workqueue: implement concurrency managed dynamic worker pool Instead of creating a worker for each cwq and putting it into the shared pool, manage per-cpu workers dynamically. Works aren't supposed to be cpu cycle hogs and maintaining just enough concurrency to prevent work processing from stalling due to lack of processing context is optimal. gcwq keeps the number of concurrent active workers to minimum but no less. As long as there's one or more running workers on the cpu, no new worker is scheduled so that works can be processed in batch as much as possible but when the last running worker blocks, gcwq immediately schedules new worker so that the cpu doesn't sit idle while there are works to be processed. gcwq always keeps at least single idle worker around. When a new worker is necessary and the worker is the last idle one, the worker assumes the role of "manager" and manages the worker pool - ie. creates another worker. Forward-progress is guaranteed by having dedicated rescue workers for workqueues which may be necessary while creating a new worker. When the manager is having problem creating a new worker, mayday timer activates and rescue workers are summoned to the cpu and execute works which might be necessary to create new workers. Trustee is expanded to serve the role of manager while a CPU is being taken down and stays down. As no new works are supposed to be queued on a dead cpu, it just needs to drain all the existing ones. Trustee continues to try to create new workers and summon rescuers as long as there are pending works. If the CPU is brought back up while the trustee is still trying to drain the gcwq from the previous offlining, the trustee will kill all idles ones and tell workers which are still busy to rebind to the cpu, and pass control over to gcwq which assumes the manager role as necessary. Concurrency managed worker pool reduces the number of workers drastically. Only workers which are necessary to keep the processing going are created and kept. Also, it reduces cache footprint by avoiding unnecessarily switching contexts between different workers. Please note that this patch does not increase max_active of any workqueue. All workqueues can still only process one work per cpu. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

workqueue: reimplement workqueue flushing using color coded works Reimplement workqueue flushing using color coded works. wq has the current work color which is painted on the works being issued via cwqs. Flushing a workqueue is achieved by advancing the current work colors of cwqs and waiting for all the works which have any of the previous colors to drain. Currently there are 16 possible colors, one is reserved for no color and 15 colors are useable allowing 14 concurrent flushes. When color space gets full, flush attempts are batched up and processed together when color frees up, so even with many concurrent flushers, the new implementation won't build up huge queue of flushers which has to be processed one after another. Only works which are queued via __queue_work() are colored. Works which are directly put on queue using insert_work() use NO_COLOR and don't participate in workqueue flushing. Currently only works used for work-specific flush fall in this category. This new implementation leaves only cleanup_workqueue_thread() as the user of flush_cpu_workqueue(). Just make its users use flush_workqueue() and kthread_stop() directly and kill cleanup_workqueue_thread(). As workqueue flushing doesn't use barrier request anymore, the comment describing the complex synchronization around it in cleanup_workqueue_thread() is removed together with the function. This new implementation is to allow having and sharing multiple workers per cpu. Please note that one more bit is reserved for a future work flag by this patch. This is to avoid shifting bits and updating comments later. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

Works aren't supposed to be cpu cycle hogs and maintaining just enough concurrency to prevent work processing from stalling due to lack of processing context is optimal. gcwq keeps the number of concurrent active workers to minimum but no less. As long as there's one or more running workers on the cpu, no new worker is scheduled so that works can be processed in batch as much as possible but when the last running worker blocks, gcwq immediately schedules new worker so that the cpu doesn't sit idle while there are works to be processed. gcwq always keeps at least single idle worker around. When a new worker is necessary and the worker is the last idle one, the worker assumes the role of "manager" and manages the worker pool - ie. creates another worker. Forward-progress is guaranteed by having dedicated rescue workers for workqueues which may be necessary while creating a new worker. When the manager is having problem creating a new worker, mayday timer activates and rescue workers are summoned to the cpu and execute works which might be necessary to create new workers. Trustee is expanded to serve the role of manager while a CPU is being taken down and stays down. As no new works are supposed to be queued on a dead cpu, it just needs to drain all the existing ones. Trustee continues to try to create new workers and summon rescuers as long as there are pending works. If the CPU is brought back up while the trustee is still trying to drain the gcwq from the previous offlining, the trustee will kill all idles ones and tell workers which are still busy to rebind to the cpu, and pass control over to gcwq which assumes the manager role as necessary. Concurrency managed worker pool reduces the number of workers drastically. Only workers which are necessary to keep the processing going are created and kept. Also, it reduces cache footprint by avoiding unnecessarily switching contexts between different workers. Please note that this patch does not increase max_active of any workqueue. All workqueues can still only process one work per cpu. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

workqueue: use shared worklist and pool all workers per cpu Use gcwq->worklist instead of cwq->worklist and break the strict association between a cwq and its worker. All works queued on a cpu are queued on gcwq->worklist and processed by any available worker on the gcwq. As there no longer is strict association between a cwq and its worker, whether a work is executing can now only be determined by calling [__]find_worker_executing_work(). After this change, the only association between a cwq and its worker is that a cwq puts a worker into shared worker pool on creation and kills it on destruction. As all workqueues are still limited to max_active of one, this means that there are always at least as many workers as active works and thus there's no danger for deadlock. The break of strong association between cwqs and workers requires somewhat clumsy changes to current_is_keventd() and destroy_workqueue(). Dynamic worker pool management will remove both clumsy changes. current_is_keventd() won't be necessary at all as the only reason it exists is to avoid queueing a work from a work which will be allowed just fine. The clumsy part of destroy_workqueue() is added because a worker can only be destroyed while idle and there's no guarantee a worker is idle when its wq is going down. With dynamic pool management, workers are not associated with workqueues at all and only idle ones will be submitted to destroy_workqueue() so the code won't be necessary anymore.

workqueue: reimplement workqueue flushing using color coded works Reimplement workqueue flushing using color coded works. wq has the current work color which is painted on the works being issued via cwqs. Flushing a workqueue is achieved by advancing the current work colors of cwqs and waiting for all the works which have any of the previous colors to drain. Currently there are 16 possible colors, one is reserved for no color and 15 colors are useable allowing 14 concurrent flushes. When color space gets full, flush attempts are batched up and processed together when color frees up, so even with many concurrent flushers, the new implementation won't build up huge queue of flushers which has to be processed one after another. Only works which are queued via __queue_work() are colored. Works which are directly put on queue using insert_work() use NO_COLOR and don't participate in workqueue flushing. Currently only works used for work-specific flush fall in this category. This new implementation leaves only cleanup_workqueue_thread() as the user of flush_cpu_workqueue(). Just make its users use flush_workqueue() and kthread_stop() directly and kill cleanup_workqueue_thread(). As workqueue flushing doesn't use barrier request anymore, the comment describing the complex synchronization around it in cleanup_workqueue_thread() is removed together with the function. This new implementation is to allow having and sharing multiple workers per cpu. Please note that one more bit is reserved for a future work flag by this patch.

Only works which are queued via __queue_work() are colored. Works which are directly put on queue using insert_work() use NO_COLOR and don't participate in workqueue flushing. Currently only works used for work-specific flush fall in this category. This new implementation leaves only cleanup_workqueue_thread() as the user of flush_cpu_workqueue(). Just make its users use flush_workqueue() and kthread_stop() directly and kill cleanup_workqueue_thread(). As workqueue flushing doesn't use barrier request anymore, the comment describing the complex synchronization around it in cleanup_workqueue_thread() is removed together with the function. This new implementation is to allow having and sharing multiple workers per cpu. Please note that one more bit is reserved for a future work flag by this patch. This is to avoid shifting bits and updating comments later. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

[PATCH] WorkStruct: Use direct assignment rather than cmpxchg() Use direct assignment rather than cmpxchg() as the latter is unavailable and unimplementable on some platforms and is actually unnecessary. The use of cmpxchg() was to guard against two possibilities, neither of which can actually occur: (1) The pending flag may have been unset or may be cleared. However, given where it's called, the pending flag is _always_ set. I don't think it can be unset whilst we're in set_wq_data(). Once the work is enqueued to be actually run, the only way off the queue is for it to be actually run. If it's a delayed work item, then the bit can't be cleared by the timer because we haven't started the timer yet. Also, the pending bit can't be cleared by cancelling the delayed work _until_ the work item has had its timer started. (2) The workqueue pointer might change. This can only happen in two cases: (a) The work item has just been queued to actually run, and so we're protected by the appropriate workqueue spinlock. (b) A delayed work item is being queued, and so the timer hasn't been started yet, and so no one else knows about the work item or can access it (the pending bit protects us). Besides, set_wq_data() _sets_ the workqueue pointer unconditionally, so it can be assigned instead. So, replacing the set_wq_data() with a straight assignment would be okay in most cases. The problem is where we end up tangling with test_and_set_bit() emulated using spinlocks, and even then it's not a problem _provided_ test_and_set_bit() doesn't attempt to modify the word if the bit was set. If that's a problem, then a bitops-proofed assignment will be required - equivalent to atomic_set() vs other atomic_xxx() ops.

workqueue: implement concurrency managed dynamic worker pool Instead of creating a worker for each cwq and putting it into the shared pool, manage per-cpu workers dynamically. Works aren't supposed to be cpu cycle hogs and maintaining just enough concurrency to prevent work processing from stalling due to lack of processing context is optimal. gcwq keeps the number of concurrent active workers to minimum but no less. As long as there's one or more running workers on the cpu, no new worker is scheduled so that works can be processed in batch as much as possible but when the last running worker blocks, gcwq immediately schedules new worker so that the cpu doesn't sit idle while there are works to be processed. gcwq always keeps at least single idle worker around. When a new worker is necessary and the worker is the last idle one, the worker assumes the role of "manager" and manages the worker pool - ie. creates another worker. Forward-progress is guaranteed by having dedicated rescue workers for workqueues which may be necessary while creating a new worker. When the manager is having problem creating a new worker, mayday timer activates and rescue workers are summoned to the cpu and execute works which might be necessary to create new workers. Trustee is expanded to serve the role of manager while a CPU is being taken down and stays down. As no new works are supposed to be queued on a dead cpu, it just needs to drain all the existing ones. Trustee continues to try to create new workers and summon rescuers as long as there are pending works. If the CPU is brought back up while the trustee is still trying to drain the gcwq from the previous offlining, the trustee will kill all idles ones and tell workers which are still busy to rebind to the cpu, and pass control over to gcwq which assumes the manager role as necessary. Concurrency managed worker pool reduces the number of workers drastically. Only workers which are necessary to keep the processing going are created and kept. Also, it reduces cache footprint by avoiding unnecessarily switching contexts between different workers. Please note that this patch does not increase max_active of any workqueue.

workqueue: use shared worklist and pool all workers per cpu Use gcwq->worklist instead of cwq->worklist and break the strict association between a cwq and its worker. All works queued on a cpu are queued on gcwq->worklist and processed by any available worker on the gcwq. As there no longer is strict association between a cwq and its worker, whether a work is executing can now only be determined by calling [__]find_worker_executing_work(). After this change, the only association between a cwq and its worker is that a cwq puts a worker into shared worker pool on creation and kills it on destruction. As all workqueues are still limited to max_active of one, this means that there are always at least as many workers as active works and thus there's no danger for deadlock. The break of strong association between cwqs and workers requires somewhat clumsy changes to current_is_keventd() and destroy_workqueue(). Dynamic worker pool management will remove both clumsy changes. current_is_keventd() won't be necessary at all as the only reason it exists is to avoid queueing a work from a work which will be allowed just fine. The clumsy part of destroy_workqueue() is added because a worker can only be destroyed while idle and there's no guarantee a worker is idle when its wq is going down. With dynamic pool management, workers are not associated with workqueues at all and only idle ones will be submitted to destroy_workqueue() so the code won't be necessary anymore.

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().

make cancel_rearming_delayed_work() reliable Thanks to Jarek Poplawski for the ideas and for spotting the bug in the initial draft patch. cancel_rearming_delayed_work() currently has many limitations, because it requires that dwork always re-arms itself via queue_delayed_work(). So it hangs forever if dwork doesn't do this, or cancel_rearming_delayed_work/ cancel_delayed_work was already called. It uses flush_workqueue() in a loop, so it can't be used if workqueue was freezed, and it is potentially live- lockable on busy system if delay is small. With this patch cancel_rearming_delayed_work() doesn't make any assumptions about dwork, it can re-arm itself via queue_delayed_work(), or queue_work(), or do nothing. As a "side effect", cancel_work_sync() was changed to handle re-arming works as well. Disadvantages: - this patch adds wmb() to insert_work(). - slowdowns the fast path (when del_timer() succeeds on entry) of cancel_rearming_delayed_work(), because wait_on_work() is called unconditionally. In that case, compared to the old version, we are doing "unneeded" lock/unlock for each online CPU. On the other hand, this means we don't need to use cancel_work_sync() after cancel_rearming_delayed_work(). - complicates the code (.text grows by 130 bytes).

workqueue: reimplement workqueue flushing using color coded works Reimplement workqueue flushing using color coded works. wq has the current work color which is painted on the works being issued via cwqs. Flushing a workqueue is achieved by advancing the current work colors of cwqs and waiting for all the works which have any of the previous colors to drain. Currently there are 16 possible colors, one is reserved for no color and 15 colors are useable allowing 14 concurrent flushes. When color space gets full, flush attempts are batched up and processed together when color frees up, so even with many concurrent flushers, the new implementation won't build up huge queue of flushers which has to be processed one after another. Only works which are queued via __queue_work() are colored. Works which are directly put on queue using insert_work() use NO_COLOR and don't participate in workqueue flushing. Currently only works used for work-specific flush fall in this category. This new implementation leaves only cleanup_workqueue_thread() as the user of flush_cpu_workqueue(). Just make its users use flush_workqueue() and kthread_stop() directly and kill cleanup_workqueue_thread(). As workqueue flushing doesn't use barrier request anymore, the comment describing the complex synchronization around it in cleanup_workqueue_thread() is removed together with the function. This new implementation is to allow having and sharing multiple workers per cpu. Please note that one more bit is reserved for a future work flag by this patch. This is to avoid shifting bits and updating comments later. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

workqueue: implement concurrency managed dynamic worker pool Instead of creating a worker for each cwq and putting it into the shared pool, manage per-cpu workers dynamically. Works aren't supposed to be cpu cycle hogs and maintaining just enough concurrency to prevent work processing from stalling due to lack of processing context is optimal. gcwq keeps the number of concurrent active workers to minimum but no less. As long as there's one or more running workers on the cpu, no new worker is scheduled so that works can be processed in batch as much as possible but when the last running worker blocks, gcwq immediately schedules new worker so that the cpu doesn't sit idle while there are works to be processed. gcwq always keeps at least single idle worker around. When a new worker is necessary and the worker is the last idle one, the worker assumes the role of "manager" and manages the worker pool - ie. creates another worker. Forward-progress is guaranteed by having dedicated rescue workers for workqueues which may be necessary while creating a new worker. When the manager is having problem creating a new worker, mayday timer activates and rescue workers are summoned to the cpu and execute works which might be necessary to create new workers. Trustee is expanded to serve the role of manager while a CPU is being taken down and stays down. As no new works are supposed to be queued on a dead cpu, it just needs to drain all the existing ones. Trustee continues to try to create new workers and summon rescuers as long as there are pending works. If the CPU is brought back up while the trustee is still trying to drain the gcwq from the previous offlining, the trustee will kill all idles ones and tell workers which are still busy to rebind to the cpu, and pass control over to gcwq which assumes the manager role as necessary. Concurrency managed worker pool reduces the number of workers drastically. Only workers which are necessary to keep the processing going are created and kept. Also, it reduces cache footprint by avoiding unnecessarily switching contexts between different workers. Please note that this patch does not increase max_active of any workqueue.

workqueue: implement concurrency managed dynamic worker pool Instead of creating a worker for each cwq and putting it into the shared pool, manage per-cpu workers dynamically. Works aren't supposed to be cpu cycle hogs and maintaining just enough concurrency to prevent work processing from stalling due to lack of processing context is optimal. gcwq keeps the number of concurrent active workers to minimum but no less. As long as there's one or more running workers on the cpu, no new worker is scheduled so that works can be processed in batch as much as possible but when the last running worker blocks, gcwq immediately schedules new worker so that the cpu doesn't sit idle while there are works to be processed. gcwq always keeps at least single idle worker around. When a new worker is necessary and the worker is the last idle one, the worker assumes the role of "manager" and manages the worker pool - ie. creates another worker. Forward-progress is guaranteed by having dedicated rescue workers for workqueues which may be necessary while creating a new worker. When the manager is having problem creating a new worker, mayday timer activates and rescue workers are summoned to the cpu and execute works which might be necessary to create new workers. Trustee is expanded to serve the role of manager while a CPU is being taken down and stays down. As no new works are supposed to be queued on a dead cpu, it just needs to drain all the existing ones. Trustee continues to try to create new workers and summon rescuers as long as there are pending works. If the CPU is brought back up while the trustee is still trying to drain the gcwq from the previous offlining, the trustee will kill all idles ones and tell workers which are still busy to rebind to the cpu, and pass control over to gcwq which assumes the manager role as necessary. Concurrency managed worker pool reduces the number of workers drastically. Only workers which are necessary to keep the processing going are created and kept. Also, it reduces cache footprint by avoiding unnecessarily switching contexts between different workers. Please note that this patch does not increase max_active of any workqueue. All workqueues can still only process one work per cpu. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

workqueue: reimplement workqueue flushing using color coded works Reimplement workqueue flushing using color coded works. wq has the current work color which is painted on the works being issued via cwqs. Flushing a workqueue is achieved by advancing the current work colors of cwqs and waiting for all the works which have any of the previous colors to drain. Currently there are 16 possible colors, one is reserved for no color and 15 colors are useable allowing 14 concurrent flushes. When color space gets full, flush attempts are batched up and processed together when color frees up, so even with many concurrent flushers, the new implementation won't build up huge queue of flushers which has to be processed one after another. Only works which are queued via __queue_work() are colored. Works which are directly put on queue using insert_work() use NO_COLOR and don't participate in workqueue flushing. Currently only works used for work-specific flush fall in this category. This new implementation leaves only cleanup_workqueue_thread() as the user of flush_cpu_workqueue(). Just make its users use flush_workqueue() and kthread_stop() directly and kill cleanup_workqueue_thread(). As workqueue flushing doesn't use barrier request anymore, the comment describing the complex synchronization around it in cleanup_workqueue_thread() is removed together with the function. This new implementation is to allow having and sharing multiple workers per cpu. Please note that one more bit is reserved for a future work flag by this patch.

Currently there are 16 possible colors, one is reserved for no color and 15 colors are useable allowing 14 concurrent flushes. When color space gets full, flush attempts are batched up and processed together when color frees up, so even with many concurrent flushers, the new implementation won't build up huge queue of flushers which has to be processed one after another. Only works which are queued via __queue_work() are colored. Works which are directly put on queue using insert_work() use NO_COLOR and don't participate in workqueue flushing. Currently only works used for work-specific flush fall in this category. This new implementation leaves only cleanup_workqueue_thread() as the user of flush_cpu_workqueue(). Just make its users use flush_workqueue() and kthread_stop() directly and kill cleanup_workqueue_thread(). As workqueue flushing doesn't use barrier request anymore, the comment describing the complex synchronization around it in cleanup_workqueue_thread() is removed together with the function. This new implementation is to allow having and sharing multiple workers per cpu. Please note that one more bit is reserved for a future work flag by this patch. This is to avoid shifting bits and updating comments later. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

workqueue: implement concurrency managed dynamic worker pool Instead of creating a worker for each cwq and putting it into the shared pool, manage per-cpu workers dynamically. Works aren't supposed to be cpu cycle hogs and maintaining just enough concurrency to prevent work processing from stalling due to lack of processing context is optimal. gcwq keeps the number of concurrent active workers to minimum but no less. As long as there's one or more running workers on the cpu, no new worker is scheduled so that works can be processed in batch as much as possible but when the last running worker blocks, gcwq immediately schedules new worker so that the cpu doesn't sit idle while there are works to be processed. gcwq always keeps at least single idle worker around. When a new worker is necessary and the worker is the last idle one, the worker assumes the role of "manager" and manages the worker pool - ie. creates another worker. Forward-progress is guaranteed by having dedicated rescue workers for workqueues which may be necessary while creating a new worker. When the manager is having problem creating a new worker, mayday timer activates and rescue workers are summoned to the cpu and execute works which might be necessary to create new workers. Trustee is expanded to serve the role of manager while a CPU is being taken down and stays down. As no new works are supposed to be queued on a dead cpu, it just needs to drain all the existing ones. Trustee continues to try to create new workers and summon rescuers as long as there are pending works. If the CPU is brought back up while the trustee is still trying to drain the gcwq from the previous offlining, the trustee will kill all idles ones and tell workers which are still busy to rebind to the cpu, and pass control over to gcwq which assumes the manager role as necessary. Concurrency managed worker pool reduces the number of workers drastically. Only workers which are necessary to keep the processing going are created and kept. Also, it reduces cache footprint by avoiding unnecessarily switching contexts between different workers. Please note that this patch does not increase max_active of any workqueue.

workqueue: use shared worklist and pool all workers per cpu Use gcwq->worklist instead of cwq->worklist and break the strict association between a cwq and its worker. All works queued on a cpu are queued on gcwq->worklist and processed by any available worker on the gcwq. As there no longer is strict association between a cwq and its worker, whether a work is executing can now only be determined by calling [__]find_worker_executing_work(). After this change, the only association between a cwq and its worker is that a cwq puts a worker into shared worker pool on creation and kills it on destruction. As all workqueues are still limited to max_active of one, this means that there are always at least as many workers as active works and thus there's no danger for deadlock. The break of strong association between cwqs and workers requires somewhat clumsy changes to current_is_keventd() and destroy_workqueue(). Dynamic worker pool management will remove both clumsy changes. current_is_keventd() won't be necessary at all as the only reason it exists is to avoid queueing a work from a work which will be allowed just fine. The clumsy part of destroy_workqueue() is added because a worker can only be destroyed while idle and there's no guarantee a worker is idle when its wq is going down. With dynamic pool management, workers are not associated with workqueues at all and only idle ones will be submitted to destroy_workqueue() so the code won't be necessary anymore.

* Prepare cwqs for workqueue flushing.
*
* If @flush_color is non-negative, flush_color on all cwqs should be
* -1. If no cwq has in-flight commands at the specified color, all
* cwq->flush_color's stay at -1 and %false is returned. If any cwq
* has in flight commands, its cwq->flush_color is set to

*
* The caller should have initialized @wq->first_flusher prior to

*
* If @work_color is non-negative, all cwqs should have the same

workqueue: reimplement workqueue flushing using color coded works Reimplement workqueue flushing using color coded works. wq has the current work color which is painted on the works being issued via cwqs. Flushing a workqueue is achieved by advancing the current work colors of cwqs and waiting for all the works which have any of the previous colors to drain. Currently there are 16 possible colors, one is reserved for no color and 15 colors are useable allowing 14 concurrent flushes. When color space gets full, flush attempts are batched up and processed together when color frees up, so even with many concurrent flushers, the new implementation won't build up huge queue of flushers which has to be processed one after another. Only works which are queued via __queue_work() are colored. Works which are directly put on queue using insert_work() use NO_COLOR and don't participate in workqueue flushing. Currently only works used for work-specific flush fall in this category. This new implementation leaves only cleanup_workqueue_thread() as the user of flush_cpu_workqueue(). Just make its users use flush_workqueue() and kthread_stop() directly and kill cleanup_workqueue_thread(). As workqueue flushing doesn't use barrier request anymore, the comment describing the complex synchronization around it in cleanup_workqueue_thread() is removed together with the function. This new implementation is to allow having and sharing multiple workers per cpu. Please note that one more bit is reserved for a future work flag by this patch. This is to avoid shifting bits and updating comments later. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

make cancel_rearming_delayed_work() reliable Thanks to Jarek Poplawski for the ideas and for spotting the bug in the initial draft patch. cancel_rearming_delayed_work() currently has many limitations, because it requires that dwork always re-arms itself via queue_delayed_work(). So it hangs forever if dwork doesn't do this, or cancel_rearming_delayed_work/ cancel_delayed_work was already called. It uses flush_workqueue() in a loop, so it can't be used if workqueue was freezed, and it is potentially live- lockable on busy system if delay is small. With this patch cancel_rearming_delayed_work() doesn't make any assumptions about dwork, it can re-arm itself via queue_delayed_work(), or queue_work(), or do nothing. As a "side effect", cancel_work_sync() was changed to handle re-arming works as well. Disadvantages: - this patch adds wmb() to insert_work(). - slowdowns the fast path (when del_timer() succeeds on entry) of cancel_rearming_delayed_work(), because wait_on_work() is called unconditionally. In that case, compared to the old version, we are doing "unneeded" lock/unlock for each online CPU. On the other hand, this means we don't need to use cancel_work_sync() after cancel_rearming_delayed_work(). - complicates the code (.text grows by 130 bytes).

make cancel_rearming_delayed_work() reliable Thanks to Jarek Poplawski for the ideas and for spotting the bug in the initial draft patch. cancel_rearming_delayed_work() currently has many limitations, because it requires that dwork always re-arms itself via queue_delayed_work(). So it hangs forever if dwork doesn't do this, or cancel_rearming_delayed_work/ cancel_delayed_work was already called. It uses flush_workqueue() in a loop, so it can't be used if workqueue was freezed, and it is potentially live- lockable on busy system if delay is small.

Disadvantages: - this patch adds wmb() to insert_work(). - slowdowns the fast path (when del_timer() succeeds on entry) of cancel_rearming_delayed_work(), because wait_on_work() is called unconditionally. In that case, compared to the old version, we are doing "unneeded" lock/unlock for each online CPU.

static void wait_on_cpu_work(struct global_cwq *gcwq, struct work_struct *work)
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().

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().

workqueue: reimplement workqueue flushing using color coded works Reimplement workqueue flushing using color coded works. wq has the current work color which is painted on the works being issued via cwqs. Flushing a workqueue is achieved by advancing the current work colors of cwqs and waiting for all the works which have any of the previous colors to drain. Currently there are 16 possible colors, one is reserved for no color and 15 colors are useable allowing 14 concurrent flushes. When color space gets full, flush attempts are batched up and processed together when color frees up, so even with many concurrent flushers, the new implementation won't build up huge queue of flushers which has to be processed one after another. Only works which are queued via __queue_work() are colored. Works which are directly put on queue using insert_work() use NO_COLOR and don't participate in workqueue flushing. Currently only works used for work-specific flush fall in this category. This new implementation leaves only cleanup_workqueue_thread() as the user of flush_cpu_workqueue(). Just make its users use flush_workqueue() and kthread_stop() directly and kill cleanup_workqueue_thread(). As workqueue flushing doesn't use barrier request anymore, the comment describing the complex synchronization around it in cleanup_workqueue_thread() is removed together with the function. This new implementation is to allow having and sharing multiple workers per cpu. Please note that one more bit is reserved for a future work flag by this patch.

workqueue: implement concurrency managed dynamic worker pool Instead of creating a worker for each cwq and putting it into the shared pool, manage per-cpu workers dynamically. Works aren't supposed to be cpu cycle hogs and maintaining just enough concurrency to prevent work processing from stalling due to lack of processing context is optimal. gcwq keeps the number of concurrent active workers to minimum but no less. As long as there's one or more running workers on the cpu, no new worker is scheduled so that works can be processed in batch as much as possible but when the last running worker blocks, gcwq immediately schedules new worker so that the cpu doesn't sit idle while there are works to be processed. gcwq always keeps at least single idle worker around. When a new worker is necessary and the worker is the last idle one, the worker assumes the role of "manager" and manages the worker pool - ie. creates another worker. Forward-progress is guaranteed by having dedicated rescue workers for workqueues which may be necessary while creating a new worker. When the manager is having problem creating a new worker, mayday timer activates and rescue workers are summoned to the cpu and execute works which might be necessary to create new workers. Trustee is expanded to serve the role of manager while a CPU is being taken down and stays down. As no new works are supposed to be queued on a dead cpu, it just needs to drain all the existing ones. Trustee continues to try to create new workers and summon rescuers as long as there are pending works. If the CPU is brought back up while the trustee is still trying to drain the gcwq from the previous offlining, the trustee will kill all idles ones and tell workers which are still busy to rebind to the cpu, and pass control over to gcwq which assumes the manager role as necessary. Concurrency managed worker pool reduces the number of workers drastically. Only workers which are necessary to keep the processing going are created and kept. Also, it reduces cache footprint by avoiding unnecessarily switching contexts between different workers. Please note that this patch does not increase max_active of any workqueue. All workqueues can still only process one work per cpu. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

* There are two challenges in supporting CPU hotplug. Firstly, there
* are a lot of assumptions on strong associations among work, cwq and
* gcwq which make migrating pending and scheduled works very
* difficult to implement without impacting hot paths. Secondly,
* gcwqs serve mix of short, long and very long running works making
* blocked draining impractical.
*
* This is solved by allowing a gcwq to be detached from CPU, running
* it with unbound (rogue) workers and allowing it to be reattached
* later if the cpu comes back online. A separate thread is created
* to govern a gcwq in such state and is called the trustee of the
* gcwq.
*
* Trustee states and their descriptions.
*
* START Command state used on startup. On CPU_DOWN_PREPARE, a
* new trustee is started with this state.

* IN_CHARGE Once started, trustee will enter this state after
workqueue: implement concurrency managed dynamic worker pool Instead of creating a worker for each cwq and putting it into the shared pool, manage per-cpu workers dynamically. Works aren't supposed to be cpu cycle hogs and maintaining just enough concurrency to prevent work processing from stalling due to lack of processing context is optimal. gcwq keeps the number of concurrent active workers to minimum but no less. As long as there's one or more running workers on the cpu, no new worker is scheduled so that works can be processed in batch as much as possible but when the last running worker blocks, gcwq immediately schedules new worker so that the cpu doesn't sit idle while there are works to be processed. gcwq always keeps at least single idle worker around. When a new worker is necessary and the worker is the last idle one, the worker assumes the role of "manager" and manages the worker pool - ie. creates another worker. Forward-progress is guaranteed by having dedicated rescue workers for workqueues which may be necessary while creating a new worker. When the manager is having problem creating a new worker, mayday timer activates and rescue workers are summoned to the cpu and execute works which might be necessary to create new workers. Trustee is expanded to serve the role of manager while a CPU is being taken down and stays down. As no new works are supposed to be queued on a dead cpu, it just needs to drain all the existing ones.

workqueue: use shared worklist and pool all workers per cpu Use gcwq->worklist instead of cwq->worklist and break the strict association between a cwq and its worker. All works queued on a cpu are queued on gcwq->worklist and processed by any available worker on the gcwq. As there no longer is strict association between a cwq and its worker, whether a work is executing can now only be determined by calling [__]find_worker_executing_work(). After this change, the only association between a cwq and its worker is that a cwq puts a worker into shared worker pool on creation and kills it on destruction. As all workqueues are still limited to max_active of one, this means that there are always at least as many workers as active works and thus there's no danger for deadlock. The break of strong association between cwqs and workers requires somewhat clumsy changes to current_is_keventd() and destroy_workqueue(). Dynamic worker pool management will remove both clumsy changes. current_is_keventd() won't be necessary at all as the only reason it exists is to avoid queueing a work from a work which will be allowed just fine. The clumsy part of destroy_workqueue() is added because a worker can only be destroyed while idle and there's no guarantee a worker is idle when its wq is going down.

workqueue: implement concurrency managed dynamic worker pool Instead of creating a worker for each cwq and putting it into the shared pool, manage per-cpu workers dynamically. Works aren't supposed to be cpu cycle hogs and maintaining just enough concurrency to prevent work processing from stalling due to lack of processing context is optimal. gcwq keeps the number of concurrent active workers to minimum but no less. As long as there's one or more running workers on the cpu, no new worker is scheduled so that works can be processed in batch as much as possible but when the last running worker blocks, gcwq immediately schedules new worker so that the cpu doesn't sit idle while there are works to be processed. gcwq always keeps at least single idle worker around. When a new worker is necessary and the worker is the last idle one, the worker assumes the role of "manager" and manages the worker pool - ie. creates another worker. Forward-progress is guaranteed by having dedicated rescue workers for workqueues which may be necessary while creating a new worker. When the manager is having problem creating a new worker, mayday timer activates and rescue workers are summoned to the cpu and execute works which might be necessary to create new workers. Trustee is expanded to serve the role of manager while a CPU is being taken down and stays down. As no new works are supposed to be queued on a dead cpu, it just needs to drain all the existing ones. Trustee continues to try to create new workers and summon rescuers as long as there are pending works. If the CPU is brought back up while the trustee is still trying to drain the gcwq from the previous offlining, the trustee will kill all idles ones and tell workers which are still busy to rebind to the cpu, and pass control over to gcwq which assumes the manager role as necessary. Concurrency managed worker pool reduces the number of workers drastically. Only workers which are necessary to keep the processing going are created and kept. Also, it reduces cache footprint by avoiding unnecessarily switching contexts between different workers. Please note that this patch does not increase max_active of any workqueue. All workqueues can still only process one work per cpu. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
