sched/core: Fix reset-on-fork from RT with uclamp

2020-04-22T21:10:13Z

uclamp_fork() resets the uclamp values to their default when the reset-on-fork flag is set. It also checks whether the task has a RT policy, and sets its uclamp.min to 1024 accordingly. However, during reset-on-fork, the task's policy is lowered to SCHED_NORMAL right after, hence leading to an erroneous uclamp.min setting for the new task if it was forked from RT. Fix this by removing the unnecessary check on rt_task() in uclamp_fork() as this doesn't make sense if the reset-on-fork flag is set.

workqueue: Remove the warning in wq_worker_sleeping()

2020-04-08T09:35:20Z

The kernel test robot triggered a warning with the following race: task-ctx A interrupt-ctx B worker -> process_one_work() -> work_item() -> schedule(); -> sched_submit_work() -> wq_worker_sleeping() -> ->sleeping = 1 atomic_dec_and_test(nr_running) __schedule(); *interrupt* async_page_fault() -> local_irq_enable(); -> schedule(); -> sched_submit_work() -> wq_worker_sleeping() -> if (WARN_ON(->sleeping)) return -> __schedule() -> sched_update_worker() -> wq_worker_running() -> atomic_inc(nr_running); -> ->sleeping = 0; -> sched_update_worker() -> wq_worker_running() if (!->sleeping) return In this context the warning is pointless everything is fine. An interrupt before wq_worker_sleeping() will perform the ->sleeping assignment (0 -> 1 > 0) twice. An interrupt after wq_worker_sleeping() will trigger the warning and nr_running will be decremented (by A) and incremented once (only by B, A will skip it). This is the case until the ->sleeping is zeroed again in wq_worker_running(). Remove the WARN statement because this condition may happen. Document that preemption around wq_worker_sleeping() needs to be disabled to protect ->sleeping and not just as an optimisation.

sched/fair: Align rq->avg_idle and rq->avg_scan_cost

2020-04-08T09:35:18Z

sched/core.c uses update_avg() for rq->avg_idle and sched/fair.c uses an open-coded version (with the exact same decay factor) for rq->avg_scan_cost. On top of that, select_idle_cpu() expects to be able to compare these two fields. The only difference between the two is that rq->avg_scan_cost is computed using a pure division rather than a shift. Turns out it actually matters, first of all because the shifted value can be negative, and the standard has this to say about it: """ The result of E1 >> E2 is E1 right-shifted E2 bit positions. [...] If E1 has a signed type and a negative value, the resulting value is implementation-defined. """ Not only this, but (arithmetic) right shifting a negative value (using 2's complement) is *not* equivalent to dividing it by the corresponding power of 2. Let's look at a few examples: -4 -> 0xF..FC -4 >> 3 -> 0xF..FF == -1 != -4 / 8 -8 -> 0xF..F8 -8 >> 3 -> 0xF..FF == -1 == -8 / 8 -9 -> 0xF..F7 -9 >> 3 -> 0xF..FE == -2 != -9 / 8 Make update_avg() use a division, and export it to the private scheduler header to reuse it where relevant. Note that this still lets compilers use a shift here, but should prevent any unwanted surprise. The disassembly of select_idle_cpu() remains unchanged on arm64, and ttwu_do_wakeup() gains 2 instructions; the diff sort of looks like this: - sub x1, x1, x0 + subs x1, x1, x0 // set condition codes + add x0, x1, #0x7 + csel x0, x0, x1, mi // x0 = x1 < 0 ? x0 : x1 add x0, x3, x0, asr #3 which does the right thing (i.e. gives us the expected result while still using an arithmetic shift) Signed-off-by: Valentin Schneider Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200330090127.16294-1-valentin.schneider@arm.com

psi: Fix cpu.pressure for cpu.max and competing cgroups

2020-03-20T12:06:18Z

For simplicity, cpu pressure is defined as having more than one runnable task on a given CPU. This works on the system-level, but it has limitations in a cgrouped reality: When cpu.max is in use, it doesn't capture the time in which a task is not executing on the CPU due to throttling. Likewise, it doesn't capture the time in which a competing cgroup is occupying the CPU - meaning it only reflects cgroup-internal competitive pressure, not outside pressure. Enable tracking of currently executing tasks, and then change the definition of cpu pressure in a cgroup from NR_RUNNING > 1 to NR_RUNNING > ON_CPU which will capture the effects of cpu.max as well as competition from outside the cgroup. After this patch, a cgroup running `stress -c 1` with a cpu.max setting of 5000 10000 shows ~50% continuous CPU pressure.

sched/core: Distribute tasks within affinity masks

2020-03-20T12:06:18Z

Currently, when updating the affinity of tasks via either cpusets.cpus, or, sched_setaffinity(); tasks not currently running within the newly specified mask will be arbitrarily assigned to the first CPU within the mask. This (particularly in the case that we are restricting masks) can result in many tasks being assigned to the first CPUs of their new masks. This: 1) Can induce scheduling delays while the load-balancer has a chance to spread them between their new CPUs. 2) Can antogonize a poor load-balancer behavior where it has a difficult time recognizing that a cross-socket imbalance has been forced by an affinity mask. This change adds a new cpumask interface to allow iterated calls to distribute within the intersection of the provided masks. The cases that this mainly affects are: - modifying cpuset.cpus - when tasks join a cpuset - when modifying a task's affinity via sched_setaffinity(2) Signed-off-by: Paul Turner Signed-off-by: Josh Don Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) Reviewed-by: Qais Yousef Tested-by: Qais Yousef Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200311010113.136465-1-joshdon@google.com

sched/fair: Enable tuning of decay period

2020-03-06T11:57:21Z

Thermal pressure follows pelt signals which means the decay period for thermal pressure is the default pelt decay period. Depending on SoC characteristics and thermal activity, it might be beneficial to decay thermal pressure slower, but still in-tune with the pelt signals. One way to achieve this is to provide a command line parameter to set a decay shift parameter to an integer between 0 and 10.
