Way back in 4.9, we committed 4cd13c21b2 ("softirq: Let ksoftirqd do
its job"), and ever since we've had small nagging issues with it. For
example, we've had:
1ff688209e ("watchdog: core: make sure the watchdog_worker is not deferred")
8d5755b3f7 ("watchdog: softdog: fire watchdog even if softirqs do not get to run")
217f697436 ("net: busy-poll: allow preemption in sk_busy_loop()")
all of which worked around some of the effects of that commit.
The DVB people have also complained that the commit causes excessive USB
URB latencies, which seems to be due to the USB code using tasklets to
schedule USB traffic. This seems to be an issue mainly when already
living on the edge, but waiting for ksoftirqd to handle it really does
seem to cause excessive latencies.
Now Hanna Hawa reports that this issue isn't just limited to USB URB and
DVB, but also causes timeout problems for the Marvell SoC team:
"I'm facing kernel panic issue while running raid 5 on sata disks
connected to Macchiatobin (Marvell community board with Armada-8040
SoC with 4 ARMv8 cores of CA72) Raid 5 built with Marvell DMA engine
and async_tx mechanism (ASYNC_TX_DMA [=y]); the DMA driver (mv_xor_v2)
uses a tasklet to clean the done descriptors from the queue"
The latency problem causes a panic:
mv_xor_v2 f0400000.xor: dma_sync_wait: timeout!
Kernel panic - not syncing: async_tx_quiesce: DMA error waiting for transaction
We've discussed simply just reverting the original commit entirely, and
also much more involved solutions (with per-softirq threads etc). This
patch is intentionally stupid and fairly limited, because the issue
still remains, and the other solutions either got sidetracked or had
other issues.
We should probably also consider the timer softirqs to be synchronous
and not be delayed to ksoftirqd (since they were the issue with the
earlier watchdog problems), but that should be done as a separate patch.
This does only the tasklet cases.

Pull irq updates from Thomas Gleixner:
- Consolidation of softirq pending:
The softirq mask and its accessors/mutators have many implementations
scattered around many architectures. Most do the same things
consisting in a field in a per-cpu struct (often irq_cpustat_t)
accessed through per-cpu ops. We can provide instead a generic
efficient version that most of them can use. In fact s390 is the only
exception because the field is stored in lowcore.
- Support for level!?! triggered MSI (ARM)
Over the past couple of years, we've seen some SoCs coming up with
ways of signalling level interrupts using a new flavor of MSIs, where
the MSI controller uses two distinct messages: one that raises a
virtual line, and one that lowers it. The target MSI controller is in
charge of maintaining the state of the line.
This allows for a much simplified HW signal routing (no need to have
hundreds of discrete lines to signal level interrupts if you already
have a memory bus), but results in a departure from the current idea
the kernel has of MSIs.
- Support for Meson-AXG GPIO irqchip
- Large stm32 irqchip rework (suspend/resume, hierarchical domains)

It is not safe for one thread to modify the ->flags
of another thread as there is no locking that can protect
the update.
So tsk_restore_flags(), which takes a task pointer and modifies
the flags, is an invitation to do the wrong thing.
All current users pass "current" as the task, so no developers have
accepted that invitation. It would be best to ensure it remains
that way.
So rename tsk_restore_flags() to current_restore_flags() and don't
pass in a task_struct pointer. Always operate on current->flags.

the plugin will initialize it with random contents. The variable must
be an integer, an integer array type or a structure with integer fields.

A while back, Paolo and Hannes sent an RFC patch adding threaded-able
napi poll loop support : (https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/620657/)
The problem seems to be that softirqs are very aggressive and are often
handled by the current process, even if we are under stress and that
ksoftirqd was scheduled, so that innocent threads would have more chance
to make progress.
This patch makes sure that if ksoftirq is running, we let it
perform the softirq work.
Jonathan Corbet summarized the issue in https://lwn.net/Articles/687617/
Tested:
- NIC receiving traffic handled by CPU 0
- UDP receiver running on CPU 0, using a single UDP socket.
- Incoming flood of UDP packets targeting the UDP socket.
Before the patch, the UDP receiver could almost never get CPU cycles and
could only receive ~2,000 packets per second.
After the patch, CPU cycles are split 50/50 between user application and
ksoftirqd/0, and we can effectively read ~900,000 packets per second,
a huge improvement in DOS situation. (Note that more packets are now
dropped by the NIC itself, since the BH handlers get less CPU cycles to
drain RX ring buffer)
Since the load runs in well identified threads context, an admin can
more easily tune process scheduling parameters if needed.

The preempt_disable() invokes preempt_count_add() which saves the caller
in ->preempt_disable_ip. It uses CALLER_ADDR1 which does not look for
its caller but for the parent of the caller. Which means we get the correct
caller for something like spin_lock() unless the architectures inlines
those invocations. It is always wrong for preempt_disable() or
local_bh_disable().
This patch makes the function get_lock_parent_ip() which tries
CALLER_ADDR0,1,2 if the former is a locking function.
This seems to record the preempt_disable() caller properly for
preempt_disable() itself as well as for get_cpu_var() or
local_bh_disable().
Steven asked for the get_parent_ip() -> get_lock_parent_ip() rename.

While debugging an issue with excessive softirq usage, I encountered the
following note in commit 3e339b5dae ("softirq: Use hotplug thread
infrastructure"):
[ paulmck: Call rcu_note_context_switch() with interrupts enabled. ]
...but despite this note, the patch still calls RCU with IRQs disabled.
This seemingly innocuous change caused a significant regression in softirq
CPU usage on the sending side of a large TCP transfer (~1 GB/s): when
introducing 0.01% packet loss, the softirq usage would jump to around 25%,
spiking as high as 50%. Before the change, the usage would never exceed 5%.
Moving the call to rcu_note_context_switch() after the cond_sched() call,
as it was originally before the hotplug patch, completely eliminated this
problem.

While debugging some "sleeping function called from invalid context" bug I
realized that the debugging message "Preemption disabled at:" pointed to
an incorrect function.
In particular if the last function/action that disabled preemption was
spin_lock_bh() then current->preempt_disable_ip won't be updated.
The reason for this is that __local_bh_disable_ip() will increase
preempt_count manually instead of calling preempt_count_add(), which
would handle the update correctly.
It look like the manual handling was done to work around some lockdep issue.
So add the missing update of current->preempt_disable_ip to
__local_bh_disable_ip() as well.

Pull percpu consistent-ops changes from Tejun Heo:
"Way back, before the current percpu allocator was implemented, static
and dynamic percpu memory areas were allocated and handled separately
and had their own accessors. The distinction has been gone for many
years now; however, the now duplicate two sets of accessors remained
with the pointer based ones - this_cpu_*() - evolving various other
operations over time. During the process, we also accumulated other
inconsistent operations.
This pull request contains Christoph's patches to clean up the
duplicate accessor situation. __get_cpu_var() uses are replaced with
with this_cpu_ptr() and __this_cpu_ptr() with raw_cpu_ptr().
Unfortunately, the former sometimes is tricky thanks to C being a bit
messy with the distinction between lvalues and pointers, which led to
a rather ugly solution for cpumask_var_t involving the introduction of
this_cpu_cpumask_var_ptr().
This converts most of the uses but not all. Christoph will follow up
with the remaining conversions in this merge window and hopefully
remove the obsolete accessors"

Calling rcu_bh_qs() after every softirq action is not really needed.
What RCU needs is at least one rcu_bh_qs() per softirq round to note a
quiescent state was passed for rcu_bh.
Note for Paul and myself : this could be inlined as a single instruction
and avoid smp_processor_id()
(sone this_cpu_write(rcu_bh_data.passed_quiesce, 1))

On x86 the allocation of irq descriptors may allocate interrupts which
are in the range of the GSI interrupts. That's wrong as those
interrupts are hardwired and we don't have the irq domain translation
like PPC. So one of these interrupts can be hooked up later to one of
the devices which are hard wired to it and the io_apic init code for
that particular interrupt line happily reuses that descriptor with a
completely different configuration so hell breaks lose.
Inside x86 we allocate dynamic interrupts from above nr_gsi_irqs,
except for a few usage sites which have not yet blown up in our face
for whatever reason. But for drivers which need an irq range, like the
GPIO drivers, we have no limit in place and we don't want to expose
such a detail to a driver.
To cure this introduce a function which an architecture can implement
to impose a lower bound on the dynamic interrupt allocations.
Implement it for x86 and set the lower bound to nr_gsi_irqs, which is
the end of the hardwired interrupt space, so all dynamic allocations
happen above.
That not only allows the GPIO driver to work sanely, it also protects
the bogus callsites of create_irq_nr() in hpet, uv, irq_remapping and
htirq code. They need to be cleaned up as well, but that's a separate
issue.

This makes the code more symetric against the existing tick functions
called on irq exit: tick_irq_exit() and tick_nohz_irq_exit().
These function are also symetric as they mirror each other's action:
we start to account idle time on irq exit and we stop this accounting
on irq entry. Also the tick is stopped on irq exit and timekeeping
catches up with the tickless time elapsed until we reach irq entry.
This rename was suggested by Peter Zijlstra a long while ago but it
got forgotten in the mass.

Currently local_bh_disable() is out-of-line for no apparent reason.
So inline it to save a few cycles on call/return nonsense, the
function body is a single add on x86 (a few loads and store extra on
load/store archs).
Also expose two new local_bh functions:
__local_bh_{dis,en}able_ip(unsigned long ip, unsigned int cnt);
Which implement the actual local_bh_{dis,en}able() behaviour.
The next patch uses the exposed @cnt argument to optimize bh lock
functions.

Currently all _bh_ lock functions do two preempt_count operations:
local_bh_disable();
preempt_disable();
and for the unlock:
preempt_enable_no_resched();
local_bh_enable();
Since its a waste of perfectly good cycles to modify the same variable
twice when you can do it in one go; use the new
__local_bh_{dis,en}able_ip() functions that allow us to provide a
preempt_count value to add/sub.
So define SOFTIRQ_LOCK_OFFSET as the offset a _bh_ lock needs to
add/sub to be done in one go.
As a bonus it gets rid of the preempt_enable_no_resched() usage.
This reduces a 1000 loops of:
spin_lock_bh(&bh_lock);
spin_unlock_bh(&bh_lock);
from 53596 cycles to 51995 cycles. I didn't do enough measurements to
say for absolute sure that the result is significant but the the few
runs I did for each suggest it is so.

Instead of saving the hardirq state on a per CPU variable, which require
an explicit call before the softirq handling and some complication,
just save and restore the hardirq tracing state through functions
return values and parameters.
It simplifies a bit the black magic that works around the fact that
softirqs can be called from hardirqs while hardirqs can nest on softirqs
but those two cases have very different semantics and only the latter
case assume both states.

There was a reported deadlock on -rt which lockdep didn't report.
It turns out that in irq_exit() we tell lockdep that the hardirq
context ends and then do all kinds of locking afterwards.
To fix it, move trace_hardirq_exit() to the very end of irq_exit(), this
ensures all locking in tick_irq_exit() and rcu_irq_exit() are properly
recorded as happening from hardirq context.
This however leads to the 'fun' little problem of running softirqs
while in hardirq context. To cure this make the softirq code a little
more complex (in the CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS case).
Due to stack swizzling arch dependent trickery we cannot pass an
argument to __do_softirq() to tell it if it was done from hardirq
context or not; so use a side-band argument.
When we do __do_softirq() from hardirq context, 'atomically' flip to
softirq context and back, so that no locking goes without being in
either hard- or soft-irq context.
I didn't find any new problems in mainline using this patch, but it
did show the -rt problem.

If irq_exit() is called on the arch's specified irq stack,
it should be safe to run softirqs inline under that same
irq stack as it is near empty by the time we call irq_exit().
For example if we use the same stack for both hard and soft irqs here,
the worst case scenario is:
hardirq -> softirq -> hardirq. But then the softirq supersedes the
first hardirq as the stack user since irq_exit() is called in
a mostly empty stack. So the stack merge in this case looks acceptable.
Stack overrun still have a chance to happen if hardirqs have more
opportunities to nest, but then it's another problem to solve.
So lets adapt the irq exit's softirq stack on top of a new Kconfig symbol
that can be defined when irq_exit() runs on the irq stack. That way
we can spare some stack switch on irq processing and all the cache
issues that come along.
