workqueue: Show the latest workqueue name in /proc/PID/{comm,stat,status}

2018-05-18T15:47:13Z

There can be a lot of workqueue workers and they all show up with the cryptic kworker/* names making it difficult to understand which is doing what and how they came to be. # ps -ef | grep kworker root 4 2 0 Feb25 ? 00:00:00 [kworker/0:0H] root 6 2 0 Feb25 ? 00:00:00 [kworker/u112:0] root 19 2 0 Feb25 ? 00:00:00 [kworker/1:0H] root 25 2 0 Feb25 ? 00:00:00 [kworker/2:0H] root 31 2 0 Feb25 ? 00:00:00 [kworker/3:0H] ... This patch makes workqueue workers report the latest workqueue it was executing for through /proc/PID/{comm,stat,status}. The extra information is appended to the kthread name with intervening '+' if currently executing, otherwise '-'. # cat /proc/25/comm kworker/2:0-events_power_efficient # cat /proc/25/stat 25 (kworker/2:0-events_power_efficient) I 2 0 0 0 -1 69238880 0 0... # grep Name /proc/25/status Name: kworker/2:0-events_power_efficient Unfortunately, ps(1) truncates comm to 15 characters, # ps 25 PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND 25 ? I 0:00 [kworker/2:0-eve] making it a lot less useful; however, this should be an easy fix from ps(1) side. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo Suggested-by: Linus Torvalds Cc: Craig Small

RCU, workqueue: Implement rcu_work

2018-03-19T17:12:03Z

There are cases where RCU callback needs to be bounced to a sleepable context. This is currently done by the RCU callback queueing a work item, which can be cumbersome to write and confusing to read. This patch introduces rcu_work, a workqueue work variant which gets executed after a RCU grace period, and converts the open coded bouncing in fs/aio and kernel/cgroup. v3: Dropped queue_rcu_work_on(). Documented rcu grace period behavior after queue_rcu_work(). v2: Use rcu_barrier() instead of synchronize_rcu() to wait for completion of previously queued rcu callback as per Paul.

workqueue: remove unused cancel_work()

2018-03-13T20:37:42Z

Found this by accident. There are no usages of bare cancel_work() in current kernel source. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

workqueue: Allow retrieval of current task's work struct

2018-02-16T21:24:25Z

Introduce a helper to retrieve the current task's work struct if it is a workqueue worker. This allows us to fix a long-standing deadlock in several DRM drivers wherein the ->runtime_suspend callback waits for a specific worker to finish and that worker in turn calls a function which waits for runtime suspend to finish. That function is invoked from multiple call sites and waiting for runtime suspend to finish is the correct thing to do except if it's executing in the context of the worker.

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.

timer: Remove redundant __setup_timer*() macros

With __init_timer*() now matching __setup_timer*(), remove the redundant internal interface, clean up the resulting definitions and add more documentation. Cc: Thomas Gleixner Cc: Tejun Heo Cc: Lai Jiangshan Cc: Shaohua Li Cc: Jens Axboe Cc: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Kees Cook

Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner: "Yet another big pile of changes: - More year 2038 work from Arnd slowly reaching the point where we need to think about the syscalls themself. - A new timer function which allows to conditionally (re)arm a timer only when it's either not running or the new expiry time is sooner than the armed expiry time. This allows to use a single timer for multiple timeout requirements w/o caring about the first expiry time at the call site. - A new NMI safe accessor to clock real time for the printk timestamp work. Can be used by tracing, perf as well if required. - A large number of timer setup conversions from Kees which got collected here because either maintainers requested so or they simply got ignored. As Kees pointed out already there are a few trivial merge conflicts and some redundant commits which was unavoidable due to the size of this conversion effort. - Avoid a redundant iteration in the timer wheel softirq processing. - Provide a mechanism to treat RTC implementations depending on their hardware properties, i.e. don't inflict the write at the 0.5 seconds boundary which originates from the PC CMOS RTC to all RTCs. No functional change as drivers need to be updated separately. - The usual small updates to core code clocksource drivers.
