Workqueues can be performance or power-oriented. Currently, most workqueues are
bound to the CPU they were created on. This gives good performance (due to cache
effects) at the cost of potentially waking up otherwise idle cores (Idle from
scheduler's perspective. Which may or may not be physically idle) just to
process some work. To save power, we can allow the work to be rescheduled on a
core that is already awake.
Workqueues created with the WQ_UNBOUND flag will allow some power savings.
However, we don't change the default behaviour of the system. To enable
power-saving behaviour, a new config option CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT needs to
be turned on. This option can also be overridden by the
workqueue.power_efficient boot parameter.
tj: Updated config description and comments. Renamed
CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT to CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT_DEFAULT.

One of the problems that arise when converting dedicated custom
threadpool to workqueue is that the shared worker pool used by workqueue
anonimizes each worker making it more difficult to identify what the
worker was doing on which target from the output of sysrq-t or debug
dump from oops, BUG() and friends.
This patch implements set_worker_desc() which can be called from any
workqueue work function to set its description. When the worker task is
dumped for whatever reason - sysrq-t, WARN, BUG, oops, lockdep assertion
and so on - the description will be printed out together with the
workqueue name and the worker function pointer.
The printing side is implemented by print_worker_info() which is called
from functions in task dump paths - sched_show_task() and
dump_stack_print_info(). print_worker_info() can be safely called on
any task in any state as long as the task struct itself is accessible.
It uses probe_*() functions to access worker fields. It may print
garbage if something went very wrong, but it wouldn't cause (another)
oops.
The description is currently limited to 24bytes including the
terminating \0. worker->desc_valid and workder->desc[] are added and
the 64 bytes marker which was already incorrect before adding the new
fields is moved to the correct position.
Here's an example dump with writeback updated to set the bdi name as
worker desc.

destroy_workqueue() performs several sanity checks before proceeding
with destruction of a workqueue. One of the checks verifies that
refcnt of each pwq (pool_workqueue) is over 1 as at that point there
should be no in-flight work items and the only holder of pwq refs is
the workqueue itself.
This worked fine as a workqueue used to hold only one reference to its
pwqs; however, since 4c16bd327c ("workqueue: implement NUMA affinity
for unbound workqueues"), a workqueue may hold multiple references to
its default pwq triggering this sanity check spuriously.
Fix it by not triggering the pwq->refcnt assertion on default pwqs.
An example spurious WARN trigger follows.

Merge tag 'v3.9-rc5' into wq/for-3.10
Writeback conversion to workqueue will be based on top of wq/for-3.10
branch to take advantage of custom attrs and NUMA support for unbound
workqueues. Mainline currently contains two commits which result in
non-trivial merge conflicts with wq/for-3.10 and because
block/for-3.10/core is based on v3.9-rc3 which contains one of the
conflicting commits, we need a pre-merge-window merge anyway. Let's
pull v3.9-rc5 into wq/for-3.10 so that the block tree doesn't suffer
from workqueue merge conflicts.
The two conflicts and their resolutions:
* e68035fb65 ("workqueue: convert to idr_alloc()") in mainline changes
worker_pool_assign_id() to use idr_alloc() instead of the old idr
interface. worker_pool_assign_id() goes through multiple locking
changes in wq/for-3.10 causing the following conflict.
static int worker_pool_assign_id(struct worker_pool *pool)
{
int ret;
<<<<<<< HEAD
lockdep_assert_held(&wq_pool_mutex);
do {
if (!idr_pre_get(&worker_pool_idr, GFP_KERNEL))
return -ENOMEM;
ret = idr_get_new(&worker_pool_idr, pool, &pool->id);
} while (ret == -EAGAIN);
=======
mutex_lock(&worker_pool_idr_mutex);
ret = idr_alloc(&worker_pool_idr, pool, 0, 0, GFP_KERNEL);
if (ret >= 0)
pool->id = ret;
mutex_unlock(&worker_pool_idr_mutex);
>>>>>>> c67bf5361e
return ret < 0 ? ret : 0;
}
We want locking from the former and idr_alloc() usage from the
latter, which can be combined to the following.
static int worker_pool_assign_id(struct worker_pool *pool)
{
int ret;
lockdep_assert_held(&wq_pool_mutex);
ret = idr_alloc(&worker_pool_idr, pool, 0, 0, GFP_KERNEL);
if (ret >= 0) {
pool->id = ret;
return 0;
}
return ret;
}
* eb2834285c ("workqueue: fix possible pool stall bug in
wq_unbind_fn()") updated wq_unbind_fn() such that it has single
larger for_each_std_worker_pool() loop instead of two separate loops
with a schedule() call inbetween. wq/for-3.10 renamed
pool->assoc_mutex to pool->manager_mutex causing the following
conflict (earlier function body and comments omitted for brevity).
static void wq_unbind_fn(struct work_struct *work)
{
...
spin_unlock_irq(&pool->lock);
<<<<<<< HEAD
mutex_unlock(&pool->manager_mutex);
}
=======
mutex_unlock(&pool->assoc_mutex);
>>>>>>> c67bf5361e

<<<<<<< HEAD

atomic_set(&pool->nr_running, 0);
spin_lock_irq(&pool->lock);
wake_up_worker(pool);
spin_unlock_irq(&pool->lock);
}
}
The resolution is mostly trivial. We want the control flow of the
latter with the rename of the former.
static void wq_unbind_fn(struct work_struct *work)
{
...
spin_unlock_irq(&pool->lock);
mutex_unlock(&pool->manager_mutex);
schedule();

wake_up_worker(pool);
spin_unlock_irq(&pool->lock);

Unbound workqueues are now NUMA aware. Let's add some control knobs
and update sysfs interface accordingly.
* Add kernel param workqueue.numa_disable which disables NUMA affinity
globally.
* Replace sysfs file "pool_id" with "pool_ids" which contain
node:pool_id pairs. This change is userland-visible but "pool_id"
hasn't seen a release yet, so this is okay.
* Add a new sysf files "numa" which can toggle NUMA affinity on
individual workqueues. This is implemented as attrs->no_numa whichn
is special in that it isn't part of a pool's attributes. It only
affects how apply_workqueue_attrs() picks which pools to use.
After "pool_ids" change, first_pwq() doesn't have any user left.
Removed.

Currently, an unbound workqueue has single current, or first, pwq
(pool_workqueue) to which all new work items are queued. This often
isn't optimal on NUMA machines as workers may jump around across node
boundaries and work items get assigned to workers without any regard
to NUMA affinity.
This patch implements NUMA affinity for unbound workqueues. Instead
of mapping all entries of numa_pwq_tbl[] to the same pwq,
apply_workqueue_attrs() now creates a separate pwq covering the
intersecting CPUs for each NUMA node which has online CPUs in
@attrs->cpumask. Nodes which don't have intersecting possible CPUs
are mapped to pwqs covering whole @attrs->cpumask.
As CPUs come up and go down, the pool association is changed
accordingly. Changing pool association may involve allocating new
pools which may fail. To avoid failing CPU_DOWN, each workqueue
always keeps a default pwq which covers whole attrs->cpumask which is
used as fallback if pool creation fails during a CPU hotplug
operation.
This ensures that all work items issued on a NUMA node is executed on
the same node as long as the workqueue allows execution on the CPUs of
the node.
As this maps a workqueue to multiple pwqs and max_active is per-pwq,
this change the behavior of max_active. The limit is now per NUMA
node instead of global. While this is an actual change, max_active is
already per-cpu for per-cpu workqueues and primarily used as safety
mechanism rather than for active concurrency control. Concurrency is
usually limited from workqueue users by the number of concurrently
active work items and this change shouldn't matter much.
v2: Fixed pwq freeing in apply_workqueue_attrs() error path. Spotted
by Lai.
v3: The previous version incorrectly made a workqueue spanning
multiple nodes spread work items over all online CPUs when some of
its nodes don't have any desired cpus. Reimplemented so that NUMA
affinity is properly updated as CPUs go up and down. This problem
was spotted by Lai Jiangshan.
v4: destroy_workqueue() was putting wq->dfl_pwq and then clearing it;
however, wq may be freed at any time after dfl_pwq is put making
the clearing use-after-free. Clear wq->dfl_pwq before putting it.
v5: apply_workqueue_attrs() was leaking @tmp_attrs, @new_attrs and
@pwq_tbl after success. Fixed.
Retry loop in wq_update_unbound_numa_attrs() isn't necessary as
application of new attrs is excluded via CPU hotplug. Removed.
Documentation on CPU affinity guarantee on CPU_DOWN added.

Move wq->flags and ->cpu_pwqs to the end of workqueue_struct and align

issue path and thus hot. The scheduled NUMA affinity support will add
dispatch table at the end of workqueue_struct and relocating these two
fields will allow us hitting only single cacheline on hot paths.
Note that wq->pwqs isn't moved although it currently is being used in

When worker tasks are created using kthread_create_on_node(),

All unbound workers are always created with NUMA_NO_NODE.
Now that an unbound worker pool may have an arbitrary cpumask
associated with it, this isn't optimal. Add pool->node which is
determined by the pool's cpumask. If the pool's cpumask is contained
inside a NUMA node proper, the pool is associated with that node, and
all workers of the pool are created on that node.

As workers for unbound pools use pool->id, the 'H' postfix is purely

delimiters, there are only five characters left for the pool and
worker IDs. We're expecting to have more unbound pools with the

Fix it by adding POOL_FREEZING if workqueue_freezing. wq_mutex is

With the recent addition of the custom attributes support, unbound
pools may have allowed cpumask which isn't full. As long as some of
CPUs in the cpumask are online, its workers will maintain cpus_allowed
as set on worker creation; however, once no online CPU is left in
cpus_allowed, the scheduler will reset cpus_allowed of any workers
which get scheduled so that they can execute.
To remain compliant to the user-specified configuration, CPU affinity
needs to be restored when a CPU becomes online for an unbound pool
which doesn't currently have any online CPUs before.
This patch implement restore_unbound_workers_cpumask(), which is
called from CPU_ONLINE for all unbound pools, checks whether the
coming up CPU is the first allowed online one, and, if so, invokes
set_cpus_allowed_ptr() with the configured cpumask on all workers.

Rebinding workers of a per-cpu pool after a CPU comes online involves
a lot of back-and-forth mostly because only the task itself could
adjust CPU affinity if PF_THREAD_BOUND was set.
As CPU_ONLINE itself couldn't adjust affinity, it had to somehow
coerce the workers themselves to perform set_cpus_allowed_ptr(). Due
to the various states a worker can be in, this led to three different
paths a worker may be rebound. worker->rebind_work is queued to busy
workers. Idle ones are signaled by unlinking worker->entry and call
idle_worker_rebind(). The manager isn't covered by either and
implements its own mechanism.
PF_THREAD_BOUND has been relaced with PF_NO_SETAFFINITY and CPU_ONLINE
itself now can manipulate CPU affinity of workers. This patch
replaces the existing rebind mechanism with direct one where
CPU_ONLINE iterates over all workers using for_each_pool_worker(),
restores CPU affinity, and clears WORKER_UNBOUND.
There are a couple subtleties. All bound idle workers should have
their runqueues set to that of the bound CPU; however, if the target
task isn't running, set_cpus_allowed_ptr() just updates the
cpus_allowed mask deferring the actual migration to when the task
wakes up. This is worked around by waking up idle workers after
restoring CPU affinity before any workers can become bound.
Another subtlety is stems from matching @pool->nr_running with the
number of running unbound workers. While DISASSOCIATED, all workers
are unbound and nr_running is zero. As workers become bound again,
nr_running needs to be adjusted accordingly; however, there is no good
way to tell whether a given worker is running without poking into
scheduler internals. Instead of clearing UNBOUND directly,
rebind_workers() replaces UNBOUND with another new NOT_RUNNING flag -
REBOUND, which will later be cleared by the workers themselves while
preparing for the next round of work item execution. The only change
needed for the workers is clearing REBOUND along with PREP.

* idle_worker_rebind(), busy_worker_rebind_fn(), worker->rebind_work

PF_THREAD_BOUND was originally used to mark kernel threads which were
bound to a specific CPU using kthread_bind() and a task with the flag
set allows cpus_allowed modifications only to itself. Workqueue is
currently abusing it to prevent userland from meddling with
cpus_allowed of workqueue workers.
What we need is a flag to prevent userland from messing with
cpus_allowed of certain kernel tasks. In kernel, anyone can
(incorrectly) squash the flag, and, for worker-type usages,
restricting cpus_allowed modification to the task itself doesn't
provide meaningful extra proection as other tasks can inject work
items to the task anyway.
This patch replaces PF_THREAD_BOUND with PF_NO_SETAFFINITY.
sched_setaffinity() checks the flag and return -EINVAL if set.

Currently, workqueue_lock protects most shared workqueue resources -
the pools, workqueues, pool_workqueues, draining, ID assignments,

there is no identified bottleneck coming from workqueue_lock, but it
has grown a bit too much and scheduled rebinding changes need the
pools and workqueues to be protected by a mutex instead of a spinlock.

* pool->refcnt

with wq_mutex where applicable and workqueue_lock lock/unlocks are
added where wq_mutex conversion leaves data structures not protected
by wq_mutex without locking. irq / preemption flippings were added

When a manager creates or destroys workers, the operations are always
done with the manager_mutex held; however, initial worker creation or
worker destruction during pool release don't grab the mutex. They are
still correct as initial worker creation doesn't require
synchronization and grabbing manager_arb provides enough exclusion for
pool release path.
Still, let's make everyone follow the same rules for consistency and
such that lockdep annotations can be added.

Manager operations are currently governed by two mutexes -
pool->manager_arb and ->assoc_mutex. The former is used to decide who
gets to be the manager and the latter to exclude the actual manager
operations including creation and destruction of workers. Anyone who
grabs ->manager_arb must perform manager role; otherwise, the pool
might stall.
Grabbing ->assoc_mutex blocks everyone else from performing manager
operations but doesn't require the holder to perform manager duties as
it's merely blocking manager operations without becoming the manager.
Because the blocking was necessary when [dis]associating per-cpu
workqueues during CPU hotplug events, the latter was named
assoc_mutex. The mutex is scheduled to be used for other purposes, so
this patch gives it a more fitting generic name - manager_mutex - and
updates / adds comments to explain synchronization around the manager
role and operations.

There are cases where workqueue users want to expose control knobs to

priority or allowed CPUs.
This patch implements workqueue_sysfs_register(), which makes the
workqueue visible under /sys/bus/workqueue/devices/WQ_NAME. There
currently are two attributes common to both per-cpu and unbound pools
and extra attributes for unbound pools including nice level and
cpumask.
If alloc_workqueue*() is called with WQ_SYSFS,
workqueue_sysfs_register() is called automatically as part of
workqueue creation. This is the preferred method unless the workqueue
user wants to apply workqueue_attrs before making the workqueue
visible to userland.

Adjusting max_active of or applying new workqueue_attrs to an ordered

Implement apply_workqueue_attrs() which applies workqueue_attrs to the
specified unbound workqueue by creating a new pwq (pool_workqueue)
linked to worker_pool with the specified attributes.
A new pwq is linked at the head of wq->pwqs instead of tail and
__queue_work() verifies that the first unbound pwq has positive refcnt
before choosing it for the actual queueing. This is to cover the case
where creation of a new pwq races with queueing. As base ref on a pwq
won't be dropped without making another pwq the first one,
__queue_work() is guaranteed to make progress and not add work item to
a dead pwq.
init_and_link_pwq() is updated to return the last first pwq the new
pwq replaced, which is put by apply_workqueue_attrs().
Note that apply_workqueue_attrs() is almost identical to unbound pwq
part of alloc_and_link_pwqs(). The only difference is that there is
no previous first pwq. apply_workqueue_attrs() is implemented to
handle such cases and replaces unbound pwq handling in

Because per-cpu workqueues have multiple pwqs (pool_workqueues) to
serve the CPUs, to guarantee that a single work item isn't queued on
one pwq while still executing another, __queue_work() takes a look at
the previous pool the target work item was on and if it's still
executing there, queue the work item on that pool.
To support changing workqueue_attrs on the fly, unbound workqueues too
will have multiple pwqs and thus need non-reentrancy test when
queueing. This patch modifies __queue_work() such that the reentrancy
test is performed regardless of the workqueue type.

Add pool_workqueue->refcnt along with get/put_pwq(). Both per-cpu and

For per-cpu pwqs the base ref is never dropped and destroy_workqueue()
frees the pwqs as before. For unbound ones, destroy_workqueue()
simply drops the base ref on the first pwq. When the refcnt reaches
zero, pwq_unbound_release_workfn() is scheduled on system_wq, which
unlinks the pwq, puts the associated pool and frees the pwq and wq as
necessary. This needs to be done from a work item as put_pwq() needs
to be protected by pool->lock but release can't happen with the lock
held - e.g. put_unbound_pool() involves blocking operations.
Unbound pool->locks are marked with lockdep subclas 1 as put_pwq()

Similar to how pool_workqueue iteration used to be, raising and

cpumask_t may not be able to handle WORK_CPU_UNBOUND and cpumasks are
assumed to be always set on UP. This is ugly and can't handle
multiple unbound pools to be added for unbound workqueues w/ custom

The three freeze/thaw related functions - freeze_workqueues_begin(),
freeze_workqueues_busy() and thaw_workqueues() - need to iterate
through all pool_workqueues of all freezable workqueues. They did it
by first iterating pools and then visiting all pwqs (pool_workqueues)
of all workqueues and process it if its pwq->pool matches the current
pool. This is rather backwards and done this way partly because
workqueue didn't have fitting iteration helpers and partly to avoid
the number of lock operations on pool->lock.
Workqueue now has fitting iterators and the locking operation overhead
isn't anything to worry about - those locks are unlikely to be
contended and the same CPU visiting the same set of locks multiple
times isn't expensive.
Restructure the three functions such that the flow better matches the
logical steps and pwq iteration is done using for_each_pwq() inside
workqueue iteration.
* freeze_workqueues_begin(): Setting of FREEZING is moved into a
separate for_each_pool() iteration. pwq iteration for clearing
max_active is updated as described above.
* freeze_workqueues_busy(): pwq iteration updated as described above.
* thaw_workqueues(): The single for_each_wq_cpu() iteration is broken
into three discrete steps - clearing FREEZING, restoring max_active,
and kicking workers. The first and last steps use for_each_pool()
and the second step uses pwq iteration described above.
This makes the code easier to understand and removes the use of
for_each_wq_cpu() for walking pwqs, which can't support multiple
unbound pwqs which will be needed to implement unbound workqueues with
custom attributes.

pool_workqueues need to be aligned to 1 << WORK_STRUCT_FLAG_BITS as

Due to historical reasons, unbound pool_workqueues are allocated using
kzalloc() with sufficient buffer area for alignment and aligned

Since multiple pools per cpu have been introduced, wq_unbind_fn() has
a subtle bug which may theoretically stall work item processing. The
problem is two-fold.
* wq_unbind_fn() depends on the worker executing wq_unbind_fn() itself
to start unbound chain execution, which works fine when there was
only single pool. With multiple pools, only the pool which is
running wq_unbind_fn() - the highpri one - is guaranteed to have
such kick-off. The other pool could stall when its busy workers
block.
* The current code is setting WORKER_UNBIND / POOL_DISASSOCIATED of
the two pools in succession without initiating work execution
inbetween. Because setting the flags requires grabbing assoc_mutex
which is held while new workers are created, this could lead to
stalls if a pool's manager is waiting for the previous pool's work
items to release memory. This is almost purely theoretical tho.
Update wq_unbind_fn() such that it sets WORKER_UNBIND /
POOL_DISASSOCIATED, goes over schedule() and explicitly kicks off
execution for a pool and then moves on to the next one.

I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived
list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member)
The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter:
hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member)
Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only
they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking
exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate.
Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required:
- Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h
- Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones.
- A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this
was modified to use 'obj->member' instead.

Currently, determining whether a work item is queued on a locked pool
involves somewhat convoluted memory barrier dancing. It goes like the
following.
* When a work item is queued on a pool, work->data is updated before
work->entry is linked to the pending list with a wmb() inbetween.
* When trying to determine whether a work item is currently queued on
a pool pointed to by work->data, it locks the pool and looks at
work->entry. If work->entry is linked, we then do rmb() and then
check whether work->data points to the current pool.
This works because, work->data can only point to a pool if it
currently is or were on the pool and,
* If it currently is on the pool, the tests would obviously succeed.
* It it left the pool, its work->entry was cleared under pool->lock,
so if we're seeing non-empty work->entry, it has to be from the work
item being linked on another pool. Because work->data is updated
before work->entry is linked with wmb() inbetween, work->data update
from another pool is guaranteed to be visible if we do rmb() after
seeing non-empty work->entry. So, we either see empty work->entry
or we see updated work->data pointin to another pool.
While this works, it's convoluted, to put it mildly. With recent
updates, it's now guaranteed that work->data points to cwq only while
the work item is queued and that updating work->data to point to cwq
or back to pool is done under pool->lock, so we can simply test
whether work->data points to cwq which is associated with the
currently locked pool instead of the convoluted memory barrier
dancing.
This patch replaces the memory barrier based "are you still here,
really?" test with much simpler "does work->data points to me?" test -
if work->data points to a cwq which is associated with the currently
locked pool, the work item is guaranteed to be queued on the pool as
work->data can start and stop pointing to such cwq only under
pool->lock and the start and stop coincide with queue and dequeue.

With delayed_work updated not to overload work->data for target
workqueue recording, the only case where we still have off-queue

reason for try_to_grab_pending() to not update work->data to point to

To avoid executing the same work item from multiple CPUs concurrently,
a work_struct records the last pool it was on in its ->data so that,
on the next queueing, the pool can be queried to determine whether the
work item is still executing or not.
A delayed_work goes through timer before actually being queued on the
target workqueue and the timer needs to know the target workqueue and
CPU. This is currently achieved by modifying delayed_work->work.data
such that it points to the cwq which points to the target workqueue
and the last CPU the work item was on. __queue_delayed_work()
extracts the last CPU from delayed_work->work.data and then combines
it with the target workqueue to create new work.data.
The only thing this rather ugly hack achieves is encoding the target
workqueue into delayed_work->work.data without using a separate field,
which could be a trade off one can make; unfortunately, this entangles
work->data management between regular workqueue and delayed_work code
by setting cwq pointer before the work item is actually queued and
becomes a hindrance for further improvements of work->data handling.
This can be easily made sane by adding a target workqueue field to
delayed_work. While delayed_work is used widely in the kernel and
this does make it a bit larger (<5%), I think this is the right
trade-off especially given the prospect of much saner handling of
work->data which currently involves quite tricky memory barrier
dancing, and don't expect to see any measureable effect.

PF_WQ_WORKER is used to tell scheduler that the task is a workqueue
worker and needs wq_worker_sleeping/waking_up() invoked on it for
concurrency management. As rescuers never participate in concurrency
management, PF_WQ_WORKER wasn't set on them.
There's a need for an interface which can query whether %current is
executing a work item and if so which. Such interface requires a way
to identify all tasks which may execute work items and PF_WQ_WORKER
will be used for that. As all normal workers always have PF_WQ_WORKER
set, we only need to add it to rescuers.
As rescuers start with WORKER_PREP but never clear it, it's always
NOT_RUNNING and there's no need to worry about it interfering with
concurrency management even if PF_WQ_WORKER is set; however, unlike
normal workers, rescuers currently don't have its worker struct as
kthread_data(). It uses the associated workqueue_struct instead.
This is problematic as wq_worker_sleeping/waking_up() expect struct
worker at kthread_data().
This patch adds worker->rescue_wq and start rescuer kthreads with
worker struct as kthread_data and sets PF_WQ_WORKER on rescuers.

To avoid executing the same work item concurrenlty, workqueue hashes
currently busy workers according to their current work items and looks
up the the table when it wants to execute a new work item. If there
already is a worker which is executing the new work item, the new item
is queued to the found worker so that it gets executed only after the
current execution finishes.
Unfortunately, a work item may be freed while being executed and thus
recycled for different purposes. If it gets recycled for a different
work item and queued while the previous execution is still in
progress, workqueue may make the new work item wait for the old one
although the two aren't really related in any way.
In extreme cases, this false dependency may lead to deadlock although
it's extremely unlikely given that there aren't too many self-freeing
work item users and they usually don't wait for other work items.
To alleviate the problem, record the current work function in each
busy worker and match it together with the work item address in
find_worker_executing_work(). While this isn't complete, it ensures
that unrelated work items don't interact with each other and in the
very unlikely case where a twisted wq user triggers it, it's always
onto itself making the culprit easy to spot.

workqueue: add WARN_ON_ONCE() on CPU number to wq_worker_waking_up()
workqueue: trivial fix for return statement in work_busy()
8852aac25e ("workqueue: mod_delayed_work_on() shouldn't queue timer on
0 delay") unexpectedly uncovered a very nasty abuse of delayed_work in
megaraid - it allocated work_struct, casted it to delayed_work and
then pass that into queue_delayed_work().
Previously, this was okay because 0 @delay short-circuited to
queue_work() before doing anything with delayed_work. 8852aac25e
moved 0 @delay test into __queue_delayed_work() after sanity check on
delayed_work making megaraid trigger BUG_ON().
Although megaraid is already fixed by c1d390d8e6 ("megaraid: fix

BUG_ON()s in __queue_delayed_work() to WARN_ON_ONCE()s so that such

8376fe22c7 ("workqueue: implement mod_delayed_work[_on]()")
implemented mod_delayed_work[_on]() using the improved
try_to_grab_pending(). The function is later used, among others, to
replace [__]candel_delayed_work() + queue_delayed_work() combinations.
Unfortunately, a delayed_work item w/ zero @delay is handled slightly
differently by mod_delayed_work_on() compared to
queue_delayed_work_on(). The latter skips timer altogether and
directly queues it using queue_work_on() while the former schedules
timer which will expire on the closest tick. This means, when @delay
is zero, that [__]cancel_delayed_work() + queue_delayed_work_on()
makes the target item immediately executable while
mod_delayed_work_on() may induce delay of upto a full tick.
This somewhat subtle difference breaks some of the converted users.
e.g. block queue plugging uses delayed_work for deferred processing
and uses mod_delayed_work_on() when the queue needs to be immediately
unplugged. The above problem manifested as noticeably higher number
of context switches under certain circumstances.
The difference in behavior was caused by missing special case handling
for 0 delay in mod_delayed_work_on() compared to
queue_delayed_work_on(). Joonsoo Kim posted a patch to add it -
("workqueue: optimize mod_delayed_work_on() when @delay == 0")[1].
The patch was queued for 3.8 but it was described as optimization and
I missed that it was a correctness issue.
As both queue_delayed_work_on() and mod_delayed_work_on() use
__queue_delayed_work() for queueing, it seems that the better approach
is to move the 0 delay special handling to the function instead of
duplicating it in mod_delayed_work_on().
Fix the problem by moving 0 delay special case handling from
queue_delayed_work_on() to __queue_delayed_work(). This replaces
Joonsoo's patch.

Pull workqueue changes from Tejun Heo:
"This is workqueue updates for v3.7-rc1. A lot of activities this
round including considerable API and behavior cleanups.
* delayed_work combines a timer and a work item. The handling of the
timer part has always been a bit clunky leading to confusing
cancelation API with weird corner-case behaviors. delayed_work is
updated to use new IRQ safe timer and cancelation now works as
expected.
* Another deficiency of delayed_work was lack of the counterpart of
mod_timer() which led to cancel+queue combinations or open-coded
timer+work usages. mod_delayed_work[_on]() are added.
These two delayed_work changes make delayed_work provide interface
and behave like timer which is executed with process context.
* A work item could be executed concurrently on multiple CPUs, which
is rather unintuitive and made flush_work() behavior confusing and
half-broken under certain circumstances. This problem doesn't
exist for non-reentrant workqueues. While non-reentrancy check
isn't free, the overhead is incurred only when a work item bounces
across different CPUs and even in simulated pathological scenario
the overhead isn't too high.
All workqueues are made non-reentrant. This removes the
distinction between flush_[delayed_]work() and
flush_[delayed_]_work_sync(). The former is now as strong as the
latter and the specified work item is guaranteed to have finished
execution of any previous queueing on return.
* In addition to the various bug fixes, Lai redid and simplified CPU
hotplug handling significantly.
* Joonsoo introduced system_highpri_wq and used it during CPU
hotplug.
There are two merge commits - one to pull in IRQ safe timer from
tip/timers/core and the other to pull in CPU hotplug fixes from
wq/for-3.6-fixes as Lai's hotplug restructuring depended on them."
Fixed a number of trivial conflicts, but the more interesting conflicts

workqueue_set_max_active() may increase ->max_active without
activating delayed works and may make the activation order differ from
the queueing order. Both aren't strictly bugs but the resulting
behavior could be a bit odd.
To make things more consistent, use cwq_set_max_active() helper which
immediately makes use of the newly increased max_mactive if there are
delayed work items and also keeps the activation order.

The existing work_on_cpu() implementation is hugely inefficient. It
creates a new kthread, execute that single function and then let the
kthread die on each invocation.
Now that system_wq can handle concurrent executions, there's no
advantage of doing this. Reimplement work_on_cpu() using system_wq
which makes it simpler and way more efficient.

Currently, when try_to_grab_pending() grabs a delayed work item, it
leaves its linked work items alone on the delayed_works. The linked
work items are always NO_COLOR and will cause future
cwq_activate_first_delayed() increase cwq->nr_active incorrectly, and
may cause the whole cwq to stall. For example,
state: cwq->max_active = 1, cwq->nr_active = 1
one work in cwq->pool, many in cwq->delayed_works.
step1: try_to_grab_pending() removes a work item from delayed_works
but leaves its NO_COLOR linked work items on it.
step2: Later on, cwq_activate_first_delayed() activates the linked
work item increasing ->nr_active.
step3: cwq->nr_active = 1, but all activated work items of the cwq are
NO_COLOR. When they finish, cwq->nr_active will not be
decreased due to NO_COLOR, and no further work items will be
activated from cwq->delayed_works. the cwq stalls.
Fix it by ensuring the target work item is activated before stealing
PENDING in try_to_grab_pending(). This ensures that all the linked
work items are activated without incorrectly bumping cwq->nr_active.

workqueue_cpu_down_callback() is used only if HOTPLUG_CPU=y, so
hotcpu_notifier() fits better than cpu_notifier().
When HOTPLUG_CPU=y, hotcpu_notifier() and cpu_notifier() are the same.
When HOTPLUG_CPU=n, if we use cpu_notifier(),
workqueue_cpu_down_callback() will be called during boot to do
nothing, and the memory of workqueue_cpu_down_callback() and
gcwq_unbind_fn() will be discarded after boot.
If we use hotcpu_notifier(), we can avoid the no-op call of
workqueue_cpu_down_callback() and the memory of
workqueue_cpu_down_callback() and gcwq_unbind_fn() will be discard at
build time:

For workqueue hotplug callbacks, it makes less sense to use __devinit
which discards the memory after boot if !HOTPLUG. __cpuinit, which
discards the memory after boot if !HOTPLUG_CPU fits better.

Now that manager_mutex's role has changed from synchronizing manager
role to excluding hotplug against manager, the name is misleading.
As it is protecting the CPU-association of the gcwq now, rename it to
assoc_mutex.
This patch is pure rename and doesn't introduce any functional change.

Now both worker destruction and idle rebinding remove the worker from
idle list while it's still idle, so list_empty(&worker->entry) can be
used to test whether either is pending and WORKER_DIE to distinguish
between the two instead making WORKER_REBIND unnecessary.
Use list_empty(&worker->entry) to determine whether destruction or
rebinding is pending. This simplifies worker state transitions.
WORKER_REBIND is not needed anymore. Remove it.

Because the old unbind/rebinding implementation wasn't atomic w.r.t.
GCWQ_DISASSOCIATED manipulation which is protected by
global_cwq->lock, we had to use two flags, WORKER_UNBOUND and
WORKER_REBIND, to avoid incorrectly losing all NOT_RUNNING bits with
back-to-back CPU hotplug operations; otherwise, completion of
rebinding while another unbinding is in progress could clear UNBIND
prematurely.
Now that both unbind/rebinding are atomic w.r.t. GCWQ_DISASSOCIATED,
there's no need to use two flags. Just one is enough. Don't use
WORKER_REBIND for busy rebinding.

Currently rebind_workers() uses rebinds idle workers synchronously
before proceeding to requesting busy workers to rebind. This is
necessary because all workers on @worker_pool->idle_list must be bound
before concurrency management local wake-ups from the busy workers
take place.
Unfortunately, the synchronous idle rebinding is quite complicated.
This patch reimplements idle rebinding to simplify the code path.
Rather than trying to make all idle workers bound before rebinding
busy workers, we simply remove all to-be-bound idle workers from the
idle list and let them add themselves back after completing rebinding
(successful or not).
As only workers which finished rebinding can on on the idle worker
list, the idle worker list is guaranteed to have only bound workers
unless CPU went down again and local wake-ups are safe.
After the change, @worker_pool->nr_idle may deviate than the actual
number of idle workers on @worker_pool->idle_list. More specifically,
nr_idle may be non-zero while ->idle_list is empty. All users of
->nr_idle and ->idle_list are audited. The only affected one is
too_many_workers() which is updated to check %false if ->idle_list is
empty regardless of ->nr_idle.
After this patch, rebind_workers() no longer performs the nasty
idle-rebind retries which require temporary release of gcwq->lock, and
both unbinding and rebinding are atomic w.r.t. global_cwq->lock.
worker->idle_rebind and global_cwq->rebind_hold are now unnecessary
and removed along with the definition of struct idle_rebind.
Changed from V1:
1) remove unlikely from too_many_workers(), ->idle_list can be empty
anytime, even before this patch, no reason to use unlikely.
2) fix a small rebasing mistake.
(which is from rebasing the orignal fixing patch to for-next)
3) add a lot of comments.
4) clear WORKER_REBIND unconditionaly in idle_worker_rebind()

This merge is necessary as Lai's CPU hotplug restructuring series
depends on the CPU hotplug bug fixes in for-3.6-fixes.
The merge creates one trivial conflict between the following two
commits.
96e65306b8 "workqueue: UNBOUND -> REBIND morphing in rebind_workers() should be atomic"
e2b6a6d570 "workqueue: use system_highpri_wq for highpri workers in rebind_workers()"
Both add local variable definitions to the same block and can be

To simplify both normal and CPU hotplug paths, worker management is
prevented while CPU hoplug is in progress. This is achieved by CPU
hotplug holding the same exclusion mechanism used by workers to ensure
there's only one manager per pool.
If someone else seems to be performing the manager role, workers
proceed to execute work items. CPU hotplug using the same mechanism
can lead to idle worker depletion because all workers could proceed to
execute work items while CPU hotplug is in progress and CPU hotplug
itself wouldn't actually perform the worker management duty - it
doesn't guarantee that there's an idle worker left when it releases
management.
This idle worker depletion, under extreme circumstances, can break
forward-progress guarantee and thus lead to deadlock.
This patch fixes the bug by using separate mechanisms for manager
exclusion among workers and hotplug exclusion. For manager exclusion,
POOL_MANAGING_WORKERS which was restored by the previous patch is
used. pool->manager_mutex is now only used for exclusion between the
elected manager and CPU hotplug. The elected manager won't proceed
without holding pool->manager_mutex.
This ensures that the worker which won the manager position can't skip
managing while CPU hotplug is in progress. It will block on
manager_mutex and perform management after CPU hotplug is complete.
Note that hotplug may happen while waiting for manager_mutex. A
manager isn't either on idle or busy list and thus the hoplug code
can't unbind/rebind it. Make the manager handle its own un/rebinding.

This patch restores POOL_MANAGING_WORKERS which was replaced by
pool->manager_mutex by 6037315269 "workqueue: use mutex for global_cwq
manager exclusion".
There's a subtle idle worker depletion bug across CPU hotplug events
and we need to distinguish an actual manager and CPU hotplug
preventing management. POOL_MANAGING_WORKERS will be used for the
former and manager_mutex the later.
This patch just lays POOL_MANAGING_WORKERS on top of the existing
manager_mutex and doesn't introduce any synchronization changes. The
next patch will update it.
Note that this patch fixes a non-critical anomaly where
too_many_workers() may return %true spuriously while CPU hotplug is in
progress. While the issue could schedule idle timer spuriously, it
didn't trigger any actual misbehavior.
