1) Per-CPU kthreads must stay affine to a single CPU and never execute
relevant code on any other CPU. This is currently handled by smpboot
code which takes care of CPU-hotplug operations. Affinity here is
a correctness constraint.
2) Some kthreads _have_ to be affine to a specific set of CPUs and can't
run anywhere else. The affinity is set through kthread_bind_mask()
and the subsystem takes care by itself to handle CPU-hotplug
operations. Affinity here is assumed to be a correctness constraint.
3) Per-node kthreads _prefer_ to be affine to a specific NUMA node. This
is not a correctness constraint but merely a preference in terms of
memory locality. kswapd and kcompactd both fall into this category.
The affinity is set manually like for any other task and CPU-hotplug
is supposed to be handled by the relevant subsystem so that the task
is properly reaffined whenever a given CPU from the node comes up.
Also care should be taken so that the node affinity doesn't cross
isolated (nohz_full) cpumask boundaries.
4) Similar to the previous point except kthreads have a _preferred_
affinity different than a node. Both RCU boost kthreads and RCU
exp kworkers fall into this category as they refer to "RCU nodes"
from a distinctly distributed tree.
Currently the preferred affinity patterns (3 and 4) have at least 4
identified users, with more or less success when it comes to handle
CPU-hotplug operations and CPU isolation. Each of which do it in its own
ad-hoc way.
This is an infrastructure proposal to handle this with the following API
changes:
_ kthread_create_on_node() automatically affines the created kthread to
its target node unless it has been set as per-cpu or bound with
kthread_bind[_mask]() before the first wake-up.
- kthread_affine_preferred() is a new function that can be called right
after kthread_create_on_node() to specify a preferred affinity
different than the specified node.
When the preferred affinity can't be applied because the possible
targets are offline or isolated (nohz_full), the kthread is affine
to the housekeeping CPUs (which means to all online CPUs most of the
time or only the non-nohz_full CPUs when nohz_full= is set).
kswapd, kcompactd, RCU boost kthreads and RCU exp kworkers have been
converted, along with a few old drivers.
Summary of the changes:
* Consolidate a bunch of ad-hoc implementations of kthread_run_on_cpu()
* Introduce task_cpu_fallback_mask() that defines the default last
resort affinity of a task to become nohz_full aware
* Add some correctness check to ensure kthread_bind() is always called
before the first kthread wake up.
* Default affine kthread to its preferred node.
* Convert kswapd / kcompactd and remove their halfway working ad-hoc
affinity implementation
* Implement kthreads preferred affinity
* Unify kthread worker and kthread API's style
* Convert RCU kthreads to the new API and remove the ad-hoc affinity
implementation.
