[ Upstream commit e21cf43406a190adfcc4bfe592768066fb3aaa9b ]

Some performance regression on reaim benchmark have been raised with
  commit 070f5e860ee2 ("sched/fair: Take into account runnable_avg to classify group")

The problem comes from the init value of runnable_avg which is initialized
with max value. This can be a problem if the newly forked task is finally
a short task because the group of CPUs is wrongly set to overloaded and
tasks are pulled less agressively.

Set initial value of runnable_avg equals to util_avg to reflect that there
is no waiting time so far.

<title>sched/core: Fix PI boosting between RT and DEADLINE tasks</title>

[ Upstream commit 740797ce3a124b7dd22b7fb832d87bc8fba1cf6f ]

syzbot reported the following warning:

 WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 6351 at kernel/sched/deadline.c:628
 enqueue_task_dl+0x22da/0x38a0 kernel/sched/deadline.c:1504

At deadline.c:628 we have:

 623 static inline void setup_new_dl_entity(struct sched_dl_entity *dl_se)
 624 {
 625 	struct dl_rq *dl_rq = dl_rq_of_se(dl_se);
 626 	struct rq *rq = rq_of_dl_rq(dl_rq);
 627
 628 	WARN_ON(dl_se-&gt;dl_boosted);
 629 	WARN_ON(dl_time_before(rq_clock(rq), dl_se-&gt;deadline));
        [...]
     }

Which means that setup_new_dl_entity() has been called on a task
currently boosted. This shouldn't happen though, as setup_new_dl_entity()
is only called when the 'dynamic' deadline of the new entity
is in the past w.r.t. rq_clock and boosted tasks shouldn't verify this
condition.

Digging through the PI code I noticed that what above might in fact happen
if an RT tasks blocks on an rt_mutex hold by a DEADLINE task. In the
first branch of boosting conditions we check only if a pi_task 'dynamic'
deadline is earlier than mutex holder's and in this case we set mutex
holder to be dl_boosted. However, since RT 'dynamic' deadlines are only
initialized if such tasks get boosted at some point (or if they become
DEADLINE of course), in general RT 'dynamic' deadlines are usually equal
to 0 and this verifies the aforementioned condition.

Fix it by checking that the potential donor task is actually (even if
temporary because in turn boosted) running at DEADLINE priority before
using its 'dynamic' deadline value.

[ Upstream commit d505b8af58912ae1e1a211fabc9995b19bd40828 ]

When users write some huge number into cpu.cfs_quota_us or
cpu.rt_runtime_us, overflow might happen during to_ratio() shifts of
schedulable checks.

to_ratio() could be altered to avoid unnecessary internal overflow, but
min_cfs_quota_period is less than 1 &lt;&lt; BW_SHIFT, so a cutoff would still
be needed. Set a cap MAX_BW for cfs_quota_us and rt_runtime_us to
prevent overflow.

[ Upstream commit bf2c59fce4074e55d622089b34be3a6bc95484fb ]

In the CPU-offline process, it calls mmdrop() after idle entry and the
subsequent call to cpuhp_report_idle_dead(). Once execution passes the
call to rcu_report_dead(), RCU is ignoring the CPU, which results in
lockdep complaining when mmdrop() uses RCU from either memcg or
debugobjects below.

Fix it by cleaning up the active_mm state from BP instead. Every arch
which has CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU should have already called idle_task_exit()
from AP. The only exception is parisc because it switches them to
&amp;init_mm unconditionally (see smp_boot_one_cpu() and smp_cpu_init()),
but the patch will still work there because it calls mmgrab(&amp;init_mm) in
smp_cpu_init() and then should call mmdrop(&amp;init_mm) in finish_cpu().

  WARNING: suspicious RCU usage

  kernel/workqueue.c:710 RCU or wq_pool_mutex should be held!

[ Upstream commit 5a6d6a6ccb5f48ca8cf7c6d64ff83fd9c7999390 ]

In order to prevent possible hardlockup of sched_cfs_period_timer()
loop, loop count is introduced to denote whether to scale quota and
period or not. However, scale is done between forwarding period timer
and refilling cfs bandwidth runtime, which means that period timer is
forwarded with old "period" while runtime is refilled with scaled
"quota".

Move do_sched_cfs_period_timer() before scaling to solve this.

Stefano reported a crash with using SQPOLL with io_uring:

  BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 00000000000003b0
  CPU: 2 PID: 1307 Comm: io_uring-sq Not tainted 5.7.0-rc7 #11
  RIP: 0010:task_numa_work+0x4f/0x2c0
  Call Trace:
   task_work_run+0x68/0xa0
   io_sq_thread+0x252/0x3d0
   kthread+0xf9/0x130
   ret_from_fork+0x35/0x40

which is task_numa_work() oopsing on current-&gt;mm being NULL.

The task work is queued by task_tick_numa(), which checks if current-&gt;mm is
NULL at the time of the call. But this state isn't necessarily persistent,
if the kthread is using use_mm() to temporarily adopt the mm of a task.

Change the task_tick_numa() check to exclude kernel threads in general,
as it doesn't make sense to attempt ot balance for kthreads anyway.

Although not exactly identical, unthrottle_cfs_rq() and enqueue_task_fair()
are quite close and follow the same sequence for enqueuing an entity in the
cfs hierarchy. Modify unthrottle_cfs_rq() to use the same pattern as
enqueue_task_fair(). This fixes a problem already faced with the latter and
add an optimization in the last for_each_sched_entity loop.

<title>sched/debug: Fix requested task uclamp values shown in procfs</title>

<content type='text'>
The intention of commit 96e74ebf8d59 ("sched/debug: Add task uclamp
values to SCHED_DEBUG procfs") was to print requested and effective
task uclamp values. The requested values printed are read from p-&gt;uclamp,
which holds the last effective values. Fix this by printing the values
from p-&gt;uclamp_req.

sched/fair: Fix enqueue_task_fair warning some more

The recent patch, fe61468b2cb (sched/fair: Fix enqueue_task_fair warning)
did not fully resolve the issues with the rq-&gt;tmp_alone_branch !=
&amp;rq-&gt;leaf_cfs_rq_list warning in enqueue_task_fair. There is a case where
the first for_each_sched_entity loop exits due to on_rq, having incompletely
updated the list.  In this case the second for_each_sched_entity loop can
further modify se. The later code to fix up the list management fails to do
what is needed because se does not point to the sched_entity which broke out
of the first loop. The list is not fixed up because the throttled parent was
already added back to the list by a task enqueue in a parallel child hierarchy.

Address this by calling list_add_leaf_cfs_rq if there are throttled parents
while doing the second for_each_sched_entity loop.
