As Kirill mentioned (https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/1/29/118): | If rq has already had 2 or more pushable tasks and we try to add a | pinned task then call of push_rt_task will just waste a time. Just switched pinned task is not able to be pushed. If the rq has had several dl tasks before they have already been considered as candidates to be pushed (or pulled). This patch implements the same behavior as rt class which introduced by commit 10447917 ("sched/rt: Do not try to push tasks if pinned task switches to RT"). Suggested-by:

task_preempt_count() is pointless if preemption counter is per-cpu, currently this is x86 only. It is only valid if the task is not running, and even in this case the only info it can provide is the state of PREEMPT_ACTIVE bit. Change its single caller to check p->on_rq instead, this should be the same if p->state != TASK_RUNNING, and kill this helper. Signed-off-by:

Both callers of finish_task_switch() need to recalculate this_rq() and pass it as an argument, plus __schedule() does this again after context_switch(). It would be simpler to call this_rq() once in finish_task_switch() and return the this rq to the callers. Note: probably "int cpu" in __schedule() should die; it is not used and both rcu_note_context_switch() and wq_worker_sleeping() do not really need this argument. Signed-off-by:

finish_task_switch() enables preemption, so post_schedule(rq) can be called on the wrong (and even dead) CPU. Afaics, nothing really bad can happen, but in this case we can wrongly clear rq->post_schedule on that CPU. And this simply looks wrong in any case. Signed-off-by:

task_preempt_count() has nothing to do with the actual preempt counter, thread_info->saved_preempt_count is only valid right after switch_to(). __trace_sched_switch_state() can use preempt_count(), prev is still the current task when trace_sched_switch() is called. Signed-off-by:

In pseudo-interleaved numa_groups, all tasks try to relocate to the group's preferred_nid. When a group is spread across multiple NUMA nodes, this can lead to tasks swapping their location with other tasks inside the same group, instead of swapping location with tasks from other NUMA groups. This can keep NUMA groups from converging. Examining all nodes, when dealing with a task in a pseudo-interleaved NUMA group, avoids this problem. Note that only CPUs in nodes that improve the task or group score are examined, so the loop isn't too bad. Tested-by:

On systems with complex NUMA topologies, the node scoring is adjusted to allow workloads to converge on nodes that are near each other. The way a task group's preferred nid is determined needs to be adjusted, in order for the preferred_nid to be consistent with group_weight scoring. This ensures that we actually try to converge workloads on adjacent nodes. Signed-off-by:

In order to do task placement on systems with complex NUMA topologies, it is necessary to count the faults on nodes nearby the node that is being examined for a potential move. In case of a system with a backplane interconnect, we are dealing with groups of NUMA nodes; each of the nodes within a group is the same number of hops away from nodes in other groups in the system. Optimal placement on this topology is achieved by counting all nearby nodes equally. When comparing nodes A and B at distance N, nearby nodes are those at distances smaller than N from nodes A or B. Placement strategy on a system with a glueless mesh NUMA topology needs to be different, because there are no natural groups of nodes determined by the hardware. Instead, when dealing with two nodes A and B at distance N, N >= 2, there will be intermediate nodes at distance < N from both nodes A and B. Good placement can be achieved by right shifting the faults on nearby nodes by the number of hops from the node being scored. In this context, a nearby node is any node less than the maximum distance in the system away from the node. Those nodes are skipped for efficiency reasons, there is no real policy reason to do so. Placement policy on directly connected NUMA systems is not affected. Signed-off-by:

Preparatory patch for adding NUMA placement on systems with complex NUMA topology. Also fix a potential divide by zero in group_weight() Signed-off-by:

Rik van Riel authored
Smaller NUMA systems tend to have all NUMA nodes directly connected to each other. This includes the degenerate case of a system with just one node, ie. a non-NUMA system. Larger systems can have two kinds of NUMA topology, which affects how tasks and memory should be placed on the system. On glueless mesh systems, nodes that are not directly connected to each other will bounce traffic through intermediary nodes. Task groups can be run closer to each other by moving tasks from a node to an intermediary node between it and the task's preferred node. On NUMA systems with backplane controllers, the intermediary hops are incapable of running programs. This creates "islands" of nodes that are at an equal distance to anywhere else in the system. Each kind of topology requires a slightly different placement algorithm; this patch provides the mechanism to detect the kind of NUMA topology of a system. Signed-off-by:

1) switched_to_dl() check is wrong. We reschedule only if rq->curr is deadline task, and we do not reschedule if it's a lower priority task. But we must always preempt a task of other classes. 2) dl_task_timer(): Policy does not change in case of priority inheritance. rt_mutex_setprio() changes prio, while policy remains old. So we lose some balancing logic in dl_task_timer() and switched_to_dl() when we check policy instead of priority. Boosted task may be rq->curr. (I didn't change switched_from_dl() because no check is necessary there at all). I've looked at this place(switched_to_dl) several times and even fixed this function, but found just now... I suppose some performance tests may work better after this. Signed-off-by:

preempt_schedule_context() does preempt_enable_notrace() at the end and this can call the same function again; exception_exit() is heavy and it is quite possible that need-resched is true again. 1. Change this code to dec preempt_count() and check need_resched() by hand. 2. As Linus suggested, we can use the PREEMPT_ACTIVE bit and avoid the enable/disable dance around __schedule(). But in this case we need to move into sched/core.c. 3. Cosmetic, but x86 forgets to declare this function. This doesn't really matter because it is only called by asm helpers, still it make sense to add the declaration into asm/preempt.h to match preempt_schedule(). Reported-by:

While offling node by hot removing memory, the following divide error occurs: divide error: 0000 [#1] SMP [...] Call Trace: [...] handle_mm_fault [...] ? try_to_wake_up [...] ? wake_up_state [...] __do_page_fault [...] ? do_futex [...] ? put_prev_entity [...] ? __switch_to [...] do_page_fault [...] page_fault [...] RIP [<ffffffff810a7081>] task_numa_fault RSP <ffff88084eb2bcb0> The issue occurs as follows: 1. When page fault occurs and page is allocated from node 1, task_struct->numa_faults_buffer_memory[] of node 1 is incremented and p->numa_faults_locality[] is also incremented as follows: o numa_faults_buffer_memory[] o numa_faults_locality[] NR_NUMA_HINT_FAULT_TYPES | 0 | 1 | ---------------------------------- ---------------------- node 0 | 0 | 0 | remote | 0 | node 1 | 0 | 1 | locale | 1 | ---------------------------------- ---------------------- 2. node 1 is offlined by hot removing memory. 3. When page fault occurs, fault_types[] is calculated by using p->numa_faults_buffer_memory[] of all online nodes in task_numa_placement(). But node 1 was offline by step 2. So the fault_types[] is calculated by using only p->numa_faults_buffer_memory[] of node 0. So both of fault_types[] are set to 0. 4. The values(0) of fault_types[] pass to update_task_scan_period(). 5. numa_faults_locality[1] is set to 1. So the following division is calculated. static void update_task_scan_period(struct task_struct *p, unsigned long shared, unsigned long private){ ... ratio = DIV_ROUND_UP(private * NUMA_PERIOD_SLOTS, (private + shared)); } 6. But both of private and shared are set to 0. So divide error occurs here. The divide error is rare case because the trigger is node offline. This patch always increments denominator for avoiding divide error. Signed-off-by:Yasuaki Ishimatsu <isimatu.yasuaki@jp.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by:

Unlocked access to dst_rq->curr in task_numa_compare() is racy. If curr task is exiting this may be a reason of use-after-free: task_numa_compare() do_exit() ... current->flags |= PF_EXITING; ... release_task() ... ~~delayed_put_task_struct()~~ ... schedule() rcu_read_lock() ... cur = ACCESS_ONCE(dst_rq->curr) ... ... rq->curr = next; ... context_switch() ... finish_task_switch() ... put_task_struct() ... __put_task_struct() ... free_task_struct() task_numa_assign() ... get_task_struct() ... As noted by Oleg: <<The lockless get_task_struct(tsk) is only safe if tsk == current and didn't pass exit_notify(), or if this tsk was found on a rcu protected list (say, for_each_process() or find_task_by_vpid()). IOW, it is only safe if release_task() was not called before we take rcu_read_lock(), in this case we can rely on the fact that delayed_put_pid() can not drop the (potentially) last reference until rcu_read_unlock(). And as Kirill pointed out task_numa_compare()->task_numa_assign() path does get_task_struct(dst_rq->curr) and this is not safe. The task_struct itself can't go away, but rcu_read_lock() can't save us from the final put_task_struct() in finish_task_switch(); this reference goes away without rcu gp>> The patch provides simple check of PF_EXITING flag. If it's not set, this guarantees that call_rcu() of delayed_put_task_struct() callback hasn't happened yet, so we can safely do get_task_struct() in task_numa_assign(). Locked dst_rq->lock protects from concurrency with the last schedule(). Reusing or unmapping of cur's memory may happen without it. Suggested-by: -

dl_task_timer() is racy against several paths. Daniel noticed that the replenishment timer may experience a race condition against an enqueue_dl_entity() called from rt_mutex_setprio(). With his own words: rt_mutex_setprio() resets p->dl.dl_throttled. So the pattern is: start_dl_timer() throttled = 1, rt_mutex_setprio() throlled = 0, sched_switch() -> enqueue_task(), dl_task_timer-> enqueue_task() throttled is 0 => BUG_ON(on_dl_rq(dl_se)) fires as the scheduling entity is already enqueued on the -deadline runqueue. As we do for the other races, we just bail out in the replenishment timer code. Reported-by:

In the deboost path, right after the dl_boosted flag has been reset, we can currently end up replenishing using -deadline parameters of a !SCHED_DEADLINE entity. This of course causes a bug, as those parameters are empty. In the case depicted above it is safe to simply bail out, as the deboosted task is going to be back to its original scheduling class anyway. Reported-by:

The race may happen when somebody is changing task_group of a forking task. Child's cgroup is the same as parent's after dup_task_struct() (there just memory copying). Also, cfs_rq and rt_rq are the same as parent's. But if parent changes its task_group before it's called cgroup_post_fork(), we do not reflect this situation on child. Child's cfs_rq and rt_rq remain the same, while child's task_group changes in cgroup_post_fork(). To fix this we introduce fork() method, which calls sched_move_task() directly. This function changes sched_task_group on appropriate (also its logic has no problem with freshly created tasks, so we shouldn't introduce something special; we are able just to use it). Possibly, this decides the Burke Libbey's problem: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/10/24/456Signed-off-by:

Pull ACPI and power management updates from Rafael Wysocki: "This is material that didn't make it to my 3.18-rc1 pull request for various reasons, mostly related to timing and travel (LinuxCon EU / LPC) plus a couple of fixes for recent bugs. The only really new thing here is the PM QoS class for memory bandwidth, but it is simple enough and users of it will be added in the next cycle. One major change in behavior is that platform devices enumerated by ACPI will use 32-bit DMA mask by default. Also included is an ACPICA update to a new upstream release, but that's mostly cleanups, changes in tools and similar. The rest is fixes and cleanups mostly. Specifics: - Fix for a recent PCI power management change that overlooked the fact that some IRQ chips might not be able to configure PCIe PME for system wakeup from Lucas Stach. - Fix for a bug introduced in 3.17 where acpi_device_wakeup() is called with a wrong ordering of arguments from Zhang Rui. - A bunch of intel_pstate driver fixes (all -stable candidates) from Dirk Brandewie, Gabriele Mazzotta and Pali Rohár. - Fixes for a rather long-standing problem with the OOM killer and the freezer that frozen processes killed by the OOM do not actually release any memory until they are thawed, so OOM-killing them is rather pointless, with a couple of cleanups on top (Michal Hocko, Cong Wang, Rafael J Wysocki). - ACPICA update to upstream release 20140926, inlcuding mostly cleanups reducing differences between the upstream ACPICA and the kernel code, tools changes (acpidump, acpiexec) and support for the _DDN object (Bob Moore, Lv Zheng). - New PM QoS class for memory bandwidth from Tomeu Vizoso. - Default 32-bit DMA mask for platform devices enumerated by ACPI (this change is mostly needed for some drivers development in progress targeted at 3.19) from Heikki Krogerus. - ACPI EC driver cleanups, mostly related to debugging, from Lv Zheng. - cpufreq-dt driver updates from Thomas Petazzoni. - powernv cpuidle driver update from Preeti U Murthy" * tag 'pm+acpi-3.18-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm: (34 commits) intel_pstate: Correct BYT VID values. intel_pstate: Fix BYT frequency reporting intel_pstate: Don't lose sysfs settings during cpu offline cpufreq: intel_pstate: Reflect current no_turbo state correctly cpufreq: expose scaling_cur_freq sysfs file for set_policy() drivers cpufreq: intel_pstate: Fix setting max_perf_pct in performance policy PCI / PM: handle failure to enable wakeup on PCIe PME ACPI: invoke acpi_device_wakeup() with correct parameters PM / freezer: Clean up code after recent fixes PM: convert do_each_thread to for_each_process_thread OOM, PM: OOM killed task shouldn't escape PM suspend freezer: remove obsolete comments in __thaw_task() freezer: Do not freeze tasks killed by OOM killer ACPI / platform: provide default DMA mask cpuidle: powernv: Populate cpuidle state details by querying the device-tree cpufreq: cpufreq-dt: adjust message related to regulators cpufreq: cpufreq-dt: extend with platform_data cpufreq: allow driver-specific data ACPI / EC: Cleanup coding style.

Pull thermal management updates from Zhang Rui: "Sorry that I missed the merge window as there is a bug found in the last minute, and I have to fix it and wait for the code to be tested in linux-next tree for a few days. Now the buggy patch has been dropped entirely from my next branch. Thus I hope those changes can still be merged in 3.18-rc2 as most of them are platform thermal driver changes. Specifics: - introduce ACPI INT340X thermal drivers. Newer laptops and tablets may have thermal sensors and other devices with thermal control capabilities that are exposed for the OS to use via the ACPI INT340x device objects. Several drivers are introduced to expose the temperature information and cooling ability from these objects to user-space via the normal thermal framework. From: Lu Aaron, Lan Tianyu, Jacob Pan and Zhang Rui. - introduce a new thermal governor, which just uses a hysteresis to switch abruptly on/off a cooling device. This governor can be used to control certain fan devices that can not be throttled but just switched on or off. From: Peter Feuerer. - introduce support for some new thermal interrupt functions on i.MX6SX, in IMX thermal driver. From: Anson, Huang. - introduce tracing support on thermal framework. From: Punit Agrawal. - small fixes in OF thermal and thermal step_wise governor" * 'next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rzhang/linux: (25 commits) Thermal: int340x thermal: select ACPI fan driver Thermal: int3400_thermal: use acpi_thermal_rel parsing APIs Thermal: int340x_thermal: expose acpi thermal relationship tables Thermal: introduce int3403 thermal driver Thermal: introduce INT3402 thermal driver Thermal: move the KELVIN_TO_MILLICELSIUS macro to thermal.h ACPI / Fan: support INT3404 thermal device ACPI / Fan: add ACPI 4.0 style fan support ACPI / fan: convert to platform driver ACPI / fan: use acpi_device_xxx_power instead of acpi_bus equivelant ACPI / fan: remove no need check for device pointer ACPI / fan: remove unused macro Thermal: int3400 thermal: register to thermal framework Thermal: int3400 thermal: add capability to detect supporting UUIDs Thermal: introduce int3400 thermal driver ACPI: add ACPI_TYPE_LOCAL_REFERENCE support to acpi_extract_package() ACPI: make acpi_create_platform_device() an external API thermal: step_wise: fix: Prevent from binary overflow when trend is dropping ACPI: introduce ACPI int340x thermal scan handler thermal: Added Bang-bang thermal governor ... -

With 48-bit VA space, the 64K page configuration uses 3 levels instead of 2 and PUD_SIZE != PMD_SIZE. Since with 64K pages we only cover PMD_SIZE with the initial swapper_pg_dir populated in head.S, the memblock current_limit needs to be set accordingly in map_mem() to avoid allocating unmapped memory. The memblock current_limit is progressively increased as more blocks are mapped. Signed-off-by:Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>
