[ Upstream commit a07db5c0865799ebed1f88be0df50c581fb65029 ]

On !CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED configurations it is currently not possible to
move RT tasks between cgroups to which CPU controller has been attached;
but it is oddly possible to first move tasks around and then make them
RT (setschedule to FIFO/RR).

E.g.:

  # mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu,cpuacct/group1
  # chrt -fp 10 $$
  # echo $$ &gt; /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu,cpuacct/group1/tasks
  bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
  # chrt -op 0 $$
  # echo $$ &gt; /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu,cpuacct/group1/tasks
  # chrt -fp 10 $$
  # cat /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu,cpuacct/group1/tasks
  2345
  2598
  # chrt -p 2345
  pid 2345's current scheduling policy: SCHED_FIFO
  pid 2345's current scheduling priority: 10

Also, as Michal noted, it is currently not possible to enable CPU
controller on unified hierarchy with !CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED (if there
are any kernel RT threads in root cgroup, they can't be migrated to the
newly created CPU controller's root in cgroup_update_dfl_csses()).

Existing code comes with a comment saying the "we don't support RT-tasks
being in separate groups". Such comment is however stale and belongs to
pre-RT_GROUP_SCHED times. Also, it doesn't make much sense for
!RT_GROUP_ SCHED configurations, since checks related to RT bandwidth
are not performed at all in these cases.

Make moving RT tasks between CPU controller groups viable by removing
special case check for RT (and DEADLINE) tasks.

[ Upstream commit 5b61d50ab4ef590f5e1d4df15cd2cea5f5715308 ]

Bit shift in scale_load() could overflow shares. This patch saturates
it to MAX_SHARES like following sched_group_set_shares().

Example:

 # echo 9223372036854776832 &gt; cpu.shares
 # cat cpu.shares

Before patch: 1024
After pattch: 262144

static_key_{disable,enable}_cpuslocked() functions, which aren't
practical to backport.

<title>sched/core: Allow __sched_setscheduler() in interrupts when PI is not used</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 896bbb2522587e3b8eb2a0d204d43ccc1042a00d upstream.

When priority inheritance was added back in 2.6.18 to sched_setscheduler(), it
added a path to taking an rt-mutex wait_lock, which is not IRQ safe. As PI
is not a common occurrence, lockdep will likely never trigger if
sched_setscheduler was called from interrupt context. A BUG_ON() was added
to trigger if __sched_setscheduler() was ever called from interrupt context
because there was a possibility to take the wait_lock.

Today the wait_lock is irq safe, but the path to taking it in
sched_setscheduler() is the same as the path to taking it from normal
context. The wait_lock is taken with raw_spin_lock_irq() and released with
raw_spin_unlock_irq() which will indiscriminately enable interrupts,
which would be bad in interrupt context.

The problem is that normalize_rt_tasks, which is called by triggering the
sysrq nice-all-RT-tasks was changed to call __sched_setscheduler(), and this
is done from interrupt context!

Now __sched_setscheduler() takes a "pi" parameter that is used to know if
the priority inheritance should be called or not. As the BUG_ON() only cares
about calling the PI code, it should only bug if called from interrupt
context with the "pi" parameter set to true.

[ Upstream commit 6fe1f348b3dd1f700f9630562b7d38afd6949568 ]

When a cgroup's CPU runqueue is destroyed, it should remove its
remaining load accounting from its parent cgroup.

The current site for doing so it unsuited because its far too late and
unordered against other cgroup removal (-&gt;css_free() will be, but we're also
in an RCU callback).

Put it in the -&gt;css_offline() callback, which is the start of cgroup
destruction, right after the group has been made unavailable to
userspace. The -&gt;css_offline() callbacks are called in hierarchical order
after the following v4.4 commit:

This splat cannot be generated by expedited grace periods because they
always invoke resched_cpu() on the current CPU, which is good because
expedited grace periods require that resched_cpu() unconditionally
succeed.  However, other parts of RCU can tolerate resched_cpu() acting
as a no-op, at least as long as it doesn't happen too often.

This commit therefore makes resched_cpu() invoke resched_curr() only if
the CPU is either online or is the current CPU.

<title>sched/rt: Up the root domain ref count when passing it around via IPIs</title>

commit 364f56653708ba8bcdefd4f0da2a42904baa8eeb upstream.

When issuing an IPI RT push, where an IPI is sent to each CPU that has more
than one RT task scheduled on it, it references the root domain's rto_mask,
that contains all the CPUs within the root domain that has more than one RT
task in the runable state. The problem is, after the IPIs are initiated, the
rq-&gt;lock is released. This means that the root domain that is associated to
the run queue could be freed while the IPIs are going around.

Add a sched_get_rd() and a sched_put_rd() that will increment and decrement
the root domain's ref count respectively. This way when initiating the IPIs,
the scheduler will up the root domain's ref count before releasing the
rq-&gt;lock, ensuring that the root domain does not go away until the IPI round
is complete.

<title>sched/deadline: Use the revised wakeup rule for suspending constrained dl tasks</title>

commit 3effcb4247e74a51f5d8b775a1ee4abf87cc089a upstream.

We have been facing some problems with self-suspending constrained
deadline tasks. The main reason is that the original CBS was not
designed for such sort of tasks.

One problem reported by Xunlei Pang takes place when a task
suspends, and then is awakened before the deadline, but so close
to the deadline that its remaining runtime can cause the task
to have an absolute density higher than allowed. In such situation,
the original CBS assumes that the task is facing an early activation,
and so it replenishes the task and set another deadline, one deadline
in the future. This rule works fine for implicit deadline tasks.
Moreover, it allows the system to adapt the period of a task in which
the external event source suffered from a clock drift.

However, this opens the window for bandwidth leakage for constrained
deadline tasks. For instance, a task with the following parameters:

  runtime   = 5 ms
  deadline  = 7 ms
  [density] = 5 / 7 = 0.71
  period    = 1000 ms

If the task runs for 1 ms, and then suspends for another 1ms,
it will be awakened with the following parameters:

  remaining runtime = 4
  laxity = 5

presenting a absolute density of 4 / 5 = 0.80.

In this case, the original CBS would assume the task had an early
wakeup. Then, CBS will reset the runtime, and the absolute deadline will
be postponed by one relative deadline, allowing the task to run.

The problem is that, if the task runs this pattern forever, it will keep
receiving bandwidth, being able to run 1ms every 2ms. Following this
behavior, the task would be able to run 500 ms in 1 sec. Thus running
more than the 5 ms / 1 sec the admission control allowed it to run.

Trying to address the self-suspending case, Luca Abeni, Giuseppe
Lipari, and Juri Lelli [1] revisited the CBS in order to deal with
self-suspending tasks. In the new approach, rather than
replenishing/postponing the absolute deadline, the revised wakeup rule
adjusts the remaining runtime, reducing it to fit into the allowed
density.

A revised version of the idea is:

At a given time t, the maximum absolute density of a task cannot be
higher than its relative density, that is:

  runtime / (deadline - t) &lt;= dl_runtime / dl_deadline

Knowing the laxity of a task (deadline - t), it is possible to move
it to the other side of the equality, thus enabling to define max
remaining runtime a task can use within the absolute deadline, without
over-running the allowed density:

  runtime = (dl_runtime / dl_deadline) * (deadline - t)

For instance, in our previous example, the task could still run:

  runtime = ( 5 / 7 ) * 5
  runtime = 3.57 ms

Without causing damage for other deadline tasks. It is note worthy
that the laxity cannot be negative because that would cause a negative
runtime. Thus, this patch depends on the patch:

  df8eac8cafce ("sched/deadline: Throttle a constrained deadline task activated after the deadline")

Which throttles a constrained deadline task activated after the
deadline.

Finally, it is also possible to use the revised wakeup rule for
all other tasks, but that would require some more discussions
about pros and cons.

[The main difference from the original commit is that
 the BW_SHIFT define was not present yet. As BW_SHIFT was
 introduced in a new feature, I just used the value (20),
 likewise we used to use before the #define.
 Other changes were required because of comments. - bistrot]

commit 252d2a4117bc181b287eeddf848863788da733ae upstream.

idle_task_exit() can be called with IRQs on x86 on and therefore
should use switch_mm(), not switch_mm_irqs_off().

This doesn't seem to cause any problems right now, but it will
confuse my upcoming TLB flush changes.  Nonetheless, I think it
should be backported because it's trivial.  There won't be any
meaningful performance impact because idle_task_exit() is only
used when offlining a CPU.

commit 252d2a4117bc181b287eeddf848863788da733ae upstream.

idle_task_exit() can be called with IRQs on x86 on and therefore
should use switch_mm(), not switch_mm_irqs_off().

This doesn't seem to cause any problems right now, but it will
confuse my upcoming TLB flush changes.  Nonetheless, I think it
should be backported because it's trivial.  There won't be any
meaningful performance impact because idle_task_exit() is only
used when offlining a CPU.
