This is done to avoid wakeups on potentially idle CPUs. This is wrong in several aspects: 1) The heuristics to select the target CPU are wrong by definition as the chance to get the prediction right is close to zero. 2) Due to #1 it is possible that timers are accumulated on a single target CPU 3) The required computation in the enqueue path is just overhead for dubious value especially under the consideration that the vast majority of timer wheel timers are either canceled or rearmed before they expire. The timer pull model avoids the above by removing the target computation on enqueue and queueing timers always on the CPU on which they get armed. This is achieved by having separate wheels for CPU pinned timers and global timers which do not care about where they expire. As long as a CPU is busy it handles both the pinned and the global timers which are queued on the CPU local timer wheels. When a CPU goes idle it evaluates its own timer wheels: - If the first expiring timer is a pinned timer, then the global timers can be ignored as the CPU will wake up before they expire. - If the first expiring timer is a global timer, then the expiry time is propagated into the timer pull hierarchy and the CPU makes sure to wake up for the first pinned timer. The timer pull hierarchy organizes CPUs in groups of eight at the lowest level and at the next levels groups of eight groups up to the point where no further aggregation of groups is required, i.e. the number of levels is log8(NR_CPUS). The magic number of eight has been established by experimention, but can be adjusted if needed. In each group one busy CPU acts as the migrator. It's only one CPU to avoid lock contention on remote timer wheels. The migrator CPU checks in its own timer wheel handling whether there are other CPUs in the group which have gone idle and have global timers to expire. If there are global timers to expire, the migrator locks the remote CPU timer wheel and handles the expiry. Depending on the group level in the hierarchy this handling can require to walk the hierarchy downwards to the CPU level. Special care is taken when the last CPU goes idle. At this point the CPU is the systemwide migrator at the top of the hierarchy and it therefore cannot delegate to the hierarchy. It needs to arm its own timer device to expire either at the first expiring timer in the hierarchy or at the first CPU local timer, which ever expires first. This completely removes the overhead from the enqueue path, which is e.g. for networking a true hotpath and trades it for a slightly more complex idle path. This has been in development for a couple of years and the final series has been extensively tested by various teams from silicon vendors and ran through extensive CI. There have been slight performance improvements observed on network centric workloads and an Intel team confirmed that this allows them to power down a die completely on a mult-die socket for the first time in a mostly idle scenario. There is only one outstanding ~1.5% regression on a specific overloaded netperf test which is currently investigated, but the rest is either positive or neutral performance wise and positive on the power management side. - Fixes for the timekeeping interpolation code for cross-timestamps: cross-timestamps are used for PTP to get snapshots from hardware timers and interpolated them back to clock MONOTONIC. The changes address a few corner cases in the interpolation code which got the math and logic wrong. - Simplifcation of the clocksource watchdog retry logic to automatically adjust to handle larger systems correctly instead of having more incomprehensible command line parameters. - Treewide consolidation of the VDSO data structures. - The usual small improvements and cleanups all over the place" * tag 'timers-core-2024-03-10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (62 commits) timer/migration: Fix quick check reporting late expiry tick/sched: Fix build failure for CONFIG_NO_HZ_COMMON=n vdso/datapage: Quick fix - use asm/page-def.h for ARM64 timers: Assert no next dyntick timer look-up while CPU is offline tick: Assume timekeeping is correctly handed over upon last offline idle call tick: Shut down low-res tick from dying CPU tick: Split nohz and highres features from nohz_mode tick: Move individual bit features to debuggable mask accesses tick: Move got_idle_tick away from common flags tick: Assume the tick can't be stopped in NOHZ_MODE_INACTIVE mode tick: Move broadcast cancellation up to CPUHP_AP_TICK_DYING tick: Move tick cancellation up to CPUHP_AP_TICK_DYING tick: Start centralizing tick related CPU hotplug operations tick/sched: Don't clear ts::next_tick again in can_stop_idle_tick() tick/sched: Rename tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() to tick_nohz_full_stop_tick() tick: Use IS_ENABLED() whenever possible tick/sched: Remove useless oneshot ifdeffery tick/nohz: Remove duplicate between lowres and highres handlers tick/nohz: Remove duplicate between tick_nohz_switch_to_nohz() and tick_setup_sched_timer() hrtimer: Select housekeeping CPU during migration ...
| * | | workqueue: Use global variant for add_timer()Anna-Maria Behnsen2024-02-221-1/+1
| | |/ | |/| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The implementation of the NOHZ pull at expiry model will change the timer bases per CPU. Timers, that have to expire on a specific CPU, require the TIMER_PINNED flag. If the CPU doesn't matter, the TIMER_PINNED flag must be dropped. This is required for call sites which use the timer alternately as pinned and not pinned timer like workqueues do. Therefore use add_timer_global() in __queue_delayed_work() for non-bound delayed work to make sure the TIMER_PINNED flag is dropped.

* | | workqueue: Drain BH work items on hot-unplugged CPUsTejun Heo2024-02-291-3/+88

Unlike tasklet which transfers out the pending tasks from CPUHP_SOFTIRQ_DEAD, BH workqueue would just leave them pending which is problematic. Note that this behavior is specific to BH workqueues as the non-BH per-CPU workers just become unbound when the CPU goes offline. This patch fixes the issue by draining the pending BH work items from an offlined CPU from CPUHP_SOFTIRQ_DEAD. Because work items carry more context, it's not as easy to transfer the pending work items from one pool to another. Instead, run BH work items which execute the offlined pools on an online CPU. Note that this assumes that no further BH work items will be queued on the offlined CPUs. This assumption is shared with tasklet and should be fine for conversions. However, this issue also exists for per-CPU workqueues which will just keep executing work items queued after CPU offline on unbound workers and workqueue should reject per-CPU and BH work items queued on offline CPUs. This will be addressed separately later.

And now, only when the violate times exceed 4 and is a power of 2, the kernel warning could be triggered. However, sometimes, even if a long work execution time occurs only once, it may cause other work to be delayed for a long time. This may also cause some problems sometimes. In order to freely control the threshold of warninging, a boot argument is added so that the user can control the warning threshold to be printed. At the same time, keep the exponential backoff to prevent reporting too much. By default, the warning threshold is 4. tj: Updated kernel-parameters.txt description.

Fix build by making workqueue use irq_work only when CONFIG_SMP and enabling CONFIG_IRQ_WORK when CONFIG_SMP is set. It's reasonable to argue that it may be better to just always enable it. However, this still saves a small bit of memory for tiny UP configs and also the least amount of change, so, for now, let's keep it conditional.

The reason why apply_workqueue_attrs() path was allowed to do so was because it was targeting the specific workqueue - either the workqueue had WQ_SYSFS set or the workqueue user specifically tried to change max_active, both of which indicate that the workqueue doesn't need to be ordered. The implicitly ordered workqueue promotion was removed by the previous commit 3bc1e711c26b ("workqueue: Don't implicitly make UNBOUND workqueues w/ @max_active==1 ordered"). However, it didn't update this path and broke build. Let's revert the commit which was incorrect in the first place which also fixes build.

These problems can be subtle and the fact that they can only trigger on NUMA machines made them even more difficult to debug. However, overloading the UNBOUND allocation interface this way creates other issues. It's difficult to tell whether a given workqueue actually needs to be ordered and users that legitimately want a min concurrency level wq unexpectedly gets an ordered one instead. With planned UNBOUND workqueue udpates to improve execution locality and more prevalence of chiplet designs which can benefit from such improvements, this isn't a state we wanna be in forever. There aren't that many UNBOUND w/ @max_active==1 users in the tree and the preceding patches audited all and converted them to alloc_ordered_workqueue() as appropriate. This patch removes the implicit promotion of UNBOUND w/ @max_active==1 workqueues to ordered ones. v2: v1 patch incorrectly dropped !list_empty(&wq->pwqs) condition in apply_workqueue_attrs_locked() which spuriously triggers WARNING and fails workqueue creation.

* | workqueue: Implement BH workqueues to eventually replace taskletsTejun Heo2024-02-041-53/+238
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The only generic interface to execute asynchronously in the BH context is tasklet; however, it's marked deprecated and has some design flaws such as the execution code accessing the tasklet item after the execution is complete which can lead to subtle use-after-free in certain usage scenarios and less-developed flush and cancel mechanisms. This patch implements BH workqueues which share the same semantics and features of regular workqueues but execute their work items in the softirq context. As there is always only one BH execution context per CPU, none of the concurrency management mechanisms applies and a BH workqueue can be thought of as a convenience wrapper around softirq. Except for the inability to sleep while executing and lack of max_active adjustments, BH workqueues and work items should behave the same as regular workqueues and work items. Currently, the execution is hooked to tasklet[_hi]. However, the goal is to convert all tasklet users over to BH workqueues. Once the conversion is complete, tasklet can be removed and BH workqueues can directly take over the tasklet softirqs. system_bh[_highpri]_wq are added. As queue-wide flushing doesn't exist in tasklet, all existing tasklet users should be able to use the system BH workqueues without creating their own workqueues. v3: - Add missing interrupt.h include. v2: - Instead of using tasklets, hook directly into its softirq action functions - tasklet[_hi]_action(). This is slightly cheaper and closer to the eventual code structure we want to arrive at. Suggested by Lai. - Lai also pointed out several places which need NULL worker->task handling or can use clarification. Updated.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When __queue_delayed_work() is called, it chooses a cpu for handling the timer interrupt. As of today, it will pick either the cpu passed as parameter or the last cpu used for this. This is not good if a system does use CPU isolation, because it can take away some valuable cpu time to: 1 - deal with the timer interrupt, 2 - schedule-out the desired task, 3 - queue work on a random workqueue, and 4 - schedule the desired task back to the cpu. So to fix this, during __queue_delayed_work(), if cpu isolation is in place, pick a random non-isolated cpu to handle the timer interrupt. As an optimization, if the current cpu is not isolated, use it instead of looking for another candidate. Signed-off-by: Leonardo Bras <leobras@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

One of the roles that a pwq plays is enforcement of the max_active concurrency limit. Before 636b927eba5b ("workqueue: Make unbound workqueues to use per-cpu pool_workqueues"), there was one pwq per each CPU for per-cpu workqueues and per each NUMA node for unbound workqueues, which was a natural result of per-cpu workqueues being served by per-cpu pools and unbound by per-NUMA pools. In terms of max_active enforcement, this was, while not perfect, workable. For per-cpu workqueues, it was fine. For unbound, it wasn't great in that NUMA machines would get max_active that's multiplied by the number of nodes but didn't cause huge problems because NUMA machines are relatively rare and the node count is usually pretty low. However, cache layouts are more complex now and sharing a worker pool across a whole node didn't really work well for unbound workqueues. Thus, a series of commits culminating on 8639ecebc9b1 ("workqueue: Make unbound workqueues to use per-cpu pool_workqueues") implemented more flexible affinity mechanism for unbound workqueues which enables using e.g. last-level-cache aligned pools. In the process, 636b927eba5b ("workqueue: Make unbound workqueues to use per-cpu pool_workqueues") made unbound workqueues use per-cpu pwqs like per-cpu workqueues. While the change was necessary to enable more flexible affinity scopes, this came with the side effect of blowing up the effective max_active for unbound workqueues. Before, the effective max_active for unbound workqueues was multiplied by the number of nodes. After, by the number of CPUs. 636b927eba5b ("workqueue: Make unbound workqueues to use per-cpu pool_workqueues") claims that this should generally be okay. It is okay for users which self-regulates concurrency level which are the vast majority; however, there are enough use cases which actually depend on max_active to prevent the level of concurrency from going bonkers including several IO handling workqueues that can issue a work item for each in-flight IO. With targeted benchmarks, the misbehavior can easily be exposed as reported in http://lkml.kernel.org/r/dbu6wiwu3sdhmhikb2w6lns7b27gbobfavhjj57kwi2quafgwl@htjcc5oikcr3. Unfortunately, there is no way to express what these use cases need using per-cpu max_active. A CPU may issue most of in-flight IOs, so we don't want to set max_active too low but as soon as we increase max_active a bit, we can end up with unreasonable number of in-flight work items when many CPUs issue IOs at the same time. ie. The acceptable lowest max_active is higher than the acceptable highest max_active. Ideally, max_active for an unbound workqueue should be system-wide so that the users can regulate the total level of concurrency regardless of node and cache layout. The reasons workqueue hasn't implemented that yet are: - One max_active enforcement decouples from pool boundaires, chaining execution after a work item finishes requires inter-pool operations which would require lock dancing, which is nasty. - Sharing a single nr_active count across the whole system can be pretty expensive on NUMA machines. - Per-pwq enforcement had been more or less okay while we were using per-node pools. It looks like we no longer can avoid decoupling max_active enforcement from pool boundaries. This patch implements system-wide nr_active mechanism with the following design characteristics: - To avoid sharing a single counter across multiple nodes, the configured max_active is split across nodes according to the proportion of each workqueue's online effective CPUs per node. e.g. A node with twice more online effective CPUs will get twice higher portion of max_active. - Workqueue used to be able to process a chain of interdependent work items which is as long as max_active. We can't do this anymore as max_active is distributed across the nodes. Instead, a new parameter min_active is introduced which determines the minimum level of concurrency within a node regardless of how max_active distribution comes out to be. It is set to the smaller of max_active and WQ_DFL_MIN_ACTIVE which is 8. This can lead to higher effective max_weight than configured and also deadlocks if a workqueue was depending on being able to handle chains of interdependent work items that are longer than 8. I believe these should be fine given that the number of CPUs in each NUMA node is usually higher than 8 and work item chain longer than 8 is pretty unlikely. However, if these assumptions turn out to be wrong, we'll need to add an interface to adjust min_active. - Each unbound wq has an array of struct wq_node_nr_active which tracks per-node nr_active. When its pwq wants to run a work item, it has to obtain the matching node's nr_active. If over the node's max_active, the pwq is queued on wq_node_nr_active->pending_pwqs. As work items finish, the completion path round-robins the pending pwqs activating the first inactive work item of each, which involves some pool lock dancing and kicking other pools. It's not the simplest code but doesn't look too bad. v4: - wq_adjust_max_active() updated to invoke wq_update_node_max_active(). - wq_adjust_max_active() is now protected by wq->mutex instead of wq_pool_mutex. v3: - wq_node_max_active() used to calculate per-node max_active on the fly based on system-wide CPU online states. Lai pointed out that this can lead to skewed distributions for workqueues with restricted cpumasks. Update the max_active distribution to use per-workqueue effective online CPU counts instead of system-wide and cache the calculation results in node_nr_active->max. v2: - wq->min/max_active now uses WRITE/READ_ONCE() as suggested by Lai.

The change for unbound workqueues was a significant departure from the previous behavior of per-node application. It made some use cases create undesirable number of concurrent work items and left no good way of fixing them. To address the problem, workqueue is implementing a NUMA node segmented global nr_active mechanism, which will be explained further in the next patch. As a preparation, this patch introduces struct wq_node_nr_active. It's a data structured allocated for each workqueue and NUMA node pair and currently only tracks the workqueue's number of active work items on the node. This is split out from the next patch to make it easier to understand and review. Note that there is an extra wq_node_nr_active allocated for the invalid node nr_node_ids which is used to track nr_active for pools which don't have NUMA node associated such as the default fallback system-wide pool. This doesn't cause any behavior changes visible to userland yet. The next patch will expand to implement the control mechanism on top. v4: - Fixed out-of-bound access when freeing per-cpu workqueues. v3: - Use flexible array for wq->node_nr_active as suggested by Lai. v2: - wq->max_active now uses WRITE/READ_ONCE() as suggested by Lai. - Lai pointed out that pwq_tryinc_nr_active() incorrectly dropped pwq->max_active check. Restored. As the next patch replaces the max_active enforcement mechanism, this doesn't change the end result.

While the activation ordering changes, this shouldn't cause user-noticeable behavior changes. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Lai Jiangshan <jiangshanlai@gmail.com>
* | workqueue: Move nr_active handling into helpersTejun Heo2024-01-291-19/+67
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | __queue_work(), pwq_dec_nr_in_flight() and wq_adjust_max_active() were open-coding nr_active handling, which is fine given that the operations are trivial. However, the planned unbound nr_active update will make them more complicated, so let's move them into helpers. - pwq_tryinc_nr_active() is added. It increments nr_active if under max_active limit and return a boolean indicating whether inc was successful. Note that the function is structured to accommodate future changes. __queue_work() is updated to use the new helper. - pwq_activate_first_inactive() is updated to use pwq_tryinc_nr_active() and thus no longer assumes that nr_active is under max_active and returns a boolean to indicate whether a work item has been activated. - wq_adjust_max_active() no longer tests directly whether a work item can be activated. Instead, it's updated to use the return value of pwq_activate_first_inactive() to tell whether a work item has been activated. - nr_active decrement and activating the first inactive work item is factored into pwq_dec_nr_active(). v3: - WARN_ON_ONCE(!WORK_STRUCT_INACTIVE) added to __pwq_activate_work() as now we're calling the function unconditionally from pwq_activate_first_inactive(). v2: - wq->max_active now uses WRITE/READ_ONCE() as suggested by Lai.

* | workqueue: Replace pwq_activate_inactive_work() with [__]pwq_activate_work()Tejun Heo2024-01-291-6/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To prepare for unbound nr_active handling improvements, move work activation part of pwq_activate_inactive_work() into __pwq_activate_work() and add pwq_activate_work() which tests WORK_STRUCT_INACTIVE and updates nr_active. pwq_activate_first_inactive() and try_to_grab_pending() are updated to use pwq_activate_work(). The latter conversion is functionally identical. For the former, this conversion adds an unnecessary WORK_STRUCT_INACTIVE testing. This is temporary and will be removed by the next patch.

* | workqueue: Move pwq->max_active to wq->max_activeTejun Heo2024-01-291-67/+66
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | max_active is a workqueue-wide setting and the configured value is stored in wq->saved_max_active; however, the effective value was stored in pwq->max_active. While this is harmless, it makes max_active update process more complicated and gets in the way of the planned max_active semantic updates for unbound workqueues. This patches moves pwq->max_active to wq->max_active. This simplifies the code and makes freezing and noop max_active updates cheaper too. No user-visible behavior change is intended. As wq->max_active is updated while holding wq mutex but read without any locking, it now uses WRITE/READ_ONCE(). A new locking locking rule WO is added for it. v2: wq->max_active now uses WRITE/READ_ONCE() as suggested by Lai.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After creating a new worker, create_worker() is calling kick_pool() to wake up the new worker task. However, as kick_pool() doesn't do anything if there is no work pending, it also calls wake_up_process() explicitly. There's no reason to call kick_pool() at all. wake_up_process() is enough by itself. Drop the unnecessary kick_pool() call. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
