In kernels built with CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD=y, every grace
period is an expedited grace period. However, rcu_read_unlock_special()
does not treat them that way, instead allowing the deferred quiescent
state to be reported whenever. This commit therefore adds a check of
this Kconfig option that causes rcu_read_unlock_special() to treat all
grace periods as expedited for CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD=y kernels.

Currently, rcutorture refuses to test RCU priority boosting in
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y kernels, which are the only kind normally built on
x86 these days. This commit therefore updates rcutorture's tests of RCU
priority boosting to make them safe for CPU hotplug. However, these tests
will fail unless TIMER_SOFTIRQ runs at realtime priority, which does not
happen in current mainline. This commit therefore also refuses to test
RCU priority boosting except in kernels built with CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT=y.
While in the area, this commt adds some debug output at boost-fail time
that helps diagnose the cause of the failure, for example, failing to
run TIMER_SOFTIRQ at realtime priority.

Historically, a task that has been subjected to RCU priority boosting is
deboosted at rcu_read_unlock() time. However, with the advent of deferred
quiescent states, if the outermost rcu_read_unlock() was invoked with
either bottom halves, interrupts, or preemption disabled, the deboosting
will be delayed for some time. During this time, a low-priority process
might be incorrectly running at a high real-time priority level.
Fortunately, rcu_read_unlock_special() already provides mechanisms for
forcing a minimal deferral of quiescent states, at least for kernels
built with CONFIG_IRQ_WORK=y. These mechanisms are currently used
when expedited grace periods are pending that might be blocked by the
current task. This commit therefore causes those mechanisms to also be
used in cases where the current task has been or might soon be subjected
to RCU priority boosting. Note that this applies to all kernels built
with CONFIG_RCU_BOOST=y, regardless of whether or not they are also
built with CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT=y.
This approach assumes that kernels build for use with aggressive real-time
applications are built with CONFIG_IRQ_WORK=y. It is likely to be far
simpler to enable CONFIG_IRQ_WORK=y than to implement a fast-deboosting
scheme that works correctly in its absence.
While in the area, alphabetize the rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_handler()
function's local variables.

At the start of a CPU-hotplug operation, the incoming CPU's callback
list can be in a number of states:
1. Disabled and empty. This is the case when the boot CPU has
not invoked call_rcu(), when a non-boot CPU first comes online,
and when a non-offloaded CPU comes back online. In this case,
it is both necessary and permissible to initialize ->cblist.
Because either the CPU is currently running with interrupts
disabled (boot CPU) or is not yet running at all (other CPUs),
it is not necessary to acquire ->nocb_lock.
In this case, initialization is required.
2. Disabled and non-empty. This cannot occur, because early boot
call_rcu() invocations enable the callback list before enqueuing
their callback.
3. Enabled, whether empty or not. In this case, the callback
list has already been initialized. This case occurs when the
boot CPU has executed an early boot call_rcu() and also when
an offloaded CPU comes back online. In both cases, there is
no need to initialize the callback list: In the boot-CPU case,
the CPU has not (yet) gone offline, and in the offloaded case,
the rcuo kthreads are taking care of business.
Because it is not necessary to initialize the callback list,
it is also not necessary to acquire ->nocb_lock.
Therefore, checking if the segcblist is enabled suffices. This commit
therefore initializes the callback list at rcutree_prepare_cpu() time
only if that list is disabled.

The nocb_cb_wait() function first sets the rdp->nocb_cb_sleep flag to
true by after invoking the callbacks, and then sets it back to false if
it finds more callbacks that are ready to invoke.
This is confusing and will become unsafe if this flag is ever read
locklessly. This commit therefore writes it only once, based on the
state after both callback invocation and checking.

It makes no sense to de-offload an offline CPU because that CPU will never
invoke any remaining callbacks. It also makes little sense to offload an
offline CPU because any pending RCU callbacks were migrated when that CPU
went offline. Yes, it is in theory possible to use a number of tricks
to permit offloading and deoffloading offline CPUs in certain cases, but
in practice it is far better to have the simple and deterministic rule
"Toggling the offload state of an offline CPU is forbidden".
For but one example, consider that an offloaded offline CPU might have
millions of callbacks queued. Best to just say "no".
This commit therefore forbids toggling of the offloaded state of
offline CPUs.

Provide CONFIG_PROVE_RCU sanity checks to ensure we are always reading
the offloaded state of an rdp in a safe and stable way and prevent from

the cpu-hotplug lock (read or write) or the nocb lock.
Local non-preemptible reads are also safe. NOCB kthreads and timers have

Because kvfree_rcu() has a fallback path, memory allocation failure is
not the end of the world. Furthermore, the added overhead of aggressive
GFP settings must be balanced against the overhead of the fallback path,
which is a cache miss for double-argument kvfree_rcu() and a call to
synchronize_rcu() for single-argument kvfree_rcu(). The current choice
of GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_NOWARN can result in longer latencies than a call
to synchronize_rcu(), so less-tenacious GFP flags would be helpful.
Here is the tradeoff that must be balanced:
a) Minimize use of the fallback path,
b) Avoid pushing the system into OOM,
c) Bound allocation latency to that of synchronize_rcu(), and
d) Leave the emergency reserves to use cases lacking fallbacks.
This commit therefore changes GFP flags from GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_NOWARN to
GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_NORETRY|__GFP_NOMEMALLOC|__GFP_NOWARN. This combination
leaves the emergency reserves alone and can initiate reclaim, but will
not invoke the OOM killer.

__GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL can spend quite a bit of time reclaiming, and this
can be wasted effort given that there is a fallback code path in case
memory allocation fails.
__GFP_NORETRY does perform some light-weight reclaim, but it will fail
under OOM conditions, allowing the fallback to be taken as an alternative
to hard-OOMing the system.
There is a four-way tradeoff that must be balanced:
1) Minimize use of the fallback path;
2) Avoid full-up OOM;
3) Do a light-wait allocation request;
4) Avoid dipping into the emergency reserves.

Single-argument kvfree_rcu() must be invoked from sleepable contexts,
so we can directly allocate pages. Furthermmore, the fallback in case
of page-allocation failure is the high-latency synchronize_rcu(), so it
makes sense to do these page allocations from the fastpath, and even to
permit limited sleeping within the allocator.
This commit therefore allocates if needed on the fastpath using
GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL. This also has the beneficial effect
of leaving kvfree_rcu()'s per-CPU caches to the double-argument variant
of kvfree_rcu(), given that the double-argument variant cannot directly
invoke the allocator.

The condition in the trace_rcu_grace_period() in rcutree_dying_cpu() is
backwards, so that it uses the string "cpuofl" when the offline CPU is
blocking the current grace period and "cpuofl-bgp" otherwise. Given that
the "-bgp" stands for "blocking grace period", this is at best misleading.
This commit therefore switches these strings in order to correctly trace
whether the outgoing cpu blocks the current grace period.

With the core bitmap support now accepting "N" as a placeholder for

advantage of not being specific to RCU (or any other subsystem).
So deprecate the use of "all" by removing documentation references

know how many people out there are using it currently, but since it

- Core scheduler updates:
- Add CONFIG_PREEMPT_DYNAMIC: this in its current form adds the
preempt=none/voluntary/full boot options (default: full),
to allow distros to build a PREEMPT kernel but fall back to
close to PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY (or PREEMPT_NONE) runtime scheduling
behavior via a boot time selection.
There's also the /debug/sched_debug switch to do this runtime.
This feature is implemented via runtime patching (a new variant of static calls).
The scope of the runtime patching can be best reviewed by looking
at the sched_dynamic_update() function in kernel/sched/core.c.
( Note that the dynamic none/voluntary mode isn't 100% identical,
for example preempt-RCU is available in all cases, plus the
preempt count is maintained in all models, which has runtime
overhead even with the code patching. )
The PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY/PREEMPT_NONE models, used by the vast majority
of distributions, are supposed to be unaffected.
- Fix ignored rescheduling after rcu_eqs_enter(). This is a bug that
was found via rcutorture triggering a hang. The bug is that
rcu_idle_enter() may wake up a NOCB kthread, but this happens after
the last generic need_resched() check. Some cpuidle drivers fix it
by chance but many others don't.
In true 2020 fashion the original bug fix has grown into a 5-patch
scheduler/RCU fix series plus another 16 RCU patches to address
the underlying issue of missed preemption events. These are the
initial fixes that should fix current incarnations of the bug.
- Clean up rbtree usage in the scheduler, by providing & using the following
consistent set of rbtree APIs:
partial-order; less() based:
- rb_add(): add a new entry to the rbtree
- rb_add_cached(): like rb_add(), but for a rb_root_cached
total-order; cmp() based:
- rb_find(): find an entry in an rbtree
- rb_find_add(): find an entry, and add if not found
- rb_find_first(): find the first (leftmost) matching entry
- rb_next_match(): continue from rb_find_first()
- rb_for_each(): iterate a sub-tree using the previous two
- Improve the SMP/NUMA load-balancer: scan for an idle sibling in a single pass.
This is a 4-commit series where each commit improves one aspect of the idle
sibling scan logic.
- Improve the cpufreq cooling driver by getting the effective CPU utilization
metrics from the scheduler
- Improve the fair scheduler's active load-balancing logic by reducing the number
of active LB attempts & lengthen the load-balancing interval. This improves
stress-ng mmapfork performance.
- Fix CFS's estimated utilization (util_est) calculation bug that can result in
too high utilization values
- Misc updates & fixes:
- Fix the HRTICK reprogramming & optimization feature
- Fix SCHED_SOFTIRQ raising race & warning in the CPU offlining code
- Reduce dl_add_task_root_domain() overhead
- Fix uprobes refcount bug
- Process pending softirqs in flush_smp_call_function_from_idle()
- Clean up task priority related defines, remove *USER_*PRIO and
USER_PRIO()
- Simplify the sched_init_numa() deduplication sort
- Documentation updates
- Fix EAS bug in update_misfit_status(), which degraded the quality
of energy-balancing

the last generic need_resched() check. Some cpuidle drivers fix it
by chance but many others don't.
In true 2020 fashion the original bug fix has grown into a 5-patch
scheduler/RCU fix series plus another 16 RCU patches to address the
underlying issue of missed preemption events. These are the initial
fixes that should fix current incarnations of the bug.
- Clean up rbtree usage in the scheduler, by providing & using the
following consistent set of rbtree APIs:
partial-order; less() based:
- rb_add(): add a new entry to the rbtree
- rb_add_cached(): like rb_add(), but for a rb_root_cached
total-order; cmp() based:
- rb_find(): find an entry in an rbtree
- rb_find_add(): find an entry, and add if not found
- rb_find_first(): find the first (leftmost) matching entry
- rb_next_match(): continue from rb_find_first()
- rb_for_each(): iterate a sub-tree using the previous two
- Improve the SMP/NUMA load-balancer: scan for an idle sibling in a
single pass. This is a 4-commit series where each commit improves
one aspect of the idle sibling scan logic.
- Improve the cpufreq cooling driver by getting the effective CPU
utilization metrics from the scheduler
- Improve the fair scheduler's active load-balancing logic by
reducing the number of active LB attempts & lengthen the
load-balancing interval. This improves stress-ng mmapfork
performance.
- Fix CFS's estimated utilization (util_est) calculation bug that can
result in too high utilization values
Misc updates & fixes:
- Fix the HRTICK reprogramming & optimization feature
- Fix SCHED_SOFTIRQ raising race & warning in the CPU offlining code
- Reduce dl_add_task_root_domain() overhead
- Fix uprobes refcount bug
- Process pending softirqs in flush_smp_call_function_from_idle()
- Clean up task priority related defines, remove *USER_*PRIO and
USER_PRIO()
- Simplify the sched_init_numa() deduplication sort
- Documentation updates
- Fix EAS bug in update_misfit_status(), which degraded the quality
of energy-balancing
- Smaller cleanups"

Entering RCU idle mode may cause a deferred wake up of an RCU NOCB_GP
kthread (rcuog) to be serviced.
Unfortunately the call to rcu_user_enter() is already past the last
rescheduling opportunity before we resume to userspace or to guest mode.
We may escape there with the woken task ignored.
The ultimate resort to fix every callsites is to trigger a self-IPI
(nohz_full depends on arch to implement arch_irq_work_raise()) that will
trigger a reschedule on IRQ tail or guest exit.
Eventually every site that want a saner treatment will need to carefully
place a call to rcu_nocb_flush_deferred_wakeup() before the last explicit
need_resched() check upon resume.

Entering RCU idle mode may cause a deferred wake up of an RCU NOCB_GP
kthread (rcuog) to be serviced.
Usually a local wake up happening while running the idle task is handled
in one of the need_resched() checks carefully placed within the idle
loop that can break to the scheduler.
Unfortunately the call to rcu_idle_enter() is already beyond the last
generic need_resched() check and we may halt the CPU with a resched
request unhandled, leaving the task hanging.
Fix this with splitting the rcuog wakeup handling from rcu_idle_enter()
and place it before the last generic need_resched() check in the idle
loop. It is then assumed that no call to call_rcu() will be performed
after that in the idle loop until the CPU is put in low power mode.

The debug-object double-free checks in __call_rcu() print out the
RCU callback function, which is usually sufficient to track down the
double free. However, all uses of things like queue_rcu_work() will
have the same RCU callback function (rcu_work_rcufn() in this case),
so a diagnostic message for a double queue_rcu_work() needs more than
just the callback function.
This commit therefore calls mem_dump_obj() to dump out any additional
available information on the double-freed callback.

The TREE01 rcutorture scenario intentionally creates confusion as to the
number of available CPUs by specifying the "maxcpus=8 nr_cpus=43" kernel
boot parameters. This can disable rcutorture's load shedding, which
currently uses num_online_cpus(), which would count the extra 35 CPUs.
However, the rcutorture guest OS will be provisioned with only 8 CPUs,
which means that rcutorture will present full load even when all but one
of the original 8 CPUs are offline. This can result in spurious errors
due to extreme overloading of that single remaining CPU.
This commit therefore keeps a separate set of books on the number of
usable online CPUs, so that torture_num_online_cpus() is used for load
shedding instead of num_online_cpus(). Note that initial sizing must
use num_online_cpus() because torture_num_online_cpus() will return
NR_CPUS until shortly after torture_onoff_init() is invoked.

burns CPU time, so this commit instead uses torture_hrtimeout_jiffies()

for this by making the synctype[] and nsynctype variables be static

Currently, the rcu_torture_writer() function checks that all required
grace periods elapse during a stutter interval, which is a multi-second
time period during which the test load is removed. However, this check
is suppressed during early boot (that is, before init is spawned) in
order to avoid false positives that otherwise occur due to heavy load
on the single boot CPU.
Unfortunately, this approach is insufficient. It is possible that the
stutter interval might end just as init is spawned, so that early boot
conditions prevailed during almost the entire stutter interval.
This commit therefore takes a snapshot of boot-complete state just
before the stutter interval, thus suppressing the check for failure to
complete grace periods unless the entire stutter interval took place
after early boot.

For a new grace period request, the RCU GP kthread transitions through
following states:
a. [RCU_GP_WAIT_GPS] -> [RCU_GP_DONE_GPS]
The RCU_GP_WAIT_GPS state is where the GP kthread waits for a request
for a new GP. Once it receives a request (for example, when a new RCU
callback is queued), the GP kthread transitions to RCU_GP_DONE_GPS.
b. [RCU_GP_DONE_GPS] -> [RCU_GP_ONOFF]
Grace period initialization starts in rcu_gp_init(), which records the
start of new GP in rcu_state.gp_seq and transitions to RCU_GP_ONOFF.
c. [RCU_GP_ONOFF] -> [RCU_GP_INIT]
The purpose of the RCU_GP_ONOFF state is to apply the online/offline
information that was buffered for any CPUs that recently came online or
went offline. This state is maintained in per-leaf rcu_node bitmasks,
with the buffered state in ->qsmaskinitnext and the state for the upcoming
GP in ->qsmaskinit. At the end of this RCU_GP_ONOFF state, each bit in
->qsmaskinit will correspond to a CPU that must pass through a quiescent
state before the upcoming grace period is allowed to complete.
However, a leaf rcu_node structure with an all-zeroes ->qsmaskinit
cannot necessarily be ignored. In preemptible RCU, there might well be
tasks still in RCU read-side critical sections that were first preempted
while running on one of the CPUs managed by this structure. Such tasks
will be queued on this structure's ->blkd_tasks list. Only after this
list fully drains can this leaf rcu_node structure be ignored, and even
then only if none of its CPUs have come back online in the meantime.
Once that happens, the ->qsmaskinit masks further up the tree will be
updated to exclude this leaf rcu_node structure.
Once the ->qsmaskinitnext and ->qsmaskinit fields have been updated
as needed, the GP kthread transitions to RCU_GP_INIT.
d. [RCU_GP_INIT] -> [RCU_GP_WAIT_FQS]
The purpose of the RCU_GP_INIT state is to copy each ->qsmaskinit to
the ->qsmask field within each rcu_node structure. This copying is done
breadth-first from the root to the leaves. Why not just copy directly
from ->qsmaskinitnext to ->qsmask? Because the ->qsmaskinitnext masks
can change in the meantime as additional CPUs come online or go offline.
Such changes would result in inconsistencies in the ->qsmask fields up and
down the tree, which could in turn result in too-short grace periods or
grace-period hangs. These issues are avoided by snapshotting the leaf
rcu_node structures' ->qsmaskinitnext fields into their ->qsmaskinit
counterparts, generating a consistent set of ->qsmaskinit fields
throughout the tree, and only then copying these consistent ->qsmaskinit
fields to their ->qsmask counterparts.
Once this initialization step is complete, the GP kthread transitions
to RCU_GP_WAIT_FQS, where it waits to do a force-quiescent-state scan
on the one hand or for the end of the grace period on the other.
e. [RCU_GP_WAIT_FQS] -> [RCU_GP_DOING_FQS]
The RCU_GP_WAIT_FQS state waits for one of three things: (1) An
explicit request to do a force-quiescent-state scan, (2) The end of
the grace period, or (3) A short interval of time, after which it
will do a force-quiescent-state (FQS) scan. The explicit request can
come from rcutorture or from any CPU that has too many RCU callbacks
queued (see the qhimark kernel parameter and the RCU_GP_FLAG_OVLD
flag). The aforementioned "short period of time" is specified by the
jiffies_till_first_fqs boot parameter for a given grace period's first
FQS scan and by the jiffies_till_next_fqs for later FQS scans.
Either way, once the wait is over, the GP kthread transitions to
RCU_GP_DOING_FQS.
f. [RCU_GP_DOING_FQS] -> [RCU_GP_CLEANUP]
The RCU_GP_DOING_FQS state performs an FQS scan. Each such scan carries
out two functions for any CPU whose bit is still set in its leaf rcu_node
structure's ->qsmask field, that is, for any CPU that has not yet reported
a quiescent state for the current grace period:
i. Report quiescent states on behalf of CPUs that have been observed
to be idle (from an RCU perspective) since the beginning of the
grace period.
ii. If the current grace period is too old, take various actions to
encourage holdout CPUs to pass through quiescent states, including
enlisting the aid of any calls to cond_resched() and might_sleep(),
and even including IPIing the holdout CPUs.
These checks are skipped for any leaf rcu_node structure with a all-zero
->qsmask field, however such structures are subject to RCU priority
boosting if there are tasks on a given structure blocking the current
grace period. The end of the grace period is detected when the root
rcu_node structure's ->qsmask is zero and when there are no longer any
preempted tasks blocking the current grace period. (No, this last check
is not redundant. To see this, consider an rcu_node tree having exactly
one structure that serves as both root and leaf.)
Once the end of the grace period is detected, the GP kthread transitions
to RCU_GP_CLEANUP.
g. [RCU_GP_CLEANUP] -> [RCU_GP_CLEANED]
The RCU_GP_CLEANUP state marks the end of grace period by updating the
rcu_state structure's ->gp_seq field and also all rcu_node structures'
->gp_seq field. As before, the rcu_node tree is traversed in breadth
first order. Once this update is complete, the GP kthread transitions
to the RCU_GP_CLEANED state.
i. [RCU_GP_CLEANED] -> [RCU_GP_INIT]
Once in the RCU_GP_CLEANED state, the GP kthread immediately transitions
into the RCU_GP_INIT state.
j. The role of timers.
If there is at least one idle CPU, and if timers are not firing, the
transition from RCU_GP_DOING_FQS to RCU_GP_CLEANUP will never happen.
Timers can fail to fire for a number of reasons, including issues in
timer configuration, issues in the timer framework, and failure to handle
softirqs (for example, when there is a storm of interrupts). Whatever the
reason, if the timers fail to fire, the GP kthread will never be awakened,
resulting in RCU CPU stall warnings and eventually in OOM.
However, an RCU CPU stall warning has a large number of potential causes,
as documented in Documentation/RCU/stallwarn.rst. This commit therefore
adds analysis to the RCU CPU stall-warning code to emit an additional
message if the cause of the stall is likely to be timer failure.

Because the need to wake a nocb GP kthread ("rcuog") is sometimes
detected when wakeups cannot be done, these wakeups can be deferred.
The wakeups are then carried out by calls to do_nocb_deferred_wakeup()
at various safe points in the code, including RCU's idle hooks. However,
when a CPU goes offline, it invokes arch_cpu_idle_dead() without invoking
any of RCU's idle hooks.
This commit therefore adds a call to do_nocb_deferred_wakeup() in
rcu_report_dead() in order to handle any deferred wakeups that have been

To re-offload the callback processing off of a CPU, it is necessary to
clear SEGCBLIST_SOFTIRQ_ONLY, set SEGCBLIST_OFFLOADED, and then notify
both the CB and GP kthreads so that they both set their own bit flag and
start processing the callbacks remotely. The re-offloading worker is
then notified that it can stop the RCU_SOFTIRQ handler (or rcuc kthread,
as the case may be) from processing the callbacks locally.
Ordering must be carefully enforced so that the callbacks that used to be
processed locally without locking will have the same ordering properties
when they are invoked by the nocb CB and GP kthreads.

Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org>
To de-offload callback processing back onto a CPU, it is necessary
to clear SEGCBLIST_OFFLOAD and notify the nocb GP kthread, which will
then clear its own bit flag and ignore this CPU until further notice.
Whichever of the nocb CB and nocb GP kthreads is last to clear its own
bit notifies the de-offloading worker kthread. Once notified, this
worker kthread can proceed safe in the knowledge that the nocb CB and
GP kthreads will no longer be manipulating this CPU's RCU callback list.
This commit makes this change.

Offloaded CPUs do not migrate their callbacks, instead relying on
their rcuo kthread to invoke them. But if the CPU is offline, it
will be running neither its RCU_SOFTIRQ handler nor its rcuc kthread.
This means that de-offloading an offline CPU that still has pending
callbacks will strand those callbacks. This commit therefore refuses
to toggle offline CPUs having pending callbacks.

How the rdp->cblist enabled state is treated at CPU-hotplug time depends
on whether or not that ->cblist is offloaded.
1) Not offloaded: The ->cblist is disabled when the CPU goes down. All
its callbacks are migrated and none can to enqueued until after some
later CPU-hotplug operation brings the CPU back up.
2) Offloaded: The ->cblist is not disabled on CPU down because the CB/GP
kthreads must finish invoking the remaining callbacks. There is thus
no need to re-enable it on CPU up.
Since the ->cblist offloaded state is set in stone at boot, it cannot
change between CPU down and CPU up. So 1) and 2) are symmetrical.
However, given runtime toggling of the offloaded state, there are two
additional asymmetrical scenarios:
3) The ->cblist is not offloaded when the CPU goes down. The ->cblist
is later toggled to offloaded and then the CPU comes back up.
4) The ->cblist is offloaded when the CPU goes down. The ->cblist is
later toggled to no longer be offloaded and then the CPU comes back up.
Scenario 4) is currently handled correctly. The ->cblist remains enabled
on CPU down and gets re-initialized on CPU up. The toggling operation
will wait until ->cblist is empty, so ->cblist will remain empty until
CPU-up time.
The scenario 3) would run into trouble though, as the rdp is disabled
on CPU down and not re-initialized/re-enabled on CPU up. Except that
in this case, ->cblist is guaranteed to be empty because all its
callbacks were migrated away at CPU-down time. And the CPU-up code
already initializes and enables any empty ->cblist structures in order
to handle the possibility of early-boot invocations of call_rcu() in
the case where such invocations don't occur. So all that need be done
is to adjust the locking.

Offloading and de-offloading RCU callback processes must be done
carefully. There must never be a time at which callback processing is
disabled because the task driving the offloading or de-offloading might be
preempted or otherwise stalled at that point in time, which would result
in OOM due to calbacks piling up indefinitely. This implies that there
will be times during which a given CPU's callbacks might be concurrently
invoked by both that CPU's RCU_SOFTIRQ handler (or, equivalently, that
CPU's rcuc kthread) and by that CPU's rcuo kthread.
This situation could fatally confuse both rcu_barrier() and the
CPU-hotplug offlining process, so these must be excluded during any
concurrent-callback-invocation period. In addition, during times of
concurrent callback invocation, changes to ->cblist must be protected
both as needed for RCU_SOFTIRQ and as needed for the rcuo kthread.
This commit therefore defines and documents the states for a state
machine that coordinates offloading and deoffloading.

Expedited RCU grace periods send IPIs to all non-idle CPUs, and thus can

is a portion of boot-time processing (presumably before any real-time

This commit therefore makes the post-boot application environment safe
for real-time applications by making PREEMPT_RT systems disable the
rcupdate.rcu_normal_after_boot kernel boot parameter and acting as

The rcu_do_batch() function extracts the ready-to-invoke callbacks
from the rcu_segcblist located in the ->cblist field of the current
CPU's rcu_data structure. These callbacks are first moved to a local
(unsegmented) rcu_cblist. The rcu_do_batch() function then uses this
rcu_cblist's ->len field to count how many CBs it has invoked, but it
does so by counting that field down from zero. Finally, this function
negates the value in this ->len field (resulting in a positive number)
and subtracts the result from the ->len field of the current CPU's
->cblist field.
Except that it is sometimes necessary for rcu_do_batch() to stop invoking
callbacks mid-stream, despite there being more ready to invoke, for
example, if a high-priority task wakes up. In this case the remaining
not-yet-invoked callbacks are requeued back onto the CPU's ->cblist,
but remain in the ready-to-invoke segment of that list. As above, the
negative of the local rcu_cblist's ->len field is still subtracted from
the ->len field of the current CPU's ->cblist field.
The design of counting down from 0 is confusing and error-prone, plus
use of a positive count will make it easier to provide a uniform and
consistent API to deal with the per-segment counts that are added
later in this series. For example, rcu_segcblist_extract_done_cbs()
can unconditionally populate the resulting unsegmented list's ->len
field during extraction.
This commit therefore explicitly counts how many callbacks were executed
in rcu_do_batch() itself, counting up from zero, and then uses that
to update the per-CPU segcb list's ->len field, without relying on the
downcounting of rcl->len from zero.

The current memmory-allocation interface causes the following difficulties
for kvfree_rcu():
a) If built with CONFIG_PROVE_RAW_LOCK_NESTING, the lockdep will
complain about violation of the nesting rules, as in "BUG: Invalid
wait context". This Kconfig option checks for proper raw_spinlock
vs. spinlock nesting, in particular, it is not legal to acquire a
spinlock_t while holding a raw_spinlock_t.
This is a problem because kfree_rcu() uses raw_spinlock_t whereas the
"page allocator" internally deals with spinlock_t to access to its
zones. The code also can be broken from higher level of view:
<snip>
raw_spin_lock(&some_lock);
kfree_rcu(some_pointer, some_field_offset);
<snip>
b) If built with CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT, spinlock_t is converted into
sleeplock. This means that invoking the page allocator from atomic
contexts results in "BUG: scheduling while atomic".
c) Please note that call_rcu() is already invoked from raw atomic context,
so it is only reasonable to expaect that kfree_rcu() and kvfree_rcu()
will also be called from atomic raw context.
This commit therefore defers page allocation to a clean context using the
combination of an hrtimer and a workqueue. The hrtimer stage is required
in order to avoid deadlocks with the scheduler. This deferred allocation
is required only when kvfree_rcu()'s per-CPU page cache is empty.

An outgoing CPU is marked offline in a stop-machine handler and most
of that CPU's services stop at that point, including IRQ work queues.
However, that CPU must take another pass through the scheduler and through
a number of CPU-hotplug notifiers, many of which contain RCU readers.
In the past, these readers were not a problem because the outgoing CPU
has interrupts disabled, so that rcu_read_unlock_special() would not
be invoked, and thus RCU would never attempt to queue IRQ work on the
outgoing CPU.
This changed with the advent of the CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD
Kconfig option, in which rcu_read_unlock_special() is invoked upon exit
from almost all RCU read-side critical sections. Worse yet, because
interrupts are disabled, rcu_read_unlock_special() cannot immediately
report a quiescent state and will therefore attempt to defer this
reporting, for example, by queueing IRQ work. Which fails with a splat
because the CPU is already marked as being offline.
But it turns out that there is no need to report this quiescent state
because rcu_report_dead() will do this job shortly after the outgoing
CPU makes its final dive into the idle loop. This commit therefore
makes rcu_read_unlock_special() refrain from queuing IRQ work onto
outgoing CPUs.

The rcu_cpu_starting() and rcu_report_dead() functions transition the
current CPU between online and offline state from an RCU perspective.
Unfortunately, this means that the rcu_cpu_starting() function's lock
acquisition and the rcu_report_dead() function's lock releases happen
while the CPU is offline from an RCU perspective, which can result
in lockdep-RCU splats about using RCU from an offline CPU. And this
situation can also result in too-short grace periods, especially in
guest OSes that are subject to vCPU preemption.
This commit therefore uses sequence-count-like synchronization to forgive
use of RCU while RCU thinks a CPU is offline across the full extent of
the rcu_cpu_starting() and rcu_report_dead() function's lock acquisitions
and releases.
One approach would have been to use the actual sequence-count primitives
provided by the Linux kernel. Unfortunately, the resulting code looks
completely broken and wrong, and is likely to result in patches that
break RCU in an attempt to address this appearance of broken wrongness.
Plus there is no net savings in lines of code, given the additional
explicit memory barriers required.
Therefore, this sequence count is instead implemented by a new ->ofl_seq
field in the rcu_node structure. If this counter's value is an odd
number, RCU forgives RCU read-side critical sections on other CPUs covered
by the same rcu_node structure, even if those CPUs are offline from
an RCU perspective. In addition, if a given leaf rcu_node structure's
->ofl_seq counter value is an odd number, rcu_gp_init() delays starting
the grace period until that counter value changes.

Testing showed that rcu_pending() can return 1 when offloaded callbacks
are ready to execute. This invokes RCU core processing, for example,
by raising RCU_SOFTIRQ, eventually resulting in a call to rcu_core().
However, rcu_core() explicitly avoids in any way manipulating offloaded
callbacks, which are instead handled by the rcuog and rcuoc kthreads,
which work independently of rcu_core().
One exception to this independence is that rcu_core() invokes
do_nocb_deferred_wakeup(), however, rcu_pending() also checks
rcu_nocb_need_deferred_wakeup() in order to correctly handle this case,
invoking rcu_core() when needed.
This commit therefore avoids needlessly invoking RCU core processing
by checking rcu_segcblist_ready_cbs() only on non-offloaded CPUs.
This reduces overhead, for example, by reducing softirq activity.
This change passed 30 minute tests of TREE01 through TREE09 each.
On TREE08, there is at most 150us from the time that rcu_pending() chose
not to invoke RCU core processing to the time when the ready callbacks
were invoked by the rcuoc kthread. This provides further evidence that
there is no need to invoke rcu_core() for offloaded callbacks that are
ready to invoke.

Currently, rcu_cpu_starting() checks to see if the RCU core expects a
quiescent state from the incoming CPU. However, the current interaction
between RCU quiescent-state reporting and CPU-hotplug operations should
mean that the incoming CPU never needs to report a quiescent state.
First, the outgoing CPU reports a quiescent state if needed. Second,
the race where the CPU is leaving just as RCU is initializing a new
grace period is handled by an explicit check for this condition. Third,
the CPU's leaf rcu_node structure's ->lock serializes these checks.
This means that if rcu_cpu_starting() ever feels the need to report
a quiescent state, then there is a bug somewhere in the CPU hotplug
code or the RCU grace-period handling code. This commit therefore
adds a WARN_ON_ONCE() to bring that bug to everyone's attention.

Currently, for CONFIG_PREEMPTION=n kernels, rcu_blocking_is_gp() uses
num_online_cpus() to determine whether there is only one CPU online. When
there is only a single CPU online, the simple fact that synchronize_rcu()
could be legally called implies that a full grace period has elapsed.
Therefore, in the single-CPU case, synchronize_rcu() simply returns
immediately. Unfortunately, num_online_cpus() is unreliable while a
CPU-hotplug operation is transitioning to or from single-CPU operation
because:
1. num_online_cpus() uses atomic_read(&__num_online_cpus) to
locklessly sample the number of online CPUs. The hotplug locks
are not held, which means that an incoming CPU can concurrently
update this count. This in turn means that an RCU read-side
critical section on the incoming CPU might observe updates
prior to the grace period, but also that this critical section
might extend beyond the end of the optimized synchronize_rcu().
This breaks RCU's fundamental guarantee.
2. In addition, num_online_cpus() does no ordering, thus providing
another way that RCU's fundamental guarantee can be broken by
the current code.
3. The most probable failure mode happens on outgoing CPUs.
The outgoing CPU updates the count of online CPUs in the
CPUHP_TEARDOWN_CPU stop-machine handler, which is fine in
and of itself due to preemption being disabled at the call
to num_online_cpus(). Unfortunately, after that stop-machine
handler returns, the CPU takes one last trip through the
scheduler (which has RCU readers) and, after the resulting
context switch, one final dive into the idle loop. During this
time, RCU needs to keep track of two CPUs, but num_online_cpus()
will say that there is only one, which in turn means that the
surviving CPU will incorrectly ignore the outgoing CPU's RCU
read-side critical sections.
This problem is illustrated by the following litmus test in which P0()
corresponds to synchronize_rcu() and P1() corresponds to the incoming CPU.
The herd7 tool confirms that the "exists" clause can be satisfied,
thus demonstrating that this breakage can happen according to the Linux
kernel memory model.
{
int x = 0;
atomic_t numonline = ATOMIC_INIT(1);
}
P0(int *x, atomic_t *numonline)
{
int r0;
WRITE_ONCE(*x, 1);
r0 = atomic_read(numonline);
if (r0 == 1) {
smp_mb();
} else {
synchronize_rcu();
}
WRITE_ONCE(*x, 2);
}
P1(int *x, atomic_t *numonline)
{
int r0; int r1;
atomic_inc(numonline);
smp_mb();
rcu_read_lock();
r0 = READ_ONCE(*x);
smp_rmb();
r1 = READ_ONCE(*x);
rcu_read_unlock();
}
locations [x;numonline;]
exists (1:r0=0 /\ 1:r1=2)
It is important to note that these problems arise only when the system
is transitioning to or from single-CPU operation.
One solution would be to hold the CPU-hotplug locks while sampling
num_online_cpus(), which was in fact the intent of the (redundant)
preempt_disable() and preempt_enable() surrounding this call to
num_online_cpus(). Actually blocking CPU hotplug would not only result
in excessive overhead, but would also unnecessarily impede CPU-hotplug
operations.
This commit therefore follows long-standing RCU tradition by maintaining
a separate RCU-specific set of CPU-hotplug books.
This separate set of books is implemented by a new ->n_online_cpus field
in the rcu_state structure that maintains RCU's count of the online CPUs.
This count is incremented early in the CPU-online process, so that
the critical transition away from single-CPU operation will occur when
there is only a single CPU. Similarly for the critical transition to
single-CPU operation, the counter is decremented late in the CPU-offline
process, again while there is only a single CPU. Because there is only
ever a single CPU when the ->n_online_cpus field undergoes the critical
1->2 and 2->1 transitions, full memory ordering and mutual exclusion is
provided implicitly and, better yet, for free.
In the case where the CPU is coming online, nothing will happen until
the current CPU helps it come online. Therefore, the new CPU will see
all accesses prior to the optimized grace period, which means that RCU
does not need to further delay this new CPU. In the case where the CPU
is going offline, the outgoing CPU is totally out of the picture before
the optimized grace period starts, which means that this outgoing CPU
cannot see any of the accesses following that grace period. Again,
RCU needs no further interaction with the outgoing CPU.
This does mean that synchronize_rcu() will unnecessarily do a few grace
periods the hard way just before the second CPU comes online and just
after the second-to-last CPU goes offline, but it is not worth optimizing
this uncommon case.

Pull RCU fix from Paul McKenney:
"A single commit that fixes a bug that was introduced a couple of merge
windows ago, but which rather more recently converged to an
agreed-upon fix. The bug is that interrupts can be incorrectly enabled
while holding an irq-disabled spinlock. This can of course result in
self-deadlocks.
The bug is a bit difficult to trigger. It requires that a preempted
task be blocking a preemptible-RCU grace period long enough to trigger
an RCU CPU stall warning. In addition, an interrupt must occur at just
the right time, and that interrupt's handler must acquire that same
irq-disabled spinlock. Still, a deadlock is a deadlock.
Furthermore, we do now have a fix, and that fix survives kernel test
robot, -next, and rcutorture testing. It has also been verified by
Sebastian as fixing the bug. Therefore..."

The try_invoke_on_locked_down_task() function requires that
interrupts be enabled, but it is called with interrupts disabled from
rcu_print_task_stall(), resulting in an "IRQs not enabled as expected"
diagnostic. This commit therefore updates rcu_print_task_stall()
to accumulate a list of the first few tasks while holding the current
leaf rcu_node structure's ->lock, then releases that lock and only then
uses try_invoke_on_locked_down_task() to attempt to obtain per-task
detailed information. Of course, as soon as ->lock is released, the
task might exit, so the get_task_struct() function is used to prevent
the task structure from going away in the meantime.

Commit ce3d31ad3c ("arm64/smp: Move rcu_cpu_starting() earlier") ensured
that RCU is informed early about incoming CPUs that might end up calling
into printk() before they are online. However, if such a CPU fails the
early CPU feature compatibility checks in check_local_cpu_capabilities(),
then it will be powered off or parked without informing RCU, leading to
an endless stream of stalls:
| rcu: INFO: rcu_preempt detected stalls on CPUs/tasks:
| rcu: 2-O...: (0 ticks this GP) idle=002/1/0x4000000000000000 softirq=0/0 fqs=2593
| (detected by 0, t=5252 jiffies, g=9317, q=136)

| task:swapper/2 state:R running task stack: 0 pid: 0 ppid: 1 flags:0x00000028
| Call trace:

Ensure that the dying CPU invokes rcu_report_dead() prior to being powered
off or parked.

Currently, the units of ->init_fract are milliseconds while those of
->gp_sleep are jiffies. For consistency with each other and with the
argument of schedule_timeout_idle(), this commit changes the units of
->init_fract to jiffies.
This change does affect the backoff algorithm, but only on systems where
HZ is not 1000, and even there the change makes more sense, given that the
current setup would "back off" to the same number of jiffies repeatedly.
In contrast, with this change, the number of jiffies waited increases
on each pass through the loop in the rcu_tasks_wait_gp() function.

If cur_ops->sync is NULL, rcu_torture_fwd_prog_nr() will nevertheless
attempt to call through it. This commit therefore flags cases where
neither need_resched() nor call_rcu() forward-progress testing
can be performed due to NULL function pointers, and also causes
rcu_torture_fwd_prog_nr() to take an early exit if cur_ops->sync()
is NULL.

Currently, stutter_wait() will happily spin waiting for the stutter
interval to end even if the caller is running at a real-time priority
level. This could starve normal-priority tasks for no good reason. This
commit therefore drops the calling task's priority to SCHED_OTHER MAX_NICE
if stutter_wait() needs to wait. But when it waits, stutter_wait()
returns true, which allows the caller to restore the priority if needed.
Callers that were already running at SCHED_OTHER MAX_NICE obviously
do not need any changes, but this commit also restores priority for
higher-priority callers.

If an rcutorture torture-test run is given a bad kvm.sh argument, the
test will complain to the console, which is good. What is bad is that
from the user's perspective, it will just hang for the time specified
by the --duration argument. This commit therefore forces an immediate
kernel shutdown if a rcu_torture_init()-time error occurs, thus avoiding
the appearance of a hang. It also forces a console splat in this case
to clearly indicate the presence of an error.

Currently, accessing /proc/cpuinfo sends IPIs to idle CPUs in order to
learn their clock frequency. Which is a bit strange, given that waking
them from idle likely significantly changes their clock frequency.
This commit therefore avoids sending /proc/cpuinfo-induced IPIs to
idle CPUs.

The default value for refscale.nreaders is -1, which results in the code
setting the value to three-quarters of the number of CPUs. On single-CPU
systems, this results in three-quarters of the value one, which the C
language's integer arithmetic rounds to zero. This in turn results in
a divide-by-zero error.
This commit therefore adds bounds checking to the refscale module
parameters, so that if they are less than one, they are set to the
value one.

At the end of the test and after rcu_torture_writer() stalls, rcutorture
invokes show_rcu_gp_kthreads() in order to dump out information on the
RCU grace-period kthread. This makes a lot of sense when testing vanilla
RCU, but not so much for the other flavors. This commit therefore allows
per-flavor kthread-dump functions to be specified.

The lockdep_is_held() macro is defined as:
#define lockdep_is_held(lock) lock_is_held(&(lock)->dep_map)
This hides away the dereference, so that builds with !LOCKDEP don't break.
This works in current kernels because the RCU_LOCKDEP_WARN() eliminates
its condition at preprocessor time in !LOCKDEP kernels. However, later
patches in this series will cause the compiler to see this condition even
in !LOCKDEP kernels. This commit prepares for this upcoming change by
switching from lock_is_held() to lockdep_is_held().

Some architectures assume that the stopped CPUs don't make function calls
to traceable functions when they are in the stopped state. See also commit
cb9d7fd51d ("watchdog: Mark watchdog touch functions as notrace").
Violating this assumption causes kernel crashes when switching tracer on
RISC-V.
Mark rcu_momentary_dyntick_idle() and stop_machine_yield() notrace to
prevent this.

Pull documentation updates from Mauro Carvalho Chehab:
"A series of patches addressing warnings produced by make htmldocs.
This includes:
- kernel-doc markup fixes
- ReST fixes
- Updates at the build system in order to support newer versions of
the docs build toolchain (Sphinx)
After this series, the number of html build warnings should reduce
significantly, and building with Sphinx 3.1 or later should now be
supported (although it is still recommended to use Sphinx 2.4.4).
As agreed with Jon, I should be sending you a late pull request by the
end of the merge window addressing remaining issues with docs build,
as there are a number of warning fixes that depends on pull requests
that should be happening along the merge window.
The end goal is to have a clean htmldocs build on Kernel 5.10.
PS. It should be noticed that Sphinx 3.0 is not currently supported,
as it lacks support for C domain namespaces. Such feature, needed in
order to document uAPI system calls with Sphinx 3.x, was added only on
Sphinx 3.1"

Daniel reports ~10Gbps => ~15Gbps single stream TCP performance gain.
Expand netlink policy support and improve policy export to user space.
(Ge)netlink core performs request validation according to declared

Allow more than 255 IPv4 multicast interfaces.
Add support for Type of Service (ToS) reflection in SYN/SYN-ACK
packets of TCPv6.

Support SMC-Dv2 version of SMC, which enables multi-subnet deployments.
Allow more calls to same peer in RxRPC.
Support two new Controller Area Network (CAN) protocols -
CAN-FD and ISO 15765-2:2016.
Add xfrm/IPsec compat layer, solving the 32bit user space on 64bit
kernel problem.
Add TC actions for implementing MPLS L2 VPNs.
Improve nexthop code - e.g. handle various corner cases when nexthop
objects are removed from groups better, skip unnecessary notifications
and make it easier to offload nexthops into HW by converting
to a blocking notifier.
Support adding and consuming TCP header options by BPF programs,
opening the doors for easy experimental and deployment-specific
TCP option use.
Reorganize TCP congestion control (CC) initialization to simplify life
of TCP CC implemented in BPF.
Add support for shipping BPF programs with the kernel and loading them
early on boot via the User Mode Driver mechanism, hence reusing all the
user space infra we have.
Support sleepable BPF programs, initially targeting LSM and tracing.
Add bpf_d_path() helper for returning full path for given 'struct path'.
Make bpf_tail_call compatible with bpf-to-bpf calls.
Allow BPF programs to call map_update_elem on sockmaps.

well as support for using BTF within the kernel itself (current use
is for pretty printing structures).
Support listing and getting information about bpf_links via the bpf
syscall.
Enhance kernel interfaces around NIC firmware update. Allow specifying
overwrite mask to control if settings etc. are reset during update;
report expected max time operation may take to users; support firmware
activation without machine reboot incl. limits of how much impact
reset may have (e.g. dropping link or not).
Extend ethtool configuration interface to report IEEE-standard
counters, to limit the need for per-vendor logic in user space.
Adopt or extend devlink use for debug, monitoring, fw update
in many drivers (dsa loop, ice, ionic, sja1105, qed, mlxsw,
mv88e6xxx, dpaa2-eth).
In mlxsw expose critical and emergency SFP module temperature alarms.

Add support for various auth offloads in WiFi APs, e.g. SAE (WPA3)
offload.
Add Lynx PHY/PCS MDIO module, and convert various drivers which have
this HW to use it. Convert mvpp2 to split PCS.
Support Marvell Prestera 98DX3255 24-port switch ASICs, as well as
7-port Mediatek MT7531 IP.
Add initial support for QCA6390 and IPQ6018 in ath11k WiFi driver,
and wcn3680 support in wcn36xx.
Improve performance for packets which don't require much offloads
on recent Mellanox NICs by 20% by making multiple packets share
a descriptor entry.
Move chelsio inline crypto drivers (for TLS and IPsec) from the crypto
subtree to drivers/net. Move MDIO drivers out of the phy directory.
Clean up a lot of W=1 warnings, reportedly the actively developed
subsections of networking drivers should now build W=1 warning free.
Make sure drivers don't use in_interrupt() to dynamically adapt their
code. Convert tasklets to use new tasklet_setup API (sadly this
conversion is not yet complete).

The rcu_tasks_trace_postgp() function uses for_each_process_thread()
to scan the task list without the benefit of RCU read-side protection,
which can result in use-after-free errors on task_struct structures.
This error was missed because the TRACE01 rcutorture scenario enables
lockdep, but also builds with CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE=y. In this situation,
preemption is disabled everywhere, so lockdep thinks everywhere can
be a legitimate RCU reader. This commit therefore adds the needed
rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock().
Note that this bug can occur only after an RCU Tasks Trace CPU stall
warning, which by default only happens after a grace period has extended
for ten minutes (yes, not a typo, minutes).

When rcu_tasks_trace_postgp() function detects an RCU Tasks Trace
CPU stall, it adds all tasks blocking the current grace period to
a list, invoking get_task_struct() on each to prevent them from
being freed while on the list. It then traverses that list,
printing stall-warning messages for each one that is still blocking
the current grace period and removing it from the list. The list
removal invokes the matching put_task_struct().
This of course means that in the admittedly unlikely event that some
task executes its outermost rcu_read_unlock_trace() in the meantime, it
won't be removed from the list and put_task_struct() won't be executing,
resulting in a task_struct leak. This commit therefore makes the list
removal and put_task_struct() unconditional, stopping the leak.
Note further that this bug can occur only after an RCU Tasks Trace CPU

The more intense grace-period processing resulting from the 50x RCU
Tasks Trace grace-period speedups exposed the following race condition:
o Task A running on CPU 0 executes rcu_read_lock_trace(),
entering a read-side critical section.
o When Task A eventually invokes rcu_read_unlock_trace()
to exit its read-side critical section, this function
notes that the ->trc_reader_special.s flag is zero and
and therefore invoke wil set ->trc_reader_nesting to zero
using WRITE_ONCE(). But before that happens...
o The RCU Tasks Trace grace-period kthread running on some other
CPU interrogates Task A, but this fails because this task is
currently running. This kthread therefore sends an IPI to CPU 0.
o CPU 0 receives the IPI, and thus invokes trc_read_check_handler().
Because Task A has not yet cleared its ->trc_reader_nesting
counter, this function sees that Task A is still within its
read-side critical section. This function therefore sets the
->trc_reader_nesting.b.need_qs flag, AKA the .need_qs flag.
Except that Task A has already checked the .need_qs flag, which
is part of the ->trc_reader_special.s flag. The .need_qs flag
therefore remains set until Task A's next rcu_read_unlock_trace().
o Task A now invokes synchronize_rcu_tasks_trace(), which cannot
start a new grace period until the current grace period completes.
And thus cannot return until after that time.
But Task A's .need_qs flag is still set, which prevents the current
grace period from completing. And because Task A is blocked, it
will never execute rcu_read_unlock_trace() until its call to
synchronize_rcu_tasks_trace() returns.
We are therefore deadlocked.
This race is improbable, but 80 hours of rcutorture made it happen twice.
The race was possible before the grace-period speedup, but roughly 50x
less probable. Several thousand hours of rcutorture would have been
necessary to have a reasonable chance of making this happen before this
50x speedup.
This commit therefore eliminates this deadlock by setting
->trc_reader_nesting to a large negative number before checking the
.need_qs and zeroing (or decrementing with respect to its initial
value) ->trc_reader_nesting. For its part, the IPI handler's
trc_read_check_handler() function adds a check for negative values,
deferring evaluation of the task in this case. Taken together, these
changes avoid this deadlock scenario.

The various RCU tasks flavors currently wait 100 milliseconds between each
grace period in order to prevent CPU-bound loops and to favor efficiency
over latency. However, RCU Tasks Trace needs to have a grace-period
latency of roughly 25 milliseconds, which is completely infeasible given
the 100-millisecond per-grace-period sleep. This commit therefore reduces
this sleep duration to 5 milliseconds (or one jiffy, whichever is longer)
in kernels built with CONFIG_TASKS_TRACE_RCU_READ_MB=y.

Many workloads are quite sensitive to IPIs, and such workloads should
build kernels with CONFIG_TASKS_TRACE_RCU_READ_MB=y to prevent RCU
Tasks Trace from using them under normal conditions. However, other
workloads are quite happy to permit more IPIs if doing so makes BPF
program updates go faster. This commit therefore sets the default
value for the rcupdate.rcu_task_ipi_delay kernel parameter to zero for
kernels that have been built with CONFIG_TASKS_TRACE_RCU_READ_MB=n,
while retaining the old default of (HZ / 10) for kernels that have
indicated an aversion to IPIs via CONFIG_TASKS_TRACE_RCU_READ_MB=y.

The RCU Tasks Trace grace periods are too slow, as in 40x slower than
those of RCU Tasks. This is due to my having assumed a one-second grace
period was OK, and thus not having optimized any further. This commit
provides the first step in this optimization process, namely by allowing
the task_list scan backoff interval to be specified on a per-flavor basis,
and then speeding up the scans for RCU Tasks Trace. However, kernels
built with CONFIG_TASKS_TRACE_RCU_READ_MB=y continue to use the old slower
backoff, consistent with that Kconfig option's goal of reducing IPIs.

The rcu_segcblist_accelerate() function returns true iff it is necessary
to request another grace period. A tracing session showed that this
function unnecessarily requests grace periods.
For example, consider the following sequence of events:
1. Callbacks are queued only on the NEXT segment of CPU A's callback list.
2. CPU A runs RCU_SOFTIRQ, accelerating these callbacks from NEXT to WAIT.
3. Thus rcu_segcblist_accelerate() returns true, requesting grace period N.
4. RCU's grace-period kthread wakes up on CPU B and starts grace period N.
4. CPU A notices the new grace period and invokes RCU_SOFTIRQ.
5. CPU A's RCU_SOFTIRQ again invokes rcu_segcblist_accelerate(), but
there are no new callbacks. However, rcu_segcblist_accelerate()
nevertheless (uselessly) requests a new grace period N+1.
This extra grace period results in additional lock contention and also
additional wakeups, all for no good reason.
This commit therefore adds a check to rcu_segcblist_accelerate() that
prevents the return of true when there are no new callbacks.
This change reduces the number of grace periods (GPs) and wakeups in each
of eleven five-second rcutorture runs as follows:
+----+-------------------+-------------------+
| # | Number of GPs | Number of Wakeups |
+====+=========+=========+=========+=========+

The current rcutorture forward-progress code assumes that it is the
only cause of out-of-memory (OOM) events. For script-based rcutorture
testing, this assumption is in fact correct. However, testing based
on modprobe/rmmod might well encounter external OOM events, which could
happen at any time.
This commit therefore properly synchronizes the interaction between
rcutorture's forward-progress testing and its OOM notifier by adding a

The CONFIG_PREEMPT=n instance of rcu_read_unlock is even more
aggressively than that of CONFIG_PREEMPT=y in deferring reporting
quiescent states to the RCU core. This is just what is wanted in normal
use because it reduces overhead, but the resulting delay is not what
is wanted for kernels built with CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD=y.
This commit therefore adds an rcu_read_unlock_strict() function that
checks for exceptional conditions, and reports the newly started
quiescent state if it is safe to do so, also doing a spin-delay if
requested via rcutree.rcu_unlock_delay. This commit also adds a call

A kernel built with CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD=y needs a quiescent
state to appear very shortly after a CPU has noticed a new grace period.
Placing an RCU reader immediately after this point is ineffective because
this normally happens in softirq context, which acts as a big RCU reader.
This commit therefore introduces a new per-CPU work_struct, which is
used at the end of rcu_core() processing to schedule an RCU read-side
critical section from within a clean environment.

The goal of this series is to increase the probability of tools like
KASAN detecting that an RCU-protected pointer was used outside of its
RCU read-side critical section. Thus far, the approach has been to make
grace periods and callback processing happen faster. Another approach
is to delay the pointer leaker. This commit therefore allows a delay
to be applied to exit from RCU read-side critical sections.
This slowdown is specified by a new rcutree.rcu_unlock_delay kernel boot
parameter that specifies this delay in microseconds, defaulting to zero.

Currently, each CPU discovers the end of a given grace period on its
own time, which is again good for efficiency but bad for fast grace
periods, given that it is things like kfree() within the RCU callbacks
that will cause trouble for pointers leaked from RCU read-side critical
sections. This commit therefore uses on_each_cpu() to IPI each CPU
after grace-period cleanup in order to inform each CPU of the end of
the old grace period in a timely manner, but only in kernels build with
CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD=y.

Currently, each CPU discovers the beginning of a given grace period
on its own time, which is again good for efficiency but bad for fast
grace periods. This commit therefore uses on_each_cpu() to IPI each

the new grace period in a timely manner, but only in kernels build with

A given CPU normally notes a new grace period during one RCU_SOFTIRQ,
but avoids reporting the corresponding quiescent state until some later
RCU_SOFTIRQ. This leisurly approach improves efficiency by increasing
the number of update requests served by each grace period, but is not
what is needed for kernels built with CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD=y.
This commit therefore adds a new rcu_strict_gp_check_qs() function
which, in CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD=y kernels, simply enters and
immediately exist an RCU read-side critical section. If the CPU is
in a quiescent state, the rcu_read_unlock() will attempt to report an
immediate quiescent state. This rcu_strict_gp_check_qs() function is
invoked from note_gp_changes(), so that a CPU just noticing a new grace
period might immediately report a quiescent state for that grace period.

The rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_irqrestore() function is invoked at
the end of an RCU read-side critical section (for example, directly
from rcu_read_unlock()) and, if .need_qs is set, invokes rcu_qs() to
report the new quiescent state. This works, except that rcu_qs() only
updates per-CPU state, leaving reporting of the actual quiescent state
to a later call to rcu_report_qs_rdp(), for example from within a later
RCU_SOFTIRQ instance. Although this approach is exactly what you want if
you are more concerned about efficiency than about short grace periods,
in CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD=y kernels, short grace periods are
the name of the game.
This commit therefore makes rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_irqrestore() directly
invoke rcu_report_qs_rdp() in CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD=y, thus
shortening grace periods.
Historical note: To the best of my knowledge, causing rcu_read_unlock()
to directly report a quiescent state first appeared in Jim Houston's
and Joe Korty's JRCU. This is the second instance of a Linux-kernel RCU
feature being inspired by JRCU, the first being RCU callback offloading
(as in the RCU_NOCB_CPU Kconfig option).

The ->rcu_read_unlock_special.b.need_qs field in the task_struct
structure indicates that the RCU core needs a quiscent state from the
corresponding task. The __rcu_read_unlock() function checks this (via
an eventual call to rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_irqrestore()), and if set
reports a quiscent state immediately upon exit from the outermost RCU
read-side critical section.
Currently, this flag is only set when the scheduling-clock interrupt
decides that the current RCU grace period is too old, as in about
one full second too old. But if the kernel has been built with
CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD=y, we clearly do not want to wait that
long. This commit therefore sets the .need_qs field immediately at the
start of the RCU read-side critical section from within __rcu_read_lock()
in order to unconditionally enlist help from __rcu_read_unlock().
But note the additional check for rcu_state.gp_kthread, which prevents
attempts to awaken RCU's grace-period kthread during early boot before
there is a scheduler. Leaving off this check results in early boot hangs.
So early that there is no console output. Thus, this additional check
fails until such time as RCU's grace-period kthread has been created,
avoiding these empty-console hangs.

The value of DEFAULT_RCU_BLIMIT is normally set to 10, the idea being to
avoid needless response-time degradation due to RCU callback invocation.
However, when CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD=y it is better to avoid
throttling callback execution in order to better detect pointer
leaks from RCU read-side critical sections. This commit therefore
sets the value of DEFAULT_RCU_BLIMIT to 1000 in kernels built with
CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD=y.

If there are idle CPUs, RCU's grace-period kthread will wait several
jiffies before even thinking about polling them. This promotes
efficiency, which is normally a good thing, but when the kernel
has been built with CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD=y, we care more
about short grace periods. This commit therefore restricts the
default jiffies_till_first_fqs value to zero in kernels built with
CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD=y, which causes RCU's grace-period kthread
to poll for idle CPUs immediately after starting a grace period.

Because strict RCU grace periods will complete more quickly, they will
experience greater lock contention on each leaf rcu_node structure's
->lock. This commit therefore reduces the leaf fanout in order to reduce
this lock contention.
Note that this also has the effect of reducing the number of CPUs
supported to 16 in the case of CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_LEAF=2 or 81 in the
case of CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_LEAF=3. However, greater numbers of CPUs are
probably a bad idea when using CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD=y. Those
wishing to live dangerously are free to edit their kernel/rcu/Kconfig
files accordingly.

People running automated tests have asked for a way to make RCU minimize
grace-period duration in order to increase the probability of KASAN
detecting a pointer being improperly leaked from an RCU read-side critical
section, for example, like this:
rcu_read_lock();
p = rcu_dereference(gp);
do_something_with(p); // OK
rcu_read_unlock();
do_something_else_with(p); // BUG!!!
The rcupdate.rcu_expedited boot parameter is a start in this direction,
given that it makes calls to synchronize_rcu() instead invoke the faster
(and more wasteful) synchronize_rcu_expedited(). However, this does
nothing to shorten RCU grace periods that are instead initiated by
call_rcu(), and RCU pointer-leak bugs can involve call_rcu() just as
surely as they can synchronize_rcu().
This commit therefore adds a RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD Kconfig option
that will be used to shorten normal (non-expedited) RCU grace periods.
This commit also dumps out a message when this option is in effect.
Later commits will actually shorten grace periods.

This commit further avoids conflation of rcuperf with the kernel's perf
feature by renaming kernel/rcu/rcuperf.c to kernel/rcu/rcuscale.c, and
also by similarly renaming the functions and variables inside this file.
This has the side effect of changing the names of the kernel boot
parameters, so kernel-parameters.txt and ver_functions.sh are also
updated. The rcutorture --torture type was also updated from rcuperf
to rcuscale.

The RCU grace-period kthread's force-quiescent state (FQS) loop should
never see an offline CPU that has not yet reported a quiescent state.
After all, the offline CPU should have reported a quiescent state
during the CPU-offline process, or, failing that, by rcu_gp_init()
if it ran concurrently with either the CPU going offline or the last
task on a leaf rcu_node structure exiting its RCU read-side critical
section while all CPUs corresponding to that structure are offline.
The FQS loop should therefore complain if it does see an offline CPU
that has not yet reported a quiescent state.
And it does, but only once the grace period has been in force for a
full second. This commit therefore makes this warning more aggressive,
so that it will trigger as soon as the condition makes its appearance.
Light testing with TREE03 and hotplug shows no warnings. This commit
also converts the warning to WARN_ON_ONCE() in order to stave off possible

When the rcu_cpu_started per-CPU variable was added by commit

The rcu_data structure's ->nocb_timer field is used to defer wakeups of
the corresponding no-CBs CPU's grace-period kthread ("rcuog*"), and that
structure's ->nocb_defer_wakeup field is used to track such deferral.
This means that the show_rcu_nocb_state() printing an error when those
fields are set for a CPU not corresponding to a no-CBs grace-period
kthread is erroneous.
This commit therefore switches the check from ->nocb_timer to
->nocb_bypass_timer and removes the check of ->nocb_defer_wakeup.

Originally, the call to rcu_preempt_blocked_readers_cgp() from
force_qs_rnp() had to be conditioned on CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU=y, as in
commit a77da14ce9 ("rcu: Yet another fix for preemption and CPU
hotplug"). However, there is now a CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU=n definition of
rcu_preempt_blocked_readers_cgp() that unconditionally returns zero, so
invoking it is now safe. In addition, the CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU=n definition
of rcu_initiate_boost() simply releases the rcu_node structure's ->lock,
which is what happens when the "if" condition evaluates to false.
This commit therefore drops the IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU) check,
so that rcu_initiate_boost() is called only in CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU=y
kernels when there are readers blocking the current grace period.
This does not change the behavior, but reduces code-reader confusion by
eliminating non-CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU=y calls to rcu_initiate_boost().

On callback overload, it is necessary to quickly detect idle CPUs,
and rcu_gp_fqs_check_wake() checks for this condition. Unfortunately,
the code following the call to this function does not repeat this check,
which means that in reality no actual quiescent-state forcing, instead
only a couple of quick and pointless wakeups at the beginning of the
grace period.
This commit therefore adds a check for the RCU_GP_FLAG_OVLD flag in

Generic KASAN will record the last two call_rcu() call stacks and print up

This feature considers the size of struct kasan_alloc_meta and

Currently, the rcu_torture_current variable remains non-NULL until after
all readers have stopped. During this time, rcu_torture_stats_print()
will think that the test is still ongoing, which can result in confusing
dmesg output. This commit therefore NULLs rcu_torture_current immediately
after the rcu_torture_writer() kthread has decided to stop, thus informing

Several variants of Linux-kernel RCU interact with task-exit processing,
including preemptible RCU, Tasks RCU, and Tasks Trace RCU. This commit
therefore adds testing of this interaction to rcutorture by adding
rcutorture.read_exit_burst and rcutorture.read_exit_delay kernel-boot
parameters. These kernel parameters control the frequency and spacing
of special read-then-exit kthreads that are spawned.

SRCU disables interrupts to get a stable per-CPU pointer and then
acquires the spinlock which is in the per-CPU data structure. The
release uses spin_unlock_irqrestore(). While this is correct on a non-RT
kernel, this conflicts with the RT semantics because the spinlock is
converted to a 'sleeping' spinlock. Sleeping locks can obviously not be
acquired with interrupts disabled.
Acquire the per-CPU pointer `ssp->sda' without disabling preemption and
then acquire the spinlock_t of the per-CPU data structure. The lock will
ensure that the data is consistent.
The added call to check_init_srcu_struct() is now needed because a
statically defined srcu_struct may remain uninitialized until this
point and the newly introduced locking operation requires an initialized
spinlock_t.
This change was tested for four hours with 8*SRCU-N and 8*SRCU-P without
causing any warnings.

Currently, readers are awakened individually. On most systems, this
results in significant wakeup delay from one reader to the next, which
can result in the first and last reader having sole access to the
synchronization primitive in question. If that synchronization primitive
involves shared memory, those readers will rack up a huge number of
operations in a very short time, causing large perturbations in the
results.
This commit therefore has the readers busy-wait after being awakened,
and uses a new n_started variable to synchronize their start times.

Current runs show PREEMPT=n rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock() pairs
consuming between 20 and 30 nanoseconds, when in fact the actual value is
zero, give or take the barrier() asm's effect on compiler optimizations.
The additional overhead is caused by function calls through pointers
(especially in these days of Spectre mitigations) and perhaps also
needless argument passing, a non-const loop limit, and an upcounting loop.
This commit therefore combines the ->readlock() and ->readunlock()
function pointers into a single ->readsection() function pointer that
takes the loop count as a const parameter and keeps any data passed
from the read-lock to the read-unlock internal to this new function.
These changes reduce the measured overhead of the aforementioned
PREEMPT=n rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock() pairs from between 20 and
30 nanoseconds to somewhere south of 500 picoseconds.

This commit adds an rcuperf module parameter named "holdoff" that

The assumption is that all the CPUs are online by the time that the
modprobe and insmod commands are going to do anything, and that normal
systems will have all the CPUs online within ten seconds.
Larger systems may take many tens of seconds or even minutes to get
to this point, hence this being a module parameter instead of being a

Add a test for comparing the performance of RCU with various read-side
synchronization mechanisms. The test has proved useful for collecting
data and performing these comparisons.
Currently RCU, SRCU, reader-writer lock, reader-writer semaphore and
reference counting can be measured using refperf.perf_type parameter.
Each invocation of the test runs measures performance of a specific
mechanism.
The maximum number of CPUs to concurrently run readers on is chosen by
the test itself and is 75% of the total number of CPUs. So if you had 24
CPUs, the test runs with a maximum of 18 parallel readers.
A number of experiments are conducted, and in each experiment, the
number of readers is increased by 1, upto the 75% of CPUs mark. During
each experiment, all readers execute an empty loop with refperf.loops
iterations and time the total loop duration. This is then averaged.
Example output:
Parameters "refperf.perf_type=srcu refperf.loops=2000000" looks like:
[ 3.347133] srcu-ref-perf:

Update the kvfree_call_rcu() function with head-less support.
This allows RCU to reclaim objects without an embedded rcu_head.
tree-RCU:
We introduce two chains of arrays to store SLAB-backed and vmalloc
pointers, each. Storage in either of these arrays does not require
embedding an rcu_head within the object.
Maintaining the arrays may become impossible due to high memory
pressure. For such cases there is an emergency path. Objects with
rcu_head inside are just queued on a backup rcu_head list. Later on
that list is drained. As for the head-less variant, as the current
context can sleep, the following emergency measures are applied:
a) Synchronously wait until a grace period has elapsed.
b) Call kvfree().
tiny-RCU:
For double argument calls, there are no new changes in behavior. For
single argument call, kvfree() is directly inlined on the current
stack after a synchronize_rcu() call. Note that for tiny-RCU, any
call to synchronize_rcu() is actually a quiescent state, therefore
it does nothing.

In order to reduce the dynamic need for pages in kfree_rcu(),
pre-allocate a configurable number of pages per CPU and link
them in a list. When kfree_rcu() reclaims objects, the object's
container page is cached into a list instead of being released
to the low-level page allocator.
Such an approach provides O(1) access to free pages while also
reducing the number of requests to the page allocator. It also
makes the kfree_rcu() code to have free pages available during
a low memory condition.
A read-only sysfs parameter (rcu_min_cached_objs) reflects the

To keep the kfree_rcu() code working in purely atomic sections on RT,
such as non-threaded IRQ handlers and raw spinlock sections, avoid
calling into the page allocator which uses sleeping locks on RT.
In fact, even if the caller is preemptible, the kfree_rcu() code is
not, as the krcp->lock is a raw spinlock.
Calling into the page allocator is optional and avoiding it should be
Ok, especially with the page pre-allocation support in future patches.
Such pre-allocation would further avoid the a need for a dynamically
allocated page in the first place.

and causes kfree_rcu() callers to sleep. This makes it unusable for

Vetting all code paths, there is no reason to believe that the raw

There will likely be exception handlers that can sleep, which rules
out the usual approach of invoking rcu_nmi_enter() on entry and also
rcu_nmi_exit() on all exit paths. However, the alternative approach of
just not calling anything can prevent RCU from coaxing quiescent states
from nohz_full CPUs that are looping in the kernel: RCU must instead
IPI them explicitly. It would be better to enable the scheduler tick
on such CPUs to interact with RCU in a lighter-weight manner, and this
enabling is one of the things that rcu_nmi_enter() currently does.
What is needed is something that helps RCU coax quiescent states while
not preventing subsequent sleeps. This commit therefore splits out the
nohz_full scheduler-tick enabling from the rest of the rcu_nmi_enter()
logic into a new function named rcu_irq_enter_check_tick().

Interrupts and exceptions invoke rcu_irq_enter() on entry and need to
invoke rcu_irq_exit() before they either return to the interrupted code or
invoke the scheduler due to preemption.
The general assumption is that RCU idle code has to have preemption
disabled so that a return from interrupt cannot schedule. So the return
from interrupt code invokes rcu_irq_exit() and preempt_schedule_irq().
If there is any imbalance in the rcu_irq/nmi* invocations or RCU idle code
had preemption enabled then this goes unnoticed until the CPU goes idle or
some other RCU check is executed.
Provide rcu_irq_exit_preempt() which can be invoked from the
interrupt/exception return code in case that preemption is enabled. It
invokes rcu_irq_exit() and contains a few sanity checks in case that
CONFIG_PROVE_RCU is enabled to catch such issues directly.

The rcu_nmi_enter_common() and rcu_nmi_exit_common() functions take an
"irq" parameter that indicates whether these functions have been invoked from
an irq handler (irq==true) or an NMI handler (irq==false).
However, recent changes have applied notrace to a few critical functions
such that rcu_nmi_enter_common() and rcu_nmi_exit_common() many now rely on
in_nmi(). Note that in_nmi() works no differently than before, but rather
that tracing is now prohibited in code regions where in_nmi() would
incorrectly report NMI state.
Therefore remove the "irq" parameter and inline rcu_nmi_enter_common() and
rcu_nmi_exit_common() into rcu_nmi_enter() and rcu_nmi_exit(),
respectively.

Because the accesses are in diagnostic prints, this commit uses

tearing), any misleading information would be disambiguated by the

Systems running CPU-bound real-time task do not want IPIs sent to CPUs
executing nohz_full userspace tasks. Battery-powered systems don't
want IPIs sent to idle CPUs in low-power mode. Unfortunately, RCU tasks
trace can and will send such IPIs in some cases.
Both of these situations occur only when the target CPU is in RCU
dyntick-idle mode, in other words, when RCU is not watching the
target CPU. This suggests that CPUs in dyntick-idle mode should use
memory barriers in outermost invocations of rcu_read_lock_trace()
and rcu_read_unlock_trace(), which would allow the RCU tasks trace
grace period to directly read out the target CPU's read-side state.
One challenge is that RCU tasks trace is not targeting a specific
CPU, but rather a task. And that task could switch from one CPU to
another at any time.
This commit therefore uses try_invoke_on_locked_down_task()
and checks for task_curr() in trc_inspect_reader_notrunning().
When this condition holds, the target task is running and cannot move.
If CONFIG_TASKS_TRACE_RCU_READ_MB=y, the new rcu_dynticks_zero_in_eqs()
function can be used to check if the specified integer (in this case,
t->trc_reader_nesting) is zero while the target CPU remains in that same
dyntick-idle sojourn. If so, the target task is in a quiescent state.
If not, trc_read_check_handler() must indicate failure so that the
grace-period kthread can take appropriate action or retry after an
appropriate delay, as the case may be.
With this change, given CONFIG_TASKS_TRACE_RCU_READ_MB=y, if a given
CPU remains idle or a given task continues executing in nohz_full mode,
the RCU tasks trace grace-period kthread will detect this without the
need to send an IPI.

This commit provides a rcupdate.rcu_task_ipi_delay kernel boot parameter
that specifies how old the RCU tasks trace grace period must be before
the grace-period kthread starts sending IPIs. This delay allows more
tasks to pass through rcu_tasks_qs() quiescent states, thus reducing
(or even eliminating) the number of IPIs that must be sent.
On a short rcutorture test setting this kernel boot parameter to HZ/2
resulted in zero IPIs for all 877 RCU-tasks trace grace periods that
elapsed during that test.

This commit makes the calls to rcu_tasks_qs() detect and report
quiescent states for RCU tasks trace. If the task is in a quiescent
state and if ->trc_reader_checked is not yet set, the task sets its own
->trc_reader_checked. This will cause the grace-period kthread to
remove it from the holdout list if it still remains there.

Because RCU does not watch exception early-entry/late-exit, idle-loop,
or CPU-hotplug execution, protection of tracing and BPF operations is
needlessly complicated. This commit therefore adds a variant of
Tasks RCU that:
o Has explicit read-side markers to allow finite grace periods in
the face of in-kernel loops for PREEMPT=n builds. These markers
are rcu_read_lock_trace() and rcu_read_unlock_trace().
o Protects code in the idle loop, exception entry/exit, and
CPU-hotplug code paths. In this respect, RCU-tasks trace is
similar to SRCU, but with lighter-weight readers.
o Avoids expensive read-side instruction, having overhead similar
to that of Preemptible RCU.
There are of course downsides:
o The grace-period code can send IPIs to CPUs, even when those
CPUs are in the idle loop or in nohz_full userspace. This is
mitigated by later commits.
o It is necessary to scan the full tasklist, much as for Tasks RCU.
o There is a single callback queue guarded by a single lock,
again, much as for Tasks RCU. However, those early use cases
that request multiple grace periods in quick succession are
expected to do so from a single task, which makes the single
lock almost irrelevant. If needed, multiple callback queues
can be provided using any number of schemes.
Perhaps most important, this variant of RCU does not affect the vanilla
flavors, rcu_preempt and rcu_sched. The fact that RCU Tasks Trace
readers can operate from idle, offline, and exception entry/exit in no
way enables rcu_preempt and rcu_sched readers to do so.
The memory ordering was outlined here:

The scheduler is currently required to hold rq/pi locks across the entire
RCU read-side critical section or not at all. This is inconvenient and
leaves traps for the unwary, including the author of this commit.
But now that excessively long grace periods enable scheduling-clock
interrupts for holdout nohz_full CPUs, the nohz_full rescue logic in
rcu_read_unlock_special() can be dispensed with. In other words, the
rcu_read_unlock_special() function can refrain from doing wakeups unless
such wakeups are guaranteed safe.
This commit therefore avoids unsafe wakeups, freeing the scheduler to
hold rq/pi locks across rcu_read_unlock() even if the corresponding RCU
read-side critical section might have been preempted. This commit also
updates RCU's requirements documentation.

This commit adds rcu_gp_might_be_stalled(), which returns true if there
is some reason to believe that the RCU grace period is stalled. The use
case is where an RCU free-memory path needs to allocate memory in order
to free it, a situation that should be avoided where possible.
But where it is necessary, there is always the alternative of using
synchronize_rcu() to wait for a grace period in order to avoid the
allocation. And if the grace period is stalled, allocating memory to
asynchronously wait for it is a bad idea of epic proportions: Far better
to let others use the memory, because these others might actually be
able to free that memory before the grace period ends.
Thus, rcu_gp_might_be_stalled() can be used to help decide whether
allocating memory on an RCU free path is a semi-reasonable course
of action.

To reduce grace periods and improve kfree() performance, we have done
batching recently dramatically bringing down the number of grace periods
while giving us the ability to use kfree_bulk() for efficient kfree'ing.
However, this has increased the likelihood of OOM condition under heavy
kfree_rcu() flood on small memory systems. This patch introduces a
shrinker which starts grace periods right away if the system is under
memory pressure due to existence of objects that have still not started
a grace period.
With this patch, I do not observe an OOM anymore on a system with 512MB
RAM and 8 CPUs, with the following rcuperf options:
rcuperf.kfree_loops=20000 rcuperf.kfree_alloc_num=8000
rcuperf.kfree_rcu_test=1 rcuperf.kfree_mult=2
Otherwise it easily OOMs with the above parameters.
NOTE:
1. On systems with no memory pressure, the patch has no effect as intended.
2. In the future, we can use this same mechanism to prevent grace periods
from happening even more, by relying on shrinkers carefully.

Extend lockdep to validate lock wait-type context.
The current wait-types are:
LD_WAIT_FREE, /* wait free, rcu etc.. */
LD_WAIT_SPIN, /* spin loops, raw_spinlock_t etc.. */
LD_WAIT_CONFIG, /* CONFIG_PREEMPT_LOCK, spinlock_t etc.. */
LD_WAIT_SLEEP, /* sleeping locks, mutex_t etc.. */
Where lockdep validates that the current lock (the one being acquired)
fits in the current wait-context (as generated by the held stack).
This ensures that there is no attempt to acquire mutexes while holding
spinlocks, to acquire spinlocks while holding raw_spinlocks and so on. In
other words, its a more fancy might_sleep().
Obviously RCU made the entire ordeal more complex than a simple single
value test because RCU can be acquired in (pretty much) any context and
while it presents a context to nested locks it is not the same as it
got acquired in.
Therefore its necessary to split the wait_type into two values, one
representing the acquire (outer) and one representing the nested context
(inner). For most 'normal' locks these two are the same.
[ To make static initialization easier we have the rule that:
.outer == INV means .outer == .inner; because INV == 0. ]
It further means that its required to find the minimal .inner of the held
stack to compare against the outer of the new lock; because while 'normal'
RCU presents a CONFIG type to nested locks, if it is taken while already
holding a SPIN type it obviously doesn't relax the rules.
Below is an example output generated by the trivial test code:
raw_spin_lock(&foo);
spin_lock(&bar);
spin_unlock(&bar);
raw_spin_unlock(&foo);
[ BUG: Invalid wait context ]
-----------------------------
swapper/0/1 is trying to lock:
ffffc90000013f20 (&bar){....}-{3:3}, at: kernel_init+0xdb/0x187
other info that might help us debug this:
1 lock held by swapper/0/1:
#0: ffffc90000013ee0 (&foo){+.+.}-{2:2}, at: kernel_init+0xd1/0x187
The way to read it is to look at the new -{n,m} part in the lock
description; -{3:3} for the attempted lock, and try and match that up to
the held locks, which in this case is the one: -{2,2}.
This tells that the acquiring lock requires a more relaxed environment than
presented by the lock stack.
Currently only the normal locks and RCU are converted, the rest of the
lockdep users defaults to .inner = INV which is ignored. More conversions
can be done when desired.
The check for spinlock_t nesting is not enabled by default. It's a separate
config option for now as there are known problems which are currently
addressed. The config option allows to identify these problems and to
verify that the solutions found are indeed solving them.
The config switch will be removed and the checks will permanently enabled
once the vast majority of issues has been addressed.

Currently, if rcu_barrier() returns too soon, the test waits 100ms and
then does another instance of the test. However, if rcu_barrier() were
to have waited for more than 100ms too short a time, this could cause
the test's rcu_head structures to be reused while they were still on
RCU's callback lists. This can result in knock-on errors that obscure
the original rcu_barrier() test failure.
This commit therefore adds code that attempts to wait until all of
the test's callbacks have been invoked. Of course, if RCU completely
lost track of the corresponding rcu_head structures, this wait could be
forever. This commit therefore also complains if this attempted recovery
takes more than one second, and it also gives up when the test ends.

Currently, rcu_torture_barrier_cbs() posts callbacks from whatever CPU

In normal production, an excessively long wait on a grace period

Additional rcutorture aggression can result in, believe it or not,
boot times in excess of three minutes on large hyperthreaded systems.
This is long enough for rcutorture to decide to do some callback flooding,
which seems a bit excessive given that userspace cannot have started
until long after boot, and it is userspace that does the real-world
callback flooding. Worse yet, because Tiny RCU lacks forward-progress
functionality, the looping-in-the-kernel tests can also be problematic
during early boot.
This commit therefore causes rcutorture to hold off on callback
flooding until about the time that init is spawned, and the same
for looping-in-the-kernel tests for Tiny RCU.

Some larger systems can take in excess of 50 seconds to complete their
early boot initcalls prior to spawing init. This does not in any way
help the forward-progress judgments of built-in rcutorture (when

cannot happen until some time after boot completes). This commit
therefore suppresses such complaints until about the time that init
is spawned.

RCU priority boosting currently is not applied until the grace period
is at least 250 milliseconds old (or the number of milliseconds specified
by the CONFIG_RCU_BOOST_DELAY Kconfig option). Although this has worked
well, it can result in OOM under conditions of RCU callback flooding.
One can argue that the real-time systems using RCU priority boosting
should carefully avoid RCU callback flooding, but one can just as well
argue that an OOM is a rather obnoxious error message.
This commit therefore disables the RCU priority boosting delay when
there are excessive numbers of callbacks queued.

In default configutions, RCU currently waits at least 100 milliseconds
before asking cond_resched() and/or resched_rcu() for help seeking
quiescent states to end a grace period. But 100 milliseconds can be
one good long time during an RCU callback flood, for example, as can
happen when user processes repeatedly open and close files in a tight
loop. These 100-millisecond gaps in successive grace periods during a
callback flood can result in excessive numbers of callbacks piling up,
unnecessarily increasing memory footprint.
This commit therefore asks cond_resched() and/or resched_rcu() for help
as early as the first FQS scan when at least one of the CPUs has more
than 20,000 callbacks queued, a number that can be changed using the new
rcutree.qovld kernel boot parameter. An auxiliary qovld_calc variable
is used to avoid acquisition of locks that have not yet been initialized.
Early tests indicate that this reduces the RCU-callback memory footprint
during rcutorture floods by from 50% to 4x, depending on configuration.

The rcu_data structure's ->core_needs_qs field does not necessarily get
cleared in a timely fashion after the corresponding CPUs' quiescent state
has been reported. From a functional viewpoint, no harm done, but this
can result in excessive invocation of RCU core processing, as witnessed
by the kernel test robot, which saw greatly increased softirq overhead.
This commit therefore restores the rcu_report_qs_rdp() function's
clearing of this field, but only when running on the corresponding CPU.
Cases where some other CPU reports the quiescent state (for example, on
behalf of an idle CPU) are handled by setting this field appropriately
within the __note_gp_changes() function's end-of-grace-period checks.
This handling is carried out regardless of whether the end of a grace
period actually happened, thus handling the case where a CPU goes non-idle
after a quiescent state is reported on its behalf, but before the grace
period ends. This fix also avoids cross-CPU updates to ->core_needs_qs,
While in the area, this commit changes the __note_gp_changes() need_gp
variable's name to need_qs because it is a quiescent state that is needed
from the CPU in question.

The kfree_rcu() logic can be improved further by using kfree_bulk()
interface along with "basic batching support" introduced earlier.
The are at least two advantages of using "bulk" interface:
- in case of large number of kfree_rcu() requests kfree_bulk()
reduces the per-object overhead caused by calling kfree()
per-object.
- reduces the number of cache-misses due to "pointer chasing"
between objects which can be far spread between each other.
This approach defines a new kfree_rcu_bulk_data structure that
stores pointers in an array with a specific size. Number of entries
in that array depends on PAGE_SIZE making kfree_rcu_bulk_data
structure to be exactly one page.
Since it deals with "block-chain" technique there is an extra
need in dynamic allocation when a new block is required. Memory
is allocated with GFP_NOWAIT | __GFP_NOWARN flags, i.e. that
allows to skip direct reclaim under low memory condition to
prevent stalling and fails silently under high memory pressure.
The "emergency path" gets maintained when a system is run out of
memory. In that case objects are linked into regular list.
The "rcuperf" was run to analyze this change in terms of memory
consumption and kfree_bulk() throughput.

[ paulmck: Simplify grace-period wakeup check per Steve Rostedt feedback. ]
The rcu_barrier_callback() function does an atomic_dec_and_test(), and
if it is the last CPU to check in, does the required wakeup. Either way,
it does an event trace. Unfortunately, this is susceptible to the
following sequence of events:
o CPU 0 invokes rcu_barrier_callback(), but atomic_dec_and_test()
says that it is not last. But at this point, CPU 0 is delayed,
perhaps due to an NMI, SMI, or vCPU preemption.
o CPU 1 invokes rcu_barrier_callback(), and atomic_dec_and_test()
says that it is last. So CPU 1 traces completion and does
the needed wakeup.
o The awakened rcu_barrier() function does cleanup and releases
rcu_state.barrier_mutex.
o Another CPU now acquires rcu_state.barrier_mutex and starts
another round of rcu_barrier() processing, including updating
rcu_state.barrier_sequence.
o CPU 0 gets its act back together and does its tracing. Except
that rcu_state.barrier_sequence has already been updated, so
its tracing is incorrect and probably quite confusing.
(Wait! Why did this CPU check in twice for one rcu_barrier()
invocation???)
This commit therefore causes rcu_barrier_callback() to take a
snapshot of the value of rcu_state.barrier_sequence before invoking
atomic_dec_and_test(), thus guaranteeing that the event-trace output
is sensible, even if the timing of the event-trace output might still
be confusing. (Wait! Why did the old rcu_barrier() complete before
all of its CPUs checked in???) But being that this is RCU, only so much
confusion can reasonably be eliminated.

During testing, it was observed that amount of memory consumed due
kfree_rcu() batching is 300-400MB. Previously we had only a single
head_free pointer pointing to the list of rcu_head(s) that are to be
freed after a grace period. Until this list is drained, we cannot queue
any more objects on it since such objects may not be ready to be
reclaimed when the worker thread eventually gets to drainin g the
head_free list.
We can do better by maintaining multiple lists as done by this patch.
Testing shows that memory consumption came down by around 100-150MB with
just adding another list. Adding more than 1 additional list did not
show any improvement.

This test runs kfree_rcu() in a loop to measure performance of the new
kfree_rcu() batching functionality.
The following table shows results when booting with arguments:
rcuperf.kfree_loops=20000 rcuperf.kfree_alloc_num=8000
rcuperf.kfree_rcu_test=1 rcuperf.kfree_no_batch=X
rcuperf.kfree_no_batch=X # Grace Periods Test Duration (s)
X=1 (old behavior) 9133 11.5
X=0 (new behavior) 1732 12.5
On a 16 CPU system with the above boot parameters, we see that the total
number of grace periods that elapse during the test drops from 9133 when
not batching to 1732 when batching (a 5X improvement). The kfree_rcu()
flood itself slows down a bit when batching, though, as shown.
Note that the active memory consumption during the kfree_rcu() flood
does increase to around 200-250MB due to the batching (from around 50MB
without batching). However, this memory consumption is relatively
constant. In other words, the system is able to keep up with the
kfree_rcu() load. The memory consumption comes down considerably if
KFREE_DRAIN_JIFFIES is increased from HZ/50 to HZ/80. A later patch will
reduce memory consumption further by using multiple lists.
Also, when running the test, please disable CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT and
CONFIG_PROVE_RCU for realistic comparisons with/without batching.

Recently a discussion about stability and performance of a system
involving a high rate of kfree_rcu() calls surfaced on the list [1]
which led to another discussion how to prepare for this situation.
This patch adds basic batching support for kfree_rcu(). It is "basic"
because we do none of the slab management, dynamic allocation, code
moving or any of the other things, some of which previous attempts did
[2]. These fancier improvements can be follow-up patches and there are
different ideas being discussed in those regards. This is an effort to
start simple, and build up from there. In the future, an extension to
use kfree_bulk and possibly per-slab batching could be done to further
improve performance due to cache-locality and slab-specific bulk free
optimizations. By using an array of pointers, the worker thread
processing the work would need to read lesser data since it does not
need to deal with large rcu_head(s) any longer.
Torture tests follow in the next patch and show improvements of around
5x reduction in number of grace periods on a 16 CPU system. More
details and test data are in that patch.
There is an implication with rcu_barrier() with this patch. Since the
kfree_rcu() calls can be batched, and may not be handed yet to the RCU
machinery in fact, the monitor may not have even run yet to do the
queue_rcu_work(), there seems no easy way of implementing rcu_barrier()
to wait for those kfree_rcu()s that are already made. So this means a
kfree_rcu() followed by an rcu_barrier() does not imply that memory will
be freed once rcu_barrier() returns.
Another implication is higher active memory usage (although not
run-away..) until the kfree_rcu() flooding ends, in comparison to
without batching. More details about this are in the second patch which
adds an rcuperf test.
Finally, in the near future we will get rid of kfree_rcu() special casing
within RCU such as in rcu_do_batch and switch everything to just
batching. Currently we don't do that since timer subsystem is not yet up
and we cannot schedule the kfree_rcu() monitor as the timer subsystem's
lock are not initialized. That would also mean getting rid of
kfree_call_rcu_nobatch() entirely.

An expedited grace period can be stalled by a nohz_full CPU looping
in kernel context. This possibility is currently handled by some
carefully crafted checks in rcu_read_unlock_special() that enlist help
from ksoftirqd when permitted by the scheduler. However, it is exactly
these checks that require the scheduler avoid holding any of its rq or
pi locks across rcu_read_unlock() without also having held them across
the entire RCU read-side critical section.
It would therefore be very nice if expedited grace periods could
handle nohz_full CPUs looping in kernel context without such checks.
This commit therefore adds code to the expedited grace period's wait
and cleanup code that forces the scheduler-clock interrupt on for CPUs
that fail to quickly supply a quiescent state. "Quickly" is currently

Now that the RCU flavors have been consolidated, there is one common
function for checking to see if an expedited RCU grace period has
completed, namely sync_rcu_preempt_exp_done(). Because this function is
no longer specific to RCU-preempt, this commit removes the "_preempt" from
its name. This commit also changes sync_rcu_preempt_exp_done_unlocked()
to sync_rcu_exp_done_unlocked() for the same reason.

The current expedited RCU grace-period code expects that a task
requesting an expedited grace period cannot awaken until that grace
period has reached the wakeup phase. However, it is possible for a long
preemption to result in the waiting task never sleeping. For example,
consider the following sequence of events:
1. Task A starts an expedited grace period by invoking
synchronize_rcu_expedited(). It proceeds normally up to the
wait_event() near the end of that function, and is then preempted
(or interrupted or whatever).
2. The expedited grace period completes, and a kworker task starts
the awaken phase, having incremented the counter and acquired
the rcu_state structure's .exp_wake_mutex. This kworker task
is then preempted or interrupted or whatever.
3. Task A resumes and enters wait_event(), which notes that the
expedited grace period has completed, and thus doesn't sleep.
4. Task B starts an expedited grace period exactly as did Task A,
complete with the preemption (or whatever delay) just before
the call to wait_event().
5. The expedited grace period completes, and another kworker
task starts the awaken phase, having incremented the counter.
However, it blocks when attempting to acquire the rcu_state
structure's .exp_wake_mutex because step 2's kworker task has
not yet released it.
6. Steps 4 and 5 repeat, resulting in overflow of the rcu_node
structure's ->exp_wq[] array.
In theory, this is harmless. Tasks waiting on the various ->exp_wq[]
array will just be spuriously awakened, but they will just sleep again
on noting that the rcu_state structure's ->expedited_sequence value has
not advanced far enough.
In practice, this wastes CPU time and is an accident waiting to happen.
This commit therefore moves the rcu_exp_gp_seq_end() call that officially
ends the expedited grace period (along with associate tracing) until
after the ->exp_wake_mutex has been acquired. This prevents Task A from
awakening prematurely, thus preventing more than one expedited grace
period from being in flight during a previous expedited grace period's
wakeup phase.

Tasks waiting within exp_funnel_lock() for an expedited grace period to
elapse can be starved due to the following sequence of events:
1. Tasks A and B both attempt to start an expedited grace
period at about the same time. This grace period will have
completed when the lower four bits of the rcu_state structure's
->expedited_sequence field are 0b'0100', for example, when the
initial value of this counter is zero. Task A wins, and thus
does the actual work of starting the grace period, including
acquiring the rcu_state structure's .exp_mutex and sets the
counter to 0b'0001'.
2. Because task B lost the race to start the grace period, it
waits on ->expedited_sequence to reach 0b'0100' inside of
exp_funnel_lock(). This task therefore blocks on the rcu_node
structure's ->exp_wq[1] field, keeping in mind that the
end-of-grace-period value of ->expedited_sequence (0b'0100')
is shifted down two bits before indexing the ->exp_wq[] field.
3. Task C attempts to start another expedited grace period,
but blocks on ->exp_mutex, which is still held by Task A.
4. The aforementioned expedited grace period completes, so that
->expedited_sequence now has the value 0b'0100'. A kworker task
therefore acquires the rcu_state structure's ->exp_wake_mutex
and starts awakening any tasks waiting for this grace period.
5. One of the first tasks awakened happens to be Task A. Task A
therefore releases the rcu_state structure's ->exp_mutex,
which allows Task C to start the next expedited grace period,
which causes the lower four bits of the rcu_state structure's
->expedited_sequence field to become 0b'0101'.
6. Task C's expedited grace period completes, so that the lower four
bits of the rcu_state structure's ->expedited_sequence field now
become 0b'1000'.
7. The kworker task from step 4 above continues its wakeups.
Unfortunately, the wake_up_all() refetches the rcu_state
structure's .expedited_sequence field:
wake_up_all(&rnp->exp_wq[rcu_seq_ctr(rcu_state.expedited_sequence) & 0x3]);
This results in the wakeup being applied to the rcu_node
structure's ->exp_wq[2] field, which is unfortunate given that
Task B is instead waiting on ->exp_wq[1].
On a busy system, no harm is done (or at least no permanent harm is done).
Some later expedited grace period will redo the wakeup. But on a quiet
system, such as many embedded systems, it might be a good long time before
there was another expedited grace period. On such embedded systems,
this situation could therefore result in a system hang.
This issue manifested as DPM device timeout during suspend (which
usually qualifies as a quiet time) due to a SCSI device being stuck in
_synchronize_rcu_expedited(), with the following stack trace:
schedule()
synchronize_rcu_expedited()
synchronize_rcu()
scsi_device_quiesce()
scsi_bus_suspend()
dpm_run_callback()
__device_suspend()
This commit therefore prevents such delays, timeouts, and hangs by
making rcu_exp_wait_wake() use its "s" argument consistently instead of
refetching from rcu_state.expedited_sequence.

If a nohz_full CPU is idle or executing in userspace, it makes good sense
to keep it out of RCU core processing. After all, the RCU grace-period
kthread can see its quiescent states and all of its callbacks are
offloaded, so there is nothing for RCU core processing to do.
However, if a nohz_full CPU is executing in kernel space, the RCU
grace-period kthread cannot do anything for it, so such a CPU must report
its own quiescent states. This commit therefore makes nohz_full CPUs
skip RCU core processing only if the scheduler-clock interrupt caught
them in idle or in userspace.

Commit 671a63517c ("rcu: Avoid unnecessary softirq when system
is idle") fixed a bug that could result in an indefinite number of
unnecessary invocations of the RCU_SOFTIRQ handler at the trailing edge
of a scheduler-clock interrupt. However, the fix introduced off-CPU
stores to ->core_needs_qs. These writes did not conflict with the
on-CPU stores because the CPU's leaf rcu_node structure's ->lock was
held across all such stores. However, the loads from ->core_needs_qs
were not promoted to READ_ONCE() and, worse yet, the code loading from
->core_needs_qs was written assuming that it was only ever updated by
the corresponding CPU. So operation has been robust, but only by luck.
This situation is therefore an accident waiting to happen.
This commit therefore takes a different approach. Instead of clearing
->core_needs_qs from the grace-period kthread's force-quiescent-state
processing, it modifies the rcu_pending() function to suppress the
rcu_sched_clock_irq() function's call to invoke_rcu_core() if there is no
grace period in progress. This avoids the infinite needless RCU_SOFTIRQ
handlers while still keeping all accesses to ->core_needs_qs local to
the corresponding CPU.

In some cases, tracing shows that need_heavy_qs is still set even though
urgent_qs was cleared upon reporting of a quiescent state. One such
case is when the softirq reports that a CPU has passed quiescent state.
Commit 671a63517c ("rcu: Avoid unnecessary softirq when system is
idle") fixed a bug where core_needs_qs was not being cleared. In order
to avoid running into similar situations with the urgent-grace-period
flags, this commit causes rcu_disable_urgency_upon_qs(), previously
rcu_disable_tick_upon_qs(), to clear the urgency hints, ->rcu_urgent_qs
and ->rcu_need_heavy_qs. Note that it is possible for CPUs to go
offline with these urgency hints still set. This is handled because
rcu_disable_urgency_upon_qs() is also invoked during the online process.
Because these hints can be cleared both by the corresponding CPU and by
the grace-period kthread, this commit also adds a number of READ_ONCE()
and WRITE_ONCE() calls.

The rcu_torture_fwd_prog_nr() tests the ability of RCU to tolerate
in-kernel busy loops. It invokes rcu_torture_fwd_prog_cond_resched()
within its delay loop, which, in PREEMPT && NO_HZ_FULL kernels results
in the occasional direct call to schedule(). Now, this direct call to

the kernel should restrain itself or userspace transitions will supply
the needed restraint. But in pure in-kernel loops, the occasional

Bimodal behavior of rcu_do_batch() is not really suited to Google
applications like gfe servers.
When a process with millions of sockets exits, closing all files
queues two rcu callbacks per socket.
This eventually reaches the point where RCU enters an emergency
mode, where rcu_do_batch() do not return until whole queue is flushed.
Each rcu callback lasts at least 70 nsec, so with millions of
elements, we easily spend more than 100 msec without rescheduling.
Goal of this patch is to avoid the infamous message like following
"need_resched set for > 51999388 ns (52 ticks) without schedule"
We dynamically adjust the number of elements we process, instead
of 10 / INFINITE choices, we use a floor of ~1 % of current entries.
If the number is above 1000, we switch to a time based limit of 3 msec
per batch, adjustable with /sys/module/rcutree/parameters/rcu_resched_ns

The rcutree_migrate_callbacks() invokes rcu_advance_cbs() on both the
offlined CPU's ->cblist and that of the surviving CPU, then merges
them. However, after the merge, and of the offlined CPU's callbacks
that were not ready to be invoked will no longer be associated with a
grace-period number. This commit therefore invokes rcu_advance_cbs()
one more time on the merged ->cblist in order to assign a grace-period

When callbacks are in full flow, the common case is waiting for a
grace period, and this grace period will normally take a few jiffies to
complete. It therefore isn't all that helpful for __call_rcu_nocb_wake()
to do a synchronous wakeup in this case. This commit therefore turns this
into a timer-based deferred wakeup of the no-CBs grace-period kthread.

Use of the rcu_data structure's segmented ->cblist for no-CBs CPUs
takes advantage of unrelated grace periods, thus reducing the memory
footprint in the face of floods of call_rcu() invocations. However,
the ->cblist field is a more-complex rcu_segcblist structure which must
be protected via locking. Even though there are only three entities
which can acquire this lock (the CPU invoking call_rcu(), the no-CBs
grace-period kthread, and the no-CBs callbacks kthread), the contention
on this lock is excessive under heavy stress.
This commit therefore greatly reduces contention by provisioning
an rcu_cblist structure field named ->nocb_bypass within the
rcu_data structure. Each no-CBs CPU is permitted only a limited
number of enqueues onto the ->cblist per jiffy, controlled by a new
nocb_nobypass_lim_per_jiffy kernel boot parameter that defaults to
about 16 enqueues per millisecond (16 * 1000 / HZ). When that limit is
exceeded, the CPU instead enqueues onto the new ->nocb_bypass.
The ->nocb_bypass is flushed into the ->cblist every jiffy or when
the number of callbacks on ->nocb_bypass exceeds qhimark, whichever
happens first. During call_rcu() floods, this flushing is carried out
by the CPU during the course of its call_rcu() invocations. However,
a CPU could simply stop invoking call_rcu() at any time. The no-CBs
grace-period kthread therefore carries out less-aggressive flushing
(every few jiffies or when the number of callbacks on ->nocb_bypass
exceeds (2 * qhimark), whichever comes first). This means that the
no-CBs grace-period kthread cannot be permitted to do unbounded waits
while there are callbacks on ->nocb_bypass. A ->nocb_bypass_timer is
used to provide the needed wakeups.

When there are excessive numbers of callbacks, and when either the
corresponding no-CBs callback kthread is asleep or there is no more
ready-to-invoke callbacks, and when least one callback is pending,
__call_rcu_nocb_wake() will advance the callbacks, but refrain from
awakening the corresponding no-CBs grace-period kthread. However,
because rcu_advance_cbs_nowake() is used, it is possible (if a bit
unlikely) that the needed advancement could not happen due to a grace
period not being in progress. Plus there will always be at least one
pending callback due to one having just now been enqueued.
This commit therefore attempts to advance callbacks and awakens the
no-CBs grace-period kthread when there are excessive numbers of callbacks

Currently, when the square root of the number of CPUs is rounded down
by int_sqrt(), this round-down is applied to the number of callback
kthreads per grace-period kthreads. This makes almost no difference
for large systems, but results in oddities such as three no-CBs
grace-period kthreads for a five-CPU system, which is a bit excessive.
This commit therefore causes the round-down to apply to the number of

A given rcu_data structure's ->nocb_lock can be acquired very frequently
by the corresponding CPU and occasionally by the corresponding no-CBs
grace-period and callbacks kthreads. In particular, these two kthreads
will have frequent gaps between ->nocb_lock acquisitions that are roughly
a grace period in duration. This means that any excessive ->nocb_lock
contention will be due to the CPU's acquisitions, and this in turn
enables a very naive contention-avoidance strategy to be quite effective.
This commit therefore modifies rcu_nocb_lock() to first
attempt a raw_spin_trylock(), and to atomically increment a
separate ->nocb_lock_contended across a raw_spin_lock(). This new
->nocb_lock_contended field is checked in __call_rcu_nocb_wake() when
interrupts are enabled, with a spin-wait for contending acquisitions
to complete, thus allowing the kthreads a chance to acquire the lock.

Currently, the code provides an extra wakeup for the no-CBs grace-period
kthread if one of its CPUs is generating excessive numbers of callbacks.
But satisfying though it is to wake something up when things are going
south, unless the thing being awakened can actually help solve the
problem, that extra wakeup does nothing but consume additional CPU time,
which is exactly what you don't want during a call_rcu() flood.
This commit therefore avoids doing anything if the corresponding
no-CBs callback kthread is going full tilt. Otherwise, if advancing
callbacks immediately might help and if the leaf rcu_node structure's
lock is immediately available, this commit invokes a new variant of

Currently the RCU callbacks for no-CBs CPUs are queued on a series of
ad-hoc linked lists, which means that these callbacks cannot benefit
from "drive-by" grace periods, thus suffering needless delays prior
to invocation. In addition, the no-CBs grace-period kthreads first
wait for callbacks to appear and later wait for a new grace period,
which means that callbacks appearing during a grace-period wait can
be delayed. These delays increase memory footprint, and could even
result in an out-of-memory condition.
This commit therefore enqueues RCU callbacks from no-CBs CPUs on the
rcu_segcblist structure that is already used by non-no-CBs CPUs. It also
restructures the no-CBs grace-period kthread to be checking for incoming
callbacks while waiting for grace periods. Also, instead of waiting
for a new grace period, it waits for the closest grace period that will
cause some of the callbacks to be safe to invoke. All of these changes
reduce callback latency and thus the number of outstanding callbacks,
in turn reducing the probability of an out-of-memory condition.

The idea behind the checks for extended quiescent states at the end of
__call_rcu_nocb() is to handle cases where call_rcu() is invoked directly
from within an extended quiescent state, for example, from the idle loop.
However, this will result in a timer-mediated deferred wakeup, which
will cause the needed wakeup to happen within a jiffy or thereabouts.
There should be no forward-progress concerns, and if there are, the proper
response is to exit the extended quiescent state while executing the
endless blast of call_rcu() invocations, for example, using RCU_NONIDLE().
Given the more realistic case of an isolated call_rcu() invocation, there
should be no problem.

In theory, a timer is used to defer wakeups of no-CBs grace-period
kthreads when the wakeup cannot be done safely directly from the
call_rcu(). In practice, the one-jiffy delay is not always consistent
with timely callback invocation under heavy call_rcu() loads. Therefore,
there are a number of checks for a pending deferred wakeup, including
from the scheduling-clock interrupt. Unfortunately, this check follows
the rcu_nohz_full_cpu() early exit, which renders it useless on such CPUs.
This commit therefore moves the check for the pending deferred no-CB
wakeup to precede the rcu_nohz_full_cpu() early exit.

Currently, there is one no-CBs rcuo kthread per CPU, and these kthreads
are divided into groups. The first rcuo kthread to come online in a
given group is that group's leader, and the leader both waits for grace
periods and invokes its CPU's callbacks. The non-leader rcuo kthreads
only invoke callbacks.
This works well in the real-time/embedded environments for which it was
intended because such environments tend not to generate all that many
callbacks. However, given huge floods of callbacks, it is possible for
the leader kthread to be stuck invoking callbacks while its followers
wait helplessly while their callbacks pile up. This is a good recipe
for an OOM, and rcutorture's new callback-flood capability does generate
such OOMs.
One strategy would be to wait until such OOMs start happening in
production, but similar OOMs have in fact happened starting in 2018.
It would therefore be wise to take a more proactive approach.
This commit therefore features per-CPU rcuo kthreads that do nothing
but invoke callbacks. Instead of having one of these kthreads act as
leader, each group has a separate rcog kthread that handles grace periods
for its group. Because these rcuog kthreads do not invoke callbacks,
callback floods on one CPU no longer block callbacks from reaching the
rcuc callback-invocation kthreads on other CPUs.
This change does introduce additional kthreads, however:
1. The number of additional kthreads is about the square root of
the number of CPUs, so that a 4096-CPU system would have only
about 64 additional kthreads. Note that recent changes
decreased the number of rcuo kthreads by a factor of two
(CONFIG_PREEMPT=n) or even three (CONFIG_PREEMPT=y), so
this still represents a significant improvement on most systems.
2. The leading "rcuo" of the rcuog kthreads should allow existing
scripting to affinity these additional kthreads as needed, the
same as for the rcuop and rcuos kthreads. (There are no longer
any rcuob kthreads.)
3. A state-machine approach was considered and rejected. Although
this would allow the rcuo kthreads to continue their dual
leader/follower roles, it complicates callback invocation
and makes it more difficult to consolidate rcuo callback
invocation with existing softirq callback invocation.
The introduction of rcuog kthreads should thus be acceptable.

It is possible that the rcuperf kernel test runs concurrently with init
starting up. During this time, the system is running all grace periods
as expedited. However, rcuperf can also be run for normal GP tests.
Right now, it depends on a holdoff time before starting the test to
ensure grace periods start later. This works fine with the default
holdoff time however it is not robust in situations where init takes
greater than the holdoff time to finish running. Or, as in my case:
I modified the rcuperf test locally to also run a thread that did
preempt disable/enable in a loop. This had the effect of slowing down
init. The end result was that the "batches:" counter in rcuperf was 0
causing a division by 0 error in the results. This counter was 0 because
only expedited GPs seem to happen, not normal ones which led to the
rcu_state.gp_seq counter remaining constant across grace periods which
unexpectedly happen to be expedited. The system was running expedited
RCU all the time because rcu_unexpedited_gp() would not have run yet
from init. In other words, the test would concurrently with init
booting in expedited GP mode.
To fix this properly, this commit waits until system_state is set to
SYSTEM_RUNNING before starting the test. This change is made just
before kernel_init() invokes rcu_end_inkernel_boot(), and this latter
is what turns off boot-time expediting of RCU grace periods.

Commit bb73c52bad ("rcu: Don't disable preemption for Tiny and Tree
RCU readers") removed the barrier() calls from rcu_read_lock() and
rcu_write_lock() in CONFIG_PREEMPT=n&&CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT=n kernels.
Within RCU, this commit was OK, but it failed to account for things like
get_user() that can pagefault and that can be reordered by the compiler.
Lack of the barrier() calls in rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock()
can cause these page faults to migrate into RCU read-side critical
sections, which in CONFIG_PREEMPT=n kernels could result in too-short
grace periods and arbitrary misbehavior. Please see commit 386afc9114
("spinlocks and preemption points need to be at least compiler barriers")
and Linus's commit 66be4e66a7 ("rcu: locking and unlocking need to
always be at least barriers"), this last of which restores the barrier()
call to both rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock().
This commit removes barrier() calls that are no longer needed given that
the addition of them in Linus's commit noted above. The combination of
this commit and Linus's commit effectively reverts commit bb73c52bad
("rcu: Don't disable preemption for Tiny and Tree RCU readers").

[ paulmck: Fix embarrassing typo located by Alan Stern. ]
Because __rcu_read_unlock() can be preempted just before the call to
rcu_read_unlock_special(), it is possible for a task to be preempted just
before it would have fully exited its RCU read-side critical section.
This would result in a needless extension of that critical section until
that task was resumed, which might in turn result in a needlessly
long grace period, needless RCU priority boosting, and needless
force-quiescent-state actions. Therefore, rcu_note_context_switch()
invokes __rcu_read_unlock() followed by rcu_preempt_deferred_qs() when
it detects this situation. This action by rcu_note_context_switch()
ends the RCU read-side critical section immediately.
Of course, once the task resumes, it will invoke rcu_read_unlock_special()
redundantly. This is harmless because the fact that a preemption
happened means that interrupts, preemption, and softirqs cannot
have been disabled, so there would be no deferred quiescent state.
While ->rcu_read_lock_nesting remains less than zero, none of the
->rcu_read_unlock_special.b bits can be set, and they were all zeroed by
the call to rcu_note_context_switch() at task-preemption time. Therefore,
setting ->rcu_read_unlock_special.b.exp_hint to false has no effect.
Therefore, the extra call to rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_irqrestore()
would return immediately. With one possible exception, which is
if an expedited grace period started just as the task was being
resumed, which could leave ->exp_deferred_qs set. This will cause
rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_irqrestore() to invoke rcu_report_exp_rdp(),
reporting the quiescent state, just as it should. (Such an expedited
grace period won't affect the preemption code path due to interrupts
having already been disabled.)
But when rcu_note_context_switch() invokes __rcu_read_unlock(), it
is doing so with preemption disabled, hence __rcu_read_unlock() will
unconditionally defer the quiescent state, only to immediately invoke
rcu_preempt_deferred_qs(), thus immediately reporting the deferred
quiescent state. It turns out to be safe (and faster) to instead
just invoke rcu_preempt_deferred_qs() without the __rcu_read_unlock()
middleman.
Because this is the invocation during the preemption (as opposed to
the invocation just after the resume), at least one of the bits in
->rcu_read_unlock_special.b must be set and ->rcu_read_lock_nesting
must be negative. This means that rcu_preempt_need_deferred_qs() must
return true, avoiding the early exit from rcu_preempt_deferred_qs().
Thus, rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_irqrestore() will be invoked immediately,
as required.
This commit therefore simplifies the CONFIG_PREEMPT=y version of
rcu_note_context_switch() by removing the "else if" branch of its
"if" statement. This change means that all callers that would have
invoked rcu_read_unlock_special() followed by rcu_preempt_deferred_qs()
will now simply invoke rcu_preempt_deferred_qs(), thus avoiding the
rcu_read_unlock_special() middleman when __rcu_read_unlock() is preempted.

Threaded interrupts provide additional interesting interactions between
RCU and raise_softirq() that can result in self-deadlocks in v5.0-2 of
the Linux kernel. These self-deadlocks can be provoked in susceptible
kernels within a few minutes using the following rcutorture command on
an 8-CPU system:
tools/testing/selftests/rcutorture/bin/kvm.sh --duration 5 --configs "TREE03" --bootargs "threadirqs"
Although post-v5.2 RCU commits have at least greatly reduced the
probability of these self-deadlocks, this was entirely by accident.
Although this sort of accident should be rowdily celebrated on those
rare occasions when it does occur, such celebrations should be quickly
followed by a principled patch, which is what this patch purports to be.
The key point behind this patch is that when in_interrupt() returns
true, __raise_softirq_irqoff() will never attempt a wakeup. Therefore,
if in_interrupt(), calls to raise_softirq*() are both safe and
extremely cheap.
This commit therefore replaces the in_irq() calls in the "if" statement
in rcu_read_unlock_special() with in_interrupt() and simplifies the
"if" condition to the following:
if (irqs_were_disabled && use_softirq &&
(in_interrupt() ||
(exp && !t->rcu_read_unlock_special.b.deferred_qs))) {
raise_softirq_irqoff(RCU_SOFTIRQ);
} else {
/* Appeal to the scheduler. */
}
The rationale behind the "if" condition is as follows:
1. irqs_were_disabled: If interrupts are enabled, we should
instead appeal to the scheduler so as to let the upcoming
irq_enable()/local_bh_enable() do the rescheduling for us.
2. use_softirq: If this kernel isn't using softirq, then
raise_softirq_irqoff() will be unhelpful.
3. a. in_interrupt(): If this returns true, the subsequent
call to raise_softirq_irqoff() is guaranteed not to
do a wakeup, so that call will be both very cheap and
quite safe.
b. Otherwise, if !in_interrupt() the raise_softirq_irqoff()
might do a wakeup, which is expensive and, in some
contexts, unsafe.
i. The "exp" (an expedited RCU grace period is being
blocked) says that the wakeup is worthwhile, and:
ii. The !.deferred_qs says that scheduler locks
cannot be held, so the wakeup will be safe.
Backporting this requires considerable care, so no auto-backport, please!

In !use_softirq runs, we clearly cannot rely on raise_softirq() and
its lightweight bit setting, so we must instead do some form of wakeup.
In the absence of a self-IPI when interrupts are disabled, these wakeups
can be delayed until the next interrupt occurs. This means that calling
invoke_rcu_core() doesn't actually do any expediting.
In this case, it is better to take the "else" clause, which sets the
current CPU's resched bits and, if there is an expedited grace period
in flight, uses IRQ-work to force the needed self-IPI. This commit
therefore removes the "else if" clause that calls invoke_rcu_core().

because it turns back the Linux-kernel clock in order to provide these
alternative definitions (or the moral equivalent thereof):

Once removed, an rcu_torture element can be deferred-freed by a chain
of call_rcu() invocations, with each callback invoking another round of

some of the rcu_torture elements will be "stranded" partway through the

rcu_torture_writer() due to lack of forward progress should the test
end just at the end of a stutter interval.

In !PREEMPT kernels, cond_resched() is a no-op. In NO_HZ_FULL kernels,
in-kernel execution (such as that of rcutorture's kthreads) might extend
indefinitely without the scheduler gaining the aid of a scheduling-clock
interrupt. This combination can make the interaction of an rcutorture
forward-progress test and a CPU-hotplug stop_machine operation make less
forward progress than one might like. Additionally, Sebastian Siewior
notes that NO_HZ_FULL kernels have a scheduler check upon return to
userspace execution, which suggests that in-kernel emulation of tight
userspace loops containing system calls doing call_rcu() might also need
explicit checks in the PREEMPT && NO_HZ_FULL case.
This commit therefore introduces a rcu_torture_fwd_prog_cond_resched()
function that explicitly invokes schedule() in such kernels whenever
need_resched() returns true, while retaining use of cond_resched()
for kernels that are either !PREEMPT or !NO_HZ_FULL.

get freed after everything goes quiescent. In addition, this commit
causes torture_stutter() to give a bit more than one second (instead of
only one jiffy) warning of the end of the stutter interval. Finally,

rcu-callback moves it back to GP_IDLE unless another enter()
comes before a GP pass.
If rcu-callback is invoked before the next rcu_sync_exit() it
must see gp_count incremented by that enter() and set GP_PASSED.

Adding DEFINE_SRCU() or DEFINE_STATIC_SRCU() to a loadable module requires
that the size of the reserved region be increased, which is not something
we want to be doing all that often. One approach would be to require
that loadable modules define an srcu_struct and invoke init_srcu_struct()
from their module_init function and cleanup_srcu_struct() from their
module_exit function. However, this is more than a bit user unfriendly.
This commit therefore creates an ___srcu_struct_ptrs linker section,
and pointers to srcu_struct structures created by DEFINE_SRCU() and
DEFINE_STATIC_SRCU() within a module are placed into that module's
___srcu_struct_ptrs section. The required init_srcu_struct() and
cleanup_srcu_struct() functions are then automatically invoked as needed
when that module is loaded and unloaded, thus allowing modules to continue
to use DEFINE_SRCU() and DEFINE_STATIC_SRCU() while avoiding the need
to increase the size of the reserved region.
Many of the algorithms and some of the code was cheerfully cherry-picked
from other code making use of linker sections, perhaps most notably from
tracepoints. All bugs are nevertheless the sole property of the author.

It would be good to combine the dynticks and dynticks_nesting counters
in order to simplify the code. Unfortunately, there are concerns
about usermode upcalls appearing to RCU as half of an interrupt, as
Byungchul learned [1]. The "half" in "half interrupt" is due to an
unpaired rcu_irq_enter(): Normally, each rcu_irq_enter() has a later
call to rcu_irq_exit().
Out of an abundance of caution, Paul added warnings [2] in the RCU
code which if not fired by 2021 will be interpreted as meaning that
this half-interrupt scenario cannot happen any more, thus permitting
simplification of this code.
In the meantime, this commit makes the following changes:
(1) Combining these two counters requires that rcu_rrupt_from_idle()
is invoked only from hard-interrupt contexts as discussed here [3].
This commit therefore adds the required lockdep_assert_in_irq()
to check this constraint.
(2) Furthermore, rcu_rrupt_from_idle() is not explicit about how it
is using the counters which can lead to weird future bugs. This
commit therefore adds comments indicating the meaning and use of
each counter.
(3) Lastly, this commit checks for counter underflows as another check
that half interrupts don't occur. (Previously, the function would
simply return true upon underflow.)
All these checks checks are NOOPs if PROVE_LOCKING (and thus PROVE_RCU)
are disabled.

The sync_sched_exp_online_cleanup() is invoked at online time to handle
the case where the start of an expedited grace period ran concurrently

It checks to see if RCU needs an expedited quiescent state from the
incoming CPU, sending it an IPI if so. However, it is quite possible
that sync_sched_exp_online_cleanup() is running on that CPU, in which
case it is considerably less overhead to simply request the quiescent

This commit therefore places the last few lines of rcu_exp_handler()

This also reduces the rcu_exp_handler() function's state space by

When rcu_read_unlock_special() is invoked with interrupts disabled, is
either not in an interrupt handler or is not using RCU_SOFTIRQ, is not
the first RCU read-side critical section in the chain, and either there
is an expedited grace period in flight or this is a NO_HZ_FULL kernel,
the end of the grace period can be unduly delayed. The reason for this
is that it is not safe to do wakeups in this situation.
This commit fixes this problem by using the irq_work subsystem to
force a later interrupt handler in a clean environment. Because
set_tsk_need_resched(current) and set_preempt_need_resched() are
invoked prior to this, the scheduler will force a context switch
upon return from this interrupt (though perhaps at the end of any
interrupted preempt-disable or BH-disable region of code), which will
invoke rcu_note_context_switch() (again in a clean environment), which
will in turn give RCU the chance to report the deferred quiescent state.
Of course, by then this task might be within another RCU read-side
critical section. But that will be detected at that time and reporting
will be further deferred to the outermost rcu_read_unlock(). See
rcu_preempt_need_deferred_qs() and rcu_preempt_deferred_qs() for more

Currently, rcu_read_unlock_special() will do wakeups whenever it is safe
to do so. However, wakeups are expensive, and they are only really
needed when the just-ended RCU read-side critical section is blocking
an expedited grace period (in which case speed is of the essence)
or on a nohz_full CPU (where it might be a good long time before an
interrupt arrives). This commit therefore checks for these conditions,
and does the expensive wakeups only if doing so would be useful.
Note it can be rather expensive to determine whether or not the current
task (as opposed to the current CPU) is blocking the current expedited
grace period. Doing so requires traversing the ->blkd_tasks list, which
can be quite long. This commit therefore cheats: If the current task
is on a given ->blkd_tasks list, and some task on that list is blocking
the current expedited grace period, the code assumes that the current
task is blocking that expedited grace period.

When RCU core processing is offloaded from RCU_SOFTIRQ to the rcuc
kthreads, a full and unconditional wakeup is required to initiate RCU
core processing. In contrast, when RCU core processing is carried
out by RCU_SOFTIRQ, a raise_softirq() suffices. Of course, there are
situations where raise_softirq() does a full wakeup, but these do not
occur with normal usage of rcu_read_unlock().
The reason that full wakeups can be problematic is that the scheduler
sometimes invokes rcu_read_unlock() with its pi or rq locks held,
which can of course result in deadlock in CONFIG_PREEMPT=y kernels when
rcu_read_unlock() invokes the scheduler. Scheduler invocations can happen
in the following situations: (1) The just-ended reader has been subjected
to RCU priority boosting, in which case rcu_read_unlock() must deboost,
(2) Interrupts were disabled across the call to rcu_read_unlock(), so
the quiescent state must be deferred, requiring a wakeup of the rcuc
kthread corresponding to the current CPU.
Now, the scheduler may hold one of its locks across rcu_read_unlock()
only if preemption has been disabled across the entire RCU read-side
critical section, which in the days prior to RCU flavor consolidation
meant that rcu_read_unlock() never needed to do wakeups. However, this
is no longer the case for any but the first rcu_read_unlock() following a
condition (e.g., preempted RCU reader) requiring special rcu_read_unlock()
attention. For example, an RCU read-side critical section might be
preempted, but preemption might be disabled across the rcu_read_unlock().
The rcu_read_unlock() must defer the quiescent state, and therefore
leaves the task queued on its leaf rcu_node structure. If a scheduler
interrupt occurs, the scheduler might well invoke rcu_read_unlock() with
one of its locks held. However, the preempted task is still queued, so
rcu_read_unlock() will attempt to defer the quiescent state once more.
When RCU core processing is carried out by RCU_SOFTIRQ, this works just
fine: The raise_softirq() function simply sets a bit in a per-CPU mask
and the RCU core processing will be undertaken upon return from interrupt.
Not so when RCU core processing is carried out by the rcuc kthread: In this
case, the required wakeup can result in deadlock.
The initial solution to this problem was to use set_tsk_need_resched() and
set_preempt_need_resched() to force a future context switch, which allows
rcu_preempt_note_context_switch() to report the deferred quiescent state
to RCU's core processing. Unfortunately for expedited grace periods,
there can be a significant delay between the call for a context switch
and the actual context switch.
This commit therefore introduces a ->deferred_qs flag to the task_struct
structure's rcu_special structure. This flag is initially false, and
is set to true by the first call to rcu_read_unlock() requiring special
attention, then finally reset back to false when the quiescent state is
finally reported. Then rcu_read_unlock() attempts full wakeups only when
->deferred_qs is false, that is, on the first rcu_read_unlock() requiring
special attention. Note that a chain of RCU readers linked by some other
sort of reader may find that a later rcu_read_unlock() is once again able
to do a full wakeup, courtesy of an intervening preemption:
rcu_read_lock();
/* preempted */
local_irq_disable();
rcu_read_unlock(); /* Can do full wakeup, sets ->deferred_qs. */
rcu_read_lock();
local_irq_enable();
preempt_disable()
rcu_read_unlock(); /* Cannot do full wakeup, ->deferred_qs set. */
rcu_read_lock();
preempt_enable();
/* preempted, >deferred_qs reset. */
local_irq_disable();
rcu_read_unlock(); /* Can again do full wakeup, sets ->deferred_qs. */
Such linked RCU readers do not yet seem to appear in the Linux kernel, and
it is probably best if they don't. However, RCU needs to handle them, and
some variations on this theme could make even raise_softirq() unsafe due to
the possibility of its doing a full wakeup. This commit therefore also
avoids invoking raise_softirq() when the ->deferred_qs set flag is set.

Some workloads need to change kthread priority for RCU core processing
without affecting other softirq work. This commit therefore introduces
the rcutree.use_softirq kernel boot parameter, which moves the RCU core
work from softirq to a per-CPU SCHED_OTHER kthread named rcuc. Use of
SCHED_OTHER approach avoids the scalability problems that appeared
with the earlier attempt to move RCU core processing to from softirq
to kthreads. That said, kernels built with RCU_BOOST=y will run the
rcuc kthreads at the RCU-boosting priority.
Note that rcutree.use_softirq=0 must be specified to move RCU core
processing to the rcuc kthreads: rcutree.use_softirq=1 is the default.

The cleanup_srcu_struct_quiesced() function was added because NVME
used WQ_MEM_RECLAIM workqueues and SRCU did not, which meant that
NVME workqueues waiting on SRCU workqueues could result in deadlocks
during low-memory conditions. However, SRCU now also has WQ_MEM_RECLAIM
workqueues, so there is no longer a potential for deadlock. Furthermore,
it turns out to be extremely hard to use cleanup_srcu_struct_quiesced()
correctly due to the fact that SRCU callback invocation accesses the
srcu_struct structure's per-CPU data area just after callbacks are
invoked. Therefore, the usual practice of using srcu_barrier() to wait
for callbacks to be invoked before invoking cleanup_srcu_struct_quiesced()
fails because SRCU's callback-invocation workqueue handler might be
delayed, which can result in cleanup_srcu_struct_quiesced() being invoked
(and thus freeing the per-CPU data) before the SRCU's callback-invocation
workqueue handler is finished using that per-CPU data. Nor is this a
theoretical problem: KASAN emitted use-after-free warnings because of
this problem on actual runs.
In short, NVME can now safely invoke cleanup_srcu_struct(), which
avoids the use-after-free scenario. And cleanup_srcu_struct_quiesced()
is quite difficult to use safely. This commit therefore removes
cleanup_srcu_struct_quiesced(), switching its sole user back to
cleanup_srcu_struct(). This effectively reverts the following pair
of commits:

If someone fails to drain the corresponding SRCU callbacks (for
example, by failing to invoke srcu_barrier()) before invoking either
cleanup_srcu_struct() or cleanup_srcu_struct_quiesced(), the resulting
diagnostic is an ambiguous use-after-free diagnostic, and even then
only if you are running something like KASAN. This commit therefore
improves SRCU diagnostics by adding checks for in-flight callbacks at
_cleanup_srcu_struct() time.
Note that these diagnostics can still be defeated, for example, by
invoking call_srcu() concurrently with cleanup_srcu_struct(). Which is
a really bad idea, but sometimes all too easy to do. But even then,
these diagnostics have at least some probability of catching the problem.

This commit prints a console message when cpulist_parse() reports a
bad list of CPUs, and sets all CPUs' bits in that case. The reason for
setting all CPUs' bits is that this is the safe(r) choice for real-time
workloads, which would normally be the ones using the rcu_nocbs= kernel
boot parameter. Either way, later RCU console log messages list the
actual set of CPUs whose RCU callbacks will be offloaded.

Currently, the rcu_nocbs= kernel boot parameter requires that a specific
list of CPUs be specified, and has no way to say "all of them".
As noted by user RavFX in a comment to Phoronix topic 1002538, this
is an inconvenient side effect of the removal of the RCU_NOCB_CPU_ALL
Kconfig option. This commit therefore enables the rcu_nocbs= kernel boot
parameter to be given the string "all", as in "rcu_nocbs=all" to specify
that all CPUs on the system are to have their RCU callbacks offloaded.
Another approach would be to make cpulist_parse() check for "all", but
there are uses of cpulist_parse() that do other checking, which could
conflict with an "all". This commit therefore focuses on the specific
use of cpulist_parse() in rcu_nocb_setup().

faster. RavFX's comment was posted on January 22, 2018 and I first saw
it on March 5, 2019. And the only reason that I found it -at- -all- was
that I was looking for projects using RCU, and my search engine showed
me that Phoronix comment quite by accident. Your choice, though! ;-)

The rcutree.kthread_prio kernel-boot parameter is used to set the
priority for boost (rcub), per-CPU (rcuc), and grace-period (rcu_preempt
or rcu_sched) kthreads. It is also used by rcutorture to check whether
it is possible to meaningfully test RCU priority boosting. However,
all of these cases will either ignore or be confused by any post-boot
changes to rcutree.kthread_prio.
Note that the user really can change the priorities of all of these
kthreads using chrt, given sufficient privileges. Therefore, the
read-write nature of sysfs access to rcutree.kthread_prio is thus at
best an attractive nuisance.
This commit therefore changes sysfs access to rcutree.kthread_prio to
be read-only.

The purpose of exit_rcu() is to handle cases where buggy code causes a
task to exit within an RCU read-side critical section. It currently
does that in the case where said RCU read-side critical section was
preempted at least once, but fails to handle cases where preemption did
not occur. This case needs to be handled because otherwise the final
context switch away from the exiting task will incorrectly behave as if
task exit were instead a preemption of an RCU read-side critical section,
and will therefore queue the exiting task. The exiting task will have
exited, and thus won't ever execute rcu_read_unlock(), which means that
it will remain queued forever, blocking all subsequent grace periods,
and eventually resulting in OOM.
Although this is arguably better than letting grace periods proceed
and having a later rcu_read_unlock() access the now-freed task
structure that once belonged to the exiting tasks, it would obviously
be better to correctly handle this case. This commit therefore sets
->rcu_read_lock_nesting to 1 in that case, so that the subsequence call
to __rcu_read_unlock() causes the exiting task to exit its dangling RCU
read-side critical section.
Note that deferred quiescent states need not be considered. The reason
is that removing the task from the ->blkd_tasks[] list in the call to
rcu_preempt_deferred_qs() handles the per-task component of any deferred
quiescent state, and all other components of any deferred quiescent state
are associated with the CPU, which isn't going anywhere until some later
CPU-hotplug operation, which will report any remaining deferred quiescent
states from within the rcu_report_dead() function.
Note also that negative values of ->rcu_read_lock_nesting need not be
considered. First, these won't show up in exit_rcu() unless there is
a serious bug in RCU, and second, setting ->rcu_read_lock_nesting sets
the state so that the RCU read-side critical section will be exited
normally.
Again, this code has no effect unless there has been some prior bug
that prevents a task from leaving an RCU read-side critical section
before exiting. Furthermore, there have been no reports of the bug
fixed by this commit appearing in production. This commit is therefore
absolutely -not- recommended for backporting to -stable.

When there are no callbacks pending on an idle system, I noticed that
RCU softirq is continuously firing. During this the cpu_no_qs is set to
false, and core_needs_qs is set to true indefinitely. This causes
rcu_process_callbacks to be repeatedly called, even though the node
corresponding to the CPU has that CPU's mask bit cleared and the system
is idle. I believe the race is when such mask clearing is done during
idle CPU scan of the quiescent state forcing stage in the kthread
instead of the softirq. Since the rnp mask is cleared, but the flags on
the CPU's rdp are not cleared, the CPU thinks it still needs to report
to core RCU.
Cure this by clearing the core_needs_qs flag when the CPU detects that
its node is already updated which will avoid the unwanted softirq raises
to the benefit of real-time systems.

The rcu_pm_notify() function refuses to switch to/from expedited grace
periods on systems with more than 256 CPUs due to the serialized
initialization of expedited grace periods. However, expedited grace
periods are now initialized in parallel, removing this concern.
This commit therefore removes the checks from rcu_pm_notify(), so that
expedited grace periods are used unconditionally during suspend/resume
and hibernate/wake operations.
As always, real-time workloads wishing to completely avoid expedited
grace periods can use the rcupdate.rcu_normal= kernel parameter.

Beyond a certain point in the CPU-hotplug offline process, timers get
stranded on the outgoing CPU, and won't fire until that CPU comes back
online, which might well be never. This commit therefore adds a hook
in torture_onoff_init() that is invoked from torture_offline(), which
rcutorture uses to occasionally wait for a grace period. This should
result in failures for RCU implementations that rely on stranded timers
eventually firing in the absence of the CPU coming back online.

srcu_queue_delayed_work_on() disables preemption (and therefore CPU
hotplug in RCU's case) and then checks based on its own accounting if a
CPU is online. If the CPU is online it uses queue_delayed_work_on()
otherwise it fallbacks to queue_delayed_work().
The problem here is that queue_work() on -RT does not work with disabled
preemption.
queue_work_on() works also on an offlined CPU. queue_delayed_work_on()
has the problem that it is possible to program a timer on an offlined
CPU. This timer will fire once the CPU is online again. But until then,
the timer remains programmed and nothing will happen.
Add a local timer which will fire (as requested per delay) on the local
CPU and then enqueue the work on the specific CPU.

Although the name rcu_process_callbacks() still makes sense for Tiny
RCU, where most of what it does is invoke callbacks, it no longer makes
much sense for Tree RCU, especially given that the actually callback
invocation is relegated to rcu_do_batch(), or, for no-CBs CPUs, to the
rcuo kthreads. Especially in the latter case, rcu_process_callbacks()
has very little to do with actual callbacks. A better description of
this function is that it performs RCU's core processing.
This commit therefore changes the name of Tree RCU's rcu_process_callbacks()
function to rcu_core(), which also has the virtue of being consistent with
the existing invoke_rcu_core() function.
While in the area, the header comment is reworked.

The name rcu_check_callbacks() arguably made sense back in the early
2000s when RCU was quite a bit simpler than it is today, but it has
become quite misleading, especially with the advent of dyntick-idle
and NO_HZ_FULL. The rcu_check_callbacks() function is RCU's hook into
the scheduling-clock interrupt, and is now but one of many ways that
callbacks get promoted to invocable state.
This commit therefore changes the name to rcu_sched_clock_irq(),
which is the same number of characters and clearly indicates this
function's relation to the rest of the Linux kernel. In addition, for
the sake of consistency, rcu_flavor_check_callbacks() is also renamed
to rcu_flavor_sched_clock_irq().
While in the area, the header comments for both functions are reworked.

The rcu_gp_kthread_wake() function is invoked when it might be necessary
to wake the RCU grace-period kthread. Because self-wakeups are normally
a useless waste of CPU cycles, if rcu_gp_kthread_wake() is invoked from
this kthread, it naturally refuses to do the wakeup.
Unfortunately, natural though it might be, this heuristic fails when
rcu_gp_kthread_wake() is invoked from an interrupt or softirq handler
that interrupted the grace-period kthread just after the final check of
the wait-event condition but just before the schedule() call. In this
case, a wakeup is required, even though the call to rcu_gp_kthread_wake()
is within the RCU grace-period kthread's context. Failing to provide
this wakeup can result in grace periods failing to start, which in turn
results in out-of-memory conditions.
This race window is quite narrow, but it actually did happen during real
testing. It would of course need to be fixed even if it was strictly
theoretical in nature.
This patch does not Cc stable because it does not apply cleanly to
earlier kernel versions.

It is perfectly fine to set the rcutree.jiffies_till_first_fqs boot
parameter to zero, in fact, this can be useful on specialty systems that
usually have at least one idle CPU and that need fast grace periods.
This is because this setting causes the RCU grace-period kthread to
scan for idle threads immediately after grace-period initialization,
as opposed to waiting several jiffies to do so.
It is also perfectly fine to set the rcutree.rcu_kick_kthreads kernel
parameter, which gives the RCU grace-period kthread an extra wakeup
if it doesn't make progress for a period of three times the setting of
the rcutree.jiffies_till_first_fqs boot parameter. This is of course
problematic when the value of this parameter is zero, as it can result
in unnecessary wakeup IPIs along with unnecessary WARN_ONCE() invocations.

regardless of the setting of rcutree.jiffies_till_first_fqs.

Back when there were multiple flavors of RCU, it was necessary to
separately count lazy and non-lazy callbacks for each CPU. These counts

But now that there is only one flavor, the callback counts for a given

This commit therefore removes the rcu_data structure's ->nonlazy_posted

Back when there could be multiple RCU flavors running in the same kernel

During expedited RCU grace-period initialization, IPIs are sent to
all non-idle online CPUs. The IPI handler checks to see if the CPU is
in quiescent state, reporting one if so. This handler looks at three
different cases: (1) The CPU is not in an rcu_read_lock()-based critical
section, (2) The CPU is in the process of exiting an rcu_read_lock()-based
critical section, and (3) The CPU is in an rcu_read_lock()-based critical
section. In case (2), execution falls through into case (3).
This is harmless from a functionality viewpoint, but can result in

The srcu_gp_start() function is called with the srcu_struct structure's
->lock held, but not with the srcu_data structure's ->lock. This is
problematic because this function accesses and updates the srcu_data

hold this lock can result in corruption of the SRCU callback lists,
which in turn can result in arbitrarily bad results.
This commit therefore makes srcu_gp_start() acquire the srcu_data

In PREEMPT kernels, an expedited grace period might send an IPI to a
CPU that is executing an RCU read-side critical section. In that case,
it would be nice if the rcu_read_unlock() directly interacted with the
RCU core code to immediately report the quiescent state. And this does
happen in the case where the reader has been preempted. But it would
also be a nice performance optimization if immediate reporting also
happened in the preemption-free case.
This commit therefore adds an ->exp_hint field to the task_struct structure's
->rcu_read_unlock_special field. The IPI handler sets this hint when
it has interrupted an RCU read-side critical section, and this causes
the outermost rcu_read_unlock() call to invoke rcu_read_unlock_special(),
which, if preemption is enabled, reports the quiescent state immediately.
If preemption is disabled, then the report is required to be deferred
until preemption (or bottom halves or interrupts or whatever) is re-enabled.
Because this is a hint, it does nothing for more complicated cases. For
example, if the IPI interrupts an RCU reader, but interrupts are disabled
across the rcu_read_unlock(), but another rcu_read_lock() is executed
before interrupts are re-enabled, the hint will already have been cleared.
If you do crazy things like this, reporting will be deferred until some
later RCU_SOFTIRQ handler, context switch, cond_resched(), or similar.

The CPU-selection code in sync_rcu_exp_select_cpus() disables preemption
to prevent the cpu_online_mask from changing. However, this relies on
the stop-machine mechanism in the CPU-hotplug offline code, which is not
desirable (it would be good to someday remove the stop-machine mechanism).
This commit therefore instead uses the relevant leaf rcu_node structure's
->ffmask, which has a bit set for all CPUs that are fully functional.
A given CPU's bit is cleared very early during offline processing by
rcutree_offline_cpu() and set very late during online processing by
rcutree_online_cpu(). Therefore, if a CPU's bit is set in this mask, and
preemption is disabled, we have to be before the synchronize_sched() in
the CPU-hotplug offline code, which means that the CPU is guaranteed to be
workqueue-ready throughout the duration of the enclosing preempt_disable()
region of code.
This also has the side-effect of using WORK_CPU_UNBOUND if all the CPUs for
this leaf rcu_node structure are offline, which is an acceptable difference
in behavior.

Ever since cdf7abc461 ("srcu: Allow use of Tiny/Tree SRCU from
both process and interrupt context"), it has been permissible
to use SRCU read-side critical sections in interrupt context.
This allows __call_srcu() to use SRCU read-side critical sections to
prevent a new SRCU grace period from ending before the call to either
srcu_funnel_gp_start() or srcu_funnel_exp_start completes, thus preventing
SRCU grace-period counter overflow during that time.
Note that this does not permit removal of the counter-wrap checks in
srcu_gp_end(). These check are necessary to handle the case where
a given CPU does not interact at all with SRCU for an extended time

Event tracing is moving to SRCU in order to take advantage of the fact
that SRCU may be safely used from idle and even offline CPUs. However,
event tracing can invoke call_srcu() very early in the boot process,
even before workqueue_init_early() is invoked (let alone rcu_init()).
Therefore, call_srcu()'s attempts to queue work fail miserably.
This commit therefore detects this situation, and refrains from attempting
to queue work before rcu_init() time, but does everything else that it
would have done, and in addition, adds the srcu_struct to a global list.
The rcu_init() function now invokes a new srcu_init() function, which
is empty if CONFIG_SRCU=n. Otherwise, srcu_init() queues work for
each srcu_struct on the list. This all happens early enough in boot
that there is but a single CPU with interrupts disabled, which allows
synchronization to be dispensed with.
Of course, the queued work won't actually be invoked until after
workqueue_init() is invoked, which happens shortly after the scheduler
is up and running. This means that although call_srcu() may be invoked
any time after per-CPU variables have been set up, there is still a very
narrow window when synchronize_srcu() won't work, and this window
extends from the time that the scheduler starts until the time that
workqueue_init() returns. This can be fixed in a manner similar to
the fix for synchronize_rcu_expedited() and friends, but until someone
actually needs to use synchronize_srcu() during this window, this fix
is added churn for no benefit.
Finally, note that Tree SRCU's new srcu_init() function invokes
queue_work() rather than the queue_delayed_work() function that is
invoked post-boot. The reason is that queue_delayed_work() will (as you
would expect) post a timer, and timers have not yet been initialized.
So use of queue_work() avoids the complaints about use of uninitialized
spinlocks that would otherwise result. Besides, some delay is already
provide by the aforementioned fact that the queued work won't actually
be invoked until after the scheduler is up and running.

The jiffies_till_sched_qs value used to determine how old a grace period
must be before RCU enlists the help of the scheduler to force a quiescent
state on the holdout CPU. Currently, this defaults to HZ/10 regardless of
system size and may be set only at boot time. This can be a problem for
very large systems, because if the values of the jiffies_till_first_fqs
and jiffies_till_next_fqs kernel parameters are left at their defaults,
they are calculated to increase as the number of CPUs actually configured
on the system increases. Thus, on a sufficiently large system, RCU would
enlist the help of the scheduler before the grace-period kthread had a
chance to scan for idle CPUs, which wastes CPU time.
This commit therefore allows jiffies_till_sched_qs to be set, if desired,
but if left as default, computes is as jiffies_till_first_fqs plus twice
jiffies_till_next_fqs, thus allowing three force-quiescent-state scans

This commit therefore causes rcu_check_callbacks() to ask the scheduler
for a context switch if there are callbacks posted that are still waiting
for a grace period.

Now that RCU can have readers with multiple segments, it is quite
possible that a specific sequence of reader segments might result in
an rcutorture failure (reader spans a full grace period as detected
by one of the grace-period primitives) or an rcutorture close call
(reader potentially spans a full grace period based on reading out
the RCU implementation's grace-period counter, but with no ordering).
In such cases, it would clearly ease debugging if the offending specific
sequence was known. For the first reader encountering a failure or a
close call, this commit therefore dumps out the segments, delay durations,
and whether or not the reader was preempted.

[ paulmck: Mark variables static, as suggested by kbuild test robot. ]
The patch making need_resched() respond to urgent RCU-QS needs used
is_idle_task(current) to detect an interrupt from idle, which does work
reasonably, but is (in theory at least) vulnerable to loops containing
need_resched() invoked from within RCU_NONIDLE() or its tracepoint
equivalent. This commit therefore moves rcu_is_cpu_rrupt_from_idle()
to a place from which rcu_check_callbacks() can invoke it and replaces
the is_idle_task(current) with rcu_is_cpu_rrupt_from_idle().
Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
The per-CPU rcu_dynticks.rcu_urgent_qs variable communicates an urgent
need for an RCU quiescent state from the force-quiescent-state processing
within the grace-period kthread to context switches and to cond_resched().
Unfortunately, such urgent needs are not communicated to need_resched(),
which is sometimes used to decide when to invoke cond_resched(), for
but one example, within the KVM vcpu_run() function. As of v4.15, this
can result in synchronize_sched() being delayed by up to ten seconds,
which can be problematic, to say nothing of annoying.
This commit therefore checks rcu_dynticks.rcu_urgent_qs from within
rcu_check_callbacks(), which is invoked from the scheduling-clock
interrupt handler. If the current task is not an idle task and is
not executing in usermode, a context switch is forced, and either way,
the rcu_dynticks.rcu_urgent_qs variable is set to false. If the current
task is an idle task, then RCU's dyntick-idle code will detect the
quiescent state, so no further action is required. Similarly, if the
task is executing in usermode, other code in rcu_check_callbacks() and
its called functions will report the corresponding quiescent state.

This means that any given build of the Linux kernel has only one
update-side flavor of RCU, namely RCU-preempt for CONFIG_PREEMPT=y builds
and RCU-sched for CONFIG_PREEMPT=n builds. This in turn means that kernels
built with CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU=y have only one rcuo kthread per CPU.

Now that the main RCU API knows about softirq disabling and softirq's

This commit therefore removes the RCU-bh update-side implementation and
defines RCU-bh's update-side API in terms of that of either RCU-preempt or
RCU-sched, depending on the setting of the CONFIG_PREEMPT Kconfig option.

This commit reduces the latency of expedited RCU grace periods by
reporting a quiescent state for the CPU at context-switch time.
In CONFIG_PREEMPT=y kernels, if the outgoing task is still within an
RCU read-side critical section (and thus still blocking some grace
period, perhaps including this expedited grace period), then that task
will already have been placed on one of the leaf rcu_node structures'
->blkd_tasks list.

One necessary step towards consolidating the three flavors of RCU is to
make sure that the resulting consolidated "one flavor to rule them all"
correctly handles networking denial-of-service attacks. One thing that
allows RCU-bh to do so is that __do_softirq() invokes rcu_bh_qs() every
so often, and so something similar has to happen for consolidated RCU.
This must be done carefully. For example, if a preemption-disabled
region of code takes an interrupt which does softirq processing before
returning, consolidated RCU must ignore the resulting rcu_bh_qs()
invocations -- preemption is still disabled, and that means an RCU
reader for the consolidated flavor.
This commit therefore creates a new rcu_softirq_qs() that is called only
from the ksoftirqd task, thus avoiding the interrupted-a-preempted-region
problem. This new rcu_softirq_qs() function invokes rcu_sched_qs(),
rcu_preempt_qs(), and rcu_preempt_deferred_qs(). The latter call handles
any deferred quiescent states.
Note that __do_softirq() still invokes rcu_bh_qs(). It will continue to
do so until a later stage of cleanup when the RCU-bh flavor is removed.

RCU's dyntick-idle code is written to tolerate half-interrupts, that it,
either an interrupt that invokes rcu_irq_enter() but never invokes the
corresponding rcu_irq_exit() on the one hand, or an interrupt that never
invokes rcu_irq_enter() but does invoke the "corresponding" rcu_irq_exit()
on the other. These things really did happen at one time, as evidenced
by this ca-2011 LKML post:
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20111014170019.GE2428@linux.vnet.ibm.com
The reason why RCU tolerates half-interrupts is that usermode helpers
used exceptions to invoke a system call from within the kernel such that
the system call did a normal return (not a return from exception) to
the calling context. This caused rcu_irq_enter() to be invoked without
a matching rcu_irq_exit(). However, usermode helpers have since been
rewritten to make much more housebroken use of workqueues, kernel threads,
and do_execve(), and therefore should no longer produce half-interrupts.
No one knows of any other source of half-interrupts, but then again,
no one seems insane enough to go audit the entire kernel to verify that
half-interrupts really are a relic of the past.
This commit therefore adds a pair of WARN_ON_ONCE() calls that will
trigger in the presence of half interrupts, which the code will continue
to handle correctly. If neither of these WARN_ON_ONCE() trigger by
mid-2021, then perhaps RCU can stop handling half-interrupts, which
would be a considerable simplification.

This commit makes the "rcu" torture type test extended read-side

This commit defers reporting of RCU-preempt quiescent states at
rcu_read_unlock_special() time when any of interrupts, softirq, or
preemption are disabled. These deferred quiescent states are reported
at a later RCU_SOFTIRQ, context switch, idle entry, or CPU-hotplug
offline operation. Of course, if another RCU read-side critical
section has started in the meantime, the reporting of the quiescent
state will be further deferred.
This also means that disabling preemption, interrupts, and/or
softirqs will act as an RCU-preempt read-side critical section.
This is enforced by checking preempt_count() as needed.
Some special cases must be handled on an ad-hoc basis, for example,
context switch is a quiescent state even though both the scheduler and
do_exit() disable preemption. In these cases, additional calls to
rcu_preempt_deferred_qs() override the preemption disabling. Similar
logic overrides disabled interrupts in rcu_preempt_check_callbacks()
because in this case the quiescent state happened just before the
corresponding scheduling-clock interrupt.
In theory, this change lifts a long-standing restriction that required
that if interrupts were disabled across a call to rcu_read_unlock()
that the matching rcu_read_lock() also be contained within that
interrupts-disabled region of code. Because the reporting of the
corresponding RCU-preempt quiescent state is now deferred until
after interrupts have been enabled, it is no longer possible for this
situation to result in deadlocks involving the scheduler's runqueue and
priority-inheritance locks. This may allow some code simplification that
might reduce interrupt latency a bit. Unfortunately, in practice this
would also defer deboosting a low-priority task that had been subjected
to RCU priority boosting, so real-time-response considerations might
well force this restriction to remain in place.
Because RCU-preempt grace periods are now blocked not only by RCU
read-side critical sections, but also by disabling of interrupts,
preemption, and softirqs, it will be possible to eliminate RCU-bh and
RCU-sched in favor of RCU-preempt in CONFIG_PREEMPT=y kernels. This may
require some additional plumbing to provide the network denial-of-service
guarantees that have been traditionally provided by RCU-bh. Once these
are in place, CONFIG_PREEMPT=n kernels will be able to fold RCU-bh
into RCU-sched. This would mean that all kernels would have but
one flavor of RCU, which would open the door to significant code
cleanup.
Moving to a single flavor of RCU would also have the beneficial effect
of reducing the NOCB kthreads by at least a factor of two.

When entering or exiting irq or NMI handlers, the current code uses
->dynticks_nmi_nesting to detect if it is in the outermost handler,
that is, the one interrupting or returning to an RCU-idle context (the
idle loop or nohz_full usermode execution). When entering the outermost
handler via an interrupt (as opposed to NMI), it is necessary to invoke
rcu_dynticks_task_exit() just before the CPU is marked non-idle from an
RCU perspective and to invoke rcu_cleanup_after_idle() just after the
CPU is marked non-idle. Similarly, when exiting the outermost handler
via an interrupt, it is necessary to invoke rcu_prepare_for_idle() just
before marking the CPU idle and to invoke rcu_dynticks_task_enter()
just after marking the CPU idle.
The decision to execute these four functions is currently taken in
rcu_irq_enter() and rcu_irq_exit() as follows:
rcu_irq_enter()
/* A conditional branch with ->dynticks_nmi_nesting */
rcu_nmi_enter()
/* A conditional branch with ->dynticks */
/* A conditional branch with ->dynticks_nmi_nesting */
rcu_irq_exit()
/* A conditional branch with ->dynticks_nmi_nesting */
rcu_nmi_exit()
/* A conditional branch with ->dynticks_nmi_nesting */
/* A conditional branch with ->dynticks_nmi_nesting */
rcu_nmi_enter()
/* A conditional branch with ->dynticks */
rcu_nmi_exit()
/* A conditional branch with ->dynticks_nmi_nesting */
This works, but the conditional branches in rcu_irq_enter() and
rcu_irq_exit() are redundant with those in rcu_nmi_enter() and
rcu_nmi_exit(), respectively. Redundant branches are not something
we want in the to/from-idle fastpaths, so this commit refactors
rcu_{nmi,irq}_{enter,exit}() so they use a common inlined function passed
a constant argument as follows:
rcu_irq_enter() inlining rcu_nmi_enter_common(irq=true)
/* A conditional branch with ->dynticks */
rcu_irq_exit() inlining rcu_nmi_exit_common(irq=true)
/* A conditional branch with ->dynticks_nmi_nesting */
rcu_nmi_enter() inlining rcu_nmi_enter_common(irq=false)
/* A conditional branch with ->dynticks */
rcu_nmi_exit() inlining rcu_nmi_exit_common(irq=false)
/* A conditional branch with ->dynticks_nmi_nesting */
The combination of the constant function argument and the inlining allows
the compiler to discard the conditionals that previously controlled
execution of rcu_dynticks_task_exit(), rcu_cleanup_after_idle(),
rcu_prepare_for_idle(), and rcu_dynticks_task_enter(). This reduces both
the to-idle and from-idle path lengths by two conditional branches each,
and improves readability as well.
This commit also changes order of execution from this:
rcu_dynticks_task_exit();
rcu_dynticks_eqs_exit();
trace_rcu_dyntick();
rcu_cleanup_after_idle();
To this:
rcu_dynticks_task_exit();
rcu_dynticks_eqs_exit();
rcu_cleanup_after_idle();
trace_rcu_dyntick();
In other words, the calls to rcu_cleanup_after_idle() and
trace_rcu_dyntick() are reversed. This has no functional effect because
the real concern is whether a given call is before or after the call to
rcu_dynticks_eqs_exit(), and this patch does not change that. Before the
call to rcu_dynticks_eqs_exit(), RCU is not yet watching the current
CPU and after that call RCU is watching.
A similar switch in calling order happens on the idle-entry path, with
similar lack of effect for the same reasons.

Currently, rcutorture provisions rcu_torture_reader() kthreads based
on the initial number of CPUs. This can be problematic when CPU hotplug

a very large number of rcu_torture_reader() kthreads. All of these
kthreads will continue running even if the CPU-hotplug operations result
in only one remaining online CPU. This can result in all sorts of strange
artifacts due simply to massive overload.
This commit therefore causes the rcu_torture_reader() kthreads to start

Currently, rcutorture relies solely on the progress of

When rcutorture is built in to the kernel, an earlier patch detects
that and raises the priority of RCU's kthreads to allow rcutorture's
RCU priority boosting tests to succeed.
However, if rcutorture is built as a module, those priorities must be
raised manually via the rcutree.kthread_prio kernel boot parameter.
If this manual step is not taken, rcutorture's RCU priority boosting
tests will fail due to kthread starvation. One approach would be to
raise the default priority, but that risks breaking existing users.
Another approach would be to allow runtime adjustment of RCU's kthread
priorities, but that introduces numerous "interesting" race conditions.

Currently, with RCU_BOOST disabled, I get no failures when forcing

that we don't check for failures if the callback never ran at all for

Further, the 'rtb' and 'rtbf' counters seem to be used inconsistently.
'rtb' is incremented at the start of each test and 'rtbf' is incremented
per-cpu on each failure of call_rcu. So its possible 'rtbf' > 'rtb'.
To test the boost with rcutorture, I did following on a 4-CPU x86 machine:

Currently this requires accessing sysctl_sched_rt_runtime directly, but

This commit enables rcutorture to test whether RCU properly aggregates
different types of read-side critical sections into a larger section
covering the set. It does this by extending an initial read-side
critical section randomly for a random number of extensions. There is
a new rcu_torture_ops field ->extendable that specifies what extensions
are permitted for a given flavor of RCU (for example, SRCU does not
permit any extensions, while RCU-sched permits all types). Note that
if a given operation (for example, local_bh_disable()) extends an RCU
read-side critical section, then rcutorture feels free to also start
and end the critical section with that operation's type of disabling.
Disabling operations include local_bh_disable(), local_irq_disable(),
and preempt_disable(). This commit also adds a new "busted_srcud"
torture type, which verifies rcutorture's ability to detect extensions
of RCU read-side critical sections that are not handled. Gotta test
the test, after all!
Note that it is not legal to invoke local_bh_disable() with interrupts
disabled, and this transition is avoided by overriding the random-number
generator when it wants to call local_bh_disable() while interrupts
are disabled. The code instead leaves both interrupts and bh/softirq
disabled in this case.

Back when RCU had a debugfs interface, there was a test version and
sequence number that allowed associating debugfs data with a particular
test run, where the test run started with modprobe and ended with rmmod,
which was how tests were run back on the old ABAT system within IBM.
But rcutorture testing no longer runs on ABAT, and there is no longer an
RCU debugfs interface, so there is no longer any need for test versions
and sequence numbers.
This commit therefore removes the rcutorture_record_test_transition()
and rcutorture_record_progress() functions, and along with them the
rcutorture_testseq and rcutorture_vernum variables that they update.

Some RCU bugs have been sensitive to the frequency of CPU-hotplug
operations, which have been gradually increased over time. But this
frequency is now at the one-second lower limit that can be specified using
the rcutorture.onoff_interval kernel parameter. This commit therefore
changes the units of rcutorture.onoff_interval from seconds to jiffies,

The ->dynticks_nmi_nesting field records the nesting depth of both
interrupt and NMI handlers. Because the kernel can enter interrupts
and never leave them (and vice versa) and because NMIs can interrupt
manipulation of the ->dynticks_nmi_nesting field, the values in this
field must be both chosen and maniupated very carefully. As a result,
although the value is zero when the corresponding CPU is executing
neither an interrupt nor an NMI handler, it is 4,611,686,018,427,387,906
on 64-bit systems when there is a single level of interrupt/NMI handling
in progress.

Joel Fernandes found that the synchronize_rcu_tasks() was taking a
significant amount of time. He demonstrated it with the following test:
# cd /sys/kernel/tracing
# while [ 1 ]; do x=1; done &
# echo '__schedule_bug:traceon' > set_ftrace_filter
# time echo '!__schedule_bug:traceon' > set_ftrace_filter;
real 0m1.064s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m0.004s
Where it takes a little over a second to perform the synchronize,
because there's a loop that waits 1 second at a time for tasks to get
through their quiescent points when there's a task that must be waited
for.
After discussion we came up with a simple way to wait for holdouts but
increase the time for each iteration of the loop but no more than a
full second.
With the new patch we have:
# time echo '!__schedule_bug:traceon' > set_ftrace_filter;
real 0m0.131s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m0.004s
Which drops it down to 13% of what the original wait time was.

If any scheduling-clock interrupt interrupts an RCU-preempt read-side
critical section, the interrupted task's ->rcu_read_unlock_special.b.need_qs
field is set. This causes the outermost rcu_read_unlock() to incur the
extra overhead of calling into rcu_read_unlock_special(). This commit
reduces that overhead by setting ->rcu_read_unlock_special.b.need_qs only
if the grace period has been in effect for more than one second.
Why one second? Because this is comfortably smaller than the minimum
RCU CPU stall-warning timeout of three seconds, but long enough that the
.need_qs marking should happen quite rarely. And if your RCU read-side
critical section has run on-CPU for a full second, it is not unreasonable
to invest some CPU time in ending the grace period quickly.

Without special fail-safe quiescent-state-propagation checks, grace-period
hangs can result from the following scenario:
1. CPU 1 goes offline.
2. Because CPU 1 is the only CPU in the system blocking the current
grace period, the grace period ends as soon as
rcu_cleanup_dying_idle_cpu()'s call to rcu_report_qs_rnp()
returns.
3. At this point, the leaf rcu_node structure's ->lock is no longer
held: rcu_report_qs_rnp() has released it, as it must in order
to awaken the RCU grace-period kthread.
4. At this point, that same leaf rcu_node structure's ->qsmaskinitnext
field still records CPU 1 as being online. This is absolutely
necessary because the scheduler uses RCU (in this case on the
wake-up path while awakening RCU's grace-period kthread), and
->qsmaskinitnext contains RCU's idea as to which CPUs are online.
Therefore, invoking rcu_report_qs_rnp() after clearing CPU 1's
bit from ->qsmaskinitnext would result in a lockdep-RCU splat
due to RCU being used from an offline CPU.
5. RCU's grace-period kthread awakens, sees that the old grace period
has completed and that a new one is needed. It therefore starts
a new grace period, but because CPU 1's leaf rcu_node structure's
->qsmaskinitnext field still shows CPU 1 as being online, this new
grace period is initialized to wait for a quiescent state from the
now-offline CPU 1.
6. Without the fail-safe force-quiescent-state checks, there would
be no quiescent state from the now-offline CPU 1, which would
eventually result in RCU CPU stall warnings and memory exhaustion.
It would be good to get rid of the special fail-safe quiescent-state
propagation checks, and thus it would be good to fix things so that
the above scenario cannot happen. This commit therefore adds a new
->ofl_lock to the rcu_state structure. This lock is held by rcu_gp_init()
across the applying of buffered online and offline operations to the
rcu_node tree, and it is also held by rcu_cleanup_dying_idle_cpu()
when buffering a new offline operation. This prevents rcu_gp_init()
from acquiring the leaf rcu_node structure's lock during the interval
between when rcu_cleanup_dying_idle_cpu() invokes rcu_report_qs_rnp(),
which releases ->lock and the re-acquisition of that same lock.
This in turn prevents the failure scenario outlined above, and will
hopefully eventually allow removal of the offline-CPU checks from the
force-quiescent-state code path.

Without special fail-safe quiescent-state-propagation checks, grace-period
hangs can result from the following scenario:
1. A task running on a given CPU is preempted in its RCU read-side
critical section.
2. That CPU goes offline, and there are now no online CPUs
corresponding to that CPU's leaf rcu_node structure.
3. The rcu_gp_init() function does the first phase of grace-period
initialization, and sets the aforementioned leaf rcu_node
structure's ->qsmaskinit field to all zeroes. Because there
is a blocked task, it does not propagate the zeroing of either
->qsmaskinit or ->qsmaskinitnext up the rcu_node tree.
4. The task resumes on some other CPU and exits its critical section.
There is no grace period in progress, so the resulting quiescent
state is not reported up the tree.
5. The rcu_gp_init() function does the second phase of grace-period
initialization, which results in the leaf rcu_node structure
being initialized to expect no further quiescent states, but
with that structure's parent expecting a quiescent-state report.
The parent will never receive a quiescent state from this leaf
rcu_node structure, so the grace period will hang, resulting in
RCU CPU stall warnings.
It would be good to get rid of the special fail-safe quiescent-state
propagation checks. This commit therefore checks the leaf rcu_node
structure's ->wait_blkd_tasks field during grace-period initialization.
If this flag is set, the rcu_report_qs_rnp() is invoked to immediately
report the possible quiescent state. While in the neighborhood, this
commit also report quiescent states for any CPUs that went offline between
the two phases of grace-period initialization, thus reducing grace-period
delays and hopefully eventually allowing removal of offline-CPU checks
from the force-quiescent-state code path.

Consider the following sequence of events in a PREEMPT=y kernel:
1. All CPUs corresponding to a given leaf rcu_node structure are
offline.
2. The first phase of the rcu_gp_init() function's grace-period
initialization runs, and sets that rcu_node structure's
->qsmaskinit to zero, as it should.
3. One of the CPUs corresponding to that rcu_node structure comes
back online. Note that because this CPU came online after the
grace period started, this grace period can safely ignore this
newly onlined CPU.
4. A task running on the newly onlined CPU enters an RCU-preempt
read-side critical section, and is then preempted. Because
the corresponding rcu_node structure's ->qsmask is zero,
rcu_preempt_ctxt_queue() leaves the rcu_node structure's
->gp_tasks field NULL, as it should.
5. The rcu_gp_init() function continues running the second phase of
grace-period initialization. The ->qsmask field of the parent of
the aforementioned leaf rcu_node structure is set to not expect
a quiescent state from the leaf, as is only right and proper.
However, when rcu_gp_init() reaches the leaf, it invokes
rcu_preempt_check_blocked_tasks(), which sees that the leaf's
->blkd_tasks list is non-empty, and therefore sets the leaf's
->gp_tasks field to reference the first task on that list.
6. The grace period ends before the preempted task resumes, which
is perfectly fine, given that this grace period was under no
obligation to wait for that task to exit its late-starting
RCU-preempt read-side critical section. Unfortunately, the
leaf's ->gp_tasks field is non-NULL, so rcu_gp_cleanup() splats.
After all, it appears to rcu_gp_cleanup() that the grace period
failed to wait for a task that was supposed to be blocking that
grace period.
This commit avoids this false-positive splat by adding a check of both
->qsmaskinit and ->wait_blkd_tasks to rcu_preempt_check_blocked_tasks().
If both ->qsmaskinit and ->wait_blkd_tasks are zero, then the task must
have entered its RCU-preempt read-side critical section late (after all,
the CPU that it is running on was not online at that time), which means
that the upper-level rcu_node structure won't be waiting for anything
on the leaf anyway.
If ->wait_blkd_tasks is non-zero, then there is at least one task on
ths rcu_node structure's ->blkd_tasks list whose RCU read-side
critical section predates the current grace period. If ->qsmaskinit
is non-zero, there is at least one CPU that was online at the start
of the current grace period. Thus, if both are zero, there is nothing
to wait for.

Consider the following sequence of events in a PREEMPT=y kernel:
1. All but one of the CPUs corresponding to a given leaf rcu_node
structure go offline. Each of these CPUs clears its bit in that
structure's ->qsmaskinitnext field.
2. A new grace period starts, and rcu_gp_init() scans the leaf
rcu_node structures, applying CPU-hotplug changes since the
start of the previous grace period, including those changes in
#1 above. This copies each leaf structure's ->qsmaskinitnext
to its ->qsmask field, which represents the CPUs that this new
grace period will wait on. Each copy operation is done holding
the corresponding leaf rcu_node structure's ->lock, and at the
end of this scan, rcu_gp_init() holds no locks.
3. The last CPU corresponding to #1's leaf rcu_node structure goes
offline, clearing its bit in that structure's ->qsmaskinitnext
field, but not touching the ->qsmaskinit field. Note that
rcu_gp_init() is not currently holding any locks! This CPU does
-not- report a quiescent state because the grace period has not
yet initialized itself sufficiently to have set any bits in any
of the leaf rcu_node structures' ->qsmask fields.
4. The rcu_gp_init() function continues initializing the new grace
period, copying each leaf rcu_node structure's ->qsmaskinit
field to its ->qsmask field while holding the corresponding ->lock.
This sets the ->qsmask bit corresponding to #3's CPU.
5. Before the grace period ends, #3's CPU comes back online.
Because te grace period has not yet done any force-quiescent-state
scans (which would report a quiescent state on behalf of any
offline CPUs), this CPU's ->qsmask bit is still set.
6. A task running on the newly onlined CPU is preempted while in
an RCU read-side critical section. Because this CPU's ->qsmask
bit is net, not only does this task queue itself on the leaf
rcu_node structure's ->blkd_tasks list, it also sets that
structure's ->gp_tasks pointer to reference it.
7. The grace period started in #1 above comes to an end. This
results in rcu_gp_cleanup() being invoked, which, among other
things, checks to make sure that there are no tasks blocking the
just-ended grace period, that is, that all ->gp_tasks pointers
are NULL. The ->gp_tasks pointer corresponding to the task
preempted in #3 above is non-NULL, which results in a splat.
This splat is a false positive. The task's RCU read-side critical
section cannot have begun before the just-ended grace period because
this would mean either: (1) The CPU came online before the grace period
started, which cannot have happened because the grace period started
before that CPU went offline, or (2) The task started its RCU read-side
critical section on some other CPU, but then it would have had to have
been preempted before migrating to this CPU, which would mean that it
would have instead queued itself on that other CPU's rcu_node structure.
RCU's grace periods thus are working correctly. Or, more accurately,
that remaining bugs in RCU's grace periods are elsewhere.
This commit eliminates this false positive by adding code to the end
of rcu_cpu_starting() that reports a quiescent state to RCU, which has
the side-effect of clearing that CPU's ->qsmask bit, preventing the
above scenario. This approach has the added benefit of more promptly
reporting quiescent states corresponding to offline CPUs. Nevertheless,
this commit does -not- remove the need for the force-quiescent-state
scans to check for offline CPUs, given that a CPU might remain offline
indefinitely. And without the checks in the force-quiescent-state scans,
the grace period would also persist indefinitely, which could result in
hangs or memory exhaustion.
Note well that the call to rcu_report_qs_rnp() reporting the quiescent
state must come -after- the setting of this CPU's bit in the leaf rcu_node
structure's ->qsmaskinitnext field. Otherwise, lockdep-RCU will complain
bitterly about quiescent states coming from an offline CPU.

Consider the following sequence of events in a PREEMPT=y kernel:
1. All CPUs corresponding to a given rcu_node structure go offline.
A new grace period starts just after the CPU-hotplug code path
does its synchronize_rcu() for the last CPU, so at least this

2. Before the grace period ends, a CPU comes back online, and not
just any CPU, but the one corresponding to a non-zero bit in

3. A task running on the newly onlined CPU is preempted while in

have had to have been preempted before migrating to this CPU, which
would mean that it would have instead queued itself on that other CPU's
rcu_node structure.
This commit eliminates this false positive by adding code to the end
of rcu_cleanup_dying_idle_cpu() that reports a quiescent state to RCU,
which has the side-effect of clearing that CPU's ->qsmask bit, preventing
the above scenario. This approach has the added benefit of more promptly
reporting quiescent states corresponding to offline CPUs.
Note well that the call to rcu_report_qs_rnp() reporting the quiescent
state must come -before- the clearing of this CPU's bit in the leaf
rcu_node structure's ->qsmaskinitnext field. Otherwise, lockdep-RCU
will complain bitterly about quiescent states coming from an offline CPU.

The rcu_lockdep_current_cpu_online() function currently checks only the
RCU-sched data structures to determine whether or not RCU believes that a
given CPU is offline. Unfortunately, there are multiple flavors of RCU,
which means that there is a short window of time during which the various
flavors disagree as to whether or not a given CPU is offline. This can
result in false-positive lockdep-RCU splats in which some other flavor
of RCU tries to do something based on its view that the CPU is online,
only to get hit with a lockdep-RCU splat because RCU-sched instead
believes that the CPU is offline.
This commit therefore changes rcu_lockdep_current_cpu_online() to scan
all RCU flavors and to consider a given CPU to be online if any of the
RCU flavors believe it to be online, thus preventing these false-positive
splats.

The force_qs_rnp() function checks for ->qsmask being all zero, that is,
all CPUs for the current rcu_node structure having already passed through
quiescent states. But with RCU-preempt, this is not sufficient to report
quiescent states further up the tree, so there are further checks that
can initiate RCU priority boosting and also for races with CPU-hotplug
operations. However, if neither of these further checks apply, the code
proceeds to carry out a useless scan of an all-zero ->qsmask.
This commit therefore adds code to release the current rcu_node
structure's lock and continue on to the next rcu_node structure, thereby
avoiding this useless scan.

Currently, rcu_init_new_rnp() walks up the rcu_node combining tree,
setting bits in the ->qsmaskinit fields on the way up. It walks up
unconditionally, regardless of the initial state of these bits. This is
OK because only the corresponding RCU grace-period kthread ever tests
or sets these bits during runtime. However, it is also pointless, and
it increases both memory and lock contention (albeit only slightly), so
this commit stops the walk as soon as an already-set bit is encountered.

Back in the old days, when grace-period initialization blocked CPU
hotplug, the ->qsmaskinit mask was indeed updated at the time that
a given CPU went offline. However, with the deferral of these updates
until the beginning of the next grace period in commit 0aa04b055e
("rcu: Process offlining and onlining only at grace-period start"),
it is instead ->qsmaskinitnext that gets updated at that time.
This commit therefore updates the obsolete comment. It also fixes
punctuation while on the topic of comments mentioning ->qsmaskinit.

Commit 0aa04b055e ("rcu: Process offlining and onlining only at
grace-period start") deferred handling of CPU-hotplug events until the
start of the next grace period, but consider the following sequence
of events:
1. A task is preempted within an RCU-preempt read-side critical
section.
2. The CPU that this task was running on goes offline, along with all
other CPUs sharing the corresponding leaf rcu_node structure.
3. The task resumes execution.
4. One of those CPUs comes back online before a new grace period starts.
In step 2, the code in the next rcu_gp_init() invocation will (correctly)
defer removing the leaf rcu_node structure from the upper-level bitmasks,
and will (correctly) set that structure's ->wait_blkd_tasks field. During
the ensuing interval, RCU will (correctly) track the tasks preempted on
that structure because they must block any subsequent grace period.
In step 3, the code in rcu_read_unlock_special() will (correctly) remove
the task from the leaf rcu_node structure. From this point forward, RCU
need not pay attention to this structure, at least not until one of the
corresponding CPUs comes back online.
In step 4, the code in the next rcu_gp_init() invocation will
(incorrectly) invoke rcu_init_new_rnp(). This is incorrect because
the corresponding rcu_cleanup_dead_rnp() was never invoked. This is
nevertheless harmless because the upper-level bits are still set.
So, no harm, no foul, right?
At least, all is well until a little further into rcu_gp_init()
invocation, which will notice that there are no longer any tasks blocked
on the leaf rcu_node structure, conclude that there is no longer anything
left over from step 2's offline operation, and will therefore invoke
rcu_cleanup_dead_rnp(). But this invocation of rcu_cleanup_dead_rnp()
is for the beginning of the earlier offline interval, and the previous
invocation of rcu_init_new_rnp() is for the end of that same interval.
That is right, they are invoked out of order.
That cannot be good, can it?
It turns out that this is not a (correctness!) problem because
rcu_cleanup_dead_rnp() checks to see if any of the corresponding CPUs
are online, and refuses to do anything if so. In other words, in the
case where rcu_init_new_rnp() and rcu_cleanup_dead_rnp() execute out of
order, they both have no effect.
But this is at best an accident waiting to happen.
This commit therefore adds logic to rcu_gp_init() so that
rcu_init_new_rnp() and rcu_cleanup_dead_rnp() are always invoked in
order, and so that neither are invoked at all in cases where RCU had to
pay attention to the leaf rcu_node structure during the entire time that
all corresponding CPUs were offline.
And, while in the area, this commit reduces confusion by using formal
parameters rather than local variables that just happen to have the same
value at that particular point in the code.

There's no need to keep checking the same starting node for whether a
grace period is in progress as we advance up the funnel lock loop. Its
sufficient if we just checked it in the start, and then subsequently
checked the internal nodes as we advanced up the combining tree. This
also makes sense because the grace-period updates propogate from the
root to the leaf, so there's a chance we may find a grace period has
started as we advance up, lets check for the same.

The rcu_data structure's ->gpwrap indicator is currently reset only
when the CPU in question detects a new grace period. This is in theory
sufficient because any CPU that has been out of action for long enough
that its ->gpwrap indicator is set is guaranteed to see both the end
of an old grace period and the start of a new one.
However, the current code leaves a short window during which the ->gpwrap
indicator has been reset but the corresponding ->gp_seq counter has not
yet been brought up to date. This is harmless because interrupts are
disabled, but it is likely to (at the very least) cause confusion.
This commit therefore moves the resetting of ->gpwrap to follow the

In the old days of ->gpnum and ->completed, the code requesting a new
grace period checked to see if that grace period had already started,
bailing early if so. The new-age ->gp_seq approach instead checks
whether the grace period has already finished. A compensating change
pushed the requested grace period down to the bottom of the tree, thus
reducing lock contention and even eliminating it in some cases. But why
not further reduce contention, especially on large systems, by doing both,
especially given that the cost of doing both is extremely small?
This commit therefore adds a new rcu_seq_started() function that checks
whether a specified grace period has already started. It then uses
this new function in place of rcu_seq_done() in the rcu_start_this_gp()

of the earlier open-coded comparisons of ->gpnum and ->completed.
The rcu_future_gp_cleanup() function replaces use of ->completed

comparison with rcu_seq_done().
The temporary warnings will be removed when the various ->gpnum and

The x86/mtrr code does horrific things because hardware. It uses
stop_machine_from_inactive_cpu(), which does a wakeup (of the stopper
thread on another CPU), which uses RCU, all before the CPU is onlined.
RCU complains about this, because wakeups use RCU and RCU does
(rightfully) not consider offline CPUs for grace-periods.
Fix this by initializing RCU way early in the MTRR case.

The rcu_start_this_gp() function had a simple form of funnel locking that
used only the leaves and root of the rcu_node tree, which is fine for
systems with only a few hundred CPUs, but sub-optimal for systems having
thousands of CPUs. This commit therefore adds full-tree funnel locking.
This variant of funnel locking is unusual in the following ways:
1. The leaf-level rcu_node structure's ->lock is held throughout.
Other funnel-locking implementations drop the leaf-level lock
before progressing to the next level of the tree.
2. Funnel locking can be started at the root, which is convenient
for code that already holds the root rcu_node structure's ->lock.
Other funnel-locking implementations start at the leaves.
3. If an rcu_node structure other than the initial one believes
that a grace period is in progress, it is not necessary to
go further up the tree. This is because grace-period cleanup
scans the full tree, so that marking the need for a subsequent
grace period anywhere in the tree suffices -- but only if
a grace period is currently in progress.
4. It is possible that the RCU grace-period kthread has not yet
started, and this case must be handled appropriately.
However, the general approach of using a tree to control lock contention
is still in place.

The __rcu_process_callbacks() function currently checks to see if
the current CPU needs a grace period and also if there is any other
reason to kick off a new grace period. This is one of the fail-safe
checks that has been rendered unnecessary by the changes that increase
the accuracy of rcu_gp_cleanup()'s estimate as to whether another grace
period is required. Because this particular fail-safe involved acquiring
the root rcu_node structure's ->lock, which has seen excessive contention
in real life, this fail-safe needs to go.
However, one check must remain, namely the check for newly arrived
RCU callbacks that have not yet been associated with a grace period.
One might hope that the checks in __note_gp_changes(), which is invoked
indirectly from rcu_check_quiescent_state(), would suffice, but this
function won't be invoked at all if RCU is idle. It is therefore necessary
to replace the fail-safe checks with a simpler check for newly arrived
callbacks during an RCU idle period, which is exactly what this commit
does. This change removes the final call to rcu_start_gp(), so this
function is removed as well.
Note that lockless use of cpu_needs_another_gp() is racy, but that
these races are harmless in this case. If RCU really is idle, the
values will not change, so the return value from cpu_needs_another_gp()
will be correct. If RCU is not idle, the resulting redundant call to
rcu_accelerate_cbs() will be harmless, and might even have the benefit
of reducing grace-period latency a bit.
This commit also moves interrupt disabling into the "if" statement to
improve real-time response a bit.

the elements of these arrays corresponding to the just-completed grace
period are zeroed at the end of that grace period. However, the
rcu_cbs_completed() function can return the current ->completed value
plus either one or two, so it is possible for the corresponding

instead leaves the grace-period-needed state where various fail-safes
can find it. This works fine, but results in higher contention on the

When rcu_cbs_completed() is invoked on a non-root rcu_node structure,
it unconditionally assumes that two grace periods must complete before
the callbacks at hand can be invoked. This is overly conservative because
if that non-root rcu_node structure believes that no grace period is in
progress, and if the corresponding rcu_state structure's ->gpnum field
has not yet been incremented, then these callbacks may safely be invoked
after only one grace period has completed.
This change is required to permit grace-period start requests to use
funnel locking, which is in turn permitted to reduce root rcu_node ->lock
contention, which has been observed by Nick Piggin. Furthermore, such
contention will likely be increased by the merging of RCU-bh, RCU-preempt,
and RCU-sched, so it makes sense to take steps to decrease it.

to cond_resched_rcu_qs(). However, the new-age cond_resched() does

in hangs when running the trace benchmarks.
A number of potential fixes were discussed on LKML

including making cond_resched() not be a no-op; making cond_resched()

the aforementioned commit (which works because cond_resched_rcu_qs()
does provide an RCU-tasks quiescent state; and adding a call to the

deemed unsatisfactory, either due to added cond_resched() overhead or
due to magic functions inviting cargo culting.
This commit renames cond_resched_rcu_qs() to cond_resched_tasks_rcu_qs(),

why and where it should be used, and then replaces the call to

to dynamically enable expediting, do it disables this aspect of testing,
which is a bit of an overreaction to the temporary boot-time expediting.
This commit therefore rechecks forced expediting throughout the test,
enabling dynamic expediting if normal grace periods are processed
normally at any point.

Currently the rcu_torture_fakewriter() function invokes cur_ops->sync()
and cur_ops->exp_sync() without first checking to see if they are in
fact non-NULL. This results in kernel NULL pointer dereferences when
testing RCU implementations that choose not to provide the full set of
primitives. Given that it is perfectly reasonable to have specialized
RCU implementations that provide only a subset of the RCU API, this is
a bug in rcutorture.
This commit therefore makes rcu_torture_fakewriter() check function
pointers before invoking them, thus allowing it to test subsetted
RCU implementations.

The code in srcu_gp_end() inserts a delay every 0x3ff grace periods in
order to prevent SRCU grace-period work from consuming an entire CPU
when there is a long sequence of expedited SRCU grace-period requests.
However, all of SRCU's grace-period work is carried out in workqueues,
which are in turn within kthreads, which are automatically throttled as
needed by the scheduler. In particular, if there is plenty of idle time,
there is no point in throttling.
This commit therefore removes the expedited SRCU grace-period throttling.

Currently, given a multi-level srcu_node tree, SRCU can scan the full
set of srcu_data structures at each level when cleaning up after a grace
period. This, though harmless otherwise, represents pointless overhead.

structures only when traversing the leaf srcu_node structures.

SRCU checks each srcu_data structure's grace-period number for counter
wrap four times per cycle by default. This frequency guarantees that
normal comparisons will detect potential wrap. However, the expedited
grace-period number is not checked. The consquences are not too horrible
(a failure to expedite a grace period when requested), but it would be
good to avoid such things. This commit therefore adds this check to
the expedited grace-period number.

This commit reworks the first loop in sync_rcu_exp_select_cpus()
to avoid doing unnecssary stores to other CPUs' rcu_data
structures. This speeds up that first loop by roughly a factor of
two on an old x86 system. In the case where the system is mostly
idle, this loop incurs a large fraction of the overhead of the
synchronize_rcu_expedited(). There is less benefit on busy systems
because the overhead of the smp_call_function_single() in the second
loop dominates in that case.
However, it is not unusual to do configuration chances involving
RCU grace periods (both expedited and normal) while the system is
mostly idle, so this optimization is worth doing.
While we are in the area, this commit also adds parentheses to arguments
used by the for_each_leaf_node_possible_cpu() macro.

The purpose of torture_runnable is to allow rcutorture and locktorture
to be started and stopped via sysfs when they are built into the kernel
(as in not compiled as loadable modules). However, the 0444 permissions
for both instances of torture_runnable prevent this use case from ever
being put into practice. Given that there have been no complaints
about this deficiency, it is reasonable to conclude that no one actually
makes use of this sysfs capability. The perf_runnable module parameter
for rcuperf is in the same situation.
This commit therefore removes both torture_runnable instances as well
as perf_runnable.

Currently have_rcu_nocb_mask is used to avoid double allocation of
rcu_nocb_mask during boot up. Due to different representation of
cpumask_var_t on different kernel config CPUMASK=y(or n) it was okay.
But now we have a helper cpumask_available(), which can be utilized
to check whether rcu_nocb_mask has been allocated or not without using
a variable.
Removing the variable also reduces vmlinux size.

RCU currently uses two different mechanisms for tracking irqs and NMIs.
This is unnecessary complexity: Given that NMIs can nest and given that
RCU's tracking handles such nesting, the NMI tracking mechanism can also
be used to track irqs. This commit therefore defines rcu_irq_enter()
in terms of rcu_nmi_enter() and rcu_irq_exit() in terms of rcu_nmi_exit().
Unfortunately, callers must still distinguish between the irq and NMI
functions because additional actions are taken when an irq interrupts
idle or nohz_full usermode execution, and these actions cannot always
be taken from NMI handlers.

Both extended-quiescent-state entry and exit first update the nesting
counter and then adjust the dyntick-idle state. This means that there

(2) Nesting indicates idle but dyntick idle does not, (3) Nesting indicates

- A new timer function which allows to conditionally (re)arm a timer
only when it's either not running or the new expiry time is sooner
than the armed expiry time. This allows to use a single timer for
multiple timeout requirements w/o caring about the first expiry
time at the call site.
- A new NMI safe accessor to clock real time for the printk timestamp
work. Can be used by tracing, perf as well if required.
- A large number of timer setup conversions from Kees which got
collected here because either maintainers requested so or they
simply got ignored. As Kees pointed out already there are a few
trivial merge conflicts and some redundant commits which was
unavoidable due to the size of this conversion effort.

- Provide a mechanism to treat RTC implementations depending on their
hardware properties, i.e. don't inflict the write at the 0.5
seconds boundary which originates from the PC CMOS RTC to all RTCs.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

Before we implement isolcpus under housekeeping, we need the isolation
features to be more finegrained. For example some people want NOHZ_FULL
without the full scheduler isolation, others want full scheduler
isolation without NOHZ_FULL.
So let's cut all these isolation features piecewise, at the risk of
overcutting it right now. We can still merge some flags later if they
always make sense together.

RCU priority boosting uses rt_mutex_init_proxy_locked() to initialize an
rt_mutex structure in locked state held by some other task. When that
other task releases it, lockdep complains (quite accurately, but a bit
uselessly) that the other task never acquired it. This complaint can
suppress other, more helpful, lockdep complaints, and in any case it is
a false positive.
This commit therefore switches from rt_mutex_unlock() to
rt_mutex_futex_unlock(), thereby avoiding the lockdep annotations.
Of course, if lockdep ever learns about rt_mutex_init_proxy_locked(),
addtional adjustments will be required.

When rcutorture sees the rcutorture.stall_cpu kernel boot parameter,
it loops with preemption disabled, which does in fact normally

This commit therefore adds an rcutorture.stall_cpu_irqsoff kernel

There is some confusion as to which of cond_resched() or
cond_resched_rcu_qs() should be added to long in-kernel loops.
This commit therefore eliminates the decision by adding RCU quiescent
states to cond_resched(). This commit also simplifies the code that
used to interact with cond_resched_rcu_qs(), and that now interacts with
cond_resched(), to reduce its overhead. This reduction is necessary to
allow the heavier-weight cond_resched_rcu_qs() mechanism to be invoked
everywhere that cond_resched() is invoked.
Part of that reduction in overhead converts the jiffies_till_sched_qs
kernel parameter to read-only at runtime, thus eliminating the need for
bounds checking.

[ paulmck: Keep PREEMPT=n cond_resched a no-op, per Peter Zijlstra. ]
Currently the call_rcu_tasks() kthread is created upon first
invocation of call_rcu_tasks(). This has the advantage of avoiding
creation if there are never any invocations of call_rcu_tasks() and of
synchronize_rcu_tasks(), but it requires an unreliable heuristic to
determine when it is safe to create the kthread. For example, it is
not safe to create the kthread when call_rcu_tasks() is invoked with
a spinlock held, but there is no good way to detect this in !PREEMPT
kernels.
This commit therefore creates this kthread unconditionally at
core_initcall() time. If you don't want this kthread created, then
build with CONFIG_TASKS_RCU=n.

ftrace: Fix kmemleak in unregister_ftrace_graph
The read of ->dynticks_nmi_nesting in rcu_irq_enter() and rcu_irq_exit()
is currently protected with READ_ONCE(). However, this protection is
unnecessary because (1) ->dynticks_nmi_nesting is updated only by the
current CPU, (2) Although NMI handlers can update this field, they reset
it back to its old value before return, and (3) Interrupts are disabled,
so nothing else can modify it. The value of ->dynticks_nmi_nesting is
thus effectively constant, and so no protection is required.
This commit therefore removes the READ_ONCE() protection from these
two accesses.

has been pointing out constant problems. The changes have been going into
the stack tracer, but it has been discovered that the problem isn't
with the stack tracer itself, but it is with calling save_stack_trace()
from within the internals of RCU. The stack tracer is the one that
can trigger the issue the easiest, but examining the problem further,
it could also happen from a WARN() in the wrong place, or even if
an NMI happened in this area and it did an rcu_read_lock().
The critical area is where RCU is not watching. Which can happen while
going to and from idle, or bringing up or taking down a CPU.
The final fix was to put the protection in kernel_text_address() as it
is the one that requires RCU to be watching while doing the stack trace.
To make this work properly, Paul had to allow rcu_irq_enter() happen after
rcu_nmi_enter(). This should have been done anyway, since an NMI can
page fault (reading vmalloc area), and a page fault triggers rcu_irq_enter().
One patch is just a consolidation of code so that the fix only needed
to be done in one location.

rcu: Allow for page faults in NMI handlers
A number of architecture invoke rcu_irq_enter() on exception entry in
order to allow RCU read-side critical sections in the exception handler
when the exception is from an idle or nohz_full CPU. This works, at
least unless the exception happens in an NMI handler. In that case,
rcu_nmi_enter() would already have exited the extended quiescent state,
which would mean that rcu_irq_enter() would (incorrectly) cause RCU
to think that it is again in an extended quiescent state. This will
in turn result in lockdep splats in response to later RCU read-side
critical sections.
This commit therefore causes rcu_irq_enter() and rcu_irq_exit() to
take no action if there is an rcu_nmi_enter() in effect, thus avoiding
the unscheduled return to RCU quiescent state. This in turn should
make the kernel safe for on-demand RCU voyeurism.

Second, different signnnedness leads to suboptimal code in the following
cases:
1)
kmalloc(nr_cpu_ids * sizeof(X));
"int" has to be sign extended to size_t.
2)
while (loff_t *pos < nr_cpu_ids)
MOVSXD is 1 byte longed than the same MOV.
Other cases exist as well. Basically compiler is told that nr_cpu_ids
