Commit 201c373e8e ("sched/debug: Limit sd->*_idx range on sysctl") was an incomplete bug fix. This patch fixes sd->*_idx limit range to [0 ~ CPU_LOAD_IDX_MAX-1] avoiding array overflow caused by setting sd->*_idx to CPU_LOAD_IDX_MAX on sysctl.

2013-03-21sched: Convert BUG_ON()s in try_to_wake_up_local() to WARN_ON_ONCE()sTejun Heo
try_to_wake_up_local() should only be invoked to wake up another task in the same runqueue and BUG_ON()s are used to enforce the rule. Missing try_to_wake_up_local() can stall workqueue execution but such stalls are likely to be finite either by another work item being queued or the one blocked getting unblocked. There's no reason to trigger BUG while holding rq lock crashing the whole system. Convert BUG_ON()s in try_to_wake_up_local() to WARN_ON_ONCE()s.

2013-02-27hlist: drop the node parameter from iteratorsSasha Levin
I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member) The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter: hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member) Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate. Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required: - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones. - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this was modified to use 'obj->member' instead. - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator properly, so those had to be fixed up manually. The semantic patch which is mostly the work of Peter Senna Tschudin is here: @@ iterator name hlist_for_each_entry, hlist_for_each_entry_continue, hlist_for_each_entry_from, hlist_for_each_entry_rcu, hlist_for_each_entry_rcu_bh, hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu_bh, for_each_busy_worker, ax25_uid_for_each, ax25_for_each, inet_bind_bucket_for_each, sctp_for_each_hentry, sk_for_each, sk_for_each_rcu, sk_for_each_from, sk_for_each_safe, sk_for_each_bound, hlist_for_each_entry_safe, hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu, nr_neigh_for_each, nr_neigh_for_each_safe, nr_node_for_each, nr_node_for_each_safe, for_each_gfn_indirect_valid_sp, for_each_gfn_sp, for_each_host; type T; expression a,c,d,e; identifier b; statement S; @@ -T b; <+... when != b ( hlist_for_each_entry(a, - b, c, d) S | hlist_for_each_entry_continue(a, - b, c) S | hlist_for_each_entry_from(a, - b, c) S | hlist_for_each_entry_rcu(a, - b, c, d) S | hlist_for_each_entry_rcu_bh(a, - b, c, d) S | hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu_bh(a, - b, c) S | for_each_busy_worker(a, c, - b, d) S | ax25_uid_for_each(a, - b, c) S | ax25_for_each(a, - b, c) S | inet_bind_bucket_for_each(a, - b, c) S | sctp_for_each_hentry(a, - b, c) S | sk_for_each(a, - b, c) S | sk_for_each_rcu(a, - b, c) S | sk_for_each_from -(a, b) +(a) S + sk_for_each_from(a) S | sk_for_each_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | sk_for_each_bound(a, - b, c) S | hlist_for_each_entry_safe(a, - b, c, d, e) S | hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu(a, - b, c) S | nr_neigh_for_each(a, - b, c) S | nr_neigh_for_each_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | nr_node_for_each(a, - b, c) S | nr_node_for_each_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | - for_each_gfn_sp(a, c, d, b) S + for_each_gfn_sp(a, c, d) S | - for_each_gfn_indirect_valid_sp(a, c, d, b) S + for_each_gfn_indirect_valid_sp(a, c, d) S | for_each_host(a, - b, c) S | for_each_host_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | for_each_mesh_entry(a, - b, c, d) S ) ...+> [akpm@linux-foundation.org: drop bogus change from net/ipv4/raw.c] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: drop bogus hunk from net/ipv6/raw.c] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: checkpatch fixes] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix warnings] [akpm@linux-foudnation.org: redo intrusive kvm changes] Tested-by: Peter Senna Tschudin <peter.senna@gmail.com> Acked-by: Paul E.

2013-02-23sched: do not use cpu_to_node() to find an offlined cpu's node.Tang Chen
If a cpu is offline, its nid will be set to -1, and cpu_to_node(cpu) will return -1. As a result, cpumask_of_node(nid) will return NULL. In this case, find_next_bit() in for_each_cpu will get a NULL pointer and cause panic. Here is a call trace: Call Trace: <IRQ> select_fallback_rq+0x71/0x190 try_to_wake_up+0x2cb/0x2f0 wake_up_process+0x15/0x20 hrtimer_wakeup+0x22/0x30 __run_hrtimer+0x83/0x320 hrtimer_interrupt+0x106/0x280 smp_apic_timer_interrupt+0x69/0x99 apic_timer_interrupt+0x6f/0x80 There is a hrtimer process sleeping, whose cpu has already been offlined. When it is waken up, it tries to find another cpu to run, and get a -1 nid. As a result, cpumask_of_node(-1) returns NULL, and causes ernel panic. This patch fixes this problem by judging if the nid is -1. If nid is not -1, a cpu on the same node will be picked. Else, a online cpu on another node will be picked.

Pull workqueue changes from Tejun Heo: "A lot of reorganization is going on mostly to prepare for worker pools with custom attributes so that workqueue can replace custom pool implementations in places including writeback and btrfs and make CPU assignment in crypto more flexible. workqueue evolved from purely per-cpu design and implementation, so there are a lot of assumptions regarding being bound to CPUs and even unbound workqueues are implemented as an extension of the model - workqueues running on the special unbound CPU. Bulk of changes this round are about promoting worker_pools as the top level abstraction replacing global_cwq (global cpu workqueue). At this point, I'm fairly confident about getting custom worker pools working pretty soon and ready for the next merge window. Lai's patches are replacing the convoluted mb() dancing workqueue has been doing with much simpler mechanism which only depends on assignment atomicity of long. For details, please read the commit message of 0b3dae68ac ("workqueue: simplify is-work-item-queued-here test"). While the change ends up adding one pointer to struct delayed_work, the inflation in percentage is less than five percent and it decouples delayed_work logic a lot more cleaner from usual work handling, removes the unusual memory barrier dancing, and allows for further simplification, so I think the trade-off is acceptable. There will be two more workqueue related pull requests and there are some shared commits among them. I'll write further pull requests assuming this pull request is pulled first." * 'for-3.9' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq: (37 commits) workqueue: un-GPL function delayed_work_timer_fn() workqueue: rename cpu_workqueue to pool_workqueue workqueue: reimplement is_chained_work() using current_wq_worker() workqueue: fix is_chained_work() regression workqueue: pick cwq instead of pool in __queue_work() workqueue: make get_work_pool_id() cheaper workqueue: move nr_running into worker_pool workqueue: cosmetic update in try_to_grab_pending() workqueue: simplify is-work-item-queued-here test workqueue: make work->data point to pool after try_to_grab_pending() workqueue: add delayed_work->wq to simplify reentrancy handling workqueue: make work_busy() test WORK_STRUCT_PENDING first workqueue: replace WORK_CPU_NONE/LAST with WORK_CPU_END workqueue: post global_cwq removal cleanups workqueue: rename nr_running variables workqueue: remove global_cwq workqueue: remove worker_pool->gcwq workqueue: replace for_each_worker_pool() with for_each_std_worker_pool() workqueue: make freezing/thawing per-pool workqueue: make hotplug processing per-pool ...
2013-02-15sched: add wait_for_completion_io[_timeout]Vladimir Davydov
The only difference between wait_for_completion[_timeout]() and wait_for_completion_io[_timeout]() is that the latter calls io_schedule_timeout() instead of schedule_timeout() so that the caller is accounted as waiting for IO, not just sleeping. These functions can be used for correct iowait time accounting when the completion struct is actually used for waiting for IO (e.g. completion of a bio request in the block layer).

Now we are preparing to implement full dynticks capability on Linux for Real Time and HPC users who want full CPU isolation. This feature requires a cputime accounting that doesn't depend on the timer tick. To implement it, this new cputime infrastructure plugs into kernel/user/guest boundaries to take snapshots of cputime and flush these to the stats when needed. This performs pretty much like CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING except that context location and cputime snaphots are synchronized between write and read side such that the latter can safely retrieve the pending tickless cputime of a task and add it to its latest cputime snapshot to return the correct result to the user."

Its values may be those of the last kernel <-> user transition time snapshot and we need to add the tickless time spent since this snapshot.

This is a preparaton for later patches. - What do we gain from cpu_cgroup_css_online(): After ss->css_alloc() and before ss->css_online(), there's a small window that tg->css.cgroup is NULL. With this change, tg won't be seen before ss->css_online(), where it's added to the global list, so we're guaranteed we'll never see NULL tg->css.cgroup. - What do we gain from cpu_cgroup_css_offline(): tg is freed via RCU, so is cgroup. Without this change, This is how synchronization works: cgroup_rmdir() no ss->css_offline() diput() syncornize_rcu() ss->css_free() <-- unregister tg, and free it via call_rcu() kfree_rcu(cgroup) <-- wait possible refs to cgroup, and free cgroup We can't just kfree(cgroup), because tg might access tg->css.cgroup. With this change: cgroup_rmdir() ss->css_offline() <-- unregister tg diput() synchronize_rcu() <-- wait possible refs to tg and cgroup ss->css_free() <-- free tg kfree_rcu(cgroup) <-- free cgroup As you see, kfree_rcu() is redundant now.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace Pull user namespace changes from Eric Biederman: "While small this set of changes is very significant with respect to containers in general and user namespaces in particular. The user space interface is now complete. This set of changes adds support for unprivileged users to create user namespaces and as a user namespace root to create other namespaces. The tyranny of supporting suid root preventing unprivileged users from using cool new kernel features is broken. This set of changes completes the work on setns, adding support for the pid, user, mount namespaces. This set of changes includes a bunch of basic pid namespace cleanups/simplifications. Of particular significance is the rework of the pid namespace cleanup so it no longer requires sending out tendrils into all kinds of unexpected cleanup paths for operation. At least one case of broken error handling is fixed by this cleanup. The files under /proc/<pid>/ns/ have been converted from regular files to magic symlinks which prevents incorrect caching by the VFS, ensuring the files always refer to the namespace the process is currently using and ensuring that the ptrace_mayaccess permission checks are always applied. The files under /proc/<pid>/ns/ have been given stable inode numbers so it is now possible to see if different processes share the same namespaces. Through the David Miller's net tree are changes to relax many of the permission checks in the networking stack to allowing the user namespace root to usefully use the networking stack. Similar changes for the mount namespace and the pid namespace are coming through my tree.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mel/linux-balancenuma Pull Automatic NUMA Balancing bare-bones from Mel Gorman: "There are three implementations for NUMA balancing, this tree (balancenuma), numacore which has been developed in tip/master and autonuma which is in aa.git. In almost all respects balancenuma is the dumbest of the three because its main impact is on the VM side with no attempt to be smart about scheduling. In the interest of getting the ball rolling, it would be desirable to see this much merged for 3.8 with the view to building scheduler smarts on top and adapting the VM where required for 3.9. The most recent set of comparisons available from different people are mel: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/9/108 mingo: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/7/331 tglx: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/10/437 srikar: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/10/397 The results are a mixed bag. In my own tests, balancenuma does reasonably well. It's dumb as rocks and does not regress against mainline. On the other hand, Ingo's tests shows that balancenuma is incapable of converging for this workloads driven by perf which is bad but is potentially explained by the lack of scheduler smarts. Thomas' results show balancenuma improves on mainline but falls far short of numacore or autonuma. Srikar's results indicate we all suffer on a large machine with imbalanced node sizes. My own testing showed that recent numacore results have improved dramatically, particularly in the last week but not universally. We've butted heads heavily on system CPU usage and high levels of migration even when it shows that overall performance is better. There are also cases where it regresses. Of interest is that for specjbb in some configurations it will regress for lower numbers of warehouses and show gains for higher numbers which is not reported by the tool by default and sometimes missed in treports. Recently I reported for numacore that the JVM was crashing with NullPointerExceptions but currently it's unclear what the source of this problem is. Initially I thought it was in how numacore batch handles PTEs but I'm no longer think this is the case. It's possible numacore is just able to trigger it due to higher rates of migration. These reports were quite late in the cycle so I/we would like to start with this tree as it contains much of the code we can agree on and has not changed significantly over the last 2-3 weeks." * tag 'balancenuma-v11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mel/linux-balancenuma: (50 commits) mm/rmap, migration: Make rmap_walk_anon() and try_to_unmap_anon() more scalable mm/rmap: Convert the struct anon_vma::mutex to an rwsem mm: migrate: Account a transhuge page properly when rate limiting mm: numa: Account for failed allocations and isolations as migration failures mm: numa: Add THP migration for the NUMA working set scanning fault case build fix mm: numa: Add THP migration for the NUMA working set scanning fault case. mm: sched: numa: Delay PTE scanning until a task is scheduled on a new node mm: sched: numa: Control enabling and disabling of NUMA balancing if !SCHED_DEBUG mm: sched: numa: Control enabling and disabling of NUMA balancing mm: sched: Adapt the scanning rate if a NUMA hinting fault does not migrate mm: numa: Use a two-stage filter to restrict pages being migrated for unlikely task<->node relationships mm: numa: migrate: Set last_nid on newly allocated page mm: numa: split_huge_page: Transfer last_nid on tail page mm: numa: Introduce last_nid to the page frame sched: numa: Slowly increase the scanning period as NUMA faults are handled mm: numa: Rate limit setting of pte_numa if node is saturated mm: numa: Rate limit the amount of memory that is migrated between nodes mm: numa: Structures for Migrate On Fault per NUMA migration rate limiting mm: numa: Migrate pages handled during a pmd_numa hinting fault mm: numa: Migrate on reference policy ...

2012-12-11mm: sched: Adapt the scanning rate if a NUMA hinting fault does not migrateMel Gorman
The PTE scanning rate and fault rates are two of the biggest sources of system CPU overhead with automatic NUMA placement. Ideally a proper policy would detect if a workload was properly placed, schedule and adjust the PTE scanning rate accordingly. We do not track the necessary information to do that but we at least know if we migrated or not. This patch scans slower if a page was not migrated as the result of a NUMA hinting fault up to sysctl_numa_balancing_scan_period_max which is now higher than the previous default. Once every minute it will reset the scanner in case of phase changes. This is hilariously crude and the numbers are arbitrary. Workloads will converge quite slowly in comparison to what a proper policy should be able to do. On the plus side, we will chew up less CPU for workloads that have no need for automatic balancing.

2012-12-11mm: sched: numa: Implement slow start for working set samplingPeter Zijlstra
Add a 1 second delay before starting to scan the working set of a task and starting to balance it amongst nodes. [ note that before the constant per task WSS sampling rate patch the initial scan would happen much later still, in effect that patch caused this regression. ] The theory is that short-run tasks benefit very little from NUMA placement: they come and go, and they better stick to the node they were started on. As tasks mature and rebalance to other CPUs and nodes, so does their NUMA placement have to change and so does it start to matter more and more. In practice this change fixes an observable kbuild regression: # [ a perf stat --null --repeat 10 test of ten bzImage builds to /dev/shm ] !NUMA: 45.291088843 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.40% ) 45.154231752 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.36% ) +NUMA, no slow start: 46.172308123 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.30% ) 46.343168745 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.25% ) +NUMA, 1 sec slow start: 45.224189155 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.25% ) 45.160866532 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.17% ) and it also fixes an observable perf bench (hackbench) regression: # perf stat --null --repeat 10 perf bench sched messaging -NUMA: -NUMA: 0.246225691 seconds time elapsed ( +- 1.31% ) +NUMA no slow start: 0.252620063 seconds time elapsed ( +- 1.13% ) +NUMA 1sec delay: 0.248076230 seconds time elapsed ( +- 1.35% ) The implementation is simple and straightforward, most of the patch deals with adding the /proc/sys/kernel/numa_balancing_scan_delay_ms tunable knob.

NOTE: This patch is based on "sched, numa, mm: Add fault driven placement and migration policy" but as it throws away all the policy to just leave a basic foundation I had to drop the signed-offs-by. This patch creates a bare-bones method for setting PTEs pte_numa in the context of the scheduler that when faulted later will be faulted onto the node the CPU is running on. In itself this does nothing useful but any placement policy will fundamentally depend on receiving hints on placement from fault context and doing something intelligent about it.

2012-10-24sched: Maintain the load contribution of blocked entitiesPaul Turner
We are currently maintaining: runnable_load(cfs_rq) = \Sum task_load(t) For all running children t of cfs_rq. While this can be naturally updated for tasks in a runnable state (as they are scheduled); this does not account for the load contributed by blocked task entities. This can be solved by introducing a separate accounting for blocked load: blocked_load(cfs_rq) = \Sum runnable(b) * weight(b) Obviously we do not want to iterate over all blocked entities to account for their decay, we instead observe that: runnable_load(t) = \Sum p_i*y^i and that to account for an additional idle period we only need to compute: y*runnable_load(t). This means that we can compute all blocked entities at once by evaluating: blocked_load(cfs_rq)` = y * blocked_load(cfs_rq) Finally we maintain a decay counter so that when a sleeping entity re-awakens we can determine how much of its load should be removed from the blocked sum.

2012-10-24sched: Track the runnable average on a per-task entity basisPaul Turner
Instead of tracking averaging the load parented by a cfs_rq, we can track entity load directly. With the load for a given cfs_rq then being the sum of its children. To do this we represent the historical contribution to runnable average within each trailing 1024us of execution as the coefficients of a geometric series. We can express this for a given task t as: runnable_sum(t) = \Sum u_i * y^i, runnable_avg_period(t) = \Sum 1024 * y^i load(t) = weight_t * runnable_sum(t) / runnable_avg_period(t) Where: u_i is the usage in the last i`th 1024us period (approximately 1ms) ~ms and y is chosen such that y^k = 1/2.

Unfortunately, a number of architectures do not implement trigger_all_cpu_backtrace(), in which case RCU falls back to just dumping the stack of the running CPU. This is unhelpful in the case where the running CPU has detected that some other CPU has stalled. This commit therefore makes the running CPU dump the stacks of the tasks running on the stalled CPUs.

2012-10-05sched: Update sched_domains_numa_masks[][] when new cpus are onlinedTang Chen
Once array sched_domains_numa_masks[] []is defined, it is never updated. When a new cpu on a new node is onlined, the coincident member in sched_domains_numa_masks[][] is not initialized, and all the masks are 0. As a result, the build_overlap_sched_groups() will initialize a NULL sched_group for the new cpu on the new node, which will lead to kernel panic: [ 3189.403280] Call Trace: [ 3189.403286] [<ffffffff8106c36f>] warn_slowpath_common+0x7f/0xc0 [ 3189.403289] [<ffffffff8106c3ca>] warn_slowpath_null+0x1a/0x20 [ 3189.403292] [<ffffffff810b1d57>] build_sched_domains+0x467/0x470 [ 3189.403296] [<ffffffff810b2067>] partition_sched_domains+0x307/0x510 [ 3189.403299] [<ffffffff810b1ea2>] ? partition_sched_domains+0x142/0x510 [ 3189.403305] [<ffffffff810fcc93>] cpuset_update_active_cpus+0x83/0x90 [ 3189.403308] [<ffffffff810b22a8>] cpuset_cpu_active+0x38/0x70 [ 3189.403316] [<ffffffff81674b87>] notifier_call_chain+0x67/0x150 [ 3189.403320] [<ffffffff81664647>] ? native_cpu_up+0x18a/0x1b5 [ 3189.403328] [<ffffffff810a044e>] __raw_notifier_call_chain+0xe/0x10 [ 3189.403333] [<ffffffff81070470>] __cpu_notify+0x20/0x40 [ 3189.403337] [<ffffffff8166663e>] _cpu_up+0xe9/0x131 [ 3189.403340] [<ffffffff81666761>] cpu_up+0xdb/0xee [ 3189.403348] [<ffffffff8165667c>] store_online+0x9c/0xd0 [ 3189.403355] [<ffffffff81437640>] dev_attr_store+0x20/0x30 [ 3189.403361] [<ffffffff8124aa63>] sysfs_write_file+0xa3/0x100 [ 3189.403368] [<ffffffff811ccbe0>] vfs_write+0xd0/0x1a0 [ 3189.403371] [<ffffffff811ccdb4>] sys_write+0x54/0xa0 [ 3189.403375] [<ffffffff81679c69>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b [ 3189.403377] ---[ end trace 1e6cf85d0859c941 ]--- [ 3189.403398] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000018 This patch registers a new notifier for cpu hotplug notify chain, and updates sched_domains_numa_masks every time a new cpu is onlined or offlined.

2012-10-05sched: Ensure 'sched_domains_numa_levels' is safe to use in other functionsTang Chen
We should temporarily reset 'sched_domains_numa_levels' to 0 after it is reset to 'level' in sched_init_numa(). If it fails to allocate memory for array sched_domains_numa_masks[][], the array will contain less then 'level' members. This could be dangerous when we use it to iterate array sched_domains_numa_masks[][] in other functions. This patch set sched_domains_numa_levels to 0 before initializing array sched_domains_numa_masks[][], and reset it to 'level' when sched_domains_numa_masks[][] is fully initialized.

Make default just return 0. The current default (checking TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG) is taken to architectures that need it; ones that don't do polling in their idle threads don't need to defined TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG at all. ia64 defined both TS_POLLING (used by its tsk_is_polling()) and TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG (not used at all). Killed the latter... Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
