* [PATCH] introduce TASK_DEAD stateOleg Nesterov2006-09-291-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I am not sure about this patch, I am asking Ingo to take a decision. task_struct->state == EXIT_DEAD is a very special case, to avoid a confusion it makes sense to introduce a new state, TASK_DEAD, while EXIT_DEAD should live only in ->exit_state as documented in sched.h. Note that this state is not visible to user-space, get_task_state() masks off unsuitable states.

* [PATCH] set EXIT_DEAD state in do_exit(), not in schedule()Oleg Nesterov2006-09-291-3/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | schedule() checks PF_DEAD on every context switch and sets ->state = EXIT_DEAD to ensure that the exiting task will be deactivated. Note that this EXIT_DEAD is in fact a "random" value, we can use any bit except normal TASK_XXX values. It is better to set this state in do_exit() along with PF_DEAD flag and remove that check in schedule(). We are safe wrt concurrent try_to_wake_up() (for example ptrace, tkill), it can not change task's ->state: the 'state' argument of try_to_wake_up() can't have EXIT_DEAD bit. And in case when try_to_wake_up() sees a stale value of ->state == TASK_RUNNING it will do nothing.

* [PATCH] sched_setscheduler: fix? policy checksOleg Nesterov2006-09-291-20/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I am not sure this patch is correct: I can't understand what the current code does, and I don't know what it was supposed to do. The comment says: * can't change policy, except between SCHED_NORMAL * and SCHED_BATCH: The code: if (((policy != SCHED_NORMAL && p->policy != SCHED_BATCH) && (policy != SCHED_BATCH && p->policy != SCHED_NORMAL)) && But this is equivalent to: if ( (is_rt_policy(policy) && has_rt_policy(p)) && which means something different. We can't _decrease_ the current ->rt_priority with such a check (if rlim[RLIMIT_RTPRIO] == 0). Probably, it was supposed to be: if ( !(policy == SCHED_NORMAL && p->policy == SCHED_BATCH) && !(policy == SCHED_BATCH && p->policy == SCHED_NORMAL) this matches the comment, but strange: it doesn't allow to _drop_ the realtime priority when rlim[RLIMIT_RTPRIO] == 0. I think the right check would be: /* can't set/change rt policy */ if (is_rt_policy(policy) && policy != p->policy && !rlim_rtprio) return -EPERM; Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Nick Piggin <nickpiggin@yahoo.com.au> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

* [PATCH] Fix longstanding load balancing bug in the schedulerChristoph Lameter2006-09-261-8/+46
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The scheduler will stop load balancing if the most busy processor contains processes pinned via processor affinity. The scheduler currently only does one search for busiest cpu. If it cannot pull any tasks away from the busiest cpu because they were pinned then the scheduler goes into a corner and sulks leaving the idle processors idle. F.e. If you have processor 0 busy running four tasks pinned via taskset, there are none on processor 1 and one just started two processes on processor 2 then the scheduler will not move one of the two processes away from processor 2. This patch fixes that issue by forcing the scheduler to come out of its corner and retrying the load balancing by considering other processors for load balancing. This patch was originally developed by John Hawkes and discussed at http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=113901368523205&w=2. I have removed extraneous material and gone back to equipping struct rq with the cpu the queue is associated with since this makes the patch much easier and it is likely that others in the future will have the same difficulty of figuring out which processor owns which runqueue. The overhead added through these patches is a single word on the stack if the kernel is configured to support 32 cpus or less (32 bit). For 32 bit environments the maximum number of cpus that can be configued is 255 which would result in the use of 32 bytes additional on the stack. On IA64 up to 1k cpus can be configured which will result in the use of 128 additional bytes on the stack. The maximum additional cache footprint is one cacheline. Typically memory use will be much less than a cacheline and the additional cpumask will be placed on the stack in a cacheline that already contains other local variable.

* [PATCH] lockdep: core, fix rq-lock handling on __ARCH_WANT_UNLOCKED_CTXSWIngo Molnar2006-07-141-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On platforms that have __ARCH_WANT_UNLOCKED_CTXSW set and want to implement lock validator support there's a bug in rq->lock handling: in this case we dont 'carry over' the runqueue lock into another task - but still we did a spinlock_release() of it. Fix this by making the spinlock_release() in context_switch() dependent on !__ARCH_WANT_UNLOCKED_CTXSW. (Reported by Ralf Baechle on MIPS, which has __ARCH_WANT_UNLOCKED_CTXSW. This fixes a lockdep-internal BUG message on such platforms.)

* [PATCH] sched: fix bug in __migrate_task()Peter Williams2006-07-101-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Problem: In the function __migrate_task(), deactivate_task() followed by activate_task() is used to move the task from one run queue to another. This has two undesirable effects: 1. The task's priority is recalculated. (Nowhere else in the scheduler code is the priority recalculated for a change of CPU.) 2. The task's time stamp is set to the current time. At the very least, this makes the adjustment of the time stamp before the call to deactivate_task() redundant but I believe the problem is more serious as the time stamp now holds the time of the queue change instead of the time at which the task was woken. In addition, unless dest_rq is the same queue as "current" is on the time stamp could be inaccurate due to inter CPU drift. Solution: Replace the call to activate_task() with one to __activate_task().

There's no separate 'held mutexes' list anymore - but there's a 'held locks' stack within lockdep, which unifies deadlock detection across all lock classes. (this is independent of the lockdep validation stuff - lockdep first checks whether we are holding a lock already) Here are the current debugging options: CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES=y CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=y which do: config DEBUG_MUTEXES bool "Mutex debugging, basic checks" config DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC bool "Detect incorrect freeing of live mutexes" Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* [PATCH] cond_resched() fixAndrew Morton2006-06-301-12/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix a bug identified by Zou Nan hai <nanhai.zou@intel.com>: If the system is in state SYSTEM_BOOTING, and need_resched() is true, cond_resched() returns true even though it didn't reschedule. Consequently need_resched() remains true and JBD locks up. Fix that by teaching cond_resched() to only return true if it really did call schedule(). cond_resched_lock() and cond_resched_softirq() have a problem too. If we're in SYSTEM_BOOTING state and need_resched() is true, these functions will drop the lock and will then try to call schedule(), but the SYSTEM_BOOTING state will prevent schedule() from being called. So on return, need_resched() will still be true, but cond_resched_lock() has to return 1 to tell the caller that the lock was dropped. The caller will probably lock up. Bottom line: if these functions dropped the lock, they _must_ call schedule() to clear need_resched(). Make it so. Also, uninline __cond_resched(). It's largeish, and slowpath.

* [PATCH] sched: Avoid unnecessarily moving highest priority task move_tasks()Peter Williams2006-06-271-5/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Problem: To help distribute high priority tasks evenly across the available CPUs move_tasks() does not, under some circumstances, skip tasks whose load weight is bigger than the designated amount. Because the highest priority task on the busiest queue may be on the expired array it may be moved as a result of this mechanism. Apart from not being the most desirable way to redistribute the high priority tasks (we'd rather move the second highest priority task), there is a risk that this could set up a loop with this task bouncing backwards and forwards between the two queues. (This latter possibility can be demonstrated by running a nice==-20 CPU bound task on an otherwise quiet 2 CPU system.) Solution: Modify the mechanism so that it does not override skip for the highest priority task on the CPU. Of course, if there are more than one tasks at the highest priority then it will allow the override for one of them as this is a desirable redistribution of high priority tasks.

* [PATCH] sched: modify move_tasks() to improve load balancing outcomesPeter Williams2006-06-271-2/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Problem: The move_tasks() function is designed to move UP TO the amount of load it is asked to move and in doing this it skips over tasks looking for ones whose load weights are less than or equal to the remaining load to be moved. This is (in general) a good thing but it has the unfortunate result of breaking one of the original load balancer's good points: namely, that (within the limits imposed by the active/expired array model and the fact the expired is processed first) it moves high priority tasks before low priority ones and this means there's a good chance (see active/expired problem for why it's only a chance) that the highest priority task on the queue but not actually on the CPU will be moved to the other CPU where (as a high priority task) it may preempt the current task. Solution: Modify move_tasks() so that high priority tasks are not skipped when moving them will make them the highest priority task on their new run queue.

For the sake of argument suppose that on a single CPU machine with a nice==19 hard spinner and a nice==0 hard spinner running that the nice==0 task gets 95% of the CPU and the nice==19 task gets 5% of the CPU. Now suppose that there is a system with 2 CPUs and 2 nice==19 hard spinners and 2 nice==0 hard spinners running. The user of this system would be entitled to expect that the nice==0 tasks each get 95% of a CPU and the nice==19 tasks only get 5% each. However, whether this expectation is met is pretty much down to luck as there are four equally likely distributions of the tasks to the CPUs that the load balancing code will consider to be balanced with loads of 2.0 for each CPU. Two of these distributions involve one nice==0 and one nice==19 task per CPU and in these circumstances the users expectations will be met. The other two distributions both involve both nice==0 tasks being on one CPU and both nice==19 being on the other CPU and each task will get 50% of a CPU and the user's expectations will not be met. Solution: The solution to this problem that is implemented in the attached patch is to use weighted loads when determining if the system is balanced and, when an imbalance is detected, to move an amount of weighted load between run queues (as opposed to a number of tasks) to restore the balance. Once again, the easiest way to explain why both of these measures are necessary is to use a simple example. Suppose that (in a slight variation of the above example) that we have a two CPU system with 4 nice==0 and 4 nice=19 hard spinning tasks running and that the 4 nice==0 tasks are on one CPU and the 4 nice==19 tasks are on the other CPU. The weighted loads for the two CPUs would be 4.0 and 0.2 respectively and the load balancing code would move 2 tasks resulting in one CPU with a load of 2.0 and the other with load of 2.2. If this was considered to be a big enough imbalance to justify moving a task and that task was moved using the current move_tasks() then it would move the highest priority task that it found and this would result in one CPU with a load of 3.0 and the other with a load of 1.2 which would result in the movement of a task in the opposite direction and so on -- infinite loop. If, on the other hand, an amount of load to be moved is calculated from the imbalance (in this case 0.1) and move_tasks() skips tasks until it find ones whose contributions to the weighted load are less than this amount it would move two of the nice==19 tasks resulting in a system with 2 nice==0 and 2 nice=19 on each CPU with loads of 2.1 for each CPU. One of the advantages of this mechanism is that on a system where all tasks have nice==0 the load balancing calculations would be mathematically identical to the current load balancing code. Notes: struct task_struct: has a new field load_weight which (in a trade off of space for speed) stores the contribution that this task makes to a CPU's weighted load when it is runnable. struct runqueue: has a new field raw_weighted_load which is the sum of the load_weight values for the currently runnable tasks on this run queue. This field always needs to be updated when nr_running is updated so two new inline functions inc_nr_running() and dec_nr_running() have been created to make sure that this happens. This also offers a convenient way to optimize away this part of the smpnice mechanism when CONFIG_SMP is not defined. int try_to_wake_up(): in this function the value SCHED_LOAD_BALANCE is used to represent the load contribution of a single task in various calculations in the code that decides which CPU to put the waking task on. While this would be a valid on a system where the nice values for the runnable tasks were distributed evenly around zero it will lead to anomalous load balancing if the distribution is skewed in either direction. To overcome this problem SCHED_LOAD_SCALE has been replaced by the load_weight for the relevant task or by the average load_weight per task for the queue in question (as appropriate). int move_tasks(): The modifications to this function were complicated by the fact that active_load_balance() uses it to move exactly one task without checking whether an imbalance actually exists. This precluded the simple overloading of max_nr_move with max_load_move and necessitated the addition of the latter as an extra argument to the function. The internal implementation is then modified to move up to max_nr_move tasks and max_load_move of weighted load. This slightly complicates the code where move_tasks() is called and if ever active_load_balance() is changed to not use move_tasks() the implementation of move_tasks() should be simplified accordingly. struct sched_group *find_busiest_group(): Similar to try_to_wake_up(), there are places in this function where SCHED_LOAD_SCALE is used to represent the load contribution of a single task and the same issues are created. A similar solution is adopted except that it is now the average per task contribution to a group's load (as opposed to a run queue) that is required. As this value is not directly available from the group it is calculated on the fly as the queues in the groups are visited when determining the busiest group. A key change to this function is that it is no longer to scale down *imbalance on exit as move_tasks() uses the load in its scaled form. void set_user_nice(): has been modified to update the task's load_weight field when it's nice value and also to ensure that its run queue's raw_weighted_load field is updated if it was runnable. From: "Siddha, Suresh B" <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com> With smpnice, sched groups with highest priority tasks can mask the imbalance between the other sched groups with in the same domain. This patch fixes some of the listed down scenarios by not considering the sched groups which are lightly loaded. a) on a simple 4-way MP system, if we have one high priority and 4 normal priority tasks, with smpnice we would like to see the high priority task scheduled on one cpu, two other cpus getting one normal task each and the fourth cpu getting the remaining two normal tasks. but with current smpnice extra normal priority task keeps jumping from one cpu to another cpu having the normal priority task. This is because of the busiest_has_loaded_cpus, nr_loaded_cpus logic.. We are not including the cpu with high priority task in max_load calculations but including that in total and avg_load calcuations.. leading to max_load < avg_load and load balance between cpus running normal priority tasks(2 Vs 1) will always show imbalanace as one normal priority and the extra normal priority task will keep moving from one cpu to another cpu having normal priority task.. b) 4-way system with HT (8 logical processors). Package-P0 T0 has a highest priority task, T1 is idle. Package-P1 Both T0 and T1 have 1 normal priority task each.. P2 and P3 are idle. With this patch, one of the normal priority tasks on P1 will be moved to P2 or P3.. c) With the current weighted smp nice calculations, it doesn't always make sense to look at the highest weighted runqueue in the busy group.. Consider a load balance scenario on a DP with HT system, with Package-0 containing one high priority and one low priority, Package-1 containing one low priority(with other thread being idle).. Package-1 thinks that it need to take the low priority thread from Package-0. And find_busiest_queue() returns the cpu thread with highest priority task.. And ultimately(with help of active load balance) we move high priority task to Package-1. And same continues with Package-0 now, moving high priority task from package-1 to package-0.. Even without the presence of active load balance, load balance will fail to balance the above scenario.. Fix find_busiest_queue to use "imbalance" when it is lightly loaded.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Initial report and lock contention fix from Chris Mason: Recent benchmarks showed some performance regressions between 2.6.16 and 2.6.5. We tracked down one of the regressions to lock contention in schedule heavy workloads (~70,000 context switches per second) kernel/sched.c:dependent_sleeper() was responsible for most of the lock contention, hammering on the run queue locks. The patch below is more of a discussion point than a suggested fix (although it does reduce lock contention significantly). The dependent_sleeper code looks very expensive to me, especially for using a spinlock to bounce control between two different siblings in the same cpu. It is further optimized: * perform dependent_sleeper check after next task is determined * convert wake_sleeping_dependent to use trylock * skip smt runqueue check if trylock fails * optimize double_rq_lock now that smt nice is converted to trylock * early exit in searching first SD_SHARE_CPUPOWER domain * speedup fast path of dependent_sleeper [akpm@osdl.org: cleanup] Signed-off-by: Ken Chen <kenneth.w.chen@intel.com> Acked-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Acked-by: Con Kolivas <kernel@kolivas.org> Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Acked-by: Chris Mason <mason@suse.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are several instances of per_cpu(foo, raw_smp_processor_id()), which is semantically equivalent to __get_cpu_var(foo) but without the warning that smp_processor_id() can give if CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT is enabled. For those architectures with optimized per-cpu implementations, namely ia64, powerpc, s390, sparc64 and x86_64, per_cpu() turns into more and slower code than __get_cpu_var(), so it would be preferable to use __get_cpu_var on those platforms. This defines a __raw_get_cpu_var(x) macro which turns into per_cpu(x, raw_smp_processor_id()) on architectures that use the generic per-cpu implementation, and turns into __get_cpu_var(x) on the architectures that have an optimized per-cpu implementation.
