The IRQ_WORK_BUSY flag is set right before we execute the
work. Once this flag value is set, the work enters a
claimable state again.
So if we have specific data to compute in our work, we ensure it's
either handled by another CPU or locally by enqueuing the work again.
This state machine is guanranteed by atomic operations on the flags.
So when we set IRQ_WORK_BUSY without using an xchg-like operation,
we break this guarantee as in the following summarized scenario:
CPU 1 CPU 2
----- -----
(flags = 0)
old_flags = flags;
(flags = 0)
cmpxchg(flags, old_flags,
old_flags | IRQ_WORK_FLAGS)
(flags = 3)
[...]
flags = IRQ_WORK_BUSY
(flags = 2)
func()
(sees flags = 3)
cmpxchg(flags, old_flags,
old_flags | IRQ_WORK_FLAGS)
(give up)
cmpxchg(flags, 2, 0);
(flags = 0)
CPU 1 claims a work and executes it, so it sets IRQ_WORK_BUSY and
the work is again in a claimable state. Now CPU 2 has new data to process
and try to claim that work but it may see a stale value of the flags
and think the work is still pending somewhere that will handle our data.
This is because CPU 1 doesn't set IRQ_WORK_BUSY atomically.
As a result, the data expected to be handle by CPU 2 won't get handled.
To fix this, use xchg() to set IRQ_WORK_BUSY, this way we ensure the CPU 2
will see the correct value with cmpxchg() using the expected ordering.

Work claiming wants to be SMP-safe.
And by the time we try to claim a work, if it is already executing
concurrently on another CPU, we want to succeed the claiming and queue
the work again because the other CPU may have missed the data we wanted
to handle in our work if it's about to complete there.
This scenario is summarized below:
CPU 1 CPU 2
----- -----
(flags = 0)
cmpxchg(flags, 0, IRQ_WORK_FLAGS)
(flags = 3)
[...]
xchg(flags, IRQ_WORK_BUSY)
(flags = 2)
func()
if (flags & IRQ_WORK_PENDING)
(not true)
cmpxchg(flags, flags, IRQ_WORK_FLAGS)
(flags = 3)
[...]
cmpxchg(flags, IRQ_WORK_BUSY, 0);
(fail, pending on CPU 2)
This state machine is synchronized using [cmp]xchg() on the flags.
As such, the early IRQ_WORK_PENDING check in CPU 2 above is racy.
By the time we check it, we may be dealing with a stale value because
we aren't using an atomic accessor. As a result, CPU 2 may "see"
that the work is still pending on another CPU while it may be
actually completing the work function exection already, leaving
our data unprocessed.
To fix this, we start by speculating about the value we wish to be
in the work->flags but we only make any conclusion after the value
returned by the cmpxchg() call that either claims the work or let
the current owner handle the pending work for us.

irq work can run on any arch even without IPI
support because of the hook on update_process_times().
So lets remove HAVE_IRQ_WORK because it doesn't reflect
any backend requirement.

We need some quick way to check if the CPU has stopped
its tick. This will be useful to implement the printk tick
using the irq work subsystem.

Don't stop the tick if we have pending irq works on the
queue, otherwise if the arch can't raise self-IPIs, we may not
find an opportunity to execute the pending works for a while.

On irq work initialization, let the user choose to define it
as "lazy" or not. "Lazy" means that we don't want to send
an IPI (provided the arch can anyway) when we enqueue this
work but we rather prefer to wait for the next timer tick
to execute our work if possible.
This is going to be a benefit for non-urgent enqueuers
(like printk in the future) that may prefer not to raise
an IPI storm in case of frequent enqueuing on short periods
of time.

klogd is woken up asynchronously from the tick in order
to do it safely.
However if printk is called when the tick is stopped, the reader
won't be woken up until the next interrupt, which might not fire
for a while. As a result, the user may miss some message.
To fix this, lets implement the printk tick using a lazy irq work.
This subsystem takes care of the timer tick state and can
fix up accordingly.

If the CPU is going offline, the printk_tick() would be executed here.
But now that printk_tick() is done with the irq_work code, it wont be
executed till the next tick. Could this cause a missed printk because
of this, if the cpu is going offline?
Actually, how does irq_work in general handle cpu offline work?

Good point, and that's not trivial to solve.
The hotplug down sequence does:
----->
CPU that offilines CPU offlining
-----------------
---------------------
cpu_down() {
__stop_machine(take_cpu_down)
take_cpu_down() {
__cpu_disable() {
* disable irqs in hw
* clear from online mask
}
move all tasks somewhere
}
while (!idle_cpu(offlining))
cpu_relax()
cpu_die();
<---------
So the offlining CPU goes to idle in the end once irqs are disabled in
the apic level. Does that include the timer tick? If so then the last
resort to offline without irq works in the queue is to make
take_cpu_down() ask for a retry if there are pending irq works during
its execution.
Now if we have printk() calls between __cpu_disable() and the idle
loop, they will be lost until the next onlining. Unless we do an
explicit call to printk_tick() from the idle loop if the CPU is
offline.
Note that !CONFIG_NO_HZ doesn't seem to handle that. Which makes me
wonder if the tick is really part of the whole IRQ disablement done in
__cpu_disable().

How about flushing all irq_work from CPU_DYING. The notifier is called
by stop_machine on the CPU that is going down. Grant you, the code will
not be called from irq context (so things like get_irq_regs() wont work)
but I'm not sure what the requirements are for irq_work in that regard
(Peter?). But irqs are disabled and the CPU is about to go offline.
Might as well flush the work.
I ran this against my stress_cpu_hotplug script (attached) and it seemed
to work fine. I even did a:
perf record ./stress-cpu-hotplug

Should we return false in that case? I don't know what can happen if
we wait for one more tick while the CPU is offline and apic is
deactivated.

We can just let it go and find out :-)
Heck, they get the warning, if the system crashes shortly afterwards,
they know why.

Looks good. Perf has already deactivated the cpu wide events on
CPU_DOWN_PREPARE. I suspect it's the only irq work enqueuer from NMI.
At this stage of cpu down hotplug, irqs are deactivated so the last
possible enqueuers before the CPU goes idle/down are from subsequent
CPU_DYING notifiers or the hotplug code.
There may be some printk() there but we never provided the guarantee
that klogd would be woken up on that thin window. !CONFIG_NO_HZ does
not call printk_needs_cpu() that takes cares of offlining. Its purpose
was actually to avoid a hang in old code anyway.
I'm adding this patch to my queue.
Thanks.
