sched/wait: Provide infrastructure to deal with nested blocking

2015-04-17T00:11:19Z

[ Upstream commit 61ada528dea028331e99e8ceaed87c683ad25de2 ] There are a few places that call blocking primitives from wait loops, provide infrastructure to support this without the typical task_struct::state collision. We record the wakeup in wait_queue_t::flags which leaves task_struct::state free to be used by others.

SCHED: add some "wait..on_bit...timeout()" interfaces.

2014-09-25T12:23:57Z

In commit c1221321b7c25b53204447cff9949a6d5a7ddddc sched: Allow wait_on_bit_action() functions to support a timeout I suggested that a "wait_on_bit_timeout()" interface would not meet my need. This isn't true - I was just over-engineering. Including a 'private' field in wait_bit_key instead of a focused "timeout" field was just premature generalization. If some other use is ever found, it can be generalized or added later. So this patch renames "private" to "timeout" with a meaning "stop waiting when "jiffies" reaches or passes "timeout", and adds two of the many possible wait..bit..timeout() interfaces: wait_on_page_bit_killable_timeout(), which is the one I want to use, and out_of_line_wait_on_bit_timeout() which is a reasonably general example. Others can be added as needed. Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) Signed-off-by: NeilBrown Acked-by: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust

sched: Allow wait_on_bit_action() functions to support a timeout

2014-07-16T13:10:41Z

It is currently not possible for various wait_on_bit functions to implement a timeout. While the "action" function that is called to do the waiting could certainly use schedule_timeout(), there is no way to carry forward the remaining timeout after a false wake-up. As false-wakeups a clearly possible at least due to possible hash collisions in bit_waitqueue(), this is a real problem. The 'action' function is currently passed a pointer to the word containing the bit being waited on. No current action functions use this pointer. So changing it to something else will be a little noisy but will have no immediate effect. This patch changes the 'action' function to take a pointer to the "struct wait_bit_key", which contains a pointer to the word containing the bit so nothing is really lost. It also adds a 'private' field to "struct wait_bit_key", which is initialized to zero. An action function can now implement a timeout with something like static int timed_out_waiter(struct wait_bit_key *key) { unsigned long waited; if (key->private == 0) { key->private = jiffies; if (key->private == 0) key->private -= 1; } waited = jiffies - key->private; if (waited > 10 * HZ) return -EAGAIN; schedule_timeout(waited - 10 * HZ); return 0; } If any other need for context in a waiter were found it would be easy to use ->private for some other purpose, or even extend "struct wait_bit_key". My particular need is to support timeouts in nfs_release_page() to avoid deadlocks with loopback mounted NFS. While wait_on_bit_timeout() would be a cleaner interface, it will not meet my need. I need the timeout to be sensitive to the state of the connection with the server, which could change. So I need to use an 'action' interface.

sched: Remove proliferation of wait_on_bit() action functions

2014-07-16T13:10:39Z

The current "wait_on_bit" interface requires an 'action' function to be provided which does the actual waiting. There are over 20 such functions, many of them identical. Most cases can be satisfied by one of just two functions, one which uses io_schedule() and one which just uses schedule(). So: Rename wait_on_bit and wait_on_bit_lock to wait_on_bit_action and wait_on_bit_lock_action to make it explicit that they need an action function. Introduce new wait_on_bit{,_lock} and wait_on_bit{,_lock}_io which are *not* given an action function but implicitly use a standard one. The decision to error-out if a signal is pending is now made based on the 'mode' argument rather than being encoded in the action function. All instances of the old wait_on_bit and wait_on_bit_lock which can use the new version have been changed accordingly and their action functions have been discarded. wait_on_bit{_lock} does not return any specific error code in the event of a signal so the caller must check for non-zero and interpolate their own error code as appropriate. The wait_on_bit() call in __fscache_wait_on_invalidate() was ambiguous as it specified TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE but used fscache_wait_bit_interruptible as an action function. David Howells confirms this should be uniformly "uninterruptible" The main remaining user of wait_on_bit{,_lock}_action is NFS which needs to use a freezer-aware schedule() call. A comment in fs/gfs2/glock.c notes that having multiple 'action' functions is useful as they display differently in the 'wchan' field of 'ps'. (and /proc/$PID/wchan). As the new bit_wait{,_io} functions are tagged "__sched", they will not show up at all, but something higher in the stack. So the distinction will still be visible, only with different function names (gds2_glock_wait versus gfs2_glock_dq_wait in the gfs2/glock.c case). Since first version of this patch (against 3.15) two new action functions appeared, on in NFS and one in CIFS. CIFS also now uses an action function that makes the same freezer aware schedule call as NFS.

sched: remove sleep_on() and friends

2014-04-07T18:24:06Z

This is the final piece in the puzzle, as all patches to remove the last users of $interruptible_\|$sleep_on$_timeout\|$ have made it into the 3.15 merge window. The work was long overdue, and this interface in particular should not have survived the BKL removal that was done a couple of years ago. Citing Jon Corbet from http://lwn.net/2001/0201/kernel.php3": "[...] it was suggested that the janitors look for and fix all code that calls sleep_on() [...] since (1) almost all such code is incorrect, and (2) Linus has agreed that those functions should be removed in the 2.5 development series". We haven't quite made it for 2.5, but maybe we can merge this for 3.15. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
