of memory pressure so our private WQ needs to have at least

This patch introduces a small enhancement which allows to do a
direct wake-up of synchronize_rcu() callers. It occurs after a
completion of grace period, thus by the gp-kthread.
Number of clients is limited by the hard-coded maximum allowed
threshold. The remaining part, if still exists is deferred to
a main worker.

Add an rcu_sr_normal() trace event. It takes three arguments
first one is the name of RCU flavour, second one is a user id
which triggeres synchronize_rcu_normal() and last one is an
event.
There are two traces in the synchronize_rcu_normal(). On entry,
when a new request is registered and on exit point when request
is completed.
Please note, CONFIG_RCU_TRACE=y is required to activate traces.

A call to a synchronize_rcu() can be optimized from a latency
point of view. Workloads which depend on this can benefit of it.
The delay of wakeme_after_rcu() callback, which unblocks a waiter,
depends on several factors:
- how fast a process of offloading is started. Combination of:
- !CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU/CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU;
- !CONFIG_RCU_LAZY/CONFIG_RCU_LAZY;
- other.
- when started, invoking path is interrupted due to:
- time limit;
- need_resched();
- if limit is reached.
- where in a nocb list it is located;
- how fast previous callbacks completed;
Example:
1. On our embedded devices i can easily trigger the scenario when
it is a last in the list out of ~3600 callbacks:
<snip>

2. We use cpuset/cgroup to classify tasks and assign them into
different cgroups. For example "backgrond" group which binds tasks
only to little CPUs or "foreground" which makes use of all CPUs.
Tasks can be migrated between groups by a request if an acceleration
is needed.
See below an example how "surfaceflinger" task gets migrated.
Initially it is located in the "system-background" cgroup which
allows to run only on little cores. In order to speed it up it
can be temporary moved into "foreground" cgroup which allows
to use big/all CPUs:
cgroup_attach_task():
-> cgroup_migrate_execute()
-> cpuset_can_attach()
-> percpu_down_write()
-> rcu_sync_enter()
-> synchronize_rcu()
-> now move tasks to the new cgroup.
-> cgroup_migrate_finish()
<snip>
rcuop/1-29 [000] ..... 7030.528570: rcu_invoke_callback: rcu_preempt rhp=00000000461605e0 func=wakeme_after_rcu.cfi_jt

<snip>
"Boosting a task" depends on synchronize_rcu() latency:
- first trace shows a completion of synchronize_rcu();
- second shows attaching a task to a new group;
- last shows a final step when migration occurs.
3. To address this drawback, maintain a separate track that consists
of synchronize_rcu() callers only. After completion of a grace period
users are deferred to a dedicated worker to process requests.
4. This patch reduces the latency of synchronize_rcu() approximately
by ~30-40% on synthetic tests. The real test case, camera launch time,
shows(time is in milliseconds):
1-run 542 vs 489 improvement 9%
2-run 540 vs 466 improvement 13%
3-run 518 vs 468 improvement 9%
4-run 531 vs 457 improvement 13%
5-run 548 vs 475 improvement 13%
6-run 509 vs 484 improvement 4%
Synthetic test(no "noise" from other callbacks):
Hardware: x86_64 64 CPUs, 64GB of memory
Linux-6.6
- 10K tasks(simultaneous);
- each task does(1000 loops)
synchronize_rcu();
kfree(p);
default: CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU: takes 54 seconds to complete all users;
patch: CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU: takes 35 seconds to complete all users.
Running 60K gives approximately same results on my setup. Please note
it is without any interaction with another type of callbacks, otherwise
it will impact a lot a default case.
5. By default it is disabled. To enable this perform one of the
below sequence:
echo 1 > /sys/module/rcutree/parameters/rcu_normal_wake_from_gp
or pass a boot parameter "rcutree.rcu_normal_wake_from_gp=1"

Currently, there are rcu_data structure fields named ->rcu_onl_gp_seq
and ->rcu_ofl_gp_seq that track the rcu_state.gp_flags field at the
time of the corresponding CPU's last online or offline operation,
respectively. However, this information is not particularly useful.
It would be better to instead track the grace period state kept
in rcu_state.gp_state. This would also be consistent with the
initialization in rcu_boot_init_percpu_data(), which is to RCU_GP_CLEANED
(an rcu_state.gp_state value), and also with the diagnostics in
rcu_implicit_dynticks_qs(), whose format is consistent with an integer,
not a bitmask.
This commit therefore makes this change and changes the names to
->rcu_onl_gp_flags and ->rcu_ofl_gp_flags, respectively.

Although it is functionally OK to do READ_ONCE() of a variable that
cannot change, it is confusing and at best an accident waiting to happen.
This commit therefore removes a number of READ_ONCE(rcu_state.gp_flags)
instances from kernel/rcu/tree.c that are not needed due to updates
to this field being excluded by virtue of holding the root rcu_node
structure's ->lock.

In order for RCU Tasks to reliably maintain per-CPU lists of exiting
tasks, those lists must be initialized before it is possible for tasks
to exit, especially given that the boot CPU is not necessarily CPU 0
(an example being, powerpc kexec() kernels). And at the time that
rcu_init_tasks_generic() is called, a task could potentially exit,
unconventional though that sort of thing might be.
This commit therefore moves the calls to cblist_init_generic() from
functions called from rcu_init_tasks_generic() to a new function named
tasks_cblist_init_generic() that is invoked from rcu_init().
This constituted a bug in a commit that never went to mainline, so
there is no need for any backporting to -stable.

To allow more flexible arrangements while still provide a single kernel
for distros, provide a boot time parameter to enable/disable lazy RCU.
Specify:
rcutree.enable_rcu_lazy=[y|1|n|0]
Which also requires
rcu_nocbs=all
at boot time to enable/disable lazy RCU.
To disable it by default at build time when CONFIG_RCU_LAZY=y, the new
CONFIG_RCU_LAZY_DEFAULT_OFF can be used.

Waiting for an expedited grace period and polling for an expedited
grace period both are operations that internally rely on the same
workqueue performing necessary asynchronous work.
However, a dependency chain is involved between those two operations,
as depicted below:
====== CPU 0 ======= ====== CPU 1 =======
synchronize_rcu_expedited()
exp_funnel_lock()
mutex_lock(&rcu_state.exp_mutex);
start_poll_synchronize_rcu_expedited
queue_work(rcu_gp_wq, &rnp->exp_poll_wq);
synchronize_rcu_expedited_queue_work()
queue_work(rcu_gp_wq, &rew->rew_work);
wait_event() // A, wait for &rew->rew_work completion
mutex_unlock() // B
//======> switch to kworker
sync_rcu_do_polled_gp() {
synchronize_rcu_expedited()
exp_funnel_lock()
mutex_lock(&rcu_state.exp_mutex); // C, wait B
....
} // D
Since workqueues are usually implemented on top of several kworkers
handling the queue concurrently, the above situation wouldn't deadlock
most of the time because A then doesn't depend on D. But in case of
memory stress, a single kworker may end up handling alone all the works
in a serialized way. In that case the above layout becomes a problem
because A then waits for D, closing a circular dependency:
A -> D -> C -> B -> A
This however only happens when CONFIG_RCU_EXP_KTHREAD=n. Indeed
synchronize_rcu_expedited() is otherwise implemented on top of a kthread
worker while polling still relies on rcu_gp_wq workqueue, breaking the
above circular dependency chain.
Fix this with making expedited grace period to always rely on kthread
worker. The workqueue based implementation is essentially a duplicate
anyway now that the per-node initialization is performed by per-node
kthread workers.
Meanwhile the CONFIG_RCU_EXP_KTHREAD switch is still kept around to
manage the scheduler policy of these kthread workers.

Affine the parallel expedited gp kworkers to their respective RCU node
in order to make them close to the cache their are playing with.
This reuses the boost kthreads machinery that probe into CPU hotplug
operations such that the kthreads become/stay affine to their respective
node as soon/long as they contain online CPUs. Otherwise and if the
current CPU going down was the last online on the leaf node, the related
kthread is affine to the housekeeping CPUs.
In the long run, this affinity VS CPU hotplug operation game should
probably be implemented at the generic kthread level.

When CONFIG_RCU_EXP_KTHREAD=n, the expedited grace period per node
initialization is performed in parallel via workqueues (one work per
node).
However in CONFIG_RCU_EXP_KTHREAD=y, this per node initialization is
performed by a single kworker serializing each node initialization (one
work for all nodes).
The second part is certainly less scalable and efficient beyond a single
leaf node.
To improve this, expand this single kworker into per-node kworkers. This
new layout is eventually intended to remove the workqueues based
implementation since it will essentially now become duplicate code.

rcutree_prepare_cpu()
The expedited kthread worker performing the per node initialization is
going to be split into per node kthreads. As such, the future per node
kthread creation will need to be called from CPU hotplug callbacks
instead of an initcall, right beside the per node boost kthread
creation.
To prepare for that, move the kthread worker creation above
rcutree_prepare_cpu() as a first step to make the review smoother for
the upcoming modifications.

This mutex is currently protecting per node boost kthreads creation and
affinity setting across CPU hotplug operations.
Since the expedited kworkers will soon be split per node as well, they
will be subject to the same concurrency constraints against hotplug.
Therefore their creation and affinity tuning operations will be grouped
with those of boost kthreads and then rely on the same mutex.
To prepare for that, generalize its name.

Under CONFIG_RCU_EXP_KTHREAD=y, the nodes initialization for expedited
grace periods is queued to a kworker. However if the allocation of that
kworker failed, the nodes initialization is performed synchronously by
the caller instead.
Now the check for kworker initialization failure relies on the kworker
pointer to be NULL while its value might actually encapsulate an
allocation failure error.
Make sure to handle this case.

Currently the call_rcu() function interleaves NOCB and !NOCB enqueue
code in a complicated way such that:
* The bypass enqueue code may or may not have enqueued and may or may
not have locked the ->nocb_lock. Everything that follows is in a
Schrödinger locking state for the unwary reviewer's eyes.
* The was_alldone is always set but only used in NOCB related code.
* The NOCB wake up is distantly related to the locking hopefully
performed by the bypass enqueue code that did not enqueue on the
bypass list.
Unconfuse the whole and gather NOCB and !NOCB specific enqueue code to

Currently IRQs are disabled on call_rcu() and then depending on the
context:
* If the CPU is in nocb mode:
- If the callback is enqueued in the bypass list, IRQs are re-enabled
implictly by rcu_nocb_try_bypass()
- If the callback is enqueued in the normal list, IRQs are re-enabled
implicitly by __call_rcu_nocb_wake()
* If the CPU is NOT in nocb mode, IRQs are reenabled explicitly from call_rcu()
This makes the code a bit hard to follow, especially as it interleaves
with nocb locking.
To make the IRQ flags coverage clearer and also in order to prepare for
moving all the nocb enqueue code to its own function, always re-enable
the IRQ flags explicitly from call_rcu().

A full barrier is issued from nocb_gp_wait() upon callbacks advancing
to order grace period completion with callbacks execution.
However these two events are already ordered by the
smp_mb__after_unlock_lock() barrier within the call to
raw_spin_lock_rcu_node() that is necessary for callbacks advancing to
happen.
The following litmus test shows the kind of guarantee that this barrier
provides:
C smp_mb__after_unlock_lock
{}
// rcu_gp_cleanup()
P0(spinlock_t *rnp_lock, int *gpnum)
{
// Grace period cleanup increase gp sequence number
spin_lock(rnp_lock);
WRITE_ONCE(*gpnum, 1);
spin_unlock(rnp_lock);
}
// nocb_gp_wait()
P1(spinlock_t *rnp_lock, spinlock_t *nocb_lock, int *gpnum, int *cb_ready)
{
int r1;
// Call rcu_advance_cbs() from nocb_gp_wait()
spin_lock(nocb_lock);
spin_lock(rnp_lock);
smp_mb__after_unlock_lock();
r1 = READ_ONCE(*gpnum);
WRITE_ONCE(*cb_ready, 1);
spin_unlock(rnp_lock);
spin_unlock(nocb_lock);
}
// nocb_cb_wait()
P2(spinlock_t *nocb_lock, int *cb_ready, int *cb_executed)
{
int r2;
// rcu_do_batch() -> rcu_segcblist_extract_done_cbs()
spin_lock(nocb_lock);
r2 = READ_ONCE(*cb_ready);
spin_unlock(nocb_lock);
// Actual callback execution
WRITE_ONCE(*cb_executed, 1);
}
P3(int *cb_executed, int *gpnum)
{
int r3;
WRITE_ONCE(*cb_executed, 2);
smp_mb();
r3 = READ_ONCE(*gpnum);
}
exists (1:r1=1 /\ 2:r2=1 /\ cb_executed=2 /\ 3:r3=0) (* Bad outcome. *)
Here the bad outcome only occurs if the smp_mb__after_unlock_lock() is
removed. This barrier orders the grace period completion against
callbacks advancing and even later callbacks invocation, thanks to the
opportunistic propagation via the ->nocb_lock to nocb_cb_wait().
Therefore the smp_mb() placed after callbacks advancing can be safely
removed.

When the CPU goes idle for the last time during the CPU down hotplug
process, RCU reports a final quiescent state for the current CPU. If
this quiescent state propagates up to the top, some tasks may then be
woken up to complete the grace period: the main grace period kthread
and/or the expedited main workqueue (or kworker).
If those kthreads have a SCHED_FIFO policy, the wake up can indirectly
arm the RT bandwith timer to the local offline CPU. Since this happens
after hrtimers have been migrated at CPUHP_AP_HRTIMERS_DYING stage, the
timer gets ignored. Therefore if the RCU kthreads are waiting for RT
bandwidth to be available, they may never be actually scheduled.
This triggers TREE03 rcutorture hangs:

The situation can't be solved with just unpinning the timer. The hrtimer
infrastructure and the nohz heuristics involved in finding the best
remote target for an unpinned timer would then also need to handle
enqueues from an offline CPU in the most horrendous way.
So fix this on the RCU side instead and defer the wake up to an online
CPU if it's too late for the local one.

If an rcutorture test scenario creates an fqs_task kthread, it will
periodically invoke rcu_force_quiescent_state() in order to start
force-quiescent-state (FQS) operations. However, an FQS operation
will be started even if there is no RCU grace period in progress.
Although testing FQS operations startup when there is no grace period in
progress is necessary, it need not happen all that often. This commit
therefore causes rcu_force_quiescent_state() to take an early exit
if there is no grace period in progress.
Note that there will still be attempts to start an FQS scan in the
absence of a grace period because the grace period might end right
after the rcu_force_quiescent_state() function's check. In actual
testing, this happens about once every ten minutes, which should
provide adequate testing.

Commit 851a723e45d1 ("sched: Always clear user_cpus_ptr in
do_set_cpus_allowed()") added a kfree() call to free any user
provided affinity mask, if present. It was changed later to use
kfree_rcu() in commit 9a5418bc48ba ("sched/core: Use kfree_rcu()
in do_set_cpus_allowed()") to avoid a circular locking dependency
problem.
It turns out that even kfree_rcu() isn't safe for avoiding
circular locking problem. As reported by kernel test robot,
the following circular locking dependency now exists:
&rdp->nocb_lock --> rcu_node_0 --> &rq->__lock
Solve this by breaking the rcu_node_0 --> &rq->__lock chain by moving
the resched_cpu() out from under rcu_node lock.

rcu_report_dead() is the last RCU word from the CPU down through the
hotplug path. It is called in the idle loop right before the CPU shuts
down for good. Because it removes the CPU from the grace period state
machine and reports an ultimate quiescent state if necessary, no further
use of RCU is allowed. Therefore it is expected that IRQs are disabled
upon calling this function and are not to be re-enabled again until the
CPU shuts down.
Remove the IRQs disablement from that function and verify instead that
it is actually called with IRQs disabled as it is expected at that
special point in the idle path.

Since the actual slab freeing is deferred when calling kvfree_rcu(), so
is the kmemleak_free() callback informing kmemleak of the object
deletion. From the perspective of the kvfree_rcu() caller, the object is
freed and it may remove any references to it. Since kmemleak does not
scan RCU internal data storing the pointer, it will report such objects
as leaks during the grace period.
Tell kmemleak to ignore such objects on the kvfree_call_rcu() path. Note
that the tiny RCU implementation does not have such issue since the
objects can be tracked from the rcu_ctrlblk structure.

When using rcutorture as a module, there are a number of conditions that
can abort the modprobe operation, for example, when attempting to run
both RCU CPU stall warning tests and forward-progress tests. This can
cause rcu_torture_cleanup() to be invoked on the unwind path out of
rcu_rcu_torture_init(), which will mean that rcu_gp_slow_unregister()
is invoked without a matching rcu_gp_slow_register(). This will cause
a splat because rcu_gp_slow_unregister() is passed rcu_fwd_cb_nodelay,
which does not match a NULL pointer.
This commit therefore forgives a mismatch involving a NULL pointer, thus
avoiding this false-positive splat.

When a structure containing an RCU callback rhp is (incorrectly) freed
and reallocated after rhp is passed to call_rcu(), it is not unusual for
rhp->func to be set to NULL. This defeats the debugging prints used by
__call_rcu_common() in kernels built with CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_RCU_HEAD=y,
which expect to identify the offending code using the identity of this
function.
And in kernels build without CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_RCU_HEAD=y, things
are even worse, as can be seen from this splat:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0
... ...
PC is at 0x0
LR is at rcu_do_batch+0x1c0/0x3b8
... ...
(rcu_do_batch) from (rcu_core+0x1d4/0x284)
(rcu_core) from (__do_softirq+0x24c/0x344)
(__do_softirq) from (__irq_exit_rcu+0x64/0x108)
(__irq_exit_rcu) from (irq_exit+0x8/0x10)
(irq_exit) from (__handle_domain_irq+0x74/0x9c)

(arch_cpu_idle) from (default_idle_call+0x4c/0x78)
(default_idle_call) from (do_idle+0xf8/0x150)
(do_idle) from (cpu_startup_entry+0x18/0x20)
(cpu_startup_entry) from (0xc01530)
This commit therefore adds calls to mem_dump_obj(rhp) to output some
information, for example:
slab kmalloc-256 start ffff410c45019900 pointer offset 0 size 256
This provides the rough size of the memory block and the offset of the
rcu_head structure, which as least provides at least a few clues to help
locate the problem. If the problem is reproducible, additional slab
debugging can be enabled, for example, CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB=y, which can
provide significantly more information.

When running a series of stress tests all making heavy use of RCU,
it is all too possible to OOM the system when the prior test's RCU
callbacks don't get invoked until after the subsequent test starts.
One way of handling this is just a timed wait, but this fails when a
given CPU has so many callbacks queued that they take longer to invoke
than allowed for by that timed wait.
This commit therefore adds an rcutree.do_rcu_barrier module parameter that
is accessible from sysfs. Writing one of the many synonyms for boolean
"true" will cause an rcu_barrier() to be invoked, but will guarantee that
no more than one rcu_barrier() will be invoked per sixteenth of a second
via this mechanism. The flip side is that a given request might wait a
second or three longer than absolutely necessary, but only when there are
multiple uses of rcutree.do_rcu_barrier within a one-second time interval.
This commit unnecessarily serializes the rcu_barrier() machinery, given
that serialization is already provided by procfs. This has the advantage
of allowing throttled rcu_barrier() from other sources within the kernel.

There are instances where rcu_cpu_stall_reset() is called when jiffies
did not get a chance to update for a long time. Before jiffies is
updated, the CPU stall detector can go off triggering false-positives
where a just-started grace period appears to be ages old. In the past,
we disabled stall detection in rcu_cpu_stall_reset() however this got
changed [1]. This is resulting in false-positives in KGDB usecase [2].
Fix this by deferring the update of jiffies to the third run of the FQS
loop. This is more robust, as, even if rcu_cpu_stall_reset() is called
just before jiffies is read, we would end up pushing out the jiffies
read by 3 more FQS loops. Meanwhile the CPU stall detection will be
delayed and we will not get any false positives.

The rcu_request_urgent_qs_task() function does a cross-CPU store
to ->rcu_urgent_qs, so this commit therefore marks the load in
__rcu_irq_enter_check_tick() with READ_ONCE().

The rcu_tasks_invoke_cbs() function relies on queue_work_on() to silently
fall back to WORK_CPU_UNBOUND when the specified CPU is offline. However,
the queue_work_on() function's silent fallback mechanism relies on that
CPU having been online at some time in the past. When queue_work_on()
is passed a CPU that has never been online, workqueue lockups ensue,
which can be bad for your kernel's general health and well-being.
This commit therefore checks whether a given CPU has ever been online,
and, if not substitutes WORK_CPU_UNBOUND in the subsequent call to
queue_work_on(). Why not simply omit the queue_work_on() call entirely?
Because this function is flooding callback-invocation notifications
to all CPUs, and must deal with possibilities that include a sparse
cpu_possible_mask.
This commit also moves the setting of the rcu_data structure's
->beenonline field to rcu_cpu_starting(), which executes on the
incoming CPU before that CPU has ever enabled interrupts. This ensures
that the required workqueues are present. In addition, because the
incoming CPU has not yet enabled its interrupts, there cannot yet have
been any softirq handlers running on this CPU, which means that the
WARN_ON_ONCE(!rdp->beenonline) within the RCU_SOFTIRQ handler cannot
have triggered yet.

Currently, rcu_cpu_starting() is written so that it might be invoked
with interrupts enabled. However, it is always called when interrupts
are disabled, either by rcu_init(), notify_cpu_starting(), or from a
call point prior to the call to notify_cpu_starting().
But why bother requiring that interrupts be disabled? The purpose is
to allow the rcu_data structure's ->beenonline flag to be set after all
early processing has completed for the incoming CPU, thus allowing this
flag to be used to determine when workqueues have been set up for the
incoming CPU, while still allowing this flag to be used as a diagnostic
within rcu_core().
This commit therefore makes rcu_cpu_starting() rely on interrupts being
disabled.

The rcu_data structure's ->rcu_cpu_has_work field can be modified by
any CPU attempting to wake up the rcuc kthread. Therefore, this commit
marks accesses to this field from the rcu_cpu_kthread() function.
This data race was reported by KCSAN. Not appropriate for backporting
due to failure being unlikely.

Currently, if there are more than 100 ready-to-invoke RCU callbacks queued
on a given CPU, the rcu_do_batch() function sets a timeout for invocation
of the series. This timeout defaulting to three milliseconds, and may
be adjusted using the rcutree.rcu_resched_ns kernel boot parameter.
This timeout is checked using local_clock(), but the overhead of this
function combined with the common-case very small callback-invocation
overhead means that local_clock() is checked every 32nd invocation.
This works well except for longer-than average callbacks. For example,
a series of 500-microsecond-duration callbacks means that local_clock()
is checked only once every 16 milliseconds, which makes it difficult to
enforce a three-millisecond timeout.
This commit therefore adds a Kconfig option RCU_DOUBLE_CHECK_CB_TIME
that enables backup timeout checking using the coarser grained but
lighter weight jiffies. If the jiffies counter detects a timeout,
then local_clock() is consulted even if this is not the 32nd callback.
This prevents the aforementioned 16-millisecond latency blow.

Currently, a callback-invocation time limit is enforced only for
callbacks invoked from the softirq environment, the rationale being
that when callbacks are instead invoked from rcuc and rcuoc kthreads,
these callbacks cannot be holding up other softirq vectors.
Which is in fact true. However, if an rcuc kthread spends too much time
invoking callbacks, it can delay quiescent-state reports from its CPU,
which can also be a problem.
This commit therefore applies the callback-invocation time limit to
callback invocation from the rcuc kthreads as well as from softirq.

If the rcutree.rcu_min_cached_objs kernel boot parameter is set to zero,
then krcp->page_cache_work will never be triggered to fill page cache.
In addition, the put_cached_bnode() will not fill page cache. As a
result krcp->bkvcache will always be empty, so there is no need to acquire
krcp->lock to get page from krcp->bkvcache. This commit therefore makes
drain_page_cache() return immediately if the rcu_min_cached_objs is zero.
