sched: Optimize finish_lock_switch() · ae792702

Peter Zijlstra authored Dec 10, 2020

The kernel test robot measured a -1.6% performance regression on
will-it-scale/sched_yield due to commit:

  2558aacf ("sched/hotplug: Ensure only per-cpu kthreads run during hotplug")

Even though we were careful to replace a single load with another
single load from the same cacheline.

Restore finish_lock_switch() to the exact state before the offending
patch and solve the problem differently.

Fixes: 2558aacf

sched/fair: Trivial correction of the newidle_balance() comment · 5b78f2dc

Barry Song authored Dec 03, 2020



idle_balance() has been renamed to newidle_balance(). To differentiate
with nohz_idle_balance, it seems refining the comment will be helpful
for the readers of the code.

sched/fair: Clear SMT siblings after determining the core is not idle · 13d5a5e9

Mel Gorman authored Nov 30, 2020

The clearing of SMT siblings from the SIS mask before checking for an idle
core is a small but unnecessary cost. Defer the clearing of the siblings
until the scan moves to the next potential target. The cost of this was
not measured as it is borderline noise but it should be self-evident.

sched: Fix kernel-doc markup · 59a74b15

Mauro Carvalho Chehab authored Dec 01, 2020



Kernel-doc requires that a kernel-doc markup to be immediately
below the function prototype, as otherwise it will rename it.
So, move sys_sched_yield() markup to the right place.

Also fix the cpu_util() markup: Kernel-doc markups
should use this format:

x86: Print ratio freq_max/freq_base used in frequency invariance calculations · 3149cd55

Giovanni Gherdovich authored Nov 12, 2020



The value freq_max/freq_base is a fundamental component of frequency
invariance calculations. It may come from a variety of sources such as MSRs
or ACPI data, tracking it down when troubleshooting a system could be
non-trivial. It is worth saving it in the kernel logs.

x86, sched: Use midpoint of max_boost and max_P for frequency invariance on AMD EPYC · 976df7e5

Giovanni Gherdovich authored Nov 12, 2020



Frequency invariant accounting calculations need the ratio
freq_curr/freq_max, but freq_max is unknown as it depends on dynamic power
allocation between cores: AMD EPYC CPUs implement "Core Performance Boost".
Three candidates are considered to estimate this value:

- maximum non-boost frequency
- maximum boost frequency
- the mid point between the above two

Experimental data on an AMD EPYC Zen2 machine slightly favors the third
option, which is applied with this patch.

The analysis uses the ondemand cpufreq governor as baseline, and compares
it with schedutil in a number of configurations. Using the freq_max value
described above offers a moderate advantage in performance and efficiency:

sugov-max (freq_max=max_boost) performs the worst on tbench: less
throughput and reduced efficiency than the other invariant-schedutil
options (see "Data Overview" below). Consider that tbench is generally a
problematic case as no schedutil version currently is better than ondemand.

sugov-P0 (freq_max=max_P) is the worst on dbench, while the other sugov's
can surpass ondemand with less filesystem latency and slightly increased
efficiency.

x86, sched: Calculate frequency invariance for AMD systems · 41ea6672

Nathan Fontenot authored Nov 12, 2020



This is the first pass in creating the ability to calculate the
frequency invariance on AMD systems. This approach uses the CPPC
highest performance and nominal performance values that range from
0 - 255 instead of a high and base frquency. This is because we do
not have the ability on AMD to get a highest frequency value.

On AMD systems the highest performance and nominal performance
vaues do correspond to the highest and base frequencies for the system
so using them should produce an appropriate ratio but some tweaking
is likely necessary.

Due to CPPC being initialized later in boot than when the frequency
invariant calculation is currently made, I had to create a callback
from the CPPC init code to do the calculation after we have CPPC
data.

Special thanks to "kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com>" for reporting that
compilation of drivers/acpi/cppc_acpi.c is conditional to
CONFIG_ACPI_CPPC_LIB, not just CONFIG_ACPI.

mm: memcg: relayout structure mem_cgroup to avoid cache interference · 4df91062

Feng Tang authored Nov 25, 2020

0day reported one -22.7% regression for will-it-scale page_fault2
case [1] on a 4 sockets 144 CPU platform, and bisected to it to be
caused by Waiman's optimization (commit bd0b230f) of saving one
'struct page_counter' space for 'struct mem_cgroup'.

Initially we thought it was due to the cache alignment change introduced
by the patch, but further debug shows that it is due to some hot data
members ('vmstats_local', 'vmstats_percpu', 'vmstats') sit in 2 adjacent
cacheline (2N and 2N+1 cacheline), and when adjacent cache line prefetch
is enabled, it triggers an "extended level" of cache false sharing for
2 adjacent cache lines.

So exchange the 2 member blocks, while keeping mostly the original
cache alignment, which can restore and even enhance the performance,
and save 64 bytes of space for 'struct mem_cgroup' (from 2880 to 2816,
with 0day's default RHEL-8.3 kernel config)

mm: fix VM_BUG_ON(PageTail) and BUG_ON(PageWriteback) · 073861ed

Hugh Dickins authored Nov 24, 2020

Twice now, when exercising ext4 looped on shmem huge pages, I have crashed
on the PF_ONLY_HEAD check inside PageWaiters(): ext4_finish_bio() calling
end_page_writeback() calling wake_up_page() on tail of a shmem huge page,
no longer an ext4 page at all.

The problem is that PageWriteback is not accompanied by a page reference
(as the NOTE at the end of test_clear_page_writeback() acknowledges): as
soon as TestClearPageWriteback has been done, that page could be removed
from page cache, freed, and reused for something else by the time that
wake_up_page() is reached.

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20200827122019.GC14765@casper.infradead.org/
Matthew Wilcox suggested avoiding or weakening the PageWaiters() tail
check; but I'm paranoid about even looking at an unreferenced struct page,
lest its memory might itself have already been reused or hotremoved (and
wake_up_page_bit() may modify that memory with its ClearPageWaiters()).

Then on crashing a second time, realized there's a stronger reason against
that approach.  If my testing just occasionally crashes on that check,
when the page is reused for part of a compound page, wouldn't it be much
more common for the page to get reused as an order-0 page before reaching
wake_up_page()?  And on rare occasions, might that reused page already be
marked PageWriteback by its new user, and already be waited upon?  What
would that look like?

It would look like BUG_ON(PageWriteback) after wait_on_page_writeback()
in write_cache_pages() (though I have never seen that crash myself).

Matthew Wilcox explaining this to himself:
 "page is allocated, added to page cache, dirtied, writeback starts,

  --- thread A ---
  filesystem calls end_page_writeback()
        test_clear_page_writeback()
  --- context switch to thread B ---
  truncate_inode_pages_range() finds the page, it doesn't have writeback set,
  we delete it from the page cache.  Page gets reallocated, dirtied, writeback
  starts again.  Then we call write_cache_pages(), see
  PageWriteback() set, call wait_on_page_writeback()
  --- context switch back to thread A ---
  wake_up_page(page, PG_writeback);
  ... thread B is woken, but because the wakeup was for the old use of
  the page, PageWriteback is still set.

  Devious"

And prior to 2a9127fc

 ("mm: rewrite wait_on_page_bit_common() logic")
this would have been much less likely: before that, wake_page_function()'s
non-exclusive case would stop walking and not wake if it found Writeback
already set again; whereas now the non-exclusive case proceeds to wake.

I have not thought of a fix that does not add a little overhead: the
simplest fix is for end_page_writeback() to get_page() before calling
test_clear_page_writeback(), then put_page() after wake_up_page().

Was there a chance of missed wakeups before, since a page freed before
reaching wake_up_page() would have PageWaiters cleared?  I think not,
because each waiter does hold a reference on the page.  This bug comes
when the old use of the page, the one we do TestClearPageWriteback on,
had *no* waiters, so no additional page reference beyond the page cache
(and whoever racily freed it).  The reuse of the page has a waiter
holding a reference, and its own PageWriteback set; but the belated
wake_up_page() has woken the reuse to hit that BUG_ON(PageWriteback).

sched: Limit the amount of NUMA imbalance that can exist at fork time · 23e6082a

Mel Gorman authored Nov 20, 2020

At fork time currently, a local node can be allowed to fill completely
and allow the periodic load balancer to fix the problem. This can be
problematic in cases where a task creates lots of threads that idle until
woken as part of a worker poll causing a memory bandwidth problem.

However, a "real" workload suffers badly from this behaviour. The workload
in question is mostly NUMA aware but spawns large numbers of threads
that act as a worker pool that can be called from anywhere. These need
to spread early to get reasonable behaviour.

This patch limits how much a local node can fill before spilling over
to another node and it will not be a universal win. Specifically,
very short-lived workloads that fit within a NUMA node would prefer
the memory bandwidth.

As I cannot describe the "real" workload, the best proxy measure I found
for illustration was a page fault microbenchmark. It's not representative
of the workload but demonstrates the hazard of the current behaviour.

Amean elapsed-79 2.00 ( 0.00%) 1.90 * 4.95%*
Amean elapsed-80 2.00 ( 0.00%) 1.90 * 4.70%*

This is showing the time to fault regions belonging to threads. The target
machine has 80 logical CPUs and two nodes. Note the ~30% gain when the
machine is approximately the point where one node becomes fully utilised.
The slower results are borderline noise.

Kernel building shows similar benefits around the same balance point.
Generally performance was either neutral or better in the tests conducted.
The main consideration with this patch is the point where fork stops
spreading a task so some workloads may benefit from different balance
points but it would be a risky tuning parameter.

sched/numa: Allow a floating imbalance between NUMA nodes · 7d2b5dd0

Mel Gorman authored Nov 20, 2020

Currently, an imbalance is only allowed when a destination node
is almost completely idle. This solved one basic class of problems
and was the cautious approach.

This patch revisits the possibility that NUMA nodes can be imbalanced
until 25% of the CPUs are occupied. The reasoning behind 25% is somewhat
superficial -- it's half the cores when HT is enabled. At higher
utilisations, balancing should continue as normal and keep things even
until scheduler domains are fully busy or over utilised.

Note that this is not expected to be a universal win. Any benchmark
that prefers spreading as wide as possible with limited communication
will favour the old behaviour as there is more memory bandwidth.
Workloads that communicate heavily in pairs such as netperf or tbench
benefit. For the tests I ran, the vast majority of workloads saw
a benefit so it seems to be a worthwhile trade-off.

sched: Avoid unnecessary calculation of load imbalance at clone time · 5c339005

Mel Gorman authored Nov 20, 2020



In find_idlest_group(), the load imbalance is only relevant when the group
is either overloaded or fully busy but it is calculated unconditionally.
This patch moves the imbalance calculation to the context it is required.
Technically, it is a micro-optimisation but really the benefit is avoiding
confusing one type of imbalance with another depending on the group_type
in the next patch.

Thomas Gleixner authored Nov 18, 2020

Now that the scheduler can deal with migrate disable properly, there is no
real compelling reason to make it only available for RT.

There are quite some code pathes which needlessly disable preemption in
order to prevent migration and some constructs like kmap_atomic() enforce
it implicitly.

Making it available independent of RT allows to provide a preemptible
variant of kmap_atomic() and makes the code more consistent in general.

s390: fix fpu restore in entry.S · 1179f170

Sven Schnelle authored Nov 20, 2020

We need to disable interrupts in load_fpu_regs(). Otherwise an
interrupt might come in after the registers are loaded, but before
CIF_FPU is cleared in load_fpu_regs(). When the interrupt returns,
CIF_FPU will be cleared and the registers will never be restored.

The entry.S code usually saves the interrupt state in __SF_EMPTY on the
stack when disabling/restoring interrupts. sie64a however saves the pointer
to the sie control block in __SF_SIE_CONTROL, which references the same
location.  This is non-obvious to the reader. To avoid thrashing the sie
control block pointer in load_fpu_regs(), move the __SIE_* offsets eight
bytes after __SF_EMPTY on the stack.

cpufreq: scmi: Fix build for !CONFIG_COMMON_CLK · f943849f

Sudeep Holla authored Nov 20, 2020

Commit 8410e7f3 ("cpufreq: scmi: Fix OPP addition failure with a
dummy clock provider") registers a dummy clock provider using
devm_of_clk_add_hw_provider. These *_hw_provider functions are defined
only when CONFIG_COMMON_CLK=y. One possible fix is to add the Kconfig
dependency, but since we plan to move away from the clock dependency
for scmi cpufreq, it is preferrable to avoid that.

Let us just conditionally compile out the offending call to
devm_of_clk_add_hw_provider. It also uses the variable 'dev' outside
of the #ifdef block to avoid build warning.

afs: Fix speculative status fetch going out of order wrt to modifications · a9e5c87c

David Howells authored Nov 22, 2020

When doing a lookup in a directory, the afs filesystem uses a bulk
status fetch to speculatively retrieve the statuses of up to 48 other
vnodes found in the same directory and it will then either update extant
inodes or create new ones - effectively doing 'lookup ahead'.

To avoid the possibility of deadlocking itself, however, the filesystem
doesn't lock all of those inodes; rather just the directory inode is
locked (by the VFS).

When the operation completes, afs_inode_init_from_status() or
afs_apply_status() is called, depending on whether the inode already
exists, to commit the new status.

A case exists, however, where the speculative status fetch operation may
straddle a modification operation on one of those vnodes.  What can then
happen is that the speculative bulk status RPC retrieves the old status,
and whilst that is happening, the modification happens - which returns
an updated status, then the modification status is committed, then we
attempt to commit the speculative status.

This results in something like the following being seen in dmesg:

	kAFS: vnode modified {100058:861} 8->9 YFS.InlineBulkStatus

showing that for vnode 861 on volume 100058, we saw YFS.InlineBulkStatus
say that the vnode had data version 8 when we'd already recorded version
9 due to a local modification.  This was causing the cache to be
invalidated for that vnode when it shouldn't have been.  If it happens
on a data file, this might lead to local changes being lost.

Fix this by ignoring speculative status updates if the data version
doesn't match the expected value.

Note that it is possible to get a DV regression if a volume gets
restored from a backup - but we should get a callback break in such a
case that should trigger a recheck anyway.  It might be worth checking
the volume creation time in the volsync info and, if a change is
observed in that (as would happen on a restore), invalidate all caches
associated with the volume.
