* sched: Optimize task_sched_runtime()Peter Zijlstra2013-11-131-0/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Large multi-threaded apps like to hit this using do_sys_times() and then queue up on the rq->lock. Avoid when possible.

* sched: Remove unnecessary iteration over sched domains to update nr_busy_cpusPreeti U Murthy2013-11-061-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | nr_busy_cpus parameter is used by nohz_kick_needed() to find out the number of busy cpus in a sched domain which has SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES flag set. Therefore instead of updating nr_busy_cpus at every level of sched domain, since it is irrelevant, we can update this parameter only at the parent domain of the sd which has this flag set. Introduce a per-cpu parameter sd_busy which represents this parent domain. In nohz_kick_needed() we directly query the nr_busy_cpus parameter associated with the groups of sd_busy. By associating sd_busy with the highest domain which has SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES flag set, we cover all lower level domains which could have this flag set and trigger nohz_idle_balancing if any of the levels have more than one busy cpu. sd_busy is irrelevant for asymmetric load balancing. However sd_asym has been introduced to represent the highest sched domain which has SD_ASYM_PACKING flag set so that it can be queried directly when required. While we are at it, we might as well change the nohz_idle parameter to be updated at the sd_busy domain level alone and not the base domain level of a CPU. This will unify the concept of busy cpus at just one level of sched domain where it is currently used.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we transition cfs_bandwidth_used to false, any currently throttled groups will incorrectly return false from cfs_rq_throttled. While tg_set_cfs_bandwidth will unthrottle them eventually, currently running code (including at least dequeue_task_fair and distribute_cfs_runtime) will cause errors. Fix this by turning off cfs_bandwidth_used only after unthrottling all cfs_rqs. Tested: toggle bandwidth back and forth on a loaded cgroup.

* sched: Remove get_online_cpus() usagePeter Zijlstra2013-10-161-10/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove get_online_cpus() usage from the scheduler; there's 4 sites that use it: - sched_init_smp(); where its completely superfluous since we're in 'early' boot and there simply cannot be any hotplugging. - sched_getaffinity(); we already take a raw spinlock to protect the task cpus_allowed mask, this disables preemption and therefore also stabilizes cpu_online_mask as that's modified using stop_machine. However switch to active mask for symmetry with sched_setaffinity()/set_cpus_allowed_ptr(). We guarantee active mask stability by inserting sync_rcu/sched() into _cpu_down. - sched_setaffinity(); we don't appear to need get_online_cpus() either, there's two sites where hotplug appears relevant: * cpuset_cpus_allowed(); for the !cpuset case we use possible_mask, for the cpuset case we hold task_lock, which is a spinlock and thus for mainline disables preemption (might cause pain on RT). * set_cpus_allowed_ptr(); Holds all scheduler locks and thus has preemption properly disabled; also it already deals with hotplug races explicitly where it releases them. - migrate_swap(); we can make stop_two_cpus() do the heavy lifting for us with a little trickery. By adding a sync_sched/rcu() after the CPU_DOWN_PREPARE notifier we can provide preempt/rcu guarantees for cpu_active_mask. Use these to validate that both our cpus are active when queueing the stop work before we queue the stop_machine works for take_cpu_down().

* sched: Fix race in migrate_swap_stop()Peter Zijlstra2013-10-161-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is a subtle race in migrate_swap, when task P, on CPU A, decides to swap places with task T, on CPU B. Task P: - call migrate_swap Task T: - go to sleep, removing itself from the runqueue Task P: - double lock the runqueues on CPU A & B Task T: - get woken up, place itself on the runqueue of CPU C Task P: - see that task T is on a runqueue, and pretend to remove it from the runqueue on CPU B Now CPUs B & C both have corrupted scheduler data structures. This patch fixes it, by holding the pi_lock for both of the tasks involved in the migrate swap. This prevents task T from waking up, and placing itself onto another runqueue, until after migrate_swap has released all locks. This means that, when migrate_swap checks, task T will be either on the runqueue where it was originally seen, or not on any runqueue at all. Migrate_swap deals correctly with of those cases.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch classifies scheduler domains and runqueues into types depending the number of tasks that are about their NUMA placement and the number that are currently running on their preferred node. The types are regular: There are tasks running that do not care about their NUMA placement. remote: There are tasks running that care about their placement but are currently running on a node remote to their ideal placement all: No distinction To implement this the patch tracks the number of tasks that are optimally NUMA placed (rq->nr_preferred_running) and the number of tasks running that care about their placement (nr_numa_running). The load balancer uses this information to avoid migrating idea placed NUMA tasks as long as better options for load balancing exists. For example, it will not consider balancing between a group whose tasks are all perfectly placed and a group with remote tasks.

* sched/numa: Use {cpu, pid} to create task groups for shared faultsPeter Zijlstra2013-10-091-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While parallel applications tend to align their data on the cache boundary, they tend not to align on the page or THP boundary. Consequently tasks that partition their data can still "false-share" pages presenting a problem for optimal NUMA placement. This patch uses NUMA hinting faults to chain tasks together into numa_groups. As well as storing the NID a task was running on when accessing a page a truncated representation of the faulting PID is stored. If subsequent faults are from different PIDs it is reasonable to assume that those two tasks share a page and are candidates for being grouped together. Note that this patch makes no scheduling decisions based on the grouping information.

* sched/numa: Use a system-wide search to find swap/migration candidatesMel Gorman2013-10-091-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch implements a system-wide search for swap/migration candidates based on total NUMA hinting faults. It has a balance limit, however it doesn't properly consider total node balance. In the old scheme a task selected a preferred node based on the highest number of private faults recorded on the node. In this scheme, the preferred node is based on the total number of faults. If the preferred node for a task changes then task_numa_migrate will search the whole system looking for tasks to swap with that would improve both the overall compute balance and minimise the expected number of remote NUMA hinting faults. Not there is no guarantee that the node the source task is placed on by task_numa_migrate() has any relationship to the newly selected task->numa_preferred_nid due to compute overloading.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Use the new stop_two_cpus() to implement migrate_swap(), a function that flips two tasks between their respective cpus. I'm fairly sure there's a less crude way than employing the stop_two_cpus() method, but everything I tried either got horribly fragile and/or complex. So keep it simple for now. The notable detail is how we 'migrate' tasks that aren't runnable anymore. We'll make it appear like we migrated them before they went to sleep. The sole difference is the previous cpu in the wakeup path, so we override this.

* sched/numa: Do not migrate memory immediately after switching nodeRik van Riel2013-10-091-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The load balancer can move tasks between nodes and does not take NUMA locality into account. With automatic NUMA balancing this may result in the tasks working set being migrated to the new node. However, as the fault buffer will still store faults from the old node the schduler may decide to reset the preferred node and migrate the task back resulting in more migrations. The ideal would be that the scheduler did not migrate tasks with a heavy memory footprint but this may result nodes being overloaded. We could also discard the fault information on task migration but this would still cause all the tasks working set to be migrated. This patch simply avoids migrating the memory for a short time after a task is migrated.

* sched/numa: Favour moving tasks towards the preferred nodeMel Gorman2013-10-091-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch favours moving tasks towards NUMA node that recorded a higher number of NUMA faults during active load balancing. Ideally this is self-reinforcing as the longer the task runs on that node, the more faults it should incur causing task_numa_placement to keep the task running on that node. In reality a big weakness is that the nodes CPUs can be overloaded and it would be more efficient to queue tasks on an idle node and migrate to the new node. This would require additional smarts in the balancer so for now the balancer will simply prefer to place the task on the preferred node for a PTE scans which is controlled by the numa_balancing_settle_count sysctl. Once the settle_count number of scans has complete the schedule is free to place the task on an alternative node if the load is imbalanced.

* sched/numa: Update NUMA hinting faults once per scanMel Gorman2013-10-091-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | NUMA hinting fault counts and placement decisions are both recorded in the same array which distorts the samples in an unpredictable fashion. The values linearly accumulate during the scan and then decay creating a sawtooth-like pattern in the per-node counts. It also means that placement decisions are time sensitive. At best it means that it is very difficult to state that the buffer holds a decaying average of past faulting behaviour. At worst, it can confuse the load balancer if it sees one node with an artifically high count due to very recent faulting activity and may create a bouncing effect. This patch adds a second array. numa_faults stores the historical data which is used for placement decisions. numa_faults_buffer holds the fault activity during the current scan window. When the scan completes, numa_faults decays and the values from numa_faults_buffer are copied across.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When using per-cpu preempt_count variables we need to save/restore the preempt_count on context switch (into per task storage; for instance the old thread_info::preempt_count variable) because of PREEMPT_ACTIVE. However, this means that on fork() the preempt_count value of the last context switch gets copied and if we had a PREEMPT_ACTIVE switch right before cloning a child task the child task will now too have PREEMPT_ACTIVE set and start its life with an extra PREEMPT_ACTIVE count. Therefore we need to make init_task_preempt_count() unconditional; this resets whatever preempt_count we inherited from our parent process. Doing so for !per-cpu implementations is harmless. For !PREEMPT_COUNT kernels we need to be careful not to start life with an increased preempt_count.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Rewrite the preempt_count macros in order to extract the 3 basic preempt_count value modifiers: __preempt_count_add() __preempt_count_sub() and the new: __preempt_count_dec_and_test() And since we're at it anyway, replace the unconventional $op_preempt_count names with the more conventional preempt_count_$op. Since these basic operators are equivalent to the previous _notrace() variants, do away with the _notrace() versions.

* sched: Create more preempt_count accessorsPeter Zijlstra2013-09-251-4/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We need a few special preempt_count accessors: - task_preempt_count() for when we're interested in the preemption count of another (non-running) task. - init_task_preempt_count() for properly initializing the preemption count. - init_idle_preempt_count() a special case of the above for the idle threads. With these no generic code ever touches thread_info::preempt_count anymore and architectures could choose to remove it.

* sched: Add NEED_RESCHED to the preempt_countPeter Zijlstra2013-09-251-5/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In order to combine the preemption and need_resched test we need to fold the need_resched information into the preempt_count value. Since the NEED_RESCHED flag is set across CPUs this needs to be an atomic operation, however we very much want to avoid making preempt_count atomic, therefore we keep the existing TIF_NEED_RESCHED infrastructure in place but at 3 sites test it and fold its value into preempt_count; namely: - resched_task() when setting TIF_NEED_RESCHED on the current task - scheduler_ipi() when resched_task() sets TIF_NEED_RESCHED on a remote task it follows it up with a reschedule IPI and we can modify the cpu local preempt_count from there. - cpu_idle_loop() for when resched_task() found tsk_is_polling(). We use an inverted bitmask to indicate need_resched so that a 0 means both need_resched and !atomic. Also remove the barrier() in preempt_enable() between preempt_enable_no_resched() and preempt_check_resched() to avoid having to reload the preemption value and allow the compiler to use the flags of the previuos decrement. I couldn't come up with any sane reason for this barrier() to be there as preempt_enable_no_resched() already has a barrier() before doing the decrement.

* sched/balancing: Consider max cost of idle balance per sched domainJason Low2013-09-201-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In this patch, we keep track of the max cost we spend doing idle load balancing for each sched domain. If the avg time the CPU remains idle is less then the time we have already spent on idle balancing + the max cost of idle balancing in the sched domain, then we don't continue to attempt the balance. We also keep a per rq variable, max_idle_balance_cost, which keeps track of the max time spent on newidle load balances throughout all its domains so that we can determine the avg_idle's max value. By using the max, we avoid overrunning the average. This further reduces the chance we attempt balancing when the CPU is not idle for longer than the cost to balance.

* sched: Reduce overestimating rq->avg_idleJason Low2013-09-201-3/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When updating avg_idle, if the delta exceeds some max value, then avg_idle gets set to the max, regardless of what the previous avg was. This can cause avg_idle to often be overestimated. This patch modifies the way we update avg_idle by always updating it with the function call to update_avg() first. Then, if avg_idle exceeds the max, we set it to the max.

Most changes aren't visible to userland at all at this point and are laying foundation for the planned unified hierarchy. - The biggest change is decoupling the lifetime management of css (cgroup_subsys_state) from that of cgroup's. Because controllers (cpu, memory, block and so on) will need to be dynamically enabled and disabled, css which is the association point between a cgroup and a controller may come and go dynamically across the lifetime of a cgroup. Till now, css's were created when the associated cgroup was created and stayed till the cgroup got destroyed. Assumptions around this tight coupling permeated through cgroup core and controllers. These assumptions are gradually removed, which consists bulk of patches, and css destruction path is completely decoupled from cgroup destruction path. Note that decoupling of creation path is relatively easy on top of these changes and the patchset is pending for the next window. - cgroup has its own event mechanism cgroup.event_control, which is only used by memcg. It is overly complex trying to achieve high flexibility whose benefits seem dubious at best. Going forward, new events will simply generate file modified event and the existing mechanism is being made specific to memcg. This pull request contains prepatory patches for such change. - Various fixes and cleanups" Fixed up conflict in kernel/cgroup.c as per Tejun. * 'for-3.12' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup: (69 commits) cgroup: fix cgroup_css() invocation in css_from_id() cgroup: make cgroup_write_event_control() use css_from_dir() instead of __d_cgrp() cgroup: make cgroup_event hold onto cgroup_subsys_state instead of cgroup cgroup: implement CFTYPE_NO_PREFIX cgroup: make cgroup_css() take cgroup_subsys * instead and allow NULL subsys cgroup: rename cgroup_css_from_dir() to css_from_dir() and update its syntax cgroup: fix cgroup_write_event_control() cgroup: fix subsystem file accesses on the root cgroup cgroup: change cgroup_from_id() to css_from_id() cgroup: use css_get() in cgroup_create() to check CSS_ROOT cpuset: remove an unncessary forward declaration cgroup: RCU protect each cgroup_subsys_state release cgroup: move subsys file removal to kill_css() cgroup: factor out kill_css() cgroup: decouple cgroup_subsys_state destruction from cgroup destruction cgroup: replace cgroup->css_kill_cnt with ->nr_css cgroup: bounce cgroup_subsys_state ref kill confirmation to a work item cgroup: move cgroup->subsys[] assignment to online_css() cgroup: reorganize css init / exit paths cgroup: add __rcu modifier to cgroup->subsys[] ...

This is mostly to prepare for the unified hierarchy support where css's will be created and destroyed dynamically but also helps cleaning up subsystem implementations as css is usually what they are interested in anyway. cgroup_taskset which is used by the subsystem attach methods is the last cgroup subsystem API which isn't using css as the handle. Update cgroup_taskset_cur_cgroup() to cgroup_taskset_cur_css() and cgroup_taskset_for_each() to take @skip_css instead of @skip_cgrp. The conversions are pretty mechanical. One exception is cpuset::cgroup_cs(), which lost its last user and got removed. This patch shouldn't introduce any functional changes.

Please see the previous commit which converts the subsystem methods for rationale. This patch converts all cftype file operations to take @css instead of @cgroup. cftypes for the cgroup core files don't have their subsytem pointer set. These will automatically use the dummy_css added by the previous patch and can be converted the same way. Most subsystem conversions are straight forwards but there are some interesting ones. * freezer: update_if_frozen() is also converted to take @css instead of @cgroup for consistency. This will make the code look simpler too once iterators are converted to use css. * memory/vmpressure: mem_cgroup_from_css() needs to be exported to vmpressure while mem_cgroup_from_cont() can be made static. Updated accordingly. * cpu: cgroup_tg() doesn't have any user left. Removed. * cpuacct: cgroup_ca() doesn't have any user left. Removed. * hugetlb: hugetlb_cgroup_form_cgroup() doesn't have any user left. Removed. * net_cls: cgrp_cls_state() doesn't have any user left. Removed.

This in turn means that cgroup_css() should be synchronized and may return NULL, making it more cumbersome to use. * Differing levels of per-subsystem granularity in the unified hierarchy means that the task and descendant iterators should behave differently depending on the specific subsystem the iteration is being performed for. * In majority of the cases, subsystems only care about its part in the cgroup hierarchy - ie. the hierarchy of css's. Subsystem methods often obtain the matching css pointer from the cgroup and don't bother with the cgroup pointer itself. Passing around css fits much better. This patch converts all cgroup_subsys methods to take @css instead of @cgroup. The conversions are mostly straight-forward. A few noteworthy changes are * ->css_alloc() now takes css of the parent cgroup rather than the pointer to the new cgroup as the css for the new cgroup doesn't exist yet. Knowing the parent css is enough for all the existing subsystems. * In kernel/cgroup.c::offline_css(), unnecessary open coded css dereference is replaced with local variable access. This patch shouldn't cause any behavior differences. v2: Unnecessary explicit cgrp->subsys[] deref in css_online() replaced with local variable @css as suggested by Li Zefan. Rebased on top of new for-3.12 which includes for-3.11-fixes so that ->css_free() invocation added by da0a12caff ("cgroup: fix a leak when percpu_ref_init() fails") is converted too.

This patch implements css_parent() which, given a css, returns its parent. The function is guarnateed to valid non-NULL parent css as long as the target css is not at the top of the hierarchy. freezer, cpuset, cpu, cpuacct, hugetlb, memory, net_cls and devices are converted to use css_parent() instead of accessing cgroup->parent directly. * __parent_ca() is dropped from cpuacct and its usage is replaced with parent_ca(). The only difference between the two was NULL test on cgroup->parent which is now embedded in css_parent() making the distinction moot. Note that eventually a css->parent field will be added to css and the NULL check in css_parent() will go away. This patch shouldn't cause any behavior differences.

Subsystems either use container_of() directly to cast from css to such data structure or has an accessor function wrapping such cast. As cgroup as whole is moving towards using css as the main interface handle, add and update such accessors to ease dealing with css's. All accessors explicitly handle NULL input and return NULL in those cases. While this looks like an extra branch in the code, as all controllers specific data structures have css as the first field, the casting doesn't involve any offsetting and the compiler can trivially optimize out the branch. * blkio, freezer, cpuset, cpu, cpuacct and net_cls didn't have such accessor.

We're about to revamp large portion of cgroup API, so, let's rename them so that they're less awkward. Most per-controller usages of the accessors are localized in accessor wrappers and given the amount of scheduled changes, this isn't gonna add any noticeable headache.
