One of the requirements on RCU grace periods is that if there is a causal chain of operations that starts after one grace period and ends before another grace period, then the two grace periods must be serialized. There has been (and might still be) code that relies on this, for example, certain types of reference-counting code that does a call_rcu() within an RCU callback function. This requirement is why there is an smp_mb() at the end of both synchronize_sched_expedited() and synchronize_rcu_expedited(). However, this is the only smp_mb() in these functions, so it would be nicer to consolidate it into rcu_exp_gp_seq_end(). This commit does just that. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

Although synchronize_rcu_expedited() uses a sequence-counter scheme, it is based on a single increment per grace period, which means that tasks piggybacking off of concurrent grace periods may be forced to wait longer than necessary. This commit therefore applies the new sequence-count functions developed for synchronize_sched_expedited() to speed things up a bit and to consolidate the sequence-counter implementation.

This commit creates rcu_exp_gp_seq_start() and rcu_exp_gp_seq_end() to bracket an expedited grace period, rcu_exp_gp_seq_snap() to snapshot the sequence counter, and rcu_exp_gp_seq_done() to check to see if a full expedited grace period has elapsed since the snapshot. These will be applied to synchronize_rcu_expedited(). These are defined in terms of underlying rcu_seq_start(), rcu_seq_end(), rcu_seq_snap(), rcu_seq_done(), which will be applied to _rcu_barrier(). One reason that this commit doesn't use the seqcount primitives themselves is that the smp_wmb() in those primitive is insufficient due to the fact that expedited grace periods do reads as well as writes. In addition, the read-side seqcount primitives detect a potentially partial change, where the expedited primitives instead need a guaranteed full change. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

Sequentially stopping the CPUs slows down expedited grace periods by at least a factor of two, based on rcutorture's grace-period-per-second rate. This is a conservative measure because rcutorture uses unusually long RCU read-side critical sections and because rcutorture periodically quiesces the system in order to test RCU's ability to ramp down to and up from the idle state. This commit therefore replaces the stop_one_cpu() with stop_one_cpu_nowait(), using an atomic-counter scheme to determine when all CPUs have passed through the stopped state.

This commit gets rid of synchronize_sched_expedited()'s mutex_trylock() polling loop in favor of a funnel-locking scheme based on the rcu_node tree. The work-done check is done at each level of the tree, allowing high-contention situations to be resolved quickly with reasonable levels of mutex contention. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Paul E. McKenney authored
Now that synchronize_sched_expedited() have a mutex, it can use simpler work-already-done detection scheme. This commit simplifies this scheme by using something similar to the sequence-locking counter scheme. A counter is incremented before and after each grace period, so that the counter is odd in the midst of the grace period and even otherwise. So if the counter has advanced to the second even number that is greater than or equal to the snapshot, the required grace period has already happened. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

The synchronize_sched_expedited() currently invokes try_stop_cpus(), which schedules the stopper kthreads on each online non-idle CPU, and waits until all those kthreads are running before letting any of them stop. This is disastrous for real-time workloads, which get hit with a preemption that is as long as the longest scheduling latency on any CPU, including any non-realtime housekeeping CPUs. This commit therefore switches to using stop_one_cpu() on each CPU in turn. This avoids inflicting the worst-case scheduling latency on the worst-case CPU onto all other CPUs, and also simplifies the code a little bit. Follow-up commits will simplify the counter-snapshotting algorithm and convert a number of the counters that are now protected by the new ->expedited_mutex to non-atomic.

The CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_INFO has been default-y for a couple of releases with no complaints, so it is time to eliminate this Kconfig option entirely, so that the long-form RCU CPU stall warnings cannot be disabled.

The fact that tasks could be migrated from leaf to root rcu_node structures meant that synchronize_rcu_expedited() had to disable CPU hotplug. However, tasks now stay put, so this commit removes the CPU-hotplug disabling from synchronize_rcu_expedited(). Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Currently if the rcu_fanout_leaf boot parameter is out of bounds (that is, less than RCU_FANOUT_LEAF or greater than the number of bits in an unsigned long), a warning is issued and execution continues with the out-of-bounds value. This can result in all manner of failures, so this patch resets rcu_fanout_leaf to RCU_FANOUT_LEAF when an out-of-bounds condition is detected. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

Because gcc does not realize a loop would not be entered ever (i.e. in case of rcu_num_lvls == 1): for (i = 1; i < rcu_num_lvls; i++) rsp->level[i] = rsp->level[i - 1] + levelcnt[i - 1]; some compiler (pre- 5.x?) versions give a bogus warning: kernel/rcu/tree.c: In function ‘rcu_init_one.isra.55’: kernel/rcu/tree.c:4108:13: warning: array subscript is above array bounds [-Warray-bounds] rsp->level[i] = rsp->level[i - 1] + rsp->levelcnt[i - 1]; ^ Fix that warning by adding an extra item to rcu_state::level[] array. Once the bogus warning is fixed in gcc and kernel drops support of older versions, the dummy item may be removed from the array. Cc: "Paul E.

Number of items in rcu_capacity[] array is defined by macro MAX_RCU_LVLS. However, that array is never accessed beyond RCU_NUM_LVLS index. Therefore, we can limit the array to RCU_NUM_LVLS items and eliminate MAX_RCU_LVLS. As result, in most cases the memory is conserved. Cc: "Paul E.

Variable rcu_num_lvls is limited by RCU_NUM_LVLS macro. In turn, rcu_state::levelcnt[] array is never accessed beyond rcu_num_lvls. Thus, rcu_state::levelcnt[] is safe to limit to RCU_NUM_LVLS items. Since rcu_num_lvls could be changed during boot (as result of rcutree.rcu_fanout_leaf kernel parameter update) one might assume a new value could overflow the value of RCU_NUM_LVLS. However, that is not the case, since leaf-level fanout is only permitted to increase, resulting in rcu_num_lvls possibly to decrease. Cc: "Paul E.

This update simplifies rcu_init_geometry() code flow and makes calculation of the total number of rcu_node structures more easy to read. The update relies on the fact num_rcu_lvl[] is never accessed beyond rcu_num_lvls index by the rest of the code. Therefore, there is no need initialize the whole num_rcu_lvl[]. Cc: "Paul E.

Currently a condition when RCU tree is unable to accommodate the configured number of CPUs is not permitted and causes a fall back to compile-time values. However, the code has no means to exceed the RCU tree capacity neither at compile-time nor in run-time. Therefore, if the condition is met in run- time then it indicates a serios problem elsewhere and should be handled with a panic. Cc: "Paul E.

Commit 835a6a2f ("Bluetooth: Stop sabotaging list poisoning") thought that the code was sabotaging the list poisoning when NULL'ing out the list pointers and removed it. But what was going on was that the bluetooth code was using NULL pointers for the list as a way to mark it empty, and that commit just broke it (and replaced the test with NULL with a "list_empty()" test on a uninitialized list instead, breaking things even further). So fix it all up to use the regular and real list_empty() handling (which does not use NULL, but a pointer to itself), also making sure to initialize the list properly (the previous NULL case was initialized implicitly by the session being allocated with kzalloc()) This is a combination of patches by Marcel Holtmann and Tedd Ho-Jeong An.

Pull SCSI target updates from Nicholas Bellinger: "It's been a busy development cycle for target-core in a number of different areas. The fabric API usage for se_node_acl allocation is now within target-core code, dropping the external API callers for all fabric drivers tree-wide. There is a new conversion to RCU hlists for se_node_acl and se_portal_group LUN mappings, that turns fast-past LUN lookup into a completely lockless code-path. It also removes the original hard-coded limitation of 256 LUNs per fabric endpoint. The configfs attributes for backends can now be shared between core and driver code, allowing existing drivers to use common code while still allowing flexibility for new backend provided attributes. The highlights include: - Merge sbc_verify_dif_* into common code (sagi) - Remove iscsi-target support for obsolete IFMarker/OFMarker (Christophe Vu-Brugier) - Add bidi support in target/user backend (ilias + vangelis + agover) - Move se_node_acl allocation into target-core code (hch) - Add crc_t10dif_update common helper (akinobu + mkp) - Handle target-core odd SGL mapping for data transfer memory (akinobu) - Move transport ID handling into target-core (hch) - Move task tag into struct se_cmd + support 64-bit tags (bart) - Convert se_node_acl->device_list[] to RCU hlist (nab + hch + paulmck) - Convert se_portal_group->tpg_lun_list[] to RCU hlist (nab + hch + paulmck) - Simplify target backend driver registration (hch) - Consolidate + simplify target backend attribute implementations (hch + nab) - Subsume se_port + t10_alua_tg_pt_gp_member into se_lun (hch) - Drop lun_sep_lock for se_lun->lun_se_dev RCU usage (hch + nab) - Drop unnecessary core_tpg_register TFO parameter (nab) - Use 64-bit LUNs tree-wide (hannes) - Drop left-over TARGET_MAX_LUNS_PER_TRANSPORT limit (hannes)" * 'for-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nab/target-pending: (76 commits) target: Bump core version to v5.0 target: remove target_core_configfs.h target: remove unused TARGET_CORE_CONFIG_ROOT define target: consolidate version defines target: implement WRITE_SAME with UNMAP bit using ->execute_unmap target: simplify UNMAP handling target: replace se_cmd->execute_rw with a protocol_data field target/user: Fix inconsistent kmap_atomic/kunmap_atomic target: Send UA when changing LUN inventory target: Send UA upon LUN RESET tmr completion target: Send UA on ALUA target port group change target: Convert se_lun->lun_deve_lock to normal spinlock target: use 'se_dev_entry' when allocating UAs target: Remove 'ua_nacl' pointer from se_ua structure target_core_alua: Correct UA handling when switching states xen-scsiback: Fix compile warning for 64-bit LUN target: Remove TARGET_MAX_LUNS_PER_TRANSPORT target: use 64-bit LUNs target: Drop duplicate + unused se_dev_check_wce target: Drop unnecessary core_tpg_register TFO parameter ...
