The cleanup_srcu_struct_quiesced() function was added because NVME
used WQ_MEM_RECLAIM workqueues and SRCU did not, which meant that
NVME workqueues waiting on SRCU workqueues could result in deadlocks
during low-memory conditions. However, SRCU now also has WQ_MEM_RECLAIM
workqueues, so there is no longer a potential for deadlock. Furthermore,
it turns out to be extremely hard to use cleanup_srcu_struct_quiesced()
correctly due to the fact that SRCU callback invocation accesses the
srcu_struct structure's per-CPU data area just after callbacks are
invoked. Therefore, the usual practice of using srcu_barrier() to wait
for callbacks to be invoked before invoking cleanup_srcu_struct_quiesced()
fails because SRCU's callback-invocation workqueue handler might be
delayed, which can result in cleanup_srcu_struct_quiesced() being invoked
(and thus freeing the per-CPU data) before the SRCU's callback-invocation
workqueue handler is finished using that per-CPU data. Nor is this a
theoretical problem: KASAN emitted use-after-free warnings because of
this problem on actual runs.
In short, NVME can now safely invoke cleanup_srcu_struct(), which
avoids the use-after-free scenario. And cleanup_srcu_struct_quiesced()
is quite difficult to use safely. This commit therefore removes
cleanup_srcu_struct_quiesced(), switching its sole user back to
cleanup_srcu_struct(). This effectively reverts the following pair
of commits:
f7194ac32c ("srcu: Add cleanup_srcu_struct_quiesced()")
4317228ad9 ("nvme: Avoid flush dependency in delete controller flow")

If someone fails to drain the corresponding SRCU callbacks (for
example, by failing to invoke srcu_barrier()) before invoking either
cleanup_srcu_struct() or cleanup_srcu_struct_quiesced(), the resulting
diagnostic is an ambiguous use-after-free diagnostic, and even then
only if you are running something like KASAN. This commit therefore
improves SRCU diagnostics by adding checks for in-flight callbacks at
_cleanup_srcu_struct() time.
Note that these diagnostics can still be defeated, for example, by
invoking call_srcu() concurrently with cleanup_srcu_struct(). Which is
a really bad idea, but sometimes all too easy to do. But even then,
these diagnostics have at least some probability of catching the problem.

The task_struct structure's ->rcu_read_unlock_special field is only ever
read or written by the owning task, but it is accessed both at process

READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() or better otherwise. This commit makes a

Previously, threads blocked on offlining CPUS were migrated to the
root rcu_node structure, thus requiring RCU priority boosting on this
structure. However, since commit d19fb8d1f3 ("rcu: Don't migrate
blocked tasks even if all corresponding CPUs offline"), RCU does not
migrate blocked tasks. Consequently, RCU no longer does RCU priority
boosting on the root rcu_node structure as of commit 1be0085b51 ("rcu:
Don't initiate RCU priority boosting on root rcu_node").

jiffies_to_sched_qs will be left with the value zero, which
will result in useless slowdowns of cond_resched(). This commit
therefore changes rcu_init_geometry() to unconditionally invoke
adjust_jiffies_till_sched_qs(), which ensures that jiffies_to_sched_qs
will be initialized in all cases, thus maintaining good cond_resched()
performance.

This commit prints a console message when cpulist_parse() reports a
bad list of CPUs, and sets all CPUs' bits in that case. The reason for
setting all CPUs' bits is that this is the safe(r) choice for real-time
workloads, which would normally be the ones using the rcu_nocbs= kernel
boot parameter. Either way, later RCU console log messages list the
actual set of CPUs whose RCU callbacks will be offloaded.
Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.ibm.com>
Currently, the rcu_nocbs= kernel boot parameter requires that a specific
list of CPUs be specified, and has no way to say "all of them".
As noted by user RavFX in a comment to Phoronix topic 1002538, this
is an inconvenient side effect of the removal of the RCU_NOCB_CPU_ALL
Kconfig option. This commit therefore enables the rcu_nocbs= kernel boot
parameter to be given the string "all", as in "rcu_nocbs=all" to specify
that all CPUs on the system are to have their RCU callbacks offloaded.
Another approach would be to make cpulist_parse() check for "all", but
there are uses of cpulist_parse() that do other checking, which could
conflict with an "all". This commit therefore focuses on the specific
use of cpulist_parse() in rcu_nocb_setup().
Just a note to other people who would like changes to Linux-kernel RCU:
If you send your requests to me directly, they might get fixed somewhat
faster. RavFX's comment was posted on January 22, 2018 and I first saw
it on March 5, 2019. And the only reason that I found it -at- -all- was
that I was looking for projects using RCU, and my search engine showed

The rcutree.kthread_prio kernel-boot parameter is used to set the
priority for boost (rcub), per-CPU (rcuc), and grace-period (rcu_preempt
or rcu_sched) kthreads. It is also used by rcutorture to check whether
it is possible to meaningfully test RCU priority boosting. However,
all of these cases will either ignore or be confused by any post-boot
changes to rcutree.kthread_prio.
Note that the user really can change the priorities of all of these
kthreads using chrt, given sufficient privileges. Therefore, the
read-write nature of sysfs access to rcutree.kthread_prio is thus at
best an attractive nuisance.

The purpose of exit_rcu() is to handle cases where buggy code causes a
task to exit within an RCU read-side critical section. It currently
does that in the case where said RCU read-side critical section was
preempted at least once, but fails to handle cases where preemption did
not occur. This case needs to be handled because otherwise the final
context switch away from the exiting task will incorrectly behave as if
task exit were instead a preemption of an RCU read-side critical section,
and will therefore queue the exiting task. The exiting task will have
exited, and thus won't ever execute rcu_read_unlock(), which means that
it will remain queued forever, blocking all subsequent grace periods,
and eventually resulting in OOM.
Although this is arguably better than letting grace periods proceed
and having a later rcu_read_unlock() access the now-freed task
structure that once belonged to the exiting tasks, it would obviously
be better to correctly handle this case. This commit therefore sets
->rcu_read_lock_nesting to 1 in that case, so that the subsequence call
to __rcu_read_unlock() causes the exiting task to exit its dangling RCU
read-side critical section.
Note that deferred quiescent states need not be considered. The reason
is that removing the task from the ->blkd_tasks[] list in the call to
rcu_preempt_deferred_qs() handles the per-task component of any deferred
quiescent state, and all other components of any deferred quiescent state
are associated with the CPU, which isn't going anywhere until some later
CPU-hotplug operation, which will report any remaining deferred quiescent
states from within the rcu_report_dead() function.
Note also that negative values of ->rcu_read_lock_nesting need not be
considered. First, these won't show up in exit_rcu() unless there is
a serious bug in RCU, and second, setting ->rcu_read_lock_nesting sets
the state so that the RCU read-side critical section will be exited
normally.
Again, this code has no effect unless there has been some prior bug
that prevents a task from leaving an RCU read-side critical section
before exiting. Furthermore, there have been no reports of the bug
fixed by this commit appearing in production. This commit is therefore
absolutely -not- recommended for backporting to -stable.

When there are no callbacks pending on an idle system, I noticed that
RCU softirq is continuously firing. During this the cpu_no_qs is set to
false, and core_needs_qs is set to true indefinitely. This causes
rcu_process_callbacks to be repeatedly called, even though the node
corresponding to the CPU has that CPU's mask bit cleared and the system
is idle. I believe the race is when such mask clearing is done during
idle CPU scan of the quiescent state forcing stage in the kthread
instead of the softirq. Since the rnp mask is cleared, but the flags on
the CPU's rdp are not cleared, the CPU thinks it still needs to report
to core RCU.
Cure this by clearing the core_needs_qs flag when the CPU detects that
its node is already updated which will avoid the unwanted softirq raises
to the benefit of real-time systems.

The rcu_pm_notify() function refuses to switch to/from expedited grace

This commit therefore removes the checks from rcu_pm_notify(), so that

As always, real-time workloads wishing to completely avoid expedited

Prohibit probing on the functions called before kprobe_int3_handler()
in do_int3(). More specifically, ftrace_int3_handler(),
poke_int3_handler(), and ist_enter(). And since rcu_nmi_enter() is
called by ist_enter(), it also should be marked as NOKPROBE_SYMBOL.
Since those are handled before kprobe_int3_handler(), probing those
functions can cause a breakpoint recursion and crash the kernel.
