2025-01-27sched_ext: Move built-in idle CPU selection policy to a separate fileAndrea Righi
As ext.c is becoming quite large, move the idle CPU selection policy to separate files (ext_idle.c / ext_idle.h) for better code readability. Moreover, group together all the idle CPU selection kfunc's to the same btf_kfunc_id_set block. No functional changes, this is purely code reorganization.

2025-01-27sched_ext: Fix lock imbalance in dispatch_to_local_dsq()Andrea Righi
While performing the rq locking dance in dispatch_to_local_dsq(), we may trigger the following lock imbalance condition, in particular when multiple tasks are rapidly changing CPU affinity (i.e., running a `stress-ng --race-sched 0`): [ 13.413579] ===================================== [ 13.413660] WARNING: bad unlock balance detected!

2025-01-27sched_ext: Fix incorrect autogroup migration detectionTejun Heo
scx_move_task() is called from sched_move_task() and tells the BPF scheduler that cgroup migration is being committed. sched_move_task() is used by both cgroup and autogroup migrations and scx_move_task() tried to filter out autogroup migrations by testing the destination cgroup and PF_EXITING but this is not enough. In fact, without explicitly tagging the thread which is doing the cgroup migration, there is no good way to tell apart scx_move_task() invocations for racing migration to the root cgroup and an autogroup migration. This led to scx_move_task() incorrectly ignoring a migration from non-root cgroup to an autogroup of the root cgroup triggering the following warning: WARNING: CPU: 7 PID: 1 at kernel/sched/ext.c:3725 scx_cgroup_can_attach+0x196/0x340 ... Call Trace: <TASK> cgroup_migrate_execute+0x5b1/0x700 cgroup_attach_task+0x296/0x400 __cgroup_procs_write+0x128/0x140 cgroup_procs_write+0x17/0x30 kernfs_fop_write_iter+0x141/0x1f0 vfs_write+0x31d/0x4a0 __x64_sys_write+0x72/0xf0 do_syscall_64+0x82/0x160 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x76/0x7e Fix it by adding an argument to sched_move_task() that indicates whether the moving is for a cgroup or autogroup migration. After the change, scx_move_task() is called only for cgroup migrations and renamed to scx_cgroup_move_task().

2025-01-24hung_task: add task->flags, blocked by coredump to logOxana Kharitonova
Resending this patch as I haven't received feedback on my initial submission https://lore.kernel.org/all/20241204182953.10854-1-oxana@cloudflare.com/ For the processes which are terminated abnormally the kernel can provide a coredump if enabled. When the coredump is performed, the process and all its threads are put into the D state (TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE | TASK_FREEZABLE). On the other hand, we have kernel thread khungtaskd which monitors the processes in the D state. If the task stuck in the D state more than kernel.hung_task_timeout_secs, the hung_task alert appears in the kernel log. The higher memory usage of a process, the longer it takes to create coredump, the longer tasks are in the D state. We have hung_task alerts for the processes with memory usage above 10Gb. Although, our kernel.hung_task_timeout_secs is 10 sec when the default is 120 sec. Adding additional information to the log that the task is blocked by coredump will help with monitoring. Another approach might be to completely filter out alerts for such tasks, but in that case we would lose transparency about what is putting pressure on some system resources, e.g. we saw an increase in I/O when coredump occurs due its writing to disk. Additionally, it would be helpful to have task_struct->flags in the log from the function sched_show_task(). Currently it prints task_struct->thread_info->flags, this seems misleading as the line starts with "task:xxxx".

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/frederic/linux-dynticks Pull kthread updates from Frederic Weisbecker: "Kthreads affinity follow either of 4 existing different patterns: 1) Per-CPU kthreads must stay affine to a single CPU and never execute relevant code on any other CPU. This is currently handled by smpboot code which takes care of CPU-hotplug operations. Affinity here is a correctness constraint. 2) Some kthreads _have_ to be affine to a specific set of CPUs and can't run anywhere else. The affinity is set through kthread_bind_mask() and the subsystem takes care by itself to handle CPU-hotplug operations. Affinity here is assumed to be a correctness constraint. 3) Per-node kthreads _prefer_ to be affine to a specific NUMA node. This is not a correctness constraint but merely a preference in terms of memory locality. kswapd and kcompactd both fall into this category. The affinity is set manually like for any other task and CPU-hotplug is supposed to be handled by the relevant subsystem so that the task is properly reaffined whenever a given CPU from the node comes up. Also care should be taken so that the node affinity doesn't cross isolated (nohz_full) cpumask boundaries. 4) Similar to the previous point except kthreads have a _preferred_ affinity different than a node. Both RCU boost kthreads and RCU exp kworkers fall into this category as they refer to "RCU nodes" from a distinctly distributed tree. Currently the preferred affinity patterns (3 and 4) have at least 4 identified users, with more or less success when it comes to handle CPU-hotplug operations and CPU isolation. Each of which do it in its own ad-hoc way. This is an infrastructure proposal to handle this with the following API changes: - kthread_create_on_node() automatically affines the created kthread to its target node unless it has been set as per-cpu or bound with kthread_bind[_mask]() before the first wake-up. - kthread_affine_preferred() is a new function that can be called right after kthread_create_on_node() to specify a preferred affinity different than the specified node. When the preferred affinity can't be applied because the possible targets are offline or isolated (nohz_full), the kthread is affine to the housekeeping CPUs (which means to all online CPUs most of the time or only the non-nohz_full CPUs when nohz_full= is set). kswapd, kcompactd, RCU boost kthreads and RCU exp kworkers have been converted, along with a few old drivers. Summary of the changes: - Consolidate a bunch of ad-hoc implementations of kthread_run_on_cpu() - Introduce task_cpu_fallback_mask() that defines the default last resort affinity of a task to become nohz_full aware - Add some correctness check to ensure kthread_bind() is always called before the first kthread wake up. - Default affine kthread to its preferred node. - Convert kswapd / kcompactd and remove their halfway working ad-hoc affinity implementation - Implement kthreads preferred affinity - Unify kthread worker and kthread API's style - Convert RCU kthreads to the new API and remove the ad-hoc affinity implementation" * tag 'kthread-for-6.14-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/frederic/linux-dynticks: kthread: modify kernel-doc function name to match code rcu: Use kthread preferred affinity for RCU exp kworkers treewide: Introduce kthread_run_worker[_on_cpu]() kthread: Unify kthread_create_on_cpu() and kthread_create_worker_on_cpu() automatic format rcu: Use kthread preferred affinity for RCU boost kthread: Implement preferred affinity mm: Create/affine kswapd to its preferred node mm: Create/affine kcompactd to its preferred node kthread: Default affine kthread to its preferred NUMA node kthread: Make sure kthread hasn't started while binding it sched,arm64: Handle CPU isolation on last resort fallback rq selection arm64: Exclude nohz_full CPUs from 32bits el0 support lib: test_objpool: Use kthread_run_on_cpu() kallsyms: Use kthread_run_on_cpu() soc/qman: test: Use kthread_run_on_cpu() arm/bL_switcher: Use kthread_run_on_cpu()

2025-01-21sched/fair: Fix inaccurate h_nr_runnable accounting with delayed dequeueK Prateek Nayak
set_delayed() adjusts cfs_rq->h_nr_runnable for the hierarchy when an entity is delayed irrespective of whether the entity corresponds to a task or a cfs_rq. Consider the following scenario: root / \ A B (*) delayed since B is no longer eligible on root | | Task0 Task1 <--- dequeue_task_fair() - task blocks When Task1 blocks (dequeue_entity() for task's se returns true), dequeue_entities() will continue adjusting cfs_rq->h_nr_* for the hierarchy of Task1. However, when the sched_entity corresponding to cfs_rq B is delayed, set_delayed() will adjust the h_nr_runnable for the hierarchy too leading to both dequeue_entity() and set_delayed() decrementing h_nr_runnable for the dequeue of the same task. A SCHED_WARN_ON() to inspect h_nr_runnable post its update in dequeue_entities() like below: cfs_rq->h_nr_runnable -= h_nr_runnable; SCHED_WARN_ON(((int) cfs_rq->h_nr_runnable) < 0); is consistently tripped when running wakeup intensive workloads like hackbench in a cgroup. This error is self correcting since cfs_rq are per-cpu and cannot migrate. The entitiy is either picked for full dequeue or is requeued when a task wakes up below it. Both those paths call clear_delayed() which again increments h_nr_runnable of the hierarchy without considering if the entity corresponds to a task or not. h_nr_runnable will eventually reflect the correct value however in the interim, the incorrect values can still influence PELT calculation which uses se->runnable_weight or cfs_rq->h_nr_runnable. Since only delayed tasks take the early return path in dequeue_entities() and enqueue_task_fair(), adjust the h_nr_runnable in {set,clear}_delayed() only when a task is delayed as this path skips the h_nr_* update loops and returns early. For entities corresponding to cfs_rq, the h_nr_* update loop in the caller will do the right thing.

2025-01-13lazy tlb: fix hotplug exit race with MMU_LAZY_TLB_SHOOTDOWNNicholas Piggin
CPU unplug first calls __cpu_disable(), and that's where powerpc calls cleanup_cpu_mmu_context(), which clears this CPU from mm_cpumask() of all mms in the system. However this CPU may still be using a lazy tlb mm, and its mm_cpumask bit will be cleared from it. The CPU does not switch away from the lazy tlb mm until arch_cpu_idle_dead() calls idle_task_exit(). If that user mm exits in this window, it will not be subject to the lazy tlb mm shootdown and may be freed while in use as a lazy mm by the CPU that is being unplugged. cleanup_cpu_mmu_context() could be moved later, but it looks better to move the lazy tlb mm switching earlier. The problem with doing the lazy mm switching in idle_task_exit() is explained in commit bf2c59fce4074 ("sched/core: Fix illegal RCU from offline CPUs"), which added a wart to switch away from the mm but leave it set in active_mm to be cleaned up later. So instead, switch away from the lazy tlb mm at sched_cpu_wait_empty(), which is the last hotplug state before teardown (CPUHP_AP_SCHED_WAIT_EMPTY). This CPU will never switch to a user thread from this point, so it has no chance to pick up a new lazy tlb mm. This removes the lazy tlb mm handling wart in CPU unplug. With this, idle_task_exit() is not needed anymore and can be cleaned up. This leaves the prototype alone, to be cleaned after this change. herton: took the suggestions from https://lore.kernel.org/all/87jzvyprsw.ffs@tglx/ and made adjustments on the initial patch proposed by Nicholas.

2025-01-13kasan: make kasan_record_aux_stack_noalloc() the default behaviourPeter Zijlstra
kasan_record_aux_stack_noalloc() was introduced to record a stack trace without allocating memory in the process. It has been added to callers which were invoked while a raw_spinlock_t was held. More and more callers were identified and changed over time. Is it a good thing to have this while functions try their best to do a locklessly setup? The only downside of having kasan_record_aux_stack() not allocate any memory is that we end up without a stacktrace if stackdepot runs out of memory and at the same stacktrace was not recorded before To quote Marco Elver from https://lore.kernel.org/all/CANpmjNPmQYJ7pv1N3cuU8cP18u7PP_uoZD8YxwZd4jtbof9nVQ@mail.gmail.com/ | I'd be in favor, it simplifies things. And stack depot should be | able to replenish its pool sufficiently in the "non-aux" cases | i.e. regular allocations. Worst case we fail to record some | aux stacks, but I think that's only really bad if there's a bug | around one of these allocations. In general the probabilities | of this being a regression are extremely small [...] Make the kasan_record_aux_stack_noalloc() behaviour default as kasan_record_aux_stack().

If a task wakes before psi_sched_switch() adjusts the PSI flags, skip any modifications in psi_enqueue() which would still see the flags of a running task and not a blocked one. Instead, rely on psi_sched_switch() to do the right thing. Since the status returned by try_to_block_task() may no longer be true by the time schedule reaches psi_sched_switch(), check if the task is blocked or not using a combination of task_on_rq_queued() and p->se.sched_delayed checks.

2025-01-13sched/core: Prioritize migrating eligible tasks in sched_balance_rq()Hao Jia
When the PLACE_LAG scheduling feature is enabled and dst_cfs_rq->nr_queued is greater than 1, if a task is ineligible (lag < 0) on the source cpu runqueue, it will also be ineligible when it is migrated to the destination cpu runqueue. Because we will keep the original equivalent lag of the task in place_entity(). So if the task was ineligible before, it will still be ineligible after migration. So in sched_balance_rq(), we prioritize migrating eligible tasks, and we soft-limit ineligible tasks, allowing them to migrate only when nr_balance_failed is non-zero to avoid load-balancing trying very hard to balance the load. Below are some benchmark test results. From my test results, this patch shows a slight improvement on hackbench.

2025-01-13sched/fair: Fix update_cfs_group() vs DELAY_DEQUEUEPeter Zijlstra
Normally dequeue_entities() will continue to dequeue an empty group entity; except DELAY_DEQUEUE changes things -- it retains empty entities such that they might continue to compete and burn off some lag. However, doing this results in update_cfs_group() re-computing the cgroup weight 'slice' for an empty group, which it (rightly) figures isn't much at all. This in turn means that the delayed entity is not competing at the expected weight. Worse, the very low weight causes its lag to be inflated, which combined with avg_vruntime() using scale_load_down(), leads to artifacts. As such, don't adjust the weight for empty group entities and let them compete at their original weight.

2025-01-12delayacct: add delay min to record delay peakWang Yaxin
Delay accounting can now calculate the average delay of processes, detect the overall system load, and also record the 'delay max' to identify potential abnormal delays. However, 'delay min' can help us identify another useful delay peak. By comparing the difference between 'delay max' and 'delay min', we can understand the optimization space for latency, providing a reference for the optimization of latency performance.

2025-01-12delayacct: add delay max to record delay peakWang Yaxin
Introduce the use cases of delay max, which can help quickly detect potential abnormal delays in the system and record the types and specific details of delay spikes. Problem ======== Delay accounting can track the average delay of processes to show system workload. However, when a process experiences a significant delay, maybe a delay spike, which adversely affects performance, getdelays can only display the average system delay over a period of time. Yet, average delay is unhelpful for diagnosing delay peak. It is not even possible to determine which type of delay has spiked, as this information might be masked by the average delay.

2025-01-10sched_ext: idle: Refresh idle masks during idle-to-idle transitionsAndrea Righi
With the consolidation of put_prev_task/set_next_task(), see commit 436f3eed5c69 ("sched: Combine the last put_prev_task() and the first set_next_task()"), we are now skipping the transition between these two functions when the previous and the next tasks are the same. As a result, the scx idle state of a CPU is updated only when transitioning to or from the idle thread. While this is generally correct, it can lead to uneven and inefficient core utilization in certain scenarios [1]. A typical scenario involves proactive wake-ups: scx_bpf_pick_idle_cpu() selects and marks an idle CPU as busy, followed by a wake-up via scx_bpf_kick_cpu(), without dispatching any tasks. In this case, the CPU continues running the idle thread, returns to idle, but remains marked as busy, preventing it from being selected again as an idle CPU (until a task eventually runs on it and releases the CPU). For example, running a workload that uses 20% of each CPU, combined with an scx scheduler using proactive wake-ups, results in the following core utilization: CPU 0: 25.7% CPU 1: 29.3% CPU 2: 26.5% CPU 3: 25.5% CPU 4: 0.0% CPU 5: 25.5% CPU 6: 0.0% CPU 7: 10.5% To address this, refresh the idle state also in pick_task_idle(), during idle-to-idle transitions, but only trigger ops.update_idle() on actual state changes to prevent unnecessary updates to the scx scheduler and maintain balanced state transitions. With this change in place, the core utilization in the previous example becomes the following: CPU 0: 18.8% CPU 1: 19.4% CPU 2: 18.0% CPU 3: 18.7% CPU 4: 19.3% CPU 5: 18.9% CPU 6: 18.7% CPU 7: 19.3% [1] https://github.com/sched-ext/scx/pull/1139 Fixes: 7c65ae81ea86 ("sched_ext: Don't call put_prev_task_scx() before picking the next task") Signed-off-by: Andrea Righi <arighi@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
2025-01-10sched_ext: Implement scx_bpf_now()Changwoo Min
Returns a high-performance monotonically non-decreasing clock for the current CPU. The clock returned is in nanoseconds. It provides the following properties: 1) High performance: Many BPF schedulers call bpf_ktime_get_ns() frequently to account for execution time and track tasks' runtime properties. Unfortunately, in some hardware platforms, bpf_ktime_get_ns() -- which eventually reads a hardware timestamp counter -- is neither performant nor scalable. scx_bpf_now() aims to provide a high-performance clock by using the rq clock in the scheduler core whenever possible. 2) High enough resolution for the BPF scheduler use cases: In most BPF scheduler use cases, the required clock resolution is lower than the most accurate hardware clock (e.g., rdtsc in x86). scx_bpf_now() basically uses the rq clock in the scheduler core whenever it is valid. It considers that the rq clock is valid from the time the rq clock is updated (update_rq_clock) until the rq is unlocked (rq_unpin_lock). 3) Monotonically non-decreasing clock for the same CPU: scx_bpf_now() guarantees the clock never goes backward when comparing them in the same CPU. On the other hand, when comparing clocks in different CPUs, there is no such guarantee -- the clock can go backward. It provides a monotonically *non-decreasing* clock so that it would provide the same clock values in two different scx_bpf_now() calls in the same CPU during the same period of when the rq clock is valid. An rq clock becomes valid when it is updated using update_rq_clock() and invalidated when the rq is unlocked using rq_unpin_lock(). Let's suppose the following timeline in the scheduler core: T1. rq_lock(rq) T2. update_rq_clock(rq) T3. a sched_ext BPF operation T4. rq_unlock(rq) T5. a sched_ext BPF operation T6. rq_lock(rq) T7. update_rq_clock(rq) For [T2, T4), we consider that rq clock is valid (SCX_RQ_CLK_VALID is set), so scx_bpf_now() calls during [T2, T4) (including T3) will return the rq clock updated at T2. For duration [T4, T7), when a BPF scheduler can still call scx_bpf_now() (T5), we consider the rq clock is invalid (SCX_RQ_CLK_VALID is unset at T4). So when calling scx_bpf_now() at T5, we will return a fresh clock value by calling sched_clock_cpu() internally. Also, to prevent getting outdated rq clocks from a previous scx scheduler, invalidate all the rq clocks when unloading a BPF scheduler. One example of calling scx_bpf_now(), when the rq clock is invalid (like T5), is in scx_central [1]. The scx_central scheduler uses a BPF timer for preemptive scheduling. In every msec, the timer callback checks if the currently running tasks exceed their timeslice. At the beginning of the BPF timer callback (central_timerfn in scx_central.bpf.c), scx_central gets the current time. When the BPF timer callback runs, the rq clock could be invalid, the same as T5. In this case, scx_bpf_now() returns a fresh clock value rather than returning the old one (T2).

2025-01-09sched/fair: Fix EEVDF entity placement bug causing scheduling lagPeter Zijlstra
I noticed this in my traces today: turbostat-1222 [006] d..2. 311.935649: reweight_entity: (ffff888108f13e00-ffff88885ef38440-6) { weight: 1048576 avg_vruntime: 3184159639071 vruntime: 3184159640194 (-1123) deadline: 3184162621107 } -> { weight: 2 avg_vruntime: 3184177463330 vruntime: 3184748414495 (-570951165) deadline: 4747605329439 } turbostat-1222 [006] d..2. 311.935651: reweight_entity: (ffff888108f13e00-ffff88885ef38440-6) { weight: 2 avg_vruntime: 3184177463330 vruntime: 3184748414495 (-570951165) deadline: 4747605329439 } -> { weight: 1048576 avg_vruntime: 3184176414812 vruntime: 3184177464419 (-1049607) deadline: 3184180445332 } Which is a weight transition: 1048576 -> 2 -> 1048576. One would expect the lag to shoot out *AND* come back, notably: -1123*1048576/2 = -588775424 -588775424*2/1048576 = -1123 Except the trace shows it is all off. Worse, subsequent cycles shoot it out further and further. This made me have a very hard look at reweight_entity(), and specifically the ->on_rq case, which is more prominent with DELAY_DEQUEUE. And indeed, it is all sorts of broken. While the computation of the new lag is correct, the computation for the new vruntime, using the new lag is broken for it does not consider the logic set out in place_entity(). With the below patch, I now see things like: migration/12-55 [012] d..3. 309.006650: reweight_entity: (ffff8881e0e6f600-ffff88885f235f40-12) { weight: 977582 avg_vruntime: 4860513347366 vruntime: 4860513347908 (-542) deadline: 4860516552475 } -> { weight: 2 avg_vruntime: 4860528915984 vruntime: 4860793840706 (-264924722) deadline: 6427157349203 } migration/14-62 [014] d..3. 309.006698: reweight_entity: (ffff8881e0e6cc00-ffff88885f3b5f40-15) { weight: 2 avg_vruntime: 4874472992283 vruntime: 4939833828823 (-65360836540) deadline: 6316614641111 } -> { weight: 967149 avg_vruntime: 4874217684324 vruntime: 4874217688559 (-4235) deadline: 4874220535650 } Which isn't perfect yet, but much closer.

2025-01-08treewide: Introduce kthread_run_worker[_on_cpu]()Frederic Weisbecker
kthread_create() creates a kthread without running it yet. kthread_run() creates a kthread and runs it. On the other hand, kthread_create_worker() creates a kthread worker and runs it. This difference in behaviours is confusing. Also there is no way to create a kthread worker and affine it using kthread_bind_mask() or kthread_affine_preferred() before starting it. Consolidate the behaviours and introduce kthread_run_worker[_on_cpu]() that behaves just like kthread_run(). kthread_create_worker[_on_cpu]() will now only create a kthread worker without starting it.

2025-01-08sched_ext: Replace rq_lock() to raw_spin_rq_lock() in scx_ops_bypass()Changwoo Min
scx_ops_bypass() iterates all CPUs to re-enqueue all the scx tasks. For each CPU, it acquires a lock using rq_lock() regardless of whether a CPU is offline or the CPU is currently running a task in a higher scheduler class (e.g., deadline). The rq_lock() is supposed to be used for online CPUs, and the use of rq_lock() may trigger an unnecessary warning in rq_pin_lock(). Therefore, replace rq_lock() to raw_spin_rq_lock() in scx_ops_bypass(). Without this change, we observe the following warning: ===== START ===== [ 6.615205] rq->balance_callback && rq->balance_callback != &balance_push_callback [ 6.615208] WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 0 at kernel/sched/sched.h:1730 __schedule+0x1130/0x1c90 ===== END ===== Fixes: 0e7ffff1b811 ("scx: Fix raciness in scx_ops_bypass()") Signed-off-by: Changwoo Min <changwoo@igalia.com> Acked-by: Andrea Righi <arighi@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
