-		     SLOW WORK ITEM EXECUTION THREAD POOL
-		     ====================================
-
-By: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
-
-The slow work item execution thread pool is a pool of threads for performing
-things that take a relatively long time, such as making mkdir calls.
-Typically, when processing something, these items will spend a lot of time
-blocking a thread on I/O, thus making that thread unavailable for doing other
-work.
-
-The standard workqueue model is unsuitable for this class of work item as that
-limits the owner to a single thread or a single thread per CPU.  For some
-tasks, however, more threads - or fewer - are required.
-
-There is just one pool per system.  It contains no threads unless something
-wants to use it - and that something must register its interest first.  When
-the pool is active, the number of threads it contains is dynamic, varying
-between a maximum and minimum setting, depending on the load.
-
-
-====================
-CLASSES OF WORK ITEM
-====================
-
-This pool support two classes of work items:
-
- (*) Slow work items.
-
- (*) Very slow work items.
-
-The former are expected to finish much quicker than the latter.
-
-An operation of the very slow class may do a batch combination of several
-lookups, mkdirs, and a create for instance.
-
-An operation of the ordinarily slow class may, for example, write stuff or
-expand files, provided the time taken to do so isn't too long.
-
-Operations of both types may sleep during execution, thus tying up the thread
-loaned to it.
-
-A further class of work item is available, based on the slow work item class:
-
- (*) Delayed slow work items.
-
-These are slow work items that have a timer to defer queueing of the item for
-a while.
-
-
-THREAD-TO-CLASS ALLOCATION
---------------------------
-
-Not all the threads in the pool are available to work on very slow work items.
-The number will be between one and one fewer than the number of active threads.
-This is configurable (see the "Pool Configuration" section).
-
-All the threads are available to work on ordinarily slow work items, but a
-percentage of the threads will prefer to work on very slow work items.
-
-The configuration ensures that at least one thread will be available to work on
-very slow work items, and at least one thread will be available that won't work
-on very slow work items at all.
-
-
-=====================
-USING SLOW WORK ITEMS
-=====================
-
-Firstly, a module or subsystem wanting to make use of slow work items must
-register its interest:
-
-	 int ret = slow_work_register_user(struct module *module);
-
-This will return 0 if successful, or a -ve error upon failure.  The module
-pointer should be the module interested in using this facility (almost
-certainly THIS_MODULE).
-
-
-Slow work items may then be set up by:
-
- (1) Declaring a slow_work struct type variable:
-
-	#include <linux/slow-work.h>
-
-	struct slow_work myitem;
-
- (2) Declaring the operations to be used for this item:
-
-	struct slow_work_ops myitem_ops = {
-		.get_ref = myitem_get_ref,
-		.put_ref = myitem_put_ref,
-		.execute = myitem_execute,
-	};
-
-     [*] For a description of the ops, see section "Item Operations".
-
- (3) Initialising the item:
-
-	slow_work_init(&myitem, &myitem_ops);
-
-     or:
-
-	delayed_slow_work_init(&myitem, &myitem_ops);
-
-     or:
-
-	vslow_work_init(&myitem, &myitem_ops);
-
-     depending on its class.
-
-A suitably set up work item can then be enqueued for processing:
-
-	int ret = slow_work_enqueue(&myitem);
-
-This will return a -ve error if the thread pool is unable to gain a reference
-on the item, 0 otherwise, or (for delayed work):
-
-	int ret = delayed_slow_work_enqueue(&myitem, my_jiffy_delay);
-
-
-The items are reference counted, so there ought to be no need for a flush
-operation.  But as the reference counting is optional, means to cancel
-existing work items are also included:
-
-	cancel_slow_work(&myitem);
-	cancel_delayed_slow_work(&myitem);
-
-can be used to cancel pending work.  The above cancel function waits for
-existing work to have been executed (or prevent execution of them, depending
-on timing).
-
-
-When all a module's slow work items have been processed, and the
-module has no further interest in the facility, it should unregister its
-interest:
-
-	slow_work_unregister_user(struct module *module);
-
-The module pointer is used to wait for all outstanding work items for that
-module before completing the unregistration.  This prevents the put_ref() code
-from being taken away before it completes.  module should almost certainly be
-THIS_MODULE.
-
-
-================
-HELPER FUNCTIONS
-================
-
-The slow-work facility provides a function by which it can be determined
-whether or not an item is queued for later execution:
-
-	bool queued = slow_work_is_queued(struct slow_work *work);
-
-If it returns false, then the item is not on the queue (it may be executing
-with a requeue pending).  This can be used to work out whether an item on which
-another depends is on the queue, thus allowing a dependent item to be queued
-after it.
-
-If the above shows an item on which another depends not to be queued, then the
-owner of the dependent item might need to wait.  However, to avoid locking up
-the threads unnecessarily be sleeping in them, it can make sense under some
-circumstances to return the work item to the queue, thus deferring it until
-some other items have had a chance to make use of the yielded thread.
-
-To yield a thread and defer an item, the work function should simply enqueue
-the work item again and return.  However, this doesn't work if there's nothing
-actually on the queue, as the thread just vacated will jump straight back into
-the item's work function, thus busy waiting on a CPU.
-
-Instead, the item should use the thread to wait for the dependency to go away,
-but rather than using schedule() or schedule_timeout() to sleep, it should use
-the following function:
-
-	bool requeue = slow_work_sleep_till_thread_needed(
-			struct slow_work *work,
-			signed long *_timeout);
-
-This will add a second wait and then sleep, such that it will be woken up if
-either something appears on the queue that could usefully make use of the
-thread - and behind which this item can be queued, or if the event the caller
-set up to wait for happens.  True will be returned if something else appeared
-on the queue and this work function should perhaps return, of false if
-something else woke it up.  The timeout is as for schedule_timeout().
-
-For example:
-
-	wq = bit_waitqueue(&my_flags, MY_BIT);
-	init_wait(&wait);
-	requeue = false;
-	do {
-		prepare_to_wait(wq, &wait, TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE);
-		if (!test_bit(MY_BIT, &my_flags))
-			break;
-		requeue = slow_work_sleep_till_thread_needed(&my_work,
-							     &timeout);
-	} while (timeout > 0 && !requeue);
-	finish_wait(wq, &wait);
-	if (!test_bit(MY_BIT, &my_flags)
-		goto do_my_thing;
-	if (requeue)
-		return; // to slow_work
-
-
-===============
-ITEM OPERATIONS
-===============
-
-Each work item requires a table of operations of type struct slow_work_ops.
-Only ->execute() is required; the getting and putting of a reference and the
-describing of an item are all optional.
-
- (*) Get a reference on an item:
-
-	int (*get_ref)(struct slow_work *work);
-
-     This allows the thread pool to attempt to pin an item by getting a
-     reference on it.  This function should return 0 if the reference was
-     granted, or a -ve error otherwise.  If an error is returned,
-     slow_work_enqueue() will fail.
-
-     The reference is held whilst the item is queued and whilst it is being
-     executed.  The item may then be requeued with the same reference held, or
-     the reference will be released.
-
- (*) Release a reference on an item:
-
-	void (*put_ref)(struct slow_work *work);
-
-     This allows the thread pool to unpin an item by releasing the reference on
-     it.  The thread pool will not touch the item again once this has been
-     called.
-
- (*) Execute an item:
-
-	void (*execute)(struct slow_work *work);
-
-     This should perform the work required of the item.  It may sleep, it may
-     perform disk I/O and it may wait for locks.
-
- (*) View an item through /proc:
-
-	void (*desc)(struct slow_work *work, struct seq_file *m);
-
-     If supplied, this should print to 'm' a small string describing the work
-     the item is to do.  This should be no more than about 40 characters, and
-     shouldn't include a newline character.
-
-     See the 'Viewing executing and queued items' section below.
-
-
-==================
-POOL CONFIGURATION
-==================
-
-The slow-work thread pool has a number of configurables:
-
- (*) /proc/sys/kernel/slow-work/min-threads
-
-     The minimum number of threads that should be in the pool whilst it is in
-     use.  This may be anywhere between 2 and max-threads.
-
- (*) /proc/sys/kernel/slow-work/max-threads
-
-     The maximum number of threads that should in the pool.  This may be
-     anywhere between min-threads and 255 or NR_CPUS * 2, whichever is greater.
-
- (*) /proc/sys/kernel/slow-work/vslow-percentage
-
-     The percentage of active threads in the pool that may be used to execute
-     very slow work items.  This may be between 1 and 99.  The resultant number
-     is bounded to between 1 and one fewer than the number of active threads.
-     This ensures there is always at least one thread that can process very
-     slow work items, and always at least one thread that won't.
-
-
-==================================
-VIEWING EXECUTING AND QUEUED ITEMS
-==================================
-
-If CONFIG_SLOW_WORK_DEBUG is enabled, a debugfs file is made available:
-
-	/sys/kernel/debug/slow_work/runqueue
-
-through which the list of work items being executed and the queues of items to
-be executed may be viewed.  The owner of a work item is given the chance to
-add some information of its own.
-
-The contents look something like the following:
-
-    THR PID   ITEM ADDR        FL MARK  DESC

-In the 'THR' column, executing items show the thread they're occupying and
-queued threads indicate which queue they're on.  'PID' shows the process ID of
-a slow-work thread that's executing something.  'FL' shows the work item flags.
-'MARK' indicates how long since an item was queued or began executing.  Lastly,
-the 'DESC' column permits the owner of an item to give some information.

+ * difficult to implement without impacting hot paths.  Secondly,

+ * START	Command state used on startup.  On CPU_DOWN_PREPARE, a

+ * IN_CHARGE	Once started, trustee will enter this state after
+ *		assuming the manager role and making all existing
+ *		workers rogue.  DOWN_PREPARE waits for trustee to
+ *		enter this state.  After reaching IN_CHARGE, trustee
+ *		tries to execute the pending worklist until it's empty
+ *		and the state is set to BUTCHER, or the state is set
+ *		to RELEASE.
+ *
+ * BUTCHER	Command state which is set by the cpu callback after
+ *		the cpu has went down.  Once this state is set trustee
+ *		knows that there will be no new works on the worklist
+ *		and once the worklist is empty it can proceed to
+ *		killing idle workers.
+ *
+ * RELEASE	Command state which is set by the cpu callback if the
+ *		cpu down has been canceled or it has come online
+ *		again.  After recognizing this state, trustee stops
+ *		trying to drain or butcher and clears ROGUE, rebinds
+ *		all remaining workers back to the cpu and releases
+ *		manager role.
