Raw Normal View History

Linux-2.6.12-rc2 Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!

Make workqueue bit operations work on "atomic_long_t" On architectures where the atomicity of the bit operations is handled by external means (ie a separate spinlock to protect concurrent accesses), just doing a direct assignment on the workqueue data field (as done by commit 4594bf159f1962cec3b727954b7c598b07e2e737) can cause the assignment to be lost due to lack of serialization with the bitops on the same word. So we need to serialize the assignment with the locks on those architectures (notably older ARM chips, PA-RISC and sparc32). So rather than using an "unsigned long", let's use "atomic_long_t", which already has a safe assignment operation (atomic_long_set()) on such architectures. This requires that the atomic operations use the same atomicity locks as the bit operations do, but that is largely the case anyway. Sparc32 will probably need fixing. Architectures (including modern ARM with LL/SC) that implement sane atomic operations for SMP won't see any of this matter.

WorkStruct: Pass the work_struct pointer instead of context data Pass the work_struct pointer to the work function rather than context data. The work function can use container_of() to work out the data. For the cases where the container of the work_struct may go away the moment the pending bit is cleared, it is made possible to defer the release of the structure by deferring the clearing of the pending bit. To make this work, an extra flag is introduced into the management side of the work_struct. This governs auto-release of the structure upon execution. Ordinarily, the work queue executor would release the work_struct for further scheduling or deallocation by clearing the pending bit prior to jumping to the work function. This means that, unless the driver makes some guarantee itself that the work_struct won't go away, the work function may not access anything else in the work_struct or its container lest they be deallocated.. This is a problem if the auxiliary data is taken away (as done by the last patch). However, if the pending bit is *not* cleared before jumping to the work function, then the work function *may* access the work_struct and its container with no problems. But then the work function must itself release the work_struct by calling work_release(). In most cases, automatic release is fine, so this is the default. Special initiators exist for the non-auto-release case (ending in _NAR). Signed-Off-By: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

Make workqueue bit operations work on "atomic_long_t" On architectures where the atomicity of the bit operations is handled by external means (ie a separate spinlock to protect concurrent accesses), just doing a direct assignment on the workqueue data field (as done by commit 4594bf159f1962cec3b727954b7c598b07e2e737) can cause the assignment to be lost due to lack of serialization with the bitops on the same word. So we need to serialize the assignment with the locks on those architectures (notably older ARM chips, PA-RISC and sparc32). So rather than using an "unsigned long", let's use "atomic_long_t", which already has a safe assignment operation (atomic_long_set()) on such architectures. This requires that the atomic operations use the same atomicity locks as the bit operations do, but that is largely the case anyway. Sparc32 will probably need fixing. Architectures (including modern ARM with LL/SC) that implement sane atomic operations for SMP won't see any of this matter.

Make workqueue bit operations work on "atomic_long_t" On architectures where the atomicity of the bit operations is handled by external means (ie a separate spinlock to protect concurrent accesses), just doing a direct assignment on the workqueue data field (as done by commit 4594bf159f1962cec3b727954b7c598b07e2e737) can cause the assignment to be lost due to lack of serialization with the bitops on the same word. So we need to serialize the assignment with the locks on those architectures (notably older ARM chips, PA-RISC and sparc32). So rather than using an "unsigned long", let's use "atomic_long_t", which already has a safe assignment operation (atomic_long_set()) on such architectures. This requires that the atomic operations use the same atomicity locks as the bit operations do, but that is largely the case anyway. Sparc32 will probably need fixing. Architectures (including modern ARM with LL/SC) that implement sane atomic operations for SMP won't see any of this matter.

extern void FASTCALL(flush_workqueue(struct workqueue_struct *wq));
implement flush_work() A basic problem with flush_scheduled_work() is that it blocks behind _all_ presently-queued works, rather than just the work whcih the caller wants to flush. If the caller holds some lock, and if one of the queued work happens to want that lock as well then accidental deadlocks can occur. One example of this is the phy layer: it wants to flush work while holding rtnl_lock(). But if a linkwatch event happens to be queued, the phy code will deadlock because the linkwatch callback function takes rtnl_lock. So we implement a new function which will flush a *single* work - just the one which the caller wants to free up. Thus we avoid the accidental deadlocks which can arise from unrelated subsystems' callbacks taking shared locks. flush_work() non-blockingly dequeues the work_struct which we want to kill, then it waits for its handler to complete on all CPUs. Add ->current_work to the "struct cpu_workqueue_struct", it points to currently running "struct work_struct". When flush_work(work) detects ->current_work == work, it inserts a barrier at the _head_ of ->worklist (and thus right _after_ that work) and waits for completition. This means that the next work fired on that CPU will be this barrier, or another barrier queued by concurrent flush_work(), so the caller of flush_work() will be woken before any "regular" work has a chance to run. When wait_on_work() unlocks workqueue_mutex (or whatever we choose to protect against CPU hotplug), CPU may go away. But in that case take_over_work() will move a barrier we queued to another CPU, it will be fired sometime, and wait_on_work() will be woken. Actually, we are doing cleanup_workqueue_thread()->kthread_stop() before take_over_work(), so cwq->thread should complete its ->worklist (and thus the barrier), because currently we don't check kthread_should_stop() in run_workqueue(). But even if we did, everything should be ok.

[WORKQUEUE]: cancel_delayed_work: use del_timer() instead of del_timer_sync() del_timer_sync() buys nothing for cancel_delayed_work(), but it is less efficient since it locks the timer unconditionally, and may wait for the completion of the delayed_work_timer_fn(). cancel_delayed_work() == 0 means: before this patch: work->func may still be running or queued after this patch: work->func may still be running or queued, or delayed_work_timer_fn->__queue_work() in progress. The latter doesn't differ from the caller's POV, delayed_work_timer_fn() is called with _PENDING bit set. cancel_delayed_work() == 1 with this patch adds a new possibility: delayed_work->work was cancelled, but delayed_work_timer_fn is still running (this is only possible for the re-arming works on single-threaded workqueue). In this case the timer was re-started by work->func(), nobody else can do this. This in turn means that delayed_work_timer_fn has already passed __queue_work() (and wont't touch delayed_work) because nobody else can queue delayed_work->work.

* function may still be running on return from cancel_delayed_work(), unless
* it returns 1 and the work doesn't re-arm itself. Run flush_workqueue() or
implement flush_work() A basic problem with flush_scheduled_work() is that it blocks behind _all_ presently-queued works, rather than just the work whcih the caller wants to flush. If the caller holds some lock, and if one of the queued work happens to want that lock as well then accidental deadlocks can occur. One example of this is the phy layer: it wants to flush work while holding rtnl_lock(). But if a linkwatch event happens to be queued, the phy code will deadlock because the linkwatch callback function takes rtnl_lock. So we implement a new function which will flush a *single* work - just the one which the caller wants to free up. Thus we avoid the accidental deadlocks which can arise from unrelated subsystems' callbacks taking shared locks. flush_work() non-blockingly dequeues the work_struct which we want to kill, then it waits for its handler to complete on all CPUs. Add ->current_work to the "struct cpu_workqueue_struct", it points to currently running "struct work_struct". When flush_work(work) detects ->current_work == work, it inserts a barrier at the _head_ of ->worklist (and thus right _after_ that work) and waits for completition. This means that the next work fired on that CPU will be this barrier, or another barrier queued by concurrent flush_work(), so the caller of flush_work() will be woken before any "regular" work has a chance to run. When wait_on_work() unlocks workqueue_mutex (or whatever we choose to protect against CPU hotplug), CPU may go away. But in that case take_over_work() will move a barrier we queued to another CPU, it will be fired sometime, and wait_on_work() will be woken. Actually, we are doing cleanup_workqueue_thread()->kthread_stop() before take_over_work(), so cwq->thread should complete its ->worklist (and thus the barrier), because currently we don't check kthread_should_stop() in run_workqueue(). But even if we did, everything should be ok.

We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!

WorkStruct: Separate delayable and non-delayable events. Separate delayable work items from non-delayable work items be splitting them into a separate structure (delayed_work), which incorporates a work_struct and the timer_list removed from work_struct. The work_struct struct is huge, and this limits it's usefulness. On a 64-bit architecture it's nearly 100 bytes in size. This reduces that by half for the non-delayable type of event.

make cancel_rearming_delayed_work() work on any workqueue, not just keventd_wq cancel_rearming_delayed_workqueue(wq, dwork) doesn't need the first parameter. We don't hang on un-queued dwork any longer, and work->data doesn't change its type. This means we can always figure out "wq" from dwork when it is needed. Remove this parameter, and rename the function to cancel_rearming_delayed_work(). Re-create an inline "obsolete" cancel_rearming_delayed_workqueue(wq) which just calls cancel_rearming_delayed_work().
