If the algorithm we're parallelizing is asynchronous we might change
CPUs between padata_do_parallel() and padata_do_serial(). However, we
don't expect this to happen as we need to enqueue the padata object into
the per-cpu reorder queue we took it from, i.e. the same-cpu's parallel
queue.
Ensure we're not switching CPUs for a given padata object by tracking
the CPU within the padata object. If the serial callback gets called on
the wrong CPU, defer invoking padata_reorder() via a kernel worker on
the CPU we're expected to run on.

The reorder timer function runs on the CPU where the timer interrupt was
handled which is not necessarily one of the CPUs of the 'pcpu' CPU mask
set.
Ensure the padata_reorder() callback runs on the correct CPU, which is
one in the 'pcpu' CPU mask set and, preferrably, the next expected one.
Do so by comparing the current CPU with the expected target CPU. If they
match, call padata_reorder() right away. If they differ, schedule a work
item on the target CPU that does the padata_reorder() call for us.

The parallel queue per-cpu data structure gets initialized only for CPUs
in the 'pcpu' CPU mask set. This is not sufficient as the reorder timer
may run on a different CPU and might wrongly decide it's the target CPU
for the next reorder item as per-cpu memory gets memset(0) and we might
be waiting for the first CPU in cpumask.pcpu, i.e. cpu_index 0.
Make the '__this_cpu_read(pd->pqueue->cpu_index) == next_queue->cpu_index'
compare in padata_get_next() fail in this case by initializing the
cpu_index member of all per-cpu parallel queues. Use -1 for unused ones.

padata_alloc_possible()
padata_alloc()
cpus_read_lock()
The nested call to cpus_read_lock() works with the current implementation,
but prevents the conversion to a percpu rwsem.
The other caller of padata_alloc_possible() is pcrypt_init_padata() which
calls from a cpus_read_lock() protected region as well.
Remove the cpus_read_lock() call in padata_alloc() and document the

padata_reorder calls list_add_tail with the list to which its adding
locked, which seems correct:
spin_lock(&squeue->serial.lock);
list_add_tail(&padata->list, &squeue->serial.list);
spin_unlock(&squeue->serial.lock);
This therefore leaves only place where such inconsistency could occur:
if padata->list is added at the same time on two different threads.
This pdata pointer comes from the function call to
padata_get_next(pd), which has in it the following block:
next_queue = per_cpu_ptr(pd->pqueue, cpu);
padata = NULL;
reorder = &next_queue->reorder;
if (!list_empty(&reorder->list)) {
padata = list_entry(reorder->list.next,
struct padata_priv, list);
spin_lock(&reorder->lock);
list_del_init(&padata->list);
atomic_dec(&pd->reorder_objects);
spin_unlock(&reorder->lock);
pd->processed++;
goto out;
}
out:
return padata;
I strongly suspect that the problem here is that two threads can race
on reorder list. Even though the deletion is locked, call to
list_entry is not locked, which means it's feasible that two threads
pick up the same padata object and subsequently call list_add_tail on
them at the same time. The fix is thus be hoist that lock outside of
that block.

Using a spinlock to atomically increase a counter sounds wrong -- we've
atomic_t for this!
Also move 'seq_nr' to a different cache line than 'lock' to reduce cache
line trashing. This has the nice side effect of decreasing the size of
struct parallel_data from 192 to 128 bytes for a x86-64 build, e.g.
occupying only two instead of three cache lines.
Those changes results in a 5% performance increase on an IPsec test run
using pcrypt.

This patch fixes a bug when the padata cpumask does not
intersect with the active cpumask. In this case we get a
division by zero in padata_alloc_pd and we end up with a
useless padata instance. Padata can end up with an empty
cpumask for two reasons:
1. A user removed the last cpu that belongs to the padata
cpumask and the active cpumask.
2. The last cpu that belongs to the padata cpumask and the
active cpumask goes offline.
We introduce a function padata_validate_cpumask to check if the padata
cpumask does intersect with the active cpumask. If the cpumasks do not
intersect we mark the instance as invalid, so it can't be used. We do not
allocate the cpumask dependend recources in this case. This fixes the
division by zero and keeps the padate instance in a consistent state.
It's not possible to trigger this bug by now because the only padata user,
pcrypt uses always the possible cpumask.

padata_get_next needs to check whether the next object that
need serialization must be parallel processed by the local cpu.
This check was wrong implemented and returned always true,
so the try_again loop in padata_reorder was never taken. This
can lead to object leaks in some rare cases due to a race that
appears with the trylock in padata_reorder. The try_again loop
was not a good idea after all, because a cpu could take that
loop frequently, so we handle this with a timer instead.
This patch adds a timer to handle the race that appears with
the trylock. If cpu1 queues an object to the reorder queue while
cpu2 holds the pd->lock but left the while loop in padata_reorder
already, cpu2 can't care for this object and cpu1 exits because
it can't get the lock. Usually the next cpu that takes the lock
cares for this object too. We need the timer just if this object
