[PATCH] WorkStruct: Use direct assignment rather than cmpxchg() Use direct assignment rather than cmpxchg() as the latter is unavailable and unimplementable on some platforms and is actually unnecessary. The use of cmpxchg() was to guard against two possibilities, neither of which can actually occur: (1) The pending flag may have been unset or may be cleared. However, given where it's called, the pending flag is _always_ set. I don't think it can be unset whilst we're in set_wq_data(). Once the work is enqueued to be actually run, the only way off the queue is for it to be actually run. If it's a delayed work item, then the bit can't be cleared by the timer because we haven't started the timer yet. Also, the pending bit can't be cleared by cancelling the delayed work _until_ the work item has had its timer started. (2) The workqueue pointer might change. This can only happen in two cases: (a) The work item has just been queued to actually run, and so we're protected by the appropriate workqueue spinlock. (b) A delayed work item is being queued, and so the timer hasn't been started yet, and so no one else knows about the work item or can access it (the pending bit protects us). Besides, set_wq_data() _sets_ the workqueue pointer unconditionally, so it can be assigned instead. So, replacing the set_wq_data() with a straight assignment would be okay in most cases. The problem is where we end up tangling with test_and_set_bit() emulated using spinlocks, and even then it's not a problem _provided_ test_and_set_bit() doesn't attempt to modify the word if the bit was set. If that's a problem, then a bitops-proofed assignment will be required - equivalent to atomic_set() vs other atomic_xxx() ops.

implement flush_work() A basic problem with flush_scheduled_work() is that it blocks behind _all_ presently-queued works, rather than just the work whcih the caller wants to flush. If the caller holds some lock, and if one of the queued work happens to want that lock as well then accidental deadlocks can occur. One example of this is the phy layer: it wants to flush work while holding rtnl_lock(). But if a linkwatch event happens to be queued, the phy code will deadlock because the linkwatch callback function takes rtnl_lock. So we implement a new function which will flush a *single* work - just the one which the caller wants to free up. Thus we avoid the accidental deadlocks which can arise from unrelated subsystems' callbacks taking shared locks. flush_work() non-blockingly dequeues the work_struct which we want to kill, then it waits for its handler to complete on all CPUs. Add ->current_work to the "struct cpu_workqueue_struct", it points to currently running "struct work_struct". When flush_work(work) detects ->current_work == work, it inserts a barrier at the _head_ of ->worklist (and thus right _after_ that work) and waits for completition. This means that the next work fired on that CPU will be this barrier, or another barrier queued by concurrent flush_work(), so the caller of flush_work() will be woken before any "regular" work has a chance to run. When wait_on_work() unlocks workqueue_mutex (or whatever we choose to protect against CPU hotplug), CPU may go away. But in that case take_over_work() will move a barrier we queued to another CPU, it will be fired sometime, and wait_on_work() will be woken. Actually, we are doing cleanup_workqueue_thread()->kthread_stop() before take_over_work(), so cwq->thread should complete its ->worklist (and thus the barrier), because currently we don't check kthread_should_stop() in run_workqueue(). But even if we did, everything should be ok.

make cancel_rearming_delayed_work() reliable Thanks to Jarek Poplawski for the ideas and for spotting the bug in the initial draft patch. cancel_rearming_delayed_work() currently has many limitations, because it requires that dwork always re-arms itself via queue_delayed_work(). So it hangs forever if dwork doesn't do this, or cancel_rearming_delayed_work/ cancel_delayed_work was already called. It uses flush_workqueue() in a loop, so it can't be used if workqueue was freezed, and it is potentially live- lockable on busy system if delay is small. With this patch cancel_rearming_delayed_work() doesn't make any assumptions about dwork, it can re-arm itself via queue_delayed_work(), or queue_work(), or do nothing. As a "side effect", cancel_work_sync() was changed to handle re-arming works as well. Disadvantages: - this patch adds wmb() to insert_work(). - slowdowns the fast path (when del_timer() succeeds on entry) of cancel_rearming_delayed_work(), because wait_on_work() is called unconditionally. In that case, compared to the old version, we are doing "unneeded" lock/unlock for each online CPU. On the other hand, this means we don't need to use cancel_work_sync() after cancel_rearming_delayed_work(). - complicates the code (.text grows by 130 bytes).

workqueue: fix flush_workqueue() vs CPU_DEAD race Many thanks to Srivatsa Vaddagiri for the helpful discussion and for spotting the bug in my previous attempt. work->func() (and thus flush_workqueue()) must not use workqueue_mutex, this leads to deadlock when CPU_DEAD does kthread_stop(). However without this mutex held we can't detect CPU_DEAD in progress, which can move pending works to another CPU while the dead one is not on cpu_online_map. Change flush_workqueue() to use for_each_possible_cpu(). This means that flush_cpu_workqueue() may hit CPU which is already dead. However in that case !list_empty(&cwq->worklist) || cwq->current_work != NULL means that CPU_DEAD in progress, it will do kthread_stop() + take_over_work() so we can proceed and insert a barrier. We hold cwq->lock, so we are safe. Also, add migrate_sequence incremented by take_over_work() under cwq->lock. If take_over_work() happened before we checked this CPU, we should see the new value after spin_unlock(). Further possible changes: remove CPU_DEAD handling (along with take_over_work, migrate_sequence) from workqueue.c. CPU_DEAD just sets cwq->please_exit_after_flush flag. CPU_UP_PREPARE->create_workqueue_thread() clears this flag, and creates the new thread if cwq->thread == NULL. This way the workqueue/cpu-hotplug interaction is almost zero, workqueue_mutex just protects "workqueues" list, CPU_LOCK_ACQUIRE/CPU_LOCK_RELEASE go away.

make cancel_rearming_delayed_work() reliable Thanks to Jarek Poplawski for the ideas and for spotting the bug in the initial draft patch. cancel_rearming_delayed_work() currently has many limitations, because it requires that dwork always re-arms itself via queue_delayed_work(). So it hangs forever if dwork doesn't do this, or cancel_rearming_delayed_work/ cancel_delayed_work was already called. It uses flush_workqueue() in a loop, so it can't be used if workqueue was freezed, and it is potentially live- lockable on busy system if delay is small. With this patch cancel_rearming_delayed_work() doesn't make any assumptions about dwork, it can re-arm itself via queue_delayed_work(), or queue_work(), or do nothing. As a "side effect", cancel_work_sync() was changed to handle re-arming works as well. Disadvantages: - this patch adds wmb() to insert_work(). - slowdowns the fast path (when del_timer() succeeds on entry) of cancel_rearming_delayed_work(), because wait_on_work() is called unconditionally. In that case, compared to the old version, we are doing "unneeded" lock/unlock for each online CPU. On the other hand, this means we don't need to use cancel_work_sync() after cancel_rearming_delayed_work(). - complicates the code (.text grows by 130 bytes).

implement flush_work() A basic problem with flush_scheduled_work() is that it blocks behind _all_ presently-queued works, rather than just the work whcih the caller wants to flush. If the caller holds some lock, and if one of the queued work happens to want that lock as well then accidental deadlocks can occur. One example of this is the phy layer: it wants to flush work while holding rtnl_lock(). But if a linkwatch event happens to be queued, the phy code will deadlock because the linkwatch callback function takes rtnl_lock. So we implement a new function which will flush a *single* work - just the one which the caller wants to free up. Thus we avoid the accidental deadlocks which can arise from unrelated subsystems' callbacks taking shared locks. flush_work() non-blockingly dequeues the work_struct which we want to kill, then it waits for its handler to complete on all CPUs. Add ->current_work to the "struct cpu_workqueue_struct", it points to currently running "struct work_struct". When flush_work(work) detects ->current_work == work, it inserts a barrier at the _head_ of ->worklist (and thus right _after_ that work) and waits for completition. This means that the next work fired on that CPU will be this barrier, or another barrier queued by concurrent flush_work(), so the caller of flush_work() will be woken before any "regular" work has a chance to run. When wait_on_work() unlocks workqueue_mutex (or whatever we choose to protect against CPU hotplug), CPU may go away. But in that case take_over_work() will move a barrier we queued to another CPU, it will be fired sometime, and wait_on_work() will be woken. Actually, we are doing cleanup_workqueue_thread()->kthread_stop() before take_over_work(), so cwq->thread should complete its ->worklist (and thus the barrier), because currently we don't check kthread_should_stop() in run_workqueue().

implement flush_work() A basic problem with flush_scheduled_work() is that it blocks behind _all_ presently-queued works, rather than just the work whcih the caller wants to flush. If the caller holds some lock, and if one of the queued work happens to want that lock as well then accidental deadlocks can occur. One example of this is the phy layer: it wants to flush work while holding rtnl_lock(). But if a linkwatch event happens to be queued, the phy code will deadlock because the linkwatch callback function takes rtnl_lock. So we implement a new function which will flush a *single* work - just the one which the caller wants to free up. Thus we avoid the accidental deadlocks which can arise from unrelated subsystems' callbacks taking shared locks. flush_work() non-blockingly dequeues the work_struct which we want to kill, then it waits for its handler to complete on all CPUs. Add ->current_work to the "struct cpu_workqueue_struct", it points to currently running "struct work_struct". When flush_work(work) detects ->current_work == work, it inserts a barrier at the _head_ of ->worklist (and thus right _after_ that work) and waits for completition. This means that the next work fired on that CPU will be this barrier, or another barrier queued by concurrent flush_work(), so the caller of flush_work() will be woken before any "regular" work has a chance to run. When wait_on_work() unlocks workqueue_mutex (or whatever we choose to protect against CPU hotplug), CPU may go away. But in that case take_over_work() will move a barrier we queued to another CPU, it will be fired sometime, and wait_on_work() will be woken. Actually, we are doing cleanup_workqueue_thread()->kthread_stop() before take_over_work(), so cwq->thread should complete its ->worklist (and thus the barrier), because currently we don't check kthread_should_stop() in run_workqueue().
