cpu/hotplug: Serialize callback invocations proper

2017-05-03T15:37:43+00:00

commit dc434e056fe1dada20df7ba07f32739d3a701adf upstream. The setup/remove_state/instance() functions in the hotplug core code are serialized against concurrent CPU hotplug, but unfortunately not serialized against themself. As a consequence a concurrent invocation of these function results in corruption of the callback machinery because two instances try to invoke callbacks on remote cpus at the same time. This results in missing callback invocations and initiator threads waiting forever on the completion. The obvious solution to replace get_cpu_online() with cpu_hotplug_begin() is not possible because at least one callsite calls into these functions from a get_online_cpu() locked region. Extend the protection scope of the cpuhp_state_mutex from solely protecting the state arrays to cover the callback invocation machinery as well.

cpu/hotplug: Remove unused but set variable in _cpu_down()

2017-01-18T10:55:09+00:00

After the recent removal of the hotplug notifiers the variable 'hasdied' in _cpu_down() is set but no longer read, leading to the following GCC warning when building with 'make W=1': kernel/cpu.c:767:7: warning: variable ‘hasdied’ set but not used [-Wunused-but-set-variable] Fix it by removing the variable.

cpu/hotplug: Provide dynamic range for prepare stage

2017-01-16T12:20:05+00:00

Mathieu reported that the LTTNG modules are broken as of 4.10-rc1 due to the removal of the cpu hotplug notifiers. Usually I don't care much about out of tree modules, but LTTNG is widely used in distros. There are two ways to solve that: 1) Reserve a hotplug state for LTTNG 2) Add a dynamic range for the prepare states. While #1 is the simplest solution, #2 is the proper one as we can convert in tree users, which do not care about ordering, to the dynamic range as well. Add a dynamic range which allows LTTNG to request states in the prepare stage.

cpu/hotplug: Remove obsolete cpu hotplug register/unregister functions

2016-12-25T09:47:43+00:00

hotcpu_notifier(), cpu_notifier(), __hotcpu_notifier(), __cpu_notifier(), register_hotcpu_notifier(), register_cpu_notifier(), __register_hotcpu_notifier(), __register_cpu_notifier(), unregister_hotcpu_notifier(), unregister_cpu_notifier(), __unregister_hotcpu_notifier(), __unregister_cpu_notifier() are unused now. Remove them and all related code. Remove also the now pointless cpu notifier error injection mechanism. The states can be executed step by step and error rollback is the same as cpu down, so any state transition can be tested w/o requiring the notifier error injection. Some CPU hotplug states are kept as they are (ab)used for hotplug state tracking.

cpu/hotplug: Prevent overwriting of callbacks

2016-12-25T09:47:42+00:00

Developers manage to overwrite states blindly without thought. That's fatal and hard to debug. Add sanity checks to make it fail. This requries to restructure the code so that the dynamic state allocation happens in the same lock protected section as the actual store. Otherwise the previous assignment of 'Reserved' to the name field would trigger the overwrite check.

hotplug: Make register and unregister notifier API symmetric

2016-12-08T09:08:41+00:00

Yu Zhao has noticed that __unregister_cpu_notifier only unregisters its notifiers when HOTPLUG_CPU=y while the registration might succeed even when HOTPLUG_CPU=n if MODULE is enabled. This means that e.g. zswap might keep a stale notifier on the list on the manual clean up during the pool tear down and thus corrupt the list. Resulting in the following [ 144.964346] BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffff880658a2be78 [ 144.971337] IP: [] raw_notifier_chain_register+0x1b/0x40 [ 145.122628] Call Trace: [ 145.125086] [] __register_cpu_notifier+0x18/0x20 [ 145.131350] [] zswap_pool_create+0x273/0x400 [ 145.137268] [] __zswap_param_set+0x1fc/0x300 [ 145.143188] [] ? trace_hardirqs_on+0xd/0x10 [ 145.149018] [] ? kernel_param_lock+0x28/0x30 [ 145.154940] [] ? __might_fault+0x4f/0xa0 [ 145.160511] [] zswap_compressor_param_set+0x17/0x20 [ 145.167035] [] param_attr_store+0x5c/0xb0 [ 145.172694] [] module_attr_store+0x1d/0x30 [ 145.178443] [] sysfs_kf_write+0x4f/0x70 [ 145.183925] [] kernfs_fop_write+0x149/0x180 [ 145.189761] [] __vfs_write+0x18/0x40 [ 145.194982] [] vfs_write+0xb2/0x1a0 [ 145.200122] [] SyS_write+0x52/0xa0 [ 145.205177] [] entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x12/0x17 This can be even triggered manually by changing /sys/module/zswap/parameters/compressor multiple times.

Pull CPU hotplug updates from Thomas Gleixner: "Yet another batch of cpu hotplug core updates and conversions: - Provide core infrastructure for multi instance drivers so the drivers do not have to keep custom lists. - Convert custom lists to the new infrastructure. The block-mq custom list conversion comes through the block tree and makes the diffstat tip over to more lines removed than added. - Handle unbalanced hotplug enable/disable calls more gracefully. - Remove the obsolete CPU_STARTING/DYING notifier support. - Convert another batch of notifier users. The relayfs changes which conflicted with the conversion have been shipped to me by Andrew. The remaining lot is targeted for 4.10 so that we finally can remove the rest of the notifiers" * 'smp-hotplug-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (46 commits) cpufreq: Fix up conversion to hotplug state machine blk/mq: Reserve hotplug states for block multiqueue x86/apic/uv: Convert to hotplug state machine s390/mm/pfault: Convert to hotplug state machine mips/loongson/smp: Convert to hotplug state machine mips/octeon/smp: Convert to hotplug state machine fault-injection/cpu: Convert to hotplug state machine padata: Convert to hotplug state machine cpufreq: Convert to hotplug state machine ACPI/processor: Convert to hotplug state machine virtio scsi: Convert to hotplug state machine oprofile/timer: Convert to hotplug state machine block/softirq: Convert to hotplug state machine lib/irq_poll: Convert to hotplug state machine x86/microcode: Convert to hotplug state machine sh/SH-X3 SMP: Convert to hotplug state machine ia64/mca: Convert to hotplug state machine ARM/OMAP/wakeupgen: Convert to hotplug state machine ARM/shmobile: Convert to hotplug state machine arm64/FP/SIMD: Convert to hotplug state machine ...
