After a NOHZ idle sleep the timer wheel must be forwarded to current jiffies. There might be expired timers so the current code loops and checks the expired buckets for timers. This can take quite some time for long NOHZ idle periods. The pending bitmask in the timer base allows us to do a quick search for the next expiring timer and therefore a fast forward of the base time which prevents pointless long lasting loops. For a 3 seconds idle sleep this reduces the catchup time from ~1ms to 5us.

The current timer wheel has some drawbacks: 1) Cascading: Cascading can be an unbound operation and is completely pointless in most cases because the vast majority of the timer wheel timers are canceled or rearmed before expiration. (They are used as timeout safeguards, not as real timers to measure time.) 2) No fast lookup of the next expiring timer: In NOHZ scenarios the first timer soft interrupt after a long NOHZ period must fast forward the base time to the current value of jiffies. As we have no way to find the next expiring timer fast, the code loops linearly and increments the base time one by one and checks for expired timers in each step. This causes unbound overhead spikes exactly in the moment when we should wake up as fast as possible. After a thorough analysis of real world data gathered on laptops, workstations, webservers and other machines (thanks Chris!) I came to the conclusion that the current 'classic' timer wheel implementation can be modified to address the above issues. The vast majority of timer wheel timers is canceled or rearmed before expiry. Most of them are timeouts for networking and other I/O tasks. The nature of timeouts is to catch the exception from normal operation (TCP ack timed out, disk does not respond, etc.). For these kinds of timeouts the accuracy of the timeout is not really a concern. Timeouts are very often approximate worst-case values and in case the timeout fires, we already waited for a long time and performance is down the drain already. The few timers which actually expire can be split into two categories: 1) Short expiry times which expect halfways accurate expiry 2) Long term expiry times are inaccurate today already due to the batching which is done for NOHZ automatically and also via the set_timer_slack() API. So for long term expiry timers we can avoid the cascading property and just leave them in the less granular outer wheels until expiry or cancelation. Timers which are armed with a timeout larger than the wheel capacity are no longer cascaded. We expire them with the longest possible timeout (6+ days). We have not observed such timeouts in our data collection, but at least we handle them, applying the rule of the least surprise. To avoid extending the wheel levels for HZ=1000 so we can accomodate the longest observed timeouts (5 days in the network conntrack code) we reduce the first level granularity on HZ=1000 to 4ms, which effectively is the same as the HZ=250 behaviour. From our data analysis there is nothing which relies on that 1ms granularity and as a side effect we get better batching and timer locality for the networking code as well. Contrary to the classic wheel the granularity of the next wheel is not the capacity of the first wheel. The granularities of the wheels are in the currently chosen setting 8 times the granularity of the previous wheel. So for HZ=250 we end up with the following granularity levels: Level Offset Granularity Range 0 0 4 ms 0 ms - 252 ms 1 64 32 ms 256 ms - 2044 ms (256ms - ~2s) 2 128 256 ms 2048 ms - 16380 ms (~2s - ~16s) 3 192 2048 ms (~2s) 16384 ms - 131068 ms (~16s - ~2m) 4 256 16384 ms (~16s) 131072 ms - 1048572 ms (~2m - ~17m) 5 320 131072 ms (~2m) 1048576 ms - 8388604 ms (~17m - ~2h) 6 384 1048576 ms (~17m) 8388608 ms - 67108863 ms (~2h - ~18h) 7 448 8388608 ms (~2h) 67108864 ms - 536870911 ms (~18h - ~6d) That's a worst case inaccuracy of 12.5% for the timers which are queued at the beginning of a level. So the new wheel concept addresses the old issues: 1) Cascading is avoided completely 2) By keeping the timers in the bucket until expiry/cancelation we can track the buckets which have timers enqueued in a bucket bitmap and therefore can look up the next expiring timer very fast and O(1). A further benefit of the concept is that the slack calculation which is done on every timer start is no longer necessary because the granularity levels provide natural batching already. Our extensive testing with various loads did not show any performance degradation vs. the current wheel implementation. This patch does not address the 'fast lookup' issue as we wanted to make sure that there is no regression introduced by the wheel redesign. The optimizations are in follow up patches. This patch contains fixes from Anna-Maria Gleixner and Richard Cochran.

We want to move the timer migration logic from a 'push' to a 'pull' model. Under the current 'push' model pinned timers are handled via a runtime API variant: mod_timer_pinned(). The 'pull' model requires us to store the pinned attribute of a timer in the timer_list structure itself, as a new TIMER_PINNED bit in timer->flags. This flag must be set at initialization time and the timer APIs recognize the flag. This patch: - Implements the new flag and associated new-style initialization methods - makes mod_timer() recognize new-style pinned timers, - and adds some migration helper facility to allow step by step conversion of old-style to new-style pinned timers.

overlay needs underlying fs to support d_type. Recently I put in a patch in to detect this condition and started failing mount if underlying fs did not support d_type. But this breaks existing configurations over kernel upgrade. Those who are running docker (partially broken configuration) with xfs not supporting d_type, are surprised that after kernel upgrade docker does not run anymore. https://github.com/docker/docker/issues/22937#issuecomment-229881315 So instead of erroring out, detect broken configuration and warn about it. This should allow existing docker setups to continue working after kernel upgrade.

The following testcase may result in a page table entries with a invalid CCA field being generated: static void *bindstack; static int sysrqfd; static void protect_low(int protect) { mprotect(bindstack, BINDSTACK_SIZE, protect); } static void sigbus_handler(int signal, siginfo_t * info, void *context) { void *addr = info->si_addr; write(sysrqfd, "x", 1); printf("sigbus, fault address %p (should not happen, but might)\n", addr); abort(); } static void run_bind_test(void) { unsigned int *p = bindstack; p[0] = 0xf001f001; write(sysrqfd, "x", 1); /* Set trap on access to p[0] */ protect_low(PROT_NONE); write(sysrqfd, "x", 1); /* Clear trap on access to p[0] */ protect_low(PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE | PROT_EXEC); write(sysrqfd, "x", 1); /* Check the contents of p[0] */ if (p[0] != 0xf001f001) { write(sysrqfd, "x", 1); /* Reached, but shouldn't be */ printf("badness, shouldn't happen but does\n"); abort(); } } int main(void) { struct sigaction sa; sysrqfd = open("/proc/sysrq-trigger", O_WRONLY); if (sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, NULL, &sa.sa_mask)) { perror("sigprocmask"); return 0; } sa.sa_sigaction = sigbus_handler; sa.sa_flags = SA_SIGINFO | SA_NODEFER | SA_RESTART; if (sigaction(SIGBUS, &sa, NULL)) { perror("sigaction"); return 0; } bindstack = mmap(NULL, BINDSTACK_SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE | PROT_EXEC, MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0); if (bindstack == MAP_FAILED) { perror("mmap bindstack"); return 0; } printf("bindstack: %p\n", bindstack); run_bind_test(); printf("done\n"); return 0; } There are multiple ingredients for this: 1) PAGE_NONE is defined to _CACHE_CACHABLE_NONCOHERENT, which is CCA 3 on all platforms except SB1 where it's CCA 5. 2) _page_cachable_default must have bits set which are not set _CACHE_CACHABLE_NONCOHERENT. 3) Either the defective version of pte_modify for XPA or the standard version must be in used. However pte_modify for the 36 bit address space support is no affected. In that case additional bits in the final CCA mode may generate an invalid value for the CCA field. On the R10000 system where this was tracked down for example a CCA 7 has been observed, which is Uncached Accelerated. Fixed by: 1) Using the proper CCA mode for PAGE_NONE just like for all the other PAGE_* pte/pmd bits. 2) Fix the two affected variants of pte_modify. Further code inspection also shows the same issue to exist in pmd_modify which would affect huge page systems. Issue in pte_modify tracked down by Alastair Bridgewater, PAGE_NONE and pmd_modify issue found by me. The history of this goes back beyond Linus' git history. Chris Dearman's commit 35133692 ("[MIPS] Allow setting of the cache attribute at run time.") missed the opportunity to fix this but it was originally introduced in lmo commit d523832cf12007b3242e50bb77d0c9e63e0b6518 ("Missing from last commit.") and 32cc38229ac7538f2346918a09e75413e8861f87 ("New configuration option CONFIG_MIPS_UNCACHED.")

For example changing the alignment from 2M to 1G may silently revert to 2M if that value is currently stored on media. 3/ A fix from Eric for an xfstests failure in dax.
