2009-10-15rcu: Fix TREE_PREEMPT_RCU CPU_HOTPLUG bad-luck hangPaul E. McKenney
If the following sequence of events occurs, then TREE_PREEMPT_RCU will hang waiting for a grace period to complete, eventually OOMing the system: o A TREE_PREEMPT_RCU build of the kernel is booted on a system with more than 64 physical CPUs present (32 on a 32-bit system). Alternatively, a TREE_PREEMPT_RCU build of the kernel is booted with RCU_FANOUT set to a sufficiently small value that the physical CPUs populate two or more leaf rcu_node structures. o A task is preempted in an RCU read-side critical section while running on a CPU corresponding to a given leaf rcu_node structure. o All CPUs corresponding to this same leaf rcu_node structure record quiescent states for the current grace period. o All of these same CPUs go offline (hence the need for enough physical CPUs to populate more than one leaf rcu_node structure). This causes the preempted task to be moved to the root rcu_node structure. At this point, there is nothing left to cause the quiescent state to be propagated up the rcu_node tree, so the current grace period never completes. The simplest fix, especially after considering the deadlock possibilities, is to detect this situation when the last CPU is offlined, and to set that CPU's ->qsmask bit in its leaf rcu_node structure. This will cause the next invocation of force_quiescent_state() to end the grace period. Without this fix, this hang can be triggered in an hour or so on some machines with rcutorture and random CPU onlining/offlining. With this fix, these same machines pass a full 10 hours of this sort of abuse. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2009-10-15rcu: Stopgap fix for synchronize_rcu_expedited() for TREE_PREEMPT_RCUPaul E. McKenney
For the short term, map synchronize_rcu_expedited() to synchronize_rcu() for TREE_PREEMPT_RCU and to synchronize_sched_expedited() for TREE_RCU. Longer term, there needs to be a real expedited grace period for TREE_PREEMPT_RCU, but candidate patches to date are considerably more complex and intrusive. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2009-10-07rcu: Make hot-unplugged CPU relinquish its own RCU callbacksPaul E. McKenney
The current interaction between RCU and CPU hotplug requires that RCU block in CPU notifiers waiting for callbacks to drain. This can be greatly simplified by having each CPU relinquish its own callbacks, and for both _rcu_barrier() and CPU_DEAD notifiers to adopt all callbacks that were previously relinquished. This change also eliminates the possibility of certain types of hangs due to the previous practice of waiting for callbacks to be invoked from within CPU notifiers. If you don't every wait, you cannot hang. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2009-10-05rcu: Clean up code based on review feedback from Josh Triplett, part 4Paul E. McKenney
These issues identified during an old-fashioned face-to-face code review extending over many hours. This group improves an existing abstraction and introduces two new ones. It also fixes an RCU stall-warning bug found while making the other changes. o Make RCU_INIT_FLAVOR() declare its own variables, removing the need to declare them at each call site. o Create an rcu_for_each_leaf() macro that scans the leaf nodes of the rcu_node tree. o Create an rcu_for_each_node_breadth_first() macro that does a breadth-first traversal of the rcu_node tree, AKA stepping through the array in index-number order. o If all CPUs corresponding to a given leaf rcu_node structure go offline, then any tasks queued on that leaf will be moved to the root rcu_node structure. Therefore, the stall-warning code must dump out tasks queued on the root rcu_node structure as well as those queued on the leaf rcu_node structures. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2009-09-23rcu: Clean up code based on review feedback from Josh Triplett, part 2Paul E. McKenney
These issues identified during an old-fashioned face-to-face code review extending over many hours. o Add comments for tricky parts of code, and correct comments that have passed their sell-by date. o Get rid of the vestiges of rcu_init_sched(), which is no longer needed now that PREEMPT_RCU is gone. o Move the #include of rcutree_plugin.h to the end of rcutree.c, which means that, rather than having a random collection of forward declarations, the new set of forward declarations document the set of plugins. The new home for this #include also allows __rcu_init_preempt() to move into rcutree_plugin.h. o Fix rcu_preempt_check_callbacks() to be static.

2009-09-23rcu: Clean up code based on review feedback from Josh TriplettPaul E. McKenney
These issues identified during an old-fashioned face-to-face code review extended over many hours. o Bury various forms of the "rsp->completed == rsp->gpnum" comparison into an rcu_gp_in_progress() function, which has the beneficial side-effect of forcing consistent use of ACCESS_ONCE(). o Replace hand-coded arithmetic with DIV_ROUND_UP(). o Bury several "!list_empty(&rnp->blocked_tasks[rnp->gpnum & 0x01])" instances into an rcu_preempted_readers() function, as this expression indicates that there are no readers blocked within RCU read-side critical sections blocking the current grace period. (Though there might well be similar readers blocking the next grace period.) o Remove a dangling rcu_restart_cpu() declaration that has been dangling for almost 20 minor releases of the kernel.

2009-09-18rcu: Simplify rcu_read_unlock_special() quiescent-state accountingPaul E. McKenney
The earlier approach required two scheduling-clock ticks to note an preemptable-RCU quiescent state in the situation in which the scheduling-clock interrupt is unlucky enough to always interrupt an RCU read-side critical section. With this change, the quiescent state is instead noted by the outermost rcu_read_unlock() immediately following the first scheduling-clock tick, or, alternatively, by the first subsequent context switch. Therefore, this change also speeds up grace periods. Suggested-by: Josh Triplett <josh@joshtriplett.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2009-08-29rcu: Create rcutree plugins to handle hotplug CPU for multi-level treesPaul E. McKenney
When offlining CPUs from a multi-level tree, there is the possibility of offlining the last CPU from a given node when there are preempted RCU read-side critical sections that started life on one of the CPUs on that node. In this case, the corresponding tasks will be enqueued via the task_struct's rcu_node_entry list_head onto one of the rcu_node's blocked_tasks[] lists. These tasks need to be moved somewhere else so that they will prevent the current grace period from ending. That somewhere is the root rcu_node. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2009-08-23rcu: Merge preemptable-RCU functionality into hierarchical RCUPaul E. McKenney
Create a kernel/rcutree_plugin.h file that contains definitions for preemptable RCU (or, under the #else branch of the #ifdef, empty definitions for the classic non-preemptable semantics). These definitions fit into plugins defined in kernel/rcutree.c for this purpose. This variant of preemptable RCU uses a new algorithm whose read-side expense is roughly that of classic hierarchical RCU under CONFIG_PREEMPT. This new algorithm's update-side expense is similar to that of classic hierarchical RCU, and, in absence of read-side preemption or blocking, is exactly that of classic hierarchical RCU. Perhaps more important, this new algorithm has a much simpler implementation, saving well over 1,000 lines of code compared to mainline's implementation of preemptable RCU, which will hopefully be retired in favor of this new algorithm. The simplifications are obtained by maintaining per-task nesting state for running tasks, and using a simple lock-protected algorithm to handle accounting when tasks block within RCU read-side critical sections, making use of lessons learned while creating numerous user-level RCU implementations over the past 18 months.
