The current code will scan the entirety of each per-CPU list of exiting
tasks in ->rtp_exit_list with interrupts disabled. This is normally just
fine, because each CPU typically won't have very many tasks in this state.
However, if a large number of tasks block late in do_exit(), these lists
could be arbitrarily long. Low probability, perhaps, but it really
could happen.
This commit therefore occasionally re-enables interrupts while traversing
these lists, inserting a dummy element to hold the current place in the
list. In kernels built with CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT=y, this re-enabling happens
after each list element is processed, otherwise every one-to-two jiffies.

Holding a mutex across synchronize_rcu_tasks() and acquiring
that same mutex in code called from do_exit() after its call to
exit_tasks_rcu_start() but before its call to exit_tasks_rcu_stop()
results in deadlock. This is by design, because tasks that are far
enough into do_exit() are no longer present on the tasks list, making
it a bit difficult for RCU Tasks to find them, let alone wait on them
to do a voluntary context switch. However, such deadlocks are becoming
more frequent. In addition, lockdep currently does not detect such
deadlocks and they can be difficult to reproduce.
In addition, if a task voluntarily context switches during that time
(for example, if it blocks acquiring a mutex), then this task is in an
RCU Tasks quiescent state. And with some adjustments, RCU Tasks could
just as well take advantage of that fact.
This commit therefore eliminates these deadlock by replacing the
SRCU-based wait for do_exit() completion with per-CPU lists of tasks
currently exiting. A given task will be on one of these per-CPU lists for
the same period of time that this task would previously have been in the
previous SRCU read-side critical section. These lists enable RCU Tasks
to find the tasks that have already been removed from the tasks list,
but that must nevertheless be waited upon.
The RCU Tasks grace period gathers any of these do_exit() tasks that it
must wait on, and adds them to the list of holdouts. Per-CPU locking
and get_task_struct() are used to synchronize addition to and removal
from these lists.

This commit continues the elimination of deadlocks involving do_exit()

task to a per-CPU list and causing exit_tasks_rcu_stop() to remove the

track tasks that are exiting, while still accounting for any RCU-tasks
quiescent states that these tasks pass though.

In order for RCU Tasks to reliably maintain per-CPU lists of exiting
tasks, those lists must be initialized before it is possible for tasks
to exit, especially given that the boot CPU is not necessarily CPU 0
(an example being, powerpc kexec() kernels). And at the time that
rcu_init_tasks_generic() is called, a task could potentially exit,
unconventional though that sort of thing might be.
This commit therefore moves the calls to cblist_init_generic() from
functions called from rcu_init_tasks_generic() to a new function named
tasks_cblist_init_generic() that is invoked from rcu_init().
This constituted a bug in a commit that never went to mainline, so
there is no need for any backporting to -stable.

Waiting for an expedited grace period and polling for an expedited
grace period both are operations that internally rely on the same
workqueue performing necessary asynchronous work.
However, a dependency chain is involved between those two operations,
as depicted below:
====== CPU 0 ======= ====== CPU 1 =======
synchronize_rcu_expedited()
exp_funnel_lock()
mutex_lock(&rcu_state.exp_mutex);
start_poll_synchronize_rcu_expedited
queue_work(rcu_gp_wq, &rnp->exp_poll_wq);
synchronize_rcu_expedited_queue_work()
queue_work(rcu_gp_wq, &rew->rew_work);
wait_event() // A, wait for &rew->rew_work completion
mutex_unlock() // B
//======> switch to kworker
sync_rcu_do_polled_gp() {
synchronize_rcu_expedited()
exp_funnel_lock()
mutex_lock(&rcu_state.exp_mutex); // C, wait B
....
} // D
Since workqueues are usually implemented on top of several kworkers
handling the queue concurrently, the above situation wouldn't deadlock
most of the time because A then doesn't depend on D. But in case of
memory stress, a single kworker may end up handling alone all the works
in a serialized way. In that case the above layout becomes a problem
because A then waits for D, closing a circular dependency:
A -> D -> C -> B -> A
This however only happens when CONFIG_RCU_EXP_KTHREAD=n. Indeed
synchronize_rcu_expedited() is otherwise implemented on top of a kthread
worker while polling still relies on rcu_gp_wq workqueue, breaking the
above circular dependency chain.
Fix this with making expedited grace period to always rely on kthread
worker. The workqueue based implementation is essentially a duplicate
anyway now that the per-node initialization is performed by per-node
kthread workers.
Meanwhile the CONFIG_RCU_EXP_KTHREAD switch is still kept around to
manage the scheduler policy of these kthread workers.

However in CONFIG_RCU_EXP_KTHREAD=y, this per node initialization is
performed by a single kworker serializing each node initialization (one

The second part is certainly less scalable and efficient beyond a single

A full barrier is issued from nocb_gp_wait() upon callbacks advancing
to order grace period completion with callbacks execution.
However these two events are already ordered by the
smp_mb__after_unlock_lock() barrier within the call to
raw_spin_lock_rcu_node() that is necessary for callbacks advancing to
happen.
The following litmus test shows the kind of guarantee that this barrier
provides:
C smp_mb__after_unlock_lock
{}
// rcu_gp_cleanup()
P0(spinlock_t *rnp_lock, int *gpnum)
{
// Grace period cleanup increase gp sequence number
spin_lock(rnp_lock);
WRITE_ONCE(*gpnum, 1);
spin_unlock(rnp_lock);
}
// nocb_gp_wait()
P1(spinlock_t *rnp_lock, spinlock_t *nocb_lock, int *gpnum, int *cb_ready)
{
int r1;
// Call rcu_advance_cbs() from nocb_gp_wait()
spin_lock(nocb_lock);
spin_lock(rnp_lock);
smp_mb__after_unlock_lock();
r1 = READ_ONCE(*gpnum);
WRITE_ONCE(*cb_ready, 1);
spin_unlock(rnp_lock);
spin_unlock(nocb_lock);
}
// nocb_cb_wait()
P2(spinlock_t *nocb_lock, int *cb_ready, int *cb_executed)

// rcu_do_batch() -> rcu_segcblist_extract_done_cbs()
spin_lock(nocb_lock);
r2 = READ_ONCE(*cb_ready);
spin_unlock(nocb_lock);
// Actual callback execution
WRITE_ONCE(*cb_executed, 1);
}
P3(int *cb_executed, int *gpnum)
{
int r3;
WRITE_ONCE(*cb_executed, 2);
smp_mb();
r3 = READ_ONCE(*gpnum);
}
exists (1:r1=1 /\ 2:r2=1 /\ cb_executed=2 /\ 3:r3=0) (* Bad outcome. *)
Here the bad outcome only occurs if the smp_mb__after_unlock_lock() is
removed. This barrier orders the grace period completion against
callbacks advancing and even later callbacks invocation, thanks to the
opportunistic propagation via the ->nocb_lock to nocb_cb_wait().
Therefore the smp_mb() placed after callbacks advancing can be safely

When the CPU goes idle for the last time during the CPU down hotplug
process, RCU reports a final quiescent state for the current CPU. If
this quiescent state propagates up to the top, some tasks may then be
woken up to complete the grace period: the main grace period kthread
and/or the expedited main workqueue (or kworker).
If those kthreads have a SCHED_FIFO policy, the wake up can indirectly
arm the RT bandwith timer to the local offline CPU. Since this happens
after hrtimers have been migrated at CPUHP_AP_HRTIMERS_DYING stage, the
timer gets ignored. Therefore if the RCU kthreads are waiting for RT

The situation can't be solved with just unpinning the timer. The hrtimer
infrastructure and the nohz heuristics involved in finding the best
remote target for an unpinned timer would then also need to handle
enqueues from an offline CPU in the most horrendous way.
So fix this on the RCU side instead and defer the wake up to an online
CPU if it's too late for the local one.

If an rcutorture test scenario creates an fqs_task kthread, it will
periodically invoke rcu_force_quiescent_state() in order to start
force-quiescent-state (FQS) operations. However, an FQS operation
will be started even if there is no RCU grace period in progress.
Although testing FQS operations startup when there is no grace period in
progress is necessary, it need not happen all that often. This commit
therefore causes rcu_force_quiescent_state() to take an early exit
if there is no grace period in progress.
Note that there will still be attempts to start an FQS scan in the
absence of a grace period because the grace period might end right
after the rcu_force_quiescent_state() function's check. In actual
testing, this happens about once every ten minutes, which should
provide adequate testing.

Callbacks advancing on SRCU must be performed on two specific places:
1) On enqueue time in order to make room for the acceleration of the
new callback.
2) On invocation time in order to move the callbacks ready to invoke.
Any other callback advancing callsite is needless. Remove the remaining
one in srcu_gp_start().

Although the RCU CPU stall notifiers can be useful for dumping state when
tracking down delicate forward-progress bugs where NUMA effects cause
cache lines to be delivered to a given CPU regularly, but always in a
state that prevents that CPU from making forward progress. These bugs can
be detected by the RCU CPU stall-warning mechanism, but in some cases,
the stall-warnings printk()s disrupt the forward-progress bug before
any useful state can be obtained.
Unfortunately, the notifier mechanism added by commit 5b404fdaba ("rcu:
Add RCU CPU stall notifier") can make matters worse if used at all
carelessly. For example, if the stall warning was caused by a lock not
being released, then any attempt to acquire that lock in the notifier
will hang. This will prevent not only the notifier from producing any
useful output, but it will also prevent the stall-warning message from
ever appearing.
This commit therefore hides this new RCU CPU stall notifier
mechanism under a new RCU_CPU_STALL_NOTIFIER Kconfig option that
depends on both DEBUG_KERNEL and RCU_EXPERT. In addition, the
rcupdate.rcu_cpu_stall_notifiers=1 kernel boot parameter must also
be specified. The RCU_CPU_STALL_NOTIFIER Kconfig option's help text
contains a warning and explains the dangers of careless use, recommending
lockless notifier code. In addition, a WARN() is triggered each time
that an attempt is made to register a stall-warning notifier in kernels
built with CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_NOTIFIER=y.
This combination of measures will keep use of this mechanism confined to
debug kernels and away from routine deployments.

For rcutorture tests on RCU implementations that support
force-quiescent-state operations and that set the fqs_duration module
parameter greater than zero, the fqs_task kthread will be created.
However, if the fqs_holdoff module parameter is not set, then its default
value of zero will cause fqs_task enter a long-term busy loop until
stopped by kthread_stop(). This commit therefore adds a fqs_holdoff
check before the fqs_task is created, making sure that whenever the
fqs_task is created, the fqs_holdoff will be greater than zero.

The commit:
cff9b2332a ("kernel/sched: Modify initial boot task idle setup")
has changed the semantics of what is to be considered an idle task in
such a way that the idle task of an offline CPU may not carry the
PF_IDLE flag anymore.
However RCU-tasks-trace tests the opposite assertion, still assuming
that idle tasks carry the PF_IDLE flag during their whole lifecycle.
Remove this assumption to avoid spurious warnings but keep the initial
test verifying that the idle task is the current task on any offline
CPU.

The commit:
cff9b2332a ("kernel/sched: Modify initial boot task idle setup")
has changed the semantics of what is to be considered an idle task in
such a way that CPU boot code preceding the actual idle loop is excluded
from it.
This has however introduced new potential RCU-tasks stalls when either:
1) Grace period is started before init/0 had a chance to set PF_IDLE,
keeping it stuck in the holdout list until idle ever schedules.
2) Grace period is started when some possible CPUs have never been
online, keeping their idle tasks stuck in the holdout list until the
CPU ever boots up.
3) Similar to 1) but with secondary CPUs: Grace period is started
concurrently with secondary CPU booting, putting its idle task in
the holdout list because PF_IDLE isn't yet observed on it. It stays
then stuck in the holdout list until that CPU ever schedules. The
effect is mitigated here by the hotplug AP thread that must run to
bring the CPU up.
Fix this with handling the new semantics of PF_IDLE, keeping in mind
that it may or may not be set on an idle task. Take advantage of that to
strengthen the coverage of an RCU-tasks quiescent state within an idle
task, excluding the CPU boot code from it. Only the code running within
the idle loop is now a quiescent state, along with offline CPUs.

Export the RCU point of view as to when a CPU is considered offline
(ie: when does RCU consider that a CPU is sufficiently down in the
hotplug process to not feature any possible read side).
This will be used by RCU-tasks whose vision of an offline CPU should
reasonably match the one of RCU core.

Commit 851a723e45 ("sched: Always clear user_cpus_ptr in
do_set_cpus_allowed()") added a kfree() call to free any user
provided affinity mask, if present. It was changed later to use
kfree_rcu() in commit 9a5418bc48 ("sched/core: Use kfree_rcu()
in do_set_cpus_allowed()") to avoid a circular locking dependency
problem.
It turns out that even kfree_rcu() isn't safe for avoiding
circular locking problem. As reported by kernel test robot,
the following circular locking dependency now exists:
&rdp->nocb_lock --> rcu_node_0 --> &rq->__lock
Solve this by breaking the rcu_node_0 --> &rq->__lock chain by moving
the resched_cpu() out from under rcu_node lock.

Acceleration in SRCU happens on enqueue time for each new callback. This
operation is expected not to fail and therefore any similar attempt
from other places shouldn't find any remaining callbacks to accelerate.
Moreover accelerations performed beyond enqueue time are error prone
because rcu_seq_snap() then may return the snapshot for a new grace
period that is not going to be started.
Remove these dangerous and needless accelerations and introduce instead
assertions reporting leaking unaccelerated callbacks beyond enqueue
time.

SRCU callbacks acceleration might fail if the preceding callbacks
advance also fails. This can happen when the following steps are met:
1) The RCU_WAIT_TAIL segment has callbacks (say for gp_num 8) and the
RCU_NEXT_READY_TAIL also has callbacks (say for gp_num 12).
2) The grace period for RCU_WAIT_TAIL is observed as started but not yet
completed so rcu_seq_current() returns 4 + SRCU_STATE_SCAN1 = 5.
3) This value is passed to rcu_segcblist_advance() which can't move
any segment forward and fails.
4) srcu_gp_start_if_needed() still proceeds with callback acceleration.
But then the call to rcu_seq_snap() observes the grace period for the
RCU_WAIT_TAIL segment (gp_num 8) as completed and the subsequent one
for the RCU_NEXT_READY_TAIL segment as started
(ie: 8 + SRCU_STATE_SCAN1 = 9) so it returns a snapshot of the
next grace period, which is 16.
5) The value of 16 is passed to rcu_segcblist_accelerate() but the
freshly enqueued callback in RCU_NEXT_TAIL can't move to
RCU_NEXT_READY_TAIL which already has callbacks for a previous grace
period (gp_num = 12). So acceleration fails.
6) Note in all these steps, srcu_invoke_callbacks() hadn't had a chance
to run srcu_invoke_callbacks().
Then some very bad outcome may happen if the following happens:
7) Some other CPU races and starts the grace period number 16 before the
CPU handling previous steps had a chance. Therefore srcu_gp_start()
isn't called on the latter sdp to fix the acceleration leak from
previous steps with a new pair of call to advance/accelerate.
8) The grace period 16 completes and srcu_invoke_callbacks() is finally
called. All the callbacks from previous grace periods (8 and 12) are
correctly advanced and executed but callbacks in RCU_NEXT_READY_TAIL
still remain. Then rcu_segcblist_accelerate() is called with a
snaphot of 20.
9) Since nothing started the grace period number 20, callbacks stay
unhandled.

Fix this with taking the snapshot for acceleration _before_ the read
of the current grace period number.
The only side effect of this solution is that callbacks advancing happen
then _after_ the full barrier in rcu_seq_snap(). This is not a problem
because that barrier only cares about:
1) Ordering accesses of the update side before call_srcu() so they don't
bleed.
2) See all the accesses prior to the grace period of the current gp_num
The only things callbacks advancing need to be ordered against are
carried by snp locking.

rcu_report_dead() and rcutree_migrate_callbacks() have their headers in
rcupdate.h while those are pure rcutree calls, like the other CPU-hotplug
functions.
Also rcu_cpu_starting() and rcu_report_dead() have different naming
conventions while they mirror each other's effects.
Fix the headers and propose a naming that relates both functions and
aligns with the prefix of other rcutree CPU-hotplug functions.

Among the three CPU-hotplug teardown RCU callbacks, two of them early
exit if CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=n, and one is left unchanged. In any case
all of them have an implementation when CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=n.
Align instead with the common way to deal with CPU-hotplug teardown
callbacks and provide a proper stub when they are not supported.

rcu_report_dead() has to be called locally by the CPU that is going to
exit the RCU state machine. Passing a cpu argument here is error-prone
and leaves the possibility for a racy remote call.
Use local access instead.

rcu_report_dead() is the last RCU word from the CPU down through the
hotplug path. It is called in the idle loop right before the CPU shuts
down for good. Because it removes the CPU from the grace period state
machine and reports an ultimate quiescent state if necessary, no further
use of RCU is allowed. Therefore it is expected that IRQs are disabled
upon calling this function and are not to be re-enabled again until the
CPU shuts down.
Remove the IRQs disablement from that function and verify instead that
it is actually called with IRQs disabled as it is expected at that
special point in the idle path.
