The below cures them. All except the workqueue one are within reasonable

fix the wq one, or shall we just not care its too long?

d6e022f1d2 workqueue: handle NUMA_NO_NODE for unbound pool_workqueue lookup
When looking up the pool_workqueue to use for an unbound workqueue,
workqueue assumes that the target CPU is always bound to a valid NUMA
node.  However, currently, when a CPU goes offline, the mapping is
destroyed and cpu_to_node() returns NUMA_NO_NODE.

This has always been broken but hasn't triggered often enough before
874bbfe600 ("workqueue: make sure delayed work run in local cpu").
After the commit, workqueue forcifully assigns the local CPU for
delayed work items without explicit target CPU to fix a different
issue.  This widens the window where CPU can go offline while a
delayed work item is pending causing delayed work items dispatched
with target CPU set to an already offlined CPU.  The resulting
NUMA_NO_NODE mapping makes workqueue try to queue the work item on a
NULL pool_workqueue and thus crash.

While 874bbfe600 has been reverted for a different reason making the
bug less visible again, it can still happen.  Fix it by mapping
NUMA_NO_NODE to the default pool_workqueue from unbound_pwq_by_node().
This is a temporary workaround.  The long term solution is keeping CPU
-> NODE mapping stable across CPU off/online cycles which is being
worked on.

f303fccb82 workqueue: implement "workqueue.debug_force_rr_cpu" debug feature
Workqueue used to guarantee local execution for work items queued
without explicit target CPU.  The guarantee is gone now which can
break some usages in subtle ways.  To flush out those cases, this
patch implements a debug feature which forces round-robin CPU
selection for all such work items.

The debug feature defaults to off and can be enabled with a kernel
parameter.  The default can be flipped with a debug config option.

If you hit this commit during bisection, please refer to 041bd12e27

ef55718044 workqueue: schedule WORK_CPU_UNBOUND work on wq_unbound_cpumask CPUs
WORK_CPU_UNBOUND work items queued to a bound workqueue always run
locally.  This is a good thing normally, but not when the user has
asked us to keep unbound work away from certain CPUs.  Round robin
these to wq_unbound_cpumask CPUs instead, as perturbation avoidance
trumps performance.

tj: Cosmetic and comment changes.  WARN_ON_ONCE() dropped from empty
    (wq_unbound_cpumask AND cpu_online_mask).  If we want that, it
    should be done when config changes.

041bd12e27 Revert "workqueue: make sure delayed work run in local cpu"
This reverts commit 874bbfe600.

Workqueue used to implicity guarantee that work items queued without
explicit CPU specified are put on the local CPU.  Recent changes in
timer broke the guarantee and led to vmstat breakage which was fixed
by 176bed1de5 ("vmstat: explicitly schedule per-cpu work on the CPU
we need it to run on").

vmstat is the most likely to expose the issue and it's quite possible
that there are other similar problems which are a lot more difficult
to trigger.  As a preventive measure, 874bbfe600 ("workqueue: make
sure delayed work run in local cpu") was applied to restore the local
CPU guarnatee.  Unfortunately, the change exposed a bug in timer code
which got fixed by 22b886dd10 ("timers: Use proper base migration in
add_timer_on()").  Due to code restructuring, the commit couldn't be
backported beyond certain point and stable kernels which only had
874bbfe600 started crashing.

The local CPU guarantee was accidental more than anything else and we
want to get rid of it anyway.  As, with the vmstat case fixed,
874bbfe600 is causing more problems than it's fixing, it has been
decided to take the chance and officially break the guarantee by
reverting the commit.  A debug feature will be added to force foreign
CPU assignment to expose cases relying on the guarantee and fixes for
the individual cases will be backported to stable as necessary.

23d11a58a9 workqueue: skip flush dependency checks for legacy workqueues
fca839c00a ("workqueue: warn if memory reclaim tries to flush
!WQ_MEM_RECLAIM workqueue") implemented flush dependency warning which
triggers if a PF_MEMALLOC task or WQ_MEM_RECLAIM workqueue tries to
flush a !WQ_MEM_RECLAIM workquee.

This assumes that workqueues marked with WQ_MEM_RECLAIM sit in memory
reclaim path and making it depend on something which may need more
memory to make forward progress can lead to deadlocks.  Unfortunately,
workqueues created with the legacy create*_workqueue() interface
always have WQ_MEM_RECLAIM regardless of whether they are depended
upon memory reclaim or not.  These spurious WQ_MEM_RECLAIM markings
cause spurious triggering of the flush dependency checks.

82607adcf9 workqueue: implement lockup detector
Workqueue stalls can happen from a variety of usage bugs such as
missing WQ_MEM_RECLAIM flag or concurrency managed work item
indefinitely staying RUNNING.  These stalls can be extremely difficult
to hunt down because the usual warning mechanisms can't detect
workqueue stalls and the internal state is pretty opaque.

To alleviate the situation, this patch implements workqueue lockup
detector.  It periodically monitors all worker_pools periodically and,
if any pool failed to make forward progress longer than the threshold
duration, triggers warning and dumps workqueue state as follows.

 BUG: workqueue lockup - pool cpus=0 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 stuck for 31s!
 Showing busy workqueues and worker pools:
 workqueue events: flags=0x0
   pwq 0: cpus=0 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 active=17/256

   pwq 0: cpus=0 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 active=1/1
     pending: cgroup_pidlist_destroy_work_fn
 ...

The detection mechanism is controller through kernel parameter
workqueue.watchdog_thresh and can be updated at runtime through the
sysfs module parameter file.

v2: Decoupled from softlockup control knobs.

874bbfe600 workqueue: make sure delayed work run in local cpu
My system keeps crashing with below message. vmstat_update() schedules a delayed
work in current cpu and expects the work runs in the cpu.
schedule_delayed_work() is expected to make delayed work run in local cpu. The
problem is timer can be migrated with NO_HZ. __queue_work() queues work in
timer handler, which could run in a different cpu other than where the delayed
work is scheduled. The end result is the delayed work runs in different cpu.
The patch makes __queue_delayed_work records local cpu earlier. Where the timer
runs doesn't change where the work runs with the change.

25834c73f9 sched: Fix a race between __kthread_bind() and sched_setaffinity()
Because sched_setscheduler() checks p->flags & PF_NO_SETAFFINITY
without locks, a caller might observe an old value and race with the
set_cpus_allowed_ptr() call from __kthread_bind() and effectively undo
it:

	__kthread_bind()
	  do_set_cpus_allowed()
						<SYSCALL>
						  sched_setaffinity()
						    if (p->flags & PF_NO_SETAFFINITIY)
						    set_cpus_allowed_ptr()
	  p->flags |= PF_NO_SETAFFINITY

Fix the bug by putting everything under the regular scheduler locks.

This also closes a hole in the serialization of task_struct::{nr_,}cpus_allowed.

1dadafa86a workqueue: Make flush_workqueue() available again to non GPL modules
Commit 37b1ef31a5 ("workqueue: move
flush_scheduled_work() to workqueue.h") moved the exported non GPL
flush_scheduled_work() from a function to an inline wrapper.
Unfortunately, it directly calls flush_workqueue() which is a GPL function.
This has the effect of changing the licensing requirement for this function
and makes it unavailable to non GPL modules.

See commit ad7b1f841f ("workqueue: Make
schedule_work() available again to non GPL modules") for precedent.

02201e3f1b Minor merge needed, due to function move.
Main excitement here is Peter Zijlstra's lockless rbtree optimization to
 speed module address lookup.  He found some abusers of the module lock
 doing that too.
 
 A little bit of parameter work here too; including Dan Streetman's breaking
 up the big param mutex so writing a parameter can load another module (yeah,
 really).  Unfortunately that broke the usual suspects, !CONFIG_MODULES and
 !CONFIG_SYSFS, so those fixes were appended too.

d4d3e25797 workqueue: ensure attrs changes are properly synchronized
Current modification to attrs via sysfs is not fully synchronized.

Process A (change cpumask)      | Process B (change numa affinity)
wq_cpumask_store()              |
  wq_sysfs_prep_attrs()         |
                                | apply_workqueue_attrs()
  apply_workqueue_attrs()       |

It results that the Process B's operation is totally reverted
without any notification, it is a buggy behavior.  So this patch
moves wq_sysfs_prep_attrs() into the protection under wq_pool_mutex
to ensure attrs changes are properly synchronized.

a0111cf671 workqueue: separate out and refactor the locking of applying attrs
Applying attrs requires two locks: get_online_cpus() and wq_pool_mutex,
and this code is duplicated at two places (apply_workqueue_attrs() and
workqueue_set_unbound_cpumask()).  So we separate out this locking
code into apply_wqattrs_[un]lock() and do a minor refactor on
apply_workqueue_attrs().

The apply_wqattrs_[un]lock() will be also used on later patch for
ensuring attrs changes are properly synchronized.

f7142ed483 workqueue: simplify wq_update_unbound_numa()
wq_update_unbound_numa() is known be called with wq_pool_mutex held.

But wq_update_unbound_numa() requests wq->mutex before reading
wq->unbound_attrs, wq->numa_pwq_tbl[] and wq->dfl_pwq.  But these fields
were changed to be allowed being read with wq_pool_mutex held.  So we
simply remove the mutex_lock(&wq->mutex).

Without the dependence on the the mutex_lock(&wq->mutex), the test
of wq->unbound_attrs->no_numa can also be moved upward.

The old code need a long comment to describe the stableness of
@wq->unbound_attrs which is also guaranteed by wq_pool_mutex now,
so we don't need this such comment.

5b95e1af8d workqueue: wq_pool_mutex protects the attrs-installation
Current wq_pool_mutex doesn't proctect the attrs-installation, it results
that ->unbound_attrs, ->numa_pwq_tbl[] and ->dfl_pwq can only be accessed
under wq->mutex and causes some inconveniences. Example, wq_update_unbound_numa()
has to acquire wq->mutex before fetching the wq->unbound_attrs->no_numa
and the old_pwq.

attrs-installation is a short operation, so this change will no cause any
latency for other operations which also acquire the wq_pool_mutex.

The only unprotected attrs-installation code is in apply_workqueue_attrs(),
so this patch touches code less than comments.

It is also a preparation patch for next several patches which read
wq->unbound_attrs, wq->numa_pwq_tbl[] and wq->dfl_pwq with
only wq_pool_mutex held.

042f7df15a workqueue: Allow modifying low level unbound workqueue cpumask
Allow to modify the low-level unbound workqueues cpumask through
sysfs. This is performed by traversing the entire workqueue list
and calling apply_wqattrs_prepare() on the unbound workqueues
with the new low level mask. Only after all the preparation are done,
we commit them all together.

Ordered workqueues are ignored from the low level unbound workqueue
cpumask, it will be handled in near future.

All the (default & per-node) pwqs are mandatorily controlled by
the low level cpumask. If the user configured cpumask doesn't overlap
with the low level cpumask, the low level cpumask will be used for the
wq instead.

The comment of wq_calc_node_cpumask() is updated and explicitly
requires that its first argument should be the attrs of the default
pwq.

The default wq_unbound_cpumask is cpu_possible_mask.  The workqueue
subsystem doesn't know its best default value, let the system manager
or the other subsystem set it when needed.

Changed from V8:
  merge the calculating code for the attrs of the default pwq together.
  minor change the code&comments for saving the user configured attrs.
  remove unnecessary list_del().
  minor update the comment of wq_calc_node_cpumask().
  update the comment of workqueue_set_unbound_cpumask();

b05a79280b workqueue: Create low-level unbound workqueues cpumask
Create a cpumask that limits the affinity of all unbound workqueues.
This cpumask is controlled through a file at the root of the workqueue
sysfs directory.

It works on a lower-level than the per WQ_SYSFS workqueues cpumask files
such that the effective cpumask applied for a given unbound workqueue is
the intersection of /sys/devices/virtual/workqueue/$WORKQUEUE/cpumask and
the new /sys/devices/virtual/workqueue/cpumask file.

This patch implements the basic infrastructure and the read interface.
wq_unbound_cpumask is initially set to cpu_possible_mask.

2d5f0764b5 workqueue: split apply_workqueue_attrs() into 3 stages
Current apply_workqueue_attrs() includes pwqs-allocation and pwqs-installation,
so when we batch multiple apply_workqueue_attrs()s as a transaction, we can't
ensure the transaction must succeed or fail as a complete unit.

To solve this, we split apply_workqueue_attrs() into three stages.
The first stage does the preparation: allocation memory, pwqs.
The second stage does the attrs-installaion and pwqs-installation.
The third stage frees the allocated memory and (old or unused) pwqs.

As the result, batching multiple apply_workqueue_attrs()s can
succeed or fail as a complete unit:
	1) batch do all the first stage for all the workqueues
	2) only commit all when all the above succeed.

This patch is a preparation for the next patch ("Allow modifying low level
unbound workqueue cpumask") which will do a multiple apply_workqueue_attrs().

The patch doesn't have functionality changed except two minor adjustment:
	1) free_unbound_pwq() for the error path is removed, we use the
	   heavier version put_pwq_unlocked() instead since the error path
	   is rare. this adjustment simplifies the code.
	2) the memory-allocation is also moved into wq_pool_mutex.
	   this is needed to avoid to do the further splitting.

tj: minor updates to comments.

6ba94429c8 workqueue: Reorder sysfs code
The sysfs code usually belongs to the botom of the file since it deals
with high level objects. In the workqueue code it's misplaced and such
that we'll need to work around functions references to allow the sysfs
code to call APIs like apply_workqueue_attrs().

Lets move that block further in the file, almost the botom.

And declare workqueue_sysfs_unregister() just before destroy_workqueue()
which reference it.

tj: Moved workqueue_sysfs_unregister() forward declaration where other
    forward declarations are.

3494fc3084 workqueue: dump workqueues on sysrq-t
Workqueues are used extensively throughout the kernel but sometimes
it's difficult to debug stalls involving work items because visibility
into its inner workings is fairly limited.  Although sysrq-t task dump
annotates each active worker task with the information on the work
item being executed, it is challenging to find out which work items
are pending or delayed on which queues and how pools are being
managed.

This patch implements show_workqueue_state() which dumps all busy
workqueues and pools and is called from the sysrq-t handler.  At the
end of sysrq-t dump, something like the following is printed.

 Showing busy workqueues and worker pools:
 ...
 workqueue filler_wq: flags=0x0
   pwq 2: cpus=1 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 active=2/256
     in-flight: 491:filler_workfn, 507:filler_workfn
   pwq 0: cpus=0 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 active=2/256
     in-flight: 501:filler_workfn
     pending: filler_workfn
 ...
 workqueue test_wq: flags=0x8
   pwq 2: cpus=1 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 active=1/1
     in-flight: 510(RESCUER):test_workfn BAR(69) BAR(500)
     delayed: test_workfn1 BAR(492), test_workfn2
 ...
 pool 0: cpus=0 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 workers=2 manager: 137
 pool 2: cpus=1 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 workers=3 manager: 469
 pool 3: cpus=1 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=-20 workers=2 idle: 16
 pool 8: cpus=0-3 flags=0x4 nice=0 workers=2 manager: 62

The above shows that test_wq is executing test_workfn() on pid 510
which is the rescuer and also that there are two tasks 69 and 500
waiting for the work item to finish in flush_work().  As test_wq has
max_active of 1, there are two work items for test_workfn1() and
test_workfn2() which are delayed till the current work item is
finished.  In addition, pid 492 is flushing test_workfn1().

The work item for test_workfn() is being executed on pwq of pool 2
which is the normal priority per-cpu pool for CPU 1.  The pool has
three workers, two of which are executing filler_workfn() for
filler_wq and the last one is assuming the manager role trying to
create more workers.

This extra workqueue state dump will hopefully help chasing down hangs
involving workqueues.

v3: cpulist_pr_cont() replaced with "%*pbl" printf formatting.

v2: As suggested by Andrew, minor formatting change in pr_cont_work(),
    printk()'s replaced with pr_info()'s, and cpumask printing now
    uses cpulist_pr_cont().

e2dca7adff workqueue: make the workqueues list RCU walkable
The workqueues list is protected by wq_pool_mutex and a workqueue and
its subordinate data structures are freed directly on destruction.  We
want to add the ability dump workqueues from a sysrq callback which
requires walking all workqueues without grabbing wq_pool_mutex.  This
patch makes freeing of workqueues RCU protected and makes the
workqueues list walkable while holding RCU read lock.

Note that pool_workqueues and pools are already sched-RCU protected.
For consistency, workqueues are also protected with sched-RCU.

While at it, reverse the workqueues list so that a workqueue which is
created earlier comes before.  The order of the list isn't significant
functionally but this makes the planned sysrq dump list system
workqueues first.

cancel[_delayed]_work_sync() are implemented using
__cancel_work_timer() which grabs the PENDING bit using
try_to_grab_pending() and then flushes the work item with PENDING set
to prevent the on-going execution of the work item from requeueing
itself.

try_to_grab_pending() can always grab PENDING bit without blocking
except when someone else is doing the above flushing during
cancelation.  In that case, try_to_grab_pending() returns -ENOENT.  In
this case, __cancel_work_timer() currently invokes flush_work().  The
assumption is that the completion of the work item is what the other
canceling task would be waiting for too and thus waiting for the same
condition and retrying should allow forward progress without excessive
busy looping

Unfortunately, this doesn't work if preemption is disabled or the
latter task has real time priority.  Let's say task A just got woken
up from flush_work() by the completion of the target work item.  If,
before task A starts executing, task B gets scheduled and invokes
__cancel_work_timer() on the same work item, its try_to_grab_pending()
will return -ENOENT as the work item is still being canceled by task A
and flush_work() will also immediately return false as the work item
is no longer executing.  This puts task B in a busy loop possibly
preventing task A from executing and clearing the canceling state on
the work item leading to a hang.

task A			task B			worker

						executing work
__cancel_work_timer()
  try_to_grab_pending()
  set work CANCELING
  flush_work()
    block for work completion
						completion, wakes up A
			__cancel_work_timer()
			while (forever) {
			  try_to_grab_pending()
			    -ENOENT as work is being canceled
			  flush_work()
			    false as work is no longer executing
			}

This patch removes the possible hang by updating __cancel_work_timer()
to explicitly wait for clearing of CANCELING rather than invoking
flush_work() after try_to_grab_pending() fails with -ENOENT.

v3: bit_waitqueue() can't be used for work items defined in vmalloc
    area.  Switched to custom wake function which matches the target
    work item and exclusive wait and wakeup.

v2: v1 used wake_up() on bit_waitqueue() which leads to NULL deref if
    the target bit waitqueue has wait_bit_queue's on it.  Use
    DEFINE_WAIT_BIT() and __wake_up_bit() instead.  Reported by Tomeu

29187a9eea workqueue: fix subtle pool management issue which can stall whole worker_pool
A worker_pool's forward progress is guaranteed by the fact that the
last idle worker assumes the manager role to create more workers and
summon the rescuers if creating workers doesn't succeed in timely
manner before proceeding to execute work items.

This manager role is implemented in manage_workers(), which indicates
whether the worker may proceed to work item execution with its return
value.  This is necessary because multiple workers may contend for the
manager role, and, if there already is a manager, others should
proceed to work item execution.

Unfortunately, the function also indicates that the worker may proceed
to work item execution if need_to_create_worker() is false at the head
of the function.  need_to_create_worker() tests the following
conditions.

	pending work items && !nr_running && !nr_idle

The first and third conditions are protected by pool->lock and thus
won't change while holding pool->lock; however, nr_running can change
asynchronously as other workers block and resume and while it's likely
to be zero, as someone woke this worker up in the first place, some
other workers could have become runnable inbetween making it non-zero.

If this happens, manage_worker() could return false even with zero
nr_idle making the worker, the last idle one, proceed to execute work
items.  If then all workers of the pool end up blocking on a resource
which can only be released by a work item which is pending on that
pool, the whole pool can deadlock as there's no one to create more
workers or summon the rescuers.

This patch fixes the problem by removing the early exit condition from
maybe_create_worker() and making manage_workers() return false iff
there's already another manager, which ensures that the last worker
doesn't start executing work items.

We can leave the early exit condition alone and just ignore the return
value but the only reason it was put there is because the
manage_workers() used to perform both creations and destructions of
workers and thus the function may be invoked while the pool is trying
to reduce the number of workers.  Now that manage_workers() is called
only when more workers are needed, the only case this early exit
condition is triggered is rare race conditions rendering it pointless.

Tested with simulated workload and modified workqueue code which
trigger the pool deadlock reliably without this patch.

008847f66c workqueue: allow rescuer thread to do more work.
When there is serious memory pressure, all workers in a pool could be
blocked, and a new thread cannot be created because it requires memory
allocation.

In this situation a WQ_MEM_RECLAIM workqueue will wake up the
rescuer thread to do some work.

The rescuer will only handle requests that are already on ->worklist.
If max_requests is 1, that means it will handle a single request.

The rescuer will be woken again in 100ms to handle another max_requests
requests.

I've seen a machine (running a 3.0 based "enterprise" kernel) with
thousands of requests queued for xfslogd, which has a max_requests of
1, and is needed for retiring all 'xfs' write requests.  When one of
the worker pools gets into this state, it progresses extremely slowly
and possibly never recovers (only waited an hour or two).

With this patch we leave a pool_workqueue on mayday list
until it is clearly no longer in need of assistance.  This allows
all requests to be handled in a timely fashion.

We keep each pool_workqueue on the mayday list until
need_to_create_worker() is false, and no work for this workqueue is
found in the pool.

I have tested this in combination with a (hackish) patch which forces
all work items to be handled by the rescuer thread.  In that context
it significantly improves performance.  A similar patch for a 3.0
kernel significantly improved performance on a heavy work load.

Thanks to Jan Kara for some design ideas, and to Dongsu Park for
some comments and testing.

tj: Inverted the lock order between wq_mayday_lock and pool->lock with
    a preceding patch and simplified this patch.  Added comment and
    updated changelog accordingly.  Dongsu spotted missing get_pwq()
    in the simplified code.

b2d829096b workqueue: invert the order between pool->lock and wq_mayday_lock
Currently, pool->lock nests inside pool->lock.  There's no inherent
reason for this order.  The only place where the two locks are held
together is pool_mayday_timeout() and it just got decided that way.

This nesting order turns out to complicate things with the planned
rescuer_thread() update.  Let's invert them.  This doesn't cause any
behavior differences.

789cbbeca4 workqueue: Add quiescent state between work items
Similar to the stop_machine deadlock scenario on !PREEMPT kernels
addressed in b22ce2785d "workqueue: cond_resched() after processing
each work item", kworker threads requeueing back-to-back with zero jiffy
delay can stall RCU. The cond_resched call introduced in that fix will
yield only iff there are other higher priority tasks to run, so force a
quiescent RCU state between work items.

29b1cb416a workqueue: remove the stale comment in pwq_unbound_release_workfn()
In 75ccf5950f ("workqueue: prepare flush_workqueue() for dynamic
creation and destrucion of unbound pool_workqueues"), a comment
about the synchronization for the pwq in pwq_unbound_release_workfn()
was added. The comment claimed the flush_mutex wasn't strictly
necessary, it was correct in that time, due to the pwq was protected
by workqueue_lock.

But it is incorrect now since the wq->flush_mutex was renamed to
wq->mutex and workqueue_lock was removed, the wq->mutex is strictly
needed. But the comment was miss-updated when the synchronization
was changed.

This patch removes the incorrect comments and doesn't add any new
comment to explain why wq->mutex is needed here, which is definitely
obvious and wq->pwqs_node has "WQ" notation in its definition which is
better comment.

The old commit mentioned above also introduced a comment in link_pwq()
about the synchronization. This comment is also removed in this patch
since the whole link_pwq() is proteced by wq->mutex.

13b1d625ef workqueue: move rescuer pool detachment to the end
In 51697d3939 ("workqueue: use generic attach/detach routine for
rescuers"), The rescuer detaches itself from the pool before put_pwq()
so that the put_unbound_pool() will not destroy the rescuer-attached
pool.

It is unnecessary.  worker_detach_from_pool() can be used as the last
statement to access to the pool just like the regular workers,
put_unbound_pool() will wait for it to detach and then free the pool.

So we move the worker_detach_from_pool() down, make it coincide with
the regular workers.
