Fixes: 5797b1c189 ("workqueue: Implement system-wide nr_active enforcement for unbound workqueues")
When __queue_delayed_work() is called, it chooses a cpu for handling the
timer interrupt. As of today, it will pick either the cpu passed as
parameter or the last cpu used for this.
This is not good if a system does use CPU isolation, because it can take
away some valuable cpu time to:
1 - deal with the timer interrupt,
2 - schedule-out the desired task,
3 - queue work on a random workqueue, and
4 - schedule the desired task back to the cpu.
So to fix this, during __queue_delayed_work(), if cpu isolation is in
place, pick a random non-isolated cpu to handle the timer interrupt.
As an optimization, if the current cpu is not isolated, use it instead
of looking for another candidate.

A pool_workqueue (pwq) represents the connection between a workqueue and a
worker_pool. One of the roles that a pwq plays is enforcement of the
max_active concurrency limit. Before 636b927eba ("workqueue: Make unbound
workqueues to use per-cpu pool_workqueues"), there was one pwq per each CPU
for per-cpu workqueues and per each NUMA node for unbound workqueues, which
was a natural result of per-cpu workqueues being served by per-cpu pools and
unbound by per-NUMA pools.
In terms of max_active enforcement, this was, while not perfect, workable.
For per-cpu workqueues, it was fine. For unbound, it wasn't great in that
NUMA machines would get max_active that's multiplied by the number of nodes
but didn't cause huge problems because NUMA machines are relatively rare and
the node count is usually pretty low.
However, cache layouts are more complex now and sharing a worker pool across
a whole node didn't really work well for unbound workqueues. Thus, a series
of commits culminating on 8639ecebc9 ("workqueue: Make unbound workqueues
to use per-cpu pool_workqueues") implemented more flexible affinity
mechanism for unbound workqueues which enables using e.g. last-level-cache
aligned pools. In the process, 636b927eba ("workqueue: Make unbound
workqueues to use per-cpu pool_workqueues") made unbound workqueues use
per-cpu pwqs like per-cpu workqueues.
While the change was necessary to enable more flexible affinity scopes, this
came with the side effect of blowing up the effective max_active for unbound
workqueues. Before, the effective max_active for unbound workqueues was
multiplied by the number of nodes. After, by the number of CPUs.
636b927eba ("workqueue: Make unbound workqueues to use per-cpu
pool_workqueues") claims that this should generally be okay. It is okay for
users which self-regulates concurrency level which are the vast majority;
however, there are enough use cases which actually depend on max_active to
prevent the level of concurrency from going bonkers including several IO
handling workqueues that can issue a work item for each in-flight IO. With
targeted benchmarks, the misbehavior can easily be exposed as reported in
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/dbu6wiwu3sdhmhikb2w6lns7b27gbobfavhjj57kwi2quafgwl@htjcc5oikcr3.
Unfortunately, there is no way to express what these use cases need using
per-cpu max_active. A CPU may issue most of in-flight IOs, so we don't want
to set max_active too low but as soon as we increase max_active a bit, we
can end up with unreasonable number of in-flight work items when many CPUs
issue IOs at the same time. ie. The acceptable lowest max_active is higher
than the acceptable highest max_active.
Ideally, max_active for an unbound workqueue should be system-wide so that
the users can regulate the total level of concurrency regardless of node and
cache layout. The reasons workqueue hasn't implemented that yet are:
- One max_active enforcement decouples from pool boundaires, chaining
execution after a work item finishes requires inter-pool operations which
would require lock dancing, which is nasty.
- Sharing a single nr_active count across the whole system can be pretty
expensive on NUMA machines.
- Per-pwq enforcement had been more or less okay while we were using
per-node pools.
It looks like we no longer can avoid decoupling max_active enforcement from
pool boundaries. This patch implements system-wide nr_active mechanism with
the following design characteristics:
- To avoid sharing a single counter across multiple nodes, the configured
max_active is split across nodes according to the proportion of each
workqueue's online effective CPUs per node. e.g. A node with twice more
online effective CPUs will get twice higher portion of max_active.
- Workqueue used to be able to process a chain of interdependent work items
which is as long as max_active. We can't do this anymore as max_active is
distributed across the nodes. Instead, a new parameter min_active is
introduced which determines the minimum level of concurrency within a node
regardless of how max_active distribution comes out to be.
It is set to the smaller of max_active and WQ_DFL_MIN_ACTIVE which is 8.
This can lead to higher effective max_weight than configured and also
deadlocks if a workqueue was depending on being able to handle chains of
interdependent work items that are longer than 8.
I believe these should be fine given that the number of CPUs in each NUMA
node is usually higher than 8 and work item chain longer than 8 is pretty
unlikely. However, if these assumptions turn out to be wrong, we'll need
to add an interface to adjust min_active.
- Each unbound wq has an array of struct wq_node_nr_active which tracks
per-node nr_active. When its pwq wants to run a work item, it has to
obtain the matching node's nr_active. If over the node's max_active, the
pwq is queued on wq_node_nr_active->pending_pwqs. As work items finish,
the completion path round-robins the pending pwqs activating the first
inactive work item of each, which involves some pool lock dancing and
kicking other pools. It's not the simplest code but doesn't look too bad.
v4: - wq_adjust_max_active() updated to invoke wq_update_node_max_active().
- wq_adjust_max_active() is now protected by wq->mutex instead of
wq_pool_mutex.
v3: - wq_node_max_active() used to calculate per-node max_active on the fly
based on system-wide CPU online states. Lai pointed out that this can
lead to skewed distributions for workqueues with restricted cpumasks.
Update the max_active distribution to use per-workqueue effective
online CPU counts instead of system-wide and cache the calculation
results in node_nr_active->max.
v2: - wq->min/max_active now uses WRITE/READ_ONCE() as suggested by Lai.

Currently, for both percpu and unbound workqueues, max_active applies
per-cpu, which is a recent change for unbound workqueues. The change for
unbound workqueues was a significant departure from the previous behavior of
per-node application. It made some use cases create undesirable number of
concurrent work items and left no good way of fixing them. To address the
problem, workqueue is implementing a NUMA node segmented global nr_active
mechanism, which will be explained further in the next patch.
As a preparation, this patch introduces struct wq_node_nr_active. It's a
data structured allocated for each workqueue and NUMA node pair and
currently only tracks the workqueue's number of active work items on the
node. This is split out from the next patch to make it easier to understand
and review.
Note that there is an extra wq_node_nr_active allocated for the invalid node
nr_node_ids which is used to track nr_active for pools which don't have NUMA
node associated such as the default fallback system-wide pool.
This doesn't cause any behavior changes visible to userland yet. The next
patch will expand to implement the control mechanism on top.
v4: - Fixed out-of-bound access when freeing per-cpu workqueues.
v3: - Use flexible array for wq->node_nr_active as suggested by Lai.
v2: - wq->max_active now uses WRITE/READ_ONCE() as suggested by Lai.
- Lai pointed out that pwq_tryinc_nr_active() incorrectly dropped
pwq->max_active check. Restored. As the next patch replaces the
max_active enforcement mechanism, this doesn't change the end result.

- Add unbound_pwq_slot() and unbound_pwq() which can access both ->dfl_pwq

wq_adjust_max_active() needs to activate work items after max_active is
increased. Previously, it did that by visiting each pwq once activating all
that could be activated. While this makes sense with per-pwq nr_active,
nr_active will be shared across multiple pwqs for unbound wqs. Then, we'd
want to round-robin through pwqs to be fairer.

while activating. While the activation ordering changes, this shouldn't

open-coding nr_active handling, which is fine given that the operations are
trivial. However, the planned unbound nr_active update will make them more
complicated, so let's move them into helpers.
- pwq_tryinc_nr_active() is added. It increments nr_active if under
max_active limit and return a boolean indicating whether inc was
successful. Note that the function is structured to accommodate future
changes. __queue_work() is updated to use the new helper.
- pwq_activate_first_inactive() is updated to use pwq_tryinc_nr_active() and
thus no longer assumes that nr_active is under max_active and returns a
boolean to indicate whether a work item has been activated.
- wq_adjust_max_active() no longer tests directly whether a work item can be
activated. Instead, it's updated to use the return value of
pwq_activate_first_inactive() to tell whether a work item has been
activated.
- nr_active decrement and activating the first inactive work item is
factored into pwq_dec_nr_active().
v3: - WARN_ON_ONCE(!WORK_STRUCT_INACTIVE) added to __pwq_activate_work() as

Currently the workqueue just checks the atomic and locking states after work
execution ends. However, sometimes, a work item may not unlock rcu after
acquiring rcu_read_lock(). And as a result, it would cause rcu stall, but
the rcu stall warning can not dump the work func, because the work has
finished.
In order to quickly discover those works that do not call rcu_read_unlock()
after rcu_read_lock(), add the rcu lock check.
Use rcu_preempt_depth() to check the work's rcu status. Normally, this value
is 0. If this value is bigger than 0, it means the work are still holding
rcu lock. If so, print err info and the work func.

When the "isolcpus" boot command line option is used to add a set
of isolated CPUs, those CPUs will be excluded automatically from
wq_unbound_cpumask to avoid running work functions from unbound
workqueues.
Recently cpuset has been extended to allow the creation of partitions
of isolated CPUs dynamically. To make it closer to the "isolcpus"
in functionality, the CPUs in those isolated cpuset partitions should be
excluded from wq_unbound_cpumask as well. This can be done currently by
explicitly writing to the workqueue's cpumask sysfs file after creating
the isolated partitions. However, this process can be error prone.
Ideally, the cpuset code should be allowed to request the workqueue code
to exclude those isolated CPUs from wq_unbound_cpumask so that this
operation can be done automatically and the isolated CPUs will be returned
back to wq_unbound_cpumask after the destructions of the isolated
cpuset partitions.
This patch adds a new workqueue_unbound_exclude_cpumask() function to
enable that. This new function will exclude the specified isolated
CPUs from wq_unbound_cpumask. To be able to restore those isolated
CPUs back after the destruction of isolated cpuset partitions, a new
wq_requested_unbound_cpumask is added to store the user provided unbound
cpumask either from the boot command line options or from writing to
the cpumask sysfs file. This new cpumask provides the basis for CPU
exclusion.
To enable users to understand how the wq_unbound_cpumask is being
modified internally, this patch also exposes the newly introduced
wq_requested_unbound_cpumask as well as a wq_isolated_cpumask to
store the cpumask to be excluded from wq_unbound_cpumask as read-only
sysfs files.

All callers of work_on_cpu() share the same lock class key for all the
functions queued. As a result the workqueue related locking scenario for
a function A may be spuriously accounted as an inversion against the
locking scenario of function B such as in the following model:
long A(void *arg)
{
mutex_lock(&mutex);
mutex_unlock(&mutex);
}
long B(void *arg)
{
}
void launchA(void)
{
work_on_cpu(0, A, NULL);
}
void launchB(void)
{
mutex_lock(&mutex);
work_on_cpu(1, B, NULL);
mutex_unlock(&mutex);
}
launchA and launchB running concurrently have no chance to deadlock.
However the above can be reported by lockdep as a possible locking
inversion because the works containing A() and B() are treated as
belonging to the same locking class.

Commit 5c0338c687 ("workqueue: restore WQ_UNBOUND/max_active==1
to be ordered") enabled implicit ordered attribute to be added to
WQ_UNBOUND workqueues with max_active of 1. This prevented the changing
of attributes to these workqueues leading to fix commit 0a94efb5ac
("workqueue: implicit ordered attribute should be overridable").
However, workqueue_apply_unbound_cpumask() was not updated at that time.
So sysfs changes to wq_unbound_cpumask has no effect on WQ_UNBOUND
workqueues with implicit ordered attribute. Since not all WQ_UNBOUND
workqueues are visible on sysfs, we are not able to make all the
necessary cpumask changes even if we iterates all the workqueue cpumasks
in sysfs and changing them one by one.
Fix this problem by applying the corresponding change made
to apply_workqueue_attrs_locked() in the fix commit to
workqueue_apply_unbound_cpumask().

Each CPU-specific and unbound kworker kthread conforms to a particular

At present, a rescuer kworker is simply named according to its
workqueue's name. This can be cryptic.
This patch modifies a rescuer to follow the kworker naming scheme.
The "R" is indicative of a rescuer and after "-" is its workqueue's

An unbound workqueue can be served by multiple worker_pools to improve
locality. The segmentation is achieved by grouping CPUs into pods. By
default, the cache boundaries according to cpus_share_cache() define the
CPUs are grouped. Let's a workqueue is allowed to run on all CPUs and the
system has two L3 caches. The workqueue would be mapped to two worker_pools
each serving one L3 cache domains.
While this improves locality, because the pod boundaries are strict, it
limits the total bandwidth a given issuer can consume. For example, let's
say there is a thread pinned to a CPU issuing enough work items to saturate
the whole machine. With the machine segmented into two pods, no matter how
many work items it issues, it can only use half of the CPUs on the system.
While this limitation has existed for a very long time, it wasn't very
pronounced because the affinity grouping used to be always by NUMA nodes.
With cache boundaries as the default and support for even finer grained
scopes (smt and cpu), it is now an a lot more pressing problem.
This patch implements non-strict affinity scope where the pod boundaries
aren't enforced strictly. Going back to the previous example, the workqueue
would still be mapped to two worker_pools; however, the affinity enforcement
would be soft. The workers in both pools would have their cpus_allowed set
to the whole machine thus allowing the scheduler to migrate them anywhere on
the machine. However, whenever an idle worker is woken up, the workqueue
code asks the scheduler to bring back the task within the pod if the worker
is outside. ie. work items start executing within its affinity scope but can
be migrated outside as the scheduler sees fit. This removes the hard cap on
utilization while maintaining the benefits of affinity scopes.
After the earlier ->__pod_cpumask changes, the implementation is pretty
simple. When non-strict which is the new default:
* pool_allowed_cpus() returns @pool->attrs->cpumask instead of
->__pod_cpumask so that the workers are allowed to run on any CPU that
the associated workqueues allow.
* If the idle worker task's ->wake_cpu is outside the pod, kick_pool() sets
the field to a CPU within the pod.
This would be the first use of task_struct->wake_cpu outside scheduler
proper, so it isn't clear whether this would be acceptable. However, other
methods of migrating tasks are significantly more expensive and are likely
prohibitively so if we want to do this on every work item. This needs
discussion with scheduler folks.
There is also a race window where setting ->wake_cpu wouldn't be effective
as the target task is still on CPU. However, the window is pretty small and
this being a best-effort optimization, it doesn't seem to warrant more
complexity at the moment.
While the non-strict cache affinity scopes seem to be the best option, the
performance picture interacts with the affinity scope and is a bit
complicated to fully discuss in this patch, so the behavior is made easily
selectable through wqattrs and sysfs and the next patch will add
documentation to discuss performance implications.
v2: pool->attrs->affn_strict is set to true for per-cpu worker_pools.

workqueue_attrs has two uses:
* to specify the required unouned workqueue properties by users
* to match worker_pool's properties to workqueues by core code
For example, if the user wants to restrict a workqueue to run only CPUs 0
and 2, and the two CPUs are on different affinity scopes, the workqueue's
attrs->cpumask would contains CPUs 0 and 2, and the workqueue would be
associated with two worker_pools, one with attrs->cpumask containing just
CPU 0 and the other CPU 2.
Workqueue wants to support non-strict affinity scopes where work items are
started in their matching affinity scopes but the scheduler is free to
migrate them outside the starting scopes, which can enable utilizing the
whole machine while maintaining most of the locality benefits from affinity
scopes.
To enable that, worker_pools need to distinguish the strict affinity that it
has to follow (because that's the restriction coming from the user) and the
soft affinity that it wants to apply when dispatching work items. Note that
two worker_pools with different soft dispatching requirements have to be
separate; otherwise, for example, we'd be ping-ponging worker threads across
NUMA boundaries constantly.
This patch adds workqueue_attrs->__pod_cpumask. The new field is double
underscored as it's only used internally to distinguish worker_pools. A
worker_pool's ->cpumask is now always the same as the online subset of
allowed CPUs of the associated workqueues, and ->__pod_cpumask is the pod's
subset of that ->cpumask. Going back to the example above, both worker_pools
would have ->cpumask containing both CPUs 0 and 2 but one's ->__pod_cpumask
would contain 0 while the other's 2.
* pool_allowed_cpus() is added. It returns the worker_pool's strict cpumask
that the pool's workers must stay within. This is currently always
->__pod_cpumask as all boundaries are still strict.
* As a workqueue_attrs can now track both the associated workqueues' cpumask
and its per-pod subset, wq_calc_pod_cpumask() no longer needs an external
out-argument. Drop @cpumask and instead store the result in
->__pod_cpumask.
* The above also simplifies apply_wqattrs_prepare() as the same
workqueue_attrs can be used to create all pods associated with a
workqueue. tmp_attrs is dropped.
* wq_update_pod() is updated to use wqattrs_equal() to test whether a pwq
update is needed instead of only comparing ->cpumask so that
->__pod_cpumask is compared too. It can directly compare ->__pod_cpumaks
but the code is easier to understand and more robust this way.
The only user-visible behavior change is that two workqueues with different
cpumasks no longer can share worker_pools even when their pod subsets
coincide. Going back to the example, let's say there's another workqueue
with cpumask 0, 2, 3, where 2 and 3 are in the same pod. It would be mapped
to two worker_pools - one with CPU 0, the other with 2 and 3. The former has
the same cpumask as the first pod of the earlier example and would have
shared the same worker_pool but that's no longer the case after this patch.
The worker_pools would have the same ->__pod_cpumask but their ->cpumask's
wouldn't match.
While this is necessary to support non-strict affinity scopes, there can be
further optimizations to maintain sharing among strict affinity scopes.
However, non-strict affinity scopes are going to be preferable for most use
cases and we don't see very diverse mixture of unbound workqueue cpumasks
anyway, so the additional overhead doesn't seem to justify the extra
complexity.
v2: - wq_update_pod() was incorrectly comparing target_attrs->__pod_cpumask
to pool->attrs->cpumask instead of its ->__pod_cpumask. Fix it by
using wqattrs_equal() for comparison instead.
- Per-cpu worker pools weren't initializing ->__pod_cpumask which caused
a subtle problem later on. Set it to cpumask_of(cpu) like ->cpumask.

Checking need_more_worker() and calling wake_up_worker() is a repeated
pattern. Let's add kick_pool(), which checks need_more_worker() and
open-code wake_up_worker(), and replace wake_up_worker() uses. The following
conversions aren't one-to-one:
* __queue_work() was using __need_more_work() because it knows that
pool->worklist isn't empty. Switching to kick_pool() adds an extra
list_empty() test.
* create_worker() always needs to wake up the newly minted worker whether
there's more work to do or not to avoid triggering hung task check on the
new task. Keep the current wake_up_process() and still add kick_pool().
This may lead to an extra wakeup which isn't harmful.
* pwq_adjust_max_active() was explicitly checking whether it needs to wake
up a worker or not to avoid spurious wakeups. As kick_pool() only wakes up
a worker when necessary, this explicit check is no longer necessary and
dropped.
* unbind_workers() now calls kick_pool() instead of wake_up_worker() adding
a need_more_worker() test. This avoids spurious wakeups and shouldn't
break anything.
wake_up_worker() is dropped as kick_pool() replaces all its users. After
this patch, all paths that wakes up a non-rescuer worker to initiate work
item execution use kick_pool(). This will enable future changes to improve
locality.

The two work execution paths in worker_thread() and rescuer_thread() use
move_linked_works() to claim work items from @pool->worklist. Once claimed,
process_schedule_works() is called which invokes process_one_work() on each
work item. process_one_work() then uses find_worker_executing_work() to
detect and handle collisions - situations where the work item to be executed
is still running on another worker.
This works fine, but, to improve work execution locality, we want to
establish work to worker association earlier and know for sure that the
worker is going to excute the work once asssigned, which requires performing
collision handling earlier while trying to assign the work item to the
worker.
This patch introduces assign_work() which assigns a work item to a worker
using move_linked_works() and then performs collision handling. As collision
handling is handled earlier, process_one_work() no longer needs to worry
about them.
After the this patch, collision checks for linked work items are skipped,
which should be fine as they can't be queued multiple times concurrently.
For work items running from rescuers, the timing of collision handling may
change but the invariant that the work items go through collision handling
before starting execution does not.
This patch shouldn't cause noticeable behavior changes, especially given
that worker_thread() behavior remains the same.

Add three more affinity scopes - WQ_AFFN_CPU, SMT and CACHE - and make CACHE
the default. The code changes to actually add the additional scopes are
trivial.
Also add module parameter "workqueue.default_affinity_scope" to override the
default scope and "affinity_scope" sysfs file to configure it per workqueue.
wq_dump.py and documentations are updated accordingly.
This enables significant flexibility in configuring how unbound workqueues
behave. If affinity scope is set to "cpu", it'll behave close to a per-cpu
workqueue. On the other hand, "system" removes all locality boundaries.
Many modern machines have multiple L3 caches often while being mostly
uniform in terms of memory access. Thus, workqueue's previous behavior of
spreading work items in each NUMA node had negative performance implications
from unncessarily crossing L3 boundaries between issue and execution.
However, picking a finer grained affinity scope also has a downside in that
an issuer in one group can't utilize CPUs in other groups.
While dependent on the specifics of workload, there's usually a noticeable
penalty in crossing L3 boundaries, so let's default to CACHE. This issue
will be further addressed and documented with examples in future patches.

While wq_pod_type[] can now group CPUs in any aribitrary way, WQ_AFFN_NUM
init is hard coded into workqueue_init_topology(). This patch modularizes
the init path by introducing init_pod_type() which takes a callback to
determine whether two CPUs should share a pod as an argument.
init_pod_type() first scans the CPU combinations testing for sharing to
assign consecutive pod IDs and initialize pod_type->cpu_pod[]. Once
->cpu_pod[] is determined, ->pod_cpus[] and ->pod_node[] are initialized
accordingly. WQ_AFFN_NUMA is now initialized by calling init_pod_type() with
cpus_share_numa() which tests whether the CPU belongs to the same NUMA node.
This patch may change the pod ID assigned to each NUMA node but that
shouldn't cause any behavior changes as the NUMA node to use for allocations
are tracked separately in pod_type->pod_node[]. This makes adding new
affinty types pretty easy.

While renamed to pod, the code still assumes that the pods are defined by
NUMA boundaries. Let's generalize it:
* workqueue_attrs->affn_scope is added. Each enum represents the type of
boundaries that define the pods. There are currently two scopes -
WQ_AFFN_NUMA and WQ_AFFN_SYSTEM. The former is the same behavior as before
- one pod per NUMA node. The latter defines one global pod across the
whole system.
* struct wq_pod_type is added which describes how pods are configured for
each affnity scope. For each pod, it lists the member CPUs and the
preferred NUMA node for memory allocations. The reverse mapping from CPU
to pod is also available.
* wq_pod_enabled is dropped. Pod is now always enabled. The previously
disabled behavior is now implemented through WQ_AFFN_SYSTEM.
* get_unbound_pool() wants to determine the NUMA node to allocate memory
from for the new pool. The variables are renamed from node to pod but the
logic still assumes they're one and the same. Clearly distinguish them -
walk the WQ_AFFN_NUMA pods to find the matching pod and then use the pod's
NUMA node.
* wq_calc_pod_cpumask() was taking @pod but assumed that it was the NUMA
node. Take @cpu instead and determine the cpumask to use from the pod_type
matching @attrs.
* apply_wqattrs_prepare() is update to return ERR_PTR() on error instead of
NULL so that it can indicate -EINVAL on invalid affinity scopes.
This patch allows CPUs to be grouped into pods however desired per type.
While this patch causes some internal behavior changes, nothing material
should change for workqueue users.

workqueue_attrs can be used for both workqueues and worker_pools. However,
some fields, currently only ->ordered, only apply to workqueues and should
be cleared to the default / invalid values.
Currently, an unbound workqueue explicitly clears attrs->ordered in
get_unbound_pool() after copying the source workqueue attrs, while per-cpu
workqueues rely on the fact that zeroing on allocation gives us the desired
default value for pool->attrs->ordered.
This is fragile. Let's add wqattrs_clear_for_pool() which clears
attrs->ordered and is called from both init_worker_pool() and
get_unbound_pool(). This will ease adding more workqueue-only attrs fields.
In get_unbound_pool(), pool->node initialization is moved upwards for
readability. This shouldn't cause any behavior changes.

For an unbound pool, multiple cpumasks are involved.
U: The user-specified cpumask (may be filtered with cpu_possible_mask).
A: The actual cpumask filtered by wq_unbound_cpumask. If the filtering
leaves no CPU, wq_unbound_cpumask is used.
P: Per-pod subsets of #A.
wq->attrs stores #U, wq->dfl_pwq->pool->attrs->cpumask #A, and
wq->cpu_pwq[CPU]->pool->attrs->cpumask #P.
wq_update_pod() is called to update per-pod pwq's during CPU hotplug. To
calculate the new #P for each workqueue, it needs to call
wq_calc_pod_cpumask() with @attrs that contains #A. Currently,
wq_update_pod() achieves this by calling wq_calc_pod_cpumask() with
wq->dfl_pwq->pool->attrs.
This is rather fragile because we're calling wq_calc_pod_cpumask() with
@attrs of a worker_pool rather than the workqueue's actual attrs when what
we want to calculate is the workqueue's cpumask on the pod. While this works
fine currently, future changes will add fields which are used differently
between workqueues and worker_pools and this subtlety will bite us.
This patch factors out #U -> #A calculation from apply_wqattrs_prepare()
into wqattrs_actualize_cpumask and updates wq_update_pod() to copy
wq->unbound_attrs and use the new helper to obtain #A freshly instead of
abusing wq->dfl_pwq->pool_attrs.
This shouldn't cause any behavior changes in the current code.

During boot, to initialize unbound CPU pods, wq_pod_init() was called from
workqueue_init(). This is early enough for NUMA nodes to be set up but
before SMP is brought up and CPU topology information is populated.
Workqueue is in the process of improving CPU locality for unbound workqueues
and will need access to topology information during pod init. This adds a
new init function workqueue_init_topology() which is called after CPU
topology information is available and replaces wq_pod_init().
As unbound CPU pods are now initialized after workqueues are activated, we
need to revisit the workqueues to apply the pod configuration. Workqueues
which are created before workqueue_init_topology() are set up so that they
always use the default worker pool. After pods are set up in
workqueue_init_topology(), wq_update_pod() is called on all existing
workqueues to update the pool associations accordingly.
Note that wq_update_pod_attrs_buf allocation is moved to
workqueue_init_early(). This isn't necessary right now but enables further
generalization of pod handling in the future.
This patch changes the initialization sequence but the end result should be
the same.

Workqueue is in the process of improving CPU affinity awareness. It will
become more flexible and won't be tied to NUMA node boundaries. This patch
renames all NUMA related names in workqueue.c to use "pod" instead.
While "pod" isn't a very common term, it short and captures the grouping of
CPUs well enough. These names are only going to be used within workqueue
implementation proper, so the specific naming doesn't matter that much.
* wq_numa_possible_cpumask -> wq_pod_cpus
* wq_numa_enabled -> wq_pod_enabled
* wq_update_unbound_numa_attrs_buf -> wq_update_pod_attrs_buf
* workqueue_select_cpu_near -> select_numa_node_cpu
This rename is different from others. The function is only used by
queue_work_node() and specifically tries to find a CPU in the specified
NUMA node. As workqueue affinity will become more flexible and untied from
NUMA, this function's name should specifically describe that it's for
NUMA.
* wq_calc_node_cpumask -> wq_calc_pod_cpumask
* wq_update_unbound_numa -> wq_update_pod
* wq_numa_init -> wq_pod_init

A pwq (pool_workqueue) represents an association between a workqueue and a
worker_pool. When a work item is queued, the workqueue selects the pwq to
use, which in turn determines the pool, and queues the work item to the pool
through the pwq. pwq is also what implements the maximum concurrency limit -
@max_active.
As a per-cpu workqueue should be assocaited with a different worker_pool on
each CPU, it always had per-cpu pwq's that are accessed through wq->cpu_pwq.
However, unbound workqueues were sharing a pwq within each NUMA node by
default. The sharing has several downsides:
* Because @max_active is per-pwq, the meaning of @max_active changes
depending on the machine configuration and whether workqueue NUMA locality
support is enabled.
* Makes per-cpu and unbound code deviate.
* Gets in the way of making workqueue CPU locality awareness more flexible.
This patch makes unbound workqueues use per-cpu pwq's the same way per-cpu
workqueues do by making the following changes:
* wq->numa_pwq_tbl[] is removed and unbound workqueues now use wq->cpu_pwq
just like per-cpu workqueues. wq->cpu_pwq is now RCU protected for unbound
workqueues.
* numa_pwq_tbl_install() is renamed to install_unbound_pwq() and installs
the specified pwq to the target CPU's wq->cpu_pwq.
* apply_wqattrs_prepare() now always allocates a separate pwq for each CPU
unless the workqueue is ordered. If ordered, all CPUs use wq->dfl_pwq.
This makes the return value of wq_calc_node_cpumask() unnecessary. It now
returns void.
* @max_active now means the same thing for both per-cpu and unbound
workqueues. WQ_UNBOUND_MAX_ACTIVE now equals WQ_MAX_ACTIVE and
documentation is updated accordingly. WQ_UNBOUND_MAX_ACTIVE is no longer
used in workqueue implementation and will be removed later.
* All unbound pwq operations which used to be per-numa-node are now per-cpu.
For most unbound workqueue users, this shouldn't cause noticeable changes.
Work item issue and completion will be a small bit faster, flush_workqueue()
would become a bit more expensive, and the total concurrency limit would
likely become higher. All @max_active==1 use cases are currently being
audited for conversion into alloc_ordered_workqueue() and they shouldn't be
affected once the audit and conversion is complete.
One area where the behavior change may be more noticeable is
workqueue_congested() as the reported congestion state is now per CPU
instead of NUMA node. There are only two users of this interface -
drivers/infiniband/hw/hfi1 and net/smc. Maintainers of both subsystems are
cc'd. Inputs on the behavior change would be very much appreciated.

When a CPU went online or offline, wq_update_unbound_numa() was called only
on the CPU which was going up or down. This works fine because all CPUs on
the same NUMA node share the same pool_workqueue slot - one CPU updating it
updates it for everyone in the node.
However, future changes will make each CPU use a separate pool_workqueue
even when they're sharing the same worker_pool, which requires updating
pool_workqueue's for all CPUs which may be sharing the same pool_workqueue
on hotplug.
To accommodate the planned changes, this patch updates
workqueue_on/offline_cpu() so that they call wq_update_unbound_numa() for
all CPUs sharing the same NUMA node as the CPU going up or down. In the
current code, the second+ calls would be noops and there shouldn't be any
behavior changes.
* As wq_update_unbound_numa() is now called on multiple CPUs per each
hotplug event, @cpu is renamed to @hotplug_cpu and another @cpu argument
is added. The former indicates the CPU being hot[un]plugged and the latter
the CPU whose pool_workqueue is being updated.
* In wq_update_unbound_numa(), cpu_off is renamed to off_cpu for consistency
with the new @hotplug_cpu.

Currently, all per-cpu pwq's (pool_workqueue's) are allocated directly
through a per-cpu allocation and thus, unlike unbound workqueues, not
reference counted. This difference in lifetime management between the two
types is a bit confusing.
Unbound workqueues are currently accessed through wq->numa_pwq_tbl[] which
isn't suitiable for the planned CPU locality related improvements. The plan
is to unify pwq handling across per-cpu and unbound workqueues so that
they're always accessed through wq->cpu_pwq.
In preparation, this patch makes per-cpu pwq's to be allocated, reference
counted and released the same way as unbound pwq's. wq->cpu_pwq now holds
pointers to pwq's instead of containing them directly.
pwq_unbound_release_workfn() is renamed to pwq_release_workfn() as it's now
also used for per-cpu work items.
