Currently, an unbound workqueue has single current, or first, pwq (pool_workqueue) to which all new work items are queued. This often isn't optimal on NUMA machines as workers may jump around across node boundaries and work items get assigned to workers without any regard to NUMA affinity. This patch implements NUMA affinity for unbound workqueues. Instead of mapping all entries of numa_pwq_tbl[] to the same pwq, apply_workqueue_attrs() now creates a separate pwq covering the intersecting CPUs for each NUMA node which has online CPUs in @attrs->cpumask. Nodes which don't have intersecting possible CPUs are mapped to pwqs covering whole @attrs->cpumask. As CPUs come up and go down, the pool association is changed accordingly. Changing pool association may involve allocating new pools which may fail. To avoid failing CPU_DOWN, each workqueue always keeps a default pwq which covers whole attrs->cpumask which is used as fallback if pool creation fails during a CPU hotplug operation. This ensures that all work items issued on a NUMA node is executed on the same node as long as the workqueue allows execution on the CPUs of the node. As this maps a workqueue to multiple pwqs and max_active is per-pwq, this change the behavior of max_active. The limit is now per NUMA node instead of global. While this is an actual change, max_active is already per-cpu for per-cpu workqueues and primarily used as safety mechanism rather than for active concurrency control. Concurrency is usually limited from workqueue users by the number of concurrently active work items and this change shouldn't matter much. v2: Fixed pwq freeing in apply_workqueue_attrs() error path. Spotted by Lai. v3: The previous version incorrectly made a workqueue spanning multiple nodes spread work items over all online CPUs when some of its nodes don't have any desired cpus. Reimplemented so that NUMA affinity is properly updated as CPUs go up and down. This problem was spotted by Lai Jiangshan. v4: destroy_workqueue() was putting wq->dfl_pwq and then clearing it; however, wq may be freed at any time after dfl_pwq is put making the clearing use-after-free. Clear wq->dfl_pwq before putting it. v5: apply_workqueue_attrs() was leaking @tmp_attrs, @new_attrs and @pwq_tbl after success. Fixed. Retry loop in wq_update_unbound_numa_attrs() isn't necessary as application of new attrs is excluded via CPU hotplug. Removed. Documentation on CPU affinity guarantee on CPU_DOWN added. All changes are suggested by Lai Jiangshan. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@cn.fujitsu.com>

Factor out pool_workqueue linking and installation into numa_pwq_tbl[] from apply_workqueue_attrs() into numa_pwq_tbl_install(). link_pwq() is made safe to call multiple times. numa_pwq_tbl_install() links the pwq, installs it into numa_pwq_tbl[] at the specified node and returns the old entry. @last_pwq is removed from link_pwq() as the return value of the new function can be used instead.

Currently, an unbound workqueue has only one "current" pool_workqueue associated with it. It may have multple pool_workqueues but only the first pool_workqueue servies new work items. For NUMA affinity, we want to change this so that there are multiple current pool_workqueues serving different NUMA nodes. Introduce workqueue->numa_pwq_tbl[] which is indexed by NUMA node and points to the pool_workqueue to use for each possible node. This replaces first_pwq() in __queue_work() and workqueue_congested(). numa_pwq_tbl[] is currently initialized to point to the same pool_workqueue as first_pwq() so this patch doesn't make any behavior changes. v2: Use rcu_dereference_raw() in unbound_pwq_by_node() as the function may be called only with wq->mutex held.

Move wq->flags and ->cpu_pwqs to the end of workqueue_struct and align them to the cacheline. These two fields are used in the work item issue path and thus hot. The scheduled NUMA affinity support will add dispatch table at the end of workqueue_struct and relocating these two fields will allow us hitting only single cacheline on hot paths. Note that wq->pwqs isn't moved although it currently is being used in the work item issue path for unbound workqueues. The dispatch table mentioned above will replace its use in the issue path, so it will become cold once NUMA support is implemented.

Currently, when exposing attrs of an unbound workqueue via sysfs, the workqueue_attrs of first_pwq() is used as that should equal the current state of the workqueue. The planned NUMA affinity support will make unbound workqueues make use of multiple pool_workqueues for different NUMA nodes and the above assumption will no longer hold. Introduce workqueue->unbound_attrs which records the current attrs in effect and use it for sysfs instead of first_pwq()->attrs.

When worker tasks are created using kthread_create_on_node(), currently only per-cpu ones have the matching NUMA node specified. All unbound workers are always created with NUMA_NO_NODE. Now that an unbound worker pool may have an arbitrary cpumask associated with it, this isn't optimal. Add pool->node which is determined by the pool's cpumask. If the pool's cpumask is contained inside a NUMA node proper, the pool is associated with that node, and all workers of the pool are created on that node. This currently only makes difference for unbound worker pools with cpumask contained inside single NUMA node, but this will serve as foundation for making all unbound pools NUMA-affine.

Currently, all workqueue workers which have negative nice value has 'H' postfixed to their names. This is necessary for per-cpu workers as they use the CPU number instead of pool->id to identify the pool and the 'H' postfix is the only thing distinguishing normal and highpri workers. As workers for unbound pools use pool->id, the 'H' postfix is purely informational. TASK_COMM_LEN is 16 and after the static part and delimiters, there are only five characters left for the pool and worker IDs. We're expecting to have more unbound pools with the scheduled NUMA awareness support. Let's drop the non-essential 'H' postfix from unbound kworker name. While at it, restructure kthread_create*() invocation to help future NUMA related changes. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@cn.fujitsu.com>

29c91e99 ("workqueue: implement attribute-based unbound worker_pool management") implemented attrs based worker_pool matching. It tried to avoid false negative when comparing cpumasks with custom hash function; unfortunately, the hash and comparison functions fail to ignore CPUs which are not possible. It incorrectly assumed that bitmap_copy() skips leftover bits in the last word of bitmap and cpumask_equal() ignores impossible CPUs. This patch updates attrs->cpumask handling such that impossible CPUs are properly ignored. * Hash and copy functions no longer do anything special. They expect their callers to clear impossible CPUs. * alloc_workqueue_attrs() initializes the cpumask to cpu_possible_mask instead of setting all bits and explicit cpumask_setall() for unbound_std_wq_attrs[] in init_workqueues() is dropped. * apply_workqueue_attrs() is now responsible for ignoring impossible CPUs.

Also, assert_rcu_or_pwq_lock() is renamed to assert_rcu_or_wq_mutex() and checks for wq->mutex too. pwq_lock locking and assertion are not removed by this patch and a couple of for_each_pwq() iterations are still protected by it.

If pwq_adjust_max_active() changes max_active from 0 to saved_max_active, it needs to wakeup worker. This is already done by thaw_workqueues().

With the recent addition of the custom attributes support, unbound pools may have allowed cpumask which isn't full. As long as some of CPUs in the cpumask are online, its workers will maintain cpus_allowed as set on worker creation; however, once no online CPU is left in cpus_allowed, the scheduler will reset cpus_allowed of any workers which get scheduled so that they can execute. To remain compliant to the user-specified configuration, CPU affinity needs to be restored when a CPU becomes online for an unbound pool which doesn't currently have any online CPUs before. This patch implement restore_unbound_workers_cpumask(), which is called from CPU_ONLINE for all unbound pools, checks whether the coming up CPU is the first allowed online one, and, if so, invokes set_cpus_allowed_ptr() with the configured cpumask on all workers.

Rebinding workers of a per-cpu pool after a CPU comes online involves a lot of back-and-forth mostly because only the task itself could adjust CPU affinity if PF_THREAD_BOUND was set. As CPU_ONLINE itself couldn't adjust affinity, it had to somehow coerce the workers themselves to perform set_cpus_allowed_ptr(). Due to the various states a worker can be in, this led to three different paths a worker may be rebound. worker->rebind_work is queued to busy workers. Idle ones are signaled by unlinking worker->entry and call idle_worker_rebind(). The manager isn't covered by either and implements its own mechanism. PF_THREAD_BOUND has been relaced with PF_NO_SETAFFINITY and CPU_ONLINE itself now can manipulate CPU affinity of workers. This patch replaces the existing rebind mechanism with direct one where CPU_ONLINE iterates over all workers using for_each_pool_worker(), restores CPU affinity, and clears WORKER_UNBOUND. There are a couple subtleties. All bound idle workers should have their runqueues set to that of the bound CPU; however, if the target task isn't running, set_cpus_allowed_ptr() just updates the cpus_allowed mask deferring the actual migration to when the task wakes up. This is worked around by waking up idle workers after restoring CPU affinity before any workers can become bound. Another subtlety is stems from matching @pool->nr_running with the number of running unbound workers. While DISASSOCIATED, all workers are unbound and nr_running is zero. As workers become bound again, nr_running needs to be adjusted accordingly; however, there is no good way to tell whether a given worker is running without poking into scheduler internals. Instead of clearing UNBOUND directly, rebind_workers() replaces UNBOUND with another new NOT_RUNNING flag - REBOUND, which will later be cleared by the workers themselves while preparing for the next round of work item execution. The only change needed for the workers is clearing REBOUND along with PREP. * This patch leaves for_each_busy_worker() without any user. Removed. * idle_worker_rebind(), busy_worker_rebind_fn(), worker->rebind_work and rebind logic in manager_workers() removed. * worker_thread() now looks at WORKER_DIE instead of testing whether @worker->entry is empty to determine whether it needs to do something special as dying is the only special thing now.

Make worker_ida an idr - worker_idr and use it to implement for_each_pool_worker() which will be used to simplify worker rebinding on CPU_ONLINE. pool->worker_idr is protected by both pool->manager_mutex and pool->lock so that it can be iterated while holding either lock. * create_worker() allocates ID without installing worker pointer and installs the pointer later using idr_replace(). This is because worker ID is needed when creating the actual task to name it and the new worker shouldn't be visible to iterations before fully initialized. * In destroy_worker(), ID removal is moved before kthread_stop().

PF_THREAD_BOUND was originally used to mark kernel threads which were bound to a specific CPU using kthread_bind() and a task with the flag set allows cpus_allowed modifications only to itself. Workqueue is currently abusing it to prevent userland from meddling with cpus_allowed of workqueue workers. What we need is a flag to prevent userland from messing with cpus_allowed of certain kernel tasks. In kernel, anyone can (incorrectly) squash the flag, and, for worker-type usages, restricting cpus_allowed modification to the task itself doesn't provide meaningful extra proection as other tasks can inject work items to the task anyway. This patch replaces PF_THREAD_BOUND with PF_NO_SETAFFINITY. sched_setaffinity() checks the flag and return -EINVAL if set. set_cpus_allowed_ptr() is no longer affected by the flag. This will allow simplifying workqueue worker CPU affinity management.

Currently, workqueue_lock protects most shared workqueue resources - the pools, workqueues, pool_workqueues, draining, ID assignments, mayday handling and so on. The coverage has grown organically and there is no identified bottleneck coming from workqueue_lock, but it has grown a bit too much and scheduled rebinding changes need the pools and workqueues to be protected by a mutex instead of a spinlock. This patch breaks out pool and workqueue synchronization from workqueue_lock into a new mutex - wq_mutex. The followings are protected by wq_mutex. * worker_pool_idr and unbound_pool_hash * pool->refcnt * workqueues list * workqueue->flags, ->nr_drainers Most changes are mostly straight-forward. workqueue_lock is replaced with wq_mutex where applicable and workqueue_lock lock/unlocks are added where wq_mutex conversion leaves data structures not protected by wq_mutex without locking. irq / preemption flippings were added where the conversion affects them. Things worth noting are * New WQ and WR locking lables added along with assert_rcu_or_wq_mutex(). * worker_pool_assign_id() now expects to be called under wq_mutex. * create_mutex is removed from get_unbound_pool().

When a manager creates or destroys workers, the operations are always done with the manager_mutex held; however, initial worker creation or worker destruction during pool release don't grab the mutex. They are still correct as initial worker creation doesn't require synchronization and grabbing manager_arb provides enough exclusion for pool release path. Still, let's make everyone follow the same rules for consistency and such that lockdep annotations can be added.

Manager operations are currently governed by two mutexes - pool->manager_arb and ->assoc_mutex. The former is used to decide who gets to be the manager and the latter to exclude the actual manager operations including creation and destruction of workers. Anyone who grabs ->manager_arb must perform manager role; otherwise, the pool might stall. Grabbing ->assoc_mutex blocks everyone else from performing manager operations but doesn't require the holder to perform manager duties as it's merely blocking manager operations without becoming the manager. Because the blocking was necessary when [dis]associating per-cpu workqueues during CPU hotplug events, the latter was named assoc_mutex. The mutex is scheduled to be used for other purposes, so this patch gives it a more fitting generic name - manager_mutex - and updates / adds comments to explain synchronization around the manager role and operations. This patch is pure rename / doc update. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
