The synchronize_rcu() definition based on RW-locks in whatisRCU.txt does not meet the "Memory-Barrier Guarantees" in Requirements.html; for example, the following SB-like test: P0: P1: WRITE_ONCE(x, 1); WRITE_ONCE(y, 1); synchronize_rcu(); smp_mb(); r0 = READ_ONCE(y); r1 = READ_ONCE(x); should not be allowed to reach the state "r0 = 0 AND r1 = 0", but the current write_lock()+write_unlock() definition can not ensure this. This commit therefore inserts an smp_mb__after_spinlock() in order to cause this synchronize_rcu() implementation to provide this memory-barrier guarantee. Suggested-by:Paul E.

Currently, the range of jiffies_till_{first,next}_fqs are checked and adjusted on and on in the loop of rcu_gp_kthread on runtime. However, it's enough to check them only when setting them, not every time in the loop. So make them handled on a setting time via sysfs.

At the end of rcu_tasks_kthread() there's a lonely schedule_timeout_uninterruptible() call with no apparent rationale for its existence. But there is. It is to keep the thread from going into a tight loop if there's some anomaly. That really needs a comment. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180524223839.GU3803@linux.vnet.ibm.comSigned-off-by:

Joel Fernandes found that the synchronize_rcu_tasks() was taking a significant amount of time. He demonstrated it with the following test: # cd /sys/kernel/tracing # while [ 1 ]; do x=1; done & # echo '__schedule_bug:traceon' > set_ftrace_filter # time echo '!__schedule_bug:traceon' > set_ftrace_filter; real 0m1.064s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.004s Where it takes a little over a second to perform the synchronize, because there's a loop that waits 1 second at a time for tasks to get through their quiescent points when there's a task that must be waited for. After discussion we came up with a simple way to wait for holdouts but increase the time for each iteration of the loop but no more than a full second. With the new patch we have: # time echo '!__schedule_bug:traceon' > set_ftrace_filter; real 0m0.131s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.004s Which drops it down to 13% of what the original wait time was.

Currently, rcu_check_gp_start_stall() waits for one second after the first request before complaining that a grace period has not yet started. This was desirable while testing the conversion from ->future_gp_needed[] to ->gp_seq_needed, but it is a bit on the hair-trigger side for production use under heavy load. This commit therefore makes this wait time be exactly that of the RCU CPU stall warning, allowing easy adjustment of both timeouts to suit the distribution or installation at hand. Signed-off-by: -

One danger of using __maybe_unused is that the compiler doesn't yell at you when you remove the last reference, witness rcu_bind_gp_kthread() and its local variable "cpu". This commit removes this local variable. Signed-off-by: -

The rcu_kick_nohz_cpu() function is no longer used, and the functionality it used to provide is now provided by a call to resched_cpu() in the force-quiescent-state function rcu_implicit_dynticks_qs(). This commit therefore removes rcu_kick_nohz_cpu(). Signed-off-by: -

The rcu_preempt_qs() function only applies to the CPU, not the task. A task really is allowed to invoke this function while in an RCU-preempt read-side critical section, but only if it has first added itself to some leaf rcu_node structure's ->blkd_tasks list. Signed-off-by: -

The rcu_dynticks_momentary_idle() function is invoked only from rcu_momentary_dyntick_idle(), and neither function is particularly large. This commit therefore saves a few lines by inlining rcu_dynticks_momentary_idle() into rcu_momentary_dyntick_idle(). Signed-off-by: -
Paul E. McKenney authored
If any scheduling-clock interrupt interrupts an RCU-preempt read-side critical section, the interrupted task's ->rcu_read_unlock_special.b.need_qs field is set. This causes the outermost rcu_read_unlock() to incur the extra overhead of calling into rcu_read_unlock_special(). This commit reduces that overhead by setting ->rcu_read_unlock_special.b.need_qs only if the grace period has been in effect for more than one second. Why one second? Because this is comfortably smaller than the minimum RCU CPU stall-warning timeout of three seconds, but long enough that the .need_qs marking should happen quite rarely. And if your RCU read-side critical section has run on-CPU for a full second, it is not unreasonable to invest some CPU time in ending the grace period quickly. Signed-off-by: -

The naming and comments associated with some RCU-tasks code make the faulty assumption that context switches due to cond_resched() are voluntary. As several people pointed out, this is not the case.

We expect a quiescent state of TASKS_RCU when cond_resched_tasks_rcu_qs() is called, no matter whether it actually be scheduled or not. However, it currently doesn't report the quiescent state when the task enters into __schedule() as it's called with preempt = true. So make it report the quiescent state unconditionally when cond_resched_tasks_rcu_qs() is called. And in TINY_RCU, even though the quiescent state of rcu_bh also should be reported when the tick interrupt comes from user, it doesn't. So make it reported. Lastly in TREE_RCU, rcu_note_voluntary_context_switch() should be reported when the tick interrupt comes from not only user but also idle, as an extended quiescent state. Signed-off-by:

CPUs are expected to report quiescent states when coming online and when going offline, and grace-period initialization is supposed to handle any race conditions where a CPU's ->qsmask bit is set just after it goes offline. This commit adds diagnostics for the case where an offline CPU nevertheless has a grace period waiting on it. Signed-off-by: -

Grace-period initialization first processes any recent CPU-hotplug operations, and then initializes state for the new grace period. These two phases of initialization are currently not distinguished in debug prints, but the distinction is valuable in a number of debug situations. This commit therefore introduces two new values for ->gp_state, RCU_GP_ONOFF and RCU_GP_INIT, in order to make this distinction. Signed-off-by: -

Interactions between CPU-hotplug operations and grace-period initialization can result in dump_blkd_tasks(). One of the first debugging actions in this case is to search back in dmesg to work out which of the affected rcu_node structure's CPUs are online and to determine the last CPU-hotplug operation affecting any of those CPUs. This can be laborious and error-prone, especially when console output is lost. This commit therefore causes dump_blkd_tasks() to dump the state of the affected rcu_node structure's CPUs and the last grace period during which the last offline and online operation affected each of these CPUs.

Now that quiescent states for newly offlined CPUs are reported either when that CPU goes offline or at the end of grace-period initialization, the CPU-hotplug failsafe in the force-quiescent-state code path is no longer needed. This commit therefore removes this failsafe. Signed-off-by: -

The main race with the early part of grace-period initialization appears to be with CPU hotplug. To more fully open this race window, this commit moves the rcu_gp_slow() from the beginning of the early initialization loop to follow that loop, thus widening the race window, especially for the rcu_node structures that are initialized last. This commit also expands rcutree.gp_preinit_delay from 3 to 12, giving the same overall delay in the grace period, but concentrated in the spot where it will do the most good. Signed-off-by: -

RCU should only be waiting on CPUs that were online at the time that the current grace period started. Failure to abide by this rule can result in confusing splats during grace-period cleanup and initialization. This commit therefore adds a check to RCU-preempt's preempted-task queuing that checks for waiting on newly onlined CPUs. Signed-off-by: -

Without special fail-safe quiescent-state-propagation checks, grace-period hangs can result from the following scenario: 1. CPU 1 goes offline. 2. Because CPU 1 is the only CPU in the system blocking the current grace period, the grace period ends as soon as rcu_cleanup_dying_idle_cpu()'s call to rcu_report_qs_rnp() returns. 3. At this point, the leaf rcu_node structure's ->lock is no longer held: rcu_report_qs_rnp() has released it, as it must in order to awaken the RCU grace-period kthread. 4. At this point, that same leaf rcu_node structure's ->qsmaskinitnext field still records CPU 1 as being online. This is absolutely necessary because the scheduler uses RCU (in this case on the wake-up path while awakening RCU's grace-period kthread), and ->qsmaskinitnext contains RCU's idea as to which CPUs are online. Therefore, invoking rcu_report_qs_rnp() after clearing CPU 1's bit from ->qsmaskinitnext would result in a lockdep-RCU splat due to RCU being used from an offline CPU. 5. RCU's grace-period kthread awakens, sees that the old grace period has completed and that a new one is needed. It therefore starts a new grace period, but because CPU 1's leaf rcu_node structure's ->qsmaskinitnext field still shows CPU 1 as being online, this new grace period is initialized to wait for a quiescent state from the now-offline CPU 1. 6. Without the fail-safe force-quiescent-state checks, there would be no quiescent state from the now-offline CPU 1, which would eventually result in RCU CPU stall warnings and memory exhaustion. It would be good to get rid of the special fail-safe quiescent-state propagation checks, and thus it would be good to fix things so that the above scenario cannot happen. This commit therefore adds a new ->ofl_lock to the rcu_state structure. This lock is held by rcu_gp_init() across the applying of buffered online and offline operations to the rcu_node tree, and it is also held by rcu_cleanup_dying_idle_cpu() when buffering a new offline operation. This prevents rcu_gp_init() from acquiring the leaf rcu_node structure's lock during the interval between when rcu_cleanup_dying_idle_cpu() invokes rcu_report_qs_rnp(), which releases ->lock and the re-acquisition of that same lock. This in turn prevents the failure scenario outlined above, and will hopefully eventually allow removal of the offline-CPU checks from the force-quiescent-state code path. Signed-off-by: -

Without special fail-safe quiescent-state-propagation checks, grace-period hangs can result from the following scenario: 1. A task running on a given CPU is preempted in its RCU read-side critical section. 2. That CPU goes offline, and there are now no online CPUs corresponding to that CPU's leaf rcu_node structure. 3. The rcu_gp_init() function does the first phase of grace-period initialization, and sets the aforementioned leaf rcu_node structure's ->qsmaskinit field to all zeroes. Because there is a blocked task, it does not propagate the zeroing of either ->qsmaskinit or ->qsmaskinitnext up the rcu_node tree. 4. The task resumes on some other CPU and exits its critical section. There is no grace period in progress, so the resulting quiescent state is not reported up the tree. 5. The rcu_gp_init() function does the second phase of grace-period initialization, which results in the leaf rcu_node structure being initialized to expect no further quiescent states, but with that structure's parent expecting a quiescent-state report. The parent will never receive a quiescent state from this leaf rcu_node structure, so the grace period will hang, resulting in RCU CPU stall warnings. It would be good to get rid of the special fail-safe quiescent-state propagation checks. This commit therefore checks the leaf rcu_node structure's ->wait_blkd_tasks field during grace-period initialization. If this flag is set, the rcu_report_qs_rnp() is invoked to immediately report the possible quiescent state. While in the neighborhood, this commit also report quiescent states for any CPUs that went offline between the two phases of grace-period initialization, thus reducing grace-period delays and hopefully eventually allowing removal of offline-CPU checks from the force-quiescent-state code path.

Consider the following sequence of events in a PREEMPT=y kernel: 1. All CPUs corresponding to a given leaf rcu_node structure are offline. 2. The first phase of the rcu_gp_init() function's grace-period initialization runs, and sets that rcu_node structure's ->qsmaskinit to zero, as it should. 3. One of the CPUs corresponding to that rcu_node structure comes back online. Note that because this CPU came online after the grace period started, this grace period can safely ignore this newly onlined CPU. 4. A task running on the newly onlined CPU enters an RCU-preempt read-side critical section, and is then preempted. Because the corresponding rcu_node structure's ->qsmask is zero, rcu_preempt_ctxt_queue() leaves the rcu_node structure's ->gp_tasks field NULL, as it should. 5. The rcu_gp_init() function continues running the second phase of grace-period initialization. The ->qsmask field of the parent of the aforementioned leaf rcu_node structure is set to not expect a quiescent state from the leaf, as is only right and proper. However, when rcu_gp_init() reaches the leaf, it invokes rcu_preempt_check_blocked_tasks(), which sees that the leaf's ->blkd_tasks list is non-empty, and therefore sets the leaf's ->gp_tasks field to reference the first task on that list. 6. The grace period ends before the preempted task resumes, which is perfectly fine, given that this grace period was under no obligation to wait for that task to exit its late-starting RCU-preempt read-side critical section. Unfortunately, the leaf's ->gp_tasks field is non-NULL, so rcu_gp_cleanup() splats. After all, it appears to rcu_gp_cleanup() that the grace period failed to wait for a task that was supposed to be blocking that grace period. This commit avoids this false-positive splat by adding a check of both ->qsmaskinit and ->wait_blkd_tasks to rcu_preempt_check_blocked_tasks(). If both ->qsmaskinit and ->wait_blkd_tasks are zero, then the task must have entered its RCU-preempt read-side critical section late (after all, the CPU that it is running on was not online at that time), which means that the upper-level rcu_node structure won't be waiting for anything on the leaf anyway. If ->wait_blkd_tasks is non-zero, then there is at least one task on ths rcu_node structure's ->blkd_tasks list whose RCU read-side critical section predates the current grace period. If ->qsmaskinit is non-zero, there is at least one CPU that was online at the start of the current grace period. Thus, if both are zero, there is nothing to wait for. Signed-off-by: -

Consider the following sequence of events in a PREEMPT=y kernel: 1. All but one of the CPUs corresponding to a given leaf rcu_node structure go offline. Each of these CPUs clears its bit in that structure's ->qsmaskinitnext field. 2. A new grace period starts, and rcu_gp_init() scans the leaf rcu_node structures, applying CPU-hotplug changes since the start of the previous grace period, including those changes in #1 above. This copies each leaf structure's ->qsmaskinitnext to its ->qsmask field, which represents the CPUs that this new grace period will wait on. Each copy operation is done holding the corresponding leaf rcu_node structure's ->lock, and at the end of this scan, rcu_gp_init() holds no locks. 3. The last CPU corresponding to #1's leaf rcu_node structure goes offline, clearing its bit in that structure's ->qsmaskinitnext field, but not touching the ->qsmaskinit field. Note that rcu_gp_init() is not currently holding any locks! This CPU does -not- report a quiescent state because the grace period has not yet initialized itself sufficiently to have set any bits in any of the leaf rcu_node structures' ->qsmask fields. 4. The rcu_gp_init() function continues initializing the new grace period, copying each leaf rcu_node structure's ->qsmaskinit field to its ->qsmask field while holding the corresponding ->lock. This sets the ->qsmask bit corresponding to #3's CPU. 5. Before the grace period ends, #3's CPU comes back online. Because te grace period has not yet done any force-quiescent-state scans (which would report a quiescent state on behalf of any offline CPUs), this CPU's ->qsmask bit is still set. 6. A task running on the newly onlined CPU is preempted while in an RCU read-side critical section. Because this CPU's ->qsmask bit is net, not only does this task queue itself on the leaf rcu_node structure's ->blkd_tasks list, it also sets that structure's ->gp_tasks pointer to reference it. 7. The grace period started in #1 above comes to an end. This results in rcu_gp_cleanup() being invoked, which, among other things, checks to make sure that there are no tasks blocking the just-ended grace period, that is, that all ->gp_tasks pointers are NULL. The ->gp_tasks pointer corresponding to the task preempted in #3 above is non-NULL, which results in a splat. This splat is a false positive. The task's RCU read-side critical section cannot have begun before the just-ended grace period because this would mean either: (1) The CPU came online before the grace period started, which cannot have happened because the grace period started before that CPU went offline, or (2) The task started its RCU read-side critical section on some other CPU, but then it would have had to have been preempted before migrating to this CPU, which would mean that it would have instead queued itself on that other CPU's rcu_node structure. RCU's grace periods thus are working correctly. Or, more accurately, that remaining bugs in RCU's grace periods are elsewhere. This commit eliminates this false positive by adding code to the end of rcu_cpu_starting() that reports a quiescent state to RCU, which has the side-effect of clearing that CPU's ->qsmask bit, preventing the above scenario. This approach has the added benefit of more promptly reporting quiescent states corresponding to offline CPUs. Nevertheless, this commit does -not- remove the need for the force-quiescent-state scans to check for offline CPUs, given that a CPU might remain offline indefinitely. And without the checks in the force-quiescent-state scans, the grace period would also persist indefinitely, which could result in hangs or memory exhaustion. Note well that the call to rcu_report_qs_rnp() reporting the quiescent state must come -after- the setting of this CPU's bit in the leaf rcu_node structure's ->qsmaskinitnext field. Otherwise, lockdep-RCU will complain bitterly about quiescent states coming from an offline CPU. Signed-off-by: -

Consider the following sequence of events in a PREEMPT=y kernel: 1. All CPUs corresponding to a given rcu_node structure go offline. A new grace period starts just after the CPU-hotplug code path does its synchronize_rcu() for the last CPU, so at least this CPU is present in that structure's ->qsmask. 2. Before the grace period ends, a CPU comes back online, and not just any CPU, but the one corresponding to a non-zero bit in the leaf rcu_node structure's ->qsmask. 3. A task running on the newly onlined CPU is preempted while in an RCU read-side critical section. Because this CPU's ->qsmask bit is net, not only does this task queue itself on the leaf rcu_node structure's ->blkd_tasks list, it also sets that structure's ->gp_tasks pointer to reference it. 4.

The ->gp_tasks pointer corresponding to the task preempted in #3 above is non-NULL, which results in a splat. This splat is a false positive. The task's RCU read-side critical section cannot have begun before the just-ended grace period because this would mean either: (1) The CPU came online before the grace period started, which cannot have happened because the grace period started before that CPU was all the way offline, or (2) The task started its RCU read-side critical section on some other CPU, but then it would have had to have been preempted before migrating to this CPU, which would mean that it would have instead queued itself on that other CPU's rcu_node structure.

The rcu_lockdep_current_cpu_online() function currently checks only the RCU-sched data structures to determine whether or not RCU believes that a given CPU is offline. Unfortunately, there are multiple flavors of RCU, which means that there is a short window of time during which the various flavors disagree as to whether or not a given CPU is offline. This can result in false-positive lockdep-RCU splats in which some other flavor of RCU tries to do something based on its view that the CPU is online, only to get hit with a lockdep-RCU splat because RCU-sched instead believes that the CPU is offline. This commit therefore changes rcu_lockdep_current_cpu_online() to scan all RCU flavors and to consider a given CPU to be online if any of the RCU flavors believe it to be online, thus preventing these false-positive splats.

The force_qs_rnp() function checks for ->qsmask being all zero, that is, all CPUs for the current rcu_node structure having already passed through quiescent states. But with RCU-preempt, this is not sufficient to report quiescent states further up the tree, so there are further checks that can initiate RCU priority boosting and also for races with CPU-hotplug operations. However, if neither of these further checks apply, the code proceeds to carry out a useless scan of an all-zero ->qsmask. This commit therefore adds code to release the current rcu_node structure's lock and continue on to the next rcu_node structure, thereby avoiding this useless scan. Signed-off-by: -

Currently, rcu_init_new_rnp() walks up the rcu_node combining tree, setting bits in the ->qsmaskinit fields on the way up. It walks up unconditionally, regardless of the initial state of these bits. This is OK because only the corresponding RCU grace-period kthread ever tests or sets these bits during runtime. However, it is also pointless, and it increases both memory and lock contention (albeit only slightly), so this commit stops the walk as soon as an already-set bit is encountered. Signed-off-by:
