sched_rr_get_param calls task->sched_class->get_rr_interval(task) without protection against a concurrent sched_setscheduler() call which modifies task->sched_class. Serialize the access with task_rq_lock(task) and hand the rq pointer into get_rr_interval() as it's needed at least in the sched_fair implementation.

When waking affine, check for an idle shared cache, and if found, wake to that CPU/sibling instead of the waker's CPU. This improves pgsql+oltp ramp up by roughly 8%. Possibly more for other loads, depending on overlap. The trade-off is a roughly 1% peak downturn if tasks are truly synchronous.

This patch restores the effectiveness of LAST_BUDDY in preventing pgsql+oltp from collapsing due to wakeup preemption. It also switches LAST_BUDDY to exclusively do what it does best, namely mitigate the effects of aggressive wakeup preemption, which improves vmark throughput markedly, and restores mysql+oltp scalability. Since buddies are about scalability, enable them beginning at the point where we begin expanding sched_latency, namely sched_nr_latency. Previously, buddies were cleared aggressively, which seriously reduced their effectiveness. Not clearing aggressively however, produces a small drop in mysql+oltp throughput immediately after peak, indicating that LAST_BUDDY is actually doing some harm. This is right at the point where X on the desktop in competition with another load wants low latency service. Ergo, do not enable until we need to scale. To mitigate latency induced by buddies, or by a task just missing wakeup preemption, check latency at tick time. Last hunk prevents buddies from stymieing BALANCE_NEWIDLE via CACHE_HOT_BUDDY.

Yanmin reported a hackbench regression due to: > commit de69a80b > Author: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> > Date: Thu Sep 17 09:01:20 2009 +0200 > > sched: Stop buddies from hogging the system I really liked de69a80b, and it affecting hackbench shows I wasn't crazy ;-) So hackbench is a multi-cast, with one sender spraying multiple receivers, who in their turn don't spray back. This would be exactly the scenario that patch 'cures'. Previously we would not clear the last buddy after running the next task, allowing the sender to get back to work sooner than it otherwise ought to have been, increasing latencies for other tasks. Now, since those receivers don't poke back, they don't enforce the buddy relation, which means there's nothing to re-elect the sender. Cure this by less agressively clearing the buddy stats. Only clear buddies when they were not chosen. It should still avoid a buddy sticking around long after its served its time.

I plugged it back in where it looks like it needs to go, and now when I say "sit, stay!", mplayer obeys again. 'c88d5910 sched: Merge select_task_rq_fair() and sched_balance_self()' accidentally dropped the check, causing wake_affine() to pull pinned tasks - put it back.

Clear buddies more agressively. The (theoretical, haven't actually observed any of this) problem is that when we do not select either buddy in pick_next_entity() because they are too far ahead of the left-most task, we do not clear the buddies. This means that as soon as we service the left-most task, these same buddies will be tried again on the next schedule. Now if the left-most task was a pure hog, it wouldn't have done any wakeups and it wouldn't have set buddies of its own. That leads to the old buddies dominating, which would lead to bad latencies.

The problem with wake_idle() is that is doesn't respect things like cpu_power, which means it doesn't deal well with SMT nor the recent RT interaction. To cure this, it needs to do what sched_balance_self() does, which leads to the possibility of merging select_task_rq_fair() and sched_balance_self(). Modify sched_balance_self() to: - update_shares() when walking up the domain tree, (it only called it for the top domain, but it should have done this anyway), which allows us to remove this ugly bit from try_to_wake_up(). - do wake_affine() on the smallest domain that contains both this (the waking) and the prev (the wakee) cpu for WAKE invocations. Then use the top-down balance steps it had to replace wake_idle(). This leads to the dissapearance of SD_WAKE_BALANCE and SD_WAKE_IDLE_FAR, with SD_WAKE_IDLE replaced with SD_BALANCE_WAKE. SD_WAKE_AFFINE needs SD_BALANCE_WAKE to be effective. Touch all topology bits to replace the old with new SD flags -- platforms might need re-tuning, enabling SD_BALANCE_WAKE conditionally on a NUMA distance seems like a good additional feature, magny-core and small nehalem systems would want this enabled, systems with slow interconnects would not.

A fork/exec load is usually "pass the baton", so the child should never be placed behind the parent. With START_DEBIT we make room for the new task, but with child_runs_first, that room comes out of the _parent's_ hide. There's nothing to say that the parent wasn't ahead of min_vruntime at fork() time, which means that the "baton carrier", who is essentially the parent in drag, can gain time and increase scheduling latencies for waiters. With NEW_FAIR_SLEEPERS + START_DEBIT + child_runs_first enabled, we essentially pass the sleeper fairness off to the child, which is fine, but if we don't base placement on the parent's updated vruntime, we can end up compounding latency woes if the child itself then does fork/exec. The debit incurred at fork doesn't hurt the parent who is then going to sleep and maybe exit, but the child who acquires the error harms all comers. This improves latencies of make -j<n> kernel build workloads.

wake_affine() would always fail under low-load situations where both prev and this were idle, because adding a single task will always be a significant imbalance, even if there's nothing around that could balance it. Deal with this by allowing imbalance when there's nothing you can do about it.

select_task_rq_fair() incorrectly skips the wake_affine() logic, remove this. When prev_cpu == this_cpu, the code jumps straight to the wake_idle() logic, this doesn't give the wake_affine() logic the chance to pin the task to this cpu.
