Dave Airlie reports that gcc-13.1.1 has started complaining about some
of the workqueue code in 32-bit arm builds:
kernel/workqueue.c: In function ‘get_work_pwq’:
kernel/workqueue.c:713:24: error: cast to pointer from integer of different size [-Werror=int-to-pointer-cast]
713 | return (void *)(data & WORK_STRUCT_WQ_DATA_MASK);
| ^
[ ... a couple of other cases ... ]
and while it's not immediately clear exactly why gcc started complaining
about it now, I suspect it's some C23-induced enum type handlign fixup in
gcc-13 is the cause.
Whatever the reason for starting to complain, the code and data types
are indeed disgusting enough that the complaint is warranted.
The wq code ends up creating various "helper constants" (like that
WORK_STRUCT_WQ_DATA_MASK) using an enum type, which is all kinds of
confused. The mask needs to be 'unsigned long', not some unspecified
enum type.
To make matters worse, the actual "mask and cast to a pointer" is
repeated a couple of times, and the cast isn't even always done to the
right pointer, but - as the error case above - to a 'void *' with then
the compiler finishing the job.
That's now how we roll in the kernel.
So create the masks using the proper types rather than some ambiguous
enumeration, and use a nice helper that actually does the type
conversion in one well-defined place.
Incidentally, this magically makes clang generate better code. That,
admittedly, is really just a sign of clang having been seriously
confused before, and cleaning up the typing unconfuses the compiler too.

Now that wq_worker_tick() is there, we can easily track the rough CPU time
consumption of each workqueue by charging the whole tick whenever a tick
hits an active workqueue. While not super accurate, it provides reasonable
visibility into the workqueues that consume a lot of CPU cycles.
wq_monitor.py is updated to report the per-workqueue CPU times.

Workqueue now automatically marks per-cpu work items that hog CPU for too
long as CPU_INTENSIVE, which excludes them from concurrency management and
prevents stalling other concurrency-managed work items. If a work function
keeps running over the thershold, it likely needs to be switched to use an
unbound workqueue.
This patch adds a debug mechanism which tracks the work functions which
trigger the automatic CPU_INTENSIVE mechanism and report them using
pr_warn() with exponential backoff.
v3: Documentation update.
v2: Drop bouncing to kthread_worker for printing messages. It was to avoid
introducing circular locking dependency through printk but not effective
as it still had pool lock -> wci_lock -> printk -> pool lock loop. Let's
just print directly using printk_deferred().

If a per-cpu work item hogs the CPU, it can prevent other work items from
starting through concurrency management. A per-cpu workqueue which intends
to host such CPU-hogging work items can choose to not participate in
concurrency management by setting %WQ_CPU_INTENSIVE; however, this can be
error-prone and difficult to debug when missed.
This patch adds an automatic CPU usage based detection. If a
concurrency-managed work item consumes more CPU time than the threshold
(10ms by default) continuously without intervening sleeps, wq_worker_tick()
which is called from scheduler_tick() will detect the condition and
automatically mark it CPU_INTENSIVE.
The mechanism isn't foolproof:
* Detection depends on tick hitting the work item. Getting preempted at the
right timings may allow a violating work item to evade detection at least
temporarily.
* nohz_full CPUs may not be running ticks and thus can fail detection.
* Even when detection is working, the 10ms detection delays can add up if
many CPU-hogging work items are queued at the same time.
However, in vast majority of cases, this should be able to detect violations
reliably and provide reasonable protection with a small increase in code
complexity.
If some work items trigger this condition repeatedly, the bigger problem
likely is the CPU being saturated with such per-cpu work items and the
solution would be making them UNBOUND. The next patch will add a debug
mechanism to help spot such cases.
v4: Documentation for workqueue.cpu_intensive_thresh_us added to
kernel-parameters.txt.
v3: Switch to use wq_worker_tick() instead of hooking into preemptions as
suggested by Peter.
v2: Lai pointed out that wq_worker_stopping() also needs to be called from
preemption and rtlock paths and an earlier patch was updated
accordingly. This patch adds a comment describing the risk of infinte
recursions and how they're avoided.

only has several counters and the runtime overhead shouldn't be noticeable

never was online. Therefore, further expand this comment to say that

The workqueue watchdog reports a lockup when there was not any progress
in the worker pool for a long time. The progress means that a pending
work item starts being proceed.
Worker pools for unbound workqueues always wake up an idle worker and
try to process the work immediately. The last idle worker has to create
new worker first. The stall might happen only when a new worker could
not be created in which case an error should get printed. Another problem
might be too high load. In this case, workers are victims of a global
system problem.
Worker pools for CPU bound workqueues are designed for lightweight
work items that do not need much CPU time. They are proceed one by
one on a single worker. New worker is used only when a work is sleeping.
It creates one additional scenario. The stall might happen when
the CPU-bound workqueue is used for CPU-intensive work.
More precisely, the stall is detected when a CPU-bound worker is in
the TASK_RUNNING state for too long. In this case, it might be useful
to see the backtrace from the problematic worker.
The information how long a worker is in the running state is not available.
But the CPU-bound worker pools do not have many workers in the running
state by definition. And only few pools are typically blocked.
It should be acceptable to print backtraces from all workers in
TASK_RUNNING state in the stalled worker pools. The number of false
positives should be very low.

systemd switches the root filesystem from initrd to the booted system

The workqueue watchdog reports a lockup when there was not any progress
in the worker pool for a long time. The progress means that a pending
work item starts being proceed.
The progress is guaranteed by using idle workers or creating new workers
for pending work items.
There are several reasons why a new worker could not be created:
+ there is not enough memory
+ there is no free pool ID (IDR API)
+ the system reached PID limit
+ the process creating the new worker was interrupted
+ the last idle worker (manager) has not been scheduled for a long
time. It was not able to even start creating the kthread.
None of these failures is reported at the moment. The only clue is that
show_one_worker_pool() prints that there is a manager. It is the last
idle worker that is responsible for creating a new one. But it is not
clear if create_worker() is failing and why.
Make the debugging easier by printing errors in create_worker().
The error code is important, especially from kthread_create_on_node().
It helps to distinguish the various reasons. For example, reaching
memory limit (-ENOMEM), other system limits (-EAGAIN), or process
interrupted (-EINTR).
Use pr_once() to avoid repeating the same error every CREATE_COOLDOWN
for each stuck worker pool.
Ratelimited printk() might be better. It would help to know if the problem
remains. It would be more clear if the create_worker() errors and workqueue
stalls are related. Also old messages might get lost when the internal log
buffer is full. The problem is that printk() might touch the watchdog.
For example, see touch_nmi_watchdog() in serial8250_console_write().
It would require synchronization of the begin and length of the ratelimit
interval with the workqueue watchdog. Otherwise, the error messages
might break the watchdog. This does not look worth the complexity.

The workqueue watchdog prints a warning when there is no progress in
a worker pool. Where the progress means that the pool started processing
a pending work item.
Note that it is perfectly fine to process work items much longer.
The progress should be guaranteed by waking up or creating idle
workers.
show_one_worker_pool() prints state of non-idle worker pool. It shows
a delay since the last pool->watchdog_ts.
The timestamp is updated when a first pending work is queued in
__queue_work(). Also it is updated when a work is dequeued for
processing in worker_thread() and rescuer_thread().
The delay is misleading when there is no pending work item. In this
case it shows how long the last work item is being proceed. Show
zero instead. There is no stall if there is no pending work.

It has been reported that isolated CPUs can suffer from interference due to
per-CPU kworkers waking up just to die.
A surge of workqueue activity during initial setup of a latency-sensitive
application (refresh_vm_stats() being one of the culprits) can cause extra
per-CPU kworkers to be spawned. Then, said latency-sensitive task can be
running merrily on an isolated CPU only to be interrupted sometime later by
a kworker marked for death (cf. IDLE_WORKER_TIMEOUT, 5 minutes after last
kworker activity).
Prevent this by affining kworkers to the wq_unbound_cpumask (which doesn't
contain isolated CPUs, cf. HK_TYPE_WQ) before waking them up after marking
them with WORKER_DIE.
Changing the affinity does require a sleepable context, leverage the newly
introduced pool->idle_cull_work to get that.
Remove dying workers from pool->workers and keep track of them in a
separate list. This intentionally prevents for_each_loop_worker() from
iterating over workers that are marked for death.

it could clobber the task state set by rcuwait_wait_event()
Instead, restructure the waiting logic to acquire any necessary lock
outside of rcuwait_wait_event().
Since further work cannot be inserted into unbound pwqs that have reached
->refcnt==0, this is bound to make forward progress as eventually the
worklist will be drained and need_more_worker(pool) will remain false,
preventing any worker from stealing the manager position from us.

Earlier commits in this series allow battery-powered systems to build
their kernels with the default-disabled CONFIG_RCU_LAZY=y Kconfig option.
This Kconfig option causes call_rcu() to delay its callbacks in order
to batch them. This means that a given RCU grace period covers more
callbacks, thus reducing the number of grace periods, in turn reducing
the amount of energy consumed, which increases battery lifetime which
can be a very good thing. This is not a subtle effect: In some important
use cases, the battery lifetime is increased by more than 10%.
This CONFIG_RCU_LAZY=y option is available only for CPUs that offload
callbacks, for example, CPUs mentioned in the rcu_nocbs kernel boot
parameter passed to kernels built with CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU=y.
Delaying callbacks is normally not a problem because most callbacks do
nothing but free memory. If the system is short on memory, a shrinker
will kick all currently queued lazy callbacks out of their laziness,
thus freeing their memory in short order. Similarly, the rcu_barrier()
function, which blocks until all currently queued callbacks are invoked,
will also kick lazy callbacks, thus enabling rcu_barrier() to complete
in a timely manner.
However, there are some cases where laziness is not a good option.
For example, synchronize_rcu() invokes call_rcu(), and blocks until
the newly queued callback is invoked. It would not be a good for
synchronize_rcu() to block for ten seconds, even on an idle system.
Therefore, synchronize_rcu() invokes call_rcu_hurry() instead of
call_rcu(). The arrival of a non-lazy call_rcu_hurry() callback on a
given CPU kicks any lazy callbacks that might be already queued on that
CPU. After all, if there is going to be a grace period, all callbacks
might as well get full benefit from it.
Yes, this could be done the other way around by creating a
call_rcu_lazy(), but earlier experience with this approach and
feedback at the 2022 Linux Plumbers Conference shifted the approach
to call_rcu() being lazy with call_rcu_hurry() for the few places
where laziness is inappropriate.
And another call_rcu() instance that cannot be lazy is the one
in queue_rcu_work(), given that callers to queue_rcu_work() are
not necessarily OK with long delays.
Therefore, make queue_rcu_work() use call_rcu_hurry() in order to revert
to the old behavior.

Merge tag 'kcfi-v6.1-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux
Pull kcfi updates from Kees Cook:
"This replaces the prior support for Clang's standard Control Flow
Integrity (CFI) instrumentation, which has required a lot of special
conditions (e.g. LTO) and work-arounds.
The new implementation ("Kernel CFI") is specific to C, directly
designed for the Linux kernel, and takes advantage of architectural
features like x86's IBT. This series retains arm64 support and adds
x86 support.
GCC support is expected in the future[1], and additional "generic"
architectural support is expected soon[2].

Like Hillf Danton mentioned
syzbot should have been able to catch cancel_work_sync() in work context
by checking lockdep_map in __flush_work() for both flush and cancel.
in [1], being unable to report an obvious deadlock scenario shown below is
broken. From locking dependency perspective, sync version of cancel request
should behave as if flush request, for it waits for completion of work if
that work has already started execution.
----------
#include <linux/module.h>
#include <linux/sched.h>
static DEFINE_MUTEX(mutex);
static void work_fn(struct work_struct *work)
{
schedule_timeout_uninterruptible(HZ / 5);
mutex_lock(&mutex);
mutex_unlock(&mutex);
}
static DECLARE_WORK(work, work_fn);
static int __init test_init(void)
{
schedule_work(&work);

mutex_lock(&mutex);
cancel_work_sync(&work);
mutex_unlock(&mutex);
return -EINVAL;
}
module_init(test_init);
MODULE_LICENSE("GPL");
----------
The check this patch restores was added by commit 0976dfc1d0
("workqueue: Catch more locking problems with flush_work()").
Then, lockdep's crossrelease feature was added by commit b09be676e0
("locking/lockdep: Implement the 'crossrelease' feature"). As a result,
this check was once removed by commit fd1a5b04df ("workqueue: Remove
now redundant lock acquisitions wrt. workqueue flushes").
But lockdep's crossrelease feature was removed by commit e966eaeeb6
("locking/lockdep: Remove the cross-release locking checks"). At this
point, this check should have been restored.
Then, commit d6e89786be ("workqueue: skip lockdep wq dependency in
cancel_work_sync()") introduced a boolean flag in order to distinguish
flush_work() and cancel_work_sync(), for checking "struct workqueue_struct"
dependency when called from cancel_work_sync() was causing false positives.
Then, commit 87915adc3f ("workqueue: re-add lockdep dependencies for
flushing") tried to restore "struct work_struct" dependency check, but by
error checked this boolean flag. Like an example shown above indicates,
"struct work_struct" dependency needs to be checked for both flush_work()
and cancel_work_sync().

Use cpu_possible_mask instead when wq_unbound_cpumask has no active CPUs.
It is very easy to trigger the warning:
Set wq_unbound_cpumask to a small set of CPUs.
Offline all the CPUs of wq_unbound_cpumask.
Offline an extra CPU and trigger the warning.

Since flush operation synchronously waits for completion, flushing
system-wide WQs (e.g. system_wq) might introduce possibility of deadlock
due to unexpected locking dependency. Tejun Heo commented at [1] that it
makes no sense at all to call flush_workqueue() on the shared WQs as the
caller has no idea what it's gonna end up waiting for.
Although there is flush_scheduled_work() which flushes system_wq WQ with
"Think twice before calling this function! It's very easy to get into
trouble if you don't take great care." warning message, syzbot found a
circular locking dependency caused by flushing system_wq WQ [2].
Therefore, let's change the direction to that developers had better use
their local WQs if flush_scheduled_work()/flush_workqueue(system_*_wq) is
inevitable.
Steps for converting system-wide WQs into local WQs are explained at [3],
and a conversion to stop flushing system-wide WQs is in progress. Now we
want some mechanism for preventing developers who are not aware of this
conversion from again start flushing system-wide WQs.
Since I found that WARN_ON() is complete but awkward approach for teaching
developers about this problem, let's use __compiletime_warning() for
incomplete but handy approach. For completeness, we will also insert
WARN_ON() into __flush_workqueue() after all in-tree users stopped calling
flush_scheduled_work().

To prepare for supporting each feature of the housekeeping cpumask
toward cpuset, prepare each of the HK_FLAG_* entries to move to their
own cpumask with enforcing to fetch them individually. The new
constraint is that multiple HK_FLAG_* entries can't be mixed together
anymore in a single call to housekeeping cpumask().
This will later allow, for example, to runtime modify the cpulist passed
through "isolcpus=", "nohz_full=" and "rcu_nocbs=" kernel boot
parameters.

It is only modified in associated CPU, so it doesn't need to be atomic.

The wakeup code in wq_worker_sleeping() is the same as wake_up_worker().

The access to idle_list in wq_worker_sleeping() is changed to be
protected by pool->lock, so the comments above idle_list can be changed
to "L:" which is the meaning of "access with pool->lock held".
And the outdated comments in wq_worker_sleeping() is removed since
the function is not called with rq lock held any more, idle_list is
dereferenced with pool lock now.

In wq_worker_sleeping(), the access to worklist is protected by the
pool->lock, so the memory barrier is unneeded.

for-5.16-fixes contains two subtle race conditions which were introduced by
scheduler side code cleanups. The branch didn't get pushed out, so merge
into for-5.17.
nr_running is never modified remotely after the schedule callback in
wakeup path is removed.
Rather nr_running is often accessed with other fields in the pool
together, so the cacheline_aligned for nr_running isn't needed.

In unbind_workers(), there are two pool->lock held sections separated
by the code of zapping nr_running. wake_up_worker() needs to be in
pool->lock held section and after zapping nr_running. And zapping
nr_running had to be after schedule() when the local wake up
functionality was in use. Now, the call to schedule() has been removed
along with the local wake up functionality, so the code can be merged
into the same pool->lock held section.
The diffstat shows that it is other code moved down because the diff
tools can not know the meaning of merging lock sections by swapping
two code blocks.

The commit 6d25be5782 ("sched/core, workqueues: Distangle worker
accounting from rq lock") changed the schedule callbacks for workqueue
and moved the schedule callback from the wakeup code to at end of
schedule() in the worker's process context.
It means that the callback wq_worker_running() is guaranteed that
it sees the %WORKER_UNBOUND flag after scheduled since unbind_workers()
is running on the same CPU that all the pool's workers bound to.

Long time before, workers are not ALL bound after CPU_ONLINE, they can
still be running in other CPUs before self rebinding.
But the commit a9ab775bca ("workqueue: directly restore CPU affinity
of workers from CPU_ONLINE") makes rebind_workers() bind them all.
So all workers are on the CPU before the CPU is down.
And the comment in unbind_workers() refers to the workers "which are
still executing works from before the last CPU down" is outdated.
Just removed it.
