sched/topology: Fix overlapping sched_group_mask
The point of sched_group_mask is to select those CPUs from sched_group_cpus that can actually arrive at this balance domain. The current code gets it wrong, as can be readily demonstrated with a topology like: node 0 1 2 3 0: 10 20 30 20 1: 20 10 20 30 2: 30 20 10 20 3: 20 30 20 10 Where (for example) domain 1 on CPU1 ends up with a mask that includes CPU0: [] CPU1 attaching sched-domain: [] domain 0: span 0-2 level NUMA [] groups: 1 (mask: 1), 2, 0 [] domain 1: span 0-3 level NUMA [] groups: 0-2 (mask: 0-2) (cpu_capacity: 3072), 0,2-3 (cpu_capacity: 3072) This causes sched_balance_cpu() to compute the wrong CPU and consequently should_we_balance() will terminate early resulting in missed load-balance opportunities. The fixed topology looks like: [] CPU1 attaching sched-domain: [] domain 0: span 0-2 level NUMA [] groups: 1 (mask: 1), 2, 0 [] domain 1: span 0-3 level NUMA [] groups: 0-2 (mask: 1) (cpu_capacity: 3072), 0,2-3 (cpu_capacity: 3072) (note: this relies on OVERLAP domains to always have children, this is true because the regular topology domains are still here -- this is before degenerate trimming) Debugged-by: Lauro Ramos Venancio <lvenanci@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Fixes: e3589f6c81e4 ("sched: Allow for overlapping sched_domain spans") Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
