[PATCH v2 00/10] Allow opal-async waiters to get interrupted

[PATCH v2 00/10] Allow opal-async waiters to get interrupted

[Cyril Bur]

Hello,

Version one of this series ignored that OPAL may continue to use
buffers passed to it after Linux kfree()s the buffer. This version
addresses this, not in a particularly nice way - future work could
make this better. This version also includes a few cleanups and fixups
to powernv_flash driver one along the course of this work that I
thought I would just send.

The problem we're trying to solve here is that currently all users of
the opal-async calls must use wait_event(), this may be undesirable
when there is a userspace process behind the request for the opal
call, if OPAL takes too long to complete the call then hung task
warnings will appear.

In order to solve the problem callers should use
wait_event_interruptible(), due to the interruptible nature of this
call the opal-async infrastructure needs to track extra state
associated with each async token, this is prepared for in patch 6/10.

While I was working on the opal-async infrastructure improvements
Stewart fixed another problem and he relies on the corrected behaviour
of opal-async so I've sent it here.

Hello MTD folk, traditionally Michael Ellerman takes powernv_flash
driver patches through the powerpc tree, as always your feedback is
very welcome.

Thanks,

Cyril

[PATCH v2 01/10] mtd: powernv_flash: Use WARN_ON_ONCE() rather than BUG_ON()

[Cyril Bur]

BUG_ON() should be reserved in situations where we can not longer
guarantee the integrity of the system. In the case where
powernv_flash_async_op() receives an impossible op, we can still
guarantee the integrity of the system.

[PATCH v2 02/10] mtd: powernv_flash: Lock around concurrent access to OPAL

[Cyril Bur]

OPAL can only manage one flash access at a time and will return an
OPAL_BUSY error for each concurrent access to the flash. The simplest
way to prevent this from happening is with a mutex.

[PATCH v2 03/10] mtd: powernv_flash: Don't treat OPAL_SUCCESS as an error

[Cyril Bur]

While this driver expects to interact asynchronously, OPAL is well
within its rights to return OPAL_SUCCESS to indicate that the operation
completed without the need for a callback. We shouldn't treat
OPAL_SUCCESS as an error rather we should wrap up and return promptly to
the caller.

Signed-off-by: Cyril Bur <cyrilbur@gmail.com>

I'll note here that currently no OPAL exists that will return
OPAL_SUCCESS so there isn't the possibility of a bug today.

[PATCH v2 05/10] powerpc/opal: Make __opal_async_{get, release}_token() static

[Cyril Bur]

There are no callers of both __opal_async_get_token() and
__opal_async_release_token().

This patch also removes the possibility of "emergency through
synchronous call to __opal_async_get_token()" as such it makes more
sense to initialise opal_sync_sem for the maximum number of async
tokens.

[PATCH v2 06/10] powerpc/opal: Rework the opal-async interface

[Cyril Bur]

Future work will add an opal_async_wait_response_interruptible()
which will call wait_event_interruptible(). This work requires extra
token state to be tracked as wait_event_interruptible() can return and
the caller could release the token before OPAL responds.

Currently token state is tracked with two bitfields which are 64 bits
big but may not need to be as OPAL informs Linux how many async tokens
there are. It also uses an array indexed by token to store response
messages for each token.

The bitfields make it difficult to add more state and also provide a
hard maximum as to how many tokens there can be - it is possible that
OPAL will inform Linux that there are more than 64 tokens.

Rather than add a bitfield to track the extra state, rework the
internals slightly.

[PATCH v2 07/10] powernv/opal-sensor: remove not needed lock

[Cyril Bur]

From: Stewart Smith <stewart@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Parallel sensor reads could run out of async tokens due to
opal_get_sensor_data grabbing tokens but then doing the sensor
read behind a mutex, essentially serializing the (possibly
asynchronous and relatively slow) sensor read.

It turns out that the mutex isn't needed at all, not only
should the OPAL interface allow concurrent reads, the implementation
is certainly safe for that, and if any sensor we were reading
from somewhere isn't, doing the mutual exclusion in the kernel
is the wrong place to do it, OPAL should be doing it for the kernel.

So, remove the mutex.

Additionally, we shouldn't be printing out an error when we don't
get a token as the only way this should happen is if we've been
interrupted in down_interruptible() on the semaphore.

[PATCH v2 08/10] powerpc/opal: Add opal_async_wait_response_interruptible() to opal-async

[Cyril Bur]

This patch adds an _interruptible version of opal_async_wait_response().
This is useful when a long running OPAL call is performed on behalf of a
userspace thread, for example, the opal_flash_{read,write,erase}
functions performed by the powernv-flash MTD driver.

It is foreseeable that these functions would take upwards of two minutes
causing the wait_event() to block long enough to cause hung task
warnings. Furthermore, wait_event_interruptible() is preferable as
otherwise there is no way for signals to stop the process which is going
to be confusing in userspace.

ISTM that if you are doing (something like) a flash full device erase
(that really can take minutes) it isn't actually an interruptible
operation - the flash chip will still be busy.
So allowing the user process be interrupted just leaves a big mess.

OTOH the 'hung task' warning isn't the only problem with uninterruptible
sleeps - the processes also count towards the 'load average'.
Some software believes the 'load average' is a meaningful value.

It would be more generally useful for tasks to be able to sleep
uninterruptibly without counting towards the 'load average' or triggering
the 'task stuck' warning.
(I've code somewhere that sleeps interruptibly unless there is a signal
pending when it sleeps uninterruptibly.)

WRT flash erases, 'whole device' erases aren't significantly quicker
than sector by sector erases.
The latter can be interrupted between sectors.
I'm not sure you'd want to do writes than lock down enough kernel
memory to take even a second to complete.

	David

Agreed.

Yes, and because the read write and erase ops are actually calls into
firmware which in some cases completely emulates flash we can mitigate
the mess of allowing the process to be interrupted that you mention
above.

I'm not sure what you mean here, if I understand correctly, this is
what I'm doing. In the patch to the powernv_flash driver which uses
opal_async_wait_response_interruptible() I essentially do the
interruptible and if it breaks early the driver determines if it is
safe to return to userspace otherwise it sleeps uninterruptibly
(hopefully not for long). I was hesitant to put that logic here and
prefered to leave it up to the caller to make the decision as to what
to do.

Yes, I'm rewriting some of the userspace tools we have to do everything
sector by sector. MTD interfaces allow big reads/writes and erases so
we should still handle it as best we can.

> The latter can be interrupted between sectors.

The MTD core actually chunks them up before passing them to the to
backing driver so I don't think holding too much memory is a problem.
Because the time spent in OPAL servicing flash calls is hard to
determine and might not even be that related to the size of the
operation, even smaller ops might still spend 'time' in OPAL.

[PATCH v2 10/10] mtd: powernv_flash: Use opal_async_wait_response_interruptible()

[Cyril Bur]

The OPAL calls performed in this driver shouldn't be using
opal_async_wait_response() as this performs a wait_event() which, on
long running OPAL calls could result in hung task warnings. wait_event()
prevents timely signal delivery which is also undesirable.

This patch also attempts to quieten down the use of dev_err() when
errors haven't actually occurred and also to return better information up
the stack rather than always -EIO.
