2021-08-17workqueue: Assign a color to barrier work itemsLai Jiangshan1-1/+2
There was no strong reason to or not to flush barrier work items in flush_workqueue(). And we have to make barrier work items not participate in nr_active so we had been using WORK_NO_COLOR for them which also makes them can't be flushed by flush_workqueue(). And the users of flush_workqueue() often do not intend to wait barrier work items issued by flush_work(). That made the choice sound perfect. But barrier work items have reference to internal structure (pool_workqueue) and the worker thread[s] is/are still busy for the workqueue user when the barrrier work items are not done. So it is reasonable to make flush_workqueue() also watch for flush_work() to make it more robust. And a problem[1] reported by Li Zhe shows that we need such robustness. The warning logs are listed below: WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 19336 at kernel/workqueue.c:4430 destroy_workqueue+0x11a/0x2f0 ***** destroy_workqueue: test_workqueue9 has the following busy pwq pwq 4: cpus=2 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 active=0/1 refcnt=2 in-flight: 5658:wq_barrier_func Showing busy workqueues and worker pools: ***** It shows that even after drain_workqueue() returns, the barrier work item is still in flight and the pwq (and a worker) is still busy on it. The problem is caused by flush_workqueue() not watching flush_work(): Thread A Worker /* normal work item with linked */ process_scheduled_works() destroy_workqueue() process_one_work() drain_workqueue() /* run normal work item */ /-- pwq_dec_nr_in_flight() flush_workqueue() <---/ /* the last normal work item is done */ sanity_check process_one_work() /-- raw_spin_unlock_irq(&pool->lock) raw_spin_lock_irq(&pool->lock) <-/ /* maybe preempt */ *WARNING* wq_barrier_func() /* maybe preempt by cond_resched() */ Thread A can get the pool lock after the Worker unlocks the pool lock before running wq_barrier_func(). And if there is any preemption happen around wq_barrier_func(), destroy_workqueue()'s sanity check is more likely to get the lock and catch it. (Note: preemption is not necessary to cause the bug, the unlocking is enough to possibly trigger the WARNING.) A simple solution might be just executing all linked barrier work items once without releasing pool lock after the head work item's pwq_dec_nr_in_flight(). But this solution has two problems: 1) the head work item might also be barrier work item when the user-queued work item is cancelled. For example: thread 1: thread 2: queue_work(wq, &my_work) flush_work(&my_work) cancel_work_sync(&my_work); /* Neiter my_work nor the barrier work is scheduled. */ destroy_workqueue(wq); /* This is an easier way to catch the WARNING. */ 2) there might be too much linked barrier work items and running them all once without releasing pool lock just causes trouble. The only solution is to make flush_workqueue() aslo watch barrier work items. So we have to assign a color to these barrier work items which is the color of the head (user-queued) work item. Assigning a color doesn't cause any problem in ative management, because the prvious patch made barrier work items not participate in nr_active via WORK_STRUCT_INACTIVE rather than reliance on the (old) WORK_NO_COLOR.

2019-04-16sched/core, workqueues: Distangle worker accounting from rq lockThomas Gleixner1-2/+3
The worker accounting for CPU bound workers is plugged into the core scheduler code and the wakeup code. This is not a hard requirement and can be avoided by keeping track of the state in the workqueue code itself. Keep track of the sleeping state in the worker itself and call the notifier before entering the core scheduler. There might be false positives when the task is woken between that call and actually scheduling, but that's not really different from scheduling and being woken immediately after switching away. When nr_running is updated when the task is retunrning from schedule() then it is later compared when it is done from ttwu().

2019-02-01psi: fix aggregation idle shut-offJohannes Weiner1-1/+5
psi has provisions to shut off the periodic aggregation worker when there is a period of no task activity - and thus no data that needs aggregating. However, while developing psi monitoring, Suren noticed that the aggregation clock currently won't stay shut off for good. Debugging this revealed a flaw in the idle design: an aggregation run will see no task activity and decide to go to sleep; shortly thereafter, the kworker thread that executed the aggregation will go idle and cause a scheduling change, during which the psi callback will kick the !pending worker again. This will ping-pong forever, and is equivalent to having no shut-off logic at all (but with more code!) Fix this by exempting aggregation workers from psi's clock waking logic when the state change is them going to sleep. To do this, tag workers with the last work function they executed, and if in psi we see a worker going to sleep after aggregating psi data, we will not reschedule the aggregation work item. What if the worker is also executing other items before or after? Any psi state times that were incurred by work items preceding the aggregation work will have been collected from the per-cpu buckets during the aggregation itself. If there are work items following the aggregation work, the worker's last_func tag will be overwritten and the aggregator will be kept alive to process this genuine new activity. If the aggregation work is the last thing the worker does, and we decide to go idle, the brief period of non-idle time incurred between the aggregation run and the kworker's dequeue will be stranded in the per-cpu buckets until the clock is woken by later activity. But that should not be a problem. The buckets can hold 4s worth of time, and future activity will wake the clock with a 2s delay, giving us 2s worth of data we can leave behind when disabling aggregation. If it takes a worker more than two seconds to go idle after it finishes its last work item, we likely have bigger problems in the system, and won't notice one sample that was averaged with a bogus per-CPU weight.

2018-05-18workqueue: Set worker->desc to workqueue name by defaultTejun Heo1-1/+0
Work functions can use set_worker_desc() to improve the visibility of what the worker task is doing. Currently, the desc field is unset at the beginning of each execution and there is a separate field to track the field is set during the current execution. Instead of leaving empty till desc is set, worker->desc can be used to remember the last workqueue the worker worked on by default and users that use set_worker_desc() can override it to something more informative as necessary. This simplifies desc handling and helps tracking the last workqueue that the worker exected on to improve visibility. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
2018-05-18workqueue: Make worker_attach/detach_pool() update worker->poolTejun Heo1-1/+1
For historical reasons, the worker attach/detach functions don't currently manage worker->pool and the callers are manually and inconsistently updating it. This patch moves worker->pool updates into the worker attach/detach functions. This makes worker->pool consistent and clearly defines how worker->pool updates are synchronized. This will help later workqueue visibility improvements by allowing safe access to workqueue information from worker->task. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

2017-11-02License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman1-0/+1
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

worker_idr has the iteration (iterating for attached workers) and worker ID duties. These two duties don't have to be tied together. We can separate them and use a list for tracking attached workers and iteration. Before this separation, it wasn't possible to add rescuer workers to worker_idr due to rescuer workers couldn't allocate ID dynamically because ID-allocation depends on memory-allocation, which rescuer can't depend on. After separation, we can easily add the rescuer workers to the list for iteration without any memory-allocation.

2013-04-30workqueue: include workqueue info when printing debug dump of a worker taskTejun Heo1-1/+11
One of the problems that arise when converting dedicated custom threadpool to workqueue is that the shared worker pool used by workqueue anonimizes each worker making it more difficult to identify what the worker was doing on which target from the output of sysrq-t or debug dump from oops, BUG() and friends. This patch implements set_worker_desc() which can be called from any workqueue work function to set its description. When the worker task is dumped for whatever reason - sysrq-t, WARN, BUG, oops, lockdep assertion and so on - the description will be printed out together with the workqueue name and the worker function pointer. The printing side is implemented by print_worker_info() which is called from functions in task dump paths - sched_show_task() and dump_stack_print_info(). print_worker_info() can be safely called on any task in any state as long as the task struct itself is accessible. It uses probe_*() functions to access worker fields. It may print garbage if something went very wrong, but it wouldn't cause (another) oops. The description is currently limited to 24bytes including the terminating \0. worker->desc_valid and workder->desc[] are added and the 64 bytes marker which was already incorrect before adding the new fields is moved to the correct position. Here's an example dump with writeback updated to set the bdi name as worker desc.

2013-03-19workqueue: directly restore CPU affinity of workers from CPU_ONLINETejun Heo1-3/+0
Rebinding workers of a per-cpu pool after a CPU comes online involves a lot of back-and-forth mostly because only the task itself could adjust CPU affinity if PF_THREAD_BOUND was set. As CPU_ONLINE itself couldn't adjust affinity, it had to somehow coerce the workers themselves to perform set_cpus_allowed_ptr(). Due to the various states a worker can be in, this led to three different paths a worker may be rebound. worker->rebind_work is queued to busy workers. Idle ones are signaled by unlinking worker->entry and call idle_worker_rebind(). The manager isn't covered by either and implements its own mechanism. PF_THREAD_BOUND has been relaced with PF_NO_SETAFFINITY and CPU_ONLINE itself now can manipulate CPU affinity of workers. This patch replaces the existing rebind mechanism with direct one where CPU_ONLINE iterates over all workers using for_each_pool_worker(), restores CPU affinity, and clears WORKER_UNBOUND. There are a couple subtleties. All bound idle workers should have their runqueues set to that of the bound CPU; however, if the target task isn't running, set_cpus_allowed_ptr() just updates the cpus_allowed mask deferring the actual migration to when the task wakes up. This is worked around by waking up idle workers after restoring CPU affinity before any workers can become bound. Another subtlety is stems from matching @pool->nr_running with the number of running unbound workers. While DISASSOCIATED, all workers are unbound and nr_running is zero. As workers become bound again, nr_running needs to be adjusted accordingly; however, there is no good way to tell whether a given worker is running without poking into scheduler internals. Instead of clearing UNBOUND directly, rebind_workers() replaces UNBOUND with another new NOT_RUNNING flag - REBOUND, which will later be cleared by the workers themselves while preparing for the next round of work item execution. The only change needed for the workers is clearing REBOUND along with PREP. * This patch leaves for_each_busy_worker() without any user. Removed. * idle_worker_rebind(), busy_worker_rebind_fn(), worker->rebind_work and rebind logic in manager_workers() removed. * worker_thread() now looks at WORKER_DIE instead of testing whether @worker->entry is empty to determine whether it needs to do something special as dying is the only special thing now.
