git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar: - The biggest change is introduction of a new iteration of the SCHED_FAIR interactivity code: the EEVDF ("Earliest Eligible Virtual Deadline First") scheduler EEVDF too is a virtual-time scheduler, with two parameters (weight and relative deadline), compared to CFS that had weight only. It completely reworks the base scheduler: placement, preemption, picking -- everything LWN.net, as usual, has a terrific writeup about EEVDF: https://lwn.net/Articles/925371/ Preemption (both tick and wakeup) is driven by testing against a fresh pick. Because the tree is now effectively an interval tree, and the selection is no longer the 'leftmost' task, over-scheduling is less of a problem. A lot of the CFS heuristics are removed or replaced by more natural latency-space parameters & constructs In terms of expected performance regressions: we will and can fix everything where a 'good' workload misbehaves with the new scheduler, but EEVDF inevitably changes workload scheduling in a binary fashion, hopefully for the better in the overwhelming majority of cases, but in some cases it won't, especially in adversarial loads that got lucky with the previous code, such as some variants of hackbench. We are trying hard to err on the side of fixing all performance regressions, but we expect some inevitable post-release iterations of that process - Improve load-balancing on hybrid x86 systems: enable cluster scheduling (again) - Improve & fix bandwidth-scheduling on nohz systems - Improve bandwidth-throttling - Use lock guards to simplify and de-goto-ify control flow - Misc improvements, cleanups and fixes * tag 'sched-core-2023-08-28' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (43 commits) sched/eevdf/doc: Modify the documented knob to base_slice_ns as well sched/eevdf: Curb wakeup-preemption sched: Simplify sched_core_cpu_{starting,deactivate}() sched: Simplify try_steal_cookie() sched: Simplify sched_tick_remote() sched: Simplify sched_exec() sched: Simplify ttwu() sched: Simplify wake_up_if_idle() sched: Simplify: migrate_swap_stop() sched: Simplify sysctl_sched_uclamp_handler() sched: Simplify get_nohz_timer_target() sched/rt: sysctl_sched_rr_timeslice show default timeslice after reset sched/rt: Fix sysctl_sched_rr_timeslice intial value sched/fair: Block nohz tick_stop when cfs bandwidth in use sched, cgroup: Restore meaning to hierarchical_quota MAINTAINERS: Add Peter explicitly to the psi section sched/psi: Select KERNFS as needed sched/topology: Align group flags when removing degenerate domain sched/fair: remove util_est boosting sched/fair: Propagate enqueue flags into place_entity() ...

2023-08-02sched/fair: Block nohz tick_stop when cfs bandwidth in usePhil Auld
CFS bandwidth limits and NOHZ full don't play well together. Tasks can easily run well past their quotas before a remote tick does accounting. This leads to long, multi-period stalls before such tasks can run again. Currently, when presented with these conflicting requirements the scheduler is favoring nohz_full and letting the tick be stopped. However, nohz tick stopping is already best-effort, there are a number of conditions that can prevent it, whereas cfs runtime bandwidth is expected to be enforced. Make the scheduler favor bandwidth over stopping the tick by setting TICK_DEP_BIT_SCHED when the only running task is a cfs task with runtime limit enabled. We use cfs_b->hierarchical_quota to determine if the task requires the tick. Add check in pick_next_task_fair() as well since that is where we have a handle on the task that is actually going to be running. Add check in sched_can_stop_tick() to cover some edge cases such as nr_running going from 2->1 and the 1 remains the running task.

2023-08-02sched, cgroup: Restore meaning to hierarchical_quotaPhil Auld
In cgroupv2 cfs_b->hierarchical_quota is set to -1 for all task groups due to the previous fix simply taking the min. It should reflect a limit imposed at that level or by an ancestor. Even though cgroupv2 does not require child quota to be less than or equal to that of its ancestors the task group will still be constrained by such a quota so this should be shown here. Cgroupv1 continues to set this correctly. In both cases, add initialization when a new task group is created based on the current parent's value (or RUNTIME_INF in the case of root_task_group). Otherwise, the field is wrong until a quota is changed after creation and __cfs_schedulable() is called.

2023-07-19sched/fair: Implement an EEVDF-like scheduling policyPeter Zijlstra
Where CFS is currently a WFQ based scheduler with only a single knob, the weight. The addition of a second, latency oriented parameter, makes something like WF2Q or EEVDF based a much better fit. Specifically, EEVDF does EDF like scheduling in the left half of the tree -- those entities that are owed service. Except because this is a virtual time scheduler, the deadlines are in virtual time as well, which is what allows over-subscription. EEVDF has two parameters: - weight, or time-slope: which is mapped to nice just as before - request size, or slice length: which is used to compute the virtual deadline as: vd_i = ve_i + r_i/w_i Basically, by setting a smaller slice, the deadline will be earlier and the task will be more eligible and ran earlier. Tick driven preemption is driven by request/slice completion; while wakeup preemption is driven by the deadline. Because the tree is now effectively an interval tree, and the selection is no longer 'leftmost', over-scheduling is less of a problem.

2023-07-19sched/fair: Add cfs_rq::avg_vruntimePeter Zijlstra
In order to move to an eligibility based scheduling policy, we need to have a better approximation of the ideal scheduler. Specifically, for a virtual time weighted fair queueing based scheduler the ideal scheduler will be the weighted average of the individual virtual runtimes (math in the comment). As such, compute the weighted average to approximate the ideal scheduler -- note that the approximation is in the individual task behaviour, which isn't strictly conformant. Specifically consider adding a task with a vruntime left of center, in this case the average will move backwards in time -- something the ideal scheduler would of course never do.

2023-07-13sched: add throttled time stat for throttled childrenJosh Don
We currently export the total throttled time for cgroups that are given a bandwidth limit. This patch extends this accounting to also account the total time that each children cgroup has been throttled. This is useful to understand the degree to which children have been affected by the throttling control. Children which are not runnable during the entire throttled period, for example, will not show any self-throttling time during this period. Expose this in a new interface, 'cpu.stat.local', which is similar to how non-hierarchical events are accounted in 'memory.events.local'.

2023-06-16sched/core: Avoid multiple calling update_rq_clock() in __cfsb_csd_unthrottle()Hao Jia
After commit 8ad075c2eb1f ("sched: Async unthrottling for cfs bandwidth"), we may update the rq clock multiple times in the loop of __cfsb_csd_unthrottle(). A prior (although less common) instance of this problem exists in unthrottle_offline_cfs_rqs(). Cure both by ensuring update_rq_clock() is called before the loop and setting RQCF_ACT_SKIP during the loop, to supress further updates. The alternative would be pulling update_rq_clock() out of unthrottle_cfs_rq(), but that gives an even bigger mess.

2023-06-16sched/deadline: Fix bandwidth reclaim equation in GRUBVineeth Pillai
According to the GRUB[1] rule, the runtime is depreciated as: "dq = -max{u, (1 - Uinact - Uextra)} dt" (1) To guarantee that deadline tasks doesn't starve lower class tasks, we do not allocate the full bandwidth of the cpu to deadline tasks. Maximum bandwidth usable by deadline tasks is denoted by "Umax". Considering Umax, equation (1) becomes: "dq = -(max{u, (Umax - Uinact - Uextra)} / Umax) dt" (2) Current implementation has a minor bug in equation (2), which this patch fixes. The reclamation logic is verified by a sample program which creates multiple deadline threads and observing their utilization. The tests were run on an isolated cpu(isolcpus=3) on a 4 cpu system. Tests on 6.3.0 ============== RUN 1: runtime=7ms, deadline=period=10ms, RT capacity = 95% TID[693]: RECLAIM=1, (r=7ms, d=10ms, p=10ms), Util: 93.33 TID[693]: RECLAIM=1, (r=7ms, d=10ms, p=10ms), Util: 93.35 RUN 2: runtime=1ms, deadline=period=100ms, RT capacity = 95% TID[708]: RECLAIM=1, (r=1ms, d=100ms, p=100ms), Util: 16.69 TID[708]: RECLAIM=1, (r=1ms, d=100ms, p=100ms), Util: 16.69 RUN 3: 2 tasks Task 1: runtime=1ms, deadline=period=10ms Task 2: runtime=1ms, deadline=period=100ms TID[631]: RECLAIM=1, (r=1ms, d=10ms, p=10ms), Util: 62.67 TID[632]: RECLAIM=1, (r=1ms, d=100ms, p=100ms), Util: 6.37 TID[631]: RECLAIM=1, (r=1ms, d=10ms, p=10ms), Util: 62.38 TID[632]: RECLAIM=1, (r=1ms, d=100ms, p=100ms), Util: 6.23 As seen above, the reclamation doesn't reclaim the maximum allowed bandwidth and as the bandwidth of tasks gets smaller, the reclaimed bandwidth also comes down.

2023-06-05sched/fair, cpufreq: Introduce 'runnable boosting'Dietmar Eggemann
The responsiveness of the Per Entity Load Tracking (PELT) util_avg in mobile devices is still considered too low for utilization changes during task ramp-up. In Android this manifests in the fact that the first frames of a UI activity are very prone to be jankframes (a frame which doesn't meet the required frame rendering time, e.g. 16ms@60Hz) since the CPU frequency is normally low at this point and has to ramp up quickly. The beginning of an UI activity is also characterized by the occurrence of CPU contention, especially on little CPUs. Current little CPUs can have an original CPU capacity of only ~ 150 which means that the actual CPU capacity at lower frequency can even be much smaller. Schedutil maps CPU util_avg into CPU frequency request via: util = effective_cpu_util(..., cpu_util_cfs(cpu), ...) -> util = map_util_perf(util) -> freq = map_util_freq(util, ...) CPU contention for CFS tasks can be detected by 'CPU runnable > CPU utililization' in cpu_util_cfs_boost() -> cpu_util(..., boost = 1). Schedutil uses 'runnable boosting' by calling cpu_util_cfs_boost(). To be in sync with schedutil's CPU frequency selection, Energy Aware Scheduling (EAS) also calls cpu_util(..., boost = 1) during max util detection. Moreover, 'runnable boosting' is also used in load-balance for busiest CPU selection when the migration type is 'migrate_util', i.e. only at sched domains which don't have the SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES flag set.

2023-05-08sched/deadline: Create DL BW alloc, free & check overflow interfaceDietmar Eggemann
While moving a set of tasks between exclusive cpusets, cpuset_can_attach() -> task_can_attach() calls dl_cpu_busy(..., p) for DL BW overflow checking and per-task DL BW allocation on the destination root_domain for the DL tasks in this set. This approach has the issue of not freeing already allocated DL BW in the following error cases: (1) The set of tasks includes multiple DL tasks and DL BW overflow checking fails for one of the subsequent DL tasks. (2) Another controller next to the cpuset controller which is attached to the same cgroup fails in its can_attach(). To address this problem rework dl_cpu_busy(): (1) Split it into dl_bw_check_overflow() & dl_bw_alloc() and add a dedicated dl_bw_free(). (2) dl_bw_alloc() & dl_bw_free() take a `u64 dl_bw` parameter instead of a `struct task_struct *p` used in dl_cpu_busy(). This allows to allocate DL BW for a set of tasks too rather than only for a single task.

2023-04-21sched: Fix performance regression introduced by mm_cidMathieu Desnoyers
Introduce per-mm/cpu current concurrency id (mm_cid) to fix a PostgreSQL sysbench regression reported by Aaron Lu. Keep track of the currently allocated mm_cid for each mm/cpu rather than freeing them immediately on context switch. This eliminates most atomic operations when context switching back and forth between threads belonging to different memory spaces in multi-threaded scenarios (many processes, each with many threads). The per-mm/per-cpu mm_cid values are serialized by their respective runqueue locks. Thread migration is handled by introducing invocation to sched_mm_cid_migrate_to() (with destination runqueue lock held) in activate_task() for migrating tasks. If the destination cpu's mm_cid is unset, and if the source runqueue is not actively using its mm_cid, then the source cpu's mm_cid is moved to the destination cpu on migration. Introduce a task-work executed periodically, similarly to NUMA work, which delays reclaim of cid values when they are unused for a period of time. Keep track of the allocation time for each per-cpu cid, and let the task work clear them when they are observed to be older than SCHED_MM_CID_PERIOD_NS and unused. This task work also clears all mm_cids which are greater or equal to the Hamming weight of the mm cidmask to keep concurrency ids compact. Because we want to ensure the mm_cid converges towards the smaller values as migrations happen, the prior optimization that was done when context switching between threads belonging to the same mm is removed, because it could delay the lazy release of the destination runqueue mm_cid after it has been replaced by a migration. Removing this prior optimization is not an issue performance-wise because the introduced per-mm/per-cpu mm_cid tracking also covers this more specific case.

2022-12-27sched: Introduce per-memory-map concurrency IDMathieu Desnoyers
This feature allows the scheduler to expose a per-memory map concurrency ID to user-space. This concurrency ID is within the possible cpus range, and is temporarily (and uniquely) assigned while threads are actively running within a memory map. If a memory map has fewer threads than cores, or is limited to run on few cores concurrently through sched affinity or cgroup cpusets, the concurrency IDs will be values close to 0, thus allowing efficient use of user-space memory for per-cpu data structures. This feature is meant to be exposed by a new rseq thread area field. The primary purpose of this feature is to do the heavy-lifting needed by memory allocators to allow them to use per-cpu data structures efficiently in the following situations: - Single-threaded applications, - Multi-threaded applications on large systems (many cores) with limited cpu affinity mask, - Multi-threaded applications on large systems (many cores) with restricted cgroup cpuset per container. One of the key concern from scheduler maintainers is the overhead associated with additional spin locks or atomic operations in the scheduler fast-path. This is why the following optimization is implemented. On context switch between threads belonging to the same memory map, transfer the mm_cid from prev to next without any atomic ops. This takes care of use-cases involving frequent context switch between threads belonging to the same memory map. Additional optimizations can be done if the spin locks added when context switching between threads belonging to different memory maps end up being a performance bottleneck. Those are left out of this patch though. A performance impact would have to be clearly demonstrated to justify the added complexity. The credit goes to Paul Turner (Google) for the original virtual cpu id idea. This feature is implemented based on the discussions with Paul Turner and Peter Oskolkov (Google), but I took the liberty to implement scheduler fast-path optimizations and my own NUMA-awareness scheme. The rumor has it that Google have been running a rseq vcpu_id extension internally in production for a year. The tcmalloc source code indeed has comments hinting at a vcpu_id prototype extension to the rseq system call [1]. The following benchmarks do not show any significant overhead added to the scheduler context switch by this feature: * perf bench sched messaging (process) Baseline: 86.5±0.3 ms With mm_cid: 86.7±2.6 ms * perf bench sched messaging (threaded) Baseline: 84.3±3.0 ms With mm_cid: 84.7±2.6 ms * hackbench (process) Baseline: 82.9±2.7 ms With mm_cid: 82.9±2.9 ms * hackbench (threaded) Baseline: 85.2±2.6 ms With mm_cid: 84.4±2.9 ms [1] https://github.com/google/tcmalloc/blob/master/tcmalloc/internal/linux_syscall_support.h#L26 Signed-off-by: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20221122203932.231377-8-mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com
2022-12-27sched: Async unthrottling for cfs bandwidthJosh Don
CFS bandwidth currently distributes new runtime and unthrottles cfs_rq's inline in an hrtimer callback. Runtime distribution is a per-cpu operation, and unthrottling is a per-cgroup operation, since a tg walk is required. On machines with a large number of cpus and large cgroup hierarchies, this cpus*cgroups work can be too much to do in a single hrtimer callback: since IRQ are disabled, hard lockups may easily occur. Specifically, we've found this scalability issue on configurations with 256 cpus, O(1000) cgroups in the hierarchy being throttled, and high memory bandwidth usage. To fix this, we can instead unthrottle cfs_rq's asynchronously via a CSD. Each cpu is responsible for unthrottling itself, thus sharding the total work more fairly across the system, and avoiding hard lockups.

2022-10-27sched: Enforce user requested affinityWaiman Long
It was found that the user requested affinity via sched_setaffinity() can be easily overwritten by other kernel subsystems without an easy way to reset it back to what the user requested. For example, any change to the current cpuset hierarchy may reset the cpumask of the tasks in the affected cpusets to the default cpuset value even if those tasks have pre-existing user requested affinity. That is especially easy to trigger under a cgroup v2 environment where writing "+cpuset" to the root cgroup's cgroup.subtree_control file will reset the cpus affinity of all the processes in the system. That is problematic in a nohz_full environment where the tasks running in the nohz_full CPUs usually have their cpus affinity explicitly set and will behave incorrectly if cpus affinity changes. Fix this problem by looking at user_cpus_ptr in __set_cpus_allowed_ptr() and use it to restrcit the given cpumask unless there is no overlap. In that case, it will fallback to the given one. The SCA_USER flag is reused to indicate intent to set user_cpus_ptr and so user_cpus_ptr masking should be skipped. In addition, masking should also be skipped if any of the SCA_MIGRATE_* flag is set. All callers of set_cpus_allowed_ptr() will be affected by this change. A scratch cpumask is added to percpu runqueues structure for doing additional masking when user_cpus_ptr is set.

2022-09-11memory tiering: hot page selection with hint page fault latencyHuang Ying
Patch series "memory tiering: hot page selection", v4. To optimize page placement in a memory tiering system with NUMA balancing, the hot pages in the slow memory nodes need to be identified. Essentially, the original NUMA balancing implementation selects the mostly recently accessed (MRU) pages to promote. But this isn't a perfect algorithm to identify the hot pages. Because the pages with quite low access frequency may be accessed eventually given the NUMA balancing page table scanning period could be quite long (e.g. 60 seconds). So in this patchset, we implement a new hot page identification algorithm based on the latency between NUMA balancing page table scanning and hint page fault. Which is a kind of mostly frequently accessed (MFU) algorithm. In NUMA balancing memory tiering mode, if there are hot pages in slow memory node and cold pages in fast memory node, we need to promote/demote hot/cold pages between the fast and cold memory nodes. A choice is to promote/demote as fast as possible. But the CPU cycles and memory bandwidth consumed by the high promoting/demoting throughput will hurt the latency of some workload because of accessing inflating and slow memory bandwidth contention. A way to resolve this issue is to restrict the max promoting/demoting throughput. It will take longer to finish the promoting/demoting. But the workload latency will be better. This is implemented in this patchset as the page promotion rate limit mechanism. The promotion hot threshold is workload and system configuration dependent. So in this patchset, a method to adjust the hot threshold automatically is implemented. The basic idea is to control the number of the candidate promotion pages to match the promotion rate limit. We used the pmbench memory accessing benchmark tested the patchset on a 2-socket server system with DRAM and PMEM installed. The test results are as follows, pmbench score promote rate (accesses/s) MB/s ------------- ------------ base 146887704.1 725.6 hot selection 165695601.2 544.0 rate limit 162814569.8 165.2 auto adjustment 170495294.0 136.9 From the results above, With hot page selection patch [1/3], the pmbench score increases about 12.8%, and promote rate (overhead) decreases about 25.0%, compared with base kernel. With rate limit patch [2/3], pmbench score decreases about 1.7%, and promote rate decreases about 69.6%, compared with hot page selection patch. With threshold auto adjustment patch [3/3], pmbench score increases about 4.7%, and promote rate decrease about 17.1%, compared with rate limit patch. Baolin helped to test the patchset with MySQL on a machine which contains 1 DRAM node (30G) and 1 PMEM node (126G). sysbench /usr/share/sysbench/oltp_read_write.lua \ ...... --tables=200 \ --table-size=1000000 \ --report-interval=10 \ --threads=16 \ --time=120 The tps can be improved about 5%. This patch (of 3): To optimize page placement in a memory tiering system with NUMA balancing, the hot pages in the slow memory node need to be identified. Essentially, the original NUMA balancing implementation selects the mostly recently accessed (MRU) pages to promote. But this isn't a perfect algorithm to identify the hot pages. Because the pages with quite low access frequency may be accessed eventually given the NUMA balancing page table scanning period could be quite long (e.g. 60 seconds). The most frequently accessed (MFU) algorithm is better. So, in this patch we implemented a better hot page selection algorithm. Which is based on NUMA balancing page table scanning and hint page fault as follows, - When the page tables of the processes are scanned to change PTE/PMD to be PROT_NONE, the current time is recorded in struct page as scan time. - When the page is accessed, hint page fault will occur. The scan time is gotten from the struct page. And The hint page fault latency is defined as hint page fault time - scan time The shorter the hint page fault latency of a page is, the higher the probability of their access frequency to be higher. So the hint page fault latency is a better estimation of the page hot/cold. It's hard to find some extra space in struct page to hold the scan time. Fortunately, we can reuse some bits used by the original NUMA balancing. NUMA balancing uses some bits in struct page to store the page accessing CPU and PID (referring to page_cpupid_xchg_last()). Which is used by the multi-stage node selection algorithm to avoid to migrate pages shared accessed by the NUMA nodes back and forth. But for pages in the slow memory node, even if they are shared accessed by multiple NUMA nodes, as long as the pages are hot, they need to be promoted to the fast memory node. So the accessing CPU and PID information are unnecessary for the slow memory pages. We can reuse these bits in struct page to record the scan time. For the fast memory pages, these bits are used as before. For the hot threshold, the default value is 1 second, which works well in our performance test. All pages with hint page fault latency < hot threshold will be considered hot. It's hard for users to determine the hot threshold. So we don't provide a kernel ABI to set it, just provide a debugfs interface for advanced users to experiment. We will continue to work on a hot threshold automatic adjustment mechanism. The downside of the above method is that the response time to the workload hot spot changing may be much longer. For example, - A previous cold memory area becomes hot - The hint page fault will be triggered. But the hint page fault latency isn't shorter than the hot threshold. So the pages will not be promoted. - When the memory area is scanned again, maybe after a scan period, the hint page fault latency measured will be shorter than the hot threshold and the pages will be promoted. To mitigate this, if there are enough free space in the fast memory node, the hot threshold will not be used, all pages will be promoted upon the hint page fault for fast response. Thanks Zhong Jiang reported and tested the fix for a bug when disabling memory tiering mode dynamically.

2022-08-23sched/fair: Remove redundant cpu_cgrp_subsys->fork()Chengming Zhou
We use cpu_cgrp_subsys->fork() to set task group for the new fair task in cgroup_post_fork(). Since commit b1e8206582f9 ("sched: Fix yet more sched_fork() races") has already set_task_rq() for the new fair task in sched_cgroup_fork(), so cpu_cgrp_subsys->fork() can be removed. cgroup_can_fork() --> pin parent's sched_task_group sched_cgroup_fork() __set_task_cpu() set_task_rq() cgroup_post_fork() ss->fork() := cpu_cgroup_fork() sched_change_group(..., TASK_SET_GROUP) task_set_group_fair() set_task_rq() --> can be removed After this patch's change, task_change_group_fair() only need to care about task cgroup migration, make the code much simplier.

2022-08-23sched/fair: Maintain task se depth in set_task_rq()Chengming Zhou
Previously we only maintain task se depth in task_move_group_fair(), if a !fair task change task group, its se depth will not be updated, so commit eb7a59b2c888 ("sched/fair: Reset se-depth when task switched to FAIR") fix the problem by updating se depth in switched_to_fair() too. Then commit daa59407b558 ("sched/fair: Unify switched_{from,to}_fair() and task_move_group_fair()") unified these two functions, moved se.depth setting to attach_task_cfs_rq(), which further into attach_entity_cfs_rq() with commit df217913e72e ("sched/fair: Factorize attach/detach entity"). This patch move task se depth maintenance from attach_entity_cfs_rq() to set_task_rq(), which will be called when CPU/cgroup change, so its depth will always be correct. This patch is preparation for the next patch.

2022-08-12sched/all: Change all BUG_ON() instances in the scheduler to WARN_ON_ONCE()Ingo Molnar
There's no good reason to crash a user's system with a BUG_ON(), chances are high that they'll never even see the crash message on Xorg, and it won't make it into the syslog either. By using a WARN_ON_ONCE() we at least give the user a chance to report any bugs triggered here - instead of getting silent hangs. None of these WARN_ON_ONCE()s are supposed to trigger, ever - so we ignore cases where a NULL check is done via a BUG_ON() and we let a NULL pointer through after a WARN_ON_ONCE(). There's one exception: WARN_ON_ONCE() arguments with side-effects, such as locking - in this case we use the return value of the WARN_ON_ONCE(), such as in: - BUG_ON(!lock_task_sighand(p, &flags)); + if (WARN_ON_ONCE(!lock_task_sighand(p, &flags))) + return; Suggested-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/YvSsKcAXISmshtHo@gmail.com
