Unlocked access to dst_rq->curr in task_numa_compare() is racy.
If curr task is exiting this may be a reason of use-after-free:
task_numa_compare() do_exit()
... current->flags |= PF_EXITING;
... release_task()
... ~~delayed_put_task_struct()~~
... schedule()
rcu_read_lock() ...
cur = ACCESS_ONCE(dst_rq->curr) ...
... rq->curr = next;
... context_switch()
... finish_task_switch()
... put_task_struct()
... __put_task_struct()
... free_task_struct()
task_numa_assign() ...
get_task_struct() ...
As noted by Oleg:
<<The lockless get_task_struct(tsk) is only safe if tsk == current
and didn't pass exit_notify(), or if this tsk was found on a rcu
protected list (say, for_each_process() or find_task_by_vpid()).
IOW, it is only safe if release_task() was not called before we
take rcu_read_lock(), in this case we can rely on the fact that
delayed_put_pid() can not drop the (potentially) last reference
until rcu_read_unlock().
And as Kirill pointed out task_numa_compare()->task_numa_assign()
path does get_task_struct(dst_rq->curr) and this is not safe. The
task_struct itself can't go away, but rcu_read_lock() can't save
us from the final put_task_struct() in finish_task_switch(); this
reference goes away without rcu gp>>
The patch provides simple check of PF_EXITING flag. If it's not set,
this guarantees that call_rcu() of delayed_put_task_struct() callback
hasn't happened yet, so we can safely do get_task_struct() in
task_numa_assign().
Locked dst_rq->lock protects from concurrency with the last schedule().
Reusing or unmapping of cur's memory may happen without it.

Pull percpu consistent-ops changes from Tejun Heo:
"Way back, before the current percpu allocator was implemented, static
and dynamic percpu memory areas were allocated and handled separately
and had their own accessors. The distinction has been gone for many
years now; however, the now duplicate two sets of accessors remained
with the pointer based ones - this_cpu_*() - evolving various other
operations over time. During the process, we also accumulated other
inconsistent operations.
This pull request contains Christoph's patches to clean up the
duplicate accessor situation. __get_cpu_var() uses are replaced with
with this_cpu_ptr() and __this_cpu_ptr() with raw_cpu_ptr().
Unfortunately, the former sometimes is tricky thanks to C being a bit
messy with the distinction between lvalues and pointers, which led to
a rather ugly solution for cpumask_var_t involving the introduction of
this_cpu_cpumask_var_ptr().
This converts most of the uses but not all. Christoph will follow up
with the remaining conversions in this merge window and hopefully
remove the obsolete accessors"

Since commit caeb178c60 ("sched/fair: Make update_sd_pick_busiest() ...")
sd_pick_busiest returns a group that can be neither imbalanced nor overloaded
but is only more loaded than others. This change has been introduced to ensure
a better load balance in system that are not overloaded but as a side effect,
it can also generate useless active migration between groups.
Let take the example of 3 tasks on a quad cores system. We will always have an
idle core so the load balance will find a busiest group (core) whenever an ILB
is triggered and it will force an active migration (once above
nr_balance_failed threshold) so the idle core becomes busy but another core
will become idle. With the next ILB, the freshly idle core will try to pull the
task of a busy CPU.
The number of spurious active migration is not so huge in quad core system
because the ILB is not triggered so much. But it becomes significant as soon as
you have more than one sched_domain level like on a dual cluster of quad cores
where the ILB is triggered every tick when you have more than 1 busy_cpu
We need to ensure that the migration generate a real improveùent and will not
only move the avg_load imbalance on another CPU.
Before caeb178c60, the filtering of such use
case was ensured by the following test in f_b_g:
if ((local->idle_cpus < busiest->idle_cpus) &&
busiest->sum_nr_running <= busiest->group_weight)
This patch modified the condition to take into account situation where busiest
group is not overloaded: If the diff between the number of idle cpus in 2
groups is less than or equal to 1 and the busiest group is not overloaded,
moving a task will not improve the load balance but just move it.
A test with sysbench on a dual clusters of quad cores gives the following
results:
command: sysbench --test=cpu --num-threads=5 --max-time=5 run
The HZ is 200 which means that 1000 ticks has fired during the test.

The code in find_idlest_cpu() looks for the CPU with the smallest load.
However, if multiple CPUs are idle, the first idle CPU is selected
irrespective of the depth of its idle state.
Among the idle CPUs we should pick the one with with the shallowest idle
state, or the latest to have gone idle if all idle CPUs are in the same
state. The later applies even when cpuidle is configured out.
This patch doesn't cover the following issues:
- The idle exit latency of a CPU might be larger than the time needed
to migrate the waking task to an already running CPU with sufficient
capacity, and therefore performance would benefit from task packing
in such case (in most cases task packing is about power saving).
- Some idle states have a non negligible and non abortable entry latency
which needs to run to completion before the exit latency can start.
A concurrent patch series is making this info available to the cpuidle
core. Once available, the entry latency with the idle timestamp could
determine when the exit latency may be effective.
Those issues will be handled in due course. In the mean time, what
is implemented here should improve things already compared to the current
state of affairs.

'capacity_orig' is only changed for systems with an SMT sched_domain level in order
to reflect the lower capacity of CPUs. Heterogenous systems also have to reflect an
original capacity that is different from the default value.
Create a more generic function arch_scale_cpu_capacity that can be also used by
non SMT platforms to set capacity_orig.
The __weak implementation of arch_scale_cpu_capacity() is the previous SMT variant,
in order to keep backward compatibility with the use of capacity_orig.
arch_scale_smt_capacity() and default_scale_smt_capacity() have been removed as
they were not used elsewhere than in arch_scale_cpu_capacity().

In wake_affine() I have tried to understand the meaning of the condition:
(this_load <= load &&
this_load + target_load(prev_cpu, idx) <= tl_per_task)
but I failed to find a use case that can take advantage of it and I haven't
found clear description in the previous commit's log.
Futhermore, the comment of the condition refers to the task_hot function that
was used before being replaced by the current condition:
/*
* This domain has SD_WAKE_AFFINE and
* p is cache cold in this domain, and
* there is no bad imbalance.
*/
If we look more deeply the below condition:
this_load + target_load(prev_cpu, idx) <= tl_per_task
When sync is clear, we have:
tl_per_task = runnable_load_avg / nr_running
this_load = max(runnable_load_avg, cpuload[idx])
target_load = max(runnable_load_avg', cpuload'[idx])
It implies that runnable_load_avg == 0 and nr_running <= 1 in order to match the
condition. This implies that runnable_load_avg == 0 too because of the
condition: this_load <= load.
but if this _load is null, 'balanced' is already set and the test is redundant.
If sync is set, it's not as straight forward as above (especially if cgroup
are involved) but the policy should be similar as we have removed a task that's
going to sleep in order to get a more accurate load and this_load values.
The current conclusion is that these additional condition don't give any benefit
so we can remove them.

The imbalance flag can stay set whereas there is no imbalance.
Let assume that we have 3 tasks that run on a dual cores /dual cluster system.
We will have some idle load balance which are triggered during tick.
Unfortunately, the tick is also used to queue background work so we can reach
the situation where short work has been queued on a CPU which already runs a
task. The load balance will detect this imbalance (2 tasks on 1 CPU and an idle
CPU) and will try to pull the waiting task on the idle CPU. The waiting task is
a worker thread that is pinned on a CPU so an imbalance due to pinned task is
detected and the imbalance flag is set.
Then, we will not be able to clear the flag because we have at most 1 task on
each CPU but the imbalance flag will trig to useless active load balance
between the idle CPU and the busy CPU.
We need to reset of the imbalance flag as soon as we have reached a balanced
state. If all tasks are pinned, we don't consider that as a balanced state and
let the imbalance flag set.

The code in task_numa_compare() will only examine at most one idle CPU per node,
because they all have the same score. However, some idle CPUs are better
candidates than others, due to busy or idle SMT siblings, etc...
The scheduler has logic to find the best CPU within an LLC to place a
task. The NUMA code should probably use it.
This seems to reduce the standard deviation for single instance SPECjbb2005

When running workloads on 2+ socket systems, based on perf profiles, the
update_cfs_rq_blocked_load() function often shows up as taking up a
noticeable % of run time.
Much of the contention is in __update_cfs_rq_tg_load_contrib() when we
update the tg load contribution stats. However, it turns out that in many
cases, they don't need to be updated and "tg_contrib" is 0.
This patch adds a check in __update_cfs_rq_tg_load_contrib() to skip updating
tg load contribution stats when nothing needs to be updated. This reduces the
cacheline contention that would be unnecessary.

An overrun could happen in function start_hrtick_dl()
when a task with SCHED_DEADLINE runs in the microseconds
range.
For example, if a task with SCHED_DEADLINE has the following parameters:
Task runtime deadline period
P1 200us 500us 500us
The deadline and period from task P1 are less than 1ms.
In order to achieve microsecond precision, we need to enable HRTICK feature
by the next command:
PC#echo "HRTICK" > /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features
PC#trace-cmd record -e sched_switch &
PC#./schedtool -E -t 200000:500000:500000 -e ./test
The binary test is in an endless while(1) loop here.
Some pieces of trace.dat are as follows:
<idle>-0 157.603157: sched_switch: :R ==> 2481:4294967295: test
test-2481 157.603203: sched_switch: 2481:R ==> 0:120: swapper/2
<idle>-0 157.605657: sched_switch: :R ==> 2481:4294967295: test
test-2481 157.608183: sched_switch: 2481:R ==> 2483:120: trace-cmd
trace-cmd-2483 157.609656: sched_switch:2483:R==>2481:4294967295: test
We can get the runtime of P1 from the information above:
runtime = 157.608183 - 157.605657
runtime = 0.002526(2.526ms)
The correct runtime should be less than or equal to 200us at some point.
The problem is caused by a conditional judgment "delta > 10000"
in function start_hrtick_dl().
Because no hrtimer start up to control the rest of runtime
when the reset of runtime is less than 10us.
So the process will continue to run until tick-period is coming.
Move the code with the limit of the least time slice
from hrtick_start_fair() to hrtick_start() because the
EDF schedule class also needs this function in start_hrtick_dl().
To fix this problem, we call hrtimer_start() unconditionally in
start_hrtick_dl(), and make sure the scheduling slice won't be smaller
than 10us in hrtimer_start().

__get_cpu_var can paper over differences in the definitions of
cpumask_var_t and either use the address of the cpumask variable
directly or perform a fetch of the address of the struct cpumask
allocated elsewhere. This is important particularly when using per cpu
cpumask_var_t declarations because in one case we have an offset into
a per cpu area to handle and in the other case we need to fetch a
pointer from the offset.
This patch introduces a new macro
this_cpu_cpumask_var_ptr()
that is defined where cpumask_var_t is defined and performs the proper
actions. All use cases where __get_cpu_var is used with cpumask_var_t
are converted to the use of this_cpu_cpumask_var_ptr().

Avoid double_rq_lock() and use TASK_ON_RQ_MIGRATING for
load_balance(). The advantage is (obviously) not holding two
rq->lock's at the same time and thereby increasing parallelism.
Further note that if there was no task to migrate we will not
have acquired the second rq->lock at all.
The important point to note is that because we acquire dst->lock
immediately after releasing src->lock the potential wait time of

Avoid double_rq_lock() and use the TASK_ON_RQ_MIGRATING state for
active_load_balance_cpu_stop(). The advantage is (obviously) not
holding two 'rq->lock's at the same time and thereby increasing
parallelism.
Further note that if there was no task to migrate we will not
have acquired the second rq->lock at all.
The important point to note is that because we acquire dst->lock
immediately after releasing src->lock the potential wait time of
task_rq_lock() callers on TASK_ON_RQ_MIGRATING is not longer
than it would have been in the double rq lock scenario.

Implement task_on_rq_queued() and use it everywhere instead of
on_rq check. No functional changes.
The only exception is we do not use the wrapper in
check_for_tasks(), because it requires to export
task_on_rq_queued() in global header files. Next patch in series
would return it back, so we do not twist it from here to there.

Commit a43455a1d5 ensures that
task_numa_migrate will call task_numa_compare on the preferred
node all the time, even when the preferred node has no free capacity.
This could lead to a performance regression if nr_running == capacity
on both the source and the destination node. This can be avoided by
also checking for nr_running == capacity on the source node, which is
one stricter than checking .has_free_capacity.

Currently update_sd_pick_busiest only identifies the busiest sd
that is either overloaded, or has a group imbalance. When no
sd is imbalanced or overloaded, the load balancer fails to find
the busiest domain.
This breaks load balancing between domains that are not overloaded,
in the !SD_ASYM_PACKING case. This patch makes update_sd_pick_busiest
return true when the busiest sd yet is encountered.
Groups are ranked in the order overloaded > imbalanced > other,
with higher ranked groups getting priority even when their load
is lower. This is necessary due to the possibility of unequal
capacities and cpumasks between domains within a sched group.
Behaviour for SD_ASYM_PACKING does not seem to match the comment,
but I have no hardware to test that so I have left the behaviour
of that code unchanged.

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

155274 16445 7042 178761 2ba49 kernel/sched/built-in.o

$ size vmlinux

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 :)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

sched/balancing: Reduce the rate of needless idle load balancing
sched/fair: Fix unlocked reads of some cfs_b->quota/period
This function is supposed to return true if the new load imbalance is
worse than the old one. It didn't. I can only hope brown paper bags
are in style.
Now things converge much better on both the 4 node and 8 node systems.
I am not sure why this did not seem to impact specjbb performance on the
4 node system, which is the system I have full-time access to.
This bug was introduced recently, with commit e63da03639 ("sched/numa:
Allow task switch if load imbalance improves")

Now that 3.15 is released, this merges the 'next' branch into 'master',
bringing us to the normal situation where my 'master' branch is the
merge window.

It is better not to think about compute capacity as being equivalent
to "CPU power". The upcoming "power aware" scheduler work may create
confusion with the notion of energy consumption if "power" is used too
liberally.
Let's rename the following feature flags since they do relate to capacity:
SD_SHARE_CPUPOWER -> SD_SHARE_CPUCAPACITY
ARCH_POWER -> ARCH_CAPACITY
NONTASK_POWER -> NONTASK_CAPACITY
