[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

Hi,

	Please consider pulling into the linux-4.11.y-rt branch,

	It was tested with a simple netperf script found below (that I
intercepted from PeterZ :-)), systems with default kernel tunables, with
the following results:

[PATCH 1/2] IB/hfi1: Use preempt_{dis,en}able_nort()

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

sc_buffer_alloc() disables preemption that will be reenabled by either
pio_copy() or seg_pio_copy_end(). But before disabling preemption it
grabs a spin lock that will be dropped after it disables preemption,
which ends up triggering a warning in migrate_disable() later on.

    spin_lock_irqsave(&sc->alloc_lock)
      migrate_disable() ++p->migrate_disable -> 2
    preempt_disable()
    spin_unlock_irqrestore(&sc->alloc_lock)
      migrate_enable() in_atomic(), so just returns, migrate_disable stays at 2
    spin_lock_irqsave(some other lock) -> b00m

And the WARN_ON code ends up tripping over this over and over in
log_store().

Sequence captured via ftrace_dump_on_oops + crash utility 'dmesg'
command.

According to a discussion (see Link: below) on the linux-rt-users
mailing list, this locking is done for performance reasons, not for
correctness, so use the _nort() variants to avoid the above problem.

[PATCH 2/2] IB/hfi1: Handle packets in the theaded handler only

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

The hfi1 driver calls request_threaded_irq with two parameters:

      handler = receive_context_interrupt;
      thread = receive_context_thread;
      request_threaded_irq(me->msix.vector, handler, thread, 0, me->name, arg);

And tries to process packets on the hard irq one, receive_context_interrupt(),
only waking up the thread (returning IRQ_WAKE_THREAD) when some threshold is
crossed in the number of packets available in the NIC, trying to balance
latency and bandwidth.

But in a CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT_FULL kernel it ends up calling spin locks from the
hard irq handler (receive_context_interrupt) which causes BUGs like this:

To get it to work on RT just keep the prologue that clears the chip receive
interrupt and immediately return IRQ_WAKE_THREAD, deferring all packet
processing, with its locking, to the thread.

With this test systems are able to pass traffic over this hardware using a
CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT_FULL patched kernel without triggering these BUGs.

Have you tried this on RT w/ CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT?  I believe that the
this_cpu_* operations perform a preemption check, which we'd trip.

You may also have to change these to the non-preempt checked variants.

Have you tried this on RT w/ CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT?  I believe that the
this_cpu_* operations perform a preemption check, which we'd trip.

You may also have to change these to the non-preempt checked variants.

Good point. Changing this to migrate_disable() would do the trick.

Wouldn't we still trip the preempt check even with migration disabled?
In another thread I asked the same question: should the preemption
checks here be converted to migration-checks in RT?

Is it a "preemption check"? Getting a cpu # should only care about
migration. This isn't the same as a rcu_sched check is it? That does
care about preemption.

Sorry if I was unclear, more precisely: the this_cpu_* family of
accessors, w/ CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT currently spits out a warning when
the caller is invoked in a context where preemption is enabled.

The check is shared w/ the smp_processor_id() check, as implemented in
lib/smp_processor_id.c.  It effectively boils down to a check of
preempt_count() and irqs_disabled().

I think we're agreeing? :)

This is something totally different, I think.

Sorry if I was unclear, more precisely: the this_cpu_* family of
accessors, w/ CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT currently spits out a warning when
the caller is invoked in a context where preemption is enabled.

The check is shared w/ the smp_processor_id() check, as implemented in
lib/smp_processor_id.c.  It effectively boils down to a check of
preempt_count() and irqs_disabled().

I think we're agreeing? :)

This is something totally different, I think.

Except that on RT that check cares about the migrate disable state. You can
invoke this_cpu_* and smp_processor_id() in preemptible/interruptible
context because of:

	if (cpumask_equal(current->cpus_ptr, cpumask_of(this_cpu)))
		goto out;

That's true even on mainline.

But you are right that this check needs some update because
migrate_disable() does not immediately update the allowed cpumask IIRC.

If I am not mistaken current devel-tree of RT (and a few releases before

please replace the preempt_disable() / enable with local_lock() /
unlock. The section does not look like it could cope with multiple users
dereferencing / using the same per-CPU variables.

Actually, I think it does:

   migrate_disable() ->
      p = current;
      ...
      migrate_disable_update_cpus_allowed(p) ->
          p->cpus_ptr = cpumask_of(smp_processor_id())
      ...

Perhaps it's worth a simple comment update, below.

Subject: [PATCH] kernel: sched: document smp_processor_id/this_cpu safety in
 migration-disabled context

On RT, users of smp_processor_id() and this_cpu_*() per-cpu accessors
are considered safe if the caller executes with migration disabled.  On
!RT, preempt_disable() is sufficient to make this guarantee, however on
RT, the lesser migrate_disable() is sufficient.

It is not entirely obvious which check in check_preemption_disabled()
makes this work, so document it.

Humm, looking at include/linux/percpu-defs.h on v4.11.12-rt14 I see

	raw_cpu_add(pcp, val);						\
})
#define __this_cpu_inc(pcp)		__this_cpu_add(pcp, 1)

/*

#define this_cpu_add(pcp, val)          __pcpu_size_call(this_cpu_add_, pcp, val)

So __this_cpu_inc() checks preemption but this_cpu_inc() doesn't and
thus we're ok here? Or am I getting lost in this maze of defines? :-)

I think I was the one lost in the maze.  You are correct.  Sorry for the
confusion.

My mind expected that the __ prefixed versions would be the "raw"
versions that are free of checks, with the checks made in the non
prefixed versions, but it is the other way around.

I'm happy to accept that the bug is within my mind.

Ok, now I'm taking the opportunity to read more about local locks, as
Sebastian thinks are needed in this case, which I'm not entirely
convinced from the discussion that took place here, and as you took part
in that discussion and suggested using the nort variants of
preempt_disable, do you still think this is the way to go?

Looking at
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/32E1700B9017364D9B60AED9960492BC3441B3BD@fmsmsx120.amr.corp.intel.com

I'm thinking it is fine to convert the preempt_disable() just to
preempt_disable_nort() (where it's a nop when PREEMPT_RT is enabled).
In the mentioned thread, the counters do not seem to be important to
the current CPU, just that they get incremented by "some" CPU.

Adding back the patch for Mike:

The above will only disable preemption when PREEMPT_RT is not enabled.
Honestly, if it's just an optimization, and the counters are not that
important, do we care on non PREEMPT_RT to disable preemption, and can
we just remove the preempt_disable() totally? Depending if it triggers
warnings using this_cpu_inc/dec() from preempt enabled regions.

ignore me, there is a spin_lock to protect that…

Right, and so far there were no strong objection for this one to be

Mike has been working with these developers off list and has provided a 
slightly different approach. I'm going to let them drive that before I 
add an RB/Ack here.

This may not even be needed, i.e. Sebastian Siewior said that recent
rt patches already identify the way this driver uses threaded interrupts
and automagically does the right thing, Sebastian?

He mentioned this in this message:

https://marc.info/?l=linux-rt-users&m=150722087514307&w=2

But I replied to Mike and don't recall getting an answer to my last
question.

Meanwhile a kernel with these two patches survived the original bug
reported at Red Hat's bugzilla.

correct, since 4.1.7-rt8

I am still curious about the performance improvement that is with this
preempt disable section compared to without it compared to !PREEMPT
kernel..
If that is important then migrate_disable() would do that on RT.
I guess that there were no splat with CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT ?
If that is all okay, please resend the patch with the explanation why
this preempt_disable() does not matter and I pick it up.

I can try that

I haven't tried that

I can just pick the explanation given by the authors and stash it there,
I guess.
