This commit adds an indication of the state of the callback queue using a string of four characters following the "ql=" integer queue length. The first character is "N" if there are callbacks that have been queued that are not yet ready to be handled by the next grace period, or "." otherwise. The second character is "R" if there are callbacks queued that are ready to be handled by the next grace period, or "." otherwise. The third character is "W" if there are callbacks waiting for the current grace period, or "." otherwise. Finally, the fourth character is "D" if there are callbacks that have been handled by a prior grace period and are waiting to be invoked, or ".". Note that callbacks that are in the process of being invoked are not shown. These callbacks would have been removed from the rcu_data structure's list by rcu_do_batch() prior to being executed. (These callbacks are also not reflected in the "ql=" total, FWIW.) Also, document the new callback-queue trace information. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

If you are doing CPU hotplug operations, it is best not to have CPU-bound realtime tasks running CPU-bound on the outgoing CPU. So this commit makes per-CPU kthreads run at non-realtime priority during that time. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paul.mckenney@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

The scheduler has had some heartburn in the past when too many real-time kthreads were affinitied to the outgoing CPU. So, this commit lightens the load by forcing the per-rcu_node and the boost kthreads off of the outgoing CPU. Note that RCU's per-CPU kthread remains on the outgoing CPU until the bitter end, as it must in order to preserve correctness. Also avoid disabling hardirqs across calls to set_cpus_allowed_ptr(), given that this function can block. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paul.mckenney@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

Add priority boosting for TREE_PREEMPT_RCU, similar to that for TINY_PREEMPT_RCU. This is enabled by the default-off RCU_BOOST kernel parameter. The priority to which to boost preempted RCU readers is controlled by the RCU_BOOST_PRIO kernel parameter (defaulting to real-time priority 1) and the time to wait before boosting the readers who are blocking a given grace period is controlled by the RCU_BOOST_DELAY kernel parameter (defaulting to 500 milliseconds).

If RCU priority boosting is to be meaningful, callback invocation must be boosted in addition to preempted RCU readers. Otherwise, in presence of CPU real-time threads, the grace period ends, but the callbacks don't get invoked. If the callbacks don't get invoked, the associated memory doesn't get freed, so the system is still subject to OOM. But it is not reasonable to priority-boost RCU_SOFTIRQ, so this commit moves the callback invocations to a kthread, which can be boosted easily. Also add comments and properly synchronized all accesses to rcu_cpu_kthread_task, as suggested by Lai Jiangshan. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paul.mckenney@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

Commit d09b62df fixed grace-period synchronization, but left some smp_mb() invocations in rcu_process_callbacks() that are no longer needed, but sheer paranoia prevented them from being removed. This commit removes them and provides a proof of correctness in their absence. It also adds a memory barrier to rcu_report_qs_rsp() immediately before the update to rsp->completed in order to handle the theoretical possibility that the compiler or CPU might move massive quantities of code into a lock-based critical section. This also proves that the sheer paranoia was not entirely unjustified, at least from a theoretical point of view. In addition, the old dyntick-idle synchronization depended on the fact that grace periods were many milliseconds in duration, so that it could be assumed that no dyntick-idle CPU could reorder a memory reference across an entire grace period. Unfortunately for this design, the addition of expedited grace periods breaks this assumption, which has the unfortunate side-effect of requiring atomic operations in the functions that track dyntick-idle state for RCU. (There is some hope that the algorithms used in user-level RCU might be applied here, but some work is required to handle the NMIs that user-space applications can happily ignore. For the short term, better safe than sorry.) This proof assumes that neither compiler nor CPU will allow a lock acquisition and release to be reordered, as doing so can result in deadlock. The proof is as follows: 1. A given CPU declares a quiescent state under the protection of its leaf rcu_node's lock. 2. If there is more than one level of rcu_node hierarchy, the last CPU to declare a quiescent state will also acquire the ->lock of the next rcu_node up in the hierarchy, but only after releasing the lower level's lock. The acquisition of this lock clearly cannot occur prior to the acquisition of the leaf node's lock. 3. Step 2 repeats until we reach the root rcu_node structure. Please note again that only one lock is held at a time through this process. The acquisition of the root rcu_node's ->lock must occur after the release of that of the leaf rcu_node. 4. At this point, we set the ->completed field in the rcu_state structure in rcu_report_qs_rsp(). However, if the rcu_node hierarchy contains only one rcu_node, then in theory the code preceding the quiescent state could leak into the critical section. We therefore precede the update of ->completed with a memory barrier. All CPUs will therefore agree that any updates preceding any report of a quiescent state will have happened before the update of ->completed. 5. Regardless of whether a new grace period is needed, rcu_start_gp() will propagate the new value of ->completed to all of the leaf rcu_node structures, under the protection of each rcu_node's ->lock. If a new grace period is needed immediately, this propagation will occur in the same critical section that ->completed was set in, but courtesy of the memory barrier in #4 above, is still seen to follow any pre-quiescent-state activity. 6. When a given CPU invokes __rcu_process_gp_end(), it becomes aware of the end of the old grace period and therefore makes any RCU callbacks that were waiting on that grace period eligible for invocation. If this CPU is the same one that detected the end of the grace period, and if there is but a single rcu_node in the hierarchy, we will still be in the single critical section. In this case, the memory barrier in step #4 guarantees that all callbacks will be seen to execute after each CPU's quiescent state. On the other hand, if this is a different CPU, it will acquire the leaf rcu_node's ->lock, and will again be serialized after each CPU's quiescent state for the old grace period. On the strength of this proof, this commit therefore removes the memory barriers from rcu_process_callbacks() and adds one to rcu_report_qs_rsp(). The effect is to reduce the number of memory barriers by one and to reduce the frequency of execution from about once per scheduling tick per CPU to once per grace period. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

The RCU CPU stall warnings can now be controlled using the rcu_cpu_stall_suppress boot-time parameter or via the same parameter from sysfs. There is therefore no longer any reason to have kernel config parameters for this feature. This commit therefore removes the RCU_CPU_STALL_DETECTOR and RCU_CPU_STALL_DETECTOR_RUNNABLE kernel config parameters. The RCU_CPU_STALL_TIMEOUT parameter remains to allow the timeout to be tuned and the RCU_CPU_STALL_VERBOSE parameter remains to allow task-stall information to be suppressed if desired.

In particular, s_freeing_list needs to be initialized early, since it is used on some of the error paths when mounts fail. The mapping inode, for example, would be initialized and then free'd on an error path before s_freeing_list was initialized, but the inode drop operation needs the s_freeing_list to be set up. Normally you'd never see this, because not only is logfs fairly rare, but a successful mount will never have any issues.

The reason is that at some point init_memory_mapping is going to reach the pagetable pages area and map those pages too (mapping them as normal memory that falls in the range of addresses passed to init_memory_mapping as argument). Some of those pages are already pagetable pages (they are in the range pgt_buf_start-pgt_buf_end) therefore they are going to be mapped RO and everything is fine. Some of these pages are not pagetable pages yet (they fall in the range pgt_buf_end-pgt_buf_top; for example the page at pgt_buf_end) so they are going to be mapped RW. When these pages become pagetable pages and are hooked into the pagetable, xen will find that the guest has already a RW mapping of them somewhere and fail the operation. The reason Xen requires pagetables to be RO is that the hypervisor needs to verify that the pagetables are valid before using them. The validation operations are called "pinning" (more details in arch/x86/xen/mmu.c). In order to fix the issue we mark all the pages in the entire range pgt_buf_start-pgt_buf_top as RO, however when the pagetable allocation is completed only the range pgt_buf_start-pgt_buf_end is reserved by init_memory_mapping. Hence the kernel is going to crash as soon as one of the pages in the range pgt_buf_end-pgt_buf_top is reused (b/c those ranges are RO). For this reason, this function is introduced which is called _after_ the init_memory_mapping has completed (in a perfect world we would call this function from init_memory_mapping, but lets ignore that). Because we are called _after_ init_memory_mapping the pgt_buf_[start, end,top] have all changed to new values (b/c another init_memory_mapping is called). Hence, the first time we enter this function, we save away the pgt_buf_start value and update the pgt_buf_[end,top]. When we detect that the "old" pgt_buf_start through pgt_buf_end PFNs have been reserved (so memblock_x86_reserve_range has been called), we immediately set out to RW the "old" pgt_buf_end through pgt_buf_top. And then we update those "old" pgt_buf_[end|top] with the new ones so that we can redo this on the next pagetable. Acked-by: "H.

This is the second fix of the following symptom: UBIFS error (pid 34456): could not find an empty LEB which sometimes happens after power cuts when we mount the file-system - UBIFS refuses it with the above error message which comes from the 'ubifs_rcvry_gc_commit()' function. I can reproduce this using the integck test with the UBIFS power cut emulation enabled. Analysis of the problem. Currently UBIFS replay seeks the journal heads to the last _replayed_ bud. But the buds are replayed out-of-order, so the replay basically seeks journal heads to the "random" bud belonging to this head, and not to the _last_ one. The result of this is that the GC head may be seeked to a full LEB with no free space, or very little free space. And 'ubifs_rcvry_gc_commit()' tries to find a fully or mostly dirty LEB to match the current GC head (because we need to garbage-collect that dirty LEB at one go, because we do not have @c->gc_lnum). So 'ubifs_find_dirty_leb()' fails and we fall back to finding an empty LEB and also fail. As a result - recovery fails and mounting fails. This patch teaches the replay to initialize the GC heads exactly to the latest buds, i.e. the buds which have the largest sequence number in corresponding log reference nodes.

Currently UBIFS has a small optimization - it frees write-buffers when it is re-mounted from R/W mode to R/O mode. Of course, when it is mounted R/O, it does not allocate write-buffers as well. This optimization is nice but it leads to subtle problems and complications in recovery, which I can reproduce using the integck test. The symptoms are that after a power cut the file-system cannot be mounted if we first mount it R/O, and then re-mount R/W - 'ubifs_rcvry_gc_commit()' prints: UBIFS error (pid 34456): could not find an empty LEB Analysis of the problem. When mounting R/W, the reply process sets journal heads to buds [1], but when mounting R/O - it does not do this, because the write-buffers are not allocated. So 'ubifs_rcvry_gc_commit()' works completely differently for the same file-system but for the following 2 cases: 1. mounting R/W after a power cut and recover 2. mounting R/O after a power cut, re-mounting R/W and run deferred recovery In the former case, we have journal heads seeked to the a bud, in the latter case, they are non-seeked (wbuf->lnum == -1). So in the latter case we do not try to recover the GC LEB by garbage-collecting to the GC head, but we just try to find an empty LEB, and there may be no empty LEBs, so we just fail. On the other hand, in the former case (mount R/W), we are able to make a GC LEB (@c->gc_lnum) by garbage-collecting. Thus, let's remove this small nice optimization and always allocate write-buffers. This should not make too big difference - we have only 3 of them, each of max. write unit size, which is usually 2KiB. So this is about 6KiB of RAM for the typical case, and only when mounted R/O. [1]: Note, currently the replay process is setting (seeking) the journal heads to _some_ buds, not necessarily to the buds which had been the journal heads before the power cut happened. This will be fixed separately. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com> Cc: stable@kernel.org
