The ->percpu_enqueue_shift field is used to map from the running CPU
number to the index of the corresponding callback list. This mapping
can change at runtime in response to varying callback load, resulting
in varying levels of contention on the callback-list locks.
Unfortunately, the initial value of this field is correct only if the
system happens to have a power-of-two number of CPUs, otherwise the
callbacks from the high-numbered CPUs can be placed into the callback list
indexed by 1 (rather than 0), and those index-1 callbacks will be ignored.
This can result in soft lockups and hangs.
This commit therefore corrects this mapping, adding one to this shift
count as needed for systems having odd numbers of CPUs.

By default, when lock contention is encountered, the RCU Tasks flavors
of RCU switch to using per-CPU queueing. However, if the callback
flood ends, per-CPU queueing continues to be used, which introduces
significant additional overhead, especially for callback invocation,
which fans out a series of workqueue handlers.
This commit therefore switches back to single-queue operation if at the
beginning of a grace period there are very few callbacks. The definition
of "very few" is set by the rcupdate.rcu_task_collapse_lim module
parameter, which defaults to 10. This switch happens in two phases,
with the first phase causing future callbacks to be enqueued on CPU 0's
queue, but with all queues continuing to be checked for grace periods
and callback invocation. The second phase checks to see if an RCU grace
period has elapsed and if all remaining RCU-Tasks callbacks are queued
on CPU 0. If so, only CPU 0 is checked for future grace periods and
callback operation.
Of course, the return of contention anywhere during this process will
result in returning to per-CPU callback queueing.

Decreasing the number of callback queues is a bit tricky because it
is necessary to handle callbacks that were queued before the number of
queues decreased, but which were not ready to invoke until afterwards.
This commit takes a first step in this direction by maintaining a separate
->percpu_dequeue_lim to control callback dequeueing, in addition to the
existing ->percpu_enqueue_lim which now controls only enqueueing.

The rcupdate.rcu_task_enqueue_lim module parameter allows system
administrators to tune the number of callback queues used by the RCU
Tasks flavors. However if callback storms are infrequent, it would
be better to operate with a single queue on a given system unless and
until that system actually needed more queues. Systems not needing
more queues can then avoid the overhead of checking the extra queues
and especially avoid the overhead of fanning workqueue handlers out to
all CPUs to invoke callbacks.
This commit therefore switches to using all the CPUs' callback queues if
call_rcu_tasks_generic() encounters too much lock contention. The amount
of lock contention to tolerate defaults to 100 contended lock acquisitions
per jiffy, and can be adjusted using the new rcupdate.rcu_task_contend_lim
module parameter.
Such switching is undertaken only if the rcupdate.rcu_task_enqueue_lim
module parameter is negative, which is its default value (-1).
This allows savvy systems administrators to set the number of queues
to some known good value and to not have to worry about the kernel doing
any second guessing.

If the caller of of call_rcu_tasks(), call_rcu_tasks_rude(),
or call_rcu_tasks_trace() holds a raw spinlock, and then if
call_rcu_tasks_generic() determines that the grace-period kthread must
be awakened, then the wakeup might acquire a normal spinlock while a
raw spinlock is held. This results in lockdep splats when the
kernel is built with CONFIG_PROVE_RAW_LOCK_NESTING=y.
This commit therefore defers the wakeup using irq_work_queue().

Currently, rcu_barrier_tasks(), rcu_barrier_tasks_rude(),

synchronize_rcu_tasks*() function. This works because there is only
one callback queue.
However, there will soon be multiple callback queues. This commit
therefore scans the queues currently in use, entraining a callback on
each non-empty queue. Sequence numbers and reference counts are used
to synchronize this process in a manner similar to the approach taken

The trc_wait_for_one_reader() function is called at multiple stages
of trace rcu-tasks GP function, rcu_tasks_wait_gp():
- First, it is called as part of per task function -
rcu_tasks_trace_pertask(), for all non-idle tasks. As part of per task
processing, this function add the task in the holdout list and if the
task is currently running on a CPU, it sends IPI to the task's CPU.
The IPI handler takes action depending on whether task is in trace
rcu-tasks read side critical section or not:
- a. If the task is in trace rcu-tasks read side critical section
(t->trc_reader_nesting != 0), the IPI handler sets the task's
->trc_reader_special.b.need_qs, so that this task notifies exit
from its outermost read side critical section (by decrementing
trc_n_readers_need_end) to the GP handling function.
trc_wait_for_one_reader() also increments trc_n_readers_need_end,
so that the trace rcu-tasks GP handler function waits for this
task's read side exit notification. The IPI handler also sets
t->trc_reader_checked to true, and no further IPIs are sent for
this task, for this trace rcu-tasks grace period and this
task can be removed from holdout list.
- b. If the task is in the process of exiting its trace rcu-tasks
read side critical section, (t->trc_reader_nesting < 0), defer
this task's processing to future calls to trc_wait_for_one_reader().
- c. If task is not in rcu-task read side critical section,
t->trc_reader_nesting == 0, ->trc_reader_checked is set for this
task, so that this task is removed from holdout list.
- Second, trc_wait_for_one_reader() is called as part of post scan, in
function rcu_tasks_trace_postscan(), for all idle tasks.
- Third, in function check_all_holdout_tasks_trace(), this function is
called for each task in the holdout list, but only if there isn't
a pending IPI for the task (->trc_ipi_to_cpu == -1). This function
removed the task from holdout list, if IPI handler has completed the
required work, to ensure that the current trace rcu-tasks grace period
either waits for this task, or this task is not in a trace rcu-tasks
read side critical section.
Now, considering the scenario where smp_call_function_single() fails in
first case, inside rcu_tasks_trace_pertask(). In this case,
->trc_ipi_to_cpu is set to the current CPU for that task. This will
result in trc_wait_for_one_reader() getting skipped in third case,
inside check_all_holdout_tasks_trace(), for this task. This further
results in ->trc_reader_checked never getting set for this task,
and the task not getting removed from holdout list. This can cause
the current trace rcu-tasks grace period to stall.
Fix the above problem, by resetting ->trc_ipi_to_cpu to -1, on
smp_call_function_single() failure, so that future IPI calls can
be send for this task.
Note that all three of the trc_wait_for_one_reader() function's
callers (rcu_tasks_trace_pertask(), rcu_tasks_trace_postscan(),
check_all_holdout_tasks_trace()) hold cpu_read_lock(). This means
that smp_call_function_single() cannot race with CPU hotplug, and thus
should never fail. Therefore, also add a warning in order to report
any such failure in case smp_call_function_single() grows some other
reason for failure.

Currently, trc_inspect_reader() treats a task exiting its RCU Tasks
Trace read-side critical section the same as being within that critical
section. However, this can fail because that task might have already
checked its .need_qs field, which means that it might never decrement
the all-important trc_n_readers_need_end counter. Of course, for that
to happen, the task would need to never again execute an RCU Tasks Trace
read-side critical section, but this really could happen if the system's
last trampoline was removed. Note that exit from such a critical section
cannot be treated as a quiescent state due to the possibility of nested
critical sections. This means that if trc_inspect_reader() sees a
negative nesting value, it must set up to try again later.
This commit therefore ignores tasks that are exiting their RCU Tasks
Trace read-side critical sections so that they will be rechecked later.

Currently, trc_wait_for_one_reader() atomically increments
the trc_n_readers_need_end counter before sending the IPI

This commit therefore simplifies things and saves a few lines of

Currently, RCU Tasks Trace initializes the trc_n_readers_need_end counter
to the value one, increments it before each trc_read_check_handler()
IPI, then decrements it within trc_read_check_handler() if the target
task was in a quiescent state (or if the target task moved to some other
CPU while the IPI was in flight), complaining if the new value was zero.
The rationale for complaining is that the initial value of one must be
decremented away before zero can be reached, and this decrement has not
yet happened.
Except that trc_read_check_handler() is initiated with an asynchronous
smp_call_function_single(), which might be significantly delayed. This
can result in false-positive complaints about the counter reaching zero.
This commit therefore waits for in-flight IPI handlers to complete before
decrementing away the initial value of one from the trc_n_readers_need_end
counter.

Invoking trc_del_holdout() from within trc_wait_for_one_reader() is

In some architectures, the no-op variant of show_rcu_tasks_gp_kthreads()
get "no previous prototype" compiler warnings. These are false positives
given that kernel/rcu/tasks.h is included only once. But why put up
with the compiler noise?
This commit therefore adds "static inline" to this definition to force
the compiler to accept this situation, while also moving it to its proper
place in kernel/rcu/rcu.h.

The command 'find ./kernel/rcu/ | xargs ./scripts/kernel-doc -none'
reported an issue with the kernel-doc of struct rcu_tasks.
This commit rectifies the kernel-doc, such that no issues remain for
./kernel/rcu/.
