Kthreads that have called kthread_bind() are bound to specific cpus, so other tasks should not be able to change their cpus_allowed from under them. Otherwise, it is possible to move kthreads, such as the migration or software watchdog threads, so they are not allowed access to the cpu they work on.

kernel/cpu.c seems a more logical place for those maps since they do not really have much to do with the scheduler these days. kernel/cpu.c is now built for the UP kernel too, but it does not affect the size the kernel sections. $ size vmlinux before text data bss dec hex filename 3313797 307060 310352 3931209 3bfc49 vmlinux after text data bss dec hex filename 3313797 307060 310352 3931209 3bfc49 vmlinux Signed-off-by: Max Krasnyansky <maxk@qualcomm.com> Cc: pj@sgi.com Cc: menage@google.com Cc: rostedt@goodmis.org Cc: mingo@elte.hu Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

First issue is not related to the cpusets. We're simply leaking doms_cur. It's allocated in arch_init_sched_domains() which is called for every hotplug event. So we just keep reallocation doms_cur without freeing it. I introduced free_sched_domains() function that cleans things up. Second issue is that sched domains created by the cpusets are completely destroyed by the CPU hotplug events. For all CPU hotplug events scheduler attaches all CPUs to the NULL domain and then puts them all into the single domain thereby destroying domains created by the cpusets (partition_sched_domains). The solution is simple, when cpusets are enabled scheduler should not create default domain and instead let cpusets do that. Which is exactly what the patch does.

The RT folks over at RedHat found an issue w.r.t. hotplug support which was traced to problems with the cpupri infrastructure in the scheduler: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=449676 This bug affects 23-rt12+, 24-rtX, 25-rtX, and sched-devel. This patch applies to 25.4-rt4, though it should trivially apply to most cpupri enabled kernels mentioned above. It turned out that the issue was that offline cpus could get inadvertently registered with cpupri so that they were erroneously selected during migration decisions. The end result would be an OOPS as the offline cpu had tasks routed to it. This patch generalizes the old join/leave domain interface into an online/offline interface, and adjusts the root-domain/hotplug code to utilize it. I was able to easily reproduce the issue prior to this patch, and am no longer able to reproduce it after this patch. I can offline cpus indefinately and everything seems to be in working order. Thanks to Arnaldo (acme), Thomas, and Peter for doing the legwork to point me in the right direction. Also thank you to Peter for reviewing the early iterations of this patch.

For the normal WARN_ON() etc we added a print-the-modules-list already, which is very useful to figure out candidates for certain types of bugs. This patch adds the same print to the "scheduling while atomic" BUG warning, for the same reason: when we get here it's very useful to see which modules are loaded, to narrow down the candidate code list.

Dmitry Adamushko pointed out a known flaw in the rt-balancing algorithm that could allow suboptimal balancing if a non-migratable task gets queued behind a running migratable one. It is discussed in this thread: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/4/22/296 This issue has been further exacerbated by a recent checkin to sched-devel (git-id 5eee63a5ebc19a870ac40055c0be49457f3a89a3). >From a pure priority standpoint, the run-queue is doing the "right" thing. Using Dmitry's nomenclature, if T0 is on cpu1 first, and T1 wakes up at equal or lower priority (affined only to cpu1) later, it *should* wait for T0 to finish. However, in reality that is likely suboptimal from a system perspective if there are other cores that could allow T0 and T1 to run concurrently. Since T1 can not migrate, the only choice for higher concurrency is to try to move T0. This is not something we addessed in the recent rt-balancing re-work. This patch tries to enhance the balancing algorithm by accomodating this scenario. It accomplishes this by incorporating the migratability of a task into its priority calculation. Within a numerical tsk->prio, a non-migratable task is logically higher than a migratable one. We maintain this by introducing a new per-priority queue (xqueue, or exclusive-queue) for holding non-migratable tasks. The scheduler will draw from the xqueue over the standard shared-queue (squeue) when available. There are several details for utilizing this properly. 1) During task-wake-up, we not only need to check if the priority preempts the current task, but we also need to check for this non-migratable condition. Therefore, if a non-migratable task wakes up and sees an equal priority migratable task already running, it will attempt to preempt it *if* there is a likelyhood that the current task will find an immediate home. 2) Tasks only get this non-migratable "priority boost" on wake-up. Any requeuing will result in the non-migratable task being queued to the end of the shared queue. This is an attempt to prevent the system from being completely unfair to migratable tasks during things like SCHED_RR timeslicing. I am sure this patch introduces potentially "odd" behavior if you concoct a scenario where a bunch of non-migratable threads could starve migratable ones given the right pattern. I am not yet convinced that this is a problem since we are talking about tasks of equal RT priority anyway, and there never is much in the way of guarantees against starvation under that scenario anyway. (e.g. you could come up with a similar scenario with a specific timing environment verses an affinity environment). I can be convinced otherwise, but for now I think this is "ok".

ip_fast_csum() requires a memory clobber on its inline asm as it accesses memory in a fashion that gcc can't predict. The GCC manual says: If your assembler instructions access memory in an unpredictable fashion, add `memory' to the list of clobbered registers. This will cause GCC to not keep memory values cached in registers across the assembler instruction and not optimize stores or loads to that memory. The bug hasn't been noticed in FRV, but it has been seen in PA-RISC. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
