This reverts commit ca10d851. The commit allowed workqueue_apply_unbound_cpumask() to clear __WQ_ORDERED on now removed implicitly ordered workqueues. This was incorrect in that system-wide config change shouldn't break ordering properties of all workqueues. The reason why apply_workqueue_attrs() path was allowed to do so was because it was targeting the specific workqueue - either the workqueue had WQ_SYSFS set or the workqueue user specifically tried to change max_active, both of which indicate that the workqueue doesn't need to be ordered. The implicitly ordered workqueue promotion was removed by the previous commit 3bc1e711 ("workqueue: Don't implicitly make UNBOUND workqueues w/ @max_active==1 ordered"). However, it didn't update this path and broke build. Let's revert the commit which was incorrect in the first place which also fixes build.

5c0338c6 ("workqueue: restore WQ_UNBOUND/max_active==1 to be ordered") automoatically promoted UNBOUND workqueues w/ @max_active==1 to ordered workqueues because UNBOUND workqueues w/ @max_active==1 used to be the way to create ordered workqueues and the new NUMA support broke it. These problems can be subtle and the fact that they can only trigger on NUMA machines made them even more difficult to debug. However, overloading the UNBOUND allocation interface this way creates other issues. It's difficult to tell whether a given workqueue actually needs to be ordered and users that legitimately want a min concurrency level wq unexpectedly gets an ordered one instead. With planned UNBOUND workqueue udpates to improve execution locality and more prevalence of chiplet designs which can benefit from such improvements, this isn't a state we wanna be in forever. There aren't that many UNBOUND w/ @max_active==1 users in the tree and the preceding patches audited all and converted them to alloc_ordered_workqueue() as appropriate. This patch removes the implicit promotion of UNBOUND w/ @max_active==1 workqueues to ordered ones. v2: v1 patch incorrectly dropped !list_empty(&wq->pwqs) condition in apply_workqueue_attrs_locked() which spuriously triggers WARNING and fails workqueue creation.

The only generic interface to execute asynchronously in the BH context is tasklet; however, it's marked deprecated and has some design flaws such as the execution code accessing the tasklet item after the execution is complete which can lead to subtle use-after-free in certain usage scenarios and less-developed flush and cancel mechanisms. This patch implements BH workqueues which share the same semantics and features of regular workqueues but execute their work items in the softirq context. As there is always only one BH execution context per CPU, none of the concurrency management mechanisms applies and a BH workqueue can be thought of as a convenience wrapper around softirq. Except for the inability to sleep while executing and lack of max_active adjustments, BH workqueues and work items should behave the same as regular workqueues and work items. Currently, the execution is hooked to tasklet[_hi]. However, the goal is to convert all tasklet users over to BH workqueues. Once the conversion is complete, tasklet can be removed and BH workqueues can directly take over the tasklet softirqs. system_bh[_highpri]_wq are added. As queue-wide flushing doesn't exist in tasklet, all existing tasklet users should be able to use the system BH workqueues without creating their own workqueues. v3: - Add missing interrupt.h include. v2: - Instead of using tasklets, hook directly into its softirq action functions - tasklet[_hi]_action(). This is slightly cheaper and closer to the eventual code structure we want to arrive at. Suggested by Lai. - Lai also pointed out several places which need NULL worker->task handling or can use clarification. Updated.

These changes are in preparation of BH workqueue which will execute work items from BH context. - Update lock and RCU depth checks in process_one_work() so that it remembers and checks against the starting depths and prints out the depth changes. - Factor out lockdep annotations in the flush paths into touch_{wq|work}_lockdep_map(). The work->lockdep_map touching is moved from __flush_work() to its callee - start_flush_work(). This brings it closer to the wq counterpart and will allow testing the associated wq's flags which will be needed to support BH workqueues. This is not expected to cause any functional changes.

System workqueues are allocated early during boot from workqueue_init_early(). While allocating unbound workqueues, wq_update_node_max_active() is invoked from apply_workqueue_attrs() and accesses NUMA topology to initialize wq->node_nr_active[].max. However, topology information may not be set up at this point. wq_update_node_max_active() is explicitly invoked from workqueue_init_topology() later when topology information is known to be available. This doesn't seem to crash anything but it's doing useless work with dubious data. Let's skip the premature and duplicate node_max_active updates by initializing the field to WQ_DFL_MIN_ACTIVE on allocation and making wq_update_node_max_active() noop until workqueue_init_topology().

When __queue_delayed_work() is called, it chooses a cpu for handling the timer interrupt. As of today, it will pick either the cpu passed as parameter or the last cpu used for this. This is not good if a system does use CPU isolation, because it can take away some valuable cpu time to: 1 - deal with the timer interrupt, 2 - schedule-out the desired task, 3 - queue work on a random workqueue, and 4 - schedule the desired task back to the cpu. So to fix this, during __queue_delayed_work(), if cpu isolation is in place, pick a random non-isolated cpu to handle the timer interrupt. As an optimization, if the current cpu is not isolated, use it instead of looking for another candidate. Signed-off-by: Leonardo Bras <leobras@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

A pool_workqueue (pwq) represents the connection between a workqueue and a worker_pool. One of the roles that a pwq plays is enforcement of the max_active concurrency limit. Before 636b927e ("workqueue: Make unbound workqueues to use per-cpu pool_workqueues"), there was one pwq per each CPU for per-cpu workqueues and per each NUMA node for unbound workqueues, which was a natural result of per-cpu workqueues being served by per-cpu pools and unbound by per-NUMA pools. In terms of max_active enforcement, this was, while not perfect, workable. For per-cpu workqueues, it was fine. For unbound, it wasn't great in that NUMA machines would get max_active that's multiplied by the number of nodes but didn't cause huge problems because NUMA machines are relatively rare and the node count is usually pretty low. However, cache layouts are more complex now and sharing a worker pool across a whole node didn't really work well for unbound workqueues. Thus, a series of commits culminating on 8639eceb ("workqueue: Make unbound workqueues to use per-cpu pool_workqueues") implemented more flexible affinity mechanism for unbound workqueues which enables using e.g. last-level-cache aligned pools. In the process, 636b927e ("workqueue: Make unbound workqueues to use per-cpu pool_workqueues") made unbound workqueues use per-cpu pwqs like per-cpu workqueues. While the change was necessary to enable more flexible affinity scopes, this came with the side effect of blowing up the effective max_active for unbound workqueues. Before, the effective max_active for unbound workqueues was multiplied by the number of nodes. After, by the number of CPUs. 636b927e ("workqueue: Make unbound workqueues to use per-cpu pool_workqueues") claims that this should generally be okay. It is okay for users which self-regulates concurrency level which are the vast majority; however, there are enough use cases which actually depend on max_active to prevent the level of concurrency from going bonkers including several IO handling workqueues that can issue a work item for each in-flight IO. With targeted benchmarks, the misbehavior can easily be exposed as reported in http://lkml.kernel.org/r/dbu6wiwu3sdhmhikb2w6lns7b27gbobfavhjj57kwi2quafgwl@htjcc5oikcr3. Unfortunately, there is no way to express what these use cases need using per-cpu max_active. A CPU may issue most of in-flight IOs, so we don't want to set max_active too low but as soon as we increase max_active a bit, we can end up with unreasonable number of in-flight work items when many CPUs issue IOs at the same time. ie. The acceptable lowest max_active is higher than the acceptable highest max_active. Ideally, max_active for an unbound workqueue should be system-wide so that the users can regulate the total level of concurrency regardless of node and cache layout. The reasons workqueue hasn't implemented that yet are: - One max_active enforcement decouples from pool boundaires, chaining execution after a work item finishes requires inter-pool operations which would require lock dancing, which is nasty. - Sharing a single nr_active count across the whole system can be pretty expensive on NUMA machines. - Per-pwq enforcement had been more or less okay while we were using per-node pools. It looks like we no longer can avoid decoupling max_active enforcement from pool boundaries. This patch implements system-wide nr_active mechanism with the following design characteristics: - To avoid sharing a single counter across multiple nodes, the configured max_active is split across nodes according to the proportion of each workqueue's online effective CPUs per node. e.g. A node with twice more online effective CPUs will get twice higher portion of max_active. - Workqueue used to be able to process a chain of interdependent work items which is as long as max_active. We can't do this anymore as max_active is distributed across the nodes. Instead, a new parameter min_active is introduced which determines the minimum level of concurrency within a node regardless of how max_active distribution comes out to be. It is set to the smaller of max_active and WQ_DFL_MIN_ACTIVE which is 8. This can lead to higher effective max_weight than configured and also deadlocks if a workqueue was depending on being able to handle chains of interdependent work items that are longer than 8. I believe these should be fine given that the number of CPUs in each NUMA node is usually higher than 8 and work item chain longer than 8 is pretty unlikely. However, if these assumptions turn out to be wrong, we'll need to add an interface to adjust min_active. - Each unbound wq has an array of struct wq_node_nr_active which tracks per-node nr_active. When its pwq wants to run a work item, it has to obtain the matching node's nr_active. If over the node's max_active, the pwq is queued on wq_node_nr_active->pending_pwqs. As work items finish, the completion path round-robins the pending pwqs activating the first inactive work item of each, which involves some pool lock dancing and kicking other pools. It's not the simplest code but doesn't look too bad. v4: - wq_adjust_max_active() updated to invoke wq_update_node_max_active(). - wq_adjust_max_active() is now protected by wq->mutex instead of wq_pool_mutex. v3: - wq_node_max_active() used to calculate per-node max_active on the fly based on system-wide CPU online states. Lai pointed out that this can lead to skewed distributions for workqueues with restricted cpumasks. Update the max_active distribution to use per-workqueue effective online CPU counts instead of system-wide and cache the calculation results in node_nr_active->max. v2: - wq->min/max_active now uses WRITE/READ_ONCE() as suggested by Lai.

Currently, for both percpu and unbound workqueues, max_active applies per-cpu, which is a recent change for unbound workqueues. The change for unbound workqueues was a significant departure from the previous behavior of per-node application. It made some use cases create undesirable number of concurrent work items and left no good way of fixing them. To address the problem, workqueue is implementing a NUMA node segmented global nr_active mechanism, which will be explained further in the next patch. As a preparation, this patch introduces struct wq_node_nr_active. It's a data structured allocated for each workqueue and NUMA node pair and currently only tracks the workqueue's number of active work items on the node. This is split out from the next patch to make it easier to understand and review. Note that there is an extra wq_node_nr_active allocated for the invalid node nr_node_ids which is used to track nr_active for pools which don't have NUMA node associated such as the default fallback system-wide pool. This doesn't cause any behavior changes visible to userland yet. The next patch will expand to implement the control mechanism on top. v4: - Fixed out-of-bound access when freeing per-cpu workqueues. v3: - Use flexible array for wq->node_nr_active as suggested by Lai. v2: - wq->max_active now uses WRITE/READ_ONCE() as suggested by Lai. - Lai pointed out that pwq_tryinc_nr_active() incorrectly dropped pwq->max_active check. Restored. As the next patch replaces the max_active enforcement mechanism, this doesn't change the end result.

The planned shared nr_active handling for unbound workqueues will make pwq_dec_nr_active() sometimes drop the pool lock temporarily to acquire other pool locks, which is necessary as retirement of an nr_active count from one pool may need kick off an inactive work item in another pool. This patch moves pwq_dec_nr_in_flight() call in try_to_grab_pending() to the end of work item handling so that work item state changes stay atomic. process_one_work() which is the other user of pwq_dec_nr_in_flight() already calls it at the end of work item handling.

wq->cpu_pwq is RCU protected but wq->dfl_pwq isn't. This is okay because currently wq->dfl_pwq is used only accessed to install it into wq->cpu_pwq which doesn't require RCU access. However, we want to be able to access wq->dfl_pwq under RCU in the future to access its __pod_cpumask and the code can be made easier to read by making the two pwq fields behave in the same way. - Make wq->dfl_pwq RCU protected. - Add unbound_pwq_slot() and unbound_pwq() which can access both ->dfl_pwq and ->cpu_pwq.

wq_adjust_max_active() needs to activate work items after max_active is increased. Previously, it did that by visiting each pwq once activating all that could be activated. While this makes sense with per-pwq nr_active, nr_active will be shared across multiple pwqs for unbound wqs. Then, we'd want to round-robin through pwqs to be fairer.

__queue_work(), pwq_dec_nr_in_flight() and wq_adjust_max_active() were open-coding nr_active handling, which is fine given that the operations are trivial. However, the planned unbound nr_active update will make them more complicated, so let's move them into helpers. - pwq_tryinc_nr_active() is added. It increments nr_active if under max_active limit and return a boolean indicating whether inc was successful. Note that the function is structured to accommodate future changes. __queue_work() is updated to use the new helper. - pwq_activate_first_inactive() is updated to use pwq_tryinc_nr_active() and thus no longer assumes that nr_active is under max_active and returns a boolean to indicate whether a work item has been activated. - wq_adjust_max_active() no longer tests directly whether a work item can be activated. Instead, it's updated to use the return value of pwq_activate_first_inactive() to tell whether a work item has been activated. - nr_active decrement and activating the first inactive work item is factored into pwq_dec_nr_active(). v3: - WARN_ON_ONCE(!WORK_STRUCT_INACTIVE) added to __pwq_activate_work() as now we're calling the function unconditionally from pwq_activate_first_inactive(). v2: - wq->max_active now uses WRITE/READ_ONCE() as suggested by Lai.

max_active is a workqueue-wide setting and the configured value is stored in wq->saved_max_active; however, the effective value was stored in pwq->max_active. While this is harmless, it makes max_active update process more complicated and gets in the way of the planned max_active semantic updates for unbound workqueues. This patches moves pwq->max_active to wq->max_active. This simplifies the code and makes freezing and noop max_active updates cheaper too. No user-visible behavior change is intended. As wq->max_active is updated while holding wq mutex but read without any locking, it now uses WRITE/READ_ONCE(). A new locking locking rule WO is added for it. v2: wq->max_active now uses WRITE/READ_ONCE() as suggested by Lai.

workqueue is collecting different sorts of enums into a single unnamed enum type which can increase confusion around enum width. Also, unnamed enums can't be accessed from BPF. Let's break up enum definitions according to their purposes and give them type names. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

After creating a new worker, create_worker() is calling kick_pool() to wake up the new worker task. However, as kick_pool() doesn't do anything if there is no work pending, it also calls wake_up_process() explicitly. There's no reason to call kick_pool() at all. wake_up_process() is enough by itself. Drop the unnecessary kick_pool() call. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

- Factor out wq_type_str() - Improve formatting so that it adapts to actual field widths. - Drop duplicate information from "Workqueue -> rescuer" section. If anything, we should add more rescuer-specific info - e.g. the number of work items rescued. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Juri Lelli <juri.lelli@redhat.com>

Currently the workqueue just checks the atomic and locking states after work execution ends. However, sometimes, a work item may not unlock rcu after acquiring rcu_read_lock(). And as a result, it would cause rcu stall, but the rcu stall warning can not dump the work func, because the work has finished. In order to quickly discover those works that do not call rcu_read_unlock() after rcu_read_lock(), add the rcu lock check. Use rcu_preempt_depth() to check the work's rcu status. Normally, this value is 0. If this value is bigger than 0, it means the work are still holding rcu lock. If so, print err info and the work func. tj: Reworded the description for clarity. Minor formatting tweak.

At the time they are created unbound workqueues rescuers currently use cpu_possible_mask as their affinity, but this can be too wide in case a workqueue unbound mask has been set as a subset of cpu_possible_mask.
