"rcu_work addition and a couple trivial changes"
* 'for-4.17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq:
workqueue: remove the comment about the old manager_arb mutex
workqueue: fix the comments of nr_idle
fs/aio: Use rcu_work instead of explicit rcu and work item
cgroup: Use rcu_work instead of explicit rcu and work item
RCU, workqueue: Implement rcu_work
There are cases where RCU callback needs to be bounced to a sleepable
context. This is currently done by the RCU callback queueing a work
item, which can be cumbersome to write and confusing to read.
This patch introduces rcu_work, a workqueue work variant which gets
executed after a RCU grace period, and converts the open coded
bouncing in fs/aio and kernel/cgroup.
v3: Dropped queue_rcu_work_on(). Documented rcu grace period behavior
after queue_rcu_work().
v2: Use rcu_barrier() instead of synchronize_rcu() to wait for
completion of previously queued rcu callback as per Paul.

Introduce a helper to retrieve the current task's work struct if it is
a workqueue worker.
This allows us to fix a long-standing deadlock in several DRM drivers
wherein the ->runtime_suspend callback waits for a specific worker to
finish and that worker in turn calls a function which waits for runtime
suspend to finish. That function is invoked from multiple call sites
and waiting for runtime suspend to finish is the correct thing to do
except if it's executing in the context of the worker.

With all callbacks converted, and the timer callback prototype
switched over, the TIMER_FUNC_TYPE cast is no longer needed,
so remove it. Conversion was done with the following scripts:
perl -pi -e 's|\(TIMER_FUNC_TYPE\)||g' \
$(git grep TIMER_FUNC_TYPE | cut -d: -f1 | sort -u)
perl -pi -e 's|\(TIMER_DATA_TYPE\)||g' \

Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"Yet another big pile of changes:
- More year 2038 work from Arnd slowly reaching the point where we
need to think about the syscalls themself.
- A new timer function which allows to conditionally (re)arm a timer
only when it's either not running or the new expiry time is sooner
than the armed expiry time. This allows to use a single timer for
multiple timeout requirements w/o caring about the first expiry
time at the call site.
- A new NMI safe accessor to clock real time for the printk timestamp
work. Can be used by tracing, perf as well if required.
- A large number of timer setup conversions from Kees which got
collected here because either maintainers requested so or they
simply got ignored. As Kees pointed out already there are a few
trivial merge conflicts and some redundant commits which was
unavoidable due to the size of this conversion effort.
- Avoid a redundant iteration in the timer wheel softirq processing.
- Provide a mechanism to treat RTC implementations depending on their
hardware properties, i.e. don't inflict the write at the 0.5
seconds boundary which originates from the PC CMOS RTC to all RTCs.
No functional change as drivers need to be updated separately.
- The usual small updates to core code clocksource drivers. Nothing
really exciting"

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

to be either executed on an online CPU or to fail if the CPU is not
available the callsite would have to protect against CPU hotplug.

Pull workqueue updates from Tejun Heo:
"Mostly patches to initialize workqueue subsystem earlier and get rid
of keventd_up().
The patches were headed for the last merge cycle but got delayed due
to a bug found late minute, which is fixed now.
Also, to help debugging, destroy_workqueue() is more chatty now on a
sanity check failure."
* 'for-4.10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq:

tty, workqueue: remove keventd_up() usage
mce, workqueue: remove keventd_up() usage
workqueue: make workqueue available early during boot
workqueue: dump workqueue state on sanity check failures in destroy_workqueue()
Workqueue is currently initialized in an early init call; however,
there are cases where early boot code has to be split and reordered to
come after workqueue initialization or the same code path which makes
use of workqueues is used both before workqueue initailization and
after. The latter cases have to gate workqueue usages with
keventd_up() tests, which is nasty and easy to get wrong.
Workqueue usages have become widespread and it'd be a lot more
convenient if it can be used very early from boot. This patch splits
workqueue initialization into two steps. workqueue_init_early() which
sets up the basic data structures so that workqueues can be created
and work items queued, and workqueue_init() which actually brings up
workqueues online and starts executing queued work items. The former
step can be done very early during boot once memory allocation,
cpumasks and idr are initialized. The latter right after kthreads
become available.
This allows work item queueing and canceling from very early boot
which is what most of these use cases want.
* As systemd_wq being initialized doesn't indicate that workqueue is
fully online anymore, update keventd_up() to test wq_online instead.
The follow-up patches will get rid of all its usages and the
function itself.
* Flushing doesn't make sense before workqueue is fully initialized.
The flush functions trigger WARN and return immediately before fully
online.
* Work items are never in-flight before fully online. Canceling can
always succeed by skipping the flush step.
* Some code paths can no longer assume to be called with irq enabled
as irq is disabled during early boot. Use irqsave/restore
operations instead.

workqueue_init_early() to workqueue_init().

fca839c00a ("workqueue: warn if memory reclaim tries to flush
!WQ_MEM_RECLAIM workqueue") implemented flush dependency warning which
triggers if a PF_MEMALLOC task or WQ_MEM_RECLAIM workqueue tries to
flush a !WQ_MEM_RECLAIM workquee.
This assumes that workqueues marked with WQ_MEM_RECLAIM sit in memory
reclaim path and making it depend on something which may need more
memory to make forward progress can lead to deadlocks. Unfortunately,
workqueues created with the legacy create*_workqueue() interface
always have WQ_MEM_RECLAIM regardless of whether they are depended
upon memory reclaim or not. These spurious WQ_MEM_RECLAIM markings
cause spurious triggering of the flush dependency checks.

Fixes: fca839c00a ("workqueue: warn if memory reclaim tries to flush !WQ_MEM_RECLAIM workqueue")
Workqueue stalls can happen from a variety of usage bugs such as
missing WQ_MEM_RECLAIM flag or concurrency managed work item
indefinitely staying RUNNING. These stalls can be extremely difficult
to hunt down because the usual warning mechanisms can't detect
workqueue stalls and the internal state is pretty opaque.
To alleviate the situation, this patch implements workqueue lockup
detector. It periodically monitors all worker_pools periodically and,
if any pool failed to make forward progress longer than the threshold
duration, triggers warning and dumps workqueue state as follows.

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();

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
uses cpulist_pr_cont().

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

completion, wakes up A
__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.

work item and exclusive wait and wakeup.
v2: v1 used wake_up() on bit_waitqueue() which leads to NULL deref if

create_singlethread_workqueue() is a compat interface for single
threaded workqueue which maps to ordered workqueue w/ rescuer in the
current implementation. create_singlethread_workqueue() currently
implemented by invoking alloc_workqueue() w/ appropriate parameters.
8719dceae2 ("workqueue: reject adjusting max_active or applying
attrs to ordered workqueues") introduced __WQ_ORDERED to protect
ordered workqueues against dynamic attribute changes which can break
ordering guarantees but forgot to apply it to
create_singlethread_workqueue(). This in itself is okay as nobody
currently uses dynamic attribute change on workqueues created with
create_singlethread_workqueue().
However, 4c16bd327c ("workqueue: implement NUMA affinity for unbound
workqueues") broke singlethreaded guarantee for ordered workqueues
through allocating a separate pool_workqueue on each NUMA node by
default. A later change 8a2b753844 ("workqueue: fix ordered
workqueues in NUMA setups") fixed it by allocating only one global
pool_workqueue if __WQ_ORDERED is set.
Combined, the __WQ_ORDERED omission in create_singlethread_workqueue()
became critical breaking its single threadedness and ordering
guarantee.
Let's make create_singlethread_workqueue() wrap
alloc_ordered_workqueue() instead so that it inherits __WQ_ORDERED and
can implicitly track future ordered_workqueue changes.
v2: I missed that __WQ_ORDERED now protects against pwq splitting
across NUMA nodes and incorrectly described the patch as a
nice-to-have fix to protect against future dynamic attribute
usages. Oleg pointed out that this is actually a critical
breakage due to 8a2b753844 ("workqueue: fix ordered workqueues
in NUMA setups").

Peter Hurley noticed that since a2c1c57be8 ("workqueue: consider
work function when searching for busy work items"), a work item which
gets assigned a different work function would break out of the
non-reentrancy guarantee as workqueue would consider it a different
work item.
This is fragile and extremely subtle. PREPARE_[DELAYED_]WORK() have
never been used widely and its semantics has always been somewhat
iffy. If the work item is known not to be on queue when
PREPARE_WORK() is called, there's no difference from using
INIT_WORK(). If the work item may be queued at the time of
PREPARE_WORK(), we can't really tell whether the old or new function
will be executed the next time.
We really don't want this level of subtlety in workqueue interface for
such marginal use cases. The previous patches converted all existing
users away from PREPARE_[DELAYED_]WORK(). Let's remove them.

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.
tj: Updated config description and comments. Renamed
CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT to CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT_DEFAULT.
