locking/percpu-rwsem: Remove preempt_disable variants

2019-02-28T06:55:37Z

Effective revert commit: 87709e28dc7c ("fs/locks: Use percpu_down_read_preempt_disable()") This is causing major pain for PREEMPT_RT. Sebastian did a lot of lockperf runs on 2 and 4 node machines with all preemption modes (PREEMPT=n should be an obvious NOP for this patch and thus serves as a good control) and no results showed significance over 2-sigma (the PREEMPT=n results were almost empty at 1-sigma).

percpu-rwsem: Replace synchronize_sched() with synchronize_rcu()

2018-12-01T20:38:48Z

Now that synchronize_rcu() waits for preempt-disable regions of code as well as RCU read-side critical sections, synchronize_sched() can be replaced by synchronize_rcu(). This commit therefore makes this change, even though it is but a comment. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney Cc: Dennis Zhou Cc: Christoph Lameter Acked-by: Tejun Heo

locking/percpu-rwsem: Annotate rwsem ownership transfer by setting RWSEM_OWNER_UNKNOWN

2018-05-16T09:45:16Z

The filesystem freezing code needs to transfer ownership of a rwsem embedded in a percpu-rwsem from the task that does the freezing to another one that does the thawing by calling percpu_rwsem_release() after freezing and percpu_rwsem_acquire() before thawing. However, the new rwsem debug code runs afoul with this scheme by warning that the task that releases the rwsem isn't the one that acquires it, as reported by Amir Goldstein: DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(sem->owner != get_current()) WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 1401 at /home/amir/build/src/linux/kernel/locking/rwsem.c:133 up_write+0x59/0x79 Call Trace: percpu_up_write+0x1f/0x28 thaw_super_locked+0xdf/0x120 do_vfs_ioctl+0x270/0x5f1 ksys_ioctl+0x52/0x71 __x64_sys_ioctl+0x16/0x19 do_syscall_64+0x5d/0x167 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x49/0xbe To work properly with the rwsem debug code, we need to annotate that the rwsem ownership is unknown during the tranfer period until a brave soul comes forward to acquire the ownership. During that period, optimistic spinning will be disabled.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

2017-11-02T10:10:55Z

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches. Reviewed-by: Kate Stewart Reviewed-by: Philippe Ombredanne Reviewed-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

locking/percpu-rwsem: Replace waitqueue with rcuwait

2017-01-14T10:14:35Z

The use of any kind of wait queue is an overkill for pcpu-rwsems. While one option would be to use the less heavy simple (swait) flavor, this is still too much for what pcpu-rwsems needs. For one, we do not care about any sort of queuing in that the only (rare) time writers (and readers, for that matter) are queued is when trying to acquire the regular contended rw_sem. There cannot be any further queuing as writers are serialized by the rw_sem in the first place. Given that percpu_down_write() must not be called after exit_notify(), we can replace the bulky waitqueue with rcuwait such that a writer can wait for its turn to take the lock. As such, we can avoid the queue handling and locking overhead.

locking/percpu-rwsem: Add down_read_preempt_disable()

2016-09-22T13:25:54Z

Provide a down_read()/up_read() variant that keeps preemption disabled over the whole thing, when possible. This avoids a needless preemption point for constructs such as: percpu_down_read(&global_rwsem); spin_lock(&lock); ... spin_unlock(&lock); percpu_up_read(&global_rwsem); Which perturbs timings. In particular it was found to cure a performance regression in a follow up patch in fs/locks.c Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) Cc: Linus Torvalds Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Thomas Gleixner Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

locking/percpu-rwsem: Optimize readers and reduce global impact

2016-08-10T12:34:01Z

Currently the percpu-rwsem switches to (global) atomic ops while a writer is waiting; which could be quite a while and slows down releasing the readers. This patch cures this problem by ordering the reader-state vs reader-count (see the comments in __percpu_down_read() and percpu_down_write()). This changes a global atomic op into a full memory barrier, which doesn't have the global cacheline contention. This also enables using the percpu-rwsem with rcu_sync disabled in order to bias the implementation differently, reducing the writer latency by adding some cost to readers.

locking/percpu-rwsem: Make use of the rcu_sync infrastructure

2015-10-06T18:25:31Z

Currently down_write/up_write calls synchronize_sched_expedited() twice, which is evil. Change this code to rely on rcu-sync primitives. This avoids the _expedited "big hammer", and this can be faster in the contended case or even in the case when a single thread does down_write/up_write in a loop. Of course, a single down_write() will take more time, but otoh it will be much more friendly to the whole system. To simplify the review this patch doesn't update the comments, fixed by the next change. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney Reviewed-by: Josh Triplett
