2014-07-28sched: Fix sched_setparam() policy == -1 logicDaniel Bristot de Oliveira
The scheduler uses policy == -1 to preserve the current policy state to implement sched_setparam(). But, as (int) -1 is equals to 0xffffffff, it's matching the if (policy & SCHED_RESET_ON_FORK) on _sched_setscheduler(). This match changes the policy value to an invalid value, breaking the sched_setparam() syscall. This patch checks policy == -1 before check the SCHED_RESET_ON_FORK flag. The following program shows the bug: int main(void) { struct sched_param param = { .sched_priority = 5, }; sched_setscheduler(0, SCHED_FIFO, &param); param.sched_priority = 1; sched_setparam(0, &param); param.sched_priority = 0; sched_getparam(0, &param); if (param.sched_priority != 1) printf("failed priority setting (found %d instead of 1)\n", param.sched_priority); else printf("priority setting fine\n"); } Signed-off-by: Daniel Bristot de Oliveira <bristot@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Reviewed-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> # 3.14+ Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Fixes: 7479f3c9cf67 "sched: Move SCHED_RESET_ON_FORK into attr::sched_flags" Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/9ebe0566a08dbbb3999759d3f20d6004bb2dbcfa.1406079891.git.bristot@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

2014-07-16sched: Allow wait_on_bit_action() functions to support a timeoutNeilBrown
It is currently not possible for various wait_on_bit functions to implement a timeout. While the "action" function that is called to do the waiting could certainly use schedule_timeout(), there is no way to carry forward the remaining timeout after a false wake-up. As false-wakeups a clearly possible at least due to possible hash collisions in bit_waitqueue(), this is a real problem. The 'action' function is currently passed a pointer to the word containing the bit being waited on. No current action functions use this pointer. So changing it to something else will be a little noisy but will have no immediate effect. This patch changes the 'action' function to take a pointer to the "struct wait_bit_key", which contains a pointer to the word containing the bit so nothing is really lost. It also adds a 'private' field to "struct wait_bit_key", which is initialized to zero. An action function can now implement a timeout with something like static int timed_out_waiter(struct wait_bit_key *key) { unsigned long waited; if (key->private == 0) { key->private = jiffies; if (key->private == 0) key->private -= 1; } waited = jiffies - key->private; if (waited > 10 * HZ) return -EAGAIN; schedule_timeout(waited - 10 * HZ); return 0; } If any other need for context in a waiter were found it would be easy to use ->private for some other purpose, or even extend "struct wait_bit_key". My particular need is to support timeouts in nfs_release_page() to avoid deadlocks with loopback mounted NFS. While wait_on_bit_timeout() would be a cleaner interface, it will not meet my need. I need the timeout to be sensitive to the state of the connection with the server, which could change. So I need to use an 'action' interface.

2014-07-16sched: Remove proliferation of wait_on_bit() action functionsNeilBrown
The current "wait_on_bit" interface requires an 'action' function to be provided which does the actual waiting. There are over 20 such functions, many of them identical. Most cases can be satisfied by one of just two functions, one which uses io_schedule() and one which just uses schedule(). So: Rename wait_on_bit and wait_on_bit_lock to wait_on_bit_action and wait_on_bit_lock_action to make it explicit that they need an action function. Introduce new wait_on_bit{,_lock} and wait_on_bit{,_lock}_io which are *not* given an action function but implicitly use a standard one. The decision to error-out if a signal is pending is now made based on the 'mode' argument rather than being encoded in the action function. All instances of the old wait_on_bit and wait_on_bit_lock which can use the new version have been changed accordingly and their action functions have been discarded. wait_on_bit{_lock} does not return any specific error code in the event of a signal so the caller must check for non-zero and interpolate their own error code as appropriate. The wait_on_bit() call in __fscache_wait_on_invalidate() was ambiguous as it specified TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE but used fscache_wait_bit_interruptible as an action function. David Howells confirms this should be uniformly "uninterruptible" The main remaining user of wait_on_bit{,_lock}_action is NFS which needs to use a freezer-aware schedule() call. A comment in fs/gfs2/glock.c notes that having multiple 'action' functions is useful as they display differently in the 'wchan' field of 'ps'. (and /proc/$PID/wchan). As the new bit_wait{,_io} functions are tagged "__sched", they will not show up at all, but something higher in the stack. So the distinction will still be visible, only with different function names (gds2_glock_wait versus gfs2_glock_dq_wait in the gfs2/glock.c case). Since first version of this patch (against 3.15) two new action functions appeared, on in NFS and one in CIFS. CIFS also now uses an action function that makes the same freezer aware schedule call as NFS.

2014-07-15cgroup: rename cgroup_subsys->base_cftypes to ->legacy_cftypesTejun Heo
Currently, cgroup_subsys->base_cftypes is used for both the unified default hierarchy and legacy ones and subsystems can mark each file with either CFTYPE_ONLY_ON_DFL or CFTYPE_INSANE if it has to appear only on one of them. This is quite hairy and error-prone. Also, we may end up exposing interface files to the default hierarchy without thinking it through. cgroup_subsys will grow two separate cftype arrays and apply each only on the hierarchies of the matching type. This will allow organizing cftypes in a lot clearer way and encourage subsystems to scrutinize the interface which is being exposed in the new default hierarchy. In preparation, this patch renames cgroup_subsys->base_cftypes to cgroup_subsys->legacy_cftypes. This patch is pure rename.

2014-07-05sched/fair: Disable runtime_enabled on dying rqKirill Tkhai
We kill rq->rd on the CPU_DOWN_PREPARE stage: cpuset_cpu_inactive -> cpuset_update_active_cpus -> partition_sched_domains -> -> cpu_attach_domain -> rq_attach_root -> set_rq_offline This unthrottles all throttled cfs_rqs. But the cpu is still able to call schedule() till take_cpu_down->__cpu_disable() is called from stop_machine. This case the tasks from just unthrottled cfs_rqs are pickable in a standard scheduler way, and they are picked by dying cpu. The cfs_rqs becomes throttled again, and migrate_tasks() in migration_call skips their tasks (one more unthrottle in migrate_tasks()->CPU_DYING does not happen, because rq->rd is already NULL). Patch sets runtime_enabled to zero. This guarantees, the runtime is not accounted, and the cfs_rqs won't exceed given cfs_rq->runtime_remaining = 1, and tasks will be pickable in migrate_tasks(). runtime_enabled is recalculated again when rq becomes online again. Ben Segall also noticed, we always enable runtime in tg_set_cfs_bandwidth(). Actually, we should do that for online cpus only. To prevent races with unthrottle_offline_cfs_rqs() we take get_online_cpus() lock.

2014-07-05sched/numa: Change scan period code to match intentRik van Riel
Reading through the scan period code and comment, it appears the intent was to slow down NUMA scanning when a majority of accesses are on the local node, specifically a local:remote ratio of 3:1. However, the code actually tests local / (local + remote), and the actual cut-off point was around 30% local accesses, well before a task has actually converged on a node. Changing the threshold to 7 means scanning slows down when a task has around 70% of its accesses local, which appears to match the intent of the code more closely.

2014-07-05sched/numa: Examine a task move when examining a task swapRik van Riel
Running "perf bench numa mem -0 -m -P 1000 -p 8 -t 20" on a 4 node system results in 160 runnable threads on a system with 80 CPU threads. Once a process has nearly converged, with 39 threads on one node and 1 thread on another node, the remaining thread will be unable to migrate to its preferred node through a task swap. However, a simple task move would make the workload converge, witout causing an imbalance. Test for this unlikely occurrence, and attempt a task move to the preferred nid when it happens. # Running main, "perf bench numa mem -p 8 -t 20 -0 -m -P 1000" ### # 160 tasks will execute (on 4 nodes, 80 CPUs): # -1x 0MB global shared mem operations # -1x 1000MB process shared mem operations # -1x 0MB thread local mem operations ### ### # # 0.0% [0.2 mins] 0/0 1/1 36/2 0/0 [36/3 ] l: 0-0 ( 0) {0-2} # 0.0% [0.3 mins] 43/3 37/2 39/2 41/3 [ 6/10] l: 0-1 ( 1) {1-2} # 0.0% [0.4 mins] 42/3 38/2 40/2 40/2 [ 4/9 ] l: 1-2 ( 1) [50.0%] {1-2} # 0.0% [0.6 mins] 41/3 39/2 40/2 40/2 [ 2/9 ] l: 2-4 ( 2) [50.0%] {1-2} # 0.0% [0.7 mins] 40/2 40/2 40/2 40/2 [ 0/8 ] l: 3-5 ( 2) [40.0%] ( 41.8s converged) Without this patch, this same perf bench numa mem run had to rely on the scheduler load balancer to first balance out the load (moving a random task), before a task swap could complete the NUMA convergence. The load balancer does not normally take action unless the load difference exceeds 25%. Convergence times of over half an hour have been observed without this patch. With this patch, the NUMA balancing code will simply migrate the task, if that does not cause an imbalance. Also skip examining a CPU in detail if the improvement on that CPU is no more than the best we already have.

2014-07-05sched/numa: Use effective_load() to balance NUMA loadsRik van Riel
When CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED is enabled, the load that a task places on a CPU is determined by the group the task is in. The active groups on the source and destination CPU can be different, resulting in a different load contribution by the same task at its source and at its destination. As a result, the load needs to be calculated separately for each CPU, instead of estimated once with task_h_load(). Getting this calculation right allows some workloads to converge, where previously the last thread could get stuck on another node, without being able to migrate to its final destination.

2014-07-05sched/numa: Move power adjustment into load_too_imbalanced()Rik van Riel
Currently the NUMA code scales the load on each node with the amount of CPU power available on that node, but it does not apply any adjustment to the load of the task that is being moved over. On systems with SMT/HT, this results in a task being weighed much more heavily than a CPU core, and a task move that would even out the load between nodes being disallowed. The correct thing is to apply the power correction to the numbers after we have first applied the move of the tasks' loads to them. This also allows us to do the power correction with a multiplication, rather than a division. Also drop two function arguments for load_too_unbalanced, since it takes various factors from env already.

From task_numa_placement, always try to consolidate the tasks in a group on the group's top nid. In case this task is part of a group that is interleaved over multiple nodes, task_numa_migrate will set the task's preferred nid to the best node it could find for the task, so this patch will cause at most one run through task_numa_migrate.

2014-07-05sched/fair: Implement fast idling of CPUs when the system is partially loadedTim Chen
When a system is lightly loaded (i.e. no more than 1 job per cpu), attempt to pull job to a cpu before putting it to idle is unnecessary and can be skipped. This patch adds an indicator so the scheduler can know when there's no more than 1 active job is on any CPU in the system to skip needless job pulls. On a 4 socket machine with a request/response kind of workload from clients, we saw about 0.13 msec delay when we go through a full load balance to try pull job from all the other cpus. While 0.1 msec was spent on processing the request and generating a response, the 0.13 msec load balance overhead was actually more than the actual work being done. This overhead can be skipped much of the time for lightly loaded systems. With this patch, we tested with a netperf request/response workload that has the server busy with half the cpus in a 4 socket system. We found the patch eliminated 75% of the load balance attempts before idling a cpu. The overhead of setting/clearing the indicator is low as we already gather the necessary info while we call add_nr_running() and update_sd_lb_stats.() We switch to full load balance load immediately if any cpu got more than one job on its run queue in add_nr_running. We'll clear the indicator to avoid load balance when we detect no cpu's have more than one job when we scan the work queues in update_sg_lb_stats(). We are aggressive in turning on the load balance and opportunistic in skipping the load balance.

2014-07-05sched: Fix potential near-infinite distribute_cfs_runtime() loopBen Segall
distribute_cfs_runtime() intentionally only hands out enough runtime to bring each cfs_rq to 1 ns of runtime, expecting the cfs_rqs to then take the runtime they need only once they actually get to run. However, if they get to run sufficiently quickly, the period timer is still in distribute_cfs_runtime() and no runtime is available, causing them to throttle. Then distribute has to handle them again, and this can go on until distribute has handed out all of the runtime 1ns at a time, which takes far too long. Instead allow access to the same runtime that distribute is handing out, accepting that corner cases with very low quota may be able to spend the entire cfs_b->runtime during distribute_cfs_runtime, meaning that the runtime directly handed out by distribute_cfs_runtime was over quota. In addition, if a cfs_rq does manage to throttle like this, make sure the existing distribute_cfs_runtime no longer loops over it again.

2014-06-23rcu: Reduce overhead of cond_resched() checks for RCUPaul E. McKenney
Commit ac1bea85781e (Make cond_resched() report RCU quiescent states) fixed a problem where a CPU looping in the kernel with but one runnable task would give RCU CPU stall warnings, even if the in-kernel loop contained cond_resched() calls. Unfortunately, in so doing, it introduced performance regressions in Anton Blanchard's will-it-scale "open1" test. The problem appears to be not so much the increased cond_resched() path length as an increase in the rate at which grace periods complete, which increased per-update grace-period overhead. This commit takes a different approach to fixing this bug, mainly by moving the RCU-visible quiescent state from cond_resched() to rcu_note_context_switch(), and by further reducing the check to a simple non-zero test of a single per-CPU variable. However, this approach requires that the force-quiescent-state processing send resched IPIs to the offending CPUs. These will be sent only once the grace period has reached an age specified by the boot/sysfs parameter rcutree.jiffies_till_sched_qs, or once the grace period reaches an age halfway to the point at which RCU CPU stall warnings will be emitted, whichever comes first.

2014-06-18sched/numa: Ensure task_numa_migrate() checks the preferred nodeRik van Riel
The first thing task_numa_migrate() does is check to see if there is CPU capacity available on the preferred node, in order to move the task there. However, if the preferred node is all busy, we would skip considering that node for tasks swaps in the subsequent loop. This prevents NUMA convergence of tasks on busy systems. However, swapping locations with a task on our preferred nid, when the preferred nid is busy, is perfectly fine. The fix is to also look for a CPU on our preferred nid when it is totally busy. This changes "perf bench numa mem -p 4 -t 20 -m -0 -P 1000" from not converging in 15 minutes on my 4 node system, to converging in 10-20 seconds.

2014-06-16nohz: Use IPI implicit full barrier against rq->nr_running r/wFrederic Weisbecker
A full dynticks CPU is allowed to stop its tick when a single task runs. Meanwhile when a new task gets enqueued, the CPU must be notified so that it can restart its tick to maintain local fairness and other accounting details. This notification is performed by way of an IPI. Then when the target receives the IPI, we expect it to see the new value of rq->nr_running. Hence the following ordering scenario: CPU 0 CPU 1 write rq->running get IPI smp_wmb() smp_rmb() send IPI read rq->nr_running But Paul Mckenney says that nowadays IPIs imply a full barrier on all architectures. So we can safely remove this pair and rely on the implicit barriers that come along IPI send/receive. Lets just comment on this new assumption.

2014-06-16nohz: Switch to nohz full remote kick on timer enqueueFrederic Weisbecker
When a new timer is enqueued on a full dynticks target, that CPU must re-evaluate the next tick to handle the timer correctly. This is currently performed through the scheduler IPI. Meanwhile this happens at the cost of off-topic workarounds in that fast path to make it call irq_exit(). As we plan to remove this hack off the scheduler IPI, lets use the nohz full kick instead. Pretty much any IPI fits for that job as long at it calls irq_exit(). The nohz full kick just happens to be handy and readily available here. If it happens to be too much an overkill in the future, we can still turn that timer kick into an empty IPI.

[ This series reduces the number of IPIs on Andy's workload by something like 99%. It's down from many hundreds per second to very few. The basic idea behind this series is to make TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG be a reliable indication that the idle task is polling. Once that's done, the rest is reasonably straightforward. ] When enqueueing tasks on remote LLC domains, we send an IPI to do the work 'locally' and avoid bouncing all the cachelines over. However, when the remote CPU is idle (and polling, say x86 mwait), we don't need to send an IPI, we can simply kick the TIF word to wake it up and have the 'idle' loop do the work. So when _TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG is set, but _TIF_NEED_RESCHED is not (yet) set, set _TIF_NEED_RESCHED and avoid sending the IPI.
