[PATCH] Add debugging feature /proc/timer_stat Add /proc/timer_stats support: debugging feature to profile timer expiration. Both the starting site, process/PID and the expiration function is captured. This allows the quick identification of timer event sources in a system.

Add support for deferrable timers Introduce a new flag for timers - deferrable: Timers that work normally when system is busy. But, will not cause CPU to come out of idle (just to service this timer), when CPU is idle. Instead, this timer will be serviced when CPU eventually wakes up with a subsequent non-deferrable timer. The main advantage of this is to avoid unnecessary timer interrupts when CPU is idle. If the routine currently called by a timer can wait until next event without any issues, this new timer can be used to setup timer event for that routine. This, with dynticks, allows CPUs to be lazy, allowing them to stay in idle for extended period of time by reducing unnecesary wakeup and thereby reducing the power consumption. This patch: Builds this new timer on top of existing timer infrastructure. It uses last bit in 'base' pointer of timer_list structure to store this deferrable timer flag. __next_timer_interrupt() function skips over these deferrable timers when CPU looks for next timer event for which it has to wake up. This is exported by a new interface init_timer_deferrable() that can be called in place of regular init_timer().

[PATCH] timers fixes/improvements This patch tries to solve following problems: 1. del_timer_sync() is racy. The timer can be fired again after del_timer_sync have checked all cpus and before it will recheck timer_pending(). 2. It has scalability problems. All cpus are scanned to determine if the timer is running on that cpu. With this patch del_timer_sync is O(1) and no slower than plain del_timer(pending_timer), unless it has to actually wait for completion of the currently running timer. The only restriction is that the recurring timer should not use add_timer_on(). 3. The timers are not serialized wrt to itself. If CPU_0 does mod_timer(jiffies+1) while the timer is currently running on CPU 1, it is quite possible that local interrupt on CPU_0 will start that timer before it finished on CPU_1. 4. The timers locking is suboptimal. __mod_timer() takes 3 locks at once and still requires wmb() in del_timer/run_timers. The new implementation takes 2 locks sequentially and does not need memory barriers. Currently ->base != NULL means that the timer is pending. In that case ->base.lock is used to lock the timer. __mod_timer also takes timer->lock because ->base can be == NULL. This patch uses timer->entry.next != NULL as indication that the timer is pending. So it does __list_del(), entry->next = NULL instead of list_del() when the timer is deleted. The ->base field is used for hashed locking only, it is initialized in init_timer() which sets ->base = per_cpu(tvec_bases). When the tvec_bases.lock is locked, it means that all timers which are tied to this base via timer->base are locked, and the base itself is locked too. So __run_timers/migrate_timers can safely modify all timers which could be found on ->tvX lists (pending timers). When the timer's base is locked, and the timer removed from ->entry list (which means that _run_timers/migrate_timers can't see this timer), it is possible to set timer->base = NULL and drop the lock: the timer remains locked. This patch adds lock_timer_base() helper, which waits for ->base != NULL, locks the ->base, and checks it is still the same. __mod_timer() schedules the timer on the local CPU and changes it's base. However, it does not lock both old and new bases at once. It locks the timer via lock_timer_base(), deletes the timer, sets ->base = NULL, and unlocks old base. Then __mod_timer() locks new_base, sets ->base = new_base, and adds this timer. This simplifies the code, because AB-BA deadlock is not possible. __mod_timer() also ensures that the timer's base is not changed while the timer's handler is running on the old base. __run_timers(), del_timer() do not change ->base anymore, they only clear pending flag. So del_timer_sync() can test timer->base->running_timer == timer to detect whether it is running or not. We don't need timer_list->lock anymore, this patch kills it. We also don't need barriers. del_timer() and __run_timers() used smp_wmb() before clearing timer's pending flag. It was needed because __mod_timer() did not lock old_base if the timer is not pending, so __mod_timer()->list_add() could race with del_timer()->list_del(). With this patch these functions are serialized through base->lock. One problem. TIMER_INITIALIZER can't use per_cpu(tvec_bases). So this patch adds global struct timer_base_s { spinlock_t lock; struct timer_list *running_timer; } __init_timer_base; which is used by TIMER_INITIALIZER. The corresponding fields in tvec_t_base_s struct are replaced by struct timer_base_s t_base. It is indeed ugly. But this can't have scalability problems. The global __init_timer_base.lock is used only when __mod_timer() is called for the first time AND the timer was compile time initialized. After that the timer migrates to the local CPU.

This patch adds lock_timer_base() helper, which waits for ->base != NULL, locks the ->base, and checks it is still the same. __mod_timer() schedules the timer on the local CPU and changes it's base. However, it does not lock both old and new bases at once. It locks the timer via lock_timer_base(), deletes the timer, sets ->base = NULL, and unlocks old base. Then __mod_timer() locks new_base, sets ->base = new_base, and adds this timer. This simplifies the code, because AB-BA deadlock is not possible. __mod_timer() also ensures that the timer's base is not changed while the timer's handler is running on the old base. __run_timers(), del_timer() do not change ->base anymore, they only clear pending flag. So del_timer_sync() can test timer->base->running_timer == timer to detect whether it is running or not. We don't need timer_list->lock anymore, this patch kills it. We also don't need barriers. del_timer() and __run_timers() used smp_wmb() before clearing timer's pending flag. It was needed because __mod_timer() did not lock old_base if the timer is not pending, so __mod_timer()->list_add() could race with del_timer()->list_del(). With this patch these functions are serialized through base->lock. One problem. TIMER_INITIALIZER can't use per_cpu(tvec_bases). So this patch adds global struct timer_base_s { spinlock_t lock; struct timer_list *running_timer; } __init_timer_base; which is used by TIMER_INITIALIZER. The corresponding fields in tvec_t_base_s struct are replaced by struct timer_base_s t_base. It is indeed ugly. But this can't have scalability problems. The global __init_timer_base.lock is used only when __mod_timer() is called for the first time AND the timer was compile time initialized. After that the timer migrates to the local CPU.

void init_timer_deferrable(struct timer_list *timer)
Add support for deferrable timers Introduce a new flag for timers - deferrable: Timers that work normally when system is busy. But, will not cause CPU to come out of idle (just to service this timer), when CPU is idle. Instead, this timer will be serviced when CPU eventually wakes up with a subsequent non-deferrable timer. The main advantage of this is to avoid unnecessary timer interrupts when CPU is idle. If the routine currently called by a timer can wait until next event without any issues, this new timer can be used to setup timer event for that routine. This, with dynticks, allows CPUs to be lazy, allowing them to stay in idle for extended period of time by reducing unnecesary wakeup and thereby reducing the power consumption. This patch: Builds this new timer on top of existing timer infrastructure. It uses last bit in 'base' pointer of timer_list structure to store this deferrable timer flag. __next_timer_interrupt() function skips over these deferrable timers when CPU looks for next timer event for which it has to wake up. This is exported by a new interface init_timer_deferrable() that can be called in place of regular init_timer().

[PATCH] timers fixes/improvements This patch tries to solve following problems: 1. del_timer_sync() is racy. The timer can be fired again after del_timer_sync have checked all cpus and before it will recheck timer_pending(). 2. It has scalability problems. All cpus are scanned to determine if the timer is running on that cpu. With this patch del_timer_sync is O(1) and no slower than plain del_timer(pending_timer), unless it has to actually wait for completion of the currently running timer. The only restriction is that the recurring timer should not use add_timer_on(). 3. The timers are not serialized wrt to itself. If CPU_0 does mod_timer(jiffies+1) while the timer is currently running on CPU 1, it is quite possible that local interrupt on CPU_0 will start that timer before it finished on CPU_1. 4. The timers locking is suboptimal. __mod_timer() takes 3 locks at once and still requires wmb() in del_timer/run_timers. The new implementation takes 2 locks sequentially and does not need memory barriers. Currently ->base != NULL means that the timer is pending. In that case ->base.lock is used to lock the timer. __mod_timer also takes timer->lock because ->base can be == NULL. This patch uses timer->entry.next != NULL as indication that the timer is pending. So it does __list_del(), entry->next = NULL instead of list_del() when the timer is deleted. The ->base field is used for hashed locking only, it is initialized in init_timer() which sets ->base = per_cpu(tvec_bases). When the tvec_bases.lock is locked, it means that all timers which are tied to this base via timer->base are locked, and the base itself is locked too. So __run_timers/migrate_timers can safely modify all timers which could be found on ->tvX lists (pending timers). When the timer's base is locked, and the timer removed from ->entry list (which means that _run_timers/migrate_timers can't see this timer), it is possible to set timer->base = NULL and drop the lock: the timer remains locked.

When the timer's base is locked, and the timer removed from ->entry list (which means that _run_timers/migrate_timers can't see this timer), it is possible to set timer->base = NULL and drop the lock: the timer remains locked. This patch adds lock_timer_base() helper, which waits for ->base != NULL, locks the ->base, and checks it is still the same. __mod_timer() schedules the timer on the local CPU and changes it's base. However, it does not lock both old and new bases at once. It locks the timer via lock_timer_base(), deletes the timer, sets ->base = NULL, and unlocks old base. Then __mod_timer() locks new_base, sets ->base = new_base, and adds this timer. This simplifies the code, because AB-BA deadlock is not possible. __mod_timer() also ensures that the timer's base is not changed while the timer's handler is running on the old base. __run_timers(), del_timer() do not change ->base anymore, they only clear pending flag. So del_timer_sync() can test timer->base->running_timer == timer to detect whether it is running or not. We don't need timer_list->lock anymore, this patch kills it. We also don't need barriers. del_timer() and __run_timers() used smp_wmb() before clearing timer's pending flag. It was needed because __mod_timer() did not lock old_base if the timer is not pending, so __mod_timer()->list_add() could race with del_timer()->list_del(). With this patch these functions are serialized through base->lock. One problem. TIMER_INITIALIZER can't use per_cpu(tvec_bases). So this patch adds global struct timer_base_s { spinlock_t lock; struct timer_list *running_timer; } __init_timer_base; which is used by TIMER_INITIALIZER. The corresponding fields in tvec_t_base_s struct are replaced by struct timer_base_s t_base. It is indeed ugly. But this can't have scalability problems. The global __init_timer_base.lock is used only when __mod_timer() is called for the first time AND the timer was compile time initialized. After that the timer migrates to the local CPU.

[PATCH] timers fixes/improvements This patch tries to solve following problems: 1. del_timer_sync() is racy. The timer can be fired again after del_timer_sync have checked all cpus and before it will recheck timer_pending(). 2. It has scalability problems. All cpus are scanned to determine if the timer is running on that cpu. With this patch del_timer_sync is O(1) and no slower than plain del_timer(pending_timer), unless it has to actually wait for completion of the currently running timer. The only restriction is that the recurring timer should not use add_timer_on(). 3. The timers are not serialized wrt to itself. If CPU_0 does mod_timer(jiffies+1) while the timer is currently running on CPU 1, it is quite possible that local interrupt on CPU_0 will start that timer before it finished on CPU_1. 4. The timers locking is suboptimal. __mod_timer() takes 3 locks at once and still requires wmb() in del_timer/run_timers. The new implementation takes 2 locks sequentially and does not need memory barriers. Currently ->base != NULL means that the timer is pending. In that case ->base.lock is used to lock the timer. __mod_timer also takes timer->lock because ->base can be == NULL. This patch uses timer->entry.next != NULL as indication that the timer is pending. So it does __list_del(), entry->next = NULL instead of list_del() when the timer is deleted. The ->base field is used for hashed locking only, it is initialized in init_timer() which sets ->base = per_cpu(tvec_bases). When the tvec_bases.lock is locked, it means that all timers which are tied to this base via timer->base are locked, and the base itself is locked too. So __run_timers/migrate_timers can safely modify all timers which could be found on ->tvX lists (pending timers).

Add support for deferrable timers Introduce a new flag for timers - deferrable: Timers that work normally when system is busy. But, will not cause CPU to come out of idle (just to service this timer), when CPU is idle. Instead, this timer will be serviced when CPU eventually wakes up with a subsequent non-deferrable timer. The main advantage of this is to avoid unnecessary timer interrupts when CPU is idle. If the routine currently called by a timer can wait until next event without any issues, this new timer can be used to setup timer event for that routine. This, with dynticks, allows CPUs to be lazy, allowing them to stay in idle for extended period of time by reducing unnecesary wakeup and thereby reducing the power consumption. This patch: Builds this new timer on top of existing timer infrastructure. It uses last bit in 'base' pointer of timer_list structure to store this deferrable timer flag. __next_timer_interrupt() function skips over these deferrable timers when CPU looks for next timer event for which it has to wake up. This is exported by a new interface init_timer_deferrable() that can be called in place of regular init_timer().

[PATCH] timers fixes/improvements This patch tries to solve following problems: 1. del_timer_sync() is racy. The timer can be fired again after del_timer_sync have checked all cpus and before it will recheck timer_pending(). 2. It has scalability problems. All cpus are scanned to determine if the timer is running on that cpu. With this patch del_timer_sync is O(1) and no slower than plain del_timer(pending_timer), unless it has to actually wait for completion of the currently running timer. The only restriction is that the recurring timer should not use add_timer_on(). 3. The timers are not serialized wrt to itself. If CPU_0 does mod_timer(jiffies+1) while the timer is currently running on CPU 1, it is quite possible that local interrupt on CPU_0 will start that timer before it finished on CPU_1. 4.

The new implementation takes 2 locks sequentially and does not need memory barriers. Currently ->base != NULL means that the timer is pending. In that case ->base.lock is used to lock the timer. __mod_timer also takes timer->lock because ->base can be == NULL.

The ->base field is used for hashed locking only, it is initialized in init_timer() which sets ->base = per_cpu(tvec_bases). When the tvec_bases.lock is locked, it means that all timers which are tied to this base via timer->base are locked, and the base itself is locked too. So __run_timers/migrate_timers can safely modify all timers which could be found on ->tvX lists (pending timers). When the timer's base is locked, and the timer removed from ->entry list (which means that _run_timers/migrate_timers can't see this timer), it is possible to set timer->base = NULL and drop the lock: the timer remains locked. This patch adds lock_timer_base() helper, which waits for ->base != NULL, locks the ->base, and checks it is still the same. __mod_timer() schedules the timer on the local CPU and changes it's base. However, it does not lock both old and new bases at once. It locks the timer via lock_timer_base(), deletes the timer, sets ->base = NULL, and unlocks old base. Then __mod_timer() locks new_base, sets ->base = new_base, and adds this timer. This simplifies the code, because AB-BA deadlock is not possible. __mod_timer() also ensures that the timer's base is not changed while the timer's handler is running on the old base. __run_timers(), del_timer() do not change ->base anymore, they only clear pending flag. So del_timer_sync() can test timer->base->running_timer == timer to detect whether it is running or not. We don't need timer_list->lock anymore, this patch kills it. We also don't need barriers. del_timer() and __run_timers() used smp_wmb() before clearing timer's pending flag.

Add support for deferrable timers Introduce a new flag for timers - deferrable: Timers that work normally when system is busy. But, will not cause CPU to come out of idle (just to service this timer), when CPU is idle. Instead, this timer will be serviced when CPU eventually wakes up with a subsequent non-deferrable timer. The main advantage of this is to avoid unnecessary timer interrupts when CPU is idle. If the routine currently called by a timer can wait until next event without any issues, this new timer can be used to setup timer event for that routine. This, with dynticks, allows CPUs to be lazy, allowing them to stay in idle for extended period of time by reducing unnecesary wakeup and thereby reducing the power consumption. This patch: Builds this new timer on top of existing timer infrastructure. It uses last bit in 'base' pointer of timer_list structure to store this deferrable timer flag. __next_timer_interrupt() function skips over these deferrable timers when CPU looks for next timer event for which it has to wake up. This is exported by a new interface init_timer_deferrable() that can be called in place of regular init_timer().

With this patch del_timer_sync is O(1) and no slower than plain del_timer(pending_timer), unless it has to actually wait for completion of the currently running timer. The only restriction is that the recurring timer should not use add_timer_on(). 3. The timers are not serialized wrt to itself. If CPU_0 does mod_timer(jiffies+1) while the timer is currently running on CPU 1, it is quite possible that local interrupt on CPU_0 will start that timer before it finished on CPU_1. 4. The timers locking is suboptimal. __mod_timer() takes 3 locks at once and still requires wmb() in del_timer/run_timers.

In that case ->base.lock is used to lock the timer. __mod_timer also takes timer->lock because ->base can be == NULL.

So del_timer_sync() can test timer->base->running_timer == timer to detect whether it is running or not. We don't need timer_list->lock anymore, this patch kills it. We also don't need barriers. del_timer() and __run_timers() used smp_wmb() before clearing timer's pending flag. It was needed because __mod_timer() did not lock old_base if the timer is not pending, so __mod_timer()->list_add() could race with del_timer()->list_del(). With this patch these functions are serialized through base->lock. One problem. TIMER_INITIALIZER can't use per_cpu(tvec_bases).

[PATCH] timers fixes/improvements This patch tries to solve following problems: 1. del_timer_sync() is racy. The timer can be fired again after del_timer_sync have checked all cpus and before it will recheck timer_pending(). 2. It has scalability problems. All cpus are scanned to determine if the timer is running on that cpu. With this patch del_timer_sync is O(1) and no slower than plain del_timer(pending_timer), unless it has to actually wait for completion of the currently running timer. The only restriction is that the recurring timer should not use add_timer_on(). 3. The timers are not serialized wrt to itself. If CPU_0 does mod_timer(jiffies+1) while the timer is currently running on CPU 1, it is quite possible that local interrupt on CPU_0 will start that timer before it finished on CPU_1. 4. The timers locking is suboptimal. __mod_timer() takes 3 locks at once and still requires wmb() in del_timer/run_timers. The new implementation takes 2 locks sequentially and does not need memory barriers. Currently ->base != NULL means that the timer is pending. In that case ->base.lock is used to lock the timer. __mod_timer also takes timer->lock because ->base can be == NULL. This patch uses timer->entry.next != NULL as indication that the timer is pending. So it does __list_del(), entry->next = NULL instead of list_del() when the timer is deleted. The ->base field is used for hashed locking only, it is initialized in init_timer() which sets ->base = per_cpu(tvec_bases). When the tvec_bases.lock is locked, it means that all timers which are tied to this base via timer->base are locked, and the base itself is locked too. So __run_timers/migrate_timers can safely modify all timers which could be found on ->tvX lists (pending timers). When the timer's base is locked, and the timer removed from ->entry list (which means that _run_timers/migrate_timers can't see this timer), it is possible to set timer->base = NULL and drop the lock: the timer remains locked. This patch adds lock_timer_base() helper, which waits for ->base != NULL, locks the ->base, and checks it is still the same. __mod_timer() schedules the timer on the local CPU and changes it's base. However, it does not lock both old and new bases at once. It locks the timer via lock_timer_base(), deletes the timer, sets ->base = NULL, and unlocks old base. Then __mod_timer() locks new_base, sets ->base = new_base, and adds this timer. This simplifies the code, because AB-BA deadlock is not possible. __mod_timer() also ensures that the timer's base is not changed while the timer's handler is running on the old base. __run_timers(), del_timer() do not change ->base anymore, they only clear pending flag. So del_timer_sync() can test timer->base->running_timer == timer to detect whether it is running or not. We don't need timer_list->lock anymore, this patch kills it. We also don't need barriers. del_timer() and __run_timers() used smp_wmb() before clearing timer's pending flag. It was needed because __mod_timer() did not lock old_base if the timer is not pending, so __mod_timer()->list_add() could race with del_timer()->list_del(). With this patch these functions are serialized through base->lock. One problem. TIMER_INITIALIZER can't use per_cpu(tvec_bases). So this patch adds global struct timer_base_s { spinlock_t lock; struct timer_list *running_timer; } __init_timer_base; which is used by TIMER_INITIALIZER. The corresponding fields in tvec_t_base_s struct are replaced by struct timer_base_s t_base. It is indeed ugly. But this can't have scalability problems. The global __init_timer_base.lock is used only when __mod_timer() is called for the first time AND the timer was compile time initialized. After that the timer migrates to the local CPU.

Add support for deferrable timers Introduce a new flag for timers - deferrable: Timers that work normally when system is busy. But, will not cause CPU to come out of idle (just to service this timer), when CPU is idle. Instead, this timer will be serviced when CPU eventually wakes up with a subsequent non-deferrable timer. The main advantage of this is to avoid unnecessary timer interrupts when CPU is idle. If the routine currently called by a timer can wait until next event without any issues, this new timer can be used to setup timer event for that routine. This, with dynticks, allows CPUs to be lazy, allowing them to stay in idle for extended period of time by reducing unnecesary wakeup and thereby reducing the power consumption. This patch: Builds this new timer on top of existing timer infrastructure. It uses last bit in 'base' pointer of timer_list structure to store this deferrable timer flag. __next_timer_interrupt() function skips over these deferrable timers when CPU looks for next timer event for which it has to wake up. This is exported by a new interface init_timer_deferrable() that can be called in place of regular init_timer().

[PATCH] timers fixes/improvements This patch tries to solve following problems: 1. del_timer_sync() is racy. The timer can be fired again after del_timer_sync have checked all cpus and before it will recheck timer_pending(). 2. It has scalability problems. All cpus are scanned to determine if the timer is running on that cpu. With this patch del_timer_sync is O(1) and no slower than plain del_timer(pending_timer), unless it has to actually wait for completion of the currently running timer. The only restriction is that the recurring timer should not use add_timer_on(). 3. The timers are not serialized wrt to itself. If CPU_0 does mod_timer(jiffies+1) while the timer is currently running on CPU 1, it is quite possible that local interrupt on CPU_0 will start that timer before it finished on CPU_1. 4. The timers locking is suboptimal. __mod_timer() takes 3 locks at once and still requires wmb() in del_timer/run_timers. The new implementation takes 2 locks sequentially and does not need memory barriers. Currently ->base != NULL means that the timer is pending. In that case ->base.lock is used to lock the timer. __mod_timer also takes timer->lock because ->base can be == NULL. This patch uses timer->entry.next != NULL as indication that the timer is pending. So it does __list_del(), entry->next = NULL instead of list_del() when the timer is deleted. The ->base field is used for hashed locking only, it is initialized in init_timer() which sets ->base = per_cpu(tvec_bases). When the tvec_bases.lock is locked, it means that all timers which are tied to this base via timer->base are locked, and the base itself is locked too. So __run_timers/migrate_timers can safely modify all timers which could be found on ->tvX lists (pending timers). When the timer's base is locked, and the timer removed from ->entry list (which means that _run_timers/migrate_timers can't see this timer), it is possible to set timer->base = NULL and drop the lock: the timer remains locked. This patch adds lock_timer_base() helper, which waits for ->base != NULL, locks the ->base, and checks it is still the same. __mod_timer() schedules the timer on the local CPU and changes it's base. However, it does not lock both old and new bases at once. It locks the timer via lock_timer_base(), deletes the timer, sets ->base = NULL, and unlocks old base. Then __mod_timer() locks new_base, sets ->base = new_base, and adds this timer. This simplifies the code, because AB-BA deadlock is not possible. __mod_timer() also ensures that the timer's base is not changed while the timer's handler is running on the old base. __run_timers(), del_timer() do not change ->base anymore, they only clear pending flag. So del_timer_sync() can test timer->base->running_timer == timer to detect whether it is running or not. We don't need timer_list->lock anymore, this patch kills it. We also don't need barriers. del_timer() and __run_timers() used smp_wmb() before clearing timer's pending flag. It was needed because __mod_timer() did not lock old_base if the timer is not pending, so __mod_timer()->list_add() could race with del_timer()->list_del(). With this patch these functions are serialized through base->lock. One problem. TIMER_INITIALIZER can't use per_cpu(tvec_bases). So this patch adds global struct timer_base_s { spinlock_t lock; struct timer_list *running_timer; } __init_timer_base; which is used by TIMER_INITIALIZER. The corresponding fields in tvec_t_base_s struct are replaced by struct timer_base_s t_base. It is indeed ugly. But this can't have scalability problems. The global __init_timer_base.lock is used only when __mod_timer() is called for the first time AND the timer was compile time initialized. After that the timer migrates to the local CPU.

[PATCH] timers fixes/improvements This patch tries to solve following problems: 1. del_timer_sync() is racy. The timer can be fired again after del_timer_sync have checked all cpus and before it will recheck timer_pending(). 2. It has scalability problems. All cpus are scanned to determine if the timer is running on that cpu. With this patch del_timer_sync is O(1) and no slower than plain del_timer(pending_timer), unless it has to actually wait for completion of the currently running timer. The only restriction is that the recurring timer should not use add_timer_on(). 3. The timers are not serialized wrt to itself. If CPU_0 does mod_timer(jiffies+1) while the timer is currently running on CPU 1, it is quite possible that local interrupt on CPU_0 will start that timer before it finished on CPU_1. 4. The timers locking is suboptimal. __mod_timer() takes 3 locks at once and still requires wmb() in del_timer/run_timers. The new implementation takes 2 locks sequentially and does not need memory barriers. Currently ->base != NULL means that the timer is pending. In that case ->base.lock is used to lock the timer. __mod_timer also takes timer->lock because ->base can be == NULL. This patch uses timer->entry.next != NULL as indication that the timer is pending. So it does __list_del(), entry->next = NULL instead of list_del() when the timer is deleted. The ->base field is used for hashed locking only, it is initialized in init_timer() which sets ->base = per_cpu(tvec_bases). When the tvec_bases.lock is locked, it means that all timers which are tied to this base via timer->base are locked, and the base itself is locked too. So __run_timers/migrate_timers can safely modify all timers which could be found on ->tvX lists (pending timers). When the timer's base is locked, and the timer removed from ->entry list (which means that _run_timers/migrate_timers can't see this timer), it is possible to set timer->base = NULL and drop the lock: the timer remains locked. This patch adds lock_timer_base() helper, which waits for ->base != NULL, locks the ->base, and checks it is still the same. __mod_timer() schedules the timer on the local CPU and changes it's base. However, it does not lock both old and new bases at once. It locks the timer via lock_timer_base(), deletes the timer, sets ->base = NULL, and unlocks old base. Then __mod_timer() locks new_base, sets ->base = new_base, and adds this timer. This simplifies the code, because AB-BA deadlock is not possible. __mod_timer() also ensures that the timer's base is not changed while the timer's handler is running on the old base. __run_timers(), del_timer() do not change ->base anymore, they only clear pending flag. So del_timer_sync() can test timer->base->running_timer == timer to detect whether it is running or not. We don't need timer_list->lock anymore, this patch kills it. We also don't need barriers. del_timer() and __run_timers() used smp_wmb() before clearing timer's pending flag. It was needed because __mod_timer() did not lock old_base if the timer is not pending, so __mod_timer()->list_add() could race with del_timer()->list_del(). With this patch these functions are serialized through base->lock. One problem. TIMER_INITIALIZER can't use per_cpu(tvec_bases). So this patch adds global struct timer_base_s { spinlock_t lock; struct timer_list *running_timer; } __init_timer_base; which is used by TIMER_INITIALIZER. The corresponding fields in tvec_t_base_s struct are replaced by struct timer_base_s t_base. It is indeed ugly. But this can't have scalability problems. The global __init_timer_base.lock is used only when __mod_timer() is called for the first time AND the timer was compile time initialized. After that the timer migrates to the local CPU.

Add support for deferrable timers Introduce a new flag for timers - deferrable: Timers that work normally when system is busy. But, will not cause CPU to come out of idle (just to service this timer), when CPU is idle. Instead, this timer will be serviced when CPU eventually wakes up with a subsequent non-deferrable timer. The main advantage of this is to avoid unnecessary timer interrupts when CPU is idle. If the routine currently called by a timer can wait until next event without any issues, this new timer can be used to setup timer event for that routine. This, with dynticks, allows CPUs to be lazy, allowing them to stay in idle for extended period of time by reducing unnecesary wakeup and thereby reducing the power consumption. This patch: Builds this new timer on top of existing timer infrastructure. It uses last bit in 'base' pointer of timer_list structure to store this deferrable timer flag. __next_timer_interrupt() function skips over these deferrable timers when CPU looks for next timer event for which it has to wake up. This is exported by a new interface init_timer_deferrable() that can be called in place of regular init_timer().

With this patch del_timer_sync is O(1) and no slower than plain del_timer(pending_timer), unless it has to actually wait for completion of the currently running timer. The only restriction is that the recurring timer should not use add_timer_on(). 3. The timers are not serialized wrt to itself. If CPU_0 does mod_timer(jiffies+1) while the timer is currently running on CPU 1, it is quite possible that local interrupt on CPU_0 will start that timer before it finished on CPU_1. 4. The timers locking is suboptimal. __mod_timer() takes 3 locks at once and still requires wmb() in del_timer/run_timers. The new implementation takes 2 locks sequentially and does not need memory barriers. Currently ->base != NULL means that the timer is pending. In that case ->base.lock is used to lock the timer. __mod_timer also takes timer->lock because ->base can be == NULL. This patch uses timer->entry.next != NULL as indication that the timer is pending. So it does __list_del(), entry->next = NULL instead of list_del() when the timer is deleted. The ->base field is used for hashed locking only, it is initialized in init_timer() which sets ->base = per_cpu(tvec_bases). When the tvec_bases.lock is locked, it means that all timers which are tied to this base via timer->base are locked, and the base itself is locked too. So __run_timers/migrate_timers can safely modify all timers which could be found on ->tvX lists (pending timers). When the timer's base is locked, and the timer removed from ->entry list (which means that _run_timers/migrate_timers can't see this timer), it is possible to set timer->base = NULL and drop the lock: the timer remains locked. This patch adds lock_timer_base() helper, which waits for ->base != NULL, locks the ->base, and checks it is still the same. __mod_timer() schedules the timer on the local CPU and changes it's base. However, it does not lock both old and new bases at once. It locks the timer via lock_timer_base(), deletes the timer, sets ->base = NULL, and unlocks old base. Then __mod_timer() locks new_base, sets ->base = new_base, and adds this timer. This simplifies the code, because AB-BA deadlock is not possible. __mod_timer() also ensures that the timer's base is not changed while the timer's handler is running on the old base. __run_timers(), del_timer() do not change ->base anymore, they only clear pending flag. So del_timer_sync() can test timer->base->running_timer == timer to detect whether it is running or not. We don't need timer_list->lock anymore, this patch kills it. We also don't need barriers. del_timer() and __run_timers() used smp_wmb() before clearing timer's pending flag. It was needed because __mod_timer() did not lock old_base if the timer is not pending, so __mod_timer()->list_add() could race with del_timer()->list_del(). With this patch these functions are serialized through base->lock. One problem. TIMER_INITIALIZER can't use per_cpu(tvec_bases). So this patch adds global struct timer_base_s { spinlock_t lock; struct timer_list *running_timer; } __init_timer_base; which is used by TIMER_INITIALIZER. The corresponding fields in tvec_t_base_s struct are replaced by struct timer_base_s t_base. It is indeed ugly. But this can't have scalability problems. The global __init_timer_base.lock is used only when __mod_timer() is called for the first time AND the timer was compile time initialized. After that the timer migrates to the local CPU.

Add support for deferrable timers Introduce a new flag for timers - deferrable: Timers that work normally when system is busy. But, will not cause CPU to come out of idle (just to service this timer), when CPU is idle. Instead, this timer will be serviced when CPU eventually wakes up with a subsequent non-deferrable timer. The main advantage of this is to avoid unnecessary timer interrupts when CPU is idle. If the routine currently called by a timer can wait until next event without any issues, this new timer can be used to setup timer event for that routine. This, with dynticks, allows CPUs to be lazy, allowing them to stay in idle for extended period of time by reducing unnecesary wakeup and thereby reducing the power consumption. This patch: Builds this new timer on top of existing timer infrastructure. It uses last bit in 'base' pointer of timer_list structure to store this deferrable timer flag. __next_timer_interrupt() function skips over these deferrable timers when CPU looks for next timer event for which it has to wake up. This is exported by a new interface init_timer_deferrable() that can be called in place of regular init_timer().

[PATCH] timers fixes/improvements This patch tries to solve following problems: 1. del_timer_sync() is racy. The timer can be fired again after del_timer_sync have checked all cpus and before it will recheck timer_pending(). 2. It has scalability problems. All cpus are scanned to determine if the timer is running on that cpu. With this patch del_timer_sync is O(1) and no slower than plain del_timer(pending_timer), unless it has to actually wait for completion of the currently running timer.
