different nodes Date: Thu, 22 Feb 2024 22:04:17 +0800

When a group of tasks that access different nodes are scheduled on the
same node, they may encounter bandwidth bottlenecks and access latency.

Thus, numa_aware flag is introduced here, allowing tasks to be distributed
across different nodes to fully utilize the advantage of multi-node
systems.

padata: Fix refcnt handling in padata_free_shell()

In a high-load arm64 environment, the pcrypt_aead01 test in LTP can lead
to system UAF (Use-After-Free) issues. Due to the lengthy analysis of
the pcrypt_aead01 function call, I'll describe the problem scenario
using a simplified model:

Suppose there's a user of padata named `user_function` that adheres to
the padata requirement of calling `padata_free_shell` after `serial()`
has been invoked, as demonstrated in the following code:

```c
struct request {
struct padata_priv padata;
struct completion *done;
};

void parallel(struct padata_priv *padata) {
do_something();
}

void serial(struct padata_priv *padata) {
struct request *request = container_of(padata,
struct request,
padata);
complete(request->done);
}

void user_function() {
DECLARE_COMPLETION(done)
padata->parallel = parallel;
padata->serial = serial;
padata_do_parallel();
wait_for_completion(&done);
padata_free_shell();
}
```

In the corresponding padata.c file, there's the following code:

```c
static void padata_serial_worker(struct work_struct *serial_work) {
...
cnt = 0;

while (!list_empty(&local_list)) {
...
padata->serial(padata);
cnt++;
}

local_bh_enable();

if (refcount_sub_and_test(cnt, &pd->refcnt))
padata_free_pd(pd);
}
```

Because of the high system load and the accumulation of unexecuted
softirq at this moment, `local_bh_enable()` in padata takes longer
to execute than usual. Subsequently, when accessing `pd->refcnt`,
`pd` has already been released by `padata_free_shell()`, resulting
in a UAF issue with `pd->refcnt`.

The fix is straightforward: add `refcount_dec_and_test` before calling
`padata_free_pd` in `padata_free_shell`.

Kernel panic - not syncing: hung_task: blocked tasks

For padata_do_parallel, when the return err is 0 or -EBUSY, it will call
wait_for_completion(&wait->completion) in test_aead_vec_cfg. In normal
case, aead_request_complete() will be called in pcrypt_aead_serial and the
return err is 0 for padata_do_parallel. But, when pinst->flags is
PADATA_RESET, the return err is -EBUSY for padata_do_parallel, and it
won't call aead_request_complete(). Therefore, test_aead_vec_cfg will
hung at wait_for_completion(&wait->completion), which will cause
hungtask.

The problem comes as following:
(padata_do_parallel) |
rcu_read_lock_bh(); |
err = -EINVAL; | (padata_replace)
| pinst->flags |= PADATA_RESET;
err = -EBUSY |
if (pinst->flags & PADATA_RESET) |
rcu_read_unlock_bh() |
return err

In order to resolve the problem, we replace the return err -EBUSY with
-EAGAIN, which means parallel_data is changing, and the caller should call
it again.

v3:
remove retry and just change the return err.
v2:
introduce padata_try_do_parallel() in pcrypt_aead_encrypt and
pcrypt_aead_decrypt to solve the hungtask.

padata: Mark padata_work_init() as __ref

When building arm64 allmodconfig + ThinLTO with clang and a proposed
modpost update to account for -ffuncton-sections, the following warning
appears:

WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o: section mismatch in reference: padata_work_init (section: .text.padata_work_init) -> padata_mt_helper (section: .init.text)
WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o: section mismatch in reference: padata_work_init (section: .text.padata_work_init) -> padata_mt_helper (section: .init.text)

LLVM has optimized padata_work_init() to include the address of
padata_mt_helper() directly because it inlined the other call to
padata_work_init() with padata_parallel_worker(), meaning the remaining
uses of padata_work_init() use padata_mt_helper() as the work_fn
argument. This optimization causes modpost to complain since
padata_work_init() is not __init, whereas padata_mt_helper() is.

Since padata_work_init() is only called from __init code when
padata_mt_helper() is passed as the work_fn argument, mark
padata_work_init() as __ref, which makes it clear to modpost that this
scenario is okay.

padata: add basic support for multithreaded jobs

Sometimes the kernel doesn't take full advantage of system memory
bandwidth, leading to a single CPU spending excessive time in
initialization paths where the data scales with memory size.

Multithreading naturally addresses this problem.

Extend padata, a framework that handles many parallel yet singlethreaded
jobs, to also handle multithreaded jobs by adding support for splitting up
the work evenly, specifying a minimum amount of work that's appropriate
for one helper thread to do, load balancing between helpers, and
coordinating them.

This is inspired by work from Pavel Tatashin and Steve Sistare.

padata: allocate work structures for parallel jobs from a pool

padata allocates per-CPU, per-instance work structs for parallel jobs. A
do_parallel call assigns a job to a sequence number and hashes the number
to a CPU, where the job will eventually run using the corresponding work.

This approach fit with how padata used to bind a job to each CPU
round-robin, makes less sense after commit bfde23ce200e6 ("padata: unbind
parallel jobs from specific CPUs") because a work isn't bound to a
particular CPU anymore, and isn't needed at all for multithreaded jobs
because they don't have sequence numbers.

Replace the per-CPU works with a preallocated pool, which allows sharing
them between existing padata users and the upcoming multithreaded user.
The pool will also facilitate setting NUMA-aware concurrency limits with
later users.

The pool is sized according to the number of possible CPUs. With this
limit, MAX_OBJ_NUM no longer makes sense, so remove it.

If the global pool is exhausted, a parallel job is run in the current task
instead to throttle a system trying to do too much in parallel.

padata: initialize earlier

padata will soon initialize the system's struct pages in parallel, so it
needs to be ready by page_alloc_init_late().

The error return from padata_driver_init() triggers an initcall warning,
so add a warning to padata_init() to avoid silent failure.

padata: remove exit routine

Patch series "padata: parallelize deferred page init", v3.

Deferred struct page init is a bottleneck in kernel boot--the biggest for
us and probably others. Optimizing it maximizes availability for
large-memory systems and allows spinning up short-lived VMs as needed
without having to leave them running. It also benefits bare metal
machines hosting VMs that are sensitive to downtime. In projects such as
VMM Fast Restart[1], where guest state is preserved across kexec reboot,
it helps prevent application and network timeouts in the guests.

So, multithread deferred init to take full advantage of system memory
bandwidth.

Extend padata, a framework that handles many parallel singlethreaded jobs,
to handle multithreaded jobs as well by adding support for splitting up
the work evenly, specifying a minimum amount of work that's appropriate
for one helper thread to do, load balancing between helpers, and
coordinating them. More documentation in patches 4 and 8.

This series is the first step in a project to address other memory
proportional bottlenecks in the kernel such as pmem struct page init, vfio
page pinning, hugetlb fallocate, and munmap. Deferred page init doesn't
require concurrency limits, resource control, or priority adjustments like
these other users will because it happens during boot when the system is
otherwise idle and waiting for page init to finish.

This has been run on a variety of x86 systems and speeds up kernel boot by
4% to 49%, saving up to 1.6 out of 4 seconds. Patch 6 has more numbers.

This patch (of 8):

padata_driver_exit() is unnecessary because padata isn't built as a module
and doesn't exit.

padata's init routine will soon allocate memory, so getting rid of the
exit function now avoids pointless code to free it.

padata: add separate cpuhp node for CPUHP_PADATA_DEAD

padata: add separate cpuhp node for CPUHP_PADATA_DEAD

Removing the pcrypt module triggers this:

general protection fault, probably for non-canonical
address 0xdead000000000122
CPU: 5 PID: 264 Comm: modprobe Not tainted 5.6.0+ #2
Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC
RIP: 0010:__cpuhp_state_remove_instance+0xcc/0x120
Call Trace:
padata_sysfs_release+0x74/0xce
kobject_put+0x81/0xd0
padata_free+0x12/0x20
pcrypt_exit+0x43/0x8ee [pcrypt]

padata instances wrongly use the same hlist node for the online and dead
states, so __padata_free()'s second cpuhp remove call chokes on the node
that the first poisoned.

cpuhp multi-instance callbacks only walk forward in cpuhp_step->list and
the same node is linked in both the online and dead lists, so the list
corruption that results from padata_alloc() adding the node to a second
list without removing it from the first doesn't cause problems as long
as no instances are freed.

Avoid the issue by giving each state its own node.
