srcu.2017.04.21a: Parallelize SRCU callback handling
|
|
Currently, a call to schedule() acts as a Tasks RCU quiescent state
only if a context switch actually takes place. However, just the
call to schedule() guarantees that the calling task has moved off of
whatever tracing trampoline that it might have been one previously.
This commit therefore plumbs schedule()'s "preempt" parameter into
rcu_note_context_switch(), which then records the Tasks RCU quiescent
state, but only if this call to schedule() was -not- due to a preemption.
To avoid adding overhead to the common-case context-switch path,
this commit hides the rcu_note_context_switch() check under an existing
non-common-case check.

Although Tree SRCU does reduce delays when there is at least one
synchronize_srcu_expedited() invocation pending, srcu_schedule_cbs_snp()
still waits for SRCU_INTERVAL before invoking callbacks. Since
synchronize_srcu_expedited() now posts a callback and waits for
that callback to do a wakeup, this destroys the expedited nature of
synchronize_srcu_expedited(). This destruction became apparent to
Marc Zyngier in the guise of a guest-OS bootup slowdown from five
seconds to no fewer than forty seconds.
This commit therefore invokes callbacks immediately at the end of the
grace period when there is at least one synchronize_srcu_expedited()
invocation pending. This brought Marc's guest-OS bootup times back
into the realm of reason.

Peter Zijlstra proposed using SRCU to reduce mmap_sem contention [1,2],
however, there are workloads that could result in a high volume of
concurrent invocations of call_srcu(), which with current SRCU would
result in excessive lock contention on the srcu_struct structure's
->queue_lock, which protects SRCU's callback lists. This commit therefore
moves SRCU to per-CPU callback lists, thus greatly reducing contention.
Because a given SRCU instance no longer has a single centralized callback
list, starting grace periods and invoking callbacks are both more complex
than in the single-list Classic SRCU implementation. Starting grace
periods and handling callbacks are now handled using an srcu_node tree
that is in some ways similar to the rcu_node trees used by RCU-bh,
RCU-preempt, and RCU-sched (for example, the srcu_node tree shape is
controlled by exactly the same Kconfig options and boot parameters that
control the shape of the rcu_node tree).
In addition, the old per-CPU srcu_array structure is now named srcu_data
and contains an rcu_segcblist structure named ->srcu_cblist for its
callbacks (and a spinlock to protect this). The srcu_struct gets
an srcu_gp_seq that is used to associate callback segments with the
corresponding completion-time grace-period number. These completion-time
grace-period numbers are propagated up the srcu_node tree so that the
grace-period workqueue handler can determine whether additional grace
periods are needed on the one hand and where to look for callbacks that
are ready to be invoked.
The srcu_barrier() function must now wait on all instances of the per-CPU
->srcu_cblist. Because each ->srcu_cblist is protected by ->lock,
srcu_barrier() can remotely add the needed callbacks. In theory,
it could also remotely start grace periods, but in practice doing so
is complex and racy. And interestingly enough, it is never necessary
for srcu_barrier() to start a grace period because srcu_barrier() only
enqueues a callback when a callback is already present--and it turns out
that a grace period has to have already been started for this pre-existing
callback. Furthermore, it is only the callback that srcu_barrier()
needs to wait on, not any particular grace period. Therefore, a new
rcu_segcblist_entrain() function enqueues the srcu_barrier() function's
callback into the same segment occupied by the last pre-existing callback
in the list. The special case where all the pre-existing callbacks are
on a different list (because they are in the process of being invoked)
is handled by enqueuing srcu_barrier()'s callback into the RCU_DONE_TAIL
segment, relying on the done-callbacks check that takes place after all
callbacks are inovked.
Note that the readers use the same algorithm as before. Note that there
is a separate srcu_idx that tells the readers what counter to increment.
This unfortunately cannot be combined with srcu_gp_seq because they
need to be incremented at different times.
This commit introduces some ugly #ifdefs in rcutorture. These will go
away when I feel good enough about Tree SRCU to ditch Classic SRCU.
Some crude performance comparisons, courtesy of a quickly hacked rcuperf
asynchronous-grace-period capability:
Callback Queuing Overhead
-------------------------
# CPUS Classic SRCU Tree SRCU
------ ------------ ---------
2 0.349 us 0.342 us
16 31.66 us 0.4 us
41 --------- 0.417 us
The times are the 90th percentiles, a statistic that was chosen to reject
the overheads of the occasional srcu_barrier() call needed to avoid OOMing
the test machine. The rcuperf test hangs when running Classic SRCU at 41
CPUs, hence the line of dashes. Despite the hacks to both the rcuperf code
and that statistics, this is a convincing demonstration of Tree SRCU's
performance and scalability advantages.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace
Pull two more ftrace fixes from Steven Rostedt:
"While continuing my development, I uncovered two more small bugs.
One is a race condition when enabling the snapshot function probe
trigger. It enables the probe before allocating the snapshot, and if
the probe triggers first, it stops tracing with a warning that the
snapshot buffer was not allocated.
The seconds is that the snapshot file should show how to use it when
it is empty. But a bug fix from long ago broke the "is empty" test and
the snapshot file no longer displays the help message"
* tag 'trace-v4.11-rc5-5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace:
ring-buffer: Have ring_buffer_iter_empty() return true when empty
tracing: Allocate the snapshot buffer before enabling probe
|
|
I noticed that reading the snapshot file when it is empty no longer gives a
status. It suppose to show the status of the snapshot buffer as well as how
to allocate and use it. For example:
># cat snapshot
# tracer: nop
#
#
# * Snapshot is allocated *
#
# Snapshot commands:
# echo 0 > snapshot : Clears and frees snapshot buffer
# echo 1 > snapshot : Allocates snapshot buffer, if not already allocated.
# Takes a snapshot of the main buffer.
# echo 2 > snapshot : Clears snapshot buffer (but does not allocate or free)
# (Doesn't have to be '2' works with any number that
# is not a '0' or '1')
But instead it just showed an empty buffer:
># cat snapshot
# tracer: nop
#
# entries-in-buffer/entries-written: 0/0 #P:4
#
# _-----=> irqs-off
# / _----=> need-resched
# | / _---=> hardirq/softirq
# || / _--=> preempt-depth
# ||| / delay
# TASK-PID CPU# |||| TIMESTAMP FUNCTION
# | | | |||| | |
What happened was that it was using the ring_buffer_iter_empty() function to
see if it was empty, and if it was, it showed the status. But that function
was returning false when it was empty. The reason was that the iter header
page was on the reader page, and the reader page was empty, but so was the
buffer itself. The check only tested to see if the iter was on the commit
page, but the commit page was no longer pointing to the reader page, but as
all pages were empty, the buffer is also.

Currently the snapshot trigger enables the probe and then allocates the
snapshot. If the probe triggers before the allocation, it could cause the
snapshot to fail and turn tracing off. It's best to allocate the snapshot
buffer first, and then enable the trigger. If something goes wrong in the
enabling of the trigger, the snapshot buffer is still allocated, but it can
also be freed by the user by writting zero into the snapshot buffer file.
Also add a check of the return status of alloc_snapshot().

CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING_SMALL shrinks the memory usage of lockdep so the

Tested that CONFIG_LOCKDEP_SMALL is set to 'y' if and only if
CONFIG_LOCKDEP is set to 'y'. When other lockdep-related config options
that select CONFIG_LOCKDEP are enabled (e.g. CONFIG_LOCK_STAT or
CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING), verified that CONFIG_LOCKDEP_SMALL is also

A group of Linux kernel hackers reported chasing a bug that resulted
from their assumption that SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU provided an existence
guarantee, that is, that no block from such a slab would be reallocated
during an RCU read-side critical section. Of course, that is not the
case. Instead, SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU only prevents freeing of an entire
slab of blocks.
However, there is a phrase for this, namely "type safety". This commit
therefore renames SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU to SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU in order
to avoid future instances of this sort of confusion.

The TREE_SRCU rewrite is large and a bit on the non-simple side, so
this commit helps reduce risk by allowing the old v4.11 SRCU algorithm
to be selected using a new CLASSIC_SRCU Kconfig option that depends
on RCU_EXPERT. The default is to use the new TREE_SRCU and TINY_SRCU
algorithms, in order to help get these the testing that they need.
However, if your users do not require the update-side scalability that
is to be provided by TREE_SRCU, select RCU_EXPERT and then CLASSIC_SRCU
to revert back to the old classic SRCU algorithm.

SRCU's implementation of expedited grace periods has always assumed
that the SRCU instance is idle when the expedited request arrives.
This commit improves this a bit by maintaining a count of the number
of outstanding expedited requests, thus allowing prior non-expedited

However, any non-expedited wait already in progress will still wait for
the full duration.

The current SRCU grace-period processing might never reach the last
portion of srcu_advance_batches(). This is OK given the current
implementation, as the first portion, up to the try_check_zero()

However, it has the unfortunate side-effect of making it impossible to
determine when a given grace period has ended, and it will be necessary
to efficiently trace ends of grace periods in order to efficiently handle
per-CPU SRCU callback lists.
This commit therefore adds states to the SRCU grace-period processing,

The rcu_seq_end() function increments seq signifying completion
of a grace period, after that checks that the seq is even and wakes
_synchronize_rcu_expedited(). The _synchronize_rcu_expedited() function
uses wait_event() to wait for even seq. The problem is that wait_event()
can return as soon as seq becomes even without waiting for the wakeup.
In such case the warning in rcu_seq_end() can falsely fire if the next
expedited grace period starts before the check.
Check that seq has good value before incrementing it.

Expedited grace periods use workqueue handlers that wake up the requesters,
but there is no lock mediating this wakeup. Therefore, memory barriers
are required to ensure that the handler's memory references are seen by

RCU has only one multi-tail callback list, which is implemented via
the nxtlist, nxttail, nxtcompleted, qlen_lazy, and qlen fields in the
rcu_data structure, and whose operations are open-code throughout the
Tree RCU implementation. This has been more or less OK in the past,
but upcoming callback-list optimizations in SRCU could really use
a multi-tail callback list there as well.
This commit therefore abstracts the multi-tail callback list handling
into a new kernel/rcu/rcu_segcblist.h file, and uses this new API.
The simple head-and-tail pointer callback list is also abstracted and
applied everywhere except for the NOCB callback-offload lists. (Yes,
the plan is to apply them there as well, but this commit is already
bigger than would be good.)

on the outcomes of the various checks. This is a bit much for scheduling
fastpaths, so this commit creates a separate ->rcu_urgent_qs field in
the rcu_dynticks structure that acts as a global guard for these checks.
Thus, in the common case, rcu_all_qs() and rcu_note_context_switch()
check the ->rcu_urgent_qs field, find it false, and simply return.

The rcu_momentary_dyntick_idle() function scans the RCU flavors, checking
that one of them still needs a quiescent state before doing an expensive
atomic operation on the ->dynticks counter. However, this check reduces
overhead only after a rare race condition, and increases complexity. This
commit therefore removes the scan and the mechanism enabling the scan.

The rcu_qs_ctr variable is yet another isolated per-CPU variable,
so this commit pulls it into the pre-existing rcu_dynticks per-CPU
structure.

The current use of "RCU_TRACE(statement);" can cause odd bugs, especially
where "statement" is a local-variable declaration, as it can leave a
misplaced ";" in the source code. This commit therefore converts these
to "RCU_TRACE(statement;)", which avoids the misplaced ";".
