workqueue: Fix pwq ref leak in rescuer_thread()

2019-12-17T19:07:44+00:00

commit e66b39af00f426b3356b96433d620cb3367ba1ff upstream.

008847f66c3 ("workqueue: allow rescuer thread to do more work.") made
the rescuer worker requeue the pwq immediately if there may be more
work items which need rescuing instead of waiting for the next mayday
timer expiration.  Unfortunately, it doesn't check whether the pwq is
already on the mayday list and unconditionally gets the ref and moves
it onto the list.  This doesn't corrupt the list but creates an
additional reference to the pwq.  It got queued twice but will only be
removed once.

This leak later can trigger pwq refcnt warning on workqueue
destruction and prevent freeing of the workqueue.

workqueue: Fix spurious sanity check failures in destroy_workqueue()

2019-12-17T19:07:44+00:00

commit def98c84b6cdf2eeea19ec5736e90e316df5206b upstream.

Before actually destrying a workqueue, destroy_workqueue() checks
whether it's actually idle.  If it isn't, it prints out a bunch of
warning messages and leaves the workqueue dangling.  It unfortunately
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.

workqueue: Remove GPF argument from alloc_workqueue_attrs()

None of those functions have any users outside of workqueue.c. Confine

treewide: Add SPDX license identifier for missed files

2019-05-21T08:50:45+00:00

Add SPDX license identifiers to all files which:

 - Have no license information of any form

 - Have EXPORT_.*_SYMBOL_GPL inside which was used in the
   initial scan/conversion to ignore the file

These files fall under the project license, GPL v2 only. The resulting SPDX
license identifier is:

  GPL-2.0-only

Merge branch 'for-5.2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq

Pull workqueue updates from Tejun Heo:
 "Only three commits, of which two are trivial.

  The non-trivial chagne is Thomas's patch to switch workqueue from
  sched RCU to regular one. The use of sched RCU is mostly historic and
  doesn't really buy us anything noticeable"

sched/core, workqueues: Distangle worker accounting from rq lock

2019-04-16T14:55:15+00:00

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().

treewide: Switch printk users from %pf and %pF to %ps and %pS, respectively

2019-04-09T12:19:06+00:00

%pF and %pf are functionally equivalent to %pS and %ps conversion
specifiers. The former are deprecated, therefore switch the current users
to use the preferred variant.

The changes have been produced by the following command:

	git grep -l '%p[fF]' | grep -v '^\(tools\|Documentation\)/' | \
	while read i; do perl -i -pe 's/%pf/%ps/g; s/%pF/%pS/g;' $i; done

And verifying the result.
