2017-06-20sched/fair: WARN() and refuse to set buddy when !se->on_rqDaniel Axtens
If we set a next or last buddy for a se that is not on_rq, we will end up taking a NULL pointer dereference in wakeup_preempt_entity via pick_next_task_fair. Detect when we would be about to do that, throw a warning and then refuse to actually set it. This has been suggested at least twice: https://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=146651668921468&w=2 https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/6/16/663 I recently had to debug a problem with these (we hadn't backported Konstantin's patches in this area) and this would have saved a lot of time/pain. Just do it.

2017-06-08sched/deadline: Use the revised wakeup rule for suspending constrained dl tasksDaniel Bristot de Oliveira
We have been facing some problems with self-suspending constrained deadline tasks. The main reason is that the original CBS was not designed for such sort of tasks. One problem reported by Xunlei Pang takes place when a task suspends, and then is awakened before the deadline, but so close to the deadline that its remaining runtime can cause the task to have an absolute density higher than allowed. In such situation, the original CBS assumes that the task is facing an early activation, and so it replenishes the task and set another deadline, one deadline in the future. This rule works fine for implicit deadline tasks. Moreover, it allows the system to adapt the period of a task in which the external event source suffered from a clock drift. However, this opens the window for bandwidth leakage for constrained deadline tasks. For instance, a task with the following parameters: runtime = 5 ms deadline = 7 ms [density] = 5 / 7 = 0.71 period = 1000 ms If the task runs for 1 ms, and then suspends for another 1ms, it will be awakened with the following parameters: remaining runtime = 4 laxity = 5 presenting a absolute density of 4 / 5 = 0.80. In this case, the original CBS would assume the task had an early wakeup. Then, CBS will reset the runtime, and the absolute deadline will be postponed by one relative deadline, allowing the task to run. The problem is that, if the task runs this pattern forever, it will keep receiving bandwidth, being able to run 1ms every 2ms. Following this behavior, the task would be able to run 500 ms in 1 sec. Thus running more than the 5 ms / 1 sec the admission control allowed it to run. Trying to address the self-suspending case, Luca Abeni, Giuseppe Lipari, and Juri Lelli [1] revisited the CBS in order to deal with self-suspending tasks. In the new approach, rather than replenishing/postponing the absolute deadline, the revised wakeup rule adjusts the remaining runtime, reducing it to fit into the allowed density. A revised version of the idea is: At a given time t, the maximum absolute density of a task cannot be higher than its relative density, that is: runtime / (deadline - t) <= dl_runtime / dl_deadline Knowing the laxity of a task (deadline - t), it is possible to move it to the other side of the equality, thus enabling to define max remaining runtime a task can use within the absolute deadline, without over-running the allowed density: runtime = (dl_runtime / dl_deadline) * (deadline - t) For instance, in our previous example, the task could still run: runtime = ( 5 / 7 ) * 5 runtime = 3.57 ms Without causing damage for other deadline tasks. It is note worthy that the laxity cannot be negative because that would cause a negative runtime. Thus, this patch depends on the patch: df8eac8cafce ("sched/deadline: Throttle a constrained deadline task activated after the deadline") Which throttles a constrained deadline task activated after the deadline. Finally, it is also possible to use the revised wakeup rule for all other tasks, but that would require some more discussions about pros and cons.

2017-06-08sched/deadline: Reclaim bandwidth not used by dl tasksLuca Abeni
This commit introduces a per-runqueue "extra utilization" that can be reclaimed by deadline tasks. In this way, the maximum fraction of CPU time that can reclaimed by deadline tasks is fixed (and configurable) and does not depend on the total deadline utilization. The GRUB accounting rule is modified to add this "extra utilization" to the inactive utilization of the runqueue, and to avoid reclaiming more than a maximum fraction of the CPU time.

2017-06-08sched/deadline: Base GRUB reclaiming on the inactive utilizationLuca Abeni
Instead of decreasing the runtime as "dq = -Uact dt" (eventually divided by the maximum utilization available for deadline tasks), decrease it as "dq = -max{u, (1 - Uinact)} dt", where u is the task utilization and Uinact is the "inactive utilization". In this way, the maximum fraction of CPU time that can be reclaimed is given by the total utilization of deadline tasks. This approach solves a fairness issue with "traditional" global GRUB reclaiming: using the traditional GRUB algorithm, if tasks are allocated to the various cores in a non-uniform way, the reclaiming mechanism allows some tasks to reclaim more time than others. This issue is visible starting 11 time-consuming tasks with runtime 10ms and period 30ms (total utilization 3.666) on a 4-cores system: some tasks will receive much more than the reserved runtime (thanks to the reclaiming mechanism), while other tasks will receive less than the reserved runtime.

2017-06-08sched/deadline: Track the active utilizationLuca Abeni
Active utilization is defined as the total utilization of active (TASK_RUNNING) tasks queued on a runqueue. Hence, it is increased when a task wakes up and is decreased when a task blocks. When a task is migrated from CPUi to CPUj, immediately subtract the task's utilization from CPUi and add it to CPUj. This mechanism is implemented by modifying the pull and push functions. Note: this is not fully correct from the theoretical point of view (the utilization should be removed from CPUi only at the 0 lag time), a more theoretically sound solution is presented in the next patches.

2017-06-08sched/core: Implement new approach to scale select_idle_cpu()Peter Zijlstra
Hackbench recently suffered a bunch of pain, first by commit: 4c77b18cf8b7 ("sched/fair: Make select_idle_cpu() more aggressive") and then by commit: c743f0a5c50f ("sched/fair, cpumask: Export for_each_cpu_wrap()") which fixed a bug in the initial for_each_cpu_wrap() implementation that made select_idle_cpu() even more expensive. The bug was that it would skip over CPUs when bits were consequtive in the bitmask. This however gave me an idea to fix select_idle_cpu(); where the old scheme was a cliff-edge throttle on idle scanning, this introduces a more gradual approach. Instead of stopping to scan entirely, we limit how many CPUs we scan. Initial benchmarks show that it mostly recovers hackbench while not hurting anything else, except Mason's schbench, but not as bad as the old thing. It also appears to recover the tbench high-end, which also suffered like hackbench.

2017-05-23sched/core: Enable might_sleep() and smp_processor_id() checks earlyThomas Gleixner
might_sleep() and smp_processor_id() checks are enabled after the boot process is done. That hides bugs in the SMP bringup and driver initialization code. Enable it right when the scheduler starts working, i.e. when init task and kthreadd have been created and right before the idle task enables preemption.

2017-05-23init: Introduce SYSTEM_SCHEDULING stateThomas Gleixner
might_sleep() debugging and smp_processor_id() debugging should be active right after the scheduler starts working. The init task can invoke smp_processor_id() from preemptible context as it is pinned on the boot cpu until sched_smp_init() removes the pinning and lets it schedule on all non isolated cpus. Add a new state which allows to enable those checks earlier and add it to the xen do_poweroff() function. No functional change.

2017-05-23init: Pin init task to the boot CPU, initiallyThomas Gleixner
Some of the boot code in init_kernel_freeable() which runs before SMP bringup assumes (rightfully) that it runs on the boot CPU and therefore can use smp_processor_id() in preemptible context. That works so far because the smp_processor_id() check starts to be effective after smp bringup. That's just wrong. Starting with SMP bringup and the ability to move threads around, smp_processor_id() in preemptible context is broken. Aside of that it does not make sense to allow init to run on all CPUs before sched_smp_init() has been run. Pin the init to the boot CPU so the existing code can continue to use smp_processor_id() without triggering the checks when the enabling of those checks starts earlier.

2017-05-23sched/numa: Use down_read_trylock() for the mmap_semVlastimil Babka
A customer has reported a soft-lockup when running an intensive memory stress test, where the trace on multiple CPU's looks like this: RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff810c53fe>] [<ffffffff810c53fe>] native_queued_spin_lock_slowpath+0x10e/0x190 ... Call Trace: [<ffffffff81182d07>] queued_spin_lock_slowpath+0x7/0xa [<ffffffff811bc331>] change_protection_range+0x3b1/0x930 [<ffffffff811d4be8>] change_prot_numa+0x18/0x30 [<ffffffff810adefe>] task_numa_work+0x1fe/0x310 [<ffffffff81098322>] task_work_run+0x72/0x90 Further investigation showed that the lock contention here is pmd_lock(). The task_numa_work() function makes sure that only one thread is let to perform the work in a single scan period (via cmpxchg), but if there's a thread with mmap_sem locked for writing for several periods, multiple threads in task_numa_work() can build up a convoy waiting for mmap_sem for read and then all get unblocked at once. This patch changes the down_read() to the trylock version, which prevents the build up. For a workload experiencing mmap_sem contention, it's probably better to postpone the NUMA balancing work anyway. This seems to have fixed the soft lockups involving pmd_lock(), which is in line with the convoy theory.

On a large, busy system, the cumulative time it takes to acquire each lock can be excessive, even triggering a watchdog timeout.

2017-05-23sched/core: Allow __sched_setscheduler() in interrupts when PI is not usedSteven Rostedt (VMware)
When priority inheritance was added back in 2.6.18 to sched_setscheduler(), it added a path to taking an rt-mutex wait_lock, which is not IRQ safe. As PI is not a common occurrence, lockdep will likely never trigger if sched_setscheduler was called from interrupt context. A BUG_ON() was added to trigger if __sched_setscheduler() was ever called from interrupt context because there was a possibility to take the wait_lock. Today the wait_lock is irq safe, but the path to taking it in sched_setscheduler() is the same as the path to taking it from normal context. The wait_lock is taken with raw_spin_lock_irq() and released with raw_spin_unlock_irq() which will indiscriminately enable interrupts, which would be bad in interrupt context. The problem is that normalize_rt_tasks, which is called by triggering the sysrq nice-all-RT-tasks was changed to call __sched_setscheduler(), and this is done from interrupt context! Now __sched_setscheduler() takes a "pi" parameter that is used to know if the priority inheritance should be called or not. As the BUG_ON() only cares about calling the PI code, it should only bug if called from interrupt context with the "pi" parameter set to true.

2017-05-23llist: Provide a safe version for llist_for_each()Byungchul Park
Sometimes we have to dereference next field of llist node before entering loop becasue the node might be deleted or the next field might be modified within the loop. So this adds the safe version of llist_for_each(), that is, llist_for_each_safe().

2017-05-23smp, cpumask: Use non-atomic cpumask_{set,clear}_cpu()Peter Zijlstra
The cpumasks in smp_call_function_many() are private and not subject to concurrency, atomic bitops are pointless and expensive.

2017-05-23smp: Avoid sending needless IPI in smp_call_function_many()Aaron Lu
Inter-Processor-Interrupt(IPI) is needed when a page is unmapped and the process' mm_cpumask() shows the process has ever run on other CPUs. page migration, page reclaim all need IPIs. The number of IPI needed to send to different CPUs is especially large for multi-threaded workload since mm_cpumask() is per process. For smp_call_function_many(), whenever a CPU queues a CSD to a target CPU, it will send an IPI to let the target CPU to handle the work. This isn't necessary - we need only send IPI when queueing a CSD to an empty call_single_queue. The reason: flush_smp_call_function_queue() that is called upon a CPU receiving an IPI will empty the queue and then handle all of the CSDs there. So if the target CPU's call_single_queue is not empty, we know that: i. An IPI for the target CPU has already been sent by 'previous queuers'; ii. flush_smp_call_function_queue() hasn't emptied that CPU's queue yet. Thus, it's safe for us to just queue our CSD there without sending an addtional IPI. And for the 'previous queuers', we can limit it to the first queuer. To demonstrate the effect of this patch, a multi-thread workload that spawns 80 threads to equally consume 100G memory is used. This is tested on a 2 node broadwell-EP which has 44cores/88threads and 32G memory. So after 32G memory is used up, page reclaiming starts to happen a lot. With this patch, IPI number dropped 88% and throughput increased about 15% for the above workload.
