2024-08-14Revert "rcu-tasks: Fix synchronize_rcu_tasks() VS zap_pid_ns_processes()"Frederic Weisbecker1-2/+0
[ Upstream commit 9855c37edf0009cc276cecfee09f7e76e2380212 ] This reverts commit 28319d6dc5e2ffefa452c2377dd0f71621b5bff0. The race it fixed was subject to conditions that don't exist anymore since: 1612160b9127 ("rcu-tasks: Eliminate deadlocks involving do_exit() and RCU tasks") This latter commit removes the use of SRCU that used to cover the RCU-tasks blind spot on exit between the tasklist's removal and the final preemption disabling. The task is now placed instead into a temporary list inside which voluntary sleeps are accounted as RCU-tasks quiescent states. This would disarm the deadlock initially reported against PID namespace exit.

2024-04-15rcu: Mollify sparse with RCU guardJohannes Berg1-1/+13
When using "guard(rcu)();" sparse will complain, because even though it now understands the cleanup attribute, it doesn't evaluate the calls from it at function exit, and thus doesn't count the context correctly. Given that there's a conditional in the resulting code: static inline void class_rcu_destructor(class_rcu_t *_T) { if (_T->lock) { rcu_read_unlock(); } } it seems that even trying to teach sparse to evalulate the cleanup attribute function it'd still be difficult to really make it understand the full context here. Suppress the sparse warning by just releasing the context in the acquisition part of the function, after all we know it's safe with the guard, that's the whole point of it.

2024-04-15rcu: Update lockdep while in RCU read-side critical sectionUladzislau Rezki (Sony)1-1/+1
With Ankur's lazy-/auto-preemption patches applied and with a lazy-preemptible kernel in combination with a non-preemptible RCU, lockdep sometimes complains about context switches within RCU read-side critical sections. This is a false positive due to rcu_read_unlock() updating lockdep state too late: __release(RCU); __rcu_read_unlock(); // Context switch here results in lockdep false positive!!! rcu_lock_release(&rcu_lock_map); /* Keep acq info for rls diags. */ Although this complaint could also happen with preemptible RCU in a preemptible kernel, the odds of that happening aer quite low. In constrast, with non-preemptible RCU, a long critical section has a high probability of performing a context switch from the preempt_enable() in __rcu_read_unlock(). The fix is straightforward, just move the rcu_lock_release() within rcu_read_unlock() to obtain the reverse order from that of rcu_read_lock(): rcu_lock_release(&rcu_lock_map); /* Keep acq info for rls diags. */ __release(RCU); __rcu_read_unlock(); This commit makes this change.

2024-03-21rcu: add a helper to report consolidated flavor QSYan Zhai1-0/+31
When under heavy load, network processing can run CPU-bound for many tens of seconds. Even in preemptible kernels (non-RT kernel), this can block RCU Tasks grace periods, which can cause trace-event removal to take more than a minute, which is unacceptably long. This commit therefore creates a new helper function that passes through both RCU and RCU-Tasks quiescent states every 100 milliseconds. This hard-coded value suffices for current workloads.

2024-02-14rcu-tasks: Repair RCU Tasks Trace quiescence checkPaul E. McKenney1-2/+2
The context-switch-time check for RCU Tasks Trace quiescence expects current->trc_reader_special.b.need_qs to be zero, and if so, updates it to TRC_NEED_QS_CHECKED. This is backwards, because if this value is zero, there is no RCU Tasks Trace grace period in flight, an thus no need for a quiescent state. Instead, when a grace period starts, this field is set to TRC_NEED_QS. This commit therefore changes the check from zero to TRC_NEED_QS.

2023-12-13srcu: Use try-lock lockdep annotation for NMI-safe access.Sebastian Andrzej Siewior1-0/+6
It is claimed that srcu_read_lock_nmisafe() NMI-safe. However it triggers a lockdep if used from NMI because lockdep expects a deadlock since nothing disables NMIs while the lock is acquired. This is because commit f0f44752f5f61 ("rcu: Annotate SRCU's update-side lockdep dependencies") annotates synchronize_srcu() as a write lock usage. This helps to detect a deadlocks such as srcu_read_lock(); synchronize_srcu(); srcu_read_unlock(); The side effect is that the lock srcu_struct now has a USED usage in normal contexts, so it conflicts with a USED_READ usage in NMI. But this shouldn't cause a real deadlock because the write lock usage from synchronize_srcu() is a fake one and only used for read/write deadlock detection. Use a try-lock annotation for srcu_read_lock_nmisafe() to avoid lockdep complains if used from NMI.

2023-01-04rcu-tasks: Fix synchronize_rcu_tasks() VS zap_pid_ns_processes()Frederic Weisbecker1-0/+2
RCU Tasks and PID-namespace unshare can interact in do_exit() in a complicated circular dependency: 1) TASK A calls unshare(CLONE_NEWPID), this creates a new PID namespace that every subsequent child of TASK A will belong to. But TASK A doesn't itself belong to that new PID namespace. 2) TASK A forks() and creates TASK B. TASK A stays attached to its PID namespace (let's say PID_NS1) and TASK B is the first task belonging to the new PID namespace created by unshare() (let's call it PID_NS2). 3) Since TASK B is the first task attached to PID_NS2, it becomes the PID_NS2 child reaper. 4) TASK A forks() again and creates TASK C which get attached to PID_NS2. Note how TASK C has TASK A as a parent (belonging to PID_NS1) but has TASK B (belonging to PID_NS2) as a pid_namespace child_reaper. 5) TASK B exits and since it is the child reaper for PID_NS2, it has to kill all other tasks attached to PID_NS2, and wait for all of them to die before getting reaped itself (zap_pid_ns_process()). 6) TASK A calls synchronize_rcu_tasks() which leads to synchronize_srcu(&tasks_rcu_exit_srcu). 7) TASK B is waiting for TASK C to get reaped. But TASK B is under a tasks_rcu_exit_srcu SRCU critical section (exit_notify() is between exit_tasks_rcu_start() and exit_tasks_rcu_finish()), blocking TASK A. 8) TASK C exits and since TASK A is its parent, it waits for it to reap TASK C, but it can't because TASK A waits for TASK B that waits for TASK C. Pid_namespace semantics can hardly be changed at this point. But the coverage of tasks_rcu_exit_srcu can be reduced instead. The current task is assumed not to be concurrently reapable at this stage of exit_notify() and therefore tasks_rcu_exit_srcu can be temporarily relaxed without breaking its constraints, providing a way out of the deadlock scenario.

2023-01-04rcu: Refactor kvfree_call_rcu() and high-level helpersUladzislau Rezki (Sony)1-3/+2
Currently a kvfree_call_rcu() takes an offset within a structure as a second parameter, so a helper such as a kvfree_rcu_arg_2() has to convert rcu_head and a freed ptr to an offset in order to pass it. That leads to an extra conversion on macro entry. Instead of converting, refactor the code in way that a pointer that has to be freed is passed directly to the kvfree_call_rcu(). This patch does not make any functional change and is transparent to all kvfree_rcu() users. Signed-off-by: Uladzislau Rezki (Sony) <urezki@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2023-01-04rcu: Make RCU_LOCKDEP_WARN() avoid early lockdep checksPaul E. McKenney1-1/+8
Currently, RCU_LOCKDEP_WARN() checks the condition before checking to see if lockdep is still enabled. This is necessary to avoid the false-positive splats fixed by commit 3066820034b5dd ("rcu: Reject RCU_LOCKDEP_WARN() false positives"). However, the current state can result in false-positive splats during early boot before lockdep is fully initialized. This commit therefore checks debug_lockdep_rcu_enabled() both before and after checking the condition, thus avoiding both sets of false-positive error reports.

2022-11-30rcu: Make call_rcu() lazy to save powerJoel Fernandes (Google)1-0/+9
Implement timer-based RCU callback batching (also known as lazy callbacks). With this we save about 5-10% of power consumed due to RCU requests that happen when system is lightly loaded or idle. By default, all async callbacks (queued via call_rcu) are marked lazy. An alternate API call_rcu_hurry() is provided for the few users, for example synchronize_rcu(), that need the old behavior. The batch is flushed whenever a certain amount of time has passed, or the batch on a particular CPU grows too big. Also memory pressure will flush it in a future patch. To handle several corner cases automagically (such as rcu_barrier() and hotplug), we re-use bypass lists which were originally introduced to address lock contention, to handle lazy CBs as well. The bypass list length has the lazy CB length included in it. A separate lazy CB length counter is also introduced to keep track of the number of lazy CBs.

2022-08-31rcu: Add functions to compare grace-period state valuesPaul E. McKenney1-0/+21
This commit adds same_state_synchronize_rcu() and same_state_synchronize_rcu_full() functions to compare grace-period state values, for example, those obtained from get_state_synchronize_rcu() and get_state_synchronize_rcu_full(). These functions allow small structures to omit these state values by placing them in list headers for lists containing structures with the same token value. Presumably the per-structure list pointers are the same ones used to link the structures into whatever reader-accessible data structure was used. This commit also adds both NUM_ACTIVE_RCU_POLL_OLDSTATE and NUM_ACTIVE_RCU_POLL_FULL_OLDSTATE, which define the maximum number of distinct unsigned long values and rcu_gp_oldstate values, respectively, corresponding to not-yet-completed grace periods. These values can be used to size arrays of the list headers described above. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org>
2022-08-31rcu: Add full-sized polling for get_completed*() and poll_state*()Paul E. McKenney1-0/+3
The get_completed_synchronize_rcu() and poll_state_synchronize_rcu() APIs compress the combined expedited and normal grace-period states into a single unsigned long, which conserves storage, but can miss grace periods in certain cases involving overlapping normal and expedited grace periods. Missing the occasional grace period is usually not a problem, but there are use cases that care about each and every grace period. This commit therefore adds the first members of the full-state RCU grace-period polling API, namely the get_completed_synchronize_rcu_full() and poll_state_synchronize_rcu_full() functions. These use up to three times the storage (rcu_gp_oldstate structure instead of unsigned long), but which are guaranteed not to miss grace periods, at least in situations where the single-CPU grace-period optimization does not apply.

2022-06-20rcu-tasks: Merge state into .b.need_qs and atomically updatePaul E. McKenney1-7/+11
This commit gets rid of the task_struct structure's ->trc_reader_checked field, making it instead be a bit within the task_struct structure's existing ->trc_reader_special.b.need_qs field. This commit also atomically loads, stores, and checks the resulting combination of the reader-checked and need-quiescent state flags. This will in turn allow significant simplification of the rcu_tasks_trace_postgp() function as well as elimination of the trc_n_readers_need_end counter in later commits. These changes will in turn simplify later elimination of the RCU Tasks Trace scan of the task list, which will make RCU Tasks Trace grace periods less CPU-intensive.

2022-06-20rcu: Provide a get_completed_synchronize_rcu() functionPaul E. McKenney1-0/+1
It is currently up to the caller to handle stale return values from get_state_synchronize_rcu(). If poll_state_synchronize_rcu() returned true once, a grace period has elapsed, regardless of the fact that counter wrap might cause some future poll_state_synchronize_rcu() invocation to return false. For example, the caller might store a separate flag that indicates whether some previous call to poll_state_synchronize_rcu() determined that the relevant grace period had already ended. This approach works, but it requires extra storage and is easy to get wrong. This commit therefore introduces a get_completed_synchronize_rcu() that returns a cookie that causes poll_state_synchronize_rcu() to always return true. This already-completed cookie can be stored in place of the cookie that previously caused poll_state_synchronize_rcu() to return true. It can also be used to flag a given structure as not having been exposed to readers, and thus not requiring a grace period to elapse. This commit is in preparation for polled expedited grace periods.

The main Tasks RCU quiescent state is voluntary context switch. However, userspace execution is also a valid quiescent state, and is a valuable one for userspace applications that spin repeatedly executing light-weight non-sleeping system calls. Currently, such an application can delay a Tasks RCU grace period for many tens of seconds. This commit therefore enlists the aid of the scheduler-clock interrupt to provide a Tasks RCU quiescent state when it interrupted a task executing in userspace.

2021-09-16rcu: Avoid unneeded function call in rcu_read_unlock()Waiman Long1-1/+2
Since commit aa40c138cc8f3 ("rcu: Report QS for outermost PREEMPT=n rcu_read_unlock() for strict GPs") the function rcu_read_unlock_strict() is invoked by the inlined rcu_read_unlock() function. However, rcu_read_unlock_strict() is an empty function in production kernels, which are built with CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD=n. There is a mention of rcu_read_unlock_strict() in the BPF verifier, but this is in a deny-list, meaning that BPF does not care whether rcu_read_unlock_strict() is ever called. This commit therefore provides a slight performance improvement by hoisting the check of CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD from rcu_read_unlock_strict() into rcu_read_unlock(), thus avoiding the pointless call to an empty function.
