      timers: Remove set_timer_slack() leftovers · 53bf837b
      Thomas Gleixner authored
      We now have implicit batching in the timer wheel. The slack API is no longer
      used, so remove it.

      timers: Switch to a non-cascading wheel · 500462a9
      Thomas Gleixner authored
      The current timer wheel has some drawbacks:
      
      1) Cascading:
      
         Cascading can be an unbound operation and is completely pointless in most
         cases because the vast majority of the timer wheel timers are canceled or
         rearmed before expiration. (They are used as timeout safeguards, not as
         real timers to measure time.)
      
      2) No fast lookup of the next expiring timer:
      
         In NOHZ scenarios the first timer soft interrupt after a long NOHZ period
         must fast forward the base time to the current value of jiffies. As we
         have no way to find the next expiring timer fast, the code loops linearly
         and increments the base time one by one and checks for expired timers
         in each step. This causes unbound overhead spikes exactly in the moment
         when we should wake up as fast as possible.
      
      After a thorough analysis of real world data gathered on laptops,
      workstations, webservers and other machines (thanks Chris!) I came to the
      conclusion that the current 'classic' timer wheel implementation can be
      modified to address the above issues.
      
      The vast majority of timer wheel timers is canceled or rearmed before
      expiry. Most of them are timeouts for networking and other I/O tasks. The
      nature of timeouts is to catch the exception from normal operation (TCP ack
      timed out, disk does not respond, etc.). For these kinds of timeouts the
      accuracy of the timeout is not really a concern. Timeouts are very often
      approximate worst-case values and in case the timeout fires, we already
      waited for a long time and performance is down the drain already.
      
      The few timers which actually expire can be split into two categories:
      
       1) Short expiry times which expect halfways accurate expiry
      
       2) Long term expiry times are inaccurate today already due to the
          batching which is done for NOHZ automatically and also via the
          set_timer_slack() API.
      
      So for long term expiry timers we can avoid the cascading property and just
      leave them in the less granular outer wheels until expiry or
      cancelation. Timers which are armed with a timeout larger than the wheel
      capacity are no longer cascaded. We expire them with the longest possible
      timeout (6+ days). We have not observed such timeouts in our data collection,
      but at least we handle them, applying the rule of the least surprise.
      
      To avoid extending the wheel levels for HZ=1000 so we can accomodate the
      longest observed timeouts (5 days in the network conntrack code) we reduce the
      first level granularity on HZ=1000 to 4ms, which effectively is the same as
      the HZ=250 behaviour. From our data analysis there is nothing which relies on
      that 1ms granularity and as a side effect we get better batching and timer
      locality for the networking code as well.
      
      Contrary to the classic wheel the granularity of the next wheel is not the
      capacity of the first wheel. The granularities of the wheels are in the
      currently chosen setting 8 times the granularity of the previous wheel.
      
      So for HZ=250 we end up with the following granularity levels:
      
       Level Offset   Granularity                  Range
           0      0          4 ms                 0 ms -        252 ms
           1     64         32 ms               256 ms -       2044 ms (256ms - ~2s)
           2    128        256 ms              2048 ms -      16380 ms (~2s   - ~16s)
           3    192       2048 ms (~2s)       16384 ms -     131068 ms (~16s  - ~2m)
           4    256      16384 ms (~16s)     131072 ms -    1048572 ms (~2m   - ~17m)
           5    320     131072 ms (~2m)     1048576 ms -    8388604 ms (~17m  - ~2h)
           6    384    1048576 ms (~17m)    8388608 ms -   67108863 ms (~2h   - ~18h)
           7    448    8388608 ms (~2h)    67108864 ms -  536870911 ms (~18h  - ~6d)
      
      That's a worst case inaccuracy of 12.5% for the timers which are queued at the
      beginning of a level.
      
      So the new wheel concept addresses the old issues:
      
      1) Cascading is avoided completely
      
      2) By keeping the timers in the bucket until expiry/cancelation we can track
         the buckets which have timers enqueued in a bucket bitmap and therefore can
         look up the next expiring timer very fast and O(1).
      
      A further benefit of the concept is that the slack calculation which is done
      on every timer start is no longer necessary because the granularity levels
      provide natural batching already.
      
      Our extensive testing with various loads did not show any performance
      degradation vs. the current wheel implementation.
      
      This patch does not address the 'fast lookup' issue as we wanted to make sure
      that there is no regression introduced by the wheel redesign. The
      optimizations are in follow up patches.
      
      This patch contains fixes from Anna-Maria Gleixner and Richard Cochran.

      timers: Make 'pinned' a timer property · e675447b
      Thomas Gleixner authored
      We want to move the timer migration logic from a 'push' to a 'pull' model.
      
      Under the current 'push' model pinned timers are handled via
      a runtime API variant: mod_timer_pinned().
      
      The 'pull' model requires us to store the pinned attribute of a timer
      in the timer_list structure itself, as a new TIMER_PINNED bit in
      timer->flags.
      
      This flag must be set at initialization time and the timer APIs
      recognize the flag.
      
      This patch:
      
       - Implements the new flag and associated new-style initialization
         methods
      
       - makes mod_timer() recognize new-style pinned timers,
      
       - and adds some migration helper facility to allow
         step by step conversion of old-style to new-style
         pinned timers.

      }
      
      There are multiple ingredients for this:
      
       1) PAGE_NONE is defined to _CACHE_CACHABLE_NONCOHERENT, which is CCA 3
          on all platforms except SB1 where it's CCA 5.
       2) _page_cachable_default must have bits set which are not set
          _CACHE_CACHABLE_NONCOHERENT.
       3) Either the defective version of pte_modify for XPA or the standard
          version must be in used.  However pte_modify for the 36 bit address
          space support is no affected.
      
      In that case additional bits in the final CCA mode may generate an invalid
      value for the CCA field.  On the R10000 system where this was tracked
      down for example a CCA 7 has been observed, which is Uncached Accelerated.
      
      Fixed by:
      
       1) Using the proper CCA mode for PAGE_NONE just like for all the other
          PAGE_* pte/pmd bits.
       2) Fix the two affected variants of pte_modify.
      
      Further code inspection also shows the same issue to exist in pmd_modify
      which would affect huge page systems.
      
      Issue in pte_modify tracked down by Alastair Bridgewater, PAGE_NONE
      and pmd_modify issue found by me.
      
      The history of this goes back beyond Linus' git history.  Chris Dearman's
      commit 35133692 ("[MIPS] Allow setting of
      the cache attribute at run time.") missed the opportunity to fix this
      but it was originally introduced in lmo commit
      d523832cf12007b3242e50bb77d0c9e63e0b6518 ("Missing from last commit.")
      and 32cc38229ac7538f2346918a09e75413e8861f87 ("New configuration option
      CONFIG_MIPS_UNCACHED.")

           Device Specific Method) implementation that gets tripped up by new
           auto-probing behavior in the NFIT driver.
      
        2/ A fix tagged for -stable that stops the kernel from
           clobbering/ignoring changes to the configuration of a 'pfn'
           instance ("struct page" driver).  For example changing the
           alignment from 2M to 1G may silently revert to 2M if that value is
           currently stored on media.
      
        3/ A fix from Eric for an xfstests failure in dax.  It is not
           currently tagged for -stable since it requires an 8-exabyte file
           system to trigger, and there appear to be no user visible side
           effects"

      locks: use file_inode() · 6343a212
      Miklos Szeredi authored
      (Another one for the f_path debacle.)
      
      ltp fcntl33 testcase caused an Oops in selinux_file_send_sigiotask.
      
      The reason is that generic_add_lease() used filp->f_path.dentry->inode
      while all the others use file_inode().  This makes a difference for files
      opened on overlayfs since the former will point to the overlay inode the
      latter to the underlying inode.
      
      So generic_add_lease() added the lease to the overlay inode and
      generic_delete_lease() removed it from the underlying inode.  When the file
      was released the lease remained on the overlay inode's lock list, resulting
      in use after free.
