c9e7cf273f ("workqueue: move busy_hash from global_cwq to
worker_pool") incorrectly converted is_chained_work() to use
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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Currently, work_busy() first tests whether the work has a pool

even for delayed_work.work queued on timer, as __queue_delayed_work()

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

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.

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."

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

To make things more consistent, use cwq_set_max_active() helper which

The existing work_on_cpu() implementation is hugely inefficient. It
creates a new kthread, execute that single function and then let the
kthread die on each invocation.
Now that system_wq can handle concurrent executions, there's no
advantage of doing this. Reimplement work_on_cpu() using system_wq
which makes it simpler and way more efficient.

Currently, when try_to_grab_pending() grabs a delayed work item, it
leaves its linked work items alone on the delayed_works. The linked
work items are always NO_COLOR and will cause future
cwq_activate_first_delayed() increase cwq->nr_active incorrectly, and
may cause the whole cwq to stall. For example,
state: cwq->max_active = 1, cwq->nr_active = 1
one work in cwq->pool, many in cwq->delayed_works.
step1: try_to_grab_pending() removes a work item from delayed_works
but leaves its NO_COLOR linked work items on it.
step2: Later on, cwq_activate_first_delayed() activates the linked
work item increasing ->nr_active.
step3: cwq->nr_active = 1, but all activated work items of the cwq are
NO_COLOR. When they finish, cwq->nr_active will not be
decreased due to NO_COLOR, and no further work items will be
activated from cwq->delayed_works. the cwq stalls.
Fix it by ensuring the target work item is activated before stealing
PENDING in try_to_grab_pending(). This ensures that all the linked
work items are activated without incorrectly bumping cwq->nr_active.

Currently rebind_workers() uses rebinds idle workers synchronously
before proceeding to requesting busy workers to rebind. This is
necessary because all workers on @worker_pool->idle_list must be bound
before concurrency management local wake-ups from the busy workers
take place.
Unfortunately, the synchronous idle rebinding is quite complicated.
This patch reimplements idle rebinding to simplify the code path.
Rather than trying to make all idle workers bound before rebinding
busy workers, we simply remove all to-be-bound idle workers from the
idle list and let them add themselves back after completing rebinding
(successful or not).
As only workers which finished rebinding can on on the idle worker
list, the idle worker list is guaranteed to have only bound workers
unless CPU went down again and local wake-ups are safe.
After the change, @worker_pool->nr_idle may deviate than the actual
number of idle workers on @worker_pool->idle_list. More specifically,
nr_idle may be non-zero while ->idle_list is empty. All users of
->nr_idle and ->idle_list are audited. The only affected one is
too_many_workers() which is updated to check %false if ->idle_list is
empty regardless of ->nr_idle.
After this patch, rebind_workers() no longer performs the nasty
idle-rebind retries which require temporary release of gcwq->lock, and
both unbinding and rebinding are atomic w.r.t. global_cwq->lock.
worker->idle_rebind and global_cwq->rebind_hold are now unnecessary
and removed along with the definition of struct idle_rebind.
Changed from V1:
1) remove unlikely from too_many_workers(), ->idle_list can be empty
anytime, even before this patch, no reason to use unlikely.
2) fix a small rebasing mistake.
(which is from rebasing the orignal fixing patch to for-next)
3) add a lot of comments.
4) clear WORKER_REBIND unconditionaly in idle_worker_rebind()

To simplify both normal and CPU hotplug paths, worker management is
prevented while CPU hoplug is in progress. This is achieved by CPU
hotplug holding the same exclusion mechanism used by workers to ensure
there's only one manager per pool.
If someone else seems to be performing the manager role, workers
proceed to execute work items. CPU hotplug using the same mechanism
can lead to idle worker depletion because all workers could proceed to
execute work items while CPU hotplug is in progress and CPU hotplug
itself wouldn't actually perform the worker management duty - it
doesn't guarantee that there's an idle worker left when it releases
management.
This idle worker depletion, under extreme circumstances, can break
forward-progress guarantee and thus lead to deadlock.
This patch fixes the bug by using separate mechanisms for manager
exclusion among workers and hotplug exclusion. For manager exclusion,
POOL_MANAGING_WORKERS which was restored by the previous patch is
used. pool->manager_mutex is now only used for exclusion between the
elected manager and CPU hotplug. The elected manager won't proceed
without holding pool->manager_mutex.
This ensures that the worker which won the manager position can't skip
managing while CPU hotplug is in progress. It will block on
manager_mutex and perform management after CPU hotplug is complete.
Note that hotplug may happen while waiting for manager_mutex. A
manager isn't either on idle or busy list and thus the hoplug code
can't unbind/rebind it. Make the manager handle its own un/rebinding.

Currently, rebind_workers() and idle_worker_rebind() are two-way
interlocked. rebind_workers() waits for idle workers to finish
rebinding and rebound idle workers wait for rebind_workers() to finish
rebinding busy workers before proceeding.
Unfortunately, this isn't enough. The second wait from idle workers
is implemented as follows.
wait_event(gcwq->rebind_hold, !(worker->flags & WORKER_REBIND));
rebind_workers() clears WORKER_REBIND, wakes up the idle workers and
then returns. If CPU hotplug cycle happens again before one of the
idle workers finishes the above wait_event(), rebind_workers() will
repeat the first part of the handshake - set WORKER_REBIND again and
wait for the idle worker to finish rebinding - and this leads to
deadlock because the idle worker would be waiting for WORKER_REBIND to
clear.
This is fixed by adding another interlocking step at the end -
rebind_workers() now waits for all the idle workers to finish the
above WORKER_REBIND wait before returning. This ensures that all
rebinding steps are complete on all idle workers before the next
hotplug cycle can happen.
This problem was diagnosed by Lai Jiangshan who also posted a patch to
fix the issue, upon which this patch is based.
This is the minimal fix and further patches are scheduled for the next
merge window to simplify the CPU hotplug path.

cancel_delayed_work() can't be called from IRQ handlers due to its use
of del_timer_sync() and can't cancel work items which are already
transferred from timer to worklist.
Also, unlike other flush and cancel functions, a canceled delayed_work

workqueue is destroyed afterwards and the work item is re-used on a
different workqueue, the queueing code can oops trying to dereference
already freed cpu_workqueue.
This patch reimplements cancel_delayed_work() using

By default, each per-cpu part of a bound workqueue operates separately
and a work item may be executing concurrently on different CPUs. The
behavior avoids some cross-cpu traffic but leads to subtle weirdities
and not-so-subtle contortions in the API.
* There's no sane usefulness in allowing a single work item to be
executed concurrently on multiple CPUs. People just get the
behavior unintentionally and get surprised after learning about it.
Most either explicitly synchronize or use non-reentrant/ordered
workqueue but this is error-prone.
* flush_work() can't wait for multiple instances of the same work item
on different CPUs. If a work item is executing on cpu0 and then
queued on cpu1, flush_work() can only wait for the one on cpu1.
Unfortunately, work items can easily cross CPU boundaries
unintentionally when the queueing thread gets migrated. This means
that if multiple queuers compete, flush_work() can't even guarantee
that the instance queued right before it is finished before
returning.
* flush_work_sync() was added to work around some of the deficiencies
of flush_work(). In addition to the usual flushing, it ensures that
all currently executing instances are finished before returning.
This operation is expensive as it has to walk all CPUs and at the
same time fails to address competing queuer case.
Incorrectly using flush_work() when flush_work_sync() is necessary
is an easy error to make and can lead to bugs which are difficult to
reproduce.
* Similar problems exist for flush_delayed_work[_sync]().
Other than the cross-cpu access concern, there's no benefit in
allowing parallel execution and it's plain silly to have this level of
contortion for workqueue which is widely used from core code to
extremely obscure drivers.
This patch makes all workqueues non-reentrant. If a work item is
executing on a different CPU when queueing is requested, it is always
queued to that CPU. This guarantees that any given work item can be
executing on one CPU at maximum and if a work item is queued and
executing, both are on the same CPU.
The only behavior change which may affect workqueue users negatively
is that non-reentrancy overrides the affinity specified by
queue_work_on(). On a reentrant workqueue, the affinity specified by
queue_work_on() is always followed. Now, if the work item is
executing on one of the CPUs, the work item will be queued there
regardless of the requested affinity. I've reviewed all workqueue
users which request explicit affinity, and, fortunately, none seems to
be crazy enough to exploit parallel execution of the same work item.
This adds an additional busy_hash lookup if the work item was
previously queued on a different CPU. This shouldn't be noticeable
under any sane workload. Work item queueing isn't a very
high-frequency operation and they don't jump across CPUs all the time.
In a micro benchmark to exaggerate this difference - measuring the
time it takes for two work items to repeatedly jump between two CPUs a
number (10M) of times with busy_hash table densely populated, the
difference was around 3%.
While the overhead is measureable, it is only visible in pathological
cases and the difference isn't huge. This change brings much needed
sanity to workqueue and makes its behavior consistent with timer. I
think this is the right tradeoff to make.
This enables significant simplification of workqueue API.
Simplification patches will follow.

Currently, in this case, we use only system_wq. This makes a possible

Any operation which clears PENDING should be preceded by a wmb to

There are only two places where PENDING is cleared -
set_work_cpu_and_clear_pending() and clear_work_data(). The caller of

Move the wmb above set_work_cpu_and_clear_pending() into it and add

delayed_work encodes the workqueue to use and the last CPU in
delayed_work->work.data while it's on timer. The target CPU is
implicitly recorded as the CPU the timer is queued on and
delayed_work_timer_fn() queues delayed_work->work to the CPU it is
running on.
Unfortunately, this leaves flush_delayed_work[_sync]() no way to find
out which CPU the delayed_work was queued for when they try to
re-queue after killing the timer. Currently, it chooses the local CPU
flush is running on. This can unexpectedly move a delayed_work queued
on a specific CPU to another CPU and lead to subtle errors.
There isn't much point in trying to save several bytes in struct
delayed_work, which is already close to a hundred bytes on 64bit with
all debug options turned off. This patch adds delayed_work->cpu to
remember the CPU it's queued for.
Note that if the timer is migrated during CPU down, the work item
could be queued to the downed global_cwq after this change. As a
detached global_cwq behaves like an unbound one, this doesn't change
much for the delayed_work.

Workqueue was lacking a mechanism to modify the timeout of an already
pending delayed_work. delayed_work users have been working around
this using several methods - using an explicit timer + work item,
messing directly with delayed_work->timer, and canceling before
re-queueing, all of which are error-prone and/or ugly.
This patch implements mod_delayed_work[_on]() which behaves similarly
to mod_timer() - if the delayed_work is idle, it's queued with the
given delay; otherwise, its timeout is modified to the new value.
Zero @delay guarantees immediate execution.

There can be two reasons try_to_grab_pending() can fail with -EAGAIN.
One is when someone else is queueing or deqeueing the work item. With
the previous patches, it is guaranteed that PENDING and queued state
will soon agree making it safe to busy-retry in this case.
The other is if multiple __cancel_work_timer() invocations are racing
one another. __cancel_work_timer() grabs PENDING and then waits for
running instances of the target work item on all CPUs while holding
PENDING and !queued. try_to_grab_pending() invoked from another task
will keep returning -EAGAIN while the current owner is waiting.
Not distinguishing the two cases is okay because __cancel_work_timer()
is the only user of try_to_grab_pending() and it invokes
wait_on_work() whenever grabbing fails. For the first case, busy
looping should be fine but wait_on_work() doesn't cause any critical
problem. For the latter case, the new contender usually waits for the
same condition as the current owner, so no unnecessarily extended
busy-looping happens. Combined, these make __cancel_work_timer()
technically correct even without irq protection while grabbing PENDING
or distinguishing the two different cases.
While the current code is technically correct, not distinguishing the
two cases makes it difficult to use try_to_grab_pending() for other
purposes than canceling because it's impossible to tell whether it's
safe to busy-retry grabbing.
This patch adds a mechanism to mark a work item being canceled.
try_to_grab_pending() now disables irq on success and returns -EAGAIN
to indicate that grabbing failed but PENDING and queued states are
gonna agree soon and it's safe to busy-loop. It returns -ENOENT if
the work item is being canceled and it may stay PENDING && !queued for
arbitrary amount of time.
__cancel_work_timer() is modified to mark the work canceling with
WORK_OFFQ_CANCELING after grabbing PENDING, thus making
try_to_grab_pending() fail with -ENOENT instead of -EAGAIN. Also, it
invokes wait_on_work() iff grabbing failed with -ENOENT. This isn't
necessary for correctness but makes it consistent with other future
users of try_to_grab_pending().
v2: try_to_grab_pending() was testing preempt_count() to ensure that
the caller has disabled preemption. This triggers spuriously if
!CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT. Use preemptible() instead. Reported by
Fengguang Wu.
v3: Updated so that try_to_grab_pending() disables irq on success
rather than requiring preemption disabled by the caller. This
makes busy-looping easier and will allow try_to_grap_pending() to
be used from bh/irq contexts.

Low WORK_STRUCT_FLAG_BITS bits of work_struct->data contain
WORK_STRUCT_FLAG_* and flush color. If the work item is queued, the
rest point to the cpu_workqueue with WORK_STRUCT_CWQ set; otherwise,
WORK_STRUCT_CWQ is clear and the bits contain the last CPU number -
either a real CPU number or one of WORK_CPU_*.
Scheduled addition of mod_delayed_work[_on]() requires an additional
flag, which is used only while a work item is off queue. There are
more than enough bits to represent off-queue CPU number on both 32 and
64bits. This patch introduces WORK_OFFQ_FLAG_* which occupy the lower
part of the @work->data high bits while off queue. This patch doesn't
define any actual OFFQ flag yet.
Off-queue CPU number is now shifted by WORK_OFFQ_CPU_SHIFT, which adds
the number of bits used by OFFQ flags to WORK_STRUCT_FLAG_SHIFT, to
make room for OFFQ flags.

Queueing operations use WORK_STRUCT_PENDING_BIT to synchronize access
to the target work item. They first try to claim the bit and proceed
with queueing only after that succeeds and there's a window between
PENDING being set and the actual queueing where the task can be
interrupted or preempted.
There's also a similar window in process_one_work() when clearing
PENDING. A work item is dequeued, gcwq->lock is released and then
PENDING is cleared and the worker might get interrupted or preempted
between releasing gcwq->lock and clearing PENDING.
cancel[_delayed]_work_sync() tries to claim or steal PENDING. The
function assumes that a work item with PENDING is either queued or in
the process of being [de]queued. In the latter case, it busy-loops
until either the work item loses PENDING or is queued. If canceling
coincides with the above described interrupts or preemptions, the
canceling task will busy-loop while the queueing or executing task is
preempted.
This patch keeps irq disabled across claiming PENDING and actual
queueing and moves PENDING clearing in process_one_work() inside
gcwq->lock so that busy looping from PENDING && !queued doesn't wait
for interrupted/preempted tasks. Note that, in process_one_work(),
setting last CPU and clearing PENDING got merged into single
operation.
This removes possible long busy-loops and will allow using
try_to_grab_pending() from bh and irq contexts.

caller has disabled preemption. This triggers spuriously if
!CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT. Use preemptible() instead. Reported by

grabbing gcwq->lock later anyway and this allows using

WORK_STRUCT_PENDING is used to claim ownership of a work item and
process_one_work() releases it before starting execution. When
someone else grabs PENDING, all pre-release updates to the work item
should be visible and all updates made by the new owner should happen
afterwards.
Grabbing PENDING uses test_and_set_bit() and thus has a full barrier;
however, clearing doesn't have a matching wmb. Given the preceding
spin_unlock and use of clear_bit, I don't believe this can be a
problem on an actual machine and there hasn't been any related report
but it still is theretically possible for clear_pending to permeate
upwards and happen before work->entry update.

Currently, during CPU offlining, after all pending work items are
drained, the trustee butchers all workers. Also, on CPU onlining
failure, workqueue_cpu_callback() ensures that the first idle worker
is destroyed. Combined, these guarantee that an offline CPU doesn't
have any worker for it once all the lingering work items are finished.
This guarantee isn't really necessary and makes CPU on/offlining more
expensive than needs to be, especially for platforms which use CPU
hotplug for powersaving.
This patch lets offline CPUs removes idle worker butchering from the
trustee and let a CPU which failed onlining keep the created first
worker. The first worker is created if the CPU doesn't have any
during CPU_DOWN_PREPARE and started right away. If onlining succeeds,
the rebind_workers() call in CPU_ONLINE will rebind it like any other
workers. If onlining fails, the worker is left alone till the next
try.
This makes CPU hotplugs cheaper by allowing global_cwqs to keep
workers across them and simplifies code.
Note that trustee doesn't re-arm idle timer when it's done and thus
the disassociated global_cwq will keep all workers until it comes back
online. This will be improved by further patches.

Currently, if there are left workers when a CPU is being brough back
online, the trustee kills all idle workers and scheduled rebind_work
so that they re-bind to the CPU after the currently executing work is
finished. This works for busy workers because concurrency management
doesn't try to wake up them from scheduler callbacks, which require
the target task to be on the local run queue. The busy worker bumps
concurrency counter appropriately as it clears WORKER_UNBOUND from the
rebind work item and it's bound to the CPU before returning to the
idle state.
To reduce CPU on/offlining overhead (as many embedded systems use it
for powersaving) and simplify the code path, workqueue is planned to
be modified to retain idle workers across CPU on/offlining. This
patch reimplements CPU online rebinding such that it can also handle
idle workers.
As noted earlier, due to the local wakeup requirement, rebinding idle
workers is tricky. All idle workers must be re-bound before scheduler
callbacks are enabled. This is achieved by interlocking idle
re-binding. Idle workers are requested to re-bind and then hold until
all idle re-binding is complete so that no bound worker starts
executing work item. Only after all idle workers are re-bound and
parked, CPU_ONLINE proceeds to release them and queue rebind work item
to busy workers thus guaranteeing scheduler callbacks aren't invoked
until all idle workers are ready.
worker_rebind_fn() is renamed to busy_worker_rebind_fn() and
idle_worker_rebind() for idle workers is added. Rebinding logic is
moved to rebind_workers() and now called from CPU_ONLINE after
flushing trustee. While at it, add CPU sanity check in
worker_thread().
Note that now a worker may become idle or the manager between trustee
release and rebinding during CPU_ONLINE. As the previous patch
updated create_worker() so that it can be used by regular manager
while unbound and this patch implements idle re-binding, this is safe.
This prepares for removal of trustee and keeping idle workers across
CPU hotplugs.

Currently, create_worker()'s callers are responsible for deciding
whether the newly created worker should be bound to the associated CPU
and create_worker() sets WORKER_UNBOUND only for the workers for the
unbound global_cwq. Creation during normal operation is always via
maybe_create_worker() and @bind is true. For workers created during
hotplug, @bind is false.
Normal operation path is planned to be used even while the CPU is
going through hotplug operations or offline and this static decision
won't work.
Drop @bind from create_worker() and decide whether to bind by looking
at GCWQ_DISASSOCIATED. create_worker() will also set WORKER_UNBOUND
autmatically if disassociated. To avoid flipping GCWQ_DISASSOCIATED
while create_worker() is in progress, the flag is now allowed to be
changed only while holding all manager_mutexes on the global_cwq.
This requires that GCWQ_DISASSOCIATED is not cleared behind trustee's
back. CPU_ONLINE no longer clears DISASSOCIATED before flushing
trustee, which clears DISASSOCIATED before rebinding remaining workers
if asked to release. For cases where trustee isn't around, CPU_ONLINE
clears DISASSOCIATED after flushing trustee. Also, now, first_idle
has UNBOUND set on creation which is explicitly cleared by CPU_ONLINE
while binding it. These convolutions will soon be removed by further
simplification of CPU hotplug path.

Currently, all workqueue cpu hotplug operations run off
CPU_PRI_WORKQUEUE which is higher than normal notifiers. This is to
ensure that workqueue is up and running while bringing up a CPU before
other notifiers try to use workqueue on the CPU.
Per-cpu workqueues are supposed to remain working and bound to the CPU
for normal CPU_DOWN_PREPARE notifiers. This holds mostly true even
with workqueue offlining running with higher priority because
workqueue CPU_DOWN_PREPARE only creates a bound trustee thread which
runs the per-cpu workqueue without concurrency management without
explicitly detaching the existing workers.
However, if the trustee needs to create new workers, it creates
unbound workers which may wander off to other CPUs while
CPU_DOWN_PREPARE notifiers are in progress. Furthermore, if the CPU
down is cancelled, the per-CPU workqueue may end up with workers which
aren't bound to the CPU.
While reliably reproducible with a convoluted artificial test-case
involving scheduling and flushing CPU burning work items from CPU down
notifiers, this isn't very likely to happen in the wild, and, even
when it happens, the effects are likely to be hidden by the following
successful CPU down.
Fix it by using different priorities for up and down notifiers - high
priority for up operations and low priority for down operations.

Introduce NR_WORKER_POOLS and for_each_worker_pool() and convert code
paths which need to manipulate all pools in a gcwq to use them.
NR_WORKER_POOLS is currently one and for_each_worker_pool() iterates
over only @gcwq->pool.
Note that nr_running is per-pool property and converted to an array
with NR_WORKER_POOLS elements and renamed to pool_nr_running. Note
that get_pool_nr_running() currently assumes 0 index. The next patch
will make use of non-zero index.
The changes in this patch are mechanical and don't caues any
functional difference. This is to prepare for multiple pools per
gcwq.
v2: nr_running indexing bug in get_pool_nr_running() fixed.
v3: Pointer to array is stupid. Don't use it in get_pool_nr_running()

Unbound wqs aren't concurrency-managed and try to execute work items

Under memory load, on x86_64, with lockdep enabled, the workqueue's
process_one_work() has been seen to oops in __lock_acquire(), barfing
on a 0xffffffff00000000 pointer in the lockdep_map's class_cache[].
Because it's permissible to free a work_struct from its callout function,
the map used is an onstack copy of the map given in the work_struct: and
that copy is made without any locking.
Surprisingly, gcc (4.5.1 in Hugh's case) uses "rep movsl" rather than
"rep movsq" for that structure copy: which might race with a workqueue
user's wait_on_work() doing lock_map_acquire() on the source of the
copy, putting a pointer into the class_cache[], but only in time for
the top half of that pointer to be copied to the destination map.
Boom when process_one_work() subsequently does lock_map_acquire()
on its onstack copy of the lockdep_map.
Fix this, and a similar instance in call_timer_fn(), with a
lockdep_copy_map() function which additionally NULLs the class_cache[].
Note: this oops was actually seen on 3.4-next, where flush_work() newly
does the racing lock_map_acquire(); but Tejun points out that 3.4 and
earlier are already vulnerable to the same through wait_on_work().

worker_enter_idle() has WARN_ON_ONCE() which triggers if nr_running
isn't zero when every worker is idle. This can trigger spuriously
while a cpu is going down due to the way trustee sets %WORKER_ROGUE
and zaps nr_running.
It first sets %WORKER_ROGUE on all workers without updating
nr_running, releases gcwq->lock, schedules, regrabs gcwq->lock and
then zaps nr_running. If the last running worker enters idle
inbetween, it would see stale nr_running which hasn't been zapped yet
and trigger the WARN_ON_ONCE().
Fix it by performing the sanity check iff the trustee is idle.

If a workqueue is flushed with flush_work() lockdep checking can
be circumvented. For example:
static DEFINE_MUTEX(mutex);
static void my_work(struct work_struct *w)
{
mutex_lock(&mutex);
mutex_unlock(&mutex);
}
static DECLARE_WORK(work, my_work);
static int __init start_test_module(void)
{
schedule_work(&work);
return 0;
}
module_init(start_test_module);
static void __exit stop_test_module(void)
{
mutex_lock(&mutex);
flush_work(&work);
mutex_unlock(&mutex);
}
module_exit(stop_test_module);
would not always print a warning when flush_work() was called.
In this trivial example nothing could go wrong since we are
guaranteed module_init() and module_exit() don't run concurrently,
but if the work item is schedule asynchronously we could have a
scenario where the work item is running just at the time flush_work()
is called resulting in a classic ABBA locking problem.
Add a lockdep hint by acquiring and releasing the work item
lockdep_map in flush_work() so that we always catch this
potential deadlock scenario.

This patch (as1519) fixes a bug in the block layer's disk-events
polling. The polling is done by a work routine queued on the
system_nrt_wq workqueue. Since that workqueue isn't freezable, the
polling continues even in the middle of a system sleep transition.
Obviously, polling a suspended drive for media changes and such isn't
a good thing to do; in the case of USB mass-storage devices it can
lead to real problems requiring device resets and even re-enumeration.
The patch fixes things by creating a new system-wide, non-reentrant,
freezable workqueue and using it for disk-events polling.

alloc_workqueue() currently expects the passed in @name pointer to remain
accessible. This is inconvenient and a bit silly given that the whole wq
is being dynamically allocated. This patch updates alloc_workqueue() and
friends to take printf format string instead of opaque string and matching
varargs at the end. The name is allocated together with the wq and
formatted.
alloc_ordered_workqueue() is converted to a macro to unify varargs
handling with alloc_workqueue(), and, while at it, add comment to
alloc_workqueue().
None of the current in-kernel users pass in string with '%' as constant
name and this change shouldn't cause any problem.

Take cwq->gcwq->lock to avoid racing between drain_workqueue checking to

We discovered this when a corner case in one of our drivers resulted in
us trying to destroy a workqueue in which the remaining work would
always requeue itself again in the same workqueue. We would hit this

If a rescuer and stop_machine() bringing down a CPU race with each
other, they may deadlock on non-preemptive kernel. The CPU won't
accept a new task, so the rescuer can't migrate to the target CPU,
while stop_machine() can't proceed because the rescuer is holding one
of the CPU retrying migration. GCWQ_DISASSOCIATED is never cleared
and worker_maybe_bind_and_lock() retries indefinitely.

Percpu allocator honors alignment request upto PAGE_SIZE and both the
percpu addresses in the percpu address space and the translated kernel
addresses should be aligned accordingly. The calculation of the
former depends on the alignment of percpu output section in the kernel
image.
The linker script macros PERCPU_VADDR() and PERCPU() are used to
define this output section and the latter takes @align parameter.
Several architectures are using @align smaller than PAGE_SIZE breaking
percpu memory alignment.
This patch removes @align parameter from PERCPU(), renames it to
PERCPU_SECTION() and makes it always align to PAGE_SIZE. While at it,
add PCPU_SETUP_BUG_ON() checks such that alignment problems are
reliably detected and remove percpu alignment comment recently added
in workqueue.c as the condition would trigger BUG way before reaching
there.
For um, this patch raises the alignment of percpu area. As the area
is in .init, there shouldn't be any noticeable difference.

Currently, the lockdep annotation in flush_work() requires exclusive
access on the workqueue the target work is queued on and triggers
warning if a work is trying to flush another work on the same
workqueue; however, this is no longer true as workqueues can now
execute multiple works concurrently.
This patch adds lock_map_acquire_read() and make process_one_work()
hold read access to the workqueue while executing a work and
start_flush_work() check for write access if concurrnecy level is one
or the workqueue has a rescuer (as only one execution resource - the
rescuer - is guaranteed to be available under memory pressure), and
read access if higher.
This better represents what's going on and removes spurious lockdep
warnings which are triggered by fake dependency chain created through
flush_work().

Currently, destroy_workqueue() makes the workqueue deny all new
queueing by setting WQ_DYING and flushes the workqueue once before
proceeding with destruction; however, there are cases where work items
queue more related work items. Currently, such users need to
explicitly flush the workqueue multiple times depending on the
possible depth of such chained queueing.
This patch updates the queueing path such that a work item can queue
further work items on the same workqueue even when WQ_DYING is set.
The flush on destruction is automatically retried until the workqueue
is empty. This guarantees that the workqueue is empty on destruction
while allowing chained queueing.
The flush retry logic whines if it takes too many retries to drain the
workqueue.

The likely()s in this case were assuming that WORKER_NOT_RUNNING will
most likely be false. But this is not the case. The reason is
(and shown by adding trace_printks and testing it) that most of the time
WORKER_PREP is set.
In worker_thread() we have:
worker_clr_flags(worker, WORKER_PREP);
[ do work stuff ]
worker_set_flags(worker, WORKER_PREP, false);
(that 'false' means not to wake up an idle worker)
The wq_worker_sleeping() is called from schedule when a worker thread
is putting itself to sleep. Which happens most of the time outside
of that [ do work stuff ].
The wq_worker_waking_up is called by the wakeup worker code, which
is also callod outside that [ do work stuff ].
Thus, the likely and unlikely used by those two functions are actually
backwards.

In the MN10300 arch, we occasionally see an assertion being tripped in
alloc_cwqs() at the following line:
/* just in case, make sure it's actually aligned */
---> BUG_ON(!IS_ALIGNED(wq->cpu_wq.v, align));
return wq->cpu_wq.v ? 0 : -ENOMEM;
The values are:
wa->cpu_wq.v => 0x902776e0
align => 0x100
and align is calculated by the following:
const size_t align = max_t(size_t, 1 << WORK_STRUCT_FLAG_BITS,
__alignof__(unsigned long long));
This is because the pointer in question (wq->cpu_wq.v) loses some of its
lower bits to control flags, and so the object it points to must be
sufficiently aligned to avoid the need to use those bits for pointing to
things.
Currently, 4 control bits and 4 colour bits are used in normal
circumstances, plus a debugging bit if debugging is set. This requires
the cpu_workqueue_struct struct to be at least 256 bytes aligned (or 512
bytes aligned with debugging).
PERCPU() alignment on MN13000, however, is only 32 bytes as set in
vmlinux.lds.S. So we set this to PAGE_SIZE (4096) to match most other
arches and stick a comment in alloc_cwqs() for anyone else who triggers
the assertion.

The policy function keep_working() didn't check GCWQ_HIGHPRI_PENDING
and could return %false with highpri work pending. This could lead to
late execution of a highpri work which was delayed due to @max_active
throttling if other works are actively consuming CPU cycles.
For example, the following could happen.
1. Work W0 which burns CPU cycles.
2. Two works W1 and W2 are queued to a highpri wq w/ @max_active of 1.
3. W1 starts executing and W2 is put to delayed queue. W0 and W1 are
both runnable.
4. W1 finishes which puts W2 to pending queue but keep_working()
incorrectly returns %false and the worker goes to sleep.
5. W0 finishes and W2 starts execution.
With this patch applied, W2 starts execution as soon as W1 finishes.

Define workqueue_work event class and use it for workqueue_execute_end
trace point. Also, move trace/events/workqueue.h include downwards
such that all struct definitions are visible to it. This is to
prepare for more tracepoints and doesn't cause any functional change.

Implement flush[_delayed]_work_sync(). These are flush functions
which also make sure no CPU is still executing the target work from
earlier queueing instances. These are similar to
cancel[_delayed]_work_sync() except that the target work item is
flushed instead of cancelled.

Factor out start_flush_work() from flush_work(). start_flush_work()
has @wait_executing argument which controls whether the barrier is
queued only if the work is pending or also if executing. As
flush_work() needs to wait for execution too, it uses %true.
This commit doesn't cause any behavior difference. start_flush_work()
will be used to implement flush_work_sync().

Make the following cleanup changes.
* Relocate flush/cancel function prototypes and definitions.
* Relocate wait_on_cpu_work() and wait_on_work() before
try_to_grab_pending(). These will be used to implement
flush_work_sync().
* Make all flush/cancel functions return bool instead of int.
* Update wait_on_cpu_work() and wait_on_work() to return %true if they
actually waited.
* Add / update comments.
This patch doesn't cause any functional changes.

alloc_mayday_mask() was using alloc_cpumask_var() making
gcwq->mayday_mask contain garbage after initialization on
CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y configurations. This combined with the
previously fixed GCWQ_DISASSOCIATED initialization bug could make
rescuers fall into infinite loop trying to bind to an offline cpu.

init_workqueues() incorrectly marks workqueues for all possible CPUs
associated. Combined with mayday_mask initialization bug, this can
make rescuers keep trying to bind to an offline gcwq indefinitely.
Fix init_workqueues() such that only online CPUs have their gcwqs have
GCWQ_DISASSOCIATED cleared.

cwq->nr_active is used to keep track of how many work items are active
for the cpu workqueue, where 'active' is defined as either pending on
global worklist or executing. This is used to implement the
max_active limit and workqueue freezing. If a work item is queued
after nr_active has already reached max_active, the work item doesn't
increment nr_active and is put on the delayed queue and gets activated
later as previous active work items retire.
try_to_grab_pending() which is used in the cancellation path
unconditionally decremented nr_active whether the work item being
cancelled is currently active or delayed, so cancelling a delayed work
item makes nr_active underflow. This breaks max_active enforcement
and triggers BUG_ON() in destroy_workqueue() later on.
This patch fixes this bug by adding a flag WORK_STRUCT_DELAYED, which
is set while a work item in on the delayed list and making
try_to_grab_pending() decrement nr_active iff the work item is
currently active.
The addition of the flag enlarges cwq alignment to 256 bytes which is
getting a bit too large. It's scheduled to be reduced back to 128
bytes by merging WORK_STRUCT_PENDING and WORK_STRUCT_CWQ in the next
devel cycle.

Now that the worklist is global, having works pending after wq
destruction can easily lead to oops and destroy_workqueue() have
several BUG_ON()s to catch these cases. Unfortunately, BUG_ON()
doesn't tell much about how the work became pending after the final
flush_workqueue().
This patch adds WQ_DYING which is set before the final flush begins.
If a work is requested to be queued on a dying workqueue,
WARN_ON_ONCE() is triggered and the request is ignored. This clearly
indicates which caller is trying to queue a work on a dying workqueue
and keeps the system working in most cases.
Locking rule comment is updated such that the 'I' rule includes
modifying the field from destruction path.
