| * stop_machine: Fix race between stop_two_cpus() and stop_cpus()Rik van Riel2013-11-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is a race between stop_two_cpus, and the global stop_cpus. It is possible for two CPUs to get their stopper functions queued "backwards" from one another, resulting in the stopper threads getting stuck, and the system hanging. This can happen because queuing up stoppers is not synchronized. This patch adds synchronization between stop_cpus (a rare operation), and stop_two_cpus.

| * sched: Remove unnecessary iteration over sched domains to update nr_busy_cpusPreeti U Murthy2013-11-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | nr_busy_cpus parameter is used by nohz_kick_needed() to find out the number of busy cpus in a sched domain which has SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES flag set. Therefore instead of updating nr_busy_cpus at every level of sched domain, since it is irrelevant, we can update this parameter only at the parent domain of the sd which has this flag set. Introduce a per-cpu parameter sd_busy which represents this parent domain. In nohz_kick_needed() we directly query the nr_busy_cpus parameter associated with the groups of sd_busy. By associating sd_busy with the highest domain which has SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES flag set, we cover all lower level domains which could have this flag set and trigger nohz_idle_balancing if any of the levels have more than one busy cpu. sd_busy is irrelevant for asymmetric load balancing. However sd_asym has been introduced to represent the highest sched domain which has SD_ASYM_PACKING flag set so that it can be queried directly when required. While we are at it, we might as well change the nohz_idle parameter to be updated at the sd_busy domain level alone and not the base domain level of a CPU. This will unify the concept of busy cpus at just one level of sched domain where it is currently used.

| * sched: Fix asymmetric scheduling for POWER7Vaidyanathan Srinivasan2013-11-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Asymmetric scheduling within a core is a scheduler loadbalancing feature that is triggered when SD_ASYM_PACKING flag is set. The goal for the load balancer is to move tasks to lower order idle SMT threads within a core on a POWER7 system. In nohz_kick_needed(), we intend to check if our sched domain (core) is completely busy or we have idle cpu. The following check for SD_ASYM_PACKING: (cpumask_first_and(nohz.idle_cpus_mask, sched_domain_span(sd)) < cpu) already covers the case of checking if the domain has an idle cpu, because cpumask_first_and() will not yield any set bits if this domain has no idle cpu. Hence, nr_busy check against group weight can be removed.

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.

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 Segall2013-10-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | __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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

This also shaves a couple of insns from the inlined code.

However switch to active mask for symmetry with sched_setaffinity()/set_cpus_allowed_ptr(). We guarantee active mask stability by inserting sync_rcu/sched() into _cpu_down. - sched_setaffinity(); we don't appear to need get_online_cpus() either, there's two sites where hotplug appears relevant: * cpuset_cpus_allowed(); for the !cpuset case we use possible_mask, for the cpuset case we hold task_lock, which is a spinlock and thus for mainline disables preemption (might cause pain on RT). * set_cpus_allowed_ptr(); Holds all scheduler locks and thus has preemption properly disabled; also it already deals with hotplug races explicitly where it releases them. - migrate_swap(); we can make stop_two_cpus() do the heavy lifting for us with a little trickery. By adding a sync_sched/rcu() after the CPU_DOWN_PREPARE notifier we can provide preempt/rcu guarantees for cpu_active_mask. Use these to validate that both our cpus are active when queueing the stop work before we queue the stop_machine works for take_cpu_down().

| * | sched: Fix race in migrate_swap_stop()Peter Zijlstra2013-10-16

Task P: - call migrate_swap Task T: - go to sleep, removing itself from the runqueue Task P: - double lock the runqueues on CPU A & B Task T: - get woken up, place itself on the runqueue of CPU C Task P: - see that task T is on a runqueue, and pretend to remove it from the runqueue on CPU B Now CPUs B & C both have corrupted scheduler data structures. This patch fixes it, by holding the pi_lock for both of the tasks involved in the migrate swap. This prevents task T from waking up, and placing itself onto another runqueue, until after migrate_swap has released all locks.

The only site using rt_overloaded() to test the rto_count is pull_rt_task() and we should issue a matching rmb before then assuming there's an rto_mask bit set. Without that smp_rmb() in there we could actually miss seeing the rto_mask bit. Also, change to using smp_[wr]mb(), even though this is SMP only code; memory barriers without smp_ always make me think they're against hardware of some sort.

This patch adds sysctl numa_balancing_migrate_deferred, which specifies how many shared page migrations to skip unconditionally, after each page migration that is skipped because it is a shared fault. This reduces the number of page migrations back and forth in shared fault situations. It also gives a strong preference to the tasks that are already running where most of the memory is, and to moving the other tasks to near the memory. Testing this with a much higher scan rate than the default still seems to result in fewer page migrations than before. Memory seems to be somewhat better consolidated than previously, with multi-instance specjbb runs on a 4 node system.

The problem is related to handling PMD pages in batch. When a page fault is handled it can be assumed that the page being faulted will also be flushed from the TLB. The same flushing does not happen when handling PMD pages in batch. Fixing is straight forward but there are a number of reasons not to 1. Multiple TLB flushes may have to be sent depending on what pages get migrated 2. The handling of PMDs in batch means that faults get accounted to the task that is handling the fault. While care is taken to only mark PMDs where the last CPU and PID match it can still have problems due to PID truncation when matching PIDs. 3. Batching on the PMD level may reduce faults but setting pmd_numa requires taking a heavy lock that can contend with THP migration and handling the fault requires the release/acquisition of the PTL for every page migrated. It's still pretty heavy. PMD batch handling is not something that people ever have been happy with. This patch removes it and later patches will deal with the additional fault overhead using more installigent migrate rate adaption.

As while we don't migrate shared executable pages, we do scan/fault on them. And since everybody links to libc, everybody ends up in the same group.

This makes every fault on a recently migrated page look like a first numa fault, leading to another page migration. Copying over the nidpid at page migration time should prevent erroneous migrations of recently migrated pages.

| * | | sched/numa: Use {cpu, pid} to create task groups for shared faultsPeter Zijlstra2013-10-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While parallel applications tend to align their data on the cache boundary, they tend not to align on the page or THP boundary. Consequently tasks that partition their data can still "false-share" pages presenting a problem for optimal NUMA placement. This patch uses NUMA hinting faults to chain tasks together into numa_groups. As well as storing the NID a task was running on when accessing a page a truncated representation of the faulting PID is stored. If subsequent faults are from different PIDs it is reasonable to assume that those two tasks share a page and are candidates for being grouped together. Note that this patch makes no scheduling decisions based on the grouping information.
