[PATCH] mm/swap.c: workaround for_each_cpu() bug on UP kernel.

[PATCH] mm/swap.c: workaround for_each_cpu() bug on UP kernel.

[Tetsuo Handa]

Since for_each_cpu(cpu, mask) added by commit 2d3854a37e8b767a ("cpumask:
introduce new API, without changing anything") did not evaluate the mask
argument if NR_CPUS == 1 due to CONFIG_SMP=n, lru_add_drain_all() is
hitting WARN_ON() at __flush_work() added by commit 4d43d395fed12463
("workqueue: Try to catch flush_work() without INIT_WORK().")
by unconditionally calling flush_work() [1].

We should fix for_each_cpu() etc. but we need enough grace period for
allowing people to test and fix unexpected behaviors including build
failures. Therefore, this patch temporarily duplicates flush_work() for
NR_CPUS == 1 case. This patch will be reverted after for_each_cpu() etc.
are fixed.

I agree with the fix/workaround. I tried a complete build with fixed macros,
but that doesn't work because (at least) x86 assumes that the "mask" parameter
is _not_ evaluated for non-SMP builds - arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cacheinfo.c
passes cpu_llc_shared_mask(cpu) as parameter, and that is only defined
for SMP builds.

On the plus side, I did not find any other issues, but that doesn't mean
much since various build and boot tests in -next fail for other reasons.

[William Kucharski]

Would you mind adding a comment explaining this?

That way if, for some reason, the patch isn't reverted in a timely manner, anyone
stumbling upon the code knows why it's done the way it is without having to track
down this mail thread.

This patch is ugly as hell! I do agree that for_each_cpu not working on
CONFIG_SMP=n sucks but why do we even care about lru_add_drain_all when
there is a single cpu? Why don't we simply do

If there is no need to evaluate the "if" conditions, I'm fine with this shortcut.

lru_add_drain does drain only pagevecs which have pages and so we do not
really have to duplicate the check. There is also no need to defer the
execution to the workqueue for a local cpu. So we are left with only the
lock to prevent parallel execution but the preemption disabling acts the
same purpose on UP so the approach should be equivalent from the
correctness point of view.

The patch with the full changelog follows:


From db104f132bd6e1c02ecbe65e62c12caa7e4e2e2a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com>
Date: Tue, 12 Feb 2019 12:25:28 +0100
Subject: [PATCH] mm: handle lru_add_drain_all for UP properly

Since for_each_cpu(cpu, mask) added by commit 2d3854a37e8b767a ("cpumask:
introduce new API, without changing anything") did not evaluate the mask
argument if NR_CPUS == 1 due to CONFIG_SMP=n, lru_add_drain_all() is
hitting WARN_ON() at __flush_work() added by commit 4d43d395fed12463
("workqueue: Try to catch flush_work() without INIT_WORK().")
by unconditionally calling flush_work() [1].

Workaround this issue by using CONFIG_SMP=n specific lru_add_drain_all
implementation. There is no real need to defer the implementation to the
workqueue as the draining is going to happen on the local cpu. So alias
lru_add_drain_all to lru_add_drain which does all the necessary work.

[Tetsuo Handa]

Andrew, please replace

  mm-swapc-workaround-for_each_cpu-bug-on-up-kernel.patch

with Michal's patch.

(I didn't debug this. Guenter already debugged this before reporting.)

How can this even link?  Lots of compilation units call
lru_add_drain_all() but the implementation just got removed.

Yeah, my bad. Should have compile tested...

Subject: [PATCH] mm: handle lru_add_drain_all for UP properly

Since for_each_cpu(cpu, mask) added by commit 2d3854a37e8b767a ("cpumask:
introduce new API, without changing anything") did not evaluate the mask
argument if NR_CPUS == 1 due to CONFIG_SMP=n, lru_add_drain_all() is
hitting WARN_ON() at __flush_work() added by commit 4d43d395fed12463
("workqueue: Try to catch flush_work() without INIT_WORK().")
by unconditionally calling flush_work() [1].

Workaround this issue by using CONFIG_SMP=n specific lru_add_drain_all
implementation. There is no real need to defer the implementation to the
workqueue as the draining is going to happen on the local cpu. So alias
lru_add_drain_all to lru_add_drain which does all the necessary work.

I assume that warning comes out a LOT of times under the correct
circumstances.

Tejun, I think a WARN_ON_ONCE() would be better.
