Tim Chen 11a19c7b09 sched/wait: Introduce wakeup boomark in wake_up_page_bit
Now that we have added breaks in the wait queue scan and allow bookmark
on scan position, we put this logic in the wake_up_page_bit function.

We can have very long page wait list in large system where multiple
pages share the same wait list. We break the wake up walk here to allow
other cpus a chance to access the list, and not to disable the interrupts
when traversing the list for too long.  This reduces the interrupt and
rescheduling latency, and excessive page wait queue lock hold time.

[ v2: Remove bookmark_wake_function ]

Tim Chen 2554db9165 sched/wait: Break up long wake list walk
We encountered workloads that have very long wake up list on large
systems. A waker takes a long time to traverse the entire wake list and
execute all the wake functions.

We saw page wait list that are up to 3700+ entries long in tests of
large 4 and 8 socket systems. It took 0.8 sec to traverse such list
during wake up. Any other CPU that contends for the list spin lock will
spin for a long time. It is a result of the numa balancing migration of
hot pages that are shared by many threads.

Multiple CPUs waking are queued up behind the lock, and the last one
queued has to wait until all CPUs did all the wakeups.

The page wait list is traversed with interrupt disabled, which caused
various problems. This was the original cause that triggered the NMI
watch dog timer in: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9800303/ . Only
extending the NMI watch dog timer there helped.

This patch bookmarks the waker's scan position in wake list and break
the wake up walk, to allow access to the list before the waker resume
its walk down the rest of the wait list. It lowers the interrupt and
rescheduling latency.

This patch also provides a performance boost when combined with the next
patch to break up page wakeup list walk. We saw 22% improvement in the
will-it-scale file pread2 test on a Xeon Phi system running 256 threads.

[ v2: Merged in Linus' changes to remove the bookmark_wake_function, and
  simply access to flags. ]

Luis R. Rodriguez 8ada92799e wait: add wait_event_killable_timeout()
These are the few pending fixes I have queued up for v4.13-final.  One
is a a generic regression fix for recursive loops on kmod and the other
one is a trivial print out correction.

During the v4.13 development we assumed that recursive kmod loops were
no longer possible.  Clearly that is not true.  The regression fix makes
use of a new killable wait.  We use a killable wait to be paranoid in
how signals might be sent to modprobe and only accept a proper SIGKILL.
The signal will only be available to userspace to issue *iff* a thread
has already entered a wait state, and that happens only if we've already
throttled after 50 kmod threads have been hit.

Note that although it may seem excessive to trigger a failure afer 5
seconds if all kmod thread remain busy, prior to the series of changes
that went into v4.13 we would actually *always* fatally fail any request
which came in if the limit was already reached.  The new waiting
implemented in v4.13 actually gives us *more* breathing room -- the wait
for 5 seconds is a wait for *any* kmod thread to finish.  We give up and
fail *iff* no kmod thread has finished and they're *all* running
straight for 5 consecutive seconds.  If 50 kmod threads are running
consecutively for 5 seconds something else must be really bad.

Recursive loops with kmod are bad but they're also hard to implement
properly as a selftest without currently fooling current userspace tools
like kmod [1].  For instance kmod will complain when you run depmod if
it finds a recursive loop with symbol dependency between modules as such
this type of recursive loop cannot go upstream as the modules_install
target will fail after running depmod.

These tests already exist on userspace kmod upstream though (refer to
the testsuite/module-playground/mod-loop-*.c files).  The same is not
true if request_module() is used though, or worst if aliases are used.

Likewise the issue with 64-bit kernels booting 32-bit userspace without
a binfmt handler built-in is also currently not detected and proactively
avoided by userspace kmod tools, or kconfig for all architectures.
Although we could complain in the kernel when some of these individual
recursive issues creep up, proactively avoiding these situations in
userspace at build time is what we should keep striving for.

Lastly, since recursive loops could happen with kmod it may mean
recursive loops may also be possible with other kernel usermode helpers,
this should be investigated and long term if we can come up with a more
sensible generic solution even better!

This wait is similar to wait_event_interruptible_timeout() but only
accepts SIGKILL interrupt signal.  Other signals are ignored.

Ingo Molnar 2055da9738 sched/wait: Disambiguate wq_entry->task_list and wq_head->task_list naming
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) {

Ingo Molnar 5dd43ce2f6 sched/wait: Split out the wait_bit*() APIs from <linux/wait.h> into <linux/wait_bit.h>
The wait_bit*() types and APIs are mixed into wait.h, but they
are a pretty orthogonal extension of wait-queues.

Furthermore, only about 50 kernel files use these APIs, while
over 1000 use the regular wait-queue functionality.

So clean up the main wait.h by moving the wait-bit functionality
out of it, into a separate .h and .c file:

  include/linux/wait_bit.h  for types and APIs
  kernel/sched/wait_bit.c   for the implementation

Update all header dependencies.

This reduces the size of wait.h rather significantly, by about 30%.

So there's over 300 CPP macro line-continuation backslashes in

The recent renames and reorganization broke some of them, and
instead of re-aligning them in every patch (which would add
a lot of stylistic noise to the patches and make them less

go in this patch.

Ingo Molnar 939798a072 sched/wait: Improve the bit-wait API parameter names in the API function prototypes
Contrary to kernel tradition, most of the bit-wait function prototypes
in <linux/wait.h> don't fully define the parameter names, they only
list the types:

	int out_of_line_wait_on_bit_timeout(void *, int, wait_bit_action_f *, unsigned, unsigned long);

... which is pretty passive-aggressive in terms of informing the reader
about what these functions are doing.

Fill in the parameter names, such as:

	int out_of_line_wait_on_bit_timeout(void *word, int, wait_bit_action_f *action, unsigned int mode, unsigned long timeout);

Also turn spurious (and inconsistently utilized) cases of 'unsigned' into 'unsigned int'.

Ingo Molnar 76c85ddc46 sched/wait: Standardize wait_bit_queue naming
So wait-bit-queue head variables are often named:

	struct wait_bit_queue *q

... which is a bit ambiguous and super confusing, because
they clearly suggest wait-queue head semantics and behavior
(they rhyme with the old wait_queue_t *q naming), while they
are extended wait-queue _entries_, not heads!

They are misnomers in two ways:

 - the 'wait_bit_queue' leaves open the question of whether
   it's an entry or a head

 - the 'q' parameter and local variable naming falsely implies
   that it's a 'queue' - while it's an entry.

This resulted in sometimes confusing cases such as:

	finish_wait(wq, &q->wait);

where the 'q' is not a wait-queue head, but a wait-bit-queue entry.

So improve this all by standardizing wait-bit-queue nomenclature
similar to wait-queue head naming:

	struct wait_bit_queue   => struct wait_bit_queue_entry
	q			=> wbq_entry

Which makes it all a much clearer:

	struct wait_bit_queue_entry *wbq_entry

... and turns the former confusing piece of code into:

	finish_wait(wq_head, &wbq_entry->wq_entry;

which IMHO makes it apparently clear what we are doing,
without having to analyze the context of the code: we are
adding a wait-queue entry to a regular wait-queue head,
which entry is embedded in a wait-bit-queue entry.

I'm not a big fan of acronyms, but repeating wait_bit_queue_entry
in field and local variable names is too long, so Hopefully it's
clear enough that 'wq_' prefixes stand for wait-queues, while
'wbq_' prefixes stand for wait-bit-queues.

Ingo Molnar 9d9d676f59 sched/wait: Standardize internal naming of wait-queue heads
The wait-queue head parameters and variables are named in a
couple of ways, we have the following variants currently:

	wait_queue_head_t *q
	wait_queue_head_t *wq
	wait_queue_head_t *head

In particular the 'wq' naming is ambiguous in the sense whether it's
a wait-queue head or entry name - as entries were often named 'wait'.

( Not to mention the confusion of any readers coming over from
  workqueue-land. )

Standardize all this around a single, unambiguous parameter and
variable name:

	struct wait_queue_head *wq_head

which is easy to grep for and also rhymes nicely with the wait-queue
entry naming:

	struct wait_queue_entry *wq_entry

Also rename:

	struct __wait_queue_head => struct wait_queue_head

... and use this struct type to migrate from typedefs usage to 'struct'
usage, which is more in line with existing kernel practices.

Don't touch any external users and preserve the main wait_queue_head_t
typedef.

Ingo Molnar 50816c4899 sched/wait: Standardize internal naming of wait-queue entries
So the various wait-queue entry variables in include/linux/wait.h
and kernel/sched/wait.c are named in a colorfully inconsistent
way:

	wait_queue_entry_t *wait
	wait_queue_entry_t *__wait	(even in plain C code!)
	wait_queue_entry_t *q		(!)
	wait_queue_entry_t *new		(making anyone who knows C++ cringe)
	wait_queue_entry_t *old

I think part of the reason for the inconsistency is the constant
apparent confusion about what a wait queue 'head' versus 'entry' is.

( Some of the documentation talks about a 'wait descriptor', which is
  the wait-queue entry itself - further adding to the confusion. )

The most common name is 'wait', but that in itself is somewhat
ambiguous as well, as it does not really make it clear whether
it's a wait-queue entry or head.

To improve all this name the wait-queue entry structure parameters
and variables consistently and push through this naming into all
the wait.h and wait.c code:

	struct wait_queue_entry *wq_entry

The 'wq_' prefix makes it easy to grep for, and we also use the
opportunity to move away from the typedef to a plain 'struct' naming:
in the kernel we typically reserve typedefs for cases where a
C structure is really small and somewhat opaque - such as pte_t.

wait-queue entries are neither small nor opaque, so use the more
standard 'struct xxx_entry' list management code nomenclature instead.

( We don't touch external users, and we preserve the typedef as well
  for actual wait-queue users, to reduce unnecessary churn. )

Ingo Molnar ac6424b981 sched/wait: Rename wait_queue_t => wait_queue_entry_t
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.

Linus Torvalds bd0f9b356d sched/headers: fix up header file dependency on <linux/sched/signal.h>
The scheduler header file split and cleanups ended up exposing a few
nasty header file dependencies, and in particular it showed how we in
<linux/wait.h> ended up depending on "signal_pending()", which now comes
from <linux/sched/signal.h>.

That's a very subtle and annoying dependency, which already caused a
semantic merge conflict (see commit e58bc92783 "Pull overlayfs updates
from Miklos Szeredi", which added that fixup in the merge commit).

It turns out that we can avoid this dependency _and_ improve code
generation by moving the guts of the fairly nasty helper #define
__wait_event_interruptible_locked() to out-of-line code.  The code that
includes the signal_pending() check is all in the slow-path where we
actually go to sleep waiting for the event anyway, so using a helper
function is the right thing to do.

Using a helper function is also what we already did for the non-locked
versions, see the "__wait_event*()" macros and the "prepare_to_wait*()"
set of helper functions.

We might want to try to unify all these macro games, we have a _lot_ of
subtly different wait-event loops.  But this is the minimal patch to fix
the annoying header dependency.

Oleg Nesterov 38a3e1fc1d sched/wait: Fix abort_exclusive_wait(), it should pass TASK_NORMAL to wake_up()
Otherwise this logic only works if mode is "compatible" with another
exclusive waiter.

If some wq has both TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE and TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE waiters,
abort_exclusive_wait() won't wait an uninterruptible waiter.

The main user is __wait_on_bit_lock() and currently it is fine but only
because TASK_KILLABLE includes TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE and we do not have
lock_page_interruptible() yet.

Just use TASK_NORMAL and remove the "mode" arg from abort_exclusive_wait().
Yes, this means that (say) wake_up_interruptible() can wake up the non-
interruptible waiter(s), but I think this is fine. And in fact I think
that abort_exclusive_wait() must die, see the next change.

Peter Zijlstra dfd01f0260 sched/wait: Fix the signal handling fix
Jan Stancek reported that I wrecked things for him by fixing things for
Vladimir :/

His report was due to an UNINTERRUPTIBLE wait getting -EINTR, which
should not be possible, however my previous patch made this possible by
unconditionally checking signal_pending().

We cannot use current->state as was done previously, because the
instruction after the store to that variable it can be changed.  We must
instead pass the initial state along and use that.

This reverts commit 51360155ec and adapts
fs/userfaultfd.c to use the old version of that function.

It didn't look robust to call __wake_up_common with "nr == 1" when we
absolutely require wakeall semantics, but we've full control of what we
insert in the two waitqueue heads of the blocked userfaults.  No
exclusive waitqueue risks to be inserted into those two waitqueue heads
so we can as well stick to "nr == 1" of the old code and we can rely
purely on the fact no waitqueue inserted in one of the two waitqueue
heads we must enforce as wakeall, has wait->flags WQ_FLAG_EXCLUSIVE set.

Yuanhan Liu 9f3520c311 wait: introduce wait_event_exclusive_cmd
It's just a variant of wait_event_cmd(), with exclusive flag being set.

For cases like RAID5, which puts many processes to sleep until 1/4
resources are free, a wake_up wakes up all processes to run, but
there is one process being able to get the resource as it's protected
by a spin lock. That ends up introducing heavy lock contentions, and
hurts performance badly.

Here introduce wait_event_exclusive_cmd to relieve the lock contention
naturally by letting wake_up just wake up one process.

Palmer Dabbelt 7e60598785 sched/wait: Change wait_on_bit*() to take an unsigned long *, not a void *
The implementations of wait_on_bit*() will only work with long-aligned
memory on systems that don't support misaligned loads and stores.

This patch changes the function prototypes to ensure that the compiler
will enforce alignment.

Running

  make defconfig
  make KFLAGS="-Werror"

seems to indicate that, as of c56fb6564dcd ("Fix a misaligned load
inside ptrace_attach()"), there are now no users of non-long-aligned
calls to wait_on_bit*().  I additionally tried a few "make randconfig"
attempts, none of which failed to compile for this reason.

The thing that makes this one 'special' is the BSG_F_BLOCK flag, if
that is not set we're not supposed/allowed to block and should spin
wait for completion.

The (new) io_wait_event() will never see a false condition in case of
the spinning and we will therefore not block.

NeilBrown cbbce82209 SCHED: add some "wait..on_bit...timeout()" interfaces.
In commit c1221321b7
   sched: Allow wait_on_bit_action() functions to support a timeout

I suggested that a "wait_on_bit_timeout()" interface would not meet my
need.  This isn't true - I was just over-engineering.

Including a 'private' field in wait_bit_key instead of a focused
"timeout" field was just premature generalization.  If some other
use is ever found, it can be generalized or added later.

So this patch renames "private" to "timeout" with a meaning "stop
waiting when "jiffies" reaches or passes "timeout",
and adds two of the many possible wait..bit..timeout() interfaces:

wait_on_page_bit_killable_timeout(), which is the one I want to use,
and out_of_line_wait_on_bit_timeout() which is a reasonably general
example.  Others can be added as needed.

NeilBrown c1221321b7 sched: Allow wait_on_bit_action() functions to support a timeout
It is currently not possible for various wait_on_bit functions
to implement a timeout.

While the "action" function that is called to do the waiting
could certainly use schedule_timeout(), there is no way to carry
forward the remaining timeout after a false wake-up.
As false-wakeups a clearly possible at least due to possible
hash collisions in bit_waitqueue(), this is a real problem.

The 'action' function is currently passed a pointer to the word
containing the bit being waited on.  No current action functions
use this pointer.  So changing it to something else will be a
little noisy but will have no immediate effect.

This patch changes the 'action' function to take a pointer to
the "struct wait_bit_key", which contains a pointer to the word
containing the bit so nothing is really lost.

It also adds a 'private' field to "struct wait_bit_key", which
is initialized to zero.

An action function can now implement a timeout with something
like

static int timed_out_waiter(struct wait_bit_key *key)
{
	unsigned long waited;
	if (key->private == 0) {
		key->private = jiffies;
		if (key->private == 0)
			key->private -= 1;
	}
	waited = jiffies - key->private;
	if (waited > 10 * HZ)
		return -EAGAIN;
	schedule_timeout(waited - 10 * HZ);
	return 0;
}

If any other need for context in a waiter were found it would be
easy to use ->private for some other purpose, or even extend
"struct wait_bit_key".

My particular need is to support timeouts in nfs_release_page()
to avoid deadlocks with loopback mounted NFS.

While wait_on_bit_timeout() would be a cleaner interface, it
will not meet my need.  I need the timeout to be sensitive to
the state of the connection with the server, which could change.
 So I need to use an 'action' interface.

NeilBrown 743162013d sched: Remove proliferation of wait_on_bit() action functions
The current "wait_on_bit" interface requires an 'action'
function to be provided which does the actual waiting.
There are over 20 such functions, many of them identical.
Most cases can be satisfied by one of just two functions, one
which uses io_schedule() and one which just uses schedule().

So:
 Rename wait_on_bit and        wait_on_bit_lock to
        wait_on_bit_action and wait_on_bit_lock_action
 to make it explicit that they need an action function.

 Introduce new wait_on_bit{,_lock} and wait_on_bit{,_lock}_io
 which are *not* given an action function but implicitly use
 a standard one.
 The decision to error-out if a signal is pending is now made
 based on the 'mode' argument rather than being encoded in the action
 function.

 All instances of the old wait_on_bit and wait_on_bit_lock which
 can use the new version have been changed accordingly and their
 action functions have been discarded.
 wait_on_bit{_lock} does not return any specific error code in the
 event of a signal so the caller must check for non-zero and
 interpolate their own error code as appropriate.

The wait_on_bit() call in __fscache_wait_on_invalidate() was
ambiguous as it specified TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE but used
fscache_wait_bit_interruptible as an action function.
David Howells confirms this should be uniformly
"uninterruptible"

The main remaining user of wait_on_bit{,_lock}_action is NFS
which needs to use a freezer-aware schedule() call.

A comment in fs/gfs2/glock.c notes that having multiple 'action'
functions is useful as they display differently in the 'wchan'
field of 'ps'. (and /proc/$PID/wchan).
As the new bit_wait{,_io} functions are tagged "__sched", they
will not show up at all, but something higher in the stack.  So
the distinction will still be visible, only with different
function names (gds2_glock_wait versus gfs2_glock_dq_wait in the
gfs2/glock.c case).

Since first version of this patch (against 3.15) two new action
functions appeared, on in NFS and one in CIFS.  CIFS also now
uses an action function that makes the same freezer aware
schedule call as NFS.

Arnd Bergmann b8780c363d sched: remove sleep_on() and friends
This is the final piece in the puzzle, as all patches to remove the
last users of \(interruptible_\|\)sleep_on\(_timeout\|\) have made it
into the 3.15 merge window. The work was long overdue, and this
interface in particular should not have survived the BKL removal
that was done a couple of years ago.

Citing Jon Corbet from http://lwn.net/2001/0201/kernel.php3":

 "[...] it was suggested that the janitors look for and fix all code
  that calls sleep_on() [...] since (1) almost all such code is
  incorrect, and (2) Linus has agreed that those functions should
  be removed in the 2.5 development series".

We haven't quite made it for 2.5, but maybe we can merge this for 3.15.
