2020-07-16sched/fair: handle case of task_h_load() returning 0Vincent Guittot
task_h_load() can return 0 in some situations like running stress-ng mmapfork, which forks thousands of threads, in a sched group on a 224 cores system. The load balance doesn't handle this correctly because env->imbalance never decreases and it will stop pulling tasks only after reaching loop_max, which can be equal to the number of running tasks of the cfs. Make sure that imbalance will be decreased by at least 1. misfit task is the other feature that doesn't handle correctly such situation although it's probably more difficult to face the problem because of the smaller number of CPUs and running tasks on heterogenous system. We can't simply ensure that task_h_load() returns at least one because it would imply to handle underflow in other places.

2020-06-28sched/cfs: change initial value of runnable_avgVincent Guittot
Some performance regression on reaim benchmark have been raised with commit 070f5e860ee2 ("sched/fair: Take into account runnable_avg to classify group") The problem comes from the init value of runnable_avg which is initialized with max value. This can be a problem if the newly forked task is finally a short task because the group of CPUs is wrongly set to overloaded and tasks are pulled less agressively. Set initial value of runnable_avg equals to util_avg to reflect that there is no waiting time so far.

The recent commit: 90b5363acd47 ("sched: Clean up scheduler_ipi()") got smp_call_function_single_async() subtly wrong. Even though it will return -EBUSY when trying to re-use a csd, that condition is not atomic and still requires external serialization. The change in kick_ilb() got this wrong. While on first reading kick_ilb() has an atomic test-and-set that appears to serialize the use, the matching 'release' is not in the right place to actually guarantee this serialization. Rework the nohz_idle_balance() trigger so that the release is in the IPI callback and thus guarantees the required serialization for the CSD.

2020-05-19sched/fair: Replace zero-length array with flexible-arrayGustavo A. R. Silva
The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2], introduced in C99: struct foo { int stuff; struct boo array[]; }; By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on. Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by this change: "Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1] sizeof(flexible-array-member) triggers a warning because flexible array members have incomplete type[1]. There are some instances of code in which the sizeof operator is being incorrectly/erroneously applied to zero-length arrays and the result is zero. Such instances may be hiding some bugs. So, this work (flexible-array member conversions) will also help to get completely rid of those sorts of issues. This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

sched/fair: Fix enqueue_task_fair warning some more The recent patch, fe61468b2cb (sched/fair: Fix enqueue_task_fair warning) did not fully resolve the issues with the rq->tmp_alone_branch != &rq->leaf_cfs_rq_list warning in enqueue_task_fair. There is a case where the first for_each_sched_entity loop exits due to on_rq, having incompletely updated the list. In this case the second for_each_sched_entity loop can further modify se. The later code to fix up the list management fails to do what is needed because se does not point to the sched_entity which broke out of the first loop. The list is not fixed up because the throttled parent was already added back to the list by a task enqueue in a parallel child hierarchy. Address this by calling list_add_leaf_cfs_rq if there are throttled parents while doing the second for_each_sched_entity loop.

The scheduler IPI has grown weird and wonderful over the years, time for spring cleaning. Move all the non-trivial stuff out of it and into a regular smp function call IPI. This then reduces the schedule_ipi() to most of it's former NOP glory and ensures to keep the interrupt vector lean and mean. Aside of that avoiding the full irq_enter() in the x86 IPI implementation is incorrect as scheduler_ipi() can be instrumented.

2020-04-30sched: Remove checks against SD_LOAD_BALANCEValentin Schneider
The SD_LOAD_BALANCE flag is set unconditionally for all domains in sd_init(). By making the sched_domain->flags syctl interface read-only, we have removed the last piece of code that could clear that flag - as such, it will now be always present. Rather than to keep carrying it along, we can work towards getting rid of it entirely. cpusets don't need it because they can make CPUs be attached to the NULL domain (e.g. cpuset with sched_load_balance=0), or to a partitioned root_domain, i.e. a sched_domain hierarchy that doesn't span the entire system (e.g. root cpuset with sched_load_balance=0 and sibling cpusets with sched_load_balance=1). isolcpus apply the same "trick": isolated CPUs are explicitly taken out of the sched_domain rebuild (using housekeeping_cpumask()), so they get the NULL domain treatment as well.

2020-04-30sched/fair: Remove distribute_running from CFS bandwidthJosh Don
This is mostly a revert of commit: baa9be4ffb55 ("sched/fair: Fix throttle_list starvation with low CFS quota") The primary use of distribute_running was to determine whether to add throttled entities to the head or the tail of the throttled list. Now that we always add to the tail, we can remove this field. The other use of distribute_running is in the slack_timer, so that we don't start a distribution while one is already running. However, even in the event that this race occurs, it is fine to have two distributions running (especially now that distribute grabs the cfs_b->lock to determine remaining quota before assigning).

2020-04-30sched/fair: Eliminate bandwidth race between throttling and distributionPaul Turner
There is a race window in which an entity begins throttling before quota is added to the pool, but does not finish throttling until after we have finished with distribute_cfs_runtime(). This entity is not observed by distribute_cfs_runtime() because it was not on the throttled list at the time that distribution was running. This race manifests as rare period-length statlls for such entities. Rather than heavy-weight the synchronization with the progress of distribution, we can fix this by aborting throttling if bandwidth has become available. Otherwise, we immediately add the entity to the throttled list so that it can be observed by a subsequent distribution. Additionally, we can remove the case of adding the throttled entity to the head of the throttled list, and simply always add to the tail. Thanks to 26a8b12747c97, distribute_cfs_runtime() no longer holds onto its own pool of runtime. This means that if we do hit the !assign and distribute_running case, we know that distribution is about to end.

Currently, there is a potential race between distribute_cfs_runtime() and assign_cfs_rq_runtime(). Race happens when cfs_b->runtime is read, distributes without holding lock and finds out there is not enough runtime to charge against after distribution. Because assign_cfs_rq_runtime() might be called during distribution, and use cfs_b->runtime at the same time. Fibtest is the tool to test this race. Assume all gcfs_rq is throttled and cfs period timer runs, slow threads might run and sleep, returning unused cfs_rq runtime and keeping min_cfs_rq_runtime in their local pool. If all this happens sufficiently quickly, cfs_b->runtime will drop a lot. If runtime distributed is large too, over-use of runtime happens. A runtime over-using by about 70 percent of quota is seen when we test fibtest on a 96-core machine. We run fibtest with 1 fast thread and 95 slow threads in test group, configure 10ms quota for this group and see the CPU usage of fibtest is 17.0%, which is far more than the expected 10%. On a smaller machine with 32 cores, we also run fibtest with 96 threads. CPU usage is more than 12%, which is also more than expected 10%. This shows that on similar workloads, this race do affect CPU bandwidth control. Solve this by holding lock inside distribute_cfs_runtime().

2020-04-08sched/fair: Align rq->avg_idle and rq->avg_scan_costValentin Schneider
sched/core.c uses update_avg() for rq->avg_idle and sched/fair.c uses an open-coded version (with the exact same decay factor) for rq->avg_scan_cost. On top of that, select_idle_cpu() expects to be able to compare these two fields. The only difference between the two is that rq->avg_scan_cost is computed using a pure division rather than a shift. Turns out it actually matters, first of all because the shifted value can be negative, and the standard has this to say about it: """ The result of E1 >> E2 is E1 right-shifted E2 bit positions. [...] If E1 has a signed type and a negative value, the resulting value is implementation-defined. """ Not only this, but (arithmetic) right shifting a negative value (using 2's complement) is *not* equivalent to dividing it by the corresponding power of 2. Let's look at a few examples: -4 -> 0xF..FC -4 >> 3 -> 0xF..FF == -1 != -4 / 8 -8 -> 0xF..F8 -8 >> 3 -> 0xF..FF == -1 == -8 / 8 -9 -> 0xF..F7 -9 >> 3 -> 0xF..FE == -2 != -9 / 8 Make update_avg() use a division, and export it to the private scheduler header to reuse it where relevant. Note that this still lets compilers use a shift here, but should prevent any unwanted surprise. The disassembly of select_idle_cpu() remains unchanged on arm64, and ttwu_do_wakeup() gains 2 instructions; the diff sort of looks like this: - sub x1, x1, x0 + subs x1, x1, x0 // set condition codes + add x0, x1, #0x7 + csel x0, x0, x1, mi // x0 = x1 < 0 ? x0 : x1 add x0, x3, x0, asr #3 which does the right thing (i.e. gives us the expected result while still using an arithmetic shift) Signed-off-by: Valentin Schneider <valentin.schneider@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200330090127.16294-1-valentin.schneider@arm.com

2020-03-20sched/fair: Improve spreading of utilizationVincent Guittot
During load_balancing, a group with spare capacity will try to pull some utilizations from an overloaded group. In such case, the load balance looks for the runqueue with the highest utilization. Nevertheless, it should also ensure that there are some pending tasks to pull otherwise the load balance will fail to pull a task and the spread of the load will be delayed. This situation is quite transient but it's possible to highlight the effect with a short run of sysbench test so the time to spread task impacts the global result significantly. Below are the average results for 15 iterations on an arm64 octo core: sysbench --test=cpu --num-threads=8 --max-requests=1000 run tip/sched/core +patchset total time: 172ms 158ms per-request statistics: avg: 1.337ms 1.244ms max: 21.191ms 10.753ms The average max doesn't fully reflect the wide spread of the value which ranges from 1.350ms to more than 41ms for the tip/sched/core and from 1.350ms to 21ms with the patch. Other factors like waiting for an idle load balance or cache hotness can delay the spreading of the tasks which explains why we can still have up to 21ms with the patch.

When a task is enqueued in this throttled branch, the cfs rqs must be added back in order to ensure correct ordering in the list but this can only happens if nr_running == 1. When cfs bandwidth is used, we call unconditionnaly list_add_leaf_cfs_rq() when enqueuing an entity to make sure that the complete branch will be added. Similarly unthrottle_cfs_rq() can stop adding cfs in the list when a parent is throttled. Iterate the remaining entity to ensure that the complete branch will be added in the list.

Even when a cgroup is throttled, the group se of a child cgroup can still be enqueued and its gse->on_rq stays true. When a task is enqueued on such child, we still have to update the load_avg and increase h_nr_running of the throttled cfs. Nevertheless, the 1st for_each_sched_entity() loop is skipped because of gse->on_rq == true and the 2nd loop because the cfs is throttled whereas we have to update both load_avg with the old h_nr_running and increase h_nr_running in such case. The same sequence can happen during dequeue when se moves to parent before breaking in the 1st loop. Note that the update of load_avg will effectively happen only once in order to sync up to the throttled time. Next call for updating load_avg will stop early because the clock stays unchanged.

comparing tasks task_numa_find_cpu() can scan a node multiple times. Minimally it scans to gather statistics and later to find a suitable target. In some cases, the second scan will simply pick an idle CPU if the load is not imbalanced. This patch caches information on an idle core while gathering statistics and uses it immediately if load is not imbalanced to avoid a second scan of the node runqueues. Preference is given to an idle core rather than an idle SMT sibling to avoid packing HT siblings due to linearly scanning the node cpumask. As a side-effect, even when the second scan is necessary, the importance of using select_idle_sibling is much reduced because information on idle CPUs is cached and can be reused. Note that this patch actually makes is harder to move to an idle CPU as multiple tasks can race for the same idle CPU due to a race checking numa_migrate_on. This is addressed in the next patch.

Now that runnable_load_avg has been removed, we can replace it by a new signal that will highlight the runnable pressure on a cfs_rq. This signal track the waiting time of tasks on rq and can help to better define the state of rqs. At now, only util_avg is used to define the state of a rq: A rq with more that around 80% of utilization and more than 1 tasks is considered as overloaded. But the util_avg signal of a rq can become temporaly low after that a task migrated onto another rq which can bias the classification of the rq. When tasks compete for the same rq, their runnable average signal will be higher than util_avg as it will include the waiting time and we can use this signal to better classify cfs_rqs. The new runnable_avg will track the runnable time of a task which simply adds the waiting time to the running time. The runnable _avg of cfs_rq will be the /Sum of se's runnable_avg and the runnable_avg of group entity will follow the one of the rq similarly to util_avg.
