workqueue: change BUG_ON() to WARN_ON()

This BUG_ON() can be triggered if you call schedule_work() before
calling INIT_WORK().  It is a bug definitely, but it's nicer to just
print a stack trace and return.

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: drop CPU_DYING notifier operation

Workqueue used CPU_DYING notification to mark GCWQ_DISASSOCIATED.
This was necessary because workqueue's CPU_DOWN_PREPARE happened
before other DOWN_PREPARE notifiers and workqueue needed to stay
associated across the rest of DOWN_PREPARE.

After the previous patch, workqueue's DOWN_PREPARE happens after

workqueue: ROGUE workers are UNBOUND workers

Currently, WORKER_UNBOUND is used to mark workers for the unbound

workqueue: use mutex for global_cwq manager exclusion

POOL_MANAGING_WORKERS is used to ensure that at most one worker takes
the manager role at any given time on a given global_cwq.  Trustee
later hitched on it to assume manager adding blocking wait for the
bit.  As trustee already needed a custom wait mechanism, waiting for
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
uses pool index as lockdep subclass.

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.

workqueue: remove CPU offline trustee

trustee completely redundant except for the actual unbinding
operation.

This patch removes the trustee and let a disassociated global_cwq
manage itself.  Unbinding is moved to a work item (for CPU affinity)
which is scheduled and flushed from CPU_DONW_PREPARE.

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

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.

There's a subtle idle worker depletion bug across CPU hotplug events

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 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

        shouldn't break other existing users.
