io-wq: small threadpool implementation for io_uring This adds support for io-wq, a smaller and specialized thread pool implementation. This is meant to replace workqueues for io_uring. Among the reasons for this addition are: - We can assign memory context smarter and more persistently if we manage the life time of threads. - We can drop various work-arounds we have in io_uring, like the async_list. - We can implement hashed work insertion, to manage concurrency of buffered writes without needing a) an extra workqueue, or b) needlessly making the concurrency of said workqueue very low which hurts performance of multiple buffered file writers. - We can implement cancel through signals, for cancelling interruptible work like read/write (or send/recv) to/from sockets. - We need the above cancel for being able to assign and use file tables from a process. - We can implement a more thorough cancel operation in general. - We need it to move towards a syslet/threadlet model for even faster async execution. For that we need to take ownership of the used threads. This list is just off the top of my head. Performance should be the same, or better, at least that's what I've seen in my testing. io-wq supports basic NUMA functionality, setting up a pool per node. io-wq hooks up to the scheduler schedule in/out just like workqueue and uses that to drive the need for more/less workers.

io-wq: make buffered file write hashed work map per-ctx Before the io-wq thread change, we maintained a hash work map and lock per-node per-ring. That wasn't ideal, as we really wanted it to be per ring. But now that we have per-task workers, the hash map ends up being just per-task. That'll work just fine for the normal case of having one task use a ring, but if you share the ring between tasks, then it's considerably worse than it was before. Make the hash map per ctx instead, which provides full per-ctx buffered write serialization on hashed writes. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>

io_wq: add get/put_work handlers to io_wq_create() For cancellation, we need to ensure that the work item stays valid for as long as ->cur_work is valid. Right now we can't safely dereference the work item even under the wqe->lock, because while the ->cur_work pointer will remain valid, the work could be completing and be freed in parallel. Only invoke ->get/put_work() on items we know that the caller queued themselves. Add IO_WQ_WORK_INTERNAL for io-wq to use, which is needed when we're queueing a flush item, for instance.

io-wq: eliminate the need for a manager thread io-wq relies on a manager thread to create/fork new workers, as needed. But there's really no strong need for it anymore. We have the following cases that fork a new worker: 1) Work queue. This is done from the task itself always, and it's trivial to create a worker off that path, if needed. 2) All workers have gone to sleep, and we have more work. This is called off the sched out path. For this case, use a task_work items to queue a fork-worker operation. 3) Hashed work completion. Don't think we need to do anything off this case. If need be, it could just use approach 2 as well. Part of this change is incrementing the running worker count before the fork, to avoid cases where we observe we need a worker and then queue creation of one. Then new work comes in, we fork a new one. That last queue operation should have waited for the previous worker to come up, it's quite possible we don't even need it. Hence move the worker running from before we fork it off to more efficiently handle that case. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>

io_uring/io-wq: close io-wq full-stop gap There is an old problem with io-wq cancellation where requests should be killed and are in io-wq but are not discoverable, e.g. in @next_hashed or @linked vars of io_worker_handle_work(). It adds some unreliability to individual request canellation, but also may potentially get __io_uring_cancel() stuck. For instance: 1) An __io_uring_cancel()'s cancellation round have not found any request but there are some as desribed. 2) __io_uring_cancel() goes to sleep 3) Then workers wake up and try to execute those hidden requests that happen to be unbound. As we already cancel all requests of io-wq there, set IO_WQ_BIT_EXIT in advance, so preventing 3) from executing unbound requests. The workers will initially break looping because of getting a signal as they are threads of the dying/exec()'ing user task.

Couple that with not having the manager hold a reference to the 'wq' and the normal SQPOLL exit will tear down the io-wq context appropriate. On the io-wq side, our wq context is per task, so only the task itself is manipulating ->manager and hence it's safe to check and clear without any extra locking.

io_uring/sqpoll: fix io-wq affinity when IORING_SETUP_SQPOLL is used If we setup the ring with SQPOLL, then that polling thread has its own io-wq setup. This means that if the application uses IORING_REGISTER_IOWQ_AFF to set the io-wq affinity, we should not be setting it for the invoking task, but rather the sqpoll task. Add an sqpoll helper that parks the thread and updates the affinity, and use that one if we're using SQPOLL.

io-wq: provide a way to limit max number of workers io-wq divides work into two categories: 1) Work that completes in a bounded time, like reading from a regular file or a block device. This type of work is limited based on the size of the SQ ring. 2) Work that may never complete, we call this unbounded work. The amount of workers here is just limited by RLIMIT_NPROC. For various uses cases, it's handy to have the kernel limit the maximum amount of pending workers for both categories. Provide a way to do with with a new IORING_REGISTER_IOWQ_MAX_WORKERS operation. IORING_REGISTER_IOWQ_MAX_WORKERS takes an array of two integers and sets the max worker count to what is being passed in for each category. The old values are returned into that same array. If 0 is being passed in for either category, it simply returns the current value. The value is capped at RLIMIT_NPROC. This actually isn't that important as it's more of a hint, if we're exceeding the value then our attempt to fork a new worker will fail. This happens naturally already if more than one node is in the system, as these values are per-node internally for io-wq.

This works fine by default, but isn't particularly handy for workloads that prefer more specific affinities, for either performance or isolation reasons. This adds IORING_REGISTER_IOWQ_AFF that allows the user to pass in a CPU mask that is then applied to IO thread workers, and an IORING_UNREGISTER_IOWQ_AFF that simply resets the masks back to the default of per-node. Note that no care is given to existing IO threads, they will need to go through a reschedule before the affinity is correct if they are already running or sleeping.

Performance should be the same, or better, at least that's what I've seen in my testing. io-wq supports basic NUMA functionality, setting up a pool per node. io-wq hooks up to the scheduler schedule in/out just like workqueue and uses that to drive the need for more/less workers.

io-wq: fork worker threads from original task Instead of using regular kthread kernel threads, create kernel threads that are like a real thread that the task would create. This ensures that we get all the context that we need, without having to carry that state around. This greatly reduces the code complexity, and the risk of missing state for a given request type. With the move away from kthread, we can also dump everything related to assigned state to the new threads. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>

kthread: Generalize pf_io_worker so it can point to struct kthread The point of using set_child_tid to hold the kthread pointer was that it already did what is necessary. There are now restrictions on when set_child_tid can be initialized and when set_child_tid can be used in schedule_tail. Which indicates that continuing to use set_child_tid to hold the kthread pointer is a bad idea. Instead of continuing to use the set_child_tid field of task_struct generalize the pf_io_worker field of task_struct and use it to hold the kthread pointer. Rename pf_io_worker (which is a void * pointer) to worker_private so it can be used to store kthreads struct kthread pointer. Update the kthread code to store the kthread pointer in the worker_private field. Remove the places where set_child_tid had to be dealt with carefully because kthreads also used it.
