      workqueue: implement sysfs interface for workqueues · 226223ab
      Tejun Heo authored
      There are cases where workqueue users want to expose control knobs to
      userland.  e.g. Unbound workqueues with custom attributes are
      scheduled to be used for writeback workers and depending on
      configuration it can be useful to allow admins to tinker with the
      priority or allowed CPUs.
      
      This patch implements workqueue_sysfs_register(), which makes the
      workqueue visible under /sys/bus/workqueue/devices/WQ_NAME.  There
      currently are two attributes common to both per-cpu and unbound pools
      and extra attributes for unbound pools including nice level and
      cpumask.
      
      If alloc_workqueue*() is called with WQ_SYSFS,
      workqueue_sysfs_register() is called automatically as part of
      workqueue creation.  This is the preferred method unless the workqueue
      user wants to apply workqueue_attrs before making the workqueue
      visible to userland.
      
      v2: Disallow exposing ordered workqueues as ordered workqueues can't
          be tuned in any way.

      driver/base: implement subsys_virtual_register() · d73ce004
      Tejun Heo authored
      Kay tells me the most appropriate place to expose workqueues to
      userland would be /sys/devices/virtual/workqueues/WQ_NAME which is
      symlinked to /sys/bus/workqueue/devices/WQ_NAME and that we're lacking
      a way to do that outside of driver core as virtual_device_parent()
      isn't exported and there's no inteface to conveniently create a
      virtual subsystem.
      
      This patch implements subsys_virtual_register() by factoring out
      subsys_register() from subsys_system_register() and using it with
      virtual_device_parent() as the origin directory.  It's identical to
      subsys_system_register() other than the origin directory but we aren't
      gonna restrict the device names which should be used under it.
      
      This will be used to expose workqueue attributes to userland.

      cpumask: implement cpumask_parse() · ba630e49
      Tejun Heo authored
      We have cpulist_parse() but not cpumask_parse().  Implement it using
      bitmap_parse().
      
      bitmap_parse() is weird in that it takes @len for a string in
      kernel-memory which also is inconsistent with bitmap_parselist().
      Make cpumask_parse() calculate the length and don't expose the
      inconsistency to cpumask users.  Maybe we can fix up bitmap_parse()
      later.
      
      This will be used to expose workqueue cpumask knobs to userland via
      sysfs.

      workqueue: reject adjusting max_active or applying attrs to ordered workqueues · 8719dcea
      Tejun Heo authored
      Adjusting max_active of or applying new workqueue_attrs to an ordered
      workqueue breaks its ordering guarantee.  The former is obvious.  The
      latter is because applying attrs creates a new pwq (pool_workqueue)
      and there is no ordering constraint between the old and new pwqs.
      
      Make apply_workqueue_attrs() and workqueue_set_max_active() trigger
      WARN_ON() if those operations are requested on an ordered workqueue
      and fail / ignore respectively.

      workqueue: implement apply_workqueue_attrs() · 9e8cd2f5
      Tejun Heo authored
      Implement apply_workqueue_attrs() which applies workqueue_attrs to the
      specified unbound workqueue by creating a new pwq (pool_workqueue)
      linked to worker_pool with the specified attributes.
      
      A new pwq is linked at the head of wq->pwqs instead of tail and
      __queue_work() verifies that the first unbound pwq has positive refcnt
      before choosing it for the actual queueing.  This is to cover the case
      where creation of a new pwq races with queueing.  As base ref on a pwq
      won't be dropped without making another pwq the first one,
      __queue_work() is guaranteed to make progress and not add work item to
      a dead pwq.
      
      init_and_link_pwq() is updated to return the last first pwq the new
      pwq replaced, which is put by apply_workqueue_attrs().
      
      Note that apply_workqueue_attrs() is almost identical to unbound pwq
      part of alloc_and_link_pwqs().  The only difference is that there is
      no previous first pwq.  apply_workqueue_attrs() is implemented to
      handle such cases and replaces unbound pwq handling in
      alloc_and_link_pwqs().

      workqueue: perform non-reentrancy test when queueing to unbound workqueues too · c9178087
      Tejun Heo authored
      Because per-cpu workqueues have multiple pwqs (pool_workqueues) to
      serve the CPUs, to guarantee that a single work item isn't queued on
      one pwq while still executing another, __queue_work() takes a look at
      the previous pool the target work item was on and if it's still
      executing there, queue the work item on that pool.
      
      To support changing workqueue_attrs on the fly, unbound workqueues too
      will have multiple pwqs and thus need non-reentrancy test when
      queueing.  This patch modifies __queue_work() such that the reentrancy
      test is performed regardless of the workqueue type.
      
      per_cpu_ptr(wq->cpu_pwqs, cpu) used to be used to determine the
      matching pwq for the last pool.  This can't be used for unbound
      workqueues and is replaced with worker->current_pwq which also happens
      to be simpler.

      workqueue: prepare flush_workqueue() for dynamic creation and destrucion of unbound pool_workqueues · 75ccf595
      Tejun Heo authored
      Unbound pwqs (pool_workqueues) will be dynamically created and
      destroyed with the scheduled unbound workqueue w/ custom attributes
      support.  This patch synchronizes pwq linking and unlinking against
      flush_workqueue() so that its operation isn't disturbed by pwqs coming
      and going.
      
      Linking and unlinking a pwq into wq->pwqs is now protected also by
      wq->flush_mutex and a new pwq's work_color is initialized to
      wq->work_color during linking.  This ensures that pwqs changes don't
      disturb flush_workqueue() in progress and the new pwq's work coloring
      stays in sync with the rest of the workqueue.
      
      flush_mutex during unlinking isn't strictly necessary but it's simpler
      to do it anyway.

      workqueue: implement get/put_pwq() · 8864b4e5
      Tejun Heo authored
      Add pool_workqueue->refcnt along with get/put_pwq().  Both per-cpu and
      unbound pwqs have refcnts and any work item inserted on a pwq
      increments the refcnt which is dropped when the work item finishes.
      
      For per-cpu pwqs the base ref is never dropped and destroy_workqueue()
      frees the pwqs as before.  For unbound ones, destroy_workqueue()
      simply drops the base ref on the first pwq.  When the refcnt reaches
      zero, pwq_unbound_release_workfn() is scheduled on system_wq, which
      unlinks the pwq, puts the associated pool and frees the pwq and wq as
      necessary.  This needs to be done from a work item as put_pwq() needs
      to be protected by pool->lock but release can't happen with the lock
      held - e.g. put_unbound_pool() involves blocking operations.
      
      Unbound pool->locks are marked with lockdep subclas 1 as put_pwq()
      will schedule the release work item on system_wq while holding the
      unbound pool's lock and triggers recursive locking warning spuriously.
      
      This will be used to implement dynamic creation and destruction of
      unbound pwqs.

      workqueue: drop WQ_RESCUER and test workqueue->rescuer for NULL instead · 493008a8
      Tejun Heo authored
      WQ_RESCUER is superflous.  WQ_MEM_RECLAIM indicates that the user
      wants a rescuer and testing wq->rescuer for NULL can answer whether a
      given workqueue has a rescuer or not.  Drop WQ_RESCUER and test
      wq->rescuer directly.
      
      This will help simplifying __alloc_workqueue_key() failure path by
      allowing it to use destroy_workqueue() on a partially constructed
      workqueue, which in turn will help implementing dynamic management of
      pool_workqueues.
      
      While at it, clear wq->rescuer after freeing it in

      workqueue: implement attribute-based unbound worker_pool management · 29c91e99
      Tejun Heo authored
      This patch makes unbound worker_pools reference counted and
      dynamically created and destroyed as workqueues needing them come and
      go.  All unbound worker_pools are hashed on unbound_pool_hash which is
      keyed by the content of worker_pool->attrs.
      
      When an unbound workqueue is allocated, get_unbound_pool() is called
      with the attributes of the workqueue.  If there already is a matching
      worker_pool, the reference count is bumped and the pool is returned.
      If not, a new worker_pool with matching attributes is created and
      returned.
      
      When an unbound workqueue is destroyed, put_unbound_pool() is called
      which decrements the reference count of the associated worker_pool.
      If the refcnt reaches zero, the worker_pool is destroyed in sched-RCU
      safe way.
      
      Note that the standard unbound worker_pools - normal and highpri ones
      with no specific cpumask affinity - are no longer created explicitly
      during init_workqueues().  init_workqueues() only initializes
      workqueue_attrs to be used for standard unbound pools -
      unbound_std_wq_attrs[].  The pools are spawned on demand as workqueues
      are created.
      
      v2: - Comment added to init_worker_pool() explaining that @pool should
            be in a condition which can be passed to put_unbound_pool() even
            on failure.
      
          - pool->refcnt reaching zero and the pool being removed from
            unbound_pool_hash should be dynamic.  pool->refcnt is converted
            to int from atomic_t and now manipulated inside workqueue_lock.
      
          - Removed an incorrect sanity check on nr_idle in
            put_unbound_pool() which may trigger spuriously.

      workqueue: introduce workqueue_attrs · 7a4e344c

      Introduce struct workqueue_attrs which carries worker attributes -
      currently the nice level and allowed cpumask along with helper

      workqueue: replace POOL_MANAGING_WORKERS flag with worker_pool->manager_arb · 34a06bd6

      POOL_MANAGING_WORKERS is used to synchronize the manager role.
      Synchronizing among workers doesn't need blocking and that's why it's
      implemented as a flag.
      
      It got converted to a mutex a while back to add blocking wait from CPU
      hotplug path - 60373152 ("workqueue: use mutex for global_cwq
      manager exclusion").  Later it turned out that synchronization among
      workers and cpu hotplug need to be done separately.  Eventually,
      POOL_MANAGING_WORKERS is restored and workqueue->manager_mutex got

      POOL_MANAGING_WORKERS") and b2eb83d1 ("workqueue: rename
      manager_mutex to assoc_mutex").
      
      Now, we're gonna need to be able to lock out managers from
      destroy_workqueue() to support multiple unbound pools with custom
      attributes making it again necessary to be able to block on the
      manager role.  This patch replaces POOL_MANAGING_WORKERS with

      users already know whether they're dealing with a per-cpu or unbound
      workqueue.
      
      Replace get_pwq() with explicit per_cpu_ptr(wq->cpu_pwqs, cpu) for
      per-cpu workqueues and first_pwq() for unbound ones, and open-code
      WQ_UNBOUND conditional in workqueue_congested().
      
      Note that this makes workqueue_congested() behave sligntly differently
      when @cpu other than WORK_CPU_UNBOUND is specified.  It ignores @cpu
      for unbound workqueues and always uses the first pwq instead of
      oopsing.

      workqueue: remove workqueue_struct->pool_wq.single · 420c0ddb
      Tejun Heo authored
      workqueue->pool_wq union is used to point either to percpu pwqs
      (pool_workqueues) or single unbound pwq.  As the first pwq can be
      accessed via workqueue->pwqs list, there's no reason for the single
      pointer anymore.
      
      Use list_first_entry(workqueue->pwqs) to access the unbound pwq and
      drop workqueue->pool_wq.single pointer and the pool_wq union.  It
      simplifies the code and eases implementing multiple unbound pools w/
      custom attributes.

      workqueue: consistently use int for @cpu variables · d84ff051
      Tejun Heo authored
      Workqueue is mixing unsigned int and int for @cpu variables.  There's
      no point in using unsigned int for cpus - many of cpu related APIs
      take int anyway.  Consistently use int for @cpu variables so that we
      can use negative values to mark special ones.

      workqueue: add wokrqueue_struct->maydays list to replace mayday cpu iterators · 493a1724
      Tejun Heo authored
      Similar to how pool_workqueue iteration used to be, raising and
      servicing mayday requests is based on CPU numbers.  It's hairy because
      cpumask_t may not be able to handle WORK_CPU_UNBOUND and cpumasks are
      assumed to be always set on UP.  This is ugly and can't handle
      multiple unbound pools to be added for unbound workqueues w/ custom
      attributes.
      
      Add workqueue_struct->maydays.  When a pool_workqueue needs rescuing,
      it gets chained on the list through pool_workqueue->mayday_node and
      rescuer_thread() consumes the list until it's empty.

      workqueue: restructure pool / pool_workqueue iterations in freeze/thaw functions · 24b8a847
      Tejun Heo authored
      The three freeze/thaw related functions - freeze_workqueues_begin(),
      freeze_workqueues_busy() and thaw_workqueues() - need to iterate
      through all pool_workqueues of all freezable workqueues.  They did it
      by first iterating pools and then visiting all pwqs (pool_workqueues)
      of all workqueues and process it if its pwq->pool matches the current
      pool.  This is rather backwards and done this way partly because
      workqueue didn't have fitting iteration helpers and partly to avoid
      the number of lock operations on pool->lock.
      
      Workqueue now has fitting iterators and the locking operation overhead
      isn't anything to worry about - those locks are unlikely to be
      contended and the same CPU visiting the same set of locks multiple
      times isn't expensive.
      
      Restructure the three functions such that the flow better matches the
      logical steps and pwq iteration is done using for_each_pwq() inside
      workqueue iteration.
      
      * freeze_workqueues_begin(): Setting of FREEZING is moved into a
        separate for_each_pool() iteration.  pwq iteration for clearing
        max_active is updated as described above.
      
      * freeze_workqueues_busy(): pwq iteration updated as described above.
      
      * thaw_workqueues(): The single for_each_wq_cpu() iteration is broken
        into three discrete steps - clearing FREEZING, restoring max_active,
        and kicking workers.  The first and last steps use for_each_pool()
        and the second step uses pwq iteration described above.
      
      This makes the code easier to understand and removes the use of
      for_each_wq_cpu() for walking pwqs, which can't support multiple
      unbound pwqs which will be needed to implement unbound workqueues with
      custom attributes.
      
      This patch doesn't introduce any visible behavior changes.

      workqueue: replace for_each_pwq_cpu() with for_each_pwq() · 49e3cf44
      Tejun Heo authored
      Introduce for_each_pwq() which iterates all pool_workqueues of a
      workqueue using the recently added workqueue->pwqs list and replace

      This is primarily to remove the single unbound CPU assumption from pwq
      iteration for the scheduled unbound pools with custom attributes
      support which would introduce multiple unbound pwqs per workqueue;
      however, it also simplifies iterator users.
      
      Note that pwq->pool initialization is moved to alloc_and_link_pwqs()
      as that now is the only place which is explicitly handling the two pwq
      types.

      workqueue: introduce kmem_cache for pool_workqueues · e904e6c2
      Tejun Heo authored
      pool_workqueues need to be aligned to 1 << WORK_STRUCT_FLAG_BITS as
      the lower bits of work->data are used for flags when they're pointing
      to pool_workqueues.
      
      Due to historical reasons, unbound pool_workqueues are allocated using
      kzalloc() with sufficient buffer area for alignment and aligned
      manually.  The original pointer is stored at the end which free_pwqs()
      retrieves when freeing it.
      
      There's no reason for this hackery anymore.  Set alignment of struct
      pool_workqueue to 1 << WORK_STRUCT_FLAG_BITS, add kmem_cache for
      pool_workqueues with proper alignment and replace the hacky alloc and
      free implementation with plain kmem_cache_zalloc/free().
      
      In case WORK_STRUCT_FLAG_BITS gets shrunk too much and makes fields of
      pool_workqueues misaligned, trigger WARN if the alignment of struct
      pool_workqueue becomes smaller than that of long long.
      
      Note that assertion on IS_ALIGNED() is removed from alloc_pwqs().  We
      already have another one in pwq init loop in __alloc_workqueue_key().

      workqueue: make sanity checks less punshing using WARN_ON[_ONCE]()s · 6183c009
      Tejun Heo authored
      Workqueue has been using mostly BUG_ON()s for sanity checks, which
      fail unnecessarily harshly when the assertion doesn't hold.  Most
      assertions can converted to be less drastic such that things can limp
      along instead of dying completely.  Convert BUG_ON()s to
      WARN_ON[_ONCE]()s with softer failure behaviors - e.g. if assertion
      check fails in destroy_worker(), trigger WARN and silently ignore
      destruction request.
      
      Most conversions are trivial.  Note that sanity checks in
      destroy_workqueue() are moved above removal from workqueues list so
      that it can bail out without side-effects if assertion checks fail.

      workqueue: better define synchronization rule around rescuer->pool updates · b3104104
      Lai Jiangshan authored
      Rescuers visit different worker_pools to process work items from pools
      under pressure.  Currently, rescuer->pool is updated outside any
      locking and when an outsider looks at a rescuer, there's no way to
      tell when and whether rescuer->pool is gonna change.  While this
      doesn't currently cause any problem, it is nasty.
      
      With recent worker_maybe_bind_and_lock() changes, we can move
      rescuer->pool updates inside pool locks such that if rescuer->pool
      equals a locked pool, it's guaranteed to stay that way until the pool
      is unlocked.
      
      Move rescuer->pool inside pool->lock.

      workqueue: allow more off-queue flag space · 45d9550a
      Lai Jiangshan authored
      When a work item is off-queue, its work->data contains WORK_STRUCT_*
      and WORK_OFFQ_* flags.  As WORK_OFFQ_* flags are used only while a
      work item is off-queue, it can occupy bits of work->data which aren't
      used while off-queue.  WORK_OFFQ_* currently only use bits used by
      on-queue CWQ pointer.  As color bits aren't used while off-queue,
      there's no reason to not use them.
      
      Lower WORK_OFFQ_FLAG_BASE from WORK_STRUCT_FLAG_BITS to
      WORK_STRUCT_COLOR_SHIFT thus giving 4 more bits to off-queue flag
      space which is also used to record worker_pool ID while off-queue.
