2017-09-14drm/amdgpu: revert tile table update for olandJean Delvare
Several users have complained that the tile table update broke Oland support. Despite several attempts to fix it, the root cause is still unknown at this point and no solution is available. As it is not acceptable to leave a known regression breaking a major functionality in the kernel for several releases, let's just reverse this optimization for now. It can be implemented again later if and only if the breakage is understood and fixed. As there were no complaints for Hainan so far, only the Oland part of the offending commit is reverted. Optimization is preserved on Hainan, so this commit isn't an actual revert of the original.

2017-09-14sched/wait: Introduce wakeup boomark in wake_up_page_bitTim Chen
Now that we have added breaks in the wait queue scan and allow bookmark on scan position, we put this logic in the wake_up_page_bit function. We can have very long page wait list in large system where multiple pages share the same wait list. We break the wake up walk here to allow other cpus a chance to access the list, and not to disable the interrupts when traversing the list for too long. This reduces the interrupt and rescheduling latency, and excessive page wait queue lock hold time.

2017-09-14sched/wait: Break up long wake list walkTim Chen
We encountered workloads that have very long wake up list on large systems. A waker takes a long time to traverse the entire wake list and execute all the wake functions. We saw page wait list that are up to 3700+ entries long in tests of large 4 and 8 socket systems. It took 0.8 sec to traverse such list during wake up. Any other CPU that contends for the list spin lock will spin for a long time. It is a result of the numa balancing migration of hot pages that are shared by many threads. Multiple CPUs waking are queued up behind the lock, and the last one queued has to wait until all CPUs did all the wakeups. The page wait list is traversed with interrupt disabled, which caused various problems. This was the original cause that triggered the NMI watch dog timer in: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9800303/ . Only extending the NMI watch dog timer there helped. This patch bookmarks the waker's scan position in wake list and break the wake up walk, to allow access to the list before the waker resume its walk down the rest of the wait list. It lowers the interrupt and rescheduling latency. This patch also provides a performance boost when combined with the next patch to break up page wakeup list walk. We saw 22% improvement in the will-it-scale file pread2 test on a Xeon Phi system running 256 threads.

Another horrible mechanism are the open coded park/unpark loops which are used for reconfiguration of the watchdog. The smpboot infrastructure allows exactly the same via smpboot_update_cpumask_thread_percpu(), which is cpu hotplug safe. Using that instead of the open coded loops allows to get rid of the hotplug locking mess in the watchdog code. Implement a clean infrastructure which allows to replace the open coded nonsense.

2017-09-14watchdog/core: Remove the park_in_progress obfuscationThomas Gleixner
Commit: b94f51183b06 ("kernel/watchdog: prevent false hardlockup on overloaded system") tries to fix the following issue: proc_write() set_sample_period() <--- New sample period becoms visible <----- Broken starts proc_watchdog_update() watchdog_enable_all_cpus() watchdog_hrtimer_fn() update_watchdog_all_cpus() restart_timer(sample_period) watchdog_park_threads() thread->park() disable_nmi() <----- Broken ends The reason why this is broken is that the update of the watchdog threshold becomes immediately effective and visible for the hrtimer function which uses that value to rearm the timer. But the NMI/perf side still uses the old value up to the point where it is disabled. If the rate has been lowered then the NMI can run fast enough to 'detect' a hard lockup because the timer has not fired due to the longer period. The patch 'fixed' this by adding a variable: proc_write() set_sample_period() <----- Broken starts proc_watchdog_update() watchdog_enable_all_cpus() watchdog_hrtimer_fn() update_watchdog_all_cpus() restart_timer(sample_period) watchdog_park_threads() park_in_progress = 1 <----- Broken ends nmi_watchdog() if (park_in_progress) return; The only effect of this variable was to make the window where the breakage can hit small enough that it was not longer observable in testing. From a correctness point of view it is a pointless bandaid which merily papers over the root cause: the unsychronized update of the variable. Looking deeper into the related code pathes unearthed similar problems in the watchdog_start()/stop() functions. watchdog_start() perf_nmi_event_start() hrtimer_start() watchdog_stop() hrtimer_cancel() perf_nmi_event_stop() In both cases the call order is wrong because if the tasks gets preempted or the VM gets scheduled out long enough after the first call, then there is a chance that the next NMI will see a stale hrtimer interrupt count and trigger a false positive hard lockup splat. Get rid of park_in_progress so the code can be gradually deobfuscated and pruned from several layers of duct tape papering over the root cause, which has been either ignored or not understood at all. Once this is removed the underlying problem will be fixed by rewriting the proc interface to do a proper synchronized update. Address the start/stop() ordering problem as well by reverting the call order, so this part is at least correct now.

2017-09-14watchdog/hardlockup/perf: Prevent CPU hotplug deadlockThomas Gleixner
The following deadlock is possible in the watchdog hotplug code: cpus_write_lock() ... takedown_cpu() smpboot_park_threads() smpboot_park_thread() kthread_park() ->park() := watchdog_disable() watchdog_nmi_disable() perf_event_release_kernel(); put_event() _free_event() ->destroy() := hw_perf_event_destroy() x86_release_hardware() release_ds_buffers() get_online_cpus() when a per cpu watchdog perf event is destroyed which drops the last reference to the PMU hardware. The cleanup code there invokes get_online_cpus() which instantly deadlocks because the hotplug percpu rwsem is write locked. To solve this add a deferring mechanism: cpus_write_lock() kthread_park() watchdog_nmi_disable(deferred) perf_event_disable(event); move_event_to_deferred(event); .... cpus_write_unlock() cleaup_deferred_events() perf_event_release_kernel() This is still properly serialized against concurrent hotplug via the cpu_add_remove_lock, which is held by the task which initiated the hotplug event. This is also used to handle event destruction when the watchdog threads are parked via other mechanisms than CPU hotplug.

2017-09-14watchdog/hardlockup/perf: Remove broken self disable on failureThomas Gleixner
The self disabling feature is broken vs. CPU hotplug locking: CPU 0 CPU 1 cpus_write_lock(); cpu_up(1) wait_for_completion() .... unpark_watchdog() ->unpark() perf_event_create() <- fails watchdog_enable &= ~NMI_WATCHDOG; .... cpus_write_unlock(); CPU 2 cpus_write_lock() cpu_down(2) wait_for_completion() wakeup(watchdog); watchdog() if (!(watchdog_enable & NMI_WATCHDOG)) watchdog_nmi_disable() perf_event_disable() .... cpus_read_lock(); stop_smpboot_threads() park_watchdog(); wait_for_completion(watchdog->parked); Result: End of hotplug and instantaneous full lockup of the machine. There is a similar problem with disabling the watchdog via the user space interface as the sysctl function fiddles with watchdog_enable directly. It's very debatable whether this is required at all. If the watchdog works nicely on N CPUs and it fails to enable on the N + 1 CPU either during hotplug or because the user space interface disabled it via sysctl cpumask and then some perf user grabbed the counter which is then unavailable for the watchdog when the sysctl cpumask gets changed back. There is no real justification for this. One of the reasons WHY this is done is the utter stupidity of the init code of the perf NMI watchdog. Instead of checking upfront at boot whether PERF is available and functional at all, it just does this check at run time over and over when user space fiddles with the sysctl. That's broken beyond repair along with the idiotic error code dependent warn level printks and the even more silly printk rate limiting. If the init code checks whether perf works at boot time, then this mess can be more or less avoided completely. Perf does not come magically into life at runtime. Brain usage while coding is overrated. Remove the cruft and add a temporary safe guard which gets removed later.

2017-09-13mm: treewide: remove GFP_TEMPORARY allocation flagMichal Hocko
GFP_TEMPORARY was introduced by commit e12ba74d8ff3 ("Group short-lived and reclaimable kernel allocations") along with __GFP_RECLAIMABLE. It's primary motivation was to allow users to tell that an allocation is short lived and so the allocator can try to place such allocations close together and prevent long term fragmentation. As much as this sounds like a reasonable semantic it becomes much less clear when to use the highlevel GFP_TEMPORARY allocation flag. How long is temporary? Can the context holding that memory sleep? Can it take locks? It seems there is no good answer for those questions. The current implementation of GFP_TEMPORARY is basically GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_RECLAIMABLE which in itself is tricky because basically none of the existing caller provide a way to reclaim the allocated memory. So this is rather misleading and hard to evaluate for any benefits. I have checked some random users and none of them has added the flag with a specific justification. I suspect most of them just copied from other existing users and others just thought it might be a good idea to use without any measuring. This suggests that GFP_TEMPORARY just motivates for cargo cult usage without any reasoning. I believe that our gfp flags are quite complex already and especially those with highlevel semantic should be clearly defined to prevent from confusion and abuse. Therefore I propose dropping GFP_TEMPORARY and replace all existing users to simply use GFP_KERNEL. Please note that SLAB users with shrinkers will still get __GFP_RECLAIMABLE heuristic and so they will be placed properly for memory fragmentation prevention. I can see reasons we might want some gfp flag to reflect shorterm allocations but I propose starting from a clear semantic definition and only then add users with proper justification. This was been brought up before LSF this year by Matthew [1] and it turned out that GFP_TEMPORARY really doesn't have a clear semantic. It seems to be a heuristic without any measured advantage for most (if not all) its current users. The follow up discussion has revealed that opinions on what might be temporary allocation differ a lot between developers. So rather than trying to tweak existing users into a semantic which they haven't expected I propose to simply remove the flag and start from scratch if we really need a semantic for short term allocations.
