The callers of steal_account_process_tick() expect it to return whether a jiffy should be considered stolen or not. Currently the return value of steal_account_process_tick() is in units of cputime, which vary between either jiffies or nsecs depending on CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN. If cputime has nsecs granularity and there is a tiny amount of stolen time (a few nsecs, say) then we will consider the entire tick stolen and will not account the tick on user/system/idle, causing /proc/stats to show invalid data. The fix is to change steal_account_process_tick() to accumulate the stolen time and only account it once it's worth a jiffy. (Thanks to Frederic Weisbecker for suggestions to fix a bug in my first version of the patch.) Signed-off-by:

The dl_new field of struct sched_dl_entity is currently used to identify new deadline tasks, so that their deadline and runtime can be properly initialised. However, these tasks can be easily identified by checking if their deadline is smaller than the current time when they switch to SCHED_DEADLINE. So, dl_new can be removed by introducing this check in switched_to_dl(); this allows to simplify the SCHED_DEADLINE code. Signed-off-by:

This reverts commit ef50c046. So adding -Werror=incompatible-pointer-types wasn't a bad idea, but it should really not be done in the scheduler tree: it exposes us to a number of pre-existing warnings (most of them harmless), now upgraded to build failures... This should be done via the kbuild tree.

The preempt_disable() invokes preempt_count_add() which saves the caller in ->preempt_disable_ip. It uses CALLER_ADDR1 which does not look for its caller but for the parent of the caller. Which means we get the correct caller for something like spin_lock() unless the architectures inlines those invocations. It is always wrong for preempt_disable() or local_bh_disable(). This patch makes the function get_lock_parent_ip() which tries CALLER_ADDR0,1,2 if the former is a locking function. This seems to record the preempt_disable() caller properly for preempt_disable() itself as well as for get_cpu_var() or local_bh_disable(). Steven asked for the get_parent_ip() -> get_lock_parent_ip() rename. Signed-off-by:

When profiling syscall overhead on nohz-full kernels, after removing __acct_update_integrals() from the profile, native_sched_clock() remains as the top CPU user. This can be reduced by moving VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN to jiffy granularity. This will reduce timing accuracy on nohz_full CPUs to jiffy based sampling, just like on normal CPUs. It results in totally removing native_sched_clock from the profile, and significantly speeding up the syscall entry and exit path, as well as irq entry and exit, and KVM guest entry & exit. Additionally, only call the more expensive functions (and advance the seqlock) when jiffies actually changed. This code relies on another CPU advancing jiffies when the system is busy. On a nohz_full system, this is done by a housekeeping CPU. A microbenchmark calling an invalid syscall number 10 million times in a row speeds up an additional 30% over the numbers with just the previous patches, for a total speedup of about 40% over 4.4 and 4.5-rc1. Run times for the microbenchmark: 4.4 3.8 seconds 4.5-rc1 3.7 seconds 4.5-rc1 + first patch 3.3 seconds 4.5-rc1 + first 3 patches 3.1 seconds 4.5-rc1 + all patches 2.3 seconds A non-NOHZ_FULL cpu (not the housekeeping CPU): all kernels 1.86 seconds Signed-off-by:

It looks like all the call paths that lead to __acct_update_integrals() already have irqs disabled, and __acct_update_integrals() does not need to disable irqs itself. This is very convenient since about half the CPU time left in this function was spent in local_irq_save alone. Performance of a microbenchmark that calls an invalid syscall ten million times in a row on a nohz_full CPU improves 21% vs. 4.5-rc1 with both the removal of divisions from __acct_update_integrals() and this patch, with runtime dropping from 3.7 to 2.9 seconds. With these patches applied, the highest remaining cpu user in the trace is native_sched_clock, which is addressed in the next patch. For testing purposes I stuck a WARN_ON(!irqs_disabled()) test in __acct_update_integrals(). It did not trigger. Suggested-by:

When running a microbenchmark calling an invalid syscall number in a loop, on a nohz_full CPU, we spend a full 9% of our CPU time in __acct_update_integrals(). This function converts cputime_t to jiffies, to a timeval, only to convert the timeval back to microseconds before discarding it. This patch leaves __acct_update_integrals() functionally equivalent, but speeds things up by about 12%, with 10 million calls to an invalid syscall number dropping from 3.7 to 3.25 seconds.

I've been debugging why deadline tasks can cause the RT scheduler to throttle, even when the deadline tasks are only taking up 50% of the CPU and RT tasks are not even using 1% of the CPU. Here's what I found. In order to keep a CPU from being hogged by RT tasks, the deadline scheduler adds its run time (delta_exec) to the rt_time of the RT bandwidth. That way, if the two use more than 95% of the CPU within one second (default settings), the RT tasks are throttled to allow non RT tasks to run. Although the deadline tasks add their run time to the RT bandwidth, it lets the RT tasks do the accounting. This is where the problem lies. If a deadline task runs for a bit, and no RT tasks are running, then it will continually add to the RT rt_time that is used to calculate how much CPU the RT tasks use. But no RT period is in play, and this accumulation of the runtime never gets reset. When an RT task finally gets to run, and the watchdog goes off, it can see that the RT task has used more than it should of, because the deadline task added all this runtime to its rt_time. Then the RT task that just woke up gets throttled for no good reason. I also noticed that when an RT task is queued, it starts the timer to account for overload and such. But that timer goes off one period later, which may be too late and the extra rt_time will trigger a throttle. This is a quick work around to the problem. When a new RT task is queued, the bandwidth timer is set to go off immediately. Then the timer can clear out the extra time added to the rt_time while there was no RT task running. This stops my tests from triggering the throttle, and it will still throttle if an RT task runs too much, even while a deadline task is running. A better solution may be to subtract the bandwidth that the deadline task uses from the rt_runtime, and add it back when its finished. Then there wont be a need for runtime tracking of the time used by deadline tasks. I may play with that solution tomorrow. Signed-off-by:

Playing with SCHED_DEADLINE and cpusets, I found that I was unable to create new SCHED_DEADLINE tasks, with the error of EBUSY as if the bandwidth was already used up. I then realized there wa no way to see what bandwidth is used by the runqueues to debug the issue. By adding the dl_bw->bw and dl_bw->total_bw to the output of the deadline info in /proc/sched_debug, this allows us to see what bandwidth has been reserved and where a problem may exist. For example, before the issue we see the ratio of the bandwidth: # cat /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rt_runtime_us 950000 # cat /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rt_period_us 1000000 # grep dl /proc/sched_debug dl_rq[0]: .dl_nr_running : 0 .dl_bw->bw : 996147 .dl_bw->total_bw : 0 dl_rq[1]: .dl_nr_running : 0 .dl_bw->bw : 996147 .dl_bw->total_bw : 0 dl_rq[2]: .dl_nr_running : 0 .dl_bw->bw : 996147 .dl_bw->total_bw : 0 dl_rq[3]: .dl_nr_running : 0 .dl_bw->bw : 996147 .dl_bw->total_bw : 0 dl_rq[4]: .dl_nr_running : 0 .dl_bw->bw : 996147 .dl_bw->total_bw : 0 dl_rq[5]: .dl_nr_running : 0 .dl_bw->bw : 996147 .dl_bw->total_bw : 0 dl_rq[6]: .dl_nr_running : 0 .dl_bw->bw : 996147 .dl_bw->total_bw : 0 dl_rq[7]: .dl_nr_running : 0 .dl_bw->bw : 996147 .dl_bw->total_bw : 0 Note: (950000 / 1000000) << 20 == 996147 After I played with cpusets and hit the issue, the result is now: # grep dl /proc/sched_debug dl_rq[0]: .dl_nr_running : 0 .dl_bw->bw : 996147 .dl_bw->total_bw : -104857 dl_rq[1]: .dl_nr_running : 0 .dl_bw->bw : 996147 .dl_bw->total_bw : 104857 dl_rq[2]: .dl_nr_running : 0 .dl_bw->bw : 996147 .dl_bw->total_bw : 104857 dl_rq[3]: .dl_nr_running : 0 .dl_bw->bw : 996147 .dl_bw->total_bw : 104857 dl_rq[4]: .dl_nr_running : 0 .dl_bw->bw : 996147 .dl_bw->total_bw : -104857 dl_rq[5]: .dl_nr_running : 0 .dl_bw->bw : 996147 .dl_bw->total_bw : -104857 dl_rq[6]: .dl_nr_running : 0 .dl_bw->bw : 996147 .dl_bw->total_bw : -104857 dl_rq[7]: .dl_nr_running : 0 .dl_bw->bw : 996147 .dl_bw->total_bw : -104857 This shows that there is definitely a problem as we should never have a negative total bandwidth.

So normally we dequeue/enqueue tasks in sched_setscheduler(), which would ensure the accounting stays correct. However in the early PI path we fail to do so. So this was introduced at around v3.14, by: c365c292 ("sched: Consider pi boosting in setscheduler()") which fixed another problem exactly because that dequeue/enqueue, joy. Fix this by teaching rt about DEQUEUE_SAVE/ENQUEUE_RESTORE and have it preserve runqueue location with that option. This requires decoupling the on_rt_rq() state from being on the list. In order to allow for explicit movement during the SAVE/RESTORE, introduce {DE,EN}QUEUE_MOVE. We still must use SAVE/RESTORE in these cases to preserve other invariants. Respecting the SAVE/RESTORE flags also has the (nice) side-effect that things like sys_nice()/sys_sched_setaffinity() also do not reorder FIFO tasks (whereas they used to before this patch).

Steven noticed that occasionally a sched_yield() call would not result in a wait for the next period edge as expected. It turns out that when we call update_curr_dl() and end up with delta_exec <= 0, we will bail early and fail to throttle. Further inspection of the yield code revealed that yield_task_dl() clearing dl.runtime is wrong too, it will not account the last bit of runtime which could result in dl.runtime < 0, which in turn means that replenish would gift us with too much runtime. Fix both issues by not relying on the dl.runtime value for yield. Reported-by:

When a cgroup's CPU runqueue is destroyed, it should remove its remaining load accounting from its parent cgroup. The current site for doing so it unsuited because its far too late and unordered against other cgroup removal (->css_free() will be, but we're also in an RCU callback). Put it in the ->css_offline() callback, which is the start of cgroup destruction, right after the group has been made unavailable to userspace. The ->css_offline() callbacks are called in hierarchical order after the following v4.4 commit: aa226ff4 ("cgroup: make sure a parent css isn't offlined before its children") Signed-off-by:

The delete opration can allocate additional space on the HPFS filesystem due to btree split. The HPFS driver checks in advance if there is available space, so that it won't corrupt the btree if we run out of space during splitting. If there is not enough available space, the HPFS driver attempted to truncate the file, but this results in a deadlock since the commit 7dd29d8d ("HPFS: Introduce a global mutex and lock it on every callback from VFS"). This patch removes the code that tries to truncate the file and -ENOSPC is returned instead. If the user hits -ENOSPC on delete, he should try to delete other files (that are stored in a leaf btree node), so that the delete operation will make some space for deleting the file stored in non-leaf btree node.

As it is currently written ext4_dax_mkwrite() assumes that the call into __dax_mkwrite() will not have to do a block allocation so it doesn't create a journal entry. For a read that creates a zero page to cover a hole followed by a write that actually allocates storage this is incorrect. The ext4_dax_mkwrite() -> __dax_mkwrite() -> __dax_fault() path calls get_blocks() to allocate storage. Fix this by having the ->page_mkwrite fault handler call ext4_dax_fault() as this function already has all the logic needed to allocate a journal entry and call __dax_fault(). Also update the ext2 fault handlers in this same way to remove duplicate code and keep the logic between ext2 and ext4 the same. Reviewed-by:
