"Tree RCU": scalable classic RCU implementation

Browse source 
This patch fixes a long-standing performance bug in classic RCU that
results in massive internal-to-RCU lock contention on systems with
more than a few hundred CPUs.  Although this patch creates a separate
flavor of RCU for ease of review and patch maintenance, it is intended
to replace classic RCU.

This patch still handles stress better than does mainline, so I am still
calling it ready for inclusion.  This patch is against the -tip tree.
Nevertheless, experience on an actual 1000+ CPU machine would still be
most welcome.

Most of the changes noted below were found while creating an rcutiny
(which should permit ejecting the current rcuclassic) and while doing
detailed line-by-line documentation.

Updates from v9 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/12/2/334):

o	Fixes from remainder of line-by-line code walkthrough,
	including comment spelling, initialization, undesirable
	narrowing due to type conversion, removing redundant memory
	barriers, removing redundant local-variable initialization,
	and removing redundant local variables.

	I do not believe that any of these fixes address the CPU-hotplug
	issues that Andi Kleen was seeing, but please do give it a whirl
	in case the machine is smarter than I am.

	A writeup from the walkthrough may be found at the following
	URL, in case you are suffering from terminal insomnia or
	masochism:

	http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/paulmck/tmp/rcutree-walkthrough.2008.12.16a.pdf

o	Made rcutree tracing use seq_file, as suggested some time
	ago by Lai Jiangshan.

o	Added a .csv variant of the rcudata debugfs trace file, to allow
	people having thousands of CPUs to drop the data into
	a spreadsheet.	Tested with oocalc and gnumeric.  Updated
	documentation to suit.

Updates from v8 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/11/15/139):

o	Fix a theoretical race between grace-period initialization and
	force_quiescent_state() that could occur if more than three
	jiffies were required to carry out the grace-period
	initialization.  Which it might, if you had enough CPUs.

o	Apply Ingo's printk-standardization patch.

o	Substitute local variables for repeated accesses to global
	variables.

o	Fix comment misspellings and redundant (but harmless) increments
	of ->n_rcu_pending (this latter after having explicitly added it).

o	Apply checkpatch fixes.

Updates from v7 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/10/10/291):

o	Fixed a number of problems noted by Gautham Shenoy, including
	the cpu-stall-detection bug that he was having difficulty
	convincing me was real.  ;-)

o	Changed cpu-stall detection to wait for ten seconds rather than
	three in order to reduce false positive, as suggested by Ingo
	Molnar.

o	Produced a design document (http://lwn.net/Articles/305782/).
	The act of writing this document uncovered a number of both
	theoretical and "here and now" bugs as noted below.

o	Fix dynticks_nesting accounting confusion, simplify WARN_ON()
	condition, fix kerneldoc comments, and add memory barriers
	in dynticks interface functions.

o	Add more data to tracing.

o	Remove unused "rcu_barrier" field from rcu_data structure.

o	Count calls to rcu_pending() from scheduling-clock interrupt
	to use as a surrogate timebase should jiffies stop counting.

o	Fix a theoretical race between force_quiescent_state() and
	grace-period initialization.  Yes, initialization does have to
	go on for some jiffies for this race to occur, but given enough
	CPUs...

Updates from v6 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/9/23/448):

o	Fix a number of checkpatch.pl complaints.

o	Apply review comments from Ingo Molnar and Lai Jiangshan
	on the stall-detection code.

o	Fix several bugs in !CONFIG_SMP builds.

o	Fix a misspelled config-parameter name so that RCU now announces
	at boot time if stall detection is configured.

o	Run tests on numerous combinations of configurations parameters,
	which after the fixes above, now build and run correctly.

Updates from v5 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/9/15/92, bad subject line):

o	Fix a compiler error in the !CONFIG_FANOUT_EXACT case (blew a
	changeset some time ago, and finally got around to retesting
	this option).

o	Fix some tracing bugs in rcupreempt that caused incorrect
	totals to be printed.

o	I now test with a more brutal random-selection online/offline
	script (attached).  Probably more brutal than it needs to be
	on the people reading it as well, but so it goes.

o	A number of optimizations and usability improvements:

	o	Make rcu_pending() ignore the grace-period timeout when
		there is no grace period in progress.

	o	Make force_quiescent_state() avoid going for a global
		lock in the case where there is no grace period in
		progress.

	o	Rearrange struct fields to improve struct layout.

	o	Make call_rcu() initiate a grace period if RCU was
		idle, rather than waiting for the next scheduling
		clock interrupt.

	o	Invoke rcu_irq_enter() and rcu_irq_exit() only when
		idle, as suggested by Andi Kleen.  I still don't
		completely trust this change, and might back it out.

	o	Make CONFIG_RCU_TRACE be the single config variable
		manipulated for all forms of RCU, instead of the prior
		confusion.

	o	Document tracing files and formats for both rcupreempt
		and rcutree.

Updates from v4 for those missing v5 given its bad subject line:

o	Separated dynticks interface so that NMIs and irqs call separate
	functions, greatly simplifying it.  In particular, this code
	no longer requires a proof of correctness.  ;-)

o	Separated dynticks state out into its own per-CPU structure,
	avoiding the duplicated accounting.

o	The case where a dynticks-idle CPU runs an irq handler that
	invokes call_rcu() is now correctly handled, forcing that CPU
	out of dynticks-idle mode.

o	Review comments have been applied (thank you all!!!).
	For but one example, fixed the dynticks-ordering issue that
	Manfred pointed out, saving me much debugging.  ;-)

o	Adjusted rcuclassic and rcupreempt to handle dynticks changes.

Attached is an updated patch to Classic RCU that applies a hierarchy,
greatly reducing the contention on the top-level lock for large machines.
This passes 10-hour concurrent rcutorture and online-offline testing on
128-CPU ppc64 without dynticks enabled, and exposes some timekeeping
bugs in presence of dynticks (exciting working on a system where
"sleep 1" hangs until interrupted...), which were fixed in the
2.6.27 kernel.  It is getting more reliable than mainline by some
measures, so the next version will be against -tip for inclusion.
See also Manfred Spraul's recent patches (or his earlier work from
2004 at http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=108546384711797&w=2).
We will converge onto a common patch in the fullness of time, but are
currently exploring different regions of the design space.  That said,
I have already gratefully stolen quite a few of Manfred's ideas.

This patch provides CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT, which controls the bushiness
of the RCU hierarchy.  Defaults to 32 on 32-bit machines and 64 on
64-bit machines.  If CONFIG_NR_CPUS is less than CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT,
there is no hierarchy.  By default, the RCU initialization code will
adjust CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT to balance the hierarchy, so strongly NUMA
architectures may choose to set CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_EXACT to disable
this balancing, allowing the hierarchy to be exactly aligned to the
underlying hardware.  Up to two levels of hierarchy are permitted
(in addition to the root node), allowing up to 16,384 CPUs on 32-bit
systems and up to 262,144 CPUs on 64-bit systems.  I just know that I
am going to regret saying this, but this seems more than sufficient
for the foreseeable future.  (Some architectures might wish to set
CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT=4, which would limit such architectures to 64 CPUs.
If this becomes a real problem, additional levels can be added, but I
doubt that it will make a significant difference on real hardware.)

In the common case, a given CPU will manipulate its private rcu_data
structure and the rcu_node structure that it shares with its immediate
neighbors.  This can reduce both lock and memory contention by multiple
orders of magnitude, which should eliminate the need for the strange
manipulations that are reported to be required when running Linux on
very large systems.

Some shortcomings:

o	More bugs will probably surface as a result of an ongoing
	line-by-line code inspection.

	Patches will be provided as required.

o	There are probably hangs, rcutorture failures, &c.  Seems
	quite stable on a 128-CPU machine, but that is kind of small
	compared to 4096 CPUs.  However, seems to do better than
	mainline.

	Patches will be provided as required.

o	The memory footprint of this version is several KB larger
	than rcuclassic.

	A separate UP-only rcutiny patch will be provided, which will
	reduce the memory footprint significantly, even compared
	to the old rcuclassic.  One such patch passes light testing,
	and has a memory footprint smaller even than rcuclassic.
	Initial reaction from various embedded guys was "it is not
	worth it", so am putting it aside.

CONFIG_RCU_TRACE debugfs Files and Formats
The rcupreempt and rcutree implementations of RCU provide debugfs trace
output that summarizes counters and state. This information is useful for
debugging RCU itself, and can sometimes also help to debug abuses of RCU.
Note that the rcuclassic implementation of RCU does not provide debugfs
trace output.
The following sections describe the debugfs files and formats for
preemptable RCU (rcupreempt) and hierarchical RCU (rcutree).
Preemptable RCU debugfs Files and Formats
This implementation of RCU provides three debugfs files under the
top-level directory RCU: rcu/rcuctrs (which displays the per-CPU
counters used by preemptable RCU) rcu/rcugp (which displays grace-period
counters), and rcu/rcustats (which internal counters for debugging RCU).
The output of "cat rcu/rcuctrs" looks as follows:
CPU last cur F M
0 5 -5 0 0
1 -1 0 0 0
2 0 1 0 0
3 0 1 0 0
4 0 1 0 0
5 0 1 0 0
6 0 2 0 0
7 0 -1 0 0
8 0 1 0 0
ggp = 26226, state = waitzero
The per-CPU fields are as follows:
o "CPU" gives the CPU number. Offline CPUs are not displayed.
o "last" gives the value of the counter that is being decremented
for the current grace period phase. In the example above,
the counters sum to 4, indicating that there are still four
RCU read-side critical sections still running that started
before the last counter flip.
o "cur" gives the value of the counter that is currently being
both incremented (by rcu_read_lock()) and decremented (by
rcu_read_unlock()). In the example above, the counters sum to
1, indicating that there is only one RCU read-side critical section
still running that started after the last counter flip.
o "F" indicates whether RCU is waiting for this CPU to acknowledge
a counter flip. In the above example, RCU is not waiting on any,
which is consistent with the state being "waitzero" rather than
"waitack".
o "M" indicates whether RCU is waiting for this CPU to execute a
memory barrier. In the above example, RCU is not waiting on any,
which is consistent with the state being "waitzero" rather than
"waitmb".
o "ggp" is the global grace-period counter.
o "state" is the RCU state, which can be one of the following:
o "idle": there is no grace period in progress.
o "waitack": RCU just incremented the global grace-period
counter, which has the effect of reversing the roles of
the "last" and "cur" counters above, and is waiting for
all the CPUs to acknowledge the flip. Once the flip has
been acknowledged, CPUs will no longer be incrementing
what are now the "last" counters, so that their sum will
decrease monotonically down to zero.
o "waitzero": RCU is waiting for the sum of the "last" counters
to decrease to zero.
o "waitmb": RCU is waiting for each CPU to execute a memory
barrier, which ensures that instructions from a given CPU's
last RCU read-side critical section cannot be reordered
with instructions following the memory-barrier instruction.
The output of "cat rcu/rcugp" looks as follows:
oldggp=48870 newggp=48873
Note that reading from this file provokes a synchronize_rcu(). The
"oldggp" value is that of "ggp" from rcu/rcuctrs above, taken before
executing the synchronize_rcu(), and the "newggp" value is also the
"ggp" value, but taken after the synchronize_rcu() command returns.
The output of "cat rcu/rcugp" looks as follows:
na=1337955 nl=40 wa=1337915 wl=44 da=1337871 dl=0 dr=1337871 di=1337871
1=50989 e1=6138 i1=49722 ie1=82 g1=49640 a1=315203 ae1=265563 a2=49640
z1=1401244 ze1=1351605 z2=49639 m1=5661253 me1=5611614 m2=49639
These are counters tracking internal preemptable-RCU events, however,
some of them may be useful for debugging algorithms using RCU. In
particular, the "nl", "wl", and "dl" values track the number of RCU
callbacks in various states. The fields are as follows:
o "na" is the total number of RCU callbacks that have been enqueued
since boot.
o "nl" is the number of RCU callbacks waiting for the previous
grace period to end so that they can start waiting on the next
grace period.
o "wa" is the total number of RCU callbacks that have started waiting
for a grace period since boot. "na" should be roughly equal to
"nl" plus "wa".
o "wl" is the number of RCU callbacks currently waiting for their
grace period to end.
o "da" is the total number of RCU callbacks whose grace periods
have completed since boot. "wa" should be roughly equal to
"wl" plus "da".
o "dr" is the total number of RCU callbacks that have been removed
from the list of callbacks ready to invoke. "dr" should be roughly
equal to "da".
o "di" is the total number of RCU callbacks that have been invoked
since boot. "di" should be roughly equal to "da", though some
early versions of preemptable RCU had a bug so that only the
last CPU's count of invocations was displayed, rather than the
sum of all CPU's counts.
o "1" is the number of calls to rcu_try_flip(). This should be
roughly equal to the sum of "e1", "i1", "a1", "z1", and "m1"
described below. In other words, the number of times that
the state machine is visited should be equal to the sum of the
number of times that each state is visited plus the number of
times that the state-machine lock acquisition failed.
o "e1" is the number of times that rcu_try_flip() was unable to
acquire the fliplock.
o "i1" is the number of calls to rcu_try_flip_idle().
o "ie1" is the number of times rcu_try_flip_idle() exited early
due to the calling CPU having no work for RCU.
o "g1" is the number of times that rcu_try_flip_idle() decided
to start a new grace period. "i1" should be roughly equal to
"ie1" plus "g1".
o "a1" is the number of calls to rcu_try_flip_waitack().
o "ae1" is the number of times that rcu_try_flip_waitack() found
that at least one CPU had not yet acknowledge the new grace period
(AKA "counter flip").
o "a2" is the number of time rcu_try_flip_waitack() found that
all CPUs had acknowledged. "a1" should be roughly equal to
"ae1" plus "a2". (This particular output was collected on
a 128-CPU machine, hence the smaller-than-usual fraction of
calls to rcu_try_flip_waitack() finding all CPUs having already
acknowledged.)
o "z1" is the number of calls to rcu_try_flip_waitzero().
o "ze1" is the number of times that rcu_try_flip_waitzero() found
that not all of the old RCU read-side critical sections had
completed.
o "z2" is the number of times that rcu_try_flip_waitzero() finds
the sum of the counters equal to zero, in other words, that
all of the old RCU read-side critical sections had completed.
The value of "z1" should be roughly equal to "ze1" plus
"z2".
o "m1" is the number of calls to rcu_try_flip_waitmb().
o "me1" is the number of times that rcu_try_flip_waitmb() finds
that at least one CPU has not yet executed a memory barrier.
o "m2" is the number of times that rcu_try_flip_waitmb() finds that
all CPUs have executed a memory barrier.
Hierarchical RCU debugfs Files and Formats
This implementation of RCU provides three debugfs files under the
top-level directory RCU: rcu/rcudata (which displays fields in struct
rcu_data), rcu/rcugp (which displays grace-period counters), and
rcu/rcuhier (which displays the struct rcu_node hierarchy).
The output of "cat rcu/rcudata" looks as follows:
rcu:
0 c=4011 g=4012 pq=1 pqc=4011 qp=0 rpfq=1 rp=3c2a dt=23301/73 dn=2 df=1882 of=0 ri=2126 ql=2 b=10

The first section lists the rcu_data structures for rcu, the second for
rcu_bh. Each section has one line per CPU, or eight for this 8-CPU system.
The fields are as follows:
o The number at the beginning of each line is the CPU number.
CPUs numbers followed by an exclamation mark are offline,
but have been online at least once since boot. There will be
no output for CPUs that have never been online, which can be
a good thing in the surprisingly common case where NR_CPUS is
substantially larger than the number of actual CPUs.
o "c" is the count of grace periods that this CPU believes have
completed. CPUs in dynticks idle mode may lag quite a ways
behind, for example, CPU 4 under "rcu" above, which has slept
through the past 25 RCU grace periods. It is not unusual to
see CPUs lagging by thousands of grace periods.
o "g" is the count of grace periods that this CPU believes have
started. Again, CPUs in dynticks idle mode may lag behind.
If the "c" and "g" values are equal, this CPU has already
reported a quiescent state for the last RCU grace period that
it is aware of, otherwise, the CPU believes that it owes RCU a
quiescent state.
o "pq" indicates that this CPU has passed through a quiescent state
for the current grace period. It is possible for "pq" to be
"1" and "c" different than "g", which indicates that although
the CPU has passed through a quiescent state, either (1) this
CPU has not yet reported that fact, (2) some other CPU has not
yet reported for this grace period, or (3) both.
o "pqc" indicates which grace period the last-observed quiescent
state for this CPU corresponds to. This is important for handling
the race between CPU 0 reporting an extended dynticks-idle
quiescent state for CPU 1 and CPU 1 suddenly waking up and
reporting its own quiescent state. If CPU 1 was the last CPU
for the current grace period, then the CPU that loses this race
will attempt to incorrectly mark CPU 1 as having checked in for
the next grace period!
o "qp" indicates that RCU still expects a quiescent state from
this CPU.
o "rpfq" is the number of rcu_pending() calls on this CPU required
to induce this CPU to invoke force_quiescent_state().
o "rp" is low-order four hex digits of the count of how many times
rcu_pending() has been invoked on this CPU.
o "dt" is the current value of the dyntick counter that is incremented
when entering or leaving dynticks idle state, either by the
scheduler or by irq. The number after the "/" is the interrupt
nesting depth when in dyntick-idle state, or one greater than
the interrupt-nesting depth otherwise.
This field is displayed only for CONFIG_NO_HZ kernels.
o "dn" is the current value of the dyntick counter that is incremented
when entering or leaving dynticks idle state via NMI. If both
the "dt" and "dn" values are even, then this CPU is in dynticks
idle mode and may be ignored by RCU. If either of these two
counters is odd, then RCU must be alert to the possibility of
an RCU read-side critical section running on this CPU.
This field is displayed only for CONFIG_NO_HZ kernels.
o "df" is the number of times that some other CPU has forced a
quiescent state on behalf of this CPU due to this CPU being in
dynticks-idle state.
This field is displayed only for CONFIG_NO_HZ kernels.
o "of" is the number of times that some other CPU has forced a
quiescent state on behalf of this CPU due to this CPU being
offline. In a perfect world, this might neve happen, but it
turns out that offlining and onlining a CPU can take several grace
periods, and so there is likely to be an extended period of time
when RCU believes that the CPU is online when it really is not.
Please note that erring in the other direction (RCU believing a
CPU is offline when it is really alive and kicking) is a fatal
error, so it makes sense to err conservatively.
o "ri" is the number of times that RCU has seen fit to send a
reschedule IPI to this CPU in order to get it to report a
quiescent state.
o "ql" is the number of RCU callbacks currently residing on
this CPU. This is the total number of callbacks, regardless
of what state they are in (new, waiting for grace period to
start, waiting for grace period to end, ready to invoke).
o "b" is the batch limit for this CPU. If more than this number
of RCU callbacks is ready to invoke, then the remainder will
be deferred.
The output of "cat rcu/rcugp" looks as follows:
rcu: completed=33062 gpnum=33063
rcu_bh: completed=464 gpnum=464
Again, this output is for both "rcu" and "rcu_bh". The fields are
taken from the rcu_state structure, and are as follows:
o "completed" is the number of grace periods that have completed.
It is comparable to the "c" field from rcu/rcudata in that a
CPU whose "c" field matches the value of "completed" is aware
that the corresponding RCU grace period has completed.
o "gpnum" is the number of grace periods that have started. It is
comparable to the "g" field from rcu/rcudata in that a CPU
whose "g" field matches the value of "gpnum" is aware that the
corresponding RCU grace period has started.
If these two fields are equal (as they are for "rcu_bh" above),
then there is no grace period in progress, in other words, RCU
is idle. On the other hand, if the two fields differ (as they

This is once again split into "rcu" and "rcu_bh" portions. The fields are
as follows:
o "c" is exactly the same as "completed" under rcu/rcugp.
o "g" is exactly the same as "gpnum" under rcu/rcugp.
o "s" is the "signaled" state that drives force_quiescent_state()'s
state machine.
o "jfq" is the number of jiffies remaining for this grace period
before force_quiescent_state() is invoked to help push things
along. Note that CPUs in dyntick-idle mode thoughout the grace
period will not report on their own, but rather must be check by
some other CPU via force_quiescent_state().
o "j" is the low-order four hex digits of the jiffies counter.
Yes, Paul did run into a number of problems that turned out to
be due to the jiffies counter no longer counting. Why do you ask?
o "nfqs" is the number of calls to force_quiescent_state() since
boot.
o "nfqsng" is the number of useless calls to force_quiescent_state(),
where there wasn't actually a grace period active. This can
happen due to races. The number in parentheses is the difference
between "nfqs" and "nfqsng", or the number of times that
force_quiescent_state() actually did some real work.
o "fqlh" is the number of calls to force_quiescent_state() that
exited immediately (without even being counted in nfqs above)
due to contention on ->fqslock.
o Each element of the form "1/1 0:127 ^0" represents one struct
rcu_node. Each line represents one level of the hierarchy, from
root to leaves. It is best to think of the rcu_data structures
as forming yet another level after the leaves. Note that there
might be either one, two, or three levels of rcu_node structures,
depending on the relationship between CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT and
CONFIG_NR_CPUS.
o The numbers separated by the "/" are the qsmask followed
by the qsmaskinit. The qsmask will have one bit
set for each entity in the next lower level that
has not yet checked in for the current grace period.
The qsmaskinit will have one bit for each entity that is
currently expected to check in during each grace period.
The value of qsmaskinit is assigned to that of qsmask
at the beginning of each grace period.
For example, for "rcu", the qsmask of the first entry
of the lowest level is 0x14, meaning that we are still
waiting for CPUs 2 and 4 to check in for the current
grace period.
o The numbers separated by the ":" are the range of CPUs
served by this struct rcu_node. This can be helpful
in working out how the hierarchy is wired together.
For example, the first entry at the lowest level shows
"0:5", indicating that it covers CPUs 0 through 5.
o The number after the "^" indicates the bit in the
next higher level rcu_node structure that this
rcu_node structure corresponds to.
For example, the first entry at the lowest level shows
"^0", indicating that it corresponds to bit zero in
the first entry at the middle level.
