[Patch] Per kthread freezer flags

[Patch] Per kthread freezer flags

[Nigel Cunningham]

Hi Andrew et al.

At the moment, all kthreads have PF_NOFREEZE set, meaning that they're
not refrigerated during a suspend. This isn't right for some threads.
They should be frozen while suspending. The attached patch implements
per-kthread freezer flags. It does this by adding a new parameter to the
create_workqueue call and its siblings. The new parameter contains the
process flags relevant to suspending to be set. At the moment, this only
means PF_FREEZE, but when I send the freezer improvements, a
PF_SYNCTHREAD flag will also be valid here. The new parameter is passed
down through the calls and applied (after masking invalid bits) once the
thread is created.

Pavel has seen the code and requested that I send it.

Regards,

Nigel

hm.  In some ways I'd prefer to see new
create_singlethread_workqueue_freezer(char *) or whatever, rather than
adding an extra argument.  That's neater, smaller code and
forward-compatible.

But then again, the advantage of breaking the build for unconverted code is
that it makes people think about what their threads should be doing, so
let's go your way.

The one concern I'd have is that $RANDOM_KERNEL_DEVELOPER probably doesn't
have a clue whether or not his kernel thread should be setting PF_NOFREEZE.
What are the guidelines here?

wrt your "Add missing refrigerator support" patch: I'll suck that up, but
be aware that there's a big i2o patch in -mm which basically rips out the
driver which you just fixed up.  Perhaps you can send Markus Lidel
<Markus.Lidel@shadowconnect.com> and I a fix for that version of the driver
sometime?

If a process might be/is needed to get the image to the storage device,
it should be NOFREEZE. (Thus, USB threads might be NOFREEZE to allow for
USB storage, likewise for SCSI). When I get an NFS writer done, the
threads for network cards could probably be made NOFREEZE too. Things
like kjournald don't need to run during suspend (even if we're writing
to a swapfile in an ext3 partition), so can be 0 for now (SYNCTHREAD
later).

I've just started following your mm patches, and will do updates for
last nights release shortly.

BTW, the "Add missing refrigerator support" breaks ACPI S3 and S4
support for me (2.6.8-rc2-bk7) and my laptop (NEC Chrom@). When
resuming, my 3c59x CardBus NIC is not powered up forcing me to eject it,
then plug it again.

Hmm. I'll take a look. Those patches are straight out of current
suspend2 and have been in there for some time. Perhaps I just don't have
any users who have that config.

Looking again at the patch, I'm not sure which diff would be relevant to
you. When the card is running, do you have a kIrDAd thread?

It doesn't look like I've touched any of those threads. I have doubts
about irqd/0 (is that kirqd reworked?), so you might try making setting
PF_NOFREEZE and seeing if it makes a difference. I haven't done the
switch to rc2-mm1 yet, so haven't gotten to those issues.

kirqd is voluntary-preempt patch by Ingo Molnar. I have also applied
several other patches, like Con's Staircase scheduler policy and some
latency fixes.

Okay. So, just to make sure I understand you correctly, suspending works
fine with all of these other patches added and adding the extra
refrigerator calls breaks it. Are you at all able to narrow it down to a
particular change?

Exactly! I'm currently running a highly patched kernel based on 2.6.8-
rc2-bk7 plus Con's work and Ingo's voluntary preempt. They work fine
when suspending to memory (S3) and to disk (S4 via swsusp), but adding
your kthread freezer flags to the mix keeps my CardBus NIC from being
recognized when resuming from S3: I need to unplug it, then plug it to
make it functional again.

However, I'm not sure what causes this behavior.

Could you please try reversing each of the changes in my patch until it
starts working?  The NFS ones could be done all at once - they should be
irrelevant to you anyway IIRC.

Well, I've tried the kthread freezer patch against 2.6.8-rc2-mm1 and it
works fine. However, with kthread freezer applied, suspending and
resuming is much slower (around 5 seconds slower). Thus, I guess all my
problems must be related to some specific patch I'm applying against the
current -bk tree.

I'll keep investigating this issue, but I think voluntary-preempt might
have some strange interactions with these kthread changes.

Okay. That might be due to the treatment of ksoftirqd, which Pavel and I
have agreed needs changing.

Me too, when I get a chance. I'm running rc2-mm1 now, and it seems okay.
Especially since I turned off USB 2 support in the BIOS :>

Looks good, but see comments below.

What if someone does swapon /dev/pktdvd0?

I'm not 100% certain what kmirrord does, but we certainly do not
want raid array to be reconstructed while suspending.

Are you sure? Unless swsusp itself uses aio, we want this to freeze.

Ugh, creating thread normally only to add PF_NOFREEZE 2 lines later
looks bad.

I guess softinterrupts may be neccessary for suspend... Random drivers may use
them, right?

Sorry. That's my ignorance. I thought the packet writer was only for

Mmm. Again, I plead picking it based on what I thought the code did. Can
we get an author to say which it should be?

I think it was needed to get the writes happening. Even if its wrong, it
shouldn't matter as the only I/O pending should be what we're doing.

I made this change at least a month ago and no one using suspend2 has
had any problems since, so perhaps not. Then again, with the voluntary
preemption (from what I've seen of comments about it) this would be a
definite yes.

Well, swapon /dev/pktdvd would be *very* bad idea as optical drives
are very slow, but PF_NOFREEZE is more correct here.

I'd make it stop to be safe, and see what happens ;-).

I'm little bit nervous about this one. I'd make it stop, and see if it
breaks... From quick look at aio.c it really does *not* seem we need this.

Okay. I'll do a new patch for Andrew for this and the following
corrections.

Just in case I wasn't clear, by 'a definite yes', I mean you're
absolutely right - it should be NOFREEZE.

Okay.. how does this look?

I applied your changes and fixed a couple of typos I noticed. I also
added support for the hcvs thread, which is new since rc1-mm1. (This is
against rc2-mm1).

I'm still suffering from the NIC-won't-come-out-from-S3 (I need to
unplug my CardBus NIC, then plug it again after resuming from S3) when
applying this patch against 2.6.8-rc2-mm1... I'll keep reverting every
hunk of the patch till I find the culprit.

pktcdvd devices are standard writable block devices, so you can use
them for anything you want, including swapping.

> Well, swapon /dev/pktdvd would be *very* bad idea as optical drives

Agreed. Seek times before writes are in the range of 500-1000ms on my
drives. This will probably make your machine unresponsive for a *very*
long time when you start to swap to an optical disc.

It should work though, unless you wear out your disc before it's done
swapping, in which case nasty things will probably happen. I don't
think I/O errors on a swap device can be handled in a sane way by the
kernel.

Yes. What about this code in the main loop in kcdrwd?

			/* make swsusp happy with our thread */
			if (current->flags & PF_FREEZE)
				refrigerator(PF_FREEZE);

Should it still be there when the task is marked as PF_NOFREEZE?

No, it's not needed if the thread is NOFREEZE.
