rcu: Fix missed wakeup of exp_wq waiters

2021-09-26T11:37:28Z

commit fd6bc19d7676a060a171d1cf3dcbf6fd797eb05f upstream. Tasks waiting within exp_funnel_lock() for an expedited grace period to elapse can be starved due to the following sequence of events: 1. Tasks A and B both attempt to start an expedited grace period at about the same time. This grace period will have completed when the lower four bits of the rcu_state structure's ->expedited_sequence field are 0b'0100', for example, when the initial value of this counter is zero. Task A wins, and thus does the actual work of starting the grace period, including acquiring the rcu_state structure's .exp_mutex and sets the counter to 0b'0001'. 2. Because task B lost the race to start the grace period, it waits on ->expedited_sequence to reach 0b'0100' inside of exp_funnel_lock(). This task therefore blocks on the rcu_node structure's ->exp_wq[1] field, keeping in mind that the end-of-grace-period value of ->expedited_sequence (0b'0100') is shifted down two bits before indexing the ->exp_wq[] field. 3. Task C attempts to start another expedited grace period, but blocks on ->exp_mutex, which is still held by Task A. 4. The aforementioned expedited grace period completes, so that ->expedited_sequence now has the value 0b'0100'. A kworker task therefore acquires the rcu_state structure's ->exp_wake_mutex and starts awakening any tasks waiting for this grace period. 5. One of the first tasks awakened happens to be Task A. Task A therefore releases the rcu_state structure's ->exp_mutex, which allows Task C to start the next expedited grace period, which causes the lower four bits of the rcu_state structure's ->expedited_sequence field to become 0b'0101'. 6. Task C's expedited grace period completes, so that the lower four bits of the rcu_state structure's ->expedited_sequence field now become 0b'1000'. 7. The kworker task from step 4 above continues its wakeups. Unfortunately, the wake_up_all() refetches the rcu_state structure's .expedited_sequence field: wake_up_all(&rnp->exp_wq[rcu_seq_ctr(rcu_state.expedited_sequence) & 0x3]); This results in the wakeup being applied to the rcu_node structure's ->exp_wq[2] field, which is unfortunate given that Task B is instead waiting on ->exp_wq[1]. On a busy system, no harm is done (or at least no permanent harm is done). Some later expedited grace period will redo the wakeup. But on a quiet system, such as many embedded systems, it might be a good long time before there was another expedited grace period. On such embedded systems, this situation could therefore result in a system hang. This issue manifested as DPM device timeout during suspend (which usually qualifies as a quiet time) due to a SCSI device being stuck in _synchronize_rcu_expedited(), with the following stack trace: schedule() synchronize_rcu_expedited() synchronize_rcu() scsi_device_quiesce() scsi_bus_suspend() dpm_run_callback() __device_suspend() This commit therefore prevents such delays, timeouts, and hangs by making rcu_exp_wait_wake() use its "s" argument consistently instead of refetching from rcu_state.expedited_sequence.

rcuperf: Fix cleanup path for invalid perf_type strings

2019-05-31T13:47:33Z

[ Upstream commit ad092c027713a68a34168942a5ef422e42e039f4 ] If the specified rcuperf.perf_type is not in the rcu_perf_init() function's perf_ops[] array, rcuperf prints some console messages and then invokes rcu_perf_cleanup() to set state so that a future torture test can run. However, rcu_perf_cleanup() also attempts to end the test that didn't actually start, and in doing so relies on the value of cur_ops, a value that is not particularly relevant in this case. This can result in confusing output or even follow-on failures due to attempts to use facilities that have not been properly initialized. This commit therefore sets the value of cur_ops to NULL in this case and inserts a check near the beginning of rcu_perf_cleanup(), thus avoiding relying on an irrelevant cur_ops value.

rcu: Do RCU GP kthread self-wakeup from softirq and interrupt

2019-03-23T13:35:30Z

commit 1d1f898df6586c5ea9aeaf349f13089c6fa37903 upstream. The rcu_gp_kthread_wake() function is invoked when it might be necessary to wake the RCU grace-period kthread. Because self-wakeups are normally a useless waste of CPU cycles, if rcu_gp_kthread_wake() is invoked from this kthread, it naturally refuses to do the wakeup. Unfortunately, natural though it might be, this heuristic fails when rcu_gp_kthread_wake() is invoked from an interrupt or softirq handler that interrupted the grace-period kthread just after the final check of the wait-event condition but just before the schedule() call. In this case, a wakeup is required, even though the call to rcu_gp_kthread_wake() is within the RCU grace-period kthread's context. Failing to provide this wakeup can result in grace periods failing to start, which in turn results in out-of-memory conditions. This race window is quite narrow, but it actually did happen during real testing. It would of course need to be fixed even if it was strictly theoretical in nature. This patch does not Cc stable because it does not apply cleanly to earlier kernel versions.

rcu: Make need_resched() respond to urgent RCU-QS needs

2018-12-01T08:43:00Z

commit 92aa39e9dc77481b90cbef25e547d66cab901496 upstream. The per-CPU rcu_dynticks.rcu_urgent_qs variable communicates an urgent need for an RCU quiescent state from the force-quiescent-state processing within the grace-period kthread to context switches and to cond_resched(). Unfortunately, such urgent needs are not communicated to need_resched(), which is sometimes used to decide when to invoke cond_resched(), for but one example, within the KVM vcpu_run() function. As of v4.15, this can result in synchronize_sched() being delayed by up to ten seconds, which can be problematic, to say nothing of annoying. This commit therefore checks rcu_dynticks.rcu_urgent_qs from within rcu_check_callbacks(), which is invoked from the scheduling-clock interrupt handler. If the current task is not an idle task and is not executing in usermode, a context switch is forced, and either way, the rcu_dynticks.rcu_urgent_qs variable is set to false. If the current task is an idle task, then RCU's dyntick-idle code will detect the quiescent state, so no further action is required. Similarly, if the task is executing in usermode, other code in rcu_check_callbacks() and its called functions will report the corresponding quiescent state.

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
