Pull RCU updates from Joel Fernandes:
- Updates and additions to MAINTAINERS files, with Boqun being added to
the RCU entry and Zqiang being added as an RCU reviewer.
I have also transitioned from reviewer to maintainer; however, Paul
will be taking over sending RCU pull-requests for the next merge
window.
- Resolution of hotplug warning in nohz code, achieved by fixing
cpu_is_hotpluggable() through interaction with the nohz subsystem.
Tick dependency modifications by Zqiang, focusing on fixing usage of
the TICK_DEP_BIT_RCU_EXP bitmask.
- Avoid needless calls to the rcu-lazy shrinker for CONFIG_RCU_LAZY=n
kernels, fixed by Zqiang.
- Improvements to rcu-tasks stall reporting by Neeraj.
- Initial renaming of k[v]free_rcu() to k[v]free_rcu_mightsleep() for
increased robustness, affecting several components like mac802154,
drbd, vmw_vmci, tracing, and more.
A report by Eric Dumazet showed that the API could be unknowingly
used in an atomic context, so we'd rather make sure they know what
they're asking for by being explicit:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20221202052847.2623997-1-edumazet@google.com/
- Documentation updates, including corrections to spelling,
clarifications in comments, and improvements to the srcu_size_state
comments.
- Better srcu_struct cache locality for readers, by adjusting the size
of srcu_struct in support of SRCU usage by Christoph Hellwig.
- Teach lockdep to detect deadlocks between srcu_read_lock() vs
synchronize_srcu() contributed by Boqun.
Previously lockdep could not detect such deadlocks, now it can.
- Integration of rcutorture and rcu-related tools, targeted for v6.4
from Boqun's tree, featuring new SRCU deadlock scenarios, test_nmis
module parameter, and more
- Miscellaneous changes, various code cleanups and comment improvements

Memory passed to kvfree_rcu() that is to be freed is tracked by a
per-CPU kfree_rcu_cpu structure, which in turn contains pointers
to kvfree_rcu_bulk_data structures that contain pointers to memory
that has not yet been handed to RCU, along with an kfree_rcu_cpu_work
structure that tracks the memory that has already been handed to RCU.
These structures track three categories of memory: (1) Memory for
kfree(), (2) Memory for kvfree(), and (3) Memory for both that arrived
during an OOM episode. The first two categories are tracked in a
cache-friendly manner involving a dynamically allocated page of pointers
(the aforementioned kvfree_rcu_bulk_data structures), while the third
uses a simple (but decidedly cache-unfriendly) linked list through the
rcu_head structures in each block of memory.
On a given CPU, these three categories are handled as a unit, with that
CPU's kfree_rcu_cpu_work structure having one pointer for each of the
three categories. Clearly, new memory for a given category cannot be
placed in the corresponding kfree_rcu_cpu_work structure until any old
memory has had its grace period elapse and thus has been removed. And
the kfree_rcu_monitor() function does in fact check for this.
Except that the kfree_rcu_monitor() function checks these pointers one
at a time. This means that if the previous kfree_rcu() memory passed
to RCU had only category 1 and the current one has only category 2, the
kfree_rcu_monitor() function will send that current category-2 memory
along immediately. This can result in memory being freed too soon,
that is, out from under unsuspecting RCU readers.
To see this, consider the following sequence of events, in which:
o Task A on CPU 0 calls rcu_read_lock(), then uses "from_cset",
then is preempted.
o CPU 1 calls kfree_rcu(cset, rcu_head) in order to free "from_cset"
after a later grace period. Except that "from_cset" is freed
right after the previous grace period ended, so that "from_cset"
is immediately freed. Task A resumes and references "from_cset"'s
member, after which nothing good happens.

of the single-argument forms, which can introduce functionality bugs in
atomic contexts and latency bugs in non-atomic contexts.

For kernels built with CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU=y, the following scenario can
result in a NULL-pointer dereference:
CPU1 CPU2
rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_irqrestore rcu_print_task_exp_stall
if (special.b.blocked) READ_ONCE(rnp->exp_tasks) != NULL
raw_spin_lock_rcu_node
np = rcu_next_node_entry(t, rnp)
if (&t->rcu_node_entry == rnp->exp_tasks)
WRITE_ONCE(rnp->exp_tasks, np)
....
raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore_rcu_node
raw_spin_lock_irqsave_rcu_node
t = list_entry(rnp->exp_tasks->prev,
struct task_struct, rcu_node_entry)
(if rnp->exp_tasks is NULL, this
will dereference a NULL pointer)
The problem is that CPU2 accesses the rcu_node structure's->exp_tasks
field without holding the rcu_node structure's ->lock and CPU2 did
not observe CPU1's change to rcu_node structure's ->exp_tasks in time.
Therefore, if CPU1 sets rcu_node structure's->exp_tasks pointer to NULL,
then CPU2 might dereference that NULL pointer.
This commit therefore holds the rcu_node structure's ->lock while
accessing that structure's->exp_tasks field.

According to the commit log of the patch that added it to the kernel,
start_poll_synchronize_rcu_expedited() can be invoked very early, as
in long before rcu_init() has been invoked. But before rcu_init(),
the rcu_data structure's ->mynode field has not yet been initialized.
This means that the start_poll_synchronize_rcu_expedited() function's
attempt to set the CPU's leaf rcu_node structure's ->exp_seq_poll_rq
field will result in a segmentation fault.
This commit therefore causes start_poll_synchronize_rcu_expedited() to
set ->exp_seq_poll_rq only after rcu_init() has initialized all CPUs'
rcu_data structures' ->mynode fields. It also removes the check from
the rcu_init() function so that start_poll_synchronize_rcu_expedited(
is unconditionally invoked. Yes, this might result in an unnecessary
boot-time grace period, but this is down in the noise.

The rcu_accelerate_cbs() function is invoked by rcu_report_qs_rdp()
only if there is a grace period in progress that is still blocked
by at least one CPU on this rcu_node structure. This means that
rcu_accelerate_cbs() should never return the value true, and thus that
this function should never set the needwake variable and in turn never
invoke rcu_gp_kthread_wake().
This commit therefore removes the needwake variable and the invocation
of rcu_gp_kthread_wake() in favor of a WARN_ON_ONCE() on the call to
rcu_accelerate_cbs(). The purpose of this new WARN_ON_ONCE() is to
detect situations where the system's opinion differs from ours.

The lazy_rcu_shrink_count() shrinker function is registered even in
kernels built with CONFIG_RCU_LAZY=n, in which case this function
uselessly consumes cycles learning that no CPU has any lazy callbacks

For kernels built with CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y, the following scenario can result
in the scheduling-clock interrupt remaining enabled on a holdout CPU after
its quiescent state has been reported:
CPU1 CPU2
rcu_report_exp_cpu_mult synchronize_rcu_expedited_wait
acquires rnp->lock mask = rnp->expmask;
for_each_leaf_node_cpu_mask(rnp, cpu, mask)
rnp->expmask = rnp->expmask & ~mask; rdp = per_cpu_ptr(&rcu_data, cpu1);
for_each_leaf_node_cpu_mask(rnp, cpu, mask)
rdp = per_cpu_ptr(&rcu_data, cpu1);
if (!rdp->rcu_forced_tick_exp)
continue; rdp->rcu_forced_tick_exp = true;
tick_dep_set_cpu(cpu1, TICK_DEP_BIT_RCU_EXP);
The problem is that CPU2's sampling of rnp->expmask is obsolete by the
time it invokes tick_dep_set_cpu(), and CPU1 is not guaranteed to see
CPU2's store to ->rcu_forced_tick_exp in time to clear it. And even if
CPU1 does see that store, it might invoke tick_dep_clear_cpu() before
CPU2 got around to executing its tick_dep_set_cpu(), which would still
leave the victim CPU with its scheduler-clock tick running.
Either way, an nohz_full real-time application running on the victim
CPU would have its latency needlessly degraded.
Note that expedited RCU grace periods look at context-tracking
information, and so if the CPU is executing in nohz_full usermode
throughout, that CPU cannot be victimized in this manner.
This commit therefore causes synchronize_rcu_expedited_wait to hold
the rcu_node structure's ->lock when checking for holdout CPUs, setting
TICK_DEP_BIT_RCU_EXP, and invoking tick_dep_set_cpu(), thus preventing
this race.

There is an smp_mb() named "E" in srcu_flip() immediately before the
increment (flip) of the srcu_struct structure's ->srcu_idx.
The purpose of E is to order the preceding scan's read of lock counters
against the flipping of the ->srcu_idx, in order to prevent new readers
from continuing to use the old ->srcu_idx value, which might needlessly
extend the grace period.
However, this ordering is already enforced because of the control
dependency between the preceding scan and the ->srcu_idx flip.
This control dependency exists because atomic_long_read() is used
to scan the counts, because WRITE_ONCE() is used to flip ->srcu_idx,
and because ->srcu_idx is not flipped until the ->srcu_lock_count[] and
->srcu_unlock_count[] counts match. And such a match cannot happen when
there is an in-flight reader that started before the flip (observation
courtesy Mathieu Desnoyers).
The litmus test below (courtesy of Frederic Weisbecker, with changes
for ctrldep by Boqun and Joel) shows this:
C srcu
(*
* bad condition: P0's first scan (SCAN1) saw P1's idx=0 LOCK count inc, though P1 saw flip.
*
* So basically, the ->po ordering on both P0 and P1 is enforced via ->ppo
* (control deps) on both sides, and both P0 and P1 are interconnected by ->rf
* relations. Combining the ->ppo with ->rf, a cycle is impossible.
*)
{}
// updater
P0(int *IDX, int *LOCK0, int *UNLOCK0, int *LOCK1, int *UNLOCK1)
{
int lock1;
int unlock1;
int lock0;
int unlock0;
// SCAN1
unlock1 = READ_ONCE(*UNLOCK1);
smp_mb(); // A
lock1 = READ_ONCE(*LOCK1);
// FLIP
if (lock1 == unlock1) { // Control dep
smp_mb(); // E // Remove E and still passes.
WRITE_ONCE(*IDX, 1);
smp_mb(); // D
// SCAN2
unlock0 = READ_ONCE(*UNLOCK0);
smp_mb(); // A
lock0 = READ_ONCE(*LOCK0);
}
}
// reader
P1(int *IDX, int *LOCK0, int *UNLOCK0, int *LOCK1, int *UNLOCK1)
{
int tmp;
int idx1;
int idx2;
// 1st reader
idx1 = READ_ONCE(*IDX);
if (idx1 == 0) { // Control dep
tmp = READ_ONCE(*LOCK0);
WRITE_ONCE(*LOCK0, tmp + 1);
smp_mb(); /* B and C */
tmp = READ_ONCE(*UNLOCK0);
WRITE_ONCE(*UNLOCK0, tmp + 1);
} else {
tmp = READ_ONCE(*LOCK1);
WRITE_ONCE(*LOCK1, tmp + 1);
smp_mb(); /* B and C */
tmp = READ_ONCE(*UNLOCK1);
WRITE_ONCE(*UNLOCK1, tmp + 1);
}
}
exists (0:lock1=1 /\ 1:idx1=1)
More complicated litmus tests with multiple SRCU readers also show that
memory barrier E is not needed.
This commit therefore clarifies the comment on memory barrier E.
Why not also remove that redundant smp_mb()?
Because control dependencies are quite fragile due to their not being
recognized by most compilers and tools. Control dependencies therefore
exact an ongoing maintenance burden, and such a burden cannot be justified
in this slowpath. Therefore, that smp_mb() stays until such time as
its overhead becomes a measurable problem in a real workload running on
a real production system, or until such time as compilers start paying
attention to this sort of control dependency.

If a given statically allocated in-module srcu_struct structure was ever
used for updates, srcu_module_going() will invoke cleanup_srcu_struct()
at module-exit time. This will check for the error case of SRCU readers
persisting past module-exit time. On the other hand, if this srcu_struct
structure never went through a grace period, srcu_module_going() only
invokes free_percpu(), which would result in strange failures if SRCU
readers persisted past module-exit time.
This commit therefore adds a srcu_readers_active() check to
srcu_module_going(), splatting if readers have persisted and refraining
from invoking free_percpu() in that case. Better to leak memory than
to suffer silent memory corruption!

This commit moves the ->reschedule_jiffies, ->reschedule_count, and
->work fields from the srcu_struct structure to the srcu_usage structure
to reduce the size of the former in order to improve cache locality.
However, this means that the container_of() calls cannot get a pointer
to the srcu_struct because they are no longer in the srcu_struct.
This issue is addressed by adding a ->srcu_ssp field in the srcu_usage
structure that references the corresponding srcu_struct structure.
And given the presence of the sup pointer to the srcu_usage structure,
replace some ssp->srcu_usage-> instances with sup->.

Currently, both __init_srcu_struct() in CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=y kernels

The current srcu_struct structure is on the order of 200 bytes in size
(depending on architecture and .config), which is much better than the
old-style 26K bytes, but still all too inconvenient when one is trying
to achieve good cache locality on a fastpath involving SRCU readers.
However, only a few fields in srcu_struct are used by SRCU readers.
The remaining fields could be offloaded to a new srcu_update
structure, thus shrinking the srcu_struct structure down to a few
tens of bytes. This commit begins this noble quest, a quest that is
complicated by open-coded initialization of the srcu_struct within the
srcu_notifier_head structure. This complication is addressed by updating
the srcu_notifier_head structure's open coding, given that there does
not appear to be a straightforward way of abstracting that initialization.
This commit moves only the ->node pointer to srcu_update. Later commits
will move additional fields.

Further shrinking the srcu_struct structure is eased by requiring
that in-module srcu_struct structures rely more heavily on static
initialization. In particular, this preserves the property that
a module-load-time srcu_struct initialization can fail only due
to memory-allocation failure of the per-CPU srcu_data structures.
It might also slightly improve robustness by keeping the number of memory
allocations that must succeed down percpu_alloc() call.
This is in preparation for splitting an srcu_usage structure out
of the srcu_struct structure.

In order to test the new SRCU-lockdep functionality, this commit adds
an rcutorture.test_srcu_lockdep module parameter that, when non-zero,
selects an SRCU deadlock scenario to execute. This parameter is a
five-digit number formatted as DNNL, where "D" is 1 to force a deadlock
and 0 to avoid doing so; "NN" is the test number, 0 for SRCU-based, 1
for SRCU/mutex-based, and 2 for SRCU/rwsem-based; and "L" is the number
of steps in the deadlock cycle.
Note that rcutorture.test_srcu_lockdep=1 will also force a hard hang.
If a non-zero value of rcutorture.test_srcu_lockdep does not select a
deadlock scenario, a console message is printed and testing continues.

Although all flavors of RCU readers are annotated correctly with
lockdep as recursive read locks, they do not set the lock_acquire
'check' parameter. This means that RCU read locks are not added to
the lockdep dependency graph, which in turn means that lockdep cannot
detect RCU-based deadlocks. This is not a problem for RCU flavors having
atomic read-side critical sections because context-based annotations can
catch these deadlocks, see for example the RCU_LOCKDEP_WARN() statement
in synchronize_rcu(). But context-based annotations are not helpful
for sleepable RCU, especially given that it is perfectly legal to do
synchronize_srcu(&srcu1) within an srcu_read_lock(&srcu2).
However, we can detect SRCU-based by: (1) Making srcu_read_lock() a
'check'ed recursive read lock and (2) Making synchronize_srcu() a empty
write lock critical section. Even better, with the newly introduced
lock_sync(), we can avoid false positives about irq-unsafe/safe.
This commit therefore makes it so.
Note that NMI-safe SRCU read side critical sections are currently not
annotated, but might be annotated in the future.

The ref_scale_shutdown() kthread/function uses wait_event() to wait for
the refscale test to complete. However, although the read-side tests
are normally extremely fast, there is no law against specifying a very
large value for the refscale.loops module parameter or against having
a slow read-side primitive. Either way, this might well trigger the
hung-task timeout.
This commit therefore replaces those wait_event() calls with calls to
wait_event_idle(), which do not trigger the hung-task timeout.

During suspend, we see failures to suspend 1 in 300-500 suspends.
Looking closer, it appears that asynchronous RCU callbacks are being
queued as lazy even though synchronous callbacks are expedited. These
delays appear to not be very welcome by the suspend/resume code as
evidenced by these occasional suspend failures.
This commit modifies call_rcu() to check if rcu_async_should_hurry(),
which will return true if we are in suspend or in-kernel boot.

Because RCU CPU stall warnings are driven from the scheduling-clock
interrupt handler, a workload consisting of a very large number of
short-duration hardware interrupts can result in misleading stall-warning
messages. On systems supporting only a single level of interrupts,
that is, where interrupts handlers cannot be interrupted, this can
produce misleading diagnostics. The stack traces will show the
innocent-bystander interrupted task, not the interrupts that are
at the very least exacerbating the stall.
This situation can be improved by displaying the number of interrupts
and the CPU time that they have consumed. Diagnosing other types
of stalls can be eased by also providing the count of softirqs and
the CPU time that they consumed as well as the number of context
switches and the task-level CPU time consumed.
Consider the following output given this change:
rcu: INFO: rcu_preempt self-detected stall on CPU
rcu: 0-....: (1250 ticks this GP) <omitted>
rcu: hardirqs softirqs csw/system
rcu: number: 624 45 0
rcu: cputime: 69 1 2425 ==> 2500(ms)
This output shows that the number of hard and soft interrupts is small,
there are no context switches, and the system takes up a lot of time. This
indicates that the current task is looping with preemption disabled.
The impact on system performance is negligible because snapshot is
recorded only once for all continuous RCU stalls.
This added debugging information is suppressed by default and can be
enabled by building the kernel with CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_CPUTIME=y or
by booting with rcupdate.rcu_cpu_stall_cputime=1.
