sched/core: Fix task and run queue sched_info::run_delay inconsistencies
Mike Meyer reported the following bug: > During evaluation of some performance data, it was discovered thread > and run queue run_delay accounting data was inconsistent with the other > accounting data that was collected. Further investigation found under > certain circumstances execution time was leaking into the task and > run queue accounting of run_delay. > > Consider the following sequence: > > a. thread is running. > b. thread moves beween cgroups, changes scheduling class or priority. > c. thread sleeps OR > d. thread involuntarily gives up cpu. > > a. implies: > > thread->sched_info.last_queued = 0 > > a. and b. results in the following: > > 1. dequeue_task(rq, thread) > > sched_info_dequeued(rq, thread) > delta = 0 > > sched_info_reset_dequeued(thread) > thread->sched_info.last_queued = 0 > > thread->sched_info.run_delay += delta > > 2. enqueue_task(rq, thread) > > sched_info_queued(rq, thread) > > /* thread is still on cpu at this point. */ > thread->sched_info.last_queued = task_rq(thread)->clock; > > c. results in: > > dequeue_task(rq, thread) > > sched_info_dequeued(rq, thread) > > /* delta is execution time not run_delay. */ > delta = task_rq(thread)->clock - thread->sched_info.last_queued > > sched_info_reset_dequeued(thread) > thread->sched_info.last_queued = 0 > > thread->sched_info.run_delay += delta > > Since thread was running between enqueue_task(rq, thread) and > dequeue_task(rq, thread), the delta above is really execution > time and not run_delay. > > d. results in: > > __sched_info_switch(thread, next_thread) > > sched_info_depart(rq, thread) > > sched_info_queued(rq, thread) > > /* last_queued not updated due to being non-zero */ > return > > Since thread was running between enqueue_task(rq, thread) and > __sched_info_switch(thread, next_thread), the execution time > between enqueue_task(rq, thread) and > __sched_info_switch(thread, next_thread) now will become > associated with run_delay due to when last_queued was last updated. > This alternative patch solves the problem by not calling sched_info_{de,}queued() in {de,en}queue_task(). Therefore the sched_info state is preserved and things work as expected. By inlining the {de,en}queue_task() functions the new condition becomes (mostly) a compile-time constant and we'll not emit any new branch instructions. It even shrinks the code (due to inlining {en,de}queue_task()): $ size defconfig-build/kernel/sched/core.o defconfig-build/kernel/sched/core.o.orig text data bss dec hex filename 64019 23378 2344 89741 15e8d defconfig-build/kernel/sched/core.o 64149 23378 2344 89871 15f0f defconfig-build/kernel/sched/core.o.orig Reported-by: Mike Meyer <Mike.Meyer@Teradata.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20150930154413.GO3604@twins.programming.kicks-ass.net Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
