* workqueue: simplify the apply_workqueue_attrs_locked()wanghaibin2016-01-071-7/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | If the apply_wqattrs_prepare() returns NULL, it has already cleaned up the related resources, so it can return directly and avoid calling the clean up function again. This doesn't introduce any functional changes. Signed-off-by: wanghaibin <wanghaibin.wang@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
* workqueue: implement lockup detectorTejun Heo2015-12-081-3/+171
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Workqueue stalls can happen from a variety of usage bugs such as missing WQ_MEM_RECLAIM flag or concurrency managed work item indefinitely staying RUNNING. These stalls can be extremely difficult to hunt down because the usual warning mechanisms can't detect workqueue stalls and the internal state is pretty opaque. To alleviate the situation, this patch implements workqueue lockup detector. It periodically monitors all worker_pools periodically and, if any pool failed to make forward progress longer than the threshold duration, triggers warning and dumps workqueue state as follows. BUG: workqueue lockup - pool cpus=0 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 stuck for 31s! Showing busy workqueues and worker pools: workqueue events: flags=0x0 pwq 0: cpus=0 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 active=17/256 pending: monkey_wrench_fn, e1000_watchdog, cache_reap, vmstat_shepherd, release_one_tty, release_one_tty, release_one_tty, release_one_tty, release_one_tty, release_one_tty, release_one_tty, release_one_tty, release_one_tty, release_one_tty, release_one_tty, release_one_tty, cgroup_release_agent workqueue events_power_efficient: flags=0x80 pwq 0: cpus=0 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 active=2/256 pending: check_lifetime, neigh_periodic_work workqueue cgroup_pidlist_destroy: flags=0x0 pwq 0: cpus=0 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 active=1/1 pending: cgroup_pidlist_destroy_work_fn ... The detection mechanism is controller through kernel parameter workqueue.watchdog_thresh and can be updated at runtime through the sysfs module parameter file. v2: Decoupled from softlockup control knobs.

* | workqueue: make sure delayed work run in local cpuShaohua Li2015-09-301-4/+4
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | My system keeps crashing with below message. vmstat_update() schedules a delayed work in current cpu and expects the work runs in the cpu. schedule_delayed_work() is expected to make delayed work run in local cpu. The problem is timer can be migrated with NO_HZ. __queue_work() queues work in timer handler, which could run in a different cpu other than where the delayed work is scheduled. The end result is the delayed work runs in different cpu. The patch makes __queue_delayed_work records local cpu earlier. Where the timer runs doesn't change where the work runs with the change.

Unfortunately, it directly calls flush_workqueue() which is a GPL function. This has the effect of changing the licensing requirement for this function and makes it unavailable to non GPL modules.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Current wq_pool_mutex doesn't proctect the attrs-installation, it results that ->unbound_attrs, ->numa_pwq_tbl[] and ->dfl_pwq can only be accessed under wq->mutex and causes some inconveniences. Example, wq_update_unbound_numa() has to acquire wq->mutex before fetching the wq->unbound_attrs->no_numa and the old_pwq. attrs-installation is a short operation, so this change will no cause any latency for other operations which also acquire the wq_pool_mutex. The only unprotected attrs-installation code is in apply_workqueue_attrs(), so this patch touches code less than comments. It is also a preparation patch for next several patches which read wq->unbound_attrs, wq->numa_pwq_tbl[] and wq->dfl_pwq with only wq_pool_mutex held.

This is performed by traversing the entire workqueue list and calling apply_wqattrs_prepare() on the unbound workqueues with the new low level mask. Only after all the preparation are done, we commit them all together. Ordered workqueues are ignored from the low level unbound workqueue cpumask, it will be handled in near future. All the (default & per-node) pwqs are mandatorily controlled by the low level cpumask. If the user configured cpumask doesn't overlap with the low level cpumask, the low level cpumask will be used for the wq instead. The comment of wq_calc_node_cpumask() is updated and explicitly requires that its first argument should be the attrs of the default pwq. The default wq_unbound_cpumask is cpu_possible_mask. The workqueue subsystem doesn't know its best default value, let the system manager or the other subsystem set it when needed. Changed from V8: merge the calculating code for the attrs of the default pwq together. minor change the code&comments for saving the user configured attrs. remove unnecessary list_del(). minor update the comment of wq_calc_node_cpumask(). update the comment of workqueue_set_unbound_cpumask(); Cc: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux.com> Cc: Kevin Hilman <khilman@linaro.org> Cc: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@cn.fujitsu.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <bitbucket@online.de> Cc: Paul E.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Create a cpumask that limits the affinity of all unbound workqueues. This cpumask is controlled through a file at the root of the workqueue sysfs directory. It works on a lower-level than the per WQ_SYSFS workqueues cpumask files such that the effective cpumask applied for a given unbound workqueue is the intersection of /sys/devices/virtual/workqueue/$WORKQUEUE/cpumask and the new /sys/devices/virtual/workqueue/cpumask file. This patch implements the basic infrastructure and the read interface. wq_unbound_cpumask is initially set to cpu_possible_mask.

* | workqueue: split apply_workqueue_attrs() into 3 stagesLai Jiangshan2015-04-271-84/+115
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Current apply_workqueue_attrs() includes pwqs-allocation and pwqs-installation, so when we batch multiple apply_workqueue_attrs()s as a transaction, we can't ensure the transaction must succeed or fail as a complete unit. To solve this, we split apply_workqueue_attrs() into three stages. The first stage does the preparation: allocation memory, pwqs. The second stage does the attrs-installaion and pwqs-installation. The third stage frees the allocated memory and (old or unused) pwqs. As the result, batching multiple apply_workqueue_attrs()s can succeed or fail as a complete unit: 1) batch do all the first stage for all the workqueues 2) only commit all when all the above succeed. This patch is a preparation for the next patch ("Allow modifying low level unbound workqueue cpumask") which will do a multiple apply_workqueue_attrs(). The patch doesn't have functionality changed except two minor adjustment: 1) free_unbound_pwq() for the error path is removed, we use the heavier version put_pwq_unlocked() instead since the error path is rare. this adjustment simplifies the code. 2) the memory-allocation is also moved into wq_pool_mutex. this is needed to avoid to do the further splitting. tj: minor updates to comments.

* workqueue: dump workqueues on sysrq-tTejun Heo2015-03-091-0/+160
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Workqueues are used extensively throughout the kernel but sometimes it's difficult to debug stalls involving work items because visibility into its inner workings is fairly limited. Although sysrq-t task dump annotates each active worker task with the information on the work item being executed, it is challenging to find out which work items are pending or delayed on which queues and how pools are being managed. This patch implements show_workqueue_state() which dumps all busy workqueues and pools and is called from the sysrq-t handler. At the end of sysrq-t dump, something like the following is printed. Showing busy workqueues and worker pools: ... workqueue filler_wq: flags=0x0 pwq 2: cpus=1 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 active=2/256 in-flight: 491:filler_workfn, 507:filler_workfn pwq 0: cpus=0 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 active=2/256 in-flight: 501:filler_workfn pending: filler_workfn ... workqueue test_wq: flags=0x8 pwq 2: cpus=1 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 active=1/1 in-flight: 510(RESCUER):test_workfn BAR(69) BAR(500) delayed: test_workfn1 BAR(492), test_workfn2 ... pool 0: cpus=0 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 workers=2 manager: 137 pool 2: cpus=1 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 workers=3 manager: 469 pool 3: cpus=1 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=-20 workers=2 idle: 16 pool 8: cpus=0-3 flags=0x4 nice=0 workers=2 manager: 62 The above shows that test_wq is executing test_workfn() on pid 510 which is the rescuer and also that there are two tasks 69 and 500 waiting for the work item to finish in flush_work(). As test_wq has max_active of 1, there are two work items for test_workfn1() and test_workfn2() which are delayed till the current work item is finished. In addition, pid 492 is flushing test_workfn1(). The work item for test_workfn() is being executed on pwq of pool 2 which is the normal priority per-cpu pool for CPU 1. The pool has three workers, two of which are executing filler_workfn() for filler_wq and the last one is assuming the manager role trying to create more workers. This extra workqueue state dump will hopefully help chasing down hangs involving workqueues. v3: cpulist_pr_cont() replaced with "%*pbl" printf formatting. v2: As suggested by Andrew, minor formatting change in pr_cont_work(), printk()'s replaced with pr_info()'s, and cpumask printing now uses cpulist_pr_cont().

* workqueue: make the workqueues list RCU walkableTejun Heo2015-03-091-16/+31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The workqueues list is protected by wq_pool_mutex and a workqueue and its subordinate data structures are freed directly on destruction. We want to add the ability dump workqueues from a sysrq callback which requires walking all workqueues without grabbing wq_pool_mutex. This patch makes freeing of workqueues RCU protected and makes the workqueues list walkable while holding RCU read lock. Note that pool_workqueues and pools are already sched-RCU protected. For consistency, workqueues are also protected with sched-RCU. While at it, reverse the workqueues list so that a workqueue which is created earlier comes before. The order of the list isn't significant functionally but this makes the planned sysrq dump list system workqueues first. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
* workqueue: fix hang involving racing cancel[_delayed]_work_sync()'s for ↵Tejun Heo2015-03-051-4/+52
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | PREEMPT_NONE cancel[_delayed]_work_sync() are implemented using __cancel_work_timer() which grabs the PENDING bit using try_to_grab_pending() and then flushes the work item with PENDING set to prevent the on-going execution of the work item from requeueing itself. try_to_grab_pending() can always grab PENDING bit without blocking except when someone else is doing the above flushing during cancelation. In that case, try_to_grab_pending() returns -ENOENT. In this case, __cancel_work_timer() currently invokes flush_work(). The assumption is that the completion of the work item is what the other canceling task would be waiting for too and thus waiting for the same condition and retrying should allow forward progress without excessive busy looping Unfortunately, this doesn't work if preemption is disabled or the latter task has real time priority. Let's say task A just got woken up from flush_work() by the completion of the target work item. If, before task A starts executing, task B gets scheduled and invokes __cancel_work_timer() on the same work item, its try_to_grab_pending() will return -ENOENT as the work item is still being canceled by task A and flush_work() will also immediately return false as the work item is no longer executing. This puts task B in a busy loop possibly preventing task A from executing and clearing the canceling state on the work item leading to a hang. task A task B worker executing work __cancel_work_timer() try_to_grab_pending() set work CANCELING flush_work() block for work completion completion, wakes up A __cancel_work_timer() while (forever) { try_to_grab_pending() -ENOENT as work is being canceled flush_work() false as work is no longer executing } This patch removes the possible hang by updating __cancel_work_timer() to explicitly wait for clearing of CANCELING rather than invoking flush_work() after try_to_grab_pending() fails with -ENOENT.

* workqueue: fix subtle pool management issue which can stall whole worker_poolTejun Heo2015-01-161-17/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A worker_pool's forward progress is guaranteed by the fact that the last idle worker assumes the manager role to create more workers and summon the rescuers if creating workers doesn't succeed in timely manner before proceeding to execute work items. This manager role is implemented in manage_workers(), which indicates whether the worker may proceed to work item execution with its return value. This is necessary because multiple workers may contend for the manager role, and, if there already is a manager, others should proceed to work item execution. Unfortunately, the function also indicates that the worker may proceed to work item execution if need_to_create_worker() is false at the head of the function. need_to_create_worker() tests the following conditions. pending work items && !nr_running && !nr_idle The first and third conditions are protected by pool->lock and thus won't change while holding pool->lock; however, nr_running can change asynchronously as other workers block and resume and while it's likely to be zero, as someone woke this worker up in the first place, some other workers could have become runnable inbetween making it non-zero. If this happens, manage_worker() could return false even with zero nr_idle making the worker, the last idle one, proceed to execute work items. If then all workers of the pool end up blocking on a resource which can only be released by a work item which is pending on that pool, the whole pool can deadlock as there's no one to create more workers or summon the rescuers. This patch fixes the problem by removing the early exit condition from maybe_create_worker() and making manage_workers() return false iff there's already another manager, which ensures that the last worker doesn't start executing work items. We can leave the early exit condition alone and just ignore the return value but the only reason it was put there is because the manage_workers() used to perform both creations and destructions of workers and thus the function may be invoked while the pool is trying to reduce the number of workers. Now that manage_workers() is called only when more workers are needed, the only case this early exit condition is triggered is rare race conditions rendering it pointless. Tested with simulated workload and modified workqueue code which trigger the pool deadlock reliably without this patch.

* workqueue: allow rescuer thread to do more work.NeilBrown2014-12-081-1/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When there is serious memory pressure, all workers in a pool could be blocked, and a new thread cannot be created because it requires memory allocation. In this situation a WQ_MEM_RECLAIM workqueue will wake up the rescuer thread to do some work. The rescuer will only handle requests that are already on ->worklist. If max_requests is 1, that means it will handle a single request. The rescuer will be woken again in 100ms to handle another max_requests requests. I've seen a machine (running a 3.0 based "enterprise" kernel) with thousands of requests queued for xfslogd, which has a max_requests of 1, and is needed for retiring all 'xfs' write requests. When one of the worker pools gets into this state, it progresses extremely slowly and possibly never recovers (only waited an hour or two). With this patch we leave a pool_workqueue on mayday list until it is clearly no longer in need of assistance. This allows all requests to be handled in a timely fashion. We keep each pool_workqueue on the mayday list until need_to_create_worker() is false, and no work for this workqueue is found in the pool. I have tested this in combination with a (hackish) patch which forces all work items to be handled by the rescuer thread. In that context it significantly improves performance. A similar patch for a 3.0 kernel significantly improved performance on a heavy work load. Thanks to Jan Kara for some design ideas, and to Dongsu Park for some comments and testing. tj: Inverted the lock order between wq_mayday_lock and pool->lock with a preceding patch and simplified this patch.

| * | workqueue: move rescuer pool detachment to the endLai Jiangshan2014-07-221-8/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In 51697d393922 ("workqueue: use generic attach/detach routine for rescuers"), The rescuer detaches itself from the pool before put_pwq() so that the put_unbound_pool() will not destroy the rescuer-attached pool. It is unnecessary. worker_detach_from_pool() can be used as the last statement to access to the pool just like the regular workers, put_unbound_pool() will wait for it to detach and then free the pool. So we move the worker_detach_from_pool() down, make it coincide with the regular workers. tj: Minor description update.

| * | workqueue: unfold start_worker() into create_worker()Lai Jiangshan2014-07-221-57/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Simply unfold the code of start_worker() into create_worker() and remove the original start_worker() and create_and_start_worker(). The only trade-off is the introduced overhead that the pool->lock is released and regrabbed after the newly worker is started. The overhead is acceptible since the manager is slow path. And because this new locking behavior, the newly created worker may grab the lock earlier than the manager and go to process work items. In this case, the recheck need_to_create_worker() may be true as expected and the manager goes to restart which is the correct behavior. tj: Minor updates to description and comments.

| * | workqueue: remove @wakeup from worker_set_flags()Lai Jiangshan2014-07-221-22/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | worker_set_flags() has only two callers, each specifying %true and %false for @wakeup. Let's push the wake up to the caller and remove @wakeup from worker_set_flags(). The caller can use the following instead if wakeup is necessary: worker_set_flags(); if (need_more_worker(pool)) wake_up_worker(pool); This makes the code simpler. This patch doesn't introduce behavior changes. tj: Updated description and comments. Signed-off-by: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
| * | workqueue: remove an unneeded UNBOUND test before waking up the next workerLai Jiangshan2014-07-221-3/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In process_one_work(): if ((worker->flags & WORKER_UNBOUND) && need_more_worker(pool)) wake_up_worker(pool); the first test is unneeded. Even if the first test is removed, it doesn't affect the wake-up logic for WORKER_UNBOUND, and it will not introduce any useless wake-ups for normal per-cpu workers since nr_running is always >= 1. It will introduce useless/redundant wake-ups for CPU_INTENSIVE, but this case is rare and the next patch will also remove this redundant wake-up. tj: Minor updates to the description and comment.

| * | workqueue: wake regular worker if need_more_worker() when rescuer leave the poolLai Jiangshan2014-07-181-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We don't need to wake up regular worker when nr_running==1, so need_more_worker() is sufficient here. And need_more_worker() gives us better readability due to the name of "keep_working()" implies the rescuer should keep working now but the rescuer is actually leaving.
