License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

sched: Cleanup bandwidth timers
Roman reported a 3 cpu lockup scenario involving __start_cfs_bandwidth().
The more I look at that code the more I'm convinced its crack, that
entire __start_cfs_bandwidth() thing is brain melting, we don't need to
cancel a timer before starting it, *hrtimer_start*() will happily remove
the timer for you if its still enqueued.
Removing that, removes a big part of the problem, no more ugly cancel
loop to get stuck in.
So now, if I understand things right, the entire reason you have this
cfs_b->lock guarded ->timer_active nonsense is to make sure we don't
accidentally lose the timer.
It appears to me that it should be possible to guarantee that same by
unconditionally (re)starting the timer when !queued. Because regardless
what hrtimer::function will return, if we beat it to (re)enqueue the
timer, it doesn't matter.
Now, because hrtimers don't come with any serialization guarantees we
must ensure both handler and (re)start loop serialize their access to
the hrtimer to avoid both trying to forward the timer at the same
time.
Update the rt bandwidth timer to match.
This effectively reverts: 09dc4ab03936 ("sched/fair: Fix
tg_set_cfs_bandwidth() deadlock on rq->lock").

sched,perf: Fix periodic timers
In the below two commits (see Fixes) we have periodic timers that can
stop themselves when they're no longer required, but need to be
(re)-started when their idle condition changes.
Further complications is that we want the timer handler to always do
the forward such that it will always correctly deal with the overruns,
and we do not want to race such that the handler has already decided
to stop, but the (external) restart sees the timer still active and we
end up with a 'lost' timer.
The problem with the current code is that the re-start can come before
the callback does the forward, at which point the forward from the
callback will WARN about forwarding an enqueued timer.
Now, conceptually its easy to detect if you're before or after the fwd
by comparing the expiration time against the current time. Of course,
that's expensive (and racy) because we don't have the current time.
Alternatively one could cache this state inside the timer, but then
everybody pays the overhead of maintaining this extra state, and that
is undesired.
The only other option that I could see is the external timer_active
variable, which I tried to kill before. I would love a nicer interface
for this seemingly simple 'problem' but alas.

sched/rt: Kick RT bandwidth timer immediately on start up
I've been debugging why deadline tasks can cause the RT scheduler to
throttle, even when the deadline tasks are only taking up 50% of the
CPU and RT tasks are not even using 1% of the CPU. Here's what I found.
In order to keep a CPU from being hogged by RT tasks, the deadline
scheduler adds its run time (delta_exec) to the rt_time of the RT
bandwidth. That way, if the two use more than 95% of the CPU within one
second (default settings), the RT tasks are throttled to allow non RT
tasks to run.
Although the deadline tasks add their run time to the RT bandwidth, it
lets the RT tasks do the accounting. This is where the problem lies. If
a deadline task runs for a bit, and no RT tasks are running, then it
will continually add to the RT rt_time that is used to calculate how
much CPU the RT tasks use. But no RT period is in play, and this
accumulation of the runtime never gets reset.
When an RT task finally gets to run, and the watchdog goes off, it can
see that the RT task has used more than it should of, because the
deadline task added all this runtime to its rt_time. Then the RT task
that just woke up gets throttled for no good reason.
I also noticed that when an RT task is queued, it starts the timer to
account for overload and such. But that timer goes off one period
later, which may be too late and the extra rt_time will trigger a
throttle.
This is a quick work around to the problem. When a new RT task is
queued, the bandwidth timer is set to go off immediately. Then the
timer can clear out the extra time added to the rt_time while there was
no RT task running. This stops my tests from triggering the throttle,
and it will still throttle if an RT task runs too much, even while a
deadline task is running.
A better solution may be to subtract the bandwidth that the deadline
task uses from the rt_runtime, and add it back when its finished. Then
there wont be a need for runtime tracking of the time used by deadline
tasks.
I may play with that solution tomorrow.

sched,perf: Fix periodic timers
In the below two commits (see Fixes) we have periodic timers that can
stop themselves when they're no longer required, but need to be
(re)-started when their idle condition changes.
Further complications is that we want the timer handler to always do
the forward such that it will always correctly deal with the overruns,
and we do not want to race such that the handler has already decided
to stop, but the (external) restart sees the timer still active and we
end up with a 'lost' timer.
The problem with the current code is that the re-start can come before
the callback does the forward, at which point the forward from the
callback will WARN about forwarding an enqueued timer.
Now, conceptually its easy to detect if you're before or after the fwd
by comparing the expiration time against the current time. Of course,
that's expensive (and racy) because we don't have the current time.
Alternatively one could cache this state inside the timer, but then
everybody pays the overhead of maintaining this extra state, and that
is undesired.
The only other option that I could see is the external timer_active
variable, which I tried to kill before. I would love a nicer interface
for this seemingly simple 'problem' but alas.

sched/rt: Use IPI to trigger RT task push migration instead of pulling
When debugging the latencies on a 40 core box, where we hit 300 to
500 microsecond latencies, I found there was a huge contention on the
runqueue locks.
Investigating it further, running ftrace, I found that it was due to
the pulling of RT tasks.
The test that was run was the following:
cyclictest --numa -p95 -m -d0 -i100
This created a thread on each CPU, that would set its wakeup in iterations
of 100 microseconds. The -d0 means that all the threads had the same
interval (100us). Each thread sleeps for 100us and wakes up and measures
its latencies.
cyclictest is maintained at:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/clrkwllms/rt-tests.git
What happened was another RT task would be scheduled on one of the CPUs
that was running our test, when the other CPU tests went to sleep and
scheduled idle. This caused the "pull" operation to execute on all
these CPUs. Each one of these saw the RT task that was overloaded on
the CPU of the test that was still running, and each one tried
to grab that task in a thundering herd way.
To grab the task, each thread would do a double rq lock grab, grabbing
its own lock as well as the rq of the overloaded CPU. As the sched
domains on this box was rather flat for its size, I saw up to 12 CPUs
block on this lock at once. This caused a ripple affect with the
rq locks especially since the taking was done via a double rq lock, which
means that several of the CPUs had their own rq locks held while trying
to take this rq lock. As these locks were blocked, any wakeups or load
balanceing on these CPUs would also block on these locks, and the wait
time escalated.
I've tried various methods to lessen the load, but things like an
atomic counter to only let one CPU grab the task wont work, because
the task may have a limited affinity, and we may pick the wrong
CPU to take that lock and do the pull, to only find out that the
CPU we picked isn't in the task's affinity.
Instead of doing the PULL, I now have the CPUs that want the pull to
send over an IPI to the overloaded CPU, and let that CPU pick what
CPU to push the task to. No more need to grab the rq lock, and the
push/pull algorithm still works fine.
With this patch, the latency dropped to just 150us over a 20 hour run.
Without the patch, the huge latencies would trigger in seconds.
I've created a new sched feature called RT_PUSH_IPI, which is enabled
by default.
When RT_PUSH_IPI is not enabled, the old method of grabbing the rq locks
and having the pulling CPU do the work is implemented. When RT_PUSH_IPI
is enabled, the IPI is sent to the overloaded CPU to do a push.
To enabled or disable this at run time:
# mount -t debugfs nodev /sys/kernel/debug
# echo RT_PUSH_IPI > /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features
or
# echo NO_RT_PUSH_IPI > /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features
Update: This original patch would send an IPI to all CPUs in the RT overload
list. But that could theoretically cause the reverse issue. That is, there
could be lots of overloaded RT queues and one CPU lowers its priority. It would
then send an IPI to all the overloaded RT queues and they could then all try
to grab the rq lock of the CPU lowering its priority, and then we have the
same problem.
The latest design sends out only one IPI to the first overloaded CPU. It tries to
push any tasks that it can, and then looks for the next overloaded CPU that can
push to the source CPU. The IPIs stop when all overloaded CPUs that have pushable
tasks that have priorities greater than the source CPU are covered. In case the
source CPU lowers its priority again, a flag is set to tell the IPI traversal to
restart with the first RT overloaded CPU after the source CPU.

sched: Use pushable_tasks to determine next highest prio
Hillf Danton proposed a patch (see link) that cleaned up the
sched_rt code that calculates the priority of the next highest priority
task to be used in finding run queues to pull from.
His patch removed the calculating of the next prio to just use the current
prio when deteriming if we should examine a run queue to pull from. The problem
with his patch was that it caused more false checks. Because we check a run
queue for pushable tasks if the current priority of that run queue is higher
in priority than the task about to run on our run queue. But after grabbing
the locks and doing the real check, we find that there may not be a task
that has a higher prio task to pull. Thus the locks were taken with nothing to
do.
I added some trace_printks() to record when and how many times the run queue
locks were taken to check for pullable tasks, compared to how many times we
pulled a task.
With the current method, it was:
3806 locks taken vs 2812 pulled tasks
With Hillf's patch:
6728 locks taken vs 2804 pulled tasks
The number of times locks were taken to pull a task went up almost double with
no more success rate.
But his patch did get me thinking. When we look at the priority of the highest
task to consider taking the locks to do a pull, a failure to pull can be one
of the following: (in order of most likely)
o RT task was pushed off already between the check and taking the lock
o Waiting RT task can not be migrated
o RT task's CPU affinity does not include the target run queue's CPU
o RT task's priority changed between the check and taking the lock
And with Hillf's patch, the thing that caused most of the failures, is
the RT task to pull was not at the right priority to pull (not greater than
the current RT task priority on the target run queue).
Most of the above cases we can't help. But the current method does not check
if the next highest prio RT task can be migrated or not, and if it can not,
we still grab the locks to do the test (we don't find out about this fact until
after we have the locks). I thought about this case, and realized that the
pushable task plist that is maintained only holds RT tasks that can migrate.
If we move the calculating of the next highest prio task from the inc/dec_rt_task()
functions into the queuing of the pushable tasks, then we only measure the
priorities of those tasks that we push, and we get this basically for free.
Not only does this patch make the code a little more efficient, it cleans it
up and makes it a little simpler.

sched: create "pushable_tasks" list to limit pushing to one attempt
The RT scheduler employs a "push/pull" design to actively balance tasks
within the system (on a per disjoint cpuset basis). 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.

sched: create "pushable_tasks" list to limit pushing to one attempt
The RT scheduler employs a "push/pull" design to actively balance tasks
within the system (on a per disjoint cpuset basis). 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.

sched_rt.c: resch needed in rt_rq_enqueue() for the root rt_rq
While working on the new version of the code for SCHED_SPORADIC I
noticed something strange in the present throttling mechanism. More
specifically in the throttling timer handler in sched_rt.c
(do_sched_rt_period_timer()) and in rt_rq_enqueue().
The problem is that, when unthrottling a runqueue, rt_rq_enqueue() only
asks for rescheduling if the runqueue has a sched_entity associated to
it (i.e., rt_rq->rt_se != NULL).
Now, if the runqueue is the root rq (which has a rt_se = NULL)
rescheduling does not take place, and it is delayed to some undefined
instant in the future.
This imply some random bandwidth usage by the RT tasks under throttling.
For instance, setting rt_runtime_us/rt_period_us = 950ms/1000ms an RT
task will get less than 95%. In our tests we got something varying
between 70% to 95%.
Using smaller time values, e.g., 95ms/100ms, things are even worse, and
I can see values also going down to 20-25%!!
The tests we performed are simply running 'yes' as a SCHED_FIFO task,
and checking the CPU usage with top, but we can investigate thoroughly
if you think it is needed.
Things go much better, for us, with the attached patch... Don't know if
it is the best approach, but it solved the issue for us.

scheduling, this patch fixes two problems
1. It adds redundant enqueuing (harmless) when it finds a queue
has tasks enqueued, but it has no run time and it is not
throttled.
2. The most important change is in sched_rt_rq_enqueue/dequeue.
The code just picks the rt_rq belonging to the current cpu
on which the period timer runs, the patch fixes it, so that
the correct rt_se is enqueued/dequeued.
Tested with a simple hierarchy
/c/d, c and d assigned similar runtimes of 50,000 and a while
1 loop runs within "d". Both c and d get throttled, without
the patch, the task just stops running and never runs (depends
on where the sched_rt b/w timer runs). With the patch, the
task is throttled and runs as expected.

sched/deadline: Prevent rt_time growth to infinity
Kirill Tkhai noted:
Since deadline tasks share rt bandwidth, we must care about
bandwidth timer set. Otherwise rt_time may grow up to infinity
in update_curr_dl(), if there are no other available RT tasks
on top level bandwidth.
RT task were in fact throttled right after they got enqueued,
and never executed again (rt_time never again went below rt_runtime).
Peter then proposed to accrue DL execution on rt_time only when
rt timer is active, and proposed a patch (this patch is a slight
modification of that) to implement that behavior. While this
solves Kirill problem, it has a drawback.
Indeed, Kirill noted again:
It looks we may get into a situation, when all CPU time is shared
between RT and DL tasks:
rt_runtime = n
rt_period = 2n
| RT working, DL sleeping | DL working, RT sleeping |
-----------------------------------------------------------
| (1) duration = n | (2) duration = n | (repeat)
|--------------------------|------------------------------|
| (rt_bw timer is running) | (rt_bw timer is not running) |
No time for fair tasks at all.
While this can happen during the first period, if rq is always backlogged,
RT tasks won't have the opportunity to execute anymore: rt_time reached
rt_runtime during (1), suppose after (2) RT is enqueued back, it gets
throttled since rt timer didn't fire, replenishment is from now on eaten up
by DL tasks that accrue their execution on rt_time (while rt timer is
active - we have an RT task waiting for replenishment). FAIR tasks are
not touched after this first period. Ok, this is not ideal, and the situation
is even worse!
What above (the nice case), practically never happens in reality, where
your rt timer is not aligned to tasks periods, tasks are in general not
periodic, etc.. Long story short, you always risk to overload your system.
This patch is based on Peter's idea, but exploits an additional fact:
if you don't have RT tasks enqueued, it makes little sense to continue
incrementing rt_time once you reached the upper limit (DL tasks have their
own mechanism for throttling).
This cures both problems:
- no matter how many DL instances in the past, you'll have an rt_time
slightly above rt_runtime when an RT task is enqueued, and from that
point on (after the first replenishment), the task will normally execute;
- you can still eat up all bandwidth during the first period, but not
anymore after that, remember that DL execution will increment rt_time
till the upper limit is reached.
The situation is still not perfect! But, we have a simple solution for now,
that limits how much you can jeopardize your system, as we keep working
towards the right answer: RT groups scheduled using deadline servers.

sched: Fix sched rt group scheduling when hierachy is enabled
The current sched rt code is broken when it comes to hierarchical
scheduling, this patch fixes two problems
1. It adds redundant enqueuing (harmless) when it finds a queue
has tasks enqueued, but it has no run time and it is not
throttled.
2. The most important change is in sched_rt_rq_enqueue/dequeue.
The code just picks the rt_rq belonging to the current cpu
on which the period timer runs, the patch fixes it, so that
the correct rt_se is enqueued/dequeued.
Tested with a simple hierarchy
/c/d, c and d assigned similar runtimes of 50,000 and a while
1 loop runs within "d". Both c and d get throttled, without
the patch, the task just stops running and never runs (depends
on where the sched_rt b/w timer runs). With the patch, the
task is throttled and runs as expected.

timers: fix itimer/many thread hang
Overview
This patch reworks the handling of POSIX CPU timers, including the
ITIMER_PROF, ITIMER_VIRT timers and rlimit handling. It was put together
with the help of Roland McGrath, the owner and original writer of this code.
The problem we ran into, and the reason for this rework, has to do with using
a profiling timer in a process with a large number of threads. It appears
that the performance of the old implementation of run_posix_cpu_timers() was
at least O(n*3) (where "n" is the number of threads in a process) or worse.
Everything is fine with an increasing number of threads until the time taken
for that routine to run becomes the same as or greater than the tick time, at
which point things degrade rather quickly.
This patch fixes bug 9906, "Weird hang with NPTL and SIGPROF."
Code Changes
This rework corrects the implementation of run_posix_cpu_timers() to make it
run in constant time for a particular machine. (Performance may vary between
one machine and another depending upon whether the kernel is built as single-
or multiprocessor and, in the latter case, depending upon the number of
running processors.) To do this, at each tick we now update fields in
signal_struct as well as task_struct. The run_posix_cpu_timers() function
uses those fields to make its decisions.
We define a new structure, "task_cputime," to contain user, system and
scheduler times and use these in appropriate places:
struct task_cputime {
cputime_t utime;
cputime_t stime;
unsigned long long sum_exec_runtime;
};
This is included in the structure "thread_group_cputime," which is a new
substructure of signal_struct and which varies for uniprocessor versus
multiprocessor kernels. For uniprocessor kernels, it uses "task_cputime" as
a simple substructure, while for multiprocessor kernels it is a pointer:
struct thread_group_cputime {
struct task_cputime totals;
};
struct thread_group_cputime {
struct task_cputime *totals;
};
We also add a new task_cputime substructure directly to signal_struct, to
cache the earliest expiration of process-wide timers, and task_cputime also
replaces the it_*_expires fields of task_struct (used for earliest expiration
of thread timers). The "thread_group_cputime" structure contains process-wide
timers that are updated via account_user_time() and friends. In the non-SMP
case the structure is a simple aggregator; unfortunately in the SMP case that
simplicity was not achievable due to cache-line contention between CPUs (in
one measured case performance was actually _worse_ on a 16-cpu system than
the same test on a 4-cpu system, due to this contention). For SMP, the
thread_group_cputime counters are maintained as a per-cpu structure allocated
using alloc_percpu(). The timer functions update only the timer field in
the structure corresponding to the running CPU, obtained using per_cpu_ptr().
We define a set of inline functions in sched.h that we use to maintain the
thread_group_cputime structure and hide the differences between UP and SMP
implementations from the rest of the kernel. The thread_group_cputime_init()
function initializes the thread_group_cputime structure for the given task.
The thread_group_cputime_alloc() is a no-op for UP; for SMP it calls the
out-of-line function thread_group_cputime_alloc_smp() to allocate and fill
in the per-cpu structures and fields. The thread_group_cputime_free()
function, also a no-op for UP, in SMP frees the per-cpu structures. The
thread_group_cputime_clone_thread() function (also a UP no-op) for SMP calls
thread_group_cputime_alloc() if the per-cpu structures haven't yet been
allocated. The thread_group_cputime() function fills the task_cputime
structure it is passed with the contents of the thread_group_cputime fields;
in UP it's that simple but in SMP it must also safely check that tsk->signal
is non-NULL (if it is it just uses the appropriate fields of task_struct) and,
if so, sums the per-cpu values for each online CPU. Finally, the three
functions account_group_user_time(), account_group_system_time() and
account_group_exec_runtime() are used by timer functions to update the
respective fields of the thread_group_cputime structure.
Non-SMP operation is trivial and will not be mentioned further.
The per-cpu structure is always allocated when a task creates its first new
thread, via a call to thread_group_cputime_clone_thread() from copy_signal().
It is freed at process exit via a call to thread_group_cputime_free() from
cleanup_signal().
All functions that formerly summed utime/stime/sum_sched_runtime values from
from all threads in the thread group now use thread_group_cputime() to
snapshot the values in the thread_group_cputime structure or the values in
the task structure itself if the per-cpu structure hasn't been allocated.
Finally, the code in kernel/posix-cpu-timers.c has changed quite a bit.
The run_posix_cpu_timers() function has been split into a fast path and a
slow path; the former safely checks whether there are any expired thread
timers and, if not, just returns, while the slow path does the heavy lifting.
With the dedicated thread group fields, timers are no longer "rebalanced" and
the process_timer_rebalance() function and related code has gone away. All
summing loops are gone and all code that used them now uses the
thread_group_cputime() inline. When process-wide timers are set, the new
task_cputime structure in signal_struct is used to cache the earliest
expiration; this is checked in the fast path.
Performance
The fix appears not to add significant overhead to existing operations. It
generally performs the same as the current code except in two cases, one in
which it performs slightly worse (Case 5 below) and one in which it performs
very significantly better (Case 2 below). Overall it's a wash except in those
two cases.
I've since done somewhat more involved testing on a dual-core Opteron system.
Case 1: With no itimer running, for a test with 100,000 threads, the fixed
kernel took 1428.5 seconds, 513 seconds more than the unfixed system,
all of which was spent in the system. There were twice as many
voluntary context switches with the fix as without it.
Case 2: With an itimer running at .01 second ticks and 4000 threads (the most
an unmodified kernel can handle), the fixed kernel ran the test in
eight percent of the time (5.8 seconds as opposed to 70 seconds) and
had better tick accuracy (.012 seconds per tick as opposed to .023
seconds per tick).
Case 3: A 4000-thread test with an initial timer tick of .01 second and an
interval of 10,000 seconds (i.e. a timer that ticks only once) had
very nearly the same performance in both cases: 6.3 seconds elapsed
for the fixed kernel versus 5.5 seconds for the unfixed kernel.
With fewer threads (eight in these tests), the Case 1 test ran in essentially
the same time on both the modified and unmodified kernels (5.2 seconds versus
5.8 seconds). The Case 2 test ran in about the same time as well, 5.9 seconds
versus 5.4 seconds but again with much better tick accuracy, .013 seconds per
tick versus .025 seconds per tick for the unmodified kernel.
Since the fix affected the rlimit code, I also tested soft and hard CPU limits.
Case 4: With a hard CPU limit of 20 seconds and eight threads (and an itimer
running), the modified kernel was very slightly favored in that while
it killed the process in 19.997 seconds of CPU time (5.002 seconds of
wall time), only .003 seconds of that was system time, the rest was
user time. The unmodified kernel killed the process in 20.001 seconds
of CPU (5.014 seconds of wall time) of which .016 seconds was system
time. Really, though, the results were too close to call. The results
were essentially the same with no itimer running.
Case 5: With a soft limit of 20 seconds and a hard limit of 2000 seconds
(where the hard limit would never be reached) and an itimer running,
the modified kernel exhibited worse tick accuracy than the unmodified
kernel: .050 seconds/tick versus .028 seconds/tick. Otherwise,
performance was almost indistinguishable. With no itimer running this
test exhibited virtually identical behavior and times in both cases.
In times past I did some limited performance testing. those results are below.
On a four-cpu Opteron system without this fix, a sixteen-thread test executed
in 3569.991 seconds, of which user was 3568.435s and system was 1.556s. On
the same system with the fix, user and elapsed time were about the same, but
system time dropped to 0.007 seconds. Performance with eight, four and one
thread were comparable. Interestingly, the timer ticks with the fix seemed
more accurate: The sixteen-thread test with the fix received 149543 ticks
for 0.024 seconds per tick, while the same test without the fix received 58720
for 0.061 seconds per tick. Both cases were configured for an interval of
0.01 seconds. Again, the other tests were comparable. Each thread in this
test computed the primes up to 25,000,000.
I also did a test with a large number of threads, 100,000 threads, which is
impossible without the fix. In this case each thread computed the primes only
up to 10,000 (to make the runtime manageable). System time dominated, at
1546.968 seconds out of a total 2176.906 seconds (giving a user time of
629.938s). It received 147651 ticks for 0.015 seconds per tick, still quite
accurate. There is obviously no comparable test without the fix.

sched: Use pushable_tasks to determine next highest prio
Hillf Danton proposed a patch (see link) that cleaned up the
sched_rt code that calculates the priority of the next highest priority
task to be used in finding run queues to pull from.
His patch removed the calculating of the next prio to just use the current
prio when deteriming if we should examine a run queue to pull from. The problem
with his patch was that it caused more false checks. Because we check a run
queue for pushable tasks if the current priority of that run queue is higher
in priority than the task about to run on our run queue. But after grabbing
the locks and doing the real check, we find that there may not be a task
that has a higher prio task to pull. Thus the locks were taken with nothing to
do.
I added some trace_printks() to record when and how many times the run queue
locks were taken to check for pullable tasks, compared to how many times we
pulled a task.
With the current method, it was:
3806 locks taken vs 2812 pulled tasks
With Hillf's patch:
6728 locks taken vs 2804 pulled tasks
The number of times locks were taken to pull a task went up almost double with
no more success rate.
But his patch did get me thinking. When we look at the priority of the highest
task to consider taking the locks to do a pull, a failure to pull can be one
of the following: (in order of most likely)
o RT task was pushed off already between the check and taking the lock
o Waiting RT task can not be migrated
o RT task's CPU affinity does not include the target run queue's CPU
o RT task's priority changed between the check and taking the lock
And with Hillf's patch, the thing that caused most of the failures, is
the RT task to pull was not at the right priority to pull (not greater than
the current RT task priority on the target run queue).
Most of the above cases we can't help. But the current method does not check
if the next highest prio RT task can be migrated or not, and if it can not,
we still grab the locks to do the test (we don't find out about this fact until
after we have the locks). I thought about this case, and realized that the
pushable task plist that is maintained only holds RT tasks that can migrate.
If we move the calculating of the next highest prio task from the inc/dec_rt_task()
functions into the queuing of the pushable tasks, then we only measure the
priorities of those tasks that we push, and we get this basically for free.
Not only does this patch make the code a little more efficient, it cleans it
up and makes it a little simpler.
Thanks to Hillf Danton for inspiring me on this patch.

sched: rework of "prioritize non-migratable tasks over migratable ones"
regarding this commit: 45c01e824991b2dd0a332e19efc4901acb31209f
I think we can do it simpler. Please take a look at the patch below.
Instead of having 2 separate arrays (which is + ~800 bytes on x86_32 and
twice so on x86_64), let's add "exclusive" (the ones that are bound to
this CPU) tasks to the head of the queue and "shared" ones -- to the
end.
In case of a few newly woken up "exclusive" tasks, they are 'stacked'
(not queued as now), meaning that a task {i+1} is being placed in front
of the previously woken up task {i}. But I don't think that this
behavior may cause any realistic problems.
There are a couple of changes on top of this one.
(1) in check_preempt_curr_rt()
I don't think there is a need for the "pick_next_rt_entity(rq, &rq->rt)
!= &rq->curr->rt" check.
enqueue_task_rt(p) and check_preempt_curr_rt() are always called one
after another with rq->lock being held so the following check
"p->rt.nr_cpus_allowed == 1 && rq->curr->rt.nr_cpus_allowed != 1" should
be enough (well, just its left part) to guarantee that 'p' has been
queued in front of the 'curr'.
(2) in set_cpus_allowed_rt()
I don't thinks there is a need for requeue_task_rt() here.
Perhaps, the only case when 'requeue' (+ reschedule) might be useful is
as follows:
i) weight == 1 && cpu_isset(task_cpu(p), *new_mask)
i.e. a task is being bound to this CPU);
ii) 'p' != rq->curr
but here, 'p' has already been on this CPU for a while and was not
migrated. i.e. it's possible that 'rq->curr' would not have high chances
to be migrated right at this particular moment (although, has chance in
a bit longer term), should we allow it to be preempted.
Anyway, I think we should not perhaps make it more complex trying to
address some rare corner cases. For instance, that's why a single queue
approach would be preferable. Unless I'm missing something obvious, this
approach gives us similar functionality at lower cost.
Verified only compilation-wise.

sched: create "pushable_tasks" list to limit pushing to one attempt
The RT scheduler employs a "push/pull" design to actively balance tasks
within the system (on a per disjoint cpuset basis). 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.

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.

sched: Try not to migrate higher priority RT tasks
When first working on the RT scheduler design, we concentrated on
keeping all CPUs running RT tasks instead of having multiple RT
tasks on a single CPU waiting for the migration thread to move
them. 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: Clean up and harmonize the coding style of the scheduler code base
A good number of small style inconsistencies have accumulated
in the scheduler core, so do a pass over them to harmonize
all these details:
- fix speling in comments,
- use curly braces for multi-line statements,
- remove unnecessary parentheses from integer literals,
- capitalize consistently,
- remove stray newlines,
- add comments where necessary,
- remove invalid/unnecessary comments,
- align structure definitions and other data types vertically,
- add missing newlines for increased readability,
- fix vertical tabulation where it's misaligned,
- harmonize preprocessor conditional block labeling
and vertical alignment,
- remove line-breaks where they uglify the code,
- add newline after local variable definitions,

sched: prioritize non-migratable tasks over migratable ones
Dmitry Adamushko pointed out a known flaw in the rt-balancing algorithm
that could allow suboptimal balancing if a non-migratable task gets
queued behind a running migratable one. It is discussed in this thread:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/4/22/296
This issue has been further exacerbated by a recent checkin to
sched-devel (git-id 5eee63a5ebc19a870ac40055c0be49457f3a89a3).
>From a pure priority standpoint, the run-queue is doing the "right"
thing. Using Dmitry's nomenclature, if T0 is on cpu1 first, and T1
wakes up at equal or lower priority (affined only to cpu1) later, it
*should* wait for T0 to finish. However, in reality that is likely
suboptimal from a system perspective if there are other cores that
could allow T0 and T1 to run concurrently. Since T1 can not migrate,
the only choice for higher concurrency is to try to move T0. This is
not something we addessed in the recent rt-balancing re-work.
This patch tries to enhance the balancing algorithm by accomodating this
scenario. It accomplishes this by incorporating the migratability of a
task into its priority calculation. Within a numerical tsk->prio, a
non-migratable task is logically higher than a migratable one. We
maintain this by introducing a new per-priority queue (xqueue, or
exclusive-queue) for holding non-migratable tasks. The scheduler will
draw from the xqueue over the standard shared-queue (squeue) when
available.
There are several details for utilizing this properly.
1) During task-wake-up, we not only need to check if the priority
preempts the current task, but we also need to check for this
non-migratable condition. Therefore, if a non-migratable task wakes
up and sees an equal priority migratable task already running, it
will attempt to preempt it *if* there is a likelyhood that the
current task will find an immediate home.
2) Tasks only get this non-migratable "priority boost" on wake-up. Any
requeuing will result in the non-migratable task being queued to the
end of the shared queue. This is an attempt to prevent the system
from being completely unfair to migratable tasks during things like
SCHED_RR timeslicing.
I am sure this patch introduces potentially "odd" behavior if you
concoct a scenario where a bunch of non-migratable threads could starve
migratable ones given the right pattern. I am not yet convinced that
this is a problem since we are talking about tasks of equal RT priority
anyway, and there never is much in the way of guarantees against
starvation under that scenario anyway. (e.g. you could come up with a
similar scenario with a specific timing environment verses an affinity
environment). I can be convinced otherwise, but for now I think this is
"ok".

sched: prioritize non-migratable tasks over migratable ones
Dmitry Adamushko pointed out a known flaw in the rt-balancing algorithm
that could allow suboptimal balancing if a non-migratable task gets
queued behind a running migratable one. It is discussed in this thread:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/4/22/296
This issue has been further exacerbated by a recent checkin to
sched-devel (git-id 5eee63a5ebc19a870ac40055c0be49457f3a89a3).
>From a pure priority standpoint, the run-queue is doing the "right"
thing. Using Dmitry's nomenclature, if T0 is on cpu1 first, and T1
wakes up at equal or lower priority (affined only to cpu1) later, it
*should* wait for T0 to finish. However, in reality that is likely
suboptimal from a system perspective if there are other cores that
could allow T0 and T1 to run concurrently. Since T1 can not migrate,
the only choice for higher concurrency is to try to move T0. This is

sched: create "pushable_tasks" list to limit pushing to one attempt
The RT scheduler employs a "push/pull" design to actively balance tasks
within the system (on a per disjoint cpuset basis). 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.

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.

sched: create "pushable_tasks" list to limit pushing to one attempt
The RT scheduler employs a "push/pull" design to actively balance tasks
within the system (on a per disjoint cpuset basis). 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.

- align structure definitions and other data types vertically,
- add missing newlines for increased readability,
- fix vertical tabulation where it's misaligned,
- harmonize preprocessor conditional block labeling
and vertical alignment,
- remove line-breaks where they uglify the code,
- add newline after local variable definitions,

sched: Clean up and harmonize the coding style of the scheduler code base
A good number of small style inconsistencies have accumulated
in the scheduler core, so do a pass over them to harmonize
all these details:
- fix speling in comments,
- use curly braces for multi-line statements,
- remove unnecessary parentheses from integer literals,
- capitalize consistently,
- remove stray newlines,
- add comments where necessary,
- remove invalid/unnecessary comments,
- align structure definitions and other data types vertically,
- add missing newlines for increased readability,
- fix vertical tabulation where it's misaligned,
- harmonize preprocessor conditional block labeling
and vertical alignment,
- remove line-breaks where they uglify the code,
- add newline after local variable definitions,
No change in functionality:

sched: create "pushable_tasks" list to limit pushing to one attempt
The RT scheduler employs a "push/pull" design to actively balance tasks
within the system (on a per disjoint cpuset basis). 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.

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.

sched: Clean up and harmonize the coding style of the scheduler code base
A good number of small style inconsistencies have accumulated
in the scheduler core, so do a pass over them to harmonize
all these details:
- fix speling in comments,
- use curly braces for multi-line statements,
- remove unnecessary parentheses from integer literals,
- capitalize consistently,
- remove stray newlines,
- add comments where necessary,
- remove invalid/unnecessary comments,
- align structure definitions and other data types vertically,
- add missing newlines for increased readability,
- fix vertical tabulation where it's misaligned,
- harmonize preprocessor conditional block labeling
and vertical alignment,
- remove line-breaks where they uglify the code,
- add newline after local variable definitions,

sched: create "pushable_tasks" list to limit pushing to one attempt
The RT scheduler employs a "push/pull" design to actively balance tasks
within the system (on a per disjoint cpuset basis). 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

sched/rt: Use IPI to trigger RT task push migration instead of pulling
When debugging the latencies on a 40 core box, where we hit 300 to
500 microsecond latencies, I found there was a huge contention on the
runqueue locks.
Investigating it further, running ftrace, I found that it was due to
the pulling of RT tasks.
The test that was run was the following:
cyclictest --numa -p95 -m -d0 -i100
This created a thread on each CPU, that would set its wakeup in iterations
of 100 microseconds. The -d0 means that all the threads had the same
interval (100us). Each thread sleeps for 100us and wakes up and measures
its latencies.
cyclictest is maintained at:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/clrkwllms/rt-tests.git
What happened was another RT task would be scheduled on one of the CPUs
that was running our test, when the other CPU tests went to sleep and
scheduled idle. This caused the "pull" operation to execute on all
these CPUs. Each one of these saw the RT task that was overloaded on
the CPU of the test that was still running, and each one tried
to grab that task in a thundering herd way.
To grab the task, each thread would do a double rq lock grab, grabbing
its own lock as well as the rq of the overloaded CPU. As the sched
domains on this box was rather flat for its size, I saw up to 12 CPUs
block on this lock at once. This caused a ripple affect with the
rq locks especially since the taking was done via a double rq lock, which
means that several of the CPUs had their own rq locks held while trying
to take this rq lock. As these locks were blocked, any wakeups or load
balanceing on these CPUs would also block on these locks, and the wait
time escalated.
I've tried various methods to lessen the load, but things like an
atomic counter to only let one CPU grab the task wont work, because
the task may have a limited affinity, and we may pick the wrong
CPU to take that lock and do the pull, to only find out that the
CPU we picked isn't in the task's affinity.
Instead of doing the PULL, I now have the CPUs that want the pull to
send over an IPI to the overloaded CPU, and let that CPU pick what
CPU to push the task to. No more need to grab the rq lock, and the
push/pull algorithm still works fine.
With this patch, the latency dropped to just 150us over a 20 hour run.
Without the patch, the huge latencies would trigger in seconds.
I've created a new sched feature called RT_PUSH_IPI, which is enabled
by default.
When RT_PUSH_IPI is not enabled, the old method of grabbing the rq locks
and having the pulling CPU do the work is implemented. When RT_PUSH_IPI
is enabled, the IPI is sent to the overloaded CPU to do a push.
To enabled or disable this at run time:
# mount -t debugfs nodev /sys/kernel/debug
# echo RT_PUSH_IPI > /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features
or
# echo NO_RT_PUSH_IPI > /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features
Update: This original patch would send an IPI to all CPUs in the RT overload
list. But that could theoretically cause the reverse issue. That is, there
could be lots of overloaded RT queues and one CPU lowers its priority. It would
then send an IPI to all the overloaded RT queues and they could then all try
to grab the rq lock of the CPU lowering its priority, and then we have the
same problem.
The latest design sends out only one IPI to the first overloaded CPU. It tries to
push any tasks that it can, and then looks for the next overloaded CPU that can
push to the source CPU. The IPIs stop when all overloaded CPUs that have pushable
tasks that have priorities greater than the source CPU are covered. In case the
source CPU lowers its priority again, a flag is set to tell the IPI traversal to
restart with the first RT overloaded CPU after the source CPU.

sched/rt: Simplify the IPI based RT balancing logic
When a CPU lowers its priority (schedules out a high priority task for a
lower priority one), a check is made to see if any other CPU has overloaded
RT tasks (more than one). It checks the rto_mask to determine this and if so
it will request to pull one of those tasks to itself if the non running RT
task is of higher priority than the new priority of the next task to run on
the current CPU.
When we deal with large number of CPUs, the original pull logic suffered
from large lock contention on a single CPU run queue, which caused a huge
latency across all CPUs. This was caused by only having one CPU having
overloaded RT tasks and a bunch of other CPUs lowering their priority. To
solve this issue, commit:
b6366f048e0c ("sched/rt: Use IPI to trigger RT task push migration instead of pulling")
changed the way to request a pull. Instead of grabbing the lock of the
overloaded CPU's runqueue, it simply sent an IPI to that CPU to do the work.
Although the IPI logic worked very well in removing the large latency build
up, it still could suffer from a large number of IPIs being sent to a single
CPU. On a 80 CPU box, I measured over 200us of processing IPIs. Worse yet,
when I tested this on a 120 CPU box, with a stress test that had lots of
RT tasks scheduling on all CPUs, it actually triggered the hard lockup
detector! One CPU had so many IPIs sent to it, and due to the restart
mechanism that is triggered when the source run queue has a priority status
change, the CPU spent minutes! processing the IPIs.
Thinking about this further, I realized there's no reason for each run queue
to send its own IPI. As all CPUs with overloaded tasks must be scanned
regardless if there's one or many CPUs lowering their priority, because
there's no current way to find the CPU with the highest priority task that
can schedule to one of these CPUs, there really only needs to be one IPI
being sent around at a time.
This greatly simplifies the code!
The new approach is to have each root domain have its own irq work, as the
rto_mask is per root domain. The root domain has the following fields
attached to it:
rto_push_work - the irq work to process each CPU set in rto_mask
rto_lock - the lock to protect some of the other rto fields
rto_loop_start - an atomic that keeps contention down on rto_lock
the first CPU scheduling in a lower priority task
is the one to kick off the process.
rto_loop_next - an atomic that gets incremented for each CPU that
schedules in a lower priority task.
rto_loop - a variable protected by rto_lock that is used to
compare against rto_loop_next
rto_cpu - The cpu to send the next IPI to, also protected by
the rto_lock.
When a CPU schedules in a lower priority task and wants to make sure
overloaded CPUs know about it. It increments the rto_loop_next. Then it
atomically sets rto_loop_start with a cmpxchg. If the old value is not "0",
then it is done, as another CPU is kicking off the IPI loop. If the old
value is "0", then it will take the rto_lock to synchronize with a possible
IPI being sent around to the overloaded CPUs.
If rto_cpu is greater than or equal to nr_cpu_ids, then there's either no
IPI being sent around, or one is about to finish. Then rto_cpu is set to the
first CPU in rto_mask and an IPI is sent to that CPU. If there's no CPUs set
in rto_mask, then there's nothing to be done.
When the CPU receives the IPI, it will first try to push any RT tasks that is
queued on the CPU but can't run because a higher priority RT task is
currently running on that CPU.
Then it takes the rto_lock and looks for the next CPU in the rto_mask. If it
finds one, it simply sends an IPI to that CPU and the process continues.
If there's no more CPUs in the rto_mask, then rto_loop is compared with
rto_loop_next. If they match, everything is done and the process is over. If
they do not match, then a CPU scheduled in a lower priority task as the IPI
was being passed around, and the process needs to start again. The first CPU
in rto_mask is sent the IPI.
This change removes this duplication of work in the IPI logic, and greatly
lowers the latency caused by the IPIs. This removed the lockup happening on
the 120 CPU machine. It also simplifies the code tremendously. What else
could anyone ask for?
Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for simplifying the rto_loop_start atomic logic and
supplying me with the rto_start_trylock() and rto_start_unlock() helper
functions.

push to the source CPU. The IPIs stop when all overloaded CPUs that have pushable
tasks that have priorities greater than the source CPU are covered. In case the
source CPU lowers its priority again, a flag is set to tell the IPI traversal to
restart with the first RT overloaded CPU after the source CPU.

sched/rt: Simplify the IPI based RT balancing logic
When a CPU lowers its priority (schedules out a high priority task for a
lower priority one), a check is made to see if any other CPU has overloaded
RT tasks (more than one). It checks the rto_mask to determine this and if so
it will request to pull one of those tasks to itself if the non running RT
task is of higher priority than the new priority of the next task to run on
the current CPU.
When we deal with large number of CPUs, the original pull logic suffered
from large lock contention on a single CPU run queue, which caused a huge
latency across all CPUs. This was caused by only having one CPU having
overloaded RT tasks and a bunch of other CPUs lowering their priority. To
solve this issue, commit:
b6366f048e0c ("sched/rt: Use IPI to trigger RT task push migration instead of pulling")
changed the way to request a pull. Instead of grabbing the lock of the
overloaded CPU's runqueue, it simply sent an IPI to that CPU to do the work.
Although the IPI logic worked very well in removing the large latency build
up, it still could suffer from a large number of IPIs being sent to a single
CPU. On a 80 CPU box, I measured over 200us of processing IPIs. Worse yet,
when I tested this on a 120 CPU box, with a stress test that had lots of
RT tasks scheduling on all CPUs, it actually triggered the hard lockup
detector! One CPU had so many IPIs sent to it, and due to the restart
mechanism that is triggered when the source run queue has a priority status
change, the CPU spent minutes! processing the IPIs.
Thinking about this further, I realized there's no reason for each run queue
to send its own IPI. As all CPUs with overloaded tasks must be scanned
regardless if there's one or many CPUs lowering their priority, because
there's no current way to find the CPU with the highest priority task that
can schedule to one of these CPUs, there really only needs to be one IPI
being sent around at a time.
This greatly simplifies the code!
The new approach is to have each root domain have its own irq work, as the
rto_mask is per root domain. The root domain has the following fields
attached to it:
rto_push_work - the irq work to process each CPU set in rto_mask
rto_lock - the lock to protect some of the other rto fields
rto_loop_start - an atomic that keeps contention down on rto_lock
the first CPU scheduling in a lower priority task
is the one to kick off the process.
rto_loop_next - an atomic that gets incremented for each CPU that
schedules in a lower priority task.
rto_loop - a variable protected by rto_lock that is used to
compare against rto_loop_next
rto_cpu - The cpu to send the next IPI to, also protected by
the rto_lock.
When a CPU schedules in a lower priority task and wants to make sure
overloaded CPUs know about it. It increments the rto_loop_next. Then it
atomically sets rto_loop_start with a cmpxchg. If the old value is not "0",
then it is done, as another CPU is kicking off the IPI loop. If the old
value is "0", then it will take the rto_lock to synchronize with a possible
IPI being sent around to the overloaded CPUs.
If rto_cpu is greater than or equal to nr_cpu_ids, then there's either no
IPI being sent around, or one is about to finish. Then rto_cpu is set to the
first CPU in rto_mask and an IPI is sent to that CPU. If there's no CPUs set
in rto_mask, then there's nothing to be done.
When the CPU receives the IPI, it will first try to push any RT tasks that is
queued on the CPU but can't run because a higher priority RT task is
currently running on that CPU.
Then it takes the rto_lock and looks for the next CPU in the rto_mask. If it
finds one, it simply sends an IPI to that CPU and the process continues.
If there's no more CPUs in the rto_mask, then rto_loop is compared with
rto_loop_next. If they match, everything is done and the process is over. If
they do not match, then a CPU scheduled in a lower priority task as the IPI
was being passed around, and the process needs to start again. The first CPU
in rto_mask is sent the IPI.
This change removes this duplication of work in the IPI logic, and greatly
lowers the latency caused by the IPIs. This removed the lockup happening on
the 120 CPU machine. It also simplifies the code tremendously. What else
could anyone ask for?
Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for simplifying the rto_loop_start atomic logic and
supplying me with the rto_start_trylock() and rto_start_unlock() helper
functions.

|
|
|

|

|
|

|
|
|

|

|
|
|
|
* Each root domain has its own irq work function that can iterate over

|
|

|
*
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|

sched/rt: Use IPI to trigger RT task push migration instead of pulling
When debugging the latencies on a 40 core box, where we hit 300 to
500 microsecond latencies, I found there was a huge contention on the
runqueue locks.
Investigating it further, running ftrace, I found that it was due to
the pulling of RT tasks.
The test that was run was the following:
cyclictest --numa -p95 -m -d0 -i100
This created a thread on each CPU, that would set its wakeup in iterations
of 100 microseconds. The -d0 means that all the threads had the same
interval (100us). Each thread sleeps for 100us and wakes up and measures
its latencies.
cyclictest is maintained at:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/clrkwllms/rt-tests.git
What happened was another RT task would be scheduled on one of the CPUs
that was running our test, when the other CPU tests went to sleep and
scheduled idle. This caused the "pull" operation to execute on all
these CPUs. Each one of these saw the RT task that was overloaded on
the CPU of the test that was still running, and each one tried
to grab that task in a thundering herd way.
To grab the task, each thread would do a double rq lock grab, grabbing
its own lock as well as the rq of the overloaded CPU. As the sched
domains on this box was rather flat for its size, I saw up to 12 CPUs
block on this lock at once. This caused a ripple affect with the
rq locks especially since the taking was done via a double rq lock, which
means that several of the CPUs had their own rq locks held while trying
to take this rq lock. As these locks were blocked, any wakeups or load
balanceing on these CPUs would also block on these locks, and the wait
time escalated.
I've tried various methods to lessen the load, but things like an
atomic counter to only let one CPU grab the task wont work, because
the task may have a limited affinity, and we may pick the wrong
CPU to take that lock and do the pull, to only find out that the
CPU we picked isn't in the task's affinity.
Instead of doing the PULL, I now have the CPUs that want the pull to
send over an IPI to the overloaded CPU, and let that CPU pick what
CPU to push the task to. No more need to grab the rq lock, and the
push/pull algorithm still works fine.
With this patch, the latency dropped to just 150us over a 20 hour run.
Without the patch, the huge latencies would trigger in seconds.
I've created a new sched feature called RT_PUSH_IPI, which is enabled
by default.
When RT_PUSH_IPI is not enabled, the old method of grabbing the rq locks
and having the pulling CPU do the work is implemented. When RT_PUSH_IPI
is enabled, the IPI is sent to the overloaded CPU to do a push.
To enabled or disable this at run time:
# mount -t debugfs nodev /sys/kernel/debug
# echo RT_PUSH_IPI > /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features
or
# echo NO_RT_PUSH_IPI > /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features
Update: This original patch would send an IPI to all CPUs in the RT overload
list. But that could theoretically cause the reverse issue. That is, there
could be lots of overloaded RT queues and one CPU lowers its priority. It would
then send an IPI to all the overloaded RT queues and they could then all try
to grab the rq lock of the CPU lowering its priority, and then we have the
same problem.
The latest design sends out only one IPI to the first overloaded CPU. It tries to
push any tasks that it can, and then looks for the next overloaded CPU that can
push to the source CPU. The IPIs stop when all overloaded CPUs that have pushable
tasks that have priorities greater than the source CPU are covered. In case the
source CPU lowers its priority again, a flag is set to tell the IPI traversal to
restart with the first RT overloaded CPU after the source CPU.

sched/rt: Simplify the IPI based RT balancing logic
When a CPU lowers its priority (schedules out a high priority task for a
lower priority one), a check is made to see if any other CPU has overloaded
RT tasks (more than one). It checks the rto_mask to determine this and if so
it will request to pull one of those tasks to itself if the non running RT
task is of higher priority than the new priority of the next task to run on
the current CPU.
When we deal with large number of CPUs, the original pull logic suffered
from large lock contention on a single CPU run queue, which caused a huge
latency across all CPUs. This was caused by only having one CPU having
overloaded RT tasks and a bunch of other CPUs lowering their priority. To
solve this issue, commit:
b6366f048e0c ("sched/rt: Use IPI to trigger RT task push migration instead of pulling")
changed the way to request a pull. Instead of grabbing the lock of the
overloaded CPU's runqueue, it simply sent an IPI to that CPU to do the work.
Although the IPI logic worked very well in removing the large latency build
up, it still could suffer from a large number of IPIs being sent to a single
CPU. On a 80 CPU box, I measured over 200us of processing IPIs. Worse yet,
when I tested this on a 120 CPU box, with a stress test that had lots of
RT tasks scheduling on all CPUs, it actually triggered the hard lockup
detector! One CPU had so many IPIs sent to it, and due to the restart
mechanism that is triggered when the source run queue has a priority status
change, the CPU spent minutes! processing the IPIs.
Thinking about this further, I realized there's no reason for each run queue
to send its own IPI. As all CPUs with overloaded tasks must be scanned
regardless if there's one or many CPUs lowering their priority, because
there's no current way to find the CPU with the highest priority task that
can schedule to one of these CPUs, there really only needs to be one IPI
being sent around at a time.
This greatly simplifies the code!
The new approach is to have each root domain have its own irq work, as the
rto_mask is per root domain. The root domain has the following fields
attached to it:
rto_push_work - the irq work to process each CPU set in rto_mask
rto_lock - the lock to protect some of the other rto fields
rto_loop_start - an atomic that keeps contention down on rto_lock
the first CPU scheduling in a lower priority task
is the one to kick off the process.
rto_loop_next - an atomic that gets incremented for each CPU that
schedules in a lower priority task.
rto_loop - a variable protected by rto_lock that is used to
compare against rto_loop_next
rto_cpu - The cpu to send the next IPI to, also protected by
the rto_lock.
When a CPU schedules in a lower priority task and wants to make sure
overloaded CPUs know about it. It increments the rto_loop_next. Then it
atomically sets rto_loop_start with a cmpxchg. If the old value is not "0",
then it is done, as another CPU is kicking off the IPI loop. If the old
value is "0", then it will take the rto_lock to synchronize with a possible
IPI being sent around to the overloaded CPUs.
If rto_cpu is greater than or equal to nr_cpu_ids, then there's either no
IPI being sent around, or one is about to finish. Then rto_cpu is set to the
first CPU in rto_mask and an IPI is sent to that CPU. If there's no CPUs set
in rto_mask, then there's nothing to be done.
When the CPU receives the IPI, it will first try to push any RT tasks that is
queued on the CPU but can't run because a higher priority RT task is
currently running on that CPU.
Then it takes the rto_lock and looks for the next CPU in the rto_mask. If it
finds one, it simply sends an IPI to that CPU and the process continues.
If there's no more CPUs in the rto_mask, then rto_loop is compared with
rto_loop_next. If they match, everything is done and the process is over. If
they do not match, then a CPU scheduled in a lower priority task as the IPI
was being passed around, and the process needs to start again. The first CPU
in rto_mask is sent the IPI.
This change removes this duplication of work in the IPI logic, and greatly
lowers the latency caused by the IPIs. This removed the lockup happening on
the 120 CPU machine. It also simplifies the code tremendously. What else
could anyone ask for?
Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for simplifying the rto_loop_start atomic logic and
supplying me with the rto_start_trylock() and rto_start_unlock() helper
functions.

sched: Clean up and harmonize the coding style of the scheduler code base
A good number of small style inconsistencies have accumulated
in the scheduler core, so do a pass over them to harmonize
all these details:
- fix speling in comments,
- use curly braces for multi-line statements,
- remove unnecessary parentheses from integer literals,
- capitalize consistently,
- remove stray newlines,
- add comments where necessary,
- remove invalid/unnecessary comments,
- align structure definitions and other data types vertically,
- add missing newlines for increased readability,
- fix vertical tabulation where it's misaligned,
- harmonize preprocessor conditional block labeling
and vertical alignment,
- remove line-breaks where they uglify the code,
- add newline after local variable definitions,
No change in functionality:

sched/rt: Use IPI to trigger RT task push migration instead of pulling
When debugging the latencies on a 40 core box, where we hit 300 to
500 microsecond latencies, I found there was a huge contention on the
runqueue locks.
Investigating it further, running ftrace, I found that it was due to
the pulling of RT tasks.
The test that was run was the following:
cyclictest --numa -p95 -m -d0 -i100
This created a thread on each CPU, that would set its wakeup in iterations
of 100 microseconds. The -d0 means that all the threads had the same
interval (100us). Each thread sleeps for 100us and wakes up and measures
its latencies.
cyclictest is maintained at:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/clrkwllms/rt-tests.git
What happened was another RT task would be scheduled on one of the CPUs
that was running our test, when the other CPU tests went to sleep and
scheduled idle. This caused the "pull" operation to execute on all
these CPUs. Each one of these saw the RT task that was overloaded on
the CPU of the test that was still running, and each one tried
to grab that task in a thundering herd way.
To grab the task, each thread would do a double rq lock grab, grabbing
its own lock as well as the rq of the overloaded CPU. As the sched
domains on this box was rather flat for its size, I saw up to 12 CPUs
block on this lock at once. This caused a ripple affect with the
rq locks especially since the taking was done via a double rq lock, which
means that several of the CPUs had their own rq locks held while trying
to take this rq lock. As these locks were blocked, any wakeups or load
balanceing on these CPUs would also block on these locks, and the wait
time escalated.
I've tried various methods to lessen the load, but things like an
atomic counter to only let one CPU grab the task wont work, because
the task may have a limited affinity, and we may pick the wrong
CPU to take that lock and do the pull, to only find out that the
CPU we picked isn't in the task's affinity.
Instead of doing the PULL, I now have the CPUs that want the pull to
send over an IPI to the overloaded CPU, and let that CPU pick what
CPU to push the task to. No more need to grab the rq lock, and the
push/pull algorithm still works fine.
With this patch, the latency dropped to just 150us over a 20 hour run.
Without the patch, the huge latencies would trigger in seconds.
I've created a new sched feature called RT_PUSH_IPI, which is enabled
by default.
When RT_PUSH_IPI is not enabled, the old method of grabbing the rq locks
and having the pulling CPU do the work is implemented. When RT_PUSH_IPI
is enabled, the IPI is sent to the overloaded CPU to do a push.
To enabled or disable this at run time:
# mount -t debugfs nodev /sys/kernel/debug
# echo RT_PUSH_IPI > /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features
or
# echo NO_RT_PUSH_IPI > /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features
Update: This original patch would send an IPI to all CPUs in the RT overload
list. But that could theoretically cause the reverse issue. That is, there
could be lots of overloaded RT queues and one CPU lowers its priority. It would
then send an IPI to all the overloaded RT queues and they could then all try
to grab the rq lock of the CPU lowering its priority, and then we have the
same problem.
The latest design sends out only one IPI to the first overloaded CPU. It tries to
push any tasks that it can, and then looks for the next overloaded CPU that can
push to the source CPU. The IPIs stop when all overloaded CPUs that have pushable
tasks that have priorities greater than the source CPU are covered. In case the
source CPU lowers its priority again, a flag is set to tell the IPI traversal to
restart with the first RT overloaded CPU after the source CPU.

latency across all CPUs. This was caused by only having one CPU having
overloaded RT tasks and a bunch of other CPUs lowering their priority. To
solve this issue, commit:
b6366f048e0c ("sched/rt: Use IPI to trigger RT task push migration instead of pulling")
changed the way to request a pull. Instead of grabbing the lock of the
overloaded CPU's runqueue, it simply sent an IPI to that CPU to do the work.
Although the IPI logic worked very well in removing the large latency build
up, it still could suffer from a large number of IPIs being sent to a single
CPU. On a 80 CPU box, I measured over 200us of processing IPIs. Worse yet,
when I tested this on a 120 CPU box, with a stress test that had lots of
RT tasks scheduling on all CPUs, it actually triggered the hard lockup
detector! One CPU had so many IPIs sent to it, and due to the restart
mechanism that is triggered when the source run queue has a priority status
change, the CPU spent minutes! processing the IPIs.
Thinking about this further, I realized there's no reason for each run queue
to send its own IPI. As all CPUs with overloaded tasks must be scanned
regardless if there's one or many CPUs lowering their priority, because
there's no current way to find the CPU with the highest priority task that
can schedule to one of these CPUs, there really only needs to be one IPI
being sent around at a time.
This greatly simplifies the code!
The new approach is to have each root domain have its own irq work, as the
rto_mask is per root domain. The root domain has the following fields
attached to it:
rto_push_work - the irq work to process each CPU set in rto_mask
rto_lock - the lock to protect some of the other rto fields
rto_loop_start - an atomic that keeps contention down on rto_lock
the first CPU scheduling in a lower priority task
is the one to kick off the process.
rto_loop_next - an atomic that gets incremented for each CPU that
schedules in a lower priority task.
rto_loop - a variable protected by rto_lock that is used to
compare against rto_loop_next
rto_cpu - The cpu to send the next IPI to, also protected by
the rto_lock.
When a CPU schedules in a lower priority task and wants to make sure
overloaded CPUs know about it. It increments the rto_loop_next. Then it
atomically sets rto_loop_start with a cmpxchg. If the old value is not "0",
then it is done, as another CPU is kicking off the IPI loop. If the old
value is "0", then it will take the rto_lock to synchronize with a possible
IPI being sent around to the overloaded CPUs.
If rto_cpu is greater than or equal to nr_cpu_ids, then there's either no
IPI being sent around, or one is about to finish. Then rto_cpu is set to the
first CPU in rto_mask and an IPI is sent to that CPU. If there's no CPUs set
in rto_mask, then there's nothing to be done.
When the CPU receives the IPI, it will first try to push any RT tasks that is
queued on the CPU but can't run because a higher priority RT task is
currently running on that CPU.
Then it takes the rto_lock and looks for the next CPU in the rto_mask. If it
finds one, it simply sends an IPI to that CPU and the process continues.
If there's no more CPUs in the rto_mask, then rto_loop is compared with
rto_loop_next. If they match, everything is done and the process is over. If
they do not match, then a CPU scheduled in a lower priority task as the IPI
was being passed around, and the process needs to start again. The first CPU
in rto_mask is sent the IPI.
This change removes this duplication of work in the IPI logic, and greatly
lowers the latency caused by the IPIs. This removed the lockup happening on
the 120 CPU machine. It also simplifies the code tremendously. What else
could anyone ask for?
Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for simplifying the rto_loop_start atomic logic and
supplying me with the rto_start_trylock() and rto_start_unlock() helper
functions.

sched/rt: Use IPI to trigger RT task push migration instead of pulling
When debugging the latencies on a 40 core box, where we hit 300 to
500 microsecond latencies, I found there was a huge contention on the
runqueue locks.
Investigating it further, running ftrace, I found that it was due to
the pulling of RT tasks.
The test that was run was the following:
cyclictest --numa -p95 -m -d0 -i100
This created a thread on each CPU, that would set its wakeup in iterations
of 100 microseconds. The -d0 means that all the threads had the same
interval (100us). Each thread sleeps for 100us and wakes up and measures
its latencies.
cyclictest is maintained at:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/clrkwllms/rt-tests.git
What happened was another RT task would be scheduled on one of the CPUs
that was running our test, when the other CPU tests went to sleep and
scheduled idle. This caused the "pull" operation to execute on all
these CPUs. Each one of these saw the RT task that was overloaded on
the CPU of the test that was still running, and each one tried
to grab that task in a thundering herd way.
To grab the task, each thread would do a double rq lock grab, grabbing
its own lock as well as the rq of the overloaded CPU. As the sched
domains on this box was rather flat for its size, I saw up to 12 CPUs
block on this lock at once. This caused a ripple affect with the
rq locks especially since the taking was done via a double rq lock, which
means that several of the CPUs had their own rq locks held while trying
to take this rq lock. As these locks were blocked, any wakeups or load
balanceing on these CPUs would also block on these locks, and the wait
time escalated.
I've tried various methods to lessen the load, but things like an
atomic counter to only let one CPU grab the task wont work, because
the task may have a limited affinity, and we may pick the wrong
CPU to take that lock and do the pull, to only find out that the
CPU we picked isn't in the task's affinity.
Instead of doing the PULL, I now have the CPUs that want the pull to
send over an IPI to the overloaded CPU, and let that CPU pick what
CPU to push the task to. No more need to grab the rq lock, and the
push/pull algorithm still works fine.
With this patch, the latency dropped to just 150us over a 20 hour run.
Without the patch, the huge latencies would trigger in seconds.
I've created a new sched feature called RT_PUSH_IPI, which is enabled
by default.
When RT_PUSH_IPI is not enabled, the old method of grabbing the rq locks
and having the pulling CPU do the work is implemented. When RT_PUSH_IPI
is enabled, the IPI is sent to the overloaded CPU to do a push.
To enabled or disable this at run time:
# mount -t debugfs nodev /sys/kernel/debug
# echo RT_PUSH_IPI > /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features
or
# echo NO_RT_PUSH_IPI > /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features
Update: This original patch would send an IPI to all CPUs in the RT overload
list. But that could theoretically cause the reverse issue. That is, there
could be lots of overloaded RT queues and one CPU lowers its priority. It would
then send an IPI to all the overloaded RT queues and they could then all try
to grab the rq lock of the CPU lowering its priority, and then we have the
same problem.
The latest design sends out only one IPI to the first overloaded CPU. It tries to
push any tasks that it can, and then looks for the next overloaded CPU that can
push to the source CPU. The IPIs stop when all overloaded CPUs that have pushable
tasks that have priorities greater than the source CPU are covered. In case the
source CPU lowers its priority again, a flag is set to tell the IPI traversal to
restart with the first RT overloaded CPU after the source CPU.

sched/rt: Simplify the IPI based RT balancing logic
When a CPU lowers its priority (schedules out a high priority task for a
lower priority one), a check is made to see if any other CPU has overloaded
RT tasks (more than one). It checks the rto_mask to determine this and if so
it will request to pull one of those tasks to itself if the non running RT
task is of higher priority than the new priority of the next task to run on
the current CPU.

from large lock contention on a single CPU run queue, which caused a huge

sched/rt: Simplify the IPI based RT balancing logic
When a CPU lowers its priority (schedules out a high priority task for a
lower priority one), a check is made to see if any other CPU has overloaded
RT tasks (more than one). It checks the rto_mask to determine this and if so
it will request to pull one of those tasks to itself if the non running RT
task is of higher priority than the new priority of the next task to run on
the current CPU.
When we deal with large number of CPUs, the original pull logic suffered
from large lock contention on a single CPU run queue, which caused a huge
latency across all CPUs. This was caused by only having one CPU having
overloaded RT tasks and a bunch of other CPUs lowering their priority. To
solve this issue, commit:
b6366f048e0c ("sched/rt: Use IPI to trigger RT task push migration instead of pulling")
changed the way to request a pull. Instead of grabbing the lock of the
overloaded CPU's runqueue, it simply sent an IPI to that CPU to do the work.
Although the IPI logic worked very well in removing the large latency build
up, it still could suffer from a large number of IPIs being sent to a single
CPU. On a 80 CPU box, I measured over 200us of processing IPIs. Worse yet,
when I tested this on a 120 CPU box, with a stress test that had lots of
RT tasks scheduling on all CPUs, it actually triggered the hard lockup
detector! One CPU had so many IPIs sent to it, and due to the restart
mechanism that is triggered when the source run queue has a priority status
change, the CPU spent minutes! processing the IPIs.
Thinking about this further, I realized there's no reason for each run queue
to send its own IPI. As all CPUs with overloaded tasks must be scanned
regardless if there's one or many CPUs lowering their priority, because
there's no current way to find the CPU with the highest priority task that
can schedule to one of these CPUs, there really only needs to be one IPI
being sent around at a time.
This greatly simplifies the code!
The new approach is to have each root domain have its own irq work, as the
rto_mask is per root domain. The root domain has the following fields
attached to it:
rto_push_work - the irq work to process each CPU set in rto_mask
rto_lock - the lock to protect some of the other rto fields
rto_loop_start - an atomic that keeps contention down on rto_lock
the first CPU scheduling in a lower priority task
is the one to kick off the process.
rto_loop_next - an atomic that gets incremented for each CPU that
schedules in a lower priority task.
rto_loop - a variable protected by rto_lock that is used to
compare against rto_loop_next
rto_cpu - The cpu to send the next IPI to, also protected by
the rto_lock.
When a CPU schedules in a lower priority task and wants to make sure
overloaded CPUs know about it. It increments the rto_loop_next. Then it
atomically sets rto_loop_start with a cmpxchg. If the old value is not "0",
then it is done, as another CPU is kicking off the IPI loop. If the old
value is "0", then it will take the rto_lock to synchronize with a possible
IPI being sent around to the overloaded CPUs.
If rto_cpu is greater than or equal to nr_cpu_ids, then there's either no
IPI being sent around, or one is about to finish. Then rto_cpu is set to the
first CPU in rto_mask and an IPI is sent to that CPU. If there's no CPUs set
in rto_mask, then there's nothing to be done.
When the CPU receives the IPI, it will first try to push any RT tasks that is
queued on the CPU but can't run because a higher priority RT task is
currently running on that CPU.
Then it takes the rto_lock and looks for the next CPU in the rto_mask. If it
finds one, it simply sends an IPI to that CPU and the process continues.
If there's no more CPUs in the rto_mask, then rto_loop is compared with
rto_loop_next. If they match, everything is done and the process is over. If
they do not match, then a CPU scheduled in a lower priority task as the IPI
was being passed around, and the process needs to start again. The first CPU
in rto_mask is sent the IPI.
This change removes this duplication of work in the IPI logic, and greatly
lowers the latency caused by the IPIs. This removed the lockup happening on
the 120 CPU machine. It also simplifies the code tremendously. What else
could anyone ask for?
Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for simplifying the rto_loop_start atomic logic and
supplying me with the rto_start_trylock() and rto_start_unlock() helper
functions.

sched/rt: Use IPI to trigger RT task push migration instead of pulling
When debugging the latencies on a 40 core box, where we hit 300 to
500 microsecond latencies, I found there was a huge contention on the
runqueue locks.
Investigating it further, running ftrace, I found that it was due to
the pulling of RT tasks.
The test that was run was the following:
cyclictest --numa -p95 -m -d0 -i100
This created a thread on each CPU, that would set its wakeup in iterations
of 100 microseconds. The -d0 means that all the threads had the same
interval (100us). Each thread sleeps for 100us and wakes up and measures
its latencies.
cyclictest is maintained at:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/clrkwllms/rt-tests.git
What happened was another RT task would be scheduled on one of the CPUs
that was running our test, when the other CPU tests went to sleep and
scheduled idle. This caused the "pull" operation to execute on all
these CPUs. Each one of these saw the RT task that was overloaded on
the CPU of the test that was still running, and each one tried
to grab that task in a thundering herd way.
To grab the task, each thread would do a double rq lock grab, grabbing
its own lock as well as the rq of the overloaded CPU. As the sched
domains on this box was rather flat for its size, I saw up to 12 CPUs
block on this lock at once. This caused a ripple affect with the
rq locks especially since the taking was done via a double rq lock, which
means that several of the CPUs had their own rq locks held while trying
to take this rq lock. As these locks were blocked, any wakeups or load
balanceing on these CPUs would also block on these locks, and the wait
time escalated.
I've tried various methods to lessen the load, but things like an
atomic counter to only let one CPU grab the task wont work, because
the task may have a limited affinity, and we may pick the wrong
CPU to take that lock and do the pull, to only find out that the
CPU we picked isn't in the task's affinity.
Instead of doing the PULL, I now have the CPUs that want the pull to
send over an IPI to the overloaded CPU, and let that CPU pick what
CPU to push the task to. No more need to grab the rq lock, and the
push/pull algorithm still works fine.
With this patch, the latency dropped to just 150us over a 20 hour run.
Without the patch, the huge latencies would trigger in seconds.
I've created a new sched feature called RT_PUSH_IPI, which is enabled
by default.
When RT_PUSH_IPI is not enabled, the old method of grabbing the rq locks
and having the pulling CPU do the work is implemented. When RT_PUSH_IPI
is enabled, the IPI is sent to the overloaded CPU to do a push.
To enabled or disable this at run time:
# mount -t debugfs nodev /sys/kernel/debug
# echo RT_PUSH_IPI > /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features
or
# echo NO_RT_PUSH_IPI > /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features
Update: This original patch would send an IPI to all CPUs in the RT overload
list. But that could theoretically cause the reverse issue. That is, there
could be lots of overloaded RT queues and one CPU lowers its priority. It would
then send an IPI to all the overloaded RT queues and they could then all try
to grab the rq lock of the CPU lowering its priority, and then we have the
same problem.
The latest design sends out only one IPI to the first overloaded CPU. It tries to
push any tasks that it can, and then looks for the next overloaded CPU that can
push to the source CPU. The IPIs stop when all overloaded CPUs that have pushable
tasks that have priorities greater than the source CPU are covered. In case the
source CPU lowers its priority again, a flag is set to tell the IPI traversal to
restart with the first RT overloaded CPU after the source CPU.

With this patch, the latency dropped to just 150us over a 20 hour run.
Without the patch, the huge latencies would trigger in seconds.
I've created a new sched feature called RT_PUSH_IPI, which is enabled
by default.
When RT_PUSH_IPI is not enabled, the old method of grabbing the rq locks
and having the pulling CPU do the work is implemented. When RT_PUSH_IPI
is enabled, the IPI is sent to the overloaded CPU to do a push.
To enabled or disable this at run time:
# mount -t debugfs nodev /sys/kernel/debug
# echo RT_PUSH_IPI > /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features
or
# echo NO_RT_PUSH_IPI > /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features
Update: This original patch would send an IPI to all CPUs in the RT overload
list. But that could theoretically cause the reverse issue. That is, there
could be lots of overloaded RT queues and one CPU lowers its priority. It would
then send an IPI to all the overloaded RT queues and they could then all try
to grab the rq lock of the CPU lowering its priority, and then we have the
same problem.
The latest design sends out only one IPI to the first overloaded CPU. It tries to
push any tasks that it can, and then looks for the next overloaded CPU that can
push to the source CPU. The IPIs stop when all overloaded CPUs that have pushable
tasks that have priorities greater than the source CPU are covered. In case the
source CPU lowers its priority again, a flag is set to tell the IPI traversal to
restart with the first RT overloaded CPU after the source CPU.

sched/rt: Simplify the IPI based RT balancing logic
When a CPU lowers its priority (schedules out a high priority task for a
lower priority one), a check is made to see if any other CPU has overloaded
RT tasks (more than one). It checks the rto_mask to determine this and if so
it will request to pull one of those tasks to itself if the non running RT
task is of higher priority than the new priority of the next task to run on
the current CPU.
When we deal with large number of CPUs, the original pull logic suffered
from large lock contention on a single CPU run queue, which caused a huge
latency across all CPUs. This was caused by only having one CPU having
overloaded RT tasks and a bunch of other CPUs lowering their priority. To
solve this issue, commit:
b6366f048e0c ("sched/rt: Use IPI to trigger RT task push migration instead of pulling")
changed the way to request a pull. Instead of grabbing the lock of the
overloaded CPU's runqueue, it simply sent an IPI to that CPU to do the work.
Although the IPI logic worked very well in removing the large latency build
up, it still could suffer from a large number of IPIs being sent to a single
CPU. On a 80 CPU box, I measured over 200us of processing IPIs. Worse yet,
when I tested this on a 120 CPU box, with a stress test that had lots of
RT tasks scheduling on all CPUs, it actually triggered the hard lockup
detector! One CPU had so many IPIs sent to it, and due to the restart
mechanism that is triggered when the source run queue has a priority status
change, the CPU spent minutes! processing the IPIs.
Thinking about this further, I realized there's no reason for each run queue
to send its own IPI. As all CPUs with overloaded tasks must be scanned
regardless if there's one or many CPUs lowering their priority, because
there's no current way to find the CPU with the highest priority task that
can schedule to one of these CPUs, there really only needs to be one IPI
being sent around at a time.
This greatly simplifies the code!
The new approach is to have each root domain have its own irq work, as the
rto_mask is per root domain. The root domain has the following fields
attached to it:
rto_push_work - the irq work to process each CPU set in rto_mask
rto_lock - the lock to protect some of the other rto fields
rto_loop_start - an atomic that keeps contention down on rto_lock
the first CPU scheduling in a lower priority task
is the one to kick off the process.
rto_loop_next - an atomic that gets incremented for each CPU that
schedules in a lower priority task.
rto_loop - a variable protected by rto_lock that is used to
compare against rto_loop_next
rto_cpu - The cpu to send the next IPI to, also protected by
the rto_lock.
When a CPU schedules in a lower priority task and wants to make sure
overloaded CPUs know about it. It increments the rto_loop_next. Then it
atomically sets rto_loop_start with a cmpxchg. If the old value is not "0",
then it is done, as another CPU is kicking off the IPI loop. If the old
value is "0", then it will take the rto_lock to synchronize with a possible
IPI being sent around to the overloaded CPUs.
If rto_cpu is greater than or equal to nr_cpu_ids, then there's either no
IPI being sent around, or one is about to finish. Then rto_cpu is set to the
first CPU in rto_mask and an IPI is sent to that CPU. If there's no CPUs set
in rto_mask, then there's nothing to be done.
When the CPU receives the IPI, it will first try to push any RT tasks that is
queued on the CPU but can't run because a higher priority RT task is
currently running on that CPU.
Then it takes the rto_lock and looks for the next CPU in the rto_mask. If it
finds one, it simply sends an IPI to that CPU and the process continues.
If there's no more CPUs in the rto_mask, then rto_loop is compared with
rto_loop_next. If they match, everything is done and the process is over. If
they do not match, then a CPU scheduled in a lower priority task as the IPI
was being passed around, and the process needs to start again. The first CPU
in rto_mask is sent the IPI.
This change removes this duplication of work in the IPI logic, and greatly
lowers the latency caused by the IPIs. This removed the lockup happening on
the 120 CPU machine. It also simplifies the code tremendously. What else
could anyone ask for?
Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for simplifying the rto_loop_start atomic logic and
supplying me with the rto_start_trylock() and rto_start_unlock() helper
functions.

sched/rt: Use IPI to trigger RT task push migration instead of pulling
When debugging the latencies on a 40 core box, where we hit 300 to
500 microsecond latencies, I found there was a huge contention on the
runqueue locks.
Investigating it further, running ftrace, I found that it was due to
the pulling of RT tasks.
The test that was run was the following:
cyclictest --numa -p95 -m -d0 -i100
This created a thread on each CPU, that would set its wakeup in iterations
of 100 microseconds. The -d0 means that all the threads had the same
interval (100us). Each thread sleeps for 100us and wakes up and measures
its latencies.
cyclictest is maintained at:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/clrkwllms/rt-tests.git
What happened was another RT task would be scheduled on one of the CPUs
that was running our test, when the other CPU tests went to sleep and
scheduled idle. This caused the "pull" operation to execute on all
these CPUs. Each one of these saw the RT task that was overloaded on
the CPU of the test that was still running, and each one tried
to grab that task in a thundering herd way.
To grab the task, each thread would do a double rq lock grab, grabbing
its own lock as well as the rq of the overloaded CPU. As the sched
domains on this box was rather flat for its size, I saw up to 12 CPUs
block on this lock at once. This caused a ripple affect with the
rq locks especially since the taking was done via a double rq lock, which
means that several of the CPUs had their own rq locks held while trying
to take this rq lock. As these locks were blocked, any wakeups or load
balanceing on these CPUs would also block on these locks, and the wait
time escalated.
I've tried various methods to lessen the load, but things like an
atomic counter to only let one CPU grab the task wont work, because
the task may have a limited affinity, and we may pick the wrong
CPU to take that lock and do the pull, to only find out that the
CPU we picked isn't in the task's affinity.
Instead of doing the PULL, I now have the CPUs that want the pull to
send over an IPI to the overloaded CPU, and let that CPU pick what
CPU to push the task to. No more need to grab the rq lock, and the
push/pull algorithm still works fine.
With this patch, the latency dropped to just 150us over a 20 hour run.
Without the patch, the huge latencies would trigger in seconds.

that was running our test, when the other CPU tests went to sleep and
scheduled idle. This caused the "pull" operation to execute on all
these CPUs. Each one of these saw the RT task that was overloaded on
the CPU of the test that was still running, and each one tried
to grab that task in a thundering herd way.
To grab the task, each thread would do a double rq lock grab, grabbing
its own lock as well as the rq of the overloaded CPU. As the sched
domains on this box was rather flat for its size, I saw up to 12 CPUs
block on this lock at once. This caused a ripple affect with the
rq locks especially since the taking was done via a double rq lock, which
means that several of the CPUs had their own rq locks held while trying
to take this rq lock. As these locks were blocked, any wakeups or load
balanceing on these CPUs would also block on these locks, and the wait
time escalated.
I've tried various methods to lessen the load, but things like an
atomic counter to only let one CPU grab the task wont work, because
the task may have a limited affinity, and we may pick the wrong
CPU to take that lock and do the pull, to only find out that the
CPU we picked isn't in the task's affinity.
Instead of doing the PULL, I now have the CPUs that want the pull to
send over an IPI to the overloaded CPU, and let that CPU pick what
CPU to push the task to. No more need to grab the rq lock, and the
push/pull algorithm still works fine.
With this patch, the latency dropped to just 150us over a 20 hour run.
Without the patch, the huge latencies would trigger in seconds.
I've created a new sched feature called RT_PUSH_IPI, which is enabled
by default.
When RT_PUSH_IPI is not enabled, the old method of grabbing the rq locks
and having the pulling CPU do the work is implemented. When RT_PUSH_IPI
is enabled, the IPI is sent to the overloaded CPU to do a push.
To enabled or disable this at run time:
# mount -t debugfs nodev /sys/kernel/debug
# echo RT_PUSH_IPI > /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features
or
# echo NO_RT_PUSH_IPI > /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features
Update: This original patch would send an IPI to all CPUs in the RT overload
list. But that could theoretically cause the reverse issue. That is, there
could be lots of overloaded RT queues and one CPU lowers its priority. It would
then send an IPI to all the overloaded RT queues and they could then all try
to grab the rq lock of the CPU lowering its priority, and then we have the
same problem.
The latest design sends out only one IPI to the first overloaded CPU. It tries to
push any tasks that it can, and then looks for the next overloaded CPU that can
push to the source CPU. The IPIs stop when all overloaded CPUs that have pushable
tasks that have priorities greater than the source CPU are covered. In case the
source CPU lowers its priority again, a flag is set to tell the IPI traversal to
restart with the first RT overloaded CPU after the source CPU.

sched/rt: Simplify the IPI based RT balancing logic
When a CPU lowers its priority (schedules out a high priority task for a
lower priority one), a check is made to see if any other CPU has overloaded
RT tasks (more than one). It checks the rto_mask to determine this and if so
it will request to pull one of those tasks to itself if the non running RT
task is of higher priority than the new priority of the next task to run on
the current CPU.
When we deal with large number of CPUs, the original pull logic suffered
from large lock contention on a single CPU run queue, which caused a huge
latency across all CPUs. This was caused by only having one CPU having
overloaded RT tasks and a bunch of other CPUs lowering their priority. To
solve this issue, commit:
b6366f048e0c ("sched/rt: Use IPI to trigger RT task push migration instead of pulling")
changed the way to request a pull. Instead of grabbing the lock of the
overloaded CPU's runqueue, it simply sent an IPI to that CPU to do the work.
Although the IPI logic worked very well in removing the large latency build
up, it still could suffer from a large number of IPIs being sent to a single
CPU. On a 80 CPU box, I measured over 200us of processing IPIs. Worse yet,
when I tested this on a 120 CPU box, with a stress test that had lots of
RT tasks scheduling on all CPUs, it actually triggered the hard lockup
detector! One CPU had so many IPIs sent to it, and due to the restart
mechanism that is triggered when the source run queue has a priority status
change, the CPU spent minutes! processing the IPIs.
Thinking about this further, I realized there's no reason for each run queue
to send its own IPI. As all CPUs with overloaded tasks must be scanned
regardless if there's one or many CPUs lowering their priority, because
there's no current way to find the CPU with the highest priority task that
can schedule to one of these CPUs, there really only needs to be one IPI
being sent around at a time.
This greatly simplifies the code!
The new approach is to have each root domain have its own irq work, as the
rto_mask is per root domain. The root domain has the following fields
attached to it:
rto_push_work - the irq work to process each CPU set in rto_mask
rto_lock - the lock to protect some of the other rto fields
rto_loop_start - an atomic that keeps contention down on rto_lock
the first CPU scheduling in a lower priority task
is the one to kick off the process.
rto_loop_next - an atomic that gets incremented for each CPU that
schedules in a lower priority task.
rto_loop - a variable protected by rto_lock that is used to
compare against rto_loop_next
rto_cpu - The cpu to send the next IPI to, also protected by
the rto_lock.
When a CPU schedules in a lower priority task and wants to make sure
overloaded CPUs know about it. It increments the rto_loop_next. Then it
atomically sets rto_loop_start with a cmpxchg. If the old value is not "0",
then it is done, as another CPU is kicking off the IPI loop. If the old
value is "0", then it will take the rto_lock to synchronize with a possible
IPI being sent around to the overloaded CPUs.
If rto_cpu is greater than or equal to nr_cpu_ids, then there's either no
IPI being sent around, or one is about to finish. Then rto_cpu is set to the
first CPU in rto_mask and an IPI is sent to that CPU. If there's no CPUs set
in rto_mask, then there's nothing to be done.
When the CPU receives the IPI, it will first try to push any RT tasks that is
queued on the CPU but can't run because a higher priority RT task is
currently running on that CPU.
Then it takes the rto_lock and looks for the next CPU in the rto_mask. If it
finds one, it simply sends an IPI to that CPU and the process continues.
If there's no more CPUs in the rto_mask, then rto_loop is compared with
rto_loop_next. If they match, everything is done and the process is over. If
they do not match, then a CPU scheduled in a lower priority task as the IPI
was being passed around, and the process needs to start again. The first CPU
in rto_mask is sent the IPI.
This change removes this duplication of work in the IPI logic, and greatly
lowers the latency caused by the IPIs. This removed the lockup happening on
the 120 CPU machine. It also simplifies the code tremendously. What else
could anyone ask for?
Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for simplifying the rto_loop_start atomic logic and
supplying me with the rto_start_trylock() and rto_start_unlock() helper
functions.

sched/rt: Use IPI to trigger RT task push migration instead of pulling
When debugging the latencies on a 40 core box, where we hit 300 to
500 microsecond latencies, I found there was a huge contention on the
runqueue locks.
Investigating it further, running ftrace, I found that it was due to
the pulling of RT tasks.
The test that was run was the following:
cyclictest --numa -p95 -m -d0 -i100
This created a thread on each CPU, that would set its wakeup in iterations
of 100 microseconds. The -d0 means that all the threads had the same
interval (100us). Each thread sleeps for 100us and wakes up and measures
its latencies.
cyclictest is maintained at:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/clrkwllms/rt-tests.git

sched/rt: Use IPI to trigger RT task push migration instead of pulling
When debugging the latencies on a 40 core box, where we hit 300 to
500 microsecond latencies, I found there was a huge contention on the
runqueue locks.
Investigating it further, running ftrace, I found that it was due to
the pulling of RT tasks.
The test that was run was the following:
cyclictest --numa -p95 -m -d0 -i100
This created a thread on each CPU, that would set its wakeup in iterations
of 100 microseconds. The -d0 means that all the threads had the same
interval (100us). Each thread sleeps for 100us and wakes up and measures
its latencies.
cyclictest is maintained at:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/clrkwllms/rt-tests.git
What happened was another RT task would be scheduled on one of the CPUs
that was running our test, when the other CPU tests went to sleep and
scheduled idle. This caused the "pull" operation to execute on all
these CPUs. Each one of these saw the RT task that was overloaded on
the CPU of the test that was still running, and each one tried
to grab that task in a thundering herd way.
To grab the task, each thread would do a double rq lock grab, grabbing
its own lock as well as the rq of the overloaded CPU. As the sched
domains on this box was rather flat for its size, I saw up to 12 CPUs
block on this lock at once. This caused a ripple affect with the
rq locks especially since the taking was done via a double rq lock, which
means that several of the CPUs had their own rq locks held while trying
to take this rq lock. As these locks were blocked, any wakeups or load
balanceing on these CPUs would also block on these locks, and the wait
time escalated.
I've tried various methods to lessen the load, but things like an
atomic counter to only let one CPU grab the task wont work, because
the task may have a limited affinity, and we may pick the wrong
CPU to take that lock and do the pull, to only find out that the
CPU we picked isn't in the task's affinity.
Instead of doing the PULL, I now have the CPUs that want the pull to
send over an IPI to the overloaded CPU, and let that CPU pick what
CPU to push the task to. No more need to grab the rq lock, and the
push/pull algorithm still works fine.
With this patch, the latency dropped to just 150us over a 20 hour run.
Without the patch, the huge latencies would trigger in seconds.
I've created a new sched feature called RT_PUSH_IPI, which is enabled
by default.
When RT_PUSH_IPI is not enabled, the old method of grabbing the rq locks
and having the pulling CPU do the work is implemented. When RT_PUSH_IPI
is enabled, the IPI is sent to the overloaded CPU to do a push.
To enabled or disable this at run time:
# mount -t debugfs nodev /sys/kernel/debug
# echo RT_PUSH_IPI > /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features
or
# echo NO_RT_PUSH_IPI > /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features
Update: This original patch would send an IPI to all CPUs in the RT overload
list. But that could theoretically cause the reverse issue. That is, there
could be lots of overloaded RT queues and one CPU lowers its priority. It would
then send an IPI to all the overloaded RT queues and they could then all try
to grab the rq lock of the CPU lowering its priority, and then we have the
same problem.
The latest design sends out only one IPI to the first overloaded CPU. It tries to
push any tasks that it can, and then looks for the next overloaded CPU that can
push to the source CPU. The IPIs stop when all overloaded CPUs that have pushable
tasks that have priorities greater than the source CPU are covered. In case the
source CPU lowers its priority again, a flag is set to tell the IPI traversal to
restart with the first RT overloaded CPU after the source CPU.

sched/rt: Simplify the IPI based RT balancing logic
When a CPU lowers its priority (schedules out a high priority task for a
lower priority one), a check is made to see if any other CPU has overloaded
RT tasks (more than one). It checks the rto_mask to determine this and if so
it will request to pull one of those tasks to itself if the non running RT
task is of higher priority than the new priority of the next task to run on
the current CPU.
When we deal with large number of CPUs, the original pull logic suffered
from large lock contention on a single CPU run queue, which caused a huge
latency across all CPUs. This was caused by only having one CPU having
overloaded RT tasks and a bunch of other CPUs lowering their priority. To
solve this issue, commit:
b6366f048e0c ("sched/rt: Use IPI to trigger RT task push migration instead of pulling")
changed the way to request a pull. Instead of grabbing the lock of the
overloaded CPU's runqueue, it simply sent an IPI to that CPU to do the work.
Although the IPI logic worked very well in removing the large latency build
up, it still could suffer from a large number of IPIs being sent to a single
CPU. On a 80 CPU box, I measured over 200us of processing IPIs. Worse yet,
when I tested this on a 120 CPU box, with a stress test that had lots of
RT tasks scheduling on all CPUs, it actually triggered the hard lockup
detector! One CPU had so many IPIs sent to it, and due to the restart
mechanism that is triggered when the source run queue has a priority status
change, the CPU spent minutes! processing the IPIs.
Thinking about this further, I realized there's no reason for each run queue
to send its own IPI. As all CPUs with overloaded tasks must be scanned
regardless if there's one or many CPUs lowering their priority, because
there's no current way to find the CPU with the highest priority task that
can schedule to one of these CPUs, there really only needs to be one IPI
being sent around at a time.
This greatly simplifies the code!
The new approach is to have each root domain have its own irq work, as the
rto_mask is per root domain. The root domain has the following fields
attached to it:
rto_push_work - the irq work to process each CPU set in rto_mask
rto_lock - the lock to protect some of the other rto fields
rto_loop_start - an atomic that keeps contention down on rto_lock
the first CPU scheduling in a lower priority task
is the one to kick off the process.
rto_loop_next - an atomic that gets incremented for each CPU that
schedules in a lower priority task.
rto_loop - a variable protected by rto_lock that is used to
compare against rto_loop_next
rto_cpu - The cpu to send the next IPI to, also protected by
the rto_lock.
When a CPU schedules in a lower priority task and wants to make sure
overloaded CPUs know about it. It increments the rto_loop_next. Then it
atomically sets rto_loop_start with a cmpxchg. If the old value is not "0",
then it is done, as another CPU is kicking off the IPI loop. If the old
value is "0", then it will take the rto_lock to synchronize with a possible
IPI being sent around to the overloaded CPUs.
If rto_cpu is greater than or equal to nr_cpu_ids, then there's either no
IPI being sent around, or one is about to finish. Then rto_cpu is set to the
first CPU in rto_mask and an IPI is sent to that CPU. If there's no CPUs set
in rto_mask, then there's nothing to be done.
When the CPU receives the IPI, it will first try to push any RT tasks that is
queued on the CPU but can't run because a higher priority RT task is
currently running on that CPU.
Then it takes the rto_lock and looks for the next CPU in the rto_mask. If it
finds one, it simply sends an IPI to that CPU and the process continues.
If there's no more CPUs in the rto_mask, then rto_loop is compared with
rto_loop_next. If they match, everything is done and the process is over. If
they do not match, then a CPU scheduled in a lower priority task as the IPI
was being passed around, and the process needs to start again. The first CPU
in rto_mask is sent the IPI.
This change removes this duplication of work in the IPI logic, and greatly
lowers the latency caused by the IPIs. This removed the lockup happening on
the 120 CPU machine. It also simplifies the code tremendously. What else
could anyone ask for?
Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for simplifying the rto_loop_start atomic logic and
supplying me with the rto_start_trylock() and rto_start_unlock() helper
functions.

rto_loop_next. If they match, everything is done and the process is over. If
they do not match, then a CPU scheduled in a lower priority task as the IPI
was being passed around, and the process needs to start again. The first CPU
in rto_mask is sent the IPI.
This change removes this duplication of work in the IPI logic, and greatly
lowers the latency caused by the IPIs. This removed the lockup happening on
the 120 CPU machine. It also simplifies the code tremendously. What else
could anyone ask for?
Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for simplifying the rto_loop_start atomic logic and
supplying me with the rto_start_trylock() and rto_start_unlock() helper
functions.

sched: Clean up and harmonize the coding style of the scheduler code base
A good number of small style inconsistencies have accumulated
in the scheduler core, so do a pass over them to harmonize
all these details:
- fix speling in comments,
- use curly braces for multi-line statements,
- remove unnecessary parentheses from integer literals,
- capitalize consistently,
- remove stray newlines,
- add comments where necessary,
- remove invalid/unnecessary comments,
- align structure definitions and other data types vertically,
- add missing newlines for increased readability,
- fix vertical tabulation where it's misaligned,
- harmonize preprocessor conditional block labeling
and vertical alignment,
- remove line-breaks where they uglify the code,
- add newline after local variable definitions,
No change in functionality:

sched/rt: Simplify the IPI based RT balancing logic
When a CPU lowers its priority (schedules out a high priority task for a
lower priority one), a check is made to see if any other CPU has overloaded
RT tasks (more than one). It checks the rto_mask to determine this and if so
it will request to pull one of those tasks to itself if the non running RT
task is of higher priority than the new priority of the next task to run on
the current CPU.
When we deal with large number of CPUs, the original pull logic suffered
from large lock contention on a single CPU run queue, which caused a huge
latency across all CPUs. This was caused by only having one CPU having
overloaded RT tasks and a bunch of other CPUs lowering their priority. To
solve this issue, commit:
b6366f048e0c ("sched/rt: Use IPI to trigger RT task push migration instead of pulling")
changed the way to request a pull. Instead of grabbing the lock of the
overloaded CPU's runqueue, it simply sent an IPI to that CPU to do the work.
Although the IPI logic worked very well in removing the large latency build
up, it still could suffer from a large number of IPIs being sent to a single
CPU. On a 80 CPU box, I measured over 200us of processing IPIs. Worse yet,
when I tested this on a 120 CPU box, with a stress test that had lots of
RT tasks scheduling on all CPUs, it actually triggered the hard lockup
detector! One CPU had so many IPIs sent to it, and due to the restart
mechanism that is triggered when the source run queue has a priority status
change, the CPU spent minutes! processing the IPIs.
Thinking about this further, I realized there's no reason for each run queue
to send its own IPI. As all CPUs with overloaded tasks must be scanned
regardless if there's one or many CPUs lowering their priority, because
there's no current way to find the CPU with the highest priority task that
can schedule to one of these CPUs, there really only needs to be one IPI
being sent around at a time.
This greatly simplifies the code!
The new approach is to have each root domain have its own irq work, as the
rto_mask is per root domain. The root domain has the following fields
attached to it:
rto_push_work - the irq work to process each CPU set in rto_mask
rto_lock - the lock to protect some of the other rto fields
rto_loop_start - an atomic that keeps contention down on rto_lock
the first CPU scheduling in a lower priority task
is the one to kick off the process.
rto_loop_next - an atomic that gets incremented for each CPU that
schedules in a lower priority task.
rto_loop - a variable protected by rto_lock that is used to
compare against rto_loop_next
rto_cpu - The cpu to send the next IPI to, also protected by
the rto_lock.
When a CPU schedules in a lower priority task and wants to make sure
overloaded CPUs know about it. It increments the rto_loop_next. Then it
atomically sets rto_loop_start with a cmpxchg. If the old value is not "0",
then it is done, as another CPU is kicking off the IPI loop. If the old
value is "0", then it will take the rto_lock to synchronize with a possible
IPI being sent around to the overloaded CPUs.
If rto_cpu is greater than or equal to nr_cpu_ids, then there's either no
IPI being sent around, or one is about to finish. Then rto_cpu is set to the
first CPU in rto_mask and an IPI is sent to that CPU. If there's no CPUs set
in rto_mask, then there's nothing to be done.
When the CPU receives the IPI, it will first try to push any RT tasks that is
queued on the CPU but can't run because a higher priority RT task is
currently running on that CPU.
Then it takes the rto_lock and looks for the next CPU in the rto_mask. If it
finds one, it simply sends an IPI to that CPU and the process continues.
If there's no more CPUs in the rto_mask, then rto_loop is compared with
rto_loop_next. If they match, everything is done and the process is over. If
they do not match, then a CPU scheduled in a lower priority task as the IPI

sched/rt: Use IPI to trigger RT task push migration instead of pulling
When debugging the latencies on a 40 core box, where we hit 300 to
500 microsecond latencies, I found there was a huge contention on the
runqueue locks.
Investigating it further, running ftrace, I found that it was due to
the pulling of RT tasks.
The test that was run was the following:
cyclictest --numa -p95 -m -d0 -i100
This created a thread on each CPU, that would set its wakeup in iterations
of 100 microseconds. The -d0 means that all the threads had the same
interval (100us). Each thread sleeps for 100us and wakes up and measures
its latencies.
cyclictest is maintained at:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/clrkwllms/rt-tests.git
What happened was another RT task would be scheduled on one of the CPUs
that was running our test, when the other CPU tests went to sleep and
scheduled idle. This caused the "pull" operation to execute on all
these CPUs. Each one of these saw the RT task that was overloaded on
the CPU of the test that was still running, and each one tried
to grab that task in a thundering herd way.
To grab the task, each thread would do a double rq lock grab, grabbing
its own lock as well as the rq of the overloaded CPU. As the sched
domains on this box was rather flat for its size, I saw up to 12 CPUs
block on this lock at once. This caused a ripple affect with the
rq locks especially since the taking was done via a double rq lock, which
means that several of the CPUs had their own rq locks held while trying
to take this rq lock. As these locks were blocked, any wakeups or load
balanceing on these CPUs would also block on these locks, and the wait
time escalated.
I've tried various methods to lessen the load, but things like an
atomic counter to only let one CPU grab the task wont work, because
the task may have a limited affinity, and we may pick the wrong
CPU to take that lock and do the pull, to only find out that the
CPU we picked isn't in the task's affinity.
Instead of doing the PULL, I now have the CPUs that want the pull to
send over an IPI to the overloaded CPU, and let that CPU pick what
CPU to push the task to. No more need to grab the rq lock, and the
push/pull algorithm still works fine.
With this patch, the latency dropped to just 150us over a 20 hour run.
Without the patch, the huge latencies would trigger in seconds.
I've created a new sched feature called RT_PUSH_IPI, which is enabled
by default.
When RT_PUSH_IPI is not enabled, the old method of grabbing the rq locks
and having the pulling CPU do the work is implemented. When RT_PUSH_IPI
is enabled, the IPI is sent to the overloaded CPU to do a push.
To enabled or disable this at run time:
# mount -t debugfs nodev /sys/kernel/debug
# echo RT_PUSH_IPI > /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features
or
# echo NO_RT_PUSH_IPI > /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features
Update: This original patch would send an IPI to all CPUs in the RT overload
list. But that could theoretically cause the reverse issue. That is, there
could be lots of overloaded RT queues and one CPU lowers its priority. It would
then send an IPI to all the overloaded RT queues and they could then all try
to grab the rq lock of the CPU lowering its priority, and then we have the
same problem.
The latest design sends out only one IPI to the first overloaded CPU. It tries to
push any tasks that it can, and then looks for the next overloaded CPU that can
push to the source CPU. The IPIs stop when all overloaded CPUs that have pushable
tasks that have priorities greater than the source CPU are covered. In case the
source CPU lowers its priority again, a flag is set to tell the IPI traversal to
restart with the first RT overloaded CPU after the source CPU.

queued on the CPU but can't run because a higher priority RT task is
currently running on that CPU.
Then it takes the rto_lock and looks for the next CPU in the rto_mask. If it
finds one, it simply sends an IPI to that CPU and the process continues.
If there's no more CPUs in the rto_mask, then rto_loop is compared with
rto_loop_next. If they match, everything is done and the process is over. If
they do not match, then a CPU scheduled in a lower priority task as the IPI
was being passed around, and the process needs to start again. The first CPU
in rto_mask is sent the IPI.
This change removes this duplication of work in the IPI logic, and greatly
lowers the latency caused by the IPIs. This removed the lockup happening on
the 120 CPU machine. It also simplifies the code tremendously. What else
could anyone ask for?
Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for simplifying the rto_loop_start atomic logic and
supplying me with the rto_start_trylock() and rto_start_unlock() helper
functions.

sched/rt: Use IPI to trigger RT task push migration instead of pulling
When debugging the latencies on a 40 core box, where we hit 300 to
500 microsecond latencies, I found there was a huge contention on the
runqueue locks.
Investigating it further, running ftrace, I found that it was due to
the pulling of RT tasks.
The test that was run was the following:
cyclictest --numa -p95 -m -d0 -i100
This created a thread on each CPU, that would set its wakeup in iterations
of 100 microseconds. The -d0 means that all the threads had the same
interval (100us). Each thread sleeps for 100us and wakes up and measures
its latencies.
cyclictest is maintained at:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/clrkwllms/rt-tests.git
What happened was another RT task would be scheduled on one of the CPUs
that was running our test, when the other CPU tests went to sleep and
scheduled idle. This caused the "pull" operation to execute on all
these CPUs. Each one of these saw the RT task that was overloaded on
the CPU of the test that was still running, and each one tried
to grab that task in a thundering herd way.
To grab the task, each thread would do a double rq lock grab, grabbing
its own lock as well as the rq of the overloaded CPU. As the sched
domains on this box was rather flat for its size, I saw up to 12 CPUs
block on this lock at once. This caused a ripple affect with the
rq locks especially since the taking was done via a double rq lock, which
means that several of the CPUs had their own rq locks held while trying
to take this rq lock. As these locks were blocked, any wakeups or load
balanceing on these CPUs would also block on these locks, and the wait
time escalated.
I've tried various methods to lessen the load, but things like an
atomic counter to only let one CPU grab the task wont work, because
the task may have a limited affinity, and we may pick the wrong
CPU to take that lock and do the pull, to only find out that the
CPU we picked isn't in the task's affinity.
Instead of doing the PULL, I now have the CPUs that want the pull to
send over an IPI to the overloaded CPU, and let that CPU pick what
CPU to push the task to. No more need to grab the rq lock, and the
push/pull algorithm still works fine.
With this patch, the latency dropped to just 150us over a 20 hour run.
Without the patch, the huge latencies would trigger in seconds.
I've created a new sched feature called RT_PUSH_IPI, which is enabled
by default.
When RT_PUSH_IPI is not enabled, the old method of grabbing the rq locks
and having the pulling CPU do the work is implemented. When RT_PUSH_IPI
is enabled, the IPI is sent to the overloaded CPU to do a push.
To enabled or disable this at run time:
# mount -t debugfs nodev /sys/kernel/debug
# echo RT_PUSH_IPI > /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features
or
# echo NO_RT_PUSH_IPI > /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features
Update: This original patch would send an IPI to all CPUs in the RT overload
list. But that could theoretically cause the reverse issue. That is, there
could be lots of overloaded RT queues and one CPU lowers its priority. It would
then send an IPI to all the overloaded RT queues and they could then all try
to grab the rq lock of the CPU lowering its priority, and then we have the
same problem.
The latest design sends out only one IPI to the first overloaded CPU. It tries to
push any tasks that it can, and then looks for the next overloaded CPU that can
push to the source CPU. The IPIs stop when all overloaded CPUs that have pushable
tasks that have priorities greater than the source CPU are covered. In case the
source CPU lowers its priority again, a flag is set to tell the IPI traversal to
restart with the first RT overloaded CPU after the source CPU.

sched/rt: Simplify the IPI based RT balancing logic
When a CPU lowers its priority (schedules out a high priority task for a
lower priority one), a check is made to see if any other CPU has overloaded
RT tasks (more than one). It checks the rto_mask to determine this and if so
it will request to pull one of those tasks to itself if the non running RT
task is of higher priority than the new priority of the next task to run on
the current CPU.
When we deal with large number of CPUs, the original pull logic suffered
from large lock contention on a single CPU run queue, which caused a huge
latency across all CPUs. This was caused by only having one CPU having
overloaded RT tasks and a bunch of other CPUs lowering their priority. To
solve this issue, commit:
b6366f048e0c ("sched/rt: Use IPI to trigger RT task push migration instead of pulling")
changed the way to request a pull. Instead of grabbing the lock of the
overloaded CPU's runqueue, it simply sent an IPI to that CPU to do the work.
Although the IPI logic worked very well in removing the large latency build
up, it still could suffer from a large number of IPIs being sent to a single
CPU. On a 80 CPU box, I measured over 200us of processing IPIs. Worse yet,
when I tested this on a 120 CPU box, with a stress test that had lots of
RT tasks scheduling on all CPUs, it actually triggered the hard lockup
detector! One CPU had so many IPIs sent to it, and due to the restart
mechanism that is triggered when the source run queue has a priority status
change, the CPU spent minutes! processing the IPIs.
Thinking about this further, I realized there's no reason for each run queue
to send its own IPI. As all CPUs with overloaded tasks must be scanned
regardless if there's one or many CPUs lowering their priority, because
there's no current way to find the CPU with the highest priority task that
can schedule to one of these CPUs, there really only needs to be one IPI
being sent around at a time.
This greatly simplifies the code!
The new approach is to have each root domain have its own irq work, as the
rto_mask is per root domain. The root domain has the following fields
attached to it:
rto_push_work - the irq work to process each CPU set in rto_mask
rto_lock - the lock to protect some of the other rto fields
rto_loop_start - an atomic that keeps contention down on rto_lock
the first CPU scheduling in a lower priority task
is the one to kick off the process.
rto_loop_next - an atomic that gets incremented for each CPU that
schedules in a lower priority task.
rto_loop - a variable protected by rto_lock that is used to
compare against rto_loop_next
rto_cpu - The cpu to send the next IPI to, also protected by
the rto_lock.
When a CPU schedules in a lower priority task and wants to make sure
overloaded CPUs know about it. It increments the rto_loop_next. Then it
atomically sets rto_loop_start with a cmpxchg. If the old value is not "0",
then it is done, as another CPU is kicking off the IPI loop. If the old
value is "0", then it will take the rto_lock to synchronize with a possible
IPI being sent around to the overloaded CPUs.
If rto_cpu is greater than or equal to nr_cpu_ids, then there's either no
IPI being sent around, or one is about to finish. Then rto_cpu is set to the
first CPU in rto_mask and an IPI is sent to that CPU. If there's no CPUs set
in rto_mask, then there's nothing to be done.
When the CPU receives the IPI, it will first try to push any RT tasks that is
queued on the CPU but can't run because a higher priority RT task is
currently running on that CPU.
Then it takes the rto_lock and looks for the next CPU in the rto_mask. If it

rto_lock - the lock to protect some of the other rto fields
rto_loop_start - an atomic that keeps contention down on rto_lock
the first CPU scheduling in a lower priority task
is the one to kick off the process.
rto_loop_next - an atomic that gets incremented for each CPU that
schedules in a lower priority task.
rto_loop - a variable protected by rto_lock that is used to
compare against rto_loop_next
rto_cpu - The cpu to send the next IPI to, also protected by
the rto_lock.
When a CPU schedules in a lower priority task and wants to make sure
overloaded CPUs know about it. It increments the rto_loop_next. Then it
atomically sets rto_loop_start with a cmpxchg. If the old value is not "0",
then it is done, as another CPU is kicking off the IPI loop. If the old
value is "0", then it will take the rto_lock to synchronize with a possible
IPI being sent around to the overloaded CPUs.
If rto_cpu is greater than or equal to nr_cpu_ids, then there's either no
IPI being sent around, or one is about to finish. Then rto_cpu is set to the
first CPU in rto_mask and an IPI is sent to that CPU. If there's no CPUs set
in rto_mask, then there's nothing to be done.
When the CPU receives the IPI, it will first try to push any RT tasks that is
queued on the CPU but can't run because a higher priority RT task is
currently running on that CPU.
Then it takes the rto_lock and looks for the next CPU in the rto_mask. If it
finds one, it simply sends an IPI to that CPU and the process continues.
If there's no more CPUs in the rto_mask, then rto_loop is compared with
rto_loop_next. If they match, everything is done and the process is over. If
they do not match, then a CPU scheduled in a lower priority task as the IPI
was being passed around, and the process needs to start again. The first CPU
in rto_mask is sent the IPI.
This change removes this duplication of work in the IPI logic, and greatly
lowers the latency caused by the IPIs. This removed the lockup happening on
the 120 CPU machine. It also simplifies the code tremendously. What else
could anyone ask for?
Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for simplifying the rto_loop_start atomic logic and
supplying me with the rto_start_trylock() and rto_start_unlock() helper
functions.

sched/rt: Use IPI to trigger RT task push migration instead of pulling
When debugging the latencies on a 40 core box, where we hit 300 to
500 microsecond latencies, I found there was a huge contention on the
runqueue locks.
Investigating it further, running ftrace, I found that it was due to
the pulling of RT tasks.
The test that was run was the following:
cyclictest --numa -p95 -m -d0 -i100
This created a thread on each CPU, that would set its wakeup in iterations
of 100 microseconds. The -d0 means that all the threads had the same
interval (100us). Each thread sleeps for 100us and wakes up and measures
its latencies.
cyclictest is maintained at:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/clrkwllms/rt-tests.git
What happened was another RT task would be scheduled on one of the CPUs
that was running our test, when the other CPU tests went to sleep and
scheduled idle. This caused the "pull" operation to execute on all
these CPUs. Each one of these saw the RT task that was overloaded on
the CPU of the test that was still running, and each one tried
to grab that task in a thundering herd way.
To grab the task, each thread would do a double rq lock grab, grabbing
its own lock as well as the rq of the overloaded CPU. As the sched
domains on this box was rather flat for its size, I saw up to 12 CPUs
block on this lock at once. This caused a ripple affect with the
rq locks especially since the taking was done via a double rq lock, which
means that several of the CPUs had their own rq locks held while trying
to take this rq lock. As these locks were blocked, any wakeups or load
balanceing on these CPUs would also block on these locks, and the wait
time escalated.
I've tried various methods to lessen the load, but things like an
atomic counter to only let one CPU grab the task wont work, because
the task may have a limited affinity, and we may pick the wrong
CPU to take that lock and do the pull, to only find out that the
CPU we picked isn't in the task's affinity.
Instead of doing the PULL, I now have the CPUs that want the pull to
send over an IPI to the overloaded CPU, and let that CPU pick what
CPU to push the task to. No more need to grab the rq lock, and the
push/pull algorithm still works fine.
With this patch, the latency dropped to just 150us over a 20 hour run.
Without the patch, the huge latencies would trigger in seconds.
I've created a new sched feature called RT_PUSH_IPI, which is enabled
by default.
When RT_PUSH_IPI is not enabled, the old method of grabbing the rq locks
and having the pulling CPU do the work is implemented. When RT_PUSH_IPI
is enabled, the IPI is sent to the overloaded CPU to do a push.
To enabled or disable this at run time:
# mount -t debugfs nodev /sys/kernel/debug
# echo RT_PUSH_IPI > /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features
or
# echo NO_RT_PUSH_IPI > /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features
Update: This original patch would send an IPI to all CPUs in the RT overload
list. But that could theoretically cause the reverse issue. That is, there
could be lots of overloaded RT queues and one CPU lowers its priority. It would
then send an IPI to all the overloaded RT queues and they could then all try
to grab the rq lock of the CPU lowering its priority, and then we have the
same problem.
The latest design sends out only one IPI to the first overloaded CPU. It tries to
push any tasks that it can, and then looks for the next overloaded CPU that can
push to the source CPU. The IPIs stop when all overloaded CPUs that have pushable
tasks that have priorities greater than the source CPU are covered. In case the
source CPU lowers its priority again, a flag is set to tell the IPI traversal to
restart with the first RT overloaded CPU after the source CPU.

sched/rt: Simplify the IPI based RT balancing logic
When a CPU lowers its priority (schedules out a high priority task for a
lower priority one), a check is made to see if any other CPU has overloaded
RT tasks (more than one). It checks the rto_mask to determine this and if so
it will request to pull one of those tasks to itself if the non running RT
task is of higher priority than the new priority of the next task to run on
the current CPU.
When we deal with large number of CPUs, the original pull logic suffered
from large lock contention on a single CPU run queue, which caused a huge
latency across all CPUs. This was caused by only having one CPU having
overloaded RT tasks and a bunch of other CPUs lowering their priority. To
solve this issue, commit:
b6366f048e0c ("sched/rt: Use IPI to trigger RT task push migration instead of pulling")
changed the way to request a pull. Instead of grabbing the lock of the
overloaded CPU's runqueue, it simply sent an IPI to that CPU to do the work.
Although the IPI logic worked very well in removing the large latency build
up, it still could suffer from a large number of IPIs being sent to a single
CPU. On a 80 CPU box, I measured over 200us of processing IPIs. Worse yet,
when I tested this on a 120 CPU box, with a stress test that had lots of
RT tasks scheduling on all CPUs, it actually triggered the hard lockup
detector! One CPU had so many IPIs sent to it, and due to the restart
mechanism that is triggered when the source run queue has a priority status
change, the CPU spent minutes! processing the IPIs.
Thinking about this further, I realized there's no reason for each run queue
to send its own IPI. As all CPUs with overloaded tasks must be scanned
regardless if there's one or many CPUs lowering their priority, because
there's no current way to find the CPU with the highest priority task that
can schedule to one of these CPUs, there really only needs to be one IPI
being sent around at a time.
This greatly simplifies the code!
The new approach is to have each root domain have its own irq work, as the
rto_mask is per root domain. The root domain has the following fields
attached to it:
rto_push_work - the irq work to process each CPU set in rto_mask
rto_lock - the lock to protect some of the other rto fields
rto_loop_start - an atomic that keeps contention down on rto_lock
the first CPU scheduling in a lower priority task
is the one to kick off the process.
rto_loop_next - an atomic that gets incremented for each CPU that
schedules in a lower priority task.
rto_loop - a variable protected by rto_lock that is used to
compare against rto_loop_next
rto_cpu - The cpu to send the next IPI to, also protected by
the rto_lock.
When a CPU schedules in a lower priority task and wants to make sure
overloaded CPUs know about it. It increments the rto_loop_next. Then it
atomically sets rto_loop_start with a cmpxchg. If the old value is not "0",
then it is done, as another CPU is kicking off the IPI loop. If the old
value is "0", then it will take the rto_lock to synchronize with a possible
IPI being sent around to the overloaded CPUs.
If rto_cpu is greater than or equal to nr_cpu_ids, then there's either no

Investigating it further, running ftrace, I found that it was due to
the pulling of RT tasks.
The test that was run was the following:
cyclictest --numa -p95 -m -d0 -i100
This created a thread on each CPU, that would set its wakeup in iterations
of 100 microseconds. The -d0 means that all the threads had the same
interval (100us). Each thread sleeps for 100us and wakes up and measures
its latencies.
cyclictest is maintained at:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/clrkwllms/rt-tests.git
What happened was another RT task would be scheduled on one of the CPUs
that was running our test, when the other CPU tests went to sleep and
scheduled idle. This caused the "pull" operation to execute on all
these CPUs. Each one of these saw the RT task that was overloaded on
the CPU of the test that was still running, and each one tried
to grab that task in a thundering herd way.
To grab the task, each thread would do a double rq lock grab, grabbing
its own lock as well as the rq of the overloaded CPU. As the sched
domains on this box was rather flat for its size, I saw up to 12 CPUs
block on this lock at once. This caused a ripple affect with the
rq locks especially since the taking was done via a double rq lock, which
means that several of the CPUs had their own rq locks held while trying
to take this rq lock. As these locks were blocked, any wakeups or load
balanceing on these CPUs would also block on these locks, and the wait
time escalated.
I've tried various methods to lessen the load, but things like an
atomic counter to only let one CPU grab the task wont work, because
the task may have a limited affinity, and we may pick the wrong
CPU to take that lock and do the pull, to only find out that the
CPU we picked isn't in the task's affinity.
Instead of doing the PULL, I now have the CPUs that want the pull to
send over an IPI to the overloaded CPU, and let that CPU pick what
CPU to push the task to. No more need to grab the rq lock, and the
push/pull algorithm still works fine.
With this patch, the latency dropped to just 150us over a 20 hour run.
Without the patch, the huge latencies would trigger in seconds.
I've created a new sched feature called RT_PUSH_IPI, which is enabled
by default.
When RT_PUSH_IPI is not enabled, the old method of grabbing the rq locks
and having the pulling CPU do the work is implemented. When RT_PUSH_IPI
is enabled, the IPI is sent to the overloaded CPU to do a push.
To enabled or disable this at run time:
# mount -t debugfs nodev /sys/kernel/debug
# echo RT_PUSH_IPI > /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features
or
# echo NO_RT_PUSH_IPI > /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features
Update: This original patch would send an IPI to all CPUs in the RT overload
list. But that could theoretically cause the reverse issue. That is, there
could be lots of overloaded RT queues and one CPU lowers its priority. It would
then send an IPI to all the overloaded RT queues and they could then all try
to grab the rq lock of the CPU lowering its priority, and then we have the
same problem.
The latest design sends out only one IPI to the first overloaded CPU. It tries to
push any tasks that it can, and then looks for the next overloaded CPU that can
push to the source CPU. The IPIs stop when all overloaded CPUs that have pushable
tasks that have priorities greater than the source CPU are covered. In case the
source CPU lowers its priority again, a flag is set to tell the IPI traversal to
restart with the first RT overloaded CPU after the source CPU.

sched/rt: Do not pull from current CPU if only one CPU to pull
Daniel Wagner reported a crash on the BeagleBone Black SoC.
This is a single CPU architecture, and does not have a functional
arch_send_call_function_single_ipi() implementation which can crash
the kernel if that is called.
As it only has one CPU, it shouldn't be called, but if the kernel is
compiled for SMP, the push/pull RT scheduling logic now calls it for
irq_work if the one CPU is overloaded, it can use that function to call
itself and crash the kernel.
Ideally, we should disable the SCHED_FEAT(RT_PUSH_IPI) if the system
only has a single CPU. But SCHED_FEAT is a constant if sched debugging
is turned off. Another fix can also be used, and this should also help
with normal SMP machines. That is, do not initiate the pull code if
there's only one RT overloaded CPU, and that CPU happens to be the
current CPU that is scheduling in a lower priority task.
Even on a system with many CPUs, if there's many RT tasks waiting to
run on a single CPU, and that CPU schedules in another RT task of lower
priority, it will initiate the PULL logic in case there's a higher
priority RT task on another CPU that is waiting to run. But if there is
no other CPU with waiting RT tasks, it will initiate the RT pull logic
on itself (as it still has RT tasks waiting to run). This is a wasted
effort.
Not only does this help with SMP code where the current CPU is the only
one with RT overloaded tasks, it should also solve the issue that
Daniel encountered, because it will prevent the PULL logic from
executing, as there's only one CPU on the system, and the check added
here will cause it to exit the RT pull code.

sched/rt: Do not pull from current CPU if only one CPU to pull
Daniel Wagner reported a crash on the BeagleBone Black SoC.
This is a single CPU architecture, and does not have a functional
arch_send_call_function_single_ipi() implementation which can crash
the kernel if that is called.
As it only has one CPU, it shouldn't be called, but if the kernel is
compiled for SMP, the push/pull RT scheduling logic now calls it for
irq_work if the one CPU is overloaded, it can use that function to call
itself and crash the kernel.
Ideally, we should disable the SCHED_FEAT(RT_PUSH_IPI) if the system
only has a single CPU. But SCHED_FEAT is a constant if sched debugging
is turned off. Another fix can also be used, and this should also help
with normal SMP machines. That is, do not initiate the pull code if
there's only one RT overloaded CPU, and that CPU happens to be the
current CPU that is scheduling in a lower priority task.
Even on a system with many CPUs, if there's many RT tasks waiting to
run on a single CPU, and that CPU schedules in another RT task of lower
priority, it will initiate the PULL logic in case there's a higher
priority RT task on another CPU that is waiting to run. But if there is
no other CPU with waiting RT tasks, it will initiate the RT pull logic
on itself (as it still has RT tasks waiting to run). This is a wasted
effort.
Not only does this help with SMP code where the current CPU is the only
one with RT overloaded tasks, it should also solve the issue that
Daniel encountered, because it will prevent the PULL logic from
executing, as there's only one CPU on the system, and the check added
here will cause it to exit the RT pull code.

sched/rt: Use IPI to trigger RT task push migration instead of pulling
When debugging the latencies on a 40 core box, where we hit 300 to
500 microsecond latencies, I found there was a huge contention on the
runqueue locks.
Investigating it further, running ftrace, I found that it was due to
the pulling of RT tasks.
The test that was run was the following:
cyclictest --numa -p95 -m -d0 -i100
This created a thread on each CPU, that would set its wakeup in iterations
of 100 microseconds. The -d0 means that all the threads had the same
interval (100us). Each thread sleeps for 100us and wakes up and measures
its latencies.
cyclictest is maintained at:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/clrkwllms/rt-tests.git
What happened was another RT task would be scheduled on one of the CPUs
that was running our test, when the other CPU tests went to sleep and
scheduled idle. This caused the "pull" operation to execute on all
these CPUs. Each one of these saw the RT task that was overloaded on
the CPU of the test that was still running, and each one tried
to grab that task in a thundering herd way.
To grab the task, each thread would do a double rq lock grab, grabbing
its own lock as well as the rq of the overloaded CPU. As the sched
domains on this box was rather flat for its size, I saw up to 12 CPUs
block on this lock at once. This caused a ripple affect with the
rq locks especially since the taking was done via a double rq lock, which
means that several of the CPUs had their own rq locks held while trying
to take this rq lock. As these locks were blocked, any wakeups or load
balanceing on these CPUs would also block on these locks, and the wait
time escalated.
I've tried various methods to lessen the load, but things like an
atomic counter to only let one CPU grab the task wont work, because
the task may have a limited affinity, and we may pick the wrong
CPU to take that lock and do the pull, to only find out that the
CPU we picked isn't in the task's affinity.
Instead of doing the PULL, I now have the CPUs that want the pull to
send over an IPI to the overloaded CPU, and let that CPU pick what
CPU to push the task to. No more need to grab the rq lock, and the
push/pull algorithm still works fine.
With this patch, the latency dropped to just 150us over a 20 hour run.
Without the patch, the huge latencies would trigger in seconds.
I've created a new sched feature called RT_PUSH_IPI, which is enabled
by default.
When RT_PUSH_IPI is not enabled, the old method of grabbing the rq locks
and having the pulling CPU do the work is implemented. When RT_PUSH_IPI
is enabled, the IPI is sent to the overloaded CPU to do a push.
To enabled or disable this at run time:
# mount -t debugfs nodev /sys/kernel/debug
# echo RT_PUSH_IPI > /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features
or
# echo NO_RT_PUSH_IPI > /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features
Update: This original patch would send an IPI to all CPUs in the RT overload
list. But that could theoretically cause the reverse issue. That is, there
could be lots of overloaded RT queues and one CPU lowers its priority. It would
then send an IPI to all the overloaded RT queues and they could then all try
to grab the rq lock of the CPU lowering its priority, and then we have the
same problem.
The latest design sends out only one IPI to the first overloaded CPU. It tries to
push any tasks that it can, and then looks for the next overloaded CPU that can
push to the source CPU. The IPIs stop when all overloaded CPUs that have pushable
tasks that have priorities greater than the source CPU are covered. In case the
source CPU lowers its priority again, a flag is set to tell the IPI traversal to
restart with the first RT overloaded CPU after the source CPU.

sched: Clean up and harmonize the coding style of the scheduler code base
A good number of small style inconsistencies have accumulated
in the scheduler core, so do a pass over them to harmonize
all these details:
- fix speling in comments,
- use curly braces for multi-line statements,
- remove unnecessary parentheses from integer literals,
- capitalize consistently,
- remove stray newlines,
- add comments where necessary,
- remove invalid/unnecessary comments,
- align structure definitions and other data types vertically,
- add missing newlines for increased readability,
- fix vertical tabulation where it's misaligned,
- harmonize preprocessor conditional block labeling
and vertical alignment,
- remove line-breaks where they uglify the code,
- add newline after local variable definitions,
No change in functionality:

sched/deadline: Add SCHED_DEADLINE SMP-related data structures & logic
Introduces data structures relevant for implementing dynamic
migration of -deadline tasks and the logic for checking if
runqueues are overloaded with -deadline tasks and for choosing
where a task should migrate, when it is the case.
Adds also dynamic migrations to SCHED_DEADLINE, so that tasks can
be moved among CPUs when necessary. It is also possible to bind a
task to a (set of) CPU(s), thus restricting its capability of
migrating, or forbidding migrations at all.
The very same approach used in sched_rt is utilised:
- -deadline tasks are kept into CPU-specific runqueues,
- -deadline tasks are migrated among runqueues to achieve the
following:
* on an M-CPU system the M earliest deadline ready tasks
are always running;
* affinity/cpusets settings of all the -deadline tasks is
always respected.
Therefore, this very special form of "load balancing" is done with
an active method, i.e., the scheduler pushes or pulls tasks between
runqueues when they are woken up and/or (de)scheduled.
IOW, every time a preemption occurs, the descheduled task might be sent
to some other CPU (depending on its deadline) to continue executing
(push). On the other hand, every time a CPU becomes idle, it might pull
the second earliest deadline ready task from some other CPU.
To enforce this, a pull operation is always attempted before taking any
scheduling decision (pre_schedule()), as well as a push one after each
scheduling decision (post_schedule()). In addition, when a task arrives
or wakes up, the best CPU where to resume it is selected taking into
account its affinity mask, the system topology, but also its deadline.
E.g., from the scheduling point of view, the best CPU where to wake
up (and also where to push) a task is the one which is running the task
with the latest deadline among the M executing ones.
In order to facilitate these decisions, per-runqueue "caching" of the
deadlines of the currently running and of the first ready task is used.
Queued but not running tasks are also parked in another rb-tree to
speed-up pushes.

sched/rt: Avoid updating RT entry timeout twice within one tick period
The issue below was found in 2.6.34-rt rather than mainline rt
kernel, but the issue still exists upstream as well.
So please let me describe how it was noticed on 2.6.34-rt:
On this version, each softirq has its own thread, it means there
is at least one RT FIFO task per cpu. The priority of these
tasks is set to 49 by default. If user launches an RT FIFO task
with priority lower than 49 of softirq RT tasks, it's possible
there are two RT FIFO tasks enqueued one cpu runqueue at one
moment. By current strategy of balancing RT tasks, when it comes
to RT tasks, we really need to put them off to a CPU that they
can run on as soon as possible. Even if it means a bit of cache
line flushing, we want RT tasks to be run with the least latency.
When the user RT FIFO task which just launched before is
running, the sched timer tick of the current cpu happens. In this
tick period, the timeout value of the user RT task will be
updated once. Subsequently, we try to wake up one softirq RT
task on its local cpu. As the priority of current user RT task
is lower than the softirq RT task, the current task will be
preempted by the higher priority softirq RT task. Before
preemption, we check to see if current can readily move to a
different cpu. If so, we will reschedule to allow the RT push logic
to try to move current somewhere else. Whenever the woken
softirq RT task runs, it first tries to migrate the user FIFO RT
task over to a cpu that is running a task of lesser priority. If
migration is done, it will send a reschedule request to the found
cpu by IPI interrupt. Once the target cpu responds the IPI
interrupt, it will pick the migrated user RT task to preempt its
current task. When the user RT task is running on the new cpu,
the sched timer tick of the cpu fires. So it will tick the user
RT task again. This also means the RT task timeout value will be
updated again. As the migration may be done in one tick period,
it means the user RT task timeout value will be updated twice
within one tick.
If we set a limit on the amount of cpu time for the user RT task
by setrlimit(RLIMIT_RTTIME), the SIGXCPU signal should be posted
upon reaching the soft limit.
But exactly when the SIGXCPU signal should be sent depends on the
RT task timeout value. In fact the timeout mechanism of sending
the SIGXCPU signal assumes the RT task timeout is increased once
every tick.
However, currently the timeout value may be added twice per
tick. So it results in the SIGXCPU signal being sent earlier
than expected.
To solve this issue, we prevent the timeout value from increasing
twice within one tick time by remembering the jiffies value of
last updating the timeout. As long as the RT task's jiffies is
different with the global jiffies value, we allow its timeout to
be updated.

timers: fix itimer/many thread hang
Overview
This patch reworks the handling of POSIX CPU timers, including the
ITIMER_PROF, ITIMER_VIRT timers and rlimit handling. It was put together
with the help of Roland McGrath, the owner and original writer of this code.
The problem we ran into, and the reason for this rework, has to do with using
a profiling timer in a process with a large number of threads. It appears
that the performance of the old implementation of run_posix_cpu_timers() was
at least O(n*3) (where "n" is the number of threads in a process) or worse.
Everything is fine with an increasing number of threads until the time taken
for that routine to run becomes the same as or greater than the tick time, at
which point things degrade rather quickly.
This patch fixes bug 9906, "Weird hang with NPTL and SIGPROF."
Code Changes
This rework corrects the implementation of run_posix_cpu_timers() to make it
run in constant time for a particular machine. (Performance may vary between
one machine and another depending upon whether the kernel is built as single-
or multiprocessor and, in the latter case, depending upon the number of
running processors.) To do this, at each tick we now update fields in
signal_struct as well as task_struct. The run_posix_cpu_timers() function
uses those fields to make its decisions.
We define a new structure, "task_cputime," to contain user, system and
scheduler times and use these in appropriate places:
struct task_cputime {
cputime_t utime;
cputime_t stime;
unsigned long long sum_exec_runtime;
};
This is included in the structure "thread_group_cputime," which is a new
substructure of signal_struct and which varies for uniprocessor versus
multiprocessor kernels. For uniprocessor kernels, it uses "task_cputime" as
a simple substructure, while for multiprocessor kernels it is a pointer:
struct thread_group_cputime {
struct task_cputime totals;
};
struct thread_group_cputime {
struct task_cputime *totals;
};
We also add a new task_cputime substructure directly to signal_struct, to
cache the earliest expiration of process-wide timers, and task_cputime also
replaces the it_*_expires fields of task_struct (used for earliest expiration
of thread timers). The "thread_group_cputime" structure contains process-wide
timers that are updated via account_user_time() and friends. In the non-SMP
case the structure is a simple aggregator; unfortunately in the SMP case that
simplicity was not achievable due to cache-line contention between CPUs (in
one measured case performance was actually _worse_ on a 16-cpu system than
the same test on a 4-cpu system, due to this contention). For SMP, the
thread_group_cputime counters are maintained as a per-cpu structure allocated
using alloc_percpu(). The timer functions update only the timer field in
the structure corresponding to the running CPU, obtained using per_cpu_ptr().
We define a set of inline functions in sched.h that we use to maintain the
thread_group_cputime structure and hide the differences between UP and SMP
implementations from the rest of the kernel. The thread_group_cputime_init()
function initializes the thread_group_cputime structure for the given task.
The thread_group_cputime_alloc() is a no-op for UP; for SMP it calls the
out-of-line function thread_group_cputime_alloc_smp() to allocate and fill
in the per-cpu structures and fields. The thread_group_cputime_free()
function, also a no-op for UP, in SMP frees the per-cpu structures. The
thread_group_cputime_clone_thread() function (also a UP no-op) for SMP calls
thread_group_cputime_alloc() if the per-cpu structures haven't yet been
allocated. The thread_group_cputime() function fills the task_cputime
structure it is passed with the contents of the thread_group_cputime fields;
in UP it's that simple but in SMP it must also safely check that tsk->signal
is non-NULL (if it is it just uses the appropriate fields of task_struct) and,
if so, sums the per-cpu values for each online CPU. Finally, the three
functions account_group_user_time(), account_group_system_time() and
account_group_exec_runtime() are used by timer functions to update the
respective fields of the thread_group_cputime structure.
Non-SMP operation is trivial and will not be mentioned further.
The per-cpu structure is always allocated when a task creates its first new
thread, via a call to thread_group_cputime_clone_thread() from copy_signal().
It is freed at process exit via a call to thread_group_cputime_free() from
cleanup_signal().
All functions that formerly summed utime/stime/sum_sched_runtime values from
from all threads in the thread group now use thread_group_cputime() to
snapshot the values in the thread_group_cputime structure or the values in
the task structure itself if the per-cpu structure hasn't been allocated.
Finally, the code in kernel/posix-cpu-timers.c has changed quite a bit.
The run_posix_cpu_timers() function has been split into a fast path and a
slow path; the former safely checks whether there are any expired thread
timers and, if not, just returns, while the slow path does the heavy lifting.
With the dedicated thread group fields, timers are no longer "rebalanced" and
the process_timer_rebalance() function and related code has gone away. All
summing loops are gone and all code that used them now uses the
thread_group_cputime() inline. When process-wide timers are set, the new
task_cputime structure in signal_struct is used to cache the earliest
expiration; this is checked in the fast path.
Performance
The fix appears not to add significant overhead to existing operations. It
generally performs the same as the current code except in two cases, one in
which it performs slightly worse (Case 5 below) and one in which it performs
very significantly better (Case 2 below). Overall it's a wash except in those
two cases.
I've since done somewhat more involved testing on a dual-core Opteron system.
Case 1: With no itimer running, for a test with 100,000 threads, the fixed
kernel took 1428.5 seconds, 513 seconds more than the unfixed system,
all of which was spent in the system. There were twice as many
voluntary context switches with the fix as without it.
Case 2: With an itimer running at .01 second ticks and 4000 threads (the most
an unmodified kernel can handle), the fixed kernel ran the test in
eight percent of the time (5.8 seconds as opposed to 70 seconds) and
had better tick accuracy (.012 seconds per tick as opposed to .023
seconds per tick).
Case 3: A 4000-thread test with an initial timer tick of .01 second and an
interval of 10,000 seconds (i.e. a timer that ticks only once) had
very nearly the same performance in both cases: 6.3 seconds elapsed
for the fixed kernel versus 5.5 seconds for the unfixed kernel.
With fewer threads (eight in these tests), the Case 1 test ran in essentially
the same time on both the modified and unmodified kernels (5.2 seconds versus
5.8 seconds). The Case 2 test ran in about the same time as well, 5.9 seconds
versus 5.4 seconds but again with much better tick accuracy, .013 seconds per
tick versus .025 seconds per tick for the unmodified kernel.
Since the fix affected the rlimit code, I also tested soft and hard CPU limits.
Case 4: With a hard CPU limit of 20 seconds and eight threads (and an itimer
running), the modified kernel was very slightly favored in that while
it killed the process in 19.997 seconds of CPU time (5.002 seconds of
wall time), only .003 seconds of that was system time, the rest was
user time. The unmodified kernel killed the process in 20.001 seconds
of CPU (5.014 seconds of wall time) of which .016 seconds was system
time. Really, though, the results were too close to call. The results
were essentially the same with no itimer running.
Case 5: With a soft limit of 20 seconds and a hard limit of 2000 seconds
(where the hard limit would never be reached) and an itimer running,
the modified kernel exhibited worse tick accuracy than the unmodified
kernel: .050 seconds/tick versus .028 seconds/tick. Otherwise,
performance was almost indistinguishable. With no itimer running this
test exhibited virtually identical behavior and times in both cases.
In times past I did some limited performance testing. those results are below.
On a four-cpu Opteron system without this fix, a sixteen-thread test executed
in 3569.991 seconds, of which user was 3568.435s and system was 1.556s. On
the same system with the fix, user and elapsed time were about the same, but
system time dropped to 0.007 seconds. Performance with eight, four and one
thread were comparable. Interestingly, the timer ticks with the fix seemed
more accurate: The sixteen-thread test with the fix received 149543 ticks
for 0.024 seconds per tick, while the same test without the fix received 58720
for 0.061 seconds per tick. Both cases were configured for an interval of
0.01 seconds. Again, the other tests were comparable. Each thread in this
test computed the primes up to 25,000,000.
I also did a test with a large number of threads, 100,000 threads, which is
impossible without the fix. In this case each thread computed the primes only
up to 10,000 (to make the runtime manageable). System time dominated, at
1546.968 seconds out of a total 2176.906 seconds (giving a user time of
629.938s). It received 147651 ticks for 0.015 seconds per tick, still quite
accurate. There is obviously no comparable test without the fix.

sched: create "pushable_tasks" list to limit pushing to one attempt
The RT scheduler employs a "push/pull" design to actively balance tasks
within the system (on a per disjoint cpuset basis). 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.

sched/cputime: Fix clock_nanosleep()/clock_gettime() inconsistency
Commit d670ec13178d0 "posix-cpu-timers: Cure SMP wobbles" fixes one glibc
test case in cost of breaking another one. After that commit, calling
clock_nanosleep(TIMER_ABSTIME, X) and then clock_gettime(&Y) can result
of Y time being smaller than X time.
Reproducer/tester can be found further below, it can be compiled and ran by:
gcc -o tst-cpuclock2 tst-cpuclock2.c -pthread
while ./tst-cpuclock2 ; do : ; done
This reproducer, when running on a buggy kernel, will complain
about "clock_gettime difference too small".
Issue happens because on start in thread_group_cputimer() we initialize
sum_exec_runtime of cputimer with threads runtime not yet accounted and
then add the threads runtime to running cputimer again on scheduler
tick, making it's sum_exec_runtime bigger than actual threads runtime.
KOSAKI Motohiro posted a fix for this problem, but that patch was never
applied: https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/5/26/191 .
This patch takes different approach to cure the problem. It calls
update_curr() when cputimer starts, that assure we will have updated
stats of running threads and on the next schedule tick we will account
only the runtime that elapsed from cputimer start. That also assure we
have consistent state between cpu times of individual threads and cpu
time of the process consisted by those threads.

sched: Clean up and harmonize the coding style of the scheduler code base
A good number of small style inconsistencies have accumulated
in the scheduler core, so do a pass over them to harmonize
all these details:
- fix speling in comments,
- use curly braces for multi-line statements,
- remove unnecessary parentheses from integer literals,
- capitalize consistently,
- remove stray newlines,
- add comments where necessary,
- remove invalid/unnecessary comments,
- align structure definitions and other data types vertically,
- add missing newlines for increased readability,
- fix vertical tabulation where it's misaligned,
- harmonize preprocessor conditional block labeling
and vertical alignment,
- remove line-breaks where they uglify the code,
- add newline after local variable definitions,
No change in functionality:
