include/: refactor headers to allow kthread.h inclusion in psi_types.h

2019-05-15T02:52:48Z

kthread.h can't be included in psi_types.h because it creates a circular inclusion with kthread.h eventually including psi_types.h and complaining on kthread structures not being defined because they are defined further in the kthread.h. Resolve this by removing psi_types.h inclusion from the headers included from kthread.h.

kthread: Do not use TIMER_IRQSAFE

2019-02-28T10:18:38Z

The TIMER_IRQSAFE usage was introduced in commit 22597dc3d97b1 ("kthread: initial support for delayed kthread work") which modelled the delayed kthread code after workqueue's code. The workqueue code requires the flag TIMER_IRQSAFE for synchronisation purpose. This is not true for kthread's delay timer since all operations occur under a lock. Remove TIMER_IRQSAFE from the timer initialisation and use timer_setup() for initialisation purpose which is the official function.

kthread: Convert worker lock to raw spinlock

2019-02-28T10:18:38Z

In order to enable the queuing of kthread work items from hardirq context even when PREEMPT_RT_FULL is enabled, convert the worker spin_lock to a raw_spin_lock. This is only acceptable to do because the work performed under the lock is well-bounded and minimal.

kthread: Add __kthread_should_park()

2019-02-10T20:51:39Z

kthread_should_park() is used to check if the calling kthread ('current') should park, but there is no function to check whether an arbitrary kthread should be parked. The latter is required to plug a CPU hotplug race vs. a parking ksoftirqd thread. The new __kthread_should_park() receives a task_struct as parameter to check if the corresponding kernel thread should be parked. Call __kthread_should_park() from kthread_should_park() to avoid code duplication. Signed-off-by: Matthias Kaehlcke Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Steven Rostedt Cc: "Paul E .

kthread, sched/core: Fix kthread_parkme() (again...)

2018-07-03T07:17:30Z

Gaurav reports that commit: 85f1abe0019f ("kthread, sched/wait: Fix kthread_parkme() completion issue") isn't working for him. Because of the following race: > controller Thread CPUHP Thread > takedown_cpu > kthread_park > kthread_parkme > Set KTHREAD_SHOULD_PARK > smpboot_thread_fn > set Task interruptible > > > wake_up_process > if (!(p->state & state)) > goto out; > > Kthread_parkme > SET TASK_PARKED > schedule > raw_spin_lock(&rq->lock) > ttwu_remote > waiting for __task_rq_lock > context_switch > > finish_lock_switch > > > > Case TASK_PARKED > kthread_park_complete > > > SET Running Furthermore, Oleg noticed that the whole scheduler TASK_PARKED handling is buggered because the TASK_DEAD thing is done with preemption disabled, the current code can still complete early on preemption :/ So basically revert that earlier fix and go with a variant of the alternative mentioned in the commit. Promote TASK_PARKED to special state to avoid the store-store issue on task->state leading to the WARN in kthread_unpark() -> __kthread_bind(). But in addition, add wait_task_inactive() to kthread_park() to ensure the task really is PARKED when we return from kthread_park(). This avoids the whole kthread still gets migrated nonsense -- although it would be really good to get this done differently.

kthread, sched/wait: Fix kthread_parkme() completion issue

2018-05-03T05:38:05Z

Even with the wait-loop fixed, there is a further issue with kthread_parkme(). Upon hotplug, when we do takedown_cpu(), smpboot_park_threads() can return before all those threads are in fact blocked, due to the placement of the complete() in __kthread_parkme(). When that happens, sched_cpu_dying() -> migrate_tasks() can end up migrating such a still runnable task onto another CPU. Normally the task will have hit schedule() and gone to sleep by the time we do kthread_unpark(), which will then do __kthread_bind() to re-bind the task to the correct CPU. However, when we loose the initial TASK_PARKED store to the concurrent wakeup issue described previously, do the complete(), get migrated, it is possible to either: - observe kthread_unpark()'s clearing of SHOULD_PARK and terminate the park and set TASK_RUNNING, or - __kthread_bind()'s wait_task_inactive() to observe the competing TASK_RUNNING store. Either way the WARN() in __kthread_bind() will trigger and fail to correctly set the CPU affinity. Fix this by only issuing the complete() when the kthread has scheduled out. This does away with all the icky 'still running' nonsense. The alternative is to promote TASK_PARKED to a special state, this guarantees wait_task_inactive() cannot observe a 'stale' TASK_RUNNING and we'll end up doing the right thing, but this preserves the whole icky business of potentially migating the still runnable thing.

treewide: Remove TIMER_FUNC_TYPE and TIMER_DATA_TYPE casts

2017-11-22T00:35:54Z

With all callbacks converted, and the timer callback prototype switched over, the TIMER_FUNC_TYPE cast is no longer needed, so remove it. Conversion was done with the following scripts: perl -pi -e 's|$TIMER_FUNC_TYPE$||g' \ $(git grep TIMER_FUNC_TYPE | cut -d: -f1 | sort -u) perl -pi -e 's|$TIMER_DATA_TYPE$||g' \ $(git grep TIMER_DATA_TYPE | cut -d: -f1 | sort -u) The now unused macros are also dropped from include/linux/timer.h.
