than the armed expiry time. This allows to use a single timer for
multiple timeout requirements w/o caring about the first expiry
time at the call site.

- A large number of timer setup conversions from Kees which got

For several reasons, it is desirable to use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() in
preference to ACCESS_ONCE(), and new code is expected to use one of the
former. So far, there's been no reason to change most existing uses of
ACCESS_ONCE(), as these aren't currently harmful.
However, for some features it is necessary to instrument reads and
writes separately, which is not possible with ACCESS_ONCE(). This
distinction is critical to correct operation.
It's possible to transform the bulk of kernel code using the Coccinelle
script below. However, this doesn't handle comments, leaving references
to ACCESS_ONCE() instances which have been removed. As a preparatory
step, this patch converts the workqueue code and comments to use
{READ,WRITE}_ONCE() consistently.

, which will cause a irq inversion deadlock if the above lock scenario
happens.
The root cause of this safe -> unsafe lock order is the
mutex_unlock(pool->manager_arb) in manage_workers() with pool->lock
held.
Unlocking mutex while holding an irq spinlock was never safe and this
problem has been around forever but it never got noticed because the
only time the mutex is usually trylocked while holding irqlock making
actual failures very unlikely and lockdep annotation missed the
condition until the recent b9c16a0e1f ("locking/mutex: Fix
lockdep_assert_held() fail").
Using mutex for pool->manager_arb has always been a bit of stretch.
It primarily is an mechanism to arbitrate managership between workers
which can easily be done with a pool flag. The only reason it became
a mutex is that pool destruction path wants to exclude parallel
managing operations.
This patch replaces the mutex with a new pool flag POOL_MANAGER_ACTIVE
and make the destruction path wait for the current manager on a wait
queue.

suggested by Boqun.

The new completion/crossrelease annotations interact unfavourable with
the extant flush_work()/flush_workqueue() annotations.
The problem is that when a single work class does:
wait_for_completion(&C)
and
complete(&C)
in different executions, we'll build dependencies like:
lock_map_acquire(W)
complete_acquire(C)
and
lock_map_acquire(W)
complete_release(C)
which results in the dependency chain: W->C->W, which lockdep thinks
spells deadlock, even though there is no deadlock potential since
works are ran concurrently.
One possibility would be to change the work 'lock' to recursive-read,
but that would mean hitting a lockdep limitation on recursive locks.
Also, unconditinoally switching to recursive-read here would fail to
detect the actual deadlock on single-threaded workqueues, which do
have a problem with this.
For now, forcefully disregard these locks for crossrelease.

The flush_work() annotation as introduced by commit:
e159489baa ("workqueue: relax lockdep annotation on flush_work()")
hits on the lockdep problem with recursive read locks.
The situation as described is:
Work W1: Work W2: Task:
ARR(Q) ARR(Q) flush_workqueue(Q)
A(W1) A(W2) A(Q)
flush_work(W2) R(Q)
A(W2)
R(W2)
if (special)
A(Q)
else
ARR(Q)
R(Q)
where: A - acquire, ARR - acquire-read-recursive, R - release.
Where under 'special' conditions we want to trigger a lock recursion
deadlock, but otherwise allow the flush_work(). The allowing is done
by using recursive read locks (ARR), but lockdep is broken for
recursive stuff.
However, there appears to be no need to acquire the lock if we're not
'special', so if we remove the 'else' clause things become much
simpler and no longer need the recursion thing at all.

With the new lockdep crossrelease feature, which checks completions usage,
a false positive is reported in the workqueue code:
> Worker A : acquired of wfc.work -> wait for cpu_hotplug_lock to be released
> Task B : acquired of cpu_hotplug_lock -> wait for lock#3 to be released
> Task C : acquired of lock#3 -> wait for completion of barr->done
> (Task C is in lru_add_drain_all_cpuslocked())
> Worker D : wait for wfc.work to be released -> will complete barr->done
Such a dead lock can not happen because Task C's barr->done and Worker D's
barr->done can not be the same instance.
The reason of this false positive is we initialize all wq_barrier::done
at insert_wq_barrier() via init_completion(), which makes them belong to
the same lock class, therefore, impossible circles are reported.
To fix this, explicitly initialize the lockdep map for wq_barrier::done
in insert_wq_barrier(), so that the lock class key of wq_barrier::done
is a subkey of the corresponding work_struct, as a result we won't build
a dependency between a wq_barrier with a unrelated work, and we can
differ wq barriers based on the related works, so the false positive
above is avoided.
Also define the empty lockdep_init_map_crosslock() for !CROSSRELEASE
to make the code simple and away from unnecessary #ifdefs.

Lockdep is a runtime locking correctness validator that detects and
reports a deadlock or its possibility by checking dependencies between
locks. It's useful since it does not report just an actual deadlock but
also the possibility of a deadlock that has not actually happened yet.
That enables problems to be fixed before they affect real systems.
However, this facility is only applicable to typical locks, such as
spinlocks and mutexes, which are normally released within the context in
which they were acquired. However, synchronization primitives like page
locks or completions, which are allowed to be released in any context,
also create dependencies and can cause a deadlock.
So lockdep should track these locks to do a better job. The 'crossrelease'
implementation makes these primitives also be tracked.

There is an underlying assumption/trade-off in many layers of the Linux
system that CPU <-> node mapping is static. This is despite the presence
of features like NUMA and 'hotplug' that support the dynamic addition/
removal of fundamental system resources like CPUs and memory. PowerPC
systems, however, do provide extensive features for the dynamic change
of resources available to a system.
Currently, there is little or no synchronization protection around the
updating of the CPU <-> node mapping, and the export/update of this
information for other layers / modules. In systems which can change
this mapping during 'hotplug', like PowerPC, the information is changing
underneath all layers that might reference it.
This patch attempts to ensure that a valid, usable cpumask attribute
is used by the workqueue infrastructure when setting up new resource
pools. It prevents a crash that has been observed when an 'empty'
cpumask is passed along to the worker/task scheduling code. It is
intended as a temporary workaround until a more fundamental review and
correction of the issue can be done.

Fixes: 5c0338c687 ("workqueue: restore WQ_UNBOUND/max_active==1 to be ordered")
The combination of WQ_UNBOUND and max_active == 1 used to imply
ordered execution. After NUMA affinity 4c16bd327c ("workqueue:
implement NUMA affinity for unbound workqueues"), this is no longer
true due to per-node worker pools.
While the right way to create an ordered workqueue is
alloc_ordered_workqueue(), the documentation has been misleading for a
long time and people do use WQ_UNBOUND and max_active == 1 for ordered
workqueues which can lead to subtle bugs which are very difficult to
trigger.
It's unlikely that we'd see noticeable performance impact by enforcing
ordering on WQ_UNBOUND / max_active == 1 workqueues. Let's
automatically set __WQ_ORDERED for those workqueues.

Rename:
wait_queue_t => wait_queue_entry_t
'wait_queue_t' was always a slight misnomer: its name implies that it's a "queue",
but in reality it's a queue *entry*. The 'real' queue is the wait queue head,
which had to carry the name.
Start sorting this out by renaming it to 'wait_queue_entry_t'.
This also allows the real structure name 'struct __wait_queue' to
lose its double underscore and become 'struct wait_queue_entry',
which is the more canonical nomenclature for such data types.

While splitting up workqueue initialization into two parts,
ac8f73400782 ("workqueue: make workqueue available early during boot")
put wq_numa_init() into workqueue_init_early(). Unfortunately, on
some archs including power and arm64, cpu to node mapping isn't yet
established by the time the early init is called leading to incorrect
NUMA initialization and subsequently the following oops due to zero
cpumask on node-specific unbound pools.

Fix it by moving wq_numa_init() to workqueue_init(). As this means
that the early intialization may not have full NUMA info for per-cpu
pools and ignores NUMA affinity for unbound pools, fix them up from
workqueue_init() after wq_numa_init().

Patch series "kthread: Kthread worker API improvements"
The intention of this patchset is to make it easier to manipulate and
maintain kthreads. Especially, I want to replace all the custom main
cycles with a generic one. Also I want to make the kthreads sleep in a
consistent state in a common place when there is no work.
This patch (of 11):
A good practice is to prefix the names of functions by the name of the
subsystem.
This patch fixes the name of probe_kthread_data(). The other wrong
functions names are part of the kthread worker API and will be fixed
separately.

Workqueue is currently initialized in an early init call; however,
there are cases where early boot code has to be split and reordered to
come after workqueue initialization or the same code path which makes
use of workqueues is used both before workqueue initailization and
after. The latter cases have to gate workqueue usages with
keventd_up() tests, which is nasty and easy to get wrong.
Workqueue usages have become widespread and it'd be a lot more
convenient if it can be used very early from boot. This patch splits
workqueue initialization into two steps. workqueue_init_early() which
sets up the basic data structures so that workqueues can be created
and work items queued, and workqueue_init() which actually brings up
workqueues online and starts executing queued work items. The former
step can be done very early during boot once memory allocation,
cpumasks and idr are initialized. The latter right after kthreads
become available.
This allows work item queueing and canceling from very early boot
which is what most of these use cases want.
* As systemd_wq being initialized doesn't indicate that workqueue is
fully online anymore, update keventd_up() to test wq_online instead.
The follow-up patches will get rid of all its usages and the
function itself.
* Flushing doesn't make sense before workqueue is fully initialized.
The flush functions trigger WARN and return immediately before fully
online.
* Work items are never in-flight before fully online. Canceling can
always succeed by skipping the flush step.
* Some code paths can no longer assume to be called with irq enabled
as irq is disabled during early boot. Use irqsave/restore
operations instead.
v2: Watchdog init, which requires timer to be running, moved from
workqueue_init_early() to workqueue_init().

destroy_workqueue() performs a number of sanity checks to ensure that
the workqueue is empty before proceeding with destruction. However,
it's not always easy to tell what's going on just from the warning
message. Let's dump workqueue state after sanity check failures to
help debugging.

With commit e9d867a67f ("sched: Allow per-cpu kernel threads to
run on online && !active"), __set_cpus_allowed_ptr() expects that only
strict per-cpu kernel threads can have affinity to an online CPU which
is not yet active.
This assumption is currently broken in the CPU_ONLINE notification
handler for the workqueues where restore_unbound_workers_cpumask()
calls set_cpus_allowed_ptr() when the first cpu in the unbound
worker's pool->attr->cpumask comes online. Since
set_cpus_allowed_ptr() is called with pool->attr->cpumask in which
only one CPU is online which is not yet active, we get the following
WARN_ON during an CPU online operation.

When activating a static object we need make sure that the object is
tracked in the object tracker. If it is a non-static object then the
activation is illegal.
In previous implementation, each subsystem need take care of this in
their fixup callbacks. Actually we can put it into debugobjects core.
Thus we can save duplicated code, and have *pure* fixup callbacks.
To achieve this, a new callback "is_static_object" is introduced to let
the type specific code decide whether a object is static or not. If
yes, we take it into object tracker, otherwise give warning and invoke
fixup callback.
This change has paassed debugobjects selftest, and I also do some test
with all debugobjects supports enabled.
At last, I have a concern about the fixups that can it change the object
which is in incorrect state on fixup? Because the 'addr' may not point
to any valid object if a non-static object is not tracked. Then Change
such object can overwrite someone's memory and cause unexpected
behaviour. For example, the timer_fixup_activate bind timer to function
stub_timer.

workqueue: fix rebind bound workers warning
Pull workqueue fix from Tejun Heo:
"So, it turns out we had a silly bug in the most fundamental part of
workqueue for a very long time. AFAICS, this dates back to pre-git
era and has quite likely been there from the time workqueue was first
introduced.
A work item uses its PENDING bit to synchronize multiple queuers.
Anyone who wins the PENDING bit owns the pending state of the work
item. Whether a queuer wins or loses the race, one thing should be
guaranteed - there will soon be at least one execution of the work
item - where "after" means that the execution instance would be able
to see all the changes that the queuer has made prior to the queueing
attempt.
Unfortunately, we were missing a smp_mb() after clearing PENDING for
execution, so nothing guaranteed visibility of the changes that a
queueing loser has made, which manifested as a reproducible blk-mq
stall.
Lots of kudos to Roman for debugging the problem. The patch for
-stable is the minimal one. For v3.7, Peter is working on a patch to
make the code path slightly more efficient and less fragile"

During debug it became clear that stalled request is always inserted in
the rq_list from the following path:
save_stack_trace_tsk + 34
blk_mq_insert_requests + 231
blk_mq_flush_plug_list + 281
blk_flush_plug_list + 199
wait_on_page_bit + 192
__filemap_fdatawait_range + 228
filemap_fdatawait_range + 20
filemap_write_and_wait_range + 63
blkdev_fsync + 27
vfs_fsync_range + 73
blkdev_write_iter + 202
__vfs_write + 170
vfs_write + 169
kernel_write + 56
So blk_flush_plug_list() was called with from_schedule == true.
If from_schedule is true, that means that finally blk_mq_insert_requests()
offloads execution of __blk_mq_run_hw_queue() and uses kblockd workqueue,
i.e. it calls kblockd_schedule_delayed_work_on().
That means, that we race with another CPU, which is about to execute
__blk_mq_run_hw_queue() work.
Further debugging shows the following traces from different CPUs:
CPU#0 CPU#1
---------------------------------- -------------------------------
reqeust A inserted
STORE hctx->ctx_map[0] bit marked
kblockd_schedule...() returns 1
<schedule to kblockd workqueue>
request B inserted
STORE hctx->ctx_map[1] bit marked
kblockd_schedule...() returns 0
*** WORK PENDING bit is cleared ***
flush_busy_ctxs() is executed, but
bit 1, set by CPU#1, is not observed
As a result request B pended forever.
This behaviour can be explained by speculative LOAD of hctx->ctx_map on
CPU#0, which is reordered with clear of PENDING bit and executed _before_
actual STORE of bit 1 on CPU#1.
The proper fix is an explicit full barrier <mfence>, which guarantees
that clear of PENDING bit is to be executed before all possible
speculative LOADS or STORES inside actual work function.

When looking up the pool_workqueue to use for an unbound workqueue,
workqueue assumes that the target CPU is always bound to a valid NUMA
node. However, currently, when a CPU goes offline, the mapping is
destroyed and cpu_to_node() returns NUMA_NO_NODE.
This has always been broken but hasn't triggered often enough before
874bbfe600 ("workqueue: make sure delayed work run in local cpu").
After the commit, workqueue forcifully assigns the local CPU for
delayed work items without explicit target CPU to fix a different
issue. This widens the window where CPU can go offline while a
delayed work item is pending causing delayed work items dispatched
with target CPU set to an already offlined CPU. The resulting
NUMA_NO_NODE mapping makes workqueue try to queue the work item on a
NULL pool_workqueue and thus crash.
While 874bbfe600 has been reverted for a different reason making the
bug less visible again, it can still happen. Fix it by mapping
NUMA_NO_NODE to the default pool_workqueue from unbound_pwq_by_node().
This is a temporary workaround. The long term solution is keeping CPU
-> NODE mapping stable across CPU off/online cycles which is being
worked on.

Workqueue used to guarantee local execution for work items queued
without explicit target CPU. The guarantee is gone now which can
break some usages in subtle ways. To flush out those cases, this
patch implements a debug feature which forces round-robin CPU
selection for all such work items.
The debug feature defaults to off and can be enabled with a kernel
parameter. The default can be flipped with a debug config option.

WORK_CPU_UNBOUND work items queued to a bound workqueue always run
locally. This is a good thing normally, but not when the user has
asked us to keep unbound work away from certain CPUs. Round robin
these to wq_unbound_cpumask CPUs instead, as perturbation avoidance
trumps performance.
tj: Cosmetic and comment changes. WARN_ON_ONCE() dropped from empty
(wq_unbound_cpumask AND cpu_online_mask). If we want that, it
should be done when config changes.

This reverts commit 874bbfe600.
Workqueue used to implicity guarantee that work items queued without
explicit CPU specified are put on the local CPU. Recent changes in
timer broke the guarantee and led to vmstat breakage which was fixed
by 176bed1de5 ("vmstat: explicitly schedule per-cpu work on the CPU
we need it to run on").
vmstat is the most likely to expose the issue and it's quite possible
that there are other similar problems which are a lot more difficult
to trigger. As a preventive measure, 874bbfe600 ("workqueue: make
sure delayed work run in local cpu") was applied to restore the local
CPU guarnatee. Unfortunately, the change exposed a bug in timer code
which got fixed by 22b886dd10 ("timers: Use proper base migration in
add_timer_on()"). Due to code restructuring, the commit couldn't be
backported beyond certain point and stable kernels which only had
874bbfe600 started crashing.
The local CPU guarantee was accidental more than anything else and we
want to get rid of it anyway. As, with the vmstat case fixed,
874bbfe600 is causing more problems than it's fixing, it has been
decided to take the chance and officially break the guarantee by
reverting the commit. A debug feature will be added to force foreign
CPU assignment to expose cases relying on the guarantee and fixes for
the individual cases will be backported to stable as necessary.

fca839c00a ("workqueue: warn if memory reclaim tries to flush
!WQ_MEM_RECLAIM workqueue") implemented flush dependency warning which
triggers if a PF_MEMALLOC task or WQ_MEM_RECLAIM workqueue tries to
flush a !WQ_MEM_RECLAIM workquee.
This assumes that workqueues marked with WQ_MEM_RECLAIM sit in memory
reclaim path and making it depend on something which may need more
memory to make forward progress can lead to deadlocks. Unfortunately,
workqueues created with the legacy create*_workqueue() interface
always have WQ_MEM_RECLAIM regardless of whether they are depended
upon memory reclaim or not. These spurious WQ_MEM_RECLAIM markings
cause spurious triggering of the flush dependency checks.

Workqueue stalls can happen from a variety of usage bugs such as
missing WQ_MEM_RECLAIM flag or concurrency managed work item
indefinitely staying RUNNING. These stalls can be extremely difficult
to hunt down because the usual warning mechanisms can't detect
workqueue stalls and the internal state is pretty opaque.
To alleviate the situation, this patch implements workqueue lockup
detector. It periodically monitors all worker_pools periodically and,
if any pool failed to make forward progress longer than the threshold
duration, triggers warning and dumps workqueue state as follows.
BUG: workqueue lockup - pool cpus=0 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 stuck for 31s!

My system keeps crashing with below message. vmstat_update() schedules a delayed
work in current cpu and expects the work runs in the cpu.
schedule_delayed_work() is expected to make delayed work run in local cpu. The
problem is timer can be migrated with NO_HZ. __queue_work() queues work in
timer handler, which could run in a different cpu other than where the delayed
work is scheduled. The end result is the delayed work runs in different cpu.
The patch makes __queue_delayed_work records local cpu earlier. Where the timer
runs doesn't change where the work runs with the change.

Because sched_setscheduler() checks p->flags & PF_NO_SETAFFINITY

set_cpus_allowed_ptr() call from __kthread_bind() and effectively undo
it:
__kthread_bind()
do_set_cpus_allowed()
<SYSCALL>
sched_setaffinity()
if (p->flags & PF_NO_SETAFFINITIY)
set_cpus_allowed_ptr()
p->flags |= PF_NO_SETAFFINITY
Fix the bug by putting everything under the regular scheduler locks.
This also closes a hole in the serialization of task_struct::{nr_,}cpus_allowed.

Commit 37b1ef31a5 ("workqueue: move
flush_scheduled_work() to workqueue.h") moved the exported non GPL
flush_scheduled_work() from a function to an inline wrapper.
Unfortunately, it directly calls flush_workqueue() which is a GPL function.
This has the effect of changing the licensing requirement for this function
and makes it unavailable to non GPL modules.
See commit ad7b1f841f ("workqueue: Make
schedule_work() available again to non GPL modules") for precedent.

wq_update_unbound_numa() is known be called with wq_pool_mutex held.
But wq_update_unbound_numa() requests wq->mutex before reading
wq->unbound_attrs, wq->numa_pwq_tbl[] and wq->dfl_pwq. But these fields
were changed to be allowed being read with wq_pool_mutex held. So we
simply remove the mutex_lock(&wq->mutex).
Without the dependence on the the mutex_lock(&wq->mutex), the test
of wq->unbound_attrs->no_numa can also be moved upward.
The old code need a long comment to describe the stableness of
@wq->unbound_attrs which is also guaranteed by wq_pool_mutex now,

Current wq_pool_mutex doesn't proctect the attrs-installation, it results
that ->unbound_attrs, ->numa_pwq_tbl[] and ->dfl_pwq can only be accessed
under wq->mutex and causes some inconveniences. Example, wq_update_unbound_numa()
has to acquire wq->mutex before fetching the wq->unbound_attrs->no_numa
and the old_pwq.
attrs-installation is a short operation, so this change will no cause any
latency for other operations which also acquire the wq_pool_mutex.
The only unprotected attrs-installation code is in apply_workqueue_attrs(),
so this patch touches code less than comments.
It is also a preparation patch for next several patches which read
wq->unbound_attrs, wq->numa_pwq_tbl[] and wq->dfl_pwq with
only wq_pool_mutex held.

Allow to modify the low-level unbound workqueues cpumask through
sysfs. This is performed by traversing the entire workqueue list
and calling apply_wqattrs_prepare() on the unbound workqueues
with the new low level mask. Only after all the preparation are done,
we commit them all together.
Ordered workqueues are ignored from the low level unbound workqueue
cpumask, it will be handled in near future.
All the (default & per-node) pwqs are mandatorily controlled by
the low level cpumask. If the user configured cpumask doesn't overlap
with the low level cpumask, the low level cpumask will be used for the
wq instead.
The comment of wq_calc_node_cpumask() is updated and explicitly
requires that its first argument should be the attrs of the default
pwq.
The default wq_unbound_cpumask is cpu_possible_mask. The workqueue
subsystem doesn't know its best default value, let the system manager
or the other subsystem set it when needed.
Changed from V8:
merge the calculating code for the attrs of the default pwq together.
minor change the code&comments for saving the user configured attrs.
remove unnecessary list_del().
minor update the comment of wq_calc_node_cpumask().
update the comment of workqueue_set_unbound_cpumask();

Create a cpumask that limits the affinity of all unbound workqueues.
This cpumask is controlled through a file at the root of the workqueue
sysfs directory.
It works on a lower-level than the per WQ_SYSFS workqueues cpumask files
such that the effective cpumask applied for a given unbound workqueue is
the intersection of /sys/devices/virtual/workqueue/$WORKQUEUE/cpumask and
the new /sys/devices/virtual/workqueue/cpumask file.
This patch implements the basic infrastructure and the read interface.
wq_unbound_cpumask is initially set to cpu_possible_mask.

Current apply_workqueue_attrs() includes pwqs-allocation and pwqs-installation,
so when we batch multiple apply_workqueue_attrs()s as a transaction, we can't
ensure the transaction must succeed or fail as a complete unit.
To solve this, we split apply_workqueue_attrs() into three stages.
The first stage does the preparation: allocation memory, pwqs.
The second stage does the attrs-installaion and pwqs-installation.
The third stage frees the allocated memory and (old or unused) pwqs.
As the result, batching multiple apply_workqueue_attrs()s can
succeed or fail as a complete unit:
1) batch do all the first stage for all the workqueues
2) only commit all when all the above succeed.
This patch is a preparation for the next patch ("Allow modifying low level
unbound workqueue cpumask") which will do a multiple apply_workqueue_attrs().
The patch doesn't have functionality changed except two minor adjustment:
1) free_unbound_pwq() for the error path is removed, we use the
heavier version put_pwq_unlocked() instead since the error path
is rare. this adjustment simplifies the code.
2) the memory-allocation is also moved into wq_pool_mutex.
this is needed to avoid to do the further splitting.

The sysfs code usually belongs to the botom of the file since it deals
with high level objects. In the workqueue code it's misplaced and such
that we'll need to work around functions references to allow the sysfs
code to call APIs like apply_workqueue_attrs().
Lets move that block further in the file, almost the botom.
And declare workqueue_sysfs_unregister() just before destroy_workqueue()
which reference it.

Workqueues are used extensively throughout the kernel but sometimes
it's difficult to debug stalls involving work items because visibility
into its inner workings is fairly limited. Although sysrq-t task dump
annotates each active worker task with the information on the work
item being executed, it is challenging to find out which work items
are pending or delayed on which queues and how pools are being
managed.
This patch implements show_workqueue_state() which dumps all busy
workqueues and pools and is called from the sysrq-t handler. At the
end of sysrq-t dump, something like the following is printed.
Showing busy workqueues and worker pools:
...
workqueue filler_wq: flags=0x0
pwq 2: cpus=1 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 active=2/256
in-flight: 491:filler_workfn, 507:filler_workfn
pwq 0: cpus=0 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 active=2/256
in-flight: 501:filler_workfn
pending: filler_workfn
...
workqueue test_wq: flags=0x8
pwq 2: cpus=1 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 active=1/1
in-flight: 510(RESCUER):test_workfn BAR(69) BAR(500)
delayed: test_workfn1 BAR(492), test_workfn2
...
pool 0: cpus=0 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 workers=2 manager: 137
pool 2: cpus=1 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 workers=3 manager: 469
pool 3: cpus=1 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=-20 workers=2 idle: 16
pool 8: cpus=0-3 flags=0x4 nice=0 workers=2 manager: 62
The above shows that test_wq is executing test_workfn() on pid 510
which is the rescuer and also that there are two tasks 69 and 500
waiting for the work item to finish in flush_work(). As test_wq has
max_active of 1, there are two work items for test_workfn1() and
test_workfn2() which are delayed till the current work item is
finished. In addition, pid 492 is flushing test_workfn1().
The work item for test_workfn() is being executed on pwq of pool 2
which is the normal priority per-cpu pool for CPU 1. The pool has
three workers, two of which are executing filler_workfn() for
filler_wq and the last one is assuming the manager role trying to
create more workers.
This extra workqueue state dump will hopefully help chasing down hangs
involving workqueues.
v3: cpulist_pr_cont() replaced with "%*pbl" printf formatting.
v2: As suggested by Andrew, minor formatting change in pr_cont_work(),
printk()'s replaced with pr_info()'s, and cpumask printing now
uses cpulist_pr_cont().

Add wq_barrier->task and worker_pool->manager to keep track of the

Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
The workqueues list is protected by wq_pool_mutex and a workqueue and
its subordinate data structures are freed directly on destruction. We
want to add the ability dump workqueues from a sysrq callback which
requires walking all workqueues without grabbing wq_pool_mutex. This
patch makes freeing of workqueues RCU protected and makes the
workqueues list walkable while holding RCU read lock.
Note that pool_workqueues and pools are already sched-RCU protected.
For consistency, workqueues are also protected with sched-RCU.
While at it, reverse the workqueues list so that a workqueue which is
created earlier comes before. The order of the list isn't significant
functionally but this makes the planned sysrq dump list system
workqueues first.

cancel[_delayed]_work_sync() are implemented using
__cancel_work_timer() which grabs the PENDING bit using
try_to_grab_pending() and then flushes the work item with PENDING set
to prevent the on-going execution of the work item from requeueing
itself.
try_to_grab_pending() can always grab PENDING bit without blocking
except when someone else is doing the above flushing during
cancelation. In that case, try_to_grab_pending() returns -ENOENT. In
this case, __cancel_work_timer() currently invokes flush_work(). The
assumption is that the completion of the work item is what the other
canceling task would be waiting for too and thus waiting for the same
condition and retrying should allow forward progress without excessive
busy looping
Unfortunately, this doesn't work if preemption is disabled or the
latter task has real time priority. Let's say task A just got woken
up from flush_work() by the completion of the target work item. If,
before task A starts executing, task B gets scheduled and invokes
__cancel_work_timer() on the same work item, its try_to_grab_pending()
will return -ENOENT as the work item is still being canceled by task A
and flush_work() will also immediately return false as the work item
is no longer executing. This puts task B in a busy loop possibly
preventing task A from executing and clearing the canceling state on
the work item leading to a hang.
task A task B worker

__cancel_work_timer()

completion, wakes up A
__cancel_work_timer()
while (forever) {
try_to_grab_pending()
-ENOENT as work is being canceled
flush_work()
false as work is no longer executing
}
This patch removes the possible hang by updating __cancel_work_timer()
to explicitly wait for clearing of CANCELING rather than invoking
flush_work() after try_to_grab_pending() fails with -ENOENT.

A worker_pool's forward progress is guaranteed by the fact that the
last idle worker assumes the manager role to create more workers and
summon the rescuers if creating workers doesn't succeed in timely
manner before proceeding to execute work items.
This manager role is implemented in manage_workers(), which indicates
whether the worker may proceed to work item execution with its return
value. This is necessary because multiple workers may contend for the
manager role, and, if there already is a manager, others should
proceed to work item execution.
Unfortunately, the function also indicates that the worker may proceed
to work item execution if need_to_create_worker() is false at the head
of the function. need_to_create_worker() tests the following
conditions.
pending work items && !nr_running && !nr_idle
The first and third conditions are protected by pool->lock and thus
won't change while holding pool->lock; however, nr_running can change
asynchronously as other workers block and resume and while it's likely
to be zero, as someone woke this worker up in the first place, some
other workers could have become runnable inbetween making it non-zero.
If this happens, manage_worker() could return false even with zero
nr_idle making the worker, the last idle one, proceed to execute work
items. If then all workers of the pool end up blocking on a resource
which can only be released by a work item which is pending on that
pool, the whole pool can deadlock as there's no one to create more
workers or summon the rescuers.
This patch fixes the problem by removing the early exit condition from
maybe_create_worker() and making manage_workers() return false iff
there's already another manager, which ensures that the last worker
doesn't start executing work items.
We can leave the early exit condition alone and just ignore the return
value but the only reason it was put there is because the
manage_workers() used to perform both creations and destructions of
workers and thus the function may be invoked while the pool is trying
to reduce the number of workers. Now that manage_workers() is called
only when more workers are needed, the only case this early exit
condition is triggered is rare race conditions rendering it pointless.
Tested with simulated workload and modified workqueue code which
trigger the pool deadlock reliably without this patch.

blocked, and a new thread cannot be created because it requires memory
allocation.
In this situation a WQ_MEM_RECLAIM workqueue will wake up the
rescuer thread to do some work.
The rescuer will only handle requests that are already on ->worklist.
If max_requests is 1, that means it will handle a single request.
The rescuer will be woken again in 100ms to handle another max_requests
requests.
I've seen a machine (running a 3.0 based "enterprise" kernel) with
thousands of requests queued for xfslogd, which has a max_requests of
1, and is needed for retiring all 'xfs' write requests. When one of
the worker pools gets into this state, it progresses extremely slowly
and possibly never recovers (only waited an hour or two).
With this patch we leave a pool_workqueue on mayday list
until it is clearly no longer in need of assistance. This allows
all requests to be handled in a timely fashion.
We keep each pool_workqueue on the mayday list until
need_to_create_worker() is false, and no work for this workqueue is
found in the pool.
I have tested this in combination with a (hackish) patch which forces
all work items to be handled by the rescuer thread. In that context
it significantly improves performance. A similar patch for a 3.0
kernel significantly improved performance on a heavy work load.
Thanks to Jan Kara for some design ideas, and to Dongsu Park for
some comments and testing.
tj: Inverted the lock order between wq_mayday_lock and pool->lock with
a preceding patch and simplified this patch. Added comment and
updated changelog accordingly. Dongsu spotted missing get_pwq()
in the simplified code.

Currently, pool->lock nests inside pool->lock. There's no inherent
reason for this order. The only place where the two locks are held
together is pool_mayday_timeout() and it just got decided that way.
This nesting order turns out to complicate things with the planned
rescuer_thread() update. Let's invert them. This doesn't cause any
behavior differences.

rescuer_thread() caches &rescuer->scheduled in a local variable
scheduled for convenience. There's one WARN_ON_ONCE() which was using
&rescuer->scheduled directly. Replace it with the local variable.
This patch causes no functional difference.

Tidy up and use cond_resched_rcu_qs when calling cond_resched and
reporting potential quiescent state to RCU. Splitting this change in
this way allows easy backporting to -stable for kernel versions not
having cond_resched_rcu_qs().
