2013-10-29sched: Fix race on toggling cfs_bandwidth_usedBen Segall1-1/+2
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. Caused crashes in minutes without the patch, hasn't crashed with it.

2013-10-16sched: Fix race in migrate_swap_stop()Peter Zijlstra1-0/+18
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.

2013-10-09sched/numa: Avoid migrating tasks that are placed on their preferred nodePeter Zijlstra1-0/+5
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.

2013-10-09sched/numa: Use {cpu, pid} to create task groups for shared faultsPeter Zijlstra1-4/+1
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.

2013-10-09sched/numa: Use a system-wide search to find swap/migration candidatesMel Gorman1-0/+13
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.

2013-10-09sched/numa: Introduce migrate_swap()Peter Zijlstra1-1/+3
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.

2013-09-20sched/balancing: Consider max cost of idle balance per sched domainJason Low1-0/+3
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.

2013-09-12sched/fair: Rewrite group_imb triggerPeter Zijlstra1-0/+1
Change the group_imb detection from the old 'load-spike' detector to an actual imbalance detector. We set it from the lower domain balance pass when it fails to create a balance in the presence of task affinities. The advantage is that this should no longer generate the false positive group_imb conditions generated by transient load spikes from the normal balancing/bulk-wakeup etc. behaviour. While I haven't actually observed those they could happen. I'm not entirely happy with this patch; it somehow feels a little fragile. Nor does it solve the biggest issue I have with the group_imb code; it it still a fragile construct in that once we 'fixed' the imbalance we'll not detect the group_imb again and could end up re-creating it. That said, this patch does seem to preserve behaviour for the described degenerate case. In particular on my 2*6*2 wsm-ep: taskset -c 3-11 bash -c 'for ((i=0;i<9;i++)) do while :; do :; done & done' ends up with 9 spinners, each on their own CPU; whereas if you disable the group_imb code that typically doesn't happen (you'll get one pair sharing a CPU most of the time).

2013-07-23sched: Move h_load calculation to task_h_load()Vladimir Davydov1-4/+3
The bad thing about update_h_load(), which computes hierarchical load factor for task groups, is that it is called for each task group in the system before every load balancer run, and since rebalance can be triggered very often, this function can eat really a lot of cpu time if there are many cpu cgroups in the system. Although the situation was improved significantly by commit a35b646 ('sched, cgroup: Reduce rq->lock hold times for large cgroup hierarchies'), the problem still can arise under some kinds of loads, e.g. when cpus are switching from idle to busy and back very frequently. For instance, when I start 1000 of processes that wake up every millisecond on my 8 cpus host, 'top' and 'perf top' show: Cpu(s): 17.8%us, 24.3%sy, 0.0%ni, 57.9%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si Events: 243K cycles 7.57% [kernel] [k] __schedule 7.08% [kernel] [k] timerqueue_add 6.13% libc-2.12.so [.] usleep Then if I create 10000 *idle* cpu cgroups (no processes in them), cpu usage increases significantly although the 'wakers' are still executing in the root cpu cgroup: Cpu(s): 19.1%us, 48.7%sy, 0.0%ni, 31.6%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.7%si Events: 230K cycles 24.56% [kernel] [k] tg_load_down 5.76% [kernel] [k] __schedule This happens because this particular kind of load triggers 'new idle' rebalance very frequently, which requires calling update_h_load(), which, in turn, calls tg_load_down() for every *idle* cpu cgroup even though it is absolutely useless, because idle cpu cgroups have no tasks to pull. This patch tries to improve the situation by making h_load calculation proceed only when h_load is really necessary. To achieve this, it substitutes update_h_load() with update_cfs_rq_h_load(), which computes h_load only for a given cfs_rq and all its ascendants, and makes the load balancer call this function whenever it considers if a task should be pulled, i.e. it moves h_load calculations directly to task_h_load(). For h_load of the same cfs_rq not to be updated multiple times (in case several tasks in the same cgroup are considered during the same balance run), the patch keeps the time of the last h_load update for each cfs_rq and breaks calculation when it finds h_load to be uptodate. The benefit of it is that h_load is computed only for those cfs_rq's, which really need it, in particular all idle task groups are skipped. Although this, in fact, moves h_load calculation under rq lock, it should not affect latency much, because the amount of work done under rq lock while trying to pull tasks is limited by sched_nr_migrate. After the patch applied with the setup described above (1000 wakers in the root cgroup and 10000 idle cgroups), I get: Cpu(s): 16.9%us, 24.8%sy, 0.0%ni, 58.4%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si Events: 242K cycles 7.57% [kernel] [k] __schedule 6.70% [kernel] [k] timerqueue_add 5.93% libc-2.12.so [.] usleep Signed-off-by: Vladimir Davydov <vdavydov@parallels.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1373896159-1278-1-git-send-email-vdavydov@parallels.com Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

2013-06-27sched: Set an initial value of runnable avg for new forked taskAlex Shi1-0/+2
We need to initialize the se.avg.{decay_count, load_avg_contrib} for a new forked task. Otherwise random values of above variables cause a mess when a new task is enqueued: enqueue_task_fair enqueue_entity enqueue_entity_load_avg and make fork balancing imbalance due to incorrect load_avg_contrib. Further more, Morten Rasmussen notice some tasks were not launched at once after created. So Paul and Peter suggest giving a start value for new task runnable avg time same as sched_slice(). PeterZ said: > So the 'problem' is that our running avg is a 'floating' average; ie. it > decays with time.

2013-05-04sched: Keep at least 1 tick per second for active dynticks tasksFrederic Weisbecker1-0/+10
The scheduler doesn't yet fully support environments with a single task running without a periodic tick. In order to ensure we still maintain the duties of scheduler_tick(), keep at least 1 tick per second. This makes sure that we keep the progression of various scheduler accounting and background maintainance even with a very low granularity. Examples include cpu load, sched average, CFS entity vruntime, avenrun and events such as load balancing, amongst other details handled in sched_class::task_tick(). This limitation will be removed in the future once we get these individual items to work in full dynticks CPUs.

2013-04-26sched: Fix init NOHZ_IDLE flagVincent Guittot1-1/+0
On my SMP platform which is made of 5 cores in 2 clusters, I have the nr_busy_cpu field of sched_group_power struct that is not null when the platform is fully idle - which makes the scheduler unhappy. The root cause is: During the boot sequence, some CPUs reach the idle loop and set their NOHZ_IDLE flag while waiting for others CPUs to boot. But the nr_busy_cpus field is initialized later with the assumption that all CPUs are in the busy state whereas some CPUs have already set their NOHZ_IDLE flag. More generally, the NOHZ_IDLE flag must be initialized when new sched_domains are created in order to ensure that NOHZ_IDLE and nr_busy_cpus are aligned. This condition can be ensured by adding a synchronize_rcu() between the destruction of old sched_domains and the creation of new ones so the NOHZ_IDLE flag will not be updated with old sched_domain once it has been initialized. But this solution introduces a additionnal latency in the rebuild sequence that is called during cpu hotplug. As suggested by Frederic Weisbecker, another solution is to have the same rcu lifecycle for both NOHZ_IDLE and sched_domain struct. A new nohz_idle field is added to sched_domain so both status and sched_domain will share the same RCU lifecycle and will be always synchronized. In addition, there is no more need to protect nohz_idle against concurrent access as it is only modified by 2 exclusive functions called by local cpu. This solution has been prefered to the creation of a new struct with an extra pointer indirection for sched_domain. The synchronization is done at the cost of : - An additional indirection and a rcu_dereference for accessing nohz_idle. - We use only the nohz_idle field of the top sched_domain.

Kick the tick on full dynticks CPUs when they get more than one task running on their queue. This makes sure that local fairness is maintained by the tick on the destination. This is done regardless of these tasks' class.

2013-04-21sched: Fix wrong rq's runnable_avg update with rt tasksVincent Guittot1-0/+12
The current update of the rq's load can be erroneous when RT tasks are involved. The update of the load of a rq that becomes idle, is done only if the avg_idle is less than sysctl_sched_migration_cost. If RT tasks and short idle duration alternate, the runnable_avg will not be updated correctly and the time will be accounted as idle time when a CFS task wakes up. A new idle_enter function is called when the next task is the idle function so the elapsed time will be accounted as run time in the load of the rq, whatever the average idle time is. The function update_rq_runnable_avg is removed from idle_balance. When a RT task is scheduled on an idle CPU, the update of the rq's load is not done when the rq exit idle state because CFS's functions are not called. Then, the idle_balance, which is called just before entering the idle function, updates the rq's load and makes the assumption that the elapsed time since the last update, was only running time. As a consequence, the rq's load of a CPU that only runs a periodic RT task, is close to LOAD_AVG_MAX whatever the running duration of the RT task is. A new idle_exit function is called when the prev task is the idle function so the elapsed time will be accounted as idle time in the rq's load.

2013-04-03nohz: Rename CONFIG_NO_HZ to CONFIG_NO_HZ_COMMONFrederic Weisbecker1-2/+2
We are planning to convert the dynticks Kconfig options layout into a choice menu. The user must be able to easily pick any of the following implementations: constant periodic tick, idle dynticks, full dynticks. As this implies a mutual exclusion, the two dynticks implementions need to converge on the selection of a common Kconfig option in order to ease the sharing of a common infrastructure. It would thus seem pretty natural to reuse CONFIG_NO_HZ to that end. It already implements all the idle dynticks code and the full dynticks depends on all that code for now. So ideally the choice menu would propose CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE and CONFIG_NO_HZ_EXTENDED then both would select CONFIG_NO_HZ. On the other hand we want to stay backward compatible: if CONFIG_NO_HZ is set in an older config file, we want to enable CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE by default. But we can't afford both at the same time or we run into a circular dependency: 1) CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE and CONFIG_NO_HZ_EXTENDED both select CONFIG_NO_HZ 2) If CONFIG_NO_HZ is set, we default to CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE We might be able to support that from Kconfig/Kbuild but it may not be wise to introduce such a confusing behaviour. So to solve this, create a new CONFIG_NO_HZ_COMMON option which gathers the common code between idle and full dynticks (that common code for now is simply the idle dynticks code) and select it from their referring Kconfig. Then we'll later create CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE and map CONFIG_NO_HZ to it for backward compatibility.

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.

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 ...

This may be trivially reverted when the information is required; but avoid paying the overhead for calculations we will not use until then.

2012-10-24sched: Replace update_shares weight distribution with per-entity computationPaul Turner1-24/+12
Now that the machinery in place is in place to compute contributed load in a bottom up fashion; replace the shares distribution code within update_shares() accordingly.

2012-10-24sched: Maintain runnable averages across throttled periodsPaul Turner1-1/+2
With bandwidth control tracked entities may cease execution according to user specified bandwidth limits. Charging this time as either throttled or blocked however, is incorrect and would falsely skew in either direction. What we actually want is for any throttled periods to be "invisible" to load-tracking as they are removed from the system for that interval and contribute normally otherwise. Do this by moderating the progression of time to omit any periods in which the entity belonged to a throttled hierarchy.

2012-10-24sched: Normalize tg load contributions against runnable timePaul Turner1-0/+2
Entities of equal weight should receive equitable distribution of cpu time. This is challenging in the case of a task_group's shares as execution may be occurring on multiple cpus simultaneously. To handle this we divide up the shares into weights proportionate with the load on each cfs_rq. This does not however, account for the fact that the sum of the parts may be less than one cpu and so we need to normalize: load(tg) = min(runnable_avg(tg), 1) * tg->shares Where runnable_avg is the aggregate time in which the task_group had runnable children.
