Austin reported a XFS deadlock/stall on RT where scheduled work gets
never exececuted and tasks are waiting for each other for ever.
The underlying problem is the modification of the RT code to the
handling of workers which are about to go to sleep. In mainline a
worker thread which goes to sleep wakes an idle worker if there is
more work to do. This happens from the guts of the schedule()
function. On RT this must be outside and the accessed data structures
are not protected against scheduling due to the spinlock to rtmutex
conversion. So the naive solution to this was to move the code outside
of the scheduler and protect the data structures by the pool
lock. That approach turned out to be a little naive as we cannot call
into that code when the thread blocks on a lock, as it is not allowed
to block on two locks in parallel. So we dont call into the worker
wakeup magic when the worker is blocked on a lock, which causes the
deadlock/stall observed by Austin and Mike.
Looking deeper into that worker code it turns out that the only
relevant data structure which needs to be protected is the list of
idle workers which can be woken up.
So the solution is to protect the list manipulation operations with
preempt_enable/disable pairs on RT and call unconditionally into the
worker code even when the worker is blocked on a lock. The preemption
protection is safe as there is nothing which can fiddle with the list
outside of thread context.

The worker accounting for cpu bound workers is plugged into the core
scheduler code and the wakeup code. This is not a hard requirement and
can be avoided by keeping track of the state in the workqueue code
itself.
Keep track of the sleeping state in the worker itself and call the
notifier before entering the core scheduler. There might be false
positives when the task is woken between that call and actually
scheduling, but that's not really different from scheduling and being
woken immediately after switching away. There is also no harm from
updating nr_running when the task returns from scheduling instead of
accounting it in the wakeup code.

Apparently, the softirq demon and the ata_piix IRQ handler were waiting
for each other to finish ending up in a livelock. After the below patch
was applied, the system no longer crashes.

There is no need for sched_rcu. The undocumented reason why sched_rcu
is used is to avoid a few explicit rcu_read_lock()/unlock() pairs by
abusing the fact that sched_rcu reader side critical sections are also
protected by preempt or irq disabled regions.

There is no need for sched_rcu. The undocumented reason why sched_rcu
is used is to avoid a few explicit rcu_read_lock()/unlock() pairs by
abusing the fact that sched_rcu reader side critical sections are also
protected by preempt or irq disabled regions.

commit 5bdfff96c69a4d5ab9c49e60abf9e070ecd2acbb upstream.
When a kworker should die, the kworkre is notified through WORKER_DIE
flag instead of kthread_should_stop(). This, IIRC, is primarily to
keep the test synchronized inside worker_pool lock. WORKER_DIE is
first set while holding pool->lock, the lock is dropped and
kthread_stop() is called.
Unfortunately, this means that there's a slight chance that the target
kworker may see WORKER_DIE before kthread_stop() finishes and exits
and frees the target task before or during kthread_stop().
Fix it by pinning the target task before setting WORKER_DIE and
putting it after kthread_stop() is done.
tj: Improved patch description and comment. Moved pinning above
WORKER_DIE for better signify what it's protecting.

commit 8a2b75384444488fc4f2cbb9f0921b6a0794838f upstream.
An ordered workqueue implements execution ordering by using single
pool_workqueue with max_active == 1. On a given pool_workqueue, work
items are processed in FIFO order and limiting max_active to 1
enforces the queued work items to be processed one by one.
Unfortunately, 4c16bd327c ("workqueue: implement NUMA affinity for
unbound workqueues") accidentally broke this guarantee by applying
NUMA affinity to ordered workqueues too. On NUMA setups, an ordered
workqueue would end up with separate pool_workqueues for different
nodes. Each pool_workqueue still limits max_active to 1 but multiple
work items may be executed concurrently and out of order depending on
which node they are queued to.
Fix it by using dedicated ordered_wq_attrs[] when creating ordered
workqueues. The new attrs match the unbound ones except that no_numa
is always set thus forcing all NUMA nodes to share the default
pool_workqueue.
While at it, add sanity check in workqueue creation path which
verifies that an ordered workqueues has only the default
pool_workqueue.

If !PREEMPT, a kworker running work items back to back can hog CPU.
This becomes dangerous when a self-requeueing work item which is
waiting for something to happen races against stop_machine. Such
self-requeueing work item would requeue itself indefinitely hogging
the kworker and CPU it's running on while stop_machine would wait for
that CPU to enter stop_machine while preventing anything else from
happening on all other CPUs. The two would deadlock.
Jamie Liu reports that this deadlock scenario exists around
scsi_requeue_run_queue() and libata port multiplier support, where one
port may exclude command processing from other ports. With the right
timing, scsi_requeue_run_queue() can end up requeueing itself trying
to execute an IO which is asked to be retried while another device has
an exclusive access, which in turn can't make forward progress due to
stop_machine.
Fix it by invoking cond_resched() after executing each work item.

I got 1. It should be 0, the reason is copy_workqueue_attrs() called
in apply_workqueue_attrs() doesn't copy no_numa field.
Fix it by making copy_workqueue_attrs() copy ->no_numa too. This
would also make get_unbound_pool() set a pool's ->no_numa attribute
according to the workqueue attributes used when the pool was created.
While harmelss, as ->no_numa isn't a pool attribute, this is a bit
confusing. Clear it explicitly.

It is false-positive lockdep report. In this sutiation,
the two "wfc"s of the two work_on_cpu() are different,
they are both on stack. flush_work() can't be deadlock.
To fix this, we need to avoid the lockdep checking in this case,
thus we instroduce a internal __flush_work() which skip the lockdep.

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.
After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.
This removes all the uses of the __cpuinit macros from C files in
the core kernel directories (kernel, init, lib, mm, and include)
that don't really have a specific maintainer.

Pull workqueue changes from Tejun Heo:
"Surprisingly, Lai and I didn't break too many things implementing
custom pools and stuff last time around and there aren't any follow-up
changes necessary at this point.
The only change in this pull request is Viresh's patches to make some
per-cpu workqueues to behave as unbound workqueues dependent on a boot
param whose default can be configured via a config option. This leads
to higher processing overhead / lower bandwidth as more work items are
bounced across CPUs; however, it can lead to noticeable powersave in
certain configurations - ~10% w/ idlish constant workload on a
big.LITTLE configuration according to Viresh.
This is because per-cpu workqueues interfere with how the scheduler
perceives whether or not each CPU is idle by forcing pinned tasks on
them, which makes the scheduler's power-aware scheduling decisions
less effective.
Its effectiveness is likely less pronounced on homogenous
configurations and this type of optimization can probably be made
automatic; however, the changes are pretty minimal and the affected
workqueues are clearly marked, so it's an easy gain for some
configurations for the time being with pretty unintrusive changes."

wq_numa_init()
wq_numa_init() builds per-node cpumasks which are later used to make
unbound workqueues NUMA-aware. The cpumasks are allocated using
alloc_cpumask_var_node() for all possible nodes. Unfortunately, on
machines with off-line nodes, this leads to NUMA-aware allocations on
existing bug offline nodes, which in turn triggers BUG in the memory
allocation code.
Fix it by using NUMA_NO_NODE for cpumask allocations for offline
nodes.

Commit 8425e3d5bdbe ("workqueue: inline trivial wrappers") changed
schedule_work() and schedule_delayed_work() to inline wrappers,
but these rely on some symbols that are EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL, while
the original functions were EXPORT_SYMBOL. This has the effect of
changing the licensing requirement for these functions and making
them unavailable to non GPL modules.
Make them available again by removing the restriction on the

Workqueues can be performance or power-oriented. Currently, most workqueues are
bound to the CPU they were created on. This gives good performance (due to cache
effects) at the cost of potentially waking up otherwise idle cores (Idle from
scheduler's perspective. Which may or may not be physically idle) just to
process some work. To save power, we can allow the work to be rescheduled on a
core that is already awake.
Workqueues created with the WQ_UNBOUND flag will allow some power savings.
However, we don't change the default behaviour of the system. To enable
power-saving behaviour, a new config option CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT needs to
be turned on. This option can also be overridden by the
workqueue.power_efficient boot parameter.
tj: Updated config description and comments. Renamed
CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT to CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT_DEFAULT.

df2d5ae499 ("workqueue: map an unbound workqueues to multiple per-node
pool_workqueues") made unbound workqueues to map to multiple per-node
pool_workqueues and accordingly updated workqueue_contested() so that,
for unbound workqueues, it maps the specified @cpu to the NUMA node
number to obtain the matching pool_workqueue to query the congested
state.
Before this change, workqueue_congested() ignored @cpu for unbound
workqueues as there was only one pool_workqueue and some users
(fscache) called it with WORK_CPU_UNBOUND. After the commit, this
causes the following oops as WORK_CPU_UNBOUND gets translated to
garbage by cpu_to_node().

One of the problems that arise when converting dedicated custom
threadpool to workqueue is that the shared worker pool used by workqueue
anonimizes each worker making it more difficult to identify what the
worker was doing on which target from the output of sysrq-t or debug
dump from oops, BUG() and friends.
This patch implements set_worker_desc() which can be called from any
workqueue work function to set its description. When the worker task is
dumped for whatever reason - sysrq-t, WARN, BUG, oops, lockdep assertion
and so on - the description will be printed out together with the
workqueue name and the worker function pointer.
The printing side is implemented by print_worker_info() which is called
from functions in task dump paths - sched_show_task() and
dump_stack_print_info(). print_worker_info() can be safely called on
any task in any state as long as the task struct itself is accessible.
It uses probe_*() functions to access worker fields. It may print
garbage if something went very wrong, but it wouldn't cause (another)
oops.
The description is currently limited to 24bytes including the
terminating \0. worker->desc_valid and workder->desc[] are added and
the 64 bytes marker which was already incorrect before adding the new
fields is moved to the correct position.
Here's an example dump with writeback updated to set the bdi name as
worker desc.

destroy_workqueue() performs several sanity checks before proceeding
with destruction of a workqueue. One of the checks verifies that
refcnt of each pwq (pool_workqueue) is over 1 as at that point there
should be no in-flight work items and the only holder of pwq refs is
the workqueue itself.
This worked fine as a workqueue used to hold only one reference to its
pwqs; however, since 4c16bd327c ("workqueue: implement NUMA affinity
for unbound workqueues"), a workqueue may hold multiple references to
its default pwq triggering this sanity check spuriously.
Fix it by not triggering the pwq->refcnt assertion on default pwqs.
An example spurious WARN trigger follows.

Writeback conversion to workqueue will be based on top of wq/for-3.10
branch to take advantage of custom attrs and NUMA support for unbound
workqueues. Mainline currently contains two commits which result in
non-trivial merge conflicts with wq/for-3.10 and because
block/for-3.10/core is based on v3.9-rc3 which contains one of the
conflicting commits, we need a pre-merge-window merge anyway. Let's
pull v3.9-rc5 into wq/for-3.10 so that the block tree doesn't suffer
from workqueue merge conflicts.
The two conflicts and their resolutions:
* e68035fb65 ("workqueue: convert to idr_alloc()") in mainline changes
worker_pool_assign_id() to use idr_alloc() instead of the old idr
interface. worker_pool_assign_id() goes through multiple locking
changes in wq/for-3.10 causing the following conflict.
static int worker_pool_assign_id(struct worker_pool *pool)
{
int ret;
<<<<<<< HEAD
lockdep_assert_held(&wq_pool_mutex);
do {
if (!idr_pre_get(&worker_pool_idr, GFP_KERNEL))
return -ENOMEM;
ret = idr_get_new(&worker_pool_idr, pool, &pool->id);
} while (ret == -EAGAIN);
=======
mutex_lock(&worker_pool_idr_mutex);
ret = idr_alloc(&worker_pool_idr, pool, 0, 0, GFP_KERNEL);
if (ret >= 0)
pool->id = ret;
mutex_unlock(&worker_pool_idr_mutex);
>>>>>>> c67bf5361e7e66a0ff1f4caf95f89347d55dfb89
return ret < 0 ? ret : 0;
}
We want locking from the former and idr_alloc() usage from the
latter, which can be combined to the following.
static int worker_pool_assign_id(struct worker_pool *pool)
{
int ret;
lockdep_assert_held(&wq_pool_mutex);
ret = idr_alloc(&worker_pool_idr, pool, 0, 0, GFP_KERNEL);
if (ret >= 0) {
pool->id = ret;
return 0;
}
return ret;
}
* eb2834285c ("workqueue: fix possible pool stall bug in
wq_unbind_fn()") updated wq_unbind_fn() such that it has single
larger for_each_std_worker_pool() loop instead of two separate loops
with a schedule() call inbetween. wq/for-3.10 renamed
pool->assoc_mutex to pool->manager_mutex causing the following
conflict (earlier function body and comments omitted for brevity).
static void wq_unbind_fn(struct work_struct *work)
{
...
spin_unlock_irq(&pool->lock);
<<<<<<< HEAD
mutex_unlock(&pool->manager_mutex);
}
=======
mutex_unlock(&pool->assoc_mutex);
>>>>>>> c67bf5361e7e66a0ff1f4caf95f89347d55dfb89
schedule();
<<<<<<< HEAD
for_each_cpu_worker_pool(pool, cpu)
=======
>>>>>>> c67bf5361e7e66a0ff1f4caf95f89347d55dfb89
atomic_set(&pool->nr_running, 0);
spin_lock_irq(&pool->lock);
wake_up_worker(pool);
spin_unlock_irq(&pool->lock);
}
}
The resolution is mostly trivial. We want the control flow of the
latter with the rename of the former.
static void wq_unbind_fn(struct work_struct *work)
{
...
spin_unlock_irq(&pool->lock);
mutex_unlock(&pool->manager_mutex);
schedule();
atomic_set(&pool->nr_running, 0);
spin_lock_irq(&pool->lock);
wake_up_worker(pool);
spin_unlock_irq(&pool->lock);
}

param to disable NUMA affinity
Unbound workqueues are now NUMA aware. Let's add some control knobs
and update sysfs interface accordingly.
* Add kernel param workqueue.numa_disable which disables NUMA affinity
globally.
* Replace sysfs file "pool_id" with "pool_ids" which contain
node:pool_id pairs. This change is userland-visible but "pool_id"
hasn't seen a release yet, so this is okay.
* Add a new sysf files "numa" which can toggle NUMA affinity on
individual workqueues. This is implemented as attrs->no_numa whichn
is special in that it isn't part of a pool's attributes. It only
affects how apply_workqueue_attrs() picks which pools to use.
After "pool_ids" change, first_pwq() doesn't have any user left.
Removed.

Currently, an unbound workqueue has single current, or first, pwq
(pool_workqueue) to which all new work items are queued. This often
isn't optimal on NUMA machines as workers may jump around across node
boundaries and work items get assigned to workers without any regard
to NUMA affinity.
This patch implements NUMA affinity for unbound workqueues. Instead
of mapping all entries of numa_pwq_tbl[] to the same pwq,
apply_workqueue_attrs() now creates a separate pwq covering the
intersecting CPUs for each NUMA node which has online CPUs in
@attrs->cpumask. Nodes which don't have intersecting possible CPUs
are mapped to pwqs covering whole @attrs->cpumask.
As CPUs come up and go down, the pool association is changed
accordingly. Changing pool association may involve allocating new
pools which may fail. To avoid failing CPU_DOWN, each workqueue
always keeps a default pwq which covers whole attrs->cpumask which is
used as fallback if pool creation fails during a CPU hotplug
operation.
This ensures that all work items issued on a NUMA node is executed on
the same node as long as the workqueue allows execution on the CPUs of
the node.
As this maps a workqueue to multiple pwqs and max_active is per-pwq,
this change the behavior of max_active. The limit is now per NUMA
node instead of global. While this is an actual change, max_active is
already per-cpu for per-cpu workqueues and primarily used as safety
mechanism rather than for active concurrency control. Concurrency is
usually limited from workqueue users by the number of concurrently
active work items and this change shouldn't matter much.
v2: Fixed pwq freeing in apply_workqueue_attrs() error path. Spotted
by Lai.
v3: The previous version incorrectly made a workqueue spanning
multiple nodes spread work items over all online CPUs when some of
its nodes don't have any desired cpus. Reimplemented so that NUMA
affinity is properly updated as CPUs go up and down. This problem
was spotted by Lai Jiangshan.
v4: destroy_workqueue() was putting wq->dfl_pwq and then clearing it;
however, wq may be freed at any time after dfl_pwq is put making
the clearing use-after-free. Clear wq->dfl_pwq before putting it.
v5: apply_workqueue_attrs() was leaking @tmp_attrs, @new_attrs and
@pwq_tbl after success. Fixed.
Retry loop in wq_update_unbound_numa_attrs() isn't necessary as
application of new attrs is excluded via CPU hotplug. Removed.
Documentation on CPU affinity guarantee on CPU_DOWN added.
All changes are suggested by Lai Jiangshan.

Currently, an unbound workqueue has only one "current" pool_workqueue
associated with it. It may have multple pool_workqueues but only the
first pool_workqueue servies new work items. For NUMA affinity, we
want to change this so that there are multiple current pool_workqueues
serving different NUMA nodes.
Introduce workqueue->numa_pwq_tbl[] which is indexed by NUMA node and
points to the pool_workqueue to use for each possible node. This
replaces first_pwq() in __queue_work() and workqueue_congested().
numa_pwq_tbl[] is currently initialized to point to the same
pool_workqueue as first_pwq() so this patch doesn't make any behavior
changes.

Move wq->flags and ->cpu_pwqs to the end of workqueue_struct and align
them to the cacheline. These two fields are used in the work item
issue path and thus hot. The scheduled NUMA affinity support will add
dispatch table at the end of workqueue_struct and relocating these two
fields will allow us hitting only single cacheline on hot paths.
Note that wq->pwqs isn't moved although it currently is being used in
the work item issue path for unbound workqueues. The dispatch table
mentioned above will replace its use in the issue path, so it will
become cold once NUMA support is implemented.

Currently, when exposing attrs of an unbound workqueue via sysfs, the

The planned NUMA affinity support will make unbound workqueues make
