Lai Jiangshan eb2834285c workqueue: fix possible pool stall bug in wq_unbind_fn()
Since multiple pools per cpu have been introduced, wq_unbind_fn() has
a subtle bug which may theoretically stall work item processing.  The
problem is two-fold.

* wq_unbind_fn() depends on the worker executing wq_unbind_fn() itself
  to start unbound chain execution, which works fine when there was
  only single pool.  With multiple pools, only the pool which is
  running wq_unbind_fn() - the highpri one - is guaranteed to have
  such kick-off.  The other pool could stall when its busy workers
  block.

* The current code is setting WORKER_UNBIND / POOL_DISASSOCIATED of
  the two pools in succession without initiating work execution
  inbetween.  Because setting the flags requires grabbing assoc_mutex
  which is held while new workers are created, this could lead to
  stalls if a pool's manager is waiting for the previous pool's work
  items to release memory.  This is almost purely theoretical tho.

Update wq_unbind_fn() such that it sets WORKER_UNBIND /
POOL_DISASSOCIATED, goes over schedule() and explicitly kicks off
execution for a pool and then moves on to the next one.

tj: Updated comments and description.

Sasha Levin b67bfe0d42 hlist: drop the node parameter from iterators
I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived

        list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member)

The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter:

        hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member)

Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only
they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking
exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate.

Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required:

 - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h
 - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones.
 - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this
 was modified to use 'obj->member' instead.
 - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator
 properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.

The semantic patch which is mostly the work of Peter Senna Tschudin is here:

workqueue has moved away from global_cwqs to worker_pools and with the
scheduled custom worker pools, wforkqueues will be associated with
pools which don't have anything to do with CPUs.  The workqueue code

isn't likely to hurt much additionally.  Let's replace 'cpu' with
'pool' so that it reflects the current design.

c9e7cf273f ("workqueue: move busy_hash from global_cwq to

get_gcwq() inside for_each_gcwq_cpu() while removing get_gcwq().

As cwq might not exist for all possible workqueue CPUs, @cwq can be
NULL and the following cwq deferences can lead to oops.

Fix it by using for_each_cwq_cpu() instead, which is the better one to
use anyway as we only need to check pools that the wq is associated
with.

Lai Jiangshan 8594fade39 workqueue: pick cwq instead of pool in __queue_work()
Currently, __queue_work() chooses the pool to queue a work item to and
then determines cwq from the target wq and the chosen pool.  This is a
bit backwards in that we can determine cwq first and simply use
cwq->pool.  This way, we can skip get_std_worker_pool() in queueing
path which will be a hurdle when implementing custom worker pools.

Update __queue_work() such that it chooses the target cwq and then use
cwq->pool instead of the other way around.  While at it, add missing
{} in an if statement.

This patch doesn't introduce any functional changes.

tj: The original patch had two get_cwq() calls - the first to
    determine the pool by doing get_cwq(cpu, wq)->pool and the second
    to determine the matching cwq from get_cwq(pool->cpu, wq).
    Updated the function such that it chooses cwq instead of pool and
    removed the second call.  Rewrote the description.

Lai Jiangshan 54d5b7d079 workqueue: make get_work_pool_id() cheaper
get_work_pool_id() currently first obtains pool using get_work_pool()
and then return pool->id.  For an off-queue work item, this involves
obtaining pool ID from worker->data, performing idr_find() to find the
matching pool and then returning its pool->id which of course is the
same as the one which went into idr_find().

Just open code WORK_STRUCT_CWQ case and directly return pool ID from
work->data.

tj: The original patch dropped on-queue work item handling and renamed
    the function to offq_work_pool_id().  There isn't much benefit in
    doing so.  Handling it only requires a single if() and we need at
    least BUG_ON(), which is also a branch, even if we drop on-queue
    handling.  Open code WORK_STRUCT_CWQ case and keep the function in
    line with get_work_pool().  Rewrote the description.

Tejun Heo e19e397a85 workqueue: move nr_running into worker_pool
As nr_running is likely to be accessed from other CPUs during
try_to_wake_up(), it was kept outside worker_pool; however, while less
frequent, other fields in worker_pool are accessed from other CPUs
for, e.g., non-reentrancy check.  Also, with recent pool related
changes, accessing nr_running matching the worker_pool isn't as simple
as it used to be.

Move nr_running inside worker_pool.  Keep it aligned to cacheline and
define CPU pools using DEFINE_PER_CPU_SHARED_ALIGNED().  This should
give at least the same cacheline behavior.

get_pool_nr_running() is replaced with direct pool->nr_running
accesses.

Lai Jiangshan 0b3dae68ac workqueue: simplify is-work-item-queued-here test
Currently, determining whether a work item is queued on a locked pool
involves somewhat convoluted memory barrier dancing.  It goes like the
following.

* When a work item is queued on a pool, work->data is updated before
  work->entry is linked to the pending list with a wmb() inbetween.

* When trying to determine whether a work item is currently queued on
  a pool pointed to by work->data, it locks the pool and looks at
  work->entry.  If work->entry is linked, we then do rmb() and then
  check whether work->data points to the current pool.

This works because, work->data can only point to a pool if it
currently is or were on the pool and,

* If it currently is on the pool, the tests would obviously succeed.

* It it left the pool, its work->entry was cleared under pool->lock,
  so if we're seeing non-empty work->entry, it has to be from the work
  item being linked on another pool.  Because work->data is updated
  before work->entry is linked with wmb() inbetween, work->data update
  from another pool is guaranteed to be visible if we do rmb() after
  seeing non-empty work->entry.  So, we either see empty work->entry
  or we see updated work->data pointin to another pool.

While this works, it's convoluted, to put it mildly.  With recent
updates, it's now guaranteed that work->data points to cwq only while
the work item is queued and that updating work->data to point to cwq
or back to pool is done under pool->lock, so we can simply test
whether work->data points to cwq which is associated with the
currently locked pool instead of the convoluted memory barrier
dancing.

This patch replaces the memory barrier based "are you still here,
really?" test with much simpler "does work->data points to me?" test -
if work->data points to a cwq which is associated with the currently
locked pool, the work item is guaranteed to be queued on the pool as
work->data can start and stop pointing to such cwq only under
pool->lock and the start and stop coincide with queue and dequeue.

tj: Rewrote the comments and description.

Lai Jiangshan 4468a00fd9 workqueue: make work->data point to pool after try_to_grab_pending()
We plan to use work->data pointing to cwq as the synchronization
invariant when determining whether a given work item is on a locked
pool or not, which requires work->data pointing to cwq only while the
work item is queued on the associated pool.

With delayed_work updated not to overload work->data for target
workqueue recording, the only case where we still have off-queue
work->data pointing to cwq is try_to_grab_pending() which doesn't
update work->data after stealing a queued work item.  There's no
reason for try_to_grab_pending() to not update work->data to point to
the pool instead of cwq, like the normal execution does.

This patch adds set_work_pool_and_keep_pending() which makes
work->data point to pool instead of cwq but keeps the pending bit
unlike set_work_pool_and_clear_pending() (surprise!).

After this patch, it's guaranteed that only queued work items point to
cwqs.

This patch doesn't introduce any visible behavior change.

tj: Renamed the new helper function to match
    set_work_pool_and_clear_pending() and rewrote the description.

Lai Jiangshan 60c057bca2 workqueue: add delayed_work->wq to simplify reentrancy handling
To avoid executing the same work item from multiple CPUs concurrently,
a work_struct records the last pool it was on in its ->data so that,
on the next queueing, the pool can be queried to determine whether the
work item is still executing or not.

A delayed_work goes through timer before actually being queued on the
target workqueue and the timer needs to know the target workqueue and
CPU.  This is currently achieved by modifying delayed_work->work.data
such that it points to the cwq which points to the target workqueue
and the last CPU the work item was on.  __queue_delayed_work()
extracts the last CPU from delayed_work->work.data and then combines
it with the target workqueue to create new work.data.

The only thing this rather ugly hack achieves is encoding the target
workqueue into delayed_work->work.data without using a separate field,
which could be a trade off one can make; unfortunately, this entangles
work->data management between regular workqueue and delayed_work code
by setting cwq pointer before the work item is actually queued and
becomes a hindrance for further improvements of work->data handling.

This can be easily made sane by adding a target workqueue field to
delayed_work.  While delayed_work is used widely in the kernel and
this does make it a bit larger (<5%), I think this is the right
trade-off especially given the prospect of much saner handling of
work->data which currently involves quite tricky memory barrier
dancing, and don't expect to see any measureable effect.

Add delayed_work->wq and drop the delayed_work->work.data overloading.

Lai Jiangshan 038366c5cf workqueue: make work_busy() test WORK_STRUCT_PENDING first
Currently, work_busy() first tests whether the work has a pool
associated with it and if not, considers it idle.  This works fine
even for delayed_work.work queued on timer, as __queue_delayed_work()
sets cwq on delayed_work.work - a queued delayed_work always has its
cwq and thus pool associated with it.

However, we're about to update delayed_work queueing and this won't
hold.  Update work_busy() such that it tests WORK_STRUCT_PENDING
before the associated pool.  This doesn't make any noticeable behavior
difference now.

With work_pending() test moved, the function read a lot better with
"if (!pool)" test flipped to positive.  Flip it.

Tejun Heo c9e7cf273f workqueue: move busy_hash from global_cwq to worker_pool
There's no functional necessity for the two pools on the same CPU to
share the busy hash table.  It's also likely to be a bottleneck when
implementing pools with user-specified attributes.

This patch makes busy_hash per-pool.  The conversion is mostly
straight-forward.  Changes worth noting are,

* Large block of changes in rebind_workers() is moving the block
  inside for_each_worker_pool() as now there are separate hash tables
  for each pool.  This changes the order of operations but doesn't
  break anything.

* Thre for_each_worker_pool() loops in gcwq_unbind_fn() are combined
  into one.  This again changes the order of operaitons but doesn't
  break anything.

Tejun Heo 7c3eed5cd6 workqueue: record pool ID instead of CPU in work->data when off-queue
Currently, when a work item is off-queue, work->data records the CPU
it was last on, which is used to locate the last executing instance
for non-reentrance, flushing, etc.

We're in the process of removing global_cwq and making worker_pool the
top level abstraction.  This patch makes work->data point to the pool
it was last associated with instead of CPU.

After the previous WORK_OFFQ_POOL_CPU and worker_poo->id additions,
the conversion is fairly straight-forward.  WORK_OFFQ constants and
functions are modified to record and read back pool ID instead.
worker_pool_by_id() is added to allow looking up pool from ID.
get_work_pool() replaces get_work_gcwq(), which is reimplemented using
get_work_pool().  get_work_pool_id() replaces work_cpu().

This patch shouldn't introduce any observable behavior changes.

Tejun Heo 111c225a5f workqueue: set PF_WQ_WORKER on rescuers
PF_WQ_WORKER is used to tell scheduler that the task is a workqueue
worker and needs wq_worker_sleeping/waking_up() invoked on it for
concurrency management.  As rescuers never participate in concurrency
management, PF_WQ_WORKER wasn't set on them.

There's a need for an interface which can query whether %current is
executing a work item and if so which.  Such interface requires a way
to identify all tasks which may execute work items and PF_WQ_WORKER
will be used for that.  As all normal workers always have PF_WQ_WORKER
set, we only need to add it to rescuers.

As rescuers start with WORKER_PREP but never clear it, it's always
NOT_RUNNING and there's no need to worry about it interfering with
concurrency management even if PF_WQ_WORKER is set; however, unlike
normal workers, rescuers currently don't have its worker struct as
kthread_data().  It uses the associated workqueue_struct instead.
This is problematic as wq_worker_sleeping/waking_up() expect struct
worker at kthread_data().

This patch adds worker->rescue_wq and start rescuer kthreads with
worker struct as kthread_data and sets PF_WQ_WORKER on rescuers.

Tejun Heo a2c1c57be8 workqueue: consider work function when searching for busy work items
To avoid executing the same work item concurrenlty, workqueue hashes
currently busy workers according to their current work items and looks
up the the table when it wants to execute a new work item.  If there
already is a worker which is executing the new work item, the new item
is queued to the found worker so that it gets executed only after the
current execution finishes.

Unfortunately, a work item may be freed while being executed and thus
recycled for different purposes.  If it gets recycled for a different
work item and queued while the previous execution is still in
progress, workqueue may make the new work item wait for the old one
although the two aren't really related in any way.

In extreme cases, this false dependency may lead to deadlock although
it's extremely unlikely given that there aren't too many self-freeing
work item users and they usually don't wait for other work items.

To alleviate the problem, record the current work function in each
busy worker and match it together with the work item address in
find_worker_executing_work().  While this isn't complete, it ensures
that unrelated work items don't interact with each other and in the
very unlikely case where a twisted wq user triggers it, it's always
onto itself making the culprit easy to spot.

8852aac25e ("workqueue: mod_delayed_work_on() shouldn't queue timer on

megaraid - it allocated work_struct, casted it to delayed_work and
then pass that into queue_delayed_work().

Previously, this was okay because 0 @delay short-circuited to
queue_work() before doing anything with delayed_work.  8852aac25e
moved 0 @delay test into __queue_delayed_work() after sanity check on
delayed_work making megaraid trigger BUG_ON().

Although megaraid is already fixed by c1d390d8e6 ("megaraid: fix

BUG_ON()s in __queue_delayed_work() to WARN_ON_ONCE()s so that such
abusers, if there are more, trigger warning but don't crash the

Tejun Heo 8852aac25e workqueue: mod_delayed_work_on() shouldn't queue timer on 0 delay
8376fe22c7 ("workqueue: implement mod_delayed_work[_on]()")
implemented mod_delayed_work[_on]() using the improved
try_to_grab_pending().  The function is later used, among others, to
replace [__]candel_delayed_work() + queue_delayed_work() combinations.

Unfortunately, a delayed_work item w/ zero @delay is handled slightly
differently by mod_delayed_work_on() compared to
queue_delayed_work_on().  The latter skips timer altogether and
directly queues it using queue_work_on() while the former schedules
timer which will expire on the closest tick.  This means, when @delay
is zero, that [__]cancel_delayed_work() + queue_delayed_work_on()
makes the target item immediately executable while
mod_delayed_work_on() may induce delay of upto a full tick.

This somewhat subtle difference breaks some of the converted users.
e.g. block queue plugging uses delayed_work for deferred processing
and uses mod_delayed_work_on() when the queue needs to be immediately
unplugged.  The above problem manifested as noticeably higher number
of context switches under certain circumstances.

The difference in behavior was caused by missing special case handling
for 0 delay in mod_delayed_work_on() compared to
queue_delayed_work_on().  Joonsoo Kim posted a patch to add it -
("workqueue: optimize mod_delayed_work_on() when @delay == 0")[1].
The patch was queued for 3.8 but it was described as optimization and
I missed that it was a correctness issue.

As both queue_delayed_work_on() and mod_delayed_work_on() use
__queue_delayed_work() for queueing, it seems that the better approach
is to move the 0 delay special handling to the function instead of
duplicating it in mod_delayed_work_on().

Fix the problem by moving 0 delay special case handling from
queue_delayed_work_on() to __queue_delayed_work().  This replaces
Joonsoo's patch.

Pull workqueue changes from Tejun Heo:
 "This is workqueue updates for v3.7-rc1.  A lot of activities this
  round including considerable API and behavior cleanups.

   * delayed_work combines a timer and a work item.  The handling of the
     timer part has always been a bit clunky leading to confusing
     cancelation API with weird corner-case behaviors.  delayed_work is
     updated to use new IRQ safe timer and cancelation now works as
     expected.

   * Another deficiency of delayed_work was lack of the counterpart of
     mod_timer() which led to cancel+queue combinations or open-coded
     timer+work usages.  mod_delayed_work[_on]() are added.

     These two delayed_work changes make delayed_work provide interface
     and behave like timer which is executed with process context.

   * A work item could be executed concurrently on multiple CPUs, which
     is rather unintuitive and made flush_work() behavior confusing and
     half-broken under certain circumstances.  This problem doesn't
     exist for non-reentrant workqueues.  While non-reentrancy check
     isn't free, the overhead is incurred only when a work item bounces
     across different CPUs and even in simulated pathological scenario
     the overhead isn't too high.

     All workqueues are made non-reentrant.  This removes the
     distinction between flush_[delayed_]work() and
     flush_[delayed_]_work_sync().  The former is now as strong as the
     latter and the specified work item is guaranteed to have finished
     execution of any previous queueing on return.

   * In addition to the various bug fixes, Lai redid and simplified CPU
     hotplug handling significantly.

   * Joonsoo introduced system_highpri_wq and used it during CPU
     hotplug.

  There are two merge commits - one to pull in IRQ safe timer from
  tip/timers/core and the other to pull in CPU hotplug fixes from
  wq/for-3.6-fixes as Lai's hotplug restructuring depended on them."

Tejun Heo 7c6e72e46c workqueue: remove spurious WARN_ON_ONCE(in_irq()) from try_to_grab_pending()
e0aecdd874 ("workqueue: use irqsafe timer for delayed_work") made
try_to_grab_pending() safe to use from irq context but forgot to
remove WARN_ON_ONCE(in_irq()).  Remove it.

Lai Jiangshan 70369b117a workqueue: use cwq_set_max_active() helper for workqueue_set_max_active()
workqueue_set_max_active() may increase ->max_active without
activating delayed works and may make the activation order differ from
the queueing order.  Both aren't strictly bugs but the resulting
behavior could be a bit odd.

To make things more consistent, use cwq_set_max_active() helper which
immediately makes use of the newly increased max_mactive if there are
delayed work items and also keeps the activation order.

tj: Slight update to description.
