* | rcu: Make rcutorture's shuffler task shuffle recently added tasksPaul E. McKenney2013-01-281-4/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A number of kthreads have been added to rcutorture, but the shuffler task was not informed of them, and thus did not shuffle them. This commit therefore adds the requisite shuffling, and, while in the area fixes up some whitespace issues. However, the shuffling is intended to keep randomly selected CPUs idle, which means that the RCU priority boosting kthreads need to avoid waking up every jiffy. This commit also makes that fix.

* | rcu: Reduce rcutorture tracingPaul E. McKenney2013-01-081-7/+24
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, rcutorture traces every read-side access. This can be problematic because even a two-minute rcutorture run on a two-CPU system can generate 28,853,363 reads. Normally, only a failing read is of interest, so this commit traces adjusts rcutorture's tracing to only trace failing reads. The resulting event tracing records the time and the ->completed value captured at the beginning of the RCU read-side critical section, allowing correlation with other event-tracing messages.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The child threads in the rcu_torture_barrier_cbs() are improperly synchronized, which can cause the rcu_barrier() tests to hang. The failure mode is as follows: 1. CPU 0 running in rcu_torture_barrier() sets barrier_cbs_count to n_barrier_cbs. 2. CPU 1 running in rcu_torture_barrier_cbs() wakes up, posts its RCU callback, and atomically decrements barrier_cbs_count. Because barrier_cbs_count is not zero, it does not do the wake_up(). 3. CPU 2 running in rcu_torture_barrier_cbs() wakes up, but finds that barrier_cbs_count is not equal to n_barrier_cbs, and so returns to sleep. 4. The value of barrier_cbs_count therefore never reaches zero, which causes the test to hang. This commit therefore uses a phase variable to coordinate the test, preventing this scenario from occurring. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paul.mckenney@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

* rcu: Direct algorithmic SRCU implementationPaul E. McKenney2012-04-301-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current implementation of synchronize_srcu_expedited() can cause severe OS jitter due to its use of synchronize_sched(), which in turn invokes try_stop_cpus(), which causes each CPU to be sent an IPI. This can result in severe performance degradation for real-time workloads and especially for short-interation-length HPC workloads. Furthermore, because only one instance of try_stop_cpus() can be making forward progress at a given time, only one instance of synchronize_srcu_expedited() can make forward progress at a time, even if they are all operating on distinct srcu_struct structures. This commit, inspired by an earlier implementation by Peter Zijlstra (https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/31/211) and by further offline discussions, takes a strictly algorithmic bits-in-memory approach. This has the disadvantage of requiring one explicit memory-barrier instruction in each of srcu_read_lock() and srcu_read_unlock(), but on the other hand completely dispenses with OS jitter and furthermore allows SRCU to be used freely by CPUs that RCU believes to be idle or offline. The update-side implementation handles the single read-side memory barrier by rechecking the per-CPU counters after summing them and by running through the update-side state machine twice. This implementation has passed moderate rcutorture testing on both x86 and Power. Also updated to use this_cpu_ptr() instead of per_cpu_ptr(), as suggested by Peter Zijlstra.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The rcutorture test now can automatically exercise CPU hotplug and collect success statistics, which can be correlated with other rcutorture activity. This permits rcutorture to completely exercise RCU regardless of what sort of userspace and filesystem layout is in use. Unfortunately, rcutorture is happy to attempt to offline CPUs that cannot be offlined, for example, CPU 0 in both the x86 and ARM architectures. Although this allows rcutorture testing to proceed normally, it confounds attempts at error analysis due to the resulting flood of spurious CPU-hotplug errors. Therefore, this commit uses the new cpu_is_hotpluggable() function to avoid attempting to offline CPUs that are not hotpluggable, which in turn avoids spurious CPU-hotplug errors.

* rcu: Catch rcutorture up to new RCU API additionsPaul E. McKenney2011-09-281-34/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that the RCU API contains synchronize_rcu_bh(), synchronize_sched(), call_rcu_sched(), and rcu_bh_expedited()... Make rcutorture test synchronize_rcu_bh(), getting rid of the old rcu_bh_torture_synchronize() workaround. Similarly, make rcutorture test synchronize_sched(), getting rid of the old sched_torture_synchronize() workaround. Make rcutorture test call_rcu_sched() instead of wrappering synchronize_sched(). Also add testing of rcu_bh_expedited(). Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
* rcu: Use kthread_create_on_node()Eric Dumazet2011-09-281-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit a26ac2455ffc (move TREE_RCU from softirq to kthread) added per-CPU kthreads. However, kthread creation uses kthread_create(), which can put the kthread's stack and task struct on the wrong NUMA node. Therefore, use kthread_create_on_node() instead of kthread_create() so that the stacks and task structs are placed on the correct NUMA node. A similar change was carried out in commit 94dcf29a11b3 (kthread: use kthread_create_on_node()). Also change rcutorture's priority-boost-test kthread creation.

* rcu: mark rcutorture boosting callback as being on-stackPaul E. McKenney2011-05-051-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | The CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_RCU_HEAD facility requires that on-stack RCU callbacks be flagged explicitly to debug-objects using the init_rcu_head_on_stack() and destroy_rcu_head_on_stack() functions. This commit applies those functions to the rcutorture code that tests RCU priority boosting. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paul.mckenney@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E.
