sched, cpuset: Fix dl_cpu_busy() panic due to empty cs->cpus_allowed

2022-08-03T08:34:26+00:00

With cgroup v2, the cpuset's cpus_allowed mask can be empty indicating that the cpuset will just use the effective CPUs of its parent. So cpuset_can_attach() can call task_can_attach() with an empty mask. This can lead to cpumask_any_and() returns nr_cpu_ids causing the call to dl_bw_of() to crash due to percpu value access of an out of bound CPU value. For example: [80468.182258] BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffffff8b6648b0 : [80468.191019] RIP: 0010:dl_cpu_busy+0x30/0x2b0 : [80468.207946] Call Trace: [80468.208947] cpuset_can_attach+0xa0/0x140 [80468.209953] cgroup_migrate_execute+0x8c/0x490 [80468.210931] cgroup_update_dfl_csses+0x254/0x270 [80468.211898] cgroup_subtree_control_write+0x322/0x400 [80468.212854] kernfs_fop_write_iter+0x11c/0x1b0 [80468.213777] new_sync_write+0x11f/0x1b0 [80468.214689] vfs_write+0x1eb/0x280 [80468.215592] ksys_write+0x5f/0xe0 [80468.216463] do_syscall_64+0x5c/0x80 [80468.224287] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xae Fix that by using effective_cpus instead. For cgroup v1, effective_cpus is the same as cpus_allowed. For v2, effective_cpus is the real cpumask to be used by tasks within the cpuset anyway. Also update task_can_attach()'s 2nd argument name to cs_effective_cpus to reflect the change. In addition, a check is added to task_can_attach() to guard against the possibility that cpumask_any_and() may return a value >= nr_cpu_ids.

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar: "Load-balancing improvements: - Improve NUMA balancing on AMD Zen systems for affine workloads. - Improve the handling of reduced-capacity CPUs in load-balancing. - Energy Model improvements: fix & refine all the energy fairness metrics (PELT), and remove the conservative threshold requiring 6% energy savings to migrate a task. Doing this improves power efficiency for most workloads, and also increases the reliability of energy-efficiency scheduling. - Optimize/tweak select_idle_cpu() to spend (much) less time searching for an idle CPU on overloaded systems. There's reports of several milliseconds spent there on large systems with large workloads ... [ Since the search logic changed, there might be behavioral side effects. ] - Improve NUMA imbalance behavior. On certain systems with spare capacity, initial placement of tasks is non-deterministic, and such an artificial placement imbalance can persist for a long time, hurting (and sometimes helping) performance. The fix is to make fork-time task placement consistent with runtime NUMA balancing placement. Note that some performance regressions were reported against this, caused by workloads that are not memory bandwith limited, which benefit from the artificial locality of the placement bug(s). Mel Gorman's conclusion, with which we concur, was that consistency is better than random workload benefits from non-deterministic bugs: "Given there is no crystal ball and it's a tradeoff, I think it's better to be consistent and use similar logic at both fork time and runtime even if it doesn't have universal benefit." - Improve core scheduling by fixing a bug in sched_core_update_cookie() that caused unnecessary forced idling. - Improve wakeup-balancing by allowing same-LLC wakeup of idle CPUs for newly woken tasks. - Fix a newidle balancing bug that introduced unnecessary wakeup latencies. ABI improvements/fixes: - Do not check capabilities and do not issue capability check denial messages when a scheduler syscall doesn't require privileges. (Such as increasing niceness.) - Add forced-idle accounting to cgroups too. - Fix/improve the RSEQ ABI to not just silently accept unknown flags. (No existing tooling is known to have learned to rely on the previous behavior.) - Depreciate the (unused) RSEQ_CS_FLAG_NO_RESTART_ON_* flags. Optimizations: - Optimize & simplify leaf_cfs_rq_list() - Micro-optimize set_nr_{and_not,if}_polling() via try_cmpxchg(). Misc fixes & cleanups: - Fix the RSEQ self-tests on RISC-V and Glibc 2.35 systems. - Fix a full-NOHZ bug that can in some cases result in the tick not being re-enabled when the last SCHED_RT task is gone from a runqueue but there's still SCHED_OTHER tasks around. - Various PREEMPT_RT related fixes. - Misc cleanups & smaller fixes" * tag 'sched-core-2022-08-01' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (32 commits) rseq: Kill process when unknown flags are encountered in ABI structures rseq: Deprecate RSEQ_CS_FLAG_NO_RESTART_ON_* flags sched/core: Fix the bug that task won't enqueue into core tree when update cookie nohz/full, sched/rt: Fix missed tick-reenabling bug in dequeue_task_rt() sched/core: Always flush pending blk_plug sched/fair: fix case with reduced capacity CPU sched/core: Use try_cmpxchg in set_nr_{and_not,if}_polling sched/core: add forced idle accounting for cgroups sched/fair: Remove the energy margin in feec() sched/fair: Remove task_util from effective utilization in feec() sched/fair: Use the same cpumask per-PD throughout find_energy_efficient_cpu() sched/fair: Rename select_idle_mask to select_rq_mask sched, drivers: Remove max param from effective_cpu_util()/sched_cpu_util() sched/fair: Decay task PELT values during wakeup migration sched/fair: Provide u64 read for 32-bits arch helper sched/fair: Introduce SIS_UTIL to search idle CPU based on sum of util_avg sched: only perform capability check on privileged operation sched: Remove unused function group_first_cpu() sched/fair: Remove redundant word " *" selftests/rseq: check if libc rseq support is registered ...

cgroup: Skip subtree root in cgroup_update_dfl_csses()

2022-07-28T17:26:30+00:00

The cgroup_update_dfl_csses() function updates css associations when a cgroup's subtree_control file is modified. Any changes made to a cgroup's subtree_control file, however, will only affect its descendants but not the cgroup itself. So there is no point in migrating csses associated with that cgroup. We can skip them instead. Signed-off-by: Waiman Long Reviewed-by: Michal Koutný Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

cgroup: remove "no" prefixed mount options

2022-07-27T17:54:55+00:00

30312730bd02 ("cgroup: Add "no" prefixed mount options") added "no" prefixed mount options to allow turning them off and 6a010a49b63a ("cgroup: Make !percpu threadgroup_rwsem operations optional") added one more "no" prefixed mount option. However, Michal pointed out that the "no" prefixed options aren't necessary in allowing mount options to be turned off: # grep group /proc/mounts cgroup2 /sys/fs/cgroup cgroup2 rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,nsdelegate,memory_recursiveprot 0 0 # mount -o remount,nsdelegate,memory_recursiveprot none /sys/fs/cgroup # grep cgroup /proc/mounts cgroup2 /sys/fs/cgroup cgroup2 rw,relatime,nsdelegate,memory_recursiveprot 0 0 Note that this is different from the remount behavior when the mount(1) is invoked without the device argument - "none": # grep cgroup /proc/mounts cgroup2 /sys/fs/cgroup cgroup2 rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,nsdelegate,memory_recursiveprot 0 0 # mount -o remount,nsdelegate,memory_recursiveprot /sys/fs/cgroup # grep cgroup /proc/mounts cgroup2 /sys/fs/cgroup cgroup2 rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,nsdelegate,memory_recursiveprot 0 0 While a bit confusing, given that there is a way to turn off the options, there's no reason to have the explicit "no" prefixed options. Let's remove them. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo Cc: Michal Koutný Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

cgroup: Make !percpu threadgroup_rwsem operations optional

2022-07-23T14:29:02+00:00

3942a9bd7b58 ("locking, rcu, cgroup: Avoid synchronize_sched() in __cgroup_procs_write()") disabled percpu operations on threadgroup_rwsem because the impiled synchronize_rcu() on write locking was pushing up the latencies too much for android which constantly moves processes between cgroups. This makes the hotter paths - fork and exit - slower as they're always forced into the slow path. There is no reason to force this on everyone especially given that more common static usage pattern can now completely avoid write-locking the rwsem. Write-locking is elided when turning on and off controllers on empty sub-trees and CLONE_INTO_CGROUP enables seeding a cgroup without grabbing the rwsem. Restore the default percpu operations and introduce the mount option "favordynmods" and config option CGROUP_FAVOR_DYNMODS for users who need lower latencies for the dynamic operations.

cgroup: Elide write-locking threadgroup_rwsem when updating csses on an empty subtree

2022-07-23T05:12:37+00:00

cgroup_update_dfl_csses() write-lock the threadgroup_rwsem as updating the csses can trigger process migrations. However, if the subtree doesn't contain any tasks, there aren't gonna be any cgroup migrations. This condition can be trivially detected by testing whether mgctx.preloaded_src_csets is empty. Elide write-locking threadgroup_rwsem if the subtree is empty. After this optimization, the usage pattern of creating a cgroup, enabling the necessary controllers, and then seeding it with CLONE_INTO_CGROUP and then removing the cgroup after it becomes empty doesn't need to write-lock threadgroup_rwsem at all.

sched/core: add forced idle accounting for cgroups

2022-07-04T07:23:07+00:00

4feee7d1260 previously added per-task forced idle accounting. This patch extends this to also include cgroups. rstat is used for cgroup accounting, except for the root, which uses kcpustat in order to bypass the need for doing an rstat flush when reading root stats. Only cgroup v2 is supported. Similar to the task accounting, the cgroup accounting requires that schedstats is enabled.
