The current rcu_scale_writer() asynchronous grace-period testing uses a
per-CPU counter to track the number of outstanding callbacks. This is
subject to CPU-imbalance errors when tasks migrate from one CPU to another
between the time that the counter is incremented and the callback is
queued, and additionally in kernels configured such that callbacks can
be invoked on some CPU other than the one that queued it.
This commit therefore arranges for per-task callback counts, thus avoiding
any issues with migration of either tasks or callbacks.

The rcu_scale_writer() function needs only a fixed number of rcu_head

Under some conditions, kmalloc(GFP_KERNEL) allocations have been
observed to repeatedly fail. This situation has been observed to
cause one of the rcu_scale_writer() instances to loop indefinitely
retrying memory allocation for an asynchronous grace-period primitive.
The problem is that if memory is short, all the other instances will
allocate all available memory before the looping task is awakened from
its rcu_barrier*() call. This in turn results in hangs, so that rcuscale
fails to complete.
This commit therefore removes the tight retry loop, so that when this
condition occurs, the affected task is still passing through the full
loop with its full set of termination checks. This spreads the risk
of indefinite memory-allocation retry failures across all instances of
rcu_scale_writer() tasks, which in turn prevents the hangs.

The commit 2d7f00b2f0 ("rcu: Suppress smp_processor_id() complaint
in synchronize_rcu_expedited_wait()") disabled preemption around
dump_cpu_task() to suppress warning on its usage within preemtible context.
Calling dump_cpu_task() doesn't required to be in non-preemptible context
except for suppressing the smp_processor_id() warning.
As the smp_processor_id() is evaluated along with in_hardirq()
to check if it's in interrupt context, this patch removes the need
for its preemtion disablement by reordering the condition so that
smp_processor_id() only gets evaluated when it's in interrupt context.

It was discovered that isolated CPUs could sometimes be disturbed by
kworkers processing kfree_rcu() works causing higher than expected
latency. It is because the RCU core uses "system_wq" which doesn't have
the WQ_UNBOUND flag to handle all its work items. Fix this violation of
latency limits by using "system_unbound_wq" in the RCU core instead.
This will ensure that those work items will not be run on CPUs marked
as isolated.
Beside the WQ_UNBOUND flag, the other major difference between system_wq
and system_unbound_wq is their max_active count. The system_unbound_wq
has a max_active of WQ_MAX_ACTIVE (512) while system_wq's max_active
is WQ_DFL_ACTIVE (256) which is half of WQ_MAX_ACTIVE.

Currently callbacks can be (de-)offloaded only on online CPUs. This
involves an overly elaborated state machine in order to make sure that
callbacks are always handled during the process while ensuring
synchronization between rcu_core and NOCB kthreads.
The only potential user of NOCB (de-)offloading appears to be a
nohz_full toggling interface through cpusets. And the general agreement
is now to work toward toggling the nohz_full state on offline CPUs to
simplify the whole picture.
Therefore, convert the (de-)offloading to only support offline CPUs.
This involves the following changes:

still carry callbacks in its queue ignored by
rcutree_migrate_callbacks(). Those callbacks must all be flushed
before switching to a regular queue because no more kthreads will
handle those before the CPU ever gets re-onlined.
This means that further calls to rcu_barrier() will find an empty
queue until the CPU goes through rcutree_report_cpu_starting(). As a

the nocb_lock for that target and thus won't risk an imbalance.

The barrier_mutex is used currently to protect (de-)offloading
operations and prevent from nocb_lock locking imbalance in rcu_barrier()
and shrinker, and also from misordered RCU barrier invocation.
Now since RCU (de-)offloading is going to happen on offline CPUs, an RCU
barrier will have to be executed while transitionning from offloaded to
de-offloaded state. And this can't happen while holding the
barrier_mutex.
Introduce a NOCB mutex to protect (de-)offloading transitions. The
barrier_mutex is still held for now when necessary to avoid barrier
callbacks reordering and nocb_lock imbalance.

When a NOCB CPU fails to create a nocb kthread on bringup, the CPU is
then deoffloaded. The barrier mutex is locked at this stage. It is
typically used to protect against concurrent (de-)offloading and/or
concurrent rcu_barrier() that would otherwise risk a nocb locking
imbalance. However:
* rcu_barrier() can't run concurrently if it's the boot CPU on early
boot-up.
* rcu_barrier() can run concurrently if it's a secondary CPU but it is
expected to see 0 callbacks on this target because it's the first
time it boots.
* (de-)offloading can't happen concurrently with smp_init(), as
rcutorture is initialized later, at least not before device_initcall(),
and userspace isn't available yet.
* (de-)offloading can't happen concurrently with cpu_up(), courtesy of
cpu_hotplug_lock.
But:
* The lazy shrinker might run concurrently with cpu_up(). It shouldn't
try to grab the nocb_lock and risk an imbalance due to lazy_len
supposed to be 0 but be extra cautious.
* Also be cautious against resume from hibernation potential subtleties.
So keep the locking and add some assertions and comments.

When rcu_barrier() calls rcu_rdp_cpu_online() and observes a CPU off
rnp->qsmaskinitnext, it means that all accesses from the offline CPU
preceding the CPUHP_TEARDOWN_CPU are visible to RCU barrier, including
callbacks expiration and counter updates.
However interrupts can still fire after stop_machine() re-enables
interrupts and before rcutree_report_cpu_dead(). The related accesses
happening between CPUHP_TEARDOWN_CPU and rnp->qsmaskinitnext clearing
are _NOT_ guaranteed to be seen by rcu_barrier() without proper
ordering, especially when callbacks are invoked there to the end, making
rcutree_migrate_callback() bypass barrier_lock.
The following theoretical race example can make rcu_barrier() hang:
CPU 0 CPU 1
----- -----
//cpu_down()
smpboot_park_threads()
//ksoftirqd is parked now
<IRQ>
rcu_sched_clock_irq()
invoke_rcu_core()
do_softirq()
rcu_core()
rcu_do_batch()
// callback storm
// rcu_do_batch() returns
// before completing all
// of them
// do_softirq also returns early because of
// timeout. It defers to ksoftirqd but
// it's parked
</IRQ>
stop_machine()
take_cpu_down()
rcu_barrier()
spin_lock(barrier_lock)
// observes rcu_segcblist_n_cbs(&rdp->cblist) != 0
<IRQ>
do_softirq()
rcu_core()
rcu_do_batch()
//completes all pending callbacks
//smp_mb() implied _after_ callback number dec
</IRQ>
rcutree_report_cpu_dead()
rnp->qsmaskinitnext &= ~rdp->grpmask;
rcutree_migrate_callback()
// no callback, early return without locking
// barrier_lock
//observes !rcu_rdp_cpu_online(rdp)
rcu_barrier_entrain()
rcu_segcblist_entrain()
// Observe rcu_segcblist_n_cbs(rsclp) == 0
// because no barrier between reading
// rnp->qsmaskinitnext and rsclp->len
rcu_segcblist_add_len()
smp_mb__before_atomic()
// will now observe the 0 count and empty
// list, but too late, we enqueue regardless
WRITE_ONCE(rsclp->len, rsclp->len + v);
// ignored barrier callback
// rcu barrier stall...
This could be solved with a read memory barrier, enforcing the message
passing between rnp->qsmaskinitnext and rsclp->len, matching the full
memory barrier after rsclp->len addition in rcu_segcblist_add_len()
performed at the end of rcu_do_batch().
However the rcu_barrier() is complicated enough and probably doesn't
need too many more subtleties. CPU down is a slowpath and the
barrier_lock seldom contended. Solve the issue with unconditionally
locking the barrier_lock on rcutree_migrate_callbacks(). This makes sure
that either rcu_barrier() sees the empty queue or its entrained
callback will be migrated.

If a CPU is running either a userspace application or a guest OS in
nohz_full mode, it is possible for a system call to occur just as an
RCU grace period is starting. If that CPU also has the scheduling-clock
tick enabled for any reason (such as a second runnable task), and if the
system was booted with rcutree.use_softirq=0, then RCU can add insult to
injury by awakening that CPU's rcuc kthread, resulting in yet another
task and yet more OS jitter due to switching to that task, running it,
and switching back.
In addition, in the common case where that system call is not of
excessively long duration, awakening the rcuc task is pointless.
This pointlessness is due to the fact that the CPU will enter an extended
quiescent state upon returning to the userspace application or guest OS.
In this case, the rcuc kthread cannot do anything that the main RCU
grace-period kthread cannot do on its behalf, at least if it is given
a few additional milliseconds (for example, given the time duration
specified by rcutree.jiffies_till_first_fqs, give or take scheduling
delays).
This commit therefore adds a rcutree.nohz_full_patience_delay kernel
boot parameter that specifies the grace period age (in milliseconds,
rounded to jiffies) before which RCU will refrain from awakening the
rcuc kthread. Preliminary experimentation suggests a value of 1000,
that is, one second. Increasing rcutree.nohz_full_patience_delay will
increase grace-period latency and in turn increase memory footprint,
so systems with constrained memory might choose a smaller value.
Systems with less-aggressive OS-jitter requirements might choose the
default value of zero, which keeps the traditional immediate-wakeup
behavior, thus avoiding increases in grace-period latency.

This ordering is explicitly performed both on the first EQS snapshot

GP kthread Remote target

smp_mb()
x = smp_load_acquire(EQS)

READ_ONCE(A)

y = smp_load_acquire(EQS)
z = READ_ONCE(B)
If the GP kthread above fails to observe the remote target in EQS
(x not in EQS), the remote target will observe A == 1 after further
entering in EQS. Then the second snapshot taken by the GP kthread only
need to be an acquire read in order to observe z == 1.

When RCU-TASKS-TRACE pre-gp takes a snapshot of the current task running
on all online CPUs, no explicit ordering synchronizes properly with a
context switch. This lack of ordering can permit the new task to miss
pre-grace-period update-side accesses. The following diagram, courtesy
of Paul, shows the possible bad scenario:
CPU 0 CPU 1
----- -----
// Pre-GP update side access
WRITE_ONCE(*X, 1);
smp_mb();
r0 = rq->curr;
RCU_INIT_POINTER(rq->curr, TASK_B)
spin_unlock(rq)
rcu_read_lock_trace()
r1 = X;
/* ignore TASK_B */
Either r0==TASK_B or r1==1 is needed but neither is guaranteed.
One possible solution to solve this is to wait for an RCU grace period
at the beginning of the RCU-tasks-trace grace period before taking the
current tasks snaphot. However this would introduce large additional
latencies to RCU-tasks-trace grace periods.
Another solution is to lock the target runqueue while taking the current
task snapshot. This ensures that the update side sees the latest context
switch and subsequent context switches will see the pre-grace-period
update side accesses.
This commit therefore adds runqueue locking to cpu_curr_snapshot().

The bypass lock contention mitigation assumes there can be at most
2 contenders on the bypass lock, following this scheme:
1) One kthread takes the bypass lock
2) Another one spins on it and increment the contended counter
3) A third one (a bypass enqueuer) sees the contended counter on and
busy loops waiting on it to decrement.
However this assumption is wrong. There can be only one CPU to find the
lock contended because call_rcu() (the bypass enqueuer) is the only
bypass lock acquire site that may not already hold the NOCB lock
beforehand, all the other sites must first contend on the NOCB lock.
Therefore step 2) is impossible.
The other problem is that the mitigation assumes that contenders all
belong to the same rdp CPU, which is also impossible for a raw spinlock.
In theory the warning could trigger if the enqueuer holds the bypass
lock and another CPU flushes the bypass queue concurrently but this is
prevented from all flush users:
1) NOCB kthreads only flush if they successfully _tried_ to lock the
bypass lock. So no contention management here.
2) Flush on callbacks migration happen remotely when the CPU is offline.
No concurrency against bypass enqueue.
3) Flush on deoffloading happen either locally with IRQs disabled or
remotely when the CPU is not yet online. No concurrency against
bypass enqueue.
4) Flush on barrier entrain happen either locally with IRQs disabled or
remotely when the CPU is offline. No concurrency against
bypass enqueue.
For those reasons, the bypass lock contention mitigation isn't needed
and is even wrong. Remove it but keep the warning reporting a contended
bypass lock on a remote CPU, to keep unexpected contention awareness.

Upon NOCB deoffloading, the rcuo kthread must be forced to sleep

clears the SEGCBLIST_OFFLOADED flag, wakes up the rcuo kthread which
then notices that change and clears in turn its SEGCBLIST_KTHREAD_CB
flag before going to sleep, until it ever sees the SEGCBLIST_OFFLOADED
flag again, should a re-offloading happen.
Upon NOCB offloading, the rcuo kthread must be forced to wake up and

Currently, the rcu_torture_pipe_update_one() writes the value (i + 1)
to rp->rtort_pipe_count, then immediately re-reads it in order to compare
it to RCU_TORTURE_PIPE_LEN. This re-read is pointless because no other
update to rp->rtort_pipe_count can occur at this point. This commit
therefore instead re-uses the (i + 1) value stored in the comparison
instead of re-reading rp->rtort_pipe_count.

A call to a synchronize_rcu() can be optimized from a latency
point of view. Workloads which depend on this can benefit of it.
The delay of wakeme_after_rcu() callback, which unblocks a waiter,
depends on several factors:
- how fast a process of offloading is started. Combination of:
- !CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU/CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU;
- !CONFIG_RCU_LAZY/CONFIG_RCU_LAZY;
- other.
- when started, invoking path is interrupted due to:
- time limit;
- need_resched();
- if limit is reached.
- where in a nocb list it is located;
- how fast previous callbacks completed;
Example:
1. On our embedded devices i can easily trigger the scenario when
it is a last in the list out of ~3600 callbacks:
<snip>
<...>-29 [001] d..1. 21950.145313: rcu_batch_start: rcu_preempt CBs=3613 bl=28

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

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

buffer overflow.
Also, the unsigned jiffies difference is printed using %ld, which is

but it is not obvious from the code.
This commit therefore changes sprintf() to snprintf() and adds a

Tasks Trace RCU needs a single-byte cmpxchg(), but no such thing exists.
Therefore, rcu_trc_cmpxchg_need_qs() emulates one using field substitution

appears. These softlockup splats unnecessarily consume console bandwidth

The current code will scan the entirety of each per-CPU list of exiting
tasks in ->rtp_exit_list with interrupts disabled. This is normally just
fine, because each CPU typically won't have very many tasks in this state.
However, if a large number of tasks block late in do_exit(), these lists
could be arbitrarily long. Low probability, perhaps, but it really
could happen.
This commit therefore occasionally re-enables interrupts while traversing
these lists, inserting a dummy element to hold the current place in the
list. In kernels built with CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT=y, this re-enabling happens
after each list element is processed, otherwise every one-to-two jiffies.

Holding a mutex across synchronize_rcu_tasks() and acquiring
that same mutex in code called from do_exit() after its call to
exit_tasks_rcu_start() but before its call to exit_tasks_rcu_stop()
results in deadlock. This is by design, because tasks that are far
enough into do_exit() are no longer present on the tasks list, making
it a bit difficult for RCU Tasks to find them, let alone wait on them
to do a voluntary context switch. However, such deadlocks are becoming
more frequent. In addition, lockdep currently does not detect such
deadlocks and they can be difficult to reproduce.
In addition, if a task voluntarily context switches during that time
(for example, if it blocks acquiring a mutex), then this task is in an
RCU Tasks quiescent state. And with some adjustments, RCU Tasks could
just as well take advantage of that fact.
This commit therefore eliminates these deadlock by replacing the
SRCU-based wait for do_exit() completion with per-CPU lists of tasks
currently exiting. A given task will be on one of these per-CPU lists for
the same period of time that this task would previously have been in the
previous SRCU read-side critical section. These lists enable RCU Tasks
to find the tasks that have already been removed from the tasks list,
but that must nevertheless be waited upon.
The RCU Tasks grace period gathers any of these do_exit() tasks that it
must wait on, and adds them to the list of holdouts. Per-CPU locking
and get_task_struct() are used to synchronize addition to and removal
from these lists.

exit_tasks_rcu_start() but before its call to exit_tasks_rcu_stop()
results in deadlock. This is by design, because tasks that are far
enough into do_exit() are no longer present on the tasks list, making
it a bit difficult for RCU Tasks to find them, let alone wait on them
to do a voluntary context switch. However, such deadlocks are becoming
more frequent. In addition, lockdep currently does not detect such
deadlocks and they can be difficult to reproduce.
In addition, if a task voluntarily context switches during that time
(for example, if it blocks acquiring a mutex), then this task is in an
RCU Tasks quiescent state. And with some adjustments, RCU Tasks could
just as well take advantage of that fact.
This commit therefore initializes the data structures that will be needed
to rely on these quiescent states and to eliminate these deadlocks.

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

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

initialization is performed in parallel via workqueues (one work per

However in CONFIG_RCU_EXP_KTHREAD=y, this per node initialization is
performed by a single kworker serializing each node initialization (one
work for all nodes).
The second part is certainly less scalable and efficient beyond a single

A full barrier is issued from nocb_gp_wait() upon callbacks advancing
to order grace period completion with callbacks execution.
However these two events are already ordered by the
smp_mb__after_unlock_lock() barrier within the call to
raw_spin_lock_rcu_node() that is necessary for callbacks advancing to
happen.
The following litmus test shows the kind of guarantee that this barrier
provides:
C smp_mb__after_unlock_lock
{}
// rcu_gp_cleanup()
P0(spinlock_t *rnp_lock, int *gpnum)
{
// Grace period cleanup increase gp sequence number
spin_lock(rnp_lock);
WRITE_ONCE(*gpnum, 1);
spin_unlock(rnp_lock);
}
// nocb_gp_wait()
P1(spinlock_t *rnp_lock, spinlock_t *nocb_lock, int *gpnum, int *cb_ready)
{
int r1;
// Call rcu_advance_cbs() from nocb_gp_wait()
spin_lock(nocb_lock);
spin_lock(rnp_lock);
smp_mb__after_unlock_lock();
r1 = READ_ONCE(*gpnum);
WRITE_ONCE(*cb_ready, 1);
spin_unlock(rnp_lock);
spin_unlock(nocb_lock);

// rcu_do_batch() -> rcu_segcblist_extract_done_cbs()
spin_lock(nocb_lock);
r2 = READ_ONCE(*cb_ready);
spin_unlock(nocb_lock);
// Actual callback execution
WRITE_ONCE(*cb_executed, 1);
}
P3(int *cb_executed, int *gpnum)
{
int r3;
WRITE_ONCE(*cb_executed, 2);
smp_mb();
r3 = READ_ONCE(*gpnum);
}
exists (1:r1=1 /\ 2:r2=1 /\ cb_executed=2 /\ 3:r3=0) (* Bad outcome. *)
Here the bad outcome only occurs if the smp_mb__after_unlock_lock() is
removed. This barrier orders the grace period completion against
callbacks advancing and even later callbacks invocation, thanks to the
opportunistic propagation via the ->nocb_lock to nocb_cb_wait().
Therefore the smp_mb() placed after callbacks advancing can be safely

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

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

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

Spare these needless operations in this case.

Callbacks advancing on SRCU must be performed on two specific places:
1) On enqueue time in order to make room for the acceleration of the
new callback.
2) On invocation time in order to move the callbacks ready to invoke.
Any other callback advancing callsite is needless. Remove the remaining
one in srcu_gp_start().

Although the RCU CPU stall notifiers can be useful for dumping state when
tracking down delicate forward-progress bugs where NUMA effects cause
cache lines to be delivered to a given CPU regularly, but always in a
state that prevents that CPU from making forward progress. These bugs can
be detected by the RCU CPU stall-warning mechanism, but in some cases,
the stall-warnings printk()s disrupt the forward-progress bug before
any useful state can be obtained.
Unfortunately, the notifier mechanism added by commit 5b404fdaba ("rcu:
Add RCU CPU stall notifier") can make matters worse if used at all
carelessly. For example, if the stall warning was caused by a lock not
being released, then any attempt to acquire that lock in the notifier
will hang. This will prevent not only the notifier from producing any
useful output, but it will also prevent the stall-warning message from
ever appearing.
This commit therefore hides this new RCU CPU stall notifier
mechanism under a new RCU_CPU_STALL_NOTIFIER Kconfig option that
depends on both DEBUG_KERNEL and RCU_EXPERT. In addition, the
rcupdate.rcu_cpu_stall_notifiers=1 kernel boot parameter must also
be specified. The RCU_CPU_STALL_NOTIFIER Kconfig option's help text
contains a warning and explains the dangers of careless use, recommending
lockless notifier code. In addition, a WARN() is triggered each time
that an attempt is made to register a stall-warning notifier in kernels
built with CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_NOTIFIER=y.
This combination of measures will keep use of this mechanism confined to
debug kernels and away from routine deployments.

For rcutorture tests on RCU implementations that support
force-quiescent-state operations and that set the fqs_duration module
parameter greater than zero, the fqs_task kthread will be created.
However, if the fqs_holdoff module parameter is not set, then its default
value of zero will cause fqs_task enter a long-term busy loop until
stopped by kthread_stop(). This commit therefore adds a fqs_holdoff
check before the fqs_task is created, making sure that whenever the
fqs_task is created, the fqs_holdoff will be greater than zero.

cff9b2332a ("kernel/sched: Modify initial boot task idle setup")
has changed the semantics of what is to be considered an idle task in
such a way that the idle task of an offline CPU may not carry the
PF_IDLE flag anymore.
However RCU-tasks-trace tests the opposite assertion, still assuming
that idle tasks carry the PF_IDLE flag during their whole lifecycle.
Remove this assumption to avoid spurious warnings but keep the initial
test verifying that the idle task is the current task on any offline
CPU.

The commit:
cff9b2332a ("kernel/sched: Modify initial boot task idle setup")
has changed the semantics of what is to be considered an idle task in
such a way that CPU boot code preceding the actual idle loop is excluded
from it.
This has however introduced new potential RCU-tasks stalls when either:
1) Grace period is started before init/0 had a chance to set PF_IDLE,
keeping it stuck in the holdout list until idle ever schedules.
2) Grace period is started when some possible CPUs have never been
online, keeping their idle tasks stuck in the holdout list until the
CPU ever boots up.
3) Similar to 1) but with secondary CPUs: Grace period is started
concurrently with secondary CPU booting, putting its idle task in
the holdout list because PF_IDLE isn't yet observed on it. It stays
then stuck in the holdout list until that CPU ever schedules. The
effect is mitigated here by the hotplug AP thread that must run to
bring the CPU up.
Fix this with handling the new semantics of PF_IDLE, keeping in mind
that it may or may not be set on an idle task. Take advantage of that to
strengthen the coverage of an RCU-tasks quiescent state within an idle
task, excluding the CPU boot code from it. Only the code running within
the idle loop is now a quiescent state, along with offline CPUs.

Export the RCU point of view as to when a CPU is considered offline
(ie: when does RCU consider that a CPU is sufficiently down in the
hotplug process to not feature any possible read side).
This will be used by RCU-tasks whose vision of an offline CPU should
reasonably match the one of RCU core.

Commit 851a723e45 ("sched: Always clear user_cpus_ptr in
do_set_cpus_allowed()") added a kfree() call to free any user
provided affinity mask, if present. It was changed later to use
kfree_rcu() in commit 9a5418bc48 ("sched/core: Use kfree_rcu()
in do_set_cpus_allowed()") to avoid a circular locking dependency
problem.
It turns out that even kfree_rcu() isn't safe for avoiding
circular locking problem. As reported by kernel test robot,
the following circular locking dependency now exists:
&rdp->nocb_lock --> rcu_node_0 --> &rq->__lock
Solve this by breaking the rcu_node_0 --> &rq->__lock chain by moving
the resched_cpu() out from under rcu_node lock.

Acceleration in SRCU happens on enqueue time for each new callback. This
operation is expected not to fail and therefore any similar attempt
from other places shouldn't find any remaining callbacks to accelerate.
Moreover accelerations performed beyond enqueue time are error prone
because rcu_seq_snap() then may return the snapshot for a new grace
period that is not going to be started.
Remove these dangerous and needless accelerations and introduce instead
assertions reporting leaking unaccelerated callbacks beyond enqueue
time.

SRCU callbacks acceleration might fail if the preceding callbacks
advance also fails. This can happen when the following steps are met:
1) The RCU_WAIT_TAIL segment has callbacks (say for gp_num 8) and the
RCU_NEXT_READY_TAIL also has callbacks (say for gp_num 12).
2) The grace period for RCU_WAIT_TAIL is observed as started but not yet
completed so rcu_seq_current() returns 4 + SRCU_STATE_SCAN1 = 5.
3) This value is passed to rcu_segcblist_advance() which can't move
any segment forward and fails.
4) srcu_gp_start_if_needed() still proceeds with callback acceleration.
But then the call to rcu_seq_snap() observes the grace period for the
RCU_WAIT_TAIL segment (gp_num 8) as completed and the subsequent one
for the RCU_NEXT_READY_TAIL segment as started
(ie: 8 + SRCU_STATE_SCAN1 = 9) so it returns a snapshot of the
next grace period, which is 16.
5) The value of 16 is passed to rcu_segcblist_accelerate() but the
freshly enqueued callback in RCU_NEXT_TAIL can't move to
RCU_NEXT_READY_TAIL which already has callbacks for a previous grace
period (gp_num = 12). So acceleration fails.
6) Note in all these steps, srcu_invoke_callbacks() hadn't had a chance
to run srcu_invoke_callbacks().
Then some very bad outcome may happen if the following happens:
7) Some other CPU races and starts the grace period number 16 before the
CPU handling previous steps had a chance. Therefore srcu_gp_start()
isn't called on the latter sdp to fix the acceleration leak from
previous steps with a new pair of call to advance/accelerate.
8) The grace period 16 completes and srcu_invoke_callbacks() is finally
called. All the callbacks from previous grace periods (8 and 12) are
correctly advanced and executed but callbacks in RCU_NEXT_READY_TAIL
still remain. Then rcu_segcblist_accelerate() is called with a
snaphot of 20.
9) Since nothing started the grace period number 20, callbacks stay
unhandled.

Fix this with taking the snapshot for acceleration _before_ the read
of the current grace period number.
The only side effect of this solution is that callbacks advancing happen
then _after_ the full barrier in rcu_seq_snap(). This is not a problem
because that barrier only cares about:
1) Ordering accesses of the update side before call_srcu() so they don't
bleed.
2) See all the accesses prior to the grace period of the current gp_num
The only things callbacks advancing need to be ordered against are
carried by snp locking.

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

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

The value of a bitwise expression 1 << (cpu - sdp->mynode->grplo)
is subject to overflow due to a failure to cast operands to a larger
data type before performing the bitwise operation.
The maximum result of this subtraction is defined by the RCU_FANOUT_LEAF
Kconfig option, which on 64-bit systems defaults to 16 (resulting in a
maximum shift of 15), but which can be set up as high as 64 (resulting
in a maximum shift of 63). A value of 31 can result in sign extension,
resulting in 0xffffffff80000000 instead of the desired 0x80000000.
A value of 32 or greater triggers undefined behavior per the C standard.
This bug has not been known to cause issues because almost all kernels
take the default CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_LEAF=16. Furthermore, as long as a
given compiler gives a deterministic non-zero result for 1<<N for N>=32,
the code correctly invokes all SRCU callbacks, albeit wasting CPU time
along the way.
This commit therefore substitutes the correct 1UL for the buggy 1.

When using rcutorture as a module, there are a number of conditions that
can abort the modprobe operation, for example, when attempting to run
both RCU CPU stall warning tests and forward-progress tests. This can
cause rcu_torture_cleanup() to be invoked on the unwind path out of
rcu_rcu_torture_init(), which will mean that rcu_gp_slow_unregister()

When a structure containing an RCU callback rhp is (incorrectly) freed
and reallocated after rhp is passed to call_rcu(), it is not unusual for
rhp->func to be set to NULL. This defeats the debugging prints used by
__call_rcu_common() in kernels built with CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_RCU_HEAD=y,
which expect to identify the offending code using the identity of this
function.
And in kernels build without CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_RCU_HEAD=y, things
are even worse, as can be seen from this splat:

rcu_head structure, which as least provides at least a few clues to help
locate the problem. If the problem is reproducible, additional slab

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

The current error handling in init_srcu_struct_fields() is a bit
inconsistent. If init_srcu_struct_nodes() fails, the function either
returns -ENOMEM or 0 depending on whether ssp->sda_is_static is true or
false. This can make init_srcu_struct_fields() return 0 even if memory
allocation failed!
Simplify the error handling by always returning -ENOMEM if either
init_srcu_struct_nodes() or the per-CPU allocation fails. This makes the
control flow easier to follow and avoids the inconsistent return values.
Add goto labels to avoid duplicating the error cleanup code.

The rcu_tasks_need_gpcb() samples ->percpu_dequeue_lim as part of the
condition clause of a "for" loop, which is a bit confusing. This commit
therefore hoists this sampling out of the loop, using the result loaded
in the condition clause.
So why does this work in the face of a concurrent switch from single-CPU
queueing to per-CPU queueing?
o The call_rcu_tasks_generic() that makes the change has already
enqueued its callback, which means that all of the other CPU's
callback queues are empty.
o For the call_rcu_tasks_generic() that first notices
the switch to per-CPU queues, the smp_store_release()
used to update ->percpu_enqueue_lim pairs with the
raw_spin_trylock_rcu_node()'s full barrier that is
between the READ_ONCE(rtp->percpu_enqueue_shift) and the
rcu_segcblist_enqueue() that enqueues the callback.
o Because this CPU's queue is empty (unless it happens to
be the original single queue, in which case there is no
need for synchronization), this call_rcu_tasks_generic()
will do an irq_work_queue() to schedule a handler for the
needed rcuwait_wake_up() call. This call will be ordered
after the first call_rcu_tasks_generic() function's change to
->percpu_dequeue_lim.
o This rcuwait_wake_up() will either happen before or after the
set_current_state() in rcuwait_wait_event(). If it happens
before, the "condition" argument's call to rcu_tasks_need_gpcb()
will be ordered after the original change, and all callbacks on
all CPUs will be visible. Otherwise, if it happens after, then
the grace-period kthread's state will be set back to running,
which will result in a later call to rcuwait_wait_event() and
thus to rcu_tasks_need_gpcb(), which will again see the change.
So it all works out.

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

the past, thus never a negative number. This invariant is checked by
a WARN_ON_ONCE() in set_task_cpu().
This means that if the grace-period kthread exists, that is, if the "gpk"
local variable is non-NULL, the "cpu" local variable will be non-negative.
This in turn means that the existing check for non-negative "cpu" is
redundant with the enclosing check for non-NULL "gpk".
This commit threefore removes the redundant check of "cpu".

Here is the big set of tty and serial driver changes for 6.6-rc1.
Lots of cleanups in here this cycle, and some driver updates. Short
summary is:
- Jiri's continued work to make the tty code and apis be a bit more
sane with regards to modern kernel coding style and types
- cpm_uart driver updates
- n_gsm updates and fixes
- meson driver updates
- sc16is7xx driver updates
- 8250 driver updates for different hardware types
- qcom-geni driver fixes
- tegra serial driver change
- stm32 driver updates
- synclink_gt driver cleanups
- tty structure size reduction
All of these have been in linux-next this week with no reported issues.
The last bit of cleanups from Jiri and the tty structure size reduction
came in last week, a bit late but as they were just style changes and
size reductions, I figured they should get into this merge cycle so that
others can work on top of them with no merge conflicts.

The rcu_nocb_poll kernel boot parameter is defined via early_param(),
whose parsing functions are invoked from parse_early_param() which
is in turn invoked by setup_arch(), which is very early indeed. It
is invoked so early that the console output timestamps read 0.000000,
in other words, before time begins.
This use of early_param() means that the rcu_nocb_poll kernel boot
parameter cannot usefully be embedded into the kernel image. Yes, you
can embed it, but setup_boot_config() is invoked from start_kernel()
too late for it to be parsed.
But it makes no sense to parse this parameter so early. After all,
it cannot do anything until the rcuog kthreads are created, which is
long after rcu_init() time, let alone setup_boot_config() time.
This commit therefore switches the rcu_nocb_poll kernel boot parameter
from early_param() to __setup(), which allows boot-config parsing of
this parameter, in turn allowing it to be embedded into the kernel image.

In kernels built with CONFIG_PROVE_RCU=y (for example, lockdep kernels),
the following sequence of events can occur:
o rcu_init_tasks_generic() is invoked just before init is spawned.
It invokes rcu_spawn_tasks_kthread() and friends.
o rcu_spawn_tasks_kthread() invokes rcu_spawn_tasks_kthread_generic(),
which uses kthread_run() to create the needed kthread.
o Control returns to rcu_init_tasks_generic(), which, because this
is a CONFIG_PROVE_RCU=y kernel, invokes the version of the
rcu_tasks_initiate_self_tests() function that actually does
something, including invoking synchronize_rcu_tasks(), which
in turn invokes synchronize_rcu_tasks_generic().
o synchronize_rcu_tasks_generic() sees that the ->kthread_ptr is
still NULL, because the newly spawned kthread has not yet
started.
o The new kthread starts, preempting synchronize_rcu_tasks_generic()
just after its check. This kthread invokes rcu_tasks_one_gp(),
which acquires ->tasks_gp_mutex, and, seeing no work, blocks
in rcuwait_wait_event(). Note that this step requires either
a preemptible kernel or a fault-injection-style sleep at the
beginning of mutex_lock().
o synchronize_rcu_tasks_generic() resumes and invokes rcu_tasks_one_gp().
o rcu_tasks_one_gp() attempts to acquire ->tasks_gp_mutex, which
is still held by the newly spawned kthread's rcu_tasks_one_gp()
function. Deadlock.
Because the only reason for ->tasks_gp_mutex is to handle pre-kthread
synchronous grace periods, this commit avoids this deadlock by having
rcu_tasks_one_gp() momentarily release ->tasks_gp_mutex while invoking
rcuwait_wait_event(). This allows the call to rcu_tasks_one_gp() from
synchronize_rcu_tasks_generic() proceed.
Note that it is not necessary to release the mutex anywhere else in
rcu_tasks_one_gp() because rcuwait_wait_event() is the only function
that can block indefinitely.

Currently, cblist_init_generic() holds a raw spinlock when invoking
INIT_WORK(). This fails in kernels built with CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS=y
due to memory allocation being forbidden while holding a raw spinlock.
But the only reason for holding the raw spinlock is to synchronize
with early boot calls to call_rcu_tasks(), call_rcu_tasks_rude, and,
last but not least, call_rcu_tasks_trace(). These calls also invoke
cblist_init_generic() in order to support early boot queueing of
callbacks.
Except that there are no early boot calls to either of these three
functions, and the BPF guys confirm that they have no plans to add any
such calls.
This commit therefore removes the synchronization and adds a
WARN_ON_ONCE() to catch the case of now-prohibited early boot RCU Tasks
callback queueing.
If early boot queueing is needed, an "initialized" flag may be added to
the rcu_tasks structure. Then queueing a callback before this flag is set
would initialize the callback list (if needed) and queue the callback.
The decision as to where to queue the callback given the possibility of
non-zero boot CPUs is left as an exercise for the reader.

The passed parameter to sysrq handlers is a key (a character). So change
the type from 'int' to 'u8'. Let it specifically be 'u8' for two
reasons:
* unsigned: unsigned values come from the upper layers (devices) and the
tty layer assumes unsigned on most places, and
* 8-bit: as that what's supposed to be one day in all the layers built
on the top of tty. (Currently, we use mostly 'unsigned char' and
somewhere still only 'char'. (But that also translates to the former
thanks to -funsigned-char.))

The likely cause is that init_waitqueue_head() is called after the call to
the torture_create_kthread() function that creates the ref_scale_reader
kthread. Although this init_waitqueue_head() call will very likely
complete before this kthread is created and starts running, it is
possible that the calling kthread will be delayed between the calls to
torture_create_kthread() and init_waitqueue_head(). In this case, the
new kthread will use the waitqueue head before it is properly initialized,
which is not good for the kernel's health and well-being.
The above crash happened here:

The various RCU Tasks flavors now do lazy grace periods when there are
only asynchronous grace period requests. By default, the system will let
250 milliseconds elapse after the first call_rcu_tasks*() callbacki is
queued before starting a grace period. In contrast, synchronous grace
period requests such as synchronize_rcu_tasks*() will start a grace
period immediately.
However, invoking one of the call_rcu_tasks*() functions in a too-tight
loop can result in a callback flood, which in turn can exhaust memory
if grace periods are delayed for too long.
This commit therefore sets a limit so that the grace-period kthread
will be awakened when any CPU's callback list expands to contain
rcupdate.rcu_task_lazy_lim callbacks elements (defaulting to 32, set to -1
to disable), the grace-period kthread will be awakened, thus cancelling
any ongoing laziness and getting out in front of the potential callback
flood.

The performance requirements on RCU Tasks, and in particular on RCU
Tasks Trace, have evolved over time as the workloads have evolved.
The current implementation is designed to provide low grace-period
latencies, and also to accommodate short-duration floods of callbacks.
However, current workloads can also provide a constant background
callback-queuing rate of a few hundred call_rcu_tasks_trace() invocations
per second. This results in continuous back-to-back RCU Tasks Trace
grace periods, which in turn can consume the better part of 10% of a CPU.
One could take the attitude that there are several tens of other CPUs on
the systems running such workloads, but energy efficiency is a thing.
On these systems, although asynchronous grace-period requests happen
every few milliseconds, synchronous grace-period requests are quite rare.
This commit therefore arrranges for grace periods to be initiated
immediately in response to calls to synchronize_rcu_tasks*() and
also to calls to synchronize_rcu_mult() that are passed one of the
call_rcu_tasks*() functions. These are recognized by the tell-tale
wakeme_after_rcu callback function.
In other cases, callbacks are gathered up for up to about 250 milliseconds
before a grace period is initiated. This results in more than an order of
magnitude reduction in RCU Tasks Trace grace periods, with corresponding
reduction in consumption of CPU time.

If a CPU is executing a long series of non-sleeping system calls,
RCU grace periods can be delayed for on the order of a couple hundred
milliseconds. This is normally not a problem, but if each system call
does a call_rcu(), those callbacks can stack up. RCU will eventually
notice this callback storm, but use of rcu_request_urgent_qs_task()
allows the code invoking call_rcu() to give RCU a heads up.
This function is not for general use, not yet, anyway.

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

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

The per-CPU rcu_data structure's ->cpu_no_qs.b.exp field is updated
only on the instance corresponding to the current CPU, but can be read
more widely. Unmarked accesses are OK from the corresponding CPU, but
only if interrupts are disabled, given that interrupt handlers can and
do modify this field.
Unfortunately, although the load from rcu_preempt_deferred_qs() is always
carried out from the corresponding CPU, interrupts are not necessarily
disabled. This commit therefore upgrades this load to READ_ONCE.
Similarly, the diagnostic access from synchronize_rcu_expedited_wait()
might run with interrupts disabled and from some other CPU. This commit
therefore marks this load with data_race().
Finally, the C-language access in rcu_preempt_ctxt_queue() is OK as
is because interrupts are disabled and this load is always from the
corresponding CPU. This commit adds a comment giving the rationale for
this access being safe.

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

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

The shrinker resets the lazy callbacks counter in order to trigger the
pending lazy queue flush though the rcuog kthread. The counter reset is
protected by the ->nocb_lock against concurrent accesses...except
for one of them. Here is a list of existing synchronized readers/writer:
1) The first lazy enqueuer (incrementing ->lazy_len to 1) does so under
->nocb_lock and ->nocb_bypass_lock.
2) The further lazy enqueuers (incrementing ->lazy_len above 1) do so
under ->nocb_bypass_lock _only_.
3) The lazy flush checks and resets to 0 under ->nocb_lock and
->nocb_bypass_lock.
The shrinker protects its ->lazy_len reset against cases 1) and 3) but
not against 2). As such, setting ->lazy_len to 0 under the ->nocb_lock
may be cancelled right away by an overwrite from an enqueuer, leading
rcuog to ignore the flush.
To avoid that, use the proper bypass flush API which takes care of all
those details.

The shrinker may run concurrently with callbacks (de-)offloading. As
such, calling rcu_nocb_lock() is very dangerous because it does a
conditional locking. The worst outcome is that rcu_nocb_lock() doesn't
lock but rcu_nocb_unlock() eventually unlocks, or the reverse, creating
an imbalance.
Fix this with protecting against (de-)offloading using the barrier mutex.
Although if the barrier mutex is contended, which should be rare, then
step aside so as not to trigger a mutex VS allocation

During this time, kfree_rcu_work() might run, and might fill in part or

This will not overfill the cache because put_cached_bnode() will reject

The add_ptr_to_bulk_krc_lock() function is invoked to allocate a new
kfree_rcu() page, also known as a kvfree_rcu_bulk_data structure.
The kfree_rcu_cpu structure's lock is used to protect this operation,
except that this lock must be momentarily dropped when allocating memory.
It is clearly important that the lock that is reacquired be the same
lock that was acquired initially via krc_this_cpu_lock().
Unfortunately, this same krc_this_cpu_lock() function is used to
re-acquire this lock, and if the task migrated to some other CPU during
the memory allocation, this will result in the kvfree_rcu_bulk_data

Merge tag 'rcu.6.4.april5.2023.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jfern/linux
Pull RCU updates from Joel Fernandes:
- Updates and additions to MAINTAINERS files, with Boqun being added to
the RCU entry and Zqiang being added as an RCU reviewer.
I have also transitioned from reviewer to maintainer; however, Paul
will be taking over sending RCU pull-requests for the next merge
window.
- Resolution of hotplug warning in nohz code, achieved by fixing
cpu_is_hotpluggable() through interaction with the nohz subsystem.
Tick dependency modifications by Zqiang, focusing on fixing usage of
the TICK_DEP_BIT_RCU_EXP bitmask.
- Avoid needless calls to the rcu-lazy shrinker for CONFIG_RCU_LAZY=n
kernels, fixed by Zqiang.
- Improvements to rcu-tasks stall reporting by Neeraj.
- Initial renaming of k[v]free_rcu() to k[v]free_rcu_mightsleep() for
increased robustness, affecting several components like mac802154,
drbd, vmw_vmci, tracing, and more.
A report by Eric Dumazet showed that the API could be unknowingly
used in an atomic context, so we'd rather make sure they know what
they're asking for by being explicit:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20221202052847.2623997-1-edumazet@google.com/
- Documentation updates, including corrections to spelling,
clarifications in comments, and improvements to the srcu_size_state
comments.
- Better srcu_struct cache locality for readers, by adjusting the size
of srcu_struct in support of SRCU usage by Christoph Hellwig.
- Teach lockdep to detect deadlocks between srcu_read_lock() vs
synchronize_srcu() contributed by Boqun.
Previously lockdep could not detect such deadlocks, now it can.
- Integration of rcutorture and rcu-related tools, targeted for v6.4
from Boqun's tree, featuring new SRCU deadlock scenarios, test_nmis
module parameter, and more
- Miscellaneous changes, various code cleanups and comment improvements

Memory passed to kvfree_rcu() that is to be freed is tracked by a
per-CPU kfree_rcu_cpu structure, which in turn contains pointers
to kvfree_rcu_bulk_data structures that contain pointers to memory
that has not yet been handed to RCU, along with an kfree_rcu_cpu_work
structure that tracks the memory that has already been handed to RCU.
These structures track three categories of memory: (1) Memory for
kfree(), (2) Memory for kvfree(), and (3) Memory for both that arrived
during an OOM episode. The first two categories are tracked in a
cache-friendly manner involving a dynamically allocated page of pointers
(the aforementioned kvfree_rcu_bulk_data structures), while the third
uses a simple (but decidedly cache-unfriendly) linked list through the
rcu_head structures in each block of memory.
On a given CPU, these three categories are handled as a unit, with that
CPU's kfree_rcu_cpu_work structure having one pointer for each of the
three categories. Clearly, new memory for a given category cannot be
placed in the corresponding kfree_rcu_cpu_work structure until any old
memory has had its grace period elapse and thus has been removed. And
the kfree_rcu_monitor() function does in fact check for this.
Except that the kfree_rcu_monitor() function checks these pointers one
at a time. This means that if the previous kfree_rcu() memory passed
to RCU had only category 1 and the current one has only category 2, the
kfree_rcu_monitor() function will send that current category-2 memory
along immediately. This can result in memory being freed too soon,
that is, out from under unsuspecting RCU readers.
To see this, consider the following sequence of events, in which:
o Task A on CPU 0 calls rcu_read_lock(), then uses "from_cset",
then is preempted.
o CPU 1 calls kfree_rcu(cset, rcu_head) in order to free "from_cset"
after a later grace period. Except that "from_cset" is freed
right after the previous grace period ended, so that "from_cset"
is immediately freed. Task A resumes and references "from_cset"'s
member, after which nothing good happens.

This commit therefore causes kfree_rcu_monitor() to refrain from moving
kfree_rcu() memory to the kfree_rcu_cpu_work structure until the RCU
grace period has completed for all three categories.
v2: Use helper function instead of inserted code block at kfree_rcu_monitor().

The kfree_rcu() and kvfree_rcu() macros' single-argument forms are
deprecated. Therefore switch to the new kfree_rcu_mightsleep() and
kvfree_rcu_mightsleep() variants. The goal is to avoid accidental use
of the single-argument forms, which can introduce functionality bugs in
atomic contexts and latency bugs in non-atomic contexts.

For kernels built with CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU=y, the following scenario can
result in a NULL-pointer dereference:
CPU1 CPU2
rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_irqrestore rcu_print_task_exp_stall
if (special.b.blocked) READ_ONCE(rnp->exp_tasks) != NULL
raw_spin_lock_rcu_node
np = rcu_next_node_entry(t, rnp)
if (&t->rcu_node_entry == rnp->exp_tasks)
WRITE_ONCE(rnp->exp_tasks, np)
....
raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore_rcu_node
raw_spin_lock_irqsave_rcu_node
t = list_entry(rnp->exp_tasks->prev,
struct task_struct, rcu_node_entry)
(if rnp->exp_tasks is NULL, this
will dereference a NULL pointer)
The problem is that CPU2 accesses the rcu_node structure's->exp_tasks
field without holding the rcu_node structure's ->lock and CPU2 did
not observe CPU1's change to rcu_node structure's ->exp_tasks in time.
Therefore, if CPU1 sets rcu_node structure's->exp_tasks pointer to NULL,
then CPU2 might dereference that NULL pointer.
This commit therefore holds the rcu_node structure's ->lock while
accessing that structure's->exp_tasks field.

The call to synchronize_srcu() from rcu_tasks_postscan() can be stalled
by a task getting stuck in do_exit() between that function's calls to
exit_tasks_rcu_start() and exit_tasks_rcu_finish(). To ease diagnosis
of this situation, print a stall warning message every rcu_task_stall_info
period when rcu_tasks_postscan() is stalled.

According to the commit log of the patch that added it to the kernel,
start_poll_synchronize_rcu_expedited() can be invoked very early, as
in long before rcu_init() has been invoked. But before rcu_init(),
the rcu_data structure's ->mynode field has not yet been initialized.
This means that the start_poll_synchronize_rcu_expedited() function's
attempt to set the CPU's leaf rcu_node structure's ->exp_seq_poll_rq
field will result in a segmentation fault.
This commit therefore causes start_poll_synchronize_rcu_expedited() to
set ->exp_seq_poll_rq only after rcu_init() has initialized all CPUs'
rcu_data structures' ->mynode fields. It also removes the check from
the rcu_init() function so that start_poll_synchronize_rcu_expedited(
is unconditionally invoked. Yes, this might result in an unnecessary
boot-time grace period, but this is down in the noise.

The rcu_accelerate_cbs() function is invoked by rcu_report_qs_rdp()
only if there is a grace period in progress that is still blocked
by at least one CPU on this rcu_node structure. This means that
rcu_accelerate_cbs() should never return the value true, and thus that
this function should never set the needwake variable and in turn never
invoke rcu_gp_kthread_wake().
This commit therefore removes the needwake variable and the invocation
of rcu_gp_kthread_wake() in favor of a WARN_ON_ONCE() on the call to
rcu_accelerate_cbs(). The purpose of this new WARN_ON_ONCE() is to
detect situations where the system's opinion differs from ours.
