rcu/nocb: Add bypass callback queueing Use of the rcu_data structure's segmented ->cblist for no-CBs CPUs takes advantage of unrelated grace periods, thus reducing the memory footprint in the face of floods of call_rcu() invocations. However, the ->cblist field is a more-complex rcu_segcblist structure which must be protected via locking. Even though there are only three entities which can acquire this lock (the CPU invoking call_rcu(), the no-CBs grace-period kthread, and the no-CBs callbacks kthread), the contention on this lock is excessive under heavy stress. This commit therefore greatly reduces contention by provisioning an rcu_cblist structure field named ->nocb_bypass within the rcu_data structure. Each no-CBs CPU is permitted only a limited number of enqueues onto the ->cblist per jiffy, controlled by a new nocb_nobypass_lim_per_jiffy kernel boot parameter that defaults to about 16 enqueues per millisecond (16 * 1000 / HZ). When that limit is exceeded, the CPU instead enqueues onto the new ->nocb_bypass. The ->nocb_bypass is flushed into the ->cblist every jiffy or when the number of callbacks on ->nocb_bypass exceeds qhimark, whichever happens first. During call_rcu() floods, this flushing is carried out by the CPU during the course of its call_rcu() invocations. However, a CPU could simply stop invoking call_rcu() at any time. The no-CBs grace-period kthread therefore carries out less-aggressive flushing (every few jiffies or when the number of callbacks on ->nocb_bypass exceeds (2 * qhimark), whichever comes first). This means that the no-CBs grace-period kthread cannot be permitted to do unbounded waits while there are callbacks on ->nocb_bypass. A ->nocb_bypass_timer is used to provide the needed wakeups.

* Increase the numeric length of an rcu_segcblist structure by the
* specified amount, which can be negative. This can cause the ->len
* field to disagree with the actual number of callbacks on the structure.
* This increase is fully ordered with respect to the callers accesses
* both before and after.
*
* So why on earth is a memory barrier required both before and after
* the update to the ->len field???
*
* The reason is that rcu_barrier() locklessly samples each CPU's ->len
* field, and if a given CPU's field is zero, avoids IPIing that CPU.
* This can of course race with both queuing and invoking of callbacks.
* Failing to correctly handle either of these races could result in
* rcu_barrier() failing to IPI a CPU that actually had callbacks queued
* which rcu_barrier() was obligated to wait on. And if rcu_barrier()
* failed to wait on such a callback, unloading certain kernel modules
* would result in calls to functions whose code was no longer present in
* the kernel, for but one example.
*
* Therefore, ->len transitions from 1->0 and 0->1 have to be carefully
* ordered with respect with both list modifications and the rcu_barrier().
*
* The queuing case is CASE 1 and the invoking case is CASE 2.
*
* CASE 1: Suppose that CPU 0 has no callbacks queued, but invokes
* call_rcu() just as CPU 1 invokes rcu_barrier(). CPU 0's ->len field
* will transition from 0->1, which is one of the transitions that must
* be handled carefully. Without the full memory barriers after the ->len
* update and at the beginning of rcu_barrier(), the following could happen:
*
* CPU 0 CPU 1
*
* call_rcu().
* rcu_barrier() sees ->len as 0.
* set ->len = 1.
* rcu_barrier() does nothing.
* module is unloaded.
* callback invokes unloaded function!
*
* With the full barriers, any case where rcu_barrier() sees ->len as 0 will
* have unambiguously preceded the return from the racing call_rcu(), which
* means that this call_rcu() invocation is OK to not wait on. After all,
* you are supposed to make sure that any problematic call_rcu() invocations
* happen before the rcu_barrier().
*
*
* CASE 2: Suppose that CPU 0 is invoking its last callback just as
* CPU 1 invokes rcu_barrier(). CPU 0's ->len field will transition from
* 1->0, which is one of the transitions that must be handled carefully.
* Without the full memory barriers before the ->len update and at the
* end of rcu_barrier(), the following could happen:
*
* CPU 0 CPU 1
*
* start invoking last callback
* set ->len = 0 (reordered)
* rcu_barrier() sees ->len as 0
* rcu_barrier() does nothing.
* module is unloaded
* callback executing after unloaded!
*
* With the full barriers, any case where rcu_barrier() sees ->len as 0
* will be fully ordered after the completion of the callback function,
* so that the module unloading operation is completely safe.

rcu/tree: Make rcu_do_batch count how many callbacks were executed The rcu_do_batch() function extracts the ready-to-invoke callbacks from the rcu_segcblist located in the ->cblist field of the current CPU's rcu_data structure. These callbacks are first moved to a local (unsegmented) rcu_cblist. The rcu_do_batch() function then uses this rcu_cblist's ->len field to count how many CBs it has invoked, but it does so by counting that field down from zero. Finally, this function negates the value in this ->len field (resulting in a positive number) and subtracts the result from the ->len field of the current CPU's ->cblist field. Except that it is sometimes necessary for rcu_do_batch() to stop invoking callbacks mid-stream, despite there being more ready to invoke, for example, if a high-priority task wakes up. In this case the remaining not-yet-invoked callbacks are requeued back onto the CPU's ->cblist, but remain in the ready-to-invoke segment of that list. As above, the negative of the local rcu_cblist's ->len field is still subtracted from the ->len field of the current CPU's ->cblist field. The design of counting down from 0 is confusing and error-prone, plus use of a positive count will make it easier to provide a uniform and consistent API to deal with the per-segment counts that are added later in this series. For example, rcu_segcblist_extract_done_cbs() can unconditionally populate the resulting unsegmented list's ->len field during extraction. This commit therefore explicitly counts how many callbacks were executed in rcu_do_batch() itself, counting up from zero, and then uses that to update the per-CPU segcb list's ->len field, without relying on the downcounting of rcl->len from zero.

rcu/segcblist: Prevent useless GP start if no CBs to accelerate The rcu_segcblist_accelerate() function returns true iff it is necessary to request another grace period. A tracing session showed that this function unnecessarily requests grace periods. For example, consider the following sequence of events: 1. Callbacks are queued only on the NEXT segment of CPU A's callback list. 2. CPU A runs RCU_SOFTIRQ, accelerating these callbacks from NEXT to WAIT. 3. Thus rcu_segcblist_accelerate() returns true, requesting grace period N. 4. RCU's grace-period kthread wakes up on CPU B and starts grace period N. 4. CPU A notices the new grace period and invokes RCU_SOFTIRQ. 5. CPU A's RCU_SOFTIRQ again invokes rcu_segcblist_accelerate(), but there are no new callbacks. However, rcu_segcblist_accelerate() nevertheless (uselessly) requests a new grace period N+1. This extra grace period results in additional lock contention and also additional wakeups, all for no good reason. This commit therefore adds a check to rcu_segcblist_accelerate() that prevents the return of true when there are no new callbacks. This change reduces the number of grace periods (GPs) and wakeups in each of eleven five-second rcutorture runs as follows: +----+-------------------+-------------------+ | # | Number of GPs | Number of Wakeups | +====+=========+=========+=========+=========+ | 1 | With | Without | With | Without | +----+---------+---------+---------+---------+ | 2 | 75 | 89 | 113 | 119 | +----+---------+---------+---------+---------+ | 3 | 62 | 91 | 105 | 123 | +----+---------+---------+---------+---------+ | 4 | 60 | 79 | 98 | 110 | +----+---------+---------+---------+---------+ | 5 | 63 | 79 | 99 | 112 | +----+---------+---------+---------+---------+ | 6 | 57 | 89 | 96 | 123 | +----+---------+---------+---------+---------+ | 7 | 64 | 85 | 97 | 118 | +----+---------+---------+---------+---------+ | 8 | 58 | 83 | 98 | 113 | +----+---------+---------+---------+---------+ | 9 | 57 | 77 | 89 | 104 | +----+---------+---------+---------+---------+ | 10 | 66 | 82 | 98 | 119 | +----+---------+---------+---------+---------+ | 11 | 52 | 82 | 83 | 117 | +----+---------+---------+---------+---------+ The reduction in the number of wakeups ranges from 5% to 40%.

*
* Note that segment "i" (and any lower-numbered segments
* containing older callbacks) will be unaffected, and their
* grace-period numbers remain unchanged. For example, if i ==
* WAIT_TAIL, then neither WAIT_TAIL nor DONE_TAIL will be touched.
* Instead, the CBs in NEXT_TAIL will be merged with those in
* NEXT_READY_TAIL and the grace-period number of NEXT_READY_TAIL
* would be updated. NEXT_TAIL would then be empty.

rcu/segcblist: Prevent useless GP start if no CBs to accelerate The rcu_segcblist_accelerate() function returns true iff it is necessary to request another grace period. A tracing session showed that this function unnecessarily requests grace periods. For example, consider the following sequence of events: 1. Callbacks are queued only on the NEXT segment of CPU A's callback list. 2. CPU A runs RCU_SOFTIRQ, accelerating these callbacks from NEXT to WAIT. 3. Thus rcu_segcblist_accelerate() returns true, requesting grace period N. 4. RCU's grace-period kthread wakes up on CPU B and starts grace period N. 4. CPU A notices the new grace period and invokes RCU_SOFTIRQ. 5. CPU A's RCU_SOFTIRQ again invokes rcu_segcblist_accelerate(), but there are no new callbacks. However, rcu_segcblist_accelerate() nevertheless (uselessly) requests a new grace period N+1. This extra grace period results in additional lock contention and also additional wakeups, all for no good reason. This commit therefore adds a check to rcu_segcblist_accelerate() that prevents the return of true when there are no new callbacks. This change reduces the number of grace periods (GPs) and wakeups in each of eleven five-second rcutorture runs as follows: +----+-------------------+-------------------+ | # | Number of GPs | Number of Wakeups | +====+=========+=========+=========+=========+ | 1 | With | Without | With | Without | +----+---------+---------+---------+---------+ | 2 | 75 | 89 | 113 | 119 | +----+---------+---------+---------+---------+ | 3 | 62 | 91 | 105 | 123 | +----+---------+---------+---------+---------+ | 4 | 60 | 79 | 98 | 110 | +----+---------+---------+---------+---------+ | 5 | 63 | 79 | 99 | 112 | +----+---------+---------+---------+---------+ | 6 | 57 | 89 | 96 | 123 | +----+---------+---------+---------+---------+ | 7 | 64 | 85 | 97 | 118 | +----+---------+---------+---------+---------+ | 8 | 58 | 83 | 98 | 113 | +----+---------+---------+---------+---------+ | 9 | 57 | 77 | 89 | 104 | +----+---------+---------+---------+---------+ | 10 | 66 | 82 | 98 | 119 | +----+---------+---------+---------+---------+ | 11 | 52 | 82 | 83 | 117 | +----+---------+---------+---------+---------+ The reduction in the number of wakeups ranges from 5% to 40%.
