include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

generic-ipi: remove kmalloc() Remove the use of kmalloc() from the smp_call_function_*() calls. Steven's generic-ipi patch (d7240b98: generic-ipi: use per cpu data for single cpu ipi calls) started the discussion on the use of kmalloc() in this code and fixed the smp_call_function_single(.wait=0) fallback case. In this patch we complete this by also providing means for the _many() call, which fully removes the need for kmalloc() in this code. The problem with the _many() call is that other cpus might still be observing our entry when we're done with it. It solved this by dynamically allocating data elements and RCU-freeing it. We solve it by using a single per-cpu entry which provides static storage and solves one half of the problem (avoiding referencing freed data). The other half, ensuring the queue iteration it still possible, is done by placing re-used entries at the head of the list. This means that if someone was still iterating that entry when it got moved, he will now re-visit the entries on the list he had already seen, but avoids skipping over entries like would have happened had we placed the new entry at the end. Furthermore, visiting entries twice is not a problem, since we remove our cpu from the entry's cpumask once its called.

locking/csd_lock: Add more data to CSD lock debugging In order to help identifying problems with IPI handling and remote function execution add some more data to IPI debugging code. There have been multiple reports of CPUs looping long times (many seconds) in smp_call_function_many() waiting for another CPU executing a function like tlb flushing. Most of these reports have been for cases where the kernel was running as a guest on top of KVM or Xen (there are rumours of that happening under VMWare, too, and even on bare metal). Finding the root cause hasn't been successful yet, even after more than 2 years of chasing this bug by different developers. Commit: 35feb60474bf4f7 ("kernel/smp: Provide CSD lock timeout diagnostics") tried to address this by adding some debug code and by issuing another IPI when a hang was detected. This helped mitigating the problem (the repeated IPI unlocks the hang), but the root cause is still unknown. Current available data suggests that either an IPI wasn't sent when it should have been, or that the IPI didn't result in the target CPU executing the queued function (due to the IPI not reaching the CPU, the IPI handler not being called, or the handler not seeing the queued request). Try to add more diagnostic data by introducing a global atomic counter which is being incremented when doing critical operations (before and after queueing a new request, when sending an IPI, and when dequeueing a request). The counter value is stored in percpu variables which can be printed out when a hang is detected. The data of the last event (consisting of sequence counter, source CPU, target CPU, and event type) is stored in a global variable. When a new event is to be traced, the data of the last event is stored in the event related percpu location and the global data is updated with the new event's data. This allows to track two events in one data location: one by the value of the event data (the event before the current one), and one by the location itself (the current event). A typical printout with a detected hang will look like this: csd: Detected non-responsive CSD lock (#1) on CPU#1, waiting 5000000003 ns for CPU#06 scf_handler_1+0x0/0x50(0xffffa2a881bb1410). csd: CSD lock (#1) handling prior scf_handler_1+0x0/0x50(0xffffa2a8813823c0) request. csd: cnt(00008cc): ffff->0000 dequeue (src cpu 0 == empty) csd: cnt(00008cd): ffff->0006 idle csd: cnt(0003668): 0001->0006 queue csd: cnt(0003669): 0001->0006 ipi csd: cnt(0003e0f): 0007->000a queue csd: cnt(0003e10): 0001->ffff ping csd: cnt(0003e71): 0003->0000 ping csd: cnt(0003e72): ffff->0006 gotipi csd: cnt(0003e73): ffff->0006 handle csd: cnt(0003e74): ffff->0006 dequeue (src cpu 0 == empty) csd: cnt(0003e7f): 0004->0006 ping csd: cnt(0003e80): 0001->ffff pinged csd: cnt(0003eb2): 0005->0001 noipi csd: cnt(0003eb3): 0001->0006 queue csd: cnt(0003eb4): 0001->0006 noipi csd: cnt now: 0003f00 The idea is to print only relevant entries.

smp: Avoid sending needless IPI in smp_call_function_many() Inter-Processor-Interrupt(IPI) is needed when a page is unmapped and the process' mm_cpumask() shows the process has ever run on other CPUs. page migration, page reclaim all need IPIs. The number of IPI needed to send to different CPUs is especially large for multi-threaded workload since mm_cpumask() is per process. For smp_call_function_many(), whenever a CPU queues a CSD to a target CPU, it will send an IPI to let the target CPU to handle the work. This isn't necessary - we need only send IPI when queueing a CSD to an empty call_single_queue. The reason: flush_smp_call_function_queue() that is called upon a CPU receiving an IPI will empty the queue and then handle all of the CSDs there. So if the target CPU's call_single_queue is not empty, we know that: i. An IPI for the target CPU has already been sent by 'previous queuers'; ii. flush_smp_call_function_queue() hasn't emptied that CPU's queue yet. Thus, it's safe for us to just queue our CSD there without sending an addtional IPI. And for the 'previous queuers', we can limit it to the first queuer. To demonstrate the effect of this patch, a multi-thread workload that spawns 80 threads to equally consume 100G memory is used. This is tested on a 2 node broadwell-EP which has 44cores/88threads and 32G memory. So after 32G memory is used up, page reclaiming starts to happen a lot. With this patch, IPI number dropped 88% and throughput increased about 15% for the above workload.

CPU hotplug, smp: flush any pending IPI callbacks before CPU offline There is a race between the CPU offline code (within stop-machine) and the smp-call-function code, which can lead to getting IPIs on the outgoing CPU, *after* it has gone offline. Specifically, this can happen when using smp_call_function_single_async() to send the IPI, since this API allows sending asynchronous IPIs from IRQ disabled contexts. The exact race condition is described below. During CPU offline, in stop-machine, we don't enforce any rule in the _DISABLE_IRQ stage, regarding the order in which the outgoing CPU and the other CPUs disable their local interrupts. Due to this, we can encounter a situation in which an IPI is sent by one of the other CPUs to the outgoing CPU (while it is *still* online), but the outgoing CPU ends up noticing it only *after* it has gone offline. CPU 1 CPU 2 (Online CPU) (CPU going offline) Enter _PREPARE stage Enter _PREPARE stage Enter _DISABLE_IRQ stage = Got a device interrupt, and | Didn't notice the IPI the interrupt handler sent an | since interrupts were IPI to CPU 2 using | disabled on this CPU. smp_call_function_single_async() | = Enter _DISABLE_IRQ stage Enter _RUN stage Enter _RUN stage = Busy loop with interrupts | Invoke take_cpu_down() disabled. | and take CPU 2 offline = Enter _EXIT stage Enter _EXIT stage Re-enable interrupts Re-enable interrupts The pending IPI is noted immediately, but alas, the CPU is offline at this point. This of course, makes the smp-call-function IPI handler code running on CPU 2 unhappy and it complains about "receiving an IPI on an offline CPU". One real example of the scenario on CPU 1 is the block layer's complete-request call-path: __blk_complete_request() [interrupt-handler] raise_blk_irq() smp_call_function_single_async() However, if we look closely, the block layer does check that the target CPU is online before firing the IPI. So in this case, it is actually the unfortunate ordering/timing of events in the stop-machine phase that leads to receiving IPIs after the target CPU has gone offline. In reality, getting a late IPI on an offline CPU is not too bad by itself (this can happen even due to hardware latencies in IPI send-receive). It is a bug only if the target CPU really went offline without executing all the callbacks queued on its list. (Note that a CPU is free to execute its pending smp-call-function callbacks in a batch, without waiting for the corresponding IPIs to arrive for each one of those callbacks). So, fixing this issue can be broken up into two parts: 1. Ensure that a CPU goes offline only after executing all the callbacks queued on it. 2. Modify the warning condition in the smp-call-function IPI handler code such that it warns only if an offline CPU got an IPI *and* that CPU had gone offline with callbacks still pending in its queue. Achieving part 1 is straight-forward - just flush (execute) all the queued callbacks on the outgoing CPU in the CPU_DYING stage[1], including those callbacks for which the source CPU's IPIs might not have been received on the outgoing CPU yet. Once we do this, an IPI that arrives late on the CPU going offline (either due to the race mentioned above, or due to hardware latencies) will be completely harmless, since the outgoing CPU would have executed all the queued callbacks before going offline. Overall, this fix (parts 1 and 2 put together) additionally guarantees that we will see a warning only when the *IPI-sender code* is buggy - that is, if it queues the callback _after_ the target CPU has gone offline. [1]. The CPU_DYING part needs a little more explanation: by the time we execute the CPU_DYING notifier callbacks, the CPU would have already been marked offline. But we want to flush out the pending callbacks at this stage, ignoring the fact that the CPU is offline. So restructure the IPI handler code so that we can by-pass the "is-cpu-offline?" check in this particular case. (Of course, the right solution here is to fix CPU hotplug to mark the CPU offline _after_ invoking the CPU_DYING notifiers, but this requires a lot of audit to ensure that this change doesn't break any existing code; hence lets go with the solution proposed above until that is done).

The number of IPI needed to send to different CPUs is especially large for multi-threaded workload since mm_cpumask() is per process. For smp_call_function_many(), whenever a CPU queues a CSD to a target CPU, it will send an IPI to let the target CPU to handle the work. This isn't necessary - we need only send IPI when queueing a CSD to an empty call_single_queue. The reason: flush_smp_call_function_queue() that is called upon a CPU receiving an IPI will empty the queue and then handle all of the CSDs there. So if the target CPU's call_single_queue is not empty, we know that: i. An IPI for the target CPU has already been sent by 'previous queuers'; ii. flush_smp_call_function_queue() hasn't emptied that CPU's queue yet. Thus, it's safe for us to just queue our CSD there without sending an addtional IPI. And for the 'previous queuers', we can limit it to the first queuer. To demonstrate the effect of this patch, a multi-thread workload that spawns 80 threads to equally consume 100G memory is used. This is tested on a 2 node broadwell-EP which has 44cores/88threads and 32G memory. So after 32G memory is used up, page reclaiming starts to happen a lot. With this patch, IPI number dropped 88% and throughput increased about 15% for the above workload.

generic-ipi: remove kmalloc() Remove the use of kmalloc() from the smp_call_function_*() calls. Steven's generic-ipi patch (d7240b98: generic-ipi: use per cpu data for single cpu ipi calls) started the discussion on the use of kmalloc() in this code and fixed the smp_call_function_single(.wait=0) fallback case. In this patch we complete this by also providing means for the _many() call, which fully removes the need for kmalloc() in this code. The problem with the _many() call is that other cpus might still be observing our entry when we're done with it. It solved this by dynamically allocating data elements and RCU-freeing it. We solve it by using a single per-cpu entry which provides static storage and solves one half of the problem (avoiding referencing freed data). The other half, ensuring the queue iteration it still possible, is done by placing re-used entries at the head of the list. This means that if someone was still iterating that entry when it got moved, he will now re-visit the entries on the list he had already seen, but avoids skipping over entries like would have happened had we placed the new entry at the end. Furthermore, visiting entries twice is not a problem, since we remove our cpu from the entry's cpumask once its called.

generic-ipi: Fix kexec boot crash by initializing call_single_queue before enabling interrupts There is a problem that kdump(2nd kernel) sometimes hangs up due to a pending IPI from 1st kernel. Kernel panic occurs because IPI comes before call_single_queue is initialized. To fix the crash, rename init_call_single_data() to call_function_init() and call it in start_kernel() so that call_single_queue can be initialized before enabling interrupts. The details of the crash are: (1) 2nd kernel boots up (2) A pending IPI from 1st kernel comes when irqs are first enabled in start_kernel(). (3) Kernel tries to handle the interrupt, but call_single_queue is not initialized yet at this point. As a result, in the generic_smp_call_function_single_interrupt(), NULL pointer dereference occurs when list_replace_init() tries to access &q->list.next. Therefore this patch changes the name of init_call_single_data() to call_function_init() and calls it before local_irq_enable() in start_kernel().

locking/csd_lock: Add more data to CSD lock debugging In order to help identifying problems with IPI handling and remote function execution add some more data to IPI debugging code. There have been multiple reports of CPUs looping long times (many seconds) in smp_call_function_many() waiting for another CPU executing a function like tlb flushing. Most of these reports have been for cases where the kernel was running as a guest on top of KVM or Xen (there are rumours of that happening under VMWare, too, and even on bare metal). Finding the root cause hasn't been successful yet, even after more than 2 years of chasing this bug by different developers. Commit: 35feb60474bf4f7 ("kernel/smp: Provide CSD lock timeout diagnostics") tried to address this by adding some debug code and by issuing another IPI when a hang was detected. This helped mitigating the problem (the repeated IPI unlocks the hang), but the root cause is still unknown. Current available data suggests that either an IPI wasn't sent when it should have been, or that the IPI didn't result in the target CPU executing the queued function (due to the IPI not reaching the CPU, the IPI handler not being called, or the handler not seeing the queued request). Try to add more diagnostic data by introducing a global atomic counter which is being incremented when doing critical operations (before and after queueing a new request, when sending an IPI, and when dequeueing a request). The counter value is stored in percpu variables which can be printed out when a hang is detected. The data of the last event (consisting of sequence counter, source CPU, target CPU, and event type) is stored in a global variable. When a new event is to be traced, the data of the last event is stored in the event related percpu location and the global data is updated with the new event's data. This allows to track two events in one data location: one by the value of the event data (the event before the current one), and one by the location itself (the current event). A typical printout with a detected hang will look like this: csd: Detected non-responsive CSD lock (#1) on CPU#1, waiting 5000000003 ns for CPU#06 scf_handler_1+0x0/0x50(0xffffa2a881bb1410). csd: CSD lock (#1) handling prior scf_handler_1+0x0/0x50(0xffffa2a8813823c0) request. csd: cnt(00008cc): ffff->0000 dequeue (src cpu 0 == empty) csd: cnt(00008cd): ffff->0006 idle csd: cnt(0003668): 0001->0006 queue csd: cnt(0003669): 0001->0006 ipi csd: cnt(0003e0f): 0007->000a queue csd: cnt(0003e10): 0001->ffff ping csd: cnt(0003e71): 0003->0000 ping csd: cnt(0003e72): ffff->0006 gotipi csd: cnt(0003e73): ffff->0006 handle csd: cnt(0003e74): ffff->0006 dequeue (src cpu 0 == empty) csd: cnt(0003e7f): 0004->0006 ping csd: cnt(0003e80): 0001->ffff pinged csd: cnt(0003eb2): 0005->0001 noipi csd: cnt(0003eb3): 0001->0006 queue csd: cnt(0003eb4): 0001->0006 noipi csd: cnt now: 0003f00 The idea is to print only relevant entries.

locking/csd_lock: Add more data to CSD lock debugging In order to help identifying problems with IPI handling and remote function execution add some more data to IPI debugging code. There have been multiple reports of CPUs looping long times (many seconds) in smp_call_function_many() waiting for another CPU executing a function like tlb flushing. Most of these reports have been for cases where the kernel was running as a guest on top of KVM or Xen (there are rumours of that happening under VMWare, too, and even on bare metal). Finding the root cause hasn't been successful yet, even after more than 2 years of chasing this bug by different developers. Commit: 35feb60474bf4f7 ("kernel/smp: Provide CSD lock timeout diagnostics") tried to address this by adding some debug code and by issuing another IPI when a hang was detected. This helped mitigating the problem (the repeated IPI unlocks the hang), but the root cause is still unknown. Current available data suggests that either an IPI wasn't sent when it should have been, or that the IPI didn't result in the target CPU executing the queued function (due to the IPI not reaching the CPU, the IPI handler not being called, or the handler not seeing the queued request). Try to add more diagnostic data by introducing a global atomic counter which is being incremented when doing critical operations (before and after queueing a new request, when sending an IPI, and when dequeueing a request). The counter value is stored in percpu variables which can be printed out when a hang is detected. The data of the last event (consisting of sequence counter, source CPU, target CPU, and event type) is stored in a global variable. When a new event is to be traced, the data of the last event is stored in the event related percpu location and the global data is updated with the new event's data.

generic-ipi: remove kmalloc() Remove the use of kmalloc() from the smp_call_function_*() calls. Steven's generic-ipi patch (d7240b98: generic-ipi: use per cpu data for single cpu ipi calls) started the discussion on the use of kmalloc() in this code and fixed the smp_call_function_single(.wait=0) fallback case. In this patch we complete this by also providing means for the _many() call, which fully removes the need for kmalloc() in this code. The problem with the _many() call is that other cpus might still be observing our entry when we're done with it. It solved this by dynamically allocating data elements and RCU-freeing it. We solve it by using a single per-cpu entry which provides static storage and solves one half of the problem (avoiding referencing freed data). The other half, ensuring the queue iteration it still possible, is done by placing re-used entries at the head of the list. This means that if someone was still iterating that entry when it got moved, he will now re-visit the entries on the list he had already seen, but avoids skipping over entries like would have happened had we placed the new entry at the end. Furthermore, visiting entries twice is not a problem, since we remove our cpu from the entry's cpumask once its called.

locking/csd_lock: Add more data to CSD lock debugging In order to help identifying problems with IPI handling and remote function execution add some more data to IPI debugging code. There have been multiple reports of CPUs looping long times (many seconds) in smp_call_function_many() waiting for another CPU executing a function like tlb flushing. Most of these reports have been for cases where the kernel was running as a guest on top of KVM or Xen (there are rumours of that happening under VMWare, too, and even on bare metal). Finding the root cause hasn't been successful yet, even after more than 2 years of chasing this bug by different developers. Commit: 35feb60474bf4f7 ("kernel/smp: Provide CSD lock timeout diagnostics") tried to address this by adding some debug code and by issuing another IPI when a hang was detected. This helped mitigating the problem (the repeated IPI unlocks the hang), but the root cause is still unknown. Current available data suggests that either an IPI wasn't sent when it should have been, or that the IPI didn't result in the target CPU executing the queued function (due to the IPI not reaching the CPU, the IPI handler not being called, or the handler not seeing the queued request). Try to add more diagnostic data by introducing a global atomic counter which is being incremented when doing critical operations (before and after queueing a new request, when sending an IPI, and when dequeueing a request). The counter value is stored in percpu variables which can be printed out when a hang is detected. The data of the last event (consisting of sequence counter, source CPU, target CPU, and event type) is stored in a global variable. When a new event is to be traced, the data of the last event is stored in the event related percpu location and the global data is updated with the new event's data. This allows to track two events in one data location: one by the value of the event data (the event before the current one), and one by the location itself (the current event). A typical printout with a detected hang will look like this: csd: Detected non-responsive CSD lock (#1) on CPU#1, waiting 5000000003 ns for CPU#06 scf_handler_1+0x0/0x50(0xffffa2a881bb1410). csd: CSD lock (#1) handling prior scf_handler_1+0x0/0x50(0xffffa2a8813823c0) request. csd: cnt(00008cc): ffff->0000 dequeue (src cpu 0 == empty) csd: cnt(00008cd): ffff->0006 idle csd: cnt(0003668): 0001->0006 queue csd: cnt(0003669): 0001->0006 ipi csd: cnt(0003e0f): 0007->000a queue csd: cnt(0003e10): 0001->ffff ping csd: cnt(0003e71): 0003->0000 ping csd: cnt(0003e72): ffff->0006 gotipi csd: cnt(0003e73): ffff->0006 handle csd: cnt(0003e74): ffff->0006 dequeue (src cpu 0 == empty) csd: cnt(0003e7f): 0004->0006 ping csd: cnt(0003e80): 0001->ffff pinged csd: cnt(0003eb2): 0005->0001 noipi csd: cnt(0003eb3): 0001->0006 queue csd: cnt(0003eb4): 0001->0006 noipi csd: cnt now: 0003f00 The idea is to print only relevant entries. Those are all events which are associated with the hang (so sender side events for the source CPU of the hanging request, and receiver side events for the target CPU), and the related events just before those (for adding data needed to identify a possible race).

smp: Avoid using two cache lines for struct call_single_data struct call_single_data is used in IPIs to transfer information between CPUs. Its size is bigger than sizeof(unsigned long) and less than cache line size. Currently it is not allocated with any explicit alignment requirements. This makes it possible for allocated call_single_data to cross two cache lines, which results in double the number of the cache lines that need to be transferred among CPUs. This can be fixed by requiring call_single_data to be aligned with the size of call_single_data. Currently the size of call_single_data is the power of 2. If we add new fields to call_single_data, we may need to add padding to make sure the size of new definition is the power of 2 as well. Fortunately, this is enforced by GCC, which will report bad sizes. To set alignment requirements of call_single_data to the size of call_single_data, a struct definition and a typedef is used. To test the effect of the patch, I used the vm-scalability multiple thread swap test case (swap-w-seq-mt). The test will create multiple threads and each thread will eat memory until all RAM and part of swap is used, so that huge number of IPIs are triggered when unmapping memory. In the test, the throughput of memory writing improves ~5% compared with misaligned call_single_data, because of faster IPIs.

The other half, ensuring the queue iteration it still possible, is done by placing re-used entries at the head of the list. This means that if someone was still iterating that entry when it got moved, he will now re-visit the entries on the list he had already seen, but avoids skipping over entries like would have happened had we placed the new entry at the end. Furthermore, visiting entries twice is not a problem, since we remove our cpu from the entry's cpumask once its called. Many thanks to Oleg for his suggestions and him poking holes in my earlier attempts.

smp: Avoid using two cache lines for struct call_single_data struct call_single_data is used in IPIs to transfer information between CPUs. Its size is bigger than sizeof(unsigned long) and less than cache line size. Currently it is not allocated with any explicit alignment requirements. This makes it possible for allocated call_single_data to cross two cache lines, which results in double the number of the cache lines that need to be transferred among CPUs. This can be fixed by requiring call_single_data to be aligned with the size of call_single_data. Currently the size of call_single_data is the power of 2.

Fortunately, this is enforced by GCC, which will report bad sizes. To set alignment requirements of call_single_data to the size of call_single_data, a struct definition and a typedef is used. To test the effect of the patch, I used the vm-scalability multiple thread swap test case (swap-w-seq-mt). The test will create multiple threads and each thread will eat memory until all RAM and part of swap is used, so that huge number of IPIs are triggered when unmapping memory. In the test, the throughput of memory writing improves ~5% compared with misaligned call_single_data, because of faster IPIs.

locking/csd_lock: Add more data to CSD lock debugging In order to help identifying problems with IPI handling and remote function execution add some more data to IPI debugging code. There have been multiple reports of CPUs looping long times (many seconds) in smp_call_function_many() waiting for another CPU executing a function like tlb flushing. Most of these reports have been for cases where the kernel was running as a guest on top of KVM or Xen (there are rumours of that happening under VMWare, too, and even on bare metal). Finding the root cause hasn't been successful yet, even after more than 2 years of chasing this bug by different developers. Commit: 35feb60474bf4f7 ("kernel/smp: Provide CSD lock timeout diagnostics") tried to address this by adding some debug code and by issuing another IPI when a hang was detected. This helped mitigating the problem (the repeated IPI unlocks the hang), but the root cause is still unknown. Current available data suggests that either an IPI wasn't sent when it should have been, or that the IPI didn't result in the target CPU executing the queued function (due to the IPI not reaching the CPU, the IPI handler not being called, or the handler not seeing the queued request). Try to add more diagnostic data by introducing a global atomic counter which is being incremented when doing critical operations (before and after queueing a new request, when sending an IPI, and when dequeueing a request). The counter value is stored in percpu variables which can be printed out when a hang is detected. The data of the last event (consisting of sequence counter, source CPU, target CPU, and event type) is stored in a global variable. When a new event is to be traced, the data of the last event is stored in the event related percpu location and the global data is updated with the new event's data. This allows to track two events in one data location: one by the value of the event data (the event before the current one), and one by the location itself (the current event). A typical printout with a detected hang will look like this: csd: Detected non-responsive CSD lock (#1) on CPU#1, waiting 5000000003 ns for CPU#06 scf_handler_1+0x0/0x50(0xffffa2a881bb1410). csd: CSD lock (#1) handling prior scf_handler_1+0x0/0x50(0xffffa2a8813823c0) request. csd: cnt(00008cc): ffff->0000 dequeue (src cpu 0 == empty) csd: cnt(00008cd): ffff->0006 idle csd: cnt(0003668): 0001->0006 queue csd: cnt(0003669): 0001->0006 ipi csd: cnt(0003e0f): 0007->000a queue csd: cnt(0003e10): 0001->ffff ping csd: cnt(0003e71): 0003->0000 ping csd: cnt(0003e72): ffff->0006 gotipi csd: cnt(0003e73): ffff->0006 handle csd: cnt(0003e74): ffff->0006 dequeue (src cpu 0 == empty) csd: cnt(0003e7f): 0004->0006 ping csd: cnt(0003e80): 0001->ffff pinged csd: cnt(0003eb2): 0005->0001 noipi csd: cnt(0003eb3): 0001->0006 queue csd: cnt(0003eb4): 0001->0006 noipi csd: cnt now: 0003f00 The idea is to print only relevant entries. Those are all events which are associated with the hang (so sender side events for the source CPU of the hanging request, and receiver side events for the target CPU), and the related events just before those (for adding data needed to identify a possible race).

CPU hotplug, smp: flush any pending IPI callbacks before CPU offline There is a race between the CPU offline code (within stop-machine) and the smp-call-function code, which can lead to getting IPIs on the outgoing CPU, *after* it has gone offline. Specifically, this can happen when using smp_call_function_single_async() to send the IPI, since this API allows sending asynchronous IPIs from IRQ disabled contexts. The exact race condition is described below. During CPU offline, in stop-machine, we don't enforce any rule in the _DISABLE_IRQ stage, regarding the order in which the outgoing CPU and the other CPUs disable their local interrupts. Due to this, we can encounter a situation in which an IPI is sent by one of the other CPUs to the outgoing CPU (while it is *still* online), but the outgoing CPU ends up noticing it only *after* it has gone offline. CPU 1 CPU 2 (Online CPU) (CPU going offline) Enter _PREPARE stage Enter _PREPARE stage Enter _DISABLE_IRQ stage = Got a device interrupt, and | Didn't notice the IPI the interrupt handler sent an | since interrupts were IPI to CPU 2 using | disabled on this CPU. smp_call_function_single_async() | = Enter _DISABLE_IRQ stage Enter _RUN stage Enter _RUN stage = Busy loop with interrupts | Invoke take_cpu_down() disabled. | and take CPU 2 offline = Enter _EXIT stage Enter _EXIT stage Re-enable interrupts Re-enable interrupts The pending IPI is noted immediately, but alas, the CPU is offline at this point. This of course, makes the smp-call-function IPI handler code running on CPU 2 unhappy and it complains about "receiving an IPI on an offline CPU". One real example of the scenario on CPU 1 is the block layer's complete-request call-path: __blk_complete_request() [interrupt-handler] raise_blk_irq() smp_call_function_single_async() However, if we look closely, the block layer does check that the target CPU is online before firing the IPI. So in this case, it is actually the unfortunate ordering/timing of events in the stop-machine phase that leads to receiving IPIs after the target CPU has gone offline. In reality, getting a late IPI on an offline CPU is not too bad by itself (this can happen even due to hardware latencies in IPI send-receive). It is a bug only if the target CPU really went offline without executing all the callbacks queued on its list. (Note that a CPU is free to execute its pending smp-call-function callbacks in a batch, without waiting for the corresponding IPIs to arrive for each one of those callbacks). So, fixing this issue can be broken up into two parts: 1. Ensure that a CPU goes offline only after executing all the callbacks queued on it. 2. Modify the warning condition in the smp-call-function IPI handler code such that it warns only if an offline CPU got an IPI *and* that CPU had gone offline with callbacks still pending in its queue. Achieving part 1 is straight-forward - just flush (execute) all the queued callbacks on the outgoing CPU in the CPU_DYING stage[1], including those callbacks for which the source CPU's IPIs might not have been received on the outgoing CPU yet. Once we do this, an IPI that arrives late on the CPU going offline (either due to the race mentioned above, or due to hardware latencies) will be completely harmless, since the outgoing CPU would have executed all the queued callbacks before going offline. Overall, this fix (parts 1 and 2 put together) additionally guarantees that we will see a warning only when the *IPI-sender code* is buggy - that is, if it queues the callback _after_ the target CPU has gone offline. [1]. The CPU_DYING part needs a little more explanation: by the time we execute the CPU_DYING notifier callbacks, the CPU would have already been marked offline. But we want to flush out the pending callbacks at this stage, ignoring the fact that the CPU is offline. So restructure the IPI handler code so that we can by-pass the "is-cpu-offline?" check in this particular case. (Of course, the right solution here is to fix CPU hotplug to mark the CPU offline _after_ invoking the CPU_DYING notifiers, but this requires a lot of audit to ensure that this change doesn't break any existing code; hence lets go with the solution proposed above until that is done).

smp: Avoid using two cache lines for struct call_single_data struct call_single_data is used in IPIs to transfer information between CPUs. Its size is bigger than sizeof(unsigned long) and less than cache line size. Currently it is not allocated with any explicit alignment requirements. This makes it possible for allocated call_single_data to cross two cache lines, which results in double the number of the cache lines that need to be transferred among CPUs. This can be fixed by requiring call_single_data to be aligned with the size of call_single_data. Currently the size of call_single_data is the power of 2. If we add new fields to call_single_data, we may need to add padding to make sure the size of new definition is the power of 2 as well. Fortunately, this is enforced by GCC, which will report bad sizes. To set alignment requirements of call_single_data to the size of call_single_data, a struct definition and a typedef is used. To test the effect of the patch, I used the vm-scalability multiple thread swap test case (swap-w-seq-mt). The test will create multiple threads and each thread will eat memory until all RAM and part of swap is used, so that huge number of IPIs are triggered when unmapping memory. In the test, the throughput of memory writing improves ~5% compared with misaligned call_single_data, because of faster IPIs.

smp: print more useful debug info upon receiving IPI on an offline CPU There is a longstanding problem related to CPU hotplug which causes IPIs to be delivered to offline CPUs, and the smp-call-function IPI handler code prints out a warning whenever this is detected. Every once in a while this (usually harmless) warning gets reported on LKML, but so far it has not been completely fixed. Usually the solution involves finding out the IPI sender and fixing it by adding appropriate synchronization with CPU hotplug. However, while going through one such internal bug reports, I found that there is a significant bug in the receiver side itself (more specifically, in stop-machine) that can lead to this problem even when the sender code is perfectly fine. This patchset fixes that synchronization problem in the CPU hotplug stop-machine code. Patch 1 adds some additional debug code to the smp-call-function framework, to help debug such issues easily. Patch 2 modifies the stop-machine code to ensure that any IPIs that were sent while the target CPU was online, would be noticed and handled by that CPU without fail before it goes offline. Thus, this avoids scenarios where IPIs are received on offline CPUs (as long as the sender uses proper hotplug synchronization). In fact, I debugged the problem by using Patch 1, and found that the payload of the IPI was always the block layer's trigger_softirq() function. But I was not able to find anything wrong with the block layer code. That's when I started looking at the stop-machine code and realized that there is a race-window which makes the IPI _receiver_ the culprit, not the sender. Patch 2 fixes that race and hence this should put an end to most of the hard-to-debug IPI-to-offline-CPU issues. This patch (of 2): Today the smp-call-function code just prints a warning if we get an IPI on an offline CPU. This info is sufficient to let us know that something went wrong, but often it is very hard to debug exactly who sent the IPI and why, from this info alone. In most cases, we get the warning about the IPI to an offline CPU, immediately after the CPU going offline comes out of the stop-machine phase and reenables interrupts. Since all online CPUs participate in stop-machine, the information regarding the sender of the IPI is already lost by the time we exit the stop-machine loop. So even if we dump the stack on each CPU at this point, we won't find anything useful since all of them will show the stack-trace of the stopper thread. So we need a better way to figure out who sent the IPI and why. To achieve this, when we detect an IPI targeted to an offline CPU, loop through the call-single-data linked list and print out the payload (i.e., the name of the function which was supposed to be executed by the target CPU). This would give us an insight as to who might have sent the IPI and help us debug this further.

CPU hotplug, smp: flush any pending IPI callbacks before CPU offline There is a race between the CPU offline code (within stop-machine) and the smp-call-function code, which can lead to getting IPIs on the outgoing CPU, *after* it has gone offline. Specifically, this can happen when using smp_call_function_single_async() to send the IPI, since this API allows sending asynchronous IPIs from IRQ disabled contexts. The exact race condition is described below. During CPU offline, in stop-machine, we don't enforce any rule in the _DISABLE_IRQ stage, regarding the order in which the outgoing CPU and the other CPUs disable their local interrupts. Due to this, we can encounter a situation in which an IPI is sent by one of the other CPUs to the outgoing CPU (while it is *still* online), but the outgoing CPU ends up noticing it only *after* it has gone offline. CPU 1 CPU 2 (Online CPU) (CPU going offline) Enter _PREPARE stage Enter _PREPARE stage Enter _DISABLE_IRQ stage = Got a device interrupt, and | Didn't notice the IPI the interrupt handler sent an | since interrupts were IPI to CPU 2 using | disabled on this CPU. smp_call_function_single_async() | = Enter _DISABLE_IRQ stage Enter _RUN stage Enter _RUN stage = Busy loop with interrupts | Invoke take_cpu_down() disabled. | and take CPU 2 offline = Enter _EXIT stage Enter _EXIT stage Re-enable interrupts Re-enable interrupts The pending IPI is noted immediately, but alas, the CPU is offline at this point. This of course, makes the smp-call-function IPI handler code running on CPU 2 unhappy and it complains about "receiving an IPI on an offline CPU". One real example of the scenario on CPU 1 is the block layer's complete-request call-path: __blk_complete_request() [interrupt-handler] raise_blk_irq() smp_call_function_single_async() However, if we look closely, the block layer does check that the target CPU is online before firing the IPI. So in this case, it is actually the unfortunate ordering/timing of events in the stop-machine phase that leads to receiving IPIs after the target CPU has gone offline. In reality, getting a late IPI on an offline CPU is not too bad by itself (this can happen even due to hardware latencies in IPI send-receive). It is a bug only if the target CPU really went offline without executing all the callbacks queued on its list. (Note that a CPU is free to execute its pending smp-call-function callbacks in a batch, without waiting for the corresponding IPIs to arrive for each one of those callbacks). So, fixing this issue can be broken up into two parts: 1. Ensure that a CPU goes offline only after executing all the callbacks queued on it. 2. Modify the warning condition in the smp-call-function IPI handler code such that it warns only if an offline CPU got an IPI *and* that CPU had gone offline with callbacks still pending in its queue. Achieving part 1 is straight-forward - just flush (execute) all the queued callbacks on the outgoing CPU in the CPU_DYING stage[1], including those callbacks for which the source CPU's IPIs might not have been received on the outgoing CPU yet. Once we do this, an IPI that arrives late on the CPU going offline (either due to the race mentioned above, or due to hardware latencies) will be completely harmless, since the outgoing CPU would have executed all the queued callbacks before going offline. Overall, this fix (parts 1 and 2 put together) additionally guarantees that we will see a warning only when the *IPI-sender code* is buggy - that is, if it queues the callback _after_ the target CPU has gone offline. [1]. The CPU_DYING part needs a little more explanation: by the time we execute the CPU_DYING notifier callbacks, the CPU would have already been marked offline. But we want to flush out the pending callbacks at this stage, ignoring the fact that the CPU is offline. So restructure the IPI handler code so that we can by-pass the "is-cpu-offline?" check in this particular case. (Of course, the right solution here is to fix CPU hotplug to mark the CPU offline _after_ invoking the CPU_DYING notifiers, but this requires a lot of audit to ensure that this change doesn't break any existing code; hence lets go with the solution proposed above until that is done).

locking/csd_lock: Add more data to CSD lock debugging In order to help identifying problems with IPI handling and remote function execution add some more data to IPI debugging code. There have been multiple reports of CPUs looping long times (many seconds) in smp_call_function_many() waiting for another CPU executing a function like tlb flushing. Most of these reports have been for cases where the kernel was running as a guest on top of KVM or Xen (there are rumours of that happening under VMWare, too, and even on bare metal). Finding the root cause hasn't been successful yet, even after more than 2 years of chasing this bug by different developers. Commit: 35feb60474bf4f7 ("kernel/smp: Provide CSD lock timeout diagnostics") tried to address this by adding some debug code and by issuing another IPI when a hang was detected. This helped mitigating the problem (the repeated IPI unlocks the hang), but the root cause is still unknown. Current available data suggests that either an IPI wasn't sent when it should have been, or that the IPI didn't result in the target CPU executing the queued function (due to the IPI not reaching the CPU, the IPI handler not being called, or the handler not seeing the queued request). Try to add more diagnostic data by introducing a global atomic counter which is being incremented when doing critical operations (before and after queueing a new request, when sending an IPI, and when dequeueing a request). The counter value is stored in percpu variables which can be printed out when a hang is detected. The data of the last event (consisting of sequence counter, source CPU, target CPU, and event type) is stored in a global variable. When a new event is to be traced, the data of the last event is stored in the event related percpu location and the global data is updated with the new event's data. This allows to track two events in one data location: one by the value of the event data (the event before the current one), and one by the location itself (the current event). A typical printout with a detected hang will look like this: csd: Detected non-responsive CSD lock (#1) on CPU#1, waiting 5000000003 ns for CPU#06 scf_handler_1+0x0/0x50(0xffffa2a881bb1410). csd: CSD lock (#1) handling prior scf_handler_1+0x0/0x50(0xffffa2a8813823c0) request. csd: cnt(00008cc): ffff->0000 dequeue (src cpu 0 == empty) csd: cnt(00008cd): ffff->0006 idle csd: cnt(0003668): 0001->0006 queue csd: cnt(0003669): 0001->0006 ipi csd: cnt(0003e0f): 0007->000a queue csd: cnt(0003e10): 0001->ffff ping csd: cnt(0003e71): 0003->0000 ping csd: cnt(0003e72): ffff->0006 gotipi csd: cnt(0003e73): ffff->0006 handle csd: cnt(0003e74): ffff->0006 dequeue (src cpu 0 == empty) csd: cnt(0003e7f): 0004->0006 ping csd: cnt(0003e80): 0001->ffff pinged csd: cnt(0003eb2): 0005->0001 noipi csd: cnt(0003eb3): 0001->0006 queue csd: cnt(0003eb4): 0001->0006 noipi csd: cnt now: 0003f00 The idea is to print only relevant entries. Those are all events which are associated with the hang (so sender side events for the source CPU of the hanging request, and receiver side events for the target CPU), and the related events just before those (for adding data needed to identify a possible race).

CPU 1 CPU 2 (Online CPU) (CPU going offline) Enter _PREPARE stage Enter _PREPARE stage Enter _DISABLE_IRQ stage = Got a device interrupt, and | Didn't notice the IPI the interrupt handler sent an | since interrupts were IPI to CPU 2 using | disabled on this CPU. smp_call_function_single_async() | = Enter _DISABLE_IRQ stage Enter _RUN stage Enter _RUN stage = Busy loop with interrupts | Invoke take_cpu_down() disabled. | and take CPU 2 offline = Enter _EXIT stage Enter _EXIT stage Re-enable interrupts Re-enable interrupts The pending IPI is noted immediately, but alas, the CPU is offline at this point. This of course, makes the smp-call-function IPI handler code running on CPU 2 unhappy and it complains about "receiving an IPI on an offline CPU". One real example of the scenario on CPU 1 is the block layer's complete-request call-path: __blk_complete_request() [interrupt-handler] raise_blk_irq() smp_call_function_single_async() However, if we look closely, the block layer does check that the target CPU is online before firing the IPI. So in this case, it is actually the unfortunate ordering/timing of events in the stop-machine phase that leads to receiving IPIs after the target CPU has gone offline. In reality, getting a late IPI on an offline CPU is not too bad by itself (this can happen even due to hardware latencies in IPI send-receive). It is a bug only if the target CPU really went offline without executing all the callbacks queued on its list. (Note that a CPU is free to execute its pending smp-call-function callbacks in a batch, without waiting for the corresponding IPIs to arrive for each one of those callbacks). So, fixing this issue can be broken up into two parts: 1. Ensure that a CPU goes offline only after executing all the callbacks queued on it. 2. Modify the warning condition in the smp-call-function IPI handler code such that it warns only if an offline CPU got an IPI *and* that CPU had gone offline with callbacks still pending in its queue. Achieving part 1 is straight-forward - just flush (execute) all the queued callbacks on the outgoing CPU in the CPU_DYING stage[1], including those callbacks for which the source CPU's IPIs might not have been received on the outgoing CPU yet. Once we do this, an IPI that arrives late on the CPU going offline (either due to the race mentioned above, or due to hardware latencies) will be completely harmless, since the outgoing CPU would have executed all the queued callbacks before going offline. Overall, this fix (parts 1 and 2 put together) additionally guarantees that we will see a warning only when the *IPI-sender code* is buggy - that is, if it queues the callback _after_ the target CPU has gone offline. [1]. The CPU_DYING part needs a little more explanation: by the time we execute the CPU_DYING notifier callbacks, the CPU would have already been marked offline. But we want to flush out the pending callbacks at this stage, ignoring the fact that the CPU is offline. So restructure the IPI handler code so that we can by-pass the "is-cpu-offline?" check in this particular case. (Of course, the right solution here is to fix CPU hotplug to mark the CPU offline _after_ invoking the CPU_DYING notifiers, but this requires a lot of audit to ensure that this change doesn't break any existing code; hence lets go with the solution proposed above until that is done).

smp: print more useful debug info upon receiving IPI on an offline CPU There is a longstanding problem related to CPU hotplug which causes IPIs to be delivered to offline CPUs, and the smp-call-function IPI handler code prints out a warning whenever this is detected. Every once in a while this (usually harmless) warning gets reported on LKML, but so far it has not been completely fixed. Usually the solution involves finding out the IPI sender and fixing it by adding appropriate synchronization with CPU hotplug. However, while going through one such internal bug reports, I found that there is a significant bug in the receiver side itself (more specifically, in stop-machine) that can lead to this problem even when the sender code is perfectly fine. This patchset fixes that synchronization problem in the CPU hotplug stop-machine code. Patch 1 adds some additional debug code to the smp-call-function framework, to help debug such issues easily. Patch 2 modifies the stop-machine code to ensure that any IPIs that were sent while the target CPU was online, would be noticed and handled by that CPU without fail before it goes offline. Thus, this avoids scenarios where IPIs are received on offline CPUs (as long as the sender uses proper hotplug synchronization). In fact, I debugged the problem by using Patch 1, and found that the payload of the IPI was always the block layer's trigger_softirq() function. But I was not able to find anything wrong with the block layer code. That's when I started looking at the stop-machine code and realized that there is a race-window which makes the IPI _receiver_ the culprit, not the sender. Patch 2 fixes that race and hence this should put an end to most of the hard-to-debug IPI-to-offline-CPU issues. This patch (of 2): Today the smp-call-function code just prints a warning if we get an IPI on an offline CPU. This info is sufficient to let us know that something went wrong, but often it is very hard to debug exactly who sent the IPI and why, from this info alone. In most cases, we get the warning about the IPI to an offline CPU, immediately after the CPU going offline comes out of the stop-machine phase and reenables interrupts. Since all online CPUs participate in stop-machine, the information regarding the sender of the IPI is already lost by the time we exit the stop-machine loop. So even if we dump the stack on each CPU at this point, we won't find anything useful since all of them will show the stack-trace of the stopper thread. So we need a better way to figure out who sent the IPI and why. To achieve this, when we detect an IPI targeted to an offline CPU, loop through the call-single-data linked list and print out the payload (i.e., the name of the function which was supposed to be executed by the target CPU). This would give us an insight as to who might have sent the IPI and help us debug this further.

locking/csd_lock: Add more data to CSD lock debugging In order to help identifying problems with IPI handling and remote function execution add some more data to IPI debugging code. There have been multiple reports of CPUs looping long times (many seconds) in smp_call_function_many() waiting for another CPU executing a function like tlb flushing. Most of these reports have been for cases where the kernel was running as a guest on top of KVM or Xen (there are rumours of that happening under VMWare, too, and even on bare metal). Finding the root cause hasn't been successful yet, even after more than 2 years of chasing this bug by different developers. Commit: 35feb60474bf4f7 ("kernel/smp: Provide CSD lock timeout diagnostics") tried to address this by adding some debug code and by issuing another IPI when a hang was detected. This helped mitigating the problem (the repeated IPI unlocks the hang), but the root cause is still unknown. Current available data suggests that either an IPI wasn't sent when it should have been, or that the IPI didn't result in the target CPU executing the queued function (due to the IPI not reaching the CPU, the IPI handler not being called, or the handler not seeing the queued request). Try to add more diagnostic data by introducing a global atomic counter which is being incremented when doing critical operations (before and after queueing a new request, when sending an IPI, and when dequeueing a request). The counter value is stored in percpu variables which can be printed out when a hang is detected. The data of the last event (consisting of sequence counter, source CPU, target CPU, and event type) is stored in a global variable. When a new event is to be traced, the data of the last event is stored in the event related percpu location and the global data is updated with the new event's data. This allows to track two events in one data location: one by the value of the event data (the event before the current one), and one by the location itself (the current event). A typical printout with a detected hang will look like this: csd: Detected non-responsive CSD lock (#1) on CPU#1, waiting 5000000003 ns for CPU#06 scf_handler_1+0x0/0x50(0xffffa2a881bb1410). csd: CSD lock (#1) handling prior scf_handler_1+0x0/0x50(0xffffa2a8813823c0) request. csd: cnt(00008cc): ffff->0000 dequeue (src cpu 0 == empty) csd: cnt(00008cd): ffff->0006 idle csd: cnt(0003668): 0001->0006 queue csd: cnt(0003669): 0001->0006 ipi csd: cnt(0003e0f): 0007->000a queue csd: cnt(0003e10): 0001->ffff ping csd: cnt(0003e71): 0003->0000 ping csd: cnt(0003e72): ffff->0006 gotipi csd: cnt(0003e73): ffff->0006 handle csd: cnt(0003e74): ffff->0006 dequeue (src cpu 0 == empty) csd: cnt(0003e7f): 0004->0006 ping csd: cnt(0003e80): 0001->ffff pinged csd: cnt(0003eb2): 0005->0001 noipi csd: cnt(0003eb3): 0001->0006 queue csd: cnt(0003eb4): 0001->0006 noipi csd: cnt now: 0003f00 The idea is to print only relevant entries.

Current available data suggests that either an IPI wasn't sent when it should have been, or that the IPI didn't result in the target CPU executing the queued function (due to the IPI not reaching the CPU, the IPI handler not being called, or the handler not seeing the queued request). Try to add more diagnostic data by introducing a global atomic counter which is being incremented when doing critical operations (before and after queueing a new request, when sending an IPI, and when dequeueing a request). The counter value is stored in percpu variables which can be printed out when a hang is detected. The data of the last event (consisting of sequence counter, source CPU, target CPU, and event type) is stored in a global variable. When a new event is to be traced, the data of the last event is stored in the event related percpu location and the global data is updated with the new event's data. This allows to track two events in one data location: one by the value of the event data (the event before the current one), and one by the location itself (the current event). A typical printout with a detected hang will look like this: csd: Detected non-responsive CSD lock (#1) on CPU#1, waiting 5000000003 ns for CPU#06 scf_handler_1+0x0/0x50(0xffffa2a881bb1410). csd: CSD lock (#1) handling prior scf_handler_1+0x0/0x50(0xffffa2a8813823c0) request. csd: cnt(00008cc): ffff->0000 dequeue (src cpu 0 == empty) csd: cnt(00008cd): ffff->0006 idle csd: cnt(0003668): 0001->0006 queue csd: cnt(0003669): 0001->0006 ipi csd: cnt(0003e0f): 0007->000a queue csd: cnt(0003e10): 0001->ffff ping csd: cnt(0003e71): 0003->0000 ping csd: cnt(0003e72): ffff->0006 gotipi csd: cnt(0003e73): ffff->0006 handle csd: cnt(0003e74): ffff->0006 dequeue (src cpu 0 == empty) csd: cnt(0003e7f): 0004->0006 ping csd: cnt(0003e80): 0001->ffff pinged csd: cnt(0003eb2): 0005->0001 noipi csd: cnt(0003eb3): 0001->0006 queue csd: cnt(0003eb4): 0001->0006 noipi csd: cnt now: 0003f00 The idea is to print only relevant entries. Those are all events which are associated with the hang (so sender side events for the source CPU of the hanging request, and receiver side events for the target CPU), and the related events just before those (for adding data needed to identify a possible race). Printing all available data would be possible, but this would add large amounts of data printed on larger configurations. Signed-off-by: Juergen Gross <jgross@suse.com> [ Minor readability edits.

smp: Avoid using two cache lines for struct call_single_data struct call_single_data is used in IPIs to transfer information between CPUs. Its size is bigger than sizeof(unsigned long) and less than cache line size. Currently it is not allocated with any explicit alignment requirements. This makes it possible for allocated call_single_data to cross two cache lines, which results in double the number of the cache lines that need to be transferred among CPUs. This can be fixed by requiring call_single_data to be aligned with the size of call_single_data. Currently the size of call_single_data is the power of 2. If we add new fields to call_single_data, we may need to add padding to make sure the size of new definition is the power of 2 as well. Fortunately, this is enforced by GCC, which will report bad sizes. To set alignment requirements of call_single_data to the size of call_single_data, a struct definition and a typedef is used. To test the effect of the patch, I used the vm-scalability multiple thread swap test case (swap-w-seq-mt). The test will create multiple threads and each thread will eat memory until all RAM and part of swap is used, so that huge number of IPIs are triggered when unmapping memory. In the test, the throughput of memory writing improves ~5% compared with misaligned call_single_data, because of faster IPIs.

smp: Remove wait argument from __smp_call_function_single() The main point of calling __smp_call_function_single() is to send an IPI in a pure asynchronous way. By embedding a csd in an object, a caller can send the IPI without waiting for a previous one to complete as is required by smp_call_function_single() for example. As such, sending this kind of IPI can be safe even when irqs are disabled. This flexibility comes at the expense of the caller who then needs to synchronize the csd lifecycle by himself and make sure that IPIs on a single csd are serialized. This is how __smp_call_function_single() works when wait = 0 and this usecase is relevant. Now there don't seem to be any usecase with wait = 1 that can't be covered by smp_call_function_single() instead, which is safer. Lets look at the two possible scenario: 1) The user calls __smp_call_function_single(wait = 1) on a csd embedded in an object. It looks like a nice and convenient pattern at the first sight because we can then retrieve the object from the IPI handler easily. But actually it is a waste of memory space in the object since the csd can be allocated from the stack by smp_call_function_single(wait = 1) and the object can be passed an the IPI argument. Besides that, embedding the csd in an object is more error prone because the caller must take care of the serialization of the IPIs for this csd. 2) The user calls __smp_call_function_single(wait = 1) on a csd that is allocated on the stack. It's ok but smp_call_function_single() can do it as well and it already takes care of the allocation on the stack. Again it's more simple and less error prone. Therefore, using the underscore prepend API version with wait = 1 is a bad pattern and a sign that the caller can do safer and more simple. There was a single user of that which has just been converted. So lets remove this option to discourage further users.

call_function_many: add missing ordering Paul McKenney's review pointed out two problems with the barriers in the 2.6.38 update to the smp call function many code. First, a barrier that would force the func and info members of data to be visible before their consumption in the interrupt handler was missing. This can be solved by adding a smp_wmb between setting the func and info members and setting setting the cpumask; this will pair with the existing and required smp_rmb ordering the cpumask read before the read of refs. This placement avoids the need a second smp_rmb in the interrupt handler which would be executed on each of the N cpus executing the call request. (I was thinking this barrier was present but was not). Second, the previous write to refs (establishing the zero that we the interrupt handler was testing from all cpus) was performed by a third party cpu. This would invoke transitivity which, as a recient or concurrent addition to memory-barriers.txt now explicitly states, would require a full smp_mb(). However, we know the cpumask will only be set by one cpu (the data owner) and any preivous iteration of the mask would have cleared by the reading cpu. By redundantly writing refs to 0 on the owning cpu before the smp_wmb, the write to refs will follow the same path as the writes that set the cpumask, which in turn allows us to keep the barrier in the interrupt handler a smp_rmb instead of promoting it to a smp_mb (which will be be executed by N cpus for each of the possible M elements on the list). I moved and expanded the comment about our (ab)use of the rcu list primitives for the concurrent walk earlier into this function. I considered moving the first two paragraphs to the queue list head and lock, but felt it would have been too disconected from the code.

smp: make smp_call_function_many() use logic similar to smp_call_function_single() I'm testing swapout workload in a two-socket Xeon machine. The workload has 10 threads, each thread sequentially accesses separate memory region. TLB flush overhead is very big in the workload. For each page, page reclaim need move it from active lru list and then unmap it. Both need a TLB flush. And this is a multthread workload, TLB flush happens in 10 CPUs. In X86, TLB flush uses generic smp_call)function. So this workload stress smp_call_function_many heavily. Without patch, perf shows: + 24.49% [k] generic_smp_call_function_interrupt - 21.72% [k] _raw_spin_lock - _raw_spin_lock + 79.80% __page_check_address + 6.42% generic_smp_call_function_interrupt + 3.31% get_swap_page + 2.37% free_pcppages_bulk + 1.75% handle_pte_fault + 1.54% put_super + 1.41% grab_super_passive + 1.36% __swap_duplicate + 0.68% blk_flush_plug_list + 0.62% swap_info_get + 6.55% [k] flush_tlb_func + 6.46% [k] smp_call_function_many + 5.09% [k] call_function_interrupt + 4.75% [k] default_send_IPI_mask_sequence_phys + 2.18% [k] find_next_bit swapout throughput is around 1300M/s. With the patch, perf shows: - 27.23% [k] _raw_spin_lock - _raw_spin_lock + 80.53% __page_check_address + 8.39% generic_smp_call_function_single_interrupt + 2.44% get_swap_page + 1.76% free_pcppages_bulk + 1.40% handle_pte_fault + 1.15% __swap_duplicate + 1.05% put_super + 0.98% grab_super_passive + 0.86% blk_flush_plug_list + 0.57% swap_info_get + 8.25% [k] default_send_IPI_mask_sequence_phys + 7.55% [k] call_function_interrupt + 7.47% [k] smp_call_function_many + 7.25% [k] flush_tlb_func + 3.81% [k] _raw_spin_lock_irqsave + 3.78% [k] generic_smp_call_function_single_interrupt swapout throughput is around 1400M/s. So there is around a 7% improvement, and total cpu utilization doesn't change. Without the patch, cfd_data is shared by all CPUs. generic_smp_call_function_interrupt does read/write cfd_data several times which will create a lot of cache ping-pong. With the patch, the data becomes per-cpu. The ping-pong is avoided. And from the perf data, this doesn't make call_single_queue lock contend. Next step is to remove generic_smp_call_function_interrupt() from arch code.

smp: Avoid using two cache lines for struct call_single_data struct call_single_data is used in IPIs to transfer information between CPUs. Its size is bigger than sizeof(unsigned long) and less than cache line size. Currently it is not allocated with any explicit alignment requirements. This makes it possible for allocated call_single_data to cross two cache lines, which results in double the number of the cache lines that need to be transferred among CPUs. This can be fixed by requiring call_single_data to be aligned with the size of call_single_data. Currently the size of call_single_data is the power of 2. If we add new fields to call_single_data, we may need to add padding to make sure the size of new definition is the power of 2 as well. Fortunately, this is enforced by GCC, which will report bad sizes. To set alignment requirements of call_single_data to the size of call_single_data, a struct definition and a typedef is used. To test the effect of the patch, I used the vm-scalability multiple thread swap test case (swap-w-seq-mt). The test will create multiple threads and each thread will eat memory until all RAM and part of swap is used, so that huge number of IPIs are triggered when unmapping memory. In the test, the throughput of memory writing improves ~5% compared with misaligned call_single_data, because of faster IPIs.

smp: make smp_call_function_many() use logic similar to smp_call_function_single() I'm testing swapout workload in a two-socket Xeon machine. The workload has 10 threads, each thread sequentially accesses separate memory region. TLB flush overhead is very big in the workload. For each page, page reclaim need move it from active lru list and then unmap it. Both need a TLB flush. And this is a multthread workload, TLB flush happens in 10 CPUs. In X86, TLB flush uses generic smp_call)function. So this workload stress smp_call_function_many heavily. Without patch, perf shows: + 24.49% [k] generic_smp_call_function_interrupt - 21.72% [k] _raw_spin_lock - _raw_spin_lock + 79.80% __page_check_address + 6.42% generic_smp_call_function_interrupt + 3.31% get_swap_page + 2.37% free_pcppages_bulk + 1.75% handle_pte_fault + 1.54% put_super + 1.41% grab_super_passive + 1.36% __swap_duplicate + 0.68% blk_flush_plug_list + 0.62% swap_info_get + 6.55% [k] flush_tlb_func + 6.46% [k] smp_call_function_many + 5.09% [k] call_function_interrupt + 4.75% [k] default_send_IPI_mask_sequence_phys + 2.18% [k] find_next_bit swapout throughput is around 1300M/s. With the patch, perf shows: - 27.23% [k] _raw_spin_lock - _raw_spin_lock + 80.53% __page_check_address + 8.39% generic_smp_call_function_single_interrupt + 2.44% get_swap_page + 1.76% free_pcppages_bulk + 1.40% handle_pte_fault + 1.15% __swap_duplicate + 1.05% put_super + 0.98% grab_super_passive + 0.86% blk_flush_plug_list + 0.57% swap_info_get + 8.25% [k] default_send_IPI_mask_sequence_phys + 7.55% [k] call_function_interrupt + 7.47% [k] smp_call_function_many + 7.25% [k] flush_tlb_func + 3.81% [k] _raw_spin_lock_irqsave + 3.78% [k] generic_smp_call_function_single_interrupt swapout throughput is around 1400M/s. So there is around a 7% improvement, and total cpu utilization doesn't change. Without the patch, cfd_data is shared by all CPUs. generic_smp_call_function_interrupt does read/write cfd_data several times which will create a lot of cache ping-pong. With the patch, the data becomes per-cpu. The ping-pong is avoided. And from the perf data, this doesn't make call_single_queue lock contend. Next step is to remove generic_smp_call_function_interrupt() from arch code.

smp: add func to IPI cpus based on parameter func Add the on_each_cpu_cond() function that wraps on_each_cpu_mask() and calculates the cpumask of cpus to IPI by calling a function supplied as a parameter in order to determine whether to IPI each specific cpu. The function works around allocation failure of cpumask variable in CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y by itereating over cpus sending an IPI a time via smp_call_function_single(). The function is useful since it allows to seperate the specific code that decided in each case whether to IPI a specific cpu for a specific request from the common boilerplate code of handling creating the mask, handling failures etc. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: s/gfpflags/gfp_flags/] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: avoid double-evaluation of `info' (per Michal), parenthesise evaluation of `cond_func'] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: s/CPU/CPUs, use all 80 cols in comment] Signed-off-by: Gilad Ben-Yossef <gilad@benyossef.com> Cc: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com> Cc: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux-foundation.org> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Russell King <linux@arm.linux.org.uk> Cc: Pekka Enberg <penberg@kernel.org> Cc: Matt Mackall <mpm@selenic.com> Cc: Sasha Levin <levinsasha928@gmail.com> Cc: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> Cc: Alexander Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Cc: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com> Acked-by: Michal Nazarewicz <mina86@mina86.org> Cc: Kosaki Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@gmail.com> Cc: Milton Miller <miltonm@bga.com> Reviewed-by: "Srivatsa S.
