Merge tag 'v3.9-rc5' into wq/for-3.10

Writeback conversion to workqueue will be based on top of wq/for-3.10
branch to take advantage of custom attrs and NUMA support for unbound
workqueues.  Mainline currently contains two commits which result in
non-trivial merge conflicts with wq/for-3.10 and because
block/for-3.10/core is based on v3.9-rc3 which contains one of the
conflicting commits, we need a pre-merge-window merge anyway.  Let's
pull v3.9-rc5 into wq/for-3.10 so that the block tree doesn't suffer
from workqueue merge conflicts.

The two conflicts and their resolutions:

* e68035fb65 ("workqueue: convert to idr_alloc()") in mainline changes
  worker_pool_assign_id() to use idr_alloc() instead of the old idr
  interface.  worker_pool_assign_id() goes through multiple locking
  changes in wq/for-3.10 causing the following conflict.

  static int worker_pool_assign_id(struct worker_pool *pool)
  {
	  int ret;

  <<<<<<< HEAD
	  lockdep_assert_held(&wq_pool_mutex);

	  do {
		  if (!idr_pre_get(&worker_pool_idr, GFP_KERNEL))
			  return -ENOMEM;
		  ret = idr_get_new(&worker_pool_idr, pool, &pool->id);
	  } while (ret == -EAGAIN);
  =======
	  mutex_lock(&worker_pool_idr_mutex);
	  ret = idr_alloc(&worker_pool_idr, pool, 0, 0, GFP_KERNEL);
	  if (ret >= 0)
		  pool->id = ret;
	  mutex_unlock(&worker_pool_idr_mutex);
  >>>>>>> c67bf5361e7e66a0ff1f4caf95f89347d55dfb89

	  return ret < 0 ? ret : 0;
  }

  We want locking from the former and idr_alloc() usage from the
  latter, which can be combined to the following.

  static int worker_pool_assign_id(struct worker_pool *pool)
  {
	  int ret;

	  lockdep_assert_held(&wq_pool_mutex);

	  ret = idr_alloc(&worker_pool_idr, pool, 0, 0, GFP_KERNEL);
	  if (ret >= 0) {
		  pool->id = ret;
		  return 0;
	  }
	  return ret;
   }

* eb2834285c ("workqueue: fix possible pool stall bug in
  wq_unbind_fn()") updated wq_unbind_fn() such that it has single
  larger for_each_std_worker_pool() loop instead of two separate loops
  with a schedule() call inbetween.  wq/for-3.10 renamed
  pool->assoc_mutex to pool->manager_mutex causing the following
  conflict (earlier function body and comments omitted for brevity).

  static void wq_unbind_fn(struct work_struct *work)
  {
  ...
		  spin_unlock_irq(&pool->lock);
  <<<<<<< HEAD
		  mutex_unlock(&pool->manager_mutex);
	  }
  =======
		  mutex_unlock(&pool->assoc_mutex);
  >>>>>>> c67bf5361e7e66a0ff1f4caf95f89347d55dfb89

		  schedule();

  <<<<<<< HEAD
	  for_each_cpu_worker_pool(pool, cpu)
  =======
  >>>>>>> c67bf5361e7e66a0ff1f4caf95f89347d55dfb89
		  atomic_set(&pool->nr_running, 0);

		  spin_lock_irq(&pool->lock);
		  wake_up_worker(pool);
		  spin_unlock_irq(&pool->lock);
	  }
  }

  The resolution is mostly trivial.  We want the control flow of the
  latter with the rename of the former.

  static void wq_unbind_fn(struct work_struct *work)
  {
  ...
		  spin_unlock_irq(&pool->lock);
		  mutex_unlock(&pool->manager_mutex);

		  schedule();

		  atomic_set(&pool->nr_running, 0);

		  spin_lock_irq(&pool->lock);
		  wake_up_worker(pool);
		  spin_unlock_irq(&pool->lock);
	  }
  }

Tejun Heo d55262c4d1 workqueue: update sysfs interface to reflect NUMA awareness and a kernel param to disable NUMA affinity
Unbound workqueues are now NUMA aware.  Let's add some control knobs
and update sysfs interface accordingly.

* Add kernel param workqueue.numa_disable which disables NUMA affinity
  globally.

* Replace sysfs file "pool_id" with "pool_ids" which contain
  node:pool_id pairs.  This change is userland-visible but "pool_id"
  hasn't seen a release yet, so this is okay.

* Add a new sysf files "numa" which can toggle NUMA affinity on
  individual workqueues.  This is implemented as attrs->no_numa whichn
  is special in that it isn't part of a pool's attributes.  It only
  affects how apply_workqueue_attrs() picks which pools to use.

After "pool_ids" change, first_pwq() doesn't have any user left.
Removed.

Tejun Heo 4c16bd327c workqueue: implement NUMA affinity for unbound workqueues
Currently, an unbound workqueue has single current, or first, pwq
(pool_workqueue) to which all new work items are queued.  This often
isn't optimal on NUMA machines as workers may jump around across node
boundaries and work items get assigned to workers without any regard
to NUMA affinity.

This patch implements NUMA affinity for unbound workqueues.  Instead
of mapping all entries of numa_pwq_tbl[] to the same pwq,
apply_workqueue_attrs() now creates a separate pwq covering the
intersecting CPUs for each NUMA node which has online CPUs in
@attrs->cpumask.  Nodes which don't have intersecting possible CPUs
are mapped to pwqs covering whole @attrs->cpumask.

As CPUs come up and go down, the pool association is changed
accordingly.  Changing pool association may involve allocating new
pools which may fail.  To avoid failing CPU_DOWN, each workqueue
always keeps a default pwq which covers whole attrs->cpumask which is
used as fallback if pool creation fails during a CPU hotplug
operation.

This ensures that all work items issued on a NUMA node is executed on
the same node as long as the workqueue allows execution on the CPUs of
the node.

As this maps a workqueue to multiple pwqs and max_active is per-pwq,
this change the behavior of max_active.  The limit is now per NUMA
node instead of global.  While this is an actual change, max_active is
already per-cpu for per-cpu workqueues and primarily used as safety
mechanism rather than for active concurrency control.  Concurrency is
usually limited from workqueue users by the number of concurrently
active work items and this change shouldn't matter much.

v2: Fixed pwq freeing in apply_workqueue_attrs() error path.  Spotted
    by Lai.

v3: The previous version incorrectly made a workqueue spanning
    multiple nodes spread work items over all online CPUs when some of
    its nodes don't have any desired cpus.  Reimplemented so that NUMA
    affinity is properly updated as CPUs go up and down.  This problem
    was spotted by Lai Jiangshan.

v4: destroy_workqueue() was putting wq->dfl_pwq and then clearing it;
    however, wq may be freed at any time after dfl_pwq is put making
    the clearing use-after-free.  Clear wq->dfl_pwq before putting it.

v5: apply_workqueue_attrs() was leaking @tmp_attrs, @new_attrs and
    @pwq_tbl after success.  Fixed.

    Retry loop in wq_update_unbound_numa_attrs() isn't necessary as
    application of new attrs is excluded via CPU hotplug.  Removed.

    Documentation on CPU affinity guarantee on CPU_DOWN added.

    All changes are suggested by Lai Jiangshan.

Tejun Heo df2d5ae499 workqueue: map an unbound workqueues to multiple per-node pool_workqueues
Currently, an unbound workqueue has only one "current" pool_workqueue
associated with it.  It may have multple pool_workqueues but only the
first pool_workqueue servies new work items.  For NUMA affinity, we
want to change this so that there are multiple current pool_workqueues
serving different NUMA nodes.

Introduce workqueue->numa_pwq_tbl[] which is indexed by NUMA node and
points to the pool_workqueue to use for each possible node.  This
replaces first_pwq() in __queue_work() and workqueue_congested().

numa_pwq_tbl[] is currently initialized to point to the same
pool_workqueue as first_pwq() so this patch doesn't make any behavior
changes.

v2: Use rcu_dereference_raw() in unbound_pwq_by_node() as the function
    may be called only with wq->mutex held.

Tejun Heo 2728fd2f09 workqueue: move hot fields of workqueue_struct to the end
Move wq->flags and ->cpu_pwqs to the end of workqueue_struct and align
them to the cacheline.  These two fields are used in the work item
issue path and thus hot.  The scheduled NUMA affinity support will add
dispatch table at the end of workqueue_struct and relocating these two
fields will allow us hitting only single cacheline on hot paths.

Note that wq->pwqs isn't moved although it currently is being used in
the work item issue path for unbound workqueues.  The dispatch table
mentioned above will replace its use in the issue path, so it will
become cold once NUMA support is implemented.

Tejun Heo f3f90ad469 workqueue: determine NUMA node of workers accourding to the allowed cpumask
When worker tasks are created using kthread_create_on_node(),
currently only per-cpu ones have the matching NUMA node specified.
All unbound workers are always created with NUMA_NO_NODE.

Now that an unbound worker pool may have an arbitrary cpumask
associated with it, this isn't optimal.  Add pool->node which is
determined by the pool's cpumask.  If the pool's cpumask is contained
inside a NUMA node proper, the pool is associated with that node, and
all workers of the pool are created on that node.

This currently only makes difference for unbound worker pools with
cpumask contained inside single NUMA node, but this will serve as
foundation for making all unbound pools NUMA-affine.

Tejun Heo e3c916a4c7 workqueue: drop 'H' from kworker names of unbound worker pools
Currently, all workqueue workers which have negative nice value has
'H' postfixed to their names.  This is necessary for per-cpu workers
as they use the CPU number instead of pool->id to identify the pool
and the 'H' postfix is the only thing distinguishing normal and
highpri workers.

As workers for unbound pools use pool->id, the 'H' postfix is purely
informational.  TASK_COMM_LEN is 16 and after the static part and
delimiters, there are only five characters left for the pool and
worker IDs.  We're expecting to have more unbound pools with the
scheduled NUMA awareness support.  Let's drop the non-essential 'H'
postfix from unbound kworker name.

While at it, restructure kthread_create*() invocation to help future

29c91e9912 ("workqueue: implement attribute-based unbound worker_pool

to avoid false negative when comparing cpumasks with custom hash
function; unfortunately, the hash and comparison functions fail to

bitmap_copy() skips leftover bits in the last word of bitmap and
cpumask_equal() ignores impossible CPUs.

This patch updates attrs->cpumask handling such that impossible CPUs
are properly ignored.

* Hash and copy functions no longer do anything special.  They expect
  their callers to clear impossible CPUs.

* alloc_workqueue_attrs() initializes the cpumask to cpu_possible_mask
  instead of setting all bits and explicit cpumask_setall() for
  unbound_std_wq_attrs[] in init_workqueues() is dropped.

  CPUs.  It makes a copy of @attrs and clears impossible CPUs before

Eric W. Biederman 87a8ebd637 userns: Restrict when proc and sysfs can be mounted
Only allow unprivileged mounts of proc and sysfs if they are already
mounted when the user namespace is created.

proc and sysfs are interesting because they have content that is
per namespace, and so fresh mounts are needed when new namespaces
are created while at the same time proc and sysfs have content that
is shared between every instance.

Respect the policy of who may see the shared content of proc and sysfs
by only allowing new mounts if there was an existing mount at the time
the user namespace was created.

In practice there are only two interesting cases: proc and sysfs are
mounted at their usual places, proc and sysfs are not mounted at all
(some form of mount namespace jail).

Eric W. Biederman 3151527ee0 userns: Don't allow creation if the user is chrooted
Guarantee that the policy of which files may be access that is
established by setting the root directory will not be violated
by user namespaces by verifying that the root directory points
to the root of the mount namespace at the time of user namespace
creation.

Changing the root is a privileged operation, and as a matter of policy
it serves to limit unprivileged processes to files below the current
root directory.

For reasons of simplicity and comprehensibility the privilege to
change the root directory is gated solely on the CAP_SYS_CHROOT
capability in the user namespace.  Therefore when creating a user
namespace we must ensure that the policy of which files may be access
can not be violated by changing the root directory.

Anyone who runs a processes in a chroot and would like to use user
namespace can setup the same view of filesystems with a mount
namespace instead.  With this result that this is not a practical
limitation for using user namespaces.

Lai Jiangshan b09f4fd39c workqueue: protect wq->pwqs and iteration with wq->mutex
We're expanding wq->mutex to cover all fields specific to each
workqueue with the end goal of replacing pwq_lock which will make
locking simpler and easier to understand.

init_and_link_pwq() and pwq_unbound_release_workfn() already grab
wq->mutex when adding or removing a pwq from wq->pwqs list.  This
patch makes it official that the list is wq->mutex protected for
writes and updates readers accoridingly.  Explicit IRQ toggles for
sched-RCU read-locking in flush_workqueue_prep_pwqs() and
drain_workqueues() are removed as the surrounding wq->mutex can
provide sufficient synchronization.

Also, assert_rcu_or_pwq_lock() is renamed to assert_rcu_or_wq_mutex()
and checks for wq->mutex too.

pwq_lock locking and assertion are not removed by this patch and a
couple of for_each_pwq() iterations are still protected by it.
They'll be removed by future patches.

Oleg Nesterov 2ca067efd8 poweroff: change orderly_poweroff() to use schedule_work()
David said:

    Commit 6c0c0d4d10 ("poweroff: fix bug in orderly_poweroff()")
    apparently fixes one bug in orderly_poweroff(), but introduces
    another.  The comments on orderly_poweroff() claim it can be called
    from any context - and indeed we call it from interrupt context in
    arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/ras.c for example.  But since that
    commit this is no longer safe, since call_usermodehelper_fns() is not
    safe in interrupt context without the UMH_NO_WAIT option.

orderly_poweroff() can be used from any context but UMH_WAIT_EXEC is
sleepable.  Move the "force" logic into __orderly_poweroff() and change
orderly_poweroff() to use the global poweroff_work which simply calls
__orderly_poweroff().

While at it, remove the unneeded "int argc" and change argv_split() to
use GFP_KERNEL.

We use the global "bool poweroff_force" to pass the argument, this can
obviously affect the previous request if it is pending/running.  So we
only allow the "false => true" transition assuming that the pending
"true" should succeed anyway.  If schedule_work() fails after that we
know that work->func() was not called yet, it must see the new value.

This means that orderly_poweroff() becomes async even if we do not run
the command and always succeeds, schedule_work() can only fail if the
work is already pending.  We can export __orderly_poweroff() and change
the non-atomic callers which want the old semantics.

To fix this, provide an off-case for wake_up_klogd() when

There is much more from console_unlock() and other console related code
in printk.c that should be moved under CONFIG_PRINTK.  But for now,

If pwq_adjust_max_active() increases max_active for an unbound wq,

wake up a worker so that the requested concurrency level is reached

Tejun Heo 7dbc725e47 workqueue: restore CPU affinity of unbound workers on CPU_ONLINE
With the recent addition of the custom attributes support, unbound
pools may have allowed cpumask which isn't full.  As long as some of
CPUs in the cpumask are online, its workers will maintain cpus_allowed
as set on worker creation; however, once no online CPU is left in
cpus_allowed, the scheduler will reset cpus_allowed of any workers
which get scheduled so that they can execute.

To remain compliant to the user-specified configuration, CPU affinity
needs to be restored when a CPU becomes online for an unbound pool
which doesn't currently have any online CPUs before.

This patch implement restore_unbound_workers_cpumask(), which is
called from CPU_ONLINE for all unbound pools, checks whether the
coming up CPU is the first allowed online one, and, if so, invokes
set_cpus_allowed_ptr() with the configured cpumask on all workers.

Tejun Heo a9ab775bca workqueue: directly restore CPU affinity of workers from CPU_ONLINE
Rebinding workers of a per-cpu pool after a CPU comes online involves
a lot of back-and-forth mostly because only the task itself could
adjust CPU affinity if PF_THREAD_BOUND was set.

As CPU_ONLINE itself couldn't adjust affinity, it had to somehow
coerce the workers themselves to perform set_cpus_allowed_ptr().  Due
to the various states a worker can be in, this led to three different
paths a worker may be rebound.  worker->rebind_work is queued to busy
workers.  Idle ones are signaled by unlinking worker->entry and call
idle_worker_rebind().  The manager isn't covered by either and
implements its own mechanism.

PF_THREAD_BOUND has been relaced with PF_NO_SETAFFINITY and CPU_ONLINE
itself now can manipulate CPU affinity of workers.  This patch
replaces the existing rebind mechanism with direct one where
CPU_ONLINE iterates over all workers using for_each_pool_worker(),
restores CPU affinity, and clears WORKER_UNBOUND.

There are a couple subtleties.  All bound idle workers should have
their runqueues set to that of the bound CPU; however, if the target
task isn't running, set_cpus_allowed_ptr() just updates the
cpus_allowed mask deferring the actual migration to when the task
wakes up.  This is worked around by waking up idle workers after
restoring CPU affinity before any workers can become bound.

Another subtlety is stems from matching @pool->nr_running with the
number of running unbound workers.  While DISASSOCIATED, all workers
are unbound and nr_running is zero.  As workers become bound again,
nr_running needs to be adjusted accordingly; however, there is no good
way to tell whether a given worker is running without poking into
scheduler internals.  Instead of clearing UNBOUND directly,
rebind_workers() replaces UNBOUND with another new NOT_RUNNING flag -
REBOUND, which will later be cleared by the workers themselves while
preparing for the next round of work item execution.  The only change
needed for the workers is clearing REBOUND along with PREP.

* This patch leaves for_each_busy_worker() without any user.  Removed.

* idle_worker_rebind(), busy_worker_rebind_fn(), worker->rebind_work
  and rebind logic in manager_workers() removed.

* worker_thread() now looks at WORKER_DIE instead of testing whether
  @worker->entry is empty to determine whether it needs to do
  something special as dying is the only special thing now.

Make worker_ida an idr - worker_idr and use it to implement
for_each_pool_worker() which will be used to simplify worker rebinding
on CPU_ONLINE.

pool->worker_idr is protected by both pool->manager_mutex and
pool->lock so that it can be iterated while holding either lock.

* create_worker() allocates ID without installing worker pointer and
  installs the pointer later using idr_replace().  This is because
  worker ID is needed when creating the actual task to name it and the
  new worker shouldn't be visible to iterations before fully
  initialized.

* In destroy_worker(), ID removal is moved before kthread_stop().
  This is again to guarantee that only fully working workers are

Tejun Heo 14a40ffccd sched: replace PF_THREAD_BOUND with PF_NO_SETAFFINITY
PF_THREAD_BOUND was originally used to mark kernel threads which were
bound to a specific CPU using kthread_bind() and a task with the flag
set allows cpus_allowed modifications only to itself.  Workqueue is
currently abusing it to prevent userland from meddling with
cpus_allowed of workqueue workers.

What we need is a flag to prevent userland from messing with
cpus_allowed of certain kernel tasks.  In kernel, anyone can
(incorrectly) squash the flag, and, for worker-type usages,
restricting cpus_allowed modification to the task itself doesn't
provide meaningful extra proection as other tasks can inject work
items to the task anyway.

This patch replaces PF_THREAD_BOUND with PF_NO_SETAFFINITY.
sched_setaffinity() checks the flag and return -EINVAL if set.
set_cpus_allowed_ptr() is no longer affected by the flag.

This will allow simplifying workqueue worker CPU affinity management.

the tracers to see what flags are being changed, and also be able
to prevent the change from happing.

Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 8090282265 tracing: Keep overwrite in sync between regular and snapshot buffers
Changing the overwrite mode for the ring buffer via the trace
option only sets the normal buffer. But the snapshot buffer could
swap with it, and then the snapshot would be in non overwrite mode
and the normal buffer would be in overwrite mode, even though the
option flag states otherwise.

Keep the two buffers overwrite modes in sync.

Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 69d34da298 tracing: Protect tracer flags with trace_types_lock
Seems that the tracer flags have never been protected from
synchronous writes. Luckily, admins don't usually modify the
tracing flags via two different tasks. But if scripts were to
be used to modify them, then they could get corrupted.

Move the trace_types_lock that protects against tracers changing
to also protect the flags being set.
