The estimated utilization of a task is currently updated every time the task is dequeued. However, to keep overheads under control, PELT signals are effectively updated at maximum once every 1ms. Thus, for really short running tasks, it can happen that their util_avg value has not been updates since their last enqueue. If such tasks are also frequently running tasks (e.g. the kind of workload generated by hackbench) it can also happen that their util_avg is updated only every few activations. This means that updating util_est at every dequeue potentially introduces not necessary overheads and it's also conceptually wrong if the util_avg signal has never been updated during a task activation. Let's introduce a throttling mechanism on task's util_est updates to sync them with util_avg updates. To make the solution memory efficient, both in terms of space and load/store operations, we encode a synchronization flag into the LSB of util_est.enqueued. This makes util_est an even values only metric, which is still considered good enough for its purpose. The synchronization bit is (re)set by __update_load_avg_se() once the PELT signal of a task has been updated during its last activation. Such a throttling mechanism allows to keep under control util_est overheads in the wakeup hot path, thus making it a suitable mechanism which can be enabled also on high-intensity workload systems. Thus, this now switches on by default the estimation utilization scheduler feature.

When schedutil looks at the CPU utilization, the current PELT value for that CPU is returned straight away. In certain scenarios this can have undesired side effects and delays on frequency selection. For example, since the task utilization is decayed at wakeup time, a long sleeping big task newly enqueued does not add immediately a significant contribution to the target CPU. This introduces some latency before schedutil will be able to detect the best frequency required by that task. Moreover, the PELT signal build-up time is a function of the current frequency, because of the scale invariant load tracking support. Thus, starting from a lower frequency, the utilization build-up time will increase even more and further delays the selection of the actual frequency which better serves the task requirements. In order to reduce these kind of latencies, we integrate the usage of the CPU's estimated utilization in the sugov_get_util function. This allows to properly consider the expected utilization of a CPU which, for example, has just got a big task running after a long sleep period. Ultimately this allows to select the best frequency to run a task right after its wake-up.

When the scheduler looks at the CPU utilization, the current PELT value for a CPU is returned straight away. In certain scenarios this can have undesired side effects on task placement. For example, since the task utilization is decayed at wakeup time, when a long sleeping big task is enqueued it does not add immediately a significant contribution to the target CPU. As a result we generate a race condition where other tasks can be placed on the same CPU while it is still considered relatively empty. In order to reduce this kind of race conditions, this patch introduces the required support to integrate the usage of the CPU's estimated utilization in the wakeup path, via cpu_util_wake(), as well as in the load-balance path, via cpu_util() which is used by update_sg_lb_stats(). The estimated utilization of a CPU is defined to be the maximum between its PELT's utilization and the sum of the estimated utilization (at previous dequeue time) of all the tasks currently RUNNABLE on that CPU. This allows to properly represent the spare capacity of a CPU which, for example, has just got a big task running since a long sleep period.

The util_avg signal computed by PELT is too variable for some use-cases. For example, a big task waking up after a long sleep period will have its utilization almost completely decayed. This introduces some latency before schedutil will be able to pick the best frequency to run a task. The same issue can affect task placement. Indeed, since the task utilization is already decayed at wakeup, when the task is enqueued in a CPU, this can result in a CPU running a big task as being temporarily represented as being almost empty. This leads to a race condition where other tasks can be potentially allocated on a CPU which just started to run a big task which slept for a relatively long period. Moreover, the PELT utilization of a task can be updated every [ms], thus making it a continuously changing value for certain longer running tasks. This means that the instantaneous PELT utilization of a RUNNING task is not really meaningful to properly support scheduler decisions. For all these reasons, a more stable signal can do a better job of representing the expected/estimated utilization of a task/cfs_rq. Such a signal can be easily created on top of PELT by still using it as an estimator which produces values to be aggregated on meaningful events. This patch adds a simple implementation of util_est, a new signal built on top of PELT's util_avg where: util_est(task) = max(task::util_avg, f(task::util_avg@dequeue)) This allows to remember how big a task has been reported by PELT in its previous activations via f(task::util_avg@dequeue), which is the new _task_util_est(struct task_struct*) function added by this patch. If a task should change its behavior and it runs longer in a new activation, after a certain time its util_est will just track the original PELT signal (i.e. task::util_avg). The estimated utilization of cfs_rq is defined only for root ones. That's because the only sensible consumer of this signal are the scheduler and schedutil when looking for the overall CPU utilization due to FAIR tasks. For this reason, the estimated utilization of a root cfs_rq is simply defined as: util_est(cfs_rq) = max(cfs_rq::util_avg, cfs_rq::util_est::enqueued) where: cfs_rq::util_est::enqueued = sum(_task_util_est(task)) for each RUNNABLE task on that root cfs_rq It's worth noting that the estimated utilization is tracked only for objects of interests, specifically: - Tasks: to better support tasks placement decisions - root cfs_rqs: to better support both tasks placement decisions as well as frequencies selection Signed-off-by: Patrick Bellasi <patrick.bellasi@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Reviewed-by: Dietmar Eggemann <dietmar.eggemann@arm.com> Cc: Joel Fernandes <joelaf@google.com> Cc: Juri Lelli <juri.lelli@redhat.com> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Morten Rasmussen <morten.rasmussen@arm.com> Cc: Paul Turner <pjt@google.com> Cc: Rafael J .

percpu_ref internally uses sched-RCU to implement the percpu -> atomic mode switching and the documentation suggested that this could be depended upon. This doesn't seem like a good idea. * percpu_ref uses sched-RCU which has different grace periods regular RCU. Users may combine percpu_ref with regular RCU usage and incorrectly believe that regular RCU grace periods are performed by percpu_ref. This can lead to, for example, use-after-free due to premature freeing. * percpu_ref has a grace period when switching from percpu to atomic mode. It doesn't have one between the last put and release. This distinction is subtle and can lead to surprising bugs. * percpu_ref allows starting in and switching to atomic mode manually for debugging and other purposes. This means that there may not be any grace periods from kill to release. This patch makes it clear that the grace periods are percpu_ref's internal implementation detail and can't be depended upon by the users.

In case of memory deficit and low percpu memory pages, pcpu_balance_workfn() takes pcpu_alloc_mutex for a long time (as it makes memory allocations itself and waits for memory reclaim). If tasks doing pcpu_alloc() are choosen by OOM killer, they can't exit, because they are waiting for the mutex. The patch makes pcpu_alloc() to care about killing signal and use mutex_lock_killable(), when it's allowed by GFP flags. This guarantees, a task does not miss SIGKILL from OOM killer.

When commit 9c7be59f ("libata: Apply NOLPM quirk to Crucial MX100 512GB SSDs") was added it inherited the ATA_HORKAGE_NO_NCQ_TRIM quirk from the existing "Crucial_CT*MX100*" entry, but that entry sets model_rev to "MU01", where as the entry adding the NOLPM quirk sets it to NULL. This means that after this commit we no apply the NO_NCQ_TRIM quirk to all "Crucial_CT512MX100*" SSDs even if they have the fixed "MU02" firmware. This commit splits the "Crucial_CT512MX100*" quirk into 2 quirks, one for the "MU01" firmware and one for all other firmware versions, so that we once again only apply the NO_NCQ_TRIM quirk to the "MU01" firmware version.

There have been reports of the Crucial M500 480GB model not working with LPM set to min_power / med_power_with_dipm level. It has not been tested with medium_power, but that typically has no measurable power-savings. Note the reporters Crucial_CT480M500SSD3 has a firmware version of MU03 and there is a MU05 update available, but that update does not mention any LPM fixes in its changelog, so the quirk matches all firmware versions. In my experience the LPM problems with (older) Crucial SSDs seem to be limited to higher capacity versions of the SSDs (different firmware?), so this commit adds a NOLPM quirk for the 480 and 960GB versions of the M500, to avoid LPM causing issues with these SSDs.

In thinking about this, I realized that we don't need to flush the TLB when there is no context. So, I added context checks to the large flush cases in flush_cache_mm() and flush_cache_range(). The large flush case occurs frequently in flush_cache_mm() and the change should improve fork performance. The v2 version of this change removes the BUG_ON from flush_cache_page() by skipping the TLB flush when there is no context. I also added code to flush the TLB in flush_cache_mm() and flush_cache_range() when we have a context that's not current. Now all three routines handle TLB flushes in a similar manner.

Emanuel reported an issue with a hang during microcode update because my dumb idea to use one atomic synchronization variable for both rendezvous - before and after update - was simply bollocks: microcode: microcode_reload_late: late_cpus: 4 microcode: __reload_late: cpu 2 entered microcode: __reload_late: cpu 1 entered microcode: __reload_late: cpu 3 entered microcode: __reload_late: cpu 0 entered microcode: __reload_late: cpu 1 left microcode: Timeout while waiting for CPUs rendezvous, remaining: 1 CPU1 above would finish, leave and the others will still spin waiting for it to join. So do two synchronization atomics instead, which makes the code a lot more straightforward. Also, since the update is serialized and it also takes quite some time per microcode engine, increase the exit timeout by the number of CPUs on the system. That's ok because the moment all CPUs are done, that timeout will be cut short.

This reverts commit 3c181c12. The offending patch was merged in 4.16-rc4 and was promptly applied to stable kernels 4.14.25 and 4.15.8. The patch causes a corruption in several superblock items on big-endian machines because of messed up endianity conversions. The damage is manually repairable. A filesystem cannot be mounted again after it has been unmounted once. We do a full revert and not a fixup so stable can pick that patch ASAP.

On nfsv2 and nfsv3 the nfs server can export subsets of the same filesystem and report the same filesystem identifier, so that the nfs client can know they are the same filesystem. The subsets can be from disjoint directory trees. The nfsv2 and nfsv3 filesystems provides no way to find the common root of all directory trees exported form the server with the same filesystem identifier. The practical result is that in struct super s_root for nfs s_root is not necessarily the root of the filesystem. The nfs mount code sets s_root to the root of the first subset of the nfs filesystem that the kernel mounts. This effects the dcache invalidation code in generic_shutdown_super currently called shrunk_dcache_for_umount and that code for years has gone through an additional list of dentries that might be dentry trees that need to be freed to accomodate nfs. When I wrote path_connected I did not realize nfs was so special, and it's hueristic for avoiding calling is_subdir can fail. The practical case where this fails is when there is a move of a directory from the subtree exposed by one nfs mount to the subtree exposed by another nfs mount. This move can happen either locally or remotely. With the remote case requiring that the move directory be cached before the move and that after the move someone walks the path to where the move directory now exists and in so doing causes the already cached directory to be moved in the dcache through the magic of d_splice_alias. If someone whose working directory is in the move directory or a subdirectory and now starts calling .. from the initial mount of nfs (where s_root == mnt_root), then path_connected as a heuristic will not bother with the is_subdir check. As s_root really is not the root of the nfs filesystem this heuristic is wrong, and the path may actually not be connected and path_connected can fail. The is_subdir function might be cheap enough that we can call it unconditionally. Verifying that will take some benchmarking and the result may not be the same on all kernels this fix needs to be backported to. So I am avoiding that for now. Filesystems with snapshots such as nilfs and btrfs do something similar. But as the directory tree of the snapshots are disjoint from one another and from the main directory tree rename won't move things between them and this problem will not occur.
