2010-03-15sched: Don't use possibly stale sched_classThomas Gleixner
commit 83ab0aa0d5623d823444db82c3b3c34d7ec364ae upstream. setscheduler() saves task->sched_class outside of the rq->lock held region for a check after the setscheduler changes have become effective. That might result in checking a stale value. rtmutex_setprio() has the same problem, though it is protected by p->pi_lock against setscheduler(), but for correctness sake (and to avoid bad examples) it needs to be fixed as well. Retrieve task->sched_class inside of the rq->lock held region.

2010-03-15sched: Fix SMT scheduler regression in find_busiest_queue()Suresh Siddha
commit 9000f05c6d1607f79c0deacf42b09693be673f4c upstream. Fix a SMT scheduler performance regression that is leading to a scenario where SMT threads in one core are completely idle while both the SMT threads in another core (on the same socket) are busy. This is caused by this commit (with the problematic code highlighted) commit bdb94aa5dbd8b55e75f5a50b61312fe589e2c2d1 Author: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Date: Tue Sep 1 10:34:38 2009 +0200 sched: Try to deal with low capacity @@ -4203,15 +4223,18 @@ find_busiest_queue() ... for_each_cpu(i, sched_group_cpus(group)) { + unsigned long power = power_of(i); ... - wl = weighted_cpuload(i); + wl = weighted_cpuload(i) * SCHED_LOAD_SCALE; + wl /= power; - if (rq->nr_running == 1 && wl > imbalance) + if (capacity && rq->nr_running == 1 && wl > imbalance) continue; On a SMT system, power of the HT logical cpu will be 589 and the scheduler load imbalance (for scenarios like the one mentioned above) can be approximately 1024 (SCHED_LOAD_SCALE). The above change of scaling the weighted load with the power will result in "wl > imbalance" and ultimately resulting in find_busiest_queue() return NULL, causing load_balance() to think that the load is well balanced. But infact one of the tasks can be moved to the idle core for optimal performance. We don't need to use the weighted load (wl) scaled by the cpu power to compare with imabalance. In that condition, we already know there is only a single task "rq->nr_running == 1" and the comparison between imbalance, wl is to make sure that we select the correct priority thread which matches imbalance. So we really need to compare the imabalnce with the original weighted load of the cpu and not the scaled load. But in other conditions where we want the most hammered(busiest) cpu, we can use scaled load to ensure that we consider the cpu power in addition to the actual load on that cpu, so that we can move the load away from the guy that is getting most hammered with respect to the actual capacity, as compared with the rest of the cpu's in that busiest group. Fix it.

2010-01-21sched: Fix fork vs hotplug vs cpuset namespacesPeter Zijlstra
There are a number of issues: 1) TASK_WAKING vs cgroup_clone (cpusets) copy_process(): sched_fork() child->state = TASK_WAKING; /* waiting for wake_up_new_task() */ if (current->nsproxy != p->nsproxy) ns_cgroup_clone() cgroup_clone() mutex_lock(inode->i_mutex) mutex_lock(cgroup_mutex) cgroup_attach_task() ss->can_attach() ss->attach() [ -> cpuset_attach() ] cpuset_attach_task() set_cpus_allowed_ptr(); while (child->state == TASK_WAKING) cpu_relax(); will deadlock the system. 2) cgroup_clone (cpusets) vs copy_process So even if the above would work we still have: copy_process(): if (current->nsproxy != p->nsproxy) ns_cgroup_clone() cgroup_clone() mutex_lock(inode->i_mutex) mutex_lock(cgroup_mutex) cgroup_attach_task() ss->can_attach() ss->attach() [ -> cpuset_attach() ] cpuset_attach_task() set_cpus_allowed_ptr(); ... p->cpus_allowed = current->cpus_allowed over-writing the modified cpus_allowed. 3) fork() vs hotplug if we unplug the child's cpu after the sanity check when the child gets attached to the task_list but before wake_up_new_task() shit will meet with fan. Solve all these issues by moving fork cpu selection into wake_up_new_task(). Reported-by: Serge E. Hallyn <serue@us.ibm.com> Tested-by: Serge E.

2009-12-17sched: Teach might_sleep() about preemptible RCUFrederic Weisbecker
In practice, it is harmless to voluntarily sleep in a rcu_read_lock() section if we are running under preempt rcu, but it is illegal if we build a kernel running non-preemptable rcu. Currently, might_sleep() doesn't notice sleepable operations under rcu_read_lock() sections if we are running under preemptable rcu because preempt_count() is left untouched after rcu_read_lock() in this case. But we want developers who test their changes under such config to notice the "sleeping while atomic" issues. So we add rcu_read_lock_nesting to prempt_count() in might_sleep() checks.

2009-12-16sched: Remove the cfs_rq dependency from set_task_cpu()Peter Zijlstra
In order to remove the cfs_rq dependency from set_task_cpu() we need to ensure the task is cfs_rq invariant for all callsites. The simple approach is to substract cfs_rq->min_vruntime from se->vruntime on dequeue, and add cfs_rq->min_vruntime on enqueue. However, this has the downside of breaking FAIR_SLEEPERS since we loose the old vruntime as we only maintain the relative position. To solve this, we observe that we only migrate runnable tasks, we do this using deactivate_task(.sleep=0) and activate_task(.wakeup=0), therefore we can restrain the min_vruntime invariance to that state. The only other case is wakeup balancing, since we want to maintain the old vruntime we cannot make it relative on dequeue, but since we don't migrate inactive tasks, we can do so right before we activate it again. This is where we need the new pre-wakeup hook, we need to call this while still holding the old rq->lock. We could fold it into ->select_task_rq(), but since that has multiple callsites and would obfuscate the locking requirements, that seems like a fudge. This leaves the fork() case, simply make sure that ->task_fork() leaves the ->vruntime in a relative state. This covers all cases where set_task_cpu() gets called, and ensures it sees a relative vruntime.

2009-12-16sched: Fix select_task_rq() vs hotplug issuesPeter Zijlstra
Since select_task_rq() is now responsible for guaranteeing ->cpus_allowed and cpu_active_mask, we need to verify this. select_task_rq_rt() can blindly return smp_processor_id()/task_cpu() without checking the valid masks, select_task_rq_fair() can do the same in the rare case that all SD_flags are disabled.

2009-12-16sched: Ensure set_task_cpu() is never called on blocked tasksPeter Zijlstra
In order to clean up the set_task_cpu() rq dependencies we need to ensure it is never called on blocked tasks because such usage does not pair with consistent rq->lock usage. This puts the migration burden on ttwu(). Furthermore we need to close a race against changing ->cpus_allowed, since select_task_rq() runs with only preemption disabled. For sched_fork() this is safe because the child isn't in the tasklist yet, for wakeup we fix this by synchronizing set_cpus_allowed_ptr() against TASK_WAKING, which leaves sched_exec to be a problem This also closes a hole in (6ad4c1888 sched: Fix balance vs hotplug race) where ->select_task_rq() doesn't validate the result against the sched_domain/root_domain.

As scaling now takes place on all kind of cpu add/remove events a user that configures values via proc should be able to configure if his set values are still rescaled or kept whatever happens. As the comments state that log2 was just a second guess that worked the interface is not just designed for on/off, but to choose a scaling type. Currently this allows none, log and linear, but more important it allwos us to keep the interface even if someone has an even better idea how to scale the values.

2009-12-09sched: Fix missing sched tunable recalculation on cpu add/removeChristian Ehrhardt
Based on Peter Zijlstras patch suggestion this enables recalculation of the scheduler tunables in response of a change in the number of cpus. It also adds a max of eight cpus that are considered in that scaling.

2009-12-09sched: Fix task priority bugPeter Zijlstra
83f9ac removed a call to effective_prio() in wake_up_new_task(), which leads to tasks running at MAX_PRIO. This is caused by the idle thread being set to MAX_PRIO before forking off init. O(1) used that to make sure idle was always preempted, CFS uses check_preempt_curr_idle() for that so we can savely remove this bit of legacy code.

2009-12-09sched: cgroup: Implement different treatment for idle sharesPeter Zijlstra
When setting the weight for a per-cpu task-group, we have to put in a phantom weight when there is no work on that cpu, otherwise we'll not service that cpu when new work gets placed there until we again update the per-cpu weights. We used to add these phantom weights to the total, so that the idle per-cpu shares don't get inflated, this however causes the non-idle parts to get deflated, causing unexpected weight distibutions. Reverse this, so that the non-idle shares are correct but the idle shares are inflated.

2009-12-09sched: Sanitize fork() handlingPeter Zijlstra
Currently we try to do task placement in wake_up_new_task() after we do the load-balance pass in sched_fork(). This yields complicated semantics in that we have to deal with tasks on different RQs and the set_task_cpu() calls in copy_process() and sched_fork() Rename ->task_new() to ->task_fork() and call it from sched_fork() before the balancing, this gives the policy a clear point to place the task.

2009-12-09sched: Remove rq->clock coupling from set_task_cpu()Peter Zijlstra
set_task_cpu() should be rq invariant and only touch task state, it currently fails to do so, which opens up a few races, since not all callers hold both rq->locks. Remove the relyance on rq->clock, as any site calling set_task_cpu() should also do a remote clock update, which should ensure the observed time between these two cpus is monotonic, as per kernel/sched_clock.c:sched_clock_remote(). Therefore we can simply remove the clock_offset bits and be happy. Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> LKML-Reference: <new-submission> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2009-12-06sched: Fix balance vs hotplug racePeter Zijlstra
Since (e761b77: cpu hotplug, sched: Introduce cpu_active_map and redo sched domain managment) we have cpu_active_mask which is suppose to rule scheduler migration and load-balancing, except it never (fully) did. The particular problem being solved here is a crash in try_to_wake_up() where select_task_rq() ends up selecting an offline cpu because select_task_rq_fair() trusts the sched_domain tree to reflect the current state of affairs, similarly select_task_rq_rt() trusts the root_domain. However, the sched_domains are updated from CPU_DEAD, which is after the cpu is taken offline and after stop_machine is done. Therefore it can race perfectly well with code assuming the domains are right. Cure this by building the domains from cpu_active_mask on CPU_DOWN_PREPARE.
