| | | | | | | | | | | | | Now we exceed the runtime and get throttled - the period rollover tick will subtract the cpu quota from the runtime and check if we're below quota. However with this cpu having a very small portion of the runtime it will not refresh as fast as it should. Therefore, also rebalance the runtime when we're throttled.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The bandwidth throttle code dequeues a group when it runs out of quota, and re-queues it once the period rolls over and the quota gets refreshed. Sadly it failed to take the hierarchy into consideration. Share more of the enqueue/dequeue code with regular task opterations. Also, some operations like sched_setscheduler() can dequeue/enqueue tasks that are in throttled runqueues, we should not inadvertly re-enqueue empty runqueues so check for that.

* | sched: rework of "prioritize non-migratable tasks over migratable ones"Dmitry Adamushko2008-06-181-35/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | regarding this commit: 45c01e824991b2dd0a332e19efc4901acb31209f I think we can do it simpler. Please take a look at the patch below. Instead of having 2 separate arrays (which is + ~800 bytes on x86_32 and twice so on x86_64), let's add "exclusive" (the ones that are bound to this CPU) tasks to the head of the queue and "shared" ones -- to the end. In case of a few newly woken up "exclusive" tasks, they are 'stacked' (not queued as now), meaning that a task {i+1} is being placed in front of the previously woken up task {i}. But I don't think that this behavior may cause any realistic problems. There are a couple of changes on top of this one. (1) in check_preempt_curr_rt() I don't think there is a need for the "pick_next_rt_entity(rq, &rq->rt) != &rq->curr->rt" check. enqueue_task_rt(p) and check_preempt_curr_rt() are always called one after another with rq->lock being held so the following check "p->rt.nr_cpus_allowed == 1 && rq->curr->rt.nr_cpus_allowed != 1" should be enough (well, just its left part) to guarantee that 'p' has been queued in front of the 'curr'. (2) in set_cpus_allowed_rt() I don't thinks there is a need for requeue_task_rt() here. Perhaps, the only case when 'requeue' (+ reschedule) might be useful is as follows: i) weight == 1 && cpu_isset(task_cpu(p), *new_mask) i.e. a task is being bound to this CPU); ii) 'p' != rq->curr but here, 'p' has already been on this CPU for a while and was not migrated. i.e. it's possible that 'rq->curr' would not have high chances to be migrated right at this particular moment (although, has chance in a bit longer term), should we allow it to be preempted. Anyway, I think we should not perhaps make it more complex trying to address some rare corner cases. For instance, that's why a single queue approach would be preferable. Unless I'm missing something obvious, this approach gives us similar functionality at lower cost. Verified only compilation-wise.

This patch applies to 25.4-rt4, though it should trivially apply to most cpupri enabled kernels mentioned above. It turned out that the issue was that offline cpus could get inadvertently registered with cpupri so that they were erroneously selected during migration decisions. The end result would be an OOPS as the offline cpu had tasks routed to it. This patch generalizes the old join/leave domain interface into an online/offline interface, and adjusts the root-domain/hotplug code to utilize it. I was able to easily reproduce the issue prior to this patch, and am no longer able to reproduce it after this patch. I can offline cpus indefinately and everything seems to be in working order.

* | sched: prioritize non-migratable tasks over migratable onesGregory Haskins2008-06-061-7/+68
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Dmitry Adamushko pointed out a known flaw in the rt-balancing algorithm that could allow suboptimal balancing if a non-migratable task gets queued behind a running migratable one. It is discussed in this thread: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/4/22/296 This issue has been further exacerbated by a recent checkin to sched-devel (git-id 5eee63a5ebc19a870ac40055c0be49457f3a89a3). >From a pure priority standpoint, the run-queue is doing the "right" thing. Using Dmitry's nomenclature, if T0 is on cpu1 first, and T1 wakes up at equal or lower priority (affined only to cpu1) later, it *should* wait for T0 to finish. However, in reality that is likely suboptimal from a system perspective if there are other cores that could allow T0 and T1 to run concurrently. Since T1 can not migrate, the only choice for higher concurrency is to try to move T0. This is not something we addessed in the recent rt-balancing re-work. This patch tries to enhance the balancing algorithm by accomodating this scenario. It accomplishes this by incorporating the migratability of a task into its priority calculation. Within a numerical tsk->prio, a non-migratable task is logically higher than a migratable one. We maintain this by introducing a new per-priority queue (xqueue, or exclusive-queue) for holding non-migratable tasks. The scheduler will draw from the xqueue over the standard shared-queue (squeue) when available. There are several details for utilizing this properly. 1) During task-wake-up, we not only need to check if the priority preempts the current task, but we also need to check for this non-migratable condition. Therefore, if a non-migratable task wakes up and sees an equal priority migratable task already running, it will attempt to preempt it *if* there is a likelyhood that the current task will find an immediate home. 2) Tasks only get this non-migratable "priority boost" on wake-up. Any requeuing will result in the non-migratable task being queued to the end of the shared queue. This is an attempt to prevent the system from being completely unfair to migratable tasks during things like SCHED_RR timeslicing. I am sure this patch introduces potentially "odd" behavior if you concoct a scenario where a bunch of non-migratable threads could starve migratable ones given the right pattern. I am not yet convinced that this is a problem since we are talking about tasks of equal RT priority anyway, and there never is much in the way of guarantees against starvation under that scenario anyway. (e.g. you could come up with a similar scenario with a specific timing environment verses an affinity environment). I can be convinced otherwise, but for now I think this is "ok".

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implement SMP nice support for the full group hierarchy. On each load-balance action, compile a sched_domain wide view of the full task_group tree. We compute the domain wide view when walking down the hierarchy, and readjust the weights when walking back up. After collecting and readjusting the domain wide view, we try to balance the tasks within the task_groups. The current approach is a naively balance each task group until we've moved the targeted amount of load. Inspired by Srivatsa Vaddsgiri's previous code and Abhishek Chandra's H-SMP paper. XXX: there will be some numerical issues due to the limited nature of SCHED_LOAD_SCALE wrt to representing a task_groups influence on the total weight. When the tree is deep enough, or the task weight small enough, we'll run out of bits.

* sched: balance RT task resched only on runqueueSteven Rostedt2008-03-071-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Sripathi Kodi reported a crash in the -rt kernel: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=435674 this is due to a place that can reschedule a task without holding the tasks runqueue lock. This was caused by the RT balancing code that pulls RT tasks to the current run queue and will reschedule the current task. There's a slight chance that the pulling of the RT tasks will release the current runqueue's lock and retake it (in the double_lock_balance). During this time that the runqueue is released, the current task can migrate to another runqueue. In the prio_changed_rt code, after the pull, if the current task is of lesser priority than one of the RT tasks pulled, resched_task is called on the current task. If the current task had migrated in that small window, resched_task will be called without holding the runqueue lock for the runqueue that the task is on. This race condition also exists in the mainline kernel and this patch adds a check to make sure the task hasn't migrated before calling resched_task.

* sched: rt group schedulingPeter Zijlstra2008-01-251-119/+336
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Extend group scheduling to also cover the realtime classes. It uses the time limiting introduced by the previous patch to allow multiple realtime groups. The hard time limit is required to keep behaviour deterministic. The algorithms used make the realtime scheduler O(tg), linear scaling wrt the number of task groups. This is the worst case behaviour I can't seem to get out of, the avg. case of the algorithms can be improved, I focused on correctness and worst case.

* sched: rt time limitPeter Zijlstra2008-01-251-0/+53
| | | | | | | | | | Very simple time limit on the realtime scheduling classes. Allow the rq's realtime class to consume sched_rt_ratio of every sched_rt_period slice. If the class exceeds this quota the fair class will preempt the realtime class. Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
* sched: high-res preemption tickPeter Zijlstra2008-01-251-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Use HR-timers (when available) to deliver an accurate preemption tick. The regular scheduler tick that runs at 1/HZ can be too coarse when nice level are used. The fairness system will still keep the cpu utilisation 'fair' by then delaying the task that got an excessive amount of CPU time but try to minimize this by delivering preemption points spot-on. The average frequency of this extra interrupt is sched_latency / nr_latency. Which need not be higher than 1/HZ, its just that the distribution within the sched_latency period is important.

* sched: RT-balance, add new methods to sched_classSteven Rostedt2008-01-251-0/+89
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Dmitry Adamushko found that the current implementation of the RT balancing code left out changes to the sched_setscheduler and rt_mutex_setprio. This patch addresses this issue by adding methods to the schedule classes to handle being switched out of (switched_from) and being switched into (switched_to) a sched_class. Also a method for changing of priorities is also added (prio_changed). This patch also removes some duplicate logic between rt_mutex_setprio and sched_setscheduler.

| | | | | | | | | | | To make the main sched.c code more agnostic to the schedule classes. Instead of having specific hooks in the schedule code for the RT class balancing. They are replaced with a pre_schedule, post_schedule and task_wake_up methods. These methods may be used by any of the classes but currently, only the sched_rt class implements them.

* sched: only balance our RT tasks within our domainGregory Haskins2008-01-251-26/+31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We move the rt-overload data as the first global to per-domain reclassification. This limits the scope of overload related cache-line bouncing to stay with a specified partition instead of affecting all cpus in the system. Finally, we limit the scope of find_lowest_cpu searches to the domain instead of the entire system. Note that we would always respect domain boundaries even without this patch, but we first would scan potentially all cpus before whittling the list down. Now we can avoid looking at RQs that are out of scope, again reducing cache-line hits. Note: In some cases, task->cpus_allowed will effectively reduce our search to within our domain. However, I believe there are cases where the cpus_allowed mask may be all ones and therefore we err on the side of caution. If it can be optimized later, so be it.
