From b93e0b8fa819c3d5641794ed9a07e643416aa0fd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Frederic Weisbecker Date: Fri, 23 May 2014 18:10:21 +0200 Subject: irq_work: Split raised and lazy lists An irq work can be handled from two places: from the tick if the work carries the "lazy" flag and the tick is periodic, or from a self IPI. We merge all these works in a single list and we use some per cpu latch to avoid raising a self-IPI when one is already pending. Now we could do away with this ugly latch if only the list was only made of non-lazy works. Just enqueueing a work on the empty list would be enough to know if we need to raise an IPI or not. Also we are going to implement remote irq work queuing. Then the per CPU latch will need to become atomic in the global scope. That's too bad because, here as well, just enqueueing a work on an empty list of non-lazy works would be enough to know if we need to raise an IPI or not. So lets take a way out of this: split the works in two distinct lists, one for the works that can be handled by the next tick and another one for those handled by the IPI. Just checking if the latter is empty when we queue a new work is enough to know if we need to raise an IPI.

However its code is mostly ready to run remote callbacks and we have some potential user. The full nohz subsystem currently open codes its own remote irq work on top of the scheduler ipi when it wants a CPU to reevaluate its next tick. However this ad hoc solution bloats the scheduler IPI. Lets just extend the irq work subsystem to support remote queuing on top of the generic SMP IPI to handle this kind of user. This shouldn't add noticeable overhead. Suggested-by: Peter Zijlstra Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Andrew Morton Cc: Eric Dumazet Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Kevin Hilman Cc: Paul E.

This is currently performed through the scheduler IPI. Meanwhile this happens at the cost of off-topic workarounds in that fast path to make it call irq_exit(). As we plan to remove this hack off the scheduler IPI, lets use the nohz full kick instead. Pretty much any IPI fits for that job as long at it calls irq_exit(). The nohz full kick just happens to be handy and readily available here. If it happens to be too much an overkill in the future, we can still turn that timer kick into an empty IPI.

Meanwhile when a new task gets enqueued, the CPU must be notified so that it can restart its tick to maintain local fairness and other accounting details. This notification is performed by way of an IPI. Then when the target receives the IPI, we expect it to see the new value of rq->nr_running. Hence the following ordering scenario: CPU 0 CPU 1 write rq->running get IPI smp_wmb() smp_rmb() send IPI read rq->nr_running But Paul Mckenney says that nowadays IPIs imply a full barrier on all architectures. So we can safely remove this pair and rely on the implicit barriers that come along IPI send/receive. Lets just comment on this new assumption.
