From 4fc420c91f53e0a9f95665c6b14a1983716081e7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daisuke Nishimura Date: Thu, 15 Dec 2011 14:36:55 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] sched: Fix cgroup movement of forking process There is a small race between task_fork_fair() and sched_move_task(), which is trying to move the parent. task_fork_fair() sched_move_task() --------------------------------+--------------------------------- cfs_rq = task_cfs_rq(current) -> cfs_rq is the "old" one. curr = cfs_rq->curr -> curr is set to the parent. task_rq_lock() dequeue_task() ->parent.se.vruntime -= (old)cfs_rq->min_vruntime enqueue_task() ->parent.se.vruntime += (new)cfs_rq->min_vruntime task_rq_unlock() raw_spin_lock_irqsave(rq->lock) se->vruntime = curr->vruntime -> vruntime of the child is set to that of the parent which has already been updated by sched_move_task(). se->vruntime -= (old)cfs_rq->min_vruntime. raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore(rq->lock) As a result, vruntime of the child becomes far bigger than expected, if (new)cfs_rq->min_vruntime >> (old)cfs_rq->min_vruntime. This patch fixes this problem by setting "cfs_rq" and "curr" after holding the rq->lock.
