      [PATCH] cond_resched() fix · e7b38404
      由 Andrew Morton 提交于 
      Fix a bug identified by Zou Nan hai <nanhai.zou@intel.com>:

If the system is in state SYSTEM_BOOTING, and need_resched() is true,
cond_resched() returns true even though it didn't reschedule.  Consequently
need_resched() remains true and JBD locks up.

Fix that by teaching cond_resched() to only return true if it really did call
schedule().

cond_resched_lock() and cond_resched_softirq() have a problem too.  If we're
in SYSTEM_BOOTING state and need_resched() is true, these functions will drop
the lock and will then try to call schedule(), but the SYSTEM_BOOTING state
will prevent schedule() from being called.  So on return, need_resched() will
still be true, but cond_resched_lock() has to return 1 to tell the caller that
the lock was dropped.  The caller will probably lock up.

Bottom line: if these functions dropped the lock, they _must_ call schedule()
to clear need_resched().   Make it so.

Also, uninline __cond_resched().  It's largeish, and slowpath.

      [PATCH] rtmutex: Propagate priority settings into PI lock chains · 95e02ca9
      由 Thomas Gleixner 提交于 
      When the priority of a task, which is blocked on a lock, changes we must
propagate this change into the PI lock chain.  Therefor the chain walk code
is changed to get rid of the references to current to avoid false positives
in the deadlock detector, as setscheduler might be called by a task which
holds the lock on which the task whose priority is changed is blocked.

Also add some comments about the get/put_task_struct usage to avoid
confusion.

This consists of:

 - caching the 'normal' priority in ->normal_prio
 - providing a functions to set/get the priority of the task
 - make sched_setscheduler() aware of boosting

The effective_prio() cleanups also fix a priority-calculation bug pointed out

      由 Steven Rostedt 提交于 
      Thomas Gleixner is adding the call to a rtmutex function in setscheduler.
This call grabs a spin_lock that is not always protected by interrupts
disabled.  So this means that setscheduler cant be called from interrupt
context.

To prevent this from happening in the future, this patch adds a
BUG_ON(in_interrupt()) in that function.  (Thanks to akpm <aka.  Andrew

      sysfs entries 'sched_mc_power_savings' and 'sched_smt_power_savings' in

Based on the values (1-enable, 0-disable) for these controls, sched groups
cpu power will be determined for different domains.  When power savings
policy is enabled and under light load conditions, scheduler will minimize
the physical packages/cpu cores carrying the load and thus conserving
power(with a perf impact based on the workload characteristics...  see OLS

      [PATCH] sched: Avoid unnecessarily moving highest priority task move_tasks() · 615052dc
      由 Peter Williams 提交于 
      Problem:

To help distribute high priority tasks evenly across the available CPUs
move_tasks() does not, under some circumstances, skip tasks whose load
weight is bigger than the designated amount.  Because the highest priority
task on the busiest queue may be on the expired array it may be moved as a
result of this mechanism.  Apart from not being the most desirable way to
redistribute the high priority tasks (we'd rather move the second highest
priority task), there is a risk that this could set up a loop with this
task bouncing backwards and forwards between the two queues.  (This latter
possibility can be demonstrated by running a nice==-20 CPU bound task on an
otherwise quiet 2 CPU system.)

Solution:

Modify the mechanism so that it does not override skip for the highest
priority task on the CPU.  Of course, if there are more than one tasks at
the highest priority then it will allow the override for one of them as
this is a desirable redistribution of high priority tasks.

      [PATCH] sched: modify move_tasks() to improve load balancing outcomes · 50ddd969
      由 Peter Williams 提交于 
      Problem:

The move_tasks() function is designed to move UP TO the amount of load it
is asked to move and in doing this it skips over tasks looking for ones
whose load weights are less than or equal to the remaining load to be
moved.  This is (in general) a good thing but it has the unfortunate result
of breaking one of the original load balancer's good points: namely, that
(within the limits imposed by the active/expired array model and the fact
the expired is processed first) it moves high priority tasks before low
priority ones and this means there's a good chance (see active/expired
problem for why it's only a chance) that the highest priority task on the
queue but not actually on the CPU will be moved to the other CPU where (as
a high priority task) it may preempt the current task.

Solution:

Modify move_tasks() so that high priority tasks are not skipped when moving
them will make them the highest priority task on their new run queue.

      [PATCH] sched: implement smpnice · 2dd73a4f
      由 Peter Williams 提交于 
      Problem:

The introduction of separate run queues per CPU has brought with it "nice"
enforcement problems that are best described by a simple example.

For the sake of argument suppose that on a single CPU machine with a
nice==19 hard spinner and a nice==0 hard spinner running that the nice==0
task gets 95% of the CPU and the nice==19 task gets 5% of the CPU.  Now
suppose that there is a system with 2 CPUs and 2 nice==19 hard spinners and
2 nice==0 hard spinners running.  The user of this system would be entitled
to expect that the nice==0 tasks each get 95% of a CPU and the nice==19
tasks only get 5% each.  However, whether this expectation is met is pretty
much down to luck as there are four equally likely distributions of the
tasks to the CPUs that the load balancing code will consider to be balanced
with loads of 2.0 for each CPU.  Two of these distributions involve one
nice==0 and one nice==19 task per CPU and in these circumstances the users
expectations will be met.  The other two distributions both involve both
nice==0 tasks being on one CPU and both nice==19 being on the other CPU and
each task will get 50% of a CPU and the user's expectations will not be
met.

Solution:

The solution to this problem that is implemented in the attached patch is
to use weighted loads when determining if the system is balanced and, when
an imbalance is detected, to move an amount of weighted load between run
queues (as opposed to a number of tasks) to restore the balance.  Once
again, the easiest way to explain why both of these measures are necessary
is to use a simple example.  Suppose that (in a slight variation of the
above example) that we have a two CPU system with 4 nice==0 and 4 nice=19
hard spinning tasks running and that the 4 nice==0 tasks are on one CPU and
the 4 nice==19 tasks are on the other CPU.  The weighted loads for the two
CPUs would be 4.0 and 0.2 respectively and the load balancing code would
move 2 tasks resulting in one CPU with a load of 2.0 and the other with
load of 2.2.  If this was considered to be a big enough imbalance to
justify moving a task and that task was moved using the current
move_tasks() then it would move the highest priority task that it found and
this would result in one CPU with a load of 3.0 and the other with a load
of 1.2 which would result in the movement of a task in the opposite
direction and so on -- infinite loop.  If, on the other hand, an amount of
load to be moved is calculated from the imbalance (in this case 0.1) and
move_tasks() skips tasks until it find ones whose contributions to the
weighted load are less than this amount it would move two of the nice==19
tasks resulting in a system with 2 nice==0 and 2 nice=19 on each CPU with
loads of 2.1 for each CPU.

One of the advantages of this mechanism is that on a system where all tasks
have nice==0 the load balancing calculations would be mathematically
identical to the current load balancing code.

Notes:

struct task_struct:

has a new field load_weight which (in a trade off of space for speed)
stores the contribution that this task makes to a CPU's weighted load when
it is runnable.

struct runqueue:

has a new field raw_weighted_load which is the sum of the load_weight
values for the currently runnable tasks on this run queue.  This field
always needs to be updated when nr_running is updated so two new inline
functions inc_nr_running() and dec_nr_running() have been created to make
sure that this happens.  This also offers a convenient way to optimize away
this part of the smpnice mechanism when CONFIG_SMP is not defined.

int try_to_wake_up():

in this function the value SCHED_LOAD_BALANCE is used to represent the load
contribution of a single task in various calculations in the code that
decides which CPU to put the waking task on.  While this would be a valid
on a system where the nice values for the runnable tasks were distributed
evenly around zero it will lead to anomalous load balancing if the
distribution is skewed in either direction.  To overcome this problem
SCHED_LOAD_SCALE has been replaced by the load_weight for the relevant task
or by the average load_weight per task for the queue in question (as
appropriate).

int move_tasks():

The modifications to this function were complicated by the fact that
active_load_balance() uses it to move exactly one task without checking
whether an imbalance actually exists.  This precluded the simple
overloading of max_nr_move with max_load_move and necessitated the addition
of the latter as an extra argument to the function.  The internal
implementation is then modified to move up to max_nr_move tasks and
max_load_move of weighted load.  This slightly complicates the code where
move_tasks() is called and if ever active_load_balance() is changed to not
use move_tasks() the implementation of move_tasks() should be simplified
accordingly.

struct sched_group *find_busiest_group():

Similar to try_to_wake_up(), there are places in this function where
SCHED_LOAD_SCALE is used to represent the load contribution of a single
task and the same issues are created.  A similar solution is adopted except
that it is now the average per task contribution to a group's load (as
opposed to a run queue) that is required.  As this value is not directly
available from the group it is calculated on the fly as the queues in the
groups are visited when determining the busiest group.

A key change to this function is that it is no longer to scale down
*imbalance on exit as move_tasks() uses the load in its scaled form.

void set_user_nice():

has been modified to update the task's load_weight field when it's nice
value and also to ensure that its run queue's raw_weighted_load field is
updated if it was runnable.

From: "Siddha, Suresh B" <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com>

With smpnice, sched groups with highest priority tasks can mask the imbalance
between the other sched groups with in the same domain.  This patch fixes some
of the listed down scenarios by not considering the sched groups which are
lightly loaded.

a) on a simple 4-way MP system, if we have one high priority and 4 normal
   priority tasks, with smpnice we would like to see the high priority task
   scheduled on one cpu, two other cpus getting one normal task each and the
   fourth cpu getting the remaining two normal tasks.  but with current
   smpnice extra normal priority task keeps jumping from one cpu to another
   cpu having the normal priority task.  This is because of the
   busiest_has_loaded_cpus, nr_loaded_cpus logic..  We are not including the
   cpu with high priority task in max_load calculations but including that in
   total and avg_load calcuations..  leading to max_load < avg_load and load
   balance between cpus running normal priority tasks(2 Vs 1) will always show
   imbalanace as one normal priority and the extra normal priority task will
   keep moving from one cpu to another cpu having normal priority task..

b) 4-way system with HT (8 logical processors).  Package-P0 T0 has a
   highest priority task, T1 is idle.  Package-P1 Both T0 and T1 have 1 normal
   priority task each..  P2 and P3 are idle.  With this patch, one of the
   normal priority tasks on P1 will be moved to P2 or P3..

c) With the current weighted smp nice calculations, it doesn't always make
   sense to look at the highest weighted runqueue in the busy group..
   Consider a load balance scenario on a DP with HT system, with Package-0
   containing one high priority and one low priority, Package-1 containing one
   low priority(with other thread being idle)..  Package-1 thinks that it need
   to take the low priority thread from Package-0.  And find_busiest_queue()
   returns the cpu thread with highest priority task..  And ultimately(with
   help of active load balance) we move high priority task to Package-1.  And
   same continues with Package-0 now, moving high priority task from package-1
   to package-0..  Even without the presence of active load balance, load
   balance will fail to balance the above scenario..  Fix find_busiest_queue
   to use "imbalance" when it is lightly loaded.

      [PATCH] sched: fix smt nice lock contention and optimization · c96d145e
      由 Chen, Kenneth W 提交于 
      Initial report and lock contention fix from Chris Mason:

Recent benchmarks showed some performance regressions between 2.6.16 and
2.6.5.  We tracked down one of the regressions to lock contention in
schedule heavy workloads (~70,000 context switches per second)

kernel/sched.c:dependent_sleeper() was responsible for most of the lock
contention, hammering on the run queue locks.  The patch below is more of a
discussion point than a suggested fix (although it does reduce lock
contention significantly).  The dependent_sleeper code looks very expensive
to me, especially for using a spinlock to bounce control between two
different siblings in the same cpu.

It is further optimized:

* perform dependent_sleeper check after next task is determined
* convert wake_sleeping_dependent to use trylock
* skip smt runqueue check if trylock fails
* optimize double_rq_lock now that smt nice is converted to trylock
* early exit in searching first SD_SHARE_CPUPOWER domain
* speedup fast path of dependent_sleeper

CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is defined.

      [PATCH] i386/x86-64/ia64: Move polling flag into thread_info_status · 495ab9c0
      由 Andi Kleen 提交于 
      During some profiling I noticed that default_idle causes a lot of
memory traffic. I think that is caused by the atomic operations
to clear/set the polling flag in thread_info. There is actually
no reason to make this atomic - only the idle thread does it
to itself, other CPUs only read it. So I moved it into ti->status.

Converted i386/x86-64/ia64 for now because that was the easiest
way to fix ACPI which also manipulates these flags in its idle
function.

      [PATCH] sched: fix SCHED_FIFO bug in sys_sched_rr_get_interval() · b78709cf
      由 Peter Williams 提交于 
      The introduction of SCHED_BATCH scheduling class with a value of 3 means
that the expression (p->policy & SCHED_FIFO) will return true if policy
is SCHED_BATCH or SCHED_FIFO.

Unfortunately, this expression is used in sys_sched_rr_get_interval()
and in the absence of a comment to say that this is intentional I
presume that it is unintentional and erroneous.

The fix is to change the expression to (p->policy == SCHED_FIFO).
