2025-04-08sched/rt: Fix race in push_rt_taskHarshit Agarwal
Overview ======== When a CPU chooses to call push_rt_task and picks a task to push to another CPU's runqueue then it will call find_lock_lowest_rq method which would take a double lock on both CPUs' runqueues. If one of the locks aren't readily available, it may lead to dropping the current runqueue lock and reacquiring both the locks at once. During this window it is possible that the task is already migrated and is running on some other CPU. These cases are already handled. However, if the task is migrated and has already been executed and another CPU is now trying to wake it up (ttwu) such that it is queued again on the runqeue (on_rq is 1) and also if the task was run by the same CPU, then the current checks will pass even though the task was migrated out and is no longer in the pushable tasks list. Crashes ======= This bug resulted in quite a few flavors of crashes triggering kernel panics with various crash signatures such as assert failures, page faults, null pointer dereferences, and queue corruption errors all coming from scheduler itself. Some of the crashes: -> kernel BUG at kernel/sched/rt.c:1616!

Details ======= Let's look at the following scenario to understand this race. 1) CPU A enters push_rt_task a) CPU A has chosen next_task = task p. b) CPU A calls find_lock_lowest_rq(Task p, CPU Z’s rq). c) CPU A identifies CPU X as a destination CPU (X < Z). d) CPU A enters double_lock_balance(CPU Z’s rq, CPU X’s rq). e) Since X is lower than Z, CPU A unlocks CPU Z’s rq. Someone else has locked CPU X’s rq, and thus, CPU A must wait. 2) At CPU Z a) Previous task has completed execution and thus, CPU Z enters schedule, locks its own rq after CPU A releases it. b) CPU Z dequeues previous task and begins executing task p. c) CPU Z unlocks its rq. d) Task p yields the CPU (ex. by doing IO or waiting to acquire a lock) which triggers the schedule function on CPU Z. e) CPU Z enters schedule again, locks its own rq, and dequeues task p. f) As part of dequeue, it sets p.on_rq = 0 and unlocks its rq. 3) At CPU B a) CPU B enters try_to_wake_up with input task p. b) Since CPU Z dequeued task p, p.on_rq = 0, and CPU B updates B.state = WAKING. c) CPU B via select_task_rq determines CPU Y as the target CPU. 4) The race a) CPU A acquires CPU X’s lock and relocks CPU Z. b) CPU A reads task p.cpu = Z and incorrectly concludes task p is still on CPU Z. c) CPU A failed to notice task p had been dequeued from CPU Z while CPU A was waiting for locks in double_lock_balance. If CPU A knew that task p had been dequeued, it would return NULL forcing push_rt_task to give up the task p's migration. d) CPU B updates task p.cpu = Y and calls ttwu_queue. e) CPU B locks Ys rq. CPU B enqueues task p onto Y and sets task p.on_rq = 1. f) CPU B unlocks CPU Y, triggering memory synchronization. g) CPU A reads task p.on_rq = 1, cementing its assumption that task p has not migrated. h) CPU A decides to migrate p to CPU X. This leads to A dequeuing p from Y's queue and various crashes down the line. Solution ======== The solution here is fairly simple. After obtaining the lock (at 4a), the check is enhanced to make sure that the task is still at the head of the pushable tasks list. If not, then it is anyway not suitable for being pushed out. Testing ======= The fix is tested on a cluster of 3 nodes, where the panics due to this are hit every couple of days. A fix similar to this was deployed on such cluster and was stable for more than 30 days.

2025-04-08sched: Do not construct nor expose RT_GROUP_SCHED structures if disabledMichal Koutný
Thanks to kernel cmdline being available early, before any cgroup hierarchy exists, we can achieve the RT_GROUP_SCHED boottime disabling goal by simply skipping any creation (and destruction) of RT_GROUP data and its exposure via RT attributes. We can do this thanks to previously placed runtime guards that would redirect all operations to root_task_group's data when RT_GROUP_SCHED disabled.

2025-04-08sched: Bypass bandwitdh checks with runtime disabled RT_GROUP_SCHEDMichal Koutný
When RT_GROUPs are compiled but not exposed, their bandwidth cannot be configured (and it is not initialized for non-root task_groups neither). Therefore bypass any checks of task vs task_group bandwidth. This will achieve behavior very similar to setups that have !CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED and attach cpu controller to cgroup v2 hierarchy. (On a related note, this may allow having RT tasks with CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED and cgroup v2 hierarchy.)

2025-04-08sched: Skip non-root task_groups with disabled RT_GROUP_SCHEDMichal Koutný
First, we want to prevent placement of RT tasks on non-root rt_rqs which we achieve in the task migration code that'd fall back to root_task_group's rt_rq. Second, we want to work with only root_task_group's rt_rq when iterating all "real" rt_rqs when RT_GROUP is disabled. To achieve this we keep root_task_group as the first one on the task_groups and break out quickly.

2025-03-19sched/debug: Change SCHED_WARN_ON() to WARN_ON_ONCE()Ingo Molnar
The scheduler has this special SCHED_WARN() facility that depends on CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG. Since CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG is getting removed, convert SCHED_WARN() to WARN_ON_ONCE(). Note that the warning output isn't 100% equivalent: #define SCHED_WARN_ON(x) WARN_ONCE(x, #x) Because SCHED_WARN_ON() would output the 'x' condition as well, while WARN_ONCE() will only show a backtrace. Hopefully these are rare enough to not really matter. If it does, we should probably introduce a new WARN_ON() variant that outputs the condition in stringified form, or improve WARN_ON() itself.

2025-03-17sched/deadline: Generalize unique visiting of root domainsJuri Lelli
Bandwidth checks and updates that work on root domains currently employ a cookie mechanism for efficiency. This mechanism is very much tied to when root domains are first created and initialized. Generalize the cookie mechanism so that it can be used also later at runtime while updating root domains. Also, additionally guard it with sched_domains_mutex, since domains need to be stable while updating them (and it will be required for further dynamic changes).

Add the const qualifier to all the ctl_tables in the tree except for watchdog_hardlockup_sysctl, memory_allocation_profiling_sysctls, loadpin_sysctl_table and the ones calling register_net_sysctl (./net, drivers/inifiniband dirs). These are special cases as they use a registration function with a non-const qualified ctl_table argument or modify the arrays before passing them on to the registration function. Constifying ctl_table structs will prevent the modification of proc_handler function pointers as the arrays would reside in .rodata.

2024-10-14sched: Split scheduler and execution contextsPeter Zijlstra
Let's define the "scheduling context" as all the scheduler state in task_struct for the task chosen to run, which we'll call the donor task, and the "execution context" as all state required to actually run the task. Currently both are intertwined in task_struct. We want to logically split these such that we can use the scheduling context of the donor task selected to be scheduled, but use the execution context of a different task to actually be run. To this purpose, introduce rq->donor field to point to the task_struct chosen from the runqueue by the scheduler, and will be used for scheduler state, and preserve rq->curr to indicate the execution context of the task that will actually be run. This patch introduces the donor field as a union with curr, so it doesn't cause the contexts to be split yet, but adds the logic to handle everything separately.

2024-09-03sched: Rework pick_next_task()Peter Zijlstra
The current rule is that: pick_next_task() := pick_task() + set_next_task(.first = true) And many classes implement it directly as such. Change things around to make pick_next_task() optional while also changing the definition to: pick_next_task(prev) := pick_task() + put_prev_task() + set_next_task(.first = true) The reason is that sched_ext would like to have a 'final' call that knows the next task. By placing put_prev_task() right next to set_next_task() (as it already is for sched_core) this becomes trivial. As a bonus, this is a nice cleanup on its own.

2024-07-24sysctl: treewide: constify the ctl_table argument of proc_handlersJoel Granados
const qualify the struct ctl_table argument in the proc_handler function signatures. This is a prerequisite to moving the static ctl_table structs into .rodata data which will ensure that proc_handler function pointers cannot be modified. This patch has been generated by the following coccinelle script: ``` virtual patch @r1@ identifier ctl, write, buffer, lenp, ppos; identifier func !~ "appldata_(timer|interval)_handler|sched_(rt|rr)_handler|rds_tcp_skbuf_handler|proc_sctp_do_(hmac_alg|rto_min|rto_max|udp_port|alpha_beta|auth|probe_interval)"; @@ int func( - struct ctl_table *ctl + const struct ctl_table *ctl ,int write, void *buffer, size_t *lenp, loff_t *ppos); @r2@ identifier func, ctl, write, buffer, lenp, ppos; @@ int func( - struct ctl_table *ctl + const struct ctl_table *ctl ,int write, void *buffer, size_t *lenp, loff_t *ppos) { ... } @r3@ identifier func; @@ int func( - struct ctl_table * + const struct ctl_table * ,int , void *, size_t *, loff_t *); @r4@ identifier func, ctl; @@ int func( - struct ctl_table *ctl + const struct ctl_table *ctl ,int , void *, size_t *, loff_t *); @r5@ identifier func, write, buffer, lenp, ppos; @@ int func( - struct ctl_table * + const struct ctl_table * ,int write, void *buffer, size_t *lenp, loff_t *ppos); ``` * Code formatting was adjusted in xfs_sysctl.c to comply with code conventions.

2023-10-13sched: Fix stop_one_cpu_nowait() vs hotplugPeter Zijlstra
Kuyo reported sporadic failures on a sched_setaffinity() vs CPU hotplug stress-test -- notably affine_move_task() remains stuck in wait_for_completion(), leading to a hung-task detector warning. Specifically, it was reported that stop_one_cpu_nowait(.fn = migration_cpu_stop) returns false -- this stopper is responsible for the matching complete(). The race scenario is: CPU0 CPU1 // doing _cpu_down() __set_cpus_allowed_ptr() task_rq_lock(); takedown_cpu() stop_machine_cpuslocked(take_cpu_down..) <PREEMPT: cpu_stopper_thread() MULTI_STOP_PREPARE ... __set_cpus_allowed_ptr_locked() affine_move_task() task_rq_unlock(); <PREEMPT: cpu_stopper_thread()\> ack_state() MULTI_STOP_RUN take_cpu_down() __cpu_disable(); stop_machine_park(); stopper->enabled = false; /> /> stop_one_cpu_nowait(.fn = migration_cpu_stop); if (stopper->enabled) // false!!! That is, by doing stop_one_cpu_nowait() after dropping rq-lock, the stopper thread gets a chance to preempt and allows the cpu-down for the target CPU to complete. OTOH, since stop_one_cpu_nowait() / cpu_stop_queue_work() needs to issue a wakeup, it must not be ran under the scheduler locks. Solve this apparent contradiction by keeping preemption disabled over the unlock + queue_stopper combination: preempt_disable(); task_rq_unlock(...); if (!stop_pending) stop_one_cpu_nowait(...) preempt_enable(); This respects the lock ordering contraints while still avoiding the above race. That is, if we find the CPU is online under rq-lock, the targeted stop_one_cpu_nowait() must succeed. Apply this pattern to all similar stop_one_cpu_nowait() invocations.

2023-10-09sched/topology: Consolidate and clean up access to a CPU's max compute capacityVincent Guittot
Remove the rq::cpu_capacity_orig field and use arch_scale_cpu_capacity() instead. The scheduler uses 3 methods to get access to a CPU's max compute capacity: - arch_scale_cpu_capacity(cpu) which is the default way to get a CPU's capacity. - cpu_capacity_orig field which is periodically updated with arch_scale_cpu_capacity(). - capacity_orig_of(cpu) which encapsulates rq->cpu_capacity_orig. There is no real need to save the value returned by arch_scale_cpu_capacity() in struct rq. arch_scale_cpu_capacity() returns: - either a per_cpu variable. - or a const value for systems which have only one capacity. Remove rq::cpu_capacity_orig and use arch_scale_cpu_capacity() everywhere. No functional changes.

2023-10-02sched/rt: Disallow writing invalid values to sched_rt_period_usCyril Hrubis
The validation of the value written to sched_rt_period_us was broken because: - the sysclt_sched_rt_period is declared as unsigned int - parsed by proc_do_intvec() - the range is asserted after the value parsed by proc_do_intvec() Because of this negative values written to the file were written into a unsigned integer that were later on interpreted as large positive integers which did passed the check: if (sysclt_sched_rt_period <= 0) return EINVAL; This commit fixes the parsing by setting explicit range for both perid_us and runtime_us into the sched_rt_sysctls table and processes the values with proc_dointvec_minmax() instead. Alternatively if we wanted to use full range of unsigned int for the period value we would have to split the proc_handler and use proc_douintvec() for it however even the Documentation/scheduller/sched-rt-group.rst describes the range as 1 to INT_MAX. As far as I can tell the only problem this causes is that the sysctl file allows writing negative values which when read back may confuse userspace. There is also a LTP test being submitted for these sysctl files at: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/ltp/patch/20230901144433.2526-1-chrubis@suse.cz/ Signed-off-by: Cyril Hrubis <chrubis@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231002115553.3007-2-chrubis@suse.cz
2023-09-25sched/rt: Make rt_rq->pushable_tasks updates drive rto_maskValentin Schneider
Sebastian noted that the rto_push_work IRQ work can be queued for a CPU that has an empty pushable_tasks list, which means nothing useful will be done in the IPI other than queue the work for the next CPU on the rto_mask. rto_push_irq_work_func() only operates on tasks in the pushable_tasks list, but the conditions for that irq_work to be queued (and for a CPU to be added to the rto_mask) rely on rq_rt->nr_migratory instead. nr_migratory is increased whenever an RT task entity is enqueued and it has nr_cpus_allowed > 1. Unlike the pushable_tasks list, nr_migratory includes a rt_rq's current task. This means a rt_rq can have a migratible current, N non-migratible queued tasks, and be flagged as overloaded / have its CPU set in the rto_mask, despite having an empty pushable_tasks list. Make an rt_rq's overload logic be driven by {enqueue,dequeue}_pushable_task(). Since rt_rq->{rt_nr_migratory,rt_nr_total} become unused, remove them. Note that the case where the current task is pushed away to make way for a migration-disabled task remains unchanged: the migration-disabled task has to be in the pushable_tasks list in the first place, which means it has nr_cpus_allowed > 1.

There is a 10% rounding error in the intial value of the sysctl_sched_rr_timeslice with CONFIG_HZ_300=y.

The problem it found is the intial sysctl file value which was computed as: static int sysctl_sched_rr_timeslice = (MSEC_PER_SEC / HZ) * RR_TIMESLICE; which works fine as long as MSEC_PER_SEC is multiple of HZ, however it introduces 10% rounding error for CONFIG_HZ_300: (MSEC_PER_SEC / HZ) * (100 * HZ / 1000) (1000 / 300) * (100 * 300 / 1000) 3 * 30 = 90 This can be easily fixed by reversing the order of the multiplication and division. After this fix we get: (MSEC_PER_SEC * (100 * HZ / 1000)) / HZ (1000 * (100 * 300 / 1000)) / 300 (1000 * 30) / 300 = 100 Fixes: 975e155ed873 ("sched/rt: Show the 'sched_rr_timeslice' SCHED_RR timeslice tuning knob in milliseconds") Signed-off-by: Cyril Hrubis <chrubis@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Reviewed-by: Petr Vorel <pvorel@suse.cz> Acked-by: Mel Gorman <mgorman@suse.de> Tested-by: Petr Vorel <pvorel@suse.cz> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230802151906.25258-2-chrubis@suse.cz

2022-05-11sched/core: Avoid obvious double update_rq_clock warningHao Jia
When we use raw_spin_rq_lock() to acquire the rq lock and have to update the rq clock while holding the lock, the kernel may issue a WARN_DOUBLE_CLOCK warning. Since we directly use raw_spin_rq_lock() to acquire rq lock instead of rq_lock(), there is no corresponding change to rq->clock_update_flags. In particular, we have obtained the rq lock of other CPUs, the rq->clock_update_flags of this CPU may be RQCF_UPDATED at this time, and then calling update_rq_clock() will trigger the WARN_DOUBLE_CLOCK warning. So we need to clear RQCF_UPDATED of rq->clock_update_flags to avoid the WARN_DOUBLE_CLOCK warning. For the sched_rt_period_timer() and migrate_task_rq_dl() cases we simply replace raw_spin_rq_lock()/raw_spin_rq_unlock() with rq_lock()/rq_unlock(). For the {pull,push}_{rt,dl}_task() cases, we add the double_rq_clock_clear_update() function to clear RQCF_UPDATED of rq->clock_update_flags, and call double_rq_clock_clear_update() before double_lock_balance()/double_rq_lock() returns to avoid the WARN_DOUBLE_CLOCK warning.

2022-04-06sched/rt: fix build error when CONFIG_SYSCTL is disableBaisong Zhong
Avoid random build errors which do not select CONFIG_SYSCTL by depending on it in Kconfig. This fixes the following warning: In file included from kernel/sched/build_policy.c:43: At top level: kernel/sched/rt.c:3017:12: error: ‘sched_rr_handler’ defined but not used [-Werror=unused-function] 3017 | static int sched_rr_handler(struct ctl_table *table, int write, void *buffer, | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ kernel/sched/rt.c:2978:12: error: ‘sched_rt_handler’ defined but not used [-Werror=unused-function] 2978 | static int sched_rt_handler(struct ctl_table *table, int write, void *buffer, | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ cc1: all warnings being treated as errors make[2]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:310: kernel/sched/build_policy.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:638: kernel/sched] Error 2 make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
