* | kernel core: use helpers for rlimitsJiri Slaby2010-03-061-2/+3
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make sure compiler won't do weird things with limits. E.g. fetching them twice may return 2 different values after writable limits are implemented. I.e. either use rlimit helpers added in commit 3e10e716abf3 ("resource: add helpers for fetching rlimits") or ACCESS_ONCE if not applicable.

* sched: Fully integrate cpus_active_map and root-domain codeGregory Haskins2009-08-021-7/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Reflect "active" cpus in the rq->rd->online field, instead of the online_map. The motivation is that things that use the root-domain code (such as cpupri) only care about cpus classified as "active" anyway. By synchronizing the root-domain state with the active map, we allow several optimizations. For instance, we can remove an extra cpumask_and from the scheduler hotpath by utilizing rq->rd->online (since it is now a cached version of cpu_active_map & rq->rd->span).

* sched: Enhance the pre/post scheduling logicGregory Haskins2009-08-021-20/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We currently have an explicit "needs_post" vtable method which returns a stack variable for whether we should later run post-schedule. This leads to an awkward exchange of the variable as it bubbles back up out of the context switch. Peter Zijlstra observed that this information could be stored in the run-queue itself instead of handled on the stack. Therefore, we revert to the method of having context_switch return void, and update an internal rq->post_schedule variable when we require further processing. In addition, we fix a race condition where we try to access current->sched_class without holding the rq->lock. This is technically racy, as the sched-class could change out from under us. Instead, we reference the per-rq post_schedule variable with the runqueue unlocked, but with preemption disabled to see if we need to reacquire the rq->lock. Finally, we clean the code up slightly by removing the #ifdef CONFIG_SMP conditionals from the schedule() call, and implement some inline helper functions instead. This patch passes checkpatch, and rt-migrate.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes an easily triggerable BUG() when setting process affinities. Make sure to count the number of migratable tasks in the same place: the root rt_rq. Otherwise the number doesn't make sense and we'll hit the BUG in set_cpus_allowed_rt(). Also, make sure we only count tasks, not groups (this is probably already taken care of by the fact that rt_se->nr_cpus_allowed will be 0 for groups, but be more explicit) Tested-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> CC: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Gregory Haskins <ghaskins@novell.com> LKML-Reference: <1247067476.9777.57.camel@twins> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

This was the result of a dropped rq lock in double_lock_balance allowing a task in the process of being pushed to potentially migrate away, and thus corrupt the pushable_tasks() list. I traced back the problem as introduced by the pushable_tasks patch that went in recently. There is a "retry" path in push_rt_task() that actually had a compound conditional to decide whether to retry or exit. I missed the meaning behind the rationale for the virtual "if(!task) goto out;" portion of the compound statement and thus did not handle it properly. The new pushable_tasks logic actually creates three distinct conditions: 1) an untouched and unpushable task should be dequeued 2) a migrated task where more pushable tasks remain should be retried 3) a migrated task where no more pushable tasks exist should exit The original logic mushed (1) and (3) together, resulting in the system dequeuing a migrated task (against an unlocked foreign run-queue nonetheless). To fix this, we get rid of the notion of "paranoid" and we support the three unique conditions properly. The paranoid feature is no longer relevant with the new pushable logic (since pushable naturally limits the loop) anyway, so lets just remove it.

| | * | sched: create "pushable_tasks" list to limit pushing to one attemptGregory Haskins2008-12-291-18/+101

When a task is awoken, it is immediately determined if there are any lower priority cpus which should be preempted. This is opposed to the way normal SCHED_OTHER tasks behave, which will wait for a periodic rebalancing operation to occur before spreading out load. When a particular RQ has more than 1 active RT task, it is said to be in an "overloaded" state. Once this occurs, the system enters the active balancing mode, where it will try to push the task away, or persuade a different cpu to pull it over. The system will stay in this state until the system falls back below the <= 1 queued RT task per RQ. However, the current implementation suffers from a limitation in the push logic. Once overloaded, all tasks (other than current) on the RQ are analyzed on every push operation, even if it was previously unpushable (due to affinity, etc). Whats more, the operation stops at the first task that is unpushable and will not look at items lower in the queue. This causes two problems: 1) We can have the same tasks analyzed over and over again during each push, which extends out the fast path in the scheduler for no gain. Consider a RQ that has dozens of tasks that are bound to a core. Each one of those tasks will be encountered and skipped for each push operation while they are queued. 2) There may be lower-priority tasks under the unpushable task that could have been successfully pushed, but will never be considered until either the unpushable task is cleared, or a pull operation succeeds. The net result is a potential latency source for mid priority tasks. This patch aims to rectify these two conditions by introducing a new priority sorted list: "pushable_tasks". A task is added to the list each time a task is activated or preempted. It is removed from the list any time it is deactivated, made current, or fails to push. This works because a task only needs to be attempted to push once. After an initial failure to push, the other cpus will eventually try to pull the task when the conditions are proper. This also solves the problem that we don't completely analyze all tasks due to encountering an unpushable tasks. Now every task will have a push attempted (when appropriate). This reduces latency both by shorting the critical section of the rq->lock for certain workloads, and by making sure the algorithm considers all eligible tasks in the system.

This is currently not a problem as we only look at rq->rt.overloaded. However, we want to enhance this going forward to look at more state to reduce the need to post_schedule to a bare minimum set. Therefore, we introduce a new member-func called needs_post_schedule() which tests for the post_schedule condtion without actually performing the work. Therefore it is safe to call this function before the rq->lock is released, because we are guaranteed not to drop the lock at an intermediate point (such as what post_schedule() may do).

| | * | sched: use highest_prio.curr for pull thresholdGregory Haskins2008-12-291-25/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | highest_prio.curr is actually a more accurate way to keep track of the pull_rt_task() threshold since it is always up to date, even if the "next" task migrates during double_lock. Therefore, stop looking at the "next" task object and simply use the highest_prio.curr. Signed-off-by: Gregory Haskins <ghaskins@novell.com>

|/ / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | cpumask_and() only initializes nr_cpu_ids bits, so the (deprecated) first_cpu() might find one of those uninitialized bits if nr_cpu_ids is less than NR_CPUS (as it can be for CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK).

* | sched: put back some stack hog changes that were undone in kernel/sched.cMike Travis2009-01-031-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: prevents panic from stack overflow on numa-capable machines. Some of the "removal of stack hogs" changes in kernel/sched.c by using node_to_cpumask_ptr were undone by the early cpumask API updates, and causes a panic due to stack overflow. This patch undoes those changes by using cpumask_of_node() which returns a 'const struct cpumask *'. In addition, cpu_coregoup_map is replaced with cpu_coregroup_mask further reducing stack usage. (Both of these updates removed 9 FIXME's!) Also: Pick up some remaining changes from the old 'cpumask_t' functions to the new 'struct cpumask *' functions. Optimize memory traffic by allocating each percpu local_cpu_mask on the same node as the referring cpu.
