* cpufreq: Avoid leaving stale IRQ work items during CPU offlineRafael J. Wysocki2019-12-121-0/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The scheduler code calling cpufreq_update_util() may run during CPU offline on the target CPU after the IRQ work lists have been flushed for it, so the target CPU should be prevented from running code that may queue up an IRQ work item on it at that point. Unfortunately, that may not be the case if dvfs_possible_from_any_cpu is set for at least one cpufreq policy in the system, because that allows the CPU going offline to run the utilization update callback of the cpufreq governor on behalf of another (online) CPU in some cases. If that happens, the cpufreq governor callback may queue up an IRQ work on the CPU running it, which is going offline, and the IRQ work may not be flushed after that point. Moreover, that IRQ work cannot be flushed until the "offlining" CPU goes back online, so if any other CPU calls irq_work_sync() to wait for the completion of that IRQ work, it will have to wait until the "offlining" CPU is back online and that may not happen forever. In particular, a system-wide deadlock may occur during CPU online as a result of that. The failing scenario is as follows. CPU0 is the boot CPU, so it creates a cpufreq policy and becomes the "leader" of it (policy->cpu). It cannot go offline, because it is the boot CPU. Next, other CPUs join the cpufreq policy as they go online and they leave it when they go offline. The last CPU to go offline, say CPU3, may queue up an IRQ work while running the governor callback on behalf of CPU0 after leaving the cpufreq policy because of the dvfs_possible_from_any_cpu effect described above. Then, CPU0 is the only online CPU in the system and the stale IRQ work is still queued on CPU3. When, say, CPU1 goes back online, it will run irq_work_sync() to wait for that IRQ work to complete and so it will wait for CPU3 to go back online (which may never happen even in principle), but (worse yet) CPU0 is waiting for CPU1 at that point too and a system-wide deadlock occurs. To address this problem notice that CPUs which cannot run cpufreq utilization update code for themselves (for example, because they have left the cpufreq policies that they belonged to), should also be prevented from running that code on behalf of the other CPUs that belong to a cpufreq policy with dvfs_possible_from_any_cpu set and so in that case the cpufreq_update_util_data pointer of the CPU running the code must not be NULL as well as for the CPU which is the target of the cpufreq utilization update in progress. Accordingly, change cpufreq_this_cpu_can_update() into a regular function in kernel/sched/cpufreq.c (instead of a static inline in a header file) and make it check the cpufreq_update_util_data pointer of the local CPU if dvfs_possible_from_any_cpu is set for the target cpufreq policy. Also update the schedutil governor to do the cpufreq_this_cpu_can_update() check in the non-fast-switch case too to avoid the stale IRQ work issues.

* sched/cpufreq: Annotate cpufreq_update_util_data pointer with __rcuJoel Fernandes (Google)2019-04-031-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Recently I added an RCU annotation check to rcu_assign_pointer(). All pointers assigned to RCU protected data are to be annotated with __rcu inorder to be able to use rcu_assign_pointer() similar to checks in other RCU APIs. This resulted in a sparse error: kernel//sched/cpufreq.c:41:9: sparse: error: incompatible types in comparison expression (different address spaces) Fix this by annotating cpufreq_update_util_data pointer with __rcu. This will also help sparse catch any future RCU misuage bugs.

* sched: Replace synchronize_sched() with synchronize_rcu()Paul E. McKenney2019-01-261-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that synchronize_rcu() waits for preempt-disable regions of code as well as RCU read-side critical sections, synchronize_sched() can be replaced by synchronize_rcu(), in fact, synchronize_sched() is now completely equivalent to synchronize_rcu(). This commit therefore replaces synchronize_sched() with synchronize_rcu() so that synchronize_sched() can eventually be removed entirely. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

* sched/headers: Simplify and clean up header usage in the schedulerIngo Molnar2018-03-041-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Do the following cleanups and simplifications: - sched/sched.h already includes <asm/paravirt.h>, so no need to include it in sched/core.c again. - order the <linux/sched/*.h> headers alphabetically - add all <linux/sched/*.h> headers to kernel/sched/sched.h - remove all unnecessary includes from the .c files that are already included in kernel/sched/sched.h. Finally, make all scheduler .c files use a single common header: #include "sched.h" ... which now contains a union of the relied upon headers. This makes the various .c files easier to read and easier to handle.

* cpufreq / sched: Pass flags to cpufreq_update_util()Rafael J. Wysocki2016-08-161-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is useful to know the reason why cpufreq_update_util() has just been called and that can be passed as flags to cpufreq_update_util() and to the ->func() callback in struct update_util_data. However, doing that in addition to passing the util and max arguments they already take would be clumsy, so avoid it. Instead, use the observation that the schedutil governor is part of the scheduler proper, so it can access scheduler data directly. This allows the util and max arguments of cpufreq_update_util() and the ->func() callback in struct update_util_data to be replaced with a flags one, but schedutil has to be modified to follow. Thus make the schedutil governor obtain the CFS utilization information from the scheduler and use the "RT" and "DL" flags instead of the special utilization value of ULONG_MAX to track updates from the RT and DL sched classes. Make it non-modular too to avoid having to export scheduler variables to modules at large. Next, update all of the other users of cpufreq_update_util() and the ->func() callback in struct update_util_data accordingly.

* cpufreq: sched: Helpers to add and remove update_util hooksRafael J. Wysocki2016-04-021-11/+37
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Replace the single helper for adding and removing cpufreq utilization update hooks, cpufreq_set_update_util_data(), with a pair of helpers, cpufreq_add_update_util_hook() and cpufreq_remove_update_util_hook(), and modify the users of cpufreq_set_update_util_data() accordingly. With the new helpers, the code using them doesn't need to worry about the internals of struct update_util_data and in particular it doesn't need to worry about populating the func field in it properly upfront.

* cpufreq: Move scheduler-related code to the sched directoryRafael J. Wysocki2016-03-101-0/+37
Create cpufreq.c under kernel/sched/ and move the cpufreq code related to the scheduler to that file and to sched.h. Redefine cpufreq_update_util() as a static inline function to avoid function calls at its call sites in the scheduler code (as suggested by Peter Zijlstra). Also move the definition of struct update_util_data and declaration of cpufreq_set_update_util_data() from include/linux/cpufreq.h to include/linux/sched.h. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
