Current modification to attrs via sysfs is not fully synchronized.
Process A (change cpumask) | Process B (change numa affinity)

It results that the Process B's operation is totally reverted

Applying attrs requires two locks: get_online_cpus() and wq_pool_mutex,
and this code is duplicated at two places (apply_workqueue_attrs() and
workqueue_set_unbound_cpumask()). So we separate out this locking
code into apply_wqattrs_[un]lock() and do a minor refactor on
apply_workqueue_attrs().
The apply_wqattrs_[un]lock() will be also used on later patch for
ensuring attrs changes are properly synchronized.

wq_update_unbound_numa() is known be called with wq_pool_mutex held.
But wq_update_unbound_numa() requests wq->mutex before reading
wq->unbound_attrs, wq->numa_pwq_tbl[] and wq->dfl_pwq. But these fields
were changed to be allowed being read with wq_pool_mutex held. So we
simply remove the mutex_lock(&wq->mutex).
Without the dependence on the the mutex_lock(&wq->mutex), the test
of wq->unbound_attrs->no_numa can also be moved upward.
The old code need a long comment to describe the stableness of
@wq->unbound_attrs which is also guaranteed by wq_pool_mutex now,
so we don't need this such comment.

Current wq_pool_mutex doesn't proctect the attrs-installation, it results
that ->unbound_attrs, ->numa_pwq_tbl[] and ->dfl_pwq can only be accessed
under wq->mutex and causes some inconveniences. Example, wq_update_unbound_numa()
has to acquire wq->mutex before fetching the wq->unbound_attrs->no_numa
and the old_pwq.
attrs-installation is a short operation, so this change will no cause any
latency for other operations which also acquire the wq_pool_mutex.
The only unprotected attrs-installation code is in apply_workqueue_attrs(),
so this patch touches code less than comments.
It is also a preparation patch for next several patches which read
wq->unbound_attrs, wq->numa_pwq_tbl[] and wq->dfl_pwq with
only wq_pool_mutex held.

Allow to modify the low-level unbound workqueues cpumask through
sysfs. This is performed by traversing the entire workqueue list
and calling apply_wqattrs_prepare() on the unbound workqueues
with the new low level mask. Only after all the preparation are done,
we commit them all together.
Ordered workqueues are ignored from the low level unbound workqueue
cpumask, it will be handled in near future.
All the (default & per-node) pwqs are mandatorily controlled by
the low level cpumask. If the user configured cpumask doesn't overlap
with the low level cpumask, the low level cpumask will be used for the
wq instead.
The comment of wq_calc_node_cpumask() is updated and explicitly
requires that its first argument should be the attrs of the default
pwq.
The default wq_unbound_cpumask is cpu_possible_mask. The workqueue
subsystem doesn't know its best default value, let the system manager
or the other subsystem set it when needed.
Changed from V8:
merge the calculating code for the attrs of the default pwq together.
minor change the code&comments for saving the user configured attrs.
remove unnecessary list_del().
minor update the comment of wq_calc_node_cpumask().
update the comment of workqueue_set_unbound_cpumask();

Create a cpumask that limits the affinity of all unbound workqueues.
This cpumask is controlled through a file at the root of the workqueue
sysfs directory.
It works on a lower-level than the per WQ_SYSFS workqueues cpumask files
such that the effective cpumask applied for a given unbound workqueue is
the intersection of /sys/devices/virtual/workqueue/$WORKQUEUE/cpumask and
the new /sys/devices/virtual/workqueue/cpumask file.
This patch implements the basic infrastructure and the read interface.
wq_unbound_cpumask is initially set to cpu_possible_mask.

Current apply_workqueue_attrs() includes pwqs-allocation and pwqs-installation,
so when we batch multiple apply_workqueue_attrs()s as a transaction, we can't
ensure the transaction must succeed or fail as a complete unit.
To solve this, we split apply_workqueue_attrs() into three stages.
The first stage does the preparation: allocation memory, pwqs.
The second stage does the attrs-installaion and pwqs-installation.
The third stage frees the allocated memory and (old or unused) pwqs.
As the result, batching multiple apply_workqueue_attrs()s can
succeed or fail as a complete unit:
1) batch do all the first stage for all the workqueues
2) only commit all when all the above succeed.
This patch is a preparation for the next patch ("Allow modifying low level
unbound workqueue cpumask") which will do a multiple apply_workqueue_attrs().
The patch doesn't have functionality changed except two minor adjustment:
1) free_unbound_pwq() for the error path is removed, we use the
heavier version put_pwq_unlocked() instead since the error path
is rare. this adjustment simplifies the code.
2) the memory-allocation is also moved into wq_pool_mutex.
this is needed to avoid to do the further splitting.

The sysfs code usually belongs to the botom of the file since it deals
with high level objects. In the workqueue code it's misplaced and such
that we'll need to work around functions references to allow the sysfs
code to call APIs like apply_workqueue_attrs().
Lets move that block further in the file, almost the botom.
And declare workqueue_sysfs_unregister() just before destroy_workqueue()
which reference it.

Workqueues are used extensively throughout the kernel but sometimes
it's difficult to debug stalls involving work items because visibility
into its inner workings is fairly limited. Although sysrq-t task dump
annotates each active worker task with the information on the work
item being executed, it is challenging to find out which work items
are pending or delayed on which queues and how pools are being
managed.
This patch implements show_workqueue_state() which dumps all busy
workqueues and pools and is called from the sysrq-t handler. At the
end of sysrq-t dump, something like the following is printed.
Showing busy workqueues and worker pools:
...
workqueue filler_wq: flags=0x0
pwq 2: cpus=1 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 active=2/256
in-flight: 491:filler_workfn, 507:filler_workfn
pwq 0: cpus=0 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 active=2/256
in-flight: 501:filler_workfn
pending: filler_workfn
...
workqueue test_wq: flags=0x8
pwq 2: cpus=1 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 active=1/1
in-flight: 510(RESCUER):test_workfn BAR(69) BAR(500)
delayed: test_workfn1 BAR(492), test_workfn2
...
pool 0: cpus=0 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 workers=2 manager: 137
pool 2: cpus=1 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 workers=3 manager: 469
pool 3: cpus=1 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=-20 workers=2 idle: 16
pool 8: cpus=0-3 flags=0x4 nice=0 workers=2 manager: 62
The above shows that test_wq is executing test_workfn() on pid 510
which is the rescuer and also that there are two tasks 69 and 500
waiting for the work item to finish in flush_work(). As test_wq has
max_active of 1, there are two work items for test_workfn1() and
test_workfn2() which are delayed till the current work item is
finished. In addition, pid 492 is flushing test_workfn1().
The work item for test_workfn() is being executed on pwq of pool 2
which is the normal priority per-cpu pool for CPU 1. The pool has
three workers, two of which are executing filler_workfn() for
filler_wq and the last one is assuming the manager role trying to
create more workers.
This extra workqueue state dump will hopefully help chasing down hangs
involving workqueues.
v3: cpulist_pr_cont() replaced with "%*pbl" printf formatting.
v2: As suggested by Andrew, minor formatting change in pr_cont_work(),
printk()'s replaced with pr_info()'s, and cpumask printing now

The workqueues list is protected by wq_pool_mutex and a workqueue and
its subordinate data structures are freed directly on destruction. We
want to add the ability dump workqueues from a sysrq callback which
requires walking all workqueues without grabbing wq_pool_mutex. This
patch makes freeing of workqueues RCU protected and makes the
workqueues list walkable while holding RCU read lock.
Note that pool_workqueues and pools are already sched-RCU protected.
For consistency, workqueues are also protected with sched-RCU.
While at it, reverse the workqueues list so that a workqueue which is
created earlier comes before. The order of the list isn't significant
functionally but this makes the planned sysrq dump list system
workqueues first.

cancel[_delayed]_work_sync() are implemented using
__cancel_work_timer() which grabs the PENDING bit using
try_to_grab_pending() and then flushes the work item with PENDING set
to prevent the on-going execution of the work item from requeueing
itself.
try_to_grab_pending() can always grab PENDING bit without blocking
except when someone else is doing the above flushing during
cancelation. In that case, try_to_grab_pending() returns -ENOENT. In
this case, __cancel_work_timer() currently invokes flush_work(). The
assumption is that the completion of the work item is what the other
canceling task would be waiting for too and thus waiting for the same
condition and retrying should allow forward progress without excessive
busy looping
Unfortunately, this doesn't work if preemption is disabled or the
latter task has real time priority. Let's say task A just got woken
up from flush_work() by the completion of the target work item. If,
before task A starts executing, task B gets scheduled and invokes
__cancel_work_timer() on the same work item, its try_to_grab_pending()
will return -ENOENT as the work item is still being canceled by task A
and flush_work() will also immediately return false as the work item
is no longer executing. This puts task B in a busy loop possibly
preventing task A from executing and clearing the canceling state on
the work item leading to a hang.
task A task B worker

__cancel_work_timer()
while (forever) {
try_to_grab_pending()
-ENOENT as work is being canceled
flush_work()
false as work is no longer executing
}
This patch removes the possible hang by updating __cancel_work_timer()
to explicitly wait for clearing of CANCELING rather than invoking
flush_work() after try_to_grab_pending() fails with -ENOENT.

A worker_pool's forward progress is guaranteed by the fact that the
last idle worker assumes the manager role to create more workers and
summon the rescuers if creating workers doesn't succeed in timely
manner before proceeding to execute work items.
This manager role is implemented in manage_workers(), which indicates
whether the worker may proceed to work item execution with its return
value. This is necessary because multiple workers may contend for the
manager role, and, if there already is a manager, others should
proceed to work item execution.
Unfortunately, the function also indicates that the worker may proceed
to work item execution if need_to_create_worker() is false at the head
of the function. need_to_create_worker() tests the following
conditions.
pending work items && !nr_running && !nr_idle
The first and third conditions are protected by pool->lock and thus
won't change while holding pool->lock; however, nr_running can change
asynchronously as other workers block and resume and while it's likely
to be zero, as someone woke this worker up in the first place, some
other workers could have become runnable inbetween making it non-zero.
If this happens, manage_worker() could return false even with zero
nr_idle making the worker, the last idle one, proceed to execute work
items. If then all workers of the pool end up blocking on a resource
which can only be released by a work item which is pending on that
pool, the whole pool can deadlock as there's no one to create more
workers or summon the rescuers.
This patch fixes the problem by removing the early exit condition from
maybe_create_worker() and making manage_workers() return false iff
there's already another manager, which ensures that the last worker
doesn't start executing work items.
We can leave the early exit condition alone and just ignore the return
value but the only reason it was put there is because the
manage_workers() used to perform both creations and destructions of
workers and thus the function may be invoked while the pool is trying
to reduce the number of workers. Now that manage_workers() is called
only when more workers are needed, the only case this early exit
condition is triggered is rare race conditions rendering it pointless.
Tested with simulated workload and modified workqueue code which
trigger the pool deadlock reliably without this patch.

When there is serious memory pressure, all workers in a pool could be
blocked, and a new thread cannot be created because it requires memory
allocation.
In this situation a WQ_MEM_RECLAIM workqueue will wake up the
rescuer thread to do some work.
The rescuer will only handle requests that are already on ->worklist.
If max_requests is 1, that means it will handle a single request.
The rescuer will be woken again in 100ms to handle another max_requests
requests.
I've seen a machine (running a 3.0 based "enterprise" kernel) with
thousands of requests queued for xfslogd, which has a max_requests of
1, and is needed for retiring all 'xfs' write requests. When one of
the worker pools gets into this state, it progresses extremely slowly
and possibly never recovers (only waited an hour or two).
With this patch we leave a pool_workqueue on mayday list
until it is clearly no longer in need of assistance. This allows
all requests to be handled in a timely fashion.
We keep each pool_workqueue on the mayday list until
need_to_create_worker() is false, and no work for this workqueue is
found in the pool.
I have tested this in combination with a (hackish) patch which forces
all work items to be handled by the rescuer thread. In that context
it significantly improves performance. A similar patch for a 3.0
kernel significantly improved performance on a heavy work load.
Thanks to Jan Kara for some design ideas, and to Dongsu Park for
some comments and testing.

But it is incorrect now since the wq->flush_mutex was renamed to

needed. But the comment was miss-updated when the synchronization
was changed.
This patch removes the incorrect comments and doesn't add any new

better comment.

It is unnecessary. worker_detach_from_pool() can be used as the last

put_unbound_pool() will wait for it to detach and then free the pool.

remove the original start_worker() and create_and_start_worker().
The only trade-off is the introduced overhead that the pool->lock
is released and regrabbed after the newly worker is started.
The overhead is acceptible since the manager is slow path.
And because this new locking behavior, the newly created worker
may grab the lock earlier than the manager and go to process
work items. In this case, the recheck need_to_create_worker() may be
true as expected and the manager goes to restart which is the
correct behavior.

worker_set_flags() has only two callers, each specifying %true and

@wakeup from worker_set_flags(). The caller can use the following
instead if wakeup is necessary:
worker_set_flags();
if (need_more_worker(pool))
wake_up_worker(pool);

the first test is unneeded. Even if the first test is removed, it
doesn't affect the wake-up logic for WORKER_UNBOUND, and it will not
introduce any useless wake-ups for normal per-cpu workers since

In my investigation, I found the root cause is wq_numa_possible_cpumask.
All entries of wq_numa_possible_cpumask is allocated by
alloc_cpumask_var_node(). And these entries are used without initializing.
So these entries have wrong value.
When hot-adding and onlining CPU, wq_update_unbound_numa() is called.
wq_update_unbound_numa() calls alloc_unbound_pwq(). And alloc_unbound_pwq()
calls get_unbound_pool(). In get_unbound_pool(), worker_pool->node is set
as follow:
3592 /* if cpumask is contained inside a NUMA node, we belong to that node */
3593 if (wq_numa_enabled) {
3594 for_each_node(node) {
3595 if (cpumask_subset(pool->attrs->cpumask,
3596 wq_numa_possible_cpumask[node])) {
3597 pool->node = node;
3598 break;
3599 }
3600 }
3601 }
But wq_numa_possible_cpumask[node] does not have correct cpumask. So, wrong
node is selected. As a result, kernel panic occurs.
By this patch, all entries of wq_numa_possible_cpumask are allocated by
zalloc_cpumask_var_node to initialize them. And the panic disappeared.

The commit ea1abd6197 ("workqueue: reimplement idle worker rebinding")
used a trick which simply removes all to-be-bound idle workers from the
idle list and lets them add themselves back after completing rebinding.
And this trick caused the @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.
The commit/trick was complicated due to it just tried to simplify an even
more complicated problem (workers had to rebind itself). But the commit
a9ab775bca ("workqueue: directly restore CPU affinity of workers
from CPU_ONLINE") fixed all these problems and the mentioned trick was
useless and is gone.
So, now the @worker_pool->nr_idle is exactly the actual number of workers
on @worker_pool->idle_list. too_many_workers() should recover as it was
before the trick. So we remove the empty check.

There is a piece of sanity checks code in the put_unbound_pool().
The meaning of this code is "if it is not an unbound pool, it will complain

imprecisely due to a non-unbound pool may also have this flags.
We should use "pool->cpu < 0" to stand for an unbound pool, so we covert the
code to it.
There is no strictly wrong if we still keep "pool->flags & POOL_DISASSOCIATED"
here, but it is just a noise if we keep it:
1) we focus on "unbound" here, not "[dis]association".

Currently, the global freezing state is propagated to worker_pools via
POOL_FREEZING and then to each workqueue; however, the middle step -
propagation through worker_pools - can be skipped as long as one or
more max_active adjustments happens for each workqueue after the
update to the global state is visible. The global workqueue freezing
state and the max_active adjustments during workqueue creation and
[un]freezing are serialized with wq_pool_mutex, so it's trivial to
guarantee that max_actives stay in sync with global freezing state.
POOL_FREEZING is unnecessary and makes the code more confusing and
complicates freeze_workqueues_begin() and thaw_workqueues() by
requiring them to walk through all pools.

There are several problems with the code that rescuers use to bind
themselve to the target pool's cpumask.
1) It is very different from how the normal workers bind to cpumask,
increasing code complexity and maintenance overhead.
2) The code of cpu-binding for rescuers is complicated.
3) If one or more cpu hotplugs happen while a rescuer is processing
its scheduled work items, the rescuer may not stay bound to the
cpumask of the pool. This is an allowed behavior, but is still
hairy. It will be better if the cpumask of the rescuer is always
kept synchronized with the pool across cpu hotplugs.
Using generic attach/detach routine will solve the above problems and

In create_worker(), as pool->worker_ida now uses
ida_simple_get()/ida_simple_put() and doesn't require external
synchronization, it doesn't need manager_mutex.
struct worker allocation and kthread allocation are not visible by any
one before attached, so they don't need manager_mutex either.
The above operations are before the attaching operation which attaches
the worker to the pool. Between attaching and starting the worker, the
worker is already attached to the pool, so the cpu hotplug will handle
cpu-binding for the worker correctly and we don't need the
manager_mutex after attaching.
The conclusion is that only the attaching operation needs manager_mutex,
so we narrow the protection section of manager_mutex in create_worker().
Some comments about manager_mutex are removed, because we will rename
it to attach_mutex and add worker_attach_to_pool() later which will be

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

worker destruction includes these parts of code:
adjust pool's stats
remove the worker from idle list
detach the worker from the pool
kthread_stop() to wait for the worker's task exit
free the worker struct
We can find out that there is no essential work to do after
kthread_stop(), which means destroy_worker() doesn't need to wait for
the worker's task exit, so we can remove kthread_stop() and free the
worker struct in the worker exiting path.
However, put_unbound_pool() still needs to sync the all the workers'
destruction before destroying the pool; otherwise, the workers may
access to the invalid pool when they are exiting.
So we also move the code of "detach the worker" to the exiting
path and let put_unbound_pool() to sync with this code via
detach_completion.
The code of "detach the worker" is wrapped in a new function
"worker_detach_from_pool()" although worker_detach_from_pool() is only
called once (in worker_thread()) after this patch, but we need to wrap
it for these reasons:
1) The code of "detach the worker" is not short enough to unfold them
in worker_thread().
2) the name of "worker_detach_from_pool()" is self-comment, and we add
some comments above the function.
3) it will be shared by rescuer in later patch which allows rescuer
and normal thread use the same attach/detach frameworks.
The worker id is freed when detaching which happens before the worker
is fully dead, but this id of the dying worker may be re-used for a
new worker, so the dying worker's task name is changed to
"worker/dying" to avoid two or several workers having the same name.
Since "detach the worker" is moved out from destroy_worker(),
destroy_worker() doesn't require manager_mutex, so the
"lockdep_assert_held(&pool->manager_mutex)" in destroy_worker() is
removed, and destroy_worker() is not protected by manager_mutex in
put_unbound_pool().

We used to have the CPU online failure path where a worker is created
and then destroyed without being started. A worker was created for
the CPU coming online and if the online operation failed the created worker
was shut down without being started. But this behavior was changed.
The first worker is created and started at the same time for the CPU coming
online.
It means that we had already ensured in the code that destroy_worker()
destroys only idle workers and we don't want to allow it to destroy
any non-idle worker in the future. Otherwise, it may be buggy and it
may be extremely hard to check. We should force destroy_worker() to
destroy only idle workers explicitly.
Since destroy_worker() destroys only idle workers, this patch does not
change any functionality. We just need to update the comments and the
sanity check code.
In the sanity check code, we will refuse to destroy the worker
if !(worker->flags & WORKER_IDLE).
If the worker entered idle which means it is already started,
so we remove the check of "worker->flags & WORKER_STARTED",
after this removal, WORKER_STARTED is totally unneeded,
so we remove WORKER_STARTED too.
In the comments for create_worker(), "Create a new worker which is bound..."
is changed to "... which is attached..." due to we change the name of this
behavior to attaching.

When a kworker should die, the kworkre is notified through WORKER_DIE
flag instead of kthread_should_stop(). This, IIRC, is primarily to
keep the test synchronized inside worker_pool lock. WORKER_DIE is
first set while holding pool->lock, the lock is dropped and
kthread_stop() is called.
Unfortunately, this means that there's a slight chance that the target
kworker may see WORKER_DIE before kthread_stop() finishes and exits
and frees the target task before or during kthread_stop().
Fix it by pinning the target task before setting WORKER_DIE and
putting it after kthread_stop() is done.
tj: Improved patch description and comment. Moved pinning above
WORKER_DIE for better signify what it's protecting.

.probe method).

When one work starts execution, the high bits of work's data contain
pool ID. It can represent a maximum of WORK_OFFQ_POOL_NONE. Pool ID
is assigned WORK_OFFQ_POOL_NONE when the work being initialized
indicating that no pool is associated and get_work_pool() uses it to
check the associated pool. So if worker_pool_assign_id() assigns a
ID greater than or equal WORK_OFFQ_POOL_NONE to a pool, it triggers
leakage, and it may break the non-reentrance guarantee.
This patch fix this issue by modifying the worker_pool_assign_id()
function calling idr_alloc() by setting @end param WORK_OFFQ_POOL_NONE.
Furthermore, in the current implementation, the BUILD_BUG_ON() in
init_workqueues makes no sense. The number of worker pools needed
cannot be determined at compile time, because the number of backing
pools for UNBOUND workqueues is dynamic based on the assigned custom
attributes. So remove it.

An ordered workqueue implements execution ordering by using single
pool_workqueue with max_active == 1. On a given pool_workqueue, work
items are processed in FIFO order and limiting max_active to 1
enforces the queued work items to be processed one by one.
Unfortunately, 4c16bd327c ("workqueue: implement NUMA affinity for
unbound workqueues") accidentally broke this guarantee by applying
NUMA affinity to ordered workqueues too. On NUMA setups, an ordered
workqueue would end up with separate pool_workqueues for different
nodes. Each pool_workqueue still limits max_active to 1 but multiple
work items may be executed concurrently and out of order depending on
which node they are queued to.
Fix it by using dedicated ordered_wq_attrs[] when creating ordered
workqueues. The new attrs match the unbound ones except that no_numa
is always set thus forcing all NUMA nodes to share the default
pool_workqueue.
While at it, add sanity check in workqueue creation path which
verifies that an ordered workqueues has only the default
pool_workqueue.

If !PREEMPT, a kworker running work items back to back can hog CPU.
This becomes dangerous when a self-requeueing work item which is
waiting for something to happen races against stop_machine. Such
self-requeueing work item would requeue itself indefinitely hogging
the kworker and CPU it's running on while stop_machine would wait for
that CPU to enter stop_machine while preventing anything else from
happening on all other CPUs. The two would deadlock.
Jamie Liu reports that this deadlock scenario exists around
scsi_requeue_run_queue() and libata port multiplier support, where one
port may exclude command processing from other ports. With the right
timing, scsi_requeue_run_queue() can end up requeueing itself trying
to execute an IO which is asked to be retried while another device has
an exclusive access, which in turn can't make forward progress due to
stop_machine.
Fix it by invoking cond_resched() after executing each work item.

It is false-positive lockdep report. In this sutiation,
the two "wfc"s of the two work_on_cpu() are different,
they are both on stack. flush_work() can't be deadlock.
To fix this, we need to avoid the lockdep checking in this case,
thus we instroduce a internal __flush_work() which skip the lockdep.

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.
After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.
This removes all the uses of the __cpuinit macros from C files in
the core kernel directories (kernel, init, lib, mm, and include)
that don't really have a specific maintainer.

Pull workqueue changes from Tejun Heo:
"Surprisingly, Lai and I didn't break too many things implementing
custom pools and stuff last time around and there aren't any follow-up
changes necessary at this point.
The only change in this pull request is Viresh's patches to make some
per-cpu workqueues to behave as unbound workqueues dependent on a boot
param whose default can be configured via a config option. This leads
to higher processing overhead / lower bandwidth as more work items are
bounced across CPUs; however, it can lead to noticeable powersave in
certain configurations - ~10% w/ idlish constant workload on a
big.LITTLE configuration according to Viresh.
This is because per-cpu workqueues interfere with how the scheduler
perceives whether or not each CPU is idle by forcing pinned tasks on
them, which makes the scheduler's power-aware scheduling decisions
less effective.
Its effectiveness is likely less pronounced on homogenous
configurations and this type of optimization can probably be made
automatic; however, the changes are pretty minimal and the affected
workqueues are clearly marked, so it's an easy gain for some
configurations for the time being with pretty unintrusive changes."

Workqueues can be performance or power-oriented. Currently, most workqueues are
bound to the CPU they were created on. This gives good performance (due to cache
effects) at the cost of potentially waking up otherwise idle cores (Idle from
scheduler's perspective. Which may or may not be physically idle) just to
process some work. To save power, we can allow the work to be rescheduled on a
core that is already awake.
Workqueues created with the WQ_UNBOUND flag will allow some power savings.
However, we don't change the default behaviour of the system. To enable
power-saving behaviour, a new config option CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT needs to
be turned on. This option can also be overridden by the
workqueue.power_efficient boot parameter.

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.

destroy_workqueue() performs several sanity checks before proceeding
with destruction of a workqueue. One of the checks verifies that
refcnt of each pwq (pool_workqueue) is over 1 as at that point there
should be no in-flight work items and the only holder of pwq refs is
the workqueue itself.
This worked fine as a workqueue used to hold only one reference to its
pwqs; however, since 4c16bd327c ("workqueue: implement NUMA affinity
for unbound workqueues"), a workqueue may hold multiple references to
its default pwq triggering this sanity check spuriously.
Fix it by not triggering the pwq->refcnt assertion on default pwqs.

Merge tag 'v3.9-rc5' into wq/for-3.10
Writeback conversion to workqueue will be based on top of wq/for-3.10
branch to take advantage of custom attrs and NUMA support for unbound

conflicting commits, we need a pre-merge-window merge anyway. Let's

Unbound workqueues are now NUMA aware. Let's add some control knobs
and update sysfs interface accordingly.
* Add kernel param workqueue.numa_disable which disables NUMA affinity
globally.
* Replace sysfs file "pool_id" with "pool_ids" which contain
node:pool_id pairs. This change is userland-visible but "pool_id"
hasn't seen a release yet, so this is okay.
* Add a new sysf files "numa" which can toggle NUMA affinity on
individual workqueues. This is implemented as attrs->no_numa whichn
is special in that it isn't part of a pool's attributes. It only
affects how apply_workqueue_attrs() picks which pools to use.
After "pool_ids" change, first_pwq() doesn't have any user left.

Currently, an unbound workqueue has single current, or first, pwq
(pool_workqueue) to which all new work items are queued. This often
isn't optimal on NUMA machines as workers may jump around across node
boundaries and work items get assigned to workers without any regard
to NUMA affinity.
This patch implements NUMA affinity for unbound workqueues. Instead
of mapping all entries of numa_pwq_tbl[] to the same pwq,
apply_workqueue_attrs() now creates a separate pwq covering the
intersecting CPUs for each NUMA node which has online CPUs in
@attrs->cpumask. Nodes which don't have intersecting possible CPUs
are mapped to pwqs covering whole @attrs->cpumask.
As CPUs come up and go down, the pool association is changed
accordingly. Changing pool association may involve allocating new
pools which may fail. To avoid failing CPU_DOWN, each workqueue
always keeps a default pwq which covers whole attrs->cpumask which is
used as fallback if pool creation fails during a CPU hotplug
operation.
This ensures that all work items issued on a NUMA node is executed on
the same node as long as the workqueue allows execution on the CPUs of
the node.
As this maps a workqueue to multiple pwqs and max_active is per-pwq,
this change the behavior of max_active. The limit is now per NUMA
node instead of global. While this is an actual change, max_active is
already per-cpu for per-cpu workqueues and primarily used as safety
mechanism rather than for active concurrency control. Concurrency is
usually limited from workqueue users by the number of concurrently
active work items and this change shouldn't matter much.
v2: Fixed pwq freeing in apply_workqueue_attrs() error path. Spotted
by Lai.
v3: The previous version incorrectly made a workqueue spanning
multiple nodes spread work items over all online CPUs when some of
its nodes don't have any desired cpus. Reimplemented so that NUMA
affinity is properly updated as CPUs go up and down. This problem
was spotted by Lai Jiangshan.
v4: destroy_workqueue() was putting wq->dfl_pwq and then clearing it;
however, wq may be freed at any time after dfl_pwq is put making
the clearing use-after-free. Clear wq->dfl_pwq before putting it.
v5: apply_workqueue_attrs() was leaking @tmp_attrs, @new_attrs and
@pwq_tbl after success. Fixed.
Retry loop in wq_update_unbound_numa_attrs() isn't necessary as
application of new attrs is excluded via CPU hotplug. Removed.

Now that an unbound worker pool may have an arbitrary cpumask

inside a NUMA node proper, the pool is associated with that node, and

With the recent addition of the custom attributes support, unbound
pools may have allowed cpumask which isn't full. As long as some of
CPUs in the cpumask are online, its workers will maintain cpus_allowed
as set on worker creation; however, once no online CPU is left in
cpus_allowed, the scheduler will reset cpus_allowed of any workers
which get scheduled so that they can execute.
To remain compliant to the user-specified configuration, CPU affinity
needs to be restored when a CPU becomes online for an unbound pool
which doesn't currently have any online CPUs before.
This patch implement restore_unbound_workers_cpumask(), which is
called from CPU_ONLINE for all unbound pools, checks whether the
coming up CPU is the first allowed online one, and, if so, invokes
set_cpus_allowed_ptr() with the configured cpumask on all workers.

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

PF_THREAD_BOUND was originally used to mark kernel threads which were

set allows cpus_allowed modifications only to itself. Workqueue is
currently abusing it to prevent userland from meddling with

What we need is a flag to prevent userland from messing with
cpus_allowed of certain kernel tasks. In kernel, anyone can
(incorrectly) squash the flag, and, for worker-type usages,
restricting cpus_allowed modification to the task itself doesn't
provide meaningful extra proection as other tasks can inject work

When a manager creates or destroys workers, the operations are always
done with the manager_mutex held; however, initial worker creation or
worker destruction during pool release don't grab the mutex. They are
still correct as initial worker creation doesn't require
synchronization and grabbing manager_arb provides enough exclusion for
pool release path.
Still, let's make everyone follow the same rules for consistency and
such that lockdep annotations can be added.
Update create_and_start_worker() and put_unbound_pool() to grab
manager_mutex around thread creation and destruction respectively and
add lockdep assertions to create_worker() and destroy_worker().

Manager operations are currently governed by two mutexes -
pool->manager_arb and ->assoc_mutex. The former is used to decide who
gets to be the manager and the latter to exclude the actual manager
operations including creation and destruction of workers. Anyone who
grabs ->manager_arb must perform manager role; otherwise, the pool
might stall.
Grabbing ->assoc_mutex blocks everyone else from performing manager
operations but doesn't require the holder to perform manager duties as
it's merely blocking manager operations without becoming the manager.
Because the blocking was necessary when [dis]associating per-cpu
workqueues during CPU hotplug events, the latter was named
assoc_mutex. The mutex is scheduled to be used for other purposes, so
this patch gives it a more fitting generic name - manager_mutex - and
updates / adds comments to explain synchronization around the manager
role and operations.
This patch is pure rename / doc update.

Since 9e8cd2f589 ("workqueue: implement apply_workqueue_attrs()"),
init_and_link_pwq() may be called to initialize a new pool_workqueue

The new function should be called with workqueue_lock held for stable
workqueue->saved_max_active, determines the current max_active value
the target pool_workqueue should be using from @wq->saved_max_active
and the state of the associated pool, and applies it with proper
synchronization.
The current two users - workqueue_set_max_active() and
thaw_workqueues() - are updated accordingly. In addition, the manual
freezing handling in __alloc_workqueue_key() and
freeze_workqueues_begin() are replaced with calls to
pwq_adjust_max_active().

Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
There are cases where workqueue users want to expose control knobs to
userland. e.g. Unbound workqueues with custom attributes are
scheduled to be used for writeback workers and depending on
configuration it can be useful to allow admins to tinker with the
priority or allowed CPUs.
This patch implements workqueue_sysfs_register(), which makes the
workqueue visible under /sys/bus/workqueue/devices/WQ_NAME. There
currently are two attributes common to both per-cpu and unbound pools
and extra attributes for unbound pools including nice level and
cpumask.
If alloc_workqueue*() is called with WQ_SYSFS,
workqueue_sysfs_register() is called automatically as part of
workqueue creation. This is the preferred method unless the workqueue
user wants to apply workqueue_attrs before making the workqueue
visible to userland.

Adjusting max_active of or applying new workqueue_attrs to an ordered
workqueue breaks its ordering guarantee. The former is obvious. The
latter is because applying attrs creates a new pwq (pool_workqueue)
and there is no ordering constraint between the old and new pwqs.
Make apply_workqueue_attrs() and workqueue_set_max_active() trigger
WARN_ON() if those operations are requested on an ordered workqueue
and fail / ignore respectively.

Implement apply_workqueue_attrs() which applies workqueue_attrs to the
specified unbound workqueue by creating a new pwq (pool_workqueue)
linked to worker_pool with the specified attributes.
A new pwq is linked at the head of wq->pwqs instead of tail and
__queue_work() verifies that the first unbound pwq has positive refcnt
before choosing it for the actual queueing. This is to cover the case
where creation of a new pwq races with queueing. As base ref on a pwq
won't be dropped without making another pwq the first one,
__queue_work() is guaranteed to make progress and not add work item to
a dead pwq.
init_and_link_pwq() is updated to return the last first pwq the new
pwq replaced, which is put by apply_workqueue_attrs().
Note that apply_workqueue_attrs() is almost identical to unbound pwq
part of alloc_and_link_pwqs(). The only difference is that there is
no previous first pwq. apply_workqueue_attrs() is implemented to
handle such cases and replaces unbound pwq handling in

Because per-cpu workqueues have multiple pwqs (pool_workqueues) to
serve the CPUs, to guarantee that a single work item isn't queued on
one pwq while still executing another, __queue_work() takes a look at
the previous pool the target work item was on and if it's still
executing there, queue the work item on that pool.
To support changing workqueue_attrs on the fly, unbound workqueues too
will have multiple pwqs and thus need non-reentrancy test when
queueing. This patch modifies __queue_work() such that the reentrancy
test is performed regardless of the workqueue type.
per_cpu_ptr(wq->cpu_pwqs, cpu) used to be used to determine the

Add pool_workqueue->refcnt along with get/put_pwq(). Both per-cpu and
unbound pwqs have refcnts and any work item inserted on a pwq
increments the refcnt which is dropped when the work item finishes.
For per-cpu pwqs the base ref is never dropped and destroy_workqueue()
frees the pwqs as before. For unbound ones, destroy_workqueue()
simply drops the base ref on the first pwq. When the refcnt reaches
zero, pwq_unbound_release_workfn() is scheduled on system_wq, which
unlinks the pwq, puts the associated pool and frees the pwq and wq as
necessary. This needs to be done from a work item as put_pwq() needs
to be protected by pool->lock but release can't happen with the lock
held - e.g. put_unbound_pool() involves blocking operations.
Unbound pool->locks are marked with lockdep subclas 1 as put_pwq()
will schedule the release work item on system_wq while holding the
unbound pool's lock and triggers recursive locking warning spuriously.

This patch makes unbound worker_pools reference counted and

keyed by the content of worker_pool->attrs.
When an unbound workqueue is allocated, get_unbound_pool() is called
with the attributes of the workqueue. If there already is a matching
worker_pool, the reference count is bumped and the pool is returned.
If not, a new worker_pool with matching attributes is created and
returned.
When an unbound workqueue is destroyed, put_unbound_pool() is called
which decrements the reference count of the associated worker_pool.
If the refcnt reaches zero, the worker_pool is destroyed in sched-RCU
safe way.
Note that the standard unbound worker_pools - normal and highpri ones
with no specific cpumask affinity - are no longer created explicitly
during init_workqueues(). init_workqueues() only initializes

The three freeze/thaw related functions - freeze_workqueues_begin(),

through all pool_workqueues of all freezable workqueues. They did it
by first iterating pools and then visiting all pwqs (pool_workqueues)
of all workqueues and process it if its pwq->pool matches the current
pool. This is rather backwards and done this way partly because
workqueue didn't have fitting iteration helpers and partly to avoid
the number of lock operations on pool->lock.
Workqueue now has fitting iterators and the locking operation overhead
isn't anything to worry about - those locks are unlikely to be
contended and the same CPU visiting the same set of locks multiple
times isn't expensive.

Since multiple pools per cpu have been introduced, wq_unbind_fn() has
a subtle bug which may theoretically stall work item processing. The
problem is two-fold.
* wq_unbind_fn() depends on the worker executing wq_unbind_fn() itself
to start unbound chain execution, which works fine when there was
only single pool. With multiple pools, only the pool which is
running wq_unbind_fn() - the highpri one - is guaranteed to have
such kick-off. The other pool could stall when its busy workers
block.
* The current code is setting WORKER_UNBIND / POOL_DISASSOCIATED of
the two pools in succession without initiating work execution
inbetween. Because setting the flags requires grabbing assoc_mutex
which is held while new workers are created, this could lead to
stalls if a pool's manager is waiting for the previous pool's work
items to release memory. This is almost purely theoretical tho.
Update wq_unbind_fn() such that it sets WORKER_UNBIND /
POOL_DISASSOCIATED, goes over schedule() and explicitly kicks off
execution for a pool and then moves on to the next one.

under pressure. Currently, rescuer->pool is updated outside any
locking and when an outsider looks at a rescuer, there's no way to
tell when and whether rescuer->pool is gonna change. While this
doesn't currently cause any problem, it is nasty.
With recent worker_maybe_bind_and_lock() changes, we can move
rescuer->pool updates inside pool locks such that if rescuer->pool
equals a locked pool, it's guaranteed to stay that way until the pool
is unlocked.
Move rescuer->pool inside pool->lock.
This patch doesn't introduce any visible behavior difference.

I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived
list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member)
The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter:
hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member)
Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only
they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking
exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate.
Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required:
- Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h
- Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones.
- A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this
was modified to use 'obj->member' instead.
- Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator
properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.

workqueue has moved away from global_cwqs to worker_pools and with the
scheduled custom worker pools, wforkqueues will be associated with
pools which don't have anything to do with CPUs. The workqueue code
went through significant amount of changes recently and mass renaming
isn't likely to hurt much additionally. Let's replace 'cpu' with
'pool' so that it reflects the current design.

c9e7cf273f ("workqueue: move busy_hash from global_cwq to

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).

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
associated with it and if not, considers it idle. This works fine
even for delayed_work.work queued on timer, as __queue_delayed_work()
sets cwq on delayed_work.work - a queued delayed_work always has its
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
before the associated pool. This doesn't make any noticeable behavior
difference now.
With work_pending() test moved, the function read a lot better with

PF_WQ_WORKER is used to tell scheduler that the task is a workqueue
worker and needs wq_worker_sleeping/waking_up() invoked on it for
concurrency management. As rescuers never participate in concurrency
management, PF_WQ_WORKER wasn't set on them.
There's a need for an interface which can query whether %current is
executing a work item and if so which. Such interface requires a way
to identify all tasks which may execute work items and PF_WQ_WORKER
will be used for that. As all normal workers always have PF_WQ_WORKER
set, we only need to add it to rescuers.
As rescuers start with WORKER_PREP but never clear it, it's always
NOT_RUNNING and there's no need to worry about it interfering with
concurrency management even if PF_WQ_WORKER is set; however, unlike
normal workers, rescuers currently don't have its worker struct as
kthread_data(). It uses the associated workqueue_struct instead.
This is problematic as wq_worker_sleeping/waking_up() expect struct
worker at kthread_data().
This patch adds worker->rescue_wq and start rescuer kthreads with
worker struct as kthread_data and sets PF_WQ_WORKER on rescuers.

42f8570f43 ("workqueue: use new hashtable implementation") incorrectly
made busy workers hashed by the pointer value of worker instead of
work. This broke find_worker_executing_work() which in turn broke a
lot of fundamental operations of workqueue - non-reentrancy and
flushing among others. The flush malfunction triggered warning in
disk event code in Fengguang's automated test.

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.

workqueue: add WARN_ON_ONCE() on CPU number to wq_worker_waking_up()
workqueue: trivial fix for return statement in work_busy()
8852aac25e ("workqueue: mod_delayed_work_on() shouldn't queue timer on
0 delay") unexpectedly uncovered a very nasty abuse of delayed_work in
megaraid - it allocated work_struct, casted it to delayed_work and
then pass that into queue_delayed_work().
Previously, this was okay because 0 @delay short-circuited to
queue_work() before doing anything with delayed_work. 8852aac25e
moved 0 @delay test into __queue_delayed_work() after sanity check on
delayed_work making megaraid trigger BUG_ON().
Although megaraid is already fixed by c1d390d8e6 ("megaraid: fix
BUG_ON() from incorrect use of delayed work"), this patch converts
BUG_ON()s in __queue_delayed_work() to WARN_ON_ONCE()s so that such
abusers, if there are more, trigger warning but don't crash the

Recently, workqueue code has gone through some changes and we found
some bugs related to concurrency management operations happening on
the wrong CPU. When a worker is concurrency managed
(!WORKER_NOT_RUNNIG), it should be bound to its associated cpu and
woken up to that cpu. Add WARN_ON_ONCE() to verify this.

8376fe22c7 ("workqueue: implement mod_delayed_work[_on]()")
implemented mod_delayed_work[_on]() using the improved
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."

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.

This patch restores POOL_MANAGING_WORKERS which was replaced by
pool->manager_mutex by 6037315269 "workqueue: use mutex for global_cwq
manager exclusion".
There's a subtle idle worker depletion bug across CPU hotplug events
and we need to distinguish an actual manager and CPU hotplug
preventing management. POOL_MANAGING_WORKERS will be used for the
former and manager_mutex the later.
This patch just lays POOL_MANAGING_WORKERS on top of the existing
manager_mutex and doesn't introduce any synchronization changes. The
next patch will update it.
Note that this patch fixes a non-critical anomaly where
too_many_workers() may return %true spuriously while CPU hotplug is in
progress. While the issue could schedule idle timer spuriously, it
didn't trigger any actual misbehavior.

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.

This doesn't make any functional difference and is purely to help the
next patch to be simpler.

The compiler may compile the following code into TWO write/modify
instructions.
worker->flags &= ~WORKER_UNBOUND;
worker->flags |= WORKER_REBIND;
so the other CPU may temporarily see worker->flags which doesn't have
either WORKER_UNBOUND or WORKER_REBIND set and perform local wakeup
prematurely.
Fix it by using single explicit assignment via ACCESS_ONCE().
Because idle workers have another WORKER_NOT_RUNNING flag, this bug
doesn't exist for them; however, update it to use the same pattern for
consistency.
tj: Applied the change to idle workers too and updated comments and
patch description a bit.

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
would still point to the last associated cpu_workqueue. If the
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
try_to_grab_pending() and set_work_cpu_and_clear_pending(). This
allows the function to be called from IRQ handlers and makes its
behavior consistent with other flush / cancel functions.

Up to now, for delayed_works, try_to_grab_pending() couldn't be used
from IRQ handlers because IRQs may happen while
delayed_work_timer_fn() is in progress leading to indefinite -EAGAIN.
This patch makes delayed_work use the new TIMER_IRQSAFE flag for
delayed_work->timer. This makes try_to_grab_pending() and thus
mod_delayed_work_on() safe to call from IRQ handlers.

Now that all workqueues are non-reentrant, system[_freezable]_wq() are
equivalent to system_nrt[_freezable]_wq(). Replace the latter with
wrappers around system[_freezable]_wq(). The wrapping goes through
inline functions so that __deprecated can be added easily.
