William Weston reported unusually high scheduling latencies on his x86 HT box, on the -RT kernel. I managed to reproduce it on my HT box and the latency tracer shows the incident in action: _------=> CPU# / _-----=> irqs-off | / _----=> need-resched || / _---=> hardirq/softirq ||| / _--=> preempt-depth |||| / ||||| delay cmd pid ||||| time | caller \ / ||||| \ | / du-2803 3Dnh2 0us : __trace_start_sched_wakeup (try_to_wake_up) .............................................................. ... we are running on CPU#3, PID 2778 gets woken to CPU#1: ... .............................................................. du-2803 3Dnh2 0us : __trace_start_sched_wakeup <<...>-2778> (73 1) du-2803 3Dnh2 0us : _raw_spin_unlock (try_to_wake_up) ................................................ ... still on CPU#3, we send an IPI to CPU#1: ... ................................................ du-2803 3Dnh1 0us : resched_task (try_to_wake_up) du-2803 3Dnh1 1us : smp_send_reschedule (try_to_wake_up) du-2803 3Dnh1 1us : send_IPI_mask_bitmask (smp_send_reschedule) du-2803 3Dnh1 2us : _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore (try_to_wake_up) ............................................... ... 1 usec later, the IPI arrives on CPU#1: ... ............................................... <idle>-0 1Dnh. 2us : smp_reschedule_interrupt (c0100c5a 0 0) So far so good, this is the normal wakeup/preemption mechanism.

But timeslices go up and down, and even highprio tasks can randomly have very low timeslices (just before their next refill) and can thus be judged as 'lowprio' by the above piece of code. This condition is clearly buggy. The correct test is to check for static_prio _and_ to check for the preemption priority. Even on different static priority levels, a higher-prio interactive task should not be delayed due to a higher-static-prio CPU hog. There is a symmetric bug in the 'kick SMT sibling' code of this function as well, which can be solved in a similar way. The patch below (against the current scheduler queue in -mm) fixes both bugs. I have build and boot-tested this on x86 SMT, and nice +20 tasks still get properly throttled - so the dependent-sleeper logic is still in action. btw., these bugs pessimised the SMT scheduler because the 'delay wakeup' property was applied too liberally, so this fix is likely a throughput improvement as well. I separated out a smt_slice() function to make the code easier to read.

This patch implements a task state bit (TASK_NONINTERACTIVE), which can be used by blocking points to mark the task's wait as "non-interactive". This does not mean the task will be considered a CPU-hog - the wait will simply not have an effect on the waiting task's priority - positive or negative alike. Right now only pipe_wait() will make use of it, because it's a common source of not-so-interactive waits (kernel compilation jobs, etc.).

The hyperthread aware nice handling currently puts to sleep any non real time task when a real time task is running on its sibling cpu. This can lead to prolonged starvation by having the non real time task pegged to the cpu with load balancing not pulling that task away. Currently we force lower priority hyperthread tasks to run a percentage of time difference based on timeslice differences which is meaningless when comparing real time tasks to SCHED_NORMAL tasks. We can allow non real time tasks to run with real time tasks on the sibling up to per_cpu_gain% if we use jiffies as a counter. Cleanups and micro-optimisations to the relevant code section should make it more understandable as well.

The cpusets-formalize-intermediate-gfp_kernel-containment patch has a deadlock problem. This patch was part of a set of four patches to make more extensive use of the cpuset 'mem_exclusive' attribute to manage kernel GFP_KERNEL memory allocations and to constrain the out-of-memory (oom) killer. A task that is changing cpusets in particular ways on a system when it is very short of free memory could double trip over the global cpuset_sem semaphore (get the lock and then deadlock trying to get it again). The second attempt to get cpuset_sem would be in the routine cpuset_zone_allowed(). This was discovered by code inspection. I can not reproduce the problem except with an artifically hacked kernel and a specialized stress test. In real life you cannot hit this unless you are manipulating cpusets, and are very unlikely to hit it unless you are rapidly modifying cpusets on a memory tight system. Even then it would be a rare occurence. If you did hit it, the task double tripping over cpuset_sem would deadlock in the kernel, and any other task also trying to manipulate cpusets would deadlock there too, on cpuset_sem. Your batch manager would be wedged solid (if it was cpuset savvy), but classic Unix shells and utilities would work well enough to reboot the system. The unusual condition that led to this bug is that unlike most semaphores, cpuset_sem _can_ be acquired while in the page allocation code, when __alloc_pages() calls cpuset_zone_allowed. So it easy to mistakenly perform the following sequence: 1) task makes system call to alter a cpuset 2) take cpuset_sem 3) try to allocate memory 4) memory allocator, via cpuset_zone_allowed, trys to take cpuset_sem 5) deadlock The reason that this is not a serious bug for most users is that almost all calls to allocate memory don't require taking cpuset_sem. Only some code paths off the beaten track require taking cpuset_sem -- which is good. Taking a global semaphore on the main code path for allocating memory would not scale well. This patch fixes this deadlock by wrapping the up() and down() calls on cpuset_sem in kernel/cpuset.c with code that tracks the nesting depth of the current task on that semaphore, and only does the real down() if the task doesn't hold the lock already, and only does the real up() if the nesting depth (number of unmatched downs) is exactly one. The previous required use of refresh_mems(), anytime that the cpuset_sem semaphore was acquired and the code executed while holding that semaphore might try to allocate memory, is no longer required. Two refresh_mems() calls were removed thanks to this. This is a good change, as failing to get all the necessary refresh_mems() calls placed was a primary source of bugs in this cpuset code. The only remaining call to refresh_mems() is made while doing a memory allocation, if certain task memory placement data needs to be updated from its cpuset, due to the cpuset having been changed behind the tasks back.

This patch (written by me and also containing many suggestions of Arjan van de Ven) does a major cleanup of the spinlock code. It does the following things: - consolidates and enhances the spinlock/rwlock debugging code - simplifies the asm/spinlock.h files - encapsulates the raw spinlock type and moves generic spinlock features (such as ->break_lock) into the generic code. - cleans up the spinlock code hierarchy to get rid of the spaghetti. Most notably there's now only a single variant of the debugging code, located in lib/spinlock_debug.c. (previously we had one SMP debugging variant per architecture, plus a separate generic one for UP builds) Also, i've enhanced the rwlock debugging facility, it will now track write-owners. There is new spinlock-owner/CPU-tracking on SMP builds too. All locks have lockup detection now, which will work for both soft and hard spin/rwlock lockups. The arch-level include files now only contain the minimally necessary subset of the spinlock code - all the rest that can be generalized now lives in the generic headers: include/asm-i386/spinlock_types.h | 16 include/asm-x86_64/spinlock_types.h | 16 I have also split up the various spinlock variants into separate files, making it easier to see which does what. The new layout is: SMP | UP ----------------------------|----------------------------------- asm/spinlock_types_smp.h | linux/spinlock_types_up.h linux/spinlock_types.h | linux/spinlock_types.h asm/spinlock_smp.h | linux/spinlock_up.h linux/spinlock_api_smp.h | linux/spinlock_api_up.h linux/spinlock.h | linux/spinlock.h /* * here's the role of the various spinlock/rwlock related include files: * * on SMP builds: * * asm/spinlock_types.h: contains the raw_spinlock_t/raw_rwlock_t and the * initializers * * linux/spinlock_types.h: * defines the generic type and initializers * * asm/spinlock.h: contains the __raw_spin_*()/etc. lowlevel * implementations, mostly inline assembly code * * (also included on UP-debug builds:) * * linux/spinlock_api_smp.h: * contains the prototypes for the _spin_*() APIs. * * linux/spinlock.h: builds the final spin_*() APIs. * * on UP builds: * * linux/spinlock_type_up.h: * contains the generic, simplified UP spinlock type. * (which is an empty structure on non-debug builds) * * linux/spinlock_types.h: * defines the generic type and initializers * * linux/spinlock_up.h: * contains the __raw_spin_*()/etc. version of UP * builds.

From: Grant Grundler <grundler@parisc-linux.org> Booted and lightly tested on a500-44 (64-bit, SMP kernel, dual CPU). Builds 32-bit SMP kernel (not booted or tested). I did not try to build non-SMP kernels. That should be trivial to fix up later if necessary. I converted bit ops atomic_hash lock to raw_spinlock_t. Doing so avoids some ugly nesting of linux/*.h and asm/*.h files. Those particular locks are well tested and contained entirely inside arch specific code. I do NOT expect any new issues to arise with them. If someone does ever need to use debug/metrics with them, then they will need to unravel this hairball between spinlocks, atomic ops, and bit ops that exist only because parisc has exactly one atomic instruction: LDCW (load and clear word).

[PATCH] md: make sure the new 'sb_size' is set properly device added without pre-existing superblock. There are two ways to add devices to an md/raid array. It can have superblock written to it, and then given to the md driver, which will read the superblock (the new way) or md can be told (through SET_ARRAY_INFO) the shape of the array, and the told about individual drives, and md will create the required superblock (the old way). The newly introduced sb_size was only set for drives being added the new way, not the old ways.

Most awkward part of this is delaying write requests until bitmap updates have been flushed. To achieve this, we have a sequence number (seq_flush) which is incremented each time the raid5 is unplugged. If the raid thread notices that this has changed, it flushes bitmap changes, and assigned the value of seq_flush to seq_write. When a write request arrives, it is given the number from seq_write, and that write request may not complete until seq_flush is larger than the saved seq number. We have a new queue for storing stripes which are waiting for a bitmap flush and an extra flag for stripes to record if the write was 'degraded' and so should not clear the a bit in the bitmap.

linear currently uses division by the size of the smallest componenet device to find which device a request goes to. If that smallest device is larger than 2 terabytes, then the division will not work on some systems.

If a device is flagged 'WriteMostly' and the array has a bitmap, and the bitmap superblock indicates that write_behind is allowed, then write_behind is enabled for WriteMostly devices. Write requests will be acknowledges as complete to the caller (via b_end_io) when all non-WriteMostly devices have completed the write, but will not be cleared from the bitmap until all devices complete. This requires memory allocation to make a local copy of the data being written. If there is insufficient memory, then we fall-back on normal write semantics.

Fix another bug in dm-raid1.c that the dirty region may stay in or be moved to clean list and freed while in use. It happens as follows: CPU0 CPU1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ rh_dec() if (atomic_dec_and_test(pending)) <the region is still marked dirty> rh_inc() if the region is clean mark the region dirty and remove from clean list mark the region clean and move to clean list atomic_inc(pending) At this stage, the region is in clean list and will be mistakenly reclaimed by rh_update_states() later.

'this_sector' is a virtual (array) address while 'head_position' is a physical (device) address, so substraction doesn't make any sense. devs[slot].addr should be used instead of this_sector. However, this patch doesn't make much practical different to the read balancing due to the effects of later code.
