sched: Cure nr_iowait_cpu() users

2010-07-01T07:39:48Z

Commit 0224cf4c5e (sched: Intoduce get_cpu_iowait_time_us()) broke things by not making sure preemption was indeed disabled by the callers of nr_iowait_cpu() which took the iowait value of the current cpu. This resulted in a heap of preempt warnings. Cure this by making nr_iowait_cpu() take a cpu number and fix up the callers to pass in the right number.

sched: Prevent compiler from optimising the sched_avg_update() loop

2010-06-25T14:11:50Z

GCC 4.4.1 on ARM has been observed to replace the while loop in sched_avg_update with a call to uldivmod, resulting in the following build failure at link-time: kernel/built-in.o: In function `sched_avg_update': kernel/sched.c:1261: undefined reference to `__aeabi_uldivmod' kernel/sched.c:1261: undefined reference to `__aeabi_uldivmod' make: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1 This patch introduces a fake data hazard to the loop body to prevent the compiler optimising the loop away.

sched: silence PROVE_RCU in sched_fork()

2010-06-23T22:14:09Z

Because cgroup_fork() is ran before sched_fork() [ from copy_process() ] and the child's pid is not yet visible the child is pinned to its cgroup. Therefore we can silence this warning. A nicer solution would be moving cgroup_fork() to right after dup_task_struct() and exclude PF_STARTING from task_subsys_state().

sched: Fix over-scheduling bug

2010-06-18T08:45:25Z

Commit e70971591 ("sched: Optimize unused cgroup configuration") introduced an imbalanced scheduling bug. If we do not use CGROUP, function update_h_load won't update h_load. When the system has a large number of tasks far more than logical CPU number, the incorrect cfs_rq[cpu]->h_load value will cause load_balance() to pull too many tasks to the local CPU from the busiest CPU. So the busiest CPU keeps going in a round robin. That will hurt performance. The issue was found originally by a scientific calculation workload that developed by Yanmin. With that commit, the workload performance drops about 40%.

sched: Fix PROVE_RCU vs cpu_cgroup

2010-06-08T16:44:04Z

PROVE_RCU has a few issues with the cpu_cgroup because the scheduler typically holds rq->lock around the css rcu derefs but the generic cgroup code doesn't (and can't) know about that lock. Provide means to add extra checks to the css dereference and use that in the scheduler to annotate its users. The addition of rq->lock to these checks is correct because the cgroup_subsys::attach() method takes the rq->lock for each task it moves, therefore by holding that lock, we ensure the task is pinned to the current cgroup and the RCU derefence is valid. That leaves one genuine race in __sched_setscheduler() where we used task_group() without holding any of the required locks and thus raced with the cgroup code. Solve this by moving the check under the appropriate lock. Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra Cc: "Paul E. McKenney" LKML-Reference: Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

sched: Fix wake_affine() vs RT tasks

2010-06-01T07:27:16Z

Mike reports that since e9e9250b (sched: Scale down cpu_power due to RT tasks), wake_affine() goes funny on RT tasks due to them still having a !0 weight and wake_affine() still subtracts that from the rq weight. Since nobody should be using se->weight for RT tasks, set the value to zero. Also, since we now use ->cpu_power to normalize rq weights to account for RT cpu usage, add that factor into the imbalance computation.
