[PATCH v3 0/4] Simple wait queue support

[PATCH v3 0/4] Simple wait queue support

[Daniel Wagner]

Hi,

Only small updates in this version, like fixing mips and reordering
two patches to avoid lockdep warning when doing git bissect.  Reported
by Fengguang Wu's build robot. Thanks!

Also removed the unnecessary initialization in the rcu patch as Paul
pointed out.

Hopefully, I do a better job on Cc list this time.

These patches are against

  tip/master 11f4d95e6b634d7d41e7c2b521fcec261efbf769

also available as git tree:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/wagi/linux.git tip-swait

cheers,
daniel

changes since v2
 - rebased again on tip/master. The patches apply
   cleanly on v4.3-rc6 too.
 - fixed up mips
 - reordered patches to avoid lockdep warning when doing bissect.
 - remove unnecessary initialization of rsp->rda in rcu_init_one().

changes since v1 (PATCH v0)
 - rebased and fixed some typos found by cross building
   for S390, ARM and powerpc. For some unknown reason didn't catch
   them last time.
 - dropped completion patches because it is not clear yet
   how to handle complete_all() calls hard-irq/atomic contexts
   and swake_up_all.

changes since v0 (RFC v0)
 - promoted the series to PATCH state instead of RFC
 - fixed a few fallouts with build all and some cross compilers
   such ARM, PowerPC, S390.
 - Added the simple waitqueue transformation for KVM from -rt
   including some numbers requested by Paolo.
 - Added a commit message to PeterZ's patch. Hope he likes it.

[I got the numbering wrong in v1, so instead 'PATCH v1' you find it
 as 'PATCH v0' series]

[PATCH v3 1/4] wait.[ch]: Introduce the simple waitqueue (swait) implementation

[Daniel Wagner]

From: "Peter Zijlstra (Intel)" <peterz@infradead.org>

The existing wait queue support has support for custom wake up call
backs, wake flags, wake key (passed to call back) and exclusive
flags that allow wakers to be tagged as exclusive, for limiting
the number of wakers.

In a lot of cases, none of these features are used, and hence we
can benefit from a slimmed down version that lowers memory overhead
and reduces runtime overhead.

The concept originated from -rt, where waitqueues are a constant
source of trouble, as we can't convert the head lock to a raw
spinlock due to fancy and long lasting callbacks.

With the removal of custom callbacks, we can use a raw lock for
queue list manipulations, hence allowing the simple wait support
to be used in -rt.

+ * Simple wait queues

+ * times.
+ *
+ * In order to make this so, we had to drop a fair number of features of the
+ * other waitqueue code; notably:
+ *
+ *  - mixing INTERRUPTIBLE and UNINTERRUPTIBLE sleeps on the same waitqueue;
+ *    all wakeups are TASK_NORMAL in order to avoid O(n) lookups for the right
+ *    sleeper state.
+ *
+ *  - the exclusive mode; because this requires preserving the list order
+ *    and this is hard.
+ *
+ *  - custom wake functions; because you cannot give any guarantees about
+ *    random code.
+ *
+ * As a side effect of this; the data structures are slimmer.
+ *
+ * One would recommend using this wait queue where possible.

Just be curious, what's this break for? Or what's this loop(?) for?

Lazy way of writing: if (!empty) { curr = first-entry;

I have to guess here, since Peter wrote it. It looks like the function
is based on __wake_up_common(). Though I agree the loop is not necessary
and something like below should the trick. Unless I do not see something
important.

	void swake_up_locked(struct swait_queue_head *q)
	{
		struct swait_queue *curr;

		if (list_emtpy(&q))
			return;

		curr = list_first_entry(&q, typeof(*curr), task_list);
		wake_up_process(curr->task);
		list_del_init(&curr->task_list);
	}

If Peter is not complaining I change swake_up_locked() for the next version.

Thanks,
Daniel

Yes, that is equivalent, just more code. As I wrote in my last email; I
was lazy :-)

This gains better readability, I think ;-)

;-)

Maybe introduce a list_pick_one_if_any() macro for convenience:

	#define list_pick_one_if_any(pos, list, member) 	\
	if (!list_empty(list) && (pos = list_first_entry(list, typeof(*pos), member), 1)) 

then

	void swake_up_locked(struct swait_queue_head *q)
	{
		struct swait_queue *curr;

		list_pick_one_if_any(curr, q->task_list, task_list) {
			wake_up_process(curr->task);
			list_del_init(&curr->task_list);
		}
	}
	


Anyway, thank you both for going through this.

Boqun

I intentionally named these functions swait_wake* in my initial
implementation for two reasons:

  - typoing wake_up vs. swake_up only emits a compiler warning and does
    not break the build
    
  - I really prefer new infrastructure to have a consistent prefix
    which reflects the "subsystem". That's simpler to read and simpler
    to grep for.

Can we please go with the original names?

swait_prepare()
swait_prepare_locked()
swait_finish()
swait_finish_locked()

Hmm?

> +#define swait_event(wq, condition)					\

Here we have the same swait vs. wait problem as above. So either we
come up with a slightly different name or have an explicit type check
in __swait_event event.

I played a bit around on this and came up with the patch below. The type
check results in an error.

-Werror ftw, but yes good point.

I generally agree, but seeing how this is really an 'extension' of
existing infrastructure, I went along with this.

Type check macros, otherwise you break the naming scheme you so
adamantly push for (or end up with horrid stuff like
swait_wait_event()).

I suppose we can do the rename as you propose to avoid single letter
typoes, but it does bug me to have two nearly identical bits of infra
with such dissimilar names.

I can see your point, but OTOH the existing interface is ugly and
copying it does not make it any better.

But I'm really not religious about that. Up to you :)

[PATCH v3 2/4] KVM: use simple waitqueue for vcpu->wq

[Daniel Wagner]

From: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com>

The problem:

On -rt, an emulated LAPIC timer instances has the following path:

1) hard interrupt
2) ksoftirqd is scheduled
3) ksoftirqd wakes up vcpu thread
4) vcpu thread is scheduled

This extra context switch introduces unnecessary latency in the
LAPIC path for a KVM guest.

The solution:

Allow waking up vcpu thread from hardirq context,
thus avoiding the need for ksoftirqd to be scheduled.

Normal waitqueues make use of spinlocks, which on -RT
are sleepable locks. Therefore, waking up a waitqueue
waiter involves locking a sleeping lock, which
is not allowed from hard interrupt context.

cyclictest command line:

This patch reduces the average latency in my tests from 14us to 11us.

Daniel writes:
Paolo asked for numbers from kvm-unit-tests/tscdeadline_latency
benchmark on mainline. The test was run 382, respectively 300 times:

  ./x86-run x86/tscdeadline_latency.flat -cpu host

with idle=poll.

The test seems not to deliver really stable numbers though most of
them are smaller which I consider a good sign:

Anything above ~10000 cycles means that the host went to C1 or
lower---the number means more or less nothing in that case.

The mean shows an improvement indeed.

This one looks buggy, one should _NOT_ assume that your blocking
condition is true after schedule().

Should we not take this opportunity to get rid of these open-coded wait
loops?


Does this work?

I find them way more readable than a 6-argument __wait_event...

I've forwarded your remark about kvmppc_vcore_blocked to the kvm-ppc
maintainers.

I could introduce wait_event_idle_cmd() and be at 3 if you think that
helps.

#define __wait_event_idle_cmd(wq, cond, cmd) \
	___wait_event(wq, cond, TASK_IDLE, 0, 0, cmd)

etc..

Its that awkward waited variable that makes it hard to use the 'regular'
2 parameter thing. Although you could of course do horrible things like:

	__wait_event_idle(vcpu->wq, ({
		bool done = kvm_cpu_check_block(vcpu) < 0;
		if (!done)
			waited = true;
		done;
	}));

Do you mean it's buggy in calling finish_swait there, or it's buggy in
not immediately re-checking the condition?  If the latter, then it's
OK because the sole caller of this function calls it in a loop and
checks the condition (all runnable vcpus in this vcore are idle) each
time around the loop.

Wow, triple underscores, that must be an ultra-trendy function. :)

That all looks OK at a first glance, I'll give it a whirl.

Ah, I missed the caller loop, yes that's fine.

I'm biased against such code for having seen a few too many broken
open-coded wait loops I suppose..

Needs to be kvm_vcpu_check_block not kvm_cpu_check_block (note the
extra 'v').

No, on Book3S HV (POWER8) the VM hangs immediately after the kernel
brings up all the secondary vCPUs, and is then unkillable.  I'm not
sure what's wrong, although I wonder why you have TASK_IDLE rather
than TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE in the ___wait_event call.

This was under the assumption that INTERRUPTIBLE was because you wanted
to avoid increasing load. Which was based on the lack of
signal_pending() tests near there (although there might have been in the
outermost loop which I overlooked).

If it does rely on signals, then this was obviously false and TASK_IDLE
is indeed wrong.

If I get this right, the current patch is okay but you are going to
redactor the code? Maybe I can cherry pick your patch then and update
this patch accordingly.

[PATCH v3 3/4] rcu: Do not call rcu_nocb_gp_cleanup() while holding rnp->lock

[Daniel Wagner]

rcu_nocb_gp_cleanup() is called while holding rnp->lock. Currently,
this is okay because the wake_up_all() in rcu_nocb_gp_cleanup() will
not enable the IRQs. lockdep is happy.

By switching over using swait this is not true anymore. swake_up_all()
enables the IRQs while processing the waiters. __do_softirq() can now
run and will eventually call rcu_process_callbacks() which wants to
grap nrp->lock.

Let's move the rcu_nocb_gp_cleanup() call outside the lock before we
switch over to swait.

If we would hold the rnp->lock and use swait, lockdep reports
following:

[PATCH v3 4/4] rcu: use simple wait queues where possible in rcutree

[Daniel Wagner]

From: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com>

As of commit dae6e64d2bcfd4b06304ab864c7e3a4f6b5fedf4 ("rcu: Introduce
proper blocking to no-CBs kthreads GP waits") the RCU subsystem started
making use of wait queues.

Here we convert all additions of RCU wait queues to use simple wait queues,
since they don't need the extra overhead of the full wait queue features.

Originally this was done for RT kernels[1], since we would get things like...

  BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/rtmutex.c:659
  in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 1, pid: 8, name: rcu_preempt
  Pid: 8, comm: rcu_preempt Not tainted
  Call Trace:
   [<ffffffff8106c8d0>] __might_sleep+0xd0/0xf0
   [<ffffffff817d77b4>] rt_spin_lock+0x24/0x50
   [<ffffffff8106fcf6>] __wake_up+0x36/0x70
   [<ffffffff810c4542>] rcu_gp_kthread+0x4d2/0x680
   [<ffffffff8105f910>] ? __init_waitqueue_head+0x50/0x50
   [<ffffffff810c4070>] ? rcu_gp_fqs+0x80/0x80
   [<ffffffff8105eabb>] kthread+0xdb/0xe0
   [<ffffffff8106b912>] ? finish_task_switch+0x52/0x100
   [<ffffffff817e0754>] kernel_thread_helper+0x4/0x10
   [<ffffffff8105e9e0>] ? __init_kthread_worker+0x60/0x60
   [<ffffffff817e0750>] ? gs_change+0xb/0xb

...and hence simple wait queues were deployed on RT out of necessity
(as simple wait uses a raw lock), but mainline might as well take
advantage of the more streamline support as well.

[1] This is a carry forward of work from v3.10-rt; the original conversion
was by Thomas on an earlier -rt version, and Sebastian extended it to
additional post-3.10 added RCU waiters; here I've added a commit log and
unified the RCU changes into one, and uprev'd it to match mainline RCU.

I didn't find this commit, so I am (temporarily!) applying against
19a5ecde086a (rcu: Suppress lockdep false positive for rcp->exp_funnel_mutex)
for testing purposes.  RCU appears to be a bit of a moving target here...

I verified it and I can't find it either in the upstream tree anymore.
The chances I got it wrong is quite likely considering that I just have
dangerous half knowledge on how the tip tree is organized. I was under
the impression that tip/master is a merge only branch. And even if that
is the case there is plenty of possibilities using git the wrong way.

Please let me know which tree is the preferred target. The patches seem
to apply cleanly on most trees so far.

Yeah, the maintainer of RCU seems to be busy :)
