Subject: [PATCH 01/13] rcu/nocb: Fix potential missed nocb_timer rearm

Two situations can cause a missed nocb timer rearm:

1) rdp(CPU A) queues its nocb timer. The grace period elapses before
the timer get a chance to fire. The nocb_gp kthread is awaken by
rdp(CPU B). The nocb_cb kthread for rdp(CPU A) is awaken and
process the callbacks, again before the nocb_timer for CPU A get a
chance to fire. rdp(CPU A) queues a callback and wakes up nocb_gp
kthread, cancelling the pending nocb_timer without resetting the
corresponding nocb_defer_wakeup.

2) The "nocb_bypass_timer" ends up calling wake_nocb_gp() which deletes
the pending "nocb_timer" (note they are not the same timers) for the
given rdp without resetting the matching state stored in nocb_defer
wakeup.

On both situations, a future call_rcu() on that rdp may be fooled and
think the timer is armed when it's not, missing a deferred nocb_gp
wakeup.

Case 1) is very unlikely due to timing constraint (the timer fires after
1 jiffy) but still possible in theory. Case 2) is more likely to happen.
But in any case such scenario require the CPU to spend a long time
within a kernel thread without exiting to idle or user space, which is
a pretty exotic behaviour.

Fix this with resetting rdp->nocb_defer_wakeup everytime we disarm the
timer.

As discussed offlist, expanding the above scenario results in this
sequence of steps:

1. There are no callbacks queued for any CPU covered by CPU 0-2's
->nocb_gp_kthread.

2. CPU 0 enqueues its first callback with interrupts disabled, and
thus must defer awakening its ->nocb_gp_kthread. It therefore
queues its rcu_data structure's ->nocb_timer.

3. CPU 1, which shares the same ->nocb_gp_kthread, also enqueues a
callback, but with interrupts enabled, allowing it to directly
awaken the ->nocb_gp_kthread.

4. The newly awakened ->nocb_gp_kthread associates both CPU 0's
and CPU 1's callbacks with a future grace period and arranges
for that grace period to be started.

5. This ->nocb_gp_kthread goes to sleep waiting for the end of this
future grace period.

6. This grace period elapses before the CPU 0's timer fires.
This is normally improbably given that the timer is set for only
one jiffy, but timers can be delayed. Besides, it is possible
that kernel was built with CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD=y.

7. The grace period ends, so rcu_gp_kthread awakens the
->nocb_gp_kthread, which in turn awakens both CPU 0's and
CPU 1's ->nocb_cb_kthread.

8. CPU 0's ->nocb_cb_kthread invokes its callback.

9. Note that neither kthread updated any ->nocb_timer state,
so CPU 0's ->nocb_defer_wakeup is still set to either
RCU_NOCB_WAKE or RCU_NOCB_WAKE_FORCE.

10. CPU 0 enqueues its second callback, again with interrupts
disabled, and thus must again defer awakening its
->nocb_gp_kthread. However, ->nocb_defer_wakeup prevents
CPU 0 from queueing the timer.

So far so good, but why isn't the timer still queued from back in step 2?
What am I missing here? Either way, could you please update the commit
logs to tell the full story? At some later time, you might be very
happy that you did. ;-)

Thanx, Paul

I managed to recollect some pieces of my brain. So keep the above but
let's change the point 10:

10. CPU 0 enqueues its second callback, this time with interrupts
enabled so it can wake directly ->nocb_gp_kthread.
It does so with calling __wake_nocb_gp() which also cancels the
pending timer that got queued in step 2. But that doesn't reset
CPU 0's ->nocb_defer_wakeup which is still set to RCU_NOCB_WAKE.
So CPU 0's ->nocb_defer_wakeup and CPU 0's ->nocb_timer are now
desynchronized.

11. ->nocb_gp_kthread associates the callback queued in 10 with a new
grace period, arrange for it to start and sleeps on it.

12. The grace period ends, ->nocb_gp_kthread awakens and wakes up
CPU 0's ->nocb_cb_kthread which invokes the callback queued in 10.

13. CPU 0 enqueues its third callback, this time with interrupts
disabled so it tries to queue a deferred wakeup. However
->nocb_defer_wakeup has a stalled RCU_NOCB_WAKE value which prevents
the CPU 0's ->nocb_timer, that got cancelled in 10, from being armed.

14. CPU 0 has its pending callback and it may go unnoticed until
some other CPU ever wakes up ->nocb_gp_kthread or CPU 0 ever calls
an explicit deferred wake up caller like idle entry.

I hope I'm not missing something this time...

Thanks.

It nevertheless constitutes a bug in rcutorture. Or maybe an additional
challenge for the formal verification people. ;-)

Thank you, that does sound plausible. I guess I can see how rcutorture
might have missed this one!

I renumbered the CPUs, since the ->nocb_gp_kthread would normally be
associated with CPU 0. If the first CPU to enqueue a callback was also
CPU 0, nocb_gp_wait() might clear that CPU's ->nocb_defer_wakeup, which
would prevent this scenario from playing out. (But admittedly only if
some other CPU handled by this same ->nocb_gp_kthread used its bypass.)

At this point, CPU 1's rdp->nocb_defer_wakeup is RCU_NOCB_WAKE.

Agreed, and agreed that this is a bug. Thank you for persisting on

I was about to say that we can skip that one, the changelog will already be
big enough but the "Fixes:" tag refers to the second scenario, since it's the
oldest vulnerable commit AFAICS.

OK, how about if I queue a temporary commit (shown below) that just
calls out the first scenario so that I can start testing, and you get
me more detail on the second scenario? I can then update the commit.

commit 302fd54b9ae98f678624cbf9bf7a4ca88455a8f9

rcu/nocb: Fix missed nocb_timer requeue

This sequence of events can lead to a failure to requeue a CPU's
->nocb_timer:

1. There are no callbacks queued for any CPU covered by CPU 0-2's
->nocb_gp_kthread. Note that ->nocb_gp_kthread is associated
with CPU 0.

2. CPU 1 enqueues its first callback with interrupts disabled, and
thus must defer awakening its ->nocb_gp_kthread. It therefore
queues its rcu_data structure's ->nocb_timer. At this point,
CPU 1's rdp->nocb_defer_wakeup is RCU_NOCB_WAKE.

3. CPU 2, which shares the same ->nocb_gp_kthread, also enqueues a
callback, but with interrupts enabled, allowing it to directly
awaken the ->nocb_gp_kthread.

4. The newly awakened ->nocb_gp_kthread associates both CPU 1's
and CPU 2's callbacks with a future grace period and arranges
for that grace period to be started.

5. This ->nocb_gp_kthread goes to sleep waiting for the end of this
future grace period.

6. This grace period elapses before the CPU 1's timer fires.
This is normally improbably given that the timer is set for only
one jiffy, but timers can be delayed. Besides, it is possible
that kernel was built with CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD=y.

7. The grace period ends, so rcu_gp_kthread awakens the
->nocb_gp_kthread, which in turn awakens both CPU 1's and
CPU 2's ->nocb_cb_kthread. Then ->nocb_gb_kthread sleeps
waiting for more newly queued callbacks.

8. CPU 1's ->nocb_cb_kthread invokes its callback, then sleeps
waiting for more invocable callbacks.

9. Note that neither kthread updated any ->nocb_timer state,
so CPU 1's ->nocb_defer_wakeup is still set to RCU_NOCB_WAKE.

10. CPU 1 enqueues its second callback, this time with interrupts
enabled so it can wake directly ->nocb_gp_kthread.
It does so with calling wake_nocb_gp() which also cancels the
pending timer that got queued in step 2. But that doesn't reset
CPU 1's ->nocb_defer_wakeup which is still set to RCU_NOCB_WAKE.
So CPU 1's ->nocb_defer_wakeup and its ->nocb_timer are now
desynchronized.

11. ->nocb_gp_kthread associates the callback queued in 10 with a new
grace period, arranges for that grace period to start and sleeps
waiting for it to complete.

12. The grace period ends, rcu_gp_kthread awakens ->nocb_gp_kthread,
which in turn wakes up CPU 1's ->nocb_cb_kthread which then
invokes the callback queued in 10.

13. CPU 1 enqueues its third callback, this time with interrupts
disabled so it must queue a timer for a deferred wakeup. However
the value of its ->nocb_defer_wakeup is RCU_NOCB_WAKE which
incorrectly indicates that a timer is already queued. Instead,
CPU 1's ->nocb_timer was cancelled in 10. CPU 1 therefore fails
to queue the ->nocb_timer.

14. CPU 1 has its pending callback and it may go unnoticed until
some other CPU ever wakes up ->nocb_gp_kthread or CPU 1 ever
calls an explicit deferred wakeup, for example, during idle entry.

This commit fixes this bug by resetting rdp->nocb_defer_wakeup everytime
we delete the ->nocb_timer.

Sure, meanwhile here is an attempt for a nocb_bypass_timer based
scenario, it's overly hairy and perhaps I picture more power
in the hands of callbacks advancing on nocb_cb_wait() than it
really has:


0. CPU 0's ->nocb_cb_kthread just called rcu_do_batch() and
executed all the ready callbacks. Its segcblist is now
entirely empty. It's preempted while calling local_bh_enable().

1. A new callback is enqueued on CPU 0 with IRQs enabled. So
the ->nocb_gp_kthread for CPU 0-2's is awaken. Then a storm
of callbacks enqueue follows on CPU 0 and even reaches the
bypass queue. Note that ->nocb_gp_kthread is also associated
with CPU 0.

2. CPU 0 queues one last bypass callback.

3. The ->nocb_gp_kthread wakes up and associates a grace period
with the whole queue of regular callbacks on CPU 0. It also
tries to flush the bypass queue of CPU 0 but the bypass lock
is contended due to the concurrent enqueuing on the previous
step 2, so the flush fails.

4. This ->nocb_gp_kthread arms its ->nocb_bypass_timer and goes
to sleep waiting for the end of this future grace period.

5. This grace period elapses before the ->nocb_bypass_timer timer
fires. This is normally improbably given that the timer is set
for only two jiffies, but timers can be delayed. Besides, it
is possible that kernel was built with CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD=y.

6. The grace period ends, so rcu_gp_kthread awakens the
->nocb_gp_kthread but it doesn't get a chance to run on a CPU
before a while.

7. CPU 0's ->nocb_cb_kthread get back to the CPU after its preemption.
As it notices the new completed grace period, it advances the callbacks
and executes them. Then it gets preempted again on local_bh_enabled().

8. A new callback enqueue on CPU 0 flushes itself the bypass queue
because CPU 0's ->nocb_nobypass_count < nocb_nobypass_lim_per_jiffy.

9. CPUs from other ->nocb_gp_kthread groups (above CPU 2) initiate and
elapse a few grace periods. CPU 0's ->nocb_gp_kthread still hasn't
got an opportunity to run on a CPU and its ->nocb_bypass_timer still
hasn't fired.

10. CPU 0's ->nocb_cb_kthread wakes up from preemption. It notices the
new grace periods that have elapsed, advance all the callbacks and
executes them. Then it goes to sleep waiting for invocable callbacks.

11. CPU 0 enqueues a new callback with interrupts disabled, and
defers awakening its ->nocb_gp_kthread even though ->nocb_gp_sleep
is actually false. It therefore queues its rcu_data structure's
->nocb_timer. At this point, CPU 0's rdp->nocb_defer_wakeup is
RCU_NOCB_WAKE.

12. The ->nocb_bypass_timer finally fires! It doesn't wake up
->nocb_gp_kthread because it's actually awaken already.
But it cancels CPU 0's ->nocb_timer armed at 11. Yet it doesn't
re-initialize CPU 0's ->nocb_defer_wakeup which stays with the
stale RCU_NOCB_WAKE value. So CPU 0's->nocb_defer_wakeup and
its ->nocb_timer are now desynchronized.

13. The ->nocb_gp_kthread finally runs. It cancels the ->nocb_bypass_timer
which has already fired. It sees the new callback on CPU 0 and
associate it with a new grace period then sleep on it.

14. The grace period elapses, rcu_gp_kthread wakes up ->nocb_gb_kthread
which wakes up CPU 0's->nocb_cb_kthread which runs the callback.
Both ->nocb_gp_kthread and CPU 0's->nocb_cb_kthread now wait for new
callbacks.

15. CPU 0 enqueues another callback, again with interrupts
disabled so it must queue a timer for a deferred wakeup. However
the value of its ->nocb_defer_wakeup is RCU_NOCB_WAKE which
incorrectly indicates that a timer is already queued. Instead,
CPU 0's ->nocb_timer was cancelled in 12. CPU 0 therefore fails
to queue the ->nocb_timer.

16. CPU 0 has its pending callback and it may go unnoticed until
some other CPU ever wakes up ->nocb_gp_kthread or CPU 0 ever
calls an explicit deferred wakeup, for example, during idle entry.


Thanks.

I'm just not so sure about the above point 10. Even though a few grace periods
have elapsed, the callback queued in 8 is in RCU_NEXT_TAIL at this
point. Perhaps one more grace period is necessary after that.

Anyway, I need to be more awake as well before checking that again.

Thank you very much!

I must defer looking through this in detail until I am more awake,
but I do very much like the fine-grained exposition.
