* rcu: Fix accelerated grace periods for last non-dynticked CPUPaul E. McKenney2010-02-271-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is invalid to invoke __rcu_process_callbacks() with irqs disabled, so do it indirectly via raise_softirq(). This requires a state-machine implementation to cycle through the grace-period machinery the required number of times. Located-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

* rcu: Make rcu_read_lock_sched_held() take boot time into accountPaul E. McKenney2010-02-261-19/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Before the scheduler starts, all tasks are non-preemptible by definition. So, during that time, rcu_read_lock_sched_held() needs to always return "true". This patch makes that be so. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When RCU detects a grace-period stall, it currently just prints out the PID of any tasks doing the stalling.

* rcu: Fix deadlock in TREE_PREEMPT_RCU CPU stall detectionPaul E. McKenney2010-02-251-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Under TREE_PREEMPT_RCU, print_other_cpu_stall() invokes rcu_print_task_stall() with the root rcu_node structure's ->lock held, and rcu_print_task_stall() acquires that same lock for self-deadlock. Fix this by removing the lock acquisition from rcu_print_task_stall(), and making all callers acquire the lock instead.

* rcu: Stop overflowing signed integersPaul E. McKenney2010-02-251-6/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The C standard does not specify the result of an operation that overflows a signed integer, so such operations need to be avoided. This patch changes the type of several fields from "long" to "unsigned long" and adjusts operations as needed. ULONG_CMP_GE() and ULONG_CMP_LT() macros are introduced to do the modular comparisons that are appropriate given that overflow is an expected event.

* rcu: Accelerate grace period if last non-dynticked CPUPaul E. McKenney2010-02-251-3/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, rcu_needs_cpu() simply checks whether the current CPU has an outstanding RCU callback, which means that the last CPU to go into dyntick-idle mode might wait a few ticks for the relevant grace periods to complete. However, if all the other CPUs are in dyntick-idle mode, and if this CPU is in a quiescent state (which it is for RCU-bh and RCU-sched any time that we are considering going into dyntick-idle mode), then the grace period is instantly complete. This patch therefore repeatedly invokes the RCU grace-period machinery in order to force any needed grace periods to complete quickly. It does so a limited number of times in order to prevent starvation by an RCU callback function that might pass itself to call_rcu(). However, if any CPU other than the current one is not in dyntick-idle mode, fall back to simply checking (with fix to bug noted by Lai Jiangshan). Also, take advantage of last grace-period forcing, the opportunity to do so noted by Steve Rostedt. And apply simplified #ifdef condition suggested by Frederic Weisbecker. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

* rcu: Give different levels of the rcu_node hierarchy distinct lockdep namesPaul E. McKenney2010-01-131-1/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, each level of the rcu_node hierarchy had the same rather unimaginative name: "&rcu_node_class[i]". This makes lockdep diagnostics involving these lockdep classes less helpful than would be nice. This patch fixes this by giving each level of the rcu_node hierarchy a distinct name: "rcu_node_level_0", "rcu_node_level_1", and so on.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Grace periods cannot be started while force_quiescent_state() is active. This is OK in that the affected CPUs will try again later, but it does induce needless grace-period delays. This patch causes rcu_start_gp() to record a failed attempt to start a grace period. When force_quiescent_state() prepares to return, it then starts the grace period if there was such a failed attempt. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

* rcu: Remove redundant grace-period checkPaul E. McKenney2010-01-131-5/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The rcu_process_dyntick() function checks twice for the end of the current grace period. However, it holds the current rcu_node structure's ->lock field throughout, and doesn't get to the second call to rcu_gp_in_progress() unless there is at least one CPU corresponding to this rcu_node structure that has not yet checked in for the current grace period, which would prevent the current grace period from ending. So the current grace period cannot have ended, and the second check is redundant, so remove it. Also, given that this function is used even with !CONFIG_NO_HZ, its name is quite misleading.

* rcu: Remove leg of force_quiescent_state() switch statementPaul E. McKenney2010-01-131-17/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The comparisons of rsp->gpnum nad rsp->completed in rcu_process_dyntick() and force_quiescent_state() can be replaced by the much more clear rcu_gp_in_progress() predicate function. After doing this, it becomes clear that the RCU_SAVE_COMPLETED leg of the force_quiescent_state() function's switch statement is almost completely a no-op. A small change to the RCU_SAVE_DYNTICK leg renders it a complete no-op, after which it can be removed. Doing so also eliminates the forcenow local variable from force_quiescent_state().

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Because a new grace period cannot start while we are executing within the force_quiescent_state() function's switch statement, if any test within that switch statement or within any function called from that switch statement shows that the current grace period has ended, we can safely re-do that test any time before we leave the switch statement. This means that we no longer need a return value from rcu_process_dyntick(), as we can simply invoke rcu_gp_in_progress() to check whether the old grace period has finished -- there is no longer any need to worry about whether or not a new grace period has been started.

* rcu: Rename "quiet" functionsPaul E. McKenney2009-12-031-29/+37
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The number of "quiet" functions has grown recently, and the names are no longer very descriptive. The point of all of these functions is to do some portion of the task of reporting a quiescent state, so rename them accordingly: o cpu_quiet() becomes rcu_report_qs_rdp(), which reports a quiescent state to the per-CPU rcu_data structure.

* rcu: Fix grace-period-stall bug on large systems with CPU hotplugPaul E. McKenney2009-11-221-19/+21

This requeuing is carried out by rcu_preempt_offline_tasks(). However, it is possible that these queued tasks are the only thing preventing the leaf rcu_node structure from reporting a quiescent state up the rcu_node hierarchy. Unfortunately, the old code would fail to do this reporting, resulting in a grace-period stall given the following sequence of events: 1. Kernel built for more than 32 CPUs on 32-bit systems or for more than 64 CPUs on 64-bit systems, so that there is more than one rcu_node structure. (Or CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT is artificially set to a number smaller than CONFIG_NR_CPUS.) 2. The kernel is built with CONFIG_TREE_PREEMPT_RCU. 3. A task running on a CPU associated with a given leaf rcu_node structure blocks while in an RCU read-side critical section -and- that CPU has not yet passed through a quiescent state for the current RCU grace period. This will cause the task to be queued on the leaf rcu_node's blocked_tasks[] array, in particular, on the element of this array corresponding to the current grace period. 4. Each of the remaining CPUs corresponding to this same leaf rcu_node structure pass through a quiescent state. However, the task is still in its RCU read-side critical section, so these quiescent states cannot be reported further up the rcu_node hierarchy. Nevertheless, all bits in the leaf rcu_node structure's ->qsmask field are now zero. 5. Each of the remaining CPUs go offline. (The events in step #4 and #5 can happen in any order as long as each CPU passes through a quiescent state before going offline.) 6. When the last CPU goes offline, __rcu_offline_cpu() will invoke rcu_preempt_offline_tasks(), which will move the task to the root rcu_node structure, but without reporting a quiescent state up the rcu_node hierarchy (and this failure to report a quiescent state is the bug). But because this leaf rcu_node structure's ->qsmask field is already zero and its ->block_tasks[] entries are all empty, force_quiescent_state() will skip this rcu_node structure. Therefore, grace periods are now hung. This patch abstracts some code out of rcu_read_unlock_special(), calling the result task_quiet() by analogy with cpu_quiet(), and invokes task_quiet() from both rcu_read_lock_special() and __rcu_offline_cpu(). Invoking task_quiet() from __rcu_offline_cpu() reports the quiescent state up the rcu_node hierarchy, fixing the bug. This ends up requiring a separate lock_class_key per level of the rcu_node hierarchy, which this patch also provides. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

Given the old comparison, __rcu_pending() could return 1, resulting in a needless raise_softirq(RCU_SOFTIRQ). This useless work would happen if RCU responded to a scheduling-clock interrupt after the rcu_state fields had been updated, but before the rcu_node fields had been updated.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | An earlier fix for a race resulted in a situation where the CPUs other than the CPU that detected the end of the grace period would not process their callbacks until the next grace period started. This means that these other CPUs would unnecessarily demand that an extra grace period be started.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The rdp->passed_quiesc_completed fields are used to properly associate the recorded quiescent state with a grace period. It is OK to wrongly associate a given quiescent state with a preceding grace period, but it is fatal to associate a given quiescent state with a grace period that begins after the quiescent state occurred. Grace periods are numbered, and the following fields track them: o ->gpnum is the number of the grace period currently in progress, or the number of the last grace period to complete if no grace period is currently in progress. o ->completed is the number of the last grace period to have completed. These two fields are equal if there is no grace period in progress, otherwise ->gpnum is one greater than ->completed. But the rdp->passed_quiesc_completed field compared against ->completed, and if equal, the quiescent state is presumed to count against the current grace period. The earlier code copied rdp->completed to rdp->passed_quiesc_completed, which has been made to work, but is error-prone. In contrast, copying one less than rdp->gpnum is guaranteed safe, because rdp->gpnum is not incremented until after the start of the corresponding grace period. At the end of the grace period, when ->completed has incremented, then any quiescent periods recorded previously will be discarded. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

CPU 0 calls force_quiescent_state(), sees that there is a grace period in progress, and acquires ->fsqlock. 2. CPU 1 detects the end of the grace period, and so cpu_quiet_msk_finish() sets rsp->completed to rsp->gpnum. This operation is carried out under the root rnp->lock, but CPU 0 has not yet acquired that lock. Note that rsp->signaled is still RCU_SAVE_DYNTICK from the last grace period. 3. CPU 1 calls rcu_start_gp(), but no one wants a new grace period, so it drops the root rnp->lock and returns. 4. CPU 0 acquires the root rnp->lock and picks up rsp->completed and rsp->signaled, then drops rnp->lock. It then enters the RCU_SAVE_DYNTICK leg of the switch statement. 5. CPU 2 invokes call_rcu(), and now needs a new grace period. It calls rcu_start_gp(), which acquires the root rnp->lock, sets rsp->signaled to RCU_GP_INIT (too bad that CPU 0 is already in the RCU_SAVE_DYNTICK leg of the switch statement!) and starts initializing the rcu_node hierarchy. If there are multiple levels to the hierarchy, it will drop the root rnp->lock and initialize the lower levels of the hierarchy. 6. CPU 0 notes that rsp->completed has not changed, which permits both CPU 2 and CPU 0 to try updating it concurrently. If CPU 0's update prevails, later calls to force_quiescent_state() can count old quiescent states against the new grace period, which can in turn result in premature ending of grace periods. Not good. This patch adds an RCU_GP_IDLE state for rsp->signaled that is set initially at boot time and any time a grace period ends. This prevents CPU 0 from getting into the workings of force_quiescent_state() in step 4. Additional locking and checks prevent the concurrent update of rsp->signaled in step 6. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

Alternatively, a TREE_PREEMPT_RCU build of the kernel is booted with RCU_FANOUT set to a sufficiently small value that the physical CPUs populate two or more leaf rcu_node structures. o A task is preempted in an RCU read-side critical section while running on a CPU corresponding to a given leaf rcu_node structure. o All CPUs corresponding to this same leaf rcu_node structure record quiescent states for the current grace period. o All of these same CPUs go offline (hence the need for enough physical CPUs to populate more than one leaf rcu_node structure). This causes the preempted task to be moved to the root rcu_node structure. At this point, there is nothing left to cause the quiescent state to be propagated up the rcu_node tree, so the current grace period never completes. The simplest fix, especially after considering the deadlock possibilities, is to detect this situation when the last CPU is offlined, and to set that CPU's ->qsmask bit in its leaf rcu_node structure. This will cause the next invocation of force_quiescent_state() to end the grace period. Without this fix, this hang can be triggered in an hour or so on some machines with rcutorture and random CPU onlining/offlining.

* rcu: Make hot-unplugged CPU relinquish its own RCU callbacksPaul E. McKenney2009-10-071-72/+79
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current interaction between RCU and CPU hotplug requires that RCU block in CPU notifiers waiting for callbacks to drain. This can be greatly simplified by having each CPU relinquish its own callbacks, and for both _rcu_barrier() and CPU_DEAD notifiers to adopt all callbacks that were previously relinquished. This change also eliminates the possibility of certain types of hangs due to the previous practice of waiting for callbacks to be invoked from within CPU notifiers. If you don't every wait, you cannot hang. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

* rcu: Move rcu_barrier() to rcutreePaul E. McKenney2009-10-071-0/+119
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Move the existing rcu_barrier() implementation to rcutree.c, consistent with the fact that the rcu_barrier() implementation is tied quite tightly to the RCU implementation.

* rcu: Clean up code based on review feedback from Josh Triplett, part 4Paul E. McKenney2009-10-051-25/+28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | These issues identified during an old-fashioned face-to-face code review extending over many hours. This group improves an existing abstraction and introduces two new ones. It also fixes an RCU stall-warning bug found while making the other changes. o Make RCU_INIT_FLAVOR() declare its own variables, removing the need to declare them at each call site. o Create an rcu_for_each_leaf() macro that scans the leaf nodes of the rcu_node tree. o Create an rcu_for_each_node_breadth_first() macro that does a breadth-first traversal of the rcu_node tree, AKA stepping through the array in index-number order. o If all CPUs corresponding to a given leaf rcu_node structure go offline, then any tasks queued on that leaf will be moved to the root rcu_node structure. Therefore, the stall-warning code must dump out tasks queued on the root rcu_node structure as well as those queued on the leaf rcu_node structures. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

The new home for this #include also allows __rcu_init_preempt() to move into rcutree_plugin.h. o Fix rcu_preempt_check_callbacks() to be static.
