      sched/fair: Fix and optimize the fork() path · e210bffd
      Peter Zijlstra authored 
      The task_fork_fair() callback already calls __set_task_cpu() and takes
rq->lock.

If we move the sched_class::task_fork callback in sched_fork() under
the existing p->pi_lock, right after its set_task_cpu() call, we can
avoid doing two such calls and omit the IRQ disabling on the rq->lock.

Change to __set_task_cpu() to skip the migration bits, this is a new
task, not a migration. Similarly, make wake_up_new_task() use
__set_task_cpu() for the same reason, the task hasn't actually
migrated as it hasn't ever ran.

This cures the problem of calling migrate_task_rq_fair(), which does
remove_entity_from_load_avg() on tasks that have never been added to
the load avg to begin with.

This bug would result in transiently messed up load_avg values, averaged
out after a few dozen milliseconds. This is probably the reason why
this bug was not found for such a long time.

      sched/fair: Fix calc_cfs_shares() fixed point arithmetics width confusion · ea1dc6fc
      Peter Zijlstra authored 
      Commit:

  fde7d22e ("sched/fair: Fix overly small weight for interactive group entities")

did something non-obvious but also did it buggy yet latent.

The problem was exposed for real by a later commit in the v4.7 merge window:

  2159197d ("sched/core: Enable increased load resolution on 64-bit kernels")

... after which tg->load_avg and cfs_rq->load.weight had different
units (10 bit fixed point and 20 bit fixed point resp.).

Add a comment to explain the use of cfs_rq->load.weight over the
'natural' cfs_rq->avg.load_avg and add scale_load_down() to correct
for the difference in unit.

Since this is (now, as per a previous commit) the only user of
calc_tg_weight(), collapse it.

The effects of this bug should be randomly inconsistent SMP-balancing
of cgroups workloads.

      sched/fair: Fix effective_load() to consistently use smoothed load · 7dd49125
      Peter Zijlstra authored 
      Starting with the following commit:

  fde7d22e ("sched/fair: Fix overly small weight for interactive group entities")

calc_tg_weight() doesn't compute the right value as expected by effective_load().

The difference is in the 'correction' term. In order to ensure \Sum
rw_j >= rw_i we cannot use tg->load_avg directly, since that might be
lagging a correction on the current cfs_rq->avg.load_avg value.
Therefore we use tg->load_avg - cfs_rq->tg_load_avg_contrib +
cfs_rq->avg.load_avg.

Now, per the referenced commit, calc_tg_weight() doesn't use
cfs_rq->avg.load_avg, as is later used in @w, but uses
cfs_rq->load.weight instead.

So stop using calc_tg_weight() and do it explicitly.

The effects of this bug are wake_affine() making randomly
poor choices in cgroup-intense workloads.

      Linus Torvalds authored 
      Pull SCSI fixes from James Bottomley:
 "Two straightforward fixes.

  One is a concurrency issue only affecting SAS connected SATA drives,
  but which could hang the storage subsystem if it triggers (because the
  outstanding command count on error never goes back to zero) and the
  other is a NO_TAG fallout from the switch to hostwide tags which
  causes the system to crash on module insertion (we've checked
  carefully and only the 53c700 family of drivers is vulnerable to this
  issue)"
