* sched: Fix updating rq->max_idle_balance_cost and rq->next_balance in ↵Jason Low2014-05-071-8/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | idle_balance() The following commit: e5fc66119ec9 ("sched: Fix race in idle_balance()") can potentially cause rq->max_idle_balance_cost to not be updated, even when load_balance(NEWLY_IDLE) is attempted and the per-sd max cost value is updated. Preeti noticed a similar issue with updating rq->next_balance. In this patch, we fix this by making sure we still check/update those values even if a task gets enqueued while browsing the domains.

* sched/core: Fix endless loop in pick_next_task()Kirill Tkhai2014-03-111-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 1) Single cpu machine case. When rq has only RT tasks, but no one of them can be picked because of throttling, we enter in endless loop. pick_next_task_{dl,rt} return NULL. In pick_next_task_fair() we permanently go to retry if (rq->nr_running != rq->cfs.h_nr_running) return RETRY_TASK; (rq->nr_running is not being decremented when rt_rq becomes throttled). No chances to unthrottle any rt_rq or to wake fair here, because of rq is locked permanently and interrupts are disabled. 2) In case of SMP this can cause a hang too. Although we unlock rq in idle_balance(), interrupts are still disabled. The solution is to check for available tasks in DL and RT classes instead of checking for sum.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | dequeue_entity() is called when p->on_rq and sets se->on_rq = 0 which appears to guarentee that the !se->on_rq condition is met. If the task has done set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE) without schedule() the second condition will be met and vruntime will be incorrectly adjusted twice. In certain cases this can result in the task's vruntime never increasing past the vruntime of other tasks on the CFS' run queue, starving them of CPU time. This patch changes switched_from_fair() to use !p->on_rq instead of !se->on_rq. I'm able to cause a task with a priority of 120 to starve all other tasks with the same priority on an ARM platform running 3.2.51-rt72 PREEMPT RT by writing one character at time to a serial tty (16550 UART) in a tight loop. I'm also able to verify making this change corrects the problem on that platform and kernel version.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Normally task_numa_work scans over a fairly small amount of memory, but it is possible to run into a large unpopulated part of virtual memory, with no pages mapped.

* | sched: Guarantee task priority in pick_next_task()Peter Zijlstra2014-02-271-1/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Michael spotted that the idle_balance() push down created a task priority problem. Previously, when we called idle_balance() before pick_next_task() it wasn't a problem when -- because of the rq->lock droppage -- an rt/dl task slipped in. Similarly for pre_schedule(), rt pre-schedule could have a dl task slip in. But by pulling it into the pick_next_task() loop, we'll not try a higher task priority again. Cure this by creating a re-start condition in pick_next_task(); and triggering this from pick_next_task_{rt,fair}(). It also fixes a live-lock where we get stuck in pick_next_task_fair() due to idle_balance() seeing !0 nr_running but there not actually being any fair tasks about.

* | sched: Put rq's sched_avg under CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHEDDietmar Eggemann2014-02-271-6/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The struct sched_avg of struct rq is only used in case group scheduling is enabled inside __update_tg_runnable_avg() to update per-cpu representation of a task group. I.e. that there is no need to maintain the runnable avg of a rq in the !CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED case. This patch guards struct sched_avg of struct rq and update_rq_runnable_avg() with CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED. There is an extra empty definition for update_rq_runnable_avg() necessary for the !CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED && CONFIG_SMP case. The function print_cfs_group_stats() which prints out struct sched_avg of struct rq is already guarded with CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED.

Instead of fixing all the corner cases because migrate_tasks() can pass in a NULL prev task in the unlikely case of hot-un-plug, provide a fake task such that we can remove all the NULL checks from the far more common paths. A further problem; not previously spotted; is that because we pushed pre_schedule() and idle_balance() into pick_next_task() we now need to avoid those getting called and pulling more tasks on our dying CPU. We avoid pull_{dl,rt}_task() by setting fake_task.prio to MAX_PRIO+1. We also note that since we call pick_next_task() exactly the amount of times we have runnable tasks present, we should never land in idle_balance().

Conceptually pre_schedule() and idle_balance() are rather similar, both are used to pull more work onto the current CPU. We cannot however first move idle_balance() into pre_schedule_fair() since there is no guarantee the last runnable task is a fair task, and thus we would miss newidle balances. Similarly, the dl and rt pre_schedule calls must be ran before idle_balance() since their respective tasks have higher priority and it would not do to delay their execution searching for less important tasks first. However, by noticing that pick_next_tasks() already traverses the sched_class hierarchy in the right order, we can get the right behaviour and do away with both calls. We must however change the special case optimization to also require that prev is of sched_class_fair, otherwise we can miss doing a dl or rt pull where we needed one.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The scheduler main function 'schedule()' checks if there are no more tasks on the runqueue. Then it checks if a task should be pulled in the current runqueue in idle_balance() assuming it will go to idle otherwise. But idle_balance() releases the rq->lock in order to look up the sched domains and takes the lock again right after. That opens a window where another cpu may put a task in our runqueue, so we won't go to idle but we have filled the idle_stamp, thinking we will. This patch closes the window by checking if the runqueue has been modified but without pulling a task after taking the lock again, so we won't go to idle right after in the __schedule() function.

It would be even worse if bounces are frequent. o NUMA avg task migs. Average number of migrations for tasks o NUMA stddev task mig Self-explanatory o NUMA max task migs. Maximum number of migrations for a single task In general the intent of the tracepoints is to help diagnose problems where automatic NUMA balancing appears to be doing an excessive amount of useless work.

The NUMA balancing code looks at those per-process variables, and having other tasks temporarily see halved statistics could lead to unwanted numa migrations. This can be avoided by doing all the math in local variables. This change also simplifies the code a little.

* | | sched/numa: Normalize faults_cpu stats and weigh by CPU useRik van Riel2014-01-281-2/+51

Specifically, the garbage collector in some workloads will access orders of magnitudes more memory than the threads that do all the active work. This resulted in the node with the garbage collector being marked the only active node in the group. This issue is avoided if we weigh the statistics by CPU use of each task in the numa group, instead of by how many faults each thread has occurred. To achieve this, we normalize the number of faults to the fraction of faults that occurred on each node, and then multiply that fraction by the fraction of CPU time the task has used since the last time task_numa_placement was invoked. This way the nodes in the active node mask will be the ones where the tasks from the numa group are most actively running, and the influence of eg. the garbage collector and other do-little threads is properly minimized. On a 4 node system, using CPU use statistics calculated over a longer interval results in about 1% fewer page migrations with two 32-warehouse specjbb runs on a 4 node system, and about 5% fewer page migrations, as well as 1% better throughput, with two 8-warehouse specjbb runs, as compared with the shorter term statistics kept by the scheduler.

In order to maximize performance of workloads that do not fit in one NUMA node, we want to satisfy the following criteria: 1) keep private memory local to each thread 2) avoid excessive NUMA migration of pages 3) distribute shared memory across the active nodes, to maximize memory bandwidth available to the workload This patch accomplishes that by implementing the following policy for NUMA migrations: 1) always migrate on a private fault 2) never migrate to a node that is not in the set of active nodes for the numa_group 3) always migrate from a node outside of the set of active nodes, to a node that is in that set 4) within the set of active nodes in the numa_group, only migrate from a node with more NUMA page faults, to a node with fewer NUMA page faults, with a 25% margin to avoid ping-ponging This results in most pages of a workload ending up on the actively used nodes, with reduced ping-ponging of pages between those nodes.

With the current implementation, the load average statistics of a sched entity change according to other activity on the CPU even if this activity is done between the running window of the sched entity and have no influence on the running duration of the task. When a task wakes up on the same CPU, we currently update last_runnable_update with the return of __synchronize_entity_decay without updating the runnable_avg_sum and runnable_avg_period accordingly. In fact, we have to sync the load_contrib of the se with the rq's blocked_load_contrib before removing it from the latter (with __synchronize_entity_decay) but we must keep last_runnable_update unchanged for updating runnable_avg_sum/period during the next update_entity_load_avg.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Thomas Hellstrom bisected a regression where erratic 3D performance is experienced on virtual machines as measured by glxgears. It identified commit 58d081b5 ("sched/numa: Avoid overloading CPUs on a preferred NUMA node") as the problem which had modified the behaviour of effective_load. Effective load calculates the difference to the system-wide load if a scheduling entity was moved to another CPU. The task group is not heavier as a result of the move but overall system load can increase/decrease as a result of the change. Commit 58d081b5 ("sched/numa: Avoid overloading CPUs on a preferred NUMA node") changed effective_load to make it suitable for calculating if a particular NUMA node was compute overloaded. To reduce the cost of the function, it assumed that a current sched entity weight of 0 was uninteresting but that is not the case. wake_affine() uses a weight of 0 for sync wakeups on the grounds that it is assuming the waking task will sleep and not contribute to load in the near future. In this case, we still want to calculate the effective load of the sched entity hierarchy. As effective_load is no longer used by task_numa_compare since commit fb13c7ee (sched/numa: Use a system-wide search to find swap/migration candidates), this patch simply restores the historical behaviour.
