Pull percpu updates from Tejun Heo: "A lot of activities on percpu front. Notable changes are... - percpu allocator now can take @gfp. If @gfp doesn't contain GFP_KERNEL, it tries to allocate from what's already available to the allocator and a work item tries to keep the reserve around certain level so that these atomic allocations usually succeed. This will replace the ad-hoc percpu memory pool used by blk-throttle and also be used by the planned blkcg support for writeback IOs. Please note that I noticed a bug in how @gfp is interpreted while preparing this pull request and applied the fix 6ae833c7fe0c ("percpu: fix how @gfp is interpreted by the percpu allocator") just now. - percpu_ref now uses longs for percpu and global counters instead of ints. It leads to more sparse packing of the percpu counters on 64bit machines but the overhead should be negligible and this allows using percpu_ref for refcnting pages and in-memory objects directly. - The switching between percpu and single counter modes of a percpu_ref is made independent of putting the base ref and a percpu_ref can now optionally be initialized in single or killed mode. This allows avoiding percpu shutdown latency for cases where the refcounted objects may be synchronously created and destroyed in rapid succession with only a fraction of them reaching fully operational status (SCSI probing does this when combined with blk-mq support). It's also planned to be used to implement forced single mode to detect underflow more timely for debugging. There's a separate branch percpu/for-3.18-consistent-ops which cleans up the duplicate percpu accessors. That branch causes a number of conflicts with s390 and other trees.

Revert "cgroup: remove redundant variable in cgroup_mount()"

2014-09-26T04:16:23Z

This reverts commit 0c7bf3e8cab7900e17ce7f97104c39927d835469. If there are child cgroups in the cgroupfs and then we umount it, the superblock will be destroyed but the cgroup_root will be kept around. When we mount it again, cgroup_mount() will find this cgroup_root and allocate a new sb for it. So with this commit we will be trapped in a dead loop in the case described above, because kernfs_pin_sb() keeps returning NULL. Currently I don't see how we can avoid using both pinned_sb and new_sb, so just revert it. Cc: Al Viro Reported-by: Andrey Wagin Signed-off-by: Zefan Li Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

percpu_ref: add PERCPU_REF_INIT_* flags

2014-09-24T17:31:50Z

With the recent addition of percpu_ref_reinit(), percpu_ref now can be used as a persistent switch which can be turned on and off repeatedly where turning off maps to killing the ref and waiting for it to drain; however, there currently isn't a way to initialize a percpu_ref in its off (killed and drained) state, which can be inconvenient for certain persistent switch use cases. Similarly, percpu_ref_switch_to_atomic/percpu() allow dynamic selection of operation mode; however, currently a newly initialized percpu_ref is always in percpu mode making it impossible to avoid the latency overhead of switching to atomic mode. This patch adds @flags to percpu_ref_init() and implements the following flags. * PERCPU_REF_INIT_ATOMIC : start ref in atomic mode * PERCPU_REF_INIT_DEAD : start ref killed and drained These flags should be able to serve the above two use cases. v2: target_core_tpg.c conversion was missing. Fixed. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo Reviewed-by: Kent Overstreet Cc: Jens Axboe Cc: Christoph Hellwig Cc: Johannes Weiner

2014-09-24T17:00:21Z

This is to receive 0a30288da1ae ("blk-mq, percpu_ref: implement a kludge for SCSI blk-mq stall during probe") which implements __percpu_ref_kill_expedited() to work around SCSI blk-mq stall. The commit reverted and patches to implement proper fix will be added. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo Cc: Kent Overstreet Cc: Jens Axboe Cc: Christoph Hellwig

cgroup: remove redundant variable in cgroup_mount()

2014-09-20T17:09:35Z

Both pinned_sb and new_sb indicate if a new superblock is needed, so we can just remove new_sb. Note now we must check if kernfs_tryget_sb() returns NULL, because when it returns NULL, kernfs_mount() may still re-use an existing superblock, which is just allocated by another concurent mount.

cgroup: remove CGRP_RELEASABLE flag

2014-09-19T13:29:32Z

We call put_css_set() after setting CGRP_RELEASABLE flag in cgroup_task_migrate(), but in other places we call it without setting the flag. I don't see the necessity of this flag. Moreover once the flag is set, it will never be cleared, unless writing to the notify_on_release control file, so it can be quite confusing if we look at the output of debug.releasable. # mount -t cgroup -o debug xxx /cgroup # mkdir /cgroup/child # cat /cgroup/child/debug.releasable 0 <-- shows 0 though the cgroup is empty # echo $$ > /cgroup/child/tasks # cat /cgroup/child/debug.releasable 0 # echo $$ > /cgroup/tasks && echo $$ > /cgroup/child/tasks # cat /proc/child/debug.releasable 1 <-- shows 1 though the cgroup is not empty This patch removes the flag, and now debug.releasable shows if the cgroup is empty or not.

cgroup: use a per-cgroup work for release agent

2014-09-18T17:14:22Z

Instead of using a global work to schedule release agent on removable cgroups, we change to use a per-cgroup work to do this, which makes the code much simpler. v2: use a dedicated work instead of reusing css->destroy_work. (Tejun) Signed-off-by: Zefan Li Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo
