2011-03-23ftrace: Fix memory leak with function graph and cpu hotplugSteven Rostedt
commit 868baf07b1a259f5f3803c1dc2777b6c358f83cf upstream. When the fuction graph tracer starts, it needs to make a special stack for each task to save the real return values of the tasks. All running tasks have this stack created, as well as any new tasks. On CPU hot plug, the new idle task will allocate a stack as well when init_idle() is called. The problem is that cpu hotplug does not create a new idle_task. Instead it uses the idle task that existed when the cpu went down. ftrace_graph_init_task() will add a new ret_stack to the task that is given to it. Because a clone will make the task have a stack of its parent it does not check if the task's ret_stack is already NULL or not. When the CPU hotplug code starts a CPU up again, it will allocate a new stack even though one already existed for it. The solution is to treat the idle_task specially. In fact, the function_graph code already does, just not at init_idle(). Instead of using the ftrace_graph_init_task() for the idle task, which that function expects the task to be a clone, have a separate ftrace_graph_init_idle_task(). Also, we will create a per_cpu ret_stack that is used by the idle task. When we call ftrace_graph_init_idle_task() it will check if the idle task's ret_stack is NULL, if it is, then it will assign it the per_cpu ret_stack.

Commit: e51fd5e22e12b39f49b1bb60b37b300b17378a43 upstream 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.

2011-02-17sched: Use group weight, idle cpu metrics to fix imbalances during idleSuresh Siddha
Commit: aae6d3ddd8b90f5b2c8d79a2b914d1706d124193 upstream Currently we consider a sched domain to be well balanced when the imbalance is less than the domain's imablance_pct. As the number of cores and threads are increasing, current values of imbalance_pct (for example 25% for a NUMA domain) are not enough to detect imbalances like: a) On a WSM-EP system (two sockets, each having 6 cores and 12 logical threads), 24 cpu-hogging tasks get scheduled as 13 on one socket and 11 on another socket. Leading to an idle HT cpu. b) On a hypothetial 2 socket NHM-EX system (each socket having 8 cores and 16 logical threads), 16 cpu-hogging tasks can get scheduled as 9 on one socket and 7 on another socket. Leaving one core in a socket idle whereas in another socket we have a core having both its HT siblings busy. While this issue can be fixed by decreasing the domain's imbalance_pct (by making it a function of number of logical cpus in the domain), it can potentially cause more task migrations across sched groups in an overloaded case. Fix this by using imbalance_pct only during newly_idle and busy load balancing. And during idle load balancing, check if there is an imbalance in number of idle cpu's across the busiest and this sched_group or if the busiest group has more tasks than its weight that the idle cpu in this_group can pull.

2011-02-17sched: Call tick_check_idle before __irq_enterVenkatesh Pallipadi
Commit: d267f87fb8179c6dba03d08b91952e81bc3723c7 upstream When CPU is idle and on first interrupt, irq_enter calls tick_check_idle() to notify interruption from idle. But, there is a problem if this call is done after __irq_enter, as all routines in __irq_enter may find stale time due to yet to be done tick_check_idle. Specifically, trace calls in __irq_enter when they use global clock and also account_system_vtime change in this patch as it wants to use sched_clock_cpu() to do proper irq timing. But, tick_check_idle was moved after __irq_enter intentionally to prevent problem of unneeded ksoftirqd wakeups by the commit ee5f80a: irq: call __irq_enter() before calling the tick_idle_check Impact: avoid spurious ksoftirqd wakeups Moving tick_check_idle() before __irq_enter and wrapping it with local_bh_enable/disable would solve both the problems.

This patch removes irq time from CPU power piggybacking on sched_rt_avg_update(). Tested this by keeping CPU X busy with a network intensive task having 75% oa a single CPU irq processing (hard+soft) on a 4-way system. And start seven cycle soakers on the system. Without this change, there will be two tasks on each CPU. With this change, there is a single task on irq busy CPU X and remaining 7 tasks are spread around among other 3 CPUs.

2011-02-17sched: Do not account irq time to current taskVenkatesh Pallipadi
Commit: 305e6835e05513406fa12820e40e4a8ecb63743c upstream Scheduler accounts both softirq and interrupt processing times to the currently running task. This means, if the interrupt processing was for some other task in the system, then the current task ends up being penalized as it gets shorter runtime than otherwise. Change sched task accounting to acoount only actual task time from currently running task. Now update_curr(), modifies the delta_exec to depend on rq->clock_task. Note that this change only handles CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING case. We can extend this to CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING with minimal effort. But, thats for later. This change will impact scheduling behavior in interrupt heavy conditions. Tested on a 4-way system with eth0 handled by CPU 2 and a network heavy task (nc) running on CPU 3 (and no RSS/RFS). With that I have CPU 2 spending 75%+ of its time in irq processing. CPU 3 spending around 35% time running nc task. Now, if I run another CPU intensive task on CPU 2, without this change /proc/<pid>/schedstat shows 100% of time accounted to this task. With this change, it rightly shows less than 25% accounted to this task as remaining time is actually spent on irq processing.

2011-02-17sched: Add IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING, finer accounting of irq timeVenkatesh Pallipadi
Commit: b52bfee445d315549d41eacf2fa7c156e7d153d5 upstream s390/powerpc/ia64 have support for CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING which does the fine granularity accounting of user, system, hardirq, softirq times. Adding that option on archs like x86 will be challenging however, given the state of TSC reliability on various platforms and also the overhead it will add in syscall entry exit. Instead, add a lighter variant that only does finer accounting of hardirq and softirq times, providing precise irq times (instead of timer tick based samples). This accounting is added with a new config option CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING so that there won't be any overhead for users not interested in paying the perf penalty. This accounting is based on sched_clock, with the code being generic. So, other archs may find it useful as well. This patch just adds the core logic and does not enable this logic yet.

2011-02-17sched: Fix softirq time accountingVenkatesh Pallipadi
Commit: 75e1056f5c57050415b64cb761a3acc35d91f013 upstream Peter Zijlstra found a bug in the way softirq time is accounted in VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING on this thread: http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail//linux/kernel/1009.2/01366.html The problem is, softirq processing uses local_bh_disable internally. There is no way, later in the flow, to differentiate between whether softirq is being processed or is it just that bh has been disabled. So, a hardirq when bh is disabled results in time being wrongly accounted as softirq. Looking at the code a bit more, the problem exists in !VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING as well. As account_system_time() in normal tick based accouting also uses softirq_count, which will be set even when not in softirq with bh disabled. Peter also suggested solution of using 2*SOFTIRQ_OFFSET as irq count for local_bh_{disable,enable} and using just SOFTIRQ_OFFSET while softirq processing. The patch below does that and adds API in_serving_softirq() which returns whether we are currently processing softirq or not. Also changes one of the usages of softirq_count in net/sched/cls_cgroup.c to in_serving_softirq. Looks like many usages of in_softirq really want in_serving_softirq. Those changes can be made individually on a case by case basis.

2011-02-17sched: Drop group_capacity to 1 only if local group has extra capacityNikhil Rao
Commit: 75dd321d79d495a0ee579e6249ebc38ddbb2667f upstream When SD_PREFER_SIBLING is set on a sched domain, drop group_capacity to 1 only if the local group has extra capacity. The extra check prevents the case where you always pull from the heaviest group when it is already under-utilized (possible with a large weight task outweighs the tasks on the system). For example, consider a 16-cpu quad-core quad-socket machine with MC and NUMA scheduling domains. Let's say we spawn 15 nice0 tasks and one nice-15 task, and each task is running on one core. In this case, we observe the following events when balancing at the NUMA domain: - find_busiest_group() will always pick the sched group containing the niced task to be the busiest group. - find_busiest_queue() will then always pick one of the cpus running the nice0 task (never picks the cpu with the nice -15 task since weighted_cpuload > imbalance). - The load balancer fails to migrate the task since it is the running task and increments sd->nr_balance_failed. - It repeats the above steps a few more times until sd->nr_balance_failed > 5, at which point it kicks off the active load balancer, wakes up the migration thread and kicks the nice 0 task off the cpu. The load balancer doesn't stop until we kick out all nice 0 tasks from the sched group, leaving you with 3 idle cpus and one cpu running the nice -15 task. When balancing at the NUMA domain, we drop sgs.group_capacity to 1 if the child domain (in this case MC) has SD_PREFER_SIBLING set. Subsequent load checks are not relevant because the niced task has a very large weight. In this patch, we add an extra condition to the "if(prefer_sibling)" check in update_sd_lb_stats(). We drop the capacity of a group only if the local group has extra capacity, ie. nr_running < group_capacity. This patch preserves the original intent of the prefer_siblings check (to spread tasks across the system in low utilization scenarios) and fixes the case above. It helps in the following ways: - In low utilization cases (where nr_tasks << nr_cpus), we still drop group_capacity down to 1 if we prefer siblings. - On very busy systems (where nr_tasks >> nr_cpus), sgs.nr_running will most likely be > sgs.group_capacity. - When balancing large weight tasks, if the local group does not have extra capacity, we do not pick the group with the niced task as the busiest group. This prevents failed balances, active migration and the under-utilization described above.

2011-02-17sched: Force balancing on newidle balance if local group has capacityNikhil Rao
Commit: fab476228ba37907ad75216d0fd9732ada9c119e upstream This patch forces a load balance on a newly idle cpu when the local group has extra capacity and the busiest group does not have any. It improves system utilization when balancing tasks with a large weight differential. Under certain situations, such as a niced down task (i.e. nice = -15) in the presence of nr_cpus NICE0 tasks, the niced task lands on a sched group and kicks away other tasks because of its large weight. This leads to sub-optimal utilization of the machine. Even though the sched group has capacity, it does not pull tasks because sds.this_load >> sds.max_load, and f_b_g() returns NULL. With this patch, if the local group has extra capacity, we shortcut the checks in f_b_g() and try to pull a task over. A sched group has extra capacity if the group capacity is greater than the number of running tasks in that group.

The cgroup_subsys_state structures referenced by idle tasks are never freed, because the idle tasks should be part of the root cgroup, which is not removable. The problem is that while we do in-fact hold rq->lock, the newly spawned idle thread's cpu is not yet set to the correct cpu so the lockdep check in task_group(): lockdep_is_held(&task_rq(p)->lock) will fail. But this is a chicken and egg problem. Setting the CPU's runqueue requires that the CPU's runqueue already be set. ;-) So insert an RCU read-side critical section to avoid the complaint.

2011-02-17sched: Increment cache_nice_tries only on periodic lbVenkatesh Pallipadi
Commit: 58b26c4c025778c09c7a1438ff185080e11b7d0a upstream scheduler uses cache_nice_tries as an indicator to do cache_hot and active load balance, when normal load balance fails. Currently, this value is changed on any failed load balance attempt. That ends up being not so nice to workloads that enter/exit idle often, as they do more frequent new_idle balance and that pretty soon results in cache hot tasks being pulled in. Making the cache_nice_tries ignore failed new_idle balance seems to make better sense. With that only the failed load balance in periodic load balance gets accounted and the rate of accumulation of cache_nice_tries will not depend on idle entry/exit (short running sleep-wakeup kind of tasks). This reduces movement of cache_hot tasks. schedstat diff (after-before) excerpt from a workload that has frequent and short wakeup-idle pattern (:2 in cpu col below refers to NEWIDLE idx) This snapshot was across ~400 seconds.

2010-09-20sched: cpuacct: Use bigger percpu counter batch values for stats countersAnton Blanchard
commit fa535a77bd3fa32b9215ba375d6a202fe73e1dd6 upstream When CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING and CONFIG_CGROUP_CPUACCT are enabled we can call cpuacct_update_stats with values much larger than percpu_counter_batch. This means the call to percpu_counter_add will always add to the global count which is protected by a spinlock and we end up with a global spinlock in the scheduler. Based on an idea by KOSAKI Motohiro, this patch scales the batch value by cputime_one_jiffy such that we have the same batch limit as we would if CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING was disabled. His patch did this once at boot but that initialisation happened too early on PowerPC (before time_init) and it was never updated at runtime as a result of a hotplug cpu add/remove. This patch instead scales percpu_counter_batch by cputime_one_jiffy at runtime, which keeps the batch correct even after cpu hotplug operations. We cap it at INT_MAX in case of overflow. For architectures that do not support CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING, cputime_one_jiffy is the constant 1 and gcc is smart enough to optimise min(s32 percpu_counter_batch, INT_MAX) to just percpu_counter_batch at least on x86 and PowerPC. So there is no need to add an #ifdef. On a 64 thread PowerPC box with CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING and CONFIG_CGROUP_CPUACCT enabled, a context switch microbenchmark is 234x faster and almost matches a CONFIG_CGROUP_CPUACCT disabled kernel: CONFIG_CGROUP_CPUACCT disabled: 16906698 ctx switches/sec CONFIG_CGROUP_CPUACCT enabled: 61720 ctx switches/sec CONFIG_CGROUP_CPUACCT + patch: 16663217 ctx switches/sec Tested with: wget http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/context_switch.c make context_switch for i in `seq 0 63`; do taskset -c $i ./context_switch & done vmstat 1 Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Reviewed-by: KOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@jp.fujitsu.com> Acked-by: Balbir Singh <balbir@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Tested-by: Balbir Singh <balbir@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

2010-09-20sched: Fix TASK_WAKING vs fork deadlockPeter Zijlstra
commit 0017d735092844118bef006696a750a0e4ef6ebd upstream Oleg noticed a few races with the TASK_WAKING usage on fork. - since TASK_WAKING is basically a spinlock, it should be IRQ safe - since we set TASK_WAKING (*) without holding rq->lock it could be there still is a rq->lock holder, thereby not actually providing full serialization. (*) in fact we clear PF_STARTING, which in effect enables TASK_WAKING. Cure the second issue by not setting TASK_WAKING in sched_fork(), but only temporarily in wake_up_new_task() while calling select_task_rq(). Cure the first by holding rq->lock around the select_task_rq() call, this will disable IRQs, this however requires that we push down the rq->lock release into select_task_rq_fair()'s cgroup stuff. Because select_task_rq_fair() still needs to drop the rq->lock we cannot fully get rid of TASK_WAKING.

commit 9084bb8246ea935b98320554229e2f371f7f52fa upstream Introduce cpuset_cpus_allowed_fallback() helper to fix the cpuset problems with select_fallback_rq(). It can be called from any context and can't use any cpuset locks including task_lock(). It is called when the task doesn't have online cpus in ->cpus_allowed but ttwu/etc must be able to find a suitable cpu. I am not proud of this patch. Everything which needs such a fat comment can't be good even if correct. But I'd prefer to not change the locking rules in the code I hardly understand, and in any case I believe this simple change make the code much more correct compared to deadlocks we currently have.

commit 6a1bdc1b577ebcb65f6603c57f8347309bc4ab13 upstream _cpu_down() changes the current task's affinity and then recovers it at the end. The problems are well known: we can't restore old_allowed if it was bound to the now-dead-cpu, and we can race with the userspace which can change cpu-affinity during unplug. _cpu_down() should not play with current->cpus_allowed at all.

commit 30da688ef6b76e01969b00608202fff1eed2accc upstream. sched_exec()->select_task_rq() reads/updates ->cpus_allowed lockless. This can race with other CPUs updating our ->cpus_allowed, and this looks meaningless to me. The task is current and running, it must have online cpus in ->cpus_allowed, the fallback mode is bogus. And, if ->sched_class returns the "wrong" cpu, this likely means we raced with set_cpus_allowed() which was called for reason, why should sched_exec() retry and call ->select_task_rq() again? Change the code to call sched_class->select_task_rq() directly and do nothing if the returned cpu is wrong after re-checking under rq->lock. From now task_struct->cpus_allowed is always stable under TASK_WAKING, select_fallback_rq() is always called under rq-lock or the caller or the caller owns TASK_WAKING (select_task_rq).

commit 1445c08d06c5594895b4fae952ef8a457e89c390 upstream move_task_off_dead_cpu()->select_fallback_rq() reads/updates ->cpus_allowed lockless. We can race with set_cpus_allowed() running in parallel. Change it to take rq->lock around select_fallback_rq(). Note that it is not trivial to move this spin_lock() into select_fallback_rq(), we must recheck the task was not migrated after we take the lock and other callers do not need this lock. To avoid the races with other callers of select_fallback_rq() which rely on TASK_WAKING, we also check p->state != TASK_WAKING and do nothing otherwise. The owner of TASK_WAKING must update ->cpus_allowed and choose the correct CPU anyway, and the subsequent __migrate_task() is just meaningless because p->se.on_rq must be false. Alternatively, we could change select_task_rq() to take rq->lock right after it calls sched_class->select_task_rq(), but this looks a bit ugly. Also, change it to not assume irqs are disabled and absorb __migrate_task_irq().

2010-09-20sched: Kill the broken and deadlockable ↵Oleg Nesterov
cpuset_lock/cpuset_cpus_allowed_locked code commit 897f0b3c3ff40b443c84e271bef19bd6ae885195 upstream This patch just states the fact the cpusets/cpuhotplug interaction is broken and removes the deadlockable code which only pretends to work. - cpuset_lock() doesn't really work. It is needed for cpuset_cpus_allowed_locked() but we can't take this lock in try_to_wake_up()->select_fallback_rq() path. - cpuset_lock() is deadlockable. Suppose that a task T bound to CPU takes callback_mutex. If cpu_down(CPU) happens before T drops callback_mutex stop_machine() preempts T, then migration_call(CPU_DEAD) tries to take cpuset_lock() and hangs forever because CPU is already dead and thus T can't be scheduled. - cpuset_cpus_allowed_locked() is deadlockable too. It takes task_lock() which is not irq-safe, but try_to_wake_up() can be called from irq. Kill them, and change select_fallback_rq() to use cpu_possible_mask, like we currently do without CONFIG_CPUSETS. Also, with or without this patch, with or without CONFIG_CPUSETS, the callers of select_fallback_rq() can race with each other or with set_cpus_allowed() pathes.

commit 60db48cacb9b253d5607a5ff206112a59cd09e34 upstream rtmutex_set_prio() is used to implement priority inheritance for futexes. When a task is deboosted it gets enqueued at the tail of its RT priority list. This is violating the POSIX scheduling semantics: rt priority list X contains two runnable tasks A and B task A runs with priority X and holds mutex M task C preempts A and is blocked on mutex M -> task A is boosted to priority of task C (Y) task A unlocks the mutex M and deboosts itself -> A is dequeued from rt priority list Y -> A is enqueued to the tail of rt priority list X task C schedules away task B runs This is wrong as task A did not schedule away and therefor violates the POSIX scheduling semantics.

2010-09-20sched: Remove the cfs_rq dependency from set_task_cpu()Peter Zijlstra
commit 88ec22d3edb72b261f8628226cd543589a6d5e1b upstream 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.
