The housekeeping code is currently tied to the NOHZ code. As we are planning to make housekeeping independent from it, start with moving the relevant code to its own file.

cpulist_parse() uses nr_cpumask_bits as a limit to parse the passed buffer from kernel commandline. What nr_cpumask_bits represents varies depending upon the CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK option: - If CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=n, then nr_cpumask_bits is the same as NR_CPUS, which might not represent the # of CPUs that really exist (default 64). So, there's a chance of a gap between nr_cpu_ids and NR_CPUS, which ultimately lead towards invalid cpulist_parse() operation. For example, if isolcpus=9 is passed on an 8 cpu system (CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=n) it doesn't show the error that it's supposed to. This patch fixes this bug by finding the last CPU of the passed isolcpus= list and checking it against nr_cpu_ids. It also fixes the error message where the nr_cpu_ids should be nr_cpu_ids-1, since CPU numbering starts from 0.

Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) authored
When a CPU lowers its priority (schedules out a high priority task for a lower priority one), a check is made to see if any other CPU has overloaded RT tasks (more than one). It checks the rto_mask to determine this and if so it will request to pull one of those tasks to itself if the non running RT task is of higher priority than the new priority of the next task to run on the current CPU. When we deal with large number of CPUs, the original pull logic suffered from large lock contention on a single CPU run queue, which caused a huge latency across all CPUs. This was caused by only having one CPU having overloaded RT tasks and a bunch of other CPUs lowering their priority. To solve this issue, commit: b6366f04 ("sched/rt: Use IPI to trigger RT task push migration instead of pulling") changed the way to request a pull. Instead of grabbing the lock of the overloaded CPU's runqueue, it simply sent an IPI to that CPU to do the work. Although the IPI logic worked very well in removing the large latency build up, it still could suffer from a large number of IPIs being sent to a single CPU. On a 80 CPU box, I measured over 200us of processing IPIs. Worse yet, when I tested this on a 120 CPU box, with a stress test that had lots of RT tasks scheduling on all CPUs, it actually triggered the hard lockup detector! One CPU had so many IPIs sent to it, and due to the restart mechanism that is triggered when the source run queue has a priority status change, the CPU spent minutes! processing the IPIs. Thinking about this further, I realized there's no reason for each run queue to send its own IPI. As all CPUs with overloaded tasks must be scanned regardless if there's one or many CPUs lowering their priority, because there's no current way to find the CPU with the highest priority task that can schedule to one of these CPUs, there really only needs to be one IPI being sent around at a time. This greatly simplifies the code! The new approach is to have each root domain have its own irq work, as the rto_mask is per root domain. The root domain has the following fields attached to it: rto_push_work - the irq work to process each CPU set in rto_mask rto_lock - the lock to protect some of the other rto fields rto_loop_start - an atomic that keeps contention down on rto_lock the first CPU scheduling in a lower priority task is the one to kick off the process. rto_loop_next - an atomic that gets incremented for each CPU that schedules in a lower priority task. rto_loop - a variable protected by rto_lock that is used to compare against rto_loop_next rto_cpu - The cpu to send the next IPI to, also protected by the rto_lock. When a CPU schedules in a lower priority task and wants to make sure overloaded CPUs know about it. It increments the rto_loop_next. Then it atomically sets rto_loop_start with a cmpxchg. If the old value is not "0", then it is done, as another CPU is kicking off the IPI loop. If the old value is "0", then it will take the rto_lock to synchronize with a possible IPI being sent around to the overloaded CPUs. If rto_cpu is greater than or equal to nr_cpu_ids, then there's either no IPI being sent around, or one is about to finish. Then rto_cpu is set to the first CPU in rto_mask and an IPI is sent to that CPU. If there's no CPUs set in rto_mask, then there's nothing to be done. When the CPU receives the IPI, it will first try to push any RT tasks that is queued on the CPU but can't run because a higher priority RT task is currently running on that CPU. Then it takes the rto_lock and looks for the next CPU in the rto_mask. If it finds one, it simply sends an IPI to that CPU and the process continues. If there's no more CPUs in the rto_mask, then rto_loop is compared with rto_loop_next. If they match, everything is done and the process is over. If they do not match, then a CPU scheduled in a lower priority task as the IPI was being passed around, and the process needs to start again. The first CPU in rto_mask is sent the IPI. This change removes this duplication of work in the IPI logic, and greatly lowers the latency caused by the IPIs. This removed the lockup happening on the 120 CPU machine. It also simplifies the code tremendously. What else could anyone ask for? Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for simplifying the rto_loop_start atomic logic and supplying me with the rto_start_trylock() and rto_start_unlock() helper functions.

find_idlest_group() returns NULL when the local group is idlest. The caller then continues the find_idlest_group() search at a lower level of the current CPU's sched_domain hierarchy. find_idlest_group_cpu() is not consulted and, crucially, @new_cpu is not updated. This means the search is pointless and we return @prev_cpu from select_task_rq_fair(). This is fixed by initialising @new_cpu to @cpu instead of @prev_cpu.

When 'p' is not allowed on any of the CPUs in the sched_domain, we currently return NULL from find_idlest_group(), and pointlessly continue the search on lower sched_domain levels (where 'p' is also not allowed) before returning prev_cpu regardless (as we have not updated new_cpu).

The "goto force_balance" here is intended to mitigate the fact that avg_load calculations can result in bad placement decisions when priority is asymmetrical. The original commit that adds it: fab47622 ("sched: Force balancing on newidle balance if local group has capacity") explains: Under certain situations, such as a niced down task (i.e. nice = -15) in the presence of nr_cpus NICE0 tasks, the niced task lands on a sched group and kicks away other tasks because of its large weight. This leads to sub-optimal utilization of the machine. Even though the sched group has capacity, it does not pull tasks because sds.this_load >> sds.max_load, and f_b_g() returns NULL. A similar but inverted issue also affects ARM big.LITTLE (asymmetrical CPU capacity) systems - consider 8 always-running, same-priority tasks on a system with 4 "big" and 4 "little" CPUs. Suppose that 5 of them end up on the "big" CPUs (which will be represented by one sched_group in the DIE sched_domain) and 3 on the "little" (the other sched_group in DIE), leaving one CPU unused. Because the "big" group has a higher group_capacity its avg_load may not present an imbalance that would cause migrating a task to the idle "little". The force_balance case here solves the problem but currently only for CPU_NEWLY_IDLE balances, which in theory might never happen on the unused CPU. Including CPU_IDLE in the force_balance case means there's an upper bound on the time before we can attempt to solve the underutilization: after DIE's sd->balance_interval has passed the next nohz balance kick will help us out.

We use task_util() in find_idlest_group() via capacity_spare_wake(). This task_util() updated in wake_cap(). However wake_cap() is not the only reason for ending up in find_idlest_group() - we could have been sent there by wake_wide(). So explicitly sync the task util with prev_cpu when we are about to head to find_idlest_group(). We could simply do this at the beginning of select_task_rq_fair() (i.e. irrespective of whether we're heading to select_idle_sibling() or find_idlest_group() & co), but I didn't want to slow down the select_idle_sibling() path more than necessary. Don't do this during fork balancing, we won't need the task_util and we'd just clobber the last_update_time, which is supposed to be 0.

As a first step this patch makes cfs_tasks list as MRU one. It means, that when a next task is picked to run on physical CPU it is moved to the front of the list. Therefore, the cfs_tasks list is more or less sorted (except woken tasks) starting from recently given CPU time tasks toward tasks with max wait time in a run-queue, i.e. MRU list. Second, as part of the load balance operation, this approach starts detach_tasks()/detach_one_task() from the tail of the queue instead of the head, giving some advantages: - tends to pick a task with highest wait time; - tasks located in the tail are less likely cache-hot, therefore the can_migrate_task() decision is higher. hackbench illustrates slightly better performance.

On AMD Family17h-based (EPYC) system, a logical NUMA node can contain upto 8 cores (16 threads) with the following topology. ---------------------------- C0 | T0 T1 | || | T0 T1 | C4 --------| || |-------- C1 | T0 T1 | L3 || L3 | T0 T1 | C5 --------| || |-------- C2 | T0 T1 | #0 || #1 | T0 T1 | C6 --------| || |-------- C3 | T0 T1 | || | T0 T1 | C7 ---------------------------- Here, there are 2 last-level (L3) caches per logical NUMA node. A socket can contain upto 4 NUMA nodes, and a system can support upto 2 sockets. With full system configuration, current scheduler creates 4 sched domains: domain0 SMT (span a core) domain1 MC (span a last-level-cache) domain2 NUMA (span a socket: 4 nodes) domain3 NUMA (span a system: 8 nodes) Note that there is no domain to represent cpus spaning a logical NUMA node. With this hierarchy of sched domains, the scheduler does not balance properly in the following cases: Case1: When running 8 tasks, a properly balanced system should schedule a task per logical NUMA node. This is not the case for the current scheduler. Case2: In some cases, threads are scheduled on the same cpu, while other cpus are idle. This results in run-to-run inconsistency. For example: taskset -c 0-7 sysbench --num-threads=8 --test=cpu \ --cpu-max-prime=100000 run Total execution time ranges from 25.1s to 33.5s depending on threads placement, where 25.1s is when all 8 threads are balanced properly on 8 cpus. Introducing NUMA identity node sched domain, which is based on how SRAT/SLIT table define a logical NUMA node. This results in the following hierarchy of sched domains on the same system described above. domain0 SMT (span a core) domain1 MC (span a last-level-cache) domain2 NODE (span a logical NUMA node) domain3 NUMA (span a socket: 4 nodes) domain4 NUMA (span a system: 8 nodes) This fixes the improper load balancing cases mentioned above.

The normal x86_topology on NHM+ machines degenerates because the MC and CPU domains are of the same size, therefore MC inherits SD_PREFER_SIBLING from CPU (which then gets taken out). The result is that we'll spread tasks across the first NUMA level in order to maximize cache utilization. However, for the x86_numa_in_package_topology we loose the CPU domain, and we'll not have SD_PREFER_SIBLING set anywhere, giving a distinct difference in behaviour. Commit: 8e7fbcbc ("sched: Remove stale power aware scheduling remnants and dysfunctional knobs") made a fail by not preserving the SD_PREFER_SIBLING for the !power_saving case on both CPU and MC. Then commit: 6956dc56 ("sched/numa: Add SD_PERFER_SIBLING to CPU domain") adds it back to the CPU but not MC. Restore that now, such that we get consistent spreading behaviour wrt L3 and NUMA.

Ask the compiler to use a single bit for storing true / false values, instead of wasting the size of a whole int value. Tested with gcc 5.4.0 on x86_64, and the compiler produces the expected Assembly (similar to the Assembly code generated when explicitly accessing the bits with bitmasks, "&" and "|").

Fix a bug introduced in: 72f9f3fd ("sched/deadline: Remove dl_new from struct sched_dl_entity") After that commit, when switching to -deadline if the scheduling deadline of a task is in the past then switched_to_dl() calls setup_new_entity() to properly initialize the scheduling deadline and runtime. The problem is that the task is enqueued _before_ having its parameters initialized by setup_new_entity(), and this can cause problems. For example, a task with its out-of-date deadline in the past will potentially be enqueued as the highest priority one; however, its adjusted deadline may not be the earliest one. This patch fixes the problem by initializing the task's parameters before enqueuing it.

The u-blox TOBY-L2 is a LTE Cat 4 module with HSPA+ and 2G fallback. This module allows switching to different USB profiles with the 'AT+UUSBCONF' command, and provides a ECM network interface when the 'AT+UUSBCONF=2' profile is selected. The u-blox SARA-U2 is a HSPA module with 2G fallback. The default USB configuration includes a ECM network interface. Both these modules are controlled via AT commands through one of the TTYs exposed. Connecting these modules may be done just by activating the desired PDP context with 'AT+CGACT=1,<cid>' and then running DHCP on the ECM interface.

The commit bc044e8d ("udp: perform source validation for mcast early demux") does not take into account that broadcast packets lands in the same code path and they need different checks for the source address - notably, zero source address are valid for bcast and invalid for mcast. As a result, 2nd and later broadcast packets with 0 source address landing to the same socket are dropped. This breaks dhcp servers. Since we don't have stringent performance requirements for ingress broadcast traffic, fix it by disabling UDP early demux such traffic.

It turns out that multiple places can call netlink_dump(), which means it's still possible to dereference partially initialized values in dump() that were the result of a faulty returned start(). This fixes the issue by calling start() _before_ setting cb_running to true, so that there's no chance at all of hitting the dump() function through any indirect paths. It also moves the call to start() to be when the mutex is held. This has the nice side effect of serializing invocations to start(), which is likely desirable anyway. It also prevents any possible other races that might come out of this logic. In testing this with several different pieces of tricky code to trigger these issues, this commit fixes all avenues that I'm aware of. Signed-off-by: Jason A.

A recent patch removed the dst_free() on the allocated dst_entry in ipv4_blackhole_route(). The dst_free() marked the dst_entry as dead and added it to the gc list. I.e. it was setup for a one time usage. As a result we may now have a blackhole route cached at a socket on some IPsec scenarios. This makes the connection unusable. Fix this by marking the dst_entry directly at allocation time as 'dead', so it is used only once.
