wq: handle VM suspension in stall detection

2021-06-16T10:05:02Z

[ Upstream commit 940d71c6462e8151c78f28e4919aa8882ff2054e ] If VCPU is suspended (VM suspend) in wq_watchdog_timer_fn() then once this VCPU resumes it will see the new jiffies value, while it may take a while before IRQ detects PVCLOCK_GUEST_STOPPED on this VCPU and updates all the watchdogs via pvclock_touch_watchdogs(). There is a small chance of misreported WQ stalls in the meantime, because new jiffies is time_after() old 'ts + thresh'. wq_watchdog_timer_fn() { for_each_pool(pool, pi) { if (time_after(jiffies, ts + thresh)) { pr_emerg("BUG: workqueue lockup - pool"); } } } Save jiffies at the beginning of this function and use that value for stall detection. If VM gets suspended then we continue using "old" jiffies value and old WQ touch timestamps. If IRQ at some point restarts the stall detection cycle (pvclock_touch_watchdogs()) then old jiffies will always be before new 'ts + thresh'.

workqueue/watchdog: Make unbound workqueues aware of touch_softlockup_watchdog()

2021-04-04T17:26:49Z

84;0;0c84;0;0c There are two workqueue-specific watchdog timestamps: + @wq_watchdog_touched_cpu (per-CPU) updated by touch_softlockup_watchdog() + @wq_watchdog_touched (global) updated by touch_all_softlockup_watchdogs() watchdog_timer_fn() checks only the global @wq_watchdog_touched for unbound workqueues. As a result, unbound workqueues are not aware of touch_softlockup_watchdog(). The watchdog might report a stall even when the unbound workqueues are blocked by a known slow code. Solution: touch_softlockup_watchdog() must touch also the global @wq_watchdog_touched timestamp. The global timestamp can no longer be used for bound workqueues because it is now updated from all CPUs. Instead, bound workqueues have to check only @wq_watchdog_touched_cpu and these timestamps have to be updated for all CPUs in touch_all_softlockup_watchdogs(). Beware: The change might cause the opposite problem. An unbound workqueue might get blocked on CPU A because of a real softlockup. The workqueue watchdog would miss it when the timestamp got touched on CPU B. It is acceptable because softlockups are detected by softlockup watchdog. The workqueue watchdog is there to detect stalls where a work never finishes, for example, because of dependencies of works queued into the same workqueue. V3: - Modify the commit message clearly according to Petr's suggestion. Signed-off-by: Wang Qing Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

workqueue: Move the position of debug_work_activate() in __queue_work()

2021-04-04T17:26:46Z

The debug_work_activate() is called on the premise that the work can be inserted, because if wq be in WQ_DRAINING status, insert work may be failed.

workqueue: Restrict affinity change to rescuer

2021-01-22T14:09:43Z

create_worker() will already set the right affinity using kthread_bind_mask(), this means only the rescuer will need to change it's affinity. Howveer, while in cpu-hot-unplug a regular task is not allowed to run on online&&!active as it would be pushed away quite agressively. We need KTHREAD_IS_PER_CPU to survive in that environment. Therefore set the affinity after getting that magic flag.

workqueue: Tag bound workers with KTHREAD_IS_PER_CPU

2021-01-22T14:09:42Z

Mark the per-cpu workqueue workers as KTHREAD_IS_PER_CPU. Workqueues have unfortunate semantics in that per-cpu workers are not default flushed and parked during hotplug, however a subset does manual flush on hotplug and hard relies on them for correctness. Therefore play silly games..

workqueue: Use cpu_possible_mask instead of cpu_active_mask to break affinity

2021-01-22T14:09:41Z

The scheduler won't break affinity for us any more, and we should "emulate" the same behavior when the scheduler breaks affinity for us. The behavior is "changing the cpumask to cpu_possible_mask". And there might be some other CPUs online later while the worker is still running with the pending work items. The worker should be allowed to use the later online CPUs as before and process the work items ASAP. If we use cpu_active_mask here, we can't achieve this goal but using cpu_possible_mask can.
