struct call_single_data is used in IPIs to transfer information between CPUs. Its size is bigger than sizeof(unsigned long) and less than cache line size. Currently it is not allocated with any explicit alignment requirements. This makes it possible for allocated call_single_data to cross two cache lines, which results in double the number of the cache lines that need to be transferred among CPUs. This can be fixed by requiring call_single_data to be aligned with the size of call_single_data. Currently the size of call_single_data is the power of 2. If we add new fields to call_single_data, we may need to add padding to make sure the size of new definition is the power of 2 as well. Fortunately, this is enforced by GCC, which will report bad sizes. To set alignment requirements of call_single_data to the size of call_single_data, a struct definition and a typedef is used. To test the effect of the patch, I used the vm-scalability multiple thread swap test case (swap-w-seq-mt). The test will create multiple threads and each thread will eat memory until all RAM and part of swap is used, so that huge number of IPIs are triggered when unmapping memory. In the test, the throughput of memory writing improves ~5% compared with misaligned call_single_data, because of faster IPIs.

Tim Chen and Kan Liang have been battling a customer load that shows extremely long page wakeup lists. The cause seems to be constant NUMA migration of a hot page that is shared across a lot of threads, but the actual root cause for the exact behavior has not been found. Tim has a patch that batches the wait list traversal at wakeup time, so that we at least don't get long uninterruptible cases where we traverse and wake up thousands of processes and get nasty latency spikes. That is likely 4.14 material, but we're still discussing the page waitqueue specific parts of it. In the meantime, I've tried to look at making the page wait queues less expensive, and failing miserably. If you have thousands of threads waiting for the same page, it will be painful. We'll need to try to figure out the NUMA balancing issue some day, in addition to avoiding the excessive spinlock hold times. That said, having tried to rewrite the page wait queues, I can at least fix up some of the braindamage in the current situation. In particular: (a) we don't want to continue walking the page wait list if the bit we're waiting for already got set again (which seems to be one of the patterns of the bad load). That makes no progress and just causes pointless cache pollution chasing the pointers. (b) we don't want to put the non-locking waiters always on the front of the queue, and the locking waiters always on the back. Not only is that unfair, it means that we wake up thousands of reading threads that will just end up being blocked by the writer later anyway. Also add a comment about the layout of 'struct wait_page_key' - there is an external user of it in the cachefiles code that means that it has to match the layout of 'struct wait_bit_key' in the two first members. It so happens to match, because 'struct page *' and 'unsigned long *' end up having the same values simply because the page flags are the first member in struct page.

Currently we unconditionally destroy all sysctl bits and regenerate them after we've rebuild the domains (even if that rebuild is a no-op). And since we unconditionally (re)build the sysctl for all possible CPUs, onlining all CPUs gets us O(n^2) time. Instead change this to only rebuild the bits for CPUs we've actually installed new domains on.

Implement MEMBARRIER_CMD_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED with IPIs using cpumask built from all runqueues for which current thread's mm is the same as the thread calling sys_membarrier. It executes faster than the non-expedited variant (no blocking). It also works on NOHZ_FULL configurations. Scheduler-wise, it requires a memory barrier before and after context switching between processes (which have different mm). The memory barrier before context switch is already present. For the barrier after context switch: * Our TSO archs can do RELEASE without being a full barrier. Look at x86 spin_unlock() being a regular STORE for example. But for those archs, all atomics imply smp_mb and all of them have atomic ops in switch_mm() for mm_cpumask(), and on x86 the CR3 load acts as a full barrier. * From all weakly ordered machines, only ARM64 and PPC can do RELEASE, the rest does indeed do smp_mb(), so there the spin_unlock() is a full barrier and we're good. * ARM64 has a very heavy barrier in switch_to(), which suffices. * PPC just removed its barrier from switch_to(), but appears to be talking about adding something to switch_mm(). So add a smp_mb__after_unlock_lock() for now, until this is settled on the PPC side. Changes since v3: - Properly document the memory barriers provided by each architecture. Changes since v2: - Address comments from Peter Zijlstra, - Add smp_mb__after_unlock_lock() after finish_lock_switch() in finish_task_switch() to add the memory barrier we need after storing to rq->curr. This is much simpler than the previous approach relying on atomic_dec_and_test() in mmdrop(), which actually added a memory barrier in the common case of switching between userspace processes. - Return -EINVAL when MEMBARRIER_CMD_SHARED is used on a nohz_full kernel, rather than having the whole membarrier system call returning -ENOSYS. Indeed, CMD_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED is compatible with nohz_full. Adapt the CMD_QUERY mask accordingly. Changes since v1: - move membarrier code under kernel/sched/ because it uses the scheduler runqueue, - only add the barrier when we switch from a kernel thread. The case where we switch from a user-space thread is already handled by the atomic_dec_and_test() in mmdrop(). - add a comment to mmdrop() documenting the requirement on the implicit memory barrier.

The complete_all() function modifies the completion's "done" variable to UINT_MAX, and no other caller (wait_for_completion(), etc) will modify it back to zero. That means that any call to complete_all() must have a reinit_completion() before that completion can be used again. Document this fact by the complete_all() function.

In commit: 3fed382b ("sched/numa: Implement NUMA node level wake_affine()") Rik changed wake_affine to consider NUMA information when balancing between LLC domains. There are a number of problems here which this patch tries to address: - LLC < NODE; in this case we'd use the wrong information to balance - !NUMA_BALANCING: in this case, the new code doesn't do any balancing at all - re-computes the NUMA data for every wakeup, this can mean iterating up to 64 CPUs for every wakeup. - default affine wakeups inside a cache We address these by saving the load/capacity values for each sched_domain during regular load-balance and using these values in wake_affine_llc(). The obvious down-side to using cached values is that they can be too old and poorly reflect reality. But this way we can use LLC wide information and thus not rely on assuming LLC matches NODE. We also don't rely on NUMA_BALANCING nor do we have to aggegate two nodes (or even cache domains) worth of CPUs for each wakeup.

Since its inception, our understanding of ACQUIRE, esp. as applied to spinlocks, has changed somewhat. Also, I wonder if, with a simple change, we cannot make it provide more. The problem with the comment is that the STORE done by spin_lock isn't itself ordered by the ACQUIRE, and therefore a later LOAD can pass over it and cross with any prior STORE, rendering the default WMB insufficient (pointed out by Alan). Now, this is only really a problem on PowerPC and ARM64, both of which already defined smp_mb__before_spinlock() as a smp_mb(). At the same time, we can get a much stronger construct if we place that same barrier _inside_ the spin_lock(). In that case we upgrade the RCpc spinlock to an RCsc. That would make all schedule() calls fully transitive against one another.

Steven Rostedt reported a potential race in RCU core because of swake_up(): CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- __call_rcu_core() { spin_lock(rnp_root) need_wake = __rcu_start_gp() { rcu_start_gp_advanced() { gp_flags = FLAG_INIT } } rcu_gp_kthread() { swait_event_interruptible(wq, gp_flags & FLAG_INIT) { spin_lock(q->lock) *fetch wq->task_list here! * list_add(wq->task_list, q->task_list) spin_unlock(q->lock); *fetch old value of gp_flags here * spin_unlock(rnp_root) rcu_gp_kthread_wake() { swake_up(wq) { swait_active(wq) { list_empty(wq->task_list) } * return false * if (condition) * false * schedule(); In this case, a wakeup is missed, which could cause the rcu_gp_kthread waits for a long time. The reason of this is that we do a lockless swait_active() check in swake_up(). To fix this, we can either 1) add a smp_mb() in swake_up() before swait_active() to provide the proper order or 2) simply remove the swait_active() in swake_up(). The solution 2 not only fixes this problem but also keeps the swait and wait API as close as possible, as wake_up() doesn't provide a full barrier and doesn't do a lockless check of the wait queue either. Moreover, there are users already using swait_active() to do their quick checks for the wait queues, so it make less sense that swake_up() and swake_up_all() do this on their own. This patch then removes the lockless swait_active() check in swake_up() and swake_up_all().

It appears as though the addition of the PID namespace did not update the output code for /proc/*/sched, which resulted in it providing PIDs that were not self-consistent with the /proc mount. This additionally made it trivial to detect whether a process was inside &init_pid_ns from userspace, making container detection trivial: https://github.com/jessfraz/amicontained This leads to situations such as: % unshare -pmf % mount -t proc proc /proc % head -n1 /proc/1/sched head (10047, #threads: 1) Fix this by just using task_pid_nr_ns for the output of /proc/*/sched.

When cpudl_find() returns any among free_cpus, the CPU might not be closer than others, considering sched domain. For example: this_cpu: 15 free_cpus: 0, 1,..., 14 (== later_mask) best_cpu: 0 topology: 0 --+ +--+ 1 --+ | +-- ... --+ 2 --+ | | +--+ | 3 --+ | ... ... 12 --+ | +--+ | 13 --+ | | +-- ... -+ 14 --+ | +--+ 15 --+ In this case, it would be best to select 14 since it's a free CPU and closest to 15 (this_cpu). However, currently the code selects 0 (best_cpu) even though that's just any among free_cpus. Fix it. This (re)aligns the deadline behaviour with the rt behaviour.

Running 80 tasks in the same group, or as threads of the same process, results in the memory getting scanned 80x as fast as it would be if a single task was using the memory. This really hurts some workloads. Scale the scan period by the number of tasks in the numa group, and the shared / private ratio, so the average rate at which memory in the group is scanned corresponds roughly to the rate at which a single task would scan its memory.

The comment above update_task_scan_period() says the scan period should be increased (scanning slows down) if the majority of memory accesses are on the local node, or if the majority of the page accesses are shared with other tasks. However, with the current code, all a high ratio of shared accesses does is slow down the rate at which scanning is made faster. This patch changes things so either lots of shared accesses or lots of local accesses will slow down scanning, and numa scanning is sped up only when there are lots of private faults on remote memory pages.

The running state is a subset of runnable state which means that running can't be set if runnable (weight) is cleared. There are corner cases where the current sched_entity has been already dequeued but cfs_rq->curr has not been updated yet and still points to the dequeued sched_entity. If ___update_load_avg() is called at that time, weight will be 0 and running will be set which is not possible. This case happens during pick_next_task_fair() when a cfs_rq becomes idles. The current sched_entity has been dequeued so se->on_rq is cleared and cfs_rq->weight is null. But cfs_rq->curr still points to se (it will be cleared when picking the idle thread). Because the cfs_rq becomes idle, idle_balance() is called and ends up to call update_blocked_averages() with these wrong running and runnable states. Add a test in ___update_load_avg() to correct the running state in this case.

For SMP systems, update_load_avg() calls the cpufreq update util handlers only for the top level cfs_rq (i.e. rq->cfs). But that is not the case for UP systems. update_load_avg() calls util handler for any cfs_rq for which it is called. This would result in way too many calls from the scheduler to the cpufreq governors when CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED is enabled. Reduce the frequency of these calls by copying the behavior from the SMP case, i.e. Only call util handlers for the top level cfs_rq.

Per-cpu workqueues have been tripping CPU affinity sanity checks while a CPU is being offlined. A per-cpu kworker ends up running on a CPU which isn't its target CPU while the CPU is online but inactive. While the scheduler allows kthreads to wake up on an online but inactive CPU, it doesn't allow a running kthread to be migrated to such a CPU, which leads to an odd situation where setting affinity on a sleeping and running kthread leads to different results. Each mem-reclaim workqueue has one rescuer which guarantees forward progress and the rescuer needs to bind itself to the CPU which needs help in making forward progress; however, due to the above issue, while set_cpus_allowed_ptr() succeeds, the rescuer doesn't end up on the correct CPU if the CPU is in the process of going offline, tripping the sanity check and executing the work item on the wrong CPU. This patch updates __migrate_task() so that kthreads can be migrated into an inactive but online CPU. Signed-off-by: NTejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Reported-by: N"Paul E.

With a shared policy in place, when one of the CPUs in the policy is hotplugged out and then brought back online, sugov_stop() and sugov_start() are called in order. sugov_stop() removes utilization hooks for each CPU in the policy and does nothing else in the for_each_cpu() loop. sugov_start() on the other hand iterates through the CPUs in the policy and re-initializes the per-cpu structure _and_ adds the utilization hook. This implies that the scheduler is allowed to invoke a CPU's utilization update hook when the rest of the per-cpu structures have yet to be re-inited. Apart from some strange values in tracepoints this doesn't cause a problem, but if we do end up accessing a pointer from the per-cpu sugov_cpu structure somewhere in the sugov_update_shared() path, we will likely see crashes since the memset for another CPU in the policy is free to race with sugov_update_shared from the CPU that is ready to go. So let's fix this now to first init all per-cpu structures, and then add the per-cpu utilization update hooks all at once.

If load_balance() fails to migrate any tasks because all tasks were affined, load_balance() removes the source CPU from consideration and attempts to redo and balance among the new subset of CPUs. There is a bug in this code path where the algorithm considers all active CPUs in the system (minus the source that was just masked out). This is not valid for two reasons: some active CPUs may not be in the current scheduling domain and one of the active CPUs is dst_cpu. These CPUs should not be considered, as we cannot pull load from them. Instead of failing out of load_balance(), we may end up redoing the search with no valid CPUs and incorrectly concluding the domain is balanced. Additionally, if the group_imbalance flag was just set, it may also be incorrectly unset, thus the flag will not be seen by other CPUs in future load_balance() runs as that algorithm intends. Fix the check by removing CPUs not in the current domain and the dst_cpu from considertation, thus limiting the evaluation to valid remaining CPUs from which load might be migrated.

Currently the cputime source used by vtime is jiffies. When we cross a context boundary and jiffies have changed since the last snapshot, the pending cputime is accounted to the switching out context. This system works ok if the ticks are not aligned across CPUs. If they instead are aligned (ie: all fire at the same time) and the CPUs run in userspace, the jiffies change is only observed on tick exit and therefore the user cputime is accounted as system cputime. This is because the CPU that maintains timekeeping fires its tick at the same time as the others. It updates jiffies in the middle of the tick and the other CPUs see that update on IRQ exit: CPU 0 (timekeeper) CPU 1 ------------------- ------------- jiffies = N ... run in userspace for a jiffy tick entry tick entry (sees jiffies = N) set jiffies = N + 1 tick exit tick exit (sees jiffies = N + 1) account 1 jiffy as stime Fix this with using a nanosec clock source instead of jiffies. The cputime is then accumulated and flushed everytime the pending delta reaches a jiffy in order to mitigate the accounting overhead.
