This comes from the fact that if the cpu going down happens to be the cpu doing the tick, then as the tick_do_timer_cpu handover happens after the cpu is dead (via the CPU_DEAD notification), we're left without ticks, jiffies are frozen and any task relying on timers (msleep, ...) is stuck. That's particularly the case for the cpu looping in __cpu_die() waiting for the dying cpu to be dead. This patch addresses this by having the tick_do_timer_cpu handover happen earlier during the CPU_DYING notification. For this, a new clockevent notification type is introduced (CLOCK_EVT_NOTIFY_CPU_DYING) which is triggered in hrtimer_cpu_notify().

This can be caused in several situations: - the hardware is very slow and HZ is set too high - something intrusive is slowing the system down (tracing under emulation) ... and the next clock events to program are always before the current time. This patch implements a reasonable compromise: if such a situation is detected, we share the CPUs time in 1/4 to process the hrtimer interrupts. This is enough to let the system running without serious starvation. It has been successfully tested under VirtualBox with 1000 HZ and 100 HZ with function graph tracer launched. On both cases, the clock events were increased until about 25 ms periodic ticks, which means 40 HZ. So we change a hard to debug hang into a warning message and a system that still manages to limp along.

With this change the clockevent can be registered without delta details which allows us to keep the parent clock disabled until the clockevent gets setup using set_mode(). Letting set_mode() fill in or update delta details allows us to save power by disabling the parent clock while the clockevent is unused. This may however make the parent clock rate change, so next time the clockevent gets enabled we need let set_mode() to update the detla details accordingly. Doing it at registration time is not enough. Furthermore, the delta details seem unused in the case of periodic-only clockevent drivers, so this change also allows registration of such drivers without the delta details filled in.

However, when a process changes behaviour, eg a pipe becomes un-congested and we don't need to go to sleep after a wakeup for a while, the avg_overlap value grows stale. When running we use the avg runtime between preemption as a measure for avg_overlap since the amount of runtime can be correlated to cache footprint. The longer we run, the less likely we'll be wanting to be migrated to another CPU.

And the domain rebalancing softirq was the most concerned. The timer interrupt calls trigger_load_balance() which will decide if it is worth to schedule a rebalancing softirq. In case of builtin UP kernel, no problem arises because there is no domain question. In case of builtin SMP kernel running on an SMP box, still no problem, the softirq will be raised each time we reach the next_balance time. In case of builtin SMP kernel running on a UP box (most distros provide default SMP kernels, whatever the box you have), then the CPU is attached to the NULL sched domain. So a kind of unexpected behaviour happen: trigger_load_balance() -> raises the rebalancing softirq later on softirq: run_rebalance_domains() -> rebalance_domains() where the for_each_domain(cpu, sd) is not taken because of the NULL domain we are attached at. Which means rq->next_balance is never updated. So on the next timer tick, we will enter trigger_load_balance() which will always reschedule() the rebalacing softirq: if (time_after_eq(jiffies, rq->next_balance)) raise_softirq(SCHED_SOFTIRQ); So for each tick, we process this pointless softirq. This patch fixes it by checking if we are attached to the null domain before raising the softirq, another possible fix would be to set the maximal possible JIFFIES value to rq->next_balance if we are attached to the NULL domain. v2: build fix on UP Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> LKML-Reference: <49af242d.1c07d00a.32d5.ffffc019@mx.google.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

This was the result of a dropped rq lock in double_lock_balance allowing a task in the process of being pushed to potentially migrate away, and thus corrupt the pushable_tasks() list. I traced back the problem as introduced by the pushable_tasks patch that went in recently. There is a "retry" path in push_rt_task() that actually had a compound conditional to decide whether to retry or exit. I missed the meaning behind the rationale for the virtual "if(!task) goto out;" portion of the compound statement and thus did not handle it properly. The new pushable_tasks logic actually creates three distinct conditions: 1) an untouched and unpushable task should be dequeued 2) a migrated task where more pushable tasks remain should be retried 3) a migrated task where no more pushable tasks exist should exit The original logic mushed (1) and (3) together, resulting in the system dequeuing a migrated task (against an unlocked foreign run-queue nonetheless). To fix this, we get rid of the notion of "paranoid" and we support the three unique conditions properly. The paranoid feature is no longer relevant with the new pushable logic (since pushable naturally limits the loop) anyway, so lets just remove it.

When a task is awoken, it is immediately determined if there are any lower priority cpus which should be preempted. This is opposed to the way normal SCHED_OTHER tasks behave, which will wait for a periodic rebalancing operation to occur before spreading out load. When a particular RQ has more than 1 active RT task, it is said to be in an "overloaded" state. Once this occurs, the system enters the active balancing mode, where it will try to push the task away, or persuade a different cpu to pull it over. The system will stay in this state until the system falls back below the <= 1 queued RT task per RQ. However, the current implementation suffers from a limitation in the push logic. Once overloaded, all tasks (other than current) on the RQ are analyzed on every push operation, even if it was previously unpushable (due to affinity, etc). Whats more, the operation stops at the first task that is unpushable and will not look at items lower in the queue. This causes two problems: 1) We can have the same tasks analyzed over and over again during each push, which extends out the fast path in the scheduler for no gain. Consider a RQ that has dozens of tasks that are bound to a core. Each one of those tasks will be encountered and skipped for each push operation while they are queued. 2) There may be lower-priority tasks under the unpushable task that could have been successfully pushed, but will never be considered until either the unpushable task is cleared, or a pull operation succeeds. The net result is a potential latency source for mid priority tasks. This patch aims to rectify these two conditions by introducing a new priority sorted list: "pushable_tasks". A task is added to the list each time a task is activated or preempted. It is removed from the list any time it is deactivated, made current, or fails to push. This works because a task only needs to be attempted to push once. After an initial failure to push, the other cpus will eventually try to pull the task when the conditions are proper. This also solves the problem that we don't completely analyze all tasks due to encountering an unpushable tasks. Now every task will have a push attempted (when appropriate). This reduces latency both by shorting the critical section of the rq->lock for certain workloads, and by making sure the algorithm considers all eligible tasks in the system.

This is currently not a problem as we only look at rq->rt.overloaded. However, we want to enhance this going forward to look at more state to reduce the need to post_schedule to a bare minimum set. Therefore, we introduce a new member-func called needs_post_schedule() which tests for the post_schedule condtion without actually performing the work. Therefore it is safe to call this function before the rq->lock is released, because we are guaranteed not to drop the lock at an intermediate point (such as what post_schedule() may do). We will use this later in the series [ rostedt: removed paranoid BUG_ON ] Signed-off-by: Gregory Haskins <ghaskins@novell.com>

The result is that logically higher cpus can get starved when there is a lot of pressure on the RQs. This can result in higher latencies on higher cpu-ids. This patch makes the algorithm more fair by forcing all paths to have to release both locks before acquiring them again. Since callsites to double_lock_balance already consider it a potential preemption/reschedule point, they have the proper logic to recheck for atomicity violations.
