[PATCH 5/5] genirq: Use the maple tree for IRQ descriptors management
Posted by Shanker Donthineni 2 years, 7 months ago
The current implementation uses a static bitmap and a radix tree
to manage IRQ allocation and irq_desc pointer store respectively.
However, the size of the bitmap is constrained by the build time
macro MAX_SPARSE_IRQS, which may not be sufficient to support the
high-end servers, particularly those with GICv4.1 hardware, which
require a large interrupt space to cover LPIs and vSGIs

The maple tree is a highly efficient data structure for storing
non-overlapping ranges and can handle a large number of entries,
up to ULONG_MAX. It can be utilized for both storing IRQD and
identifying available free spaces.

The IRQD management can be simplified by switching to a maple tree
data structure, which offers greater flexibility and scalability.
To support modern servers, the maximum number of IRQs has been
increased to INT_MAX, which provides a more adequate value than
the previous limit of NR_IRQS+8192.

This triggers because __kmem_cache_alloc_bulk() uses
lock_irq()/unlock_irq(). Seems nobody used it during early boot stage
yet. Though the maple tree conversion of the interrupt descriptor
storage which is the purpose of the patch in question makes that happen.

Fix below.

Thanks,

Looks like it should work. But I think we also need to adjust SLAB's
mm/slab.c kmem_cache_alloc_bulk() which does local_irq_disable(); /
local_irq_enable(); right?

Also if we enter this with IRQ's disabled, then we should take care about
the proper gfp flags. Looking at the patch [1] I see

WARN_ON(mas_store_gfp(&mas, desc, GFP_KERNEL) != 0);

so GFP_KERNEL would be wrong with irqs disabled, looks like a case for
GFP_ATOMIC.
OTOH I can see the thing it replaces was:

static RADIX_TREE(irq_desc_tree, GFP_KERNEL);

so that's also a GFP_KERNEL and we haven't seen debug splats from
might_alloc() checks before in this code?. That's weird, or maybe the case
of "we didn't enable irqs yet on this cpu being bootstrapped" is handled
differently than "we have temporarily disabled irqs"? Sure, during early
boot we should have all the memory and no need to reclaim...

Will you add the blurb, and the SLAB part, or should I? And once done should
I put it in slab tree for 6.3 or want to make it part of the series so it's
not blocked?

might_alloc()
  might_sleep_if()
    __might_sleep()
      WARN_ON(task->state != RUNNING);  <- Does not trigger
      __might_resched()
        if (.... || system_state == SYSTEM_BOOTING || ...)
           return;

As system_state is SYSTEM_BOOTING at this point the splats are not
happening.

The point is that interrupts are fully disabled during early boot and
there is no scheduler so there is no scheduling possible.

Quite some code in the kernel relies on GFP_KERNEL being functional
during that early boot stage. If the kernel runs out of memory that
early, then the chance of recovery is exactly 0.

Ooops. I missed that part. Let me add slab and blurb and send it as a
proper patch. Just take it into the slab tree. The maple tree conversion
has still some issues, so I don't expect it to be 6.3 material.

mm, slab/slub: Ensure kmem_cache_alloc_bulk() is available early
Posted by Thomas Gleixner 2 years, 7 months ago
The memory allocators are available during early boot even in the phase
where interrupts are disabled and scheduling is not yet possible.

The setup is so that GFP_KERNEL allocations work in this phase without
causing might_alloc() splats to be emitted because the system state is
SYSTEM_BOOTING at that point which prevents the warnings to trigger.

Most allocation/free functions use local_irq_save()/restore() or a lock
variant of that. But kmem_cache_alloc_bulk() and kmem_cache_free_bulk() use
local_[lock]_irq_disable()/enable(), which leads to a lockdep warning when
interrupts are enabled during the early boot phase.

This went unnoticed so far as there are no early users of these
interfaces. The upcoming conversion of the interrupt descriptor store from
radix_tree to maple_tree triggered this warning as maple_tree uses the bulk
interface.

Cure this by moving the kmem_cache_alloc/free() bulk variants of SLUB and
SLAB to local[_lock]_irq_save()/restore().

There is obviously no reclaim possible and required at this point so there
is no need to expand this coverage further.

No functional change.

Subject: [PATCH] mm, slab/slub: remove notes that bulk alloc/free needs
 interrupts enabled

The slab functions kmem_cache_[alloc|free]_bulk() have been documented
as requiring interrupts to be enabled, since their addition in 2015.
It's unclear whether that was a fundamental restriction, or an attempt
to save some cpu cycles by not having to save and restore the irq flags.

However, it appears that most of the code involved was/became safe to be
called with interrupts disabled, and the remaining bits were fixed by
commit f244b0182b8e ("mm, slab/slub: Ensure kmem_cache_alloc_bulk() is
available early"). While the commit was aimed at early boot scenario, we
can now also remove the documented restrictions for any interrupt
disabled scenarios.

I don't think so. The restriction is rather meant to avoid huge
allocations in atomic context which causes latencies and also might
deplete the atomic reserves.

So I rather avoid that and enforce !ATOMIC mode despite the
local_irq_save/restore() change which is really only to accomodate with
early boot.

Fair enough.

We could add some warning then? People might use the bulk alloc unknowingly
again e.g. via maple tree. GFP_KERNEL would warn through the existing
warning, but e.g. GFP_ATOMIC currently not.
Some maple tree users could use its preallocation instead outside of the
atomic context, when possible.

Correct.

Right.

The issue is that there might be maple_tree users which depend on
GFP_ATOMIC, but call in from interrupt enabled context, which is
legitimate today.

Willy might have some insight on that.

Not today, but eventually.  There are XArray users which modify the tree
in interrupt context or under some other spinlock that we can't drop
for them in order to do an allocation.  And I want to replace the radix
tree underpinnings of the XArray with the maple tree.  In my copious
spare time.

If any usage which you described, i.e. interrupt context or with a
spinlock held, where interrupts were disabled on acquisition of the
lock, ends up calling into kmem_cache_alloc_bulk() today, then that's
broken because kmem_cache_alloc_bulk() reenables interrupts
unconditionally.

So either such code does not exist as of today or it just gets lucky to
not run into the code path leading up to kmem_cache_alloc_bulk().

We have to clarify what the valid calling convention of
kmem_cache_alloc_bulk() is in the regular kernel context, i.e. outside
of early boot.

IRQD ??. Please write it out: interrupt descriptors

Changelogs have no space constraints and there is zero value to
introduce unreadable acronyms.

Nit. Can we please format this properly:

static struct maple_tree sparse_irqs = MTREE_INIT_EXT(sparse_irqs,
						      MT_FLAGS_ALLOC_RANGE |
					              MT_FLAGS_LOCK_EXTERN |
					              MT_FLAGS_USE_RCU,
                                                      sparse_irq_lock);

Other than that this looks really good.
