cbbce82209 SCHED: add some "wait..on_bit...timeout()" interfaces.
In commit c1221321b7
   sched: Allow wait_on_bit_action() functions to support a timeout

I suggested that a "wait_on_bit_timeout()" interface would not meet my
need.  This isn't true - I was just over-engineering.

Including a 'private' field in wait_bit_key instead of a focused
"timeout" field was just premature generalization.  If some other
use is ever found, it can be generalized or added later.

So this patch renames "private" to "timeout" with a meaning "stop
waiting when "jiffies" reaches or passes "timeout",
and adds two of the many possible wait..bit..timeout() interfaces:

wait_on_page_bit_killable_timeout(), which is the one I want to use,
and out_of_line_wait_on_bit_timeout() which is a reasonably general
example.  Others can be added as needed.

c1221321b7 sched: Allow wait_on_bit_action() functions to support a timeout
It is currently not possible for various wait_on_bit functions
to implement a timeout.

While the "action" function that is called to do the waiting
could certainly use schedule_timeout(), there is no way to carry
forward the remaining timeout after a false wake-up.
As false-wakeups a clearly possible at least due to possible
hash collisions in bit_waitqueue(), this is a real problem.

The 'action' function is currently passed a pointer to the word
containing the bit being waited on.  No current action functions
use this pointer.  So changing it to something else will be a
little noisy but will have no immediate effect.

This patch changes the 'action' function to take a pointer to
the "struct wait_bit_key", which contains a pointer to the word
containing the bit so nothing is really lost.

It also adds a 'private' field to "struct wait_bit_key", which
is initialized to zero.

An action function can now implement a timeout with something
like

static int timed_out_waiter(struct wait_bit_key *key)
{
	unsigned long waited;
	if (key->private == 0) {
		key->private = jiffies;
		if (key->private == 0)
			key->private -= 1;
	}
	waited = jiffies - key->private;
	if (waited > 10 * HZ)
		return -EAGAIN;
	schedule_timeout(waited - 10 * HZ);
	return 0;
}

If any other need for context in a waiter were found it would be
easy to use ->private for some other purpose, or even extend
"struct wait_bit_key".

My particular need is to support timeouts in nfs_release_page()
to avoid deadlocks with loopback mounted NFS.

While wait_on_bit_timeout() would be a cleaner interface, it
will not meet my need.  I need the timeout to be sensitive to
the state of the connection with the server, which could change.
 So I need to use an 'action' interface.

743162013d sched: Remove proliferation of wait_on_bit() action functions
The current "wait_on_bit" interface requires an 'action'
function to be provided which does the actual waiting.
There are over 20 such functions, many of them identical.
Most cases can be satisfied by one of just two functions, one
which uses io_schedule() and one which just uses schedule().

So:
 Rename wait_on_bit and        wait_on_bit_lock to
        wait_on_bit_action and wait_on_bit_lock_action
 to make it explicit that they need an action function.

 Introduce new wait_on_bit{,_lock} and wait_on_bit{,_lock}_io
 which are *not* given an action function but implicitly use
 a standard one.
 The decision to error-out if a signal is pending is now made
 based on the 'mode' argument rather than being encoded in the action
 function.

 All instances of the old wait_on_bit and wait_on_bit_lock which
 can use the new version have been changed accordingly and their
 action functions have been discarded.
 wait_on_bit{_lock} does not return any specific error code in the
 event of a signal so the caller must check for non-zero and
 interpolate their own error code as appropriate.

The wait_on_bit() call in __fscache_wait_on_invalidate() was
ambiguous as it specified TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE but used
fscache_wait_bit_interruptible as an action function.
David Howells confirms this should be uniformly
"uninterruptible"

The main remaining user of wait_on_bit{,_lock}_action is NFS
which needs to use a freezer-aware schedule() call.

A comment in fs/gfs2/glock.c notes that having multiple 'action'
functions is useful as they display differently in the 'wchan'
field of 'ps'. (and /proc/$PID/wchan).
As the new bit_wait{,_io} functions are tagged "__sched", they
will not show up at all, but something higher in the stack.  So
the distinction will still be visible, only with different
function names (gds2_glock_wait versus gfs2_glock_dq_wait in the
gfs2/glock.c case).

Since first version of this patch (against 3.15) two new action
functions appeared, on in NFS and one in CIFS.  CIFS also now
uses an action function that makes the same freezer aware
schedule call as NFS.

b8780c363d sched: remove sleep_on() and friends
This is the final piece in the puzzle, as all patches to remove the
last users of \(interruptible_\|\)sleep_on\(_timeout\|\) have made it
into the 3.15 merge window. The work was long overdue, and this
interface in particular should not have survived the BKL removal
that was done a couple of years ago.

Citing Jon Corbet from http://lwn.net/2001/0201/kernel.php3":

 "[...] it was suggested that the janitors look for and fix all code
  that calls sleep_on() [...] since (1) almost all such code is
  incorrect, and (2) Linus has agreed that those functions should
  be removed in the 2.5 development series".

We haven't quite made it for 2.5, but maybe we can merge this for 3.15.

c2d816443e sched/wait: Introduce prepare_to_wait_event()
Add the new helper, prepare_to_wait_event() which should only be used
by ___wait_event().

prepare_to_wait_event() returns -ERESTARTSYS if signal_pending_state()
is true, otherwise it does prepare_to_wait/exclusive.  This allows to
uninline the signal-pending checks in wait_event*() macros.

Also, it can initialize wait->private/func. We do not care if they were
already initialized, the values are the same. This also shaves a couple
of insns from the inlined code.

This obviously makes prepare_*() path a little bit slower, but we are
likely going to sleep anyway, so I think it makes sense to shrink .text:

               text    data      bss      dec     hex  filename
            ===================================================

    after:  5124618 2955152 10117120 18196890 115a99a   vmlinux

8922915b38 sched/wait: Add ___wait_cond_timeout() to wait_event*_timeout() too
Commit 4c663cfc ("wait: fix false timeouts when using
wait_event_timeout()") introduced the additional condition checks
after a timeout but only in the "slow" __wait*() paths.

wait_event_timeout(wq, CONDITION, 0) still returns 0 if CONDITION
is already true and we do not call __wait*().

Now that we have ___wait_cond_timeout() we can use it instead to
ensure that __ret will be properly updated.

 - it forgot one site

2f2a2b60ad sched/wait: Make the signal_pending() checks consistent
There's two patterns to check signals in the __wait_event*() macros:

  if (!signal_pending(current)) {
	schedule();
	continue;
  }
  ret = -ERESTARTSYS;
  break;

And the more natural:

  if (signal_pending(current)) {
	ret = -ERESTARTSYS;
	break;
  }
  schedule();

Change them all into the latter form.

d79ff14262 [SCSI] zfcp: fix lock imbalance by reworking request queue locking
This patch adds wait_event_interruptible_lock_irq_timeout(), which is a
straight-forward descendant of wait_event_interruptible_timeout() and
wait_event_interruptible_lock_irq().

The zfcp driver used to call wait_event_interruptible_timeout()
in combination with some intricate and error-prone locking. Using
wait_event_interruptible_lock_irq_timeout() as a replacement
nicely cleans up that locking.

This rework removes a situation that resulted in a locking imbalance
in zfcp_qdio_sbal_get():

BUG: workqueue leaked lock or atomic: events/1/0xffffff00/10
    last function: zfcp_fc_wka_port_offline+0x0/0xa0 [zfcp]

It was introduced by commit c2af7545aa
"[SCSI] zfcp: Do not wait for SBALs on stopped queue", which had a new
code path related to ZFCP_STATUS_ADAPTER_QDIOUP that took an early exit
without a required lock being held. The problem occured when a
special, non-SCSI I/O request was being submitted in process context,
when the adapter's queues had been torn down. In this case the bug
surfaced when the Fibre Channel port connection for a well-known address
was closed during a concurrent adapter shut-down procedure, which is a
rare constellation.

This patch also fixes these warnings from the sparse tool (make C=1):

drivers/s390/scsi/zfcp_qdio.c:224:12: warning: context imbalance in
 'zfcp_qdio_sbal_check' - wrong count at exit
drivers/s390/scsi/zfcp_qdio.c:244:5: warning: context imbalance in
 'zfcp_qdio_sbal_get' - unexpected unlock

Last but not least, we get rid of that crappy lock-unlock-lock
sequence at the beginning of the critical section.

It is okay to call zfcp_erp_adapter_reopen() with req_q_lock held.

4c663cfc52 wait: fix false timeouts when using wait_event_timeout()
Many callers of the wait_event_timeout() and
wait_event_interruptible_timeout() expect that the return value will be
positive if the specified condition becomes true before the timeout
elapses.  However, at the moment this isn't guaranteed.  If the wake-up
handler is delayed enough, the time remaining until timeout will be
calculated as 0 - and passed back as a return value - even if the
condition became true before the timeout has passed.

Fix this by returning at least 1 if the condition becomes true.  This
semantic is in line with what wait_for_condition_timeout() does; see
commit bb10ed09 ("sched: fix wait_for_completion_timeout() spurious
failure under heavy load").

Daniel said "We have 3 instances of this bug in drm/i915.  One case even
where we switch between the interruptible and not interruptible
wait_event_timeout variants, foolishly presuming they have the same
semantics.  I very much like this."

One such bug is reported at
  https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64133

cb65537ee1 Add wait_on_atomic_t() and wake_up_atomic_t()
Add wait_on_atomic_t() and wake_up_atomic_t() to indicate became-zero events on
atomic_t types.  This uses the bit-wake waitqueue table.  The key is set to a
value outside of the number of bits in a long so that wait_on_bit() won't be
woken up accidentally.

What I'm using this for is: in a following patch I add a counter to struct
fscache_cookie to count the number of outstanding operations that need access
to netfs data.  The way this works is:

 (1) When a cookie is allocated, the counter is initialised to 1.

 (2) When an operation wants to access netfs data, it calls atomic_inc_unless()
     to increment the counter before it does so.  If it was 0, then the counter
     isn't incremented, the operation isn't permitted to access the netfs data
     (which might by this point no longer exist) and the operation aborts in
     some appropriate manner.

 (3) When an operation finishes with the netfs data, it decrements the counter
     and if it reaches 0, calls wake_up_atomic_t() on it - the assumption being
     that it was the last blocker.

 (4) When a cookie is released, the counter is decremented and the releaser
     uses wait_on_atomic_t() to wait for the counter to become 0 - which should
     indicate no one is using the netfs data any longer.  The netfs data can
     then be destroyed.

There are some alternatives that I have thought of and that have been suggested
by Tejun Heo:

 (A) Using wait_on_bit() to wait on a bit in the counter.  This doesn't work
     because if that bit happens to be 0 then the wait won't happen - even if
     the counter is non-zero.

 (B) Using wait_on_bit() to wait on a flag elsewhere which is cleared when the
     counter reaches 0.  Such a flag would be redundant and would add
     complexity.

 (C) Adding a waitqueue to fscache_cookie - this would expand that struct by
     several words for an event that happens just once in each cookie's
     lifetime.  Further, cookies are generally per-file so there are likely to
     be a lot of them.

 (D) Similar to (C), but add a pointer to a waitqueue in the cookie instead of
     a waitqueue.  This would add single word per cookie and so would be less
     of an expansion - but still an expansion.

 (E) Adding a static waitqueue to the fscache module.  Generally this would be
     fine, but under certain circumstances many cookies will all get added at
     the same time (eg. NFS umount, cache withdrawal) thereby presenting
     scaling issues.  Note that the wait may be significant as disk I/O may be
     in progress.

So, I think reusing the wait_on_bit() waitqueue set is reasonable.  I don't
make much use of the waitqueue I need on a per-cookie basis, but sometimes I
have a huge flood of the cookies to deal with.

I also don't want to add a whole new set of global waitqueue tables
specifically for the dec-to-0 event if I can reuse the bit tables.

774a08b354 wait: add wait_event_hrtimeout()
Analagous to wait_event_timeout() and friends, this adds
wait_event_hrtimeout() and wait_event_interruptible_hrtimeout().

Note that unlike the versions that use regular timers, these don't
return the amount of time remaining when they return - instead, they
return 0 or -ETIME if they timed out.  because I was uncomfortable with
the semantics of doing it the other way (that I could get it right,
anyways).

If the timer expires, there's no real guarantee that expire_time -
current_time would be <= 0 - due to timer slack certainly, and I'm not
sure I want to know the implications of the different clock bases in
hrtimers.

If the timer does expire and the code calculates that the time remaining
is nonnegative, that could be even worse if the calling code then reuses
that timeout.  Probably safer to just return 0 then, but I could imagine
weird bugs or at least unintended behaviour arising from that too.

I came to the conclusion that if other users end up actually needing the
amount of time remaining, the sanest thing to do would be to create a
version that uses absolute timeouts instead of relative.

eed8c02e68 wait: add wait_event_lock_irq() interface
New wait_event{_interruptible}_lock_irq{_cmd} macros added. This commit
moves the private wait_event_lock_irq() macro from MD to regular wait
includes, introduces new macro wait_event_lock_irq_cmd() instead of using
the old method with omitting cmd parameter which is ugly and makes a use
of new macros in the MD. It also introduces the _interruptible_ variant.

The use of new interface is when one have a special lock to protect data
structures used in the condition, or one also needs to invoke "cmd"
before putting it to sleep.

All new macros are expected to be called with the lock taken. The lock
is released before sleep and is reacquired afterwards. We will leave the
macro with the lock held.

Note to DM: IMO this should also fix theoretical race on waitqueue while
using simultaneously wait_event_lock_irq() and wait_event() because of
lack of locking around current state setting and wait queue removal.

The "flags" member of "struct wait_queue_t" is used in several places in
the kernel code without beeing initialized by init_wait().  "flags" is

Incorrect flags might used later in code.

22c43c81a5 wait_event_interruptible_locked() interface
New wait_event_interruptible{,_exclusive}_locked{,_irq} macros added.
They work just like versions without _locked* suffix but require the
wait queue's lock to be held.  Also __wake_up_locked() is now exported
as to pair it with the above macros.

The use case of this new facility is when one uses wait queue's lock
to  protect a data structure.  This may be advantageous if the
structure needs to be protected by a spinlock anyway.  In particular,
with additional spinlock the following code has to be used to wait
for a condition:

spin_lock(&data.lock);
...
for (ret = 0; !ret && !(condition); ) {
	spin_unlock(&data.lock);
	ret = wait_event_interruptible(data.wqh, (condition));
	spin_lock(&data.lock);
}
...
spin_unlock(&data.lock);

This looks bizarre plus wait_event_interruptible() locks the wait
queue's lock anyway so there is a unlock+lock sequence where it could
be avoided.

To avoid those problems and benefit from wait queue's lock, a code
similar to the following should be used:

/* Waiting */
spin_lock(&data.wqh.lock);
...
ret = wait_event_interruptible_locked(data.wqh, (condition));
...
spin_unlock(&data.wqh.lock);

/* Waiting exclusively */
spin_lock(&data.whq.lock);
...
ret = wait_event_interruptible_exclusive_locked(data.whq, (condition));
...
spin_unlock(&data.whq.lock);

/* Waking up */
spin_lock(&data.wqh.lock);
...
wake_up_locked(&data.wqh);
...
spin_unlock(&data.wqh.lock);

When spin_lock_irq() is used matching versions of macros need to be
used (*_locked_irq()).

bf368e4e70 net: Avoid extra wakeups of threads blocked in wait_for_packet()
In 2.6.25 we added UDP mem accounting.

This unfortunatly added a penalty when a frame is transmitted, since
we have at TX completion time to call sock_wfree() to perform necessary
memory accounting. This calls sock_def_write_space() and utimately
scheduler if any thread is waiting on the socket.
Thread(s) waiting for an incoming frame was scheduled, then had to sleep
again as event was meaningless.

(All threads waiting on a socket are using same sk_sleep anchor)

This adds lot of extra wakeups and increases latencies, as noted
by Christoph Lameter, and slows down softirq handler.

Reference : http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=124060437012283&w=2 

Fortunatly, Davide Libenzi recently added concept of keyed wakeups
into kernel, and particularly for sockets (see commit
37e5540b3c 
epoll keyed wakeups: make sockets use keyed wakeups)

Davide goal was to optimize epoll, but this new wakeup infrastructure
can help non epoll users as well, if they care to setup an appropriate
handler.

This patch introduces new DEFINE_WAIT_FUNC() helper and uses it
in wait_for_packet(), so that only relevant event can wakeup a thread
blocked in this function.

Trace of function calls from bnx2 TX completion bnx2_poll_work() is :
__kfree_skb()
 skb_release_head_state()
  sock_wfree()
   sock_def_write_space()
    __wake_up_sync_key()
     __wake_up_common()
      receiver_wake_function() : Stops here since thread is waiting for an INPUT

78ddb08feb wait: don't use __wake_up_common()
'777c6c5 wait: prevent exclusive waiter starvation' made
__wake_up_common() global to be used from abort_exclusive_wait().

It was needed to do a wake-up with the waitqueue lock held while
passing down a key to the wake-up function.

Since '4ede816 epoll keyed wakeups: add __wake_up_locked_key() and
__wake_up_sync_key()' there is an appropriate wrapper for this case:
__wake_up_locked_key().

Use it here and make __wake_up_common() private to the scheduler
again.

c0da377536 epoll keyed wakeups: introduce new *_poll() wakeup macros
Introduce new wakeup macros that allow passing an event mask to the wakeup
targets.  They exactly mimic their non-_poll() counterpart, with the added
event mask passing capability.  I did add only the ones currently
requested, avoiding the _nr() and _all() for the moment.

4ede816ac3 epoll keyed wakeups: add __wake_up_locked_key() and __wake_up_sync_key()
This patchset introduces wakeup hints for some of the most popular (from
epoll POV) devices, so that epoll code can avoid spurious wakeups on its
waiters.

The problem with epoll is that the callback-based wakeups do not, ATM,
carry any information about the events the wakeup is related to.  So the
only choice epoll has (not being able to call f_op->poll() from inside the
callback), is to add the file* to a ready-list and resolve the real events
later on, at epoll_wait() (or its own f_op->poll()) time.  This can cause
spurious wakeups, since the wake_up() itself might be for an event the
caller is not interested into.

The rate of these spurious wakeup can be pretty high in case of many
network sockets being monitored.

By allowing devices to report the events the wakeups refer to (at least
the two major classes - POLLIN/POLLOUT), we are able to spare useless
wakeups by proper handling inside the epoll's poll callback.

Epoll will have in any case to call f_op->poll() on the file* later on,
since the change to be done in order to have the full event set sent via
wakeup, is too invasive for the way our f_op->poll() system works (the
full event set is calculated inside the poll function - there are too many
of them to even start thinking the change - also poll/select would need
change too).

Epoll is changed in a way that both devices which send event hints, and
the ones that don't, are correctly handled.  The former will gain some
efficiency though.

As a general rule for devices, would be to add an event mask by using
key-aware wakeup macros, when making up poll wait queues.  I tested it
(together with the epoll's poll fix patch Andrew has in -mm) and wakeups
for the supported devices are correctly filtered.

Test program available here:

http://www.xmailserver.org/epoll_test.c

This patch:

Nothing revolutionary here.  Just using the available "key" that our
wakeup core already support.  The __wake_up_locked_key() was no brainer,
since both __wake_up_locked() and __wake_up_locked_key() are thin wrappers
around __wake_up_common().

The __wake_up_sync() function had a body, so the choice was between
borrowing the body for __wake_up_sync_key() and calling it from
__wake_up_sync(), or make an inline and calling it from both.  I chose the
former since in most archs it all resolves to "mov $0, REG; jmp ADDR".
