      sched/idle: Micro-optimize the idle loop · 54b933c6
      Cheng Jian authored
      Move the loop-invariant calculation of 'cpu' in do_idle() out of the loop body,
      because the current CPU is always constant.
      
      This improves the generated code both on x86-64 and ARM64:

      sched/isolcpus: Fix "isolcpus=" boot parameter handling when !CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK · e22cdc3f
      Rakib Mullick authored
      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.

      sched/rt: Simplify the IPI based RT balancing logic · 4bdced5c
      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.

      sched/fair: Fix usage of find_idlest_group() when the local group is idlest · 93f50f90
      Brendan Jackman authored
      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.

      sched/fair: Fix usage of find_idlest_group() when no groups are allowed · 6fee85cc
      Brendan Jackman authored
      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).
      
      Add an explicit check for this case, and add a comment to
      find_idlest_group(). Now when find_idlest_group() returns NULL, it always
      means that the local group is allowed and idlest.

      When the local group is not allowed we do not modify this_*_load from

      of find_idlest_group cause us to incorrectly return NULL. Fixing the

      sched/fair: Force balancing on NOHZ balance if local group has capacity · 583ffd99
      Brendan Jackman authored
      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.

      sched/fair: Sync task util before slow-path wakeup · ea16f0ea
      Brendan Jackman authored
      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.

      sched/fair: Search a task from the tail of the queue · 93824900
      Uladzislau Rezki authored
      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. For example
      doing 1000 samples and 40 groups on i5-3320M CPU, it shows below
      figures:

      sched/topology: Introduce NUMA identity node sched domain · 051f3ca0
      Suravee Suthikulpanit authored
      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.

      sched/topology: Restore SD_PREFER_SIBLING on MC domains · ed4ad1ca
      Peter Zijlstra authored
      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.

      sched/deadline: Fix switching to -deadline · 295d6d5e
      Luca Abeni authored
      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.

      This patch takes out all the shiny wake_affine() stuff and goes back to
      utter basics. Between the two CPUs involved with the wakeup (the CPU
      doing the wakeup and the CPU we ran on previously) pick the CPU we can
      run on _now_.
      
      This restores much of the regressions against the older kernels,
      but leaves some ground in the overloaded case. The default-enabled
      WA_WEIGHT (which will be introduced in the next patch) is an attempt
      to address the overloaded situation.

      cdc_ether: flag the u-blox TOBY-L2 and SARA-U2 as wwan · fdfbad32
      Aleksander Morgado authored
      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.

         Fedorenko.
      
      2) Fix splat with mark restoration in xt_socket with non-full-sock,
         patch from Subash Abhinov Kasiviswanathan.
      
      3) ipset bogusly bails out when adding IPv4 range containing more than
         2^31 addresses, from Jozsef Kadlecsik.
      
      4) Incorrect pernet unregistration order in ipset, from Florian Westphal.
      
      5) Races between dump and swap in ipset results in BUG_ON splats, from
         Ross Lagerwall.
      
      6) Fix chain renames in nf_tables, from JingPiao Chen.
      
      7) Fix race in pernet codepath with ebtables table registration, from

      Sabrina Dubroca fixes the use of a logical "and" when it should have been
      the bitwise "and" operator.
      
      Ding Tianhong reverts the commit that added the Kconfig bool option
      ARCH_WANT_RELAX_ORDER, since there is now a new flag
      PCI_DEV_FLAGS_NO_RELAXED_ORDERING that has been added to indicate that
      Relaxed Ordering Attributes should not be used for Transaction Layer
      Packets.  Then follows up with making the needed changes to ixgbe to
      use the new PCI_DEV_FLAGS_NO_RELAXED_ORDERING flag.
      
      John Fastabend fixes an issue in the ring accounting when the transmit
      ring parameters are changed via ethtool when an XDP program is attached.

      udp: fix bcast packet reception · 996b44fc
      Paolo Abeni authored
      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.
