While renamed to pod, the code still assumes that the pods are defined by NUMA boundaries. Let's generalize it: * workqueue_attrs->affn_scope is added. Each enum represents the type of boundaries that define the pods. There are currently two scopes - WQ_AFFN_NUMA and WQ_AFFN_SYSTEM. The former is the same behavior as before - one pod per NUMA node. The latter defines one global pod across the whole system. * struct wq_pod_type is added which describes how pods are configured for each affnity scope. For each pod, it lists the member CPUs and the preferred NUMA node for memory allocations. The reverse mapping from CPU to pod is also available. * wq_pod_enabled is dropped. Pod is now always enabled. The previously disabled behavior is now implemented through WQ_AFFN_SYSTEM. * get_unbound_pool() wants to determine the NUMA node to allocate memory from for the new pool. The variables are renamed from node to pod but the logic still assumes they're one and the same. Clearly distinguish them - walk the WQ_AFFN_NUMA pods to find the matching pod and then use the pod's NUMA node. * wq_calc_pod_cpumask() was taking @pod but assumed that it was the NUMA node. Take @cpu instead and determine the cpumask to use from the pod_type matching @attrs. * apply_wqattrs_prepare() is update to return ERR_PTR() on error instead of NULL so that it can indicate -EINVAL on invalid affinity scopes. This patch allows CPUs to be grouped into pods however desired per type. While this patch causes some internal behavior changes, nothing material should change for workqueue users. v2: Trigger WARN_ON_ONCE() in wqattrs_pod_type() if affn_scope is WQ_AFFN_NR_TYPES which indicates that the function is called with a worker_pool's attrs instead of a workqueue's.

workqueue_attrs can be used for both workqueues and worker_pools. However, some fields, currently only ->ordered, only apply to workqueues and should be cleared to the default / invalid values. Currently, an unbound workqueue explicitly clears attrs->ordered in get_unbound_pool() after copying the source workqueue attrs, while per-cpu workqueues rely on the fact that zeroing on allocation gives us the desired default value for pool->attrs->ordered. This is fragile. Let's add wqattrs_clear_for_pool() which clears attrs->ordered and is called from both init_worker_pool() and get_unbound_pool(). This will ease adding more workqueue-only attrs fields. In get_unbound_pool(), pool->node initialization is moved upwards for readability. This shouldn't cause any behavior changes.

For an unbound pool, multiple cpumasks are involved. U: The user-specified cpumask (may be filtered with cpu_possible_mask). A: The actual cpumask filtered by wq_unbound_cpumask. If the filtering leaves no CPU, wq_unbound_cpumask is used. P: Per-pod subsets of #A. wq->attrs stores #U, wq->dfl_pwq->pool->attrs->cpumask #A, and wq->cpu_pwq[CPU]->pool->attrs->cpumask #P. wq_update_pod() is called to update per-pod pwq's during CPU hotplug. To calculate the new #P for each workqueue, it needs to call wq_calc_pod_cpumask() with @attrs that contains #A. Currently, wq_update_pod() achieves this by calling wq_calc_pod_cpumask() with wq->dfl_pwq->pool->attrs. This is rather fragile because we're calling wq_calc_pod_cpumask() with @attrs of a worker_pool rather than the workqueue's actual attrs when what we want to calculate is the workqueue's cpumask on the pod. While this works fine currently, future changes will add fields which are used differently between workqueues and worker_pools and this subtlety will bite us. This patch factors out #U -> #A calculation from apply_wqattrs_prepare() into wqattrs_actualize_cpumask and updates wq_update_pod() to copy wq->unbound_attrs and use the new helper to obtain #A freshly instead of abusing wq->dfl_pwq->pool_attrs. This shouldn't cause any behavior changes in the current code.

During boot, to initialize unbound CPU pods, wq_pod_init() was called from workqueue_init(). This is early enough for NUMA nodes to be set up but before SMP is brought up and CPU topology information is populated. Workqueue is in the process of improving CPU locality for unbound workqueues and will need access to topology information during pod init. This adds a new init function workqueue_init_topology() which is called after CPU topology information is available and replaces wq_pod_init(). As unbound CPU pods are now initialized after workqueues are activated, we need to revisit the workqueues to apply the pod configuration. Workqueues which are created before workqueue_init_topology() are set up so that they always use the default worker pool. After pods are set up in workqueue_init_topology(), wq_update_pod() is called on all existing workqueues to update the pool associations accordingly. Note that wq_update_pod_attrs_buf allocation is moved to workqueue_init_early(). This isn't necessary right now but enables further generalization of pod handling in the future. This patch changes the initialization sequence but the end result should be the same. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

wq_pod_init() is called from workqueue_init() and responsible for initializing unbound CPU pods according to NUMA node. Workqueue is in the process of improving affinity awareness and wants to use other topology information to initialize unbound CPU pods; however, unlike NUMA nodes, other topology information isn't yet available in workqueue_init(). The next patch will introduce a later stage init function for workqueue which will be responsible for initializing unbound CPU pods. Relocate wq_pod_init() below workqueue_init() where the new init function is going to be located so that the diff can show the content differences. Just a relocation. No functional changes.

Workqueue is in the process of improving CPU affinity awareness. It will become more flexible and won't be tied to NUMA node boundaries. This patch renames all NUMA related names in workqueue.c to use "pod" instead. While "pod" isn't a very common term, it short and captures the grouping of CPUs well enough. These names are only going to be used within workqueue implementation proper, so the specific naming doesn't matter that much. * wq_numa_possible_cpumask -> wq_pod_cpus * wq_numa_enabled -> wq_pod_enabled * wq_update_unbound_numa_attrs_buf -> wq_update_pod_attrs_buf * workqueue_select_cpu_near -> select_numa_node_cpu This rename is different from others. The function is only used by queue_work_node() and specifically tries to find a CPU in the specified NUMA node. As workqueue affinity will become more flexible and untied from NUMA, this function's name should specifically describe that it's for NUMA. * wq_calc_node_cpumask -> wq_calc_pod_cpumask * wq_update_unbound_numa -> wq_update_pod * wq_numa_init -> wq_pod_init * node -> pod in local variables Only renames.

A pwq (pool_workqueue) represents an association between a workqueue and a worker_pool. When a work item is queued, the workqueue selects the pwq to use, which in turn determines the pool, and queues the work item to the pool through the pwq. pwq is also what implements the maximum concurrency limit - @max_active. As a per-cpu workqueue should be assocaited with a different worker_pool on each CPU, it always had per-cpu pwq's that are accessed through wq->cpu_pwq. However, unbound workqueues were sharing a pwq within each NUMA node by default. The sharing has several downsides: * Because @max_active is per-pwq, the meaning of @max_active changes depending on the machine configuration and whether workqueue NUMA locality support is enabled. * Makes per-cpu and unbound code deviate. * Gets in the way of making workqueue CPU locality awareness more flexible. This patch makes unbound workqueues use per-cpu pwq's the same way per-cpu workqueues do by making the following changes: * wq->numa_pwq_tbl[] is removed and unbound workqueues now use wq->cpu_pwq just like per-cpu workqueues. wq->cpu_pwq is now RCU protected for unbound workqueues. * numa_pwq_tbl_install() is renamed to install_unbound_pwq() and installs the specified pwq to the target CPU's wq->cpu_pwq. * apply_wqattrs_prepare() now always allocates a separate pwq for each CPU unless the workqueue is ordered. If ordered, all CPUs use wq->dfl_pwq. This makes the return value of wq_calc_node_cpumask() unnecessary. It now returns void. * @max_active now means the same thing for both per-cpu and unbound workqueues. WQ_UNBOUND_MAX_ACTIVE now equals WQ_MAX_ACTIVE and documentation is updated accordingly. WQ_UNBOUND_MAX_ACTIVE is no longer used in workqueue implementation and will be removed later. * All unbound pwq operations which used to be per-numa-node are now per-cpu. For most unbound workqueue users, this shouldn't cause noticeable changes. Work item issue and completion will be a small bit faster, flush_workqueue() would become a bit more expensive, and the total concurrency limit would likely become higher. All @max_active==1 use cases are currently being audited for conversion into alloc_ordered_workqueue() and they shouldn't be affected once the audit and conversion is complete. One area where the behavior change may be more noticeable is workqueue_congested() as the reported congestion state is now per CPU instead of NUMA node. There are only two users of this interface - drivers/infiniband/hw/hfi1 and net/smc. Maintainers of both subsystems are cc'd. Inputs on the behavior change would be very much appreciated.

When a CPU went online or offline, wq_update_unbound_numa() was called only on the CPU which was going up or down. This works fine because all CPUs on the same NUMA node share the same pool_workqueue slot - one CPU updating it updates it for everyone in the node. However, future changes will make each CPU use a separate pool_workqueue even when they're sharing the same worker_pool, which requires updating pool_workqueue's for all CPUs which may be sharing the same pool_workqueue on hotplug. To accommodate the planned changes, this patch updates workqueue_on/offline_cpu() so that they call wq_update_unbound_numa() for all CPUs sharing the same NUMA node as the CPU going up or down. In the current code, the second+ calls would be noops and there shouldn't be any behavior changes. * As wq_update_unbound_numa() is now called on multiple CPUs per each hotplug event, @cpu is renamed to @hotplug_cpu and another @cpu argument is added. The former indicates the CPU being hot[un]plugged and the latter the CPU whose pool_workqueue is being updated. * In wq_update_unbound_numa(), cpu_off is renamed to off_cpu for consistency with the new @hotplug_cpu.

Currently, all per-cpu pwq's (pool_workqueue's) are allocated directly through a per-cpu allocation and thus, unlike unbound workqueues, not reference counted. This difference in lifetime management between the two types is a bit confusing. Unbound workqueues are currently accessed through wq->numa_pwq_tbl[] which isn't suitiable for the planned CPU locality related improvements. The plan is to unify pwq handling across per-cpu and unbound workqueues so that they're always accessed through wq->cpu_pwq. In preparation, this patch makes per-cpu pwq's to be allocated, reference counted and released the same way as unbound pwq's. wq->cpu_pwq now holds pointers to pwq's instead of containing them directly. pwq_unbound_release_workfn() is renamed to pwq_release_workfn() as it's now also used for per-cpu work items.

pool_workqueue release path is currently bounced to system_wq; however, this is a bit tricky because this bouncing occurs while holding a pool lock and thus has risk of causing a A-A deadlock. This is currently addressed by the fact that only unbound workqueues use this bouncing path and system_wq is a per-cpu workqueue. While this works, it's brittle and requires a work-around like setting the lockdep subclass for the lock of unbound pools. Besides, future changes will use the bouncing path for per-cpu workqueues too making the current approach unusable. Let's just use a dedicated kthread_worker to untangle the dependency. This is just one more kthread for all workqueues and makes the pwq release logic simpler and more robust. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

Unbound workqueue CPU affinity is going to receive an overhaul and the NUMA specific knobs won't make sense anymore. Remove them. Also, the pool_ids knob was used for debugging and not really meaningful given that there is no visibility into the pools associated with those IDs. Remove it too.

insert_work() always tried to wake up a worker; however, the only time it needs to try to wake up a worker is when a new active work item is queued. When a work item goes on the inactive list or queueing a flush work item, there's no reason to try to wake up a worker. This patch moves the worker wakeup logic out of insert_work() and places it in the active new work item queueing path in __queue_work(). While at it: * __queue_work() is dereferencing pwq->pool repeatedly. Add local variable pool. * Every caller of insert_work() calls debug_work_activate(). Consolidate the invocations into insert_work(). * In __queue_work() pool->watchdog_ts update is relocated slightly. This is to better accommodate future changes. This makes wakeups more precise and will help the planned change to assign work items to workers before waking them up. No behavior changes intended. v2: WARN_ON_ONCE(pool != last_pool) added in __queue_work() to clarify as suggested by Lai.

worker->flags used to be accessed from scheduler hooks without grabbing pool->lock for concurrency management. This is no longer true since 6d25be57 ("sched/core, workqueues: Distangle worker accounting from rq lock"). Also, it's unclear why worker_pool->flags was using the "X" rule. All relevant users are accessing it under the pool lock. Let's drop the special "X" rule and use the "L" rule for these flag fields instead. While at it, replace the CONTEXT comment with lockdep_assert_held(). This allows worker_set/clr_flags() to be used from context which isn't the worker itself. This will be used later to implement assinging work items to workers before waking them up so that workqueue can have better control over which worker executes which work item on which CPU. The only actual changes are sanity checks. There shouldn't be any visible behavior changes. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

wq_cpu_intensive_thresh_us is used to detect CPU-hogging per-cpu work items. Once detected, they're excluded from concurrency management to prevent them from blocking other per-cpu work items. If CONFIG_WQ_CPU_INTENSIVE_REPORT is enabled, repeat offenders are also reported so that the code can be updated. The default threshold is 10ms which is long enough to do fair bit of work on modern CPUs while short enough to be usually not noticeable. This unfortunately leads to a lot of, arguable spurious, detections on very slow CPUs. Using the same threshold across CPUs whose performance levels may be apart by multiple levels of magnitude doesn't make whole lot of sense. This patch scales up wq_cpu_intensive_thresh_us upto 1 second when BogoMIPS is below 4000. This is obviously very inaccurate but it doesn't have to be accurate to be useful. The mechanism is still useful when the threshold is fully scaled up and the benefits of reports are usually shared with everyone regardless of who's reporting, so as long as there are sufficient number of fast machines reporting, we don't lose much. Some (or is it all?) ARM CPUs systemtically report significantly lower BogoMIPS. While this doesn't break anything, given how widespread ARM CPUs are, it's at least a missed opportunity and it probably would be a good idea to teach workqueue about it.

When forking a child process, the parent write-protects anonymous pages and COW-shares them with the child being forked using copy_present_pte(). We must not take any concurrent page faults on the source vma's as they are being processed, as we expect both the vma and the pte's behind it to be stable. For example, the anon_vma_fork() expects the parents vma->anon_vma to not change during the vma copy. A concurrent page fault on a page newly marked read-only by the page copy might trigger wp_page_copy() and a anon_vma_prepare(vma) on the source vma, defeating the anon_vma_clone() that wasn't done because the parent vma originally didn't have an anon_vma, but we now might end up copying a pte entry for a page that has one. Before the per-vma lock based changes, the mmap_lock guaranteed exclusion with concurrent page faults. But now we need to do a vma_start_write() to make sure no concurrent faults happen on this vma while it is being processed. This fix can potentially regress some fork-heavy workloads. Kernel build time did not show noticeable regression on a 56-core machine while a stress test mapping 10000 VMAs and forking 5000 times in a tight loop shows ~5% regression. If such fork time regression is unacceptable, disabling CONFIG_PER_VMA_LOCK should restore its performance. Further optimizations are possible if this regression proves to be problematic.

mmap_region adds a newly created VMA into VMA tree and might modify it afterwards before dropping the mmap_lock. This poses a problem for page faults handled under per-VMA locks because they don't take the mmap_lock and can stumble on this VMA while it's still being modified. Currently this does not pose a problem since post-addition modifications are done only for file-backed VMAs, which are not handled under per-VMA lock. However, once support for handling file-backed page faults with per-VMA locks is added, this will become a race. Fix this by write-locking the VMA before inserting it into the VMA tree. Other places where a new VMA is added into VMA tree do not modify it after the insertion, so do not need the same locking.

With recent changes necessitating mmap_lock to be held for write while expanding a stack, per-VMA locks should follow the same rules and be write-locked to prevent page faults into the VMA being expanded. Add the necessary locking. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Suren Baghdasaryan <surenb@google.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
