c9e7cf27 ("workqueue: move busy_hash from global_cwq to
worker_pool") incorrectly converted is_chained_work() to use
get_gcwq() inside for_each_gcwq_cpu() while removing get_gcwq().

As cwq might not exist for all possible workqueue CPUs, @cwq can be
NULL and the following cwq deferences can lead to oops.

Fix it by using for_each_cwq_cpu() instead, which is the better one to
use anyway as we only need to check pools that the wq is associated
with.

Currently, __queue_work() chooses the pool to queue a work item to and
then determines cwq from the target wq and the chosen pool.  This is a
bit backwards in that we can determine cwq first and simply use
cwq->pool.  This way, we can skip get_std_worker_pool() in queueing
path which will be a hurdle when implementing custom worker pools.

Update __queue_work() such that it chooses the target cwq and then use
cwq->pool instead of the other way around.  While at it, add missing
{} in an if statement.

This patch doesn't introduce any functional changes.

tj: The original patch had two get_cwq() calls - the first to
    determine the pool by doing get_cwq(cpu, wq)->pool and the second
    to determine the matching cwq from get_cwq(pool->cpu, wq).
    Updated the function such that it chooses cwq instead of pool and
    removed the second call.  Rewrote the description.

get_work_pool_id() currently first obtains pool using get_work_pool()
and then return pool->id.  For an off-queue work item, this involves
obtaining pool ID from worker->data, performing idr_find() to find the
matching pool and then returning its pool->id which of course is the
same as the one which went into idr_find().

Just open code WORK_STRUCT_CWQ case and directly return pool ID from
work->data.

tj: The original patch dropped on-queue work item handling and renamed
    the function to offq_work_pool_id().  There isn't much benefit in
    doing so.  Handling it only requires a single if() and we need at
    least BUG_ON(), which is also a branch, even if we drop on-queue
    handling.  Open code WORK_STRUCT_CWQ case and keep the function in

As nr_running is likely to be accessed from other CPUs during
try_to_wake_up(), it was kept outside worker_pool; however, while less
frequent, other fields in worker_pool are accessed from other CPUs
for, e.g., non-reentrancy check.  Also, with recent pool related
changes, accessing nr_running matching the worker_pool isn't as simple
as it used to be.

Move nr_running inside worker_pool.  Keep it aligned to cacheline and
define CPU pools using DEFINE_PER_CPU_SHARED_ALIGNED().  This should
give at least the same cacheline behavior.

Currently, determining whether a work item is queued on a locked pool
involves somewhat convoluted memory barrier dancing.  It goes like the
following.

* When a work item is queued on a pool, work->data is updated before
  work->entry is linked to the pending list with a wmb() inbetween.

* When trying to determine whether a work item is currently queued on
  a pool pointed to by work->data, it locks the pool and looks at
  work->entry.  If work->entry is linked, we then do rmb() and then
  check whether work->data points to the current pool.

This works because, work->data can only point to a pool if it
currently is or were on the pool and,

* If it currently is on the pool, the tests would obviously succeed.

* It it left the pool, its work->entry was cleared under pool->lock,
  so if we're seeing non-empty work->entry, it has to be from the work
  item being linked on another pool.  Because work->data is updated
  before work->entry is linked with wmb() inbetween, work->data update
  from another pool is guaranteed to be visible if we do rmb() after
  seeing non-empty work->entry.  So, we either see empty work->entry
  or we see updated work->data pointin to another pool.

While this works, it's convoluted, to put it mildly.  With recent
updates, it's now guaranteed that work->data points to cwq only while
the work item is queued and that updating work->data to point to cwq
or back to pool is done under pool->lock, so we can simply test
whether work->data points to cwq which is associated with the
currently locked pool instead of the convoluted memory barrier
dancing.

This patch replaces the memory barrier based "are you still here,
really?" test with much simpler "does work->data points to me?" test -
if work->data points to a cwq which is associated with the currently
locked pool, the work item is guaranteed to be queued on the pool as
work->data can start and stop pointing to such cwq only under
pool->lock and the start and stop coincide with queue and dequeue.

We plan to use work->data pointing to cwq as the synchronization
invariant when determining whether a given work item is on a locked
pool or not, which requires work->data pointing to cwq only while the
work item is queued on the associated pool.

With delayed_work updated not to overload work->data for target
workqueue recording, the only case where we still have off-queue
work->data pointing to cwq is try_to_grab_pending() which doesn't
update work->data after stealing a queued work item.  There's no
reason for try_to_grab_pending() to not update work->data to point to
the pool instead of cwq, like the normal execution does.

This patch adds set_work_pool_and_keep_pending() which makes
work->data point to pool instead of cwq but keeps the pending bit
unlike set_work_pool_and_clear_pending() (surprise!).

After this patch, it's guaranteed that only queued work items point to
cwqs.

To avoid executing the same work item from multiple CPUs concurrently,
a work_struct records the last pool it was on in its ->data so that,
on the next queueing, the pool can be queried to determine whether the
work item is still executing or not.

A delayed_work goes through timer before actually being queued on the
target workqueue and the timer needs to know the target workqueue and
CPU.  This is currently achieved by modifying delayed_work->work.data
such that it points to the cwq which points to the target workqueue
and the last CPU the work item was on.  __queue_delayed_work()
extracts the last CPU from delayed_work->work.data and then combines
it with the target workqueue to create new work.data.

The only thing this rather ugly hack achieves is encoding the target
workqueue into delayed_work->work.data without using a separate field,
which could be a trade off one can make; unfortunately, this entangles
work->data management between regular workqueue and delayed_work code
by setting cwq pointer before the work item is actually queued and
becomes a hindrance for further improvements of work->data handling.

This can be easily made sane by adding a target workqueue field to
delayed_work.  While delayed_work is used widely in the kernel and
this does make it a bit larger (<5%), I think this is the right
trade-off especially given the prospect of much saner handling of
work->data which currently involves quite tricky memory barrier
dancing, and don't expect to see any measureable effect.

Add delayed_work->wq and drop the delayed_work->work.data overloading.

Currently, work_busy() first tests whether the work has a pool
associated with it and if not, considers it idle.  This works fine
even for delayed_work.work queued on timer, as __queue_delayed_work()
sets cwq on delayed_work.work - a queued delayed_work always has its
cwq and thus pool associated with it.

However, we're about to update delayed_work queueing and this won't
hold.  Update work_busy() such that it tests WORK_STRUCT_PENDING
before the associated pool.  This doesn't make any noticeable behavior
difference now.

As rescuers start with WORKER_PREP but never clear it, it's always

concurrency management even if PF_WQ_WORKER is set; however, unlike
normal workers, rescuers currently don't have its worker struct as

To avoid executing the same work item concurrenlty, workqueue hashes
currently busy workers according to their current work items and looks
up the the table when it wants to execute a new work item.  If there
already is a worker which is executing the new work item, the new item
is queued to the found worker so that it gets executed only after the
current execution finishes.

Unfortunately, a work item may be freed while being executed and thus
recycled for different purposes.  If it gets recycled for a different
work item and queued while the previous execution is still in
progress, workqueue may make the new work item wait for the old one
although the two aren't really related in any way.

In extreme cases, this false dependency may lead to deadlock although
it's extremely unlikely given that there aren't too many self-freeing
work item users and they usually don't wait for other work items.

To alleviate the problem, record the current work function in each
busy worker and match it together with the work item address in
find_worker_executing_work().  While this isn't complete, it ensures
that unrelated work items don't interact with each other and in the
very unlikely case where a twisted wq user triggers it, it's always
onto itself making the culprit easy to spot.

When compiling efivars.c the build fails with:

   CC      drivers/firmware/efivars.o
  drivers/firmware/efivars.c: In function ‘efivarfs_get_inode’:
  drivers/firmware/efivars.c:886:31: error: incompatible types when assigning to type ‘kgid_t’ from type ‘int’
  make[2]: *** [drivers/firmware/efivars.o] Error 1
  make[1]: *** [drivers/firmware/efivars.o] Error 2

Fix the build error by removing the duplicate initialization of i_uid and
i_gid inode_init_always has already initialized them to 0.

This build error is currently hidden by the fact that the x86
implementation of 'update_mmu_cache_pmd()' is a macro that doesn't use
its last argument, but commit b32967ff ("mm: numa: Add THP migration
for the NUMA working set scanning fault case") introduced a call with
the wrong third argument.

In the akpm tree, it causes this build error:

  mm/migrate.c: In function 'migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page_put':
  mm/migrate.c:1666:2: error: incompatible type for argument 3 of 'update_mmu_cache_pmd'
  arch/x86/include/asm/pgtable.h:792:20: note: expected 'struct pmd_t *' but argument is of type 'pmd_t'

Fix it.

There is absolutely no reason to crash the kernel when we have a
perfectly good return value already available to use for conveying
failure status.

Let's return an error code instead of crashing the kernel: that sounds
like a much better plan.
