The comments in kernel/kthread.c create a feeling that only SIGKILL is
able to terminate the creation of kernel kthreads by
kthread_create()/_on_node()/_on_cpu() APIs.
In reality, wait_for_completion_killable() might be killed by any fatal
signal that does not have a custom handler:
(!siginmask(signr, SIG_KERNEL_IGNORE_MASK|SIG_KERNEL_STOP_MASK) && \
(t)->sighand->action[(signr)-1].sa.sa_handler == SIG_DFL)
static inline void signal_wake_up(struct task_struct *t, bool resume)
{
signal_wake_up_state(t, resume ? TASK_WAKEKILL : 0);
}
static void complete_signal(int sig, struct task_struct *p, enum pid_type type)
{
[...]
/*
* Found a killable thread. If the signal will be fatal,
* then start taking the whole group down immediately.
*/
if (sig_fatal(p, sig) ...) {
if (!sig_kernel_coredump(sig)) {
[...]
do {
task_clear_jobctl_pending(t, JOBCTL_PENDING_MASK);
sigaddset(&t->pending.signal, SIGKILL);
signal_wake_up(t, 1);
} while_each_thread(p, t);
return;
}
}
}
Update the comments in kernel/kthread.c to make this more obvious.
The motivation for this change was debugging why a module initialization
failed. The module was being loaded from initrd. It "magically" failed
when systemd was switching to the real root. The clean up operations sent
SIGTERM to various pending processed that were started from initrd.

There are three sets of updates for 5.18 in the asm-generic tree:
- The set_fs()/get_fs() infrastructure gets removed for good. This
was already gone from all major architectures, but now we can
finally remove it everywhere, which loses some particularly
tricky and error-prone code.
There is a small merge conflict against a parisc cleanup, the
solution is to use their new version.
- The nds32 architecture ends its tenure in the Linux kernel. The
hardware is still used and the code is in reasonable shape, but
the mainline port is not actively maintained any more, as all
remaining users are thought to run vendor kernels that would never
be updated to a future release.
There are some obvious conflicts against changes to the removed
files.
- A series from Masahiro Yamada cleans up some of the uapi header
files to pass the compile-time checks.

When I was implementing a new per-cpu kthread cfs_migration, I found the
comm of it "cfs_migration/%u" is truncated due to the limitation of
TASK_COMM_LEN. For example, the comm of the percpu thread on CPU10~19
all have the same name "cfs_migration/1", which will confuse the user.
This issue is not critical, because we can get the corresponding CPU
from the task's Cpus_allowed. But for kthreads corresponding to other
hardware devices, it is not easy to get the detailed device info from
task comm, for example,
jbd2/nvme0n1p2-
xfs-reclaim/sdf
Currently there are so many truncated kthreads:
rcu_tasks_kthre
rcu_tasks_rude_
rcu_tasks_trace
poll_mpt3sas0_s
ext4-rsv-conver
xfs-reclaim/sd{a, b, c, ...}
xfs-blockgc/sd{a, b, c, ...}
xfs-inodegc/sd{a, b, c, ...}
audit_send_repl
ecryptfs-kthrea
vfio-irqfd-clea
jbd2/nvme0n1p2-
...
We can shorten these names to work around this problem, but it may be
not applied to all of the truncated kthreads. Take 'jbd2/nvme0n1p2-'
for example, it is a nice name, and it is not a good idea to shorten it.
One possible way to fix this issue is extending the task comm size, but
as task->comm is used in lots of places, that may cause some potential
buffer overflows. Another more conservative approach is introducing a
new pointer to store kthread's full name if it is truncated, which won't
introduce too much overhead as it is in the non-critical path. Finally
we make a dicision to use the second approach. See also the discussions
in this thread:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20211101060419.4682-1-laoar.shao@gmail.com/

Pull signal/exit/ptrace updates from Eric Biederman:
"This set of changes deletes some dead code, makes a lot of cleanups
which hopefully make the code easier to follow, and fixes bugs found
along the way.
The end-game which I have not yet reached yet is for fatal signals
that generate coredumps to be short-circuit deliverable from
complete_signal, for force_siginfo_to_task not to require changing
userspace configured signal delivery state, and for the ptrace stops
to always happen in locations where we can guarantee on all
architectures that the all of the registers are saved and available on
the stack.
Removal of profile_task_ext, profile_munmap, and profile_handoff_task
are the big successes for dead code removal this round.
A bunch of small bug fixes are included, as most of the issues
reported were small enough that they would not affect bisection so I
simply added the fixes and did not fold the fixes into the changes
they were fixing.
There was a bug that broke coredumps piped to systemd-coredump. I
dropped the change that caused that bug and replaced it entirely with
something much more restrained. Unfortunately that required some
rebasing.
Some successes after this set of changes: There are few enough calls
to do_exit to audit in a reasonable amount of time. The lifetime of
struct kthread now matches the lifetime of struct task, and the
pointer to struct kthread is no longer stored in set_child_tid. The
flag SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP is removed. The field group_exit_task is
removed. Issues where task->exit_code was examined with
signal->group_exit_code should been examined were fixed.
There are several loosely related changes included because I am
cleaning up and if I don't include them they will probably get lost.

The point of using set_child_tid to hold the kthread pointer was that
it already did what is necessary. There are now restrictions on when
set_child_tid can be initialized and when set_child_tid can be used in
schedule_tail. Which indicates that continuing to use set_child_tid
to hold the kthread pointer is a bad idea.
Instead of continuing to use the set_child_tid field of task_struct
generalize the pf_io_worker field of task_struct and use it to hold
the kthread pointer.
Rename pf_io_worker (which is a void * pointer) to worker_private so
it can be used to store kthreads struct kthread pointer. Update the
kthread code to store the kthread pointer in the worker_private field.
Remove the places where set_child_tid had to be dealt with carefully
because kthreads also used it.

The exit code of kernel threads has different semantics than the

Today the rules are a bit iffy and arbitrary about which kernel
threads have struct kthread present. Both idle threads and thread
started with create_kthread want struct kthread present so that is
effectively all kernel threads. Make the rule that if PF_KTHREAD
and the task is running then struct kthread is present.
This will allow the kernel thread code to using tsk->exit_code
with different semantics from ordinary processes.
To make ensure that struct kthread is present for all
kernel threads move it's allocation into copy_process.
Add a deallocation of struct kthread in exec for processes
that were kernel threads.
Move the allocation of struct kthread for the initial thread
earlier so that it is not repeated for each additional idle
thread.
Move the initialization of struct kthread into set_kthread_struct
so that the structure is always and reliably initailized.
Clear set_child_tid in free_kthread_struct to ensure the kthread
struct is reliably freed during exec. The function
free_kthread_struct does not need to clear vfork_done during exec as
exec_mm_release called from exec_mmap has already cleared vfork_done.

Update complete_and_exit to call kthread_exit instead of do_exit.
Change the name to reflect this change in functionality. All of the
users of complete_and_exit are causing the current kthread to exit so
this change makes it clear what is happening.
Move the implementation of kthread_complete_and_exit from
kernel/exit.c to to kernel/kthread.c. As this function is kthread
specific it makes most sense to live with the kthread functions.
There are no functional change.

The way the per task_struct exit_code is used by kernel threads is not
quite compatible how it is used by userspace applications. The low
byte of the userspace exit_code value encodes the exit signal. While
kthreads just use the value as an int holding ordinary kernel function
exit status like -EPERM.
Add kthread_exit to clearly separate the two kinds of uses.

Pull exit cleanups from Eric Biederman:
"While looking at some issues related to the exit path in the kernel I
found several instances where the code is not using the existing
abstractions properly.
This set of changes introduces force_fatal_sig a way of sending a
signal and not allowing it to be caught, and corrects the misuse of
the existing abstractions that I found.
A lot of the misuse of the existing abstractions are silly things such
as doing something after calling a no return function, rolling BUG by
hand, doing more work than necessary to terminate a kernel thread, or
calling do_exit(SIGKILL) instead of calling force_sig(SIGKILL).
In the review a deficiency in force_fatal_sig and force_sig_seccomp
where ptrace or sigaction could prevent the delivery of the signal was
found. I have added a change that adds SA_IMMUTABLE to change that
makes it impossible to interrupt the delivery of those signals, and
allows backporting to fix force_sig_seccomp
And Arnd found an issue where a function passed to kthread_run had the
wrong prototype, and after my cleanup was failing to build."

call. The function lets the other operation win when it sees
work->canceling counter set. And it returns @false.
But it should return @true as it is done by the related workqueue API, see
mod_delayed_work_on().
The reason is that the return value might be used for reference counting.
It has to distinguish the case when the number of queued works has changed
or stayed the same.
The change is safe. kthread_mod_delayed_work() return value is not
checked anywhere at the moment.

It is caused by the following race between kthread_mod_delayed_work()

Context: IRQ
kthread_delayed_work_timer_fn()
spin_lock()
list_del_init(&work->node);
spin_unlock()
BANG: flush_work is not longer linked and will never get proceed.
The problem is that kthread_mod_delayed_work() checks work->canceling
flag before canceling the timer.
A simple solution is to (re)check work->canceling after
__kthread_cancel_work(). But then it is not clear what should be
returned when __kthread_cancel_work() removed the work from the queue
(list) and it can't queue it again with the new @delay.
The return value might be used for reference counting. The caller has
to know whether a new work has been queued or an existing one was
replaced.
The proper solution is that kthread_mod_delayed_work() will remove the
work from the queue (list) _only_ when work->canceling is not set. The
flag must be checked after the timer is stopped and the remaining
operations can be done under worker->lock.
Note that kthread_mod_delayed_work() could remove the timer and then
bail out. It is fine. The other canceling caller needs to cancel the
timer as well. The important thing is that the queue (list)
manipulation is done atomically under worker->lock.

For all intents and purposes, the idle task is a per-CPU kthread. It isn't
created via the same route as other pcpu kthreads however, and as a result
it is missing a few bells and whistles: it fails kthread_is_per_cpu() and
it doesn't have PF_NO_SETAFFINITY set.
Fix the former by giving the idle task a kthread struct along with the
KTHREAD_IS_PER_CPU flag. This requires some extra iffery as init_idle()
call be called more than once on the same idle task.

The kthread_is_per_cpu() construct relies on only being called on
PF_KTHREAD tasks (per the WARN in to_kthread). This gives rise to the
following usage pattern:
if ((p->flags & PF_KTHREAD) && kthread_is_per_cpu(p))
However, as reported by syzcaller, this is broken. The scenario is:
CPU0 CPU1 (running p)
(p->flags & PF_KTHREAD) // true
begin_new_exec()
me->flags &= ~(PF_KTHREAD|...);
kthread_is_per_cpu(p)
to_kthread(p)
WARN(!(p->flags & PF_KTHREAD) <-- *SPLAT*
Introduce __to_kthread() that omits the WARN and is sure to check both
values.
Use this to remove the problematic pattern for kthread_is_per_cpu()
and fix a number of other kthread_*() functions that have similar
issues but are currently not used in ways that would expose the
problem.
Notably kthread_func() is only ever called on 'current', while
kthread_probe_data() is only used for PF_WQ_WORKER, which implies the
task is from kthread_create*().

There is a need to distinguish geniune per-cpu kthreads from kthreads
that happen to have a single CPU affinity.
Geniune per-cpu kthreads are kthreads that are CPU affine for
correctness, these will obviously have PF_KTHREAD set, but must also
have PF_NO_SETAFFINITY set, lest userspace modify their affinity and
ruins things.
However, these two things are not sufficient, PF_NO_SETAFFINITY is
also set on other tasks that have their affinities controlled through
other means, like for instance workqueues.
Therefore another bit is needed; it turns out kthread_create_per_cpu()
already has such a bit: KTHREAD_IS_PER_CPU, which is used to make
kthread_park()/kthread_unpark() work correctly.
Expose this flag and remove the implicit setting of it from
kthread_create_on_cpu(); the io_uring usage of it seems dubious at
best.

The kthread worker API is simple. In short, it allows to create, use, and
destroy workers. kthread_create_worker_on_cpu() just allows to bind a
newly created worker to a given CPU.
It is up to the API user how to handle CPU hotplug. They have to decide
how to handle pending work items, prevent queuing new ones, and restore
the functionality when the CPU goes off and on. There are few catches:
+ The CPU affinity gets lost when it is scheduled on an offline CPU.
+ The worker might not exist when the CPU was off when the user
created the workers.
A good practice is to implement two CPU hotplug callbacks and
destroy/create the worker when CPU goes down/up.
Mention this in the function description.

Add comments and memory barrier to kthread_use_mm and kthread_unuse_mm
to allow the effect of membarrier(2) to apply to kthreads accessing
user-space memory as well.
Given that no prior kthread use this guarantee and that it only affects
kthreads, adding this guarantee does not affect user-space ABI.
Refine the check in membarrier_global_expedited to exclude runqueues
running the idle thread rather than all kthreads from the IPI cpumask.
Now that membarrier_global_expedited can IPI kthreads, the scheduler
also needs to update the runqueue's membarrier_state when entering lazy
TLB state.

For SMP systems using IPI based TLB invalidation, looking at
current->active_mm is entirely reasonable. This then presents the
following race condition:
CPU0 CPU1
flush_tlb_mm(mm) use_mm(mm)
<send-IPI>
tsk->active_mm = mm;
<IPI>
if (tsk->active_mm == mm)
// flush TLBs
</IPI>
switch_mm(old_mm,mm,tsk);
Where it is possible the IPI flushed the TLBs for @old_mm, not @mm,
because the IPI lands before we actually switched.
Avoid this by disabling IRQs across changing ->active_mm and
switch_mm().
Of the (SMP) architectures that have IPI based TLB invalidate:
Alpha - checks active_mm
ARC - ASID specific
IA64 - checks active_mm
MIPS - ASID specific flush
OpenRISC - shoots down world
PARISC - shoots down world
SH - ASID specific
SPARC - ASID specific
x86 - N/A
xtensa - checks active_mm
So at the very least Alpha, IA64 and Xtensa are suspect.
On top of this, for scheduler consistency we need at least preemption
disabled across changing tsk->mm and doing switch_mm(), which is
currently provided by task_lock(), but that's not sufficient for
PREEMPT_RT.

This is a kernel enhancement that configures the cpu affinity of kernel
threads via kernel boot option nohz_full=.
When this option is specified, the cpumask is immediately applied upon
kthread launch. This does not affect kernel threads that specify cpu
and node.
This allows CPU isolation (that is not allowing certain threads
to execute on certain CPUs) without using the isolcpus=domain parameter,
making it possible to enable load balancing on such CPUs
during runtime (see kernel-parameters.txt).
Note-1: this is based off on Wind River's patch at
https://github.com/starlingx-staging/stx-integ/blob/master/kernel/kernel-std/centos/patches/affine-compute-kernel-threads.patch
Difference being that this patch is limited to modifying kernel thread
cpumask. Behaviour of other threads can be controlled via cgroups or
sched_setaffinity.
Note-2: Wind River's patch was based off Christoph Lameter's patch at
https://lwn.net/Articles/565932/ with the only difference being
the kernel parameter changed from kthread to kthread_cpus.

Next patch will switch unbound kernel threads mask to
housekeeping_cpumask(), a subset of cpu_possible_mask. So in order to
ease bisection, lets first switch kthreads default affinity from
cpu_all_mask to cpu_possible_mask.
It looks safe to do so as cpu_possible_mask seem to be initialized
at setup_arch() time, way before kthreadd is created.

kcov: check kcov_softirq in kcov_remote_stop()
scripts/spelling: add a few more typos
khugepaged: selftests: fix timeout condition in wait_for_scan()
Some architectures like arm64 and s390 require USER_DS to be set for
kernel threads to access user address space, which is the whole purpose of
kthread_use_mm, but other like x86 don't. That has lead to a huge mess
where some callers are fixed up once they are tested on said
architectures, while others linger around and yet other like io_uring try
to do "clever" optimizations for what usually is just a trivial asignment
to a member in the thread_struct for most architectures.
Make kthread_use_mm set USER_DS, and kthread_unuse_mm restore to the
previous value instead.

It's handy to keep the kthread_fn just as a unique cookie to identify
classes of kthreads. E.g. if you can verify that a given task is
running your thread_fn, then you may know what sort of type kthread_data
points to.
We'll use this in nfsd to pass some information into the vfs. Note it
will need kthread_data() exported too.

when we create a kthread with ktrhead_create_on_cpu(),the child thread
entry is ktread.c:ktrhead() which will be preempted by the parent after
call complete(done) while schedule() is not called yet,then the parent
will call wait_task_inactive(child) but the child is still on the runqueue,
so the parent will schedule_hrtimeout() for 1 jiffy,it will waste a lot of
time,especially on startup.
parent child
ktrhead_create_on_cpu()
wait_fo_completion(&done) -----> ktread.c:ktrhead()
|----- complete(done);--wakeup and preempted by parent
kthread_bind() <------------| |-> schedule();--dequeue here
wait_task_inactive(child) |
schedule_hrtimeout(1 jiffy) -|
So we hope the child just wakeup parent but not preempted by parent, and the
child is going to call schedule() soon,then the parent will not call
schedule_hrtimeout(1 jiffy) as the child is already dequeue.
The same issue for ktrhead_park()&&kthread_parkme().

Patch series "Replace all open encodings for NUMA_NO_NODE", v3.
All these places for replacement were found by running the following
grep patterns on the entire kernel code. Please let me know if this
might have missed some instances. This might also have replaced some
false positives. I will appreciate suggestions, inputs and review.
1. git grep "nid == -1"
2. git grep "node == -1"
3. git grep "nid = -1"
4. git grep "node = -1"
This patch (of 2):
At present there are multiple places where invalid node number is
encoded as -1. Even though implicitly understood it is always better to
have macros in there. Replace these open encodings for an invalid node
number with the global macro NUMA_NO_NODE. This helps remove NUMA
related assumptions like 'invalid node' from various places redirecting

The TIMER_IRQSAFE usage was introduced in commit 22597dc3d9 ("kthread:
initial support for delayed kthread work") which modelled the delayed
kthread code after workqueue's code. The workqueue code requires the flag
TIMER_IRQSAFE for synchronisation purpose. This is not true for kthread's
delay timer since all operations occur under a lock.
Remove TIMER_IRQSAFE from the timer initialisation and use timer_setup()
for initialisation purpose which is the official function.

In order to enable the queuing of kthread work items from hardirq context
even when PREEMPT_RT_FULL is enabled, convert the worker spin_lock to a
raw_spin_lock.
This is only acceptable to do because the work performed under the lock is

kthread_should_park() is used to check if the calling kthread ('current')
should park, but there is no function to check whether an arbitrary kthread
should be parked. The latter is required to plug a CPU hotplug race vs. a
parking ksoftirqd thread.
The new __kthread_should_park() receives a task_struct as parameter to
check if the corresponding kernel thread should be parked.
Call __kthread_should_park() from kthread_should_park() to avoid code
duplication.

There is a window for racing when printing directly to task->comm,
allowing other threads to see a non-terminated string. The vsnprintf

writes the \0 at the end.

vsnprintf:
fill (not terminated)
count the rest trace_sched_waking(p):
... memcpy(comm, p->comm, TASK_COMM_LEN)
write \0
The consequences depend on how 'other' uses the string. In our case,
it was copied into the tracing system's saved cmdlines, a buffer of
adjacent TASK_COMM_LEN-byte buffers (note the 'n' where 0 should be):
crash-arm64> x/1024s savedcmd->saved_cmdlines | grep 'evenk'

The workaround in e09e28671 (use strlcpy in __trace_find_cmdline) was
likely needed because of this same bug.
Solved by vsnprintf:ing to a local buffer, then using set_task_comm().
This way, there won't be a window where comm is not terminated.

Oleg explains the reason we could hit park+park is that
smpboot_update_cpumask_percpu_thread()'s
for_each_cpu_and(cpu, &tmp, cpu_online_mask)
smpboot_park_kthread();
turns into:
for ((cpu) = 0; (cpu) < 1; (cpu)++, (void)mask, (void)and)
smpboot_park_kthread();
on UP, ignoring the mask. But since we just completely removed that
function, this is no longer relevant.

Furthermore, Oleg noticed that the whole scheduler TASK_PARKED
handling is buggered because the TASK_DEAD thing is done with
preemption disabled, the current code can still complete early on
preemption :/
So basically revert that earlier fix and go with a variant of the
alternative mentioned in the commit. Promote TASK_PARKED to special
state to avoid the store-store issue on task->state leading to the
WARN in kthread_unpark() -> __kthread_bind().
But in addition, add wait_task_inactive() to kthread_park() to ensure
the task really is PARKED when we return from kthread_park(). This
avoids the whole kthread still gets migrated nonsense -- although it
would be really good to get this done differently.

The following commit:
85f1abe001 ("kthread, sched/wait: Fix kthread_parkme() completion issue")
added a WARN() in the case where we call kthread_park() on an already
parked thread, because the old code wasn't doing the right thing there
and it wasn't at all clear that would happen.
It turns out, this does in fact happen, so we have to deal with it.
Instead of potentially returning early, also wait for the completion.
This does however mean we have to use complete_all() and re-initialize
the completion on re-use.

Even with the wait-loop fixed, there is a further issue with
kthread_parkme(). Upon hotplug, when we do takedown_cpu(),
smpboot_park_threads() can return before all those threads are in fact
blocked, due to the placement of the complete() in __kthread_parkme().
When that happens, sched_cpu_dying() -> migrate_tasks() can end up
migrating such a still runnable task onto another CPU.
Normally the task will have hit schedule() and gone to sleep by the
time we do kthread_unpark(), which will then do __kthread_bind() to
re-bind the task to the correct CPU.
However, when we loose the initial TASK_PARKED store to the concurrent
wakeup issue described previously, do the complete(), get migrated, it
is possible to either:
- observe kthread_unpark()'s clearing of SHOULD_PARK and terminate
the park and set TASK_RUNNING, or
- __kthread_bind()'s wait_task_inactive() to observe the competing
TASK_RUNNING store.
Either way the WARN() in __kthread_bind() will trigger and fail to
correctly set the CPU affinity.
Fix this by only issuing the complete() when the kthread has scheduled
out. This does away with all the icky 'still running' nonsense.
The alternative is to promote TASK_PARKED to a special state, this
guarantees wait_task_inactive() cannot observe a 'stale' TASK_RUNNING
and we'll end up doing the right thing, but this preserves the whole
icky business of potentially migating the still runnable thing.

Gaurav reported a problem with __kthread_parkme() where a concurrent
try_to_wake_up() could result in competing stores to ->state which,
when the TASK_PARKED store got lost bad things would happen.
The comment near set_current_state() actually mentions this competing
store, but only mentions the case against TASK_RUNNING. This same
store, with different timing, can happen against a subsequent !RUNNING
store.
This normally is not a problem, because as per that same comment, the
!RUNNING state store is inside a condition based wait-loop:
for (;;) {
set_current_state(TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE);
if (!need_sleep)
break;
schedule();
}
__set_current_state(TASK_RUNNING);
If we loose the (first) TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE store to a previous
(concurrent) wakeup, the schedule() will NO-OP and we'll go around the
loop once more.
The problem here is that the TASK_PARKED store is not inside the
KTHREAD_SHOULD_PARK condition wait-loop.
There is a genuine issue with sleeps that do not have a condition;
this is addressed in a subsequent patch.

kthread() could bail out early before we initialize blkcg_css (if the
kthread is killed very early. Please see xchg() statement in kthread()),
which confuses free_kthread_struct. Instead of moving the blkcg_css

charged to cgroup of original threads. But the jobs run in a kthread,
where we lose the cgroup context of original threads. The patch adds a
machanism to record cgroup info of original threads in kthread context.
Later we can retrieve the cgroup info and attach the cgroup info to jobs.
Since this mechanism is only required by kthread, we store the cgroup
info in kthread data instead of generic task_struct.

Creation of a kthread goes through a couple interlocked stages between
the kthread itself and its creator. Once the new kthread starts
running, it initializes itself and wakes up the creator. The creator
then can further configure the kthread and then let it start doing its
job by waking it up.
In this configuration-by-creator stage, the creator is the only one
that can wake it up but the kthread is visible to userland. When
altering the kthread's attributes from userland is allowed, this is
fine; however, for cases where CPU affinity is critical,
kthread_bind() is used to first disable affinity changes from userland
and then set the affinity. This also prevents the kthread from being
migrated into non-root cgroups as that can affect the CPU affinity and
many other things.
Unfortunately, the cgroup side of protection is racy. While the
PF_NO_SETAFFINITY flag prevents further migrations, userland can win
the race before the creator sets the flag with kthread_bind() and put
the kthread in a non-root cgroup, which can lead to all sorts of
problems including incorrect CPU affinity and starvation.
This bug got triggered by userland which periodically tries to migrate
all processes in the root cpuset cgroup to a non-root one. Per-cpu
workqueue workers got caught while being created and ended up with
incorrected CPU affinity breaking concurrency management and sometimes
stalling workqueue execution.
This patch adds task->no_cgroup_migration which disallows the task to
be migrated by userland. kthreadd starts with the flag set making
every child kthread start in the root cgroup with migration
disallowed. The flag is cleared after the kthread finishes
initialization by which time PF_NO_SETAFFINITY is set if the kthread
should stay in the root cgroup.
It'd be better to wait for the initialization instead of failing but I
couldn't think of a way of implementing that without adding either a
new PF flag, or sleeping and retrying from waiting side. Even if
userland depends on changing cgroup membership of a kthread, it either
has to be synchronized with kthread_create() or periodically repeat,
so it's unlikely that this would break anything.

When commit fbae2d44aa ("kthread: add kthread_create_worker*()")
introduced some kthread_create_...() functions which were taking
printf-like parametter, it introduced __printf attributes to some
functions (e.g. kthread_create_worker()). Nevertheless some new
functions were forgotten (they have been detected thanks to
-Wmissing-format-attribute warning flag).
Add the missing __printf attributes to the newly-introduced functions in
order to detect formatting issues at build-time with -Wformat flag.

kthread_create_on_cpu() sets KTHREAD_IS_PER_CPU and kthread->cpu, this
only makes sense if this kthread can be parked/unparked by cpuhp code.
kthread workers never call kthread_parkme() so this has no effect.
Change __kthread_create_worker() to simply call kthread_bind(task, cpu).
The very fact that kthread_create_on_cpu() doesn't accept a generic fmt
shows that it should not be used outside of smpboot.c.
Now, the only reason we can not unexport this helper and move it into
smpboot.c is that it sets kthread->cpu and struct kthread is not exported.
And the only reason we can not kill kthread->cpu is that kthread_unpark()
is used by drivers/gpu/drm/amd/scheduler/gpu_scheduler.c and thus we can
not turn _unpark into kthread_unpark(struct smp_hotplug_thread *, cpu).

Now that to_kthread() is always validm change kthread_park() and
kthread_unpark() to use it and kill to_live_kthread().
The conversion of kthread_unpark() is trivial. If KTHREAD_IS_PARKED is set
then the task has called complete(&self->parked) and there the function
cannot race against a concurrent kthread_stop() and exit.
kthread_park() is more tricky, because its semantics are not well
defined. It returns -ENOSYS if the thread exited but this can never happen
and as Roman pointed out kthread_park() can obviously block forever if it
would race with the exiting kthread.
The usage of kthread_park() in cpuhp code (cpu.c, smpboot.c, stop_machine.c)
is fine. It can never see an exiting/exited kthread, smpboot_destroy_threads()
clears *ht->store, smpboot_park_thread() checks it is not NULL under the same
smpboot_threads_lock. cpuhp_threads and cpu_stop_threads never exit, so other
callers are fine too.
But it has two more users:
- watchdog_park_threads():
The code is actually correct, get_online_cpus() ensures that
kthread_park() can't race with itself (note that kthread_park() can't
handle this race correctly), but it should not use kthread_park()
directly.
- drivers/gpu/drm/amd/scheduler/gpu_scheduler.c should not use
kthread_park() either.
kthread_park() must not be called after amd_sched_fini() which does
kthread_stop(), otherwise even to_live_kthread() is not safe because
task_struct can be already freed and sched->thread can point to nowhere.
The usage of kthread_park/unpark should either be restricted to core code
which is properly protected against the exit race or made more robust so it
is safe to use it in drivers.
To catch eventual exit issues, add a WARN_ON(PF_EXITING) for now.

kthread_stop() had to use to_live_kthread() simply because it was not
possible to access kthread->exited after the exiting task clears
task_struct->vfork_done. Now that to_kthread() is always valid,
wake_up_process() + wait_for_completion() can be done
ununconditionally. It's not an issue anymore if the task has already issued
complete_vfork_done() or died.
The exiting task can get the spurious wakeup after mm_release() but this is
possible without this change too and is fine; do_task_dead() ensures that
this can't make any harm.
As a further enhancement this could be converted to task_work_add() later,
so ->vfork_done can be avoided completely.

commit 23196f2e5f "kthread: Pin the stack via try_get_task_stack() /
put_task_stack() in to_live_kthread() function" is a workaround for the
fragile design of struct kthread being allocated on the task stack.
struct kthread in its current form should be removed, but this needs
cleanups outside of kthread.c.
As a first step move struct kthread away from the task stack by making it
kmalloc'ed. This allows to access kthread.exited without the magic of
trying to pin task stack and the try logic in to_live_kthread().

This patch allows to make kthread worker freezable via a new @flags
parameter. It will allow to avoid an init work in some kthreads.
It currently does not affect the function of kthread_worker_fn()
but it might help to do some optimization or fixes eventually.
I currently do not know about any other use for the @flags
parameter but I believe that we will want more flags
in the future.
Finally, I hope that it will not cause confusion with @flags member
in struct kthread. Well, I guess that we will want to rework the
basic kthreads implementation once all kthreads are converted into
kthread workers or workqueues. It is possible that we will merge
the two structures.

There are situations when we need to modify the delay of a delayed kthread
work. For example, when the work depends on an event and the initial delay
means a timeout. Then we want to queue the work immediately when the event
happens.
This patch implements kthread_mod_delayed_work() as inspired workqueues.
It cancels the timer, removes the work from any worker list and queues it
again with the given timeout.
A very special case is when the work is being canceled at the same time.
It might happen because of the regular kthread_cancel_delayed_work_sync()
or by another kthread_mod_delayed_work(). In this case, we do nothing and
let the other operation win. This should not normally happen as the caller
is supposed to synchronize these operations a reasonable way.

We are going to use kthread workers more widely and sometimes we will need
to make sure that the work is neither pending nor running.
This patch implements cancel_*_sync() operations as inspired by
workqueues. Well, we are synchronized against the other operations via
the worker lock, we use del_timer_sync() and a counter to count parallel
cancel operations. Therefore the implementation might be easier.
First, we check if a worker is assigned. If not, the work has newer been
queued after it was initialized.
Second, we take the worker lock. It must be the right one. The work must
not be assigned to another worker unless it is initialized in between.
Third, we try to cancel the timer when it exists. The timer is deleted
synchronously to make sure that the timer call back is not running. We
need to temporary release the worker->lock to avoid a possible deadlock
with the callback. In the meantime, we set work->canceling counter to
avoid any queuing.
Fourth, we try to remove the work from a worker list. It might be
the list of either normal or delayed works.
Fifth, if the work is running, we call kthread_flush_work(). It might
take an arbitrary time. We need to release the worker-lock again. In the
meantime, we again block any queuing by the canceling counter.
As already mentioned, the check for a pending kthread work is done under a
lock. In compare with workqueues, we do not need to fight for a single
PENDING bit to block other operations. Therefore we do not suffer from
the thundering storm problem and all parallel canceling jobs might use
kthread_flush_work(). Any queuing is blocked until the counter gets zero.

We are going to use kthread_worker more widely and delayed works
will be pretty useful.
The implementation is inspired by workqueues. It uses a timer to queue
the work after the requested delay. If the delay is zero, the work is
queued immediately.
In compare with workqueues, each work is associated with a single worker
(kthread). Therefore the implementation could be much easier. In
particular, we use the worker->lock to synchronize all the operations with
the work. We do not need any atomic operation with a flags variable.
In fact, we do not need any state variable at all. Instead, we add a list
of delayed works into the worker. Then the pending work is listed either
in the list of queued or delayed works. And the existing check of pending
works is the same even for the delayed ones.
A work must not be assigned to another worker unless reinitialized.
Therefore the timer handler might expect that dwork->work->worker is valid
and it could simply take the lock. We just add some sanity checks to help
with debugging a potential misuse.

Nothing currently prevents a work from queuing for a kthread worker when
it is already running on another one. This means that the work might run
in parallel on more than one worker. Also some operations are not
reliable, e.g. flush.
This problem will be even more visible after we add kthread_cancel_work()
function. It will only have "work" as the parameter and will use
worker->lock to synchronize with others.
Well, normally this is not a problem because the API users are sane.
But bugs might happen and users also might be crazy.
This patch adds a warning when we try to insert the work for another
worker. It does not fully prevent the misuse because it would make the
code much more complicated without a big benefit.
It adds the same warning also into kthread_flush_work() instead of the
repeated attempts to get the right lock.
A side effect is that one needs to explicitly reinitialize the work if it
must be queued into another worker. This is needed, for example, when the
worker is stopped and started again. It is a bit inconvenient. But it
looks like a good compromise between the stability and complexity.
I have double checked all existing users of the kthread worker API and
they all seems to initialize the work after the worker gets started.
Just for completeness, the patch adds a check that the work is not already
in a queue.
The patch also puts all the checks into a separate function. It will be
reused when implementing delayed works.

Kthread workers are currently created using the classic kthread API,
namely kthread_run(). kthread_worker_fn() is passed as the @threadfn
parameter.
This patch defines kthread_create_worker() and
kthread_create_worker_on_cpu() functions that hide implementation details.
They enforce using kthread_worker_fn() for the main thread. But I doubt
that there are any plans to create any alternative. In fact, I think that
we do not want any alternative main thread because it would be hard to
support consistency with the rest of the kthread worker API.
The naming and function of kthread_create_worker() is inspired by the
workqueues API like the rest of the kthread worker API.
The kthread_create_worker_on_cpu() variant is motivated by the original
kthread_create_on_cpu(). Note that we need to bind per-CPU kthread
workers already when they are created. It makes the life easier.
kthread_bind() could not be used later for an already running worker.
This patch does _not_ convert existing kthread workers. The kthread
worker API need more improvements first, e.g. a function to destroy the
worker.
IMPORTANT:
kthread_create_worker_on_cpu() allows to use any format of the worker
name, in compare with kthread_create_on_cpu(). The good thing is that it
is more generic. The bad thing is that most users will need to pass the
cpu number in two parameters, e.g. kthread_create_worker_on_cpu(cpu,
"helper/%d", cpu).
To be honest, the main motivation was to avoid the need for an empty
va_list. The only legal way was to create a helper function that would be
called with an empty list. Other attempts caused compilation warnings or
even errors on different architectures.
There were also other alternatives, for example, using #define or
splitting __kthread_create_worker(). The used solution looked like the
least ugly.

kthread_create_on_cpu() was added by the commit 2a1d446019
("kthread: Implement park/unpark facility"). It is currently used only
when enabling new CPU. For this purpose, the newly created kthread has to
be parked.
The CPU binding is a bit tricky. The kthread is parked when the CPU has
not been allowed yet. And the CPU is bound when the kthread is unparked.
The function would be useful for more per-CPU kthreads, e.g.
bnx2fc_thread, fcoethread. For this purpose, the newly created kthread
should stay in the uninterruptible state.
This patch moves the parking into smpboot. It binds the thread already
when created. Then the function might be used universally. Also the
behavior is consistent with kthread_create() and kthread_create_on_node().

A good practice is to prefix the names of functions by the name
of the subsystem.
The kthread worker API is a mix of classic kthreads and workqueues. Each
worker has a dedicated kthread. It runs a generic function that process
queued works. It is implemented as part of the kthread subsystem.
This patch renames the existing kthread worker API to use
the corresponding name from the workqueues API prefixed by
kthread_:
__init_kthread_worker() -> __kthread_init_worker()
init_kthread_worker() -> kthread_init_worker()
init_kthread_work() -> kthread_init_work()
insert_kthread_work() -> kthread_insert_work()
queue_kthread_work() -> kthread_queue_work()
flush_kthread_work() -> kthread_flush_work()
flush_kthread_worker() -> kthread_flush_worker()
Note that the names of DEFINE_KTHREAD_WORK*() macros stay
as they are. It is common that the "DEFINE_" prefix has
precedence over the subsystem names.
Note that INIT() macros and init() functions use different
naming scheme. There is no good solution. There are several
reasons for this solution:
+ "init" in the function names stands for the verb "initialize"
aka "initialize worker". While "INIT" in the macro names
stands for the noun "INITIALIZER" aka "worker initializer".
+ INIT() macros are used only in DEFINE() macros
+ init() functions are used close to the other kthread()
functions. It looks much better if all the functions
use the same scheme.
+ There will be also kthread_destroy_worker() that will
be used close to kthread_cancel_work(). It is related
to the init() function. Again it looks better if all
functions use the same naming scheme.
+ there are several precedents for such init() function
names, e.g. amd_iommu_init_device(), free_area_init_node(),
jump_label_init_type(), regmap_init_mmio_clk(),
+ It is not an argument but it was inconsistent even before.

Patch series "kthread: Kthread worker API improvements"
The intention of this patchset is to make it easier to manipulate and
maintain kthreads. Especially, I want to replace all the custom main
cycles with a generic one. Also I want to make the kthreads sleep in a
consistent state in a common place when there is no work.
This patch (of 11):
A good practice is to prefix the names of functions by the name of the
subsystem.
This patch fixes the name of probe_kthread_data(). The other wrong
functions names are part of the kthread worker API and will be fixed
separately.

get_task_struct(tsk) no longer pins tsk->stack so all users of
to_live_kthread() should do try_get_task_stack/put_task_stack to protect
"struct kthread" which lives on kthread's stack.
TODO: Kill to_live_kthread(), perhaps we can even kill "struct kthread" too,
and rework kthread_stop(), it can use task_work_add() to sync with the exiting
kernel thread.

- Make it clear that the `node' arg refers to memory allocations only:
kthread_create_on_node() does not pin the new thread to that node's
CPUs.
- Encourage the use of NUMA_NO_NODE.

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The biggest change in this cycle is the rewrite of the main SMP load
balancing metric: the CPU load/utilization. The main goal was to make
the metric more precise and more representative - see the changelog of
this commit for the gory details:
9d89c257df ("sched/fair: Rewrite runnable load and utilization average tracking")
It is done in a way that significantly reduces complexity of the code:
5 files changed, 249 insertions(+), 494 deletions(-)
and the performance testing results are encouraging. Nevertheless we
need to keep an eye on potential regressions, since this potentially
affects every SMP workload in existence.
This work comes from Yuyang Du.
Other changes:
- SCHED_DL updates. (Andrea Parri)
- Simplify architecture callbacks by removing finish_arch_switch().
(Peter Zijlstra et al)
- cputime accounting: guarantee stime + utime == rtime. (Peter
Zijlstra)
- optimize idle CPU wakeups some more - inspired by Facebook server
loads. (Mike Galbraith)
- stop_machine fixes and updates. (Oleg Nesterov)
- Introduce the 'trace_sched_waking' tracepoint. (Peter Zijlstra)
- sched/numa tweaks. (Srikar Dronamraju)
- misc fixes and small cleanups"

...
Because sched_setscheduler() checks p->flags & PF_NO_SETAFFINITY
without locks, a caller might observe an old value and race with the
set_cpus_allowed_ptr() call from __kthread_bind() and effectively undo
it:
__kthread_bind()
do_set_cpus_allowed()
<SYSCALL>
sched_setaffinity()
if (p->flags & PF_NO_SETAFFINITIY)
set_cpus_allowed_ptr()
p->flags |= PF_NO_SETAFFINITY
Fix the bug by putting everything under the regular scheduler locks.
This also closes a hole in the serialization of task_struct::{nr_,}cpus_allowed.

The s-Par visornic driver, currently in staging, processes a queue being
serviced by the an s-Par service partition. We can get a message that
something has happened with the Service Partition, when that happens, we
must not access the channel until we get a message that the service
partition is back again.
The visornic driver has a thread for processing the channel, when we get
the message, we need to be able to park the thread and then resume it
when the problem clears.
We can do this with kthread_park and unpark but they are not exported
from the kernel, this patch exports the needed functions.
