workqueue: trigger WARN if queue_delayed_work() is called with NULL @wq

2017-12-16T09:32:28Z

[ Upstream commit 637fdbae60d6cb9f6e963c1079d7e0445c86ff7d ] If queue_delayed_work() gets called with NULL @wq, the kernel will oops asynchronuosly on timer expiration which isn't too helpful in tracking down the offender. This actually happened with smc. __queue_delayed_work() already does several input sanity checks synchronously. Add NULL @wq check.

workqueue: implicit ordered attribute should be overridable

2017-08-11T16:30:16Z

commit 0a94efb5acbb6980d7c9ab604372d93cd507e4d8 upstream. 5c0338c68706 ("workqueue: restore WQ_UNBOUND/max_active==1 to be ordered") automatically enabled ordered attribute for unbound workqueues w/ max_active == 1. Because ordered workqueues reject max_active and some attribute changes, this implicit ordered mode broke cases where the user creates an unbound workqueue w/ max_active == 1 and later explicitly changes the related attributes. This patch distinguishes explicit and implicit ordered setting and overrides from attribute changes if implict.

workqueue: restore WQ_UNBOUND/max_active==1 to be ordered

2017-08-11T16:30:13Z

commit 5c0338c68706be53b3dc472e4308961c36e4ece1 upstream. The combination of WQ_UNBOUND and max_active == 1 used to imply ordered execution. After NUMA affinity 4c16bd327c74 ("workqueue: implement NUMA affinity for unbound workqueues"), this is no longer true due to per-node worker pools. While the right way to create an ordered workqueue is alloc_ordered_workqueue(), the documentation has been misleading for a long time and people do use WQ_UNBOUND and max_active == 1 for ordered workqueues which can lead to subtle bugs which are very difficult to trigger. It's unlikely that we'd see noticeable performance impact by enforcing ordering on WQ_UNBOUND / max_active == 1 workqueues. Let's automatically set __WQ_ORDERED for those workqueues.

The boot CPU handles housekeeping duty(unbound timers, workqueues, timekeeping, ...) on behalf of full dynticks CPUs. It must remain online when nohz full is enabled. There is a priority set to every notifier_blocks: workqueue_cpu_up > tick_nohz_cpu_down > workqueue_cpu_down So tick_nohz_cpu_down callback failed when down prepare cpu 0, and notifier_blocks behind tick_nohz_cpu_down will not be called any more, which leads to workers are actually not unbound. Then hotplug state machine will fallback to undo and online cpu 0 again. Workers will be rebound unconditionally even if they are not unbound and trigger the warning in this progress. This patch fix it by catching !DISASSOCIATED to avoid rebind bound workers.

That means, that we race with another CPU, which is about to execute __blk_mq_run_hw_queue() work.

This behaviour can be explained by speculative LOAD of hctx->ctx_map on CPU#0, which is reordered with clear of PENDING bit and executed _before_ actual STORE of bit 1 on CPU#1. The proper fix is an explicit full barrier , which guarantees that clear of PENDING bit is to be executed before all possible speculative LOADS or STORES inside actual work function.

workqueue: make sure delayed work run in local cpu

2015-11-13T18:19:09Z

[ Upstream commit 874bbfe600a660cba9c776b3957b1ce393151b76 ] My system keeps crashing with below message. vmstat_update() schedules a delayed work in current cpu and expects the work runs in the cpu. schedule_delayed_work() is expected to make delayed work run in local cpu. The problem is timer can be migrated with NO_HZ. __queue_work() queues work in timer handler, which could run in a different cpu other than where the delayed work is scheduled. The end result is the delayed work runs in different cpu. The patch makes __queue_delayed_work records local cpu earlier. Where the timer runs doesn't change where the work runs with the change.

workqueue: fix hang involving racing cancel[_delayed]_work_sync()'s for PREEMPT_NONE

2015-03-28T13:37:48Z

[ Upstream commit 8603e1b30027f943cc9c1eef2b291d42c3347af1 ] cancel[_delayed]_work_sync() are implemented using __cancel_work_timer() which grabs the PENDING bit using try_to_grab_pending() and then flushes the work item with PENDING set to prevent the on-going execution of the work item from requeueing itself. try_to_grab_pending() can always grab PENDING bit without blocking except when someone else is doing the above flushing during cancelation. In that case, try_to_grab_pending() returns -ENOENT. In this case, __cancel_work_timer() currently invokes flush_work(). The assumption is that the completion of the work item is what the other canceling task would be waiting for too and thus waiting for the same condition and retrying should allow forward progress without excessive busy looping Unfortunately, this doesn't work if preemption is disabled or the latter task has real time priority. Let's say task A just got woken up from flush_work() by the completion of the target work item. If, before task A starts executing, task B gets scheduled and invokes __cancel_work_timer() on the same work item, its try_to_grab_pending() will return -ENOENT as the work item is still being canceled by task A and flush_work() will also immediately return false as the work item is no longer executing. This puts task B in a busy loop possibly preventing task A from executing and clearing the canceling state on the work item leading to a hang. task A task B worker executing work __cancel_work_timer() try_to_grab_pending() set work CANCELING flush_work() block for work completion completion, wakes up A __cancel_work_timer() while (forever) { try_to_grab_pending() -ENOENT as work is being canceled flush_work() false as work is no longer executing } This patch removes the possible hang by updating __cancel_work_timer() to explicitly wait for clearing of CANCELING rather than invoking flush_work() after try_to_grab_pending() fails with -ENOENT.

workqueue: fix subtle pool management issue which can stall whole worker_pool

2015-01-30T01:40:43Z

commit 29187a9eeaf362d8422e62e17a22a6e115277a49 upstream. A worker_pool's forward progress is guaranteed by the fact that the last idle worker assumes the manager role to create more workers and summon the rescuers if creating workers doesn't succeed in timely manner before proceeding to execute work items. This manager role is implemented in manage_workers(), which indicates whether the worker may proceed to work item execution with its return value. This is necessary because multiple workers may contend for the manager role, and, if there already is a manager, others should proceed to work item execution. Unfortunately, the function also indicates that the worker may proceed to work item execution if need_to_create_worker() is false at the head of the function. need_to_create_worker() tests the following conditions. pending work items && !nr_running && !nr_idle The first and third conditions are protected by pool->lock and thus won't change while holding pool->lock; however, nr_running can change asynchronously as other workers block and resume and while it's likely to be zero, as someone woke this worker up in the first place, some other workers could have become runnable inbetween making it non-zero. If this happens, manage_worker() could return false even with zero nr_idle making the worker, the last idle one, proceed to execute work items. If then all workers of the pool end up blocking on a resource which can only be released by a work item which is pending on that pool, the whole pool can deadlock as there's no one to create more workers or summon the rescuers. This patch fixes the problem by removing the early exit condition from maybe_create_worker() and making manage_workers() return false iff there's already another manager, which ensures that the last worker doesn't start executing work items. We can leave the early exit condition alone and just ignore the return value but the only reason it was put there is because the manage_workers() used to perform both creations and destructions of workers and thus the function may be invoked while the pool is trying to reduce the number of workers. Now that manage_workers() is called only when more workers are needed, the only case this early exit condition is triggered is rare race conditions rendering it pointless. Tested with simulated workload and modified workqueue code which trigger the pool deadlock reliably without this patch.
