This did not take into account that drivers such as net/packet/af_packet.c may insert compound pages into userspace with vm_insert_page. This patch tells the NUMA balancing protection scanner to skip all VM_MIXEDMAP mappings which avoids the possibility that compound pages are marked for migration.

sched: always use blk_schedule_flush_plug in io_schedule_out

2015-05-18T22:06:41Z

block plug callback could sleep, so we introduce a parameter 'from_schedule' and corresponding drivers can use it to destinguish a schedule plug flush or a plug finish. Unfortunately io_schedule_out still uses blk_flush_plug(). This causes below output (Note, I added a might_sleep() in raid1_unplug to make it trigger faster, but the whole thing doesn't matter if I add might_sleep). In raid1/10, this can cause deadlock. This patch makes io_schedule_out always uses blk_schedule_flush_plug. This should only impact drivers (as far as I know, raid 1/10) which are sensitive to the 'from_schedule' parameter.

sched/core: Fix regression in cpuset_cpu_inactive() for suspend

2015-05-08T09:53:56Z

Commit 3c18d447b3b3 ("sched/core: Check for available DL bandwidth in cpuset_cpu_inactive()"), a SCHED_DEADLINE bugfix, had a logic error that caused a regression in setting a CPU inactive during suspend. I ran into this when a program was failing pthread_setaffinity_np() with EINVAL after a suspend+wake up. A simple reproducer: $ ./a.out sched_setaffinity: Success $ systemctl suspend $ ./a.out sched_setaffinity: Invalid argument ... where ./a.out is: #define _GNU_SOURCE #include #include #include #include #include #include int main(void) { long num_cores; cpu_set_t cpu_set; int ret; num_cores = sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN); CPU_ZERO(&cpu_set); CPU_SET(num_cores - 1, &cpu_set); errno = 0; ret = sched_setaffinity(getpid(), sizeof(cpu_set), &cpu_set); perror("sched_setaffinity"); return ret ? EXIT_FAILURE : EXIT_SUCCESS; } The mistake is that suspend is handled in the action == CPU_DOWN_PREPARE_FROZEN case of the switch statement in cpuset_cpu_inactive(). However, the commit in question masked out CPU_TASKS_FROZEN from the action, making this case dead. The fix is straightforward.

sched: Handle priority boosted tasks proper in setscheduler()

2015-05-08T09:53:55Z

Ronny reported that the following scenario is not handled correctly: T1 (prio = 10) lock(rtmutex); T2 (prio = 20) lock(rtmutex) boost T1 T1 (prio = 20) sys_set_scheduler(prio = 30) T1 prio = 30 .... sys_set_scheduler(prio = 10) T1 prio = 30 The last step is wrong as T1 should now be back at prio 20. Commit c365c292d059 ("sched: Consider pi boosting in setscheduler()") only handles the case where a boosted tasks tries to lower its priority. Fix it by taking the new effective priority into account for the decision whether a change of the priority is required.

cpuidle: Run tick_broadcast_exit() with disabled interrupts

2015-04-29T13:19:21Z

Commit 335f49196fd6 (sched/idle: Use explicit broadcast oneshot control function) replaced clockevents_notify() invocations in cpuidle_idle_call() with direct calls to tick_broadcast_enter() and tick_broadcast_exit(), but it overlooked the fact that interrupts were already enabled before calling the latter which led to functional breakage on systems using idle states with the CPUIDLE_FLAG_TIMER_STOP flag set. Fix that by moving the invocations of tick_broadcast_enter() and tick_broadcast_exit() down into cpuidle_enter_state() where interrupts are still disabled when tick_broadcast_exit() is called. Also ensure that interrupts will be disabled before running tick_broadcast_exit() even if they have been enabled by the idle state's ->enter callback. Trigger a WARN_ON_ONCE() in that case, as we generally don't want that to happen for states with CPUIDLE_FLAG_TIMER_STOP set.

x86: pvclock: Really remove the sched notifier for cross-cpu migrations

2015-04-27T13:49:30Z

This reverts commits 0a4e6be9ca17c54817cf814b4b5aa60478c6df27 and 80f7fdb1c7f0f9266421f823964fd1962681f6ce. The task migration notifier was originally introduced in order to support the pvclock vsyscall with non-synchronized TSC, but KVM only supports it with synchronized TSC. Hence, on KVM the race condition is only needed due to a bad implementation on the host side, and even then it's so rare that it's mostly theoretical. As far as KVM is concerned it's possible to fix the host, avoiding the additional complexity in the vDSO and the (re)introduction of the task migration notifier. Xen, on the other hand, hasn't yet implemented vsyscall support at all, so we do not care about its plans for non-synchronized TSC.
