2008-06-16rcu: remove unused field struct rcu_data::rcu_taskletLai Jiangshan

2008-06-16Revert "prohibit rcutorture from being compiled into the kernel"Ingo Molnar
This reverts commit 9aaffc898ff4a3df18c5fc4b9e0fa47e779ad726. That commit was a very bad idea. RCU_TORTURE found many boot timing bugs and other sorts of bugs in the past, so excluding it from boot images is very silly. The option already depends on DEBUG_KERNEL and is disabled by default. Even when it runs, the test threads are reniced. If it annoys people we could add a runtime sysctl.

2008-05-19rcu: fix rcu_try_flip_waitack_needed() to prevent grace-period stallPaul E. McKenney
The comment was correct -- need to make the code match the comment. Without this patch, if a CPU goes dynticks idle (and stays there forever) in just the right phase of preemptible-RCU grace-period processing, grace periods stall. The offending sequence of events (courtesy of Promela/spin, at least after I got the liveness criterion coded correctly...) is as follows: o CPU 0 is in dynticks-idle mode. Its dynticks_progress_counter is (say) 10. o CPU 0 takes an interrupt, so rcu_irq_enter() increments CPU 0's dynticks_progress_counter to 11. o CPU 1 is doing RCU grace-period processing in rcu_try_flip_idle(), sees rcu_pending(), so invokes dyntick_save_progress_counter(), which in turn takes a snapshot of CPU 0's dynticks_progress_counter into CPU 0's rcu_dyntick_snapshot -- now set to 11. CPU 1 then updates the RCU grace-period state to rcu_try_flip_waitack(). o CPU 0 returns from its interrupt, so rcu_irq_exit() increments CPU 0's dynticks_progress_counter to 12. o CPU 1 later invokes rcu_try_flip_waitack(), which notices that CPU 0 has not yet responded, and hence in turn invokes rcu_try_flip_waitack_needed(). This function examines the state of CPU 0's dynticks_progress_counter and rcu_dyntick_snapshot variables, which it copies to curr (== 12) and snap (== 11), respectively. Because curr!=snap, the first condition fails. Because curr-snap is only 1 and snap is odd, the second condition fails. rcu_try_flip_waitack_needed() therefore incorrectly concludes that it must wait for CPU 0 to explicitly acknowledge the counter flip. o CPU 0 remains forever in dynticks-idle mode, never taking any more hardware interrupts or any NMIs, and never running any more tasks. (Of course, -something- will usually eventually happen, which might be why we haven't seen this one in the wild. Still should be fixed!) Therefore the grace period never ends. Fix is to make the code match the comment, as shown below. With this fix, the above scenario would be satisfied with curr being even, and allow the grace period to proceed. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2008-05-19rcu: split list.h and move rcu-protected lists into rculist.hFranck Bui-Huu
Move rcu-protected lists from list.h into a new header file rculist.h. This is done because list are a very used primitive structure all over the kernel and it's currently impossible to include other header files in this list.h without creating some circular dependencies. For example, list.h implements rcu-protected list and uses rcu_dereference() without including rcupdate.h. It actually compiles because users of rcu_dereference() are macros. Others RCU functions could be used too but aren't probably because of this. Therefore this patch creates rculist.h which includes rcupdates without to many changes/troubles.

2008-05-19rcu: add memory barriers and comments to rcu_check_callbacks()Paul E. McKenney
Add comments to the logic that infers quiescent states when interrupting from either user mode or the idle loop. Also add a memory barrier: it appears that James Huang was in fact onto something, as the scheduler is much less synchronization happy than it once was, so we can no longer rely on its memory barriers in all cases.

2008-05-19rcu: add call_rcu_sched()Paul E. McKenney
Fourth cut of patch to provide the call_rcu_sched(). This is again to synchronize_sched() as call_rcu() is to synchronize_rcu(). Should be fine for experimental and -rt use, but not ready for inclusion. With some luck, I will be able to tell Andrew to come out of hiding on the next round. Passes multi-day rcutorture sessions with concurrent CPU hotplugging. Fixes since the first version include a bug that could result in indefinite blocking (spotted by Gautham Shenoy), better resiliency against CPU-hotplug operations, and other minor fixes. Fixes since the second version include reworking grace-period detection to avoid deadlocks that could happen when running concurrently with CPU hotplug, adding Mathieu's fix to avoid the softlockup messages, as well as Mathieu's fix to allow use earlier in boot. Fixes since the third version include a wrong-CPU bug spotted by Andrew, getting rid of the obsolete synchronize_kernel API that somehow snuck back in, merging spin_unlock() and local_irq_restore() in a few places, commenting the code that checks for quiescent states based on interrupting from user-mode execution or the idle loop, removing some inline attributes, and some code-style changes. Known/suspected shortcomings: o I still do not entirely trust the sleep/wakeup logic. Next step will be to use a private snapshot of the CPU online mask in rcu_sched_grace_period() -- if the CPU wasn't there at the start of the grace period, we don't need to hear from it. And the bit about accounting for changes in online CPUs inside of rcu_sched_grace_period() is ugly anyway. o It might be good for rcu_sched_grace_period() to invoke resched_cpu() when a given CPU wasn't responding quickly, but resched_cpu() is declared static... This patch also fixes a long-standing bug in the earlier preemptable-RCU implementation of synchronize_rcu() that could result in loss of concurrent external changes to a task's CPU affinity mask. I still cannot remember who reported this... Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2008-05-19rcupreempt: remove duplicate prototypesSteven Rostedt
rcu_batches_completed and rcu_patches_completed_bh are both declared in rcuclassic.h and rcupreempt.h. This patch removes the extra prototypes for them from rcupdate.h. rcu_batches_completed_bh is defined as a static inline in the rcupreempt.h header file. Trying to export this as EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL causes linking problems with the powerpc linker. There's no need to export a static inlined function.
