Some UCs like 9 always running tasks on 8 CPUs can't be balanced and the load balancer currently migrates the waiting task between the CPUs in an almost random manner. The success of a rq pulling a task depends of the value of nr_balance_failed of its domains and its ability to be faster than others to detach it. This behavior results in an unfair distribution of the running time between tasks because some CPUs will run most of the time, if not always, the same task whereas others will share their time between several tasks. Instead of using nr_balance_failed as a boolean to relax the condition for detaching task, the LB will use nr_balanced_failed to relax the threshold between the tasks'load and the imbalance. This mecanism prevents the same rq or domain to always win the load balance fight. Signed-off-by:

We've met problems that occasionally tasks with full cpumask (e.g. by putting it into a cpuset or setting to full affinity) were migrated to our isolated cpus in production environment. After some analysis, we found that it is due to the current select_idle_smt() not considering the sched_domain mask. Steps to reproduce on my 31-CPU hyperthreads machine: 1. with boot parameter: "isolcpus=domain,2-31" (thread lists: 0,16 and 1,17) 2. cgcreate -g cpu:test; cgexec -g cpu:test "test_threads" 3. some threads will be migrated to the isolated cpu16~17. Fix it by checking the valid domain mask in select_idle_smt(). Fixes: 10e2f1ac ("sched/core: Rewrite and improve select_idle_siblings()) Reported-by:

The RT_RUNTIME_SHARE sched feature enables the sharing of rt_runtime between CPUs, allowing a CPU to run a real-time task up to 100% of the time while leaving more space for non-real-time tasks to run on the CPU that lend rt_runtime. The problem is that a CPU can easily borrow enough rt_runtime to allow a spinning rt-task to run forever, starving per-cpu tasks like kworkers, which are non-real-time by design. This patch disables RT_RUNTIME_SHARE by default, avoiding this problem. The feature will still be present for users that want to enable it, though. Signed-off-by:

When a boosted task gets throttled, what normally happens is that it's immediately enqueued again with ENQUEUE_REPLENISH, which replenishes the runtime and clears the dl_throttled flag. There is a special case however: if the throttling happened on sched-out and the task has been deboosted in the meantime, the replenish is skipped as the task will return to its normal scheduling class. This leaves the task with the dl_throttled flag set. Now if the task gets boosted up to the deadline scheduling class again while it is sleeping, it's still in the throttled state. The normal wakeup however will enqueue the task with ENQUEUE_REPLENISH not set, so we don't actually place it on the rq. Thus we end up with a task that is runnable, but not actually on the rq and neither a immediate replenishment happens, nor is the replenishment timer set up, so the task is stuck in forever-throttled limbo. Clear the dl_throttled flag before dropping back to the normal scheduling class to fix this issue. Signed-off-by:

The last sd_flag_debug shuffle inadvertently moved its definition within an #ifdef CONFIG_SYSCTL region. While CONFIG_SYSCTL is indeed required to produce the sched domain ctl interface (which uses sd_flag_debug to output flag names), it isn't required to run any assertion on the sched_domain hierarchy itself. Move the definition of sd_flag_debug to a CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG region of topology.c. Now at long last we have: - sd_flag_debug declared in include/linux/sched/topology.h iff CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG=y - sd_flag_debug defined in kernel/sched/topology.c, conditioned by: - CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG, with an explicit #ifdef block - CONFIG_SMP, as a requirement to compile topology.c With this change, all symbols pertaining to SD flag metadata (with the exception of __SD_FLAG_CNT) are now defined exclusively within topology.c Fixes: 8fca9494 ("sched/topology: Move sd_flag_debug out of linux/sched/topology.h") Reported-by:

sched_submit_work() is considered to be a hot path. The preempt_disable() instruction is a compiler barrier and forces the compiler to load task_struct::flags for the second comparison. By using a local variable, the compiler can load the value once and keep it in a register for the second comparison. Verified on x86-64 with gcc-10. Signed-off-by:

The bits PF_IO_WORKER and PF_WQ_WORKER are tested together in sched_submit_work() which is considered to be a hot path. If the two bits cross the 8 or 16 bit boundary then most architecture require multiple load instructions in order to create the constant value. Also, such a value can not be encoded within the compare opcode. By moving the bit definition within the same block, the compiler can create/use one immediate value. For some reason gcc-10 on ARM64 requires both bits to be next to each other in order to issue "tst reg, val; bne label". Otherwise the result is "mov reg1, val; tst reg, reg1; bne label". Move PF_VCPU out of the way so that PF_IO_WORKER can be next to PF_WQ_WORKER. Signed-off-by:

The code in reweight_entity() can be simplified. For a sched entity on the rq, the entity accounting can be replaced by cfs_rq instantaneous load updates currently called from within the entity accounting. Even though an entity on the rq can't represent a task in reweight_entity() (a task is always dequeued before calling this function) and so the numa task accounting and the rq->cfs_tasks list management of the entity accounting are never called, the redundant cfs_rq->nr_running decrement/increment will be avoided.

In find_energy_efficient_cpu() 'cpu_cap' could be less that 'util'. It might be because of RT, DL (so higher sched class than CFS), irq or thermal pressure signal, which reduce the capacity value. In such situation the result of 'cpu_cap - util' might be negative but stored in the unsigned long. Then it might be compared with other unsigned long when uclamp_rq_util_with() reduced the 'util' such that is passes the fits_capacity() check. Prevent this situation and make the arithmetic more safe. Fixes: 1d42509e ("sched/fair: Make EAS wakeup placement consider uclamp restrictions") Signed-off-by:

We currently set this flag *only* on domains whose topology level exactly match the level where we detect asymmetry (as returned by asym_cpu_capacity_level()). This is rather problematic. Say there are two clusters in the system, one with a lone big CPU and the other with a mix of big and LITTLE CPUs (as is allowed by DynamIQ): DIE [ ] MC [ ][ ] 0 1 2 3 4 L L B B B asym_cpu_capacity_level() will figure out that the MC level is the one where all CPUs can see a CPU of max capacity, and we will thus set SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY at MC level for all CPUs. That lone big CPU will degenerate its MC domain, since it would be alone in there, and will end up with just a DIE domain. Since the flag was only set at MC, this CPU ends up not seeing any SD with the flag set, which is broken. Rather than clearing dflags at every topology level, clear it before entering the topology level loop. This will properly propagate upwards flags that are set starting from a certain level.

If there is only a single NUMA node in the system, the only NUMA topology level that will be generated will be NODE (identity distance), which doesn't have SD_SERIALIZE. This means we don't need this special case in sd_parent_degenerate(), as having the NODE level "naturally" covers it. Thus, remove it. Suggested-by:

In preparation of cleaning up the sd_degenerate*() functions, mark flags used in sd_degenerate() with the new SDF_NEEDS_GROUPS flag. With this, build a compile-time mask of those SD flags. Note that sd_parent_degenerate() uses an extra flag in its mask, SD_PREFER_SIBLING, which remains singled out for now. Suggested-by:

Decoding the output of /proc/sys/kernel/sched_domain/cpu*/domain*/flags has always been somewhat annoying, as one needs to go fetch the bit -> name mapping from the source code itself. This encoding can be saved in a script somewhere, but that isn't safe from flags being added, removed or even shuffled around. What matters for debugging purposes is to get *which* flags are set in a given domain, their associated value is pretty much meaningless. Make the sd flags debug file output flag names.

Valentin Schneider authored
There are some expectations regarding how sched domain flags should be laid out, but none of them are checked or asserted in sched_domain_debug_one(). After staring at said flags for a while, I've come to realize there's two repeating patterns: - Shared with children: those flags are set from the base CPU domain upwards. Any domain that has it set will have it set in its children. It hints at "some property holds true / some behaviour is enabled until this level". - Shared with parents: those flags are set from the topmost domain downwards. Any domain that has it set will have it set in its parents. It hints at "some property isn't visible / some behaviour is disabled until this level". There are two outliers that (currently) do not map to either of these: o SD_PREFER_SIBLING, which is cleared below levels with SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY. The change was introduced by commit: 9c63e84d ("sched/core: Disable SD_PREFER_SIBLING on asymmetric CPU capacity domains") as it could break misfit migration on some systems. In light of this, we might want to change it back to make it fit one of the two categories and fix the issue another way. o SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY, which gets set on a single level and isn't propagated up nor down. From a topology description point of view, it really wants to be SDF_SHARED_PARENT; this will be rectified in a later patch. Tweak the sched_domain flag declaration to assign each flag an expected layout, and include the rationale for each flag "meta type" assignment as a comment. Consolidate the flag metadata into an array; the index of a flag's metadata can easily be found with log2(flag), IOW __ffs(flag). Signed-off-by: -

To associate the SD flags with some metadata, we need some more structure in the way they are declared. Rather than shove that in a free-standing macro list, move the declaration in a separate file that can be re-imported with different SD_FLAG definitions. This is inspired by what is done with the syscall table (see uapi/asm/unistd.h and sys_call_table). The value assigned to a given SD flag now depends on the order it appears in sd_flags.h. No change in functionality. Signed-off-by:

The ARM-specific GMC level is meant to be built using the thread sibling mask, but no devicetree in arch/arm/boot/dts uses the 'thread' cpu-map binding. With SD_SHARE_POWERDOMAIN gone, this topology level can be removed, at which point ARM no longer benefits from having a custom defined topology table. Delete the GMC topology level by making ARM use the default scheduler topology table. This essentially reverts commit: fb2aa855 ("sched, ARM: Create a dedicated scheduler topology table") No change in functionality is expected. Suggested-by:

This flag was introduced in 2014 by commit: d77b3ed5 ("sched: Add a new SD_SHARE_POWERDOMAIN for sched_domain") but AFAIA it was never leveraged by the scheduler. The closest thing I can think of is EAS caring about frequency domains, and it does that by leveraging performance domains. Remove the flag. No change in functionality is expected. Suggested-by:

Recently we found regression when running will_it_scale/page_fault3 test on ARM64. Over 70% down for the multi processes cases and over 20% down for the multi threads cases. It turns out the regression is caused by commit 89b15332 ("mm: drop mmap_sem before calling balance_dirty_pages() in write fault"). The test mmaps a memory size file then write to the mapping, this would make all memory dirty and trigger dirty pages throttle, that upstream commit would release mmap_sem then retry the page fault. The retried page fault would see correct PTEs installed then just fall through to spurious TLB flush. The regression is caused by the excessive spurious TLB flush. It is fine on x86 since x86's spurious TLB flush is no-op. We could just skip the spurious TLB flush to mitigate the regression. Suggested-by:
