2023-04-05rcu: Register rcu-lazy shrinker only for CONFIG_RCU_LAZY=y kernelsZqiang
The lazy_rcu_shrink_count() shrinker function is registered even in kernels built with CONFIG_RCU_LAZY=n, in which case this function uselessly consumes cycles learning that no CPU has any lazy callbacks queued. This commit therefore registers this shrinker function only in the kernels built with CONFIG_RCU_LAZY=y, where it might actually do something useful.

2023-04-05rcu: Fix set/clear TICK_DEP_BIT_RCU_EXP bitmask raceZqiang
For kernels built with CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y, the following scenario can result in the scheduling-clock interrupt remaining enabled on a holdout CPU after its quiescent state has been reported: CPU1 CPU2 rcu_report_exp_cpu_mult synchronize_rcu_expedited_wait acquires rnp->lock mask = rnp->expmask; for_each_leaf_node_cpu_mask(rnp, cpu, mask) rnp->expmask = rnp->expmask & ~mask; rdp = per_cpu_ptr(&rcu_data, cpu1); for_each_leaf_node_cpu_mask(rnp, cpu, mask) rdp = per_cpu_ptr(&rcu_data, cpu1); if (!rdp->rcu_forced_tick_exp) continue; rdp->rcu_forced_tick_exp = true; tick_dep_set_cpu(cpu1, TICK_DEP_BIT_RCU_EXP); The problem is that CPU2's sampling of rnp->expmask is obsolete by the time it invokes tick_dep_set_cpu(), and CPU1 is not guaranteed to see CPU2's store to ->rcu_forced_tick_exp in time to clear it. And even if CPU1 does see that store, it might invoke tick_dep_clear_cpu() before CPU2 got around to executing its tick_dep_set_cpu(), which would still leave the victim CPU with its scheduler-clock tick running. Either way, an nohz_full real-time application running on the victim CPU would have its latency needlessly degraded. Note that expedited RCU grace periods look at context-tracking information, and so if the CPU is executing in nohz_full usermode throughout, that CPU cannot be victimized in this manner. This commit therefore causes synchronize_rcu_expedited_wait to hold the rcu_node structure's ->lock when checking for holdout CPUs, setting TICK_DEP_BIT_RCU_EXP, and invoking tick_dep_set_cpu(), thus preventing this race.

This commit adds a comment to help explain why the "else" clause of the in_serving_softirq() "if" statement does not need to enforce a time limit.

2023-04-05srcu: Clarify comments on memory barrier "E"Joel Fernandes (Google)
There is an smp_mb() named "E" in srcu_flip() immediately before the increment (flip) of the srcu_struct structure's ->srcu_idx. The purpose of E is to order the preceding scan's read of lock counters against the flipping of the ->srcu_idx, in order to prevent new readers from continuing to use the old ->srcu_idx value, which might needlessly extend the grace period. However, this ordering is already enforced because of the control dependency between the preceding scan and the ->srcu_idx flip. This control dependency exists because atomic_long_read() is used to scan the counts, because WRITE_ONCE() is used to flip ->srcu_idx, and because ->srcu_idx is not flipped until the ->srcu_lock_count[] and ->srcu_unlock_count[] counts match. And such a match cannot happen when there is an in-flight reader that started before the flip (observation courtesy Mathieu Desnoyers). The litmus test below (courtesy of Frederic Weisbecker, with changes for ctrldep by Boqun and Joel) shows this: C srcu (* * bad condition: P0's first scan (SCAN1) saw P1's idx=0 LOCK count inc, though P1 saw flip. * * So basically, the ->po ordering on both P0 and P1 is enforced via ->ppo * (control deps) on both sides, and both P0 and P1 are interconnected by ->rf * relations. Combining the ->ppo with ->rf, a cycle is impossible. *) {} // updater P0(int *IDX, int *LOCK0, int *UNLOCK0, int *LOCK1, int *UNLOCK1) { int lock1; int unlock1; int lock0; int unlock0; // SCAN1 unlock1 = READ_ONCE(*UNLOCK1); smp_mb(); // A lock1 = READ_ONCE(*LOCK1); // FLIP if (lock1 == unlock1) { // Control dep smp_mb(); // E // Remove E and still passes. WRITE_ONCE(*IDX, 1); smp_mb(); // D // SCAN2 unlock0 = READ_ONCE(*UNLOCK0); smp_mb(); // A lock0 = READ_ONCE(*LOCK0); } } // reader P1(int *IDX, int *LOCK0, int *UNLOCK0, int *LOCK1, int *UNLOCK1) { int tmp; int idx1; int idx2; // 1st reader idx1 = READ_ONCE(*IDX); if (idx1 == 0) { // Control dep tmp = READ_ONCE(*LOCK0); WRITE_ONCE(*LOCK0, tmp + 1); smp_mb(); /* B and C */ tmp = READ_ONCE(*UNLOCK0); WRITE_ONCE(*UNLOCK0, tmp + 1); } else { tmp = READ_ONCE(*LOCK1); WRITE_ONCE(*LOCK1, tmp + 1); smp_mb(); /* B and C */ tmp = READ_ONCE(*UNLOCK1); WRITE_ONCE(*UNLOCK1, tmp + 1); } } exists (0:lock1=1 /\ 1:idx1=1) More complicated litmus tests with multiple SRCU readers also show that memory barrier E is not needed. This commit therefore clarifies the comment on memory barrier E. Why not also remove that redundant smp_mb()? Because control dependencies are quite fragile due to their not being recognized by most compilers and tools. Control dependencies therefore exact an ongoing maintenance burden, and such a burden cannot be justified in this slowpath. Therefore, that smp_mb() stays until such time as its overhead becomes a measurable problem in a real workload running on a real production system, or until such time as compilers start paying attention to this sort of control dependency.

2023-04-04srcu: Check for readers at module-exit timePaul E. McKenney
If a given statically allocated in-module srcu_struct structure was ever used for updates, srcu_module_going() will invoke cleanup_srcu_struct() at module-exit time. This will check for the error case of SRCU readers persisting past module-exit time. On the other hand, if this srcu_struct structure never went through a grace period, srcu_module_going() only invokes free_percpu(), which would result in strange failures if SRCU readers persisted past module-exit time. This commit therefore adds a srcu_readers_active() check to srcu_module_going(), splatting if readers have persisted and refraining from invoking free_percpu() in that case.

This commit moves the ->reschedule_jiffies, ->reschedule_count, and ->work fields from the srcu_struct structure to the srcu_usage structure to reduce the size of the former in order to improve cache locality. However, this means that the container_of() calls cannot get a pointer to the srcu_struct because they are no longer in the srcu_struct. This issue is addressed by adding a ->srcu_ssp field in the srcu_usage structure that references the corresponding srcu_struct structure. And given the presence of the sup pointer to the srcu_usage structure, replace some ssp->srcu_usage-> instances with sup->.

2023-04-04srcu: Begin offloading srcu_struct fields to srcu_updatePaul E. McKenney
The current srcu_struct structure is on the order of 200 bytes in size (depending on architecture and .config), which is much better than the old-style 26K bytes, but still all too inconvenient when one is trying to achieve good cache locality on a fastpath involving SRCU readers. However, only a few fields in srcu_struct are used by SRCU readers. The remaining fields could be offloaded to a new srcu_update structure, thus shrinking the srcu_struct structure down to a few tens of bytes. This commit begins this noble quest, a quest that is complicated by open-coded initialization of the srcu_struct within the srcu_notifier_head structure. This complication is addressed by updating the srcu_notifier_head structure's open coding, given that there does not appear to be a straightforward way of abstracting that initialization. This commit moves only the ->node pointer to srcu_update. Later commits will move additional fields.

2023-04-04srcu: Use static init for statically allocated in-module srcu_structPaul E. McKenney
Further shrinking the srcu_struct structure is eased by requiring that in-module srcu_struct structures rely more heavily on static initialization. In particular, this preserves the property that a module-load-time srcu_struct initialization can fail only due to memory-allocation failure of the per-CPU srcu_data structures. It might also slightly improve robustness by keeping the number of memory allocations that must succeed down percpu_alloc() call. This is in preparation for splitting an srcu_usage structure out of the srcu_struct structure.

Note that rcutorture.test_srcu_lockdep=1 will also force a hard hang.

2023-03-27rcu: Annotate SRCU's update-side lockdep dependenciesBoqun Feng
Although all flavors of RCU readers are annotated correctly with lockdep as recursive read locks, they do not set the lock_acquire 'check' parameter. This means that RCU read locks are not added to the lockdep dependency graph, which in turn means that lockdep cannot detect RCU-based deadlocks. This is not a problem for RCU flavors having atomic read-side critical sections because context-based annotations can catch these deadlocks, see for example the RCU_LOCKDEP_WARN() statement in synchronize_rcu(). But context-based annotations are not helpful for sleepable RCU, especially given that it is perfectly legal to do synchronize_srcu(&srcu1) within an srcu_read_lock(&srcu2). However, we can detect SRCU-based by: (1) Making srcu_read_lock() a 'check'ed recursive read lock and (2) Making synchronize_srcu() a empty write lock critical section. Even better, with the newly introduced lock_sync(), we can avoid false positives about irq-unsafe/safe. This commit therefore makes it so. Note that NMI-safe SRCU read side critical sections are currently not annotated, but might be annotated in the future. Signed-off-by: Boqun Feng <boqun.feng@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2023-01-23rcu: Disable laziness if lazy-tracking says soJoel Fernandes (Google)
During suspend, we see failures to suspend 1 in 300-500 suspends. Looking closer, it appears that asynchronous RCU callbacks are being queued as lazy even though synchronous callbacks are expedited. These delays appear to not be very welcome by the suspend/resume code as evidenced by these occasional suspend failures. This commit modifies call_rcu() to check if rcu_async_should_hurry(), which will return true if we are in suspend or in-kernel boot. [ paulmck: Alphabetize local variables. ] Ignoring the lazy hint makes the 3000 suspend/resume cycles pass reliably on a 12th gen 12-core Intel CPU, and there is some evidence that it also slightly speeds up boot performance.

Boot and suspend/resume should not be slowed down in kernels built with CONFIG_RCU_LAZY=y. In particular, suspend can sometimes fail in such kernels. This commit therefore adds rcu_async_hurry(), rcu_async_relax(), and rcu_async_should_hurry() functions that track whether or not either a boot or a suspend/resume operation is in progress. This will enable a later commit to refrain from laziness during those times. Export rcu_async_should_hurry(), rcu_async_hurry(), and rcu_async_relax() for later use by rcutorture.

The rcu_boost_kthread_setaffinity() function is invoked at rcutree_online_cpu() and rcutree_offline_cpu() time, early in the online timeline and late in the offline timeline, respectively. It is also invoked from rcutree_dead_cpu(), however, in the absence of userspace manipulations (for which userspace must take responsibility), this call is redundant with that from rcutree_offline_cpu().

The maximum value of RCU CPU stall-warning timeouts has historically been five minutes (300 seconds). However, the recently introduced expedited RCU CPU stall-warning timeout is instead limited to 21 seconds. This causes problems for CI/fuzzing services such as syzkaller by obscuring the issue in question with expedited RCU CPU stall-warning timeout splats.

2023-01-05rcu: Add RCU stall diagnosis informationZhen Lei
Because RCU CPU stall warnings are driven from the scheduling-clock interrupt handler, a workload consisting of a very large number of short-duration hardware interrupts can result in misleading stall-warning messages. On systems supporting only a single level of interrupts, that is, where interrupts handlers cannot be interrupted, this can produce misleading diagnostics. The stack traces will show the innocent-bystander interrupted task, not the interrupts that are at the very least exacerbating the stall. This situation can be improved by displaying the number of interrupts and the CPU time that they have consumed. Diagnosing other types of stalls can be eased by also providing the count of softirqs and the CPU time that they consumed as well as the number of context switches and the task-level CPU time consumed. Consider the following output given this change: rcu: INFO: rcu_preempt self-detected stall on CPU rcu: 0-....: (1250 ticks this GP) <omitted> rcu: hardirqs softirqs csw/system rcu: number: 624 45 0 rcu: cputime: 69 1 2425 ==> 2500(ms) This output shows that the number of hard and soft interrupts is small, there are no context switches, and the system takes up a lot of time. This indicates that the current task is looping with preemption disabled. The impact on system performance is negligible because snapshot is recorded only once for all continuous RCU stalls. This added debugging information is suppressed by default and can be enabled by building the kernel with CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_CPUTIME=y or by booting with rcupdate.rcu_cpu_stall_cputime=1.

2023-01-03rcu-tasks: Handle queue-shrink/callback-enqueue race conditionZqiang
The rcu_tasks_need_gpcb() determines whether or not: (1) There are callbacks needing another grace period, (2) There are callbacks ready to be invoked, and (3) It would be a good time to shrink back down to a single-CPU callback list. This third case is interesting because some other CPU might be adding new callbacks, which might suddenly make this a very bad time to be shrinking. This is currently handled by requiring call_rcu_tasks_generic() to enqueue callbacks under the protection of rcu_read_lock() and requiring rcu_tasks_need_gpcb() to wait for an RCU grace period to elapse before finalizing the transition. This works well in practice. Unfortunately, the current code assumes that a grace period whose end is detected by the poll_state_synchronize_rcu() in the second "if" condition actually ended before the earlier code counted the callbacks queued on CPUs other than CPU 0 (local variable "ncbsnz"). Given the current code, it is possible that a long-delayed call_rcu_tasks_generic() invocation will queue a callback on a non-zero CPU after these CPUs have had their callbacks counted and zero has been stored to ncbsnz. Such a callback would trigger the WARN_ON_ONCE() in the second "if" statement. To see this, consider the following sequence of events: o CPU 0 invokes rcu_tasks_one_gp(), and counts fewer than rcu_task_collapse_lim callbacks. It sees at least one callback queued on some other CPU, thus setting ncbsnz to a non-zero value. o CPU 1 invokes call_rcu_tasks_generic() and loads 42 from ->percpu_enqueue_lim. It therefore decides to enqueue its callback onto CPU 1's callback list, but is delayed. o CPU 0 sees the rcu_task_cb_adjust is non-zero and that the number of callbacks does not exceed rcu_task_collapse_lim. It therefore checks percpu_enqueue_lim, and sees that its value is greater than the value one. CPU 0 therefore starts the shift back to a single callback list. It sets ->percpu_enqueue_lim to 1, but CPU 1 has already read the old value of 42. It also gets a grace-period state value from get_state_synchronize_rcu(). o CPU 0 sees that ncbsnz is non-zero in its second "if" statement, so it declines to finalize the shrink operation. o CPU 0 again invokes rcu_tasks_one_gp(), and counts fewer than rcu_task_collapse_lim callbacks. It also sees that there are no callback queued on any other CPU, and thus sets ncbsnz to zero. o CPU 1 resumes execution and enqueues its callback onto its own list. This invalidates the value of ncbsnz. o CPU 0 sees the rcu_task_cb_adjust is non-zero and that the number of callbacks does not exceed rcu_task_collapse_lim. It therefore checks percpu_enqueue_lim, but sees that its value is already unity. It therefore does not get a new grace-period state value. o CPU 0 sees that rcu_task_cb_adjust is non-zero, ncbsnz is zero, and that poll_state_synchronize_rcu() says that the grace period has completed. it therefore finalizes the shrink operation, setting ->percpu_dequeue_lim to the value one. o CPU 0 does a debug check, scanning the other CPUs' callback lists. It sees that CPU 1's list has a callback, so it (rightly) triggers the WARN_ON_ONCE(). After all, the new value of ->percpu_dequeue_lim says to not bother looking at CPU 1's callback list, which means that this callback will never be invoked. This can result in hangs and maybe even OOMs. Based on long experience with rcutorture, this is an extremely low-probability race condition, but it really can happen, especially in preemptible kernels or within guest OSes. This commit therefore checks for completion of the grace period before counting callbacks. With this change, in the above failure scenario CPU 0 would know not to prematurely end the shrink operation because the grace period would not have completed before the count operation started.

2023-01-03rcu-tasks: Make rude RCU-Tasks work well with CPU hotplugZqiang
The synchronize_rcu_tasks_rude() function invokes rcu_tasks_rude_wait_gp() to wait one rude RCU-tasks grace period. The rcu_tasks_rude_wait_gp() function in turn checks if there is only a single online CPU. If so, it will immediately return, because a call to synchronize_rcu_tasks_rude() is by definition a grace period on a single-CPU system. (We could have blocked!) Unfortunately, this check uses num_online_cpus() without synchronization, which can result in too-short grace periods. To see this, consider the following scenario: CPU0 CPU1 (going offline) migration/1 task: cpu_stopper_thread -> take_cpu_down -> _cpu_disable (dec __num_online_cpus) ->cpuhp_invoke_callback preempt_disable access old_data0 task1 del old_data0 ..... synchronize_rcu_tasks_rude() task1 schedule out .... task2 schedule in rcu_tasks_rude_wait_gp() ->__num_online_cpus == 1 ->return .... task1 schedule in ->free old_data0 preempt_enable When CPU1 decrements __num_online_cpus, its value becomes 1. However, CPU1 has not finished going offline, and will take one last trip through the scheduler and the idle loop before it actually stops executing instructions. Because synchronize_rcu_tasks_rude() is mostly used for tracing, and because both the scheduler and the idle loop can be traced, this means that CPU0's prematurely ended grace period might disrupt the tracing on CPU1. Given that this disruption might include CPU1 executing instructions in memory that was just now freed (and maybe reallocated), this is a matter of some concern. This commit therefore removes that problematic single-CPU check from the rcu_tasks_rude_wait_gp() function. This dispenses with the single-CPU optimization, but there is no evidence indicating that this optimization is important. In addition, synchronize_rcu_tasks_generic() contains a similar optimization (albeit only for early boot), which also splats. (As in exactly why are you invoking synchronize_rcu_tasks_rude() so early in boot, anyway???) It is OK for the synchronize_rcu_tasks_rude() function's check to be unsynchronized because the only times that this check can evaluate to true is when there is only a single CPU running with preemption disabled. While in the area, this commit also fixes a minor bug in which a call to synchronize_rcu_tasks_rude() would instead be attributed to synchronize_rcu_tasks().

2023-01-03rcu-tasks: Fix synchronize_rcu_tasks() VS zap_pid_ns_processes()Frederic Weisbecker
RCU Tasks and PID-namespace unshare can interact in do_exit() in a complicated circular dependency: 1) TASK A calls unshare(CLONE_NEWPID), this creates a new PID namespace that every subsequent child of TASK A will belong to. But TASK A doesn't itself belong to that new PID namespace. 2) TASK A forks() and creates TASK B. TASK A stays attached to its PID namespace (let's say PID_NS1) and TASK B is the first task belonging to the new PID namespace created by unshare() (let's call it PID_NS2). 3) Since TASK B is the first task attached to PID_NS2, it becomes the PID_NS2 child reaper. 4) TASK A forks() again and creates TASK C which get attached to PID_NS2. Note how TASK C has TASK A as a parent (belonging to PID_NS1) but has TASK B (belonging to PID_NS2) as a pid_namespace child_reaper. 5) TASK B exits and since it is the child reaper for PID_NS2, it has to kill all other tasks attached to PID_NS2, and wait for all of them to die before getting reaped itself (zap_pid_ns_process()). 6) TASK A calls synchronize_rcu_tasks() which leads to synchronize_srcu(&tasks_rcu_exit_srcu). 7) TASK B is waiting for TASK C to get reaped. But TASK B is under a tasks_rcu_exit_srcu SRCU critical section (exit_notify() is between exit_tasks_rcu_start() and exit_tasks_rcu_finish()), blocking TASK A. 8) TASK C exits and since TASK A is its parent, it waits for it to reap TASK C, but it can't because TASK A waits for TASK B that waits for TASK C. Pid_namespace semantics can hardly be changed at this point. But the coverage of tasks_rcu_exit_srcu can be reduced instead. The current task is assumed not to be concurrently reapable at this stage of exit_notify() and therefore tasks_rcu_exit_srcu can be temporarily relaxed without breaking its constraints, providing a way out of the deadlock scenario.
