* drivers: avoid format strings in names passed to alloc_workqueue()Kees Cook2013-07-031-3/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | For the workqueue creation interfaces that do not expect format strings, make sure they cannot accidently be parsed that way. Additionally, clean up calls made with a single parameter that would be handled as a format string. Many callers are passing potentially dynamic string content, so use "%s" in those cases to avoid any potential accidents.

* workqueues: Introduce new flag WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT for power oriented workqueuesViresh Kumar2013-05-141-0/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Workqueues can be performance or power-oriented. Currently, most workqueues are bound to the CPU they were created on. This gives good performance (due to cache effects) at the cost of potentially waking up otherwise idle cores (Idle from scheduler's perspective. Which may or may not be physically idle) just to process some work. To save power, we can allow the work to be rescheduled on a core that is already awake. Workqueues created with the WQ_UNBOUND flag will allow some power savings. However, we don't change the default behaviour of the system. To enable power-saving behaviour, a new config option CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT needs to be turned on. This option can also be overridden by the workqueue.power_efficient boot parameter. tj: Updated config description and comments. Renamed CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT to CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT_DEFAULT.

* workqueue: include workqueue info when printing debug dump of a worker taskTejun Heo2013-04-301-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | One of the problems that arise when converting dedicated custom threadpool to workqueue is that the shared worker pool used by workqueue anonimizes each worker making it more difficult to identify what the worker was doing on which target from the output of sysrq-t or debug dump from oops, BUG() and friends. This patch implements set_worker_desc() which can be called from any workqueue work function to set its description. When the worker task is dumped for whatever reason - sysrq-t, WARN, BUG, oops, lockdep assertion and so on - the description will be printed out together with the workqueue name and the worker function pointer. The printing side is implemented by print_worker_info() which is called from functions in task dump paths - sched_show_task() and dump_stack_print_info(). print_worker_info() can be safely called on any task in any state as long as the task struct itself is accessible. It uses probe_*() functions to access worker fields. It may print garbage if something went very wrong, but it wouldn't cause (another) oops. The description is currently limited to 24bytes including the terminating \0. worker->desc_valid and workder->desc[] are added and the 64 bytes marker which was already incorrect before adding the new fields is moved to the correct position. Here's an example dump with writeback updated to set the bdi name as worker desc.

* workqueue: implement sysfs interface for workqueuesTejun Heo2013-03-121-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are cases where workqueue users want to expose control knobs to userland. e.g. Unbound workqueues with custom attributes are scheduled to be used for writeback workers and depending on configuration it can be useful to allow admins to tinker with the priority or allowed CPUs. This patch implements workqueue_sysfs_register(), which makes the workqueue visible under /sys/bus/workqueue/devices/WQ_NAME. There currently are two attributes common to both per-cpu and unbound pools and extra attributes for unbound pools including nice level and cpumask. If alloc_workqueue*() is called with WQ_SYSFS, workqueue_sysfs_register() is called automatically as part of workqueue creation. This is the preferred method unless the workqueue user wants to apply workqueue_attrs before making the workqueue visible to userland. v2: Disallow exposing ordered workqueues as ordered workqueues can't be tuned in any way.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Adjusting max_active of or applying new workqueue_attrs to an ordered workqueue breaks its ordering guarantee. The former is obvious. The latter is because applying attrs creates a new pwq (pool_workqueue) and there is no ordering constraint between the old and new pwqs.

* workqueue: implement apply_workqueue_attrs()Tejun Heo2013-03-121-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implement apply_workqueue_attrs() which applies workqueue_attrs to the specified unbound workqueue by creating a new pwq (pool_workqueue) linked to worker_pool with the specified attributes. A new pwq is linked at the head of wq->pwqs instead of tail and __queue_work() verifies that the first unbound pwq has positive refcnt before choosing it for the actual queueing. This is to cover the case where creation of a new pwq races with queueing. As base ref on a pwq won't be dropped without making another pwq the first one, __queue_work() is guaranteed to make progress and not add work item to a dead pwq. init_and_link_pwq() is updated to return the last first pwq the new pwq replaced, which is put by apply_workqueue_attrs(). Note that apply_workqueue_attrs() is almost identical to unbound pwq part of alloc_and_link_pwqs(). The only difference is that there is no previous first pwq. apply_workqueue_attrs() is implemented to handle such cases and replaces unbound pwq handling in alloc_and_link_pwqs().

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | WQ_RESCUER is superflous. WQ_MEM_RECLAIM indicates that the user wants a rescuer and testing wq->rescuer for NULL can answer whether a given workqueue has a rescuer or not. Drop WQ_RESCUER and test wq->rescuer directly. This will help simplifying __alloc_workqueue_key() failure path by allowing it to use destroy_workqueue() on a partially constructed workqueue, which in turn will help implementing dynamic management of pool_workqueues. While at it, clear wq->rescuer after freeing it in destroy_workqueue(). This is a precaution as scheduled changes will make destruction more complex.

WORK_OFFQ_* currently only use bits used by on-queue CWQ pointer. As color bits aren't used while off-queue, there's no reason to not use them. Lower WORK_OFFQ_FLAG_BASE from WORK_STRUCT_FLAG_BITS to WORK_STRUCT_COLOR_SHIFT thus giving 4 more bits to off-queue flag space which is also used to record worker_pool ID while off-queue.

* workqueue: add delayed_work->wq to simplify reentrancy handlingLai Jiangshan2013-02-061-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To avoid executing the same work item from multiple CPUs concurrently, a work_struct records the last pool it was on in its ->data so that, on the next queueing, the pool can be queried to determine whether the work item is still executing or not. A delayed_work goes through timer before actually being queued on the target workqueue and the timer needs to know the target workqueue and CPU. This is currently achieved by modifying delayed_work->work.data such that it points to the cwq which points to the target workqueue and the last CPU the work item was on. __queue_delayed_work() extracts the last CPU from delayed_work->work.data and then combines it with the target workqueue to create new work.data. The only thing this rather ugly hack achieves is encoding the target workqueue into delayed_work->work.data without using a separate field, which could be a trade off one can make; unfortunately, this entangles work->data management between regular workqueue and delayed_work code by setting cwq pointer before the work item is actually queued and becomes a hindrance for further improvements of work->data handling. This can be easily made sane by adding a target workqueue field to delayed_work. While delayed_work is used widely in the kernel and this does make it a bit larger (<5%), I think this is the right trade-off especially given the prospect of much saner handling of work->data which currently involves quite tricky memory barrier dancing, and don't expect to see any measureable effect.

* workqueue: record pool ID instead of CPU in work->data when off-queueTejun Heo2013-01-241-9/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, when a work item is off-queue, work->data records the CPU it was last on, which is used to locate the last executing instance for non-reentrance, flushing, etc. We're in the process of removing global_cwq and making worker_pool the top level abstraction. This patch makes work->data point to the pool it was last associated with instead of CPU. After the previous WORK_OFFQ_POOL_CPU and worker_poo->id additions, the conversion is fairly straight-forward. WORK_OFFQ constants and functions are modified to record and read back pool ID instead. worker_pool_by_id() is added to allow looking up pool from ID. get_work_pool() replaces get_work_gcwq(), which is reimplemented using get_work_pool(). get_work_pool_id() replaces work_cpu().

* workqueue: fix CPU binding of flush_delayed_work[_sync]()Tejun Heo2012-08-131-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | delayed_work encodes the workqueue to use and the last CPU in delayed_work->work.data while it's on timer. The target CPU is implicitly recorded as the CPU the timer is queued on and delayed_work_timer_fn() queues delayed_work->work to the CPU it is running on. Unfortunately, this leaves flush_delayed_work[_sync]() no way to find out which CPU the delayed_work was queued for when they try to re-queue after killing the timer. Currently, it chooses the local CPU flush is running on. This can unexpectedly move a delayed_work queued on a specific CPU to another CPU and lead to subtle errors. There isn't much point in trying to save several bytes in struct delayed_work, which is already close to a hundred bytes on 64bit with all debug options turned off. This patch adds delayed_work->cpu to remember the CPU it's queued for. Note that if the timer is migrated during CPU down, the work item could be queued to the downed global_cwq after this change. As a detached global_cwq behaves like an unbound one, this doesn't change much for the delayed_work.

* workqueue: implement mod_delayed_work[_on]()Tejun Heo2012-08-031-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Workqueue was lacking a mechanism to modify the timeout of an already pending delayed_work. delayed_work users have been working around this using several methods - using an explicit timer + work item, messing directly with delayed_work->timer, and canceling before re-queueing, all of which are error-prone and/or ugly. This patch implements mod_delayed_work[_on]() which behaves similarly to mod_timer() - if the delayed_work is idle, it's queued with the given delay; otherwise, its timeout is modified to the new value. Zero @delay guarantees immediate execution. v2: Updated to reflect try_to_grab_pending() changes. Now safe to be called from bh context.

* workqueue: mark a work item being canceled as suchTejun Heo2012-08-031-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There can be two reasons try_to_grab_pending() can fail with -EAGAIN. One is when someone else is queueing or deqeueing the work item. With the previous patches, it is guaranteed that PENDING and queued state will soon agree making it safe to busy-retry in this case. The other is if multiple __cancel_work_timer() invocations are racing one another. __cancel_work_timer() grabs PENDING and then waits for running instances of the target work item on all CPUs while holding PENDING and !queued. try_to_grab_pending() invoked from another task will keep returning -EAGAIN while the current owner is waiting. Not distinguishing the two cases is okay because __cancel_work_timer() is the only user of try_to_grab_pending() and it invokes wait_on_work() whenever grabbing fails. For the first case, busy looping should be fine but wait_on_work() doesn't cause any critical problem. For the latter case, the new contender usually waits for the same condition as the current owner, so no unnecessarily extended busy-looping happens. Combined, these make __cancel_work_timer() technically correct even without irq protection while grabbing PENDING or distinguishing the two different cases. While the current code is technically correct, not distinguishing the two cases makes it difficult to use try_to_grab_pending() for other purposes than canceling because it's impossible to tell whether it's safe to busy-retry grabbing. This patch adds a mechanism to mark a work item being canceled. try_to_grab_pending() now disables irq on success and returns -EAGAIN to indicate that grabbing failed but PENDING and queued states are gonna agree soon and it's safe to busy-loop. It returns -ENOENT if the work item is being canceled and it may stay PENDING && !queued for arbitrary amount of time. __cancel_work_timer() is modified to mark the work canceling with WORK_OFFQ_CANCELING after grabbing PENDING, thus making try_to_grab_pending() fail with -ENOENT instead of -EAGAIN. Also, it invokes wait_on_work() iff grabbing failed with -ENOENT. This isn't necessary for correctness but makes it consistent with other future users of try_to_grab_pending(). v2: try_to_grab_pending() was testing preempt_count() to ensure that the caller has disabled preemption. This triggers spuriously if !CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT. Use preemptible() instead. Reported by Fengguang Wu. v3: Updated so that try_to_grab_pending() disables irq on success rather than requiring preemption disabled by the caller. This makes busy-looping easier and will allow try_to_grap_pending() to be used from bh/irq contexts. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Fengguang Wu <fengguang.wu@intel.com>
* workqueue: introduce WORK_OFFQ_FLAG_*Tejun Heo2012-08-031-1/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Low WORK_STRUCT_FLAG_BITS bits of work_struct->data contain WORK_STRUCT_FLAG_* and flush color. If the work item is queued, the rest point to the cpu_workqueue with WORK_STRUCT_CWQ set; otherwise, WORK_STRUCT_CWQ is clear and the bits contain the last CPU number - either a real CPU number or one of WORK_CPU_*. Scheduled addition of mod_delayed_work[_on]() requires an additional flag, which is used only while a work item is off queue. There are more than enough bits to represent off-queue CPU number on both 32 and 64bits. This patch introduces WORK_OFFQ_FLAG_* which occupy the lower part of the @work->data high bits while off queue. This patch doesn't define any actual OFFQ flag yet. Off-queue CPU number is now shifted by WORK_OFFQ_CPU_SHIFT, which adds the number of bits used by OFFQ flags to WORK_STRUCT_FLAG_SHIFT, to make room for OFFQ flags. To avoid shift width warning with large WORK_OFFQ_FLAG_BITS, ulong cast is added to WORK_STRUCT_NO_CPU and, just in case, BUILD_BUG_ON() to check that there are enough bits to accomodate off-queue CPU number is added. This patch doesn't make any functional difference. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
* workqueue: set delayed_work->timer function on initializationTejun Heo2012-08-031-2/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | delayed_work->timer.function is currently initialized during queue_delayed_work_on(). Export delayed_work_timer_fn() and set delayed_work timer function during delayed_work initialization together with other fields. This ensures the timer function is always valid on an initialized delayed_work. This is to help mod_delayed_work() implementation. To detect delayed_work users which diddle with the internal timer, trigger WARN if timer function doesn't match on queue. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

* Block: use a freezable workqueue for disk-event pollingAlan Stern2012-03-021-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch (as1519) fixes a bug in the block layer's disk-events polling. The polling is done by a work routine queued on the system_nrt_wq workqueue. Since that workqueue isn't freezable, the polling continues even in the middle of a system sleep transition. Obviously, polling a suspended drive for media changes and such isn't a good thing to do; in the case of USB mass-storage devices it can lead to real problems requiring device resets and even re-enumeration. The patch fixes things by creating a new system-wide, non-reentrant, freezable workqueue and using it for disk-events polling.

* workqueue: make alloc_workqueue() take printf fmt and args for nameTejun Heo2012-01-101-16/+31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | alloc_workqueue() currently expects the passed in @name pointer to remain accessible. This is inconvenient and a bit silly given that the whole wq is being dynamically allocated. This patch updates alloc_workqueue() and friends to take printf format string instead of opaque string and matching varargs at the end. The name is allocated together with the wq and formatted. alloc_ordered_workqueue() is converted to a macro to unify varargs handling with alloc_workqueue(), and, while at it, add comment to alloc_workqueue(). None of the current in-kernel users pass in string with '%' as constant name and this change shouldn't cause any problem.
