workqueue: ensure @task is valid across kthread_stop()

2014-02-18T21:35:20+00:00

When a kworker should die, the kworkre is notified through WORKER_DIE
flag instead of kthread_should_stop().  This, IIRC, is primarily to
keep the test synchronized inside worker_pool lock.  WORKER_DIE is
first set while holding pool->lock, the lock is dropped and
kthread_stop() is called.

Unfortunately, this means that there's a slight chance that the target
kworker may see WORKER_DIE before kthread_stop() finishes and exits
and frees the target task before or during kthread_stop().

Fix it by pinning the target task before setting WORKER_DIE and
putting it after kthread_stop() is done.

tj: Improved patch description and comment.  Moved pinning above
    WORKER_DIE for better signify what it's protecting.

In case CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_WORK is defined, it is needed to
call destroy_work_on_stack() which frees the debug object to pair
with INIT_WORK_ONSTACK().

Revert "workqueue: allow work_on_cpu() to be called recursively"

2013-11-25T21:37:22+00:00

This reverts commit c2fda509667b0fda4372a237f5a59ea4570b1627.

c2fda509667b removed lockdep annotation from work_on_cpu() to work around
the PCI path that calls work_on_cpu() from within a work_on_cpu() work item
(PF driver .probe() method -> pci_enable_sriov() -> add VFs -> VF driver
.probe method).

961da7fb6b22 ("PCI: Avoid unnecessary CPU switch when calling driver
.probe() method) avoids that recursive work_on_cpu() use in a different
way, so this revert restores the work_on_cpu() lockdep annotation.

workqueue: fix pool ID allocation leakage and remove BUILD_BUG_ON() in init_workqueues

2013-11-22T23:14:47+00:00

When one work starts execution, the high bits of work's data contain
pool ID. It can represent a maximum of WORK_OFFQ_POOL_NONE. Pool ID
is assigned WORK_OFFQ_POOL_NONE when the work being initialized
indicating that no pool is associated and get_work_pool() uses it to
check the associated pool. So if worker_pool_assign_id() assigns a
ID greater than or equal WORK_OFFQ_POOL_NONE to a pool, it triggers
leakage, and it may break the non-reentrance guarantee.

This patch fix this issue by modifying the worker_pool_assign_id()
function calling idr_alloc() by setting @end param WORK_OFFQ_POOL_NONE.

Furthermore, in the current implementation, the BUILD_BUG_ON() in
init_workqueues makes no sense. The number of worker pools needed
cannot be determined at compile time, because the number of backing
pools for UNBOUND workqueues is dynamic based on the assigned custom
attributes. So remove it.

workqueue: fix ordered workqueues in NUMA setups

2013-11-22T23:14:02+00:00

An ordered workqueue implements execution ordering by using single
pool_workqueue with max_active == 1.  On a given pool_workqueue, work
items are processed in FIFO order and limiting max_active to 1
enforces the queued work items to be processed one by one.

Unfortunately, 4c16bd327c ("workqueue: implement NUMA affinity for
unbound workqueues") accidentally broke this guarantee by applying
NUMA affinity to ordered workqueues too.  On NUMA setups, an ordered
workqueue would end up with separate pool_workqueues for different
nodes.  Each pool_workqueue still limits max_active to 1 but multiple
work items may be executed concurrently and out of order depending on
which node they are queued to.

Fix it by using dedicated ordered_wq_attrs[] when creating ordered
workqueues.  The new attrs match the unbound ones except that no_numa
is always set thus forcing all NUMA nodes to share the default
pool_workqueue.

While at it, add sanity check in workqueue creation path which
verifies that an ordered workqueues has only the default
pool_workqueue.
