      "message": "rcu: reduce the number of spurious RCU_SOFTIRQ invocations\n\nLai Jiangshan noted that up to 10% of the RCU_SOFTIRQ are spurious, and\ntraced this down to the fact that the current grace-period machinery\nwill uselessly raise RCU_SOFTIRQ when a given CPU needs to go through\na quiescent state, but has not yet done so.  In this situation, there\nmight well be nothing that RCU_SOFTIRQ can do, and the overhead can be\nworth worrying about in the ksoftirqd case.  This patch therefore avoids\nraising RCU_SOFTIRQ in this situation.\n\nChanges since v1 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/3/30/122 from Lai Jiangshan):\n\no\tOmit the rcu_qs_pending() prechecks, as they aren\u0027t that\n\tmuch less expensive than the quiescent-state checks.\n\no\tMerge with the set_need_resched() patch that reduces IPIs.\n\no\tAdd the new n_rp_report_qs field to the rcu_pending tracing output.\n\no\tUpdate the tracing documentation accordingly.\n\nSigned-off-by: Lai Jiangshan \u003claijs@cn.fujitsu.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Paul E.

      "message": "rcu: Fix grace-period-stall bug on large systems with CPU hotplug\n\nWhen the last CPU of a given leaf rcu_node structure goes\noffline, all of the tasks queued on that leaf rcu_node structure\n(due to having blocked in their current RCU read-side critical\nsections) are requeued onto the root rcu_node structure.  This\nrequeuing is carried out by rcu_preempt_offline_tasks().\nHowever, it is possible that these queued tasks are the only\nthing preventing the leaf rcu_node structure from reporting a\nquiescent state up the rcu_node hierarchy.  Unfortunately, the\nold code would fail to do this reporting, resulting in a\ngrace-period stall given the following sequence of events:\n\n1.\tKernel built for more than 32 CPUs on 32-bit systems or for more\n\tthan 64 CPUs on 64-bit systems, so that there is more than one\n\trcu_node structure.  (Or CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT is artificially set\n\tto a number smaller than CONFIG_NR_CPUS.)\n\n2.\tThe kernel is built with CONFIG_TREE_PREEMPT_RCU.\n\n3.\tA task running on a CPU associated with a given leaf rcu_node\n\tstructure blocks while in an RCU read-side critical section\n\t-and- that CPU has not yet passed through a quiescent state\n\tfor the current RCU grace period.  This will cause the task\n\tto be queued on the leaf rcu_node\u0027s blocked_tasks[] array, in\n\tparticular, on the element of this array corresponding to the\n\tcurrent grace period.\n\n4.\tEach of the remaining CPUs corresponding to this same leaf rcu_node\n\tstructure pass through a quiescent state.  However, the task is\n\tstill in its RCU read-side critical section, so these quiescent\n\tstates cannot be reported further up the rcu_node hierarchy.\n\tNevertheless, all bits in the leaf rcu_node structure\u0027s -\u003eqsmask\n\tfield are now zero.\n\n5.\tEach of the remaining CPUs go offline.  (The events in step\n\t#4 and #5 can happen in any order as long as each CPU passes\n\tthrough a quiescent state before going offline.)\n\n6.\tWhen the last CPU goes offline, __rcu_offline_cpu() will invoke\n\trcu_preempt_offline_tasks(), which will move the task to the\n\troot rcu_node structure, but without reporting a quiescent state\n\tup the rcu_node hierarchy (and this failure to report a quiescent\n\tstate is the bug).\n\n\tBut because this leaf rcu_node structure\u0027s -\u003eqsmask field is\n\talready zero and its -\u003eblock_tasks[] entries are all empty,\n\tforce_quiescent_state() will skip this rcu_node structure.\n\n\tTherefore, grace periods are now hung.\n\nThis patch abstracts some code out of rcu_read_unlock_special(),\ncalling the result task_quiet() by analogy with cpu_quiet(), and\ninvokes task_quiet() from both rcu_read_lock_special() and\n__rcu_offline_cpu().  Invoking task_quiet() from\n__rcu_offline_cpu() reports the quiescent state up the rcu_node\nhierarchy, fixing the bug.  This ends up requiring a separate\nlock_class_key per level of the rcu_node hierarchy, which this\npatch also provides.\n\nSigned-off-by: Paul E.

      "message": "rcu: Fix long-grace-period race between forcing and initialization\n\nVery long RCU read-side critical sections (50 milliseconds or\nso) can cause a race between force_quiescent_state() and\nrcu_start_gp() as follows on kernel builds with multi-level\nrcu_node hierarchies:\n\n1.\tCPU 0 calls force_quiescent_state(), sees that there is a\n\tgrace period in progress, and acquires -\u003efsqlock.\n\n2.\tCPU 1 detects the end of the grace period, and so\n\tcpu_quiet_msk_finish() sets rsp-\u003ecompleted to rsp-\u003egpnum.\n\tThis operation is carried out under the root rnp-\u003elock,\n\tbut CPU 0 has not yet acquired that lock.  Note that\n\trsp-\u003esignaled is still RCU_SAVE_DYNTICK from the last\n\tgrace period.\n\n3.\tCPU 1 calls rcu_start_gp(), but no one wants a new grace\n\tperiod, so it drops the root rnp-\u003elock and returns.\n\n4.\tCPU 0 acquires the root rnp-\u003elock and picks up rsp-\u003ecompleted\n\tand rsp-\u003esignaled, then drops rnp-\u003elock.  It then enters the\n\tRCU_SAVE_DYNTICK leg of the switch statement.\n\n5.\tCPU 2 invokes call_rcu(), and now needs a new grace period.\n\tIt calls rcu_start_gp(), which acquires the root rnp-\u003elock, sets\n\trsp-\u003esignaled to RCU_GP_INIT (too bad that CPU 0 is already in\n\tthe RCU_SAVE_DYNTICK leg of the switch statement!)  and starts\n\tinitializing the rcu_node hierarchy.  If there are multiple\n\tlevels to the hierarchy, it will drop the root rnp-\u003elock and\n\tinitialize the lower levels of the hierarchy.\n\n6.\tCPU 0 notes that rsp-\u003ecompleted has not changed, which permits\n        both CPU 2 and CPU 0 to try updating it concurrently.  If CPU 0\u0027s\n\tupdate prevails, later calls to force_quiescent_state() can\n\tcount old quiescent states against the new grace period, which\n\tcan in turn result in premature ending of grace periods.\n\n\tNot good.\n\nThis patch adds an RCU_GP_IDLE state for rsp-\u003esignaled that is\nset initially at boot time and any time a grace period ends.\nThis prevents CPU 0 from getting into the workings of\nforce_quiescent_state() in step 4.  Additional locking and\nchecks prevent the concurrent update of rsp-\u003esignaled in step 6.\n\nSigned-off-by: Paul E.

This will cause the next invocation of\nforce_quiescent_state() to end the grace period.\n\nWithout this fix, this hang can be triggered in an hour or so on\nsome machines with rcutorture and random CPU onlining/offlining.\nWith this fix, these same machines pass a full 10 hours of this\nsort of abuse.\n\nSigned-off-by: Paul E.

      "message": "rcu: Merge preemptable-RCU functionality into hierarchical RCU\n\nCreate a kernel/rcutree_plugin.h file that contains definitions\nfor preemptable RCU (or, under the #else branch of the #ifdef,\nempty definitions for the classic non-preemptable semantics).\nThese definitions fit into plugins defined in kernel/rcutree.c\nfor this purpose.\n\nThis variant of preemptable RCU uses a new algorithm whose\nread-side expense is roughly that of classic hierarchical RCU\nunder CONFIG_PREEMPT. This new algorithm\u0027s update-side expense\nis similar to that of classic hierarchical RCU, and, in absence\nof read-side preemption or blocking, is exactly that of classic\nhierarchical RCU.  Perhaps more important, this new algorithm\nhas a much simpler implementation, saving well over 1,000 lines\nof code compared to mainline\u0027s implementation of preemptable\nRCU, which will hopefully be retired in favor of this new\nalgorithm.\n\nThe simplifications are obtained by maintaining per-task\nnesting state for running tasks, and using a simple\nlock-protected algorithm to handle accounting when tasks block\nwithin RCU read-side critical sections, making use of lessons\nlearned while creating numerous user-level RCU implementations\nover the past 18 months.\n\nSigned-off-by: Paul E.
