workqueue: Scale up wq_cpu_intensive_thresh_us if BogoMIPS is below 4000
wq_cpu_intensive_thresh_us is used to detect CPU-hogging per-cpu work items.
Once detected, they're excluded from concurrency management to prevent them
from blocking other per-cpu work items. If CONFIG_WQ_CPU_INTENSIVE_REPORT is
enabled, repeat offenders are also reported so that the code can be updated.
The default threshold is 10ms which is long enough to do fair bit of work on
modern CPUs while short enough to be usually not noticeable. This
unfortunately leads to a lot of, arguable spurious, detections on very slow
CPUs. Using the same threshold across CPUs whose performance levels may be
apart by multiple levels of magnitude doesn't make whole lot of sense.
This patch scales up wq_cpu_intensive_thresh_us upto 1 second when BogoMIPS
is below 4000. This is obviously very inaccurate but it doesn't have to be
accurate to be useful. The mechanism is still useful when the threshold is
fully scaled up and the benefits of reports are usually shared with everyone
regardless of who's reporting, so as long as there are sufficient number of
fast machines reporting, we don't lose much.
Some (or is it all?) ARM CPUs systemtically report significantly lower
BogoMIPS. While this doesn't break anything, given how widespread ARM CPUs
are, it's at least a missed opportunity and it probably would be a good idea
to teach workqueue about it.

workqueue: Disable per-cpu CPU hog detection when wq_cpu_intensive_thresh_us is 0
If workqueue.cpu_intensive_thresh_us is set to 0, the detection mechanism
for CPU-hogging per-cpu work item will keep triggering spuriously:
workqueue: process_srcu hogged CPU for >0us 4 times, consider switching to WQ_UNBOUND
workqueue: gc_worker hogged CPU for >0us 4 times, consider switching to WQ_UNBOUND
workqueue: gc_worker hogged CPU for >0us 8 times, consider switching to WQ_UNBOUND
workqueue: wait_rcu_exp_gp hogged CPU for >0us 4 times, consider switching to WQ_UNBOUND
workqueue: kfree_rcu_monitor hogged CPU for >0us 4 times, consider switching to WQ_UNBOUND
workqueue: kfree_rcu_monitor hogged CPU for >0us 8 times, consider switching to WQ_UNBOUND
workqueue: reg_todo hogged CPU for >0us 4 times, consider switching to WQ_UNBOUND
This commit therefore disables the CPU-hog detection mechanism when
workqueue.cpu_intensive_thresh_us is set to 0.
tj: Patch description updated and the condition check on
cpu_intensive_thresh_us separated into a separate if statement for
readability.

workqueue: Track and monitor per-workqueue CPU time usage
Now that wq_worker_tick() is there, we can easily track the rough CPU time
consumption of each workqueue by charging the whole tick whenever a tick
hits an active workqueue. While not super accurate, it provides reasonable
visibility into the workqueues that consume a lot of CPU cycles.
wq_monitor.py is updated to report the per-workqueue CPU times.
v2: wq_monitor.py was using "cputime" as the key when outputting in json

workqueue: Report work funcs that trigger automatic CPU_INTENSIVE mechanism
Workqueue now automatically marks per-cpu work items that hog CPU for too
long as CPU_INTENSIVE, which excludes them from concurrency management and
prevents stalling other concurrency-managed work items. If a work function
keeps running over the thershold, it likely needs to be switched to use an
unbound workqueue.
This patch adds a debug mechanism which tracks the work functions which
trigger the automatic CPU_INTENSIVE mechanism and report them using
pr_warn() with exponential backoff.
v3: Documentation update.
v2: Drop bouncing to kthread_worker for printing messages. It was to avoid
introducing circular locking dependency through printk but not effective
as it still had pool lock -> wci_lock -> printk -> pool lock loop. Let's
just print directly using printk_deferred().

commit 616db8779b1e3f93075df691432cccc5ef3c3ba0
Author: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

workqueue: Automatically mark CPU-hogging work items CPU_INTENSIVE
If a per-cpu work item hogs the CPU, it can prevent other work items from
starting through concurrency management. A per-cpu workqueue which intends
to host such CPU-hogging work items can choose to not participate in
concurrency management by setting %WQ_CPU_INTENSIVE; however, this can be
error-prone and difficult to debug when missed.
This patch adds an automatic CPU usage based detection. If a
concurrency-managed work item consumes more CPU time than the threshold
(10ms by default) continuously without intervening sleeps, wq_worker_tick()
which is called from scheduler_tick() will detect the condition and
automatically mark it CPU_INTENSIVE.
The mechanism isn't foolproof:
* Detection depends on tick hitting the work item. Getting preempted at the
right timings may allow a violating work item to evade detection at least
temporarily.
* nohz_full CPUs may not be running ticks and thus can fail detection.
* Even when detection is working, the 10ms detection delays can add up if
many CPU-hogging work items are queued at the same time.
However, in vast majority of cases, this should be able to detect violations
reliably and provide reasonable protection with a small increase in code
complexity.
If some work items trigger this condition repeatedly, the bigger problem
likely is the CPU being saturated with such per-cpu work items and the
solution would be making them UNBOUND. The next patch will add a debug
mechanism to help spot such cases.
v4: Documentation for workqueue.cpu_intensive_thresh_us added to
kernel-parameters.txt.
v3: Switch to use wq_worker_tick() instead of hooking into preemptions as
suggested by Peter.
v2: Lai pointed out that wq_worker_stopping() also needs to be called from
preemption and rtlock paths and an earlier patch was updated
accordingly. This patch adds a comment describing the risk of infinte
recursions and how they're avoided.

workqueue: Improve locking rule description for worker fields
* Some worker fields are modified only by the worker itself while holding
pool->lock thus making them safe to read from self, IRQ context if the CPU
is running the worker or while holding pool->lock. Add 'K' locking rule
for them.
* worker->sleeping is currently marked "None" which isn't very descriptive.
It's used only by the worker itself. Add 'S' locking rule for it.
A future patch will depend on the 'K' rule to access worker->current_* from
the scheduler ticks.

workqueue: Add pwq->stats[] and a monitoring script
Currently, the only way to peer into workqueue operations is through
tracing. While possible, it isn't easy or convenient to monitor
per-workqueue behaviors over time this way. Let's add pwq->stats[] that
track relevant events and a drgn monitoring script -
tools/workqueue/wq_monitor.py.
It's arguable whether this needs to be configurable. However, it currently
only has several counters and the runtime overhead shouldn't be noticeable
given that they're on pwq's which are per-cpu on per-cpu workqueues and
per-numa-node on unbound ones. Let's keep it simple for the time being.
v2: Patch reordered to earlier with fewer fields. Field will be added back
gradually. Help message improved.

The current queue_work_on() docbook comment says that the caller must
ensure that the specified CPU can't go away, and further says that the
penalty for failing to nail down the specified CPU is that the workqueue
handler might find itself executing on some other CPU. This is true
as far as it goes, but fails to note what happens if the specified CPU
never was online. Therefore, further expand this comment to say that
specifying a CPU that was never online will result in a splat.

workqueue: clean up WORK_* constant types, clarify masking
Dave Airlie reports that gcc-13.1.1 has started complaining about some
of the workqueue code in 32-bit arm builds:
kernel/workqueue.c: In function ‘get_work_pwq’:
kernel/workqueue.c:713:24: error: cast to pointer from integer of different size [-Werror=int-to-pointer-cast]
713 | return (void *)(data & WORK_STRUCT_WQ_DATA_MASK);
| ^
[ ... a couple of other cases ... ]
and while it's not immediately clear exactly why gcc started complaining
about it now, I suspect it's some C23-induced enum type handlign fixup in
gcc-13 is the cause.
Whatever the reason for starting to complain, the code and data types
are indeed disgusting enough that the complaint is warranted.
The wq code ends up creating various "helper constants" (like that
WORK_STRUCT_WQ_DATA_MASK) using an enum type, which is all kinds of
confused. The mask needs to be 'unsigned long', not some unspecified
enum type.
To make matters worse, the actual "mask and cast to a pointer" is
repeated a couple of times, and the cast isn't even always done to the
right pointer, but - as the error case above - to a 'void *' with then
the compiler finishing the job.
That's now how we roll in the kernel.
So create the masks using the proper types rather than some ambiguous
enumeration, and use a nice helper that actually does the type
conversion in one well-defined place.
Incidentally, this magically makes clang generate better code. That,
admittedly, is really just a sign of clang having been seriously
confused before, and cleaning up the typing unconfuses the compiler too.

workqueues, so that dump only the state of freezable workqueues

workqueue: Print backtraces from CPUs with hung CPU bound workqueues
The workqueue watchdog reports a lockup when there was not any progress
in the worker pool for a long time. The progress means that a pending
work item starts being proceed.
Worker pools for unbound workqueues always wake up an idle worker and
try to process the work immediately. The last idle worker has to create
new worker first. The stall might happen only when a new worker could
not be created in which case an error should get printed. Another problem
might be too high load. In this case, workers are victims of a global
system problem.
Worker pools for CPU bound workqueues are designed for lightweight
work items that do not need much CPU time. They are proceed one by
one on a single worker. New worker is used only when a work is sleeping.
It creates one additional scenario. The stall might happen when
the CPU-bound workqueue is used for CPU-intensive work.
More precisely, the stall is detected when a CPU-bound worker is in
the TASK_RUNNING state for too long. In this case, it might be useful
to see the backtrace from the problematic worker.
The information how long a worker is in the running state is not available.
But the CPU-bound worker pools do not have many workers in the running
state by definition. And only few pools are typically blocked.
It should be acceptable to print backtraces from all workers in
TASK_RUNNING state in the stalled worker pools. The number of false
positives should be very low.

workqueue: Warn when a rescuer could not be created
Rescuers are created when a workqueue with WQ_MEM_RECLAIM is allocated.
It typically happens during the system boot.
systemd switches the root filesystem from initrd to the booted system
during boot. It kills processes that block the switch for too long.
One of the process might be modprobe that tries to create a workqueue.
These problems are hard to reproduce. Also alloc_workqueue() does not
pass the error code. Make the debugging easier by printing an error,
similar to create_worker().

workqueue: Warn when a new worker could not be created
The workqueue watchdog reports a lockup when there was not any progress
in the worker pool for a long time. The progress means that a pending
work item starts being proceed.
The progress is guaranteed by using idle workers or creating new workers
for pending work items.
There are several reasons why a new worker could not be created:
+ there is not enough memory
+ there is no free pool ID (IDR API)
+ the system reached PID limit
+ the process creating the new worker was interrupted
+ the last idle worker (manager) has not been scheduled for a long
time. It was not able to even start creating the kthread.
None of these failures is reported at the moment. The only clue is that
show_one_worker_pool() prints that there is a manager. It is the last
idle worker that is responsible for creating a new one. But it is not
clear if create_worker() is failing and why.
Make the debugging easier by printing errors in create_worker().
The error code is important, especially from kthread_create_on_node().
It helps to distinguish the various reasons. For example, reaching
memory limit (-ENOMEM), other system limits (-EAGAIN), or process
interrupted (-EINTR).
Use pr_once() to avoid repeating the same error every CREATE_COOLDOWN
for each stuck worker pool.
Ratelimited printk() might be better. It would help to know if the problem
remains. It would be more clear if the create_worker() errors and workqueue
stalls are related. Also old messages might get lost when the internal log
buffer is full. The problem is that printk() might touch the watchdog.
For example, see touch_nmi_watchdog() in serial8250_console_write().
It would require synchronization of the begin and length of the ratelimit
interval with the workqueue watchdog. Otherwise, the error messages
might break the watchdog. This does not look worth the complexity.

workqueue: Fix hung time report of worker pools
The workqueue watchdog prints a warning when there is no progress in
a worker pool. Where the progress means that the pool started processing
a pending work item.
Note that it is perfectly fine to process work items much longer.
The progress should be guaranteed by waking up or creating idle
workers.
show_one_worker_pool() prints state of non-idle worker pool. It shows
a delay since the last pool->watchdog_ts.
The timestamp is updated when a first pending work is queued in
__queue_work(). Also it is updated when a work is dequeued for
processing in worker_thread() and rescuer_thread().
The delay is misleading when there is no pending work item. In this
case it shows how long the last work item is being proceed. Show
zero instead. There is no stall if there is no pending work.

workqueue: Make show_pwq() use run-length encoding
The show_pwq() function dumps out a pool_workqueue structure's activity,
including the pending work-queue handlers:
Showing busy workqueues and worker pools:
workqueue events: flags=0x0
pwq 0: cpus=0 node=0 flags=0x1 nice=0 active=10/256 refcnt=11
in-flight: 7:test_work_func, 64:test_work_func, 249:test_work_func
pending: test_work_func, test_work_func, test_work_func1, test_work_func1, test_work_func1, test_work_func1, test_work_func1
When large systems are facing certain types of hang conditions, it is not
unusual for this "pending" list to contain runs of hundreds of identical
function names. This "wall of text" is difficult to read, and worse yet,
it can be interleaved with other output such as stack traces.
Therefore, make show_pwq() use run-length encoding so that the above
printout instead looks like this:
Showing busy workqueues and worker pools:
workqueue events: flags=0x0
pwq 0: cpus=0 node=0 flags=0x1 nice=0 active=10/256 refcnt=11
in-flight: 7:test_work_func, 64:test_work_func, 249:test_work_func
pending: 2*test_work_func, 5*test_work_func1
When no comma would be printed, including the WORK_STRUCT_LINKED case,
a new run is started unconditionally.
This output is more readable, places less stress on the hardware,
firmware, and software on the console-log path, and reduces interference
with other output.

This Kconfig option causes call_rcu() to delay its callbacks in order
to batch them. This means that a given RCU grace period covers more
callbacks, thus reducing the number of grace periods, in turn reducing
the amount of energy consumed, which increases battery lifetime which
can be a very good thing. This is not a subtle effect: In some important
use cases, the battery lifetime is increased by more than 10%.
This CONFIG_RCU_LAZY=y option is available only for CPUs that offload
callbacks, for example, CPUs mentioned in the rcu_nocbs kernel boot
parameter passed to kernels built with CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU=y.
Delaying callbacks is normally not a problem because most callbacks do
nothing but free memory. If the system is short on memory, a shrinker
will kick all currently queued lazy callbacks out of their laziness,
thus freeing their memory in short order. Similarly, the rcu_barrier()
function, which blocks until all currently queued callbacks are invoked,
will also kick lazy callbacks, thus enabling rcu_barrier() to complete
in a timely manner.
However, there are some cases where laziness is not a good option.
For example, synchronize_rcu() invokes call_rcu(), and blocks until
the newly queued callback is invoked. It would not be a good for
synchronize_rcu() to block for ten seconds, even on an idle system.
Therefore, synchronize_rcu() invokes call_rcu_hurry() instead of
call_rcu(). The arrival of a non-lazy call_rcu_hurry() callback on a
given CPU kicks any lazy callbacks that might be already queued on that
CPU. After all, if there is going to be a grace period, all callbacks
might as well get full benefit from it.
Yes, this could be done the other way around by creating a
call_rcu_lazy(), but earlier experience with this approach and
feedback at the 2022 Linux Plumbers Conference shifted the approach
to call_rcu() being lazy with call_rcu_hurry() for the few places
where laziness is inappropriate.
And another call_rcu() instance that cannot be lazy is the one
in queue_rcu_work(), given that callers to queue_rcu_work() are
not necessarily OK with long delays.
Therefore, make queue_rcu_work() use call_rcu_hurry() in order to revert
to the old behavior.

workqueue: Avoid using isolated cpus' timers on queue_delayed_work
When __queue_delayed_work() is called, it chooses a cpu for handling the
timer interrupt. As of today, it will pick either the cpu passed as
parameter or the last cpu used for this.
This is not good if a system does use CPU isolation, because it can take
away some valuable cpu time to:
1 - deal with the timer interrupt,
2 - schedule-out the desired task,
3 - queue work on a random workqueue, and
4 - schedule the desired task back to the cpu.
So to fix this, during __queue_delayed_work(), if cpu isolation is in
place, pick a random non-isolated cpu to handle the timer interrupt.
As an optimization, if the current cpu is not isolated, use it instead
of looking for another candidate.

workqueue_set_unbound_cpumask() static as it is not used elsewhere in

Move workqueue_set_unbound_cpumask() and its helpers inside the

workqueue: Add workqueue_unbound_exclude_cpumask() to exclude CPUs from wq_unbound_cpumask
When the "isolcpus" boot command line option is used to add a set
of isolated CPUs, those CPUs will be excluded automatically from
wq_unbound_cpumask to avoid running work functions from unbound
workqueues.
Recently cpuset has been extended to allow the creation of partitions
of isolated CPUs dynamically. To make it closer to the "isolcpus"
in functionality, the CPUs in those isolated cpuset partitions should be
excluded from wq_unbound_cpumask as well. This can be done currently by
explicitly writing to the workqueue's cpumask sysfs file after creating
the isolated partitions. However, this process can be error prone.
Ideally, the cpuset code should be allowed to request the workqueue code
to exclude those isolated CPUs from wq_unbound_cpumask so that this
operation can be done automatically and the isolated CPUs will be returned
back to wq_unbound_cpumask after the destructions of the isolated
cpuset partitions.
This patch adds a new workqueue_unbound_exclude_cpumask() function to
enable that. This new function will exclude the specified isolated
CPUs from wq_unbound_cpumask. To be able to restore those isolated
CPUs back after the destruction of isolated cpuset partitions, a new
wq_requested_unbound_cpumask is added to store the user provided unbound
cpumask either from the boot command line options or from writing to
the cpumask sysfs file. This new cpumask provides the basis for CPU
exclusion.
To enable users to understand how the wq_unbound_cpumask is being
modified internally, this patch also exposes the newly introduced
wq_requested_unbound_cpumask as well as a wq_isolated_cpumask to
store the cpumask to be excluded from wq_unbound_cpumask as read-only
sysfs files.

workqueue: Override implicit ordered attribute in workqueue_apply_unbound_cpumask()
Commit 5c0338c687 ("workqueue: restore WQ_UNBOUND/max_active==1
to be ordered") enabled implicit ordered attribute to be added to
WQ_UNBOUND workqueues with max_active of 1. This prevented the changing
of attributes to these workqueues leading to fix commit 0a94efb5ac
("workqueue: implicit ordered attribute should be overridable").
However, workqueue_apply_unbound_cpumask() was not updated at that time.
So sysfs changes to wq_unbound_cpumask has no effect on WQ_UNBOUND
workqueues with implicit ordered attribute. Since not all WQ_UNBOUND
workqueues are visible on sysfs, we are not able to make all the
necessary cpumask changes even if we iterates all the workqueue cpumasks
in sysfs and changing them one by one.
Fix this problem by applying the corresponding change made
to apply_workqueue_attrs_locked() in the fix commit to
workqueue_apply_unbound_cpumask().

workqueue: Unbind kworkers before sending them to exit()
It has been reported that isolated CPUs can suffer from interference due to
per-CPU kworkers waking up just to die.
A surge of workqueue activity during initial setup of a latency-sensitive
application (refresh_vm_stats() being one of the culprits) can cause extra
per-CPU kworkers to be spawned. Then, said latency-sensitive task can be
running merrily on an isolated CPU only to be interrupted sometime later by
a kworker marked for death (cf. IDLE_WORKER_TIMEOUT, 5 minutes after last
kworker activity).
Prevent this by affining kworkers to the wq_unbound_cpumask (which doesn't
contain isolated CPUs, cf. HK_TYPE_WQ) before waking them up after marking
them with WORKER_DIE.
Changing the affinity does require a sleepable context, leverage the newly
introduced pool->idle_cull_work to get that.
Remove dying workers from pool->workers and keep track of them in a
separate list. This intentionally prevents for_each_loop_worker() from
iterating over workers that are marked for death.
Rename destroy_worker() to set_working_dying() to better reflect its
effects and relationship with wake_dying_workers().

workqueue: Don't hold any lock while rcuwait'ing for !POOL_MANAGER_ACTIVE
put_unbound_pool() currently passes wq_manager_inactive() as exit condition
to rcuwait_wait_event(), which grabs pool->lock to check for
pool->flags & POOL_MANAGER_ACTIVE
A later patch will require destroy_worker() to be invoked with
wq_pool_attach_mutex held, which needs to be acquired before
pool->lock. A mutex cannot be acquired within rcuwait_wait_event(), as
it could clobber the task state set by rcuwait_wait_event()
Instead, restructure the waiting logic to acquire any necessary lock
outside of rcuwait_wait_event().
Since further work cannot be inserted into unbound pwqs that have reached
->refcnt==0, this is bound to make forward progress as eventually the
worklist will be drained and need_more_worker(pool) will remain false,
preventing any worker from stealing the manager position from us.

that, however this would imply turning all idle_timer expiries into

Instead, implement a "custom dwork" where the timer callback does some

workqueue: don't skip lockdep work dependency in cancel_work_sync()
Like Hillf Danton mentioned
syzbot should have been able to catch cancel_work_sync() in work context
by checking lockdep_map in __flush_work() for both flush and cancel.
in [1], being unable to report an obvious deadlock scenario shown below is
broken. From locking dependency perspective, sync version of cancel request
should behave as if flush request, for it waits for completion of work if
that work has already started execution.
----------
#include <linux/module.h>
#include <linux/sched.h>
static DEFINE_MUTEX(mutex);
static void work_fn(struct work_struct *work)
{
schedule_timeout_uninterruptible(HZ / 5);

mutex_unlock(&mutex);
}

}

----------
The check this patch restores was added by commit 0976dfc1d0
("workqueue: Catch more locking problems with flush_work()").
Then, lockdep's crossrelease feature was added by commit b09be676e0
("locking/lockdep: Implement the 'crossrelease' feature"). As a result,
this check was once removed by commit fd1a5b04df ("workqueue: Remove
now redundant lock acquisitions wrt. workqueue flushes").
But lockdep's crossrelease feature was removed by commit e966eaeeb6
("locking/lockdep: Remove the cross-release locking checks"). At this
point, this check should have been restored.
Then, commit d6e89786be ("workqueue: skip lockdep wq dependency in
cancel_work_sync()") introduced a boolean flag in order to distinguish
flush_work() and cancel_work_sync(), for checking "struct workqueue_struct"
dependency when called from cancel_work_sync() was causing false positives.
Then, commit 87915adc3f ("workqueue: re-add lockdep dependencies for
flushing") tried to restore "struct work_struct" dependency check, but by
error checked this boolean flag. Like an example shown above indicates,
"struct work_struct" dependency needs to be checked for both flush_work()
and cancel_work_sync().

workqueue: Change the comments of the synchronization about the idle_list
The access to idle_list in wq_worker_sleeping() is changed to be
protected by pool->lock, so the comments above idle_list can be changed
to "L:" which is the meaning of "access with pool->lock held".
And the outdated comments in wq_worker_sleeping() is removed since
the function is not called with rq lock held any more, idle_list is
dereferenced with pool lock now.

workqueue: Move the code of waking a worker up in unbind_workers()
In unbind_workers(), there are two pool->lock held sections separated
by the code of zapping nr_running. wake_up_worker() needs to be in
pool->lock held section and after zapping nr_running. And zapping
nr_running had to be after schedule() when the local wake up
functionality was in use. Now, the call to schedule() has been removed
along with the local wake up functionality, so the code can be merged
into the same pool->lock held section.
The diffstat shows that it is other code moved down because the diff
tools can not know the meaning of merging lock sections by swapping
two code blocks.

workqueue: Fix unbind_workers() VS wq_worker_sleeping() race
At CPU-hotplug time, unbind_workers() may preempt a worker while it is
going to sleep. In that case the following scenario can happen:
unbind_workers() wq_worker_sleeping()
-------------- -------------------
if (worker->flags & WORKER_NOT_RUNNING)
return;
//PREEMPTED by unbind_workers
worker->flags |= WORKER_UNBOUND;
[...]
atomic_set(&pool->nr_running, 0);
//resume to worker
atomic_dec_and_test(&pool->nr_running);
After unbind_worker() resets pool->nr_running, the value is expected to
remain 0 until the pool ever gets rebound in case cpu_up() is called on
the target CPU in the future. But here the race leaves pool->nr_running
with a value of -1, triggering the following warning when the worker goes
idle:

workqueue: Wrap flush_workqueue() using a macro
Since flush operation synchronously waits for completion, flushing
system-wide WQs (e.g. system_wq) might introduce possibility of deadlock
due to unexpected locking dependency. Tejun Heo commented at [1] that it
makes no sense at all to call flush_workqueue() on the shared WQs as the
caller has no idea what it's gonna end up waiting for.
Although there is flush_scheduled_work() which flushes system_wq WQ with
"Think twice before calling this function! It's very easy to get into
trouble if you don't take great care." warning message, syzbot found a
circular locking dependency caused by flushing system_wq WQ [2].
Therefore, let's change the direction to that developers had better use
their local WQs if flush_scheduled_work()/flush_workqueue(system_*_wq) is
inevitable.
Steps for converting system-wide WQs into local WQs are explained at [3],
and a conversion to stop flushing system-wide WQs is in progress. Now we
want some mechanism for preventing developers who are not aware of this
conversion from again start flushing system-wide WQs.
Since I found that WARN_ON() is complete but awkward approach for teaching
developers about this problem, let's use __compiletime_warning() for
incomplete but handy approach. For completeness, we will also insert
WARN_ON() into __flush_workqueue() after all in-tree users stopped calling
flush_scheduled_work().

and moved the schedule callback from the wakeup code to at end of
schedule() in the worker's process context.
It means that the callback wq_worker_running() is guaranteed that
it sees the %WORKER_UNBOUND flag after scheduled since unbind_workers()
is running on the same CPU that all the pool's workers bound to.

workqueue: Remove outdated comment about exceptional workers in unbind_workers()
Long time before, workers are not ALL bound after CPU_ONLINE, they can
still be running in other CPUs before self rebinding.
But the commit a9ab775bca ("workqueue: directly restore CPU affinity
of workers from CPU_ONLINE") makes rebind_workers() bind them all.
So all workers are on the CPU before the CPU is down.
And the comment in unbind_workers() refers to the workers "which are
still executing works from before the last CPU down" is outdated.
Just removed it.

The commit 6d25be5782 ("sched/core, workqueues: Distangle worker

and removed the local-wake-up functionality.
Now the wakingup of workers is done by normal fashion and workers not
yet migrated to the specific CPU in concurrency managed pool can also
be woken up by workers that already bound to the specific cpu now.
So this advanced kicking of the idle workers to migrate them to the
associated CPU is unneeded now.

Also due to this incorrect "nr_running == 1", further queued work may
end up not being served, because no worker is awaken at work insert time.
This raises rcutorture writer stalls for example.
Fix this with disabling preemption in the right place in
wq_worker_running().
It's worth noting that if the worker migrates and runs concurrently with
unbind_workers(), it is guaranteed to see the WORKER_UNBOUND flag update
due to set_cpus_allowed_ptr() acquiring/releasing rq->lock.

workqueue: Decouple HK_FLAG_WQ and HK_FLAG_DOMAIN cpumask fetch
To prepare for supporting each feature of the housekeeping cpumask
toward cpuset, prepare each of the HK_FLAG_* entries to move to their
own cpumask with enforcing to fetch them individually. The new
constraint is that multiple HK_FLAG_* entries can't be mixed together
anymore in a single call to housekeeping cpumask().
This will later allow, for example, to runtime modify the cpulist passed

workqueue, kasan: avoid alloc_pages() when recording stack
Shuah Khan reported:
| When CONFIG_PROVE_RAW_LOCK_NESTING=y and CONFIG_KASAN are enabled,
| kasan_record_aux_stack() runs into "BUG: Invalid wait context" when
| it tries to allocate memory attempting to acquire spinlock in page
| allocation code while holding workqueue pool raw_spinlock.
|
| There are several instances of this problem when block layer tries
| to __queue_work(). Call trace from one of these instances is below:
|
| kblockd_mod_delayed_work_on()
| mod_delayed_work_on()
| __queue_delayed_work()
| __queue_work() (rcu_read_lock, raw_spin_lock pool->lock held)
| insert_work()
| kasan_record_aux_stack()
| kasan_save_stack()
| stack_depot_save()
| alloc_pages()
| __alloc_pages()
| get_page_from_freelist()
| rm_queue()
| rm_queue_pcplist()
| local_lock_irqsave(&pagesets.lock, flags);
| [ BUG: Invalid wait context triggered ]
The default kasan_record_aux_stack() calls stack_depot_save() with
GFP_NOWAIT, which in turn can then call alloc_pages(GFP_NOWAIT, ...).
In general, however, it is not even possible to use either GFP_ATOMIC
nor GFP_NOWAIT in certain non-preemptive contexts, including
raw_spin_locks (see gfp.h and commmit ab00db216c).
Fix it by instructing stackdepot to not expand stack storage via
alloc_pages() in case it runs out by using
kasan_record_aux_stack_noalloc().
While there is an increased risk of failing to insert the stack trace,
this is typically unlikely, especially if the same insertion had already
succeeded previously (stack depot hit).
For frequent calls from the same location, it therefore becomes
extremely unlikely that kasan_record_aux_stack_noalloc() fails.

workqueue: Introduce show_one_worker_pool and show_one_workqueue.
Currently show_workqueue_state shows the state of all workqueues and of
all worker pools. In certain cases we may need to dump state of only a
specific workqueue or worker pool. For example in destroy_workqueue we
only need to show state of the workqueue which is getting destroyed.
So rename show_workqueue_state to show_all_workqueues(to signify it
dumps state of all busy workqueues) and divide it into more granular
functions (show_one_workqueue and show_one_worker_pool), that would show
states of individual workqueues and worker pools and can be used in
cases such as the one mentioned above.
Also, as mentioned earlier, make destroy_workqueue dump data pertaining
to only the workqueue that is being destroyed and make user(s) of
earlier interface(show_workqueue_state), use new interface
(show_all_workqueues).

workqueue: fix state-dump console deadlock
Console drivers often queue work while holding locks also taken in their
console write paths, something which can lead to deadlocks on SMP when
dumping workqueue state (e.g. sysrq-t or on suspend failures).
For serial console drivers this could look like:
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
show_workqueue_state();
lock(&pool->lock); <IRQ>
lock(&port->lock);
schedule_work();
lock(&pool->lock);
printk();
lock(console_owner);
lock(&port->lock);
where workqueues are, for example, used to push data to the line
discipline, process break signals and handle modem-status changes. Line
disciplines and serdev drivers can also queue work on write-wakeup
notifications, etc.
Reworking every console driver to avoid queuing work while holding locks
also taken in their write paths would complicate drivers and is neither
desirable or feasible.
Instead use the deferred-printk mechanism to avoid printing while
holding pool locks when dumping workqueue state.
Note that there are a few WARN_ON() assertions in the workqueue code
which could potentially also trigger a deadlock. Hopefully the ongoing
printk rework will provide a general solution for this eventually.
This was originally reported after a lockdep splat when executing
sysrq-t with the imx serial driver.

workqueue: Assign a color to barrier work items
There was no strong reason to or not to flush barrier work items in
flush_workqueue(). And we have to make barrier work items not participate
in nr_active so we had been using WORK_NO_COLOR for them which also makes
them can't be flushed by flush_workqueue().
And the users of flush_workqueue() often do not intend to wait barrier work
items issued by flush_work(). That made the choice sound perfect.
But barrier work items have reference to internal structure (pool_workqueue)
and the worker thread[s] is/are still busy for the workqueue user when the
barrrier work items are not done. So it is reasonable to make flush_workqueue()
also watch for flush_work() to make it more robust.
And a problem[1] reported by Li Zhe shows that we need such robustness.
The warning logs are listed below:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 19336 at kernel/workqueue.c:4430 destroy_workqueue+0x11a/0x2f0
*****
destroy_workqueue: test_workqueue9 has the following busy pwq
pwq 4: cpus=2 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 active=0/1 refcnt=2
in-flight: 5658:wq_barrier_func
Showing busy workqueues and worker pools:
*****
It shows that even after drain_workqueue() returns, the barrier work item
is still in flight and the pwq (and a worker) is still busy on it.
The problem is caused by flush_workqueue() not watching flush_work():
Thread A Worker
/* normal work item with linked */
process_scheduled_works()
destroy_workqueue() process_one_work()
drain_workqueue() /* run normal work item */
/-- pwq_dec_nr_in_flight()
flush_workqueue() <---/
/* the last normal work item is done */
sanity_check process_one_work()
/-- raw_spin_unlock_irq(&pool->lock)
raw_spin_lock_irq(&pool->lock) <-/ /* maybe preempt */
*WARNING* wq_barrier_func()
/* maybe preempt by cond_resched() */
Thread A can get the pool lock after the Worker unlocks the pool lock before
running wq_barrier_func(). And if there is any preemption happen around
wq_barrier_func(), destroy_workqueue()'s sanity check is more likely to
get the lock and catch it. (Note: preemption is not necessary to cause the bug,
the unlocking is enough to possibly trigger the WARNING.)
A simple solution might be just executing all linked barrier work items
once without releasing pool lock after the head work item's
pwq_dec_nr_in_flight(). But this solution has two problems:
1) the head work item might also be barrier work item when the user-queued
work item is cancelled. For example:
thread 1: thread 2:
queue_work(wq, &my_work)
flush_work(&my_work)
cancel_work_sync(&my_work);
/* Neiter my_work nor the barrier work is scheduled. */
destroy_workqueue(wq);
/* This is an easier way to catch the WARNING. */
2) there might be too much linked barrier work items and running them
all once without releasing pool lock just causes trouble.
The only solution is to make flush_workqueue() aslo watch barrier work
items. So we have to assign a color to these barrier work items which
is the color of the head (user-queued) work item.
Assigning a color doesn't cause any problem in ative management, because
the prvious patch made barrier work items not participate in nr_active
via WORK_STRUCT_INACTIVE rather than reliance on the (old) WORK_NO_COLOR.

workqueue: Mark barrier work with WORK_STRUCT_INACTIVE
Currently, WORK_NO_COLOR has two meanings:
Not participate in flushing
Not participate in nr_active
And only non-barrier work items are marked with WORK_STRUCT_INACTIVE
when they are in inactive_works list. The barrier work items are not
marked INACTIVE even linked in inactive_works list since these tail
items are always moved together with the head work item.
These definitions are simple, clean and practical. (Except a small
blemish that only the first meaning of WORK_NO_COLOR is documented in
include/linux/workqueue.h while both meanings are in workqueue.c)
But dual-purpose WORK_NO_COLOR used for barrier work items has proven to
be problematical[1]. Only the second purpose is obligatory. So we plan
to make barrier work items participate in flushing but keep them still
not participating in nr_active.
So the plan is to mark barrier work items inactive without using
WORK_NO_COLOR in this patch so that we can assign a flushing color to
them in next patch.
The reasonable way is to add or reuse a bit in work data of the work
item. But adding a bit will double the size of pool_workqueue.
Currently, WORK_STRUCT_INACTIVE is only used in try_to_grab_pending()
for user-queued work items and try_to_grab_pending() can't work for
barrier work items. So we extend WORK_STRUCT_INACTIVE to also mark
barrier work items no matter which list they are in because we don't
need to determind which list a barrier work item is in.
So the meaning of WORK_STRUCT_INACTIVE becomes just "the work items don't
participate in nr_active" (no matter whether it is a barrier work item or
a user-queued work item). And WORK_STRUCT_INACTIVE for user-queued work
items means they are in inactive_works list.
This patch does it by setting WORK_STRUCT_INACTIVE for barrier work items
in insert_wq_barrier() and checking WORK_STRUCT_INACTIVE first in
pwq_dec_nr_in_flight(). And the meaning of WORK_NO_COLOR is reduced to
only "not participating in flushing".
There is no functionality change intended in this patch. Because
WORK_NO_COLOR+WORK_STRUCT_INACTIVE represents the previous WORK_NO_COLOR
in meaning and try_to_grab_pending() doesn't use for barrier work items
and avoids being confused by this extended WORK_STRUCT_INACTIVE.
A bunch of comment for nr_active & WORK_STRUCT_INACTIVE is also added for
documenting how WORK_STRUCT_INACTIVE works in nr_active management.

workqueue: Rename "delayed" (delayed by active management) to "inactive"
There are two kinds of "delayed" work items in workqueue subsystem.
One is for timer-delayed work items which are visible to workqueue users.
The other kind is for work items delayed by active management which can
not be directly visible to workqueue users. We mixed the word "delayed"
for both kinds and caused somewhat ambiguity.
This patch renames the later one (delayed by active management) to
"inactive", because it is used for workqueue active management and
most of its related symbols are named with "active" or "activate".
All "delayed" and "DELAYED" are carefully checked and renamed one by
one to avoid accidentally changing the name of the other kind for
timer-delayed.
No functional change intended.

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

There is a small chance of misreported WQ stalls in the meantime,
because new jiffies is time_after() old 'ts + thresh'.

Pull CFI on arm64 support from Kees Cook:
"This builds on last cycle's LTO work, and allows the arm64 kernels to
be built with Clang's Control Flow Integrity feature. This feature has
happily lived in Android kernels for almost 3 years[1], so I'm excited
to have it ready for upstream.
The wide diffstat is mainly due to the treewide fixing of mismatched
list_sort prototypes. Other things in core kernel are to address
various CFI corner cases. The largest code portion is the CFI runtime
implementation itself (which will be shared by all architectures
implementing support for CFI). The arm64 pieces are Acked by arm64
maintainers rather than coming through the arm64 tree since carrying
this tree over there was going to be awkward.
CFI support for x86 is still under development, but is pretty close.
There are a handful of corner cases on x86 that need some improvements
to Clang and objtool, but otherwise works well.
Summary:

defined in the module instead of the one used in the core kernel,
which breaks function address equality in this check:
WARN_ON_ONCE(timer->function != delayed_work_timer_fn);
Use WARN_ON_FUNCTION_MISMATCH() instead to disable the warning
when CFI and modules are both enabled.

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

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

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.

Patch series "kasan: add workqueue stack for generic KASAN", v5.
Syzbot reports many UAF issues for workqueue, see [1].
In some of these access/allocation happened in process_one_work(), we
see the free stack is useless in KASAN report, it doesn't help
programmers to solve UAF for workqueue issue.
This patchset improves KASAN reports by making them to have workqueue
queueing stack. It is useful for programmers to solve use-after-free or
double-free memory issue.
Generic KASAN also records the last two workqueue stacks and prints them
in KASAN report. It is only suitable for generic KASAN.
[1] https://groups.google.com/g/syzkaller-bugs/search?q=%22use-after-free%22+process_one_work
[2] https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=198437
This patch (of 4):
When analyzing use-after-free or double-free issue, recording the
enqueuing work stacks is helpful to preserve usage history which
potentially gives a hint about the affected code.
For workqueue it has turned out to be useful to record the enqueuing work
call stacks. Because user can see KASAN report to determine whether it is
root cause. They don't need to enable debugobjects, but they have a
chance to find out the root cause.

In realtime scenario, We do not want to have interference on the
isolated cpu cores. but when invoking alloc_workqueue() for percpu wq
on the housekeeping cpu, it kick a kworker on the isolated cpu.
alloc_workqueue
pwq_adjust_max_active
wake_up_worker
The comment in pwq_adjust_max_active() said:
"Need to kick a worker after thawed or an unbound wq's
max_active is bumped"
So it is unnecessary to kick a kworker for percpu's wq when invoking
alloc_workqueue(). this patch only kick a worker based on the actual

The workqueue code has it's internal spinlocks (pool::lock), which
are acquired on most workqueue operations. These spinlocks are
converted to 'sleeping' spinlocks on a RT-kernel.
Workqueue functions can be invoked from contexts which are truly atomic
even on a PREEMPT_RT enabled kernel. Taking sleeping locks from such
contexts is forbidden.
The pool::lock hold times are bound and the code sections are
relatively short, which allows to convert pool::lock and as a
consequence wq_mayday_lock to raw spinlocks which are truly spinning
locks even on a PREEMPT_RT kernel.
With the previous conversion of the manager waitqueue to a simple

Workqueue functions can be invoked from contexts which are truly atomic

pool::lock can be converted to a raw spinlock as the lock held times
are short. But the workqueue manager waitqueue is handled inside of
pool::lock held regions which again violates the lock nesting rules
of raw and regular spinlocks.
The manager waitqueue has no special requirements like custom wakeup
callbacks or mass wakeups. While it does not use exclusive wait mode
explicitly there is no strict requirement to queue the waiters in a
particular order as there is only one waiter at a time.
This allows to replace the waitqueue with rcuwait which solves the
locking problem because rcuwait relies on existing locking.

if (!->sleeping) return
In this context the warning is pointless everything is fine.
An interrupt before wq_worker_sleeping() will perform the ->sleeping
assignment (0 -> 1 > 0) twice.
An interrupt after wq_worker_sleeping() will trigger the warning and
nr_running will be decremented (by A) and incremented once (only by B, A
will skip it). This is the case until the ->sleeping is zeroed again in
wq_worker_running().
Remove the WARN statement because this condition may happen. Document
that preemption around wq_worker_sleeping() needs to be disabled to
protect ->sleeping and not just as an optimisation.

wq_select_unbound_cpu() is designed for unbound workqueues only, but
it's wrongly called when using a bound workqueue too.
Fixing this ensures work queued to a bound workqueue with
cpu=WORK_CPU_UNBOUND always runs on the local CPU.
Before, that would happen only if wq_unbound_cpumask happened to include
it (likely almost always the case), or was empty, or we got lucky with
forced round-robin placement. So restricting
/sys/devices/virtual/workqueue/cpumask to a small subset of a machine's
CPUs would cause some bound work items to run unexpectedly there.

It's surprising that workqueue_execute_end includes only the work when
its counterpart workqueue_execute_start has both the work and the worker

You can't set a tracing filter or trigger based on the function, and
postprocessing scripts interested in specific functions are harder to
write since they have to remember the work from _start and match it up
with the same field in _end.
Add the function name, taking care to use the copy stashed in the

has a couple issues.
* Mayday list queueing increments pwq's refcnts which gets detected as
busy and fails the sanity checks. However, because mayday list
queueing is asynchronous, this condition can happen without any
actual work items left in the workqueue.
* Sanity check failure leaves the sysfs interface behind too which can
lead to init failure of newer instances of the workqueue.
This patch fixes the above two by
* If a workqueue has a rescuer, disable and kill the rescuer before
sanity checks. Disabling and killing is guaranteed to flush the
existing mayday list.
* Remove sysfs interface before sanity checks.

The worker accounting for CPU bound workers is plugged into the core
scheduler code and the wakeup code. This is not a hard requirement and
can be avoided by keeping track of the state in the workqueue code
itself.
Keep track of the sleeping state in the worker itself and call the
notifier before entering the core scheduler. There might be false
positives when the task is woken between that call and actually
scheduling, but that's not really different from scheduling and being
woken immediately after switching away. When nr_running is updated when
the task is retunrning from schedule() then it is later compared when it
is done from ttwu().

There is no need for sched_rcu. The undocumented reason why sched_rcu
is used is to avoid a few explicit rcu_read_lock()/unlock() pairs by
the fact that sched_rcu reader side critical sections are also protected
by preempt or irq disabled regions.
Replace rcu_read_lock_sched with rcu_read_lock and acquire the RCU lock
where it is not yet explicit acquired. Replace local_irq_disable() with
rcu_read_lock(). Update asserts.

The following commit:
87915adc3f ("workqueue: re-add lockdep dependencies for flushing")
improved deadlock checking in the workqueue implementation. Unfortunately
that patch also introduced a few false positive lockdep complaints.
This patch suppresses these false positives by allocating the workqueue mutex
lockdep key dynamically.
An example of a false positive lockdep complaint suppressed by this patch
can be found below. The root cause of the lockdep complaint shown below
is that the direct I/O code can call alloc_workqueue() from inside a work
item created by another alloc_workqueue() call and that both workqueues
share the same lockdep key. This patch avoids that that lockdep complaint
is triggered by allocating the work queue lockdep keys dynamically.
In other words, this patch guarantees that a unique lockdep key is
associated with each work queue mutex.

[ Reworked the changelog a bit. ]
Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
psi has provisions to shut off the periodic aggregation worker when
there is a period of no task activity - and thus no data that needs
aggregating. However, while developing psi monitoring, Suren noticed
that the aggregation clock currently won't stay shut off for good.
Debugging this revealed a flaw in the idle design: an aggregation run
will see no task activity and decide to go to sleep; shortly thereafter,
the kworker thread that executed the aggregation will go idle and cause
a scheduling change, during which the psi callback will kick the
!pending worker again. This will ping-pong forever, and is equivalent
to having no shut-off logic at all (but with more code!)
Fix this by exempting aggregation workers from psi's clock waking logic
when the state change is them going to sleep. To do this, tag workers
with the last work function they executed, and if in psi we see a worker
going to sleep after aggregating psi data, we will not reschedule the
aggregation work item.
What if the worker is also executing other items before or after?
Any psi state times that were incurred by work items preceding the
aggregation work will have been collected from the per-cpu buckets
during the aggregation itself. If there are work items following the
aggregation work, the worker's last_func tag will be overwritten and the
aggregator will be kept alive to process this genuine new activity.
If the aggregation work is the last thing the worker does, and we decide
to go idle, the brief period of non-idle time incurred between the
aggregation run and the kworker's dequeue will be stranded in the
per-cpu buckets until the clock is woken by later activity. But that
should not be a problem. The buckets can hold 4s worth of time, and
future activity will wake the clock with a 2s delay, giving us 2s worth
of data we can leave behind when disabling aggregation. If it takes a
worker more than two seconds to go idle after it finishes its last work
item, we likely have bigger problems in the system, and won't notice one
sample that was averaged with a bogus per-CPU weight.

Provide a new function, queue_work_node, which is meant to schedule work on
a "random" CPU of the requested NUMA node. The main motivation for this is
to help assist asynchronous init to better improve boot times for devices
that are local to a specific node.
For now we just default to the first CPU that is in the intersection of the
cpumask of the node and the online cpumask. The only exception is if the
CPU is local to the node we will just use the current CPU. This should work
for our purposes as we are currently only using this for unbound work so
the CPU will be translated to a node anyway instead of being directly used.
As we are only using the first CPU to represent the NUMA node for now I am
limiting the scope of the function so that it can only be used with unbound
workqueues.

set ->func field to non-zero, let's warn if ->func field is zero.

Now that call_rcu()'s callback is not invoked until after all
preempt-disable regions of code have completed (in addition to explicitly
marked RCU read-side critical sections), call_rcu() can be used in place
of call_rcu_sched(). This commit therefore makes that change.

Some architectures need to use stop_machine() to patch functions for
ftrace, and the assumption is that the stopped CPUs do not make function
calls to traceable functions when they are in the stopped state.
Commit ce4f06dcbb ("stop_machine: Touch_nmi_watchdog() after
MULTI_STOP_PREPARE") added calls to the watchdog touch functions from
the stopped CPUs and those functions lack notrace annotations. This
leads to crashes when enabling/disabling ftrace on ARM kernels built
with the Thumb-2 instruction set.
Fix it by adding the necessary notrace annotations.

Pull workqueue updates from Tejun Heo:
"Over the lockdep cross-release churn, workqueue lost some of the
existing annotations. Johannes Berg restored it and also improved
them"
* 'for-4.19' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq:
workqueue: re-add lockdep dependencies for flushing
workqueue: skip lockdep wq dependency in cancel_work_sync()
In flush_work(), we need to create a lockdep dependency so that
the following scenario is appropriately tagged as a problem:
work_function()
{
mutex_lock(&mutex);
...
}
other_function()
{
mutex_lock(&mutex);
flush_work(&work); // or cancel_work_sync(&work);
}
This is a problem since the work might be running and be blocked
on trying to acquire the mutex.
Similarly, in flush_workqueue().
These were removed after cross-release partially caught these
problems, but now cross-release was reverted anyway. IMHO the
removal was erroneous anyway though, since lockdep should be
able to catch potential problems, not just actual ones, and
cross-release would only have caught the problem when actually
invoking wait_for_completion().

In cancel_work_sync(), we can only have one of two cases, even
with an ordered workqueue:
* the work isn't running, just cancelled before it started
* the work is running, but then nothing else can be on the
workqueue before it
Thus, we need to skip the lockdep workqueue dependency handling,
otherwise we get false positive reports from lockdep saying that
we have a potential deadlock when the workqueue also has other
work items with locking, e.g.
work1_function() { mutex_lock(&mutex); ... }
work2_function() { /* nothing */ }
other_function() {
queue_work(ordered_wq, &work1);
queue_work(ordered_wq, &work2);
mutex_lock(&mutex);
cancel_work_sync(&work2);
}
As described above, this isn't a problem, but lockdep will
currently flag it as if cancel_work_sync() was flush_work(),
which *is* a problem.

This is mostly updates to the usual drivers: ufs, qedf, mpt3sas, lpfc,
xfcp, hisi_sas, cxlflash, qla2xxx. In the absence of Nic, we're also
taking target updates which are mostly minor except for the tcmu
refactor. The only real core change to worry about is the removal of
high page bouncing (in sas, storvsc and iscsi). This has been well
tested and no problems have shown up so far.

Pull overflow updates from Kees Cook:
"This adds the new overflow checking helpers and adds them to the
2-factor argument allocators. And this adds the saturating size
helpers and does a treewide replacement for the struct_size() usage.
Additionally this adds the overflow testing modules to make sure
everything works.
I'm still working on the treewide replacements for allocators with
"simple" multiplied arguments:
*alloc(a * b, ...) -> *alloc_array(a, b, ...)
and
*zalloc(a * b, ...) -> *calloc(a, b, ...)
as well as the more complex cases, but that's separable from this
portion of the series. I expect to have the rest sent before -rc1
closes; there are a lot of messy cases to clean up.
Summary:
- Introduce arithmetic overflow test helper functions (Rasmus)
- Use overflow helpers in 2-factor allocators (Kees, Rasmus)
- Introduce overflow test module (Rasmus, Kees)
- Introduce saturating size helper functions (Matthew, Kees)
- Treewide use of struct_size() for allocators (Kees)"
