[RFC][PATCH 0/4] sched,numa: pinned task accounting

[Peter Zijlstra]

Hi,

Here's a first few patches that provide pinned task accounting; they are boot
tested only so far.

I don't think this is enough to address Artem's regression, but its a
foundation to add some more smarts. In particular we should make it harder
still to migrate well placed tasks away due to these pinned tasks.

Rostedt, Juri, please double check what I did to your resp. set_cpus_allowed
methods.

[RFC][PATCH 1/4] sched: Fix a race between __kthread_bind() and sched_setaffinity()

[Peter Zijlstra]

[-- Attachment #1: peterz-sched-kthread_bind-vs-sched_setaffinity.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 6503 bytes --]

Because sched_setscheduler() checks p->flags & PF_NO_SETAFFINITY
without locks, a caller might observe an old value and race with the
set_cpus_allowed_ptr() call from __kthread_bind() and effectively undo
it.

	__kthread_bind()
	  do_set_cpus_allowed()
						<SYSCALL>
						  sched_setaffinity()
						    if (p->flags & PF_NO_SETAFFINITIY)
						    set_cpus_allowed_ptr()
	  p->flags |= PF_NO_SETAFFINITY

Fix the issue by putting everything under the regular scheduler locks.

This also closes a hole in the serialization of
task_struct::{nr_,}cpus_allowed.

[RFC][PATCH 2/4] sched: Make sched_class::set_cpus_allowed() unconditional

[Peter Zijlstra]

[-- Attachment #1: peterz-sched-affinity.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 4346 bytes --]

Give every class a set_cpus_allowed() method, this enables some small
optimization in the rt,dl implementation by avoiding a double
cpumask_weight() call.

[RFC][PATCH 3/4] sched: Change sched_class::set_cpus_allowed calling context

[Peter Zijlstra]

[-- Attachment #1: peterz-sched-set_cpus_allowed-context.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 4135 bytes --]

Change the calling context of sched_class::set_cpus_allowed() such
that we can assume the task is inactive.

This allows us to easily make changes that affect accounting done by
enqueue/dequeue. This does in fact completely remove
set_cpus_allowed_rt and greatly reduces set_cpus_allowed_dl.

[RFC][PATCH 4/4] sched, numa: Ignore pinned tasks

[Peter Zijlstra]

[-- Attachment #1: peterz-sched-use-nr_pinned-numa.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 4590 bytes --]

Per cpu (kernel) threads can currently trick the load balancer in
thinking there's something to do and result in moving perfectly placed
tasks away.

By virtue of the new do_set_cpus_allowed() we can easily add nr_pinned
accounting. Which we'll use to change the fbq classification such that
we make it less likely to pick such tasks for migration.

Note that it is still possible we'll migrate these well placed tasks
away, further patches could reduce this still.

A few ideas here :)

- Identify whether the current task on a CPU is the one
  that would like to migrate, and treat the runqueue as
  "movable" instead of "remote" if none of the runnable
  but queued tasks want to migrate away.

- Teach can_migrate_task about the fbq types, and have
  it enforce NUMA placement when the type is "remote",
  and ignore NUMA placement when we know there are no
  good tasks to move.  This might require another
  simplification of migrate_improves/degrades_locality.

FWIW, there's a problem there with CFS bandwidth muck. When we throttle
groups we update cfs.h_nr_running properly, but we do not hierarchically
account the pinned, preferred and numa counts.

So that above subtraction can end up negative.

I've not yet decided what to do about this; ideally we'd do the
hierarchical accounting of the numa stats -- but that's a little bit
more expensive than I'd like.

A well. for monday that.

Hi,

the most useful thing I can do is to test your patches, which I did, and
there seem to be no difference: average server response time is still
1.4 seconds.

Shouldnt we reset p->numa_preferred_nid when we are setting the allowed
cpus in set_cpus_allowed_common()? 

Otherwise if an process is set a preferred node based on its numa faults
but then is pinned to a different cpu, then we can see this warning.:w!

We should never get preferred_nid set when nr_cpus_allowed == 1, see the
hunk that changes task_tick_numa.

So we set preferred = -1 on pinning, do not partake in numa balancing
while this is so, therefore it should still be so when we dequeue,
right?

It could be pinned after it has been running for a while,
with taskset -c <cpu> -p <pid>

lets say if a thread were to do a sched_setaffinity on itself ;
would it not call account_numa_dequeue before account_numa_enqueue?


Also setting preferred = -1 in set_cpus_allowed avoids us from setting
it at account_numa_enqueue. account_numa_enqueue() would probably be
called more times than set_cpus_allowed.

Yes, but it would call dequeue while nr_cpus_allowed was still the 'old'
value. And it will call enqueue when its the 'new' value.

So basically you want to do:

+check_push:
+       if (weight > 1 &&
+           !task_running(rq, p) &&
+           !test_tsk_need_resched(rq->curr) &&
+           !cpumask_subset(new_mask, &p->cpus_allowed)) {
+               /* Update new affinity and try to push. */
+               cpumask_copy(&p->cpus_allowed, new_mask);
+               p->nr_cpus_allowed = weight;
+               push_rt_tasks(rq);
+               return true;
+       }

in set_cpus_allowed_rt(), which would not work because of us calling
put_prev_task(), which does enqueue_pushable_task() and would allow
pick_next_pushable_task() to select the current task, which would then
BUG_ON().

Note however that you already test for !task_running(), which precludes
that entire argument, because if @p is not running, we did not call
put_prev_task() etc..

So I think the above would still work; albeit it needs a comment on why
etc..

Which is the rescue thread attaching itself to a pool that needs help,

Hmmm... the race condition didn't exist for workqueue in the first
place, right?  As long as the flag is set before the affinity is
configured, there's no race condition.  I think the code was better
before.  Can't we just revert workqueue.c part?

Thanks.

No, I think workqueues are susceptible just the same as everybody else.
By the time we call __kthread_bind() the task exists and is visible to
userspace.

        __kthread_bind()
          do_set_cpus_allowed()
                                                <SYSCALL>
                                                  sched_setaffinity()
                                                    if (p->flags & PF_NO_SETAFFINITIY) /* false-not-taken */
                                                    set_cpus_allowed_ptr()
          p->flags |= PF_NO_SETAFFINITY

Even if we were to strictly order those stores you could have (note
there is no matching barrier, as there is only the one load, so ordering
cannot help):

	__kthread_bind()
						<SYSCALL>
						  sched_setaffinity()
						    if (p->flags & PF_NO_SETAFFINITY) /* false-not-taken */
	  p->flags |= PF_NO_SETAFFINITY;
	  smp_wmb();
	  do_set_cpus_allowed();
						    set_cpus_allowed_ptr()

I agree that the new argument isn't pretty, but I cannot see how
workqueues would not be affected by this.

So, the problem there is that __kthread_bind() doesn't grab the same
lock that the syscall side grabs but workqueue used
set_cpus_allowed_ptr() which goes through the rq locking, so as long
as the check on syscall side is movied inside rq lock, it should be
fine.

Thanks.

Currently neither site uses any lock, and that is what the patch fixes
(it uses the per-task ->pi_lock instead of the rq->lock, but that is
immaterial).

What matters though is that you now must hold a scheduler lock while
setting PF_NO_SETAFFINITY. In order to avoid spreading that knowledge
around I've taught kthread_bind*() about this and made the workqueue
code use that API (rather than having the workqueue code take scheduler
locks).

Hmm.. a better solution. Have the worker thread creation call
kthread_bind_mask() before attach_to_pool() and have attach_to_pool()
keep using set_cpus_allowed_ptr(). Less ugly.

Subject: sched: Fix a race between __kthread_bind() and sched_setaffinity()
From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>
Date: Fri, 15 May 2015 17:43:34 +0200

Because sched_setscheduler() checks p->flags & PF_NO_SETAFFINITY
without locks, a caller might observe an old value and race with the
set_cpus_allowed_ptr() call from __kthread_bind() and effectively undo
it.

	__kthread_bind()
	  do_set_cpus_allowed()
						<SYSCALL>
						  sched_setaffinity()
						    if (p->flags & PF_NO_SETAFFINITIY)
						    set_cpus_allowed_ptr()
	  p->flags |= PF_NO_SETAFFINITY

Fix the issue by putting everything under the regular scheduler locks.

This also closes a hole in the serialization of
task_struct::{nr_,}cpus_allowed.

Yeap, the testing on the syscall side should definitely be moved
inside rq->lock.

So, as long as PF_NO_SETAFFINITY is set before the task sets its
affinity to its target holding the rq lock, it should still be safe.

Yeah, that works too.  About the same effect.

sched: Make sched_class::set_cpus_allowed() unconditional

Give every class a set_cpus_allowed() method, this enables some small
optimization in the RT,DL implementation by avoiding a double
cpumask_weight() call.

sched: Change the sched_class::set_cpus_allowed() calling context

Change the calling context of sched_class::set_cpus_allowed() such
that we can assume the task is inactive.

This allows us to easily make changes that affect accounting done by
enqueue/dequeue. This does in fact completely remove
set_cpus_allowed_rt() and greatly reduces set_cpus_allowed_dl().

Dhurr.. so oddly enough my actual hardware boots without issue.

But I can see how that could go wrong, does the below make your
(virtual) machine happy again?

I've no clue how this doesn't also explode on actual hardware, that code
is convoluted, read and weep.

Ingo, please stick somewhere appropriate :-)

Subject: sched: Avoid trying to dequeue/enqueue the idle thread
From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>
Date: Thu Aug 13 23:09:29 CEST 2015

Sasha reports that his virtual machine tries to schedule the idle
thread since commit 6c37067e2786 ("sched: Change the
sched_class::set_cpus_allowed() calling context").

His trace shows this happening from idle_thread_get()->init_idle(),
which is the _second_ init_idle() invocation on that task_struct, the
first being done through idle_init()->fork_idle(). (this code is
insane...)

Because we call init_idle() twice in a row, its ->sched_class ==
&idle_sched_class and ->on_rq = TASK_ON_RQ_QUEUED. This means
do_set_cpus_allowed() thinks we're queued and will call dequeue_task(),
which is implemented with BUG() for the idle class, seeing how
dequeueing the idle task is a daft thing.

Aside of the whole insanity of calling init_idle() _twice_, change the
code to call set_cpus_allowed_common() instead as this is 'obviously'
before the idle task gets ran etc..

Hey Peter,

Here's the splat I mentioned earlier. I'm not sure if it's caused by this commit
or not, it's just that git blame took me here.
