sched, rt: Convert switched_{from, to}_rt() / prio_changed_rt() to balance callbacks

2016-03-03T11:45:54+00:00

commit fd7a4bed183523275279c9addbf42fce550c2e90 upstream.

Remove the direct {push,pull} balancing operations from
switched_{from,to}_rt() / prio_changed_rt() and use the balance
callback queue.

Again, err on the side of too many reschedules; since too few is a
hard bug while too many is just annoying.

sched,rt: Remove return value from pull_rt_task()

2016-03-03T11:45:54+00:00

commit 8046d6806247088de5725eaf8a2580b29e50ac5a upstream.

In order to be able to use pull_rt_task() from a callback, we need to
do away with the return value.

Since the return value indicates if we should reschedule, do this
inside the function. Since not all callers currently do this, this can
increase the number of reschedules due rt balancing.

Too many reschedules is not a correctness issues, too few are.

sched: Replace post_schedule with a balance callback list

2016-03-03T11:45:54+00:00

commit e3fca9e7cbfb72694a21c886fcdf9f059cfded9c upstream.

Generalize the post_schedule() stuff into a balance callback list.
This allows us to more easily use it outside of schedule() and cross
sched_class.

printk: rename printk_sched to printk_deferred

2014-08-19T12:23:37+00:00

commit aac74dc495456412c4130a1167ce4beb6c1f0b38 upstream.

After learning we'll need some sort of deferred printk functionality in
the timekeeping core, Peter suggested we rename the printk_sched function
so it can be reused by needed subsystems.

This only changes the function name. No logic changes.

sched/rt: Remove redundant nr_cpus_allowed test

2014-03-12T12:25:40+00:00

commit 6bfa687c19b7ab8adee03f0d43c197c2945dd869 upstream.

In 76854c7e8f3f4172fef091e78d88b3b751463ac6 ("sched: Use
rt.nr_cpus_allowed to recover select_task_rq() cycles") an
optimization was added to select_task_rq_rt() that immediately
returns when p->nr_cpus_allowed == 1 at the beginning of the
function.

This makes the latter p->nr_cpus_allowed > 1 check redundant,
which can now be removed.

sched/rt: Add missing rmb()

2014-03-12T12:25:39+00:00

commit 7c3f2ab7b844f1a859afbc3d41925e8a0faba5fa upstream.

While discussing the proposed SCHED_DEADLINE patches which in parts
mimic the existing FIFO code it was noticed that the wmb in
rt_set_overloaded() didn't have a matching barrier.

The only site using rt_overloaded() to test the rto_count is
pull_rt_task() and we should issue a matching rmb before then assuming
there's an rto_mask bit set.

Without that smp_rmb() in there we could actually miss seeing the
rto_mask bit.

Also, change to using smp_[wr]mb(), even though this is SMP only code;
memory barriers without smp_ always make me think they're against
hardware of some sort.

sched/rt: Fix rq's cpupri leak while enqueue/dequeue child RT entities

2014-01-09T20:25:10+00:00

commit 757dfcaa41844595964f1220f1d33182dae49976 upstream.

This patch touches the RT group scheduling case.

Functions inc_rt_prio_smp() and dec_rt_prio_smp() change (global) rq's
priority, while rt_rq passed to them may be not the top-level rt_rq.
This is wrong, because changing of priority on a child level does not
guarantee that the priority is the highest all over the rq. So, this
leak makes RT balancing unusable.

The short example: the task having the highest priority among all rq's
RT tasks (no one other task has the same priority) are waking on a
throttle rt_rq.  The rq's cpupri is set to the task's priority
equivalent, but real rq->rt.highest_prio.curr is less.

The patch below fixes the problem.

sched/rt: Simplify pull_rt_task() logic and remove .leaf_rt_rq_list

2013-06-19T10:58:40+00:00

[ Peter, this is based off of some of my work, I ran it though a few
  tests and it passed. I also reviewed it, and added my SOB as I am
  somewhat a co-author to it. ]

Based on the patch by Steven Rostedt from previous year:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/18/517

1)Simplify pull_rt_task() logic: search in pushable tasks of dest runqueue.
The only pullable tasks are the tasks which are pushable in their local rq,
and no others.

2)Remove .leaf_rt_rq_list member of struct rt_rq and functions connected
with it: nobody uses it since now.

sched: Use an accessor to read the rq clock

2013-05-28T07:40:27+00:00

Read the runqueue clock through an accessor. This
prepares for adding a debugging infrastructure to
detect missing or redundant calls to update_rq_clock()
between a scheduler's entry and exit point.

sched: Remove redundant update_runtime notifier

2013-05-28T07:40:22+00:00

migration_call() will do all the things that update_runtime() does.
So let's remove it.

Furthermore, there is potential risk that the current code will catch
BUG_ON at line 689 of rt.c when do cpu hotplug while there are realtime
threads running because of enabling runtime twice while the rt_runtime
may already changed.
