sched/preempt: Fix cond_resched_lock() and cond_resched_softirq()

2015-10-27T00:51:58Z

commit fe32d3cd5e8eb0f82e459763374aa80797023403 upstream. These functions check should_resched() before unlocking spinlock/bh-enable: preempt_count always non-zero => should_resched() always returns false. cond_resched_lock() worked iff spin_needbreak is set. This patch adds argument "preempt_offset" to should_resched(). preempt_count offset constants for that: PREEMPT_DISABLE_OFFSET - offset after preempt_disable() PREEMPT_LOCK_OFFSET - offset after spin_lock() SOFTIRQ_DISABLE_OFFSET - offset after local_bh_distable() SOFTIRQ_LOCK_OFFSET - offset after spin_lock_bh() Signed-off-by: Konstantin Khlebnikov Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) Cc: Alexander Graf Cc: Boris Ostrovsky Cc: David Vrabel Cc: Linus Torvalds Cc: Mike Galbraith Cc: Paul Mackerras Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Thomas Gleixner Fixes: bdb438065890 ("sched: Extract the basic add/sub preempt_count modifiers") Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20150715095204.12246.98268.stgit@buzz Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Mike Galbraith Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

sched/fair: Prevent throttling in early pick_next_task_fair()

2015-10-22T21:43:20Z

commit 54d27365cae88fbcc853b391dcd561e71acb81fa upstream. The optimized task selection logic optimistically selects a new task to run without first doing a full put_prev_task(). This is so that we can avoid a put/set on the common ancestors of the old and new task. Similarly, we should only call check_cfs_rq_runtime() to throttle eligible groups if they're part of the common ancestry, otherwise it is possible to end up with no eligible task in the simple task selection. Imagine: /root /prev /next /A /B If our optimistic selection ends up throttling /next, we goto simple and our put_prev_task() ends up throttling /prev, after which we're going to bug out in set_next_entity() because there aren't any tasks left. Avoid this scenario by only throttling common ancestors.

sched/core: Fix TASK_DEAD race in finish_task_switch()

2015-10-22T21:43:14Z

commit 95913d97914f44db2b81271c2e2ebd4d2ac2df83 upstream. So the problem this patch is trying to address is as follows: CPU0 CPU1 context_switch(A, B) ttwu(A) LOCK A->pi_lock A->on_cpu == 0 finish_task_switch(A) prev_state = A->state <-. WMB | A->on_cpu = 0; | UNLOCK rq0->lock | | context_switch(C, A) `-- A->state = TASK_DEAD prev_state == TASK_DEAD put_task_struct(A) context_switch(A, C) finish_task_switch(A) A->state == TASK_DEAD put_task_struct(A) The argument being that the WMB will allow the load of A->state on CPU0 to cross over and observe CPU1's store of A->state, which will then result in a double-drop and use-after-free. Now the comment states (and this was true once upon a long time ago) that we need to observe A->state while holding rq->lock because that will order us against the wakeup; however the wakeup will not in fact acquire (that) rq->lock; it takes A->pi_lock these days. We can obviously fix this by upgrading the WMB to an MB, but that is expensive, so we'd rather avoid that. The alternative this patch takes is: smp_store_release(&A->on_cpu, 0), which avoids the MB on some archs, but not important ones like ARM.

sched: access local runqueue directly in single_task_running

2015-10-22T21:43:12Z

commit 00cc1633816de8c95f337608a1ea64e228faf771 upstream. Commit 2ee507c47293 ("sched: Add function single_task_running to let a task check if it is the only task running on a cpu") referenced the current runqueue with the smp_processor_id. When CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT is enabled, that is only allowed if preemption is disabled or the currrent task is bound to the local cpu (e.g. kernel worker). With commit f78195129963 ("kvm: add halt_poll_ns module parameter") KVM calls single_task_running. If CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT is enabled that generates a lot of kernel messages. To avoid adding preemption in that cases, as it would limit the usefulness, we change single_task_running to access directly the cpu local runqueue.

sched: Fix cpu_active_mask/cpu_online_mask race

2015-09-21T17:05:29Z

commit dd9d3843755da95f63dd3a376f62b3e45c011210 upstream. There is a race condition in SMP bootup code, which may result in WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1 at kernel/workqueue.c:4418 workqueue_cpu_up_callback() or kernel BUG at kernel/smpboot.c:135! It can be triggered with a bit of luck in Linux guests running on busy hosts. CPU0 CPUn ==== ==== _cpu_up() __cpu_up() start_secondary() set_cpu_online() cpumask_set_cpu(cpu, to_cpumask(cpu_online_bits)); cpu_notify(CPU_ONLINE) cpumask_set_cpu(cpu, to_cpumask(cpu_active_bits)); During the various CPU_ONLINE callbacks CPUn is online but not active. Several things can go wrong at that point, depending on the scheduling of tasks on CPU0. Variant 1: cpu_notify(CPU_ONLINE) workqueue_cpu_up_callback() rebind_workers() set_cpus_allowed_ptr() This call fails because it requires an active CPU; rebind_workers() ends with a warning: WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1 at kernel/workqueue.c:4418 workqueue_cpu_up_callback() Variant 2: cpu_notify(CPU_ONLINE) smpboot_thread_call() smpboot_unpark_threads() .. __kthread_unpark() __kthread_bind() wake_up_state() .. select_task_rq() select_fallback_rq() The ->wake_cpu of the unparked thread is not allowed, making a call to select_fallback_rq() necessary. Then, select_fallback_rq() cannot find an allowed, active CPU and promptly resets the allowed CPUs, so that the task in question ends up on CPU0. When those unparked tasks are eventually executed, they run immediately into a BUG: kernel BUG at kernel/smpboot.c:135! Just changing the order in which the online/active bits are set (and adding some memory barriers), would solve the two issues above. However, it would change the order of operations back to the one before commit 6acbfb96976f ("sched: Fix hotplug vs. set_cpus_allowed_ptr()"), thus, reintroducing that particular problem. Going further back into history, we have at least the following commits touching this topic: - commit 2baab4e90495 ("sched: Fix select_fallback_rq() vs cpu_active/cpu_online") - commit 5fbd036b552f ("sched: Cleanup cpu_active madness") Together, these give us the following non-working solutions: - secondary CPU sets active before online, because active is assumed to be a subset of online; - secondary CPU sets online before active, because the primary CPU assumes that an online CPU is also active; - secondary CPU sets online and waits for primary CPU to set active, because it might deadlock. Commit 875ebe940d77 ("powerpc/smp: Wait until secondaries are active & online") introduces an arch-specific solution to this arch-independent problem. Now, go for a more general solution without explicit waiting and simply set active twice: once on the secondary CPU after online was set and once on the primary CPU after online was seen. set_cpus_allowed_ptr()") Signed-off-by: Jan H.

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.
