Patch "sched/fair: add triggers for OPP change requests" introduced OPP
change triggers for enqueue_task_fair(), but the trigger was operating only
for wakeups. Fact is that it makes sense to consider wakeup_new also (i.e.,
fork()), as we don't know anything about a newly created task and thus we
most certainly want to jump to max OPP to not harm performance too much.
However, it is not currently possible (or at least it wasn't evident to me
how to do so :/) to tell new wakeups from other (non wakeup) operations.
This patch introduces an additional flag in sched.h that is only set at
fork() time and it is then consumed in enqueue_task_fair() for our purpose.

Scheduler-driven CPU frequency selection hopes to exploit both
per-task and global information in the scheduler to improve frequency
selection policy, achieving lower power consumption, improved
responsiveness/performance, and less reliance on heuristics and
tunables. For further discussion on the motivation of this integration
see [0].
This patch implements a shim layer between the Linux scheduler and the
cpufreq subsystem. The interface accepts capacity requests from the
CFS, RT and deadline sched classes. The requests from each sched class
are summed on each CPU with a margin applied to the CFS and RT
capacity requests to provide some headroom. Deadline requests are
expected to be precise enough given their nature to not require
headroom. The maximum total capacity request for a CPU in a frequency
domain drives the requested frequency for that domain.
Policy is determined by both the sched classes and this shim layer.
Note that this algorithm is event-driven. There is no polling loop to
check cpu idle time nor any other method which is unsynchronized with
the scheduler, aside from a throttling mechanism to ensure frequency
changes are not attempted faster than the hardware can accommodate them.

With the new group_misfit_task load-balancing scenario additional policy
conditions are needed when load-balancing. Misfit task balancing only
makes sense between source group with lower capacity than the target
group. If capacities are the same, fallback to normal group_other
balancing. The aim is to balance tasks such that no task has its
throughput hindered by compute capacity if a cpu with more capacity is
available. Load-balancing is generally based on average load in the
sched_groups, but for misfitting tasks it is necessary to introduce
exceptions to migrate tasks against usual metrics and optimize
throughput.
This patch ensures the following load-balance for mixed capacity systems
(e.g. ARM big.LITTLE) for always-running tasks:
1. Place a task on each cpu starting in order from cpus with highest
capacity to lowest until all cpus are in use (i.e. one task on each
cpu).
2. Once all cpus are in use balance according to compute capacity such
that load per capacity is approximately the same regardless of the
compute capacity (i.e. big cpus get more tasks than little cpus).
Necessary changes are introduced in find_busiest_group(),
calculate_imbalance(), and find_busiest_queue(). This includes passing
the group_type on to find_busiest_queue() through struct lb_env, which
is currently only considers imbalance and not the imbalance situation
(group_type).
To avoid taking remote rq locks to examine source sched_groups for
misfit tasks, each cpu is responsible for tracking misfit tasks
themselves and update the rq->misfit_task flag. This means checking task
utilization when tasks are scheduled and on sched_tick.

To maximize throughput in systems with reduced capacity cpus (e.g.
high RT/IRQ load and/or ARM big.LITTLE) load-balancing has to consider
task and cpu utilization as well as per-cpu compute capacity when
load-balancing in addition to the current average load based
load-balancing policy. Tasks that are scheduled on a reduced capacity
cpu need to be identified and migrated to a higher capacity cpu if
possible.
To implement this additional policy an additional group_type
(load-balance scenario) is added: group_misfit_task. This represents
scenarios where a sched_group has tasks that are not suitable for its
per-cpu capacity. group_misfit_task is only considered if the system is
not overloaded in any other way (group_imbalanced or group_overloaded).
Identifying misfit tasks requires the rq lock to be held. To avoid
taking remote rq locks to examine source sched_groups for misfit tasks,
each cpu is responsible for tracking misfit tasks themselves and update
the rq->misfit_task flag. This means checking task utilization when
tasks are scheduled and on sched_tick.

struct sched_group_capacity currently represents the compute capacity
sum of all cpus in the sched_group. Unless it is divided by the
group_weight to get the average capacity per cpu it hides differences in
cpu capacity for mixed capacity systems (e.g. high RT/IRQ utilization or
ARM big.LITTLE). But even the average may not be sufficient if the group
covers cpus of different capacities. Instead, by extending struct
sched_group_capacity to indicate max per-cpu capacity in the group a
suitable group for a given task utilization can easily be found such
that cpus with reduced capacity can be avoided for tasks with high
utilization (not implemented by this patch).

EAS relies on idle balance to migrate a misfit task towards a cpu with
higher capacity.
When such a cpu becomes idle, idle balance should happen even if the rq
avg idle is smaller than the sched migration cost (default 500us).
The rq avg idle is updated during the wakeup of a task in case the rq has
a non-null idle_stamp. This value stays unchanged and valid until the next
task wakes up on this cpu after an idle period.
So rq avg idle could be smaller than sched migration cost preventing the
idle balance from happening. In this case we would be at the mercy of
wakeup, periodic or nohz-idle load balancing to put another task on this
cpu.
To break this dependency towards rq avg idle make EAS idle balance
independent from this rq avg idle has to be larger than sched migration
cost.

Wakeup balancing uses cpu capacity awareness and needs to know the
system-wide maximum cpu capacity.
Patch "sched: Store system-wide maximum cpu capacity in root domain"
finds the system-wide maximum cpu capacity during scheduler domain
hierarchy setup. This is sufficient as long as maximum frequency
invariance is not enabled.
If it is enabled, the system-wide maximum cpu capacity can change
between scheduler domain hierarchy setups due to frequency capping.
The cpu capacity is changed in update_cpu_capacity() which is called in
load balance on the lowest scheduler domain hierarchy level. To be able
to know if a change in cpu capacity for a certain cpu also has an effect
on the system-wide maximum cpu capacity it is normally necessary to
iterate over all cpus. This would be way too costly. That's why this
patch follows a different approach.
The unsigned long max_cpu_capacity value in struct root_domain is
replaced with a struct max_cpu_capacity, containing value (the
max_cpu_capacity) and cpu (the cpu index of the cpu providing the
maximum cpu_capacity).
Changes to the system-wide maximum cpu capacity and the cpu index are
made if:
1 System-wide maximum cpu capacity < cpu capacity
2 System-wide maximum cpu capacity > cpu capacity and cpu index == cpu
There are no changes to the system-wide maximum cpu capacity in all
other cases.
Atomic read and write access to the pair (max_cpu_capacity.val,
max_cpu_capacity.cpu) is enforced by max_cpu_capacity.lock.
The access to max_cpu_capacity.val in task_fits_max() is still performed
without taking the max_cpu_capacity.lock.
The code to set max cpu capacity in build_sched_domains() has been
removed because the whole functionality is now provided by
update_cpu_capacity() instead.
This approach can introduce errors temporarily, e.g. in case the cpu
currently providing the max cpu capacity has its cpu capacity lowered
due to frequency capping and calls update_cpu_capacity() before any cpu
which might provide the max cpu now.
There is also an outstanding question:
Should the cpu capacity of a cpu going idle be set to a very small
value?

In case the system operates below the tipping point indicator,
introduced in ("sched: Add over-utilization/tipping point
indicator"), bail out in find_busiest_group after the dst and src
group statistics have been checked.
There is simply no need to move usage around because all involved
cpus still have spare cycles available.
For an energy-aware system below its tipping point, we rely on the
task placement of the wakeup path. This works well for short running
tasks.
The existence of long running tasks on one of the involved cpus lets
the system operate over its tipping point. To be able to move such
a task (whose load can't be used to average the load among the cpus)
from a src cpu with lower capacity than the dst_cpu, an additional

Energy-aware scheduling is only meant to be active while the system is
_not_ over-utilized. That is, there are spare cycles available to shift
tasks around based on their actual utilization to get a more
energy-efficient task distribution without depriving any tasks. When
above the tipping point task placement is done the traditional way based
on load_avg, spreading the tasks across as many cpus as possible based
on priority scaled load to preserve smp_nice. Below the tipping point we
want to use util_avg instead. We need to define a criteria for when we
make the switch.
The util_avg for each cpu converges towards 100% (1024) regardless of
how many task additional task we may put on it. If we define
over-utilized as:
sum_{cpus}(rq.cfs.avg.util_avg) + margin > sum_{cpus}(rq.capacity)
some individual cpus may be over-utilized running multiple tasks even
when the above condition is false. That should be okay as long as we try
to spread the tasks out to avoid per-cpu over-utilization as much as
possible and if all tasks have the _same_ priority. If the latter isn't
true, we have to consider priority to preserve smp_nice.
For example, we could have n_cpus nice=-10 util_avg=55% tasks and
n_cpus/2 nice=0 util_avg=60% tasks. Balancing based on util_avg we are
likely to end up with nice=-10 tasks sharing cpus and nice=0 tasks
getting their own as we 1.5*n_cpus tasks in total and 55%+55% is less
over-utilized than 55%+60% for those cpus that have to be shared. The
system utilization is only 85% of the system capacity, but we are
breaking smp_nice.
To be sure not to break smp_nice, we have defined over-utilization
conservatively as when any cpu in the system is fully utilized at it's
highest frequency instead:
cpu_rq(any).cfs.avg.util_avg + margin > cpu_rq(any).capacity
IOW, as soon as one cpu is (nearly) 100% utilized, we switch to load_avg
to factor in priority to preserve smp_nice.
With this definition, we can skip periodic load-balance as no cpu has an
always-running task when the system is not over-utilized. All tasks will
be periodic and we can balance them at wake-up. This conservative
condition does however mean that some scenarios that could benefit from
energy-aware decisions even if one cpu is fully utilized would not get
those benefits.
For system where some cpus might have reduced capacity on some cpus
(RT-pressure and/or big.LITTLE), we want periodic load-balance checks as
soon a just a single cpu is fully utilized as it might one of those with
reduced capacity and in that case we want to migrate it.

The sched_group_energy (sge) pointer of the first sched_group (sg) in
the sched_domain (sd) is initialized to point to the appropriate (in

correct part of the Energy Model (EM).
Energy-aware scheduling allows that a system has only EM data up to a
certain sd level (so called highest energy aware balancing sd level).
A check in init_sched_energy() enforces that all sd's below this sd
level contain EM data.
The 'int cpu' parameter of sched_domain_energy_f requires that

The struct sched_group_energy represents the per sched_group related

(2) pointer to the idle state array which comprises 'power consumption'
for each idle state
(3) number of elements of the capacity state array
(4) pointer to the capacity state array which comprises 'compute
capacity and power consumption' tuples for each capacity state
The struct sched_group obtains a pointer to a struct sched_group_energy.
The function pointer sched_domain_energy_f is introduced into struct
sched_domain_topology_level which will allow the arch to pass a particular
struct sched_group_energy from the topology shim layer into the scheduler
core.
The function pointer sched_domain_energy_f has an 'int cpu' parameter
since the folding of two adjacent sd levels via sd degenerate doesn't work
for all sd levels. I.e. it is not possible for example to use this feature
to provide per-cpu energy in sd level DIE on ARM's TC2 platform.
It was discussed that the folding of sd levels approach is preferable
over the cpu parameter approach, simply because the user (the arch
specifying the sd topology table) can introduce less errors. But since
it is not working, the 'int cpu' parameter is the only way out. It's
possible to use the folding of sd levels approach for
sched_domain_flags_f and the cpu parameter approach for the
sched_domain_energy_f at the same time though. With the use of the
'int cpu' parameter, an extra check function has to be provided to make
sure that all cpus spanned by a sched group are provisioned with the same
energy data.

Scenarios with the busiest group having just one task and the local

Wakeup balancing is completely unaware of cpu capacity, cpu utilization
and task utilization. The task is preferably placed on a cpu which is
idle in the instant the wakeup happens. New tasks
(SD_BALANCE_{FORK,EXEC} are placed on an idle cpu in the idlest group if
such can be found, otherwise it goes on the least loaded one. Existing
tasks (SD_BALANCE_WAKE) are placed on the previous cpu or an idle cpu
sharing the same last level cache unless the wakee_flips heuristic in
wake_wide() decides to fallback to considering cpus outside SD_LLC.
Hence existing tasks are not guaranteed to get a chance to migrate to a
different group at wakeup in case the current one has reduced cpu
capacity (due RT/IRQ pressure or different uarch e.g. ARM big.LITTLE).
They may eventually get pulled by other cpus doing
periodic/idle/nohz_idle balance, but it may take quite a while before it
happens.
This patch adds capacity awareness to find_idlest_{group,queue} (used by
SD_BALANCE_{FORK,EXEC} and SD_BALANCE_WAKE under certain circumstances)
such that groups/cpus that can accommodate the waking task based on task
utilization are preferred. In addition, wakeup of existing tasks
(SD_BALANCE_WAKE) is sent through find_idlest_{group,queue} also if the
task doesn't fit the capacity of the previous cpu to allow it to escape
(override wake_affine) when necessary instead of relying on
periodic/idle/nohz_idle balance to eventually sort it out.

css_released(), cgroup core didn't guarantee the order of invocation.
css_offline() or css_free() could be called on a parent css before its
children. This behavior is unexpected and led to bugs in cpu and
memory controller.
The previous patch updated ordering for css_offline() which fixes the
cpu controller issue. While there currently isn't a known bug caused
by misordering of css_free() invocations, let's fix it too for
consistency.
css_free() ordering can be trivially fixed by moving putting of the
parent css below css_free() invocation.

commit 5cf1cacb49aee39c3e02ae87068fc3c6430659b0 upstream.
Since e93ad19d0564 ("cpuset: make mm migration asynchronous"), cpuset
kicks off asynchronous NUMA node migration if necessary during task
migration and flushes it from cpuset_post_attach_flush() which is
called at the end of __cgroup_procs_write(). This is to avoid
performing migration with cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem write-locked which
can lead to deadlock through dependency on kworker creation.
memcg has a similar issue with charge moving, so let's convert it to
an official callback rather than the current one-off cpuset specific
function. This patch adds cgroup_subsys->post_attach callback and
makes cpuset register cpuset_post_attach_flush() as its ->post_attach.
The conversion is mostly one-to-one except that the new callback is
called under cgroup_mutex. This is to guarantee that no other
migration operations are started before ->post_attach callbacks are
finished. cgroup_mutex is one of the outermost mutex in the system
and has never been and shouldn't be a problem. We can add specialized
synchronization around __cgroup_procs_write() but I don't think
there's any noticeable benefit.

The underlying device is a null_blk, with default parameters:
queue_mode = MQ
submit_queues = 1
Verification that nullb0 has something inflight:
root@pserver8:~# cat /sys/block/nullb0/inflight
0 1
root@pserver8:~# find /sys/block/nullb0/mq/0/cpu* -name rq_list -print -exec cat {} \;
...
/sys/block/nullb0/mq/0/cpu2/rq_list
CTX pending:
ffff8838038e2400
...
During debug it became clear that stalled request is always inserted in
the rq_list from the following path:
save_stack_trace_tsk + 34
blk_mq_insert_requests + 231
blk_mq_flush_plug_list + 281
blk_flush_plug_list + 199
wait_on_page_bit + 192
__filemap_fdatawait_range + 228
filemap_fdatawait_range + 20
filemap_write_and_wait_range + 63
blkdev_fsync + 27
vfs_fsync_range + 73
blkdev_write_iter + 202
__vfs_write + 170
vfs_write + 169
kernel_write + 56
So blk_flush_plug_list() was called with from_schedule == true.
If from_schedule is true, that means that finally blk_mq_insert_requests()
offloads execution of __blk_mq_run_hw_queue() and uses kblockd workqueue,
i.e. it calls kblockd_schedule_delayed_work_on().
That means, that we race with another CPU, which is about to execute
__blk_mq_run_hw_queue() work.
Further debugging shows the following traces from different CPUs:
CPU#0 CPU#1
---------------------------------- -------------------------------
reqeust A inserted
STORE hctx->ctx_map[0] bit marked
kblockd_schedule...() returns 1
<schedule to kblockd workqueue>
request B inserted
STORE hctx->ctx_map[1] bit marked
kblockd_schedule...() returns 0
*** WORK PENDING bit is cleared ***
flush_busy_ctxs() is executed, but
bit 1, set by CPU#1, is not observed
As a result request B pended forever.
This behaviour can be explained by speculative LOAD of hctx->ctx_map on
CPU#0, which is reordered with clear of PENDING bit and executed _before_
actual STORE of bit 1 on CPU#1.
The proper fix is an explicit full barrier <mfence>, which guarantees
that clear of PENDING bit is to be executed before all possible
speculative LOADS or STORES inside actual work function.

commit 89e9e66ba1b3bde9d8ea90566c2aee20697ad681 upstream.
If userspace calls UNLOCK_PI unconditionally without trying the TID -> 0
transition in user space first then the user space value might not have the
waiters bit set. This opens the following race:
CPU0 CPU1
uval = get_user(futex)
lock(hb)
lock(hb)
futex |= FUTEX_WAITERS
....
unlock(hb)
cmpxchg(futex, uval, newval)
So the cmpxchg fails and returns -EINVAL to user space, which is wrong because
the futex value is valid.
To handle this (yes, yet another) corner case gracefully, check for a flag
change and retry.

commit 2f5177f0fd7e531b26d54633be62d1d4cb94621c upstream.
The CPU controller hasn't kept up with the various changes in the whole
cgroup initialization / destruction sequence, and commit:
2e91fa7f6d ("cgroup: keep zombies associated with their original cgroups")
caused it to explode.
The reason for this is that zombies do not inhibit css_offline() from
being called, but do stall css_released(). Now we tear down the cfs_rq
structures on css_offline() but zombies can run after that, leading to
use-after-free issues.
The solution is to move the tear-down to css_released(), which
guarantees nobody (including no zombies) is still using our cgroup.
Furthermore, a few simple cleanups are possible too. There doesn't
appear to be any point to us using css_online() (anymore?) so fold that
in css_alloc().
And since cgroup code guarantees an RCU grace period between
css_released() and css_free() we can forgo using call_rcu() and free the
stuff immediately.

commit 28a967c3a2f99fa3b5f762f25cb2a319d933571b upstream.
Because event_sched_out() checks event->pending_disable _before_
actually disabling the event, it can happen that the event fires after
it checks but before it gets disabled.
This would leave event->pending_disable set and the queued irq_work
will try and process it.
However, if the event trigger was during schedule(), the event might
have been de-scheduled by the time the irq_work runs, and
perf_event_disable_local() will fail.
Fix this by checking event->pending_disable _after_ we call
event->pmu->del(). This depends on the latter being a compiler
barrier, such that the compiler does not lift the load and re-creates
the problem.

[ Upstream commit cdc4e47da8f4c32eeb6b2061a8a834f4362a12b7 ]
Lots of places in the kernel use memcpy(buf, comm, TASK_COMM_LEN); but
the result is typically passed to print("%s", buf) and extra bytes
after zero don't cause any harm.
In bpf the result of bpf_get_current_comm() is used as the part of
map key and was causing spurious hash map mismatches.
Use strlcpy() to guarantee zero-terminated string.
bpf verifier checks that output buffer is zero-initialized,
so even for short task names the output buffer don't have junk bytes.
Note it's not a security concern, since kprobe+bpf is root only.

commit e9532e69b8d1d1284e8ecf8d2586de34aec61244 upstream.
On CPU hotplug the steal time accounting can keep a stale rq->prev_steal_time
value over CPU down and up. So after the CPU comes up again the delta
calculation in steal_account_process_tick() wreckages itself due to the
unsigned math:
u64 steal = paravirt_steal_clock(smp_processor_id());
steal -= this_rq()->prev_steal_time;
So if steal is smaller than rq->prev_steal_time we end up with an insane large
value which then gets added to rq->prev_steal_time, resulting in a permanent
wreckage of the accounting. As a consequence the per CPU stats in /proc/stat
become stale.
Nice trick to tell the world how idle the system is (100%) while the CPU is
100% busy running tasks. Though we prefer realistic numbers.
None of the accounting values which use a previous value to account for
fractions is reset at CPU hotplug time. update_rq_clock_task() has a sanity
check for prev_irq_time and prev_steal_time_rq, but that sanity check solely
deals with clock warps and limits the /proc/stat visible wreckage. The
prev_time values are still wrong.
Solution is simple: Reset rq->prev_*_time when the CPU is plugged in again.

commit 3debb0a9ddb16526de8b456491b7db60114f7b5e upstream.
The trace_printk() code will allocate extra buffers if the compile detects
that a trace_printk() is used. To do this, the format of the trace_printk()
is saved to the __trace_printk_fmt section, and if that section is bigger
than zero, the buffers are allocated (along with a message that this has
happened).
If trace_printk() uses a format that is not a constant, and thus something
not guaranteed to be around when the print happens, the compiler optimizes
the fmt out, as it is not used, and the __trace_printk_fmt section is not
filled. This means the kernel will not allocate the special buffers needed
for the trace_printk() and the trace_printk() will not write anything to the
tracing buffer.
Adding a "__used" to the variable in the __trace_printk_fmt section will
keep it around, even though it is set to NULL. This will keep the string
from being printed in the debugfs/tracing/printk_formats section as it is
not needed.

commit cb86e05390debcc084cfdb0a71ed4c5dbbec517d upstream.
Joel Fernandes reported that the function tracing of preempt disabled
sections was not being reported when running either the preemptirqsoff or
preemptoff tracers. This was due to the fact that the function tracer
callback for those tracers checked if irqs were disabled before tracing. But
this fails when we want to trace preempt off locations as well.
Joel explained that he wanted to see funcitons where interrupts are enabled
but preemption was disabled. The expected output he wanted:
<...>-2265 1d.h1 3419us : preempt_count_sub <-irq_exit
<...>-2265 1d..1 3419us : __do_softirq <-irq_exit

<...>-2265 1d.s1 3423us : __local_bh_enable <-__do_softirq
There's a comment saying that the irq disabled check is because there's a
possible race that tracing_cpu may be set when the function is executed. But
I don't remember that race. For now, I added a check for preemption being
enabled too to not record the function, as there would be no race if that
was the case. I need to re-investigate this, as I'm now thinking that the
tracing_cpu will always be correct. But no harm in keeping the check for
now, except for the slight performance hit.

commit 378c6520e7d29280f400ef2ceaf155c86f05a71a upstream.
This commit fixes the following security hole affecting systems where
all of the following conditions are fulfilled:
- The fs.suid_dumpable sysctl is set to 2.
- The kernel.core_pattern sysctl's value starts with "/". (Systems
where kernel.core_pattern starts with "|/" are not affected.)
- Unprivileged user namespace creation is permitted. (This is
true on Linux >=3.8, but some distributions disallow it by
default using a distro patch.)
Under these conditions, if a program executes under secure exec rules,
causing it to run with the SUID_DUMP_ROOT flag, then unshares its user
namespace, changes its root directory and crashes, the coredump will be
written using fsuid=0 and a path derived from kernel.core_pattern - but
this path is interpreted relative to the root directory of the process,
allowing the attacker to control where a coredump will be written with
root privileges.
To fix the security issue, always interpret core_pattern for dumps that
are written under SUID_DUMP_ROOT relative to the root directory of init.

commit 2b021cbf3cb6208f0d40fd2f1869f237934340ed upstream.
Before 2e91fa7f6d ("cgroup: keep zombies associated with their
original cgroups"), all dead tasks were associated with init_css_set.
If a zombie task is requested for migration, while migration prep
operations would still be performed on init_css_set, the actual
migration would ignore zombie tasks. As init_css_set is always valid,
this worked fine.
However, after 2e91fa7f6d, zombie tasks stay with the css_set it was
associated with at the time of death. Let's say a task T associated
with cgroup A on hierarchy H-1 and cgroup B on hiearchy H-2. After T
becomes a zombie, it would still remain associated with A and B. If A
only contains zombie tasks, it can be removed. On removal, A gets
marked offline but stays pinned until all zombies are drained. At
this point, if migration is initiated on T to a cgroup C on hierarchy
H-2, migration path would try to prepare T's css_set for migration and
trigger the following.

It doesn't make sense to prepare migration for css_sets pointing to
dead cgroups as they are guaranteed to contain only zombies which are
ignored later during migration. This patch makes cgroup destruction
path mark all affected css_sets as dead and updates the migration path
to ignore them during preparation.

commit a1ee1932aa6bea0bb074f5e3ced112664e4637ed upstream.
While working on a script to restore all sysctl params before a series of
tests I found that writing any value into the
/proc/sys/kernel/{nmi_watchdog,soft_watchdog,watchdog,watchdog_thresh}
causes them to call proc_watchdog_update().
NMI watchdog: enabled on all CPUs, permanently consumes one hw-PMU counter.
NMI watchdog: enabled on all CPUs, permanently consumes one hw-PMU counter.
NMI watchdog: enabled on all CPUs, permanently consumes one hw-PMU counter.
NMI watchdog: enabled on all CPUs, permanently consumes one hw-PMU counter.
There doesn't appear to be a reason for doing this work every time a write
occurs, so only do it when the values change.
