2014-04-10sched: Add support for lazy preemptionThomas Gleixner
It has become an obsession to mitigate the determinism vs. throughput loss of RT. Looking at the mainline semantics of preemption points gives a hint why RT sucks throughput wise for ordinary SCHED_OTHER tasks. One major issue is the wakeup of tasks which are right away preempting the waking task while the waking task holds a lock on which the woken task will block right after having preempted the wakee. In mainline this is prevented due to the implicit preemption disable of spin/rw_lock held regions. On RT this is not possible due to the fully preemptible nature of sleeping spinlocks. Though for a SCHED_OTHER task preempting another SCHED_OTHER task this is really not a correctness issue. RT folks are concerned about SCHED_FIFO/RR tasks preemption and not about the purely fairness driven SCHED_OTHER preemption latencies. So I introduced a lazy preemption mechanism which only applies to SCHED_OTHER tasks preempting another SCHED_OTHER task. Aside of the existing preempt_count each tasks sports now a preempt_lazy_count which is manipulated on lock acquiry and release. This is slightly incorrect as for lazyness reasons I coupled this on migrate_disable/enable so some other mechanisms get the same treatment (e.g. get_cpu_light). Now on the scheduler side instead of setting NEED_RESCHED this sets NEED_RESCHED_LAZY in case of a SCHED_OTHER/SCHED_OTHER preemption and therefor allows to exit the waking task the lock held region before the woken task preempts. That also works better for cross CPU wakeups as the other side can stay in the adaptive spinning loop. For RT class preemption there is no change. This simply sets NEED_RESCHED and forgoes the lazy preemption counter. Initial test do not expose any observable latency increasement, but history shows that I've been proven wrong before :) The lazy preemption mode is per default on, but with CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG enabled it can be disabled via: # echo NO_PREEMPT_LAZY >/sys/kernel/debug/sched_features and reenabled via # echo PREEMPT_LAZY >/sys/kernel/debug/sched_features The test results so far are very machine and workload dependent, but there is a clear trend that it enhances the non RT workload performance.

2014-03-22sched: Fix double normalization of vruntimeGeorge McCollister
commit 791c9e0292671a3bfa95286bb5c08129d8605618 upstream. dequeue_entity() is called when p->on_rq and sets se->on_rq = 0 which appears to guarentee that the !se->on_rq condition is met. If the task has done set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE) without schedule() the second condition will be met and vruntime will be incorrectly adjusted twice. In certain cases this can result in the task's vruntime never increasing past the vruntime of other tasks on the CFS' run queue, starving them of CPU time. This patch changes switched_from_fair() to use !p->on_rq instead of !se->on_rq. I'm able to cause a task with a priority of 120 to starve all other tasks with the same priority on an ARM platform running 3.2.51-rt72 PREEMPT RT by writing one character at time to a serial tty (16550 UART) in a tight loop. I'm also able to verify making this change corrects the problem on that platform and kernel version.

2014-03-12sched: Remove unnecessary iteration over sched domains to update nr_busy_cpusPreeti U Murthy
commit 37dc6b50cee97954c4e6edcd5b1fa614b76038ee upstream. nr_busy_cpus parameter is used by nohz_kick_needed() to find out the number of busy cpus in a sched domain which has SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES flag set. Therefore instead of updating nr_busy_cpus at every level of sched domain, since it is irrelevant, we can update this parameter only at the parent domain of the sd which has this flag set. Introduce a per-cpu parameter sd_busy which represents this parent domain. In nohz_kick_needed() we directly query the nr_busy_cpus parameter associated with the groups of sd_busy. By associating sd_busy with the highest domain which has SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES flag set, we cover all lower level domains which could have this flag set and trigger nohz_idle_balancing if any of the levels have more than one busy cpu. sd_busy is irrelevant for asymmetric load balancing. However sd_asym has been introduced to represent the highest sched domain which has SD_ASYM_PACKING flag set so that it can be queried directly when required. While we are at it, we might as well change the nohz_idle parameter to be updated at the sd_busy domain level alone and not the base domain level of a CPU. This will unify the concept of busy cpus at just one level of sched domain where it is currently used.

2014-03-12sched: Fix asymmetric scheduling for POWER7Vaidyanathan Srinivasan
commit 2042abe7977222ef606306faa2dce8fd51e98e65 upstream. Asymmetric scheduling within a core is a scheduler loadbalancing feature that is triggered when SD_ASYM_PACKING flag is set. The goal for the load balancer is to move tasks to lower order idle SMT threads within a core on a POWER7 system. In nohz_kick_needed(), we intend to check if our sched domain (core) is completely busy or we have idle cpu. The following check for SD_ASYM_PACKING: (cpumask_first_and(nohz.idle_cpus_mask, sched_domain_span(sd)) < cpu) already covers the case of checking if the domain has an idle cpu, because cpumask_first_and() will not yield any set bits if this domain has no idle cpu. Hence, nr_busy check against group weight can be removed.

2014-01-15sched: Guarantee new group-entities always have weightPaul Turner
commit 0ac9b1c21874d2490331233b3242085f8151e166 upstream. Currently, group entity load-weights are initialized to zero. This admits some races with respect to the first time they are re-weighted in earlty use. ( Let g[x] denote the se for "g" on cpu "x". ) Suppose that we have root->a and that a enters a throttled state, immediately followed by a[0]->t1 (the only task running on cpu[0]) blocking: put_prev_task(group_cfs_rq(a[0]), t1) put_prev_entity(..., t1) check_cfs_rq_runtime(group_cfs_rq(a[0])) throttle_cfs_rq(group_cfs_rq(a[0])) Then, before unthrottling occurs, let a[0]->b[0]->t2 wake for the first time: enqueue_task_fair(rq[0], t2) enqueue_entity(group_cfs_rq(b[0]), t2) enqueue_entity_load_avg(group_cfs_rq(b[0]), t2) account_entity_enqueue(group_cfs_ra(b[0]), t2) update_cfs_shares(group_cfs_rq(b[0])) < skipped because b is part of a throttled hierarchy > enqueue_entity(group_cfs_rq(a[0]), b[0]) ... We now have b[0] enqueued, yet group_cfs_rq(a[0])->load.weight == 0 which violates invariants in several code-paths. Eliminate the possibility of this by initializing group entity weight.

2014-01-15sched: Fix hrtimer_cancel()/rq->lock deadlockBen Segall
commit 927b54fccbf04207ec92f669dce6806848cbec7d upstream. __start_cfs_bandwidth calls hrtimer_cancel while holding rq->lock, waiting for the hrtimer to finish. However, if sched_cfs_period_timer runs for another loop iteration, the hrtimer can attempt to take rq->lock, resulting in deadlock. Fix this by ensuring that cfs_b->timer_active is cleared only if the _latest_ call to do_sched_cfs_period_timer is returning as idle. Then __start_cfs_bandwidth can just call hrtimer_try_to_cancel and wait for that to succeed or timer_active == 1.

2014-01-15sched: Fix race on toggling cfs_bandwidth_usedBen Segall
commit 1ee14e6c8cddeeb8a490d7b54cd9016e4bb900b4 upstream. When we transition cfs_bandwidth_used to false, any currently throttled groups will incorrectly return false from cfs_rq_throttled. While tg_set_cfs_bandwidth will unthrottle them eventually, currently running code (including at least dequeue_task_fair and distribute_cfs_runtime) will cause errors.

2013-12-20sched: Avoid throttle_cfs_rq() racing with period_timer stoppingBen Segall
commit f9f9ffc237dd924f048204e8799da74f9ecf40cf upstream. throttle_cfs_rq() doesn't check to make sure that period_timer is running, and while update_curr/assign_cfs_runtime does, a concurrently running period_timer on another cpu could cancel itself between this cpu's update_curr and throttle_cfs_rq(). If there are no other cfs_rqs running in the tg to restart the timer, this causes the cfs_rq to be stranded forever. Fix this by calling __start_cfs_bandwidth() in throttle if the timer is inactive. (Also add some sched_debug lines for cfs_bandwidth.) Tested: make a run/sleep task in a cgroup, loop switching the cgroup between 1ms/100ms quota and unlimited, checking for timer_active=0 and throttled=1 as a failure. With the throttle_cfs_rq() change commented out this fails, with the full patch it passes.

And before doing actual work for load_balancing, check whether this cpu is appropriate to balance via should_we_balance(). If this cpu is not a candidate for balancing, it quit the work immediately. With this change, we can save two memset cost and can expect better compiler optimization.

continuously-running tasks We typically update a task_group's shares within the dequeue/enqueue path. However, continuously running tasks sharing a CPU are not subject to these updates as they are only put/picked. Unfortunately, when we reverted f269ae046 (in 17bc14b7), we lost the augmenting periodic update that was supposed to account for this; resulting in a potential loss of fairness. To fix this, re-introduce the explicit update in update_cfs_rq_blocked_load() [called via entity_tick()].

Smart wake-affine is using node-size as the factor currently, but the overhead of the mask operation is high. Thus, this patch introduce the 'sd_llc_size' percpu variable, which will record the highest cache-share domain size, and make it to be the new factor, in order to reduce the overhead and make it more reasonable.

2013-07-23sched: Implement smarter wake-affine logicMichael Wang
The wake-affine scheduler feature is currently always trying to pull the wakee close to the waker. In theory this should be beneficial if the waker's CPU caches hot data for the wakee, and it's also beneficial in the extreme ping-pong high context switch rate case. Testing shows it can benefit hackbench up to 15%. However, the feature is somewhat blind, from which some workloads such as pgbench suffer. It's also time-consuming algorithmically. Testing shows it can damage pgbench up to 50% - far more than the benefit it brings in the best case. So wake-affine should be smarter and it should realize when to stop its thankless effort at trying to find a suitable CPU to wake on. This patch introduces 'wakee_flips', which will be increased each time the task flips (switches) its wakee target. So a high 'wakee_flips' value means the task has more than one wakee, and the bigger the number, the higher the wakeup frequency. Now when making the decision on whether to pull or not, pay attention to the wakee with a high 'wakee_flips', pulling such a task may benefit the wakee. Also imply that the waker will face cruel competition later, it could be very cruel or very fast depends on the story behind 'wakee_flips', waker therefore suffers. Furthermore, if waker also has a high 'wakee_flips', that implies that multiple tasks rely on it, then waker's higher latency will damage all of them, so pulling wakee seems to be a bad deal. Thus, when 'waker->wakee_flips / wakee->wakee_flips' becomes higher and higher, the cost of pulling seems to be worse and worse. The patch therefore helps the wake-affine feature to stop its pulling work when: wakee->wakee_flips > factor && waker->wakee_flips > (factor * wakee->wakee_flips) The 'factor' here is the number of CPUs in the current CPU's NUMA node, so a bigger node will lead to more pulling since the trial becomes more severe. After applying the patch, pgbench shows up to 40% improvements and no regressions. Tested with 12 cpu x86 server and tip 3.10.0-rc7. The percentages in the final column highlight the areas with the biggest wins, all other areas improved as well: pgbench base smart | db_size | clients | tps | | tps | +---------+---------+-------+ +-------+ | 22 MB | 1 | 10598 | | 10796 | | 22 MB | 2 | 21257 | | 21336 | | 22 MB | 4 | 41386 | | 41622 | | 22 MB | 8 | 51253 | | 57932 | | 22 MB | 12 | 48570 | | 54000 | | 22 MB | 16 | 46748 | | 55982 | +19.75% | 22 MB | 24 | 44346 | | 55847 | +25.93% | 22 MB | 32 | 43460 | | 54614 | +25.66% | 7484 MB | 1 | 8951 | | 9193 | | 7484 MB | 2 | 19233 | | 19240 | | 7484 MB | 4 | 37239 | | 37302 | | 7484 MB | 8 | 46087 | | 50018 | | 7484 MB | 12 | 42054 | | 48763 | | 7484 MB | 16 | 40765 | | 51633 | +26.66% | 7484 MB | 24 | 37651 | | 52377 | +39.11% | 7484 MB | 32 | 37056 | | 51108 | +37.92% | 15 GB | 1 | 8845 | | 9104 | | 15 GB | 2 | 19094 | | 19162 | | 15 GB | 4 | 36979 | | 36983 | | 15 GB | 8 | 46087 | | 49977 | | 15 GB | 12 | 41901 | | 48591 | | 15 GB | 16 | 40147 | | 50651 | +26.16% | 15 GB | 24 | 37250 | | 52365 | +40.58% | 15 GB | 32 | 36470 | | 50015 | +37.14% Signed-off-by: Michael Wang <wangyun@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/51D50057.9000809@linux.vnet.ibm.com [ Improved the changelog. ] Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
2013-07-23sched: Move h_load calculation to task_h_load()Vladimir Davydov
The bad thing about update_h_load(), which computes hierarchical load factor for task groups, is that it is called for each task group in the system before every load balancer run, and since rebalance can be triggered very often, this function can eat really a lot of cpu time if there are many cpu cgroups in the system. Although the situation was improved significantly by commit a35b646 ('sched, cgroup: Reduce rq->lock hold times for large cgroup hierarchies'), the problem still can arise under some kinds of loads, e.g. when cpus are switching from idle to busy and back very frequently. For instance, when I start 1000 of processes that wake up every millisecond on my 8 cpus host, 'top' and 'perf top' show: Cpu(s): 17.8%us, 24.3%sy, 0.0%ni, 57.9%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si Events: 243K cycles 7.57% [kernel] [k] __schedule 7.08% [kernel] [k] timerqueue_add 6.13% libc-2.12.so [.] usleep Then if I create 10000 *idle* cpu cgroups (no processes in them), cpu usage increases significantly although the 'wakers' are still executing in the root cpu cgroup: Cpu(s): 19.1%us, 48.7%sy, 0.0%ni, 31.6%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.7%si Events: 230K cycles 24.56% [kernel] [k] tg_load_down 5.76% [kernel] [k] __schedule This happens because this particular kind of load triggers 'new idle' rebalance very frequently, which requires calling update_h_load(), which, in turn, calls tg_load_down() for every *idle* cpu cgroup even though it is absolutely useless, because idle cpu cgroups have no tasks to pull. This patch tries to improve the situation by making h_load calculation proceed only when h_load is really necessary. To achieve this, it substitutes update_h_load() with update_cfs_rq_h_load(), which computes h_load only for a given cfs_rq and all its ascendants, and makes the load balancer call this function whenever it considers if a task should be pulled, i.e. it moves h_load calculations directly to task_h_load(). For h_load of the same cfs_rq not to be updated multiple times (in case several tasks in the same cgroup are considered during the same balance run), the patch keeps the time of the last h_load update for each cfs_rq and breaks calculation when it finds h_load to be uptodate. The benefit of it is that h_load is computed only for those cfs_rq's, which really need it, in particular all idle task groups are skipped. Although this, in fact, moves h_load calculation under rq lock, it should not affect latency much, because the amount of work done under rq lock while trying to pull tasks is limited by sched_nr_migrate. After the patch applied with the setup described above (1000 wakers in the root cgroup and 10000 idle cgroups), I get: Cpu(s): 16.9%us, 24.8%sy, 0.0%ni, 58.4%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si Events: 242K cycles 7.57% [kernel] [k] __schedule 6.70% [kernel] [k] timerqueue_add 5.93% libc-2.12.so [.] usleep Signed-off-by: Vladimir Davydov <vdavydov@parallels.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1373896159-1278-1-git-send-email-vdavydov@parallels.com Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

2013-07-14kernel: delete __cpuinit usage from all core kernel filesPaul Gortmaker
The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time") is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created with improper use of the various __init prefixes. After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone, we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h. This removes all the uses of the __cpuinit macros from C files in the core kernel directories (kernel, init, lib, mm, and include) that don't really have a specific maintainer.
