sched/cputime: Fix prev steal time accouting during CPU hotplug

2016-10-07T13:21:18+00:00

commit 3d89e5478bf550a50c99e93adf659369798263b0 upstream. Commit: e9532e69b8d1 ("sched/cputime: Fix steal time accounting vs. CPU hotplug") ... set rq->prev_* to 0 after a CPU hotplug comes back, in order to fix the case where (after CPU hotplug) steal time is smaller than rq->prev_steal_time. However, this should never happen. Steal time was only smaller because of the KVM-specific bug fixed by the previous patch. Worse, the previous patch triggers a bug on CPU hot-unplug/plug operation: because rq->prev_steal_time is cleared, all of the CPU's past steal time will be accounted again on hot-plug. Since the root cause has been fixed, we can just revert commit e9532e69b8d1.

sched/core: Fix a race between try_to_wake_up() and a woken up task

2016-09-24T08:09:36+00:00

commit 135e8c9250dd5c8c9aae5984fde6f230d0cbfeaf upstream. The origin of the issue I've seen is related to a missing memory barrier between check for task->state and the check for task->on_rq. The task being woken up is already awake from a schedule() and is doing the following: do { schedule() set_current_state(TASK_(UN)INTERRUPTIBLE); } while (!cond); The waker, actually gets stuck doing the following in try_to_wake_up(): while (p->on_cpu) cpu_relax(); Analysis: The instance I've seen involves the following race: CPU1 CPU2 while () { if (cond) break; do { schedule(); set_current_state(TASK_UN..) } while (!cond); wakeup_routine() spin_lock_irqsave(wait_lock) raw_spin_lock_irqsave(wait_lock) wake_up_process() } try_to_wake_up() set_current_state(TASK_RUNNING); .. list_del(&waiter.list); CPU2 wakes up CPU1, but before it can get the wait_lock and set current state to TASK_RUNNING the following occurs: CPU3 wakeup_routine() raw_spin_lock_irqsave(wait_lock) if (!list_empty) wake_up_process() try_to_wake_up() raw_spin_lock_irqsave(p->pi_lock) .. if (p->on_rq && ttwu_wakeup()) .. while (p->on_cpu) cpu_relax() .. CPU3 tries to wake up the task on CPU1 again since it finds it on the wait_queue, CPU1 is spinning on wait_lock, but immediately after CPU2, CPU3 got it. CPU3 checks the state of p on CPU1, it is TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE and the task is spinning on the wait_lock. Interestingly since p->on_rq is checked under pi_lock, I've noticed that try_to_wake_up() finds p->on_rq to be 0. This was the most confusing bit of the analysis, but p->on_rq is changed under runqueue lock, rq_lock, the p->on_rq check is not reliable without this fix IMHO. The race is visible (based on the analysis) only when ttwu_queue() does a remote wakeup via ttwu_queue_remote. In which case the p->on_rq change is not done uder the pi_lock. The result is that after a while the entire system locks up on the raw_spin_irqlock_save(wait_lock) and the holder spins infintely Reproduction of the issue: The issue can be reproduced after a long run on my system with 80 threads and having to tweak available memory to very low and running memory stress-ng mmapfork test. It usually takes a long time to reproduce. I am trying to work on a test case that can reproduce the issue faster, but thats work in progress. I am still testing the changes on my still in a loop and the tests seem OK thus far. Big thanks to Benjamin and Nick for helping debug this as well. Ben helped catch the missing barrier, Nick caught every missing bit in my theory. Signed-off-by: Balbir Singh [ Updated comment to clarify matching barriers.

sched/core: Correct off by one bug in load migration calculation

2016-07-13T12:58:20+00:00

The move of calc_load_migrate() from CPU_DEAD to CPU_DYING did not take into account that the function is now called from a thread running on the outgoing CPU. As a result a cpu unplug leakes a load of 1 into the global load accounting mechanism. Fix it by adjusting for the currently running thread which calls calc_load_migrate().

sched/core: Allow kthreads to fall back to online && !active cpus

2016-06-24T06:26:53+00:00

During CPU hotplug, CPU_ONLINE callbacks are run while the CPU is online but not active. A CPU_ONLINE callback may create or bind a kthread so that its cpus_allowed mask only allows the CPU which is being brought online. The kthread may start executing before the CPU is made active and can end up in select_fallback_rq(). In such cases, the expected behavior is selecting the CPU which is coming online; however, because select_fallback_rq() only chooses from active CPUs, it determines that the task doesn't have any viable CPU in its allowed mask and ends up overriding it to cpu_possible_mask. CPU_ONLINE callbacks should be able to put kthreads on the CPU which is coming online. Update select_fallback_rq() so that it follows cpu_online() rather than cpu_active() for kthreads.

kernel/sysrq, watchdog, sched/core: Reset watchdog on all CPUs while processing sysrq-w

2016-06-14T10:48:38+00:00

Lengthy output of sysrq-w may take a lot of time on slow serial console. Currently we reset NMI-watchdog on the current CPU to avoid spurious lockup messages. Sometimes this doesn't work since softlockup watchdog might trigger on another CPU which is waiting for an IPI to proceed. We reset softlockup watchdogs on all CPUs, but we do this only after listing all tasks, and this may be too late on a busy system. So, reset watchdogs CPUs earlier, in for_each_process_thread() loop.

Merge branch 'stacking-fixes' (vfs stacking fixes from Jann)

2016-06-10T19:10:02+00:00

Merge filesystem stacking fixes from Jann Horn. * emailed patches from Jann Horn : sched: panic on corrupted stack end ecryptfs: forbid opening files without mmap handler proc: prevent stacking filesystems on top

sched: panic on corrupted stack end

2016-06-10T19:09:43+00:00

Until now, hitting this BUG_ON caused a recursive oops (because oops handling involves do_exit(), which calls into the scheduler, which in turn raises an oops), which caused stuff below the stack to be overwritten until a panic happened (e.g. via an oops in interrupt context, caused by the overwritten CPU index in the thread_info). Just panic directly. Signed-off-by: Jann Horn Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

Changing jump_label_init() to be called earlier before parse_early_param() wouldn't fix it: it would still fail trying to poke_text() because mm isn't yet initialized. Instead, just create a temporary '__sched_schedstats' variable which can be copied to the static key later during sched_init() after jump labels have been initialized.

sched/core: Fix remote wakeups

2016-05-25T06:35:18+00:00

Commit: b5179ac70de8 ("sched/fair: Prepare to fix fairness problems on migration") ... introduced a bug: Mike Galbraith found that it introduced a performance regression, while Paul E. McKenney reported lost wakeups and bisected it to this commit. The reason is that I mis-read ttwu_queue() such that I assumed any wakeup that got a remote queue must have had the task migrated. Since this is not so; we need to transfer this information between queueing the wakeup and actually doing the wakeup. Use a new task_struct::sched_flag for this, we already write to sched_contributes_to_load in the wakeup path so this is a hot and modified cacheline. Reported-by: Paul E.
