2018-05-18T07:05:14Z

In the following commit: 6b55c9654fcc ("sched/debug: Move print_cfs_rq() declaration to kernel/sched/sched.h") the print_cfs_rq() prototype was added to , right next to the prototypes for print_cfs_stats(), print_rt_stats() and print_dl_stats(). Finish this previous commit and also move related prototypes for print_rt_rq() and print_dl_rq(). Remove existing extern declarations now that they not needed anymore.

locking/percpu-rwsem: Annotate rwsem ownership transfer by setting RWSEM_OWNER_UNKNOWN

2018-05-16T09:45:16Z

The filesystem freezing code needs to transfer ownership of a rwsem embedded in a percpu-rwsem from the task that does the freezing to another one that does the thawing by calling percpu_rwsem_release() after freezing and percpu_rwsem_acquire() before thawing. However, the new rwsem debug code runs afoul with this scheme by warning that the task that releases the rwsem isn't the one that acquires it, as reported by Amir Goldstein: DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(sem->owner != get_current()) WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 1401 at /home/amir/build/src/linux/kernel/locking/rwsem.c:133 up_write+0x59/0x79 Call Trace: percpu_up_write+0x1f/0x28 thaw_super_locked+0xdf/0x120 do_vfs_ioctl+0x270/0x5f1 ksys_ioctl+0x52/0x71 __x64_sys_ioctl+0x16/0x19 do_syscall_64+0x5d/0x167 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x49/0xbe To work properly with the rwsem debug code, we need to annotate that the rwsem ownership is unknown during the tranfer period until a brave soul comes forward to acquire the ownership. During that period, optimistic spinning will be disabled.

locking/rwsem: Add a new RWSEM_ANONYMOUSLY_OWNED flag

2018-05-16T09:45:15Z

There are use cases where a rwsem can be acquired by one task, but released by another task. In thess cases, optimistic spinning may need to be disabled. One example will be the filesystem freeze/thaw code where the task that freezes the filesystem will acquire a write lock on a rwsem and then un-owns it before returning to userspace. Later on, another task will come along, acquire the ownership, thaw the filesystem and release the rwsem. Bit 0 of the owner field was used to designate that it is a reader owned rwsem. It is now repurposed to mean that the owner of the rwsem is not known. If only bit 0 is set, the rwsem is reader owned. If bit 0 and other bits are set, it is writer owned with an unknown owner. One such value for the latter case is (-1L). So we can set owner to 1 for reader-owned, -1 for writer-owned. The owner is unknown in both cases. To handle transfer of rwsem ownership, the higher level code should set the owner field to -1 to indicate a write-locked rwsem with unknown owner. Optimistic spinning will be disabled in this case. Once the higher level code figures who the new owner is, it can then set the owner field accordingly.

tick/broadcast: Use for_each_cpu() specially on UP kernels

2018-05-15T20:45:54Z

for_each_cpu() unintuitively reports CPU0 as set independent of the actual cpumask content on UP kernels. This causes an unexpected PIT interrupt storm on a UP kernel running in an SMP virtual machine on Hyper-V, and as a result, the virtual machine can suffer from a strange random delay of 1~20 minutes during boot-up, and sometimes it can hang forever. Protect if by checking whether the cpumask is empty before entering the for_each_cpu() loop.

Revert "sched/numa: Delay retrying placement for automatic NUMA balance after wake_affine()"

2018-05-12T06:37:56Z

This reverts commit 7347fc87dfe6b7315e74310ee1243dc222c68086. Srikar Dronamra pointed out that while the commit in question did show a performance improvement on ppc64, it did so at the cost of disabling active CPU migration by automatic NUMA balancing which was not the intent. The issue was that a serious flaw in the logic failed to ever active balance if SD_WAKE_AFFINE was disabled on scheduler domains. Even when it's enabled, the logic is still bizarre and against the original intent. Investigation showed that fixing the patch in either the way he suggested, using the correct comparison for jiffies values or introducing a new numa_migrate_deferred variable in task_struct all perform similarly to a revert with a mix of gains and losses depending on the workload, machine and socket count. The original intent of the commit was to handle a problem whereby wake_affine, idle balancing and automatic NUMA balancing disagree on the appropriate placement for a task. This was particularly true for cases where a single task was a massive waker of tasks but where wake_wide logic did not apply. This was particularly noticeable when a futex (a barrier) woke all worker threads and tried pulling the wakees to the waker nodes. In that specific case, it could be handled by tuning MPI or openMP appropriately, but the behavior is not illogical and was worth attempting to fix. However, the approach was wrong. Given that we're at rc4 and a fix is not obvious, it's better to play safe, revert this commit and retry later.
