* License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman2017-11-021-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

* sched/cpuset/pm: Fix cpuset vs. suspend-resume bugsPeter Zijlstra2017-09-071-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Cpusets vs. suspend-resume is _completely_ broken. And it got noticed because it now resulted in non-cpuset usage breaking too. On suspend cpuset_cpu_inactive() doesn't call into cpuset_update_active_cpus() because it doesn't want to move tasks about, there is no need, all tasks are frozen and won't run again until after we've resumed everything. But this means that when we finally do call into cpuset_update_active_cpus() after resuming the last frozen cpu in cpuset_cpu_active(), the top_cpuset will not have any difference with the cpu_active_mask and this it will not in fact do _anything_. So the cpuset configuration will not be restored. This was largely hidden because we would unconditionally create identity domains and mobile users would not in fact use cpusets much. And servers what do use cpusets tend to not suspend-resume much. An addition problem is that we'd not in fact wait for the cpuset work to finish before resuming the tasks, allowing spurious migrations outside of the specified domains. Fix the rebuild by introducing cpuset_force_rebuild() and fix the ordering with cpuset_wait_for_hotplug().

* cpuset: Make nr_cpusets privatePaolo Bonzini2017-08-101-6/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Any use of key->enabled (that is static_key_enabled and static_key_count) outside jump_label_lock should handle its own serialization. In the case of cpusets_enabled_key, the key is always incremented/decremented under cpuset_mutex, and hence the same rule applies to nr_cpusets. The rule *is* respected currently, but the mutex is static so nr_cpusets should be static too.

* cpuset: fix a deadlock due to incomplete patching of cpusets_enabled()Dima Zavin2017-08-021-2/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In codepaths that use the begin/retry interface for reading mems_allowed_seq with irqs disabled, there exists a race condition that stalls the patch process after only modifying a subset of the static_branch call sites. This problem manifested itself as a deadlock in the slub allocator, inside get_any_partial. The loop reads mems_allowed_seq value (via read_mems_allowed_begin), performs the defrag operation, and then verifies the consistency of mem_allowed via the read_mems_allowed_retry and the cookie returned by xxx_begin. The issue here is that both begin and retry first check if cpusets are enabled via cpusets_enabled() static branch. This branch can be rewritted dynamically (via cpuset_inc) if a new cpuset is created. The x86 jump label code fully synchronizes across all CPUs for every entry it rewrites. If it rewrites only one of the callsites (specifically the one in read_mems_allowed_retry) and then waits for the smp_call_function(do_sync_core) to complete while a CPU is inside the begin/retry section with IRQs off and the mems_allowed value is changed, we can hang. This is because begin() will always return 0 (since it wasn't patched yet) while retry() will test the 0 against the actual value of the seq counter. The fix is to use two different static keys: one for begin (pre_enable_key) and one for retry (enable_key). In cpuset_inc(), we first bump the pre_enable key to ensure that cpuset_mems_allowed_begin() always return a valid seqcount if are enabling cpusets. Similarly, when disabling cpusets via cpuset_dec(), we first ensure that callers of cpuset_mems_allowed_retry() will start ignoring the seqcount value before we let cpuset_mems_allowed_begin() return 0.

* cpuset: use static key better and convert to new APIVlastimil Babka2016-05-191-14/+28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | An important function for cpusets is cpuset_node_allowed(), which optimizes on the fact if there's a single root CPU set, it must be trivially allowed. But the check "nr_cpusets() <= 1" doesn't use the cpusets_enabled_key static key the right way where static keys eliminate branching overhead with jump labels. This patch converts it so that static key is used properly. It's also switched to the new static key API and the checking functions are converted to return bool instead of int. We also provide a new variant __cpuset_zone_allowed() which expects that the static key check was already done and they key was enabled. This is needed for get_page_from_freelist() where we want to also avoid the relatively slower check when ALLOC_CPUSET is not set in alloc_flags. The impact on the page allocator microbenchmark is less than expected but the cleanup in itself is worthwhile. 4.6.0-rc2 4.6.0-rc2 multcheck-v1r20 cpuset-v1r20 Min alloc-odr0-1 348.00 ( 0.00%) 348.00 ( 0.00%) Min alloc-odr0-2 254.00 ( 0.00%) 254.00 ( 0.00%) Min alloc-odr0-4 213.00 ( 0.00%) 213.00 ( 0.00%) Min alloc-odr0-8 186.00 ( 0.00%) 183.00 ( 1.61%) Min alloc-odr0-16 173.00 ( 0.00%) 171.00 ( 1.16%) Min alloc-odr0-32 166.00 ( 0.00%) 163.00 ( 1.81%) Min alloc-odr0-64 162.00 ( 0.00%) 159.00 ( 1.85%) Min alloc-odr0-128 160.00 ( 0.00%) 157.00 ( 1.88%) Min alloc-odr0-256 169.00 ( 0.00%) 166.00 ( 1.78%) Min alloc-odr0-512 180.00 ( 0.00%) 180.00 ( 0.00%) Min alloc-odr0-1024 188.00 ( 0.00%) 187.00 ( 0.53%) Min alloc-odr0-2048 194.00 ( 0.00%) 193.00 ( 0.52%) Min alloc-odr0-4096 199.00 ( 0.00%) 198.00 ( 0.50%) Min alloc-odr0-8192 202.00 ( 0.00%) 201.00 ( 0.50%) Min alloc-odr0-16384 203.00 ( 0.00%) 202.00 ( 0.49%) Signed-off-by: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Mel Gorman <mgorman@techsingularity.net> Acked-by: Zefan Li <lizefan@huawei.com> Cc: Jesper Dangaard Brouer <brouer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
* cgroup, cpuset: replace cpuset_post_attach_flush() with ↵Tejun Heo2016-04-251-6/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | cgroup_subsys->post_attach callback Since e93ad19d0564 ("cpuset: make mm migration asynchronous"), cpuset kicks off asynchronous NUMA node migration if necessary during task migration and flushes it from cpuset_post_attach_flush() which is called at the end of __cgroup_procs_write(). This is to avoid performing migration with cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem write-locked which can lead to deadlock through dependency on kworker creation. memcg has a similar issue with charge moving, so let's convert it to an official callback rather than the current one-off cpuset specific function. This patch adds cgroup_subsys->post_attach callback and makes cpuset register cpuset_post_attach_flush() as its ->post_attach. The conversion is mostly one-to-one except that the new callback is called under cgroup_mutex. This is to guarantee that no other migration operations are started before ->post_attach callbacks are finished. cgroup_mutex is one of the outermost mutex in the system and has never been and shouldn't be a problem. We can add specialized synchronization around __cgroup_procs_write() but I don't think there's any noticeable benefit.

* cpuset: make mm migration asynchronousTejun Heo2016-01-221-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If "cpuset.memory_migrate" is set, when a process is moved from one cpuset to another with a different memory node mask, pages in used by the process are migrated to the new set of nodes. This was performed synchronously in the ->attach() callback, which is synchronized against process management. Recently, the synchronization was changed from per-process rwsem to global percpu rwsem for simplicity and optimization. Combined with the synchronous mm migration, this led to deadlocks because mm migration could schedule a work item which may in turn try to create a new worker blocking on the process management lock held from cgroup process migration path. This heavy an operation shouldn't be performed synchronously from that deep inside cgroup migration in the first place. This patch punts the actual migration to an ordered workqueue and updates cgroup process migration and cpuset config update paths to flush the workqueue after all locks are released. This way, the operations still seem synchronous to userland without entangling mm migration with process management synchronization. CPU hotplug can also invoke mm migration but there's no reason for it to wait for mm migrations and thus doesn't synchronize against their completions.

* mm, oom: remove task_lock protecting comm printingDavid Rientjes2015-11-051-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The oom killer takes task_lock() in a couple of places solely to protect printing the task's comm. A process's comm, including current's comm, may change due to /proc/pid/comm or PR_SET_NAME. The comm will always be NULL-terminated, so the worst race scenario would only be during update. We can tolerate a comm being printed that is in the middle of an update to avoid taking the lock. Other locations in the kernel have already dropped task_lock() when printing comm, so this is consistent.

* cpuset: simplify cpuset_node_allowed APIVladimir Davydov2014-10-271-30/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Current cpuset API for checking if a zone/node is allowed to allocate from looks rather awkward. We have hardwall and softwall versions of cpuset_node_allowed with the softwall version doing literally the same as the hardwall version if __GFP_HARDWALL is passed to it in gfp flags. If it isn't, the softwall version may check the given node against the enclosing hardwall cpuset, which it needs to take the callback lock to do. Such a distinction was introduced by commit 02a0e53d8227 ("cpuset: rework cpuset_zone_allowed api"). Before, we had the only version with the __GFP_HARDWALL flag determining its behavior. The purpose of the commit was to avoid sleep-in-atomic bugs when someone would mistakenly call the function without the __GFP_HARDWALL flag for an atomic allocation. The suffixes introduced were intended to make the callers think before using the function. However, since the callback lock was converted from mutex to spinlock by the previous patch, the softwall check function cannot sleep, and these precautions are no longer necessary. So let's simplify the API back to the single check.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we change cpuset.memory_spread_{page,slab}, cpuset will flip PF_SPREAD_{PAGE,SLAB} bit of tsk->flags for each task in that cpuset. This should be done using atomic bitops, but currently we don't, which is broken. Tetsuo reported a hard-to-reproduce kernel crash on RHEL6, which happened when one thread tried to clear PF_USED_MATH while at the same time another thread tried to flip PF_SPREAD_PAGE/PF_SPREAD_SLAB. They both operate on the same task. Here's the full report: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/9/19/230 To fix this, we make PF_SPREAD_PAGE and PF_SPREAD_SLAB atomic flags. v4: - updated mm/slab.c.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since put_mems_allowed() is strictly optional, its a seqcount retry, we don't need to evaluate the function if the allocation was in fact successful, saving a smp_rmb some loads and comparisons on some relative fast-paths. Since the naming, get/put_mems_allowed() does suggest a mandatory pairing, rename the interface, as suggested by Mel, to resemble the seqcount interface. This gives us: read_mems_allowed_begin() and read_mems_allowed_retry(), where it is important to note that the return value of the latter call is inverted from its previous incarnation.

Since CPU_STARTING is ran before setting the cpu online, there's a (small) window where the cpu has active,!online. If during this time there's a wakeup of a task that used to reside on that cpu select_task_rq() will use select_fallback_rq() to compute an alternative cpu to run on since we find !online. select_fallback_rq() however will compute the new cpu against cpu_active, this means that it can return the same cpu it started out with, the !online one, since that cpu is in fact marked active. This results in us trying to scheduling a task on an offline cpu and triggering a WARN in the IPI code. The solution proposed by Chuansheng Liu of setting cpu_active in set_cpu_online() is buggy, firstly not all archs actually use set_cpu_online(), secondly, not all archs call set_cpu_online() with IRQs disabled, this means we would introduce either the same race or the race from fd8a7de17 ("x86: cpu-hotplug: Prevent softirq wakeup on wrong CPU") -- albeit much narrower. [ By setting online first and active later we have a window of online,!active, fresh and bound kthreads have task_cpu() of 0 and since cpu0 isn't in tsk_cpus_allowed() we end up in select_fallback_rq() which excludes !active, resulting in a reset of ->cpus_allowed and the thread running all over the place. ] The solution is to re-work select_fallback_rq() to require active _and_ online. This makes the active,!online case work as expected, OTOH archs running CPU_STARTING after setting online are now vulnerable to the issue from fd8a7de17 -- these are alpha and blackfin.

* | cpuset: mm: reduce large amounts of memory barrier related damage v3Mel Gorman2012-03-211-27/+20
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit c0ff7453bb5c ("cpuset,mm: fix no node to alloc memory when changing cpuset's mems") wins a super prize for the largest number of memory barriers entered into fast paths for one commit. [get|put]_mems_allowed is incredibly heavy with pairs of full memory barriers inserted into a number of hot paths. This was detected while investigating at large page allocator slowdown introduced some time after 2.6.32. The largest portion of this overhead was shown by oprofile to be at an mfence introduced by this commit into the page allocator hot path. For extra style points, the commit introduced the use of yield() in an implementation of what looks like a spinning mutex. This patch replaces the full memory barriers on both read and write sides with a sequence counter with just read barriers on the fast path side. This is much cheaper on some architectures, including x86. The main bulk of the patch is the retry logic if the nodemask changes in a manner that can cause a false failure. While updating the nodemask, a check is made to see if a false failure is a risk. If it is, the sequence number gets bumped and parallel allocators will briefly stall while the nodemask update takes place. In a page fault test microbenchmark, oprofile samples from __alloc_pages_nodemask went from 4.53% of all samples to 1.15%.

The actual number of page faults is noticeably improved. For benchmarks like kernel builds, the overall benefit is marginal but the system CPU time is slightly reduced. To test the actual bug the commit fixed I opened two terminals. The first ran within a cpuset and continually ran a small program that faulted 100M of anonymous data. In a second window, the nodemask of the cpuset was continually randomised in a loop. Without the commit, the program would fail every so often (usually within 10 seconds) and obviously with the commit everything worked fine. With this patch applied, it also worked fine so the fix should be functionally equivalent.

* sched: adjust when cpu_active and cpuset configurations are updated during ↵Tejun Heo2010-06-081-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | cpu on/offlining Currently, when a cpu goes down, cpu_active is cleared before CPU_DOWN_PREPARE starts and cpuset configuration is updated from a default priority cpu notifier. When a cpu is coming up, it's set before CPU_ONLINE but cpuset configuration again is updated from the same cpu notifier. For cpu notifiers, this presents an inconsistent state. Threads which a CPU_DOWN_PREPARE notifier expects to be bound to the CPU can be migrated to other cpus because the cpu is no more inactive. Fix it by updating cpu_active in the highest priority cpu notifier and cpuset configuration in the second highest when a cpu is coming up. Down path is updated similarly. This guarantees that all other cpu notifiers see consistent cpu_active and cpuset configuration. cpuset_track_online_cpus() notifier is converted to cpuset_update_active_cpus() which just updates the configuration and now called from cpuset_cpu_[in]active() notifiers registered from sched_init_smp(). If cpuset is disabled, cpuset_update_active_cpus() degenerates into partition_sched_domains() making separate notifier for !CONFIG_CPUSETS unnecessary. This problem is triggered by cmwq. During CPU_DOWN_PREPARE, hotplug callback creates a kthread and kthread_bind()s it to the target cpu, and the thread is expected to run on that cpu. * Ingo's test discovered __cpuinit/exit markups were incorrect.

* cpusets: new round-robin rotor for SLAB allocationsJack Steiner2010-05-271-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We have observed several workloads running on multi-node systems where memory is assigned unevenly across the nodes in the system. There are numerous reasons for this but one is the round-robin rotor in cpuset_mem_spread_node(). For example, a simple test that writes a multi-page file will allocate pages on nodes 0 2 4 6 ... Odd nodes are skipped. (Sometimes it allocates on odd nodes & skips even nodes). An example is shown below. The program "lfile" writes a file consisting of 10 pages. The program then mmaps the file & uses get_mempolicy(..., MPOL_F_NODE) to determine the nodes where the file pages were allocated. The output is shown below: # ./lfile allocated on nodes: 2 4 6 0 1 2 6 0 2 There is a single rotor that is used for allocating both file pages & slab pages. Writing the file allocates both a data page & a slab page (buffer_head). This advances the RR rotor 2 nodes for each page allocated. A quick confirmation seems to confirm this is the cause of the uneven allocation: # echo 0 >/dev/cpuset/memory_spread_slab # ./lfile allocated on nodes: 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 This patch introduces a second rotor that is used for slab allocations.

* cpuset,mm: fix no node to alloc memory when changing cpuset's memsMiao Xie2010-05-251-0/+43
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Before applying this patch, cpuset updates task->mems_allowed and mempolicy by setting all new bits in the nodemask first, and clearing all old unallowed bits later. But in the way, the allocator may find that there is no node to alloc memory. The reason is that cpuset rebinds the task's mempolicy, it cleans the nodes which the allocater can alloc pages on, for example: (mpol: mempolicy) task1 task1's mpol task2 alloc page 1 alloc on node0? NO 1 1 change mems from 1 to 0 1 rebind task1's mpol 0-1 set new bits 0 clear disallowed bits alloc on node1? NO 0 ... can't alloc page goto oom This patch fixes this problem by expanding the nodes range first(set newly allowed bits) and shrink it lazily(clear newly disallowed bits). So we use a variable to tell the write-side task that read-side task is reading nodemask, and the write-side task clears newly disallowed nodes after read-side task ends the current memory allocation.

* sched: Make select_fallback_rq() cpuset friendlyOleg Nesterov2010-04-021-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce cpuset_cpus_allowed_fallback() helper to fix the cpuset problems with select_fallback_rq(). It can be called from any context and can't use any cpuset locks including task_lock(). It is called when the task doesn't have online cpus in ->cpus_allowed but ttwu/etc must be able to find a suitable cpu. I am not proud of this patch. Everything which needs such a fat comment can't be good even if correct. But I'd prefer to not change the locking rules in the code I hardly understand, and in any case I believe this simple change make the code much more correct compared to deadlocks we currently have.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | cpuset_lock/cpuset_cpus_allowed_locked code This patch just states the fact the cpusets/cpuhotplug interaction is broken and removes the deadlockable code which only pretends to work. - cpuset_lock() doesn't really work. It is needed for cpuset_cpus_allowed_locked() but we can't take this lock in try_to_wake_up()->select_fallback_rq() path. - cpuset_lock() is deadlockable. Suppose that a task T bound to CPU takes callback_mutex. If cpu_down(CPU) happens before T drops callback_mutex stop_machine() preempts T, then migration_call(CPU_DEAD) tries to take cpuset_lock() and hangs forever because CPU is already dead and thus T can't be scheduled. - cpuset_cpus_allowed_locked() is deadlockable too. It takes task_lock() which is not irq-safe, but try_to_wake_up() can be called from irq. Kill them, and change select_fallback_rq() to use cpu_possible_mask, like we currently do without CONFIG_CPUSETS. Also, with or without this patch, with or without CONFIG_CPUSETS, the callers of select_fallback_rq() can race with each other or with set_cpus_allowed() pathes. The subsequent patches try to to fix these problems.

* cpuset,mm: update tasks' mems_allowed in timeMiao Xie2009-06-161-4/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix allocating page cache/slab object on the unallowed node when memory spread is set by updating tasks' mems_allowed after its cpuset's mems is changed. In order to update tasks' mems_allowed in time, we must modify the code of memory policy. Because the memory policy is applied in the process's context originally. After applying this patch, one task directly manipulates anothers mems_allowed, and we use alloc_lock in the task_struct to protect mems_allowed and memory policy of the task. But in the fast path, we didn't use lock to protect them, because adding a lock may lead to performance regression. But if we don't add a lock,the task might see no nodes when changing cpuset's mems_allowed to some non-overlapping set. In order to avoid it, we set all new allowed nodes, then clear newly disallowed ones. [lee.schermerhorn@hp.com: The rework of mpol_new() to extract the adjusting of the node mask to apply cpuset and mpol flags "context" breaks set_mempolicy() and mbind() with MPOL_PREFERRED and a NULL nodemask--i.e., explicit local allocation. Fix this by adding the check for MPOL_PREFERRED and empty node mask to mpol_new_mpolicy(). Remove the now unneeded 'nodes = NULL' from mpol_new(). Note that mpol_new_mempolicy() is always called with a non-NULL 'nodes' parameter now that it has been removed from mpol_new(). Therefore, we don't need to test nodes for NULL before testing it for 'empty'. However, just to be extra paranoid, add a VM_BUG_ON() to verify this assumption.] [lee.schermerhorn@hp.com: I don't think the function name 'mpol_new_mempolicy' is descriptive enough to differentiate it from mpol_new(). This function applies cpuset set context, usually constraining nodes to those allowed by the cpuset. However, when the 'RELATIVE_NODES flag is set, it also translates the nodes. So I settled on 'mpol_set_nodemask()', because the comment block for mpol_new() mentions that we need to call this function to "set nodes".

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After adding a node into the machine, top cpuset's mems isn't updated. By reviewing the code, we found that the update function cpuset_track_online_nodes() was invoked after node_states[N_ONLINE] changes. It is wrong because N_ONLINE just means node has pgdat, and if node has/added memory, we use N_HIGH_MEMORY. So, We should invoke the update function after node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY] changes, just like its commit says. This patch fixes it. And we use notifier of memory hotplug instead of direct calling of cpuset_track_online_nodes().

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | What I realized recently is that calling rebuild_sched_domains() in arch_reinit_sched_domains() by itself is not enough when cpusets are enabled. partition_sched_domains() code is trying to avoid unnecessary domain rebuilds and will not actually rebuild anything if new domain masks match the old ones. What this means is that doing echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/sched_mc_power_savings on a system with cpusets enabled will not take affect untill something changes in the cpuset setup (ie new sets created or deleted). This patch fixes restore correct behaviour where domains must be rebuilt in order to enable MC powersaving flags. Test on quad-core Core2 box with both CONFIG_CPUSETS and !CONFIG_CPUSETS.

* cpu hotplug, sched: Introduce cpu_active_map and redo sched domain managment ↵Max Krasnyansky2008-07-181-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (take 2) This is based on Linus' idea of creating cpu_active_map that prevents scheduler load balancer from migrating tasks to the cpu that is going down. It allows us to simplify domain management code and avoid unecessary domain rebuilds during cpu hotplug event handling. Please ignore the cpusets part for now. It needs some more work in order to avoid crazy lock nesting. Although I did simplfy and unify domain reinitialization logic. We now simply call partition_sched_domains() in all the cases. This means that we're using exact same code paths as in cpusets case and hence the test below cover cpusets too. Cpuset changes to make rebuild_sched_domains() callable from various contexts are in the separate patch (right next after this one). This not only boots but also easily handles while true; do make clean; make -j 8; done and while true; do on-off-cpu 1; done at the same time. (on-off-cpu 1 simple does echo 0/1 > /sys/.../cpu1/online thing). Suprisingly the box (dual-core Core2) is quite usable. In fact I'm typing this on right now in gnome-terminal and things are moving just fine. Also this is running with most of the debug features enabled (lockdep, mutex, etc) no BUG_ONs or lockdep complaints so far. I believe I addressed all of the Dmitry's comments for original Linus' version. I changed both fair and rt balancer to mask out non-active cpus. And replaced cpu_is_offline() with !cpu_active() in the main scheduler code where it made sense (to me).

* mm: filter based on a nodemask as well as a gfp_maskMel Gorman2008-04-281-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The MPOL_BIND policy creates a zonelist that is used for allocations controlled by that mempolicy. As the per-node zonelist is already being filtered based on a zone id, this patch adds a version of __alloc_pages() that takes a nodemask for further filtering. This eliminates the need for MPOL_BIND to create a custom zonelist. A positive benefit of this is that allocations using MPOL_BIND now use the local node's distance-ordered zonelist instead of a custom node-id-ordered zonelist. I.e., pages will be allocated from the closest allowed node with available memory.

* mempolicy: silently restrict nodemask to allowed nodesKOSAKI Motohiro2008-02-111-3/+0

This patch attempts to fix that problem. Some background: numactl --interleave=all calls set_mempolicy(2) with a fully populated [out to MAXNUMNODES] nodemask. set_mempolicy() [in do_set_mempolicy()] calls contextualize_policy() which requires that the nodemask be a subset of the current task's mems_allowed; else EINVAL will be returned. A task's mems_allowed will always be a subset of node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY] i.e., nodes with memory. So, a fully populated nodemask will be declared invalid if it includes memoryless nodes. NOTE: the same thing will occur when running in a cpuset with restricted mem_allowed--for the same reason: node mask contains dis-allowed nodes. mbind(2), on the other hand, just masks off any nodes in the nodemask that are not included in the caller's mems_allowed. In each case [mbind() and set_mempolicy()], mpol_check_policy() will complain [again, resulting in EINVAL] if the nodemask contains any memoryless nodes. This is somewhat redundant as mpol_new() will remove memoryless nodes for interleave policy, as will bind_zonelist()--called by mpol_new() for BIND policy. Proposed fix: 1) modify contextualize_policy logic to: a) remember whether the incoming node mask is empty. b) if not, restrict the nodemask to allowed nodes, as is currently done in-line for mbind(). This guarantees that the resulting mask includes only nodes with memory. NOTE: this is a [benign, IMO] change in behavior for set_mempolicy(). Dis-allowed nodes will be silently ignored, rather than returning an error. c) fold this code into mpol_check_policy(), replace 2 calls to contextualize_policy() to call mpol_check_policy() directly and remove contextualize_policy(). 2) In existing mpol_check_policy() logic, after "contextualization": a) MPOL_DEFAULT: require that in coming mask "was_empty" b) MPOL_{BIND|INTERLEAVE}: require that contextualized nodemask contains at least one node. c) add a case for MPOL_PREFERRED: if in coming was not empty and resulting mask IS empty, user specified invalid nodes. Return EINVAL. c) remove the now redundant check for memoryless nodes 3) remove the now redundant masking of policy nodes for interleave policy from mpol_new(). 4) Now that mpol_check_policy() contextualizes the nodemask, remove the in-line nodes_and() from sys_mbind(). I believe that this restores mbind() to the behavior before the memoryless-nodes patch series. E.g., we'll no longer treat an invalid nodemask with MPOL_PREFERRED as local allocation. [ Patch history: v1 -> v2: - Communicate whether or not incoming node mask was empty to mpol_check_policy() for better error checking. - As suggested by David Rientjes, remove the now unused cpuset_nodes_subset_current_mems_allowed() from cpuset.h v2 -> v3: - As suggested by Kosaki Motohito, fold the "contextualization" of policy nodemask into mpol_check_policy().

* hotplug cpu: migrate a task within its cpusetCliff Wickman2007-10-191-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a cpu is disabled, move_task_off_dead_cpu() is called for tasks that have been running on that cpu. Currently, such a task is migrated: 1) to any cpu on the same node as the disabled cpu, which is both online and among that task's cpus_allowed 2) to any cpu which is both online and among that task's cpus_allowed It is typical of a multithreaded application running on a large NUMA system to have its tasks confined to a cpuset so as to cluster them near the memory that they share. Furthermore, it is typical to explicitly place such a task on a specific cpu in that cpuset. And in that case the task's cpus_allowed includes only a single cpu. This patch would insert a preference to migrate such a task to some cpu within its cpuset (and set its cpus_allowed to its entire cpuset). With this patch, migrate the task to: 1) to any cpu on the same node as the disabled cpu, which is both online and among that task's cpus_allowed 2) to any online cpu within the task's cpuset 3) to any cpu which is both online and among that task's cpus_allowed In order to do this, move_task_off_dead_cpu() must make a call to cpuset_cpus_allowed_locked(), a new subset of cpuset_cpus_allowed(), that will not block. (name change - per Oleg's suggestion) Calls are made to cpuset_lock() and cpuset_unlock() in migration_call() to set the cpuset mutex during the whole migrate_live_tasks() and migrate_dead_tasks() procedure.

Tasks that do not have an intersection in their mems_allowed with the current task are not explicitly restricted from being OOM killed because it is quite possible that the candidate task has allocated memory there before and has since changed its mems_allowed.
