fs/epoll: use a per-cpu counter for user's watches count

2021-09-08T18:50:27+00:00

This counter tracks the number of watches a user has, to compare against
the 'max_user_watches' limit. This causes a scalability bottleneck on
SPECjbb2015 on large systems as there is only one user. Changing to a
per-cpu counter increases throughput of the benchmark by about 30% on a
16-socket, > 1000 thread system.

ARM: 9108/1: oabi-compat: rework epoll_wait/epoll_pwait emulation

2021-08-20T10:39:26+00:00

The epoll_wait() system call wrapper is one of the remaining users of
the set_fs() infrasturcture for Arm. Changing it to not require set_fs()
is rather complex unfortunately.

The approach I'm taking here is to allow architectures to override
the code that copies the output to user space, and let the oabi-compat
implementation check whether it is getting called from an EABI or OABI
system call based on the thread_info->syscall value.

The in_oabi_syscall() check here mirrors the in_compat_syscall() and
in_x32_syscall() helpers for 32-bit compat implementations on other
architectures.

Overall, the amount of code goes down, at least with the newly added
sys_oabi_epoll_pwait() helper getting removed again. The downside
is added complexity in the source code for the native implementation.
There should be no difference in runtime performance except for Arm
kernels with CONFIG_OABI_COMPAT enabled that now have to go through
an external function call to check which of the two variants to use.

fs/epoll: restore waking from ep_done_scan()

2021-05-07T02:24:13+00:00

Commit 339ddb53d373 ("fs/epoll: remove unnecessary wakeups of nested
epoll") changed the userspace visible behavior of exclusive waiters
blocked on a common epoll descriptor upon a single event becoming ready.

Previously, all tasks doing epoll_wait would awake, and now only one is
awoken, potentially causing missed wakeups on applications that rely on
this behavior, such as Apache Qpid.

While the aforementioned commit aims at having only a wakeup single path
in ep_poll_callback (with the exceptions of epoll_ctl cases), we need to
restore the wakeup in what was the old ep_scan_ready_list() such that
the next thread can be awoken, in a cascading style, after the waker's
corresponding ep_send_events().

fs: eventpoll: fix comments & kernel-doc notation

2021-03-07T00:36:53+00:00

Use the documented kernel-doc format for function Return: descriptions.
Begin constant values in kernel-doc comments with '%'.

Remove kernel-doc "/**" from 2 functions that are not documented with
kernel-doc notation.

Fix typos, punctuation, & grammar.

Also fix a few kernel-doc warnings:

../fs/eventpoll.c:1883: warning: Function parameter or member 'ep' not described in 'ep_loop_check_proc'
../fs/eventpoll.c:1883: warning: Excess function parameter 'priv' description in 'ep_loop_check_proc'

kcmp: Support selection of SYS_kcmp without CHECKPOINT_RESTORE

2021-02-16T08:59:41+00:00

Userspace has discovered the functionality offered by SYS_kcmp and has
started to depend upon it. In particular, Mesa uses SYS_kcmp for
os_same_file_description() in order to identify when two fd (e.g. device
or dmabuf) point to the same struct file. Since they depend on it for
core functionality, lift SYS_kcmp out of the non-default
CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE into the selectable syscall category.

Rasmus Villemoes also pointed out that systemd uses SYS_kcmp to
deduplicate the per-service file descriptor store.

Note that some distributions such as Ubuntu are already enabling
CHECKPOINT_RESTORE in their configs and so, by extension, SYS_kcmp.

epoll: add syscall epoll_pwait2

2020-12-19T19:18:38+00:00

Add syscall epoll_pwait2, an epoll_wait variant with nsec resolution that
replaces int timeout with struct timespec.  It is equivalent otherwise.

    int epoll_pwait2(int fd, struct epoll_event *events,
                     int maxevents,
                     const struct timespec *timeout,
                     const sigset_t *sigset);

The underlying hrtimer is already programmed with nsec resolution.
pselect and ppoll also set nsec resolution timeout with timespec.

The sigset_t in epoll_pwait has a compat variant. epoll_pwait2 needs
the same.

For timespec, only support this new interface on 2038 aware platforms
that define __kernel_timespec_t. So no CONFIG_COMPAT_32BIT_TIME.

epoll: convert internal api to timespec64

2020-12-19T19:18:38+00:00

Patch series "add epoll_pwait2 syscall", v4.

Enable nanosecond timeouts for epoll.

Analogous to pselect and ppoll, introduce an epoll_wait syscall
variant that takes a struct timespec instead of int timeout.

This patch (of 4):

Make epoll more consistent with select/poll: pass along the timeout as
timespec64 pointer.

In anticipation of additional changes affecting all three polling
mechanisms:

- add epoll_pwait2 syscall with timespec semantics,
  and share poll_select_set_timeout implementation.
- compute slack before conversion to absolute time,
  to save one ktime_get_ts64 call.

epoll: eliminate unnecessary lock for zero timeout

2020-12-19T19:18:38+00:00

We call ep_events_available() under lock when timeout is 0, and then call
it without locks in the loop for the other cases.

Instead, call ep_events_available() without lock for all cases.  For
non-zero timeouts, we will recheck after adding the thread to the wait
queue.  For zero timeout cases, by definition, user is opportunistically
polling and will have to call epoll_wait again in the future.

Note that this lock was kept in c5a282e9635e9 because the whole loop was
historically under lock.

This patch results in a 1% CPU/RPC reduction in RPC benchmarks.

epoll: replace gotos with a proper loop

2020-12-19T19:18:38+00:00

The existing loop is pointless, and the labels make it really hard to
follow the structure.

Replace that control structure with a simple loop that returns when there
are new events, there is a signal, or the thread has timed out.
