Introduction
============
* Once all services are migrated, kernel calls an arch specific routine
``__cpu_disable()`` to perform arch specific cleanup.
-Using the hotplug API
----------------------
-
-It is possible to receive notifications once a CPU is offline or onlined. This
-might be important to certain drivers which need to perform some kind of setup
-or clean up functions based on the number of available CPUs::
-
- #include <linux/cpuhotplug.h>
-
- ret = cpuhp_setup_state(CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_DYN, "X/Y:online",
- Y_online, Y_prepare_down);
-
-*X* is the subsystem and *Y* the particular driver. The *Y_online* callback
-will be invoked during registration on all online CPUs. If an error
-occurs during the online callback the *Y_prepare_down* callback will be
-invoked on all CPUs on which the online callback was previously invoked.
-After registration completed, the *Y_online* callback will be invoked
-once a CPU is brought online and *Y_prepare_down* will be invoked when a
-CPU is shutdown. All resources which were previously allocated in
-*Y_online* should be released in *Y_prepare_down*.
-The return value *ret* is negative if an error occurred during the
-registration process. Otherwise a positive value is returned which
-contains the allocated hotplug for dynamically allocated states
-(*CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_DYN*). It will return zero for predefined states.
-
-The callback can be remove by invoking ``cpuhp_remove_state()``. In case of a
-dynamically allocated state (*CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_DYN*) use the returned state.
-During the removal of a hotplug state the teardown callback will be invoked.
-
-Multiple instances
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-If a driver has multiple instances and each instance needs to perform the
-callback independently then it is likely that a ''multi-state'' should be used.
-First a multi-state state needs to be registered::
-
- ret = cpuhp_setup_state_multi(CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_DYN, "X/Y:online,
- Y_online, Y_prepare_down);
- Y_hp_online = ret;
-
-The ``cpuhp_setup_state_multi()`` behaves similar to ``cpuhp_setup_state()``
-except it prepares the callbacks for a multi state and does not invoke
-the callbacks. This is a one time setup.
-Once a new instance is allocated, you need to register this new instance::
-
- ret = cpuhp_state_add_instance(Y_hp_online, &d->node);
-
-This function will add this instance to your previously allocated
-*Y_hp_online* state and invoke the previously registered callback
-(*Y_online*) on all online CPUs. The *node* element is a ``struct
-hlist_node`` member of your per-instance data structure.
-
-On removal of the instance::
-
- cpuhp_state_remove_instance(Y_hp_online, &d->node)
-
-should be invoked which will invoke the teardown callback on all online
-CPUs.
-
-Manual setup
-~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Usually it is handy to invoke setup and teardown callbacks on registration or
-removal of a state because usually the operation needs to performed once a CPU
-goes online (offline) and during initial setup (shutdown) of the driver. However
-each registration and removal function is also available with a ``_nocalls``
-suffix which does not invoke the provided callbacks if the invocation of the
-callbacks is not desired. During the manual setup (or teardown) the functions
-``cpus_read_lock()`` and ``cpus_read_unlock()`` should be used to inhibit CPU
-hotplug operations.
-
-
-The ordering of the events
---------------------------
-
-The hotplug states are defined in ``include/linux/cpuhotplug.h``:
-
-* The states *CPUHP_OFFLINE* … *CPUHP_AP_OFFLINE* are invoked before the
- CPU is up.
-* The states *CPUHP_AP_OFFLINE* … *CPUHP_AP_ONLINE* are invoked
- just the after the CPU has been brought up. The interrupts are off and
- the scheduler is not yet active on this CPU. Starting with *CPUHP_AP_OFFLINE*
- the callbacks are invoked on the target CPU.
-* The states between *CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_DYN* and *CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_DYN_END* are
- reserved for the dynamic allocation.
-* The states are invoked in the reverse order on CPU shutdown starting with
- *CPUHP_ONLINE* and stopping at *CPUHP_OFFLINE*. Here the callbacks are
- invoked on the CPU that will be shutdown until *CPUHP_AP_OFFLINE*.
-
-A dynamically allocated state via *CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_DYN* is often enough.
-However if an earlier invocation during the bring up or shutdown is required
-then an explicit state should be acquired. An explicit state might also be
-required if the hotplug event requires specific ordering in respect to
-another hotplug event.
+
+The CPU hotplug API
+===================
+
+CPU hotplug state machine
+-------------------------
+
+CPU hotplug uses a trivial state machine with a linear state space from
+CPUHP_OFFLINE to CPUHP_ONLINE. Each state has a startup and a teardown
+callback.
+
+When a CPU is onlined, the startup callbacks are invoked sequentially until
+the state CPUHP_ONLINE is reached. They can also be invoked when the
+callbacks of a state are set up or an instance is added to a multi-instance
+state.
+
+When a CPU is offlined the teardown callbacks are invoked in the reverse
+order sequentially until the state CPUHP_OFFLINE is reached. They can also
+be invoked when the callbacks of a state are removed or an instance is
+removed from a multi-instance state.
+
+If a usage site requires only a callback in one direction of the hotplug
+operations (CPU online or CPU offline) then the other not-required callback
+can be set to NULL when the state is set up.
+
+The state space is divided into three sections:
+
+* The PREPARE section
+
+ The PREPARE section covers the state space from CPUHP_OFFLINE to
+ CPUHP_BRINGUP_CPU.
+
+ The startup callbacks in this section are invoked before the CPU is
+ started during a CPU online operation. The teardown callbacks are invoked
+ after the CPU has become dysfunctional during a CPU offline operation.
+
+ The callbacks are invoked on a control CPU as they can't obviously run on
+ the hotplugged CPU which is either not yet started or has become
+ dysfunctional already.
+
+ The startup callbacks are used to setup resources which are required to
+ bring a CPU successfully online. The teardown callbacks are used to free
+ resources or to move pending work to an online CPU after the hotplugged
+ CPU became dysfunctional.
+
+ The startup callbacks are allowed to fail. If a callback fails, the CPU
+ online operation is aborted and the CPU is brought down to the previous
+ state (usually CPUHP_OFFLINE) again.
+
+ The teardown callbacks in this section are not allowed to fail.
+
+* The STARTING section
+
+ The STARTING section covers the state space between CPUHP_BRINGUP_CPU + 1
+ and CPUHP_AP_ONLINE.
+
+ The startup callbacks in this section are invoked on the hotplugged CPU
+ with interrupts disabled during a CPU online operation in the early CPU
+ setup code. The teardown callbacks are invoked with interrupts disabled
+ on the hotplugged CPU during a CPU offline operation shortly before the
+ CPU is completely shut down.
+
+ The callbacks in this section are not allowed to fail.
+
+ The callbacks are used for low level hardware initialization/shutdown and
+ for core subsystems.
+
+* The ONLINE section
+
+ The ONLINE section covers the state space between CPUHP_AP_ONLINE + 1 and
+ CPUHP_ONLINE.
+
+ The startup callbacks in this section are invoked on the hotplugged CPU
+ during a CPU online operation. The teardown callbacks are invoked on the
+ hotplugged CPU during a CPU offline operation.
+
+ The callbacks are invoked in the context of the per CPU hotplug thread,
+ which is pinned on the hotplugged CPU. The callbacks are invoked with
+ interrupts and preemption enabled.
+
+ The callbacks are allowed to fail. When a callback fails the hotplug
+ operation is aborted and the CPU is brought back to the previous state.
+
+CPU online/offline operations
+-----------------------------
+
+A successful online operation looks like this::
+
+ [CPUHP_OFFLINE]
+ [CPUHP_OFFLINE + 1]->startup() -> success
+ [CPUHP_OFFLINE + 2]->startup() -> success
+ [CPUHP_OFFLINE + 3] -> skipped because startup == NULL
+ ...
+ [CPUHP_BRINGUP_CPU]->startup() -> success
+ === End of PREPARE section
+ [CPUHP_BRINGUP_CPU + 1]->startup() -> success
+ ...
+ [CPUHP_AP_ONLINE]->startup() -> success
+ === End of STARTUP section
+ [CPUHP_AP_ONLINE + 1]->startup() -> success
+ ...
+ [CPUHP_ONLINE - 1]->startup() -> success
+ [CPUHP_ONLINE]
+
+A successful offline operation looks like this::
+
+ [CPUHP_ONLINE]
+ [CPUHP_ONLINE - 1]->teardown() -> success
+ ...
+ [CPUHP_AP_ONLINE + 1]->teardown() -> success
+ === Start of STARTUP section
+ [CPUHP_AP_ONLINE]->teardown() -> success
+ ...
+ [CPUHP_BRINGUP_ONLINE - 1]->teardown()
+ ...
+ === Start of PREPARE section
+ [CPUHP_BRINGUP_CPU]->teardown()
+ [CPUHP_OFFLINE + 3]->teardown()
+ [CPUHP_OFFLINE + 2] -> skipped because teardown == NULL
+ [CPUHP_OFFLINE + 1]->teardown()
+ [CPUHP_OFFLINE]
+
+A failed online operation looks like this::
+
+ [CPUHP_OFFLINE]
+ [CPUHP_OFFLINE + 1]->startup() -> success
+ [CPUHP_OFFLINE + 2]->startup() -> success
+ [CPUHP_OFFLINE + 3] -> skipped because startup == NULL
+ ...
+ [CPUHP_BRINGUP_CPU]->startup() -> success
+ === End of PREPARE section
+ [CPUHP_BRINGUP_CPU + 1]->startup() -> success
+ ...
+ [CPUHP_AP_ONLINE]->startup() -> success
+ === End of STARTUP section
+ [CPUHP_AP_ONLINE + 1]->startup() -> success
+ ---
+ [CPUHP_AP_ONLINE + N]->startup() -> fail
+ [CPUHP_AP_ONLINE + (N - 1)]->teardown()
+ ...
+ [CPUHP_AP_ONLINE + 1]->teardown()
+ === Start of STARTUP section
+ [CPUHP_AP_ONLINE]->teardown()
+ ...
+ [CPUHP_BRINGUP_ONLINE - 1]->teardown()
+ ...
+ === Start of PREPARE section
+ [CPUHP_BRINGUP_CPU]->teardown()
+ [CPUHP_OFFLINE + 3]->teardown()
+ [CPUHP_OFFLINE + 2] -> skipped because teardown == NULL
+ [CPUHP_OFFLINE + 1]->teardown()
+ [CPUHP_OFFLINE]
+
+A failed offline operation looks like this::
+
+ [CPUHP_ONLINE]
+ [CPUHP_ONLINE - 1]->teardown() -> success
+ ...
+ [CPUHP_ONLINE - N]->teardown() -> fail
+ [CPUHP_ONLINE - (N - 1)]->startup()
+ ...
+ [CPUHP_ONLINE - 1]->startup()
+ [CPUHP_ONLINE]
+
+Recursive failures cannot be handled sensibly. Look at the following
+example of a recursive fail due to a failed offline operation: ::
+
+ [CPUHP_ONLINE]
+ [CPUHP_ONLINE - 1]->teardown() -> success
+ ...
+ [CPUHP_ONLINE - N]->teardown() -> fail
+ [CPUHP_ONLINE - (N - 1)]->startup() -> success
+ [CPUHP_ONLINE - (N - 2)]->startup() -> fail
+
+The CPU hotplug state machine stops right here and does not try to go back
+down again because that would likely result in an endless loop::
+
+ [CPUHP_ONLINE - (N - 1)]->teardown() -> success
+ [CPUHP_ONLINE - N]->teardown() -> fail
+ [CPUHP_ONLINE - (N - 1)]->startup() -> success
+ [CPUHP_ONLINE - (N - 2)]->startup() -> fail
+ [CPUHP_ONLINE - (N - 1)]->teardown() -> success
+ [CPUHP_ONLINE - N]->teardown() -> fail
+
+Lather, rinse and repeat. In this case the CPU left in state::
+
+ [CPUHP_ONLINE - (N - 1)]
+
+which at least lets the system make progress and gives the user a chance to
+debug or even resolve the situation.
+
+Allocating a state
+------------------
+
+There are two ways to allocate a CPU hotplug state:
+
+* Static allocation
+
+ Static allocation has to be used when the subsystem or driver has
+ ordering requirements versus other CPU hotplug states. E.g. the PERF core
+ startup callback has to be invoked before the PERF driver startup
+ callbacks during a CPU online operation. During a CPU offline operation
+ the driver teardown callbacks have to be invoked before the core teardown
+ callback. The statically allocated states are described by constants in
+ the cpuhp_state enum which can be found in include/linux/cpuhotplug.h.
+
+ Insert the state into the enum at the proper place so the ordering
+ requirements are fulfilled. The state constant has to be used for state
+ setup and removal.
+
+ Static allocation is also required when the state callbacks are not set
+ up at runtime and are part of the initializer of the CPU hotplug state
+ array in kernel/cpu.c.
+
+* Dynamic allocation
+
+ When there are no ordering requirements for the state callbacks then
+ dynamic allocation is the preferred method. The state number is allocated
+ by the setup function and returned to the caller on success.
+
+ Only the PREPARE and ONLINE sections provide a dynamic allocation
+ range. The STARTING section does not as most of the callbacks in that
+ section have explicit ordering requirements.
+
+Setup of a CPU hotplug state
+----------------------------
+
+The core code provides the following functions to setup a state:
+
+* cpuhp_setup_state(state, name, startup, teardown)
+* cpuhp_setup_state_nocalls(state, name, startup, teardown)
+* cpuhp_setup_state_cpuslocked(state, name, startup, teardown)
+* cpuhp_setup_state_nocalls_cpuslocked(state, name, startup, teardown)
+
+For cases where a driver or a subsystem has multiple instances and the same
+CPU hotplug state callbacks need to be invoked for each instance, the CPU
+hotplug core provides multi-instance support. The advantage over driver
+specific instance lists is that the instance related functions are fully
+serialized against CPU hotplug operations and provide the automatic
+invocations of the state callbacks on add and removal. To set up such a
+multi-instance state the following function is available:
+
+* cpuhp_setup_state_multi(state, name, startup, teardown)
+
+The @state argument is either a statically allocated state or one of the
+constants for dynamically allocated states - CPUHP_PREPARE_DYN,
+CPUHP_ONLINE_DYN - depending on the state section (PREPARE, ONLINE) for
+which a dynamic state should be allocated.
+
+The @name argument is used for sysfs output and for instrumentation. The
+naming convention is "subsys:mode" or "subsys/driver:mode",
+e.g. "perf:mode" or "perf/x86:mode". The common mode names are:
+
+======== =======================================================
+prepare For states in the PREPARE section
+
+dead For states in the PREPARE section which do not provide
+ a startup callback
+
+starting For states in the STARTING section
+
+dying For states in the STARTING section which do not provide
+ a startup callback
+
+online For states in the ONLINE section
+
+offline For states in the ONLINE section which do not provide
+ a startup callback
+======== =======================================================
+
+As the @name argument is only used for sysfs and instrumentation other mode
+descriptors can be used as well if they describe the nature of the state
+better than the common ones.
+
+Examples for @name arguments: "perf/online", "perf/x86:prepare",
+"RCU/tree:dying", "sched/waitempty"
+
+The @startup argument is a function pointer to the callback which should be
+invoked during a CPU online operation. If the usage site does not require a
+startup callback set the pointer to NULL.
+
+The @teardown argument is a function pointer to the callback which should
+be invoked during a CPU offline operation. If the usage site does not
+require a teardown callback set the pointer to NULL.
+
+The functions differ in the way how the installed callbacks are treated:
+
+ * cpuhp_setup_state_nocalls(), cpuhp_setup_state_nocalls_cpuslocked()
+ and cpuhp_setup_state_multi() only install the callbacks
+
+ * cpuhp_setup_state() and cpuhp_setup_state_cpuslocked() install the
+ callbacks and invoke the @startup callback (if not NULL) for all online
+ CPUs which have currently a state greater than the newly installed
+ state. Depending on the state section the callback is either invoked on
+ the current CPU (PREPARE section) or on each online CPU (ONLINE
+ section) in the context of the CPU's hotplug thread.
+
+ If a callback fails for CPU N then the teardown callback for CPU
+ 0 .. N-1 is invoked to rollback the operation. The state setup fails,
+ the callbacks for the state are not installed and in case of dynamic
+ allocation the allocated state is freed.
+
+The state setup and the callback invocations are serialized against CPU
+hotplug operations. If the setup function has to be called from a CPU
+hotplug read locked region, then the _cpuslocked() variants have to be
+used. These functions cannot be used from within CPU hotplug callbacks.
+
+The function return values:
+ ======== ===================================================================
+ 0 Statically allocated state was successfully set up
+
+ >0 Dynamically allocated state was successfully set up.
+
+ The returned number is the state number which was allocated. If
+ the state callbacks have to be removed later, e.g. module
+ removal, then this number has to be saved by the caller and used
+ as @state argument for the state remove function. For
+ multi-instance states the dynamically allocated state number is
+ also required as @state argument for the instance add/remove
+ operations.
+
+ <0 Operation failed
+ ======== ===================================================================
+
+Removal of a CPU hotplug state
+------------------------------
+
+To remove a previously set up state, the following functions are provided:
+
+* cpuhp_remove_state(state)
+* cpuhp_remove_state_nocalls(state)
+* cpuhp_remove_state_nocalls_cpuslocked(state)
+* cpuhp_remove_multi_state(state)
+
+The @state argument is either a statically allocated state or the state
+number which was allocated in the dynamic range by cpuhp_setup_state*(). If
+the state is in the dynamic range, then the state number is freed and
+available for dynamic allocation again.
+
+The functions differ in the way how the installed callbacks are treated:
+
+ * cpuhp_remove_state_nocalls(), cpuhp_remove_state_nocalls_cpuslocked()
+ and cpuhp_remove_multi_state() only remove the callbacks.
+
+ * cpuhp_remove_state() removes the callbacks and invokes the teardown
+ callback (if not NULL) for all online CPUs which have currently a state
+ greater than the removed state. Depending on the state section the
+ callback is either invoked on the current CPU (PREPARE section) or on
+ each online CPU (ONLINE section) in the context of the CPU's hotplug
+ thread.
+
+ In order to complete the removal, the teardown callback should not fail.
+
+The state removal and the callback invocations are serialized against CPU
+hotplug operations. If the remove function has to be called from a CPU
+hotplug read locked region, then the _cpuslocked() variants have to be
+used. These functions cannot be used from within CPU hotplug callbacks.
+
+If a multi-instance state is removed then the caller has to remove all
+instances first.
+
+Multi-Instance state instance management
+----------------------------------------
+
+Once the multi-instance state is set up, instances can be added to the
+state:
+
+ * cpuhp_state_add_instance(state, node)
+ * cpuhp_state_add_instance_nocalls(state, node)
+
+The @state argument is either a statically allocated state or the state
+number which was allocated in the dynamic range by cpuhp_setup_state_multi().
+
+The @node argument is a pointer to an hlist_node which is embedded in the
+instance's data structure. The pointer is handed to the multi-instance
+state callbacks and can be used by the callback to retrieve the instance
+via container_of().
+
+The functions differ in the way how the installed callbacks are treated:
+
+ * cpuhp_state_add_instance_nocalls() and only adds the instance to the
+ multi-instance state's node list.
+
+ * cpuhp_state_add_instance() adds the instance and invokes the startup
+ callback (if not NULL) associated with @state for all online CPUs which
+ have currently a state greater than @state. The callback is only
+ invoked for the to be added instance. Depending on the state section
+ the callback is either invoked on the current CPU (PREPARE section) or
+ on each online CPU (ONLINE section) in the context of the CPU's hotplug
+ thread.
+
+ If a callback fails for CPU N then the teardown callback for CPU
+ 0 .. N-1 is invoked to rollback the operation, the function fails and
+ the instance is not added to the node list of the multi-instance state.
+
+To remove an instance from the state's node list these functions are
+available:
+
+ * cpuhp_state_remove_instance(state, node)
+ * cpuhp_state_remove_instance_nocalls(state, node)
+
+The arguments are the same as for the the cpuhp_state_add_instance*()
+variants above.
+
+The functions differ in the way how the installed callbacks are treated:
+
+ * cpuhp_state_remove_instance_nocalls() only removes the instance from the
+ state's node list.
+
+ * cpuhp_state_remove_instance() removes the instance and invokes the
+ teardown callback (if not NULL) associated with @state for all online
+ CPUs which have currently a state greater than @state. The callback is
+ only invoked for the to be removed instance. Depending on the state
+ section the callback is either invoked on the current CPU (PREPARE
+ section) or on each online CPU (ONLINE section) in the context of the
+ CPU's hotplug thread.
+
+ In order to complete the removal, the teardown callback should not fail.
+
+The node list add/remove operations and the callback invocations are
+serialized against CPU hotplug operations. These functions cannot be used
+from within CPU hotplug callbacks and CPU hotplug read locked regions.
+
+Examples
+--------
+
+Setup and teardown a statically allocated state in the STARTING section for
+notifications on online and offline operations::
+
+ ret = cpuhp_setup_state(CPUHP_SUBSYS_STARTING, "subsys:starting", subsys_cpu_starting, subsys_cpu_dying);
+ if (ret < 0)
+ return ret;
+ ....
+ cpuhp_remove_state(CPUHP_SUBSYS_STARTING);
+
+Setup and teardown a dynamically allocated state in the ONLINE section
+for notifications on offline operations::
+
+ state = cpuhp_setup_state(CPUHP_ONLINE_DYN, "subsys:offline", NULL, subsys_cpu_offline);
+ if (state < 0)
+ return state;
+ ....
+ cpuhp_remove_state(state);
+
+Setup and teardown a dynamically allocated state in the ONLINE section
+for notifications on online operations without invoking the callbacks::
+
+ state = cpuhp_setup_state_nocalls(CPUHP_ONLINE_DYN, "subsys:online", subsys_cpu_online, NULL);
+ if (state < 0)
+ return state;
+ ....
+ cpuhp_remove_state_nocalls(state);
+
+Setup, use and teardown a dynamically allocated multi-instance state in the
+ONLINE section for notifications on online and offline operation::
+
+ state = cpuhp_setup_state_multi(CPUHP_ONLINE_DYN, "subsys:online", subsys_cpu_online, subsys_cpu_offline);
+ if (state < 0)
+ return state;
+ ....
+ ret = cpuhp_state_add_instance(state, &inst1->node);
+ if (ret)
+ return ret;
+ ....
+ ret = cpuhp_state_add_instance(state, &inst2->node);
+ if (ret)
+ return ret;
+ ....
+ cpuhp_remove_instance(state, &inst1->node);
+ ....
+ cpuhp_remove_instance(state, &inst2->node);
+ ....
+ remove_multi_state(state);
