There are users which want to drain workqueues without destroying it.
Separate out drain functionality from destroy_workqueue() into
drain_workqueue() and make it accessible to workqueue users.
To guarantee forward-progress, only chain queueing is allowed while
drain is in progress. If a new work item which isn't chained from the
running or pending work items is queued while draining is in progress,
WARN_ON_ONCE() is triggered.

cwq->nr_active is used to keep track of how many work items are active
for the cpu workqueue, where 'active' is defined as either pending on
global worklist or executing. This is used to implement the
max_active limit and workqueue freezing. If a work item is queued
after nr_active has already reached max_active, the work item doesn't
increment nr_active and is put on the delayed queue and gets activated
later as previous active work items retire.
try_to_grab_pending() which is used in the cancellation path
unconditionally decremented nr_active whether the work item being
cancelled is currently active or delayed, so cancelling a delayed work
item makes nr_active underflow. This breaks max_active enforcement
and triggers BUG_ON() in destroy_workqueue() later on.
This patch fixes this bug by adding a flag WORK_STRUCT_DELAYED, which
is set while a work item in on the delayed list and making
try_to_grab_pending() decrement nr_active iff the work item is
currently active.
The addition of the flag enlarges cwq alignment to 256 bytes which is
getting a bit too large. It's scheduled to be reduced back to 128
bytes by merging WORK_STRUCT_PENDING and WORK_STRUCT_CWQ in the next

several BUG_ON()s to catch these cases. Unfortunately, BUG_ON()

flush_workqueue().
This patch adds WQ_DYING which is set before the final flush begins.
If a work is requested to be queued on a dying workqueue,
WARN_ON_ONCE() is triggered and the request is ignored. This clearly
indicates which caller is trying to queue a work on a dying workqueue
and keeps the system working in most cases.

Once a work starts execution, its data contains the cpu number it was
on instead of pointing to cwq. This is added by commit 7a22ad75
(workqueue: carry cpu number in work data once execution starts) to
reliably determine the work was last on even if the workqueue itself
was destroyed inbetween.
Whether data points to a cwq or contains a cpu number was
distinguished by comparing the value against PAGE_OFFSET. The
assumption was that a cpu number should be below PAGE_OFFSET while a
pointer to cwq should be above it. However, on architectures which
use separate address spaces for user and kernel spaces, this doesn't
hold as PAGE_OFFSET is zero.
Fix it by using an explicit flag, WORK_STRUCT_CWQ, to mark what the
data field contains. If the flag is set, it's pointing to a cwq;
otherwise, it contains a cpu number.

WQ_SINGLE_CPU combined with @max_active of 1 is used to achieve full
ordering among works queued to a workqueue. The same can be achieved
using WQ_UNBOUND as unbound workqueues always use the gcwq for
WORK_CPU_UNBOUND. As @max_active is always one and benefits from cpu
locality isn't accessible anyway, serving them with unbound workqueues
should be fine.
Drop WQ_SINGLE_CPU support and use WQ_UNBOUND instead. Note that most

Instead of creating a worker for each cwq and putting it into the
shared pool, manage per-cpu workers dynamically.
Works aren't supposed to be cpu cycle hogs and maintaining just enough
concurrency to prevent work processing from stalling due to lack of
processing context is optimal. gcwq keeps the number of concurrent
active workers to minimum but no less. As long as there's one or more
running workers on the cpu, no new worker is scheduled so that works
can be processed in batch as much as possible but when the last
running worker blocks, gcwq immediately schedules new worker so that
the cpu doesn't sit idle while there are works to be processed.
gcwq always keeps at least single idle worker around. When a new
worker is necessary and the worker is the last idle one, the worker
assumes the role of "manager" and manages the worker pool -
ie. creates another worker. Forward-progress is guaranteed by having
dedicated rescue workers for workqueues which may be necessary while
creating a new worker. When the manager is having problem creating a
new worker, mayday timer activates and rescue workers are summoned to
the cpu and execute works which might be necessary to create new
workers.
Trustee is expanded to serve the role of manager while a CPU is being
taken down and stays down. As no new works are supposed to be queued
on a dead cpu, it just needs to drain all the existing ones. Trustee
continues to try to create new workers and summon rescuers as long as
there are pending works. If the CPU is brought back up while the
trustee is still trying to drain the gcwq from the previous offlining,
the trustee will kill all idles ones and tell workers which are still
busy to rebind to the cpu, and pass control over to gcwq which assumes
the manager role as necessary.
Concurrency managed worker pool reduces the number of workers
drastically. Only workers which are necessary to keep the processing
going are created and kept. Also, it reduces cache footprint by
avoiding unnecessarily switching contexts between different workers.
Please note that this patch does not increase max_active of any
workqueue. All workqueues can still only process one work per cpu.

To implement non-reentrant workqueue, the last gcwq a work was
executed on must be reliably obtainable as long as the work structure
is valid even if the previous workqueue has been destroyed.
To achieve this, work->data will be overloaded to carry the last cpu
number once execution starts so that the previous gcwq can be located
reliably. This means that cwq can't be obtained from work after
execution starts but only gcwq.
Implement set_work_{cwq|cpu}(), get_work_[g]cwq() and
clear_work_data() to set work data to the cpu number when starting
execution, access the overloaded work data and clear it after
cancellation.
queue_delayed_work_on() is updated to preserve the last cpu while
in-flight in timer and other callers which depended on getting cwq
from work after execution starts are converted to depend on gcwq
instead.

Reimplement st (single thread) workqueue so that it's friendly to
shared worker pool. It was originally implemented by confining st
workqueues to use cwq of a fixed cpu and always having a worker for
the cpu. This implementation isn't very friendly to shared worker
pool and suboptimal in that it ends up crossing cpu boundaries often.
Reimplement st workqueue using dynamic single cpu binding and
cwq->limit. WQ_SINGLE_THREAD is replaced with WQ_SINGLE_CPU. In a
single cpu workqueue, at most single cwq is bound to the wq at any
given time. Arbitration is done using atomic accesses to
wq->single_cpu when queueing a work. Once bound, the binding stays
till the workqueue is drained.
Note that the binding is never broken while a workqueue is frozen.
This is because idle cwqs may have works waiting in delayed_works
queue while frozen. On thaw, the cwq is restarted if there are any
delayed works or unbound otherwise.
When combined with max_active limit of 1, single cpu workqueue has
exactly the same execution properties as the original single thread
workqueue while allowing sharing of per-cpu workers.

* On freeze, all cwq->max_active's are quenched to zero. Freezing is
complete when nr_active on all cwqs reach zero.
* On thaw, all cwq->max_active's are restored to wq->saved_max_active

Add cwq->nr_active, cwq->max_active and cwq->delayed_work. nr_active
counts the number of active works per cwq. A work is active if it's
flushable (colored) and is on cwq's worklist. If nr_active reaches
max_active, new works are queued on cwq->delayed_work and activated
later as works on the cwq complete and decrement nr_active.
cwq->max_active can be specified via the new @max_active parameter to
__create_workqueue() and is set to 1 for all workqueues for now. As
each cwq has only single worker now, this double queueing doesn't

Reimplement workqueue flushing using color coded works. wq has the
current work color which is painted on the works being issued via
cwqs. Flushing a workqueue is achieved by advancing the current work
colors of cwqs and waiting for all the works which have any of the
previous colors to drain.
Currently there are 16 possible colors, one is reserved for no color
and 15 colors are useable allowing 14 concurrent flushes. When color
space gets full, flush attempts are batched up and processed together
when color frees up, so even with many concurrent flushers, the new
implementation won't build up huge queue of flushers which has to be
processed one after another.
Only works which are queued via __queue_work() are colored. Works
which are directly put on queue using insert_work() use NO_COLOR and
don't participate in workqueue flushing. Currently only works used
for work-specific flush fall in this category.
This new implementation leaves only cleanup_workqueue_thread() as the
user of flush_cpu_workqueue(). Just make its users use
flush_workqueue() and kthread_stop() directly and kill
cleanup_workqueue_thread(). As workqueue flushing doesn't use barrier
request anymore, the comment describing the complex synchronization
around it in cleanup_workqueue_thread() is removed together with the
function.
This new implementation is to allow having and sharing multiple
workers per cpu.
Please note that one more bit is reserved for a future work flag by
this patch. This is to avoid shifting bits and updating comments

work->data field is used for two purposes. It points to cwq it's
queued on and the lower bits are used for flags. Currently, two bits
are reserved which is always safe as 4 byte alignment is guaranteed on
every architecture. However, future changes will need more flag bits.
On SMP, the percpu allocator is capable of honoring larger alignment
(there are other users which depend on it) and larger alignment works
just fine. On UP, percpu allocator is a thin wrapper around
kzalloc/kfree() and don't honor alignment request.
This patch introduces WORK_STRUCT_FLAG_BITS and implements
alloc/free_cwqs() which guarantees max(1 << WORK_STRUCT_FLAG_BITS,
__alignof__(unsigned long long) alignment both on SMP and UP. On SMP,
simply wrapping percpu allocator is enough. On UP, extra space is
allocated so that cwq can be aligned and the original pointer can be
stored after it which is used in the free path.

It is a fairly common operation to have a pointer to a work and to need a
pointer to the delayed work it is contained in. In particular, all
delayed works which want to rearm themselves will have to do that. So it
would seem fair to offer a helper function for this operation.

Impact: Fix debugobjects warning
debugobject enabled kernels spit out a warning in hpet code due to a
workqueue which is initialized on stack.
Add INIT_WORK_ON_STACK() which calls init_timer_on_stack() and use it
in hpet.

Alexander Beregalov reported that this warning is caused by the HPET code:
> hpet0: at MMIO 0xfed00000, IRQs 2, 8, 0
> hpet0: 3 comparators, 64-bit 14.318180 MHz counter
> ODEBUG: object is on stack, but not annotated
> ------------[ cut here ]------------

The commit is fine - but the on-stack workqueue entry needs annotation.

Impact: introduce new APIs
We want to deprecate cpumasks on the stack, as we are headed for
gynormous numbers of CPUs. Eventually, we want to head towards an
undefined 'struct cpumask' so they can never be declared on stack.
1) New cpumask functions which take pointers instead of copies.
(cpus_* -> cpumask_*)
2) Several new helpers to reduce requirements for temporary cpumasks
(cpumask_first_and, cpumask_next_and, cpumask_any_and)
3) Helpers for declaring cpumasks on or offstack for large NR_CPUS
(cpumask_var_t, alloc_cpumask_var and free_cpumask_var)
4) 'struct cpumask' for explicitness and to mark new-style code.
5) Make iterator functions stop at nr_cpu_ids (a runtime constant),
not NR_CPUS for time efficiency and for smaller dynamic allocations
in future.
6) cpumask_copy() so we can allocate less than a full cpumask eventually
(for alloc_cpumask_var), and so we can eliminate the 'struct cpumask'
definition eventually.
7) work_on_cpu() helper for doing task on a CPU, rather than saving old
cpumask for current thread and manipulating it.
8) smp_call_function_many() which is smp_call_function_mask() except
taking a cpumask pointer.
Note that this patch simply introduces the new functions and leaves
the obsolescent ones in place. This is to simplify the transition
patches.
