sched/rt: Optimize checking group RT scheduler constraints
Group RT scheduler contains protection against setting zero runtime for cgroup with RT tasks. Right now function tg_set_rt_bandwidth() iterates over all CPU cgroups and calls tg_has_rt_tasks() for any cgroup which runtime is zero (not only for changed one). Default RT runtime is zero, thus tg_has_rt_tasks() will is called for almost at CPU cgroups. This protection already is slightly racy: runtime limit could be changed between cpu_cgroup_can_attach() and cpu_cgroup_attach() because changing cgroup attribute does not lock cgroup_mutex while attach does not lock rt_constraints_mutex. Changing task scheduler class also races with changing rt runtime: check in __sched_setscheduler() isn't protected. Function tg_has_rt_tasks() iterates over all threads in the system. This gives NR_CGROUPS * NR_TASKS operations under single tasklist_lock locked for read tg_set_rt_bandwidth(). Any concurrent attempt of locking tasklist_lock for write (for example fork) will stuck with disabled irqs. This patch makes two optimizations: 1) Remove locking tasklist_lock and iterate only tasks in cgroup 2) Call tg_has_rt_tasks() iff rt runtime changes from non-zero to zero All changed code is under CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED. Testcase: # mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/test{1..10000} # echo 0 | tee /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/test*/cpu.rt_runtime_us At the same time without patch fork time will be >100ms: # perf trace -e clone --duration 100 stress-ng --fork 1 Also remote ping will show timings >100ms caused by irq latency.
