2021-09-08fs/epoll: use a per-cpu counter for user's watches countNicholas Piggin1-8/+10
This counter tracks the number of watches a user has, to compare against the 'max_user_watches' limit. This causes a scalability bottleneck on SPECjbb2015 on large systems as there is only one user. Changing to a per-cpu counter increases throughput of the benchmark by about 30% on a 16-socket, > 1000 thread system.

2021-08-20ARM: 9108/1: oabi-compat: rework epoll_wait/epoll_pwait emulationArnd Bergmann1-3/+2
The epoll_wait() system call wrapper is one of the remaining users of the set_fs() infrasturcture for Arm. Changing it to not require set_fs() is rather complex unfortunately. The approach I'm taking here is to allow architectures to override the code that copies the output to user space, and let the oabi-compat implementation check whether it is getting called from an EABI or OABI system call based on the thread_info->syscall value. The in_oabi_syscall() check here mirrors the in_compat_syscall() and in_x32_syscall() helpers for 32-bit compat implementations on other architectures. Overall, the amount of code goes down, at least with the newly added sys_oabi_epoll_pwait() helper getting removed again. The downside is added complexity in the source code for the native implementation. There should be no difference in runtime performance except for Arm kernels with CONFIG_OABI_COMPAT enabled that now have to go through an external function call to check which of the two variants to use.

2021-05-06fs/epoll: restore waking from ep_done_scan()Davidlohr Bueso1-0/+6
Commit 339ddb53d373 ("fs/epoll: remove unnecessary wakeups of nested epoll") changed the userspace visible behavior of exclusive waiters blocked on a common epoll descriptor upon a single event becoming ready. Previously, all tasks doing epoll_wait would awake, and now only one is awoken, potentially causing missed wakeups on applications that rely on this behavior, such as Apache Qpid. While the aforementioned commit aims at having only a wakeup single path in ep_poll_callback (with the exceptions of epoll_ctl cases), we need to restore the wakeup in what was the old ep_scan_ready_list() such that the next thread can be awoken, in a cascading style, after the waker's corresponding ep_send_events().

2021-02-16kcmp: Support selection of SYS_kcmp without CHECKPOINT_RESTOREChris Wilson1-2/+2
Userspace has discovered the functionality offered by SYS_kcmp and has started to depend upon it. In particular, Mesa uses SYS_kcmp for os_same_file_description() in order to identify when two fd (e.g. device or dmabuf) point to the same struct file. Since they depend on it for core functionality, lift SYS_kcmp out of the non-default CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE into the selectable syscall category. Rasmus Villemoes also pointed out that systemd uses SYS_kcmp to deduplicate the per-service file descriptor store. Note that some distributions such as Ubuntu are already enabling CHECKPOINT_RESTORE in their configs and so, by extension, SYS_kcmp.

2020-12-19epoll: add syscall epoll_pwait2Willem de Bruijn1-14/+73
Add syscall epoll_pwait2, an epoll_wait variant with nsec resolution that replaces int timeout with struct timespec. It is equivalent otherwise. int epoll_pwait2(int fd, struct epoll_event *events, int maxevents, const struct timespec *timeout, const sigset_t *sigset); The underlying hrtimer is already programmed with nsec resolution. pselect and ppoll also set nsec resolution timeout with timespec. The sigset_t in epoll_pwait has a compat variant. epoll_pwait2 needs the same. For timespec, only support this new interface on 2038 aware platforms that define __kernel_timespec_t. So no CONFIG_COMPAT_32BIT_TIME.

2020-12-19epoll: convert internal api to timespec64Willem de Bruijn1-20/+37
Patch series "add epoll_pwait2 syscall", v4. Enable nanosecond timeouts for epoll. Analogous to pselect and ppoll, introduce an epoll_wait syscall variant that takes a struct timespec instead of int timeout. This patch (of 4): Make epoll more consistent with select/poll: pass along the timeout as timespec64 pointer. In anticipation of additional changes affecting all three polling mechanisms: - add epoll_pwait2 syscall with timespec semantics, and share poll_select_set_timeout implementation. - compute slack before conversion to absolute time, to save one ktime_get_ts64 call.

2020-12-19epoll: eliminate unnecessary lock for zero timeoutSoheil Hassas Yeganeh1-13/+12
We call ep_events_available() under lock when timeout is 0, and then call it without locks in the loop for the other cases. Instead, call ep_events_available() without lock for all cases. For non-zero timeouts, we will recheck after adding the thread to the wait queue. For zero timeout cases, by definition, user is opportunistically polling and will have to call epoll_wait again in the future. Note that this lock was kept in c5a282e9635e9 because the whole loop was historically under lock. This patch results in a 1% CPU/RPC reduction in RPC benchmarks.

ep_events_available() is called multiple times around the busy loop logic, even though the logic is generally not used. ep_reset_busy_poll_napi_id() is similarly always called, even when busy loop is not used. Eliminate ep_reset_busy_poll_napi_id() and inline it inside ep_busy_loop(). Make ep_busy_loop() return whether there are any events available after the busy loop.

Note that, previously, we were always checking fatal events, but it is checked only if eavail is true.

2020-12-19epoll: check for events when removing a timed out thread from the wait queueSoheil Hassas Yeganeh1-9/+16
Patch series "simplify ep_poll". This patch series is a followup based on the suggestions and feedback by Linus: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/CAHk-=wizk=OxUyQPbO8MS41w2Pag1kniUV5WdD5qWL-gq1kjDA@mail.gmail.com The first patch in the series is a fix for the epoll race in presence of timeouts, so that it can be cleanly backported to all affected stable kernels. The rest of the patch series simplify the ep_poll() implementation. Some of these simplifications result in minor performance enhancements as well. We have kept these changes under self tests and internal benchmarks for a few days, and there are minor (1-2%) performance enhancements as a result. This patch (of 8): After abc610e01c66 ("fs/epoll: avoid barrier after an epoll_wait(2) timeout"), we break out of the ep_poll loop upon timeout, without checking whether there is any new events available. Prior to that patch-series we always called ep_events_available() after exiting the loop. This can cause races and missed wakeups. For example, consider the following scenario reported by Guantao Liu: Suppose we have an eventfd added using EPOLLET to an epollfd. Thread 1: Sleeps for just below 5ms and then writes to an eventfd. Thread 2: Calls epoll_wait with a timeout of 5 ms. If it sees an event of the eventfd, it will write back on that fd. Thread 3: Calls epoll_wait with a negative timeout. Prior to abc610e01c66, it is guaranteed that Thread 3 will wake up either by Thread 1 or Thread 2. After abc610e01c66, Thread 3 can be blocked indefinitely if Thread 2 sees a timeout right before the write to the eventfd by Thread 1. Thread 2 will be woken up from schedule_hrtimeout_range and, with evail 0, it will not call ep_send_events(). To fix this issue: 1) Simplify the timed_out case as suggested by Linus. 2) while holding the lock, recheck whether the thread was woken up after its time out has reached. Note that (2) is different from Linus' original suggestion: It do not set "eavail = ep_events_available(ep)" to avoid unnecessary contention (when there are too many timed-out threads and a small number of events), as well as races mentioned in the discussion thread. This is the first patch in the series so that the backport to stable releases is straightforward.

2020-12-01net: Introduce preferred busy-pollingBjörn Töpel1-1/+1
The existing busy-polling mode, enabled by the SO_BUSY_POLL socket option or system-wide using the /proc/sys/net/core/busy_read knob, is an opportunistic. That means that if the NAPI context is not scheduled, it will poll it. If, after busy-polling, the budget is exceeded the busy-polling logic will schedule the NAPI onto the regular softirq handling. One implication of the behavior above is that a busy/heavy loaded NAPI context will never enter/allow for busy-polling. Some applications prefer that most NAPI processing would be done by busy-polling. This series adds a new socket option, SO_PREFER_BUSY_POLL, that works in concert with the napi_defer_hard_irqs and gro_flush_timeout knobs. The napi_defer_hard_irqs and gro_flush_timeout knobs were introduced in commit 6f8b12d661d0 ("net: napi: add hard irqs deferral feature"), and allows for a user to defer interrupts to be enabled and instead schedule the NAPI context from a watchdog timer. When a user enables the SO_PREFER_BUSY_POLL, again with the other knobs enabled, and the NAPI context is being processed by a softirq, the softirq NAPI processing will exit early to allow the busy-polling to be performed. If the application stops performing busy-polling via a system call, the watchdog timer defined by gro_flush_timeout will timeout, and regular softirq handling will resume. In summary; Heavy traffic applications that prefer busy-polling over softirq processing should use this option. Example usage: $ echo 2 | sudo tee /sys/class/net/ens785f1/napi_defer_hard_irqs $ echo 200000 | sudo tee /sys/class/net/ens785f1/gro_flush_timeout Note that the timeout should be larger than the userspace processing window, otherwise the watchdog will timeout and fall back to regular softirq processing. Enable the SO_BUSY_POLL/SO_PREFER_BUSY_POLL options on your socket.

Move the head of epitem list out of struct file; for epoll ones it's moved into struct eventpoll (->refs there), for non-epoll - into the new object (struct epitem_head). In place of ->f_ep_links we leave a pointer to the list head (->f_ep). ->f_ep is protected by ->f_lock and it's zeroed as soon as the list of epitems becomes empty (that can happen only in ep_remove() by now). The list of files for reverse path check is *not* going through struct file now - it's a single-linked list going through epitem_head instances. It's terminated by ERR_PTR(-1) (== EP_UNACTIVE_POINTER), so the elements of list can be distinguished by head->next != NULL. epitem_head instances are allocated at ep_insert() time (by attach_epitem()) and freed either by ep_remove() (if it empties the set of epitems *and* epitem_head does not belong to the reverse path check list) or by clear_tfile_check_list() when the list is emptied (if the set of epitems is empty by that point). Allocations are done from a separate slab - minimal kmalloc() size is too large on some architectures. As the result, we trim struct file _and_ get rid of the games with temporary file references. Locking and barriers are interesting (aren't they always); see unlist_file() and ep_remove() for details. The non-obvious part is that ep_remove() needs to decide if it will be the one to free the damn thing *before* actually storing NULL to head->epitems.first - that's what smp_load_acquire is for in there. unlist_file() lockless path is safe, since we hit it only if we observe NULL in head->epitems.first and whoever had done that store is guaranteed to have observed non-NULL in head->next. IOW, their last access had been the store of NULL into ->epitems.first and we can safely free the sucker. OTOH, we are under rcu_read_lock() and both epitem and epitem->file have their freeing RCU-delayed. So if we see non-NULL ->epitems.first, we can grab ->f_lock (all epitems in there share the same struct file) and safely recheck the emptiness of ->epitems; again, ->next is still non-NULL, so ep_remove() couldn't have freed head yet. ->f_lock serializes us wrt ep_remove(); the rest is trivial. Note that once head->epitems becomes NULL, nothing can get inserted into it - the only remaining reference to head after that point is from the reverse path check list.

2020-10-25ep_insert(): move creation of wakeup source past the fl_ep_links insertionAl Viro1-11/+9
That's the beginning of preparations for taking f_ep_links out of struct file. If insertion might fail, we will need a new failure exit. Having wakeup source creation done after that point will simplify life there; ep_remove() can (and commonly does) live with NULL epi->ws, so it can be used for cleanup after ep_create_wakeup_source() failure. It can't be used before the rbtree insertion, though, so if we are to unify all old failure exits, we need to move that thing down. Then we would be free to do simple kmem_cache_free() on the failure to insert into f_ep_links - no wakeup source to leak on that failure exit. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2020-10-25take the common part of ep_eventpoll_poll() and ep_item_poll() into helperAl Viro1-30/+27
The only reason why ep_item_poll() can't simply call ep_eventpoll_poll() (or, better yet, call vfs_poll() in all cases) is that we need to tell lockdep how deep into the hierarchy of ->mtx we are. So let's add a variant of ep_eventpoll_poll() that would take depth explicitly and turn ep_eventpoll_poll() into wrapper for that. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2020-10-25ep_insert(): we only need tep->mtx around the insertion itselfAl Viro1-18/+10
We do need ep->mtx (and we are holding it all along), but that's the lock on the epoll we are inserting into; locking of the epoll being inserted is not needed for most of that work - as the matter of fact, we only need it to provide barriers for the fastpath check (for now). Move taking and releasing it into ep_insert(). The caller (do_epoll_ctl()) doesn't need to bother with that at all. Moreover, that way we kill the kludge in ep_item_poll() - now it's always called with tep unlocked. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

The only remaining user is loop checking. But there we only need to check that we have not walked into the epoll we are inserting into - we are adding an edge to acyclic graph, so any loop being created will have to pass through the source of that edge. So we don't need that array of cookies - we have only one eventpoll to watch out for. RIP ep_push_nested(), along with the cookies array. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2020-09-10epoll: EPOLL_CTL_ADD: close the race in decision to take fast pathAl Viro1-0/+1
Checking for the lack of epitems refering to the epoll we want to insert into is not enough; we might have an insertion of that epoll into another one that has already collected the set of files to recheck for excessive reverse paths, but hasn't gotten to creating/inserting the epitem for it. However, any such insertion in progress can be detected - it will update the generation count in our epoll when it's done looking through it for files to check. That gets done under ->mtx of our epoll and that allows us to detect that safely. We are *not* holding epmutex here, so the generation count is not stable. However, since both the update of ep->gen by loop check and (later) insertion into ->f_ep_link are done with ep->mtx held, we are fine - the sequence is grab epmutex bump loop_check_gen ... grab tep->mtx // 1 tep->gen = loop_check_gen ... drop tep->mtx // 2 ... grab tep->mtx // 3 ... insert into ->f_ep_link ... drop tep->mtx // 4 bump loop_check_gen drop epmutex and if the fastpath check in another thread happens for that eventpoll, it can come * before (1) - in that case fastpath is just fine * after (4) - we'll see non-empty ->f_ep_link, slow path taken * between (2) and (3) - loop_check_gen is stable, with ->mtx providing barriers and we end up taking slow path. Note that ->f_ep_link emptiness check is slightly racy - we are protected against insertions into that list, but removals can happen right under us. Not a problem - in the worst case we'll end up taking a slow path for no good reason. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
