We always use resched_task() with rq->curr argument. It's not possible to reschedule any task but rq's current. The patch introduces resched_curr(struct rq *) to replace all of the repeating patterns. The main aim is cleanup, but there is a little size profit too: (before) $ size kernel/sched/built-in.o text data bss dec hex filename 155274 16445 7042 178761 2ba49 kernel/sched/built-in.o $ size vmlinux text data bss dec hex filename 7411490 1178376 991232 9581098 92322a vmlinux (after) $ size kernel/sched/built-in.o text data bss dec hex filename 155130 16445 7042 178617 2b9b9 kernel/sched/built-in.o $ size vmlinux text data bss dec hex filename 7411362 1178376 991232 9580970 9231aa vmlinux I was choosing between resched_curr() and resched_rq(), and the first name looks better for me. A little lie in Documentation/trace/ftrace.txt. I have not actually collected the tracing again. With a hope the patch won't make execution times much worse :) Signed-off-by:

1) Iterate thru all of threads in the system. Check for all threads, not only for group leaders. 2) Check for p->on_rq instead of p->state and cputime. Preempted task in !TASK_RUNNING state OR just created task may be queued, that we want to be reported too. 3) Use read_lock() instead of write_lock(). This function does not change any structures, and read_lock() is enough. Signed-off-by:

We kill rq->rd on the CPU_DOWN_PREPARE stage: cpuset_cpu_inactive -> cpuset_update_active_cpus -> partition_sched_domains -> -> cpu_attach_domain -> rq_attach_root -> set_rq_offline This unthrottles all throttled cfs_rqs. But the cpu is still able to call schedule() till take_cpu_down->__cpu_disable() is called from stop_machine. This case the tasks from just unthrottled cfs_rqs are pickable in a standard scheduler way, and they are picked by dying cpu. The cfs_rqs becomes throttled again, and migrate_tasks() in migration_call skips their tasks (one more unthrottle in migrate_tasks()->CPU_DYING does not happen, because rq->rd is already NULL). Patch sets runtime_enabled to zero. This guarantees, the runtime is not accounted, and the cfs_rqs won't exceed given cfs_rq->runtime_remaining = 1, and tasks will be pickable in migrate_tasks(). runtime_enabled is recalculated again when rq becomes online again. Ben Segall also noticed, we always enable runtime in tg_set_cfs_bandwidth(). Actually, we should do that for online cpus only. To prevent races with unthrottle_offline_cfs_rqs() we take get_online_cpus() lock. Reviewed-by:

Reading through the scan period code and comment, it appears the intent was to slow down NUMA scanning when a majority of accesses are on the local node, specifically a local:remote ratio of 3:1. However, the code actually tests local / (local + remote), and the actual cut-off point was around 30% local accesses, well before a task has actually converged on a node. Changing the threshold to 7 means scanning slows down when a task has around 70% of its accesses local, which appears to match the intent of the code more closely. Signed-off-by:

Running "perf bench numa mem -0 -m -P 1000 -p 8 -t 20" on a 4 node system results in 160 runnable threads on a system with 80 CPU threads. Once a process has nearly converged, with 39 threads on one node and 1 thread on another node, the remaining thread will be unable to migrate to its preferred node through a task swap. However, a simple task move would make the workload converge, witout causing an imbalance. Test for this unlikely occurrence, and attempt a task move to the preferred nid when it happens. # Running main, "perf bench numa mem -p 8 -t 20 -0 -m -P 1000" ### # 160 tasks will execute (on 4 nodes, 80 CPUs): # -1x 0MB global shared mem operations # -1x 1000MB process shared mem operations # -1x 0MB thread local mem operations ### ### # # 0.0% [0.2 mins] 0/0 1/1 36/2 0/0 [36/3 ] l: 0-0 ( 0) {0-2} # 0.0% [0.3 mins] 43/3 37/2 39/2 41/3 [ 6/10] l: 0-1 ( 1) {1-2} # 0.0% [0.4 mins] 42/3 38/2 40/2 40/2 [ 4/9 ] l: 1-2 ( 1) [50.0%] {1-2} # 0.0% [0.6 mins] 41/3 39/2 40/2 40/2 [ 2/9 ] l: 2-4 ( 2) [50.0%] {1-2} # 0.0% [0.7 mins] 40/2 40/2 40/2 40/2 [ 0/8 ] l: 3-5 ( 2) [40.0%] ( 41.8s converged) Without this patch, this same perf bench numa mem run had to rely on the scheduler load balancer to first balance out the load (moving a random task), before a task swap could complete the NUMA convergence. The load balancer does not normally take action unless the load difference exceeds 25%. Convergence times of over half an hour have been observed without this patch. With this patch, the NUMA balancing code will simply migrate the task, if that does not cause an imbalance. Also skip examining a CPU in detail if the improvement on that CPU is no more than the best we already have. Signed-off-by: -

When a task is part of a numa_group, the comparison should always use the group weight, in order to make workloads converge. Signed-off-by:

Rik van Riel authored
When CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED is enabled, the load that a task places on a CPU is determined by the group the task is in. The active groups on the source and destination CPU can be different, resulting in a different load contribution by the same task at its source and at its destination. As a result, the load needs to be calculated separately for each CPU, instead of estimated once with task_h_load(). Getting this calculation right allows some workloads to converge, where previously the last thread could get stuck on another node, without being able to migrate to its final destination.

Currently the NUMA code scales the load on each node with the amount of CPU power available on that node, but it does not apply any adjustment to the load of the task that is being moved over. On systems with SMT/HT, this results in a task being weighed much more heavily than a CPU core, and a task move that would even out the load between nodes being disallowed. The correct thing is to apply the power correction to the numbers after we have first applied the move of the tasks' loads to them. This also allows us to do the power correction with a multiplication, rather than a division. Also drop two function arguments for load_too_unbalanced, since it takes various factors from env already. Signed-off-by:

From task_numa_placement, always try to consolidate the tasks in a group on the group's top nid. In case this task is part of a group that is interleaved over multiple nodes, task_numa_migrate will set the task's preferred nid to the best node it could find for the task, so this patch will cause at most one run through task_numa_migrate.

When a system is lightly loaded (i.e. no more than 1 job per cpu), attempt to pull job to a cpu before putting it to idle is unnecessary and can be skipped. This patch adds an indicator so the scheduler can know when there's no more than 1 active job is on any CPU in the system to skip needless job pulls. On a 4 socket machine with a request/response kind of workload from clients, we saw about 0.13 msec delay when we go through a full load balance to try pull job from all the other cpus. While 0.1 msec was spent on processing the request and generating a response, the 0.13 msec load balance overhead was actually more than the actual work being done. This overhead can be skipped much of the time for lightly loaded systems. With this patch, we tested with a netperf request/response workload that has the server busy with half the cpus in a 4 socket system. We found the patch eliminated 75% of the load balance attempts before idling a cpu. The overhead of setting/clearing the indicator is low as we already gather the necessary info while we call add_nr_running() and update_sd_lb_stats.() We switch to full load balance load immediately if any cpu got more than one job on its run queue in add_nr_running. We'll clear the indicator to avoid load balance when we detect no cpu's have more than one job when we scan the work queues in update_sg_lb_stats(). We are aggressive in turning on the load balance and opportunistic in skipping the load balance. Signed-off-by:

distribute_cfs_runtime() intentionally only hands out enough runtime to bring each cfs_rq to 1 ns of runtime, expecting the cfs_rqs to then take the runtime they need only once they actually get to run. However, if they get to run sufficiently quickly, the period timer is still in distribute_cfs_runtime() and no runtime is available, causing them to throttle. Then distribute has to handle them again, and this can go on until distribute has handed out all of the runtime 1ns at a time, which takes far too long. Instead allow access to the same runtime that distribute is handing out, accepting that corner cases with very low quota may be able to spend the entire cfs_b->runtime during distribute_cfs_runtime, meaning that the runtime directly handed out by distribute_cfs_runtime was over quota. In addition, if a cfs_rq does manage to throttle like this, make sure the existing distribute_cfs_runtime no longer loops over it again. Signed-off-by:

And since that already calls irq_work_run() from the hotplug path, remove our entire hotplug handling. Reported-by:

This debloats a bit the scheduler IPI from off-topic work that was abusing that scheduler fast path for its convenient asynchronous properties. Now the nohz kick uses irq-work for its own needs. Of course this implied quite some background infrastructure rework, including: * Clean up some irq-work internals * Implement remote irq-work * Implement nohz kick on top of remote irq-work * Move full dynticks timer enqueue notification to new kick * Move multi-task notification to new kick * Remove unecessary barriers on multi-task notification " Signed-off-by:

It is possible that at task_numa_placement() time, the task's numa_preferred_nid does not change, but the task is not actually running on the preferred node at the time. In that case, we still want to attempt migration to the preferred node. Signed-off-by:

The first thing task_numa_migrate() does is check to see if there is CPU capacity available on the preferred node, in order to move the task there. However, if the preferred node is all busy, we would skip considering that node for tasks swaps in the subsequent loop. This prevents NUMA convergence of tasks on busy systems. However, swapping locations with a task on our preferred nid, when the preferred nid is busy, is perfectly fine. The fix is to also look for a CPU on our preferred nid when it is totally busy. This changes "perf bench numa mem -p 4 -t 20 -m -0 -P 1000" from not converging in 15 minutes on my 4 node system, to converging in 10-20 seconds. Signed-off-by:

A full dynticks CPU is allowed to stop its tick when a single task runs. Meanwhile when a new task gets enqueued, the CPU must be notified so that it can restart its tick to maintain local fairness and other accounting details. This notification is performed by way of an IPI. Then when the target receives the IPI, we expect it to see the new value of rq->nr_running. Hence the following ordering scenario: CPU 0 CPU 1 write rq->running get IPI smp_wmb() smp_rmb() send IPI read rq->nr_running But Paul Mckenney says that nowadays IPIs imply a full barrier on all architectures. So we can safely remove this pair and rely on the implicit barriers that come along IPI send/receive. Lets just comment on this new assumption. Acked-by:

Now that we have a nohz full remote kick based on irq work, lets use it to notify a CPU that it's exiting single task mode. This unbloats a bit the scheduler IPI that the nohz code was abusing for its cool "callable anywhere/anytime" properties. Acked-by:

When a new timer is enqueued on a full dynticks target, that CPU must re-evaluate the next tick to handle the timer correctly. This is currently performed through the scheduler IPI. Meanwhile this happens at the cost of off-topic workarounds in that fast path to make it call irq_exit(). As we plan to remove this hack off the scheduler IPI, lets use the nohz full kick instead. Pretty much any IPI fits for that job as long at it calls irq_exit(). The nohz full kick just happens to be handy and readily available here. If it happens to be too much an overkill in the future, we can still turn that timer kick into an empty IPI. Acked-by:

Remotely kicking a full nohz CPU in order to make it re-evaluate its next tick is currently implemented using the scheduler IPI. However this bloats a scheduler fast path with an off-topic feature. The scheduler tick was abused here for its cool "callable anywhere/anytime" properties. But now that the irq work subsystem can queue remote callbacks, it's a perfect fit to safely queue IPIs when interrupts are disabled without worrying about concurrent callers. So lets implement remote kick on top of irq work. This is going to be used when a new event requires the next tick to be recalculated: more than 1 task competing on the CPU, timer armed, ...

irq work currently only supports local callbacks. However its code is mostly ready to run remote callbacks and we have some potential user. The full nohz subsystem currently open codes its own remote irq work on top of the scheduler ipi when it wants a CPU to reevaluate its next tick. However this ad hoc solution bloats the scheduler IPI. Lets just extend the irq work subsystem to support remote queuing on top of the generic SMP IPI to handle this kind of user. This shouldn't add noticeable overhead. Suggested-by:

Frederic Weisbecker authored
An irq work can be handled from two places: from the tick if the work carries the "lazy" flag and the tick is periodic, or from a self IPI. We merge all these works in a single list and we use some per cpu latch to avoid raising a self-IPI when one is already pending. Now we could do away with this ugly latch if only the list was only made of non-lazy works. Just enqueueing a work on the empty list would be enough to know if we need to raise an IPI or not. Also we are going to implement remote irq work queuing. Then the per CPU latch will need to become atomic in the global scope. That's too bad because, here as well, just enqueueing a work on an empty list of non-lazy works would be enough to know if we need to raise an IPI or not. So lets take a way out of this: split the works in two distinct lists, one for the works that can be handled by the next tick and another one for those handled by the IPI. Just checking if the latter is empty when we queue a new work is enough to know if we need to raise an IPI. Suggested-by:

Bad reviewing on my part, sorry. The right fix is to either make qemu change its endian when the guest changes endian (working on that) or to use the existing foreign endian support. Signed-off-by:

Commit 3fd091e7 ("[SCTP]: Remove multiple levels of msecs to jiffies conversions.") has silently changed permissions for rto_alpha and rto_beta knobs from 0644 to 0444. The purpose of this was to discourage users from tweaking rto_alpha and rto_beta knobs in production environments since they are key to correctly compute rtt/srtt. RFC4960 under section 6.3.1. RTO Calculation says regarding rto_alpha and rto_beta under rule C3 and C4: [...] C3) When a new RTT measurement R' is made, set RTTVAR <- (1 - RTO.Beta) * RTTVAR + RTO.Beta * |SRTT - R'| and SRTT <- (1 - RTO.Alpha) * SRTT + RTO.Alpha * R' Note: The value of SRTT used in the update to RTTVAR is its value before updating SRTT itself using the second assignment. After the computation, update RTO <- SRTT + 4 * RTTVAR. C4) When data is in flight and when allowed by rule C5 below, a new RTT measurement MUST be made each round trip. Furthermore, new RTT measurements SHOULD be made no more than once per round trip for a given destination transport address. There are two reasons for this recommendation: First, it appears that measuring more frequently often does not in practice yield any significant benefit [ALLMAN99]; second, if measurements are made more often, then the values of RTO.Alpha and RTO.Beta in rule C3 above should be adjusted so that SRTT and RTTVAR still adjust to changes at roughly the same rate (in terms of how many round trips it takes them to reflect new values) as they would if making only one measurement per round-trip and using RTO.Alpha and RTO.Beta as given in rule C3. However, the exact nature of these adjustments remains a research issue. [...] While it is discouraged to adjust rto_alpha and rto_beta and not further specified how to adjust them, the RFC also doesn't explicitly forbid it, but rather gives a RECOMMENDED default value (rto_alpha=3, rto_beta=2). We have a couple of users relying on the old permissions before they got changed. That said, if someone really has the urge to adjust them, we could allow it with a warning in the log.

Clears csum_valid by the same rationale. Signed-off-by:

In __udp_lib_checksum_complete check if checksum is being done over all the data (len is equal to skb->len) and if it is call __skb_checksum_complete instead of __skb_checksum_complete_head. This allows checksum to be saved in checksum complete. Signed-off-by:
