sched: Fix isolcpus boot option

2009-12-08T18:22:06Z

commit bdddd2963c0264c56f18043f6fa829d3c1d3d1c0 upstream. Anton Blanchard wrote: > We allocate and zero cpu_isolated_map after the isolcpus > __setup option has run.

I introduced this regression in 49557e620339cb13 (sched: Fix boot crash by zalloc()ing most of the cpu masks). Use the bootmem allocator if they set isolcpus=, otherwise allocate and zero like normal.

sched: Fix boot crash by zalloc()ing most of the cpu masks

2009-12-08T18:22:05Z

commit 49557e620339cb134127b5bfbcfecc06b77d0232 upstream. I got a boot crash when forcing cpumasks offstack on 32 bit, because find_new_ilb() returned 3 on my UP system (nohz.cpu_mask wasn't zeroed). AFAICT the others need to be zeroed too: only nohz.ilb_grp_nohz_mask is initialized before use.

sched: fix load average accounting vs. cpu hotplug

2009-07-18T12:19:52Z

The new load average code clears rq->calc_load_active on CPU_ONLINE. That's wrong as the new onlined CPU might have got a scheduler tick already and accounted the delta to the stale value of the time we offlined the CPU. Clear the value when we cleanup the dead CPU instead. Also move the update of the calc_load_update time for the newly online CPU to CPU_UP_PREPARE to avoid that the CPU plays catch up with the stale update time value. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner

sched: optimize cond_resched()

2009-07-10T21:24:05Z

Optimize cond_resched() by removing one conditional. Currently cond_resched() checks system_state == SYSTEM_RUNNING in order to avoid scheduling before the scheduler is running. We can however, as per suggestion of Matt, use PREEMPT_ACTIVE to accomplish that very same.

sched: Fix rt_rq->pushable_tasks initialization in init_rt_rq()

2009-07-10T08:43:30Z

init_rt_rq() initializes only rq->rt.pushable_tasks, and not the pushable_tasks field of the passed rt_rq. The plist is not used uninitialized since the only pushable_tasks plists used are the ones of root rt_rqs; anyway reinitializing the list on every group creation corrupts the root plist, losing its previous contents.

sched: Reset sched stats on fork()

2009-07-10T08:43:29Z

The sched_stat fields are currently not reset upon fork. Ingo's recent commit 6c594c21fcb02c662f11c97be4d7d2b73060a205 did reset nr_migrations, but it didn't reset any of the others. This patch resets all sched_stat fields on fork.

sched_rt: Fix overload bug on rt group scheduling

2009-07-10T08:43:29Z

Fixes an easily triggerable BUG() when setting process affinities. Make sure to count the number of migratable tasks in the same place: the root rt_rq. Otherwise the number doesn't make sense and we'll hit the BUG in set_cpus_allowed_rt(). Also, make sure we only count tasks, not groups (this is probably already taken care of by the fact that rt_se->nr_cpus_allowed will be 0 for groups, but be more explicit) Tested-by: Thomas Gleixner CC: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra Acked-by: Gregory Haskins LKML-Reference: <1247067476.9777.57.camel@twins> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar
