sched/rt: Plug rt_mutex_setprio() vs push_rt_task() race
John reported that push_rt_task() can end up invoking find_lowest_rq(rq->curr) when curr is not an RT task (in this case a CFS one), which causes mayhem down convert_prio(). This can happen when current gets demoted to e.g. CFS when releasing an rt_mutex, and the local CPU gets hit with an rto_push_work irqwork before getting the chance to reschedule. Exactly who triggers this work isn't entirely clear to me - switched_from_rt() only invokes rt_queue_pull_task() if there are no RT tasks on the local RQ, which means the local CPU can't be in the rto_mask. My current suspected sequence is something along the lines of the below, with the demoted task being current. mark_wakeup_next_waiter() rt_mutex_adjust_prio() rt_mutex_setprio() // deboost originally-CFS task check_class_changed() switched_from_rt() // Only rt_queue_pull_task() if !rq->rt.rt_nr_running switched_to_fair() // Sets need_resched __balance_callbacks() // if pull_rt_task(), tell_cpu_to_push() can't select local CPU per the above raw_spin_rq_unlock(rq) // need_resched is set, so task_woken_rt() can't // invoke push_rt_tasks(). Best I can come up with is // local CPU has rt_nr_migratory >= 2 after the demotion, so stays // in the rto_mask, and then: <some other CPU running rto_push_irq_work_func() queues rto_push_work on this CPU> push_rt_task() // breakage follows here as rq->curr is CFS Move an existing check to check rq->curr vs the next pushable task's priority before getting anywhere near find_lowest_rq(). While at it, add an explicit sched_class of rq->curr check prior to invoking find_lowest_rq(rq->curr). Align the DL logic to also reschedule regardless of next_task's migratability.
