RCU-sched in favor of RCU-preempt in CONFIG_PREEMPT=y kernels. This may require some additional plumbing to provide the network denial-of-service guarantees that have been traditionally provided by RCU-bh. Once these are in place, CONFIG_PREEMPT=n kernels will be able to fold RCU-bh into RCU-sched. This would mean that all kernels would have but one flavor of RCU, which would open the door to significant code cleanup. Moving to a single flavor of RCU would also have the beneficial effect of reducing the NOCB kthreads by at least a factor of two. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

rcu: Accelerate grace period if last non-dynticked CPU Currently, rcu_needs_cpu() simply checks whether the current CPU has an outstanding RCU callback, which means that the last CPU to go into dyntick-idle mode might wait a few ticks for the relevant grace periods to complete. However, if all the other CPUs are in dyntick-idle mode, and if this CPU is in a quiescent state (which it is for RCU-bh and RCU-sched any time that we are considering going into dyntick-idle mode), then the grace period is instantly complete. This patch therefore repeatedly invokes the RCU grace-period machinery in order to force any needed grace periods to complete quickly. It does so a limited number of times in order to prevent starvation by an RCU callback function that might pass itself to call_rcu(). However, if any CPU other than the current one is not in dyntick-idle mode, fall back to simply checking (with fix to bug noted by Lai Jiangshan). Also, take advantage of last grace-period forcing, the opportunity to do so noted by Steve Rostedt. And apply simplified #ifdef condition suggested by Frederic Weisbecker. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

rcu: Yield simpler The rcu_yield() code is amazing. It's there to avoid starvation of the system when lots of (boosting) work is to be done. Now looking at the code it's functionality is: Make the thread SCHED_OTHER and very nice, i.e. get it out of the way Arm a timer with 2 ticks schedule() Now if the system goes idle the rcu task returns, regains SCHED_FIFO and plugs on. If the systems stays busy the timer fires and wakes a per node kthread which in turn makes the per cpu thread SCHED_FIFO and brings it back on the cpu. For the boosting thread the "make it FIFO" bit is missing and it just runs some magic boost checks. Now this is a lot of code with extra threads and complexity. It's way simpler to let the tasks when they detect overload schedule away for 2 ticks and defer the normal wakeup as long as they are in yielded state and the cpu is not idle. That solves the same problem and the only difference is that when the cpu goes idle it's not guaranteed that the thread returns right away, but it won't be longer out than two ticks, so no harm is done. If that's an issue than it is way simpler just to wake the task from idle as RCU has callbacks there anyway.

rcu: Yield simpler The rcu_yield() code is amazing. It's there to avoid starvation of the system when lots of (boosting) work is to be done. Now looking at the code it's functionality is: Make the thread SCHED_OTHER and very nice, i.e. get it out of the way Arm a timer with 2 ticks schedule() Now if the system goes idle the rcu task returns, regains SCHED_FIFO and plugs on. If the systems stays busy the timer fires and wakes a per node kthread which in turn makes the per cpu thread SCHED_FIFO and brings it back on the cpu. For the boosting thread the "make it FIFO" bit is missing and it just runs some magic boost checks. Now this is a lot of code with extra threads and complexity. It's way simpler to let the tasks when they detect overload schedule away for 2 ticks and defer the normal wakeup as long as they are in yielded state and the cpu is not idle. That solves the same problem and the only difference is that when the cpu goes idle it's not guaranteed that the thread returns right away, but it won't be longer out than two ticks, so no harm is done. If that's an issue than it is way simpler just to wake the task from idle as RCU has callbacks there anyway.

rcu: Have the RCU tracepoints use the tracepoint_string infrastructure Currently, RCU tracepoints save only a pointer to strings in the ring buffer. When displayed via the /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace file they are referenced like the printf "%s" that looks at the address in the ring buffer and prints out the string it points too. This requires that the strings are constant and persistent in the kernel. The problem with this is for tools like trace-cmd and perf that read the binary data from the buffers but have no access to the kernel memory to find out what string is represented by the address in the buffer. By using the tracepoint_string infrastructure, the RCU tracepoint strings can be exported such that userspace tools can map the addresses to the strings. # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/printk_formats 0xffffffff81a4a0e8 : "rcu_preempt" 0xffffffff81a4a0f4 : "rcu_bh" 0xffffffff81a4a100 : "rcu_sched" 0xffffffff818437a0 : "cpuqs" 0xffffffff818437a6 : "rcu_sched" 0xffffffff818437a0 : "cpuqs" 0xffffffff818437b0 : "rcu_bh" 0xffffffff818437b7 : "Start context switch" 0xffffffff818437cc : "End context switch" 0xffffffff818437a0 : "cpuqs" [...] Now userspaces tools can display: rcu_utilization: Start context switch rcu_dyntick: Start 1 0 rcu_utilization: End context switch rcu_batch_start: rcu_preempt CBs=0/5 bl=10 rcu_dyntick: End 0 140000000000000 rcu_invoke_callback: rcu_preempt rhp=0xffff880071c0d600 func=proc_i_callback rcu_invoke_callback: rcu_preempt rhp=0xffff880077b5b230 func=__d_free rcu_dyntick: Start 140000000000000 0 rcu_invoke_callback: rcu_preempt rhp=0xffff880077563980 func=file_free_rcu rcu_batch_end: rcu_preempt CBs-invoked=3 idle=>c<>c<>c<>c< rcu_utilization: End RCU core rcu_grace_period: rcu_preempt 9741 start rcu_dyntick: Start 1 0 rcu_dyntick: End 0 140000000000000 rcu_dyntick: Start 140000000000000 0 Instead of: rcu_utilization: ffffffff81843110 rcu_future_grace_period: ffffffff81842f1d 9939 9939 9940 0 0 3 ffffffff81842f32 rcu_batch_start: ffffffff81842f1d CBs=0/4 bl=10 rcu_future_grace_period: ffffffff81842f1d 9939 9939 9940 0 0 3 ffffffff81842f3c rcu_grace_period: ffffffff81842f1d 9939 ffffffff81842f80 rcu_invoke_callback: ffffffff81842f1d rhp=0xffff88007888aac0 func=file_free_rcu rcu_grace_period: ffffffff81842f1d 9939 ffffffff81842f95 rcu_invoke_callback: ffffffff81842f1d rhp=0xffff88006aeb4600 func=proc_i_callback rcu_future_grace_period: ffffffff81842f1d 9939 9939 9940 0 0 3 ffffffff81842f32 rcu_future_grace_period: ffffffff81842f1d 9939 9939 9940 0 0 3 ffffffff81842f3c rcu_invoke_callback: ffffffff81842f1d rhp=0xffff880071cb9fc0 func=__d_free rcu_grace_period: ffffffff81842f1d 9939 ffffffff81842f80 rcu_invoke_callback: ffffffff81842f1d rhp=0xffff88007888ae80 func=file_free_rcu rcu_batch_end: ffffffff81842f1d CBs-invoked=4 idle=>c<>c<>c<>c< rcu_utilization: ffffffff8184311f Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

rcu: Yield simpler The rcu_yield() code is amazing. It's there to avoid starvation of the system when lots of (boosting) work is to be done. Now looking at the code it's functionality is: Make the thread SCHED_OTHER and very nice, i.e. get it out of the way Arm a timer with 2 ticks schedule() Now if the system goes idle the rcu task returns, regains SCHED_FIFO and plugs on. If the systems stays busy the timer fires and wakes a per node kthread which in turn makes the per cpu thread SCHED_FIFO and brings it back on the cpu. For the boosting thread the "make it FIFO" bit is missing and it just runs some magic boost checks. Now this is a lot of code with extra threads and complexity. It's way simpler to let the tasks when they detect overload schedule away for 2 ticks and defer the normal wakeup as long as they are in yielded state and the cpu is not idle. That solves the same problem and the only difference is that when the cpu goes idle it's not guaranteed that the thread returns right away, but it won't be longer out than two ticks, so no harm is done. If that's an issue than it is way simpler just to wake the task from idle as RCU has callbacks there anyway.

rcu: Process offlining and onlining only at grace-period start Races between CPU hotplug and grace periods can be difficult to resolve, so the ->onoff_mutex is used to exclude the two events. Unfortunately, this means that it is impossible for an outgoing CPU to perform the last bits of its offlining from its last pass through the idle loop, because sleeplocks cannot be acquired in that context. This commit avoids these problems by buffering online and offline events in a new ->qsmaskinitnext field in the leaf rcu_node structures. When a grace period starts, the events accumulated in this mask are applied to the ->qsmaskinit field, and, if needed, up the rcu_node tree. The special case of all CPUs corresponding to a given leaf rcu_node structure being offline while there are still elements in that structure's ->blkd_tasks list is handled using a new ->wait_blkd_tasks field. In this case, propagating the offline bits up the tree is deferred until the beginning of the grace period after all of the tasks have exited their RCU read-side critical sections and removed themselves from the list, at which point the ->wait_blkd_tasks flag is cleared. If one of that leaf rcu_node structure's CPUs comes back online before the list empties, then the ->wait_blkd_tasks flag is simply cleared. This of course means that RCU's notion of which CPUs are offline can be out of date. This is OK because RCU need only wait on CPUs that were online at the time that the grace period started. In addition, RCU's force-quiescent-state actions will handle the case where a CPU goes offline after the grace period starts. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

rcu: Correctly handle sparse possible cpus In many cases in the RCU tree code, we iterate over the set of cpus for a leaf node described by rcu_node::grplo and rcu_node::grphi, checking per-cpu data for each cpu in this range. However, if the set of possible cpus is sparse, some cpus described in this range are not possible, and thus no per-cpu region will have been allocated (or initialised) for them by the generic percpu code. Erroneous accesses to a per-cpu area for these !possible cpus may fault or may hit other data depending on the addressed generated when the erroneous per cpu offset is applied. In practice, both cases have been observed on arm64 hardware (the former being silent, but detectable with additional patches). To avoid issues resulting from this, we must iterate over the set of *possible* cpus for a given leaf node. This patch add a new helper, for_each_leaf_node_possible_cpu, to enable this. As iteration is often intertwined with rcu_node local bitmask manipulation, a new leaf_node_cpu_bit helper is added to make this simpler and more consistent.

rcu: Yield simpler The rcu_yield() code is amazing. It's there to avoid starvation of the system when lots of (boosting) work is to be done. Now looking at the code it's functionality is: Make the thread SCHED_OTHER and very nice, i.e. get it out of the way Arm a timer with 2 ticks schedule() Now if the system goes idle the rcu task returns, regains SCHED_FIFO and plugs on. If the systems stays busy the timer fires and wakes a per node kthread which in turn makes the per cpu thread SCHED_FIFO and brings it back on the cpu. For the boosting thread the "make it FIFO" bit is missing and it just runs some magic boost checks. Now this is a lot of code with extra threads and complexity. It's way simpler to let the tasks when they detect overload schedule away for 2 ticks and defer the normal wakeup as long as they are in yielded state and the cpu is not idle. That solves the same problem and the only difference is that when the cpu goes idle it's not guaranteed that the thread returns right away, but it won't be longer out than two ticks, so no harm is done. If that's an issue than it is way simpler just to wake the task from idle as RCU has callbacks there anyway.

rcu: Precompute RCU_FAST_NO_HZ timer offsets When a CPU is entering dyntick-idle mode, tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() calls rcu_needs_cpu() see if RCU needs that CPU, and, if not, computes the next wakeup time based on the timer wheels. Only later, when actually entering the idle loop, rcu_prepare_for_idle() will be invoked. In some cases, rcu_prepare_for_idle() will post timers to wake the CPU back up. But all for naught: The next wakeup time for the CPU has already been computed, and posting a timer afterwards does not force that wakeup time to be recomputed. This means that rcu_prepare_for_idle()'s have no effect. This is not a problem on a busy system because something else will wake up the CPU soon enough. However, on lightly loaded systems, the CPU might stay asleep for a considerable length of time. If that CPU has a callback that the rest of the system is waiting on, the system might run very slowly or (in theory) even hang. This commit avoids this problem by having rcu_needs_cpu() give tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() an estimate of when RCU will need the CPU to wake back up, which tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() takes into account when programming the CPU's wakeup time. An alternative approach is for rcu_prepare_for_idle() to use hrtimers instead of normal timers, but timers are much more efficient than are hrtimers for frequently and repeatedly posting and cancelling a given timer, which is exactly what RCU_FAST_NO_HZ does.

rcu: Make RCU_FAST_NO_HZ handle timer migration The current RCU_FAST_NO_HZ assumes that timers do not migrate unless a CPU goes offline, in which case it assumes that the CPU will have to come out of dyntick-idle mode (cancelling the timer) in order to go offline. This is important because when RCU_FAST_NO_HZ permits a CPU to enter dyntick-idle mode despite having RCU callbacks pending, it posts a timer on that CPU to force a wakeup on that CPU. This wakeup ensures that the CPU will eventually handle the end of the grace period, including invoking its RCU callbacks. However, Pascal Chapperon's test setup shows that the timer handler rcu_idle_gp_timer_func() really does get invoked in some cases. This is problematic because this can cause the CPU that entered dyntick-idle mode despite still having RCU callbacks pending to remain in dyntick-idle mode indefinitely, which means that its RCU callbacks might never be invoked. This situation can result in grace-period delays or even system hangs, which matches Pascal's observations of slow boot-up and shutdown (https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/5/142). See also the bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=806548 This commit therefore causes the "should never be invoked" timer handler rcu_idle_gp_timer_func() to use smp_call_function_single() to wake up the CPU for which the timer was intended, allowing that CPU to invoke its RCU callbacks in a timely manner.

rcu: Accelerate grace period if last non-dynticked CPU Currently, rcu_needs_cpu() simply checks whether the current CPU has an outstanding RCU callback, which means that the last CPU to go into dyntick-idle mode might wait a few ticks for the relevant grace periods to complete. However, if all the other CPUs are in dyntick-idle mode, and if this CPU is in a quiescent state (which it is for RCU-bh and RCU-sched any time that we are considering going into dyntick-idle mode), then the grace period is instantly complete. This patch therefore repeatedly invokes the RCU grace-period machinery in order to force any needed grace periods to complete quickly. It does so a limited number of times in order to prevent starvation by an RCU callback function that might pass itself to call_rcu(). However, if any CPU other than the current one is not in dyntick-idle mode, fall back to simply checking (with fix to bug noted by Lai Jiangshan). Also, take advantage of last grace-period forcing, the opportunity to do so noted by Steve Rostedt. And apply simplified #ifdef condition suggested by Frederic Weisbecker. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

rcu: Make callers awaken grace-period kthread The rcu_start_gp_advanced() function currently uses irq_work_queue() to defer wakeups of the RCU grace-period kthread. This deferring is necessary to avoid RCU-scheduler deadlocks involving the rcu_node structure's lock, meaning that RCU cannot call any of the scheduler's wake-up functions while holding one of these locks. Unfortunately, the second and subsequent calls to irq_work_queue() are ignored, and the first call will be ignored (aside from queuing the work item) if the scheduler-clock tick is turned off. This is OK for many uses, especially those where irq_work_queue() is called from an interrupt or softirq handler, because in those cases the scheduler-clock-tick state will be re-evaluated, which will turn the scheduler-clock tick back on. On the next tick, any deferred work will then be processed. However, this strategy does not always work for RCU, which can be invoked at process level from idle CPUs. In this case, the tick might never be turned back on, indefinitely defering a grace-period start request. Note that the RCU CPU stall detector cannot see this condition, because there is no RCU grace period in progress. Therefore, we can (and do!) see long tens-of-seconds stalls in grace-period handling. In theory, we could see a full grace-period hang, but rcutorture testing to date has seen only the tens-of-seconds stalls. Event tracing demonstrates that irq_work_queue() is being called repeatedly to no effect during these stalls: The "newreq" event appears repeatedly from a task that is not one of the grace-period kthreads. In theory, irq_work_queue() might be fixed to avoid this sort of issue, but RCU's requirements are unusual and it is quite straightforward to pass wake-up responsibility up through RCU's call chain, so that the wakeup happens when the offending locks are released. This commit therefore makes this change. The rcu_start_gp_advanced(), rcu_start_future_gp(), rcu_accelerate_cbs(), rcu_advance_cbs(), __note_gp_changes(), and rcu_start_gp() functions now return a boolean which indicates when a wake-up is needed. A new rcu_gp_kthread_wake() does the wakeup when it is necessary and safe to do so: No self-wakes, no wake-ups if the ->gp_flags field indicates there is no need (as in someone else did the wake-up before we got around to it), and no wake-ups before the grace-period kthread has been created.

rcu: Make rcu_nocb_poll an early_param instead of module_param The as-documented rcu_nocb_poll will fail to enable this feature for two reasons. (1) there is an extra "s" in the documented name which is not in the code, and (2) since it uses module_param, it really is expecting a prefix, akin to "rcutree.fanout_leaf" and the prefix isn't documented. However, there are several reasons why we might not want to simply fix the typo and add the prefix: 1) we'd end up with rcutree.rcu_nocb_poll, and rather probably make a change to rcutree.nocb_poll 2) if we did #1, then the prefix wouldn't be consistent with the rcu_nocbs=<cpumap> parameter (i.e. one with, one without prefix) 3) the use of module_param in a header file is less than desired, since it isn't immediately obvious that it will get processed via rcutree.c and get the prefix from that (although use of module_param_named() could clarify that.) 4) the implied export of /sys/module/rcutree/parameters/rcu_nocb_poll data to userspace via module_param() doesn't really buy us anything, as it is read-only and we can tell if it is enabled already without it, since there is a printk at early boot telling us so. In light of all that, just change it from a module_param() to an early_setup() call, and worry about adding it to /sys later on if we decide to allow a dynamic setting of it. Also change the variable to be tagged as read_mostly, since it will only ever be fiddled with at most, once at boot.

rcu: Use simple wait queues where possible in rcutree As of commit dae6e64d2bcfd ("rcu: Introduce proper blocking to no-CBs kthreads GP waits") the RCU subsystem started making use of wait queues. Here we convert all additions of RCU wait queues to use simple wait queues, since they don't need the extra overhead of the full wait queue features. Originally this was done for RT kernels[1], since we would get things like... BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/rtmutex.c:659 in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 1, pid: 8, name: rcu_preempt Pid: 8, comm: rcu_preempt Not tainted Call Trace: [<ffffffff8106c8d0>] __might_sleep+0xd0/0xf0 [<ffffffff817d77b4>] rt_spin_lock+0x24/0x50 [<ffffffff8106fcf6>] __wake_up+0x36/0x70 [<ffffffff810c4542>] rcu_gp_kthread+0x4d2/0x680 [<ffffffff8105f910>] ? __init_waitqueue_head+0x50/0x50 [<ffffffff810c4070>] ? rcu_gp_fqs+0x80/0x80 [<ffffffff8105eabb>] kthread+0xdb/0xe0 [<ffffffff8106b912>] ? finish_task_switch+0x52/0x100 [<ffffffff817e0754>] kernel_thread_helper+0x4/0x10 [<ffffffff8105e9e0>] ? __init_kthread_worker+0x60/0x60 [<ffffffff817e0750>] ? gs_change+0xb/0xb ...and hence simple wait queues were deployed on RT out of necessity (as simple wait uses a raw lock), but mainline might as well take advantage of the more streamline support as well. [1] This is a carry forward of work from v3.10-rt; the original conversion was by Thomas on an earlier -rt version, and Sebastian extended it to additional post-3.10 added RCU waiters; here I've added a commit log and unified the RCU changes into one, and uprev'd it to match mainline RCU.

rcu: Parallelize and economize NOCB kthread wakeups An 80-CPU system with a context-switch-heavy workload can require so many NOCB kthread wakeups that the RCU grace-period kthreads spend several tens of percent of a CPU just awakening things. This clearly will not scale well: If you add enough CPUs, the RCU grace-period kthreads would get behind, increasing grace-period latency. To avoid this problem, this commit divides the NOCB kthreads into leaders and followers, where the grace-period kthreads awaken the leaders each of whom in turn awakens its followers. By default, the number of groups of kthreads is the square root of the number of CPUs, but this default may be overridden using the rcutree.rcu_nocb_leader_stride boot parameter. This reduces the number of wakeups done per grace period by the RCU grace-period kthread by the square root of the number of CPUs, but of course by shifting those wakeups to the leaders. In addition, because the leaders do grace periods on behalf of their respective followers, the number of wakeups of the followers decreases by up to a factor of two. Instead of being awakened once when new callbacks arrive and again at the end of the grace period, the followers are awakened only at the end of the grace period. For a numerical example, in a 4096-CPU system, the grace-period kthread would awaken 64 leaders, each of which would awaken its 63 followers at the end of the grace period. This compares favorably with the 79 wakeups for the grace-period kthread on an 80-CPU system. Reported-by: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

rcu: Make rcu_barrier() understand about missing rcuo kthreads Commit 35ce7f29a44a (rcu: Create rcuo kthreads only for onlined CPUs) avoids creating rcuo kthreads for CPUs that never come online. This fixes a bug in many instances of firmware: Instead of lying about their age, these systems instead lie about the number of CPUs that they have. Before commit 35ce7f29a44a, this could result in huge numbers of useless rcuo kthreads being created. It appears that experience indicates that I should have told the people suffering from this problem to fix their broken firmware, but I instead produced what turned out to be a partial fix. The missing piece supplied by this commit makes sure that rcu_barrier() knows not to post callbacks for no-CBs CPUs that have not yet come online, because otherwise rcu_barrier() will hang on systems having firmware that lies about the number of CPUs. It is tempting to simply have rcu_barrier() refuse to post a callback on any no-CBs CPU that does not have an rcuo kthread. This unfortunately does not work because rcu_barrier() is required to wait for all pending callbacks. It is therefore required to wait even for those callbacks that cannot possibly be invoked. Even if doing so hangs the system. Given that posting a callback to a no-CBs CPU that does not yet have an rcuo kthread can hang rcu_barrier(), It is tempting to report an error in this case. Unfortunately, this will result in false positives at boot time, when it is perfectly legal to post callbacks to the boot CPU before the scheduler has started, in other words, before it is legal to invoke rcu_barrier(). So this commit instead has rcu_barrier() avoid posting callbacks to CPUs having neither rcuo kthread nor pending callbacks, and has it complain bitterly if it finds CPUs having no rcuo kthread but some pending callbacks. And when rcu_barrier() does find CPUs having no rcuo kthread but pending callbacks, as noted earlier, it has no choice but to hang indefinitely.

Before commit 35ce7f29a44a, this could result in huge numbers of useless rcuo kthreads being created. It appears that experience indicates that I should have told the people suffering from this problem to fix their broken firmware, but I instead produced what turned out to be a partial fix. The missing piece supplied by this commit makes sure that rcu_barrier() knows not to post callbacks for no-CBs CPUs that have not yet come online, because otherwise rcu_barrier() will hang on systems having firmware that lies about the number of CPUs. It is tempting to simply have rcu_barrier() refuse to post a callback on any no-CBs CPU that does not have an rcuo kthread. This unfortunately does not work because rcu_barrier() is required to wait for all pending callbacks. It is therefore required to wait even for those callbacks that cannot possibly be invoked. Even if doing so hangs the system. Given that posting a callback to a no-CBs CPU that does not yet have an rcuo kthread can hang rcu_barrier(), It is tempting to report an error in this case. Unfortunately, this will result in false positives at boot time, when it is perfectly legal to post callbacks to the boot CPU before the scheduler has started, in other words, before it is legal to invoke rcu_barrier(). So this commit instead has rcu_barrier() avoid posting callbacks to CPUs having neither rcuo kthread nor pending callbacks, and has it complain bitterly if it finds CPUs having no rcuo kthread but some pending callbacks. And when rcu_barrier() does find CPUs having no rcuo kthread but pending callbacks, as noted earlier, it has no choice but to hang indefinitely.

The reason that call_rcu() needs to invoke the scheduler is to wake up the corresponding rcuo callback-offload kthread, which does the job of starting up a grace period and invoking the callbacks afterwards. One solution (championed on a related problem by Lai Jiangshan) is to simply defer the wakeup to some point where scheduler locks are no longer held. Since we don't want to unnecessarily incur the cost of such deferral, the task before us is threefold: 1. Determine when it is likely that a relevant scheduler lock is held. 2. Defer the wakeup in such cases. 3. Ensure that all deferred wakeups eventually happen, preferably sooner rather than later. We use irqs_disabled_flags() as a proxy for relevant scheduler locks being held. This works because the relevant locks are always acquired with interrupts disabled. We may defer more often than needed, but that is at least safe. The wakeup deferral is tracked via a new field in the per-CPU and per-RCU-flavor rcu_data structure, namely ->nocb_defer_wakeup. This flag is checked by the RCU core processing. The __rcu_pending() function now checks this flag, which causes rcu_check_callbacks() to initiate RCU core processing at each scheduling-clock interrupt where this flag is set. Of course this is not sufficient because scheduling-clock interrupts are often turned off (the things we used to be able to count on!). So the flags are also checked on entry to any state that RCU considers to be idle, which includes both NO_HZ_IDLE idle state and NO_HZ_FULL user-mode-execution state. This approach should allow call_rcu() to be invoked regardless of what locks you might be holding, the key word being "should". Reported-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

The reason that call_rcu() needs to invoke the scheduler is to wake up the corresponding rcuo callback-offload kthread, which does the job of starting up a grace period and invoking the callbacks afterwards. One solution (championed on a related problem by Lai Jiangshan) is to simply defer the wakeup to some point where scheduler locks are no longer held. Since we don't want to unnecessarily incur the cost of such deferral, the task before us is threefold: 1. Determine when it is likely that a relevant scheduler lock is held. 2. Defer the wakeup in such cases. 3. Ensure that all deferred wakeups eventually happen, preferably sooner rather than later. We use irqs_disabled_flags() as a proxy for relevant scheduler locks being held. This works because the relevant locks are always acquired with interrupts disabled. We may defer more often than needed, but that is at least safe. The wakeup deferral is tracked via a new field in the per-CPU and per-RCU-flavor rcu_data structure, namely ->nocb_defer_wakeup.

rcu: Parallelize and economize NOCB kthread wakeups An 80-CPU system with a context-switch-heavy workload can require so many NOCB kthread wakeups that the RCU grace-period kthreads spend several tens of percent of a CPU just awakening things. This clearly will not scale well: If you add enough CPUs, the RCU grace-period kthreads would get behind, increasing grace-period latency. To avoid this problem, this commit divides the NOCB kthreads into leaders and followers, where the grace-period kthreads awaken the leaders each of whom in turn awakens its followers. By default, the number of groups of kthreads is the square root of the number of CPUs, but this default may be overridden using the rcutree.rcu_nocb_leader_stride boot parameter. This reduces the number of wakeups done per grace period by the RCU grace-period kthread by the square root of the number of CPUs, but of course by shifting those wakeups to the leaders. In addition, because the leaders do grace periods on behalf of their respective followers, the number of wakeups of the followers decreases by up to a factor of two. Instead of being awakened once when new callbacks arrive and again at the end of the grace period, the followers are awakened only at the end of the grace period. For a numerical example, in a 4096-CPU system, the grace-period kthread would awaken 64 leaders, each of which would awaken its 63 followers at the end of the grace period. This compares favorably with the 79 wakeups for the grace-period kthread on an 80-CPU system. Reported-by: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

The reason that call_rcu() needs to invoke the scheduler is to wake up the corresponding rcuo callback-offload kthread, which does the job of starting up a grace period and invoking the callbacks afterwards. One solution (championed on a related problem by Lai Jiangshan) is to simply defer the wakeup to some point where scheduler locks are no longer held. Since we don't want to unnecessarily incur the cost of such deferral, the task before us is threefold: 1. Determine when it is likely that a relevant scheduler lock is held. 2. Defer the wakeup in such cases. 3. Ensure that all deferred wakeups eventually happen, preferably sooner rather than later. We use irqs_disabled_flags() as a proxy for relevant scheduler locks being held. This works because the relevant locks are always acquired with interrupts disabled. We may defer more often than needed, but that is at least safe. The wakeup deferral is tracked via a new field in the per-CPU and per-RCU-flavor rcu_data structure, namely ->nocb_defer_wakeup. This flag is checked by the RCU core processing. The __rcu_pending() function now checks this flag, which causes rcu_check_callbacks() to initiate RCU core processing at each scheduling-clock interrupt where this flag is set. Of course this is not sufficient because scheduling-clock interrupts are often turned off (the things we used to be able to count on!). So the flags are also checked on entry to any state that RCU considers to be idle, which includes both NO_HZ_IDLE idle state and NO_HZ_FULL user-mode-execution state. This approach should allow call_rcu() to be invoked regardless of what locks you might be holding, the key word being "should". Reported-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

rcu: Parallelize and economize NOCB kthread wakeups An 80-CPU system with a context-switch-heavy workload can require so many NOCB kthread wakeups that the RCU grace-period kthreads spend several tens of percent of a CPU just awakening things. This clearly will not scale well: If you add enough CPUs, the RCU grace-period kthreads would get behind, increasing grace-period latency. To avoid this problem, this commit divides the NOCB kthreads into leaders and followers, where the grace-period kthreads awaken the leaders each of whom in turn awakens its followers. By default, the number of groups of kthreads is the square root of the number of CPUs, but this default may be overridden using the rcutree.rcu_nocb_leader_stride boot parameter. This reduces the number of wakeups done per grace period by the RCU grace-period kthread by the square root of the number of CPUs, but of course by shifting those wakeups to the leaders. In addition, because the leaders do grace periods on behalf of their respective followers, the number of wakeups of the followers decreases by up to a factor of two. Instead of being awakened once when new callbacks arrive and again at the end of the grace period, the followers are awakened only at the end of the grace period. For a numerical example, in a 4096-CPU system, the grace-period kthread would awaken 64 leaders, each of which would awaken its 63 followers at the end of the grace period. This compares favorably with the 79 wakeups for the grace-period kthread on an 80-CPU system. Reported-by: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

The reason that call_rcu() needs to invoke the scheduler is to wake up the corresponding rcuo callback-offload kthread, which does the job of starting up a grace period and invoking the callbacks afterwards. One solution (championed on a related problem by Lai Jiangshan) is to simply defer the wakeup to some point where scheduler locks are no longer held. Since we don't want to unnecessarily incur the cost of such deferral, the task before us is threefold: 1. Determine when it is likely that a relevant scheduler lock is held. 2. Defer the wakeup in such cases. 3. Ensure that all deferred wakeups eventually happen, preferably sooner rather than later. We use irqs_disabled_flags() as a proxy for relevant scheduler locks being held. This works because the relevant locks are always acquired with interrupts disabled. We may defer more often than needed, but that is at least safe. The wakeup deferral is tracked via a new field in the per-CPU and per-RCU-flavor rcu_data structure, namely ->nocb_defer_wakeup. This flag is checked by the RCU core processing. The __rcu_pending() function now checks this flag, which causes rcu_check_callbacks() to initiate RCU core processing at each scheduling-clock interrupt where this flag is set. Of course this is not sufficient because scheduling-clock interrupts are often turned off (the things we used to be able to count on!). So the flags are also checked on entry to any state that RCU considers to be idle, which includes both NO_HZ_IDLE idle state and NO_HZ_FULL user-mode-execution state. This approach should allow call_rcu() to be invoked regardless of what locks you might be holding, the key word being "should". Reported-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

rcu: Make callers awaken grace-period kthread The rcu_start_gp_advanced() function currently uses irq_work_queue() to defer wakeups of the RCU grace-period kthread. This deferring is necessary to avoid RCU-scheduler deadlocks involving the rcu_node structure's lock, meaning that RCU cannot call any of the scheduler's wake-up functions while holding one of these locks. Unfortunately, the second and subsequent calls to irq_work_queue() are ignored, and the first call will be ignored (aside from queuing the work item) if the scheduler-clock tick is turned off. This is OK for many uses, especially those where irq_work_queue() is called from an interrupt or softirq handler, because in those cases the scheduler-clock-tick state will be re-evaluated, which will turn the scheduler-clock tick back on. On the next tick, any deferred work will then be processed. However, this strategy does not always work for RCU, which can be invoked at process level from idle CPUs. In this case, the tick might never be turned back on, indefinitely defering a grace-period start request. Note that the RCU CPU stall detector cannot see this condition, because there is no RCU grace period in progress. Therefore, we can (and do!) see long tens-of-seconds stalls in grace-period handling. In theory, we could see a full grace-period hang, but rcutorture testing to date has seen only the tens-of-seconds stalls. Event tracing demonstrates that irq_work_queue() is being called repeatedly to no effect during these stalls: The "newreq" event appears repeatedly from a task that is not one of the grace-period kthreads. In theory, irq_work_queue() might be fixed to avoid this sort of issue, but RCU's requirements are unusual and it is quite straightforward to pass wake-up responsibility up through RCU's call chain, so that the wakeup happens when the offending locks are released. This commit therefore makes this change. The rcu_start_gp_advanced(), rcu_start_future_gp(), rcu_accelerate_cbs(), rcu_advance_cbs(), __note_gp_changes(), and rcu_start_gp() functions now return a boolean which indicates when a wake-up is needed. A new rcu_gp_kthread_wake() does the wakeup when it is necessary and safe to do so: No self-wakes, no wake-ups if the ->gp_flags field indicates there is no need (as in someone else did the wake-up before we got around to it), and no wake-ups before the grace-period kthread has been created.

rcu: Parallelize and economize NOCB kthread wakeups An 80-CPU system with a context-switch-heavy workload can require so many NOCB kthread wakeups that the RCU grace-period kthreads spend several tens of percent of a CPU just awakening things. This clearly will not scale well: If you add enough CPUs, the RCU grace-period kthreads would get behind, increasing grace-period latency. To avoid this problem, this commit divides the NOCB kthreads into leaders and followers, where the grace-period kthreads awaken the leaders each of whom in turn awakens its followers. By default, the number of groups of kthreads is the square root of the number of CPUs, but this default may be overridden using the rcutree.rcu_nocb_leader_stride boot parameter. This reduces the number of wakeups done per grace period by the RCU grace-period kthread by the square root of the number of CPUs, but of course by shifting those wakeups to the leaders. In addition, because the leaders do grace periods on behalf of their respective followers, the number of wakeups of the followers decreases by up to a factor of two. Instead of being awakened once when new callbacks arrive and again at the end of the grace period, the followers are awakened only at the end of the grace period. For a numerical example, in a 4096-CPU system, the grace-period kthread would awaken 64 leaders, each of which would awaken its 63 followers at the end of the grace period. This compares favorably with the 79 wakeups for the grace-period kthread on an 80-CPU system. Reported-by: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

This reduces the number of wakeups done per grace period by the RCU grace-period kthread by the square root of the number of CPUs, but of course by shifting those wakeups to the leaders. In addition, because the leaders do grace periods on behalf of their respective followers, the number of wakeups of the followers decreases by up to a factor of two. Instead of being awakened once when new callbacks arrive and again at the end of the grace period, the followers are awakened only at the end of the grace period. For a numerical example, in a 4096-CPU system, the grace-period kthread would awaken 64 leaders, each of which would awaken its 63 followers at the end of the grace period. This compares favorably with the 79 wakeups for the grace-period kthread on an 80-CPU system. Reported-by: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

rcu: Parallelize and economize NOCB kthread wakeups An 80-CPU system with a context-switch-heavy workload can require so many NOCB kthread wakeups that the RCU grace-period kthreads spend several tens of percent of a CPU just awakening things. This clearly will not scale well: If you add enough CPUs, the RCU grace-period kthreads would get behind, increasing grace-period latency. To avoid this problem, this commit divides the NOCB kthreads into leaders and followers, where the grace-period kthreads awaken the leaders each of whom in turn awakens its followers. By default, the number of groups of kthreads is the square root of the number of CPUs, but this default may be overridden using the rcutree.rcu_nocb_leader_stride boot parameter.

rcu: Rename cond_resched_rcu_qs() to cond_resched_tasks_rcu_qs() Commit e31d28b6ab8f ("trace: Eliminate cond_resched_rcu_qs() in favor of cond_resched()") substituted cond_resched() for the earlier call to cond_resched_rcu_qs(). However, the new-age cond_resched() does not do anything to help RCU-tasks grace periods because (1) RCU-tasks is only enabled when CONFIG_PREEMPT=y and (2) cond_resched() is a complete no-op when preemption is enabled. This situation results in hangs when running the trace benchmarks. A number of potential fixes were discussed on LKML (https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180224151240.0d63a059@vmware.local.home), including making cond_resched() not be a no-op; making cond_resched() not be a no-op, but only when running tracing benchmarks; reverting the aforementioned commit (which works because cond_resched_rcu_qs() does provide an RCU-tasks quiescent state; and adding a call to the scheduler/RCU rcu_note_voluntary_context_switch() function. All were deemed unsatisfactory, either due to added cond_resched() overhead or due to magic functions inviting cargo culting. This commit renames cond_resched_rcu_qs() to cond_resched_tasks_rcu_qs(), which provides a clear hint as to what this function is doing and why and where it should be used, and then replaces the call to cond_resched() with cond_resched_tasks_rcu_qs() in the trace benchmark's benchmark_event_kthread() function.

The reason that call_rcu() needs to invoke the scheduler is to wake up the corresponding rcuo callback-offload kthread, which does the job of starting up a grace period and invoking the callbacks afterwards. One solution (championed on a related problem by Lai Jiangshan) is to simply defer the wakeup to some point where scheduler locks are no longer held. Since we don't want to unnecessarily incur the cost of such deferral, the task before us is threefold: 1. Determine when it is likely that a relevant scheduler lock is held. 2. Defer the wakeup in such cases. 3. Ensure that all deferred wakeups eventually happen, preferably sooner rather than later. We use irqs_disabled_flags() as a proxy for relevant scheduler locks being held. This works because the relevant locks are always acquired with interrupts disabled. We may defer more often than needed, but that is at least safe. The wakeup deferral is tracked via a new field in the per-CPU and per-RCU-flavor rcu_data structure, namely ->nocb_defer_wakeup. This flag is checked by the RCU core processing. The __rcu_pending() function now checks this flag, which causes rcu_check_callbacks() to initiate RCU core processing at each scheduling-clock interrupt where this flag is set. Of course this is not sufficient because scheduling-clock interrupts are often turned off (the things we used to be able to count on!). So the flags are also checked on entry to any state that RCU considers to be idle, which includes both NO_HZ_IDLE idle state and NO_HZ_FULL user-mode-execution state. This approach should allow call_rcu() to be invoked regardless of what locks you might be holding, the key word being "should". Reported-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

The reason that call_rcu() needs to invoke the scheduler is to wake up the corresponding rcuo callback-offload kthread, which does the job of starting up a grace period and invoking the callbacks afterwards. One solution (championed on a related problem by Lai Jiangshan) is to simply defer the wakeup to some point where scheduler locks are no longer held. Since we don't want to unnecessarily incur the cost of such deferral, the task before us is threefold: 1. Determine when it is likely that a relevant scheduler lock is held. 2. Defer the wakeup in such cases. 3. Ensure that all deferred wakeups eventually happen, preferably sooner rather than later. We use irqs_disabled_flags() as a proxy for relevant scheduler locks being held. This works because the relevant locks are always acquired with interrupts disabled. We may defer more often than needed, but that is at least safe. The wakeup deferral is tracked via a new field in the per-CPU and per-RCU-flavor rcu_data structure, namely ->nocb_defer_wakeup. This flag is checked by the RCU core processing. The __rcu_pending() function now checks this flag, which causes rcu_check_callbacks() to initiate RCU core processing at each scheduling-clock interrupt where this flag is set. Of course this is not sufficient because scheduling-clock interrupts are often turned off (the things we used to be able to count on!). So the flags are also checked on entry to any state that RCU considers to be idle, which includes both NO_HZ_IDLE idle state and NO_HZ_FULL user-mode-execution state. This approach should allow call_rcu() to be invoked regardless of what locks you might be holding, the key word being "should". Reported-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

The reason that call_rcu() needs to invoke the scheduler is to wake up the corresponding rcuo callback-offload kthread, which does the job of starting up a grace period and invoking the callbacks afterwards. One solution (championed on a related problem by Lai Jiangshan) is to simply defer the wakeup to some point where scheduler locks are no longer held. Since we don't want to unnecessarily incur the cost of such deferral, the task before us is threefold: 1. Determine when it is likely that a relevant scheduler lock is held. 2. Defer the wakeup in such cases. 3. Ensure that all deferred wakeups eventually happen, preferably sooner rather than later. We use irqs_disabled_flags() as a proxy for relevant scheduler locks being held. This works because the relevant locks are always acquired with interrupts disabled. We may defer more often than needed, but that is at least safe. The wakeup deferral is tracked via a new field in the per-CPU and per-RCU-flavor rcu_data structure, namely ->nocb_defer_wakeup. This flag is checked by the RCU core processing. The __rcu_pending() function now checks this flag, which causes rcu_check_callbacks() to initiate RCU core processing at each scheduling-clock interrupt where this flag is set. Of course this is not sufficient because scheduling-clock interrupts are often turned off (the things we used to be able to count on!). So the flags are also checked on entry to any state that RCU considers to be idle, which includes both NO_HZ_IDLE idle state and NO_HZ_FULL user-mode-execution state. This approach should allow call_rcu() to be invoked regardless of what locks you might be holding, the key word being "should". Reported-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

rcu: Use simple wait queues where possible in rcutree As of commit dae6e64d2bcfd ("rcu: Introduce proper blocking to no-CBs kthreads GP waits") the RCU subsystem started making use of wait queues. Here we convert all additions of RCU wait queues to use simple wait queues, since they don't need the extra overhead of the full wait queue features. Originally this was done for RT kernels[1], since we would get things like... BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/rtmutex.c:659 in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 1, pid: 8, name: rcu_preempt Pid: 8, comm: rcu_preempt Not tainted Call Trace: [<ffffffff8106c8d0>] __might_sleep+0xd0/0xf0 [<ffffffff817d77b4>] rt_spin_lock+0x24/0x50 [<ffffffff8106fcf6>] __wake_up+0x36/0x70 [<ffffffff810c4542>] rcu_gp_kthread+0x4d2/0x680 [<ffffffff8105f910>] ? __init_waitqueue_head+0x50/0x50 [<ffffffff810c4070>] ? rcu_gp_fqs+0x80/0x80 [<ffffffff8105eabb>] kthread+0xdb/0xe0 [<ffffffff8106b912>] ? finish_task_switch+0x52/0x100 [<ffffffff817e0754>] kernel_thread_helper+0x4/0x10 [<ffffffff8105e9e0>] ? __init_kthread_worker+0x60/0x60 [<ffffffff817e0750>] ? gs_change+0xb/0xb ...and hence simple wait queues were deployed on RT out of necessity (as simple wait uses a raw lock), but mainline might as well take advantage of the more streamline support as well. [1] This is a carry forward of work from v3.10-rt; the original conversion was by Thomas on an earlier -rt version, and Sebastian extended it to additional post-3.10 added RCU waiters; here I've added a commit log and unified the RCU changes into one, and uprev'd it to match mainline RCU.

rcu: Parallelize and economize NOCB kthread wakeups An 80-CPU system with a context-switch-heavy workload can require so many NOCB kthread wakeups that the RCU grace-period kthreads spend several tens of percent of a CPU just awakening things. This clearly will not scale well: If you add enough CPUs, the RCU grace-period kthreads would get behind, increasing grace-period latency. To avoid this problem, this commit divides the NOCB kthreads into leaders and followers, where the grace-period kthreads awaken the leaders each of whom in turn awakens its followers. By default, the number of groups of kthreads is the square root of the number of CPUs, but this default may be overridden using the rcutree.rcu_nocb_leader_stride boot parameter. This reduces the number of wakeups done per grace period by the RCU grace-period kthread by the square root of the number of CPUs, but of course by shifting those wakeups to the leaders. In addition, because the leaders do grace periods on behalf of their respective followers, the number of wakeups of the followers decreases by up to a factor of two. Instead of being awakened once when new callbacks arrive and again at the end of the grace period, the followers are awakened only at the end of the grace period. For a numerical example, in a 4096-CPU system, the grace-period kthread would awaken 64 leaders, each of which would awaken its 63 followers at the end of the grace period. This compares favorably with the 79 wakeups for the grace-period kthread on an 80-CPU system. Reported-by: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

This reduces the number of wakeups done per grace period by the RCU grace-period kthread by the square root of the number of CPUs, but of course by shifting those wakeups to the leaders. In addition, because the leaders do grace periods on behalf of their respective followers, the number of wakeups of the followers decreases by up to a factor of two. Instead of being awakened once when new callbacks arrive and again at the end of the grace period, the followers are awakened only at the end of the grace period. For a numerical example, in a 4096-CPU system, the grace-period kthread would awaken 64 leaders, each of which would awaken its 63 followers at the end of the grace period. This compares favorably with the 79 wakeups for the grace-period kthread on an 80-CPU system. Reported-by: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

rcu: Parallelize and economize NOCB kthread wakeups An 80-CPU system with a context-switch-heavy workload can require so many NOCB kthread wakeups that the RCU grace-period kthreads spend several tens of percent of a CPU just awakening things. This clearly will not scale well: If you add enough CPUs, the RCU grace-period kthreads would get behind, increasing grace-period latency. To avoid this problem, this commit divides the NOCB kthreads into leaders and followers, where the grace-period kthreads awaken the leaders each of whom in turn awakens its followers. By default, the number of groups of kthreads is the square root of the number of CPUs, but this default may be overridden using the rcutree.rcu_nocb_leader_stride boot parameter.

rcu: Make rcu_barrier() understand about missing rcuo kthreads Commit 35ce7f29a44a (rcu: Create rcuo kthreads only for onlined CPUs) avoids creating rcuo kthreads for CPUs that never come online. This fixes a bug in many instances of firmware: Instead of lying about their age, these systems instead lie about the number of CPUs that they have. Before commit 35ce7f29a44a, this could result in huge numbers of useless rcuo kthreads being created. It appears that experience indicates that I should have told the people suffering from this problem to fix their broken firmware, but I instead produced what turned out to be a partial fix. The missing piece supplied by this commit makes sure that rcu_barrier() knows not to post callbacks for no-CBs CPUs that have not yet come online, because otherwise rcu_barrier() will hang on systems having firmware that lies about the number of CPUs. It is tempting to simply have rcu_barrier() refuse to post a callback on any no-CBs CPU that does not have an rcuo kthread. This unfortunately does not work because rcu_barrier() is required to wait for all pending callbacks. It is therefore required to wait even for those callbacks that cannot possibly be invoked. Even if doing so hangs the system. Given that posting a callback to a no-CBs CPU that does not yet have an rcuo kthread can hang rcu_barrier(), It is tempting to report an error in this case. Unfortunately, this will result in false positives at boot time, when it is perfectly legal to post callbacks to the boot CPU before the scheduler has started, in other words, before it is legal to invoke rcu_barrier(). So this commit instead has rcu_barrier() avoid posting callbacks to CPUs having neither rcuo kthread nor pending callbacks, and has it complain bitterly if it finds CPUs having no rcuo kthread but some pending callbacks. And when rcu_barrier() does find CPUs having no rcuo kthread but pending callbacks, as noted earlier, it has no choice but to hang indefinitely.

rcu: Do not call rcu_nocb_gp_cleanup() while holding rnp->lock rcu_nocb_gp_cleanup() is called while holding rnp->lock. Currently, this is okay because the wake_up_all() in rcu_nocb_gp_cleanup() will not enable the IRQs. lockdep is happy. By switching over using swait this is not true anymore. swake_up_all() enables the IRQs while processing the waiters. __do_softirq() can now run and will eventually call rcu_process_callbacks() which wants to grap nrp->lock. Let's move the rcu_nocb_gp_cleanup() call outside the lock before we switch over to swait.

The reason that call_rcu() needs to invoke the scheduler is to wake up the corresponding rcuo callback-offload kthread, which does the job of starting up a grace period and invoking the callbacks afterwards. One solution (championed on a related problem by Lai Jiangshan) is to simply defer the wakeup to some point where scheduler locks are no longer held. Since we don't want to unnecessarily incur the cost of such deferral, the task before us is threefold: 1. Determine when it is likely that a relevant scheduler lock is held. 2. Defer the wakeup in such cases. 3. Ensure that all deferred wakeups eventually happen, preferably sooner rather than later. We use irqs_disabled_flags() as a proxy for relevant scheduler locks being held. This works because the relevant locks are always acquired with interrupts disabled. We may defer more often than needed, but that is at least safe. The wakeup deferral is tracked via a new field in the per-CPU and per-RCU-flavor rcu_data structure, namely ->nocb_defer_wakeup. This flag is checked by the RCU core processing. The __rcu_pending() function now checks this flag, which causes rcu_check_callbacks() to initiate RCU core processing at each scheduling-clock interrupt where this flag is set. Of course this is not sufficient because scheduling-clock interrupts are often turned off (the things we used to be able to count on!). So the flags are also checked on entry to any state that RCU considers to be idle, which includes both NO_HZ_IDLE idle state and NO_HZ_FULL user-mode-execution state. This approach should allow call_rcu() to be invoked regardless of what locks you might be holding, the key word being "should". Reported-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

The reason that call_rcu() needs to invoke the scheduler is to wake up the corresponding rcuo callback-offload kthread, which does the job of starting up a grace period and invoking the callbacks afterwards. One solution (championed on a related problem by Lai Jiangshan) is to simply defer the wakeup to some point where scheduler locks are no longer held. Since we don't want to unnecessarily incur the cost of such deferral, the task before us is threefold: 1. Determine when it is likely that a relevant scheduler lock is held. 2. Defer the wakeup in such cases. 3. Ensure that all deferred wakeups eventually happen, preferably sooner rather than later. We use irqs_disabled_flags() as a proxy for relevant scheduler locks being held. This works because the relevant locks are always acquired with interrupts disabled. We may defer more often than needed, but that is at least safe. The wakeup deferral is tracked via a new field in the per-CPU and per-RCU-flavor rcu_data structure, namely ->nocb_defer_wakeup. This flag is checked by the RCU core processing. The __rcu_pending() function now checks this flag, which causes rcu_check_callbacks() to initiate RCU core processing at each scheduling-clock interrupt where this flag is set. Of course this is not sufficient because scheduling-clock interrupts are often turned off (the things we used to be able to count on!). So the flags are also checked on entry to any state that RCU considers to be idle, which includes both NO_HZ_IDLE idle state and NO_HZ_FULL user-mode-execution state. This approach should allow call_rcu() to be invoked regardless of what locks you might be holding, the key word being "should". Reported-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

rcu: Kick adaptive-ticks CPUs that are holding up RCU grace periods Adaptive-ticks CPUs inform RCU when they enter kernel mode, but they do not necessarily turn the scheduler-clock tick back on. This state of affairs could result in RCU waiting on an adaptive-ticks CPU running for an extended period in kernel mode. Such a CPU will never run the RCU state machine, and could therefore indefinitely extend the RCU state machine, sooner or later resulting in an OOM condition. This patch, inspired by an earlier patch by Frederic Weisbecker, therefore causes RCU's force-quiescent-state processing to check for this condition and to send an IPI to CPUs that remain in that state for too long. "Too long" currently means about three jiffies by default, which is quite some time for a CPU to remain in the kernel without blocking. The rcu_tree.jiffies_till_first_fqs and rcutree.jiffies_till_next_fqs sysfs variables may be used to tune "too long" if needed.
