The rcutorture_oom_notify() function unconditionally invokes rcu_barrier(), which is OK when the rcutorture.torture_type value is "rcu", but unhelpful otherwise. The purpose of these barrier calls is to wait for all outstanding callback-flooding callbacks to be invoked before cleaning up their data. Using the wrong barrier function therefore risks arbitrary memory corruption. Thus, this commit changes these rcu_barrier() calls into cur_ops->cb_barrier() to make things work when torturing non-vanilla flavors of RCU.

Userspace execution is a valid quiescent state for RCU Tasks Trace, but the scheduling-clock interrupt does not currently report such quiescent states. Of course, the scheduling-clock interrupt is not strictly speaking userspace execution. However, the only way that this code is not in a quiescent state is if something invoked rcu_read_lock_trace(), and that would be reflected in the ->trc_reader_nesting field in the task_struct structure. Furthermore, this field is checked by rcu_tasks_trace_qs(), which is invoked by rcu_tasks_qs() which is in turn invoked by rcu_note_voluntary_context_switch() in kernels building at least one of the RCU Tasks flavors. It is therefore safe to invoke rcu_tasks_trace_qs() from the rcu_sched_clock_irq(). But rcu_tasks_qs() also invokes rcu_tasks_classic_qs() for RCU Tasks, which lacks the read-side markers provided by RCU Tasks Trace. This raises the possibility that an RCU Tasks grace period could start after the interrupt from userspace execution, but before the call to rcu_sched_clock_irq(). However, it turns out that this is safe because the RCU Tasks grace period waits for an RCU grace period, which will wait for the entire scheduling-clock interrupt handler, including any RCU Tasks read-side critical section that this handler might contain. This commit therefore updates the rcu_sched_clock_irq() function's check for usermode execution and its call to rcu_tasks_classic_qs() to instead check for both usermode execution and interrupt from idle, and to instead call rcu_note_voluntary_context_switch(). This consolidates code and provides more faster RCU Tasks Trace reporting of quiescent states in kernels that do scheduling-clock interrupts for userspace execution.

The RCU Tasks Trace grace-period kthread loops across all CPUs, and there can be quite a few CPUs, with some commercially available systems sporting well over a thousand of them. Some of these loops can feature IPIs, which can take some time. This commit therefore places a call to cond_resched_tasks_rcu_qs() in each such loop.

Kernels built with CONFIG_PROVE_RCU=y and CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=y attempt to emit a warning when the synchronize_rcu_tasks_generic() function is called during early boot while the rcu_scheduler_active variable is RCU_SCHEDULER_INACTIVE. However the warnings is not actually be printed because the debug_lockdep_rcu_enabled() returns false, exactly because the rcu_scheduler_active variable is still equal to RCU_SCHEDULER_INACTIVE. This commit therefore replaces RCU_LOCKDEP_WARN() with WARN_ONCE() to force these warnings to actually be printed. Signed-off-by: Zqiang <qiang1.zhang@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

This commit applies the more-precise grace-period-state check used by rcu_seq_done_exact() to poll_state_synchronize_srcu(). This is important because Tiny SRCU uses a 16-bit counter, which can wrap quite quickly. If counter wrap continues to be a problem, then expanding ->srcu_idx and ->srcu_idx_max to 32 bits might be warranted. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org>

This commit adds same_state_synchronize_rcu() and same_state_synchronize_rcu_full() functions to compare grace-period state values, for example, those obtained from get_state_synchronize_rcu() and get_state_synchronize_rcu_full(). These functions allow small structures to omit these state values by placing them in list headers for lists containing structures with the same token value. Presumably the per-structure list pointers are the same ones used to link the structures into whatever reader-accessible data structure was used. This commit also adds both NUM_ACTIVE_RCU_POLL_OLDSTATE and NUM_ACTIVE_RCU_POLL_FULL_OLDSTATE, which define the maximum number of distinct unsigned long values and rcu_gp_oldstate values, respectively, corresponding to not-yet-completed grace periods. These values can be used to size arrays of the list headers described above. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org>

Large systems can have hundreds of rcu_node structures, and updating counters in each of them might slow down booting. This commit therefore updates only the counters in those rcu_node structures corresponding to the boot CPU, up to and including the root rcu_node structure. The counters for the remaining rcu_node structures are updated by the rcu_scheduler_starting() function, which executes just before the first non-boot kthread is spawned. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

Now that rcu_gp_oldstate can accurately track both normal and expedited grace periods regardless of system state, rcutorture's rcu_poll_need_2gp() function need only call for a second grace period for the old single-unsigned-long grace-period polling APIs This commit therefore adjusts rcu_poll_need_2gp() accordingly.

Because both normal and expedited grace periods increment their respective counters on their pre-scheduler early boot fastpaths, the rcu_gp_oldstate structure no longer needs its ->rgos_polled field.

This commit causes the early boot single-CPU synchronize_rcu_expedited() fastpath to update the rcu_state structure's ->expedited_sequence counter. This will allow the full-state polled grace-period APIs to detect all expedited grace periods without the need to track the special combined polling-only counter, which is another step towards removing the ->rgos_polled field from the rcu_gp_oldstate, thereby reducing its size by one third.

It would be good do reduce the size of the rcu_gp_oldstate structure from three unsigned long instances to two, but this requires that the boot-time optimized grace periods update the various ->gp_seq fields. Updating these fields in the rcu_state structure and in all of the rcu_node structures is at least semi-reasonable, but updating them in all of the rcu_data structures is a bridge too far. This means that if there are too many early boot-time grace periods, the ->gp_seq field in the rcu_data structure cannot be trusted. This commit therefore sets each rcu_data structure's ->gpwrap field to provide the necessary impetus for a suitable level of distrust. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org>

The run-time single-CPU grace-period optimization applies only to kernels built with CONFIG_SMP=y && CONFIG_PREEMPTION=y that are running on a single-CPU system. But a kernel intended for a single-CPU system should instead be built with CONFIG_SMP=n, and in any case, single-CPU systems running Linux no longer appear to be the common case. Plus this optimization results in the rcu_gp_oldstate structure being half again larger than it needs to be. This commit therefore disables the run-time single-CPU grace-period optimization, so that this optimization applies only during the pre-scheduler portion of the boot sequence. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

The cond_synchronize_rcu_expedited() API compresses the combined expedited and normal grace-period states into a single unsigned long, which conserves storage, but can miss grace periods in certain cases involving overlapping normal and expedited grace periods. Missing the occasional grace period is usually not a problem, but there are use cases that care about each and every grace period. This commit therefore adds yet another member of the full-state RCU grace-period polling API, which is the cond_synchronize_rcu_exp_full() function. This uses up to three times the storage (rcu_gp_oldstate structure instead of unsigned long), but is guaranteed not to miss grace periods. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org>

Offline CPUs cannot be offloaded or deoffloaded. Any attempt to offload or deoffload an offline CPU causes a message to be printed on the console, which is good, but this message does not contain the CPU number, which is bad. Such a CPU number can be helpful when debugging, as it gives a clear indication that the CPU in question is in fact offline.

Currently the monitor work is scheduled with a fixed interval of HZ/20, which is roughly 50 milliseconds. The drawback of this approach is low utilization of the 512 page slots in scenarios with infrequence kvfree_rcu() calls.

The fill_page_cache_func() function allocates couple of pages to store kvfree_rcu_bulk_data structures. This is a lightweight (GFP_NORETRY) allocation which can fail under memory pressure. The function will, however keep retrying even when the previous attempt has failed. This retrying is in theory correct, but in practice the allocation is invoked from workqueue context, which means that if the memory reclaim gets stuck, these retries can hog the worker for quite some time. Although the workqueues subsystem automatically adjusts concurrency, such adjustment is not guaranteed to happen until the worker context sleeps. And the fill_page_cache_func() function's retry loop is not guaranteed to sleep (see the should_reclaim_retry() function). And we have seen this function cause workqueue lockups: kernel: BUG: workqueue lockup - pool cpus=93 node=1 flags=0x1 nice=0 stuck for 32s! [...] kernel: pool 74: cpus=37 node=0 flags=0x1 nice=0 hung=32s workers=2 manager: 2146 kernel: pwq 498: cpus=249 node=1 flags=0x1 nice=0 active=4/256 refcnt=5 kernel: in-flight: 1917:fill_page_cache_func kernel: pending: dbs_work_handler, free_work, kfree_rcu_monitor Originally, we thought that the root cause of this lockup was several retries with direct reclaim, but this is not yet confirmed. Furthermore, we have seen similar lockups without any heavy memory pressure. This suggests that there are other factors contributing to these lockups. However, it is not really clear that endless retries are desireable. So let's make the fill_page_cache_func() function back off after allocation failure.

The rcu_boost_kthread_setaffinity() function removes the outgoing CPU from the set_cpus_allowed() mask for the corresponding leaf rcu_node structure's rcub priority-boosting kthread. Except that if the outgoing CPU will leave that structure without any online CPUs, the mask is set to the housekeeping CPU mask from housekeeping_cpumask(). Which is fine unless the outgoing CPU happens to be a housekeeping CPU. This commit therefore removes the outgoing CPU from the housekeeping mask. This would of course be problematic if the outgoing CPU was the last online housekeeping CPU, but in that case you are in a world of hurt anyway. If someone comes up with a valid use case for a system needing all the housekeeping CPUs to be offline, further adjustments can be made. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org>
