      workqueue: restructure __alloc_workqueue_key() · d2c1d404
      Tejun Heo authored
      * Move initialization and linking of pool_workqueues into
        init_and_link_pwq().
      
      * Make the failure path use destroy_workqueue() once pool_workqueue
        initialization succeeds.
      
      These changes are to prepare for dynamic management of pool_workqueues
      and don't introduce any functional changes.
      
      While at it, convert list_del(&wq->list) to list_del_init() as a
      precaution as scheduled changes will make destruction more complex.

      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
      destroy_workqueue().  This is a precaution as scheduled changes will
      make destruction more complex.
      
      This patch doesn't introduce any functional changes.

      workqueue: remove unbound_std_worker_pools[] and related helpers · 7a62c2c8
      Tejun Heo authored
      Workqueue no longer makes use of unbound_std_worker_pools[].  All

      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.
      
          All changes were suggested by Lai Jiangshan.

      workqueue: introduce workqueue_attrs · 7a4e344c
      Tejun Heo authored
      Introduce struct workqueue_attrs which carries worker attributes -
      currently the nice level and allowed cpumask along with helper
      routines alloc_workqueue_attrs() and free_workqueue_attrs().
      
      Each worker_pool now carries ->attrs describing the attributes of its
      workers.  All functions dealing with cpumask and nice level of workers
      are updated to follow worker_pool->attrs instead of determining them
      from other characteristics of the worker_pool, and init_workqueues()
      is updated to set worker_pool->attrs appropriately for all standard
      pools.
      
      Note that create_worker() is updated to always perform set_user_nice()
      and use set_cpus_allowed_ptr() combined with manual assertion of
      PF_THREAD_BOUND instead of kthread_bind().  This simplifies handling
      random attributes without affecting the outcome.
      
      This patch doesn't introduce any behavior changes.

      workqueue: replace POOL_MANAGING_WORKERS flag with worker_pool->manager_arb · 34a06bd6
      Tejun Heo authored
      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
      morphed into workqueue->assoc_mutex - 552a37e9 ("workqueue: restore
      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
      worker_pool->manager_arb.

      Make worker_pool_idr protected by workqueue_lock for writes and

      for_each_pool() and get_work_pool() and all their users are converted
      to either hold workqueue_lock or disable preemption/irq.
      
      worker_pool_assign_id() is updated to hold workqueue_lock when
      allocating a pool ID.  As idr_get_new() always performs RCU-safe
      assignment, this is enough on the writer side.
      
      As standard pools are never destroyed, there's nothing to do on that
      side.

      workqueue: replace get_pwq() with explicit per_cpu_ptr() accesses and first_pwq() · 7fb98ea7
      Tejun Heo authored
      get_pwq() takes @cpu, which can also be WORK_CPU_UNBOUND, and @wq and
      returns the matching pwq (pool_workqueue).  We want to move away from
      using @cpu for identifying pools and pwqs for unbound pools with
      custom attributes and there is only one user - workqueue_congested() -
      which makes use of the WQ_UNBOUND conditional in get_pwq().  All other
      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.

      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

      attributes.
      
      Add workqueue_struct->maydays.  When a pool_workqueue needs rescuing,

      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.

      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.
      
      This patch doesn't introduce any visible behavior changes during
      normal operation.

      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.
      
      This patch doesn't introduce any visible behavior difference.

      workqueue: change argument of worker_maybe_bind_and_lock() to @pool · f36dc67b
      Lai Jiangshan authored
      worker_maybe_bind_and_lock() currently takes @worker but only cares
      about @worker->pool.  This patch updates worker_maybe_bind_and_lock()
      to take @pool instead of @worker.  This will be used to better define
      synchronization rules regarding rescuer->pool updates.
      
      This doesn't introduce any functional change.

      workqueue: use %current instead of worker->task in worker_maybe_bind_and_lock() · f5faa077
      Lai Jiangshan authored
      worker_maybe_bind_and_lock() uses both @worker->task and @current at
      the same time.  As worker_maybe_bind_and_lock() can only be called by
      the current worker task, they are always the same.
      
      Update worker_maybe_bind_and_lock() to use %current consistently.

      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.
      
      This doesn't introduce any visible behavior difference.
      
      tj: Rewrote the description.
