2014-02-10wake_up_process() should be never used to wakeup a TASK_STOPPED/TRACED taskOleg Nesterov
commit 9067ac85d533651b98c2ff903182a20cbb361fcb upstream. wake_up_process() should never wakeup a TASK_STOPPED/TRACED task. Change it to use TASK_NORMAL and add the WARN_ON(). TASK_ALL has no other users, probably can be killed.

2013-01-16sched: fix divide by zero at {thread_group,task}_timesStanislaw Gruszka
commit bea6832cc8c4a0a9a65dd17da6aaa657fe27bc3e upstream. On architectures where cputime_t is 64 bit type, is possible to trigger divide by zero on do_div(temp, (__force u32) total) line, if total is a non zero number but has lower 32 bit's zeroed. Removing casting is not a good solution since some do_div() implementations do cast to u32 internally. This problem can be triggered in practice on very long lived processes: PID: 2331 TASK: ffff880472814b00 CPU: 2 COMMAND: "oraagent.bin" #0 [ffff880472a51b70] machine_kexec at ffffffff8103214b #1 [ffff880472a51bd0] crash_kexec at ffffffff810b91c2 #2 [ffff880472a51ca0] oops_end at ffffffff814f0b00 #3 [ffff880472a51cd0] die at ffffffff8100f26b #4 [ffff880472a51d00] do_trap at ffffffff814f03f4 #5 [ffff880472a51d60] do_divide_error at ffffffff8100cfff #6 [ffff880472a51e00] divide_error at ffffffff8100be7b [exception RIP: thread_group_times+0x56] RIP: ffffffff81056a16 RSP: ffff880472a51eb8 RFLAGS: 00010046 RAX: bc3572c9fe12d194 RBX: ffff880874150800 RCX: 0000000110266fad RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: ffff880472a51eb8 RDI: 001038ae7d9633dc RBP: ffff880472a51ef8 R8: 00000000b10a3a64 R9: ffff880874150800 R10: 00007fcba27ab680 R11: 0000000000000202 R12: ffff880472a51f08 R13: ffff880472a51f10 R14: 0000000000000000 R15: 0000000000000007 ORIG_RAX: ffffffffffffffff CS: 0010 SS: 0018 #7 [ffff880472a51f00] do_sys_times at ffffffff8108845d #8 [ffff880472a51f40] sys_times at ffffffff81088524 #9 [ffff880472a51f80] system_call_fastpath at ffffffff8100b0f2 RIP: 0000003808caac3a RSP: 00007fcba27ab6d8 RFLAGS: 00000202 RAX: 0000000000000064 RBX: ffffffff8100b0f2 RCX: 0000000000000000 RDX: 00007fcba27ab6e0 RSI: 000000000076d58e RDI: 00007fcba27ab6e0 RBP: 00007fcba27ab700 R8: 0000000000000020 R9: 000000000000091b R10: 00007fcba27ab680 R11: 0000000000000202 R12: 00007fff9ca41940 R13: 0000000000000000 R14: 00007fcba27ac9c0 R15: 00007fff9ca41940 ORIG_RAX: 0000000000000064 CS: 0033 SS: 002b Signed-off-by: Stanislaw Gruszka <sgruszka@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20120808092714.GA3580@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> [PG: sched/core.c is just sched.c in 2.6.34; also the do_div() on __force u32 isn't explicitly seen since that is in v3.3-rc1~191^2~11] Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com>
2011-06-26ftrace: Fix memory leak with function graph and cpu hotplugSteven Rostedt
commit 868baf07b1a259f5f3803c1dc2777b6c358f83cf upstream. When the fuction graph tracer starts, it needs to make a special stack for each task to save the real return values of the tasks. All running tasks have this stack created, as well as any new tasks. On CPU hot plug, the new idle task will allocate a stack as well when init_idle() is called. The problem is that cpu hotplug does not create a new idle_task. Instead it uses the idle task that existed when the cpu went down. ftrace_graph_init_task() will add a new ret_stack to the task that is given to it. Because a clone will make the task have a stack of its parent it does not check if the task's ret_stack is already NULL or not. When the CPU hotplug code starts a CPU up again, it will allocate a new stack even though one already existed for it. The solution is to treat the idle_task specially. In fact, the function_graph code already does, just not at init_idle(). Instead of using the ftrace_graph_init_task() for the idle task, which that function expects the task to be a clone, have a separate ftrace_graph_init_idle_task(). Also, we will create a per_cpu ret_stack that is used by the idle task. When we call ftrace_graph_init_idle_task() it will check if the idle task's ret_stack is NULL, if it is, then it will assign it the per_cpu ret_stack.

2011-06-26sched: Fix wake_affine() vs RT tasksPeter Zijlstra
commit e51fd5e22e12b39f49b1bb60b37b300b17378a43 upstream. Mike reports that since e9e9250b (sched: Scale down cpu_power due to RT tasks), wake_affine() goes funny on RT tasks due to them still having a !0 weight and wake_affine() still subtracts that from the rq weight. Since nobody should be using se->weight for RT tasks, set the value to zero. Also, since we now use ->cpu_power to normalize rq weights to account for RT cpu usage, add that factor into the imbalance computation.

The cgroup_subsys_state structures referenced by idle tasks are never freed, because the idle tasks should be part of the root cgroup, which is not removable.

commit cc87f76a601d2d256118f7bab15e35254356ae21 upstream. The cpuload calculation in calc_load_account_active() assumes rq->nr_uninterruptible will not change on an offline cpu after migrate_nr_uninterruptible().

commit 0017d735092844118bef006696a750a0e4ef6ebd upstream. Oleg noticed a few races with the TASK_WAKING usage on fork. - since TASK_WAKING is basically a spinlock, it should be IRQ safe - since we set TASK_WAKING (*) without holding rq->lock it could be there still is a rq->lock holder, thereby not actually providing full serialization. (*) in fact we clear PF_STARTING, which in effect enables TASK_WAKING. Cure the second issue by not setting TASK_WAKING in sched_fork(), but only temporarily in wake_up_new_task() while calling select_task_rq(). Cure the first by holding rq->lock around the select_task_rq() call, this will disable IRQs, this however requires that we push down the rq->lock release into select_task_rq_fair()'s cgroup stuff. Because select_task_rq_fair() still needs to drop the rq->lock we cannot fully get rid of TASK_WAKING.

commit 9084bb8246ea935b98320554229e2f371f7f52fa upstream. Introduce cpuset_cpus_allowed_fallback() helper to fix the cpuset problems with select_fallback_rq(). It can be called from any context and can't use any cpuset locks including task_lock(). It is called when the task doesn't have online cpus in ->cpus_allowed but ttwu/etc must be able to find a suitable cpu. I am not proud of this patch. Everything which needs such a fat comment can't be good even if correct. But I'd prefer to not change the locking rules in the code I hardly understand, and in any case I believe this simple change make the code much more correct compared to deadlocks we currently have.

commit 30da688ef6b76e01969b00608202fff1eed2accc upstream. sched_exec()->select_task_rq() reads/updates ->cpus_allowed lockless. This can race with other CPUs updating our ->cpus_allowed, and this looks meaningless to me. The task is current and running, it must have online cpus in ->cpus_allowed, the fallback mode is bogus. And, if ->sched_class returns the "wrong" cpu, this likely means we raced with set_cpus_allowed() which was called for reason, why should sched_exec() retry and call ->select_task_rq() again? Change the code to call sched_class->select_task_rq() directly and do nothing if the returned cpu is wrong after re-checking under rq->lock. From now task_struct->cpus_allowed is always stable under TASK_WAKING, select_fallback_rq() is always called under rq-lock or the caller or the caller owns TASK_WAKING (select_task_rq).

commit 1445c08d06c5594895b4fae952ef8a457e89c390 upstream. move_task_off_dead_cpu()->select_fallback_rq() reads/updates ->cpus_allowed lockless. We can race with set_cpus_allowed() running in parallel. Change it to take rq->lock around select_fallback_rq(). Note that it is not trivial to move this spin_lock() into select_fallback_rq(), we must recheck the task was not migrated after we take the lock and other callers do not need this lock. To avoid the races with other callers of select_fallback_rq() which rely on TASK_WAKING, we also check p->state != TASK_WAKING and do nothing otherwise. The owner of TASK_WAKING must update ->cpus_allowed and choose the correct CPU anyway, and the subsequent __migrate_task() is just meaningless because p->se.on_rq must be false. Alternatively, we could change select_task_rq() to take rq->lock right after it calls sched_class->select_task_rq(), but this looks a bit ugly. Also, change it to not assume irqs are disabled and absorb __migrate_task_irq().

2011-01-06sched: Kill the broken and deadlockable ↵Oleg Nesterov
cpuset_lock/cpuset_cpus_allowed_locked code commit 897f0b3c3ff40b443c84e271bef19bd6ae885195 upstream. This patch just states the fact the cpusets/cpuhotplug interaction is broken and removes the deadlockable code which only pretends to work. - cpuset_lock() doesn't really work. It is needed for cpuset_cpus_allowed_locked() but we can't take this lock in try_to_wake_up()->select_fallback_rq() path. - cpuset_lock() is deadlockable. Suppose that a task T bound to CPU takes callback_mutex. If cpu_down(CPU) happens before T drops callback_mutex stop_machine() preempts T, then migration_call(CPU_DEAD) tries to take cpuset_lock() and hangs forever because CPU is already dead and thus T can't be scheduled. - cpuset_cpus_allowed_locked() is deadlockable too. It takes task_lock() which is not irq-safe, but try_to_wake_up() can be called from irq. Kill them, and change select_fallback_rq() to use cpu_possible_mask, like we currently do without CONFIG_CPUSETS.

2010-08-02sched: Fix over-scheduling bugAlex,Shi
commit 3c93717cfa51316e4dbb471e7c0f9d243359d5f8 upstream. Commit e70971591 ("sched: Optimize unused cgroup configuration") introduced an imbalanced scheduling bug. If we do not use CGROUP, function update_h_load won't update h_load. When the system has a large number of tasks far more than logical CPU number, the incorrect cfs_rq[cpu]->h_load value will cause load_balance() to pull too many tasks to the local CPU from the busiest CPU. So the busiest CPU keeps going in a round robin. That will hurt performance. The issue was found originally by a scientific calculation workload that developed by Yanmin. With that commit, the workload performance drops about 40%.

2010-04-23mutex: Don't spin when the owner CPU is offline or other weird casesBenjamin Herrenschmidt
Due to recent load-balancer changes that delay the task migration to the next wakeup, the adaptive mutex spinning ends up in a live lock when the owner's CPU gets offlined because the cpu_online() check lives before the owner running check. This patch changes mutex_spin_on_owner() to return 0 (don't spin) in any case where we aren't sure about the owner struct validity or CPU number, and if the said CPU is offline. There is no point going back & re-evaluate spinning in corner cases like that, let's just go to sleep.

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo
implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

2010-03-15sched: sched_getaffinity(): Allow less than NR_CPUS lengthKOSAKI Motohiro
[ Note, this commit changes the syscall ABI for > 1024 CPUs systems. ] Recently, some distro decided to use NR_CPUS=4096 for mysterious reasons. Unfortunately, glibc sched interface has the following definition: # define __CPU_SETSIZE 1024 # define __NCPUBITS (8 * sizeof (__cpu_mask)) typedef unsigned long int __cpu_mask; typedef struct { __cpu_mask __bits[__CPU_SETSIZE / __NCPUBITS]; } cpu_set_t; It mean, if NR_CPUS is bigger than 1024, cpu_set_t makes an ABI issue ... More recently, Sharyathi Nagesh reported following test program makes misterious syscall failure: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- #define _GNU_SOURCE #include<stdio.h> #include<errno.h> #include<sched.h> int main() { cpu_set_t set; if (sched_getaffinity(0, sizeof(cpu_set_t), &set) < 0) printf("\n Call is failing with:%d", errno); } ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Because the kernel assumes len argument of sched_getaffinity() is bigger than NR_CPUS. But now it is not correct. Now we are faced with the following annoying dilemma, due to the limitations of the glibc interface built in years ago: (1) if we change glibc's __CPU_SETSIZE definition, we lost binary compatibility of _all_ application. (2) if we don't change it, we also lost binary compatibility of Sharyathi's use case. Then, I would propse to change the rule of the len argument of sched_getaffinity(). Old: len should be bigger than NR_CPUS New: len should be bigger than maximum possible cpu id This creates the following behavior: (A) In the real 4096 cpus machine, the above test program still return -EINVAL. (B) NR_CPUS=4096 but the machine have less than 1024 cpus (almost all machines in the world), the above can run successfully. Fortunatelly, BIG SGI machine is mainly used for HPC use case. It means they can rebuild their programs. IOW we hope they are not annoyed by this issue ...

2010-02-16sched: Fix SMT scheduler regression in find_busiest_queue()Suresh Siddha
Fix a SMT scheduler performance regression that is leading to a scenario where SMT threads in one core are completely idle while both the SMT threads in another core (on the same socket) are busy. This is caused by this commit (with the problematic code highlighted) commit bdb94aa5dbd8b55e75f5a50b61312fe589e2c2d1 Author: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Date: Tue Sep 1 10:34:38 2009 +0200 sched: Try to deal with low capacity @@ -4203,15 +4223,18 @@ find_busiest_queue() ... for_each_cpu(i, sched_group_cpus(group)) { + unsigned long power = power_of(i); ... - wl = weighted_cpuload(i); + wl = weighted_cpuload(i) * SCHED_LOAD_SCALE; + wl /= power; - if (rq->nr_running == 1 && wl > imbalance) + if (capacity && rq->nr_running == 1 && wl > imbalance) continue; On a SMT system, power of the HT logical cpu will be 589 and the scheduler load imbalance (for scenarios like the one mentioned above) can be approximately 1024 (SCHED_LOAD_SCALE). The above change of scaling the weighted load with the power will result in "wl > imbalance" and ultimately resulting in find_busiest_queue() return NULL, causing load_balance() to think that the load is well balanced. But infact one of the tasks can be moved to the idle core for optimal performance. We don't need to use the weighted load (wl) scaled by the cpu power to compare with imabalance. In that condition, we already know there is only a single task "rq->nr_running == 1" and the comparison between imbalance, wl is to make sure that we select the correct priority thread which matches imbalance. So we really need to compare the imabalnce with the original weighted load of the cpu and not the scaled load. But in other conditions where we want the most hammered(busiest) cpu, we can use scaled load to ensure that we consider the cpu power in addition to the actual load on that cpu, so that we can move the load away from the guy that is getting most hammered with respect to the actual capacity, as compared with the rest of the cpu's in that busiest group. Fix it.

2010-02-08sched: cpuacct: Use bigger percpu counter batch values for stats countersAnton Blanchard
When CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING and CONFIG_CGROUP_CPUACCT are enabled we can call cpuacct_update_stats with values much larger than percpu_counter_batch. This means the call to percpu_counter_add will always add to the global count which is protected by a spinlock and we end up with a global spinlock in the scheduler. Based on an idea by KOSAKI Motohiro, this patch scales the batch value by cputime_one_jiffy such that we have the same batch limit as we would if CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING was disabled. His patch did this once at boot but that initialisation happened too early on PowerPC (before time_init) and it was never updated at runtime as a result of a hotplug cpu add/remove. This patch instead scales percpu_counter_batch by cputime_one_jiffy at runtime, which keeps the batch correct even after cpu hotplug operations. We cap it at INT_MAX in case of overflow. For architectures that do not support CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING, cputime_one_jiffy is the constant 1 and gcc is smart enough to optimise min(s32 percpu_counter_batch, INT_MAX) to just percpu_counter_batch at least on x86 and PowerPC. So there is no need to add an #ifdef. On a 64 thread PowerPC box with CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING and CONFIG_CGROUP_CPUACCT enabled, a context switch microbenchmark is 234x faster and almost matches a CONFIG_CGROUP_CPUACCT disabled kernel: CONFIG_CGROUP_CPUACCT disabled: 16906698 ctx switches/sec CONFIG_CGROUP_CPUACCT enabled: 61720 ctx switches/sec CONFIG_CGROUP_CPUACCT + patch: 16663217 ctx switches/sec Tested with: wget http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/context_switch.c make context_switch for i in `seq 0 63`; do taskset -c $i ./context_switch & done vmstat 1 Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Reviewed-by: KOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@jp.fujitsu.com> Acked-by: Balbir Singh <balbir@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Tested-by: Balbir Singh <balbir@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "Luck, Tony" <tony.luck@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
