The worker accounting for CPU bound workers is plugged into the core
scheduler code and the wakeup code. This is not a hard requirement and
can be avoided by keeping track of the state in the workqueue code
itself.Keep track of the sleeping state in the worker itself and call the
notifier before entering the core scheduler. There might be false
positives when the task is woken between that call and actually
scheduling, but that's not really different from scheduling and being
woken immediately after switching away. When nr_running is updated when
the task is retunrning from schedule() then it is later compared when it
is done from ttwu().[ bigeasy: preempt_disable() around wq_worker_sleeping() by Daniel Bristot de Oliveira ]

%pF and %pf are functionally equivalent to %pS and %ps conversion
specifiers. The former are deprecated, therefore switch the current users
to use the preferred variant.The changes have been produced by the following command:
git grep -l '%p[fF]' | grep -v '^\(tools\|Documentation\)/' | \
while read i; do perl -i -pe 's/%pf/%ps/g; s/%pF/%pS/g;' $i; doneAnd verifying the result.

There is no need for sched_rcu. The undocumented reason why sched_rcu
is used is to avoid a few explicit rcu_read_lock()/unlock() pairs by
the fact that sched_rcu reader side critical sections are also protected
by preempt or irq disabled regions.Replace rcu_read_lock_sched with rcu_read_lock and acquire the RCU lock
where it is not yet explicit acquired. Replace local_irq_disable() with
rcu_read_lock(). Update asserts.Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner

The recent change to prevent use after free and a memory leak introduced an
unconditional call to wq_unregister_lockdep() in the error handling
path. If the lockdep key had not been registered yet, then the lockdep core
emits a warning.Only call wq_unregister_lockdep() if wq_register_lockdep() has been
called first.Fixes: 009bb421b6ce ("workqueue, lockdep: Fix an alloc_workqueue() error path")

The following commit:
669de8bda87b ("kernel/workqueue: Use dynamic lockdep keys for workqueues")
introduced a memory leak as wq_free_lockdep() calls kfree(wq->lock_name),
but wq_init_lockdep() does not point wq->lock_name to the newly allocated
slab object.This can be reproduced by running LTP fallocate04 followed by oom01 tests:

The following commit:
87915adc3f0a ("workqueue: re-add lockdep dependencies for flushing")
improved deadlock checking in the workqueue implementation. Unfortunately
that patch also introduced a few false positive lockdep complaints.This patch suppresses these false positives by allocating the workqueue mutex
lockdep key dynamically.An example of a false positive lockdep complaint suppressed by this patch
can be found below. The root cause of the lockdep complaint shown below
is that the direct I/O code can call alloc_workqueue() from inside a work
item created by another alloc_workqueue() call and that both workqueues
share the same lockdep key. This patch avoids that that lockdep complaint
is triggered by allocating the work queue lockdep keys dynamically.In other words, this patch guarantees that a unique lockdep key is
associated with each work queue mutex.======================================================

psi has provisions to shut off the periodic aggregation worker when
there is a period of no task activity - and thus no data that needs
aggregating. However, while developing psi monitoring, Suren noticed
that the aggregation clock currently won't stay shut off for good.Debugging this revealed a flaw in the idle design: an aggregation run
will see no task activity and decide to go to sleep; shortly thereafter,
the kworker thread that executed the aggregation will go idle and cause
a scheduling change, during which the psi callback will kick the
!pending worker again. This will ping-pong forever, and is equivalent
to having no shut-off logic at all (but with more code!)Fix this by exempting aggregation workers from psi's clock waking logic
when the state change is them going to sleep. To do this, tag workers
with the last work function they executed, and if in psi we see a worker
going to sleep after aggregating psi data, we will not reschedule the
aggregation work item.What if the worker is also executing other items before or after?
Any psi state times that were incurred by work items preceding the
aggregation work will have been collected from the per-cpu buckets
during the aggregation itself. If there are work items following the
aggregation work, the worker's last_func tag will be overwritten and the
aggregator will be kept alive to process this genuine new activity.If the aggregation work is the last thing the worker does, and we decide
to go idle, the brief period of non-idle time incurred between the
aggregation run and the kworker's dequeue will be stranded in the
per-cpu buckets until the clock is woken by later activity. But that
should not be a problem. The buckets can hold 4s worth of time, and
future activity will wake the clock with a 2s delay, giving us 2s worth
of data we can leave behind when disabling aggregation. If it takes a
worker more than two seconds to go idle after it finishes its last work
item, we likely have bigger problems in the system, and won't notice one
sample that was averaged with a bogus per-CPU weight.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190116193501.1910-1-hannes@cmpxchg.org

Provide a new function, queue_work_node, which is meant to schedule work on
a "random" CPU of the requested NUMA node. The main motivation for this is
to help assist asynchronous init to better improve boot times for devices
that are local to a specific node.For now we just default to the first CPU that is in the intersection of the
cpumask of the node and the online cpumask. The only exception is if the
CPU is local to the node we will just use the current CPU. This should work
for our purposes as we are currently only using this for unbound work so
the CPU will be translated to a node anyway instead of being directly used.As we are only using the first CPU to represent the NUMA node for now I am
limiting the scope of the function so that it can only be used with unbound
workqueues.Acked-by: Tejun Heo

syzbot found a flush_work() caller who forgot to call INIT_WORK()
because that work_struct was allocated by kzalloc() [1]. But the messageINFO: trying to register non-static key.
the code is fine but needs lockdep annotation.
turning off the locking correctness validator.by lock_map_acquire() is failing to tell that INIT_WORK() is missing.
Since flush_work() without INIT_WORK() is a bug, and INIT_WORK() should
set ->func field to non-zero, let's warn if ->func field is zero.[1] https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=a5954455fcfa51c29ca2ab55b203076337e1c770

Now that call_rcu()'s callback is not invoked until after all
preempt-disable regions of code have completed (in addition to explicitly
marked RCU read-side critical sections), call_rcu() can be used in place
of call_rcu_sched(). This commit therefore makes that change.Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney

Some architectures need to use stop_machine() to patch functions for
ftrace, and the assumption is that the stopped CPUs do not make function
calls to traceable functions when they are in the stopped state.Commit ce4f06dcbb5d ("stop_machine: Touch_nmi_watchdog() after
MULTI_STOP_PREPARE") added calls to the watchdog touch functions from
the stopped CPUs and those functions lack notrace annotations. This
leads to crashes when enabling/disabling ftrace on ARM kernels built
with the Thumb-2 instruction set.Fix it by adding the necessary notrace annotations.

workqueue: re-add lockdep dependencies for flushing
workqueue: skip lockdep wq dependency in cancel_work_sync()
22 Aug, 2018

In flush_work(), we need to create a lockdep dependency so that
the following scenario is appropriately tagged as a problem:work_function()
{
mutex_lock(&mutex);
...
}other_function()
{
mutex_lock(&mutex);
flush_work(&work); // or cancel_work_sync(&work);
}This is a problem since the work might be running and be blocked
on trying to acquire the mutex.Similarly, in flush_workqueue().
These were removed after cross-release partially caught these
problems, but now cross-release was reverted anyway. IMHO the
removal was erroneous anyway though, since lockdep should be
able to catch potential problems, not just actual ones, and
cross-release would only have caught the problem when actually
invoking wait_for_completion().Fixes: fd1a5b04dfb8 ("workqueue: Remove now redundant lock acquisitions wrt. workqueue flushes")

In cancel_work_sync(), we can only have one of two cases, even
with an ordered workqueue:
* the work isn't running, just cancelled before it started
* the work is running, but then nothing else can be on the
workqueue before itThus, we need to skip the lockdep workqueue dependency handling,
otherwise we get false positive reports from lockdep saying that
we have a potential deadlock when the workqueue also has other
work items with locking, e.g.work1_function() { mutex_lock(&mutex); ... }
work2_function() { /* nothing */ }other_function() {
queue_work(ordered_wq, &work1);
queue_work(ordered_wq, &work2);
mutex_lock(&mutex);
cancel_work_sync(&work2);
}As described above, this isn't a problem, but lockdep will
currently flag it as if cancel_work_sync() was flush_work(),
which *is* a problem.Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

The kzalloc() function has a 2-factor argument form, kcalloc(). This
patch replaces cases of:kzalloc(a * b, gfp)
with:
kcalloc(a * b, gfp)as well as handling cases of:
kzalloc(a * b * c, gfp)
with:
kzalloc(array3_size(a, b, c), gfp)
as it's slightly less ugly than:
kzalloc_array(array_size(a, b), c, gfp)
This does, however, attempt to ignore constant size factors like:
kzalloc(4 * 1024, gfp)
though any constants defined via macros get caught up in the conversion.
Any factors with a sizeof() of "unsigned char", "char", and "u8" were
dropped, since they're redundant.The Coccinelle script used for this was:

Pull overflow updates from Kees Cook:
"This adds the new overflow checking helpers and adds them to the
2-factor argument allocators. And this adds the saturating size
helpers and does a treewide replacement for the struct_size() usage.
Additionally this adds the overflow testing modules to make sure
everything works.I'm still working on the treewide replacements for allocators with
"simple" multiplied arguments:*alloc(a * b, ...) -> *alloc_array(a, b, ...)
and
*zalloc(a * b, ...) -> *calloc(a, b, ...)
as well as the more complex cases, but that's separable from this
portion of the series. I expect to have the rest sent before -rc1
closes; there are a lot of messy cases to clean up.Summary:
- Introduce arithmetic overflow test helper functions (Rasmus)
- Use overflow helpers in 2-factor allocators (Kees, Rasmus)
- Introduce overflow test module (Rasmus, Kees)
- Introduce saturating size helper functions (Matthew, Kees)
- Treewide use of struct_size() for allocators (Kees)"

treewide: Use struct_size() for kmalloc()-family

test_overflow: Add memory allocation overflow tests
overflow.h: Add allocation size calculation helpers
test_overflow: Report test failures
test_overflow: macrofy some more, do more tests for free
lib: add runtime test of check_*_overflow functions
compiler.h: enable builtin overflow checkers and add fallback code -
One of the more common cases of allocation size calculations is finding
the size of a structure that has a zero-sized array at the end, along
with memory for some number of elements for that array. For example:struct foo {
int stuff;
void *entry[];
};instance = kmalloc(sizeof(struct foo) + sizeof(void *) * count, GFP_KERNEL);
Instead of leaving these open-coded and prone to type mistakes, we can
now use the new struct_size() helper:instance = kmalloc(struct_size(instance, entry, count), GFP_KERNEL);
This patch makes the changes for kmalloc()-family (and kvmalloc()-family)
uses. It was done via automatic conversion with manual review for the
"CHECKME" non-standard cases noted below, using the following Coccinelle

Work functions can use set_worker_desc() to improve the visibility of
what the worker task is doing. Currently, the desc field is unset at
the beginning of each execution and there is a separate field to track
the field is set during the current execution.Instead of leaving empty till desc is set, worker->desc can be used to
remember the last workqueue the worker worked on by default and users
that use set_worker_desc() can override it to something more
informative as necessary.This simplifies desc handling and helps tracking the last workqueue
that the worker exected on to improve visibility.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

For historical reasons, the worker attach/detach functions don't
currently manage worker->pool and the callers are manually and
inconsistently updating it.This patch moves worker->pool updates into the worker attach/detach
functions. This makes worker->pool consistent and clearly defines how
worker->pool updates are synchronized.This will help later workqueue visibility improvements by allowing
safe access to workqueue information from worker->task.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

To improve workqueue visibility, we want to be able to access
workqueue information from worker tasks. The per-pool attach mutex
makes that difficult because there's no way of stabilizing task ->
worker pool association without knowing the pool first.Worker attach/detach is a slow path and there's no need for different
pools to be able to perform them concurrently. This patch replaces
the per-pool attach_mutex with global wq_pool_attach_mutex to prepare
for visibility improvement changes.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo
