* sched, cpuset: Fix dl_cpu_busy() panic due to empty cs->cpus_allowedWaiman Long2022-08-032-4/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With cgroup v2, the cpuset's cpus_allowed mask can be empty indicating that the cpuset will just use the effective CPUs of its parent. So cpuset_can_attach() can call task_can_attach() with an empty mask. This can lead to cpumask_any_and() returns nr_cpu_ids causing the call to dl_bw_of() to crash due to percpu value access of an out of bound CPU value. For example: [80468.182258] BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffffff8b6648b0 : [80468.191019] RIP: 0010:dl_cpu_busy+0x30/0x2b0 : [80468.207946] Call Trace: [80468.208947] cpuset_can_attach+0xa0/0x140 [80468.209953] cgroup_migrate_execute+0x8c/0x490 [80468.210931] cgroup_update_dfl_csses+0x254/0x270 [80468.211898] cgroup_subtree_control_write+0x322/0x400 [80468.212854] kernfs_fop_write_iter+0x11c/0x1b0 [80468.213777] new_sync_write+0x11f/0x1b0 [80468.214689] vfs_write+0x1eb/0x280 [80468.215592] ksys_write+0x5f/0xe0 [80468.216463] do_syscall_64+0x5c/0x80 [80468.224287] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xae Fix that by using effective_cpus instead. For cgroup v1, effective_cpus is the same as cpus_allowed. For v2, effective_cpus is the real cpumask to be used by tasks within the cpuset anyway. Also update task_can_attach()'s 2nd argument name to cs_effective_cpus to reflect the change. In addition, a check is added to task_can_attach() to guard against the possibility that cpumask_any_and() may return a value >= nr_cpu_ids.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | NOMAP irq domains use the revmap_size field to indicate the maximum hwirq number the domain accepts. This is a bit confusing as revmap_size is usually used to indicate the size of the revmap array, which a NOMAP domain doesn't have. Instead, use the hwirq_max field which has the correct semantics, and keep revmap_size to 0 for a NOMAP domain.

Doing this improves power efficiency for most workloads, and also increases the reliability of energy-efficiency scheduling. - Optimize/tweak select_idle_cpu() to spend (much) less time searching for an idle CPU on overloaded systems. There's reports of several milliseconds spent there on large systems with large workloads ... [ Since the search logic changed, there might be behavioral side effects. ] - Improve NUMA imbalance behavior. On certain systems with spare capacity, initial placement of tasks is non-deterministic, and such an artificial placement imbalance can persist for a long time, hurting (and sometimes helping) performance. The fix is to make fork-time task placement consistent with runtime NUMA balancing placement. Note that some performance regressions were reported against this, caused by workloads that are not memory bandwith limited, which benefit from the artificial locality of the placement bug(s). Mel Gorman's conclusion, with which we concur, was that consistency is better than random workload benefits from non-deterministic bugs: "Given there is no crystal ball and it's a tradeoff, I think it's better to be consistent and use similar logic at both fork time and runtime even if it doesn't have universal benefit." - Improve core scheduling by fixing a bug in sched_core_update_cookie() that caused unnecessary forced idling. - Improve wakeup-balancing by allowing same-LLC wakeup of idle CPUs for newly woken tasks. - Fix a newidle balancing bug that introduced unnecessary wakeup latencies. ABI improvements/fixes: - Do not check capabilities and do not issue capability check denial messages when a scheduler syscall doesn't require privileges. (Such as increasing niceness.) - Add forced-idle accounting to cgroups too. - Fix/improve the RSEQ ABI to not just silently accept unknown flags. (No existing tooling is known to have learned to rely on the previous behavior.) - Depreciate the (unused) RSEQ_CS_FLAG_NO_RESTART_ON_* flags. Optimizations: - Optimize & simplify leaf_cfs_rq_list() - Micro-optimize set_nr_{and_not,if}_polling() via try_cmpxchg(). Misc fixes & cleanups: - Fix the RSEQ self-tests on RISC-V and Glibc 2.35 systems. - Fix a full-NOHZ bug that can in some cases result in the tick not being re-enabled when the last SCHED_RT task is gone from a runqueue but there's still SCHED_OTHER tasks around. - Various PREEMPT_RT related fixes. - Misc cleanups & smaller fixes" * tag 'sched-core-2022-08-01' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (32 commits) rseq: Kill process when unknown flags are encountered in ABI structures rseq: Deprecate RSEQ_CS_FLAG_NO_RESTART_ON_* flags sched/core: Fix the bug that task won't enqueue into core tree when update cookie nohz/full, sched/rt: Fix missed tick-reenabling bug in dequeue_task_rt() sched/core: Always flush pending blk_plug sched/fair: fix case with reduced capacity CPU sched/core: Use try_cmpxchg in set_nr_{and_not,if}_polling sched/core: add forced idle accounting for cgroups sched/fair: Remove the energy margin in feec() sched/fair: Remove task_util from effective utilization in feec() sched/fair: Use the same cpumask per-PD throughout find_energy_efficient_cpu() sched/fair: Rename select_idle_mask to select_rq_mask sched, drivers: Remove max param from effective_cpu_util()/sched_cpu_util() sched/fair: Decay task PELT values during wakeup migration sched/fair: Provide u64 read for 32-bits arch helper sched/fair: Introduce SIS_UTIL to search idle CPU based on sum of util_avg sched: only perform capability check on privileged operation sched: Remove unused function group_first_cpu() sched/fair: Remove redundant word " *" selftests/rseq: check if libc rseq support is registered ...

The current behavior when those bits are set is to ignore them. This is not an ideal behavior, because when future features will start using those flags, if user-space fails to correctly validate that the kernel indeed supports those flags (e.g. with a new sys_rseq flags bit) before using them, it may incorrectly assume that the kernel will handle those flags way when in fact those will be silently ignored on older kernels. Validating that unused flags bits are cleared will allow a smoother transition when those flags will start to be used by allowing applications to fail early, and obviously, when they attempt to use the new flags on an older kernel that does not support them.

Solving those issues requires introducing additional complexity in the rseq implementation for each supported architecture. Considering that it complexifies the rseq ABI, I am proposing that we deprecate those flags. [2] So far there appears to be consensus from maintainers of user-space projects impacted by this feature that its removal would be a welcome simplification. [3] The deprecation approach proposed here is to issue WARN_ON_ONCE() when encountering those flags and kill the offending process with sigsegv. This should allow us to quickly identify whether anyone yells at us for removing this.

Here follows the scenario: CPU x and CPU y are a pair of SMT siblings. 1. Start task a running on CPU x without sleeping, and task b and task c running on CPU y without sleeping. 2. We create a cookie and share it to task a and task b, and then we create another cookie and share it to task c. 3. Simpling core_forceidle_sum of task a and b from /proc/PID/sched And we will find out that core_forceidle_sum of task a takes 30% time of the sampling period, which shouldn't happen as task a and b have the same cookie. Then we migrate task a to CPU x', migrate task b and c to CPU y', where CPU x' and CPU y' are a pair of SMT siblings, and sampling again, we will found out that core_forceidle_sum of task a and b are almost zero. To solve this problem, we enqueue the task into the core tree if it's on rq.

The lock is a normal struct mutex, so tsk_is_pi_blocked() will always return false on !RT and thus the behaviour changes for RT. It seems that the intent here is to skip blk_flush_plug() in the case where a non-preemptible lock (such as a spinlock) has been converted to a rtmutex on RT, which is the case covered by the SM_RTLOCK_WAIT schedule flag. But sched_submit_work() is only called from schedule() which is never called in this scenario, so the check can simply be deleted. Looking at the history of the -rt patchset, in fact this change was present from v5.9.1-rt20 until being dropped in v5.13-rt1 as it was part of a larger patch [1] most of which was replaced by commit b4bfa3fcfe3b ("sched/core: Rework the __schedule() preempt argument"). As described in [1]: The schedule process must distinguish between blocking on a regular sleeping lock (rwsem and mutex) and a RT-only sleeping lock (spinlock and rwlock): - rwsem and mutex must flush block requests (blk_schedule_flush_plug()) even if blocked on a lock. This can not deadlock because this also happens for non-RT. There should be a warning if the scheduling point is within a RCU read section. - spinlock and rwlock must not flush block requests. This will deadlock if the callback attempts to acquire a lock which is already acquired. Similarly to being preempted, there should be no warning if the scheduling point is within a RCU read section. and with the tsk_is_pi_blocked() in the scheduler path, we hit the first issue.

The rework of the load balance has filtered the case when the CPU is classified to be fully busy but its capacity is reduced. Check if CPU's capacity is reduced while gathering load balance statistic and classify it group_misfit_task instead of group_fully_busy so we can try to move the load on another CPU.

This margin is set as being 6% of the total current energy estimated on the system. This however does not work for two reasons: 1. The energy estimation is not a good absolute value: compute_energy() used in feec() is a good estimation for task placement as it allows to compare the energy with and without a task. The computed delta will give a good overview of the cost for a certain task placement. It, however, doesn't work as an absolute estimation for the total energy of the system. First it adds the contribution to idle CPUs into the energy, second it mixes util_avg with util_est values. util_avg contains the near history for a CPU usage, it doesn't tell at all what the current utilization is. A system that has been quite busy in the near past will hold a very high energy and then a high margin preventing any task migration to a lower capacity CPU, wasting energy. It even creates a negative feedback loop: by holding the tasks on a less efficient CPU, the margin contributes in keeping the energy high. 2. The margin handicaps small tasks: On a system where the workload is composed mostly of small tasks (which is often the case on Android), the overall energy will be high enough to create a margin none of those tasks can cross. On a Pixel4, a small utilization of 5% on all the CPUs creates a global estimated energy of 140 joules, as per the Energy Model declaration of that same device. This means, after applying the 6% margin that any migration must save more than 8 joules to happen. No task with a utilization lower than 40 would then be able to migrate away from the biggest CPU of the system. The 6% of the overall system energy was brought by the following patch: (eb92692b2544 sched/fair: Speed-up energy-aware wake-ups) It was previously 6% of the prev_cpu energy. Also, the following one made this margin value conditional on the clusters where the task fits: (8d4c97c105ca sched/fair: Only compute base_energy_pd if necessary) We could simply revert that margin change to what it was, but the original version didn't have strong grounds neither and as demonstrated in (1.) the estimated energy isn't a good absolute value. Instead, removing it completely. It is indeed, made possible by recent changes that improved energy estimation comparison fairness (sched/fair: Remove task_util from effective utilization in feec()) (PM: EM: Increase energy calculation precision) and task utilization stabilization (sched/fair: Decay task util_avg during migration) Without a margin, we could have feared bouncing between CPUs. But running LISA's eas_behaviour test coverage on three different platforms (Hikey960, RB-5 and DB-845) showed no issue. Removing the energy margin enables more energy-optimized placements for a more energy efficient system.

This effective utilization is then used as an estimation of the busy time for this pd. The function effective_cpu_util() which gives this value, scales the utilization relative to IRQ pressure on the CPU to take into account that the IRQ time is hidden from the task clock. The IRQ scaling is as follow: effective_cpu_util = irq + (cpu_cap - irq)/cpu_cap * util Where util is the sum of CFS/RT/DL utilization, cpu_cap the capacity of the CPU and irq the IRQ avg time. If now we take as an example a task placement which doesn't raise the OPP on the candidate CPU, we can write the energy delta as: delta = OPPcost/cpu_cap * (effective_cpu_util(cpu_util + task_util) - effective_cpu_util(cpu_util)) = OPPcost/cpu_cap * (cpu_cap - irq)/cpu_cap * task_util We end-up with an energy delta depending on the IRQ avg time, which is a problem: first the time spent on IRQs by a CPU has no effect on the additional energy that would be consumed by a task. Second, we don't want to favour a CPU with a higher IRQ avg time value. Nonetheless, we need to take the IRQ avg time into account. If a task placement raises the PD's frequency, it will increase the energy cost for the entire time where the CPU is busy. A solution is to only use effective_cpu_util() with the CPU contribution part. The task contribution is added separately and scaled according to prev_cpu's IRQ time. No change for the FREQUENCY_UTIL component of the energy estimation. We still want to get the actual frequency that would be selected after the task placement.

That's why the PD mask is used in conjunction with the cpu_online_mask (or Sched Domain cpumask). Thereby the cpu_online_mask is fetched multiple times (in compute_energy()) during a run-queue selection for a task. cpu_online_mask may change during this time which can lead to wrong energy calculations. To be able to avoid this, use the select_rq_mask per-cpu cpumask to create a cpumask out of PD cpumask and cpu_online_mask and pass it through the function calls of the EAS run-queue selection path. The PD cpumask for max_spare_cap_cpu/compute_prev_delta selection (find_energy_efficient_cpu()) is now ANDed not only with the SD mask but also with the cpu_online_mask. This is fine since this cpumask has to be in syc with the one used for energy computation (compute_energy()). An exclusive cpuset setup with at least one asymmetric CPU capacity island (hence the additional AND with the SD cpumask) is the obvious exception here.

A lot of code calling effective_cpu_util() (or the shim sched_cpu_util()) needs the maximum CPU capacity, i.e. it will call arch_scale_cpu_capacity() already. But not having to pass it into effective_cpu_util() will make the EAS wake-up code easier, especially when the maximum CPU capacity reduced by the thermal pressure is passed through the EAS wake-up functions. Due to the asymmetric CPU capacity support of arm/arm64 architectures, arch_scale_cpu_capacity(int cpu) is a per-CPU variable read access via per_cpu(cpu_scale, cpu) on such a system. On all other architectures it is a a compile-time constant (SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE).

Once done, that same task will also have its sched_avg last_update_time reset. This means the time between the migration and the last clock update will not be accounted for in util_avg and a discontinuity will appear. This issue is amplified by the PELT clock scaling. It takes currently one tick after the CPU being idle to let clock_pelt catching up clock_task. This is especially problematic for asymmetric CPU capacity systems which need stable util_avg signals for task placement and energy estimation. Ideally, this problem would be solved by updating the runqueue clocks before the migration. But that would require taking the runqueue lock which is quite expensive [1]. Instead estimate the missing time and update the task util_avg with that value. To that end, we need sched_clock_cpu() but it is a costly function. Limit the usage to the case where the source CPU is idle as we know this is when the clock is having the biggest risk of being outdated. See comment in migrate_se_pelt_lag() for more details about how the PELT value is estimated. Notice though this estimation doesn't take into account IRQ and Paravirt time.

A 100% efficiency indicates that the target, prev or recent CPU of a task was idle at wakeup. The lower the efficiency, the more runqueues were scanned before an idle CPU was found.

Although some benchmarks would finally find an idle CPU(success_rate% = 100%), it is doubtful whether it is worth it to search the whole LLC domain. [Proposal] It would be ideal to have a crystal ball to answer this question: How many CPUs must a wakeup path walk down, before it can find an idle CPU? Many potential metrics could be used to predict the number. One candidate is the sum of util_avg in this LLC domain. The benefit of choosing util_avg is that it is a metric of accumulated historic activity, which seems to be smoother than instantaneous metrics (such as rq->nr_running). Besides, choosing the sum of util_avg would help predict the load of the LLC domain more precisely, because SIS_PROP uses one CPU's idle time to estimate the total LLC domain idle time. In summary, the lower the util_avg is, the more select_idle_cpu() should scan for idle CPU, and vice versa. When the sum of util_avg in this LLC domain hits 85% or above, the scan stops. The reason to choose 85% as the threshold is that this is the imbalance_pct(117) when a LLC sched group is overloaded. Introduce the quadratic function: y = SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE - p * x^2 and y'= y / SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE x is the ratio of sum_util compared to the CPU capacity: x = sum_util / (llc_weight * SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE) y' is the ratio of CPUs to be scanned in the LLC domain, and the number of CPUs to scan is calculated by: nr_scan = llc_weight * y' Choosing quadratic function is because: [1] Compared to the linear function, it scans more aggressively when the sum_util is low. [2] Compared to the exponential function, it is easier to calculate. [3] It seems that there is no accurate mapping between the sum of util_avg and the number of CPUs to be scanned. Use heuristic scan for now. For a platform with 112 CPUs per LLC, the number of CPUs to scan is: sum_util% 0 5 15 25 35 45 55 65 75 85 86 ... scan_nr 112 111 108 102 93 81 65 47 25 1 0 ... For a platform with 16 CPUs per LLC, the number of CPUs to scan is: sum_util% 0 5 15 25 35 45 55 65 75 85 86 ... scan_nr 16 15 15 14 13 11 9 6 3 0 0 ... Furthermore, to minimize the overhead of calculating the metrics in select_idle_cpu(), borrow the statistics from periodic load balance. As mentioned by Abel, on a platform with 112 CPUs per LLC, the sum_util calculated by periodic load balance after 112 ms would decay to about 0.5 * 0.5 * 0.5 * 0.7 = 8.75%, thus bringing a delay in reflecting the latest utilization. But it is a trade-off. Checking the util_avg in newidle load balance would be more frequent, but it brings overhead - multiple CPUs write/read the per-LLC shared variable and introduces cache contention. Tim also mentioned that, it is allowed to be non-optimal in terms of scheduling for the short-term variations, but if there is a long-term trend in the load behavior, the scheduler can adjust for that. When SIS_UTIL is enabled, the select_idle_cpu() uses the nr_scan calculated by SIS_UTIL instead of the one from SIS_PROP. As Peter and Mel suggested, SIS_UTIL should be enabled by default. This patch is based on the util_avg, which is very sensitive to the CPU frequency invariance. There is an issue that, when the max frequency has been clamp, the util_avg would decay insanely fast when the CPU is idle. Commit addca285120b ("cpufreq: intel_pstate: Handle no_turbo in frequency invariance") could be used to mitigate this symptom, by adjusting the arch_max_freq_ratio when turbo is disabled. But this issue is still not thoroughly fixed, because the current code is unaware of the user-specified max CPU frequency. [Test result] netperf and tbench were launched with 25% 50% 75% 100% 125% 150% 175% 200% of CPU number respectively. Hackbench and schbench were launched by 1, 2 ,4, 8 groups.

Also, a OLTP workload with a commercial RDBMS has been tested, and there is no significant change. There were concerns that unbalanced tasks among CPUs would cause problems. For example, suppose the LLC domain is composed of 8 CPUs, and 7 tasks are bound to CPU0~CPU6, while CPU7 is idle: CPU0 CPU1 CPU2 CPU3 CPU4 CPU5 CPU6 CPU7 util_avg 1024 1024 1024 1024 1024 1024 1024 0 Since the util_avg ratio is 87.5%( = 7/8 ), which is higher than 85%, select_idle_cpu() will not scan, thus CPU7 is undetected during scan. But according to Mel, it is unlikely the CPU7 will be idle all the time because CPU7 could pull some tasks via CPU_NEWLY_IDLE. lkp(kernel test robot) has reported a regression on stress-ng.sock on a very busy system. According to the sched_debug statistics, it might be caused by SIS_UTIL terminates the scan and chooses a previous CPU earlier, and this might introduce more context switch, especially involuntary preemption, which impacts a busy stress-ng. This regression has shown that, not all benchmarks in every scenario benefit from idle CPU scan limit, and it needs further investigation. Besides, there is slight regression in hackbench's 16 groups case when the LLC domain has 16 CPUs. Prateek mentioned that we should scan aggressively in an LLC domain with 16 CPUs. Because the cost to search for an idle one among 16 CPUs is negligible. The current patch aims to propose a generic solution and only considers the util_avg. Something like the below could be applied on top of the current patch to fulfill the requirement: if (llc_weight <= 16) nr_scan = nr_scan * 32 / llc_weight; For LLC domain with 16 CPUs, the nr_scan will be expanded to 2 times large. The smaller the CPU number this LLC domain has, the larger nr_scan will be expanded. This needs further investigation. There is also ongoing work[2] from Abel to filter out the busy CPUs during wakeup, to further speed up the idle CPU scan. And it could be a following-up optimization on top of this change.

This is relevant in connection with SELinux, where a capability check results in a policy decision and by default a denial message on insufficient permission is issued. It can lead to three undesired cases: 1. A denial message is generated, even in case the operation was an unprivileged one and thus the syscall succeeded, creating noise. 2. To avoid the noise from 1. the policy writer adds a rule to ignore those denial messages, hiding future syscalls, where the task performs an actual privileged operation, leading to hidden limited functionality of that task. 3. To avoid the noise from 1. the policy writer adds a rule to allow the task the capability CAP_SYS_NICE, while it does not need it, violating the principle of least privilege. Conduct privilged/unprivileged categorization first and perform a capable test (and at most once) only if needed.

So far, using wakelist within the same llc only happens on WF_ON_CPU, and this limitation could be removed to further improve wakeup performance. The commit 518cd6234178 ("sched: Only queue remote wakeups when crossing cache boundaries") disabled queuing tasks on wakelist when the cpus share llc. This is because, at that time, the scheduler must send IPIs to do ttwu_queue_wakelist. Nowadays, ttwu_queue_wakelist also supports TIF_POLLING, so this is not a problem now when the wakee cpu is in idle polling. Benefits: Queuing the task on idle cpu can help improving performance on waker cpu and utilization on wakee cpu, and further improve locality because the wakee cpu can handle its own rq. This patch helps improving rt on our real java workloads where wakeup happens frequently. Consider the normal condition (CPU0 and CPU1 share same llc) Before this patch: CPU0 CPU1 select_task_rq() idle rq_lock(CPU1->rq) enqueue_task(CPU1->rq) notify CPU1 (by sending IPI or CPU1 polling) resched() After this patch: CPU0 CPU1 select_task_rq() idle add to wakelist of CPU1 notify CPU1 (by sending IPI or CPU1 polling) rq_lock(CPU1->rq) enqueue_task(CPU1->rq) resched() We see CPU0 can finish its work earlier. It only needs to put task to wakelist and return. While CPU1 is idle, so let itself handle its own runqueue data. This patch brings no difference about IPI. This patch only takes effect when the wakee cpu is: 1) idle polling 2) idle not polling For 1), there will be no IPI with or without this patch. For 2), there will always be an IPI before or after this patch. Before this patch: waker cpu will enqueue task and check preempt.

As such, the task being the only runnable task on the rq implies reading rq->nr_running == 0 at that point. The benchmark result is in [1].

This is very important for minimizing wakeup latency. However, if we are already in load_balance(), we may stay there for a while before returning back to newidle_balance(). This is most exacerbated if we enter a 'goto redo' loop in the LBF_ALL_PINNED case. A very straightforward workaround to this is to adjust should_we_balance() to bail out if we're doing a CPU_NEWLY_IDLE balance and new tasks are detected. This was tested with the following reproduction: - two threads that take turns sleeping and waking each other up are affined to two cores - a large number of threads with 100% utilization are pinned to all other cores Without this patch, wakeup latency was ~120us for the pair of threads, almost entirely spent in load_balance(). With this patch, wakeup latency is ~6us.

But those later bugfix add cfs_rqs under throttled subtree back to rq->leaf_cfs_rq_list again, with their fully decayed ancestors, for the integrity of rq->leaf_cfs_rq_list. This patch takes another method, skip all cfs_rqs under throttled hierarchy when list_add_leaf_cfs_rq(), to completely make cfs_rqs under throttled subtree off the leaf_cfs_rq_list. So we don't need to consider throttled related things in enqueue_entity(), unthrottle_cfs_rq() and enqueue_task_fair(), which simplify the code a lot. Also optimize update_blocked_averages() since cfs_rqs under throttled hierarchy and their ancestors won't be on the leaf_cfs_rq_list.

Stream is one such representative workload where the best performance is obtained by limiting one stream thread per LLC. To ensure this, users are known to pin the tasks to a specify a subset of the CPUs consisting of one CPU per LLC while running such bandwidth hungry tasks. Suppose we kickstart a multi-threaded task like stream with 8 threads using taskset or numactl to run on a subset of CPUs on a 2 socket Zen3 server where each socket contains 128 CPUs (0-63,128-191 in one socket, 64-127,192-255 in another socket) Eg: numactl -C 0,16,32,48,64,80,96,112 ./stream8 Here each CPU in the list is from a different LLC and 4 of those LLCs are on one socket, while the other 4 are on another socket. Ideally we would prefer that each stream thread runs on a different CPU from the allowed list of CPUs. However, the current heuristics in find_idlest_group() do not allow this during the initial placement. Suppose the first socket (0-63,128-191) is our local group from which we are kickstarting the stream tasks. The first four stream threads will be placed in this socket. When it comes to placing the 5th thread, all the allowed CPUs are from the local group (0,16,32,48) would have been taken. However, the current scheduler code simply checks if the number of tasks in the local group is fewer than the allowed numa-imbalance threshold. This threshold was previously 25% of the NUMA domain span (in this case threshold = 32) but after the v6 of Mel's patchset "Adjust NUMA imbalance for multiple LLCs", got merged in sched-tip, Commit: e496132ebedd ("sched/fair: Adjust the allowed NUMA imbalance when SD_NUMA spans multiple LLCs") it is now equal to number of LLCs in the NUMA domain, for processors with multiple LLCs. (in this case threshold = 8). For this example, the number of tasks will always be within threshold and thus all the 8 stream threads will be woken up on the first socket thereby resulting in sub-optimal performance. The following sched_wakeup_new tracepoint output shows the initial placement of tasks in the current tip/sched/core on the Zen3 machine: stream-5313 [016] d..2. 627.005036: sched_wakeup_new: comm=stream pid=5315 prio=120 target_cpu=032 stream-5313 [016] d..2. 627.005086: sched_wakeup_new: comm=stream pid=5316 prio=120 target_cpu=048 stream-5313 [016] d..2. 627.005141: sched_wakeup_new: comm=stream pid=5317 prio=120 target_cpu=000 stream-5313 [016] d..2. 627.005183: sched_wakeup_new: comm=stream pid=5318 prio=120 target_cpu=016 stream-5313 [016] d..2. 627.005218: sched_wakeup_new: comm=stream pid=5319 prio=120 target_cpu=016 stream-5313 [016] d..2. 627.005256: sched_wakeup_new: comm=stream pid=5320 prio=120 target_cpu=016 stream-5313 [016] d..2. 627.005295: sched_wakeup_new: comm=stream pid=5321 prio=120 target_cpu=016 Once the first four threads are distributed among the allowed CPUs of socket one, the rest of the treads start piling on these same CPUs when clearly there are CPUs on the second socket that can be used. Following the initial pile up on a small number of CPUs, though the load-balancer eventually kicks in, it takes a while to get to {4}{4} and even {4}{4} isn't stable as we observe a bunch of ping ponging between {4}{4} to {5}{3} and back before a stable state is reached much later (1 Stream thread per allowed CPU) and no more migration is required. We can detect this piling and avoid it by checking if the number of allowed CPUs in the local group are fewer than the number of tasks running in the local group and use this information to spread the 5th task out into the next socket (after all, the goal in this slowpath is to find the idlest group and the idlest CPU during the initial placement!). The following sched_wakeup_new tracepoint output shows the initial placement of tasks after adding this fix on the Zen3 machine: stream-4485 [016] d..2. 230.784046: sched_wakeup_new: comm=stream pid=4487 prio=120 target_cpu=032 stream-4485 [016] d..2. 230.784123: sched_wakeup_new: comm=stream pid=4488 prio=120 target_cpu=048 stream-4485 [016] d..2. 230.784167: sched_wakeup_new: comm=stream pid=4489 prio=120 target_cpu=000 stream-4485 [016] d..2. 230.784222: sched_wakeup_new: comm=stream pid=4490 prio=120 target_cpu=112 stream-4485 [016] d..2. 230.784271: sched_wakeup_new: comm=stream pid=4491 prio=120 target_cpu=096 stream-4485 [016] d..2. 230.784322: sched_wakeup_new: comm=stream pid=4492 prio=120 target_cpu=080 stream-4485 [016] d..2. 230.784368: sched_wakeup_new: comm=stream pid=4493 prio=120 target_cpu=064 We see that threads are using all of the allowed CPUs and there is no pileup. No output is generated for tracepoint sched_migrate_task with this patch due to a perfect initial placement which removes the need for balancing later on - both across NUMA boundaries and within NUMA boundaries for stream.

One intent of the cut-off is to avoid an imbalance of memory channels but there is no topological information based on active memory channels. Furthermore, there can be differences between nodes depending on the number of populated DIMMs. A cut-off of 25% was arbitrary but generally worked. It does have a severe corner cases though when an parallel workload is using 25% of all available CPUs over-saturates memory channels. This can happen due to the initial forking of tasks that get pulled more to one node after early wakeups (e.g. a barrier synchronisation) that is not quickly corrected by the load balancer. The LB may fail to act quickly as the parallel tasks are considered to be poor migrate candidates due to locality or cache hotness. On a range of modern Intel CPUs, 12.5% appears to be a better cut-off assuming all memory channels are populated and is used as the new cut-off point. A minimum of 1 is specified to allow a communicating pair to remain local even for CPUs with low numbers of cores. For modern AMDs, there are multiple LLCs and are not affected.
