Li Zefan ee24d37977 cpuset: fix unchecked calls to NODEMASK_ALLOC()
Those functions that use NODEMASK_ALLOC() can't propagate errno
to users, but will fail silently.

Fix it by using a static nodemask_t variable for each function, and
those variables are protected by cgroup_mutex;

Li Zefan 9303e0c481 cpuset: remove unneeded NODEMASK_ALLOC() in cpuset_sprintf_memlist()
It's not necessary to copy cpuset->mems_allowed to a buffer allocated by
NODEMASK_ALLOC().  Just pass it to nodelist_scnprintf().

As spotted by Paul, a side effect is we fix a bug that the function can
return -ENOMEM but the caller doesn't expect negative return value.
Therefore change the return value of cpuset_sprintf_cpulist() and
cpuset_sprintf_memlist() from int to size_t.

Tejun Heo 0b2e918aa9 sched, cpuset: Drop __cpuexit from cpu hotplug callbacks
Commit 3a101d05 (sched: adjust when cpu_active and cpuset
configurations are updated during cpu on/offlining) added
hotplug notifiers marked with __cpuexit; however, ia64 drops
text in __cpuexit during link unlike x86.

This means that functions which are referenced during init but used
only for cpu hot unplugging afterwards shouldn't be marked with
__cpuexit. Drop __cpuexit from those functions.

Tejun Heo 3a101d0548 sched: adjust when cpu_active and cpuset configurations are updated during cpu on/offlining
Currently, when a cpu goes down, cpu_active is cleared before
CPU_DOWN_PREPARE starts and cpuset configuration is updated from a
default priority cpu notifier.  When a cpu is coming up, it's set
before CPU_ONLINE but cpuset configuration again is updated from the
same cpu notifier.

For cpu notifiers, this presents an inconsistent state.  Threads which
a CPU_DOWN_PREPARE notifier expects to be bound to the CPU can be
migrated to other cpus because the cpu is no more inactive.

Fix it by updating cpu_active in the highest priority cpu notifier and
cpuset configuration in the second highest when a cpu is coming up.
Down path is updated similarly.  This guarantees that all other cpu
notifiers see consistent cpu_active and cpuset configuration.

cpuset_track_online_cpus() notifier is converted to
cpuset_update_active_cpus() which just updates the configuration and
now called from cpuset_cpu_[in]active() notifiers registered from
sched_init_smp().  If cpuset is disabled, cpuset_update_active_cpus()
degenerates into partition_sched_domains() making separate notifier
for !CONFIG_CPUSETS unnecessary.

This problem is triggered by cmwq.  During CPU_DOWN_PREPARE, hotplug
callback creates a kthread and kthread_bind()s it to the target cpu,
and the thread is expected to run on that cpu.

* Ingo's test discovered __cpuinit/exit markups were incorrect.
  Fixed.

Jack Steiner 6adef3ebe5 cpusets: new round-robin rotor for SLAB allocations
We have observed several workloads running on multi-node systems where
memory is assigned unevenly across the nodes in the system.  There are
numerous reasons for this but one is the round-robin rotor in
cpuset_mem_spread_node().

For example, a simple test that writes a multi-page file will allocate
pages on nodes 0 2 4 6 ...  Odd nodes are skipped.  (Sometimes it
allocates on odd nodes & skips even nodes).

An example is shown below.  The program "lfile" writes a file consisting
of 10 pages.  The program then mmaps the file & uses get_mempolicy(...,
MPOL_F_NODE) to determine the nodes where the file pages were allocated.
The output is shown below:

	# ./lfile
	 allocated on nodes: 2 4 6 0 1 2 6 0 2

There is a single rotor that is used for allocating both file pages & slab
pages.  Writing the file allocates both a data page & a slab page
(buffer_head).  This advances the RR rotor 2 nodes for each page
allocated.

A quick confirmation seems to confirm this is the cause of the uneven
allocation:

	# echo 0 >/dev/cpuset/memory_spread_slab
	# ./lfile
	 allocated on nodes: 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5

This patch introduces a second rotor that is used for slab allocations.

Miao Xie c0ff7453bb cpuset,mm: fix no node to alloc memory when changing cpuset's mems
Before applying this patch, cpuset updates task->mems_allowed and
mempolicy by setting all new bits in the nodemask first, and clearing all
old unallowed bits later.  But in the way, the allocator may find that
there is no node to alloc memory.

The reason is that cpuset rebinds the task's mempolicy, it cleans the
nodes which the allocater can alloc pages on, for example:

(mpol: mempolicy)
	task1			task1's mpol	task2
	alloc page		1
	  alloc on node0? NO	1
				1		change mems from 1 to 0
				1		rebind task1's mpol
				0-1		  set new bits
				0	  	  clear disallowed bits
	  alloc on node1? NO	0
	  ...
	can't alloc page
	  goto oom

This patch fixes this problem by expanding the nodes range first(set newly
allowed bits) and shrink it lazily(clear newly disallowed bits).  So we
use a variable to tell the write-side task that read-side task is reading
nodemask, and the write-side task clears newly disallowed nodes after
read-side task ends the current memory allocation.

Miao Xie 708c1bbc9d mempolicy: restructure rebinding-mempolicy functions
Nick Piggin reported that the allocator may see an empty nodemask when
changing cpuset's mems[1].  It happens only on the kernel that do not do
atomic nodemask_t stores.  (MAX_NUMNODES > BITS_PER_LONG)

But I found that there is also a problem on the kernel that can do atomic
nodemask_t stores.  The problem is that the allocator can't find a node to
alloc page when changing cpuset's mems though there is a lot of free
memory.  The reason is like this:

(mpol: mempolicy)
	task1			task1's mpol	task2
	alloc page		1
	  alloc on node0? NO	1
				1		change mems from 1 to 0
				1		rebind task1's mpol
				0-1		  set new bits
				0	  	  clear disallowed bits
	  alloc on node1? NO	0
	  ...
	can't alloc page
	  goto oom

I can use the attached program reproduce it by the following step:

# mkdir /dev/cpuset
# mount -t cpuset cpuset /dev/cpuset
# mkdir /dev/cpuset/1
# echo `cat /dev/cpuset/cpus` > /dev/cpuset/1/cpus
# echo `cat /dev/cpuset/mems` > /dev/cpuset/1/mems
# echo $$ > /dev/cpuset/1/tasks
# numactl --membind=`cat /dev/cpuset/mems` ./cpuset_mem_hog <nr_tasks> &
   <nr_tasks> = max(nr_cpus - 1, 1)
# killall -s SIGUSR1 cpuset_mem_hog
# ./change_mems.sh

several hours later, oom will happen though there is a lot of free memory.

This patchset fixes this problem by expanding the nodes range first(set
newly allowed bits) and shrink it lazily(clear newly disallowed bits).  So
we use a variable to tell the write-side task that read-side task is
reading nodemask, and the write-side task clears newly disallowed nodes
after read-side task ends the current memory allocation.

This patch:

In order to fix no node to alloc memory, when we want to update mempolicy
and mems_allowed, we expand the set of nodes first (set all the newly
nodes) and shrink the set of nodes lazily(clean disallowed nodes), But the
mempolicy's rebind functions may breaks the expanding.

So we restructure the mempolicy's rebind functions and split the rebind
work to two steps, just like the update of cpuset's mems: The 1st step:
expand the set of the mempolicy's nodes.  The 2nd step: shrink the set of
the mempolicy's nodes.  It is used when there is no real lock to protect
the mempolicy in the read-side.  Otherwise we can do rebind work at once.

In order to implement it, we define

	enum mpol_rebind_step {
		MPOL_REBIND_ONCE,
		MPOL_REBIND_STEP1,
		MPOL_REBIND_STEP2,
		MPOL_REBIND_NSTEP,
	};

If the mempolicy needn't be updated by two steps, we can pass
MPOL_REBIND_ONCE to the rebind functions.  Or we can pass
MPOL_REBIND_STEP1 to do the first step of the rebind work and pass
MPOL_REBIND_STEP2 to do the second step work.

Besides that, it maybe long time between these two step and we have to
release the lock that protects mempolicy and mems_allowed.  If we hold the
lock once again, we must check whether the current mempolicy is under the
rebinding (the first step has been done) or not, because the task may
alloc a new mempolicy when we don't hold the lock.  So we defined the
following flag to identify it:

#define MPOL_F_REBINDING (1 << 2)

The new functions will be used in the next patch.

Oleg Nesterov 9084bb8246 sched: Make select_fallback_rq() cpuset friendly
Introduce cpuset_cpus_allowed_fallback() helper to fix the cpuset problems
with select_fallback_rq(). It can be called from any context and can't use
any cpuset locks including task_lock(). It is called when the task doesn't
have online cpus in ->cpus_allowed but ttwu/etc must be able to find a
suitable cpu.

I am not proud of this patch. Everything which needs such a fat comment
can't be good even if correct. But I'd prefer to not change the locking
rules in the code I hardly understand, and in any case I believe this
simple change make the code much more correct compared to deadlocks we
currently have.

Oleg Nesterov 897f0b3c3f sched: Kill the broken and deadlockable cpuset_lock/cpuset_cpus_allowed_locked code
This patch just states the fact the cpusets/cpuhotplug interaction is
broken and removes the deadlockable code which only pretends to work.

- cpuset_lock() doesn't really work. It is needed for
  cpuset_cpus_allowed_locked() but we can't take this lock in
  try_to_wake_up()->select_fallback_rq() path.

- cpuset_lock() is deadlockable. Suppose that a task T bound to CPU takes
  callback_mutex. If cpu_down(CPU) happens before T drops callback_mutex
  stop_machine() preempts T, then migration_call(CPU_DEAD) tries to take
  cpuset_lock() and hangs forever because CPU is already dead and thus
  T can't be scheduled.

- cpuset_cpus_allowed_locked() is deadlockable too. It takes task_lock()
  which is not irq-safe, but try_to_wake_up() can be called from irq.

Kill them, and change select_fallback_rq() to use cpu_possible_mask, like
we currently do without CONFIG_CPUSETS.

Also, with or without this patch, with or without CONFIG_CPUSETS, the
callers of select_fallback_rq() can race with each other or with
set_cpus_allowed() pathes.

The subsequent patches try to to fix these problems.

Peter Zijlstra 6ad4c18884 sched: Fix balance vs hotplug race
Since (e761b77: cpu hotplug, sched: Introduce cpu_active_map and redo
sched domain managment) we have cpu_active_mask which is suppose to rule
scheduler migration and load-balancing, except it never (fully) did.

The particular problem being solved here is a crash in try_to_wake_up()
where select_task_rq() ends up selecting an offline cpu because
select_task_rq_fair() trusts the sched_domain tree to reflect the
current state of affairs, similarly select_task_rq_rt() trusts the
root_domain.

However, the sched_domains are updated from CPU_DEAD, which is after the
cpu is taken offline and after stop_machine is done. Therefore it can
race perfectly well with code assuming the domains are right.

Cure this by building the domains from cpu_active_mask on
CPU_DOWN_PREPARE.

Currently partition_sched_domains() takes a 'struct cpumask

have such an array if 'struct cpumask' is undefined, as we plan
for CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y.

So, we make this an array of cpumask_var_t instead: this is the
same for the CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=n case, but requires
multiple allocations for the CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y case.
Hence we add alloc_sched_domains() and free_sched_domains()
functions.

Currently, new mode of the attach function can only tell the subsystem
about the old cgroup of the threadgroup leader.  No subsystem currently
needs that information for each thread that's being moved, but if one were
to be added (for example, one that counts tasks within a group) this bit
would need to be reworked a bit to tell the subsystem the right

Miao Xie 58568d2a82 cpuset,mm: update tasks' mems_allowed in time
Fix allocating page cache/slab object on the unallowed node when memory
spread is set by updating tasks' mems_allowed after its cpuset's mems is
changed.

In order to update tasks' mems_allowed in time, we must modify the code of
memory policy.  Because the memory policy is applied in the process's
context originally.  After applying this patch, one task directly
manipulates anothers mems_allowed, and we use alloc_lock in the
task_struct to protect mems_allowed and memory policy of the task.

But in the fast path, we didn't use lock to protect them, because adding a
lock may lead to performance regression.  But if we don't add a lock,the
task might see no nodes when changing cpuset's mems_allowed to some
non-overlapping set.  In order to avoid it, we set all new allowed nodes,
then clear newly disallowed ones.

[lee.schermerhorn@hp.com:
  The rework of mpol_new() to extract the adjusting of the node mask to
  apply cpuset and mpol flags "context" breaks set_mempolicy() and mbind()
  with MPOL_PREFERRED and a NULL nodemask--i.e., explicit local
  allocation.  Fix this by adding the check for MPOL_PREFERRED and empty
  node mask to mpol_new_mpolicy().

  Remove the now unneeded 'nodes = NULL' from mpol_new().

  Note that mpol_new_mempolicy() is always called with a non-NULL
  'nodes' parameter now that it has been removed from mpol_new().
  Therefore, we don't need to test nodes for NULL before testing it for
  'empty'.  However, just to be extra paranoid, add a VM_BUG_ON() to
  verify this assumption.]
[lee.schermerhorn@hp.com:

  I don't think the function name 'mpol_new_mempolicy' is descriptive
  enough to differentiate it from mpol_new().

  This function applies cpuset set context, usually constraining nodes
  to those allowed by the cpuset.  However, when the 'RELATIVE_NODES flag
  is set, it also translates the nodes.  So I settled on
  'mpol_set_nodemask()', because the comment block for mpol_new() mentions
  that we need to call this function to "set nodes".

  Some additional minor line length, whitespace and typo cleanup.]

Miao Xie f3b39d47eb cpusets: restructure the function cpuset_update_task_memory_state()
The kernel still allocates the page caches on old node after modifying its
cpuset's mems when 'memory_spread_page' was set, or it didn't spread the
page cache evenly over all the nodes that faulting task is allowed to usr
after memory_spread_page was set.  it is caused by the old mem_allowed and
flags of the task, the current kernel doesn't updates them unless some
function invokes cpuset_update_task_memory_state(), it is too late
sometimes.We must update the mem_allowed and the flags of the tasks in
time.

Slab has the same problem.

The following patches fix this bug by updating tasks' mem_allowed and
spread flag after its cpuset's mems or spread flag is changed.

This patch:

Extract a function from cpuset_update_task_memory_state().  It will be
used later for update tasks' page/slab spread flags after its cpuset's
flag is set

David Rientjes 6d7b2f5f9e cpusets: prevent PF_THREAD_BOUND tasks from attaching to non-root cpusets
Kthreads that have the PF_THREAD_BOUND bit set in their flags are bound to a
specific cpu.  Thus, their set of allowed cpus shall not change.

This patch prevents such threads from attaching to non-root cpusets.  They do
not have mempolicies that restrict them to a subset of system nodes and, since
their cpumask may never change, they cannot use any of the features of
cpusets.

The tasks will forever be a member of the root cpuset and will be returned
when listing the tasks attached to that cpuset.

Allow cpusets to be configured/built on non-SMP systems

Currently it's impossible to build cpusets under UML on x86-64, since
cpusets depends on SMP and x86-64 UML doesn't support SMP.

There's code in cpusets that doesn't depend on SMP.  This patch surrounds
the minimum amount of cpusets code with #ifdef CONFIG_SMP in order to
allow cpusets to build/run on UP systems (for testing purposes under UML).

calling update_tasks_nodemask(), but this function might return -ENOMEM.

To avoid this rare case, we allocate the memory before changing

update_cpumask() does.

Not only simplify the code largely, but also avoid allocating an array to

Miao Xie f90d4118ba cpuset: fix possible deadlock in async_rebuild_sched_domains
Lockdep reported some possible circular locking info when we tested cpuset on
NUMA/fake NUMA box.

=======================================================
[ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
2.6.29-rc1-00224-ga652504 #111
-------------------------------------------------------
bash/2968 is trying to acquire lock:
 (events){--..}, at: [<ffffffff8024c8cd>] flush_work+0x24/0xd8

but task is already holding lock:
 (cgroup_mutex){--..}, at: [<ffffffff8026ad1e>] cgroup_lock_live_group+0x12/0x29

which lock already depends on the new lock.
......
-------------------------------------------------------

Steps to reproduce:
# mkdir /dev/cpuset
# mount -t cpuset xxx /dev/cpuset
# mkdir /dev/cpuset/0
# echo 0 > /dev/cpuset/0/cpus
# echo 0 > /dev/cpuset/0/mems
# echo 1 > /dev/cpuset/0/memory_migrate
# cat /dev/zero > /dev/null &
# echo $! > /dev/cpuset/0/tasks

This is because async_rebuild_sched_domains has the following lock sequence:
run_workqueue(async_rebuild_sched_domains)
	-> do_rebuild_sched_domains -> cgroup_lock

But, attaching tasks when memory_migrate is set has following:
cgroup_lock_live_group(cgroup_tasks_write)
	-> do_migrate_pages -> flush_work

This patch fixes it by using a separate workqueue thread.

Miao Xie f5813d9427 cpusets: set task's cpu_allowed to cpu_possible_map when attaching it into top cpuset
I found a bug on my dual-cpu box.  I created a sub cpuset in top cpuset
and assign 1 to its cpus.  And then we attach some tasks into this sub
cpuset.  After this, we offline CPU1.  Now, the tasks in this new cpuset
are moved into top cpuset automatically because there is no cpu in sub
cpuset.  Then we online CPU1, we find all the tasks which doesn't belong
to top cpuset originally just run on CPU0.

We fix this bug by setting task's cpu_allowed to cpu_possible_map when
attaching it into top cpuset.  This method needn't modify the current
behavior of cpusets on CPU hotplug, and all of tasks in top cpuset use
cpu_possible_map to initialize their cpu_allowed.

Miao Xie f481891fdc cpuset: update top cpuset's mems after adding a node
After adding a node into the machine, top cpuset's mems isn't updated.

By reviewing the code, we found that the update function

  cpuset_track_online_nodes()

was invoked after node_states[N_ONLINE] changes.  It is wrong because
N_ONLINE just means node has pgdat, and if node has/added memory, we use
N_HIGH_MEMORY.  So, We should invoke the update function after
node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY] changes, just like its commit says.

This patch fixes it.  And we use notifier of memory hotplug instead of
direct calling of cpuset_track_online_nodes().

Li Zefan 700018e0a7 cpuset: fix regression when failed to generate sched domains
Impact: properly rebuild sched-domains on kmalloc() failure

When cpuset failed to generate sched domains due to kmalloc()
failure, the scheduler should fallback to the single partition
'fallback_doms' and rebuild sched domains, but now it only
destroys but not rebuilds sched domains.

The regression was introduced by:

| commit dfb512ec48
| Author: Max Krasnyansky <maxk@qualcomm.com>
| Date:   Fri Aug 29 13:11:41 2008 -0700
|
|    sched: arch_reinit_sched_domains() must destroy domains to force rebuild

After the above commit, partition_sched_domains(0, NULL, NULL) will
only destroy sched domains and partition_sched_domains(1, NULL, NULL)
will create the default sched domain.

1) seq_file excepts that m->count == m->size when it's buf is full,
   so current code will causes bugs when buf is overflow.

2) There is not too good that cpuset accesses struct seq_file's

Max Krasnyansky cf417141cb sched, cpuset: rework sched domains and CPU hotplug handling (v4)
This is an updated version of my previous cpuset patch on top of
the latest mainline git.
The patch fixes CPU hotplug handling issues in the current cpusets code.
Namely circular locking in rebuild_sched_domains() and unsafe access to
the cpu_online_map in the cpuset cpu hotplug handler.

This version includes changes suggested by Paul Jackson (naming, comments,
style, etc). I also got rid of the separate workqueue thread because it is
now safe to call get_online_cpus() from workqueue callbacks.

Here are some more details:

rebuild_sched_domains() is the only way to rebuild sched domains
correctly based on the current cpuset settings. What this means
is that we need to be able to call it from different contexts,
like cpu hotplug for example.
Also latest scheduler code in -tip now calls rebuild_sched_domains()
directly from functions like arch_reinit_sched_domains().

In order to support that properly we need to rework cpuset locking
rules to avoid circular dependencies, which is what this patch does.
New lock nesting rules are explained in the comments.
We can now safely call rebuild_sched_domains() from virtually any
context. The only requirement is that it needs to be called under
get_online_cpus(). This allows cpu hotplug handlers and the scheduler
to call rebuild_sched_domains() directly.
The rest of the cpuset code now offloads sched domains rebuilds to
a workqueue (async_rebuild_sched_domains()).

This version of the patch addresses comments from the previous review.
I fixed all miss-formated comments and trailing spaces.

I also factored out the code that builds domain masks and split up CPU and
memory hotplug handling. This was needed to simplify locking, to avoid unsafe
access to the cpu_online_map from mem hotplug handler, and in general to make
things cleaner.

The patch passes moderate testing (building kernel with -j 16, creating &
removing domains and bringing cpus off/online at the same time) on the
quad-core2 based machine.

It passes lockdep checks, even with preemptable RCU enabled.
This time I also tested in with suspend/resume path and everything is working
as expected.

Li Zefan 93a6557558 cpuset: fix wrong calculation of relax domain level
When multiple cpusets are overlapping in their 'cpus' and hence they
form a single sched domain, the largest sched_relax_domain_level among
those should be used. But when top_cpuset's sched_load_balance is
set, its sched_relax_domain_level is used regardless other sub-cpusets'.

This patch fixes it by walking the cpuset hierarchy to find the largest
sched_relax_domain_level.

Miao Xie f9b4fb8dab cpusets: update task's cpus_allowed and mems_allowed after CPU/NODE offline/online
The bug is that a task may run on the cpu/node which is not in its
cpuset.cpus/ cpuset.mems.

It can be reproduced by the following commands:
-----------------------------------
# mkdir /dev/cpuset
# mount -t cpuset xxx /dev/cpuset
# mkdir /dev/cpuset/0
# echo 0-1 > /dev/cpuset/0/cpus
# echo 0 > /dev/cpuset/0/mems
# echo $$ > /dev/cpuset/0/tasks
# echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
# echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
-----------------------------------

There is only CPU0 in cpuset.cpus, but the task in this cpuset runs on
both CPU0 and CPU1.

It is because the task's cpu_allowed didn't get updated after we did CPU
offline/online manipulation.  Similar for mem_allowed.

This patch fixes this bug expect for root cpuset.  Because there is a
problem about root cpuset, in that whether it is necessary to update all
the tasks in root cpuset or not after cpu/node offline/online.

If updating, some kernel threads which is bound into a specified cpu will
be unbound.

If not updating, there is a bug in root cpuset.  This bug is also caused
by offline/online manipulation.  For example, there is a dual-cpu machine.
 we create a sub cpuset in root cpuset and assign 1 to its cpus.  And then
we attach some tasks into this sub cpuset.  After this, we offline CPU1.
Now, the tasks in this new cpuset are moved into root cpuset automatically
because there is no cpu in sub cpuset.  Then we online CPU1, we find all
the tasks which doesn't belong to root cpuset originally just run on CPU0.

Maybe we need to add a flag in the task_struct to mark which task can't be
unbound?

Max Krasnyansky e761b77252 cpu hotplug, sched: Introduce cpu_active_map and redo sched domain managment (take 2)
This is based on Linus' idea of creating cpu_active_map that prevents
scheduler load balancer from migrating tasks to the cpu that is going
down.

It allows us to simplify domain management code and avoid unecessary
domain rebuilds during cpu hotplug event handling.

Please ignore the cpusets part for now. It needs some more work in order
to avoid crazy lock nesting. Although I did simplfy and unify domain
reinitialization logic. We now simply call partition_sched_domains() in
all the cases. This means that we're using exact same code paths as in
cpusets case and hence the test below cover cpusets too.
Cpuset changes to make rebuild_sched_domains() callable from various
contexts are in the separate patch (right next after this one).

This not only boots but also easily handles
	while true; do make clean; make -j 8; done
and
	while true; do on-off-cpu 1; done
at the same time.
(on-off-cpu 1 simple does echo 0/1 > /sys/.../cpu1/online thing).

Suprisingly the box (dual-core Core2) is quite usable. In fact I'm typing
this on right now in gnome-terminal and things are moving just fine.

Also this is running with most of the debug features enabled (lockdep,
mutex, etc) no BUG_ONs or lockdep complaints so far.

I believe I addressed all of the Dmitry's comments for original Linus'
version. I changed both fair and rt balancer to mask out non-active cpus.
And replaced cpu_is_offline() with !cpu_active() in the main scheduler
code where it made sense (to me).

Ingo Molnar 873a6ed628 Merge commit 'v2.6.26' into sched/devel 2008-07-14 12:19:19 +02:00
Dmitry Adamushko 3e84050c81 cpusets, hotplug, scheduler: fix scheduler domain breakage
Commit f18f982ab ("sched: CPU hotplug events must not destroy scheduler
domains created by the cpusets") introduced a hotplug-related problem as
described below:

Upon CPU_DOWN_PREPARE,

  update_sched_domains() -> detach_destroy_domains(&cpu_online_map)

does the following:

/*
 * Force a reinitialization of the sched domains hierarchy. The domains
 * and groups cannot be updated in place without racing with the balancing
 * code, so we temporarily attach all running cpus to the NULL domain
 * which will prevent rebalancing while the sched domains are recalculated.
 */

The sched-domains should be rebuilt when a CPU_DOWN ops. has been
completed, effectively either upon CPU_DEAD{_FROZEN} (upon success) or
CPU_DOWN_FAILED{_FROZEN} (upon failure -- restore the things to their
initial state). That's what update_sched_domains() also does but only
for !CPUSETS case.

With f18f982ab, sched-domains' reinitialization is delegated to
CPUSETS code:

cpuset_handle_cpuhp() -> common_cpu_mem_hotplug_unplug() ->
rebuild_sched_domains()

Being called for CPU_UP_PREPARE and if its callback is called after
update_sched_domains()), it just negates all the work done by
update_sched_domains() -- i.e. a soon-to-be-offline cpu is included in
the sched-domains and that makes it visible for the load-balancer
while the CPU_DOWN ops. is in progress.

__migrate_live_tasks() moves the tasks off a 'dead' cpu (it's already
"offline" when this function is called).

try_to_wake_up() is called for one of these tasks from another CPU ->
the load-balancer (wake_idle()) picks up a "dead" CPU and places the
task on it. Then e.g. BUG_ON(rq->nr_running) detects this a bit later
-> oops.

Max Krasnyansky f18f982abf sched: CPU hotplug events must not destroy scheduler domains created by the cpusets
First issue is not related to the cpusets. We're simply leaking doms_cur.
It's allocated in arch_init_sched_domains() which is called for every
hotplug event. So we just keep reallocation doms_cur without freeing it.
I introduced free_sched_domains() function that cleans things up.

Second issue is that sched domains created by the cpusets are
completely destroyed by the CPU hotplug events. For all CPU hotplug
events scheduler attaches all CPUs to the NULL domain and then puts
them all into the single domain thereby destroying domains created
by the cpusets (partition_sched_domains).
The solution is simple, when cpusets are enabled scheduler should not
create default domain and instead let cpusets do that. Which is
exactly what the patch does.

David Rientjes 9985b0bab3 sched: prevent bound kthreads from changing cpus_allowed
Kthreads that have called kthread_bind() are bound to specific cpus, so
other tasks should not be able to change their cpus_allowed from under
them.  Otherwise, it is possible to move kthreads, such as the migration
or software watchdog threads, so they are not allowed access to the cpu
they work on.

Lai Jiangshan 37340746a6 cpusets: fix bug when adding nonexistent cpu or mem
Adding a nonexistent cpu to a cpuset will be omitted quietly.  It should
return -EINVAL.

Example: (real_nr_cpus <= 4 < NR_CPUS or cpu#4 was just offline)

# cat cpus
0-1
# /bin/echo 4 > cpus
# /bin/echo $?
0
# cat cpus

#

The same occurs when add a nonexistent mem.
This patch will fix this bug.
And when *buf == "", the check is unneeded.

Max Krasnyansky 5c8e1ed1d2 sched: CPU hotplug events must not destroy scheduler domains created by the cpusets
First issue is not related to the cpusets. We're simply leaking doms_cur.
It's allocated in arch_init_sched_domains() which is called for every
hotplug event. So we just keep reallocation doms_cur without freeing it.
I introduced free_sched_domains() function that cleans things up.

Second issue is that sched domains created by the cpusets are
completely destroyed by the CPU hotplug events. For all CPU hotplug
events scheduler attaches all CPUs to the NULL domain and then puts
them all into the single domain thereby destroying domains created
by the cpusets (partition_sched_domains).
The solution is simple, when cpusets are enabled scheduler should not
create default domain and instead let cpusets do that. Which is
exactly what the patch does.

Paul Menage 5be7a4792a Fix cpuset sched_relax_domain_level control file
Due to a merge conflict, the sched_relax_domain_level control file was marked
as being handled by cpuset_read/write_u64, but the code to handle it was
actually in cpuset_common_file_read/write.

Since the value being written/read is in fact a signed integer, it should be
treated as such; this patch adds cpuset_read/write_s64 functions, and uses
them to handle the sched_relax_domain_level file.

With this patch, the sched_relax_domain_level can be read and written, and the
correct contents seen/updated.

Paul Menage addf2c739d Cpuset hardwall flag: switch cpusets to use the bulk cgroup_add_files() API
Currently the cpusets mem_exclusive flag is overloaded to mean both
"no-overlapping" and "no GFP_KERNEL allocations outside this cpuset".

These patches add a new mem_hardwall flag with just the allocation restriction
part of the mem_exclusive semantics, without breaking backwards-compatibility
for those who continue to use just mem_exclusive.  Additionally, the cgroup
control file registration for cpusets is cleaned up to reduce boilerplate.

This patch:

This change tidies up the cpusets control file definitions, and reduces the
amount of boilerplate required to add/change control files in the future.

This patch renames mpol_copy() to mpol_dup() because, well, that's what it
does.  Like, e.g., strdup() for strings, mpol_dup() takes a pointer to an
existing mempolicy, allocates a new one and copies the contents.

In a later patch, I want to use the name mpol_copy() to copy the contents from
one mempolicy to another like, e.g., strcpy() does for strings.

Mel Gorman 19770b3260 mm: filter based on a nodemask as well as a gfp_mask
The MPOL_BIND policy creates a zonelist that is used for allocations
controlled by that mempolicy.  As the per-node zonelist is already being
filtered based on a zone id, this patch adds a version of __alloc_pages() that
takes a nodemask for further filtering.  This eliminates the need for
MPOL_BIND to create a custom zonelist.

A positive benefit of this is that allocations using MPOL_BIND now use the
local node's distance-ordered zonelist instead of a custom node-id-ordered
zonelist.  I.e., pages will be allocated from the closest allowed node with
available memory.

Mel Gorman dd1a239f6f mm: have zonelist contains structs with both a zone pointer and zone_idx
Filtering zonelists requires very frequent use of zone_idx().  This is costly
as it involves a lookup of another structure and a substraction operation.  As
the zone_idx is often required, it should be quickly accessible.  The node idx
could also be stored here if it was found that accessing zone->node is
significant which may be the case on workloads where nodemasks are heavily
used.

This patch introduces a struct zoneref to store a zone pointer and a zone
index.  The zonelist then consists of an array of these struct zonerefs which
are looked up as necessary.  Helpers are given for accessing the zone index as
well as the node index.

Paul Jackson c8d9c90c7e hotplug cpu: move tasks in empty cpusets to parent various other fixes
Various minor formatting and comment tweaks to Cliff Wickman's
[PATCH_3_of_3]_cpusets__update_cpumask_revision.patch

I had had "iff", meaning "if and only if" in a comment.  However, except for
ancient mathematicians, the abbreviation "iff" was a tad too cryptic.  Cliff
changed it to "if", presumably figuring that the "iff" was a typo.  However,
it was the "only if" half of the conjunction that was most interesting.
Reword to emphasis the "only if" aspect.

The locking comment for remove_tasks_in_empty_cpuset() was wrong; it said
callback_mutex had to be held on entry.  The opposite is true.

Several mentions of attach_task() in comments needed to be
changed to cgroup_attach_task().

A comment about notify_on_release was no longer relevant,
as the line of code it had commented, namely:
	set_bit(CS_RELEASED_RESOURCE, &parent->flags);
is no longer present in that place in the cpuset.c code.

Similarly a comment about notify_on_release before the
scan_for_empty_cpusets() routine was no longer relevant.

Removed extra parentheses and unnecessary return statement.

Renamed attach_task() to cpuset_attach() in various comments.

Removed comment about not needing memory migration, as it seems the migration
is done anyway, via the cpuset_attach() callback from cgroup_attach_task().

Cliff Wickman 956db3ca06 hotplug cpu: move tasks in empty cpusets to parent
This patch corrects a situation that occurs when one disables all the cpus in
a cpuset.

Currently, the disabled (cpu-less) cpuset inherits the cpus of its parent,
which is incorrect because it may then overlap its cpu-exclusive sibling.

Tasks of an empty cpuset should be moved to the cpuset which is the parent of
their current cpuset.  Or if the parent cpuset has no cpus, to its parent,
etc.

And the empty cpuset should be released (if it is flagged notify_on_release).

Depends on the cgroup_scan_tasks() function (proposed by David Rientjes) to
iterate through all tasks in the cpu-less cpuset.  We are deliberately
avoiding a walk of the tasklist.
