cpu/hotplug: Cure the cpusets trainwreck

2021-07-19T07:44:59Z

commit b22afcdf04c96ca58327784e280e10288cfd3303 upstream. Alexey and Joshua tried to solve a cpusets related hotplug problem which is user space visible and results in unexpected behaviour for some time after a CPU has been plugged in and the corresponding uevent was delivered. cpusets delegate the hotplug work (rebuilding cpumasks etc.) to a workqueue. This is done because the cpusets code has already a lock nesting of cgroups_mutex -> cpu_hotplug_lock. A synchronous callback or waiting for the work to finish with cpu_hotplug_lock held can and will deadlock because that results in the reverse lock order. As a consequence the uevent can be delivered before cpusets have consistent state which means that a user space invocation of sched_setaffinity() to move a task to the plugged CPU fails up to the point where the scheduled work has been processed. The same is true for CPU unplug, but that does not create user observable failure (yet). It's still inconsistent to claim that an operation is finished before it actually is and that's the real issue at hand. uevents just make it reliably observable. Obviously the problem should be fixed in cpusets/cgroups, but untangling that is pretty much impossible because according to the changelog of the commit which introduced this 8 years ago: 3a5a6d0c2b03("cpuset: don't nest cgroup_mutex inside get_online_cpus()") the lock order cgroups_mutex -> cpu_hotplug_lock is a design decision and the whole code is built around that. So bite the bullet and invoke the relevant cpuset function, which waits for the work to finish, in _cpu_up/down() after dropping cpu_hotplug_lock and only when tasks are not frozen by suspend/hibernate because that would obviously wait forever. Waiting there with cpu_add_remove_lock, which is protecting the present and possible CPU maps, held is not a problem at all because neither work queues nor cpusets/cgroups have any lockchains related to that lock. Waiting in the hotplug machinery is not problematic either because there are already state callbacks which wait for hardware queues to drain. It makes the operations slightly slower, but hotplug is slow anyway. This ensures that state is consistent before returning from a hotplug up/down operation. It's still inconsistent during the operation, but that's a different story. Add a large comment which explains why this is done and why this is not a dump ground for the hack of the day to work around half thought out locking schemes. Document also the implications vs. hotplug operations and serialization or the lack of it. Thanks to Alexy and Joshua for analyzing why this temporary sched_setaffinity() failure happened.

kernel/cpu: add arch override for clear_tasks_mm_cpumask() mm handling

2020-11-26T13:10:39Z

powerpc/64s keeps a counter in the mm which counts bits set in mm_cpumask as well as other things. This means it can't use generic code to clear bits out of the mask and doesn't adjust the arch specific counter. Add an arch override that allows powerpc/64s to use clear_tasks_mm_cpumask().

cpu/hotplug: Remove disable_nonboot_cpus()

2020-05-07T13:18:40Z

The single user could have called freeze_secondary_cpus() directly. Since this function was a source of confusion, remove it as it's just a pointless wrapper. While at it, rename enable_nonboot_cpus() to thaw_secondary_cpus() to preserve the naming symmetry.

sched/core: Fix illegal RCU from offline CPUs

2020-04-30T18:14:41Z

In the CPU-offline process, it calls mmdrop() after idle entry and the subsequent call to cpuhp_report_idle_dead(). Once execution passes the call to rcu_report_dead(), RCU is ignoring the CPU, which results in lockdep complaining when mmdrop() uses RCU from either memcg or debugobjects below. Fix it by cleaning up the active_mm state from BP instead. Every arch which has CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU should have already called idle_task_exit() from AP. The only exception is parisc because it switches them to &init_mm unconditionally (see smp_boot_one_cpu() and smp_cpu_init()), but the patch will still work there because it calls mmgrab(&init_mm) in smp_cpu_init() and then should call mmdrop(&init_mm) in finish_cpu().

cpu/hotplug: Ignore pm_wakeup_pending() for disable_nonboot_cpus()

2020-03-28T10:42:55Z

A recent change to freeze_secondary_cpus() which added an early abort if a wakeup is pending missed the fact that the function is also invoked for shutdown, reboot and kexec via disable_nonboot_cpus(). In case of disable_nonboot_cpus() the wakeup event needs to be ignored as the purpose is to terminate the currently running kernel. Add a 'suspend' argument which is only set when the freeze is in context of a suspend operation. If not set then an eventually pending wakeup event is ignored.

cpu/hotplug: Hide cpu_up/down()

2020-03-25T11:59:38Z

Use separate functions for the device core to bring a CPU up and down. Users outside the device core must use add/remove_cpu() which will take care of extra housekeeping work like keeping sysfs in sync. Make cpu_up/down() static and replace the extra layer of indirection.
