Subject: [PATCH v2] sched/fair: don't assign runtime for throttled cfs_rq
Date: Sat, 24 Aug 2019 17:15:58 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190824091558.86296-1-liangyan.peng@linux.alibaba.com> (raw)

do_sched_cfs_period_timer() will refill cfs_b runtime and call
distribute_cfs_runtime() to unthrottle cfs_rq, sometimes cfs_b->runtime
will allocate all quota to one cfs_rq incorrectly.
This will cause other cfs_rq can't get runtime and will be throttled.
We find that one throttled cfs_rq has non-negative
cfs_rq->runtime_remaining and cause an unexpetced cast from s64 to u64
in snippet: distribute_cfs_runtime() {
runtime = -cfs_rq->runtime_remaining + 1; }.
This cast will cause that runtime will be a large number and
cfs_b->runtime will be subtracted to be zero at last.
According to Ben Segall, the throttled cfs_rq can have
account_cfs_rq_runtime called on it because it is throttled before
idle_balance, and the idle_balance calls update_rq_clock to add time
that is accounted to the task.

This commit prevents cfs_rq to be assgined new runtime if it has been
throttled to avoid the above incorrect type cast.
