rq->rd is freed using call_rcu_sched(), so rcu_read_lock() to access it is not enough. We should use either rcu_read_lock_sched() or preempt_disable(). Reported-by:

Since commit caeb178c ("sched/fair: Make update_sd_pick_busiest() ...") sd_pick_busiest returns a group that can be neither imbalanced nor overloaded but is only more loaded than others. This change has been introduced to ensure a better load balance in system that are not overloaded but as a side effect, it can also generate useless active migration between groups. Let take the example of 3 tasks on a quad cores system. We will always have an idle core so the load balance will find a busiest group (core) whenever an ILB is triggered and it will force an active migration (once above nr_balance_failed threshold) so the idle core becomes busy but another core will become idle. With the next ILB, the freshly idle core will try to pull the task of a busy CPU. The number of spurious active migration is not so huge in quad core system because the ILB is not triggered so much. But it becomes significant as soon as you have more than one sched_domain level like on a dual cluster of quad cores where the ILB is triggered every tick when you have more than 1 busy_cpu We need to ensure that the migration generate a real improveùent and will not only move the avg_load imbalance on another CPU. Before caeb178c, the filtering of such use case was ensured by the following test in f_b_g: if ((local->idle_cpus < busiest->idle_cpus) && busiest->sum_nr_running <= busiest->group_weight) This patch modified the condition to take into account situation where busiest group is not overloaded: If the diff between the number of idle cpus in 2 groups is less than or equal to 1 and the busiest group is not overloaded, moving a task will not improve the load balance but just move it. A test with sysbench on a dual clusters of quad cores gives the following results: command: sysbench --test=cpu --num-threads=5 --max-time=5 run The HZ is 200 which means that 1000 ticks has fired during the test. With Mainline, perf gives the following figures: Samples: 727 of event 'sched:sched_migrate_task' Event count (approx.): 727 Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol ........ ............... ............. .............. 12.52% migration/1 [unknown] [.] 00000000 12.52% migration/5 [unknown] [.] 00000000 12.52% migration/7 [unknown] [.] 00000000 12.10% migration/6 [unknown] [.] 00000000 11.83% migration/0 [unknown] [.] 00000000 11.83% migration/3 [unknown] [.] 00000000 11.14% migration/4 [unknown] [.] 00000000 10.87% migration/2 [unknown] [.] 00000000 2.75% sysbench [unknown] [.] 00000000 0.83% swapper [unknown] [.] 00000000 0.55% ktps65090charge [unknown] [.] 00000000 0.41% mmcqd/1 [unknown] [.] 00000000 0.14% perf [unknown] [.] 00000000 With this patch, perf gives the following figures Samples: 20 of event 'sched:sched_migrate_task' Event count (approx.): 20 Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol ........ ............... ............. .............. 80.00% sysbench [unknown] [.] 00000000 10.00% swapper [unknown] [.] 00000000 5.00% ktps65090charge [unknown] [.] 00000000 5.00% migration/1 [unknown] [.] 00000000 Signed-off-by:

Commit: cebf15eb ("x86, sched: Add new topology for multi-NUMA-node CPUs") some code to try to detect the situation where we have a NUMA node inside of the "DIE" sched domain. It detected this by looking for cpus which match_die() but do not match NUMA nodes via topology_same_node(). I wrote it up as: if (match_die(c, o) == !topology_same_node(c, o)) which actually seemed to work some of the time, albiet accidentally. It should have been doing an &&, not an ==. This code essentially chopped off the "DIE" domain on one of Andrew Morton's systems. He reported that this patch fixed his issue. Signed-off-by:

I'm getting the spew below when booting with Haswell (Xeon E5-2699 v3) CPUs and the "Cluster-on-Die" (CoD) feature enabled in the BIOS. It seems similar to the issue that some folks from AMD ran in to on their systems and addressed in this commit: 161270fc ("x86/smp: Fix topology checks on AMD MCM CPUs") Both these Intel and AMD systems break an assumption which is being enforced by topology_sane(): a socket may not contain more than one NUMA node. AMD special-cased their system by looking for a cpuid flag. The Intel mode is dependent on BIOS options and I do not know of a way which it is enumerated other than the tables being parsed during the CPU bringup process. In other words, we have to trust the ACPI tables <shudder>. This detects the situation where a NUMA node occurs at a place in the middle of the "CPU" sched domains. It replaces the default topology with one that relies on the NUMA information from the firmware (SRAT table) for all levels of sched domains above the hyperthreads. This also fixes a sysfs bug. We used to freak out when we saw the "mc" group cross a node boundary, so we stopped building the MC group. MC gets exported as the 'core_siblings_list' in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/topology/ and this caused CPUs with the same 'physical_package_id' to not be listed together in 'core_siblings_list'. This violates a statement from Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-devices-system-cpu: core_siblings: internal kernel map of cpu#'s hardware threads within the same physical_package_id. core_siblings_list: human-readable list of the logical CPU numbers within the same physical_package_id as cpu#. The sysfs effects here cause an issue with the hwloc tool where it gets confused and thinks there are more sockets than are physically present. Before this patch, there are two packages: # cd /sys/devices/system/cpu/ # cat cpu*/topology/physical_package_id | sort | uniq -c 18 0 18 1 But 4 _sets_ of core siblings: # cat cpu*/topology/core_siblings_list | sort | uniq -c 9 0-8 9 18-26 9 27-35 9 9-17 After this set, there are only 2 sets of core siblings, which is what we expect for a 2-socket system. # cat cpu*/topology/physical_package_id | sort | uniq -c 18 0 18 1 # cat cpu*/topology/core_siblings_list | sort | uniq -c 18 0-17 18 18-35 Example spew: ...

The code in find_idlest_cpu() looks for the CPU with the smallest load. However, if multiple CPUs are idle, the first idle CPU is selected irrespective of the depth of its idle state. Among the idle CPUs we should pick the one with with the shallowest idle state, or the latest to have gone idle if all idle CPUs are in the same state. The later applies even when cpuidle is configured out. This patch doesn't cover the following issues: - The idle exit latency of a CPU might be larger than the time needed to migrate the waking task to an already running CPU with sufficient capacity, and therefore performance would benefit from task packing in such case (in most cases task packing is about power saving). - Some idle states have a non negligible and non abortable entry latency which needs to run to completion before the exit latency can start. A concurrent patch series is making this info available to the cpuidle core. Once available, the entry latency with the idle timestamp could determine when the exit latency may be effective. Those issues will be handled in due course. In the mean time, what is implemented here should improve things already compared to the current state of affairs.

When the cpu enters idle, it stores the cpuidle state pointer in its struct rq instance which in turn could be used to make a better decision when balancing tasks. As soon as the cpu exits its idle state, the struct rq reference is cleared. There are a couple of situations where the idle state pointer could be changed while it is being consulted: 1. For x86/acpi with dynamic c-states, when a laptop switches from battery to AC that could result on removing the deeper idle state. The acpi driver triggers: 'acpi_processor_cst_has_changed' 'cpuidle_pause_and_lock' 'cpuidle_uninstall_idle_handler' 'kick_all_cpus_sync'. All cpus will exit their idle state and the pointed object will be set to NULL. 2. The cpuidle driver is unloaded. Logically that could happen but not in practice because the drivers are always compiled in and 95% of them are not coded to unregister themselves. In any case, the unloading code must call 'cpuidle_unregister_device', that calls 'cpuidle_pause_and_lock' leading to 'kick_all_cpus_sync' as mentioned above. A race can happen if we use the pointer and then one of these two scenarios occurs at the same moment. In order to be safe, the idle state pointer stored in the rq must be used inside a rcu_read_lock section where we are protected with the 'rcu_barrier' in the 'cpuidle_uninstall_idle_handler' function. The idle_get_state() and idle_put_state() accessors should be used to that effect. Signed-off-by:

Users can perform clustered scheduling using the cpuset facility. After an exclusive cpuset is created, task migrations happen only between CPUs belonging to the same cpuset. Inter- cpuset migrations can only happen when the user requires so, moving a task between different cpusets. This behaviour is broken in SCHED_DEADLINE, as currently spurious inter- cpuset migration may happen without user intervention. This patch fix the problem (and shuffles the code a bit to improve clarity). Signed-off-by:

When a task is using SCHED_DEADLINE and the user setschedules it to a different class its sched_dl_entity static parameters are not cleaned up. This causes a bug if the user sets it back to SCHED_DEADLINE with the same parameters again. The problem resides in the check we perform at the very beginning of dl_overflow(): if (new_bw == p->dl.dl_bw) return 0; This condition is met in the case depicted above, so the function returns and dl_b->total_bw is not updated (the p->dl.dl_bw is not added to it). After this, admission control is broken. This patch fixes the thing, properly clearing static parameters for a task that ceases to use SCHED_DEADLINE. Reported-by:

Currently the task always wakes affine on this_cpu if the latter is idle. Before waking up the task on this_cpu, we check that this_cpu capacity is not significantly reduced because of RT tasks or irq activity. Use case where the number of irq and/or the time spent under irq is important will take benefit of this because the task that is woken up by irq or softirq will not use the same CPU than irq (and softirq) but a idle one.

'capacity_orig' is only changed for systems with an SMT sched_domain level in order to reflect the lower capacity of CPUs. Heterogenous systems also have to reflect an original capacity that is different from the default value. Create a more generic function arch_scale_cpu_capacity that can be also used by non SMT platforms to set capacity_orig. The __weak implementation of arch_scale_cpu_capacity() is the previous SMT variant, in order to keep backward compatibility with the use of capacity_orig. arch_scale_smt_capacity() and default_scale_smt_capacity() have been removed as they were not used elsewhere than in arch_scale_cpu_capacity().

In wake_affine() I have tried to understand the meaning of the condition: (this_load <= load && this_load + target_load(prev_cpu, idx) <= tl_per_task) but I failed to find a use case that can take advantage of it and I haven't found clear description in the previous commit's log. Futhermore, the comment of the condition refers to the task_hot function that was used before being replaced by the current condition: /* * This domain has SD_WAKE_AFFINE and * p is cache cold in this domain, and * there is no bad imbalance. */ If we look more deeply the below condition: this_load + target_load(prev_cpu, idx) <= tl_per_task When sync is clear, we have: tl_per_task = runnable_load_avg / nr_running this_load = max(runnable_load_avg, cpuload[idx]) target_load = max(runnable_load_avg', cpuload'[idx]) It implies that runnable_load_avg == 0 and nr_running <= 1 in order to match the condition. This implies that runnable_load_avg == 0 too because of the condition: this_load <= load. but if this _load is null, 'balanced' is already set and the test is redundant. If sync is set, it's not as straight forward as above (especially if cgroup are involved) but the policy should be similar as we have removed a task that's going to sleep in order to get a more accurate load and this_load values. The current conclusion is that these additional condition don't give any benefit so we can remove them. Signed-off-by:

The imbalance flag can stay set whereas there is no imbalance. Let assume that we have 3 tasks that run on a dual cores /dual cluster system. We will have some idle load balance which are triggered during tick. Unfortunately, the tick is also used to queue background work so we can reach the situation where short work has been queued on a CPU which already runs a task. The load balance will detect this imbalance (2 tasks on 1 CPU and an idle CPU) and will try to pull the waiting task on the idle CPU. The waiting task is a worker thread that is pinned on a CPU so an imbalance due to pinned task is detected and the imbalance flag is set. Then, we will not be able to clear the flag because we have at most 1 task on each CPU but the imbalance flag will trig to useless active load balance between the idle CPU and the busy CPU. We need to reset of the imbalance flag as soon as we have reached a balanced state. If all tasks are pinned, we don't consider that as a balanced state and let the imbalance flag set. Signed-off-by:

Currently in the event of a stack overrun a call to schedule() does not check for this type of corruption. This corruption is often silent and can go unnoticed. However once the corrupted region is examined at a later stage, the outcome is undefined and often results in a sporadic page fault which cannot be handled. This patch checks for a stack overrun and takes appropriate action since the damage is already done, there is no point in continuing. Signed-off-by:

The sig->stats_lock nests inside the tasklist_lock and the sighand->siglock in __exit_signal and wait_task_zombie. However, both of those locks can be taken from irq context, which means we need to use the interrupt safe variant of read_seqbegin_or_lock. This blocks interrupts when the "lock" branch is taken (seq is odd), preventing the lock inversion. On the first (lockless) pass through the loop, irqs are not blocked. Reported-by:
