Add a working sysctl to enable/disable automatic numa memory balancing at runtime. This allows us to track down performance problems with this feature and is generally a good idea. This was possible earlier through debugfs, but only with special debugging options set. Also fix the boot message.

This patch adds three tracepoints o trace_sched_move_numa when a task is moved to a node o trace_sched_swap_numa when a task is swapped with another task o trace_sched_stick_numa when a numa-related migration fails The tracepoints allow the NUMA scheduler activity to be monitored and the following high-level metrics can be calculated o NUMA migrated stuck nr trace_sched_stick_numa o NUMA migrated idle nr trace_sched_move_numa o NUMA migrated swapped nr trace_sched_swap_numa o NUMA local swapped trace_sched_swap_numa src_nid == dst_nid (should never happen) o NUMA remote swapped trace_sched_swap_numa src_nid != dst_nid (should == NUMA migrated swapped) o NUMA group swapped trace_sched_swap_numa src_ngid == dst_ngid Maybe a small number of these are acceptable but a high number would be a major surprise. It would be even worse if bounces are frequent. o NUMA avg task migs. Average number of migrations for tasks o NUMA stddev task mig Self-explanatory o NUMA max task migs. Maximum number of migrations for a single task In general the intent of the tracepoints is to help diagnose problems where automatic NUMA balancing appears to be doing an excessive amount of useless work.

With the introduction of sched_attr::sched_nice we need to check if we've got permission to actually change the nice value. Daniel found that can_nice() would always fail; and upon inspection it turns out that can_nice() only tests to see if we can lower the nice value, but it doesn't validate if we're lowering or not. Therefore amend the test to only call can_nice() when we lower the nice value.

With various drivers wanting to inject idle time; we get people calling idle routines outside of the idle loop proper. Therefore we need to be extra careful about not missing TIF_NEED_RESCHED -> PREEMPT_NEED_RESCHED propagations. While looking at this, I also realized there's a small window in the existing idle loop where we can miss TIF_NEED_RESCHED; when it hits right after the tif_need_resched() test at the end of the loop but right before the need_resched() test at the start of the loop. So move preempt_fold_need_resched() out of the loop where we're guaranteed to have TIF_NEED_RESCHED set.

Remove the deadline specific sysctls for now. The problem with them is that the interaction with the exisiting rt knobs is nearly impossible to get right. The current (as per before this patch) situation is that the rt and dl bandwidth is completely separate and we enforce rt+dl < 100%. This is undesirable because this means that the rt default of 95% leaves us hardly any room, even though dl tasks are saver than rt tasks. Another proposed solution was (a discarted patch) to have the dl bandwidth be a fraction of the rt bandwidth. This is highly confusing imo. Furthermore neither proposal is consistent with the situation we actually want; which is rt tasks ran from a dl server. In which case the rt bandwidth is a direct subset of dl. So whichever way we go, the introduction of dl controls at this point is painful. Therefore remove them and instead share the rt budget. This means that for now the rt knobs are used for dl admission control and the dl runtime is accounted against the rt runtime. I realise that this isn't entirely desirable either; but whatever we do we appear to need to change the interface later, so better have a small interface for now.

For now deadline tasks are not allowed to set smp affinity; however the current tests are wrong, cure this. The test in __sched_setscheduler() also uses an on-stack cpumask_t which is a no-no. Change both tests to use cpumask_subset() such that we test the root domain span to be a subset of the cpus_allowed mask. This way we're sure the tasks can always run on all CPUs they can be balanced over, and have no effective affinity constraints.

Data from tests confirmed that the original active load balancing logic didn't scale neither in the number of CPU nor in the number of tasks (as sched_rt does). Here we provide a global data structure to keep track of deadlines of the running tasks in the system. The structure is composed by a bitmask showing the free CPUs and a max-heap, needed when the system is heavily loaded. The implementation and concurrent access scheme are kept simple by design. However, our measurements show that we can compete with sched_rt on large multi-CPUs machines [1]. Only the push path is addressed, the extension to use this structure also for pull decisions is straightforward. However, we are currently evaluating different (in order to decrease/avoid contention) data structures to solve possibly both problems. We are also going to re-run tests considering recent changes inside cpupri [2].

In order of deadline scheduling to be effective and useful, it is important that some method of having the allocation of the available CPU bandwidth to tasks and task groups under control. This is usually called "admission control" and if it is not performed at all, no guarantee can be given on the actual scheduling of the -deadline tasks. Since when RT-throttling has been introduced each task group have a bandwidth associated to itself, calculated as a certain amount of runtime over a period. Moreover, to make it possible to manipulate such bandwidth, readable/writable controls have been added to both procfs (for system wide settings) and cgroupfs (for per-group settings). Therefore, the same interface is being used for controlling the bandwidth distrubution to -deadline tasks and task groups, i.e., new controls but with similar names, equivalent meaning and with the same usage paradigm are added. However, more discussion is needed in order to figure out how we want to manage SCHED_DEADLINE bandwidth at the task group level. Therefore, this patch adds a less sophisticated, but actually very sensible, mechanism to ensure that a certain utilization cap is not overcome per each root_domain (the single rq for !SMP configurations). Another main difference between deadline bandwidth management and RT-throttling is that -deadline tasks have bandwidth on their own (while -rt ones doesn't!), and thus we don't need an higher level throttling mechanism to enforce the desired bandwidth. This patch, therefore: - adds system wide deadline bandwidth management by means of: * /proc/sys/kernel/sched_dl_runtime_us, * /proc/sys/kernel/sched_dl_period_us, that determine (i.e., runtime / period) the total bandwidth available on each CPU of each root_domain for -deadline tasks; - couples the RT and deadline bandwidth management, i.e., enforces that the sum of how much bandwidth is being devoted to -rt -deadline tasks to stay below 100%. This means that, for a root_domain comprising M CPUs, -deadline tasks can be created until the sum of their bandwidths stay below: M * (sched_dl_runtime_us / sched_dl_period_us) It is also possible to disable this bandwidth management logic, and be thus free of oversubscribing the system up to any arbitrary level.

Some method to deal with rt-mutexes and make sched_dl interact with the current PI-coded is needed, raising all but trivial issues, that needs (according to us) to be solved with some restructuring of the pi-code (i.e., going toward a proxy execution-ish implementation). This is under development, in the meanwhile, as a temporary solution, what this commits does is: - ensure a pi-lock owner with waiters is never throttled down. Instead, when it runs out of runtime, it immediately gets replenished and it's deadline is postponed; - the scheduling parameters (relative deadline and default runtime) used for that replenishments --during the whole period it holds the pi-lock-- are the ones of the waiting task with earliest deadline. Acting this way, we provide some kind of boosting to the lock-owner, still by using the existing (actually, slightly modified by the previous commit) pi-architecture. We would stress the fact that this is only a surely needed, all but clean solution to the problem. In the end it's only a way to re-start discussion within the community.

Turn the pi-chains from plist to rb-tree, in the rt_mutex code, and provide a proper comparison function for -deadline and -priority tasks. This is done mainly because: - classical prio field of the plist is just an int, which might not be enough for representing a deadline; - manipulating such a list would become O(nr_deadline_tasks), which might be to much, as the number of -deadline task increases. Therefore, an rb-tree is used, and tasks are queued in it according to the following logic: - among two -priority (i.e., SCHED_BATCH/OTHER/RR/FIFO) tasks, the one with the higher (lower, actually!) prio wins; - among a -priority and a -deadline task, the latter always wins; - among two -deadline tasks, the one with the earliest deadline wins. Queueing and dequeueing functions are changed accordingly, for both the list of a task's pi-waiters and the list of tasks blocked on a pi-lock.

Make it possible to specify a period (different or equal than deadline) for -deadline tasks. Relative deadlines (D_i) are used on task arrivals to generate new scheduling (absolute) deadlines as "d = t + D_i", and periods (P_i) to postpone the scheduling deadlines as "d = d + P_i" when the budget is zero.

Introduces data structures relevant for implementing dynamic migration of -deadline tasks and the logic for checking if runqueues are overloaded with -deadline tasks and for choosing where a task should migrate, when it is the case. Adds also dynamic migrations to SCHED_DEADLINE, so that tasks can be moved among CPUs when necessary. It is also possible to bind a task to a (set of) CPU(s), thus restricting its capability of migrating, or forbidding migrations at all. The very same approach used in sched_rt is utilised: - -deadline tasks are kept into CPU-specific runqueues, - -deadline tasks are migrated among runqueues to achieve the following: * on an M-CPU system the M earliest deadline ready tasks are always running; * affinity/cpusets settings of all the -deadline tasks is always respected. Therefore, this very special form of "load balancing" is done with an active method, i.e., the scheduler pushes or pulls tasks between runqueues when they are woken up and/or (de)scheduled. IOW, every time a preemption occurs, the descheduled task might be sent to some other CPU (depending on its deadline) to continue executing (push). On the other hand, every time a CPU becomes idle, it might pull the second earliest deadline ready task from some other CPU. To enforce this, a pull operation is always attempted before taking any scheduling decision (pre_schedule()), as well as a push one after each scheduling decision (post_schedule()). In addition, when a task arrives or wakes up, the best CPU where to resume it is selected taking into account its affinity mask, the system topology, but also its deadline. E.g., from the scheduling point of view, the best CPU where to wake up (and also where to push) a task is the one which is running the task with the latest deadline among the M executing ones. In order to facilitate these decisions, per-runqueue "caching" of the deadlines of the currently running and of the first ready task is used. Queued but not running tasks are also parked in another rb-tree to speed-up pushes.

Introduces the data structures, constants and symbols needed for SCHED_DEADLINE implementation. Core data structure of SCHED_DEADLINE are defined, along with their initializers. Hooks for checking if a task belong to the new policy are also added where they are needed. Adds a scheduling class, in sched/dl.c and a new policy called SCHED_DEADLINE. It is an implementation of the Earliest Deadline First (EDF) scheduling algorithm, augmented with a mechanism (called Constant Bandwidth Server, CBS) that makes it possible to isolate the behaviour of tasks between each other. The typical -deadline task will be made up of a computation phase (instance) which is activated on a periodic or sporadic fashion. The expected (maximum) duration of such computation is called the task's runtime; the time interval by which each instance need to be completed is called the task's relative deadline. The task's absolute deadline is dynamically calculated as the time instant a task (better, an instance) activates plus the relative deadline. The EDF algorithms selects the task with the smallest absolute deadline as the one to be executed first, while the CBS ensures each task to run for at most its runtime every (relative) deadline length time interval, avoiding any interference between different tasks (bandwidth isolation). Thanks to this feature, also tasks that do not strictly comply with the computational model sketched above can effectively use the new policy. To summarize, this patch: - introduces the data structures, constants and symbols needed; - implements the core logic of the scheduling algorithm in the new scheduling class file; - provides all the glue code between the new scheduling class and the core scheduler and refines the interactions between sched/dl and the other existing scheduling classes.

Add the syscalls needed for supporting scheduling algorithms with extended scheduling parameters (e.g., SCHED_DEADLINE). In general, it makes possible to specify a periodic/sporadic task, that executes for a given amount of runtime at each instance, and is scheduled according to the urgency of their own timing constraints, i.e.: - a (maximum/typical) instance execution time, - a minimum interval between consecutive instances, - a time constraint by which each instance must be completed. Thus, both the data structure that holds the scheduling parameters of the tasks and the system calls dealing with it must be extended. Unfortunately, modifying the existing struct sched_param would break the ABI and result in potentially serious compatibility issues with legacy binaries. For these reasons, this patch: - defines the new struct sched_attr, containing all the fields that are necessary for specifying a task in the computational model described above; - defines and implements the new scheduling related syscalls that manipulate it, i.e., sched_setattr() and sched_getattr(). Syscalls are introduced for x86 (32 and 64 bits) and ARM only, as a proof of concept and for developing and testing purposes. Making them available on other architectures is straightforward. Since no "user" for these new parameters is introduced in this patch, the implementation of the new system calls is just identical to their already existing counterpart. Future patches that implement scheduling policies able to exploit the new data structure must also take care of modifying the sched_*attr() calls accordingly with their own purposes.

Commit 42eb088e (sched: Avoid NULL dereference on sd_busy) corrected a NULL dereference on sd_busy but the fix also altered what scheduling domain it used for the 'sd_llc' percpu variable. One impact of this is that a task selecting a runqueue may consider idle CPUs that are not cache siblings as candidates for running. Tasks are then running on CPUs that are not cache hot. This was found through bisection where ebizzy threads were not seeing equal performance and it looked like a scheduling fairness issue.

In preparation of conversion to kernfs, cgroup file handling is updated so that it can be easily mapped to kernfs. This patch replaces cftype->read_seq_string() with cftype->seq_show() which is not limited to single_open() operation and will map directcly to kernfs seq_file interface. The conversions are mechanical. As ->seq_show() doesn't have @css and @cft, the functions which make use of them are converted to use seq_css() and seq_cft() respectively. In several occassions, e.f. if it has seq_string in its name, the function name is updated to fit the new method better. This patch does not introduce any behavior changes.

schedule_debug() ignores in_atomic() if prev->exit_state != 0. This is not what we want, ->exit_state is set by exit_notify() but we should complain until the task does the last schedule() in TASK_DEAD. See also 7407251a "PF_DEAD cleanup", I think this ancient commit explains why schedule() had to rely on ->exit_state, until that commit exit_notify() disabled preemption and set PF_DEAD which was used to detect the exiting task.

Tony reported that aa0d5326 ("ia64: Use preempt_schedule_irq") broke PREEMPT=n builds on ia64. Ok, wrapped my brain around it. I tripped over the magic asm foo which has a single need_resched check and schedule point for both sys call return and interrupt return. So you need the schedule_preempt_irq() for kernel preemption from interrupt return while on a normal syscall preemption a schedule would be sufficient. But using schedule_preempt_irq() is not harmful here in any way. It just sets the preempt_active bit also in cases where it would not be required. Even on preempt=n kernels adding the preempt_active bit is completely harmless. So instead of having an extra function, moving the existing one out of the ifdef PREEMPT looks like the sanest thing to do. It would also allow getting rid of various other sti/schedule/cli asm magic in other archs.

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.

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.

Remove get_online_cpus() usage from the scheduler; there's 4 sites that use it: - sched_init_smp(); where its completely superfluous since we're in 'early' boot and there simply cannot be any hotplugging. - sched_getaffinity(); we already take a raw spinlock to protect the task cpus_allowed mask, this disables preemption and therefore also stabilizes cpu_online_mask as that's modified using stop_machine. 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().

由 Peter Zijlstra 提交于
There is a subtle race in migrate_swap, when task P, on CPU A, decides to swap places with task T, on CPU B. 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. This means that, when migrate_swap checks, task T will be either on the runqueue where it was originally seen, or not on any runqueue at all. Migrate_swap deals correctly with of those cases.
