sched/core: Fix incorrect initialization of the 'burst' parameter in cpu_max_write()

2024-06-12T09:03:33+00:00

[ Upstream commit 49217ea147df7647cb89161b805c797487783fc0 ]

In the cgroup v2 CPU subsystem, assuming we have a
cgroup named 'test', and we set cpu.max and cpu.max.burst:

    # echo 1000000 > /sys/fs/cgroup/test/cpu.max
    # echo 1000000 > /sys/fs/cgroup/test/cpu.max.burst

then we check cpu.max and cpu.max.burst:

    # cat /sys/fs/cgroup/test/cpu.max
    1000000 100000
    # cat /sys/fs/cgroup/test/cpu.max.burst
    1000000

Next we set cpu.max again and check cpu.max and
cpu.max.burst:

    # echo 2000000 > /sys/fs/cgroup/test/cpu.max
    # cat /sys/fs/cgroup/test/cpu.max
    2000000 100000

    # cat /sys/fs/cgroup/test/cpu.max.burst
    1000

... we find that the cpu.max.burst value changed unexpectedly.

In cpu_max_write(), the unit of the burst value returned
by tg_get_cfs_burst() is microseconds, while in cpu_max_write(),
the burst unit used for calculation should be nanoseconds,
which leads to the bug.

To fix it, get the burst value directly from tg->cfs_bandwidth.burst.

sched/fair: Allow disabling sched_balance_newidle with sched_relax_domain_level

2024-06-12T09:03:33+00:00

[ Upstream commit a1fd0b9d751f840df23ef0e75b691fc00cfd4743 ]

Change relax_domain_level checks so that it would be possible
to include or exclude all domains from newidle balancing.

This matches the behavior described in the documentation:

  -1   no request. use system default or follow request of others.
   0   no search.
   1   search siblings (hyperthreads in a core).

"2" enables levels 0 and 1, level_max excludes the last (level_max)
level, and level_max+1 includes all levels.

sched/fair: Add EAS checks before updating root_domain::overutilized

2024-06-12T09:03:07+00:00

[ Upstream commit be3a51e68f2f1b17250ce40d8872c7645b7a2991 ]

root_domain::overutilized is only used for EAS(energy aware scheduler)
to decide whether to do load balance or not. It is not used if EAS
not possible.

Currently enqueue_task_fair and task_tick_fair accesses, sometime updates
this field. In update_sd_lb_stats it is updated often. This causes cache
contention due to true sharing and burns a lot of cycles. ::overload and
::overutilized are part of the same cacheline. Updating it often invalidates
the cacheline. That causes access to ::overload to slow down due to
false sharing. Hence add EAS check before accessing/updating this field.
EAS check is optimized at compile time or it is a static branch.
Hence it shouldn't cost much.

With the patch, both enqueue_task_fair and newidle_balance don't show
up as hot routines in perf profile.

  6.8-rc4:
  7.18%  swapper          [kernel.vmlinux]              [k] enqueue_task_fair
  6.78%  s                [kernel.vmlinux]              [k] newidle_balance

  0.00%  swapper          [kernel.vmlinux]              [k] newidle_balance

While at it: trace_sched_overutilized_tp expect that second argument to
be bool. So do a int to bool conversion for that.

sched/isolation: Fix boot crash when maxcpus < first housekeeping CPU

2024-06-12T09:03:00+00:00

[ Upstream commit 257bf89d84121280904800acd25cc2c444c717ae ]

housekeeping_setup() checks cpumask_intersects(present, online) to ensure
that the kernel will have at least one housekeeping CPU after smp_init(),
but this doesn't work if the maxcpus= kernel parameter limits the number of
processors available after bootup.

For example, a kernel with "maxcpus=2 nohz_full=0-2" parameters crashes at
boot time on a virtual machine with 4 CPUs.

Change housekeeping_setup() to use cpumask_first_and() and check that the
returned CPU number is valid and less than setup_max_cpus.

Another corner case is "nohz_full=0" on a machine with a single CPU or with
the maxcpus=1 kernel argument. In this case non_housekeeping_mask is empty
and tick_nohz_full_setup() makes no sense. And indeed, the kernel hits the
WARN_ON(tick_nohz_full_running) in tick_sched_do_timer().

And how should the kernel interpret the "nohz_full=" parameter? It should
be silently ignored, but currently cpulist_parse() happily returns the
empty cpumask and this leads to the same problem.

Change housekeeping_setup() to check cpumask_empty(non_housekeeping_mask)
and do nothing in this case.

sched/fair: Take the scheduling domain into account in select_idle_core()

2024-03-26T22:20:30+00:00

[ Upstream commit 23d04d8c6b8ec339057264659b7834027f3e6a63 ]

When picking a CPU on task wakeup, select_idle_core() has to take
into account the scheduling domain where the function looks for the CPU.

This is because the "isolcpus" kernel command line option can remove CPUs
from the domain to isolate them from other SMT siblings.

This change replaces the set of CPUs allowed to run the task from
p->cpus_ptr by the intersection of p->cpus_ptr and sched_domain_span(sd)
which is stored in the 'cpus' argument provided by select_idle_cpu().

sched/rt: sysctl_sched_rr_timeslice show default timeslice after reset

2024-03-01T12:26:24+00:00

commit c1fc6484e1fb7cc2481d169bfef129a1b0676abe upstream.

The sched_rr_timeslice can be reset to default by writing value that is
<= 0. However after reading from this file we always got the last value
written, which is not useful at all.

$ echo -1 > /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rr_timeslice_ms
$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rr_timeslice_ms
-1

Fix this by setting the variable that holds the sysctl file value to the
jiffies_to_msecs(RR_TIMESLICE) in case that <= 0 value was written.

sched/rt: Disallow writing invalid values to sched_rt_period_us

2024-03-01T12:26:24+00:00

commit 079be8fc630943d9fc70a97807feb73d169ee3fc upstream.

The validation of the value written to sched_rt_period_us was broken
because:

  - the sysclt_sched_rt_period is declared as unsigned int
  - parsed by proc_do_intvec()
  - the range is asserted after the value parsed by proc_do_intvec()

Because of this negative values written to the file were written into a
unsigned integer that were later on interpreted as large positive
integers which did passed the check:

  if (sysclt_sched_rt_period <= 0)
	return EINVAL;

This commit fixes the parsing by setting explicit range for both
perid_us and runtime_us into the sched_rt_sysctls table and processes
the values with proc_dointvec_minmax() instead.

Alternatively if we wanted to use full range of unsigned int for the
period value we would have to split the proc_handler and use
proc_douintvec() for it however even the
Documentation/scheduller/sched-rt-group.rst describes the range as 1 to
INT_MAX.

As far as I can tell the only problem this causes is that the sysctl
file allows writing negative values which when read back may confuse
userspace.

There is also a LTP test being submitted for these sysctl files at:

sched/membarrier: reduce the ability to hammer on sys_membarrier

commit 944d5fe50f3f03daacfea16300e656a1691c4a23 upstream.

On some systems, sys_membarrier can be very expensive, causing overall
slowdowns for everything.  So put a lock on the path in order to
serialize the accesses to prevent the ability for this to be called at
too high of a frequency and saturate the machine.

sched: Fix stop_one_cpu_nowait() vs hotplug

2023-11-20T10:51:50+00:00

[ Upstream commit f0498d2a54e7966ce23cd7c7ff42c64fa0059b07 ]

Kuyo reported sporadic failures on a sched_setaffinity() vs CPU
hotplug stress-test -- notably affine_move_task() remains stuck in
wait_for_completion(), leading to a hung-task detector warning.

Specifically, it was reported that stop_one_cpu_nowait(.fn =
migration_cpu_stop) returns false -- this stopper is responsible for
the matching complete().

The race scenario is:

	CPU0					CPU1

					// doing _cpu_down()

  __set_cpus_allowed_ptr()
    task_rq_lock();
					takedown_cpu()
					  stop_machine_cpuslocked(take_cpu_down..)

					
    ack_state()
					  MULTI_STOP_RUN
					    take_cpu_down()
					      __cpu_disable();
					      stop_machine_park();
						stopper->enabled = false;
					 />
   />
	stop_one_cpu_nowait(.fn = migration_cpu_stop);
          if (stopper->enabled) // false!!!

That is, by doing stop_one_cpu_nowait() after dropping rq-lock, the
stopper thread gets a chance to preempt and allows the cpu-down for
the target CPU to complete.

OTOH, since stop_one_cpu_nowait() / cpu_stop_queue_work() needs to
issue a wakeup, it must not be ran under the scheduler locks.

Solve this apparent contradiction by keeping preemption disabled over
the unlock + queue_stopper combination:

	preempt_disable();
	task_rq_unlock(...);
	if (!stop_pending)
	  stop_one_cpu_nowait(...)
	preempt_enable();

This respects the lock ordering contraints while still avoiding the
above race. That is, if we find the CPU is online under rq-lock, the
targeted stop_one_cpu_nowait() must succeed.

Apply this pattern to all similar stop_one_cpu_nowait() invocations.
