* Update incorrect and add missing synchronization labels. * Update incorrect or misleading comments. Add new comments where clarification is necessary. Reformat / rephrase some comments. * drain_workqueue() can be used separately from destroy_workqueue() but its warning message was incorrectly referring to destruction. Other than the warning message change, this patch doesn't make any functional changes. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

Since 9e8cd2f5 ("workqueue: implement apply_workqueue_attrs()"), init_and_link_pwq() may be called to initialize a new pool_workqueue for a workqueue which is already online, but the function was setting pwq->max_active to wq->saved_max_active without proper synchronization. Fix it by calling pwq_adjust_max_active() under proper locking instead of manually setting max_active. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

Rename pwq_set_max_active() to pwq_adjust_max_active() and move pool_workqueue->max_active synchronization and max_active determination logic into it. The new function should be called with workqueue_lock held for stable workqueue->saved_max_active, determines the current max_active value the target pool_workqueue should be using from @wq->saved_max_active and the state of the associated pool, and applies it with proper synchronization. The current two users - workqueue_set_max_active() and thaw_workqueues() - are updated accordingly. In addition, the manual freezing handling in __alloc_workqueue_key() and freeze_workqueues_begin() are replaced with calls to pwq_adjust_max_active(). This centralizes max_active handling so that it's less error-prone. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

There are cases where workqueue users want to expose control knobs to userland. e.g. Unbound workqueues with custom attributes are scheduled to be used for writeback workers and depending on configuration it can be useful to allow admins to tinker with the priority or allowed CPUs. This patch implements workqueue_sysfs_register(), which makes the workqueue visible under /sys/bus/workqueue/devices/WQ_NAME. There currently are two attributes common to both per-cpu and unbound pools and extra attributes for unbound pools including nice level and cpumask. If alloc_workqueue*() is called with WQ_SYSFS, workqueue_sysfs_register() is called automatically as part of workqueue creation. This is the preferred method unless the workqueue user wants to apply workqueue_attrs before making the workqueue visible to userland. v2: Disallow exposing ordered workqueues as ordered workqueues can't be tuned in any way.

Kay tells me the most appropriate place to expose workqueues to userland would be /sys/devices/virtual/workqueues/WQ_NAME which is symlinked to /sys/bus/workqueue/devices/WQ_NAME and that we're lacking a way to do that outside of driver core as virtual_device_parent() isn't exported and there's no inteface to conveniently create a virtual subsystem. This patch implements subsys_virtual_register() by factoring out subsys_register() from subsys_system_register() and using it with virtual_device_parent() as the origin directory. It's identical to subsys_system_register() other than the origin directory but we aren't gonna restrict the device names which should be used under it. This will be used to expose workqueue attributes to userland. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Cc: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org>

We have cpulist_parse() but not cpumask_parse(). Implement it using bitmap_parse(). bitmap_parse() is weird in that it takes @len for a string in kernel-memory which also is inconsistent with bitmap_parselist(). Make cpumask_parse() calculate the length and don't expose the inconsistency to cpumask users. Maybe we can fix up bitmap_parse() later.

Adjusting max_active of or applying new workqueue_attrs to an ordered workqueue breaks its ordering guarantee. The former is obvious. The latter is because applying attrs creates a new pwq (pool_workqueue) and there is no ordering constraint between the old and new pwqs. Make apply_workqueue_attrs() and workqueue_set_max_active() trigger WARN_ON() if those operations are requested on an ordered workqueue and fail / ignore respectively.

Implement apply_workqueue_attrs() which applies workqueue_attrs to the specified unbound workqueue by creating a new pwq (pool_workqueue) linked to worker_pool with the specified attributes. A new pwq is linked at the head of wq->pwqs instead of tail and __queue_work() verifies that the first unbound pwq has positive refcnt before choosing it for the actual queueing. This is to cover the case where creation of a new pwq races with queueing. As base ref on a pwq won't be dropped without making another pwq the first one, __queue_work() is guaranteed to make progress and not add work item to a dead pwq. init_and_link_pwq() is updated to return the last first pwq the new pwq replaced, which is put by apply_workqueue_attrs(). Note that apply_workqueue_attrs() is almost identical to unbound pwq part of alloc_and_link_pwqs(). The only difference is that there is no previous first pwq. apply_workqueue_attrs() is implemented to handle such cases and replaces unbound pwq handling in alloc_and_link_pwqs().

Because per-cpu workqueues have multiple pwqs (pool_workqueues) to serve the CPUs, to guarantee that a single work item isn't queued on one pwq while still executing another, __queue_work() takes a look at the previous pool the target work item was on and if it's still executing there, queue the work item on that pool. To support changing workqueue_attrs on the fly, unbound workqueues too will have multiple pwqs and thus need non-reentrancy test when queueing. This patch modifies __queue_work() such that the reentrancy test is performed regardless of the workqueue type. per_cpu_ptr(wq->cpu_pwqs, cpu) used to be used to determine the matching pwq for the last pool. This can't be used for unbound workqueues and is replaced with worker->current_pwq which also happens to be simpler.

Unbound pwqs (pool_workqueues) will be dynamically created and destroyed with the scheduled unbound workqueue w/ custom attributes support. This patch synchronizes pwq linking and unlinking against flush_workqueue() so that its operation isn't disturbed by pwqs coming and going. Linking and unlinking a pwq into wq->pwqs is now protected also by wq->flush_mutex and a new pwq's work_color is initialized to wq->work_color during linking. This ensures that pwqs changes don't disturb flush_workqueue() in progress and the new pwq's work coloring stays in sync with the rest of the workqueue. flush_mutex during unlinking isn't strictly necessary but it's simpler to do it anyway.

Add pool_workqueue->refcnt along with get/put_pwq(). Both per-cpu and unbound pwqs have refcnts and any work item inserted on a pwq increments the refcnt which is dropped when the work item finishes. For per-cpu pwqs the base ref is never dropped and destroy_workqueue() frees the pwqs as before. For unbound ones, destroy_workqueue() simply drops the base ref on the first pwq. When the refcnt reaches zero, pwq_unbound_release_workfn() is scheduled on system_wq, which unlinks the pwq, puts the associated pool and frees the pwq and wq as necessary. This needs to be done from a work item as put_pwq() needs to be protected by pool->lock but release can't happen with the lock held - e.g. put_unbound_pool() involves blocking operations. Unbound pool->locks are marked with lockdep subclas 1 as put_pwq() will schedule the release work item on system_wq while holding the unbound pool's lock and triggers recursive locking warning spuriously. This will be used to implement dynamic creation and destruction of unbound pwqs. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@cn.fujitsu.com>

This patch makes unbound worker_pools reference counted and dynamically created and destroyed as workqueues needing them come and go. All unbound worker_pools are hashed on unbound_pool_hash which is keyed by the content of worker_pool->attrs. When an unbound workqueue is allocated, get_unbound_pool() is called with the attributes of the workqueue. If there already is a matching worker_pool, the reference count is bumped and the pool is returned. If not, a new worker_pool with matching attributes is created and returned. When an unbound workqueue is destroyed, put_unbound_pool() is called which decrements the reference count of the associated worker_pool. If the refcnt reaches zero, the worker_pool is destroyed in sched-RCU safe way. Note that the standard unbound worker_pools - normal and highpri ones with no specific cpumask affinity - are no longer created explicitly during init_workqueues(). init_workqueues() only initializes workqueue_attrs to be used for standard unbound pools - unbound_std_wq_attrs[]. The pools are spawned on demand as workqueues are created. v2: - Comment added to init_worker_pool() explaining that @pool should be in a condition which can be passed to put_unbound_pool() even on failure. - pool->refcnt reaching zero and the pool being removed from unbound_pool_hash should be dynamic. pool->refcnt is converted to int from atomic_t and now manipulated inside workqueue_lock. - Removed an incorrect sanity check on nr_idle in put_unbound_pool() which may trigger spuriously.

Introduce struct workqueue_attrs which carries worker attributes - currently the nice level and allowed cpumask along with helper routines alloc_workqueue_attrs() and free_workqueue_attrs(). Each worker_pool now carries ->attrs describing the attributes of its workers. All functions dealing with cpumask and nice level of workers are updated to follow worker_pool->attrs instead of determining them from other characteristics of the worker_pool, and init_workqueues() is updated to set worker_pool->attrs appropriately for all standard pools. Note that create_worker() is updated to always perform set_user_nice() and use set_cpus_allowed_ptr() combined with manual assertion of PF_THREAD_BOUND instead of kthread_bind().

POOL_MANAGING_WORKERS is used to synchronize the manager role. Synchronizing among workers doesn't need blocking and that's why it's implemented as a flag. It got converted to a mutex a while back to add blocking wait from CPU hotplug path - 60373152 ("workqueue: use mutex for global_cwq manager exclusion"). Later it turned out that synchronization among workers and cpu hotplug need to be done separately. Eventually, POOL_MANAGING_WORKERS is restored and workqueue->manager_mutex got morphed into workqueue->assoc_mutex - 552a37e9 ("workqueue: restore POOL_MANAGING_WORKERS") and b2eb83d1 ("workqueue: rename manager_mutex to assoc_mutex").

get_pwq() takes @cpu, which can also be WORK_CPU_UNBOUND, and @wq and returns the matching pwq (pool_workqueue). We want to move away from using @cpu for identifying pools and pwqs for unbound pools with custom attributes and there is only one user - workqueue_congested() - which makes use of the WQ_UNBOUND conditional in get_pwq().

The three freeze/thaw related functions - freeze_workqueues_begin(), freeze_workqueues_busy() and thaw_workqueues() - need to iterate through all pool_workqueues of all freezable workqueues. They did it by first iterating pools and then visiting all pwqs (pool_workqueues) of all workqueues and process it if its pwq->pool matches the current pool. This is rather backwards and done this way partly because workqueue didn't have fitting iteration helpers and partly to avoid the number of lock operations on pool->lock. Workqueue now has fitting iterators and the locking operation overhead isn't anything to worry about - those locks are unlikely to be contended and the same CPU visiting the same set of locks multiple times isn't expensive. Restructure the three functions such that the flow better matches the logical steps and pwq iteration is done using for_each_pwq() inside workqueue iteration. * freeze_workqueues_begin(): Setting of FREEZING is moved into a separate for_each_pool() iteration. pwq iteration for clearing max_active is updated as described above. * freeze_workqueues_busy(): pwq iteration updated as described above. * thaw_workqueues(): The single for_each_wq_cpu() iteration is broken into three discrete steps - clearing FREEZING, restoring max_active, and kicking workers. The first and last steps use for_each_pool() and the second step uses pwq iteration described above. This makes the code easier to understand and removes the use of for_each_wq_cpu() for walking pwqs, which can't support multiple unbound pwqs which will be needed to implement unbound workqueues with custom attributes.

pool_workqueues need to be aligned to 1 << WORK_STRUCT_FLAG_BITS as the lower bits of work->data are used for flags when they're pointing to pool_workqueues. Due to historical reasons, unbound pool_workqueues are allocated using kzalloc() with sufficient buffer area for alignment and aligned manually. The original pointer is stored at the end which free_pwqs() retrieves when freeing it. There's no reason for this hackery anymore. Set alignment of struct pool_workqueue to 1 << WORK_STRUCT_FLAG_BITS, add kmem_cache for pool_workqueues with proper alignment and replace the hacky alloc and free implementation with plain kmem_cache_zalloc/free(). In case WORK_STRUCT_FLAG_BITS gets shrunk too much and makes fields of pool_workqueues misaligned, trigger WARN if the alignment of struct pool_workqueue becomes smaller than that of long long.

Most assertions can converted to be less drastic such that things can limp along instead of dying completely.

Rescuers visit different worker_pools to process work items from pools under pressure. Currently, rescuer->pool is updated outside any locking and when an outsider looks at a rescuer, there's no way to tell when and whether rescuer->pool is gonna change. While this doesn't currently cause any problem, it is nasty. With recent worker_maybe_bind_and_lock() changes, we can move rescuer->pool updates inside pool locks such that if rescuer->pool equals a locked pool, it's guaranteed to stay that way until the pool is unlocked.
