When adding a new fd to an epoll, and that this new fd is an
epoll fd itself, we recursively scan the fds attached to it
to detect cycles, and add non-epool files to a "check list"
that gets subsequently parsed.
However, this check list isn't completely safe when deletions
can happen concurrently. To sidestep the issue, make sure that
a struct file placed on the check list sees its f_count increased,
ensuring that a concurrent deletion won't result in the file
disapearing from under our feet.

There is a possible race when ep_scan_ready_list() leaves ->rdllist and
->obflist empty for a short period of time although some events are
pending. It is quite likely that ep_events_available() observes empty
lists and goes to sleep.
Since commit 339ddb53d3 ("fs/epoll: remove unnecessary wakeups of
nested epoll") we are conservative in wakeups (there is only one place
for wakeup and this is ep_poll_callback()), thus ep_events_available()
must always observe correct state of two lists.
The easiest and correct way is to do the final check under the lock.
This does not impact the performance, since lock is taken anyway for
adding a wait entry to the wait queue.
The discussion of the problem can be found here:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-fsdevel/a2f22c3c-c25a-4bda-8339-a7bdaf17849e@akamai.com/
In this patch barrierless __set_current_state() is used. This is safe
since waitqueue_active() is called under the same lock on wakeup side.
Short-circuit for fatal signals (i.e. fatal_signal_pending() check) is
moved to the line just before actual events harvesting routine. This is
fully compliant to what is said in the comment of the patch where the
actual fatal_signal_pending() check was added: c257a340ed ("fs, epoll:
short circuit fetching events if thread has been killed").

This patch does two things:
- fixes a lost wakeup introduced by commit 339ddb53d3 ("fs/epoll:
remove unnecessary wakeups of nested epoll")
- improves performance for events delivery.
The description of the problem is the following: if N (>1) threads are
waiting on ep->wq for new events and M (>1) events come, it is quite
likely that >1 wakeups hit the same wait queue entry, because there is
quite a big window between __add_wait_queue_exclusive() and the
following __remove_wait_queue() calls in ep_poll() function.
This can lead to lost wakeups, because thread, which was woken up, can
handle not all the events in ->rdllist. (in better words the problem is
described here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/10/7/905)
The idea of the current patch is to use init_wait() instead of
init_waitqueue_entry().
Internally init_wait() sets autoremove_wake_function as a callback,
which removes the wait entry atomically (under the wq locks) from the
list, thus the next coming wakeup hits the next wait entry in the wait
queue, thus preventing lost wakeups.
Problem is very well reproduced by the epoll60 test case [1].
Wait entry removal on wakeup has also performance benefits, because
there is no need to take a ep->lock and remove wait entry from the queue
after the successful wakeup. Here is the timing output of the epoll60
test case:
With explicit wakeup from ep_scan_ready_list() (the state of the
code prior 339ddb53d3):
real 0m6.970s
user 0m49.786s
sys 0m0.113s
After this patch:
real 0m5.220s
user 0m36.879s
sys 0m0.019s
The other testcase is the stress-epoll [2], where one thread consumes
all the events and other threads produce many events:
With explicit wakeup from ep_scan_ready_list() (the state of the
code prior 339ddb53d3):
threads events/ms run-time ms
8 5427 1474
16 6163 2596
32 6824 4689
64 7060 9064
128 6991 18309
After this patch:
threads events/ms run-time ms
8 5598 1429
16 7073 2262
32 7502 4265
64 7640 8376
128 7634 16767
(number of "events/ms" represents event bandwidth, thus higher is
better; number of "run-time ms" represents overall time spent
doing the benchmark, thus lower is better)

In the event that we add to ovflist, before commit 339ddb53d3
("fs/epoll: remove unnecessary wakeups of nested epoll") we would be
woken up by ep_scan_ready_list, and did no wakeup in ep_poll_callback.
With that wakeup removed, if we add to ovflist here, we may never wake
up. Rather than adding back the ep_scan_ready_list wakeup - which was
resulting in unnecessary wakeups, trigger a wake-up in ep_poll_callback.
We noticed that one of our workloads was missing wakeups starting with
339ddb53d3 and upon manual inspection, this wakeup seemed missing to me.
With this patch added, we no longer see missing wakeups. I haven't yet
tried to make a small reproducer, but the existing kselftests in
filesystem/epoll passed for me with this patch.

Davidlohr Bueso pointed out that when CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC is set
ep_poll_safewake() can take several non-raw spinlocks after disabling
interrupts. Since a spinlock can block in the -rt kernel, we can't take a
spinlock after disabling interrupts. So let's re-work how we determine
the nesting level such that it plays nicely with the -rt kernel.
Let's introduce a 'nests' field in struct eventpoll that records the
current nesting level during ep_poll_callback(). Then, if we nest again
we can find the previous struct eventpoll that we were called from and
increase our count by 1. The 'nests' field is protected by
ep->poll_wait.lock.
I've also moved the visited field to reduce the size of struct eventpoll
from 184 bytes to 176 bytes on x86_64 for !CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC, which
is typical for a production config.

This fixes possible lost wakeup introduced by commit a218cc4914.
Originally modifications to ep->wq were serialized by ep->wq.lock, but
in commit a218cc4914 ("epoll: use rwlock in order to reduce
ep_poll_callback() contention") a new rw lock was introduced in order to
relax fd event path, i.e. callers of ep_poll_callback() function.
After the change ep_modify and ep_insert (both are called on epoll_ctl()
path) were switched to ep->lock, but ep_poll (epoll_wait) was using
ep->wq.lock on wqueue list modification.
The bug doesn't lead to any wqueue list corruptions, because wake up
path and list modifications were serialized by ep->wq.lock internally,
but actual waitqueue_active() check prior wake_up() call can be
reordered with modifications of ep ready list, thus wake up can be lost.
And yes, can be healed by explicit smp_mb():
list_add_tail(&epi->rdlink, &ep->rdllist);
smp_mb();
if (waitqueue_active(&ep->wq))
wake_up(&ep->wp);
But let's make it simple, thus current patch replaces ep->wq.lock with
the ep->lock for wqueue modifications, thus wake up path always observes
activeness of the wqueue correcty.

Currently, ep_poll_safewake() in the CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC case uses

checks for epoll depth and loops that are already verified when doing
EPOLL_CTL_ADD. This mirrors a conversion that was done for

In the sysctl code the proc_dointvec_minmax() function is often used to
validate the user supplied value between an allowed range. This
function uses the extra1 and extra2 members from struct ctl_table as
minimum and maximum allowed value.
On sysctl handler declaration, in every source file there are some
readonly variables containing just an integer which address is assigned
to the extra1 and extra2 members, so the sysctl range is enforced.
The special values 0, 1 and INT_MAX are very often used as range
boundary, leading duplication of variables like zero=0, one=1,
int_max=INT_MAX in different source files:
$ git grep -E '\.extra[12].*&(zero|one|int_max)' |wc -l
248
Add a const int array containing the most commonly used values, some
macros to refer more easily to the correct array member, and use them
instead of creating a local one for every object file.

task->saved_sigmask and ->restore_sigmask are only used in the ret-from-

->saved_sigmask and do set_restore_sigmask() to indicate that ->blocked
was modified.
This way the callers do not need 2 sigset_t's passed to set/restore and
restore_user_sigmask() renamed to restore_saved_sigmask_unless() turns
into the trivial helper which just calls restore_saved_sigmask().

Commit 854a6ed568 ("signal: Add restore_user_sigmask()") introduced
the visible change which breaks user-space: a signal temporary unblocked
by set_user_sigmask() can be delivered even if the caller returns
success or timeout.
Change restore_user_sigmask() to accept the additional "interrupted"
argument which should be used instead of signal_pending() check, and
update the callers.

The goal of this patch is to reduce contention of ep_poll_callback()
which can be called concurrently from different CPUs in case of high
events rates and many fds per epoll. Problem can be very well
reproduced by generating events (write to pipe or eventfd) from many
threads, while consumer thread does polling. In other words this patch
increases the bandwidth of events which can be delivered from sources to
the poller by adding poll items in a lockless way to the list.
The main change is in replacement of the spinlock with a rwlock, which
is taken on read in ep_poll_callback(), and then by adding poll items to
the tail of the list using xchg atomic instruction. Write lock is taken
everywhere else in order to stop list modifications and guarantee that
list updates are fully completed (I assume that write side of a rwlock
does not starve, it seems qrwlock implementation has these guarantees).
The following are some microbenchmark results based on the test [1]
which starts threads which generate N events each. The test ends when
all events are successfully fetched by the poller thread:
spinlock
========
threads events/ms run-time ms
8 6402 12495
16 7045 22709
32 7395 43268

=============
threads events/ms run-time ms
8 10038 7969
16 12178 13138
32 13223 24199
According to the results bandwidth of delivered events is significantly
increased, thus execution time is reduced.
This patch was tested with different sort of microbenchmarks and
artificial delays (e.g. "udelay(get_random_int() & 0xff)") introduced
in kernel on paths where items are added to lists.

Original comment "Activate ep->ws since epi->ws may get deactivated at
any time" indeed sounds loud, but it is incorrect, because the path
where we check epi->ws is a path where insert to ovflist happens, i.e.
ep_scan_ready_list() has taken ep->mtx and waits for this callback to
finish, thus ep_modify() (which unregisters wakeup source) waits for
ep_scan_ready_list().
Here in this patch I simply call ep_pm_stay_awake_rcu(), which is a bit
extra for this path (indirectly protected by main ep->mtx, so even rcu
is not needed), but I do not want to create another naked
__ep_pm_stay_awake() variant only for this particular case, so rcu variant
is just better for all the cases.

This patch (of 4):
All coming events are stored in FIFO order and this is also should be
applicable to ->ovflist, which originally is stack, i.e. LIFO.
Thus to keep correct FIFO order ->ovflist should reversed by adding
elements to the head of the read list but not to the tail.

It is currently called check_events because it, well, did exactly that.
However, since the lockless ep_events_available() call, the label no
longer checks, but just sends the events. Rename as such.

This patch aims at reducing ep wq.lock hold times in epoll_wait(2). For
the blocking case, there is no need to constantly take and drop the
spinlock, which is only needed to manipulate the waitqueue.
The call to ep_events_available() is now lockless, and only exposed to
benign races. Here, if false positive (returns available events and
does not see another thread deleting an epi from the list) we call into
send_events and then the list's state is correctly seen. Otoh, if a
false negative and we don't see a list_add_tail(), for example, from irq
callback, then it is rechecked again before blocking, which will see the
correct state.
In order for more accuracy to see concurrent list_del_init(), use the
list_empty_careful() variant -- of course, this won't be safe against
insertions from wakeup.
For the overflow list we obviously need to prevent load/store tearing as
we don't want to see partial values while the ready list is disabled.

The ep->ovflist is a secondary ready-list to temporarily store events
that might occur when doing sproc without holding the ep->wq.lock. This
accounts for every time we check for ready events and also send events
back to userspace; both callbacks, particularly the latter because of
copy_to_user, can account for a non-trivial time.
As such, the unlikely() check to see if the pointer is being used, seems
both misleading and sub-optimal. In fact, we go to an awful lot of
trouble to sync both lists, and populating the ovflist is far from an
uncommon scenario.
For example, profiling a concurrent epoll_wait(2) benchmark, with
CONFIG_PROFILE_ANNOTATED_BRANCHES shows that for a two threads a 33%
incorrect rate was seen; and when incrementally increasing the number of
epoll instances (which is used, for example for multiple queuing load
balancing models), up to a 90% incorrect rate was seen.
Similarly, by deleting the prediction, 3% throughput boost was seen
across incremental threads.

Patch series "epoll: some miscellaneous optimizations".
The following are some incremental optimizations on some of the epoll
core. Each patch has the details, but together, the series is seen to
shave off measurable cycles on a number of systems and workloads.
For example, on a 40-core IB, a pipetest as well as parallel
epoll_wait() benchmark show around a 20-30% increase in raw operations
per second when the box is fully occupied (incremental thread counts),
and up to 15% performance improvement with lower counts.
Passes ltp epoll related testcases.

Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument
of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the
old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand.
It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect
bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any
user access. But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these
days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact.
A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range
checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to
move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model. And it's best done at
the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's
just get this done once and for all.
This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for
the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form.
There were a couple of notable cases:
- csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias.
- the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual
values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing
really used it)
- microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout
but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch.
I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for
access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed
something. Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though.

Similar to other calls, ep_poll() is not called with interrupts disabled,
and we can therefore avoid the irq save/restore dance and just disable
local irqs. In fact, the call should never be called in irq context at
all, considering that the only path is
epoll_wait(2) -> do_epoll_wait() -> ep_poll().

epoll_wait(2) microbenchmark, the following performance improvements are

Patch series "fs/epoll: loosen irq safety when possible".
Both patches replace saving+restoring interrupts when taking the ep->lock
(now the waitqueue lock), with just disabling local irqs. This shows
immediate performance benefits in patch 1 for an epoll workload running on
Xen. The main concern we need to have with this sort of changes in epoll
is the ep_poll_callback() which is passed to the wait queue wakeup and is
done very often under irq context, this patch does not touch this call.
Patches have been tested pretty heavily with the customer workload,
microbenchmarks, ltp testcases and two high level workloads that use epoll
under the hood: nginx and libevent benchmarks.
This patch (of 2):
Saving and restoring interrupts in ep_scan_ready_list() is an
overkill as it is never called with interrupts disabled. Loosen
this to simply disabling local irqs such that archs where managing
irqs is expensive or virtual environments. This patch yields
some throughput improvements on a workload that is epoll intensive
running on a single Xen DomU.
1 Job 7500 --> 8800 enq/s (+17%)
2 Jobs 14000 --> 15200 enq/s (+8%)
3 Jobs 20500 --> 22300 enq/s (+8%)
4 Jobs 25000 --> 28000 enq/s (+8-12)%
On bare metal:
For a 2-socket 40-core (ht) IvyBridge on a few workloads, unfortunately I
don't have a xen environment and the results for Xen I do have (which
numbers are in patch 1) I don't have the actual workload, so cannot
compare them directly.
1) Different configurations were used for a epoll_wait (pipes io)
microbench (http://linux-scalability.org/epoll/epoll-test.c) and shows
around a 7-10% improvement in overall total number of times the
epoll_wait() loops when using both regular and nested epolls, so very
raw numbers, but measurable nonetheless.

Patch series "waitqueue lockdep annotation", v3.
This series adds a strategic lockdep_assert_held to __wake_up_common to
ensure callers really do hold the wait_queue_head lock when calling the
unlocked wake_up variants. It turns out epoll did not do this for a
fairly common path (hit all the time by systemd during bootup), so the
second patch fixed this instance as well.
This patch (of 3):
The epoll code currently uses the unlocked waitqueue helpers for managing
ep->wq, but instead of holding the waitqueue lock around these calls, it
uses its own ep->lock spinlock. Given that the waitqueue is not exposed
to the rest of the kernel this actually works ok at the moment, but
prevents the epoll locking rules from being enforced using lockdep.
Remove ep->lock and use the waitqueue lock to not only reduce the size of
struct eventpoll but also to make sure we can assert locking invariants in
the waitqueue code.

The poll() changes were not well thought out, and completely
unexplained. They also caused a huge performance regression, because
"->poll()" was no longer a trivial file operation that just called down
to the underlying file operations, but instead did at least two indirect
calls.
Indirect calls are sadly slow now with the Spectre mitigation, but the
performance problem could at least be largely mitigated by changing the
"->get_poll_head()" operation to just have a per-file-descriptor pointer
to the poll head instead. That gets rid of one of the new indirections.
But that doesn't fix the new complexity that is completely unwarranted
for the regular case. The (undocumented) reason for the poll() changes
was some alleged AIO poll race fixing, but we don't make the common case
slower and more complex for some uncommon special case, so this all
really needs way more explanations and most likely a fundamental
redesign.

The use of ep_call_nested() in ep_eventpoll_poll(), which is the .poll
routine for an epoll fd, is used to prevent excessively deep epoll
nesting, and to prevent circular paths.
However, we are already preventing these conditions during
EPOLL_CTL_ADD. In terms of too deep epoll chains, we do in fact allow
deep nesting of the epoll fds themselves (deeper than EP_MAX_NESTS),
however we don't allow more than EP_MAX_NESTS when an epoll file
descriptor is actually connected to a wakeup source. Thus, we do not
require the use of ep_call_nested(), since ep_eventpoll_poll(), which is
called via ep_scan_ready_list() only continues nesting if there are
events available.
Since ep_call_nested() is implemented using a global lock, applications
that make use of nested epoll can see large performance improvements
with this change.

ep_poll_safewake() is used to wakeup potentially nested epoll file
descriptors. The function uses ep_call_nested() to prevent entering the
same wake up queue more than once, and to prevent excessively deep
wakeup paths (deeper than EP_MAX_NESTS). However, this is not necessary
since we are already preventing these conditions during EPOLL_CTL_ADD.
This saves extra function calls, and avoids taking a global lock during
the ep_call_nested() calls.
I have, however, left ep_call_nested() for the CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC
case, since ep_call_nested() keeps track of the nesting level, and this
is required by the call to spin_lock_irqsave_nested(). It would be nice
to remove the ep_call_nested() calls for the CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC
case as well, however its not clear how to simply pass the nesting level
through multiple wake_up() levels without more surgery. In any case, I
don't think CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC is generally used for production.
This patch, also apparently fixes a workload at Google that Salman Qazi

A userspace application can directly trigger the allocations from
eventpoll_epi and eventpoll_pwq slabs. A buggy or malicious application
can consume a significant amount of system memory by triggering such
allocations. Indeed we have seen in production where a buggy
application was leaking the epoll references and causing a burst of
eventpoll_epi and eventpoll_pwq slab allocations. This patch opt-in the
charging of eventpoll_epi and eventpoll_pwq slabs.
There is a per-user limit (~4% of total memory if no highmem) on these
caches. I think it is too generous particularly in the scenario where
jobs of multiple users are running on the system and the administrator
is reducing cost by overcomitting the memory. This is unaccounted
kernel memory and will not be considered by the oom-killer. I think by
accounting it to kmemcg, for systems with kmem accounting enabled, we
can provide better isolation between jobs of different users.

realize that nothing can protect eventpoll after ep_poll_callback() sets
->whead = NULL, only whead->lock can save us from the race with
ep_free() or ep_remove().
Move ->whead = NULL to the end of ep_poll_callback() and add the

With current epoll architecture target files are addressed with
file_struct and file descriptor number, where the last is not unique.
Moreover files can be transferred from another process via unix socket,
added into queue and closed then so we won't find this descriptor in the
task fdinfo list.
Thus to checkpoint and restore such processes CRIU needs to find out
where exactly the target file is present to add it into epoll queue.
For this sake one can use kcmp call where some particular target file
from the queue is compared with arbitrary file passed as an argument.
Because epoll target files can have same file descriptor number but
different file_struct a caller should explicitly specify the offset
within.
To test if some particular file is matching entry inside epoll one have
to
- fill kcmp_epoll_slot structure with epoll file descriptor,
target file number and target file offset (in case if only
one target is present then it should be 0)
- call kcmp as kcmp(pid1, pid2, KCMP_EPOLL_TFD, fd, &kcmp_epoll_slot)
- the kernel fetch file pointer matching file descriptor @fd of pid1
- lookups for file struct in epoll queue of pid2 and returns traditional
0,1,2 result for sorting purpose

Since it is possbile to have same number in tfd field (say file added,
closed, then nother file dup'ed to same number and added back) it is
imposible to distinguish such target files solely by their numbers.
Strictly speaking regular applications don't need to recognize these
targets at all but for checkpoint/restore sake we need to collect
targets to be able to push them back on restore stage in a proper order.
Thus lets add file position, inode and device number where this target
lays. This three fields can be used as a primary key for sorting, and
together with kcmp help CRIU can find out an exact file target (from the
whole set of processes being checkpointed).

We've encountered zombies that are waiting for a thread to exit that are
looping in ep_poll() almost endlessly although there is a pending
SIGKILL as a result of a group exit.
This happens because we always find ep_events_available() and fetch more
events and never are able to check for signal_pending() that would break
from the loop and return -EINTR.
Special case fatal signals and break immediately to guarantee that we
loop to fetch more events and delay making a timely exit.
It would also be possible to simply move the check for signal_pending()
higher than checking for ep_events_available(), but there have been no
reports of delayed signal handling other than SIGKILL preventing zombies
from exiting that would be fixed by this.
It fixes an issue for us where we have witnessed zombies sticking around
for at least O(minutes), but considering the code has been like this
forever and nobody else has complained that I have found, I would simply
queue it up for 4.12.

So I've noticed a number of instances where it was not obvious from the
code whether ->task_list was for a wait-queue head or a wait-queue entry.
Furthermore, there's a number of wait-queue users where the lists are
not for 'tasks' but other entities (poll tables, etc.), in which case
the 'task_list' name is actively confusing.
To clear this all up, name the wait-queue head and entry list structure
fields unambiguously:
struct wait_queue_head::task_list => ::head
struct wait_queue_entry::task_list => ::entry
For example, this code:
rqw->wait.task_list.next != &wait->task_list
... is was pretty unclear (to me) what it's doing, while now it's written this way:
rqw->wait.head.next != &wait->entry
... which makes it pretty clear that we are iterating a list until we see the head.
Other examples are:
list_for_each_entry_safe(pos, next, &x->task_list, task_list) {
list_for_each_entry(wq, &fence->wait.task_list, task_list) {
... where it's unclear (to me) what we are iterating, and during review it's
hard to tell whether it's trying to walk a wait-queue entry (which would be
a bug), while now it's written as:
list_for_each_entry_safe(pos, next, &x->head, entry) {
list_for_each_entry(wq, &fence->wait.head, entry) {

Rename:
wait_queue_t => wait_queue_entry_t
'wait_queue_t' was always a slight misnomer: its name implies that it's a "queue",
but in reality it's a queue *entry*. The 'real' queue is the wait queue head,
which had to carry the name.
Start sorting this out by renaming it to 'wait_queue_entry_t'.
This also allows the real structure name 'struct __wait_queue' to
lose its double underscore and become 'struct wait_queue_entry',
which is the more canonical nomenclature for such data types.

This patch adds busy poll support to epoll. The implementation is meant to
be opportunistic in that it will take the NAPI ID from the last socket
that is added to the ready list that contains a valid NAPI ID and it will
use that for busy polling until the ready list goes empty. Once the ready
list goes empty the NAPI ID is reset and busy polling is disabled until a
new socket is added to the ready list.
In addition when we insert a new socket into the epoll we record the NAPI
ID and assume we are going to receive events on it. If that doesn't occur
it will be evicted as the active NAPI ID and we will resume normal
behavior.
An application can use SO_INCOMING_CPU or SO_REUSEPORT_ATTACH_C/EBPF socket
options to spread the incoming connections to specific worker threads
based on the incoming queue. This enables epoll for each worker thread
to have only sockets that receive packets from a single queue. So when an
application calls epoll_wait() and there are no events available to report,
busy polling is done on the associated queue to pull the packets.

if (op == EPOLL_CTL_ADD && (is_file_epoll(tf.file) ||

struct timespec is not y2038 safe. Even though timespec might be
sufficient to represent timeouts, use struct timespec64 here as the plan
is to get rid of all timespec reference in the kernel.
The patch transitions the common functions: poll_select_set_timeout()
and select_estimate_accuracy() to use timespec64. And, all the syscalls
that use these functions are transitioned in the same patch.
The restart block parameters for poll uses monotonic time. Use
timespec64 here as well to assign timeout value. This parameter in the
restart block need not change because this only holds the monotonic
timestamp at which timeout should occur. And, unsigned long data type
should be big enough for this timestamp.
The system call interfaces will be handled in a separate series.
Compat interfaces need not change as timespec64 is an alias to struct
timespec on a 64 bit system.

This patchset introduces a /proc/<pid>/timerslack_ns interface which
would allow controlling processes to be able to set the timerslack value
on other processes in order to save power by avoiding wakeups (Something
Android currently does via out-of-tree patches).
The first patch tries to fix the internal timer_slack_ns usage which was
defined as a long, which limits the slack range to ~4 seconds on 32bit
systems. It converts it to a u64, which provides the same basically
unlimited slack (500 years) on both 32bit and 64bit machines.
The second patch introduces the /proc/<pid>/timerslack_ns interface
which allows the full 64bit slack range for a task to be read or set on
both 32bit and 64bit machines.
With these two patches, on a 32bit machine, after setting the slack on
bash to 10 seconds:
$ time sleep 1
real 0m10.747s
user 0m0.001s
sys 0m0.005s
The first patch is a little ugly, since I had to chase the slack delta
arguments through a number of functions converting them to u64s. Let me
know if it makes sense to break that up more or not.
Other than that things are fairly straightforward.
This patch (of 2):
The timer_slack_ns value in the task struct is currently a unsigned
long. This means that on 32bit applications, the maximum slack is just
over 4 seconds. However, on 64bit machines, its much much larger (~500
years).
This disparity could make application development a little (as well as
the default_slack) to a u64. This means both 32bit and 64bit systems
have the same effective internal slack range.
Now the existing ABI via PR_GET_TIMERSLACK and PR_SET_TIMERSLACK specify
the interface as a unsigned long, so we preserve that limitation on
32bit systems, where SET_TIMERSLACK can only set the slack to a unsigned
long value, and GET_TIMERSLACK will return ULONG_MAX if the slack is
actually larger then what can be stored by an unsigned long.
This patch also modifies hrtimer functions which specified the slack
delta as a unsigned long.

In the current implementation of the EPOLLEXCLUSIVE flag (added for
4.5-rc1), if epoll waiters create different POLL* sets and register them
as exclusive against the same target fd, the current implementation will
stop waking any further waiters once it finds the first idle waiter.
This means that waiters could miss wakeups in certain cases.
For example, when we wake up a pipe for reading we do:
wake_up_interruptible_sync_poll(&pipe->wait, POLLIN | POLLRDNORM); So if
one epoll set or epfd is added to pipe p with POLLIN and a second set
epfd2 is added to pipe p with POLLRDNORM, only epfd may receive the
wakeup since the current implementation will stop after it finds any
intersection of events with a waiter that is blocked in epoll_wait().
We could potentially address this by requiring all epoll waiters that
are added to p be required to pass the same set of POLL* events. IE the
first EPOLL_CTL_ADD that passes EPOLLEXCLUSIVE establishes the set POLL*
flags to be used by any other epfds that are added as EPOLLEXCLUSIVE.
However, I think it might be somewhat confusing interface as we would
have to reference count the number of users for that set, and so
userspace would have to keep track of that count, or we would need a
more involved interface. It also adds some shared state that we'd have
store somewhere. I don't think anybody will want to bloat
__wait_queue_head for this.
I think what we could do instead, is to simply restrict EPOLLEXCLUSIVE
such that it can only be specified with EPOLLIN and/or EPOLLOUT. So
that way if the wakeup includes 'POLLIN' and not 'POLLOUT', we can stop
once we hit the first idle waiter that specifies the EPOLLIN bit, since
any remaining waiters that only have 'POLLOUT' set wouldn't need to be
woken. Likewise, we can do the same thing if 'POLLOUT' is in the wakeup
bit set and not 'POLLIN'. If both 'POLLOUT' and 'POLLIN' are set in the
wake bit set (there is at least one example of this I saw in fs/pipe.c),
then we just wake the entire exclusive list. Having both 'POLLOUT' and
'POLLIN' both set should not be on any performance critical path, so I
think that's ok (in fs/pipe.c its in pipe_release()). We also continue
to include EPOLLERR and EPOLLHUP by default in any exclusive set. Thus,
the user can specify EPOLLERR and/or EPOLLHUP but is not required to do
so.
Since epoll waiters may be interested in other events as well besides
EPOLLIN, EPOLLOUT, EPOLLERR and EPOLLHUP, these can still be added by
doing a 'dup' call on the target fd and adding that as one normally
would with EPOLL_CTL_ADD. Since I think that the POLLIN and POLLOUT
events are what we are interest in balancing, I think that the 'dup'
thing could perhaps be added to only one of the waiter threads.
However, I think that EPOLLIN, EPOLLOUT, EPOLLERR and EPOLLHUP should be
sufficient for the majority of use-cases.
Since EPOLLEXCLUSIVE is intended to be used with a target fd shared
among multiple epfds, where between 1 and n of the epfds may receive an
event, it does not satisfy the semantics of EPOLLONESHOT where only 1
epfd would get an event. Thus, it is not allowed to be specified in
conjunction with EPOLLEXCLUSIVE.
EPOLL_CTL_MOD is also not allowed if the fd was previously added as
EPOLLEXCLUSIVE. It seems with the limited number of flags to not be as
interesting, but this could be relaxed at some further point.

Currently, epoll file descriptors or epfds (the fd returned from
epoll_create[1]()) that are added to a shared wakeup source are always
added in a non-exclusive manner. This means that when we have multiple
epfds attached to a shared fd source they are all woken up. This creates
thundering herd type behavior.
Introduce a new 'EPOLLEXCLUSIVE' flag that can be passed as part of the
'event' argument during an epoll_ctl() EPOLL_CTL_ADD operation. This new
flag allows for exclusive wakeups when there are multiple epfds attached
to a shared fd event source.
The implementation walks the list of exclusive waiters, and queues an
event to each epfd, until it finds the first waiter that has threads
blocked on it via epoll_wait(). The idea is to search for threads which
are idle and ready to process the wakeup events. Thus, we queue an event
to at least 1 epfd, but may still potentially queue an event to all epfds
that are attached to the shared fd source.
Performance testing was done by Madars Vitolins using a modified version
of Enduro/X. The use of the 'EPOLLEXCLUSIVE' flag reduce the length of
this particular workload from 860s down to 24s.
Sample epoll_clt text:
EPOLLEXCLUSIVE
Sets an exclusive wakeup mode for the epfd file descriptor that is
being attached to the target file descriptor, fd. Thus, when an event
occurs and multiple epfd file descriptors are attached to the same
target file using EPOLLEXCLUSIVE, one or more epfds will receive an
event with epoll_wait(2). The default in this scenario (when
EPOLLEXCLUSIVE is not set) is for all epfds to receive an event.
EPOLLEXCLUSIVE may only be specified with the op EPOLL_CTL_ADD.

This fixes use-after-free of epi->fllink.next inside list loop macro.
This loop actually releases elements in the body. The list is
rcu-protected but here we cannot hold rcu_read_lock because we need to
lock mutex inside.
The obvious solution is to use list_for_each_entry_safe(). RCU-ness
isn't essential because nobody can change this list under us, it's final
fput for this file.
The bug was introduced by ae10b2b4eb ("epoll: optimize EPOLL_CTL_DEL

The EPOLL_CTL_DEL path of epoll contains a classic, ab-ba deadlock.
That is, epoll_ctl(a, EPOLL_CTL_DEL, b, x), will deadlock with
epoll_ctl(b, EPOLL_CTL_DEL, a, x). The deadlock was introduced with
commmit 67347fe4e6 ("epoll: do not take global 'epmutex' for simple
topologies").
The acquistion of the ep->mtx for the destination 'ep' was added such
that a concurrent EPOLL_CTL_ADD operation would see the correct state of
the ep (Specifically, the check for '!list_empty(&f.file->f_ep_links')
However, by simply not acquiring the lock, we do not serialize behind
the ep->mtx from the add path, and thus may perform a full path check
when if we had waited a little longer it may not have been necessary.
However, this is a transient state, and performing the full loop
checking in this case is not harmful.
The important point is that we wouldn't miss doing the full loop
checking when required, since EPOLL_CTL_ADD always locks any 'ep's that
its operating upon. The reason we don't need to do lock ordering in the
add path, is that we are already are holding the global 'epmutex'
whenever we do the double lock. Further, the original posting of this
patch, which was tested for the intended performance gains, did not
perform this additional locking.

When calling EPOLL_CTL_ADD for an epoll file descriptor that is attached
directly to a wakeup source, we do not need to take the global 'epmutex',
unless the epoll file descriptor is nested. The purpose of taking the
'epmutex' on add is to prevent complex topologies such as loops and deep
wakeup paths from forming in parallel through multiple EPOLL_CTL_ADD
operations. However, for the simple case of an epoll file descriptor
attached directly to a wakeup source (with no nesting), we do not need to
hold the 'epmutex'.
This patch along with 'epoll: optimize EPOLL_CTL_DEL using rcu' improves
scalability on larger systems. Quoting Nathan Zimmer's mail on SPECjbb
performance:
"On the 16 socket run the performance went from 35k jOPS to 125k jOPS. In
addition the benchmark when from scaling well on 10 sockets to scaling
well on just over 40 sockets.
...
Currently the benchmark stops scaling at around 40-44 sockets but it seems like
I found a second unrelated bottleneck."

Nathan Zimmer found that once we get over 10+ cpus, the scalability of
SPECjbb falls over due to the contention on the global 'epmutex', which is
taken in on EPOLL_CTL_ADD and EPOLL_CTL_DEL operations.
Patch #1 removes the 'epmutex' lock completely from the EPOLL_CTL_DEL path
by using rcu to guard against any concurrent traversals.
Patch #2 remove the 'epmutex' lock from EPOLL_CTL_ADD operations for
simple topologies. IE when adding a link from an epoll file descriptor to
a wakeup source, where the epoll file descriptor is not nested.
This patch (of 2):
Optimize EPOLL_CTL_DEL such that it does not require the 'epmutex' by
converting the file->f_ep_links list into an rcu one. In this way, we can
traverse the epoll network on the add path in parallel with deletes.
Since deletes can't create loops or worse wakeup paths, this is safe.
This patch in combination with the patch "epoll: Do not take global 'epmutex'
for simple topologies", shows a dramatic performance improvement in
scalability for SPECjbb.

Avoid waking up every thread sleeping in an epoll_wait call during
suspend and resume by calling a freezable blocking call. Previous
patches modified the freezer to avoid sending wakeups to threads
that are blocked in freezable blocking calls.
This call was selected to be converted to a freezable call because
it doesn't hold any locks or release any resources when interrupted
that might be needed by another freezing task or a kernel driver
during suspend, and is a common site where idle userspace tasks are
blocked.

It is common for epoll users to have thousands of epitems, so saving a
cache line on every allocation leads to large memory savings.
Since epitem allocations are cache-aligned, reducing sizeof(struct
epitem) from 136 bytes to 128 bytes will allow it to squeeze under a
cache line boundary on x86_64.
Via /sys/kernel/slab/eventpoll_epi, I see the following changes on my
x86_64 Core2 Duo (which has 64-byte cache alignment):
object_size : 192 => 128
objs_per_slab: 21 => 32
Also, add a BUILD_BUG_ON() to check for future accidental breakage.

EPOLL_CTL_MOD sets the interest mask before calling f_op->poll() to
ensure events are not missed. Since the modifications to the interest
mask are not protected by the same lock as ep_poll_callback, we need to
ensure the change is visible to other CPUs calling ep_poll_callback.
We also need to ensure f_op->poll() has an up-to-date view of past
events which occured before we modified the interest mask. So this
barrier also pairs with the barrier in wq_has_sleeper().
This should guarantee either ep_poll_callback or f_op->poll() (or both)
will notice the readiness of a recently-ready/modified item.
