2016-08-11percpu-refcount: init ->confirm_switch member properlyRoman Pen1-0/+3
This patch targets two things which are related to ->confirm_switch: 1. Init ->confirm_switch pointer with NULL on percpu_ref_init() or kernel frightfully complains with WARN_ON_ONCE(ref->confirm_switch) at __percpu_ref_switch_to_atomic if memory chunk was not properly zeroed. 2. Warn if RCU callback is still in progress on percpu_ref_exit(). The race still exists, because percpu_ref_call_confirm_rcu() drops ->confirm_switch to NULL early, but that is only a warning and still the caller is responsible that ref is no longer in active use. Hopefully that can help to catch incorrect usage of percpu-refcount.

2016-08-10percpu_ref: allow operation mode switching operations to be called concurrentlyTejun Heo1-4/+29
percpu_ref initially didn't have explicit mode switching operations. It started out in percpu mode and switched to atomic mode on kill and then released. Ensuring that kill operation is initiated only after init completes was naturally the caller's responsibility. percpu_ref_reinit() was introduced later but it didn't shift the synchronization responsibility. Reinit can't be performed until kill is confirmed, so there was nothing to worry about synchronization-wise. Also, as both reinit and kill manipulate the base reference, invocations of the same function couldn't be allowed to race each other. The latest additions of percpu_ref_switch_to_atomic/percpu() changed the situation. These two functions can be called any time as long as the percpu_ref is between init and exit and thus there are valid valid usage scenarios where these new functions race with each other or against reinit/kill. Mostly from inertia, f47ad4578461 ("percpu_ref: decouple switching to percpu mode and reinit") still left synchronization among percpu mode switching operations to its users. That the new switch functions can be freely mixed with kill/reinit but the operations themselves should be synchronized is too subtle a requirement and led to a very subtle race condition in blk-mq freezing path. This patch fixes the situation by introducing percpu_ref_switch_lock to protect mode switching operations. This ensures that percpu-ref users don't have to worry about mode changing operations racing against each other, e.g. switch_to_percpu against kill, as long as the sequence of operations is valid.

2016-08-10percpu_ref: restructure operation mode switchingTejun Heo1-35/+29
Restructure atomic/percpu mode switching. * The users of __percpu_ref_switch_to_atomic/percpu() now call a new function __percpu_ref_switch_mode() which calls either of the original switching functions depending on the current state of ref->force_atomic and the __PERCPU_REF_DEAD flag. The callers no longer check whether switching is necessary but always invoke __percpu_ref_switch_mode(). * !ref->confirm_switch waiting is collected into __percpu_ref_switch_mode().

2016-08-10percpu_ref: unify staggered atomic switching wait behaviorTejun Heo1-10/+21
When an atomic or percpu switching starts before the previous atomic switching finishes, the taken behaviors are * If the new atomic switching has confirmation callback, it waits for the previous atomic switching to complete. * If the new percpu switching is the first percpu switching following the previous atomic switching, it waits the previous atomic switching to complete. No percpu_ref user depends on these subtleties. The only meaningful part is that, if the caller ensures that atomic switching isn't in progress, mode switching operations can be issued from any context. This patch pulls the wait logic to the top of both switching functions so that they always wait for the previous atomic switching to complete. This makes the behavior simpler and consistent for both directions and will help allowing concurrent invocations of mode switching functions. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

2016-08-10percpu_ref: remove unnecessary RCU grace period for staggered atomic ↵Tejun Heo1-18/+4
switching confirmation At the beginning, percpu_ref guaranteed a RCU grace period between a call to percpu_ref_kill_and_confirm() and the invocation of the confirmation callback. This guarantee exposed internal implementation details and got rescinded while switching over to sched RCU; however, __percpu_ref_switch_to_atomic() still inserts a full sched RCU grace period even when it can simply wait for the previous attempt. Remove the unnecessary grace period and perform the confirmation synchronously for staggered atomic switching attempts. Update comments accordingly. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

2014-09-24percpu_ref: make INIT_ATOMIC and switch_to_atomic() stickyTejun Heo1-5/+15
Currently, a percpu_ref which is initialized with PERPCU_REF_INIT_ATOMIC or switched to atomic mode via switch_to_atomic() automatically reverts to percpu mode on the first percpu_ref_reinit(). This makes the atomic mode difficult to use for cases where a percpu_ref is used as a persistent on/off switch which may be cycled multiple times. This patch makes such atomic state sticky so that it survives through kill/reinit cycles. After this patch, atomic state is cleared only by an explicit percpu_ref_switch_to_percpu() call.

2014-09-24percpu_ref: add PERCPU_REF_INIT_* flagsTejun Heo1-5/+18
With the recent addition of percpu_ref_reinit(), percpu_ref now can be used as a persistent switch which can be turned on and off repeatedly where turning off maps to killing the ref and waiting for it to drain; however, there currently isn't a way to initialize a percpu_ref in its off (killed and drained) state, which can be inconvenient for certain persistent switch use cases. Similarly, percpu_ref_switch_to_atomic/percpu() allow dynamic selection of operation mode; however, currently a newly initialized percpu_ref is always in percpu mode making it impossible to avoid the latency overhead of switching to atomic mode. This patch adds @flags to percpu_ref_init() and implements the following flags. * PERCPU_REF_INIT_ATOMIC : start ref in atomic mode * PERCPU_REF_INIT_DEAD : start ref killed and drained These flags should be able to serve the above two use cases. v2: target_core_tpg.c conversion was missing.

2014-09-24percpu_ref: decouple switching to percpu mode and reinitTejun Heo1-19/+54
percpu_ref has treated the dropping of the base reference and switching to atomic mode as an integral operation; however, there's nothing inherent tying the two together. The use cases for percpu_ref have been expanding continuously. While the current init/kill/reinit/exit model can cover a lot, the coupling of kill/reinit with atomic/percpu mode switching is turning out to be too restrictive for use cases where many percpu_refs are created and destroyed back-to-back with only some of them reaching extended operation. The coupling also makes implementing always-atomic debug mode difficult. This patch separates out percpu mode switching into percpu_ref_switch_to_percpu() and reimplements percpu_ref_reinit() on top of it. * DEAD still requires ATOMIC. A dead ref can't be switched to percpu mode w/o going through reinit. v2: __percpu_ref_switch_to_percpu() was missing static. Fixed. Reported by Fengguang aka kbuild test robot.

2014-09-24percpu_ref: add PCPU_REF_DEADTejun Heo1-8/+11
percpu_ref will be restructured so that percpu/atomic mode switching and reference killing are dedoupled. In preparation, add PCPU_REF_DEAD and PCPU_REF_ATOMIC_DEAD which is OR of ATOMIC and DEAD. For now, ATOMIC and DEAD are changed together and all PCPU_REF_ATOMIC uses are converted to PCPU_REF_ATOMIC_DEAD without causing any behavior changes. percpu_ref_init() now specifies an explicit alignment when allocating the percpu counters so that the pointer has enough unused low bits to accomodate the flags. Note that one flag was fine as min alignment for percpu memory is 2 bytes but two flags are already too many for the natural alignment of unsigned longs on archs like cris and m68k. v2: The original patch had BUILD_BUG_ON() which triggers if unsigned long's alignment isn't enough to accomodate the flags, which triggered on cris and m64k. percpu_ref_init() updated to specify the required alignment explicitly.

2014-09-24blk-mq, percpu_ref: implement a kludge for SCSI blk-mq stall during probeTejun Heo1-0/+16
blk-mq uses percpu_ref for its usage counter which tracks the number of in-flight commands and used to synchronously drain the queue on freeze. percpu_ref shutdown takes measureable wallclock time as it involves a sched RCU grace period. This means that draining a blk-mq takes measureable wallclock time. One would think that this shouldn't matter as queue shutdown should be a rare event which takes place asynchronously w.r.t. userland. Unfortunately, SCSI probing involves synchronously setting up and then tearing down a lot of request_queues back-to-back for non-existent LUNs. This means that SCSI probing may take more than ten seconds when scsi-mq is used. This will be properly fixed by implementing a mechanism to keep q->mq_usage_counter in atomic mode till genhd registration; however, that involves rather big updates to percpu_ref which is difficult to apply late in the devel cycle (v3.17-rc6 at the moment). As a stop-gap measure till the proper fix can be implemented in the next cycle, this patch introduces __percpu_ref_kill_expedited() and makes blk_mq_freeze_queue() use it. This is heavy-handed but should work for testing the experimental SCSI blk-mq implementation.

2014-09-20percpu-refcount: make percpu_ref based on longs instead of intsTejun Heo1-18/+19
percpu_ref is currently based on ints and the number of refs it can cover is (1 << 31). This makes it impossible to use a percpu_ref to count memory objects or pages on 64bit machines as it may overflow. This forces those users to somehow aggregate the references before contributing to the percpu_ref which is often cumbersome and sometimes challenging to get the same level of performance as using the percpu_ref directly. While using ints for the percpu counters makes them pack tighter on 64bit machines, the possible gain from using ints instead of longs is extremely small compared to the overall gain from per-cpu operation. This patch makes percpu_ref based on longs so that it can be used to directly count memory objects or pages.

2014-06-28percpu-refcount: require percpu_ref to be exited explicitlyTejun Heo1-23/+10
Currently, a percpu_ref undoes percpu_ref_init() automatically by freeing the allocated percpu area when the percpu_ref is killed. While seemingly convenient, this has the following niggles. * It's impossible to re-init a released reference counter without going through re-allocation. * In the similar vein, it's impossible to initialize a percpu_ref count with static percpu variables. * We need and have an explicit destructor anyway for failure paths - percpu_ref_cancel_init().

percpu-refcount was incorrectly using preempt_disable/enable() for RCU critical sections against call_rcu(). 6a24474da8 ("percpu-refcount: consistently use plain (non-sched) RCU") fixed it by converting the preepmtion operations with rcu_read_[un]lock() citing that there isn't any advantage in using sched-RCU over using the usual one; however, rcu_read_[un]lock() for the preemptible RCU implementation - CONFIG_TREE_PREEMPT_RCU, chosen when CONFIG_PREEMPT - are slightly more expensive than preempt_disable/enable(). In a contrived microbench which repeats the followings, - percpu_ref_get() - copy 32 bytes of data into percpu buffer - percpu_put_get() - copy 32 bytes of data into percpu buffer rcu_read_[un]lock() used in percpu_ref_get/put() makes it go slower by about 15% when compared to using sched-RCU.

percpu_ref_kill_and_confirm() Implement percpu_tryget() which stops giving out references once the percpu_ref is visible as killed. Because the refcnt is per-cpu, different CPUs will start to see a refcnt as killed at different points in time and tryget() may continue to succeed on subset of cpus for a while after percpu_ref_kill() returns. For use cases where it's necessary to know when all CPUs start to see the refcnt as dead, percpu_ref_kill_and_confirm() is added. The new function takes an extra argument @confirm_kill which is invoked when the refcnt is guaranteed to be viewed as killed on all CPUs. While this isn't the prettiest interface, it doesn't force synchronous wait and is much safer than requiring the caller to do its own call_rcu(). v2: Patch description rephrased to emphasize that tryget() may continue to succeed on some CPUs after kill() returns as suggested by Kent. v3: Function comment in percpu_ref_kill_and_confirm() updated warning people to not depend on the implied RCU grace period from the confirm callback as it's an implementation detail.

The pointer is guaranteed to be valid and visible and can't change underneath the function. Drop ACCESS_ONCE(). Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
2013-06-12percpu-refcount: cosmetic updatesTejun Heo1-3/+4
* s/percpu_ref_release/percpu_ref_func_t/ as it's customary to have _t postfix for types and the type is gonna be used for a different type of callback too. * Add @ARG to function comments. * Drop unnecessary and unaligned indentation from percpu_ref_init() function comment.

2013-06-03percpu-refcount: Don't use silly cmpxchg()Kent Overstreet1-15/+4
The cmpxchg() was just to ensure the debug check didn't race, which was a bit excessive. The caller is supposed to do the appropriate synchronization, which means percpu_ref_kill() can just do a simple store.

2013-06-03percpu: implement generic percpu refcountingKent Overstreet1-0/+128
This implements a refcount with similar semantics to atomic_get()/atomic_dec_and_test() - but percpu. It also implements two stage shutdown, as we need it to tear down the percpu counts. Before dropping the initial refcount, you must call percpu_ref_kill(); this puts the refcount in "shutting down mode" and switches back to a single atomic refcount with the appropriate barriers (synchronize_rcu()). It's also legal to call percpu_ref_kill() multiple times - it only returns true once, so callers don't have to reimplement shutdown synchronization.
