Currently, an unbound workqueue has only one "current" pool_workqueue
associated with it. It may have multple pool_workqueues but only the
first pool_workqueue servies new work items. For NUMA affinity, we
want to change this so that there are multiple current pool_workqueues
serving different NUMA nodes.
Introduce workqueue->numa_pwq_tbl[] which is indexed by NUMA node and
points to the pool_workqueue to use for each possible node. This
replaces first_pwq() in __queue_work() and workqueue_congested().
numa_pwq_tbl[] is currently initialized to point to the same
pool_workqueue as first_pwq() so this patch doesn't make any behavior
changes.

Move wq->flags and ->cpu_pwqs to the end of workqueue_struct and align
them to the cacheline. These two fields are used in the work item
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(),
currently only per-cpu ones have the matching NUMA node specified.
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.

cpumask contained inside single NUMA node, but this will serve as

as they use the CPU number instead of pool->id to identify the pool

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

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.
* This patch leaves for_each_busy_worker() without any user. Removed.
* idle_worker_rebind(), busy_worker_rebind_fn(), worker->rebind_work
and rebind logic in manager_workers() removed.

PF_THREAD_BOUND was originally used to mark kernel threads which were

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.

Manager operations are currently governed by two mutexes -

operations including creation and destruction of workers. Anyone who
grabs ->manager_arb must perform manager role; otherwise, the pool

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

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

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
alloc_and_link_pwqs().

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.
per_cpu_ptr(wq->cpu_pwqs, cpu) used to be used to determine the
matching pwq for the last pool. This can't be used for unbound
workqueues and is replaced with worker->current_pwq which also happens
to be simpler.
