      sched/fair: Trivial correction of the newidle_balance() comment · 5b78f2dc
      Barry Song authored
      idle_balance() has been renamed to newidle_balance(). To differentiate
      with nohz_idle_balance, it seems refining the comment will be helpful
      for the readers of the code.

      sched/fair: Clear SMT siblings after determining the core is not idle · 13d5a5e9
      Mel Gorman authored
      The clearing of SMT siblings from the SIS mask before checking for an idle
      core is a small but unnecessary cost. Defer the clearing of the siblings
      until the scan moves to the next potential target. The cost of this was
      not measured as it is borderline noise but it should be self-evident.

      sched: Fix kernel-doc markup · 59a74b15
      Mauro Carvalho Chehab authored
      Kernel-doc requires that a kernel-doc markup to be immediately
      below the function prototype, as otherwise it will rename it.
      So, move sys_sched_yield() markup to the right place.
      
      Also fix the cpu_util() markup: Kernel-doc markups
      should use this format:

      x86: Print ratio freq_max/freq_base used in frequency invariance calculations · 3149cd55
      Giovanni Gherdovich authored
      The value freq_max/freq_base is a fundamental component of frequency
      invariance calculations. It may come from a variety of sources such as MSRs
      or ACPI data, tracking it down when troubleshooting a system could be
      non-trivial. It is worth saving it in the kernel logs.

      x86, sched: Use midpoint of max_boost and max_P for frequency invariance on AMD EPYC · 976df7e5
      Giovanni Gherdovich authored
      Frequency invariant accounting calculations need the ratio
      freq_curr/freq_max, but freq_max is unknown as it depends on dynamic power
      allocation between cores: AMD EPYC CPUs implement "Core Performance Boost".
      Three candidates are considered to estimate this value:
      
      - maximum non-boost frequency
      - maximum boost frequency
      - the mid point between the above two
      
      Experimental data on an AMD EPYC Zen2 machine slightly favors the third
      option, which is applied with this patch.
      
      The analysis uses the ondemand cpufreq governor as baseline, and compares
      it with schedutil in a number of configurations. Using the freq_max value
      described above offers a moderate advantage in performance and efficiency:
      
      sugov-max (freq_max=max_boost) performs the worst on tbench: less
      throughput and reduced efficiency than the other invariant-schedutil
      options (see "Data Overview" below). Consider that tbench is generally a
      problematic case as no schedutil version currently is better than ondemand.
      
      sugov-P0 (freq_max=max_P) is the worst on dbench, while the other sugov's
      can surpass ondemand with less filesystem latency and slightly increased
      efficiency.

      x86, sched: Calculate frequency invariance for AMD systems · 41ea6672
      Nathan Fontenot authored
      This is the first pass in creating the ability to calculate the
      frequency invariance on AMD systems. This approach uses the CPPC
      highest performance and nominal performance values that range from
      0 - 255 instead of a high and base frquency. This is because we do
      not have the ability on AMD to get a highest frequency value.
      
      On AMD systems the highest performance and nominal performance
      vaues do correspond to the highest and base frequencies for the system
      so using them should produce an appropriate ratio but some tweaking
      is likely necessary.
      
      Due to CPPC being initialized later in boot than when the frequency
      invariant calculation is currently made, I had to create a callback
      from the CPPC init code to do the calculation after we have CPPC
      data.
      
      Special thanks to "kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com>" for reporting that
      compilation of drivers/acpi/cppc_acpi.c is conditional to
      CONFIG_ACPI_CPPC_LIB, not just CONFIG_ACPI.

      mm: fix VM_BUG_ON(PageTail) and BUG_ON(PageWriteback) · 073861ed
      Hugh Dickins authored
      Twice now, when exercising ext4 looped on shmem huge pages, I have crashed
      on the PF_ONLY_HEAD check inside PageWaiters(): ext4_finish_bio() calling
      end_page_writeback() calling wake_up_page() on tail of a shmem huge page,
      no longer an ext4 page at all.
      
      The problem is that PageWriteback is not accompanied by a page reference
      (as the NOTE at the end of test_clear_page_writeback() acknowledges): as
      soon as TestClearPageWriteback has been done, that page could be removed
      from page cache, freed, and reused for something else by the time that
      wake_up_page() is reached.
      
      https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20200827122019.GC14765@casper.infradead.org/
      Matthew Wilcox suggested avoiding or weakening the PageWaiters() tail
      check; but I'm paranoid about even looking at an unreferenced struct page,
      lest its memory might itself have already been reused or hotremoved (and
      wake_up_page_bit() may modify that memory with its ClearPageWaiters()).
      
      Then on crashing a second time, realized there's a stronger reason against
      that approach.  If my testing just occasionally crashes on that check,
      when the page is reused for part of a compound page, wouldn't it be much
      more common for the page to get reused as an order-0 page before reaching
      wake_up_page()?  And on rare occasions, might that reused page already be
      marked PageWriteback by its new user, and already be waited upon?  What
      would that look like?
      
      It would look like BUG_ON(PageWriteback) after wait_on_page_writeback()
      in write_cache_pages() (though I have never seen that crash myself).
      
      Matthew Wilcox explaining this to himself:
       "page is allocated, added to page cache, dirtied, writeback starts,
      
        --- thread A ---
        filesystem calls end_page_writeback()
              test_clear_page_writeback()
        --- context switch to thread B ---
        truncate_inode_pages_range() finds the page, it doesn't have writeback set,
        we delete it from the page cache.  Page gets reallocated, dirtied, writeback
        starts again.  Then we call write_cache_pages(), see
        PageWriteback() set, call wait_on_page_writeback()
        --- context switch back to thread A ---
        wake_up_page(page, PG_writeback);
        ... thread B is woken, but because the wakeup was for the old use of
        the page, PageWriteback is still set.
      
        Devious"
      
      And prior to 2a9127fc ("mm: rewrite wait_on_page_bit_common() logic")
      this would have been much less likely: before that, wake_page_function()'s
      non-exclusive case would stop walking and not wake if it found Writeback
      already set again; whereas now the non-exclusive case proceeds to wake.
      
      I have not thought of a fix that does not add a little overhead: the
      simplest fix is for end_page_writeback() to get_page() before calling
      test_clear_page_writeback(), then put_page() after wake_up_page().
      
      Was there a chance of missed wakeups before, since a page freed before
      reaching wake_up_page() would have PageWaiters cleared?  I think not,
      because each waiter does hold a reference on the page.  This bug comes
      when the old use of the page, the one we do TestClearPageWriteback on,
      had *no* waiters, so no additional page reference beyond the page cache
      (and whoever racily freed it).  The reuse of the page has a waiter
      holding a reference, and its own PageWriteback set; but the belated
      wake_up_page() has woken the reuse to hit that BUG_ON(PageWriteback).

      sched: Limit the amount of NUMA imbalance that can exist at fork time · 23e6082a
      Mel Gorman authored
      At fork time currently, a local node can be allowed to fill completely
      and allow the periodic load balancer to fix the problem. This can be
      problematic in cases where a task creates lots of threads that idle until
      woken as part of a worker poll causing a memory bandwidth problem.
      
      However, a "real" workload suffers badly from this behaviour. The workload
      in question is mostly NUMA aware but spawns large numbers of threads
      that act as a worker pool that can be called from anywhere. These need
      to spread early to get reasonable behaviour.
      
      This patch limits how much a local node can fill before spilling over
      to another node and it will not be a universal win. Specifically,
      very short-lived workloads that fit within a NUMA node would prefer
      the memory bandwidth.
      
      As I cannot describe the "real" workload, the best proxy measure I found
      for illustration was a page fault microbenchmark. It's not representative
      of the workload but demonstrates the hazard of the current behaviour.

      This is showing the time to fault regions belonging to threads. The target
      machine has 80 logical CPUs and two nodes. Note the ~30% gain when the
      machine is approximately the point where one node becomes fully utilised.
      The slower results are borderline noise.
      
      Kernel building shows similar benefits around the same balance point.
      Generally performance was either neutral or better in the tests conducted.
      The main consideration with this patch is the point where fork stops
      spreading a task so some workloads may benefit from different balance
      points but it would be a risky tuning parameter.

      sched/numa: Allow a floating imbalance between NUMA nodes · 7d2b5dd0
      Mel Gorman authored
      Currently, an imbalance is only allowed when a destination node
      is almost completely idle. This solved one basic class of problems
      and was the cautious approach.
      
      This patch revisits the possibility that NUMA nodes can be imbalanced
      until 25% of the CPUs are occupied. The reasoning behind 25% is somewhat
      superficial -- it's half the cores when HT is enabled.  At higher
      utilisations, balancing should continue as normal and keep things even
      until scheduler domains are fully busy or over utilised.
      
      Note that this is not expected to be a universal win. Any benchmark
      that prefers spreading as wide as possible with limited communication
      will favour the old behaviour as there is more memory bandwidth.
      Workloads that communicate heavily in pairs such as netperf or tbench
      benefit. For the tests I ran, the vast majority of workloads saw
      a benefit so it seems to be a worthwhile trade-off.

      sched: Avoid unnecessary calculation of load imbalance at clone time · 5c339005
      Mel Gorman authored
      In find_idlest_group(), the load imbalance is only relevant when the group
      is either overloaded or fully busy but it is calculated unconditionally.
      This patch moves the imbalance calculation to the context it is required.
      Technically, it is a micro-optimisation but really the benefit is avoiding
      confusing one type of imbalance with another depending on the group_type
      in the next patch.

      sched: Make migrate_disable/enable() independent of RT · 74d862b6
      Thomas Gleixner authored
      Now that the scheduler can deal with migrate disable properly, there is no
      real compelling reason to make it only available for RT.
      
      There are quite some code pathes which needlessly disable preemption in
      order to prevent migration and some constructs like kmap_atomic() enforce
      it implicitly.
      
      Making it available independent of RT allows to provide a preemptible
      variant of kmap_atomic() and makes the code more consistent in general.

      afs: Fix speculative status fetch going out of order wrt to modifications · a9e5c87c
      David Howells authored
      When doing a lookup in a directory, the afs filesystem uses a bulk
      status fetch to speculatively retrieve the statuses of up to 48 other
      vnodes found in the same directory and it will then either update extant
      inodes or create new ones - effectively doing 'lookup ahead'.
      
      To avoid the possibility of deadlocking itself, however, the filesystem
      doesn't lock all of those inodes; rather just the directory inode is
      locked (by the VFS).
      
      When the operation completes, afs_inode_init_from_status() or
      afs_apply_status() is called, depending on whether the inode already
      exists, to commit the new status.
      
      A case exists, however, where the speculative status fetch operation may
      straddle a modification operation on one of those vnodes.  What can then
      happen is that the speculative bulk status RPC retrieves the old status,
      and whilst that is happening, the modification happens - which returns
      an updated status, then the modification status is committed, then we
      attempt to commit the speculative status.
      
      This results in something like the following being seen in dmesg:
      
      	kAFS: vnode modified {100058:861} 8->9 YFS.InlineBulkStatus
      
      showing that for vnode 861 on volume 100058, we saw YFS.InlineBulkStatus
      say that the vnode had data version 8 when we'd already recorded version
      9 due to a local modification.  This was causing the cache to be
      invalidated for that vnode when it shouldn't have been.  If it happens
      on a data file, this might lead to local changes being lost.
      
      Fix this by ignoring speculative status updates if the data version
      doesn't match the expected value.
      
      Note that it is possible to get a DV regression if a volume gets
      restored from a backup - but we should get a callback break in such a
      case that should trigger a recheck anyway.  It might be worth checking
      the volume creation time in the volsync info and, if a change is
      observed in that (as would happen on a restore), invalidate all caches
      associated with the volume.
