rcu: Yield simpler

The rcu_yield() code is amazing. It's there to avoid starvation of the
system when lots of (boosting) work is to be done.

Now looking at the code it's functionality is:

 Make the thread SCHED_OTHER and very nice, i.e. get it out of the way
 Arm a timer with 2 ticks
 schedule()

Now if the system goes idle the rcu task returns, regains SCHED_FIFO
and plugs on. If the systems stays busy the timer fires and wakes a
per node kthread which in turn makes the per cpu thread SCHED_FIFO and
brings it back on the cpu. For the boosting thread the "make it FIFO"
bit is missing and it just runs some magic boost checks. Now this is a
lot of code with extra threads and complexity.

It's way simpler to let the tasks when they detect overload schedule
away for 2 ticks and defer the normal wakeup as long as they are in
yielded state and the cpu is not idle.

That solves the same problem and the only difference is that when the
cpu goes idle it's not guaranteed that the thread returns right away,
but it won't be longer out than two ticks, so no harm is done. If
that's an issue than it is way simpler just to wake the task from
idle as RCU has callbacks there anyway.

workqueue: Catch more locking problems with flush_work()

If a workqueue is flushed with flush_work() lockdep checking can
be circumvented. For example:

 static DEFINE_MUTEX(mutex);

 static void my_work(struct work_struct *w)
 {
         mutex_lock(&mutex);
         mutex_unlock(&mutex);
 }

 static DECLARE_WORK(work, my_work);

 static int __init start_test_module(void)
 {
         schedule_work(&work);
         return 0;
 }
 module_init(start_test_module);

 static void __exit stop_test_module(void)
 {
         mutex_lock(&mutex);
         flush_work(&work);
         mutex_unlock(&mutex);
 }
 module_exit(stop_test_module);

would not always print a warning when flush_work() was called.
In this trivial example nothing could go wrong since we are
guaranteed module_init() and module_exit() don't run concurrently,
but if the work item is schedule asynchronously we could have a
scenario where the work item is running just at the time flush_work()
is called resulting in a classic ABBA locking problem.

Add a lockdep hint by acquiring and releasing the work item
lockdep_map in flush_work() so that we always catch this
potential deadlock scenario.

lockdep: fix oops in processing workqueue

Under memory load, on x86_64, with lockdep enabled, the workqueue's
process_one_work() has been seen to oops in __lock_acquire(), barfing
on a 0xffffffff00000000 pointer in the lockdep_map's class_cache[].

Because it's permissible to free a work_struct from its callout function,
the map used is an onstack copy of the map given in the work_struct: and
that copy is made without any locking.

Surprisingly, gcc (4.5.1 in Hugh's case) uses "rep movsl" rather than
"rep movsq" for that structure copy: which might race with a workqueue
user's wait_on_work() doing lock_map_acquire() on the source of the
copy, putting a pointer into the class_cache[], but only in time for
the top half of that pointer to be copied to the destination map.

Boom when process_one_work() subsequently does lock_map_acquire()
on its onstack copy of the lockdep_map.

Fix this, and a similar instance in call_timer_fn(), with a
lockdep_copy_map() function which additionally NULLs the class_cache[].

Note: this oops was actually seen on 3.4-next, where flush_work() newly
does the racing lock_map_acquire(); but Tejun points out that 3.4 and
earlier are already vulnerable to the same through wait_on_work().

workqueue: perform cpu down operations from low priority cpu_notifier()

Currently, all workqueue cpu hotplug operations run off
CPU_PRI_WORKQUEUE which is higher than normal notifiers.  This is to
ensure that workqueue is up and running while bringing up a CPU before
other notifiers try to use workqueue on the CPU.

Per-cpu workqueues are supposed to remain working and bound to the CPU
for normal CPU_DOWN_PREPARE notifiers.  This holds mostly true even
with workqueue offlining running with higher priority because
workqueue CPU_DOWN_PREPARE only creates a bound trustee thread which
runs the per-cpu workqueue without concurrency management without
explicitly detaching the existing workers.

However, if the trustee needs to create new workers, it creates
unbound workers which may wander off to other CPUs while
CPU_DOWN_PREPARE notifiers are in progress.  Furthermore, if the CPU
down is cancelled, the per-CPU workqueue may end up with workers which
aren't bound to the CPU.

While reliably reproducible with a convoluted artificial test-case
involving scheduling and flushing CPU burning work items from CPU down
notifiers, this isn't very likely to happen in the wild, and, even
when it happens, the effects are likely to be hidden by the following
successful CPU down.

Fix it by using different priorities for up and down notifiers - high
priority for up operations and low priority for down operations.

Workqueue cpu hotplug operations will soon go through further cleanup.

workqueue: use mutex for global_cwq manager exclusion

POOL_MANAGING_WORKERS is used to ensure that at most one worker takes

MANAGING_WORKERS was rolled into the same mechanism.

Trustee is scheduled to be removed.  This patch separates out
MANAGING_WORKERS wait into per-pool mutex.  Workers use
mutex_trylock() to test for manager role and trustee uses mutex_lock()
to claim manager roles.

gcwq_claim/release_management() helpers are added to grab and release
manager roles of all pools on a global_cwq.  gcwq_claim_management()
always grabs pool manager mutexes in ascending pool index order and

workqueue: drop @bind from create_worker()

Currently, create_worker()'s callers are responsible for deciding
whether the newly created worker should be bound to the associated CPU
and create_worker() sets WORKER_UNBOUND only for the workers for the
unbound global_cwq.  Creation during normal operation is always via
maybe_create_worker() and @bind is true.  For workers created during
hotplug, @bind is false.

Normal operation path is planned to be used even while the CPU is
going through hotplug operations or offline and this static decision
won't work.

Drop @bind from create_worker() and decide whether to bind by looking
at GCWQ_DISASSOCIATED.  create_worker() will also set WORKER_UNBOUND
autmatically if disassociated.  To avoid flipping GCWQ_DISASSOCIATED
while create_worker() is in progress, the flag is now allowed to be
changed only while holding all manager_mutexes on the global_cwq.

This requires that GCWQ_DISASSOCIATED is not cleared behind trustee's
back.  CPU_ONLINE no longer clears DISASSOCIATED before flushing
trustee, which clears DISASSOCIATED before rebinding remaining workers
if asked to release.  For cases where trustee isn't around, CPU_ONLINE
clears DISASSOCIATED after flushing trustee.  Also, now, first_idle
has UNBOUND set on creation which is explicitly cleared by CPU_ONLINE
while binding it.  These convolutions will soon be removed by further
simplification of CPU hotplug path.

workqueue: reimplement CPU online rebinding to handle idle workers

Currently, if there are left workers when a CPU is being brough back
online, the trustee kills all idle workers and scheduled rebind_work
so that they re-bind to the CPU after the currently executing work is
finished.  This works for busy workers because concurrency management
doesn't try to wake up them from scheduler callbacks, which require
the target task to be on the local run queue.  The busy worker bumps
concurrency counter appropriately as it clears WORKER_UNBOUND from the
rebind work item and it's bound to the CPU before returning to the
idle state.

To reduce CPU on/offlining overhead (as many embedded systems use it
for powersaving) and simplify the code path, workqueue is planned to
be modified to retain idle workers across CPU on/offlining.  This
patch reimplements CPU online rebinding such that it can also handle
idle workers.

As noted earlier, due to the local wakeup requirement, rebinding idle
workers is tricky.  All idle workers must be re-bound before scheduler
callbacks are enabled.  This is achieved by interlocking idle
re-binding.  Idle workers are requested to re-bind and then hold until
all idle re-binding is complete so that no bound worker starts
executing work item.  Only after all idle workers are re-bound and
parked, CPU_ONLINE proceeds to release them and queue rebind work item
to busy workers thus guaranteeing scheduler callbacks aren't invoked
until all idle workers are ready.

worker_rebind_fn() is renamed to busy_worker_rebind_fn() and
idle_worker_rebind() for idle workers is added.  Rebinding logic is
moved to rebind_workers() and now called from CPU_ONLINE after
flushing trustee.  While at it, add CPU sanity check in
worker_thread().

Note that now a worker may become idle or the manager between trustee
release and rebinding during CPU_ONLINE.  As the previous patch
updated create_worker() so that it can be used by regular manager
while unbound and this patch implements idle re-binding, this is safe.

This prepares for removal of trustee and keeping idle workers across
CPU hotplugs.

workqueue: don't butcher idle workers on an offline CPU

Currently, during CPU offlining, after all pending work items are
drained, the trustee butchers all workers.  Also, on CPU onlining
failure, workqueue_cpu_callback() ensures that the first idle worker
is destroyed.  Combined, these guarantee that an offline CPU doesn't
have any worker for it once all the lingering work items are finished.

This guarantee isn't really necessary and makes CPU on/offlining more
expensive than needs to be, especially for platforms which use CPU
hotplug for powersaving.

This patch lets offline CPUs removes idle worker butchering from the
trustee and let a CPU which failed onlining keep the created first
worker.  The first worker is created if the CPU doesn't have any
during CPU_DOWN_PREPARE and started right away.  If onlining succeeds,
the rebind_workers() call in CPU_ONLINE will rebind it like any other
workers.  If onlining fails, the worker is left alone till the next
try.

This makes CPU hotplugs cheaper by allowing global_cwqs to keep
workers across them and simplifies code.

Note that trustee doesn't re-arm idle timer when it's done and thus
the disassociated global_cwq will keep all workers until it comes back
online.  This will be improved by further patches.

someone else grabs PENDING, all pre-release updates to the work item
should be visible and all updates made by the new owner should happen
afterwards.

Grabbing PENDING uses test_and_set_bit() and thus has a full barrier;
however, clearing doesn't have a matching wmb.  Given the preceding
spin_unlock and use of clear_bit, I don't believe this can be a
problem on an actual machine and there hasn't been any related report
but it still is theretically possible for clear_pending to permeate
upwards and happen before work->entry update.

workqueue: disable irq while manipulating PENDING

Queueing operations use WORK_STRUCT_PENDING_BIT to synchronize access
to the target work item.  They first try to claim the bit and proceed
with queueing only after that succeeds and there's a window between
PENDING being set and the actual queueing where the task can be
interrupted or preempted.

There's also a similar window in process_one_work() when clearing
PENDING.  A work item is dequeued, gcwq->lock is released and then
PENDING is cleared and the worker might get interrupted or preempted
between releasing gcwq->lock and clearing PENDING.

cancel[_delayed]_work_sync() tries to claim or steal PENDING.  The
function assumes that a work item with PENDING is either queued or in
the process of being [de]queued.  In the latter case, it busy-loops
until either the work item loses PENDING or is queued.  If canceling
coincides with the above described interrupts or preemptions, the
canceling task will busy-loop while the queueing or executing task is
preempted.

This patch keeps irq disabled across claiming PENDING and actual
queueing and moves PENDING clearing in process_one_work() inside
gcwq->lock so that busy looping from PENDING && !queued doesn't wait
for interrupted/preempted tasks.  Note that, in process_one_work(),
setting last CPU and clearing PENDING got merged into single
operation.

This removes possible long busy-loops and will allow using
try_to_grab_pending() from bh and irq contexts.

Scheduled addition of mod_delayed_work[_on]() requires an additional

workqueue: mark a work item being canceled as such

There can be two reasons try_to_grab_pending() can fail with -EAGAIN.
One is when someone else is queueing or deqeueing the work item.  With
the previous patches, it is guaranteed that PENDING and queued state
will soon agree making it safe to busy-retry in this case.

The other is if multiple __cancel_work_timer() invocations are racing
one another.  __cancel_work_timer() grabs PENDING and then waits for
running instances of the target work item on all CPUs while holding
PENDING and !queued.  try_to_grab_pending() invoked from another task
will keep returning -EAGAIN while the current owner is waiting.

Not distinguishing the two cases is okay because __cancel_work_timer()
is the only user of try_to_grab_pending() and it invokes
wait_on_work() whenever grabbing fails.  For the first case, busy
looping should be fine but wait_on_work() doesn't cause any critical
problem.  For the latter case, the new contender usually waits for the
same condition as the current owner, so no unnecessarily extended
busy-looping happens.  Combined, these make __cancel_work_timer()
technically correct even without irq protection while grabbing PENDING
or distinguishing the two different cases.

While the current code is technically correct, not distinguishing the
two cases makes it difficult to use try_to_grab_pending() for other
purposes than canceling because it's impossible to tell whether it's
safe to busy-retry grabbing.

This patch adds a mechanism to mark a work item being canceled.
try_to_grab_pending() now disables irq on success and returns -EAGAIN
to indicate that grabbing failed but PENDING and queued states are
gonna agree soon and it's safe to busy-loop.  It returns -ENOENT if
the work item is being canceled and it may stay PENDING && !queued for
arbitrary amount of time.

__cancel_work_timer() is modified to mark the work canceling with
WORK_OFFQ_CANCELING after grabbing PENDING, thus making
try_to_grab_pending() fail with -ENOENT instead of -EAGAIN.  Also, it
invokes wait_on_work() iff grabbing failed with -ENOENT.  This isn't
necessary for correctness but makes it consistent with other future
users of try_to_grab_pending().

v2: try_to_grab_pending() was testing preempt_count() to ensure that
    the caller has disabled preemption.  This triggers spuriously if

    rather than requiring preemption disabled by the caller.  This

workqueue: fix CPU binding of flush_delayed_work[_sync]()

delayed_work encodes the workqueue to use and the last CPU in
delayed_work->work.data while it's on timer.  The target CPU is
implicitly recorded as the CPU the timer is queued on and
delayed_work_timer_fn() queues delayed_work->work to the CPU it is
running on.

Unfortunately, this leaves flush_delayed_work[_sync]() no way to find
out which CPU the delayed_work was queued for when they try to
re-queue after killing the timer.  Currently, it chooses the local CPU
flush is running on.  This can unexpectedly move a delayed_work queued
on a specific CPU to another CPU and lead to subtle errors.

There isn't much point in trying to save several bytes in struct
delayed_work, which is already close to a hundred bytes on 64bit with
all debug options turned off.  This patch adds delayed_work->cpu to
remember the CPU it's queued for.

Note that if the timer is migrated during CPU down, the work item
could be queued to the downed global_cwq after this change.  As a
detached global_cwq behaves like an unbound one, this doesn't change
much for the delayed_work.

workqueue: add missing wmb() in clear_work_data()

Any operation which clears PENDING should be preceded by a wmb to
guarantee that the next PENDING owner sees all the changes made before
PENDING release.

There are only two places where PENDING is cleared -
set_work_cpu_and_clear_pending() and clear_work_data().  The caller of
the former already does smp_wmb() but the latter doesn't have any.

Move the wmb above set_work_cpu_and_clear_pending() into it and add
one to clear_work_data().

There hasn't been any report related to this issue, and, given how
clear_work_data() is used, it is extremely unlikely to have caused any
actual problems on any architecture.

workqueue: make all workqueues non-reentrant

By default, each per-cpu part of a bound workqueue operates separately
and a work item may be executing concurrently on different CPUs.  The
behavior avoids some cross-cpu traffic but leads to subtle weirdities
and not-so-subtle contortions in the API.

* There's no sane usefulness in allowing a single work item to be
  executed concurrently on multiple CPUs.  People just get the
  behavior unintentionally and get surprised after learning about it.
  Most either explicitly synchronize or use non-reentrant/ordered
  workqueue but this is error-prone.

* flush_work() can't wait for multiple instances of the same work item
  on different CPUs.  If a work item is executing on cpu0 and then
  queued on cpu1, flush_work() can only wait for the one on cpu1.

  Unfortunately, work items can easily cross CPU boundaries
  unintentionally when the queueing thread gets migrated.  This means
  that if multiple queuers compete, flush_work() can't even guarantee
  that the instance queued right before it is finished before
  returning.

* flush_work_sync() was added to work around some of the deficiencies
  of flush_work().  In addition to the usual flushing, it ensures that
  all currently executing instances are finished before returning.
  This operation is expensive as it has to walk all CPUs and at the
  same time fails to address competing queuer case.

  Incorrectly using flush_work() when flush_work_sync() is necessary
  is an easy error to make and can lead to bugs which are difficult to
  reproduce.

* Similar problems exist for flush_delayed_work[_sync]().

Other than the cross-cpu access concern, there's no benefit in
allowing parallel execution and it's plain silly to have this level of
contortion for workqueue which is widely used from core code to
extremely obscure drivers.

This patch makes all workqueues non-reentrant.  If a work item is
executing on a different CPU when queueing is requested, it is always
queued to that CPU.  This guarantees that any given work item can be
executing on one CPU at maximum and if a work item is queued and
executing, both are on the same CPU.

The only behavior change which may affect workqueue users negatively
is that non-reentrancy overrides the affinity specified by
queue_work_on().  On a reentrant workqueue, the affinity specified by
queue_work_on() is always followed.  Now, if the work item is
executing on one of the CPUs, the work item will be queued there
regardless of the requested affinity.  I've reviewed all workqueue
users which request explicit affinity, and, fortunately, none seems to
be crazy enough to exploit parallel execution of the same work item.

This adds an additional busy_hash lookup if the work item was
previously queued on a different CPU.  This shouldn't be noticeable
under any sane workload.  Work item queueing isn't a very
high-frequency operation and they don't jump across CPUs all the time.
In a micro benchmark to exaggerate this difference - measuring the
time it takes for two work items to repeatedly jump between two CPUs a
number (10M) of times with busy_hash table densely populated, the
difference was around 3%.

While the overhead is measureable, it is only visible in pathological
cases and the difference isn't huge.  This change brings much needed
sanity to workqueue and makes its behavior consistent with timer.  I
think this is the right tradeoff to make.

This enables significant simplification of workqueue API.
Simplification patches will follow.

Also, unlike other flush and cancel functions, a canceled delayed_work

different workqueue, the queueing code can oops trying to dereference
already freed cpu_workqueue.

workqueue: UNBOUND -> REBIND morphing in rebind_workers() should be atomic

The compiler may compile the following code into TWO write/modify
instructions.

	worker->flags &= ~WORKER_UNBOUND;
	worker->flags |= WORKER_REBIND;

so the other CPU may temporarily see worker->flags which doesn't have
either WORKER_UNBOUND or WORKER_REBIND set and perform local wakeup
prematurely.

Fix it by using single explicit assignment via ACCESS_ONCE().

Because idle workers have another WORKER_NOT_RUNNING flag, this bug
doesn't exist for them; however, update it to use the same pattern for
consistency.

workqueue: fix possible deadlock in idle worker rebinding

Currently, rebind_workers() and idle_worker_rebind() are two-way
interlocked.  rebind_workers() waits for idle workers to finish
rebinding and rebound idle workers wait for rebind_workers() to finish
rebinding busy workers before proceeding.

Unfortunately, this isn't enough.  The second wait from idle workers
is implemented as follows.

	wait_event(gcwq->rebind_hold, !(worker->flags & WORKER_REBIND));

rebind_workers() clears WORKER_REBIND, wakes up the idle workers and
then returns.  If CPU hotplug cycle happens again before one of the
idle workers finishes the above wait_event(), rebind_workers() will
repeat the first part of the handshake - set WORKER_REBIND again and
wait for the idle worker to finish rebinding - and this leads to
deadlock because the idle worker would be waiting for WORKER_REBIND to
clear.

This is fixed by adding another interlocking step at the end -
rebind_workers() now waits for all the idle workers to finish the
above WORKER_REBIND wait before returning.  This ensures that all
rebinding steps are complete on all idle workers before the next
hotplug cycle can happen.

This problem was diagnosed by Lai Jiangshan who also posted a patch to
fix the issue, upon which this patch is based.

This is the minimal fix and further patches are scheduled for the next
merge window to simplify the CPU hotplug path.

workqueue: fix possible idle worker depletion across CPU hotplug

To simplify both normal and CPU hotplug paths, worker management is
prevented while CPU hoplug is in progress.  This is achieved by CPU
hotplug holding the same exclusion mechanism used by workers to ensure
there's only one manager per pool.

If someone else seems to be performing the manager role, workers
proceed to execute work items.  CPU hotplug using the same mechanism
can lead to idle worker depletion because all workers could proceed to
execute work items while CPU hotplug is in progress and CPU hotplug
itself wouldn't actually perform the worker management duty - it
doesn't guarantee that there's an idle worker left when it releases
management.

This idle worker depletion, under extreme circumstances, can break
forward-progress guarantee and thus lead to deadlock.

This patch fixes the bug by using separate mechanisms for manager
exclusion among workers and hotplug exclusion.  For manager exclusion,
POOL_MANAGING_WORKERS which was restored by the previous patch is
used.  pool->manager_mutex is now only used for exclusion between the
elected manager and CPU hotplug.  The elected manager won't proceed
without holding pool->manager_mutex.

This ensures that the worker which won the manager position can't skip
managing while CPU hotplug is in progress.  It will block on
manager_mutex and perform management after CPU hotplug is complete.

Note that hotplug may happen while waiting for manager_mutex.  A
manager isn't either on idle or busy list and thus the hoplug code
can't unbind/rebind it.  Make the manager handle its own un/rebinding.

workqueue: reimplement idle worker rebinding

Currently rebind_workers() uses rebinds idle workers synchronously
before proceeding to requesting busy workers to rebind.  This is
necessary because all workers on @worker_pool->idle_list must be bound
before concurrency management local wake-ups from the busy workers
take place.

Unfortunately, the synchronous idle rebinding is quite complicated.
This patch reimplements idle rebinding to simplify the code path.

Rather than trying to make all idle workers bound before rebinding
busy workers, we simply remove all to-be-bound idle workers from the
idle list and let them add themselves back after completing rebinding
(successful or not).

As only workers which finished rebinding can on on the idle worker
list, the idle worker list is guaranteed to have only bound workers
unless CPU went down again and local wake-ups are safe.

After the change, @worker_pool->nr_idle may deviate than the actual
number of idle workers on @worker_pool->idle_list.  More specifically,
nr_idle may be non-zero while ->idle_list is empty.  All users of
->nr_idle and ->idle_list are audited.  The only affected one is
too_many_workers() which is updated to check %false if ->idle_list is
empty regardless of ->nr_idle.

After this patch, rebind_workers() no longer performs the nasty
idle-rebind retries which require temporary release of gcwq->lock, and
both unbinding and rebinding are atomic w.r.t. global_cwq->lock.

worker->idle_rebind and global_cwq->rebind_hold are now unnecessary
and removed along with the definition of struct idle_rebind.

Changed from V1:
	1) remove unlikely from too_many_workers(), ->idle_list can be empty
	   anytime, even before this patch, no reason to use unlikely.
	2) fix a small rebasing mistake.
	   (which is from rebasing the orignal fixing patch to for-next)
	3) add a lot of comments.
	4) clear WORKER_REBIND unconditionaly in idle_worker_rebind()

WORKER_REBIND, to avoid incorrectly losing all NOT_RUNNING bits with
back-to-back CPU hotplug operations; otherwise, completion of
rebinding while another unbinding is in progress could clear UNBIND
prematurely.

Now that both unbind/rebinding are atomic w.r.t. GCWQ_DISASSOCIATED,
there's no need to use two flags.  Just one is enough.  Don't use
WORKER_REBIND for busy rebinding.

workqueue: WORKER_REBIND is no longer necessary for idle rebinding

Now both worker destruction and idle rebinding remove the worker from
idle list while it's still idle, so list_empty(&worker->entry) can be
used to test whether either is pending and WORKER_DIE to distinguish
between the two instead making WORKER_REBIND unnecessary.

Use list_empty(&worker->entry) to determine whether destruction or
rebinding is pending.  This simplifies worker state transitions.

WORKER_REBIND is not needed anymore.  Remove it.

workqueue: fix possible stall on try_to_grab_pending() of a delayed work item

Currently, when try_to_grab_pending() grabs a delayed work item, it
leaves its linked work items alone on the delayed_works.  The linked
work items are always NO_COLOR and will cause future
cwq_activate_first_delayed() increase cwq->nr_active incorrectly, and
may cause the whole cwq to stall.  For example,

state: cwq->max_active = 1, cwq->nr_active = 1
       one work in cwq->pool, many in cwq->delayed_works.

step1: try_to_grab_pending() removes a work item from delayed_works
       but leaves its NO_COLOR linked work items on it.

step2: Later on, cwq_activate_first_delayed() activates the linked
       work item increasing ->nr_active.

step3: cwq->nr_active = 1, but all activated work items of the cwq are
       NO_COLOR.  When they finish, cwq->nr_active will not be
       decreased due to NO_COLOR, and no further work items will be
       activated from cwq->delayed_works. the cwq stalls.

Fix it by ensuring the target work item is activated before stealing
PENDING in try_to_grab_pending().  This ensures that all the linked
work items are activated without incorrectly bumping cwq->nr_active.

workqueue: reimplement work_on_cpu() using system_wq

The existing work_on_cpu() implementation is hugely inefficient.  It
creates a new kthread, execute that single function and then let the
kthread die on each invocation.

Now that system_wq can handle concurrent executions, there's no
advantage of doing this.  Reimplement work_on_cpu() using system_wq
which makes it simpler and way more efficient.

stable: While this isn't a fix in itself, it's needed to fix a

workqueue: mod_delayed_work_on() shouldn't queue timer on 0 delay

8376fe22c7 ("workqueue: implement mod_delayed_work[_on]()")
implemented mod_delayed_work[_on]() using the improved
try_to_grab_pending().  The function is later used, among others, to
replace [__]candel_delayed_work() + queue_delayed_work() combinations.

Unfortunately, a delayed_work item w/ zero @delay is handled slightly
differently by mod_delayed_work_on() compared to
queue_delayed_work_on().  The latter skips timer altogether and
directly queues it using queue_work_on() while the former schedules
timer which will expire on the closest tick.  This means, when @delay
is zero, that [__]cancel_delayed_work() + queue_delayed_work_on()
makes the target item immediately executable while
mod_delayed_work_on() may induce delay of upto a full tick.

This somewhat subtle difference breaks some of the converted users.
e.g. block queue plugging uses delayed_work for deferred processing
and uses mod_delayed_work_on() when the queue needs to be immediately
unplugged.  The above problem manifested as noticeably higher number
of context switches under certain circumstances.

The difference in behavior was caused by missing special case handling
for 0 delay in mod_delayed_work_on() compared to
queue_delayed_work_on().  Joonsoo Kim posted a patch to add it -
("workqueue: optimize mod_delayed_work_on() when @delay == 0")[1].
The patch was queued for 3.8 but it was described as optimization and
I missed that it was a correctness issue.

As both queue_delayed_work_on() and mod_delayed_work_on() use
__queue_delayed_work() for queueing, it seems that the better approach
is to move the 0 delay special handling to the function instead of
duplicating it in mod_delayed_work_on().

Fix the problem by moving 0 delay special case handling from
queue_delayed_work_on() to __queue_delayed_work().  This replaces
Joonsoo's patch.

workqueue: convert BUG_ON()s in __queue_delayed_work() to WARN_ON_ONCE()s

8852aac25e ("workqueue: mod_delayed_work_on() shouldn't queue timer on
0 delay") unexpectedly uncovered a very nasty abuse of delayed_work in
megaraid - it allocated work_struct, casted it to delayed_work and
then pass that into queue_delayed_work().

Previously, this was okay because 0 @delay short-circuited to
queue_work() before doing anything with delayed_work.  8852aac25e
moved 0 @delay test into __queue_delayed_work() after sanity check on
delayed_work making megaraid trigger BUG_ON().

Although megaraid is already fixed by c1d390d8e6 ("megaraid: fix
BUG_ON() from incorrect use of delayed work"), this patch converts
BUG_ON()s in __queue_delayed_work() to WARN_ON_ONCE()s so that such
abusers, if there are more, trigger warning but don't crash the
machine.

writeback: Fix occasional slow sync(1)

In case when system contains no dirty pages, wakeup_flusher_threads()
will submit WB_SYNC_NONE writeback for 0 pages so wb_writeback() exits
immediately without doing anything. Thus sync(1) will write all the
dirty inodes from a WB_SYNC_ALL writeback pass which is slow.

Fix the problem by using get_nr_dirty_pages() in
wakeup_flusher_threads() instead of calculating number of dirty pages
manually. That function also takes number of dirty inodes into account.

Entropy is quickly depleted under normal operations like ls(1), cat(1),
etc...  between 2.6.30 to current mainline, for instance:

$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail
3428
$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail
2911
$cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail
2620

We observed this problem has been occurring since 2.6.30 with
fs/binfmt_elf.c: create_elf_tables()->get_random_bytes(), introduced by
f06295b44c296c8f ("ELF: implement AT_RANDOM for glibc PRNG seeding").

/*
 * Generate 16 random bytes for userspace PRNG seeding.
 */
get_random_bytes(k_rand_bytes, sizeof(k_rand_bytes));

The patch introduces a wrapper around get_random_int() which has lower
overhead than calling get_random_bytes() directly.

With this patch applied:
$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail

Revert "cpufreq: ondemand"
cpufreq: Use dedicated high-priority workqueues

In the process of scaling CPU frequencies, cpufreq and the APIS is
calls may hold resources that will prevent threads critical for
system stability from running.

Specifically, thermal-mitigation software may need to respond
quickly to high-temperature conditions and throttle the CPU speed
in an effort to cool down. If the system is already in the middle
of a CPU frequency switch being executed on behalf of a cpufreq
governor, thermal mitigation will be blocked until the scaling
action has completed. If the system is under heave load of medium
or high-priority threads, this may take a long while and the system
may potentially surpass thermal limits in the meantime.

Resolve this by using high priority workqueues for all ondemand
and conservative governor scaling operations.  This will allow them
to complete promptly and release their hold on resources necessary
for maintaining system stability.

sync: don't block the flusher thread waiting on IO

When sync does it's WB_SYNC_ALL writeback, it issues data Io and
then immediately waits for IO completion. This is done in the
context of the flusher thread, and hence completely ties up the
flusher thread for the backing device until all the dirty inodes
have been synced. On filesystems that are dirtying inodes constantly
and quickly, this means the flusher thread can be tied up for
minutes per sync call and hence badly affect system level write IO
performance as the page cache cannot be cleaned quickly.

We already have a wait loop for IO completion for sync(2), so cut
this out of the flusher thread and delegate it to wait_sb_inodes().
Hence we can do rapid IO submission, and then wait for it all to
complete.

Effect of sync on fsmark before the patch:

After the patch, there is no impact on fsmark results, and each

workload takes roughly 7s:

  real    0m6.930s

softirq: reduce latencies

In various network workloads, __do_softirq() latencies can be up
to 20 ms if HZ=1000, and 200 ms if HZ=100.

This is because we iterate 10 times in the softirq dispatcher,
and some actions can consume a lot of cycles.

This patch changes the fallback to ksoftirqd condition to :

- A time limit of 2 ms.
- need_resched() being set on current task

When one of this condition is met, we wakeup ksoftirqd for further
softirq processing if we still have pending softirqs.

Using need_resched() as the only condition can trigger RCU stalls,
as we can keep BH disabled for too long.

I ran several benchmarks and got no significant difference in
throughput, but a very significant reduction of latencies (one order
of magnitude) :

In following bench, 200 antagonist "netperf -t TCP_RR" are started in
background, using all available cpus.

Then we start one "netperf -t TCP_RR", bound to the cpu handling the NIC

writeback: fix race that cause writeback hung

There is a race between mark inode dirty and writeback thread, see the
following scenario.  In this case, writeback thread will not run though
there is dirty_io.

__mark_inode_dirty()                                          bdi_writeback_workfn()
	...                                                       	...
	spin_lock(&inode->i_lock);
	...
	if (bdi_cap_writeback_dirty(bdi)) {
	    <<< assume wb has dirty_io, so wakeup_bdi is false.
	    <<< the following inode_dirty also have wakeup_bdi false.
	    if (!wb_has_dirty_io(&bdi->wb))
		    wakeup_bdi = true;
	}
	spin_unlock(&inode->i_lock);
	                                                            <<< assume last dirty_io is removed here.
	                                                            pages_written = wb_do_writeback(wb);
	                                                            ...
	                                                            <<< work_list empty and wb has no dirty_io,
	                                                            <<< delayed_work will not be queued.
	                                                            if (!list_empty(&bdi->work_list) ||
	                                                                (wb_has_dirty_io(wb) && dirty_writeback_interval))
	                                                                queue_delayed_work(bdi_wq, &wb->dwork,
	                                                                    msecs_to_jiffies(dirty_writeback_interval * 10));
	spin_lock(&bdi->wb.list_lock);
	inode->dirtied_when = jiffies;
	<<< new dirty_io is added.
	list_move(&inode->i_wb_list, &bdi->wb.b_dirty);
	spin_unlock(&bdi->wb.list_lock);

	<<< though there is dirty_io, but wakeup_bdi is false,
	<<< so writeback thread will not be waked up and
	<<< the new dirty_io will not be flushed.
	if (wakeup_bdi)
	    bdi_wakeup_thread_delayed(bdi);

Writeback will run until there is a new flush work queued.  This may cause
a lot of dirty pages stay in memory for a long time.

msm: cpufreq: Only apply driver limits for scaling_min/max_freq writes

When new values are written to scaling_min/max_freq sysfs files, the
current code applies all the limits imposed by various ADJUST and
INCOMPATIBLE notifiers handlers before storing them.

When the ADJUST and/or INCOMPATIBLE notifiers change their limits
frequently, this behavior makes it almost impossible for a
user/userspace process to store the scaling_min/max_freq limits
that go beyond the instantaneous limits imposed by the notifiers.
Since these sysfs nodes are typically meant to set limits that need
to be enforced for the foreseeable future, this is not a very user
friendly behavior.

So, change the behavior to only apply limits that are enforced by
the cpufreq driver. Typically, these are just the absolute limits
of the HW and don't change very often.
