25511a47 "workqueue: reimplement CPU online rebinding to handle idle workers" added CPU locality sanity check in process_one_work(). It triggers if a worker is executing on a different CPU without UNBOUND or REBIND set. This works for all normal workers but rescuers can trigger this spuriously when they're serving the unbound or a disassociated global_cwq - rescuers don't have either flag set and thus its gcwq->cpu can be a different value including %WORK_CPU_UNBOUND. Fix it by additionally testing %GCWQ_DISASSOCIATED. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Reported-by: "Paul E.

kthread_worker provides minimalistic workqueue-like interface for users which need a dedicated worker thread (e.g. for realtime priority). It has basic queue, flush_work, flush_worker operations which mostly match the workqueue counterparts; however, due to the way flush_work() is implemented, it has a noticeable difference of not allowing work items to be freed while being executed. While the current users of kthread_worker are okay with the current behavior, the restriction does impede some valid use cases. Also, removing this difference isn't difficult and actually makes the code easier to understand. This patch reimplements flush_kthread_work() such that it uses a flush_work item instead of queue/done sequence numbers. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

With trustee gone, CPU hotplug code can be simplified. * gcwq_claim/release_management() now grab and release gcwq lock too respectively and gained _and_lock and _and_unlock postfixes. * All CPU hotplug logic was implemented in workqueue_cpu_callback() which was called by workqueue_cpu_up/down_callback() for the correct priority. This was because up and down paths shared a lot of logic, which is no longer true. Remove workqueue_cpu_callback() and move all hotplug logic into the two actual callbacks. This patch doesn't make any functional changes. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: "Rafael J. Wysocki" <rjw@sisk.pl>

With the previous changes, a disassociated global_cwq now can run as an unbound one on its own - it can create workers as necessary to drain remaining works after the CPU has been brought down and manage the number of workers using the usual idle timer mechanism making trustee completely redundant except for the actual unbinding operation. This patch removes the trustee and let a disassociated global_cwq manage itself. Unbinding is moved to a work item (for CPU affinity) which is scheduled and flushed from CPU_DONW_PREPARE. This patch moves nr_running clearing outside gcwq and manager locks to simplify the code. As nr_running is unused at the point, this is safe.

Currently, during CPU offlining, after all pending work items are drained, the trustee butchers all workers. Also, on CPU onlining failure, workqueue_cpu_callback() ensures that the first idle worker is destroyed. Combined, these guarantee that an offline CPU doesn't have any worker for it once all the lingering work items are finished. This guarantee isn't really necessary and makes CPU on/offlining more expensive than needs to be, especially for platforms which use CPU hotplug for powersaving. This patch lets offline CPUs removes idle worker butchering from the trustee and let a CPU which failed onlining keep the created first worker. The first worker is created if the CPU doesn't have any during CPU_DOWN_PREPARE and started right away. If onlining succeeds, the rebind_workers() call in CPU_ONLINE will rebind it like any other workers. If onlining fails, the worker is left alone till the next try. This makes CPU hotplugs cheaper by allowing global_cwqs to keep workers across them and simplifies code. Note that trustee doesn't re-arm idle timer when it's done and thus the disassociated global_cwq will keep all workers until it comes back online. This will be improved by further patches.

Currently, if there are left workers when a CPU is being brough back online, the trustee kills all idle workers and scheduled rebind_work so that they re-bind to the CPU after the currently executing work is finished. This works for busy workers because concurrency management doesn't try to wake up them from scheduler callbacks, which require the target task to be on the local run queue. The busy worker bumps concurrency counter appropriately as it clears WORKER_UNBOUND from the rebind work item and it's bound to the CPU before returning to the idle state. To reduce CPU on/offlining overhead (as many embedded systems use it for powersaving) and simplify the code path, workqueue is planned to be modified to retain idle workers across CPU on/offlining. This patch reimplements CPU online rebinding such that it can also handle idle workers. As noted earlier, due to the local wakeup requirement, rebinding idle workers is tricky. All idle workers must be re-bound before scheduler callbacks are enabled. This is achieved by interlocking idle re-binding. Idle workers are requested to re-bind and then hold until all idle re-binding is complete so that no bound worker starts executing work item. Only after all idle workers are re-bound and parked, CPU_ONLINE proceeds to release them and queue rebind work item to busy workers thus guaranteeing scheduler callbacks aren't invoked until all idle workers are ready. worker_rebind_fn() is renamed to busy_worker_rebind_fn() and idle_worker_rebind() for idle workers is added. Rebinding logic is moved to rebind_workers() and now called from CPU_ONLINE after flushing trustee. While at it, add CPU sanity check in worker_thread(). Note that now a worker may become idle or the manager between trustee release and rebinding during CPU_ONLINE. As the previous patch updated create_worker() so that it can be used by regular manager while unbound and this patch implements idle re-binding, this is safe. This prepares for removal of trustee and keeping idle workers across CPU hotplugs. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: "Rafael J. Wysocki" <rjw@sisk.pl>

Currently, create_worker()'s callers are responsible for deciding whether the newly created worker should be bound to the associated CPU and create_worker() sets WORKER_UNBOUND only for the workers for the unbound global_cwq. Creation during normal operation is always via maybe_create_worker() and @bind is true. For workers created during hotplug, @bind is false. Normal operation path is planned to be used even while the CPU is going through hotplug operations or offline and this static decision won't work. Drop @bind from create_worker() and decide whether to bind by looking at GCWQ_DISASSOCIATED. create_worker() will also set WORKER_UNBOUND autmatically if disassociated. To avoid flipping GCWQ_DISASSOCIATED while create_worker() is in progress, the flag is now allowed to be changed only while holding all manager_mutexes on the global_cwq. This requires that GCWQ_DISASSOCIATED is not cleared behind trustee's back. CPU_ONLINE no longer clears DISASSOCIATED before flushing trustee, which clears DISASSOCIATED before rebinding remaining workers if asked to release. For cases where trustee isn't around, CPU_ONLINE clears DISASSOCIATED after flushing trustee. Also, now, first_idle has UNBOUND set on creation which is explicitly cleared by CPU_ONLINE while binding it. These convolutions will soon be removed by further simplification of CPU hotplug path.

POOL_MANAGING_WORKERS is used to ensure that at most one worker takes the manager role at any given time on a given global_cwq. Trustee later hitched on it to assume manager adding blocking wait for the bit. As trustee already needed a custom wait mechanism, waiting for MANAGING_WORKERS was rolled into the same mechanism. Trustee is scheduled to be removed. This patch separates out MANAGING_WORKERS wait into per-pool mutex. Workers use mutex_trylock() to test for manager role and trustee uses mutex_lock() to claim manager roles. gcwq_claim/release_management() helpers are added to grab and release manager roles of all pools on a global_cwq. gcwq_claim_management() always grabs pool manager mutexes in ascending pool index order and uses pool index as lockdep subclass.

Currently, WORKER_UNBOUND is used to mark workers for the unbound global_cwq and WORKER_ROGUE is used to mark workers for disassociated per-cpu global_cwqs. Both are used to make the marked worker skip concurrency management and the only place they make any difference is in worker_enter_idle() where WORKER_ROGUE is used to skip scheduling idle timer, which can easily be replaced with trustee state testing. This patch replaces WORKER_ROGUE with WORKER_UNBOUND and drops WORKER_ROGUE. This is to prepare for removing trustee and handling disassociated global_cwqs as unbound.

Workqueue used CPU_DYING notification to mark GCWQ_DISASSOCIATED. This was necessary because workqueue's CPU_DOWN_PREPARE happened before other DOWN_PREPARE notifiers and workqueue needed to stay associated across the rest of DOWN_PREPARE. After the previous patch, workqueue's DOWN_PREPARE happens after others and can set GCWQ_DISASSOCIATED directly. Drop CPU_DYING and let the trustee set GCWQ_DISASSOCIATED after disabling concurrency management. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: "Rafael J. Wysocki" <rjw@sisk.pl>

Currently, all workqueue cpu hotplug operations run off CPU_PRI_WORKQUEUE which is higher than normal notifiers. This is to ensure that workqueue is up and running while bringing up a CPU before other notifiers try to use workqueue on the CPU. Per-cpu workqueues are supposed to remain working and bound to the CPU for normal CPU_DOWN_PREPARE notifiers. This holds mostly true even with workqueue offlining running with higher priority because workqueue CPU_DOWN_PREPARE only creates a bound trustee thread which runs the per-cpu workqueue without concurrency management without explicitly detaching the existing workers. However, if the trustee needs to create new workers, it creates unbound workers which may wander off to other CPUs while CPU_DOWN_PREPARE notifiers are in progress. Furthermore, if the CPU down is cancelled, the per-CPU workqueue may end up with workers which aren't bound to the CPU. While reliably reproducible with a convoluted artificial test-case involving scheduling and flushing CPU burning work items from CPU down notifiers, this isn't very likely to happen in the wild, and, even when it happens, the effects are likely to be hidden by the following successful CPU down. Fix it by using different priorities for up and down notifiers - high priority for up operations and low priority for down operations. Workqueue cpu hotplug operations will soon go through further cleanup. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Acked-by: "Rafael J. Wysocki" <rjw@sisk.pl>

WQ_HIGHPRI was implemented by queueing highpri work items at the head of the global worklist. Other than queueing at the head, they weren't handled differently; unfortunately, this could lead to execution latency of a few seconds on heavily loaded systems. Now that workqueue code has been updated to deal with multiple worker_pools per global_cwq, this patch reimplements WQ_HIGHPRI using a separate worker_pool. NR_WORKER_POOLS is bumped to two and gcwq->pools[0] is used for normal pri work items and ->pools[1] for highpri. Highpri workers get -20 nice level and has 'H' suffix in their names. Note that this change increases the number of kworkers per cpu. POOL_HIGHPRI_PENDING, pool_determine_ins_pos() and highpri chain wakeup code in process_one_work() are no longer used and removed. This allows proper prioritization of highpri work items and removes high execution latency of highpri work items. v2: nr_running indexing bug in get_pool_nr_running() fixed. v3: Refreshed for the get_pool_nr_running() update in the previous patch.

Note that nr_running is per-pool property and converted to an array with NR_WORKER_POOLS elements and renamed to pool_nr_running. Note that get_pool_nr_running() currently assumes 0 index. The next patch will make use of non-zero index. The changes in this patch are mechanical and don't caues any functional difference.

After commit f5bf18fa ("bootmem/sparsemem: remove limit constraint in alloc_bootmem_section"), usemap allocations may easily be placed outside the optimal section that holds the node descriptor, even if there is space available in that section. This results in unnecessary hotplug dependencies that need to have the node unplugged before the section holding the usemap. The reason is that the bootmem allocator doesn't guarantee a linear search starting from the passed allocation goal but may start out at a much higher address absent an upper limit. Fix this by trying the allocation with the limit at the section end, then retry without if that fails. This keeps the fix from f5bf18fa of not panicking if the allocation does not fit in the section, but still makes sure to try to stay within the section at first.

Commit 238305bb ("mm: remove sparsemem allocation details from the bootmem allocator") introduced a bug in the allocation goal calculation that put section usemaps not in the same section as the node descriptors, creating unnecessary hotplug dependencies between them: node 0 must be removed before remove section 16399 node 1 must be removed before remove section 16399 node 2 must be removed before remove section 16399 node 3 must be removed before remove section 16399 node 4 must be removed before remove section 16399 node 5 must be removed before remove section 16399 node 6 must be removed before remove section 16399 The reason is that it applies PAGE_SECTION_MASK to the physical address of the node descriptor when finding a suitable place to put the usemap, when this mask is actually intended to be used with PFNs. Because the PFN mask is wider, the target address will point beyond the wanted section holding the node descriptor and the node must be offlined before the section holding the usemap can go. Fix this by extending the mask to address width before use.

shmem_add_to_page_cache() has three callsites, but only one of them wants the radix_tree_preload() (an exceptional entry guarantees that the radix tree node is present in the other cases), and only that site can achieve mem_cgroup_uncharge_cache_page() (PageSwapCache makes it a no-op in the other cases).

When adding the page_private checks before calling shmem_replace_page(), I did realize that there is a further race, but thought it too unlikely to need a hurried fix. But independently I've been chasing why a mem cgroup's memory.stat sometimes shows negative rss after all tasks have gone: I expected it to be a stats gathering bug, but actually it's shmem swapping's fault. It's an old surprise, that when you lock_page(lookup_swap_cache(swap)), the page may have been removed from swapcache before getting the lock; or it may have been freed and reused and be back in swapcache; and it can even be using the same swap location as before (page_private same). The swapoff case is already secure against this (swap cannot be reused until the whole area has been swapped off, and a new swapped on); and shmem_getpage_gfp() is protected by shmem_add_to_page_cache()'s check for the expected radix_tree entry - but a little too late. By that time, we might have already decided to shmem_replace_page(): I don't know of a problem from that, but I'd feel more at ease not to do so spuriously. And we have already done mem_cgroup_cache_charge(), on perhaps the wrong mem cgroup: and this charge is not then undone on the error path, because PageSwapCache ends up preventing that. It's this last case which causes the occasional negative rss in memory.stat: the page is charged here as cache, but (sometimes) found to be anon when eventually it's uncharged - and in between, it's an undeserved charge on the wrong memcg. Fix this by adding an earlier check on the radix_tree entry: it's inelegant to descend the tree twice, but swapping is not the fast path, and a better solution would need a pair (try+commit) of memcg calls, and a rework of shmem_replace_page() to keep out of the swapcache. We can use the added shmem_confirm_swap() function to replace the find_get_page+page_cache_release we were already doing on the error path. And add a comment on that -EEXIST: it seems a peculiar errno to be using, but originates from its use in radix_tree_insert(). [It can be surprising to see positive rss left in a memcg's memory.stat after all tasks have gone, since it is supposed to count anonymous but not shmem. Aside from sharing anon pages via fork with a task in some other memcg, it often happens after swapping: because a swap page can't be freed while under writeback, nor while locked. So it's not an error, and these residual pages are easily freed once pressure demands.] Signed-off-by: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Acked-by: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Cc: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Revert 4fb5ef08 ("tmpfs: support SEEK_DATA and SEEK_HOLE"). I believe it's correct, and it's been nice to have from rc1 to rc6; but as the original commit said: I don't know who actually uses SEEK_DATA or SEEK_HOLE, and whether it would be of any use to them on tmpfs. This code adds 92 lines and 752 bytes on x86_64 - is that bloat or worthwhile? Nobody asked for it, so I conclude that it's bloat: let's revert tmpfs to the dumb generic support for v3.5.

There is a bug in the below scenario for !CONFIG_MMU: 1. create a new file 2. mmap the file and write to it 3. read the file can't get the correct value Because sys_read() -> generic_file_aio_read() -> simple_readpage() -> clear_page() which causes the page to be zeroed. Add SetPageUptodate() to ramfs_nommu_expand_for_mapping() so that generic_file_aio_read() do not call simple_readpage().

Without this patch, if Device Tree is enabled the AB8500 RTC wouldn't get probed at all, as there is no reference to it from platform code. This patch ensures the driver is probed during normal DT start-up.
