* sched: Try not to migrate higher priority RT tasksSteven Rostedt2010-09-211-10/+12

Instead we take a more proactive stance and push or pull RT tasks from one CPU to another on wakeup or scheduling. When an RT task wakes up on a CPU that is running another RT task, instead of preempting it and killing the cache of the running RT task, we look to see if we can migrate the RT task that is waking up, even if the RT task waking up is of higher priority. This may sound a bit odd, but RT tasks should be limited in migration by the user anyway. But in practice, people do not do this, which causes high prio RT tasks to bounce around the CPUs. This becomes even worse when we have priority inheritance, because a high prio task can block on a lower prio task and boost its priority. When the lower prio task wakes up the high prio task, if it happens to be on the same CPU it will migrate off of it. But in reality, the above does not happen much either, because the wake up of the lower prio task, which has already been boosted, if it was on the same CPU as the higher prio task, it would then migrate off of it. But anyway, we do not want to migrate them either. To examine the scheduling, I created a test program and examined it under kernelshark. The test program created CPU * 2 threads, where each thread had a different priority. The program takes different options. The options used in this change log was to have priority inheritance mutexes or not. All threads did the following loop: static void grab_lock(long id, int iter, int l) { ftrace_write("thread %ld iter %d, taking lock %d\n", id, iter, l); pthread_mutex_lock(&locks[l]); ftrace_write("thread %ld iter %d, took lock %d\n", id, iter, l); busy_loop(nr_tasks - id); ftrace_write("thread %ld iter %d, unlock lock %d\n", id, iter, l); pthread_mutex_unlock(&locks[l]); } void *start_task(void *id) { [...] while (!done) { for (l = 0; l < nr_locks; l++) { grab_lock(id, i, l); ftrace_write("thread %ld iter %d sleeping\n", id, i); ms_sleep(id); } i++; } [...] } The busy_loop(ms) keeps the CPU spinning for ms milliseconds. The ms_sleep(ms) sleeps for ms milliseconds. The ftrace_write() writes to the ftrace buffer to help analyze via ftrace. The higher the id, the higher the prio, the shorter it does the busy loop, but the longer it spins. This is usually the case with RT tasks, the lower priority tasks usually run longer than higher priority tasks. At the end of the test, it records the number of loops each thread took, as well as the number of voluntary preemptions, non-voluntary preemptions, and number of migrations each thread took, taking the information from /proc/$$/sched and /proc/$$/status. Running this on a 4 CPU processor, the results without changes to the kernel looked like this: Task vol nonvol migrated iterations ---- --- ------ -------- ---------- 0: 53 3220 1470 98 1: 562 773 724 98 2: 752 933 1375 98 3: 749 39 697 98 4: 758 5 515 98 5: 764 2 679 99 6: 761 2 535 99 7: 757 3 346 99 total: 5156 4977 6341 787 Each thread regardless of priority migrated a few hundred times. The higher priority tasks, were a little better but still took quite an impact. By letting higher priority tasks bump the lower prio task from the CPU, things changed a bit: Task vol nonvol migrated iterations ---- --- ------ -------- ---------- 0: 37 2835 1937 98 1: 666 1821 1865 98 2: 654 1003 1385 98 3: 664 635 973 99 4: 698 197 352 99 5: 703 101 159 99 6: 708 1 75 99 7: 713 1 2 99 total: 4843 6594 6748 789 The total # of migrations did not change (several runs showed the difference all within the noise). But we now see a dramatic improvement to the higher priority tasks. (kernelshark showed that the watchdog timer bumped the highest priority task to give it the 2 count. This was actually consistent with every run). Notice that the # of iterations did not change either. The above was with priority inheritance mutexes. That is, when the higher prority task blocked on a lower priority task, the lower priority task would inherit the higher priority task (which shows why task 6 was bumped so many times). When not using priority inheritance mutexes, the current kernel shows this: Task vol nonvol migrated iterations ---- --- ------ -------- ---------- 0: 56 3101 1892 95 1: 594 713 937 95 2: 625 188 618 95 3: 628 4 491 96 4: 640 7 468 96 5: 631 2 501 96 6: 641 1 466 96 7: 643 2 497 96 total: 4458 4018 5870 765 Not much changed with or without priority inheritance mutexes. But if we let the high priority task bump lower priority tasks on wakeup we see: Task vol nonvol migrated iterations ---- --- ------ -------- ---------- 0: 115 3439 2782 98 1: 633 1354 1583 99 2: 652 919 1218 99 3: 645 713 934 99 4: 690 3 3 99 5: 694 1 4 99 6: 720 3 4 99 7: 747 0 1 100 Which shows a even bigger change. The big difference between task 3 and task 4 is because we have only 4 CPUs on the machine, causing the 4 highest prio tasks to always have preference. Although I did not measure cache misses, and I'm sure there would be little to measure since the test was not data intensive, I could imagine large improvements for higher priority tasks when dealing with lower priority tasks. Thus, I'm satisfied with making the change and agreeing with what Gregory Haskins argued a few years ago when we first had this discussion. One final note. All tasks in the above tests were RT tasks. Any RT task will always preempt a non RT task that is running on the CPU the RT task wants to run on.

* sched: Increment cache_nice_tries only on periodic lbVenkatesh Pallipadi2010-09-211-1/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | scheduler uses cache_nice_tries as an indicator to do cache_hot and active load balance, when normal load balance fails. Currently, this value is changed on any failed load balance attempt. That ends up being not so nice to workloads that enter/exit idle often, as they do more frequent new_idle balance and that pretty soon results in cache hot tasks being pulled in. Making the cache_nice_tries ignore failed new_idle balance seems to make better sense. With that only the failed load balance in periodic load balance gets accounted and the rate of accumulation of cache_nice_tries will not depend on idle entry/exit (short running sleep-wakeup kind of tasks). This reduces movement of cache_hot tasks. schedstat diff (after-before) excerpt from a workload that has frequent and short wakeup-idle pattern (:2 in cpu col below refers to NEWIDLE idx) This snapshot was across ~400 seconds.

We should check it so that the copy_from_user() doesn't overflow the buffer. Also further down in the function, we assume that if "param->u.wpa_associate.wpa_ie_len" is set then "abyWPAIE[0]" is initialized. To make that work, I changed the test here to say that if "wpa_ie_len" is set then "wpa_ie" has to be a valid pointer or we return -EINVAL. Oddly, we only use the first element of the abyWPAIE[] array. So I suspect there may be some other issues in this function.

The netfilter hook seems to be misused and may leak skbs in situations when NF_HOOK returns NF_STOLEN. It may not filter everything as expected. Also the ethernet bridge tables are not yet capable to understand batman-adv packet correctly. It was only added for testing purposes and can be removed again.

This patch fixes the two issues above: -power down phy only if no usb cable is connected with PC and b-device -do phy initialization(via __twl4030_phy_resume) if usb cable is connected with PC(vbus event) or another b-device(ID event) in twl4030_usb_probe. This patch also doesn't put VUSB3V1 LDO into active mode in twl4030_usb_ldo_init until VBUS/ID change detected, so we can save more power consumption than before. This patch is verified OK on Beagle board either connected with usb cable or not when poweron. [1]. warnings of 'unbalanced disables' of regulators.

There's a race, not very much less likely than the original race envisaged, in which it is further necessary to check that the swapcache page's swap has not changed. Here's the reasoning: cast in terms of reuse_swap_page(), but probably could be reformulated to rely on try_to_free_swap() instead, or on swapoff+swapon. A, faults into do_swap_page(): does page1 = lookup_swap_cache(swap1) and comes through the lock_page(page1). B, a racing thread of the same process, faults on the same address: does page1 = lookup_swap_cache(swap1) and now waits in lock_page(page1), but for whatever reason is unlucky not to get the lock any time soon. A carries on through do_swap_page(), a write fault, but cannot reuse the swap page1 (another reference to swap1). Unlocks the page1 (but B doesn't get it yet), does COW in do_wp_page(), page2 now in that pte. C, perhaps the parent of A+B, comes in and write faults the same swap page1 into its mm, reuse_swap_page() succeeds this time, swap1 is freed. kswapd comes in after some time (B still unlucky) and swaps out some pages from A+B and C: it allocates the original swap1 to page2 in A+B, and some other swap2 to the original page1 now in C. But does not immediately free page1 (actually it couldn't: B holds a reference), leaving it in swap cache for now. B at last gets the lock on page1, hooray! Is PageSwapCache(page1)? Yes. Is pte_same(*page_table, orig_pte)? Yes, because page2 has now been given the swap1 which page1 used to have. So B proceeds to insert page1 into A+B's page_table, though its content now belongs to C, quite different from what A wrote there. B ought to have checked that page1's swap was still swap1.

It leads to quite a few unpleasant inconsistencies, starting with SIGSEGV potentially arriving not where it should and including e.g. mess with sigsuspend(); consider two pending signals blocked until sigsuspend() unblocks them. We pick the first one; then, if we are hit by interrupt while in the handler, we process the second one as well. If we are not, and if no syscalls had been made, we get out of the first handler and leave the second signal pending; normally sigreturn() would've picked it anyway, but here it starts with restoring the original mask and voila - the second signal is blocked again. On everything else we get both delivered consistently. It's actually easy to fix; the only thing to watch out for is prevention of double syscall restart. Fortunately, the idea I've nicked from arm fix by rmk works just fine... Testcase demonstrating the behaviour in question; on alpha we get one or both flags set (usually one), on everything else both are always set. #include <signal.h> #include <stdio.h> int had1, had2; void f1(int sig) { had1 = 1; } void f2(int sig) { had2 = 1; } main() { sigset_t set1, set2; sigemptyset(&set1); sigemptyset(&set2); sigaddset(&set2, 1); sigaddset(&set2, 2); signal(1, f1); signal(2, f2); sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, &set2, NULL); raise(1); raise(2); sigsuspend(&set1); printf("had1:%d had2:%d\n", had1, had2); } Tested-by: Michael Cree <mcree@orcon.net.nz> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Matt Turner <mattst88@gmail.com>
| | * alpha: fix a 14 years old bug in sigreturn tracingAl Viro2010-09-191-2/+11

What happens is direct return to ret_from_syscall, in order to bypass mangling of a3 (error indicator) and prevent other mutilations of registers (e.g. by syscall restart). That's fine, but... the entire TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE codepath is kept separate on alpha and post-syscall stopping/notifying the tracer is after the syscall. And the normal path we are forcibly switching to doesn't have it. So we end up with *one* stop in traced sigreturn() vs. two in other syscalls. And yes, strace is visibly broken by that; try to strace the following #include <signal.h> #include <stdio.h> void f(int sig) {} main() { signal(SIGHUP, f); raise(SIGHUP); write(1, "eeeek\n", 6); } and watch the show. The close(1) = 405 in the end of strace output is coming from return value of write() (6 == __NR_close on alpha) and syscall number of exit_group() (__NR_exit_group == 405 there). The fix is fairly simple - the only thing we end up missing is the call of syscall_trace() and we can tell whether we'd been called from the SYSCALL_TRACE path by checking ra value. Since we are setting the switch_stack up (that's what sys_sigreturn() does), we have the right environment for calling syscall_trace() - just before we call undo_switch_stack() and return. Since undo_switch_stack() will overwrite s0 anyway, we can use it to store the result of "has it been called from SYSCALL_TRACE path?" check. The same thing applies in rt_sigreturn().

Leaving that after switch to ERESTARTNOHAND was a Bad Idea(tm), since now that screws the restart - if we hit the case when get_signal_to_deliver() returns 0, we will step back to syscall insn, with v0 set to EINTR and a3 to 1. The latter won't matter, since EINTR is 4, aka __NR_write. Testcase: #include <signal.h> #define _GNU_SOURCE #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/syscall.h> main() { sigset_t mask; sigemptyset(&mask); sigaddset(&mask, SIGCONT); sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, &mask, NULL); kill(0, SIGCONT); syscall(__NR_sigsuspend, 1, "b0rken\n", 7); } results on alpha in immediate message to stdout... Fix is obvious; moreover, since we don't need regs anymore, we can switch to normal prototypes for these guys and lose the wrappers. Even better, rt_sigsuspend() is identical to generic version in kernel/signal.c now.

| | * | ide: Fix ordering of procfs registry.Wolfram Sang2010-09-141-9/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We must ensure that ide_proc_port_register_devices() occurs on an interface before ide_proc_register_driver() executes for that interfaces drives. Therefore defer the registry of the driver device objects backed by ide_bus_type until after ide_proc_port_register_devices() has run and thus all of the drive->proc procfs directory pointers have been setup.

The root cause of this has not yet been identified and may well be a hardware design bug on the platform, but r8169 should be more resiliant to this. This patch enables the rxfifo interrupt on 8168 devices and removes the MAC version check in the interrupt handler, and the machine no longer crashes when under network load while the screen turns off.

This causes problems with some embedded devices. However for large MSS devices we do want to half-MSS packetize otherwise we never get enough packets into the pipe for things like fast retransmit and recovery to work. Be careful also to handle the case where MSS > window, otherwise we'll never send until the probe timer. Reported-by: ツ Leandro Melo de Sales <leandroal@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

If not, this would lead to a NULL pointer dereference in the phy_state_machine() function. This scenario can happen if the Ethernet driver call manually the PHY functions instead of using the PAL state machine. The mv643xx_eth driver is a such example.
