It turned out that the decision to invoke the exit to user work was not really a decision. More or less each context switch caused that. There is a long list of small issues which sums up nicely and results in a 3-4% regression in I/O benchmarks. The other detail which caused issues due to extra work in context switch and task migration is the CID (memory context ID) management. It also requires to use a task work to consolidate the CID space, which is executed in the context of an arbitrary task and results in sporadic uncontrolled exit latencies. The rewrite addresses this by: - Removing deprecated and long unsupported functionality - Moving the related data into dedicated data structures which are optimized for fast path processing. - Caching values so actual decisions can be made - Replacing the current implementation with a optimized inlined variant. - Separating fast and slow path for architectures which use the generic entry code, so that only fault and error handling goes into the TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME handler. - Rewriting the CID management so that it becomes mostly invisible in the context switch path. That moves the work of switching modes into the fork/exit path, which is a reasonable tradeoff. That work is only required when a process creates more threads than the cpuset it is allowed to run on or when enough threads exit after that. An artificial thread pool benchmarks which triggers this did not degrade, it actually improved significantly. The main effect in migration heavy scenarios is that runqueue lock held time and therefore contention goes down significantly" * tag 'core-rseq-2025-11-30' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (54 commits) sched/mmcid: Switch over to the new mechanism sched/mmcid: Implement deferred mode change irqwork: Move data struct to a types header sched/mmcid: Provide CID ownership mode fixup functions sched/mmcid: Provide new scheduler CID mechanism sched/mmcid: Introduce per task/CPU ownership infrastructure sched/mmcid: Serialize sched_mm_cid_fork()/exit() with a mutex sched/mmcid: Provide precomputed maximal value sched/mmcid: Move initialization out of line signal: Move MMCID exit out of sighand lock sched/mmcid: Convert mm CID mask to a bitmap cpumask: Cache num_possible_cpus() sched/mmcid: Use cpumask_weighted_or() cpumask: Introduce cpumask_weighted_or() sched/mmcid: Prevent pointless work in mm_update_cpus_allowed() sched/mmcid: Move scheduler code out of global header sched: Fixup whitespace damage sched/mmcid: Cacheline align MM CID storage sched/mmcid: Use proper data structures sched/mmcid: Revert the complex CID management ... 2025-12-02T05:04:45+00:00 Linus Torvalds torvalds@linux-foundation.org 2025-12-02T05:04:45+00:00 urn:sha1:6d2c10e889db596938bb7b4d3cdd42d67208439a Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar: "Scalability and load-balancing improvements: - Enable scheduler feature NEXT_BUDDY (Mel Gorman) - Reimplement NEXT_BUDDY to align with EEVDF goals (Mel Gorman) - Skip sched_balance_running cmpxchg when balance is not due (Tim Chen) - Implement generic code for architecture specific sched domain NUMA distances (Tim Chen) - Optimize the NUMA distances of the sched-domains builds of Intel Granite Rapids (GNR) and Clearwater Forest (CWF) platforms (Tim Chen) - Implement proportional newidle balance: a randomized algorithm that runs newidle balancing proportional to its success rate.

They simplify the common pattern of get_unused_fd_flags() + create file + fd_install() that is used extensively throughout the kernel and currently requires cumbersome cleanup paths. FD_ADD() - For simple cases where a file is installed immediately: fd = FD_ADD(O_CLOEXEC, vfio_device_open_file(device)); if (fd < 0) vfio_device_put_registration(device); return fd; FD_PREPARE() - For cases requiring access to the fd or file, or additional work before publishing: FD_PREPARE(fdf, O_CLOEXEC, sync_file->file); if (fdf.err) { fput(sync_file->file); return fdf.err; } data.fence = fd_prepare_fd(fdf); if (copy_to_user((void __user *)arg, &data, sizeof(data))) return -EFAULT; return fd_publish(fdf); The primitives are centered around struct fd_prepare. FD_PREPARE() encapsulates all allocation and cleanup logic and must be followed by a call to fd_publish() which associates the fd with the file and installs it into the caller's fdtable. If fd_publish() isn't called, both are deallocated automatically. FD_ADD() is a shorthand that does fd_publish() immediately and never exposes the struct to the caller. I've implemented this in a way that it's compatible with the cleanup infrastructure while also being usable separately. IOW, it's centered around struct fd_prepare which is aliased to class_fd_prepare_t and so we can make use of all the basica guard infrastructure" * tag 'vfs-6.19-rc1.fd_prepare.fs' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: (42 commits) io_uring: convert io_create_mock_file() to FD_PREPARE() file: convert replace_fd() to FD_PREPARE() vfio: convert vfio_group_ioctl_get_device_fd() to FD_ADD() tty: convert ptm_open_peer() to FD_ADD() ntsync: convert ntsync_obj_get_fd() to FD_PREPARE() media: convert media_request_alloc() to FD_PREPARE() hv: convert mshv_ioctl_create_partition() to FD_ADD() gpio: convert linehandle_create() to FD_PREPARE() pseries: port papr_rtas_setup_file_interface() to FD_ADD() pseries: convert papr_platform_dump_create_handle() to FD_ADD() spufs: convert spufs_gang_open() to FD_PREPARE() papr-hvpipe: convert papr_hvpipe_dev_create_handle() to FD_PREPARE() spufs: convert spufs_context_open() to FD_PREPARE() net/socket: convert __sys_accept4_file() to FD_ADD() net/socket: convert sock_map_fd() to FD_ADD() net/kcm: convert kcm_ioctl() to FD_PREPARE() net/handshake: convert handshake_nl_accept_doit() to FD_PREPARE() secretmem: convert memfd_secret() to FD_ADD() memfd: convert memfd_create() to FD_ADD() bpf: convert bpf_token_create() to FD_PREPARE() ... 2025-11-28T11:42:23+00:00 Christian Brauner brauner@kernel.org 2025-11-23T16:33:19+00:00 urn:sha1:011703a9acd76edc7c85d80dbccb6e50dba53aad I've been playing with this to allow for moderately flexible usage of the get_unused_fd_flags() + create file + fd_install() pattern that's used quite extensively. How callers allocate files is really heterogenous so it's not really convenient to fold them into a single class. It's possibe to split them into subclasses like for anon inodes. I think that's not necessarily nice as well. My take is to add two primites: (1) FD_ADD() the simple cases a file is installed: fd = FD_ADD(O_CLOEXEC, open_file(some, args))); if (fd >= 0) kvm_get_kvm(vcpu->kvm); return fd; (2) FD_PREPARE() that captures all the cases where access to fd or file or additional work before publishing the fd is needed: FD_PREPARE(fdf, open_flag, file_open_handle(&path, open_flag)); if (fdf.err) return fdf.err; if (copy_to_user(/* something something */)) return -EFAULT; return fd_publish(fdf); I've converted all of the easy cases over to it and it gets rid of an aweful lot of convoluted cleanup logic. It's centered around struct fd_prepare. FD_PREPARE() encapsulates all of allocation and cleanup logic and must be followed by a call to fd_publish() which associates the fd with the file and installs it into the callers fdtable. If fd_publish() isn't called both are deallocated. It mandates a specific order namely that first we allocate the fd and then instantiate the file. But that shouldn't be a problem nearly everyone I've converted uses this exact pattern anyway. There's a bunch of additional cases where it would be easy to convert them to this pattern. For example, the whole sync file stuff in dma currently retains the containing structure of the file instead of the file itself even though it's only used to allocate files. Changing that would make it fall into the FD_PREPARE() pattern easily. I've not done that work yet. There's room for extending this in a way that wed'd have subclasses for some particularly often use patterns but as I said I'm not even sure that's worth it.

None of it makes any sense at all. I'm not sure what happened back then. Maybe I had a brief psychedelic period that I completely forgot about and spaced out into a zone where that initial macro implementation made any sense at all.
