2017-07-12writeback: rework wb_[dec|inc]_stat family of functionsNikolay Borisov
Currently the writeback statistics code uses a percpu counters to hold various statistics. Furthermore we have 2 families of functions - those which disable local irq and those which doesn't and whose names begin with double underscore. However, they both end up calling __add_wb_stats which in turn calls percpu_counter_add_batch which is already irq-safe. Exploiting this fact allows to eliminated the __wb_* functions since they don't add any further protection than we already have. Furthermore, refactor the wb_* function to call __add_wb_stat directly without the irq-disabling dance. This will likely result in better runtime of code which deals with modifying the stat counters. While at it also document why percpu_counter_add_batch is in fact preempt and irq-safe since at least 3 people got confused.

2017-06-20percpu_counter: Rename __percpu_counter_add to percpu_counter_add_batchNikolay Borisov
Currently, percpu_counter_add is a wrapper around __percpu_counter_add which is preempt safe due to explicit calls to preempt_disable. Given how __ prefix is used in percpu related interfaces, the naming unfortunately creates the false sense that __percpu_counter_add is less safe than percpu_counter_add. In terms of context-safety, they're equivalent. The only difference is that the __ version takes a batch parameter. Make this a bit more explicit by just renaming __percpu_counter_add to percpu_counter_add_batch. This patch doesn't cause any functional changes. tj: Minor updates to patch description for clarity. Cosmetic indentation updates.

2015-05-29percpu_counter: batch size aware __percpu_counter_compare()Dave Chinner
XFS uses non-stanard batch sizes for avoiding frequent global counter updates on it's allocated inode counters, as they increment or decrement in batches of 64 inodes. Hence the standard percpu counter batch of 32 means that the counter is effectively a global counter. Currently Xfs uses a batch size of 128 so that it doesn't take the global lock on every single modification. However, Xfs also needs to compare accurately against zero, which means we need to use percpu_counter_compare(), and that has a hard-coded batch size of 32, and hence will spuriously fail to detect when it is supposed to use precise comparisons and hence the accounting goes wrong. Add __percpu_counter_compare() to take a custom batch size so we can use it sanely in XFS and factor percpu_counter_compare() to use it.

2014-09-08percpu_counter: add @gfp to percpu_counter_init()Tejun Heo
Percpu allocator now supports allocation mask. Add @gfp to percpu_counter_init() so that !GFP_KERNEL allocation masks can be used with percpu_counters too. We could have left percpu_counter_init() alone and added percpu_counter_init_gfp(); however, the number of users isn't that high and introducing _gfp variants to all percpu data structures would be quite ugly, so let's just do the conversion. This is the one with the most users. Other percpu data structures are a lot easier to convert. This patch doesn't make any functional difference.

2014-04-08lib/percpu_counter.c: fix bad percpu counter state during suspendJens Axboe
I got a bug report yesterday from Laszlo Ersek in which he states that his kvm instance fails to suspend. Laszlo bisected it down to this commit 1cf7e9c68fe8 ("virtio_blk: blk-mq support") where virtio-blk is converted to use the blk-mq infrastructure. After digging a bit, it became clear that the issue was with the queue drain. blk-mq tracks queue usage in a percpu counter, which is incremented on request alloc and decremented when the request is freed. The initial hunt was for an inconsistency in blk-mq, but everything seemed fine. In fact, the counter only returned crazy values when suspend was in progress. When a CPU is unplugged, the percpu counters merges that CPU state with the general state. blk-mq takes care to register a hotcpu notifier with the appropriate priority, so we know it runs after the percpu counter notifier. However, the percpu counter notifier only merges the state when the CPU is fully gone. This leaves a state transition where the CPU going away is no longer in the online mask, yet it still holds private values. This means that in this state, percpu_counter_sum() returns invalid results, and the suspend then hangs waiting for abs(dead-cpu-value) requests to complete which of course will never happen. Fix this by clearing the state earlier, so we never have a case where the CPU isn't in online mask but still holds private state. This bug has been there since forever, I guess we don't have a lot of users where percpu counters needs to be reliable during the suspend cycle.

2014-01-15lib/percpu_counter.c: fix __percpu_counter_add()Ming Lei
__percpu_counter_add() may be called in softirq/hardirq handler (such as, blk_mq_queue_exit() is typically called in hardirq/softirq handler), so we need to call this_cpu_add()(irq safe helper) to update percpu counter, otherwise counts may be lost. This fixes the problem that 'rmmod null_blk' hangs in blk_cleanup_queue() because of miscounting of request_queue->mq_usage_counter. This patch is the v1 of previous one of "lib/percpu_counter.c: disable local irq when updating percpu couter", and takes Andrew's approach which may be more efficient for ARCHs(x86, s390) that have optimized this_cpu_add().

2013-07-14kernel: delete __cpuinit usage from all core kernel filesPaul Gortmaker
The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time") is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created with improper use of the various __init prefixes. After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone, we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h. This removes all the uses of the __cpuinit macros from C files in the core kernel directories (kernel, init, lib, mm, and include) that don't really have a specific maintainer.

2010-10-26percpu_counter: add debugobj supportTejun Heo
All percpu counters are linked to a global list on initialization and removed from it on destruction. The list is walked during CPU up/down. If a percpu counter is freed without being properly destroyed, the system will oops only on the next CPU up/down making it pretty nasty to track down. This patch adds debugobj support for percpu counters so that such problems can be found easily. As percpu counters don't make sense on stack and can't be statically initialized, debugobj support is pretty simple. It's initialized and activated on counter initialization, and deactivatd and destroyed on counter destruction. With this patch applied, the bug fixed by commit 602586a83b719df0fbd94196a1359ed35aeb2df3 (shmem: put_super must percpu_counter_destroy) triggers the following warning on tmpfs unmount and the system won't oops on the next cpu up/down operation. ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: at lib/debugobjects.c:259 debug_print_object+0x5c/0x70() Hardware name: Bochs ODEBUG: free active (active state 0) object type: percpu_counter Modules linked in: Pid: 3999, comm: umount Not tainted 2.6.36-rc2-work+ #5 Call Trace: [<ffffffff81083f7f>] warn_slowpath_common+0x7f/0xc0 [<ffffffff81084076>] warn_slowpath_fmt+0x46/0x50 [<ffffffff813b45cc>] debug_print_object+0x5c/0x70 [<ffffffff813b50e5>] debug_check_no_obj_freed+0x125/0x210 [<ffffffff811577d3>] kfree+0xb3/0x2f0 [<ffffffff81132edd>] shmem_put_super+0x1d/0x30 [<ffffffff81162e96>] generic_shutdown_super+0x56/0xe0 [<ffffffff81162f86>] kill_anon_super+0x16/0x60 [<ffffffff81162ff7>] kill_litter_super+0x27/0x30 [<ffffffff81163295>] deactivate_locked_super+0x45/0x60 [<ffffffff81163cfa>] deactivate_super+0x4a/0x70 [<ffffffff8117d446>] mntput_no_expire+0x86/0xe0 [<ffffffff8117df7f>] sys_umount+0x6f/0x360 [<ffffffff8103f01b>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b ---[ end trace cce2a341ba3611a7 ]--- Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglxlinutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Add percpu_counter_compare that allows for a quick but accurate comparison of percpu_counter with a given value. A rough count is provided by the count field in percpu_counter structure, without accounting for the other values stored in individual cpu counters. The actual count is a sum of count and the cpu counters. However, count field is never different from the actual value by a factor of batch*num_online_cpu. We do not need to get actual count for comparison if count is different from the given value by this factor and allows for quick comparison without summing up all the per cpu counters.

2009-01-06percpu_counter: FBC_BATCH should be a variableEric Dumazet
For NR_CPUS >= 16 values, FBC_BATCH is 2*NR_CPUS Considering more and more distros are using high NR_CPUS values, it makes sense to use a more sensible value for FBC_BATCH, and get rid of NR_CPUS.

Impact: fix lockdep false positives Classify percpu_counter instances similar to regular lock objects -- that is, per instantiation site. The networking code has increased its use of percpu_counters, which leads to false positives if they are treated as a single class.

2008-12-10revert "percpu counter: clean up percpu_counter_sum_and_set()"Andrew Morton
Revert commit 1f7c14c62ce63805f9574664a6c6de3633d4a354 Author: Mingming Cao <cmm@us.ibm.com> Date: Thu Oct 9 12:50:59 2008 -0400 percpu counter: clean up percpu_counter_sum_and_set() Before this patch we had the following: percpu_counter_sum(): return the percpu_counter's value percpu_counter_sum_and_set(): return the percpu_counter's value, copying that value into the central value and zeroing the per-cpu counters before returning. After this patch, percpu_counter_sum_and_set() has gone, and percpu_counter_sum() gets the old percpu_counter_sum_and_set() functionality. Problem is, as Eric points out, the old percpu_counter_sum_and_set() functionality was racy and wrong. It zeroes out counters on "other" cpus, without holding any locks which will prevent races agaist updates from those other CPUS. This patch reverts 1f7c14c62ce63805f9574664a6c6de3633d4a354. This means that percpu_counter_sum_and_set() still has the race, but percpu_counter_sum() does not. Note that this is not a simple revert - ext4 has since started using percpu_counter_sum() for its dirty_blocks counter as well. Note that this revert patch changes percpu_counter_sum() semantics. Before the patch, a call to percpu_counter_sum() will bring the counter's central counter mostly up-to-date, so a following percpu_counter_read() will return a close value. After this patch, a call to percpu_counter_sum() will leave the counter's central accumulator unaltered, so a subsequent call to percpu_counter_read() can now return a significantly inaccurate result. If there is any code in the tree which was introduced after e8ced39d5e8911c662d4d69a342b9d053eaaac4e was merged, and which depends upon the new percpu_counter_sum() semantics, that code will break.

2008-10-09percpu counter: clean up percpu_counter_sum_and_set()Mingming Cao
percpu_counter_sum_and_set() and percpu_counter_sum() is the same except the former updates the global counter after accounting. Since we are taking the fbc->lock to calculate the precise value of the counter in percpu_counter_sum() anyway, it should simply set fbc->count too, as the percpu_counter_sum_and_set() does. This patch merges these two interfaces into one.

2007-07-16percpu_counters(): use cpu notifiersAndrew Morton
per-cpu counters presently must iterate over all possible CPUs in the exhaustive percpu_counter_sum(). But it can be much better to only iterate over the presently-online CPUs. To do this, we must arrange for an offlined CPU's count to be spilled into the counter's central count. We can do this for all percpu_counters in the machine by linking them into a single global list and walking that list at CPU_DEAD time. (I hope. Might have race windows in which the percpu_counter_sum() count is inaccurate?)

2006-06-23[PATCH] percpu counter data type changes to suppport more than 2**31 ext3 ↵Mingming Cao
free blocks counter The percpu counter data type are changed in this set of patches to support more users like ext3 who need more than 32 bit to store the free blocks total in the filesystem. - Generic perpcu counters data type changes. The size of the global counter and local counter were explictly specified using s64 and s32. The global counter is changed from long to s64, while the local counter is changed from long to s32, so we could avoid doing 64 bit update in most cases. - Users of the percpu counters are updated to make use of the new percpu_counter_init() routine now taking an additional parameter to allow users to pass the initial value of the global counter.
