2015-10-06rcu_sync: Simplify rcu_sync using new rcu_sync_ops structureOleg Nesterov
This commit adds the new struct rcu_sync_ops which holds sync/call methods, and turns the function pointers in rcu_sync_struct into an array of struct rcu_sync_ops. This simplifies the "init" helpers by collapsing a switch statement and explicit multiple definitions into a simple assignment and a helper macro, respectively.

2015-10-06rcu: Create rcu_sync infrastructureOleg Nesterov
The rcu_sync infrastructure can be thought of as infrastructure to be used to implement reader-writer primitives having extremely lightweight readers during times when there are no writers. The first use is in the percpu_rwsem used by the VFS subsystem. This infrastructure is functionally equivalent to struct rcu_sync_struct { atomic_t counter; }; /* Check possibility of fast-path read-side operations. */ static inline bool rcu_sync_is_idle(struct rcu_sync_struct *rss) { return atomic_read(&rss->counter) == 0; } /* Tell readers to use slowpaths. */ static inline void rcu_sync_enter(struct rcu_sync_struct *rss) { atomic_inc(&rss->counter); synchronize_sched(); } /* Allow readers to once again use fastpaths. */ static inline void rcu_sync_exit(struct rcu_sync_struct *rss) { synchronize_sched(); atomic_dec(&rss->counter); } The main difference is that it records the state and only calls synchronize_sched() if required. At least some of the calls to synchronize_sched() will be optimized away when rcu_sync_enter() and rcu_sync_exit() are invoked repeatedly in quick succession.

2015-10-06rcu: Finish folding ->fqs_state into ->gp_statePetr Mladek
Commit commit 4cdfc175c25c89ee ("rcu: Move quiescent-state forcing into kthread") started the process of folding the old ->fqs_state into ->gp_state, but did not complete it. This situation does not cause any malfunction, but can result in extremely confusing trace output. This commit completes this task of eliminating ->fqs_state in favor of ->gp_state. The old ->fqs_state was also used to decide when to collect dyntick-idle snapshots. For this purpose, we add a boolean variable into the kthread, which is set on the first call to rcu_gp_fqs() for a given grace period and clear otherwise.

Currently, __srcu_read_lock() cannot be invoked from restricted environments because it contains calls to preempt_disable() and preempt_enable(), both of which can invoke lockdep, which is a bad idea in some restricted execution modes. This commit therefore moves the preempt_disable() and preempt_enable() from __srcu_read_lock() to srcu_read_lock().

2015-10-06rcu: Add online/offline info to stall warning messagePaul E. McKenney
This commit makes the RCU CPU stall warning message print online/offline indications immediately after a hyphen following the CPU number. A "O" indicates that the global CPU-hotplug system believes that the CPU is online, a "o" that RCU perceived the CPU to be online at the beginning of the current expedited grace period, and an "N" that RCU currently believes that it will perceive the CPU as being online at the beginning of the next expedited grace period, with "." otherwise for all three indications. So for CPU 10, you would normally see "10-OoN:" indicating that everything believes that the CPU is online. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2015-10-06rcu: Eliminate panic when silly boot-time fanout specifiedPaul E. McKenney
This commit loosens rcutree.rcu_fanout_leaf range checks and replaces a panic() with a fallback to compile-time values. This fallback is accompanied by a WARN_ON(), and both occur when the rcutree.rcu_fanout_leaf value is too small to accommodate the number of CPUs. For example, given the current four-level limit for the rcu_node tree, a system with more than 16 CPUs built with CONFIG_FANOUT=2 must have rcutree.rcu_fanout_leaf larger than 2.

2015-10-06rcu: Don't disable preemption for Tiny and Tree RCU readersBoqun Feng
Because preempt_disable() maps to barrier() for non-debug builds, it forces the compiler to spill and reload registers. Because Tree RCU and Tiny RCU now only appear in CONFIG_PREEMPT=n builds, these barrier() instances generate needless extra code for each instance of rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock(). This extra code slows down Tree RCU and bloats Tiny RCU. This commit therefore removes the preempt_disable() and preempt_enable() from the non-preemptible implementations of __rcu_read_lock() and __rcu_read_unlock(), respectively. However, for debug purposes, preempt_disable() and preempt_enable() are still invoked if CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT=y, because this allows detection of sleeping inside atomic sections in non-preemptible kernels. However, Tiny and Tree RCU operates by coalescing all RCU read-side critical sections on a given CPU that lie between successive quiescent states. It is therefore necessary to compensate for removing barriers from __rcu_read_lock() and __rcu_read_unlock() by adding them to a couple of the RCU functions invoked during quiescent states, namely to rcu_all_qs() and rcu_note_context_switch(). However, note that the latter is more paranoia than necessity, at least until link-time optimizations become more aggressive. This is based on an earlier patch by Paul E. McKenney, fixing a bug encountered in kernels built with CONFIG_PREEMPT=n and CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT=y. Signed-off-by: Boqun Feng <boqun.feng@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2015-09-20rcu: Make ->cpu_no_qs be a union for aggregate ORPaul E. McKenney
This commit converts the rcu_data structure's ->cpu_no_qs field to a union. The bytewise side of this union allows individual access to indications as to whether this CPU needs to find a quiescent state for a normal (.norm) and/or expedited (.exp) grace period. The setwise side of the union allows testing whether or not a quiescent state is needed at all, for either type of grace period. For now, only .norm is used.

2015-09-20rcu: Move synchronize_sched_expedited() to combining treePaul E. McKenney
Currently, synchronize_sched_expedited() uses a single global counter to track the number of remaining context switches that the current expedited grace period must wait on. This is problematic on large systems, where the resulting memory contention can be pathological. This commit therefore makes synchronize_sched_expedited() instead use the combining tree in the same manner as synchronize_rcu_expedited(), keeping memory contention down to a dull roar. This commit creates a temporary function sync_sched_exp_select_cpus() that is very similar to sync_rcu_exp_select_cpus(). A later commit will consolidate these two functions, which becomes possible when synchronize_sched_expedited() switches from stop_one_cpu_nowait() to smp_call_function_single().

2015-09-20rcu: Use single-stage IPI algorithm for RCU expedited grace periodPaul E. McKenney
The current preemptible-RCU expedited grace-period algorithm invokes synchronize_sched_expedited() to enqueue all tasks currently running in a preemptible-RCU read-side critical section, then waits for all the ->blkd_tasks lists to drain. This works, but results in both an IPI and a double context switch even on CPUs that do not happen to be running in a preemptible RCU read-side critical section. This commit implements a new algorithm that causes less OS jitter. This new algorithm IPIs all online CPUs that are not idle (from an RCU perspective), but refrains from self-IPIs. If a CPU receiving this IPI is not in a preemptible RCU read-side critical section (or is just now exiting one), it pushes quiescence up the rcu_node tree, otherwise, it sets a flag that will be handled by the upcoming outermost rcu_read_unlock(), which will then push quiescence up the tree. The expedited grace period must of course wait on any pre-existing blocked readers, and newly blocked readers must be queued carefully based on the state of both the normal and the expedited grace periods. This new queueing approach also avoids the need to update boost state, courtesy of the fact that blocked tasks are no longer ever migrated to the root rcu_node structure. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2015-09-20rcu: Suppress lockdep false positive for rcp->exp_funnel_mutexPaul E. McKenney
In kernels built with CONFIG_PREEMPT=y, synchronize_rcu_expedited() invokes synchronize_sched_expedited() while holding RCU-preempt's root rcu_node structure's ->exp_funnel_mutex, which is acquired after the rcu_data structure's ->exp_funnel_mutex. The first thing that synchronize_sched_expedited() will do is acquire RCU-sched's rcu_data structure's ->exp_funnel_mutex. There is no danger of an actual deadlock because the locking order is always from RCU-preempt's expedited mutexes to those of RCU-sched. Unfortunately, lockdep considers both rcu_data structures' ->exp_funnel_mutex to be in the same lock class and therefore reports a deadlock cycle. This commit silences this false positive by placing RCU-sched's rcu_data structures' ->exp_funnel_mutex locks into their own lock class.

2015-08-04rcu: Silence lockdep false positive for expedited grace periodsPaul E. McKenney
In a CONFIG_PREEMPT=y kernel, synchronize_rcu_expedited() acquires the ->exp_funnel_mutex in rcu_preempt_state, then invokes synchronize_sched_expedited, which acquires the ->exp_funnel_mutex in rcu_sched_state. There can be no deadlock because rcu_preempt_state ->exp_funnel_mutex acquisition always precedes that of rcu_sched_state. But lockdep does not know that, so it gives false-positive splats. This commit therefore associates a separate lock_class_key structure with the rcu_sched_state structure's ->exp_funnel_mutex, allowing lockdep to see the lock ordering, avoiding the false positives.

2015-07-22rcu: Don't disable CPU hotplug during OOM notifiersPaul E. McKenney
RCU's rcu_oom_notify() disables CPU hotplug in order to stabilize the list of online CPUs, which it traverses. However, this is completely pointless because smp_call_function_single() will quietly fail if invoked on an offline CPU. Because the count of requests is incremented in the rcu_oom_notify_cpu() function that is remotely invoked, everything works nicely even in the face of concurrent CPU-hotplug operations. Furthermore, in recent kernels, invoking get_online_cpus() from an OOM notifier can result in deadlock. This commit therefore removes the call to get_online_cpus() and put_online_cpus() from rcu_oom_notify().

There have been several requests for a primitive that waits for grace periods for several RCU flavors concurrently, so this commit creates it. This is a variadic macro, and you pass in the call_rcu() functions of the flavors of RCU that you wish to wait for. Note that you cannot pass in call_srcu() for two reasons: (1) This would result in a type mismatch and (2) You need to specify which srcu_struct you want to use. Handle this by creating a wrapper function for your SRCU domain, for example: void call_srcu_mine(struct rcu_head *head, rcu_callback_t func) { call_srcu(&ss_mine, head, func); } You can then do something like this: synchronize_rcu_mult(call_srcu_mine, call_rcu, call_rcu_sched); Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2015-07-17rcu: Consolidate last open-coded expedited memory barrierPaul E. McKenney
One of the requirements on RCU grace periods is that if there is a causal chain of operations that starts after one grace period and ends before another grace period, then the two grace periods must be serialized. There has been (and might still be) code that relies on this, for example, certain types of reference-counting code that does a call_rcu() within an RCU callback function. This requirement is why there is an smp_mb() at the end of both synchronize_sched_expedited() and synchronize_rcu_expedited(). However, this is the only smp_mb() in these functions, so it would be nicer to consolidate it into rcu_exp_gp_seq_end(). This commit does just that. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

These will be applied to synchronize_rcu_expedited(). These are defined in terms of underlying rcu_seq_start(), rcu_seq_end(), rcu_seq_snap(), rcu_seq_done(), which will be applied to _rcu_barrier(). One reason that this commit doesn't use the seqcount primitives themselves is that the smp_wmb() in those primitive is insufficient due to the fact that expedited grace periods do reads as well as writes.

2015-07-17rcu: Make expedited GP CPU stoppage asynchronousPeter Zijlstra
Sequentially stopping the CPUs slows down expedited grace periods by at least a factor of two, based on rcutorture's grace-period-per-second rate. This is a conservative measure because rcutorture uses unusually long RCU read-side critical sections and because rcutorture periodically quiesces the system in order to test RCU's ability to ramp down to and up from the idle state. This commit therefore replaces the stop_one_cpu() with stop_one_cpu_nowait(), using an atomic-counter scheme to determine when all CPUs have passed through the stopped state.

2015-07-17rcu: Get rid of synchronize_sched_expedited()'s polling loopPaul E. McKenney
This commit gets rid of synchronize_sched_expedited()'s mutex_trylock() polling loop in favor of a funnel-locking scheme based on the rcu_node tree. The work-done check is done at each level of the tree, allowing high-contention situations to be resolved quickly with reasonable levels of mutex contention. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2015-07-17rcu: Rework synchronize_sched_expedited() counter handlingPaul E. McKenney
Now that synchronize_sched_expedited() have a mutex, it can use simpler work-already-done detection scheme. This commit simplifies this scheme by using something similar to the sequence-locking counter scheme. A counter is incremented before and after each grace period, so that the counter is odd in the midst of the grace period and even otherwise. So if the counter has advanced to the second even number that is greater than or equal to the snapshot, the required grace period has already happened. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2015-07-17rcu: Switch synchronize_sched_expedited() to stop_one_cpu()Peter Zijlstra
The synchronize_sched_expedited() currently invokes try_stop_cpus(), which schedules the stopper kthreads on each online non-idle CPU, and waits until all those kthreads are running before letting any of them stop. This is disastrous for real-time workloads, which get hit with a preemption that is as long as the longest scheduling latency on any CPU, including any non-realtime housekeeping CPUs. This commit therefore switches to using stop_one_cpu() on each CPU in turn. This avoids inflicting the worst-case scheduling latency on the worst-case CPU onto all other CPUs, and also simplifies the code a little bit. Follow-up commits will simplify the counter-snapshotting algorithm and convert a number of the counters that are now protected by the new ->expedited_mutex to non-atomic.

2015-07-17rcu: Remove CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_INFOPaul E. McKenney
The CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_INFO has been default-y for a couple of releases with no complaints, so it is time to eliminate this Kconfig option entirely, so that the long-form RCU CPU stall warnings cannot be disabled. This commit does just that. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2015-07-17rcu: Stop disabling CPU hotplug in synchronize_rcu_expedited()Paul E. McKenney
The fact that tasks could be migrated from leaf to root rcu_node structures meant that synchronize_rcu_expedited() had to disable CPU hotplug. However, tasks now stay put, so this commit removes the CPU-hotplug disabling from synchronize_rcu_expedited(). Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2015-07-17rcu: Reset rcu_fanout_leaf if out of boundsPaul E. McKenney
Currently if the rcu_fanout_leaf boot parameter is out of bounds (that is, less than RCU_FANOUT_LEAF or greater than the number of bits in an unsigned long), a warning is issued and execution continues with the out-of-bounds value. This can result in all manner of failures, so this patch resets rcu_fanout_leaf to RCU_FANOUT_LEAF when an out-of-bounds condition is detected. Signed-off-by: Paul E.
