* sched: Guarantee new group-entities always have weightPaul Turner2014-01-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit 0ac9b1c21874d2490331233b3242085f8151e166 upstream. Currently, group entity load-weights are initialized to zero. This admits some races with respect to the first time they are re-weighted in earlty use. ( Let g[x] denote the se for "g" on cpu "x". ) Suppose that we have root->a and that a enters a throttled state, immediately followed by a[0]->t1 (the only task running on cpu[0]) blocking: put_prev_task(group_cfs_rq(a[0]), t1) put_prev_entity(..., t1) check_cfs_rq_runtime(group_cfs_rq(a[0])) throttle_cfs_rq(group_cfs_rq(a[0])) Then, before unthrottling occurs, let a[0]->b[0]->t2 wake for the first time: enqueue_task_fair(rq[0], t2) enqueue_entity(group_cfs_rq(b[0]), t2) enqueue_entity_load_avg(group_cfs_rq(b[0]), t2) account_entity_enqueue(group_cfs_ra(b[0]), t2) update_cfs_shares(group_cfs_rq(b[0])) < skipped because b is part of a throttled hierarchy > enqueue_entity(group_cfs_rq(a[0]), b[0]) ... We now have b[0] enqueued, yet group_cfs_rq(a[0])->load.weight == 0 which violates invariants in several code-paths. Eliminate the possibility of this by initializing group entity weight.

* sched: Fix hrtimer_cancel()/rq->lock deadlockBen Segall2014-01-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit 927b54fccbf04207ec92f669dce6806848cbec7d upstream. __start_cfs_bandwidth calls hrtimer_cancel while holding rq->lock, waiting for the hrtimer to finish. However, if sched_cfs_period_timer runs for another loop iteration, the hrtimer can attempt to take rq->lock, resulting in deadlock. Fix this by ensuring that cfs_b->timer_active is cleared only if the _latest_ call to do_sched_cfs_period_timer is returning as idle. Then __start_cfs_bandwidth can just call hrtimer_try_to_cancel and wait for that to succeed or timer_active == 1.

* sched: Fix race on toggling cfs_bandwidth_usedBen Segall2014-01-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit 1ee14e6c8cddeeb8a490d7b54cd9016e4bb900b4 upstream. When we transition cfs_bandwidth_used to false, any currently throttled groups will incorrectly return false from cfs_rq_throttled. While tg_set_cfs_bandwidth will unthrottle them eventually, currently running code (including at least dequeue_task_fair and distribute_cfs_runtime) will cause errors. Fix this by turning off cfs_bandwidth_used only after unthrottling all cfs_rqs. Tested: toggle bandwidth back and forth on a loaded cgroup. Caused crashes in minutes without the patch, hasn't crashed with it.

* sched: Avoid throttle_cfs_rq() racing with period_timer stoppingBen Segall2013-12-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit f9f9ffc237dd924f048204e8799da74f9ecf40cf upstream. throttle_cfs_rq() doesn't check to make sure that period_timer is running, and while update_curr/assign_cfs_runtime does, a concurrently running period_timer on another cpu could cancel itself between this cpu's update_curr and throttle_cfs_rq(). If there are no other cfs_rqs running in the tg to restart the timer, this causes the cfs_rq to be stranded forever. Fix this by calling __start_cfs_bandwidth() in throttle if the timer is inactive. (Also add some sched_debug lines for cfs_bandwidth.) Tested: make a run/sleep task in a cgroup, loop switching the cgroup between 1ms/100ms quota and unlimited, checking for timer_active=0 and throttled=1 as a failure. With the throttle_cfs_rq() change commented out this fails, with the full patch it passes.

| * sched: Fix init NOHZ_IDLE flagVincent Guittot2013-04-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On my SMP platform which is made of 5 cores in 2 clusters, I have the nr_busy_cpu field of sched_group_power struct that is not null when the platform is fully idle - which makes the scheduler unhappy. The root cause is: During the boot sequence, some CPUs reach the idle loop and set their NOHZ_IDLE flag while waiting for others CPUs to boot. But the nr_busy_cpus field is initialized later with the assumption that all CPUs are in the busy state whereas some CPUs have already set their NOHZ_IDLE flag. More generally, the NOHZ_IDLE flag must be initialized when new sched_domains are created in order to ensure that NOHZ_IDLE and nr_busy_cpus are aligned. This condition can be ensured by adding a synchronize_rcu() between the destruction of old sched_domains and the creation of new ones so the NOHZ_IDLE flag will not be updated with old sched_domain once it has been initialized. But this solution introduces a additionnal latency in the rebuild sequence that is called during cpu hotplug. As suggested by Frederic Weisbecker, another solution is to have the same rcu lifecycle for both NOHZ_IDLE and sched_domain struct. A new nohz_idle field is added to sched_domain so both status and sched_domain will share the same RCU lifecycle and will be always synchronized. In addition, there is no more need to protect nohz_idle against concurrent access as it is only modified by 2 exclusive functions called by local cpu. This solution has been prefered to the creation of a new struct with an extra pointer indirection for sched_domain. The synchronization is done at the cost of : - An additional indirection and a rcu_dereference for accessing nohz_idle. - We use only the nohz_idle field of the top sched_domain.

| * sched: Prevent to re-select dst-cpu in load_balance()Joonsoo Kim2013-04-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 88b8dac0 makes load_balance() consider other cpus in its group. But, in that, there is no code for preventing to re-select dst-cpu. So, same dst-cpu can be selected over and over. This patch add functionality to load_balance() in order to exclude cpu which is selected once. We prevent to re-select dst_cpu via env's cpus, so now, env's cpus is a candidate not only for src_cpus, but also dst_cpus. With this patch, we can remove lb_iterations and max_lb_iterations, because we decide whether we can go ahead or not via env's cpus.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, LBF_ALL_PINNED is cleared after affinity check is passed. So, if task migration is skipped by small load value or small imbalance value in move_tasks(), we don't clear LBF_ALL_PINNED. At last, we trigger 'redo' in load_balance(). Imbalance value is often so small that any tasks cannot be moved to other cpus and, of course, this situation may be continued after we change the target cpu. So this patch move up affinity check code and clear LBF_ALL_PINNED before evaluating load value in order to mitigate useless redoing overhead. In addition, re-order some comments correctly.

The update of the load of a rq that becomes idle, is done only if the avg_idle is less than sysctl_sched_migration_cost. If RT tasks and short idle duration alternate, the runnable_avg will not be updated correctly and the time will be accounted as idle time when a CFS task wakes up. A new idle_enter function is called when the next task is the idle function so the elapsed time will be accounted as run time in the load of the rq, whatever the average idle time is. The function update_rq_runnable_avg is removed from idle_balance. When a RT task is scheduled on an idle CPU, the update of the rq's load is not done when the rq exit idle state because CFS's functions are not called. Then, the idle_balance, which is called just before entering the idle function, updates the rq's load and makes the assumption that the elapsed time since the last update, was only running time. As a consequence, the rq's load of a CPU that only runs a periodic RT task, is close to LOAD_AVG_MAX whatever the running duration of the RT task is. A new idle_exit function is called when the prev task is the idle function so the elapsed time will be accounted as idle time in the rq's load.

* | nohz: Rename CONFIG_NO_HZ to CONFIG_NO_HZ_COMMONFrederic Weisbecker2013-04-03
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We are planning to convert the dynticks Kconfig options layout into a choice menu. The user must be able to easily pick any of the following implementations: constant periodic tick, idle dynticks, full dynticks. As this implies a mutual exclusion, the two dynticks implementions need to converge on the selection of a common Kconfig option in order to ease the sharing of a common infrastructure. It would thus seem pretty natural to reuse CONFIG_NO_HZ to that end. It already implements all the idle dynticks code and the full dynticks depends on all that code for now. So ideally the choice menu would propose CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE and CONFIG_NO_HZ_EXTENDED then both would select CONFIG_NO_HZ. On the other hand we want to stay backward compatible: if CONFIG_NO_HZ is set in an older config file, we want to enable CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE by default. But we can't afford both at the same time or we run into a circular dependency: 1) CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE and CONFIG_NO_HZ_EXTENDED both select CONFIG_NO_HZ 2) If CONFIG_NO_HZ is set, we default to CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE We might be able to support that from Kconfig/Kbuild but it may not be wise to introduce such a confusing behaviour. So to solve this, create a new CONFIG_NO_HZ_COMMON option which gathers the common code between idle and full dynticks (that common code for now is simply the idle dynticks code) and select it from their referring Kconfig.

In almost all respects balancenuma is the dumbest of the three because its main impact is on the VM side with no attempt to be smart about scheduling. In the interest of getting the ball rolling, it would be desirable to see this much merged for 3.8 with the view to building scheduler smarts on top and adapting the VM where required for 3.9. The most recent set of comparisons available from different people are mel: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/9/108 mingo: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/7/331 tglx: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/10/437 srikar: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/10/397 The results are a mixed bag. In my own tests, balancenuma does reasonably well. It's dumb as rocks and does not regress against mainline. On the other hand, Ingo's tests shows that balancenuma is incapable of converging for this workloads driven by perf which is bad but is potentially explained by the lack of scheduler smarts. Thomas' results show balancenuma improves on mainline but falls far short of numacore or autonuma. Srikar's results indicate we all suffer on a large machine with imbalanced node sizes. My own testing showed that recent numacore results have improved dramatically, particularly in the last week but not universally. We've butted heads heavily on system CPU usage and high levels of migration even when it shows that overall performance is better. There are also cases where it regresses. Of interest is that for specjbb in some configurations it will regress for lower numbers of warehouses and show gains for higher numbers which is not reported by the tool by default and sometimes missed in treports. Recently I reported for numacore that the JVM was crashing with NullPointerExceptions but currently it's unclear what the source of this problem is. Initially I thought it was in how numacore batch handles PTEs but I'm no longer think this is the case. It's possible numacore is just able to trigger it due to higher rates of migration. These reports were quite late in the cycle so I/we would like to start with this tree as it contains much of the code we can agree on and has not changed significantly over the last 2-3 weeks." * tag 'balancenuma-v11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mel/linux-balancenuma: (50 commits) mm/rmap, migration: Make rmap_walk_anon() and try_to_unmap_anon() more scalable mm/rmap: Convert the struct anon_vma::mutex to an rwsem mm: migrate: Account a transhuge page properly when rate limiting mm: numa: Account for failed allocations and isolations as migration failures mm: numa: Add THP migration for the NUMA working set scanning fault case build fix mm: numa: Add THP migration for the NUMA working set scanning fault case. mm: sched: numa: Delay PTE scanning until a task is scheduled on a new node mm: sched: numa: Control enabling and disabling of NUMA balancing if !SCHED_DEBUG mm: sched: numa: Control enabling and disabling of NUMA balancing mm: sched: Adapt the scanning rate if a NUMA hinting fault does not migrate mm: numa: Use a two-stage filter to restrict pages being migrated for unlikely task<->node relationships mm: numa: migrate: Set last_nid on newly allocated page mm: numa: split_huge_page: Transfer last_nid on tail page mm: numa: Introduce last_nid to the page frame sched: numa: Slowly increase the scanning period as NUMA faults are handled mm: numa: Rate limit setting of pte_numa if node is saturated mm: numa: Rate limit the amount of memory that is migrated between nodes mm: numa: Structures for Migrate On Fault per NUMA migration rate limiting mm: numa: Migrate pages handled during a pmd_numa hinting fault mm: numa: Migrate on reference policy ...
| * mm: sched: numa: Delay PTE scanning until a task is scheduled on a new nodeMel Gorman2012-12-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Due to the fact that migrations are driven by the CPU a task is running on there is no point tracking NUMA faults until one task runs on a new node. This patch tracks the first node used by an address space. Until it changes, PTE scanning is disabled and no NUMA hinting faults are trapped. This should help workloads that are short-lived, do not care about NUMA placement or have bound themselves to a single node. This takes advantage of the logic in "mm: sched: numa: Implement slow start for working set sampling" to delay when the checks are made. This will take advantage of processes that set their CPU and node bindings early in their lifetime. It will also potentially allow any initial load balancing to take place.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The PTE scanning rate and fault rates are two of the biggest sources of system CPU overhead with automatic NUMA placement. Ideally a proper policy would detect if a workload was properly placed, schedule and adjust the PTE scanning rate accordingly. We do not track the necessary information to do that but we at least know if we migrated or not. This patch scans slower if a page was not migrated as the result of a NUMA hinting fault up to sysctl_numa_balancing_scan_period_max which is now higher than the previous default. Once every minute it will reset the scanner in case of phase changes. This is hilariously crude and the numbers are arbitrary. Workloads will converge quite slowly in comparison to what a proper policy should be able to do. On the plus side, we will chew up less CPU for workloads that have no need for automatic balancing.

| * sched: numa: Slowly increase the scanning period as NUMA faults are handledMel Gorman2012-12-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the rate of scanning for an address space is controlled by the individual tasks. The next scan is simply determined by 2*p->numa_scan_period. The 2*p->numa_scan_period is arbitrary and never changes. At this point there is still no proper policy that decides if a task or process is properly placed. It just scans and assumes the next NUMA fault will place it properly. As it is assumed that pages will get properly placed over time, increase the scan window each time a fault is incurred. This is a big assumption as noted in the comments. It should be noted that changing to p->numa_scan_period will increase system CPU usage because now the scanning rate has effectively doubled. If that is a problem then the min_rate should be made 200ms instead of restoring the 2* logic. Signed-off-by: Mel Gorman <mgorman@suse.de>

[ note that before the constant per task WSS sampling rate patch the initial scan would happen much later still, in effect that patch caused this regression. ] The theory is that short-run tasks benefit very little from NUMA placement: they come and go, and they better stick to the node they were started on. As tasks mature and rebalance to other CPUs and nodes, so does their NUMA placement have to change and so does it start to matter more and more. In practice this change fixes an observable kbuild regression: # [ a perf stat --null --repeat 10 test of ten bzImage builds to /dev/shm ] !NUMA: 45.291088843 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.40% ) 45.154231752 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.36% ) +NUMA, no slow start: 46.172308123 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.30% ) 46.343168745 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.25% ) +NUMA, 1 sec slow start: 45.224189155 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.25% ) 45.160866532 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.17% ) and it also fixes an observable perf bench (hackbench) regression: # perf stat --null --repeat 10 perf bench sched messaging -NUMA: -NUMA: 0.246225691 seconds time elapsed ( +- 1.31% ) +NUMA no slow start: 0.252620063 seconds time elapsed ( +- 1.13% ) +NUMA 1sec delay: 0.248076230 seconds time elapsed ( +- 1.35% ) The implementation is simple and straightforward, most of the patch deals with adding the /proc/sys/kernel/numa_balancing_scan_delay_ms tunable knob.

That method has various (obvious) disadvantages: - it samples the working set at dissimilar rates, giving some tasks a sampling quality advantage over others. - creates performance problems for tasks with very large working sets - over-samples processes with large address spaces but which only very rarely execute Improve that method by keeping a rotating offset into the address space that marks the current position of the scan, and advance it by a constant rate (in a CPU cycles execution proportional manner). If the offset reaches the last mapped address of the mm then it then it starts over at the first address. The per-task nature of the working set sampling functionality in this tree allows such constant rate, per task, execution-weight proportional sampling of the working set, with an adaptive sampling interval/frequency that goes from once per 100ms up to just once per 8 seconds. The current sampling volume is 256 MB per interval. As tasks mature and converge their working set, so does the sampling rate slow down to just a trickle, 256 MB per 8 seconds of CPU time executed. This, beyond being adaptive, also rate-limits rarely executing systems and does not over-sample on overloaded systems. [ In AutoNUMA speak, this patch deals with the effective sampling rate of the 'hinting page fault'. AutoNUMA's scanning is currently rate-limited, but it is also fundamentally single-threaded, executing in the knuma_scand kernel thread, so the limit in AutoNUMA is global and does not scale up with the number of CPUs, nor does it scan tasks in an execution proportional manner. So the idea of rate-limiting the scanning was first implemented in the AutoNUMA tree via a global rate limit. This patch goes beyond that by implementing an execution rate proportional working set sampling rate that is not implemented via a single global scanning daemon. ] [ Dan Carpenter pointed out a possible NULL pointer dereference in the first version of this patch. ] Based-on-idea-by: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@redhat.com> Bug-Found-By: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@redhat.com> Cc: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> [ Wrote changelog and fixed bug. ] Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Mel Gorman <mgorman@suse.de> Reviewed-by: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com>

Says Paul Turner: "It seems that the update-throttling on the wake-side is reducing the interactive tasks' ability to preempt. While I suspect the right longer term answer here is force these updates only in the cross-cgroup case; this is less trivial. For this release I believe the right answer is either going to be a revert or restore the updates on the enqueue-side."

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While per-entity load-tracking is generally useful, beyond computing shares distribution, e.g. runnable based load-balance (in progress), governors, power-management, etc. These facilities are not yet consumers of this data. This may be trivially reverted when the information is required; but avoid paying the overhead for calculations we will not use until then.

In this function we charge the accumulated run-time since last update and handle appropriate decay. In some cases, e.g. a waking task, this time interval may be much larger than our period unit. Fortunately we can exploit some properties of our series to perform decay for a blocked update in constant time and account the contribution for a running update in essentially-constant* time. [*]: For any running entity they should be performing updates at the tick which gives us a soft limit of 1 jiffy between updates, and we can compute up to a 32 jiffy update in a single pass. C program to generate the magic constants in the arrays: #include <math.h> #include <stdio.h> #define N 32 #define WMULT_SHIFT 32 const long WMULT_CONST = ((1UL << N) - 1); double y; long runnable_avg_yN_inv[N]; void calc_mult_inv() { int i; double yn = 0; printf("inverses\n"); for (i = 0; i < N; i++) { yn = (double)WMULT_CONST * pow(y, i); runnable_avg_yN_inv[i] = yn; printf("%2d: 0x%8lx\n", i, runnable_avg_yN_inv[i]); } printf("\n"); } long mult_inv(long c, int n) { return (c * runnable_avg_yN_inv[n]) >> WMULT_SHIFT; } void calc_yn_sum(int n) { int i; double sum = 0, sum_fl = 0, diff = 0; /* * We take the floored sum to ensure the sum of partial sums is never * larger than the actual sum. */ printf("sum y^n\n"); printf(" %8s %8s %8s\n", "exact", "floor", "error"); for (i = 1; i <= n; i++) { sum = (y * sum + y * 1024); sum_fl = floor(y * sum_fl+ y * 1024); printf("%2d: %8.0f %8.0f %8.0f\n", i, sum, sum_fl, sum_fl - sum); } printf("\n"); } void calc_conv(long n) { long old_n; int i = -1; printf("convergence (LOAD_AVG_MAX, LOAD_AVG_MAX_N)\n"); do { old_n = n; n = mult_inv(n, 1) + 1024; i++; } while (n != old_n); printf("%d> %ld\n", i - 1, n); printf("\n"); } void main() { y = pow(0.5, 1/(double)N); calc_mult_inv(); calc_conv(1024); calc_yn_sum(N); } [ Compile with -lm ] Signed-off-by: Paul Turner <pjt@google.com> Reviewed-by: Ben Segall <bsegall@google.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20120823141507.277808946@google.com Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that running entities maintain their own load-averages the work we must do in update_shares() is largely restricted to the periodic decay of blocked entities.

* | sched: Maintain runnable averages across throttled periodsPaul Turner2012-10-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With bandwidth control tracked entities may cease execution according to user specified bandwidth limits. Charging this time as either throttled or blocked however, is incorrect and would falsely skew in either direction. What we actually want is for any throttled periods to be "invisible" to load-tracking as they are removed from the system for that interval and contribute normally otherwise. Do this by moderating the progression of time to omit any periods in which the entity belonged to a throttled hierarchy.
