Subject: [patch V9 02/39] rcu: Abstract out rcu_irq_enter_check_tick() from rcu_nmi_enter()
Date: Thu, 21 May 2020 22:05:15 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200521202116.996113173@linutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20200521200513.656533920@linutronix.de
From: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org>
There will likely be exception handlers that can sleep, which rules
out the usual approach of invoking rcu_nmi_enter() on entry and also
rcu_nmi_exit() on all exit paths. However, the alternative approach of
just not calling anything can prevent RCU from coaxing quiescent states
from nohz_full CPUs that are looping in the kernel: RCU must instead
IPI them explicitly. It would be better to enable the scheduler tick
on such CPUs to interact with RCU in a lighter-weight manner, and this
enabling is one of the things that rcu_nmi_enter() currently does.
What is needed is something that helps RCU coax quiescent states while
not preventing subsequent sleeps. This commit therefore splits out the
nohz_full scheduler-tick enabling from the rest of the rcu_nmi_enter()
logic into a new function named rcu_irq_enter_check_tick().
[ tglx: Renamed the function and made it a nop when context tracking is off ]

+ * __rcu_irq_enter_check_tick - Enable scheduler tick on CPU if RCU needs it.
+ *
+ * The scheduler tick is not normally enabled when CPUs enter the kernel
+ * from nohz_full userspace execution. After all, nohz_full userspace
+ * execution is an RCU quiescent state and the time executing in the kernel
+ * is quite short. Except of course when it isn't. And it is not hard to
+ * cause a large system to spend tens of seconds or even minutes looping
+ * in the kernel, which can cause a number of problems, include RCU CPU
+ * stall warnings.
+ *
+ * Therefore, if a nohz_full CPU fails to report a quiescent state
+ * in a timely manner, the RCU grace-period kthread sets that CPU's
+ * ->rcu_urgent_qs flag with the expectation that the next interrupt or
+ * exception will invoke this function, which will turn on the scheduler
+ * tick, which will enable RCU to detect that CPU's quiescent states,
+ * for example, due to cond_resched() calls in CONFIG_PREEMPT=n kernels.
+ * The tick will be disabled once a quiescent state is reported for
+ * this CPU.
+ *
+ * Of course, in carefully tuned systems, there might never be an
+ * interrupt or exception. In that case, the RCU grace-period kthread
+ * will eventually cause one to happen. However, in less carefully
+ * controlled environments, this function allows RCU to get what it
+ * needs without creating otherwise useless interruptions.
