Peter Zijlstra b92b8b35a2 locking/arch: Rename set_mb() to smp_store_mb()
Since set_mb() is really about an smp_mb() -- not a IO/DMA barrier
like mb() rename it to match the recent smp_load_acquire() and
smp_store_release().

Jason Low 316c1608d1 sched, timer: Convert usages of ACCESS_ONCE() in the scheduler to READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE()
ACCESS_ONCE doesn't work reliably on non-scalar types. This patch removes
the rest of the existing usages of ACCESS_ONCE() in the scheduler, and use
the new READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() APIs as appropriate.

Peter Zijlstra cb6538e740 sched/wait: Fix a kthread race with wait_woken()
There is a race between kthread_stop() and the new wait_woken() that
can result in a lack of progress.

CPU 0                                    | CPU 1
                                         |
rfcomm_run()                             | kthread_stop()
  ...                                    |
  if (!test_bit(KTHREAD_SHOULD_STOP))    |
                                         |   set_bit(KTHREAD_SHOULD_STOP)
                                         |   wake_up_process()
    wait_woken()                         |   wait_for_completion()
      set_current_state(INTERRUPTIBLE)   |
      if (!WQ_FLAG_WOKEN)                |
        schedule_timeout()               |
                                         |

After which both tasks will wait.. forever.

Fix this by having wait_woken() check for kthread_should_stop() but
only for kthreads (obviously).

Peter Zijlstra 61ada528de sched/wait: Provide infrastructure to deal with nested blocking
There are a few places that call blocking primitives from wait loops,
provide infrastructure to support this without the typical
task_struct::state collision.

We record the wakeup in wait_queue_t::flags which leaves
task_struct::state free to be used by others.

NeilBrown cbbce82209 SCHED: add some "wait..on_bit...timeout()" interfaces.
In commit c1221321b7
   sched: Allow wait_on_bit_action() functions to support a timeout

I suggested that a "wait_on_bit_timeout()" interface would not meet my
need.  This isn't true - I was just over-engineering.

Including a 'private' field in wait_bit_key instead of a focused
"timeout" field was just premature generalization.  If some other
use is ever found, it can be generalized or added later.

So this patch renames "private" to "timeout" with a meaning "stop
waiting when "jiffies" reaches or passes "timeout",
and adds two of the many possible wait..bit..timeout() interfaces:

wait_on_page_bit_killable_timeout(), which is the one I want to use,
and out_of_line_wait_on_bit_timeout() which is a reasonably general
example.  Others can be added as needed.

NeilBrown c1221321b7 sched: Allow wait_on_bit_action() functions to support a timeout
It is currently not possible for various wait_on_bit functions
to implement a timeout.

While the "action" function that is called to do the waiting
could certainly use schedule_timeout(), there is no way to carry
forward the remaining timeout after a false wake-up.
As false-wakeups a clearly possible at least due to possible
hash collisions in bit_waitqueue(), this is a real problem.

The 'action' function is currently passed a pointer to the word
containing the bit being waited on.  No current action functions
use this pointer.  So changing it to something else will be a
little noisy but will have no immediate effect.

This patch changes the 'action' function to take a pointer to
the "struct wait_bit_key", which contains a pointer to the word
containing the bit so nothing is really lost.

It also adds a 'private' field to "struct wait_bit_key", which
is initialized to zero.

An action function can now implement a timeout with something
like

static int timed_out_waiter(struct wait_bit_key *key)
{
	unsigned long waited;
	if (key->private == 0) {
		key->private = jiffies;
		if (key->private == 0)
			key->private -= 1;
	}
	waited = jiffies - key->private;
	if (waited > 10 * HZ)
		return -EAGAIN;
	schedule_timeout(waited - 10 * HZ);
	return 0;
}

If any other need for context in a waiter were found it would be
easy to use ->private for some other purpose, or even extend
"struct wait_bit_key".

My particular need is to support timeouts in nfs_release_page()
to avoid deadlocks with loopback mounted NFS.

While wait_on_bit_timeout() would be a cleaner interface, it
will not meet my need.  I need the timeout to be sensitive to
the state of the connection with the server, which could change.
 So I need to use an 'action' interface.

NeilBrown 743162013d sched: Remove proliferation of wait_on_bit() action functions
The current "wait_on_bit" interface requires an 'action'
function to be provided which does the actual waiting.
There are over 20 such functions, many of them identical.
Most cases can be satisfied by one of just two functions, one
which uses io_schedule() and one which just uses schedule().

So:
 Rename wait_on_bit and        wait_on_bit_lock to
        wait_on_bit_action and wait_on_bit_lock_action
 to make it explicit that they need an action function.

 Introduce new wait_on_bit{,_lock} and wait_on_bit{,_lock}_io
 which are *not* given an action function but implicitly use
 a standard one.
 The decision to error-out if a signal is pending is now made
 based on the 'mode' argument rather than being encoded in the action
 function.

 All instances of the old wait_on_bit and wait_on_bit_lock which
 can use the new version have been changed accordingly and their
 action functions have been discarded.
 wait_on_bit{_lock} does not return any specific error code in the
 event of a signal so the caller must check for non-zero and
 interpolate their own error code as appropriate.

The wait_on_bit() call in __fscache_wait_on_invalidate() was
ambiguous as it specified TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE but used
fscache_wait_bit_interruptible as an action function.
David Howells confirms this should be uniformly
"uninterruptible"

The main remaining user of wait_on_bit{,_lock}_action is NFS
which needs to use a freezer-aware schedule() call.

A comment in fs/gfs2/glock.c notes that having multiple 'action'
functions is useful as they display differently in the 'wchan'
field of 'ps'. (and /proc/$PID/wchan).
As the new bit_wait{,_io} functions are tagged "__sched", they
will not show up at all, but something higher in the stack.  So
the distinction will still be visible, only with different
function names (gds2_glock_wait versus gfs2_glock_dq_wait in the
gfs2/glock.c case).

Since first version of this patch (against 3.15) two new action
functions appeared, on in NFS and one in CIFS.  CIFS also now
uses an action function that makes the same freezer aware
schedule call as NFS.
