2022-04-20rcu: Add comments to final rcu_gp_cleanup() "if" statementPaul E. McKenney
The final "if" statement in rcu_gp_cleanup() has proven to be rather confusing, straightforward though it might have seemed when initially written. This commit therefore adds comments to its "then" and "else" clauses to at least provide a more elevated form of confusion.

2022-04-11rcu: Check for jiffies going backwardsPaul E. McKenney
A report of a 12-jiffy normal RCU CPU stall warning raises interesting questions about the nature of time on the offending system. This commit instruments rcu_sched_clock_irq(), which is RCU's hook into the scheduling-clock interrupt, checking for the jiffies counter going backwards.

2022-04-11rcu: Fix rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_irqrestore() strict QS reportingPaul E. McKenney
Suppose we have a kernel built with both CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD=y and CONFIG_PREEMPT=y. Suppose further that an RCU reader from which RCU core needs a quiescent state ends in rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_irqrestore(). This function will then invoke rcu_report_qs_rdp() in order to immediately report that quiescent state. Unfortunately, it will not have cleared that reader's CPU's rcu_data structure's ->cpu_no_qs.b.norm field. As a result, rcu_report_qs_rdp() will take an early exit because it will believe that this CPU has not yet encountered a quiescent state, and there will be no reporting of the current quiescent state. This commit therefore causes rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_irqrestore() to clear the ->cpu_no_qs.b.norm field before invoking rcu_report_qs_rdp().

2022-04-11rcutorture: Add missing return and use __func__ in warningDavid Vernet
The rcutorture module has an rcu_torture_writer task that repeatedly performs writes, synchronizations, and deletes. There is a corner-case check in rcu_torture_writer() wherein if nsynctypes is 0, a warning is issued and the task waits to be stopped via a call to torture_kthread_stopping() rather than performing any work. There should be a return statement following this call to torture_kthread_stopping(), as the intention with issuing the call to torture_kthread_stopping() in the first place is to avoid the rcu_torture_writer task from performing any work. Some of the work may even be dangerous to perform, such as potentially causing a #DE due to nsynctypes being used in a modulo operator when querying for sync updates to issue. This patch adds the missing return call. As a bonus, it also fixes a checkpatch warning that was emitted due to the WARN_ONCE() call using the name of the function rather than __func__.

2022-04-11rcutorture: Avoid corner-case #DE with nsynctypes checkDavid Vernet
The rcutorture module is used to run torture tests that validate RCU. rcutorture takes a variety of module parameters that configure the functionality of the test. Amongst these parameters are the types of synchronization mechanisms that the rcu_torture_writer and rcu_torture_fakewriter tasks may use, and the torture_type of the run which determines what read and sync operations are used by the various writer and reader tasks that run throughout the test. When the module is configured to only use sync types for which the specified torture_type does not implement the necessary operations, we can end up in a state where nsynctypes is 0. This is not an erroneous state, but it currently crashes the kernel with a #DE due to nsynctypes being used with a modulo operator in rcu_torture_fakewriter(). Here is an example of such a #DE: $ insmod ./rcutorture.ko gp_cond=1 gp_cond_exp=0 gp_exp=0 gp_poll_exp=0 gp_normal=0 gp_poll=0 gp_poll_exp=0 verbose=9999 torture_type=trivial ...

2022-04-11rcutorture: Suppress debugging grace period delays during floodingPaul E. McKenney
Tree RCU supports grace-period delays using the rcutree.gp_cleanup_delay, rcutree.gp_init_delay, and rcutree.gp_preinit_delay kernel boot parameters. These delays are strictly for debugging purposes, and have proven quite effective at exposing bugs involving race with CPU-hotplug operations. However, these delays can result in false positives when used in conjunction with callback flooding, for example, those generated by the rcutorture.fwd_progress kernel boot parameter. This commit therefore suppresses grace-period delays while callback flooding is in progress. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org>
2022-04-11rcu-tasks: Handle sparse cpu_possible_mask in rcu_tasks_invoke_cbs()Paul E. McKenney
If the cpu_possible_mask is sparse (for example, if bits are set only for CPUs 0, 4, 8, ...), then rcu_tasks_invoke_cbs() will access per-CPU data for a CPU not in cpu_possible_mask. It makes these accesses while doing a workqueue-based binary search for non-empty callback lists. Although this search must pass through CPUs not represented in cpu_possible_mask, it has no need to check the callback list for such CPUs. This commit therefore changes the rcu_tasks_invoke_cbs() function's binary search so as to only check callback lists for CPUs present in cpu_possible_mask.

2022-04-11rcu-tasks: Handle sparse cpu_possible_maskEric Dumazet
If the rcupdate.rcu_task_enqueue_lim kernel boot parameter is set to something greater than 1 and less than nr_cpu_ids, the code attempts to use a subset of the CPU's RCU Tasks callback lists. This works, but only if the cpu_possible_mask is contiguous. If there are "holes" in this mask, the callback-enqueue code might attempt to access a non-existent per-CPU ->rtcpu variable for a non-existent CPU. For example, if only CPUs 0, 4, 8, 12, 16 and so on are in cpu_possible_mask, specifying rcupdate.rcu_task_enqueue_lim=4 would cause the code to attempt to use callback queues for non-existent CPUs 1, 2, and 3. Because such systems have existed in the past and might still exist, the code needs to gracefully handle this situation. This commit therefore checks to see whether the desired CPU is present in cpu_possible_mask, and, if not, searches for the next CPU. This means that the systems administrator of a system with a sparse cpu_possible_mask will need to account for this sparsity when specifying the value of the rcupdate.rcu_task_enqueue_lim kernel boot parameter. For example, setting this parameter to the value 4 will use only CPUs 0 and 4, which CPU 4 getting three times the callback load of CPU 0. This commit assumes that bit (nr_cpu_ids - 1) is always set in cpu_possible_mask.

2022-04-11rcu-tasks: Make show_rcu_tasks_generic_gp_kthread() check all CPUsPaul E. McKenney
Currently, the show_rcu_tasks_generic_gp_kthread() function only looks at CPU 0's callback lists. Although this is not fatal, it can confuse debugging efforts in cases where any of the Tasks RCU flavors are in per-CPU queueing mode. This commit therefore causes this function to scan all CPUs' callback queues. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org>
2022-04-11rcu-tasks: Restore use of timers for non-RT kernelsPaul E. McKenney
The use of hrtimers for RCU-tasks grace-period delays works well in general, but can result in excessive grace-period delays for some corner-case workloads. This commit therefore reverts to the use of timers for non-RT kernels to mitigate those grace-period delays. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org>
2022-04-11rcu-tasks: Use schedule_hrtimeout_range() to wait for grace periodsSebastian Andrzej Siewior
The synchronous RCU-tasks grace-period-wait primitives invoke schedule_timeout_idle() to give readers a chance to exit their read-side critical sections. Unfortunately, this fails during early boot on PREEMPT_RT because PREEMPT_RT relies solely on ksoftirqd to run timer handlers. Because ksoftirqd cannot operate until its kthreads are spawned, there is a brief period of time following scheduler initialization where PREEMPT_RT cannot run the timer handlers that schedule_timeout_idle() relies on, resulting in a hang. To avoid this boot-time hang, this commit replaces schedule_timeout_idle() with schedule_hrtimeout(), so that the timer expires in hardirq context. This is ensures that the timer fires even on PREEMPT_RT throughout the irqs-enabled portions of boot as well as during runtime. The timer is set to expire between fract and fract + HZ / 2 jiffies in order to align with any other timers that might expire during that time, thus reducing the number of wakeups. Note that RCU-tasks grace periods are infrequent, so the use of hrtimer should be fine. In contrast, in common-case code, user of hrtimer could result in performance issues.

2022-04-11rcu-tasks: Make Tasks RCU account for userspace executionPaul E. McKenney
The main Tasks RCU quiescent state is voluntary context switch. However, userspace execution is also a valid quiescent state, and is a valuable one for userspace applications that spin repeatedly executing light-weight non-sleeping system calls. Currently, such an application can delay a Tasks RCU grace period for many tens of seconds. This commit therefore enlists the aid of the scheduler-clock interrupt to provide a Tasks RCU quiescent state when it interrupted a task executing in userspace.

2022-04-11rcu-tasks: Use rcuwait for the rcu_tasks_kthread()Sebastian Andrzej Siewior
The waitqueue used by rcu_tasks_kthread() has always only one waiter. With a guaranteed only one waiter, this can be replaced with rcuwait which is smaller and simpler. With rcuwait based wake counterpart, the irqwork function (call_rcu_tasks_iw_wakeup()) can be invoked hardirq context because it is only a wake up and no sleeping locks are involved (unlike the wait_queue_head). As a side effect, this is also one piece of the puzzle to pass the RCU selftest at early boot on PREEMPT_RT. Replace wait_queue_head with rcuwait and let the irqwork run in hardirq context on PREEMPT_RT. Signed-off-by: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2022-04-11rcu-tasks: Print pre-stall-warning informational messagesPaul E. McKenney
RCU-tasks stall-warning messages are printed after the grace period is ten minutes old. Unfortunately, most of us will have rebooted the system in response to an apparently-hung command long before the ten minutes is up, and will thus see what looks to be a silent hang. This commit therefore adds pr_info() messages that are printed earlier. These should avoid being classified as errors, but should give impatient users a hint. These are controlled by new rcupdate.rcu_task_stall_info and rcupdate.rcu_task_stall_info_mult kernel-boot parameters. The former defines the initial delay in jiffies (defaulting to 10 seconds) and the latter defines the multiplier (defaulting to 3). Thus, by default, the first message will appear 10 seconds into the RCU-tasks grace period, the second 40 seconds in, and the third 160 seconds in. There would be a fourth at 640 seconds in, but the stall warning message appears 600 seconds in, and once a stall warning is printed for a given grace period, no further informational messages are printed.

The key point here is that the purpose of this RCU flavor is to force a schedule on each online CPU since some past event. But the rcu_tasks_rude_wait_gp() function runs in the context of the RCU Tasks Rude's grace-period kthread, so there must already have been a context switch on the current CPU since the call to either synchronize_rcu_tasks_rude() or call_rcu_tasks_rude(). So if there is only a single CPU online, RCU Tasks Rude's grace-period kthread does not need to anything at all. It turns out that the rcu_tasks_rude_wait_gp() function's call to schedule_on_each_cpu() causes problems during early boot. During that time, there is only one online CPU, namely the boot CPU. Therefore, applying this single-CPU optimization fixes early-boot instances of this problem.

2022-04-11srcu: Add contention-triggered addition of srcu_node treePaul E. McKenney
This commit instruments the acquisitions of the srcu_struct structure's ->lock, enabling the initiation of a transition from SRCU_SIZE_SMALL to SRCU_SIZE_BIG when sufficient contention is experienced. The instrumentation counts the number of trylock failures within the confines of a single jiffy. If that number exceeds the value specified by the srcutree.small_contention_lim kernel boot parameter (which defaults to 100), and if the value specified by the srcutree.convert_to_big kernel boot parameter has the 0x10 bit set (defaults to 0), then a transition will be automatically initiated. By default, there will never be any transitions, so that none of the srcu_struct structures ever gains an srcu_node array. The useful values for srcutree.convert_to_big are: 0x00: Never convert. 0x01: Always convert at init_srcu_struct() time. 0x02: Convert when rcutorture prints its first round of statistics. 0x03: Decide conversion approach at boot given system size. 0x10: Convert if contention is encountered. 0x12: Convert if contention is encountered or when rcutorture prints its first round of statistics, whichever comes first. The value 0x11 acts the same as 0x01 because the conversion happens before there is any chance of contention.

2022-04-11srcu: Prevent cleanup_srcu_struct() from freeing non-dynamic ->sdaPaul E. McKenney
When an srcu_struct structure is created (but not in a kernel module) by DEFINE_SRCU() and friends, the per-CPU srcu_data structure is statically allocated. In all other cases, that structure is obtained from alloc_percpu(), in which case cleanup_srcu_struct() must invoke free_percpu() on the resulting ->sda pointer in the srcu_struct pointer. Which it does. Except that it also invokes free_percpu() on the ->sda pointer referencing the statically allocated per-CPU srcu_data structures. Which free_percpu() is surprisingly OK with. This commit nevertheless stops cleanup_srcu_struct() from freeing statically allocated per-CPU srcu_data structures.

2022-04-11srcu: Ensure snp nodes tree is fully initialized before traversalNeeraj Upadhyay
For configurations where snp node tree is not initialized at init time (added in subsequent commits), srcu_funnel_gp_start() and srcu_funnel_exp_start() can potential traverse and observe the snp nodes' transient (uninitialized) states. This can potentially happen, when init_srcu_struct_nodes() initialization of sdp->mynode races with srcu_funnel_gp_start() and srcu_funnel_exp_start() Consider the case below where srcu_funnel_gp_start() observes sdp->mynode to be not NULL and uses an uninitialized sdp->grpmask P1 P2 init_srcu_struct_nodes() void srcu_funnel_gp_start(...) { for_each_possible_cpu(cpu) { ... sdp->mynode = &snp_first[...]; for (snp = sdp->mynode;...) struct srcu_node *snp_leaf = smp_load_acquire(&sdp->mynode) ... if (snp_leaf) { for (snp = snp_leaf; ...) ... if (snp == snp_leaf) snp->srcu_data_have_cbs[idx] |= sdp->grpmask; sdp->grpmask = 1 << (cpu - sdp->mynode->grplo); } } Similarly, init_srcu_struct_nodes() and srcu_funnel_exp_start() can race, where srcu_funnel_exp_start() could observe state of snp lock before spin_lock_init(). P1 P2 init_srcu_struct_nodes() void srcu_funnel_exp_start(...) { srcu_for_each_node_breadth_first(ssp, snp) { for (; ...) { spin_lock_...(snp, ) spin_lock_init(&ACCESS_PRIVATE(snp, lock)); ... } for_each_possible_cpu(cpu) { ... sdp->mynode = &snp_first[...]; To avoid these issues, ensure that snp node tree initialization is complete i.e. after SRCU_SIZE_WAIT_BARRIER srcu_size_state is reached, before traversing the tree. Given that srcu_funnel_gp_start() and srcu_funnel_exp_start() are called within SRCU read side critical sections, this check is safe, in the sense that all callbacks are enqueued on CPU0 srcu_cblist until SRCU_SIZE_WAIT_CALL is entered, and these read side critical sections (containing srcu_funnel_gp_start() and srcu_funnel_exp_start()) need to complete, before SRCU_SIZE_WAIT_CALL is reached.

2022-04-11srcu: Use invalid initial value for srcu_node GP sequence numbersPaul E. McKenney
Currently, tree SRCU relies on the srcu_node structures being initialized at the same time that the srcu_struct itself is initialized, and thus use the initial grace-period sequence number as the initial value for the srcu_node structure's ->srcu_have_cbs[] and ->srcu_gp_seq_needed_exp fields. Although this has a high probability of also working when the srcu_node array is allocated and initialized at some random later time, it would be better to avoid leaving such things to chance. This commit therefore initializes these fields with 0x2, which is a recognizable invalid value. It then adds the required checks for this invalid value in order to avoid confusion on long-running kernels (especially those on 32-bit systems) that allocate and initialize srcu_node arrays late in life.

This is just dead code at the moment, and will be used once the state-transition code is activated. Because srcu_barrier() must be aware of transition before call_srcu(), the state machine waits for an SRCU grace period before callbacks are queued to the non-CPU-0 queues. This requres that portions of srcu_barrier() be enclosed in an SRCU read-side critical section.

This commit makes Tree SRCU able to operate without an snp_node array, that is, when the srcu_data structures' ->mynode pointers are NULL. This can result in high contention on the srcu_struct structure's ->lock, but only when there are lots of call_srcu(), synchronize_srcu(), and synchronize_srcu_expedited() calls. Note that when there is no snp_node array, all SRCU callbacks use CPU 0's callback queue. This is optimal in the common case of low update-side load because it removes the need to search each CPU for the single callback that made the grace period happen.
