watchdog/core, powerpc: Lock cpus across reconfiguration

2017-10-04T08:53:54Z

Instead of dropping the cpu hotplug lock after stopping NMI watchdog and threads and reaquiring for restart, the code and the protection rules become more obvious when holding cpu hotplug lock across the full reconfiguration.

smpboot/threads, watchdog/core: Avoid runtime allocation

2017-09-14T09:41:06Z

smpboot_update_cpumask_threads_percpu() allocates a temporary cpumask at runtime. This is suboptimal because the call site needs more code size for proper error handling than a statically allocated temporary mask requires data size. Add static temporary cpumask. The function is globaly serialized, so no further protection required. Remove the half baken error handling in the watchdog code and get rid of the export as there are no in tree modular users of that function.

We are going to split out of , which will have to be picked up from other headers and a couple of .c files. Create a trivial placeholder file that just maps to to make this patch obviously correct and bisectable. Include the new header in the files that are going to need it.

kthread/smpboot: do not park in kthread_create_on_cpu()

2016-10-11T22:06:33Z

kthread_create_on_cpu() was added by the commit 2a1d446019f9a5983e ("kthread: Implement park/unpark facility"). It is currently used only when enabling new CPU. For this purpose, the newly created kthread has to be parked. The CPU binding is a bit tricky. The kthread is parked when the CPU has not been allowed yet. And the CPU is bound when the kthread is unparked. The function would be useful for more per-CPU kthreads, e.g. bnx2fc_thread, fcoethread. For this purpose, the newly created kthread should stay in the uninterruptible state. This patch moves the parking into smpboot. It binds the thread already when created. Then the function might be used universally. Also the behavior is consistent with kthread_create() and kthread_create_on_node().

Revert "sched/core: Do not use smp_processor_id() with preempt enabled in smpboot_thread_fn()"

2016-10-04T07:55:57Z

This reverts commit 4fa5cd5245b627db88c9ca08ae442373b02596b4. The original change widens a preempt-off section, to avoid a seemingly unsafe smp_processor_id() use. During review I overlooked two facts: - The code to calls a non-trivial function callback: ht->park(td->cpu); ... which might (and does occasionally) sleep, triggering the warning. - More importantly, as pointed out by Peter Zijlstra, using smp_processor_id() in that context is safe, if it's done from a kernel thread that is pinned to a single CPU - which is the case here. So revert to the original code that enables preemption sooner.

stop_machine: Kill smp_hotplug_thread->pre_unpark, introduce stop_machine_unpark()

2015-10-20T08:23:55Z

1. Change smpboot_unpark_thread() to check ->selfparking, just like smpboot_park_thread() does. 2. Introduce stop_machine_unpark() which sets ->enabled and calls kthread_unpark(). 3. Change smpboot_thread_call() and cpu_stop_init() to call stop_machine_unpark() by hand. This way: - IMO the ->selfparking logic becomes more consistent. - We can kill the smp_hotplug_thread->pre_unpark() method. - We can easily unpark the stopper thread earlier. Say, we can move stop_machine_unpark() from smpboot_thread_call() to sched_cpu_active() as Peter suggests.

smpboot: allow passing the cpumask on per-cpu thread registration

It makes the registration cheaper and simpler for the smpboot per-cpu kthread users that don't need to always update the cpumask after threads creation.

smpboot: make cleanup to mirror setup

2015-09-04T23:54:41Z

The per-cpu kthread cleanup() callback is the mirror of the setup() callback. When the per-cpu kthread is started, it first calls setup() to initialize the resources which are then released by cleanup() when the kthread exits. Now since the introduction of a per-cpu kthread cpumask, the kthreads excluded by the cpumask on boot may happen to be parked immediately after their creation without taking the setup() stage, waiting to be asked to unpark to do so. Then when smpboot_unregister_percpu_thread() is later called, the kthread is stopped without having ever called setup(). But this triggers a bug as the kthread unconditionally calls cleanup() on exit but this doesn't mirror any setup(). Thus the kernel crashes because we try to free resources that haven't been initialized, as in the watchdog case: WATCHDOG disable 0 WATCHDOG disable 1 WATCHDOG disable 2 BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null) IP: hrtimer_active+0x26/0x60 [...] Call Trace: hrtimer_try_to_cancel+0x1c/0x280 hrtimer_cancel+0x1d/0x30 watchdog_disable+0x56/0x70 watchdog_cleanup+0xe/0x10 smpboot_thread_fn+0x23c/0x2c0 kthread+0xf8/0x110 ret_from_fork+0x3f/0x70 This bug is currently masked with explicit kthread unparking before kthread_stop() on smpboot_destroy_threads(). This forces a call to setup() and then unpark(). We could fix this by unconditionally calling setup() on kthread entry. But setup() isn't always cheap. In the case of watchdog it launches hrtimer, perf events, etc... So we may as well like to skip it if there are chances the kthread will never be used, as in a reduced cpumask value. So let's simply do a state machine check before calling cleanup() that makes sure setup() has been called before mirroring it. And remove the nasty hack workaround.
