* sched: Fix hotplug task migrationPeter Zijlstra2014-02-211-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Dan Carpenter reported: > kernel/sched/rt.c:1347 pick_next_task_rt() warn: variable dereferenced before check 'prev' (see line 1338) > kernel/sched/deadline.c:1011 pick_next_task_dl() warn: variable dereferenced before check 'prev' (see line 1005) Kirill also spotted that migrate_tasks() will have an instant NULL deref because pick_next_task() will immediately deref prev. 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().

* sched: Push down pre_schedule() and idle_balance()Peter Zijlstra2014-02-111-7/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch both merged idle_balance() and pre_schedule() and pushes both of them into pick_next_task(). 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.

* sched: Push put_prev_task() into pick_next_task()Peter Zijlstra2014-02-101-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | In order to avoid having to do put/set on a whole cgroup hierarchy when we context switch, push the put into pick_next_task() so that both operations are in the same function. Further changes then allow us to possibly optimize away redundant work.

* sched/numa: Introduce migrate_swap()Peter Zijlstra2013-10-091-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* sched: Keep at least 1 tick per second for active dynticks tasksFrederic Weisbecker2013-05-041-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* sched: Fix wrong rq's runnable_avg update with rt tasksVincent Guittot2013-04-211-0/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* sched/nohz: Rewrite and fix load-avg computation -- againPeter Zijlstra2012-07-051-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Thanks to Charles Wang for spotting the defects in the current code: - If we go idle during the sample window -- after sampling, we get a negative bias because we can negate our own sample. - If we wake up during the sample window we get a positive bias because we push the sample to a known active period. So rewrite the entire nohz load-avg muck once again, now adding copious documentation to the code.
