b3a5d11199 percpu_ref: Update doc to dissuade users from depending on internal RCU grace periods
percpu_ref internally uses sched-RCU to implement the percpu -> atomic
mode switching and the documentation suggested that this could be
depended upon.  This doesn't seem like a good idea.

* percpu_ref uses sched-RCU which has different grace periods regular
  RCU.  Users may combine percpu_ref with regular RCU usage and
  incorrectly believe that regular RCU grace periods are performed by
  percpu_ref.  This can lead to, for example, use-after-free due to
  premature freeing.

* percpu_ref has a grace period when switching from percpu to atomic
  mode.  It doesn't have one between the last put and release.  This
  distinction is subtle and can lead to surprising bugs.

* percpu_ref allows starting in and switching to atomic mode manually
  for debugging and other purposes.  This means that there may not be
  any grace periods from kill to release.

This patch makes it clear that the grace periods are percpu_ref's
internal implementation detail and can't be depended upon by the
users.

210f7cdcf0 percpu-refcount: support synchronous switch to atomic mode.
percpu_ref_switch_to_atomic_sync() schedules the switch to atomic mode, then
waits for it to complete.

Also export percpu_ref_switch_to_* so they can be used from modules.

This will be used in md/raid to count the number of pending write
requests to an array.
We occasionally need to check if the count is zero, but most often
we don't care.
We always want updates to the counter to be fast, as in some cases
we count every 4K page.

a67823c1ed percpu-refcount: init ->confirm_switch member properly
This patch targets two things which are related to ->confirm_switch:

 1. Init ->confirm_switch pointer with NULL on percpu_ref_init() or
    kernel frightfully complains with WARN_ON_ONCE(ref->confirm_switch)
    at __percpu_ref_switch_to_atomic if memory chunk was not properly
    zeroed.

 2. Warn if RCU callback is still in progress on percpu_ref_exit().
    The race still exists, because percpu_ref_call_confirm_rcu()
    drops ->confirm_switch to NULL early, but that is only a warning
    and still the caller is responsible that ref is no longer in
    active use.  Hopefully that can help to catch incorrect usage
    of percpu-refcount.

33e465ce7c percpu_ref: allow operation mode switching operations to be called concurrently
percpu_ref initially didn't have explicit mode switching operations.
It started out in percpu mode and switched to atomic mode on kill and
then released.  Ensuring that kill operation is initiated only after
init completes was naturally the caller's responsibility.

percpu_ref_reinit() was introduced later but it didn't shift the
synchronization responsibility.  Reinit can't be performed until kill
is confirmed, so there was nothing to worry about
synchronization-wise.  Also, as both reinit and kill manipulate the
base reference, invocations of the same function couldn't be allowed
to race each other.

The latest additions of percpu_ref_switch_to_atomic/percpu() changed
the situation.  These two functions can be called any time as long as
the percpu_ref is between init and exit and thus there are valid valid
usage scenarios where these new functions race with each other or
against reinit/kill.  Mostly from inertia, f47ad45784 ("percpu_ref:
decouple switching to percpu mode and reinit") still left
synchronization among percpu mode switching operations to its users.

That the new switch functions can be freely mixed with kill/reinit but
the operations themselves should be synchronized is too subtle a
requirement and led to a very subtle race condition in blk-mq freezing
path.

This patch fixes the situation by introducing percpu_ref_switch_lock
to protect mode switching operations.  This ensures that percpu-ref
users don't have to worry about mode changing operations racing
against each other, e.g. switch_to_percpu against kill, as long as the
sequence of operations is valid.

3f49bdd958 percpu_ref: restructure operation mode switching
Restructure atomic/percpu mode switching.

* The users of __percpu_ref_switch_to_atomic/percpu() now call a new
  function __percpu_ref_switch_mode() which calls either of the
  original switching functions depending on the current state of
  ref->force_atomic and the __PERCPU_REF_DEAD flag.  The callers no
  longer check whether switching is necessary but always invoke
  __percpu_ref_switch_mode().

* !ref->confirm_switch waiting is collected into
  __percpu_ref_switch_mode().

18808354b7 percpu_ref: unify staggered atomic switching wait behavior
When an atomic or percpu switching starts before the previous atomic
switching finishes, the taken behaviors are

* If the new atomic switching has confirmation callback, it waits
  for the previous atomic switching to complete.

* If the new percpu switching is the first percpu switching following
  the previous atomic switching, it waits the previous atomic
  switching to complete.

No percpu_ref user depends on these subtleties.  The only meaningful
part is that, if the caller ensures that atomic switching isn't in
progress, mode switching operations can be issued from any context.

This patch pulls the wait logic to the top of both switching functions
so that they always wait for the previous atomic switching to
complete.  This makes the behavior simpler and consistent for both
directions and will help allowing concurrent invocations of mode
switching functions.

a2f5630cb7 percpu_ref: remove unnecessary RCU grace period for staggered atomic switching confirmation
At the beginning, percpu_ref guaranteed a RCU grace period between a
call to percpu_ref_kill_and_confirm() and the invocation of the
confirmation callback.  This guarantee exposed internal implementation
details and got rescinded while switching over to sched RCU; however,
__percpu_ref_switch_to_atomic() still inserts a full sched RCU grace
period even when it can simply wait for the previous attempt.

Remove the unnecessary grace period and perform the confirmation
synchronously for staggered atomic switching attempts.  Update
comments accordingly.

1cae13e75b percpu_ref: make INIT_ATOMIC and switch_to_atomic() sticky
Currently, a percpu_ref which is initialized with
PERPCU_REF_INIT_ATOMIC or switched to atomic mode via
switch_to_atomic() automatically reverts to percpu mode on the first
percpu_ref_reinit().  This makes the atomic mode difficult to use for
cases where a percpu_ref is used as a persistent on/off switch which
may be cycled multiple times.

This patch makes such atomic state sticky so that it survives through
kill/reinit cycles.  After this patch, atomic state is cleared only by
an explicit percpu_ref_switch_to_percpu() call.

2aad2a86f6 percpu_ref: add PERCPU_REF_INIT_* flags
With the recent addition of percpu_ref_reinit(), percpu_ref now can be
used as a persistent switch which can be turned on and off repeatedly
where turning off maps to killing the ref and waiting for it to drain;
however, there currently isn't a way to initialize a percpu_ref in its
off (killed and drained) state, which can be inconvenient for certain
persistent switch use cases.

Similarly, percpu_ref_switch_to_atomic/percpu() allow dynamic
selection of operation mode; however, currently a newly initialized
percpu_ref is always in percpu mode making it impossible to avoid the
latency overhead of switching to atomic mode.

This patch adds @flags to percpu_ref_init() and implements the
following flags.

* PERCPU_REF_INIT_ATOMIC	: start ref in atomic mode
* PERCPU_REF_INIT_DEAD		: start ref killed and drained

These flags should be able to serve the above two use cases.

v2: target_core_tpg.c conversion was missing.  Fixed.

f47ad45784 percpu_ref: decouple switching to percpu mode and reinit
percpu_ref has treated the dropping of the base reference and
switching to atomic mode as an integral operation; however, there's
nothing inherent tying the two together.

The use cases for percpu_ref have been expanding continuously.  While
the current init/kill/reinit/exit model can cover a lot, the coupling
of kill/reinit with atomic/percpu mode switching is turning out to be
too restrictive for use cases where many percpu_refs are created and
destroyed back-to-back with only some of them reaching extended
operation.  The coupling also makes implementing always-atomic debug
mode difficult.

This patch separates out percpu mode switching into
percpu_ref_switch_to_percpu() and reimplements percpu_ref_reinit() on
top of it.

* DEAD still requires ATOMIC.  A dead ref can't be switched to percpu
  mode w/o going through reinit.

v2: __percpu_ref_switch_to_percpu() was missing static.  Fixed.

* percpu_ref_switch_to_atomic() can be called multiple times on the
  same ref.  This means that multiple @confirm_switch may get queued
  up which we can't do reliably without extra memory area.  This is
  handled by making the later invocation synchronously wait for the
  completion of the previous one.  This isn't particularly desirable
  but such synchronous waits shouldn't happen in most cases.

27344a9017 percpu_ref: add PCPU_REF_DEAD
percpu_ref will be restructured so that percpu/atomic mode switching
and reference killing are dedoupled.  In preparation, add
PCPU_REF_DEAD and PCPU_REF_ATOMIC_DEAD which is OR of ATOMIC and DEAD.
For now, ATOMIC and DEAD are changed together and all PCPU_REF_ATOMIC
uses are converted to PCPU_REF_ATOMIC_DEAD without causing any
behavior changes.

percpu_ref_init() now specifies an explicit alignment when allocating
the percpu counters so that the pointer has enough unused low bits to
accomodate the flags.  Note that one flag was fine as min alignment
for percpu memory is 2 bytes but two flags are already too many for
the natural alignment of unsigned longs on archs like cris and m68k.

v2: The original patch had BUILD_BUG_ON() which triggers if unsigned
    long's alignment isn't enough to accomodate the flags, which
    triggered on cris and m64k.  percpu_ref_init() updated to specify
    the required alignment explicitly.  Reported by Fengguang.

0a30288da1 blk-mq, percpu_ref: implement a kludge for SCSI blk-mq stall during probe
blk-mq uses percpu_ref for its usage counter which tracks the number
of in-flight commands and used to synchronously drain the queue on
freeze.  percpu_ref shutdown takes measureable wallclock time as it
involves a sched RCU grace period.  This means that draining a blk-mq
takes measureable wallclock time.  One would think that this shouldn't
matter as queue shutdown should be a rare event which takes place
asynchronously w.r.t. userland.

Unfortunately, SCSI probing involves synchronously setting up and then
tearing down a lot of request_queues back-to-back for non-existent
LUNs.  This means that SCSI probing may take more than ten seconds
when scsi-mq is used.

This will be properly fixed by implementing a mechanism to keep
q->mq_usage_counter in atomic mode till genhd registration; however,
that involves rather big updates to percpu_ref which is difficult to
apply late in the devel cycle (v3.17-rc6 at the moment).  As a
stop-gap measure till the proper fix can be implemented in the next
cycle, this patch introduces __percpu_ref_kill_expedited() and makes
blk_mq_freeze_queue() use it.  This is heavy-handed but should work
for testing the experimental SCSI blk-mq implementation.

e625305b39 percpu-refcount: make percpu_ref based on longs instead of ints
percpu_ref is currently based on ints and the number of refs it can
cover is (1 << 31).  This makes it impossible to use a percpu_ref to
count memory objects or pages on 64bit machines as it may overflow.
This forces those users to somehow aggregate the references before
contributing to the percpu_ref which is often cumbersome and sometimes
challenging to get the same level of performance as using the
percpu_ref directly.

While using ints for the percpu counters makes them pack tighter on
64bit machines, the possible gain from using ints instead of longs is
extremely small compared to the overall gain from per-cpu operation.
This patch makes percpu_ref based on longs so that it can be used to
directly count memory objects or pages.

too, make it a public interface.

9a1049da9b percpu-refcount: require percpu_ref to be exited explicitly
Currently, a percpu_ref undoes percpu_ref_init() automatically by
freeing the allocated percpu area when the percpu_ref is killed.
While seemingly convenient, this has the following niggles.

* It's impossible to re-init a released reference counter without
  going through re-allocation.

* In the similar vein, it's impossible to initialize a percpu_ref
  count with static percpu variables.

* We need and have an explicit destructor anyway for failure paths -
  percpu_ref_cancel_init().

This patch removes the automatic percpu counter freeing in
percpu_ref_kill_rcu() and repurposes percpu_ref_cancel_init() into a
generic destructor now named percpu_ref_exit().  percpu_ref_destroy()
is considered but it gets confusing with percpu_ref_kill() while
"exit" clearly indicates that it's the counterpart of
percpu_ref_init().

All percpu_ref_cancel_init() users are updated to invoke
percpu_ref_exit() instead and explicit percpu_ref_exit() calls are
added to the destruction path of all percpu_ref users.

Let's just make the field unsigned long so that we can skip the first
casts.  While at it, rename it to pcpu_counter_ptr to clarify that
it's a pointer value.

eae7975ddf percpu-refcount: add helpers for ->percpu_count accesses
* All four percpu_ref_*() operations implemented in the header file
  perform the same operation to determine whether the percpu_ref is
  alive and extract the percpu pointer.  Factor out the common logic
  into __pcpu_ref_alive().  This doesn't change the generated code.

* There are a couple places in percpu-refcount.c which masks out
  PCPU_REF_DEAD to obtain the percpu pointer.  Factor it out into
  pcpu_count_ptr().

* The above changes make the WARN_ON_ONCE() conditional at the top of
  percpu_ref_kill_and_confirm() the only user of REF_STATUS().  Test
  PCPU_REF_DEAD directly and remove REF_STATUS().

This patch doesn't introduce any functional change.

d630dc4c9a percpu-refcount: one bit is enough for REF_STATUS
percpu-refcount currently reserves two lowest bits of its percpu
pointer to indicate its state; however, only one bit is used for
PCPU_REF_DEAD.

Simplify it by removing PCPU_STATUS_BITS/MASK and testing
PCPU_REF_DEAD directly.  This also allows the compiler to choose a
more efficient instruction depending on the architecture.

687b0ad275 percpu-refcount: Add a WARN() for ref going negative
AIO had a missing get, which led to an ioctx leak - after percpu_ref_kill() the
ref was 0 so percpu_ref_put() never saw it hit 0.

This wasn't noticed at the time because it all happened completely silently,
this adds a WARN() which would've caught the aio bug.

tj: Used WARN_ONCE() instead of WARN().

a4244454df percpu-refcount: use RCU-sched insted of normal RCU
percpu-refcount was incorrectly using preempt_disable/enable() for RCU
critical sections against call_rcu().  6a24474da8 ("percpu-refcount:
consistently use plain (non-sched) RCU") fixed it by converting the
preepmtion operations with rcu_read_[un]lock() citing that there isn't
any advantage in using sched-RCU over using the usual one; however,
rcu_read_[un]lock() for the preemptible RCU implementation -
CONFIG_TREE_PREEMPT_RCU, chosen when CONFIG_PREEMPT - are slightly
more expensive than preempt_disable/enable().

In a contrived microbench which repeats the followings,

 - percpu_ref_get()
 - copy 32 bytes of data into percpu buffer
 - percpu_put_get()
 - copy 32 bytes of data into percpu buffer

rcu_read_[un]lock() used in percpu_ref_get/put() makes it go slower by
about 15% when compared to using sched-RCU.

As the RCU critical sections are extremely short, using sched-RCU
shouldn't have any latency implications.  Convert to RCU-sched.

dbece3a0f1 percpu-refcount: implement percpu_tryget() along with percpu_ref_kill_and_confirm()
Implement percpu_tryget() which stops giving out references once the
percpu_ref is visible as killed.  Because the refcnt is per-cpu,
different CPUs will start to see a refcnt as killed at different
points in time and tryget() may continue to succeed on subset of cpus
for a while after percpu_ref_kill() returns.

For use cases where it's necessary to know when all CPUs start to see
the refcnt as dead, percpu_ref_kill_and_confirm() is added.  The new
function takes an extra argument @confirm_kill which is invoked when
the refcnt is guaranteed to be viewed as killed on all CPUs.

While this isn't the prettiest interface, it doesn't force synchronous
wait and is much safer than requiring the caller to do its own
call_rcu().

v2: Patch description rephrased to emphasize that tryget() may
    continue to succeed on some CPUs after kill() returns as suggested
    by Kent.

v3: Function comment in percpu_ref_kill_and_confirm() updated warning
    people to not depend on the implied RCU grace period from the
    confirm callback as it's an implementation detail.

bc497bd33b percpu-refcount: implement percpu_ref_cancel_init()
Normally, percpu_ref_init() initializes and percpu_ref_kill()
initiates destruction which completes asynchronously.  The
asynchronous destruction can be problematic in init failure path where
the caller wants to destroy half-constructed object - distinguishing
half-constructed objects from the usual release method can be painful
for complex objects.

This patch implements percpu_ref_cancel_init() which synchronously
destroys the percpu_ref without invoking release.  To avoid
unintentional misuses, the function requires the ref to have finished
percpu_ref_init() but never used and triggers WARN otherwise.

v2: Explain the weird name and usage restriction in the function
    comment.

acac7883ee percpu-refcount: add __must_check to percpu_ref_init() and don't use ACCESS_ONCE() in percpu_ref_kill_rcu()
Two small changes.

* Unlike most init functions, percpu_ref_init() allocates memory and
  may fail.  Let's mark it with __must_check in case the caller
  forgets.

* percpu_ref_kill_rcu() is unnecessarily using ACCESS_ONCE() to
  dereference @ref->pcpu_count, which can be misleading.  The pointer
  is guaranteed to be valid and visible and can't change underneath
  the function.  Drop ACCESS_ONCE().

c1ae6e9b4d percpu-refcount: Don't use silly cmpxchg()
The cmpxchg() was just to ensure the debug check didn't race, which was
a bit excessive. The caller is supposed to do the appropriate
synchronization, which means percpu_ref_kill() can just do a simple
store.

215e262f2a percpu: implement generic percpu refcounting
This implements a refcount with similar semantics to
atomic_get()/atomic_dec_and_test() - but percpu.

It also implements two stage shutdown, as we need it to tear down the
percpu counts.  Before dropping the initial refcount, you must call
percpu_ref_kill(); this puts the refcount in "shutting down mode" and
switches back to a single atomic refcount with the appropriate
barriers (synchronize_rcu()).

It's also legal to call percpu_ref_kill() multiple times - it only
returns true once, so callers don't have to reimplement shutdown
synchronization.
