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>

Unbound workqueues are going to be NUMA-affine. Add wq_numa_tbl_len and wq_numa_possible_cpumask[] in preparation. The former is the highest NUMA node ID + 1 and the latter is masks of possibles CPUs for each NUMA node. This patch only introduces these. Future patches will make use of them. v2: NUMA initialization move into wq_numa_init(). Also, the possible cpumask array is not created if there aren't multiple nodes on the system. wq_numa_enabled bool added.

The scheduled NUMA affinity support for unbound workqueues would need to walk workqueues list and pool related operations on each workqueue. Move wq_pool_mutex locking out of get/put_unbound_pool() to their callers so that pool operations can be performed while walking the workqueues list, which is also protected by wq_pool_mutex.

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. It makes a copy of @attrs and clears impossible CPUs before doing anything else. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

8864b4e5 ("workqueue: implement get/put_pwq()") implemented pwq (pool_workqueue) refcnting which frees workqueue when the last pwq goes away. It determined whether it was the last pwq by testing wq->pwqs is empty. Unfortunately, the test was done outside wq->mutex and multiple pwq release could race and try to free wq multiple times leading to oops. Test wq->pwqs emptiness while holding wq->mutex.

We're expanding wq->mutex to cover all fields specific to each workqueue with the end goal of replacing pwq_lock which will make locking simpler and easier to understand. init_and_link_pwq() and pwq_unbound_release_workfn() already grab wq->mutex when adding or removing a pwq from wq->pwqs list. This patch makes it official that the list is wq->mutex protected for writes and updates readers accoridingly. Explicit IRQ toggles for sched-RCU read-locking in flush_workqueue_prep_pwqs() and drain_workqueues() are removed as the surrounding wq->mutex can provide sufficient synchronization. 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(). If pwq_adjust_max_active() increases max_active for an unbound wq, while not strictly necessary for correctness, it's still desirable to wake up a worker so that the requested concurrency level is reached sooner. Move wake_up_worker() call from thaw_workqueues() to pwq_adjust_max_active() so that it can handle both of the above two cases.

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(). This is again to guarantee that only fully working workers are visible to for_each_pool_worker(). Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@cn.fujitsu.com>

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(). It now just holds wq_mutex. This patch shouldn't introduce any visible behavior changes. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

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. Update create_and_start_worker() and put_unbound_pool() to grab manager_mutex around thread creation and destruction respectively and add lockdep assertions to create_worker() and destroy_worker().

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>

Rename pwq_set_max_active() to pwq_adjust_max_active() and move pool_workqueue->max_active synchronization and max_active determination logic into it. The new function should be called with workqueue_lock held for stable workqueue->saved_max_active, determines the current max_active value the target pool_workqueue should be using from @wq->saved_max_active and the state of the associated pool, and applies it with proper synchronization. The current two users - workqueue_set_max_active() and thaw_workqueues() - are updated accordingly. In addition, the manual freezing handling in __alloc_workqueue_key() and freeze_workqueues_begin() are replaced with calls to pwq_adjust_max_active().

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.

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.
