Merge tag 'v3.9-rc5' into wq/for-3.10
Writeback conversion to workqueue will be based on top of wq/for-3.10
branch to take advantage of custom attrs and NUMA support for unbound
workqueues. Mainline currently contains two commits which result in
non-trivial merge conflicts with wq/for-3.10 and because
block/for-3.10/core is based on v3.9-rc3 which contains one of the
conflicting commits, we need a pre-merge-window merge anyway. Let's
pull v3.9-rc5 into wq/for-3.10 so that the block tree doesn't suffer
from workqueue merge conflicts.
The two conflicts and their resolutions:
* e68035fb65 ("workqueue: convert to idr_alloc()") in mainline changes
worker_pool_assign_id() to use idr_alloc() instead of the old idr
interface. worker_pool_assign_id() goes through multiple locking
changes in wq/for-3.10 causing the following conflict.
static int worker_pool_assign_id(struct worker_pool *pool)
{
int ret;
<<<<<<< HEAD
lockdep_assert_held(&wq_pool_mutex);
do {
if (!idr_pre_get(&worker_pool_idr, GFP_KERNEL))
return -ENOMEM;
ret = idr_get_new(&worker_pool_idr, pool, &pool->id);
} while (ret == -EAGAIN);
=======
mutex_lock(&worker_pool_idr_mutex);
ret = idr_alloc(&worker_pool_idr, pool, 0, 0, GFP_KERNEL);
if (ret >= 0)
pool->id = ret;
mutex_unlock(&worker_pool_idr_mutex);
>>>>>>> c67bf5361e7e66a0ff1f4caf95f89347d55dfb89
return ret < 0 ? ret : 0;
}
We want locking from the former and idr_alloc() usage from the
latter, which can be combined to the following.
static int worker_pool_assign_id(struct worker_pool *pool)
{
int ret;
lockdep_assert_held(&wq_pool_mutex);
ret = idr_alloc(&worker_pool_idr, pool, 0, 0, GFP_KERNEL);
if (ret >= 0) {
pool->id = ret;
return 0;
}
return ret;
}
* eb2834285c ("workqueue: fix possible pool stall bug in
wq_unbind_fn()") updated wq_unbind_fn() such that it has single
larger for_each_std_worker_pool() loop instead of two separate loops
with a schedule() call inbetween. wq/for-3.10 renamed
pool->assoc_mutex to pool->manager_mutex causing the following
conflict (earlier function body and comments omitted for brevity).
static void wq_unbind_fn(struct work_struct *work)
{
...
spin_unlock_irq(&pool->lock);
<<<<<<< HEAD
mutex_unlock(&pool->manager_mutex);
}
=======
mutex_unlock(&pool->assoc_mutex);
>>>>>>> c67bf5361e7e66a0ff1f4caf95f89347d55dfb89
schedule();
<<<<<<< HEAD
for_each_cpu_worker_pool(pool, cpu)
=======
>>>>>>> c67bf5361e7e66a0ff1f4caf95f89347d55dfb89
atomic_set(&pool->nr_running, 0);
spin_lock_irq(&pool->lock);
wake_up_worker(pool);
spin_unlock_irq(&pool->lock);
}
}
The resolution is mostly trivial. We want the control flow of the
latter with the rename of the former.
static void wq_unbind_fn(struct work_struct *work)
{
...
spin_unlock_irq(&pool->lock);
mutex_unlock(&pool->manager_mutex);
schedule();
atomic_set(&pool->nr_running, 0);
spin_lock_irq(&pool->lock);
wake_up_worker(pool);
spin_unlock_irq(&pool->lock);
}
}
