Low WORK_STRUCT_FLAG_BITS bits of work_struct->data contain
WORK_STRUCT_FLAG_* and flush color. If the work item is queued, the
rest point to the cpu_workqueue with WORK_STRUCT_CWQ set; otherwise,
WORK_STRUCT_CWQ is clear and the bits contain the last CPU number -
either a real CPU number or one of WORK_CPU_*.
Scheduled addition of mod_delayed_work[_on]() requires an additional
flag, which is used only while a work item is off queue. There are
more than enough bits to represent off-queue CPU number on both 32 and
64bits. This patch introduces WORK_OFFQ_FLAG_* which occupy the lower
part of the @work->data high bits while off queue. This patch doesn't
define any actual OFFQ flag yet.
Off-queue CPU number is now shifted by WORK_OFFQ_CPU_SHIFT, which adds
the number of bits used by OFFQ flags to WORK_STRUCT_FLAG_SHIFT, to
make room for OFFQ flags.
To avoid shift width warning with large WORK_OFFQ_FLAG_BITS, ulong
cast is added to WORK_STRUCT_NO_CPU and, just in case, BUILD_BUG_ON()
to check that there are enough bits to accomodate off-queue CPU number
is added.

Queueing functions have been using different methods to determine the
local CPU.
* queue_work() superflously uses get/put_cpu() to acquire and hold the
local CPU across queue_work_on().
* delayed_work_timer_fn() uses smp_processor_id().
* queue_delayed_work() calls queue_delayed_work_on() with -1 @cpu
which is interpreted as the local CPU.
* flush_delayed_work[_sync]() were using raw_smp_processor_id().
* __queue_work() interprets %WORK_CPU_UNBOUND as local CPU if the
target workqueue is bound one but nobody uses this.
This patch converts all functions to uniformly use %WORK_CPU_UNBOUND

__queue_work(). unlikely() is dropped from %WORK_CPU_UNBOUND handling

Queueing operations use WORK_STRUCT_PENDING_BIT to synchronize access
to the target work item. They first try to claim the bit and proceed
with queueing only after that succeeds and there's a window between
PENDING being set and the actual queueing where the task can be
interrupted or preempted.
There's also a similar window in process_one_work() when clearing
PENDING. A work item is dequeued, gcwq->lock is released and then
PENDING is cleared and the worker might get interrupted or preempted
between releasing gcwq->lock and clearing PENDING.
cancel[_delayed]_work_sync() tries to claim or steal PENDING. The
function assumes that a work item with PENDING is either queued or in
the process of being [de]queued. In the latter case, it busy-loops
until either the work item loses PENDING or is queued. If canceling
coincides with the above described interrupts or preemptions, the
canceling task will busy-loop while the queueing or executing task is
preempted.
This patch keeps irq disabled across claiming PENDING and actual
queueing and moves PENDING clearing in process_one_work() inside
gcwq->lock so that busy looping from PENDING && !queued doesn't wait
for interrupted/preempted tasks. Note that, in process_one_work(),
setting last CPU and clearing PENDING got merged into single
operation.
This removes possible long busy-loops and will allow using
try_to_grab_pending() from bh and irq contexts.
v2: __queue_work() was testing preempt_count() to ensure that the
caller has disabled preemption. This triggers spuriously if
!CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT. Use preemptible() instead. Reported by
Fengguang Wu.
v3: Disable irq instead of preemption. IRQ will be disabled while
grabbing gcwq->lock later anyway and this allows using

WORK_STRUCT_PENDING is used to claim ownership of a work item and
process_one_work() releases it before starting execution. When
someone else grabs PENDING, all pre-release updates to the work item
should be visible and all updates made by the new owner should happen
afterwards.
Grabbing PENDING uses test_and_set_bit() and thus has a full barrier;
however, clearing doesn't have a matching wmb. Given the preceding
spin_unlock and use of clear_bit, I don't believe this can be a
problem on an actual machine and there hasn't been any related report
but it still is theretically possible for clear_pending to permeate
upwards and happen before work->entry update.

With the previous changes, a disassociated global_cwq now can run as
an unbound one on its own - it can create workers as necessary to
drain remaining works after the CPU has been brought down and manage
the number of workers using the usual idle timer mechanism making
trustee completely redundant except for the actual unbinding
operation.
This patch removes the trustee and let a disassociated global_cwq
manage itself. Unbinding is moved to a work item (for CPU affinity)
which is scheduled and flushed from CPU_DONW_PREPARE.
This patch moves nr_running clearing outside gcwq and manager locks to
simplify the code. As nr_running is unused at the point, this is

Currently, during CPU offlining, after all pending work items are
drained, the trustee butchers all workers. Also, on CPU onlining
failure, workqueue_cpu_callback() ensures that the first idle worker
is destroyed. Combined, these guarantee that an offline CPU doesn't
have any worker for it once all the lingering work items are finished.
This guarantee isn't really necessary and makes CPU on/offlining more
expensive than needs to be, especially for platforms which use CPU
hotplug for powersaving.
This patch lets offline CPUs removes idle worker butchering from the
trustee and let a CPU which failed onlining keep the created first
worker. The first worker is created if the CPU doesn't have any
during CPU_DOWN_PREPARE and started right away. If onlining succeeds,
the rebind_workers() call in CPU_ONLINE will rebind it like any other
workers. If onlining fails, the worker is left alone till the next
try.
This makes CPU hotplugs cheaper by allowing global_cwqs to keep
workers across them and simplifies code.
Note that trustee doesn't re-arm idle timer when it's done and thus
the disassociated global_cwq will keep all workers until it comes back
online. This will be improved by further patches.

Currently, if there are left workers when a CPU is being brough back
online, the trustee kills all idle workers and scheduled rebind_work
so that they re-bind to the CPU after the currently executing work is
finished. This works for busy workers because concurrency management
doesn't try to wake up them from scheduler callbacks, which require
the target task to be on the local run queue. The busy worker bumps
concurrency counter appropriately as it clears WORKER_UNBOUND from the
rebind work item and it's bound to the CPU before returning to the
idle state.
To reduce CPU on/offlining overhead (as many embedded systems use it
for powersaving) and simplify the code path, workqueue is planned to
be modified to retain idle workers across CPU on/offlining. This
patch reimplements CPU online rebinding such that it can also handle
idle workers.
As noted earlier, due to the local wakeup requirement, rebinding idle
workers is tricky. All idle workers must be re-bound before scheduler
callbacks are enabled. This is achieved by interlocking idle
re-binding. Idle workers are requested to re-bind and then hold until
all idle re-binding is complete so that no bound worker starts
executing work item. Only after all idle workers are re-bound and
parked, CPU_ONLINE proceeds to release them and queue rebind work item
to busy workers thus guaranteeing scheduler callbacks aren't invoked
until all idle workers are ready.
worker_rebind_fn() is renamed to busy_worker_rebind_fn() and
idle_worker_rebind() for idle workers is added. Rebinding logic is
moved to rebind_workers() and now called from CPU_ONLINE after
flushing trustee. While at it, add CPU sanity check in
worker_thread().
Note that now a worker may become idle or the manager between trustee
release and rebinding during CPU_ONLINE. As the previous patch
updated create_worker() so that it can be used by regular manager
while unbound and this patch implements idle re-binding, this is safe.
This prepares for removal of trustee and keeping idle workers across
CPU hotplugs.

Currently, create_worker()'s callers are responsible for deciding
whether the newly created worker should be bound to the associated CPU
and create_worker() sets WORKER_UNBOUND only for the workers for the
unbound global_cwq. Creation during normal operation is always via
maybe_create_worker() and @bind is true. For workers created during
hotplug, @bind is false.
Normal operation path is planned to be used even while the CPU is
going through hotplug operations or offline and this static decision
won't work.
Drop @bind from create_worker() and decide whether to bind by looking
at GCWQ_DISASSOCIATED. create_worker() will also set WORKER_UNBOUND
autmatically if disassociated. To avoid flipping GCWQ_DISASSOCIATED
while create_worker() is in progress, the flag is now allowed to be
changed only while holding all manager_mutexes on the global_cwq.
This requires that GCWQ_DISASSOCIATED is not cleared behind trustee's
back. CPU_ONLINE no longer clears DISASSOCIATED before flushing
trustee, which clears DISASSOCIATED before rebinding remaining workers
if asked to release. For cases where trustee isn't around, CPU_ONLINE
clears DISASSOCIATED after flushing trustee. Also, now, first_idle
has UNBOUND set on creation which is explicitly cleared by CPU_ONLINE
while binding it. These convolutions will soon be removed by further
simplification of CPU hotplug path.

POOL_MANAGING_WORKERS is used to ensure that at most one worker takes
the manager role at any given time on a given global_cwq. Trustee
later hitched on it to assume manager adding blocking wait for the

MANAGING_WORKERS was rolled into the same mechanism.
Trustee is scheduled to be removed. This patch separates out
MANAGING_WORKERS wait into per-pool mutex. Workers use
mutex_trylock() to test for manager role and trustee uses mutex_lock()
to claim manager roles.
gcwq_claim/release_management() helpers are added to grab and release

Currently, all workqueue cpu hotplug operations run off
CPU_PRI_WORKQUEUE which is higher than normal notifiers. This is to
ensure that workqueue is up and running while bringing up a CPU before
other notifiers try to use workqueue on the CPU.
Per-cpu workqueues are supposed to remain working and bound to the CPU
for normal CPU_DOWN_PREPARE notifiers. This holds mostly true even
with workqueue offlining running with higher priority because
workqueue CPU_DOWN_PREPARE only creates a bound trustee thread which
runs the per-cpu workqueue without concurrency management without
explicitly detaching the existing workers.
However, if the trustee needs to create new workers, it creates
unbound workers which may wander off to other CPUs while
CPU_DOWN_PREPARE notifiers are in progress. Furthermore, if the CPU
down is cancelled, the per-CPU workqueue may end up with workers which
aren't bound to the CPU.
While reliably reproducible with a convoluted artificial test-case
involving scheduling and flushing CPU burning work items from CPU down
notifiers, this isn't very likely to happen in the wild, and, even
when it happens, the effects are likely to be hidden by the following
successful CPU down.
Fix it by using different priorities for up and down notifiers - high
priority for up operations and low priority for down operations.
Workqueue cpu hotplug operations will soon go through further cleanup.

WQ_HIGHPRI was implemented by queueing highpri work items at the head

gcwq->pools[0] is used for normal pri work items and ->pools[1] for
highpri. Highpri workers get -20 nice level and has 'H' suffix in

Under memory load, on x86_64, with lockdep enabled, the workqueue's
process_one_work() has been seen to oops in __lock_acquire(), barfing
on a 0xffffffff00000000 pointer in the lockdep_map's class_cache[].
Because it's permissible to free a work_struct from its callout function,
the map used is an onstack copy of the map given in the work_struct: and
that copy is made without any locking.
Surprisingly, gcc (4.5.1 in Hugh's case) uses "rep movsl" rather than
"rep movsq" for that structure copy: which might race with a workqueue
user's wait_on_work() doing lock_map_acquire() on the source of the
copy, putting a pointer into the class_cache[], but only in time for
the top half of that pointer to be copied to the destination map.
Boom when process_one_work() subsequently does lock_map_acquire()
on its onstack copy of the lockdep_map.
Fix this, and a similar instance in call_timer_fn(), with a
lockdep_copy_map() function which additionally NULLs the class_cache[].
Note: this oops was actually seen on 3.4-next, where flush_work() newly
does the racing lock_map_acquire(); but Tejun points out that 3.4 and
earlier are already vulnerable to the same through wait_on_work().

If a workqueue is flushed with flush_work() lockdep checking can

static DEFINE_MUTEX(mutex);
static void my_work(struct work_struct *w)
{
mutex_lock(&mutex);
mutex_unlock(&mutex);
}
static DECLARE_WORK(work, my_work);
static int __init start_test_module(void)

module_init(start_test_module);
static void __exit stop_test_module(void)
{
mutex_lock(&mutex);
flush_work(&work);
mutex_unlock(&mutex);
}
module_exit(stop_test_module);
would not always print a warning when flush_work() was called.
In this trivial example nothing could go wrong since we are
guaranteed module_init() and module_exit() don't run concurrently,
but if the work item is schedule asynchronously we could have a
scenario where the work item is running just at the time flush_work()
is called resulting in a classic ABBA locking problem.

lockdep_map in flush_work() so that we always catch this

Obviously, polling a suspended drive for media changes and such isn't
a good thing to do; in the case of USB mass-storage devices it can
lead to real problems requiring device resets and even re-enumeration.

always requeue itself again in the same workqueue. We would hit this
race condition and trip the BUG_ON on workqueue.c:3080.

There are users which want to drain workqueues without destroying it.
Separate out drain functionality from destroy_workqueue() into
drain_workqueue() and make it accessible to workqueue users.
To guarantee forward-progress, only chain queueing is allowed while
drain is in progress. If a new work item which isn't chained from the
running or pending work items is queued while draining is in progress,
WARN_ON_ONCE() is triggered.

If a rescuer and stop_machine() bringing down a CPU race with each
other, they may deadlock on non-preemptive kernel. The CPU won't
accept a new task, so the rescuer can't migrate to the target CPU,
while stop_machine() can't proceed because the rescuer is holding one
of the CPU retrying migration. GCWQ_DISASSOCIATED is never cleared
and worker_maybe_bind_and_lock() retries indefinitely.
This problem can be reproduced semi reliably while the system is
entering suspend.

A lot of kudos to Thilo-Alexander for reporting this tricky issue and
painstaking testing.
stable: This affects all kernels with cmwq, so all kernels since and
including v2.6.36 need this fix.

Percpu allocator honors alignment request upto PAGE_SIZE and both the
percpu addresses in the percpu address space and the translated kernel
addresses should be aligned accordingly. The calculation of the
former depends on the alignment of percpu output section in the kernel
image.
The linker script macros PERCPU_VADDR() and PERCPU() are used to
define this output section and the latter takes @align parameter.
Several architectures are using @align smaller than PAGE_SIZE breaking
percpu memory alignment.
This patch removes @align parameter from PERCPU(), renames it to
PERCPU_SECTION() and makes it always align to PAGE_SIZE. While at it,
add PCPU_SETUP_BUG_ON() checks such that alignment problems are
reliably detected and remove percpu alignment comment recently added
in workqueue.c as the condition would trigger BUG way before reaching
there.
For um, this patch raises the alignment of percpu area. As the area
is in .init, there shouldn't be any noticeable difference.
This problem was discovered by David Howells while debugging boot
failure on mn10300.

In complex subsystems like mac80211 structures can contain several
timers and work structs, so identifying a specific instance from the
call trace and object type output of debugobjects can be hard.
Allow the subsystems which support debugobjects to provide a hint
function. This function returns a pointer to a kernel address
(preferrably the objects callback function) which is printed along
with the debugobjects type.
Add hint methods for timer_list, work_struct and hrtimer.

MAYDAY_INITIAL_TIMEOUT is defined as HZ / 100 and depending on
configuration may end up 0 or 1. Even when it's 1, depending on when
the mayday timer is added in the current jiffy interval, it may expire
way before a jiffy has passed.
Make sure MAYDAY_INITIAL_TIMEOUT is at least two to guarantee that at
least a full jiffy has passed before calling rescuers.

There are two spellings in use for 'freeze' + 'able' - 'freezable' and
'freezeable'. The former is the more prominent one. The latter is
mostly used by workqueue and in a few other odd places. Unify the
spelling to 'freezable'.

After executing the matching works, a rescuer leaves the gcwq whether
there are more pending works or not. This may decrease the
concurrency level to zero and stall execution until a new work item is
queued on the gcwq.
Make rescuer wake up a regular worker when it leaves a gcwq if there
are more works to execute, so that execution isn't stalled.
