2009-08-28sched: Fix division by zero - reallyPeter Zijlstra1-21/+29
When re-computing the shares for each task group's cpu representation we need the ratio of weight on each cpu vs the total weight of the sched domain. Since load-balancing is loosely (read not) synchronized, the weight of individual cpus can change between doing the sum and calculating the ratio. The previous patch dealt with only one of the race scenarios, this patch side steps them all by saving a snapshot of all the individual cpu weights, thereby always working on a consistent set.

2009-08-02sched: Fully integrate cpus_active_map and root-domain codeGregory Haskins1-1/+1
Reflect "active" cpus in the rq->rd->online field, instead of the online_map. The motivation is that things that use the root-domain code (such as cpupri) only care about cpus classified as "active" anyway. By synchronizing the root-domain state with the active map, we allow several optimizations. For instance, we can remove an extra cpumask_and from the scheduler hotpath by utilizing rq->rd->online (since it is now a cached version of cpu_active_map & rq->rd->span).

2009-08-02sched: Enhance the pre/post scheduling logicGregory Haskins1-32/+50
We currently have an explicit "needs_post" vtable method which returns a stack variable for whether we should later run post-schedule. This leads to an awkward exchange of the variable as it bubbles back up out of the context switch. Peter Zijlstra observed that this information could be stored in the run-queue itself instead of handled on the stack. Therefore, we revert to the method of having context_switch return void, and update an internal rq->post_schedule variable when we require further processing. In addition, we fix a race condition where we try to access current->sched_class without holding the rq->lock. This is technically racy, as the sched-class could change out from under us. Instead, we reference the per-rq post_schedule variable with the runqueue unlocked, but with preemption disabled to see if we need to reacquire the rq->lock. Finally, we clean the code up slightly by removing the #ifdef CONFIG_SMP conditionals from the schedule() call, and implement some inline helper functions instead. This patch passes checkpatch, and rt-migrate.

2009-08-02sched: Check for pushing rt tasks after all schedulingSteven Rostedt1-11/+27
The current method for pushing RT tasks after scheduling only happens after a context switch. But we found cases where a task is set up on a run queue to be pushed but the push never happens because the schedule chooses the same task. This bug was found with the help of Gregory Haskins and the use of ftrace (trace_printk). It tooks several days for both of us analyzing the code and the trace output to find this.

2009-08-02sched: Fix cgroup smp fairnessPeter Zijlstra1-8/+20
Commit ec4e0e2fe018992d980910db901637c814575914 ("fix inconsistency when redistribute per-cpu tg->cfs_rq shares") broke cgroup smp fairness. In order to avoid starvation of newly placed tasks, we never quite set the share of an empty cpu group-task to 0, but instead we set it as if there's a single NICE-0 task present. If however we actually set this in cfs_rq[cpu]->shares, that means the total shares for that group will be slightly inflated every time we balance, causing the observed unfairness. Fix this by setting cfs_rq[cpu]->shares to 0 but actually setting the effective weight of the related se to the inflated number.

2009-07-24sched: Fix return value of migration_init()Thomas Gleixner1-1/+1
migration_init() returns the return value of the hotplug notifier. In the success case this is NOTIFY_OK which is 1. initcall_debug evaluates that as an error code because init calls are expected to return 0 on success. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
2009-07-18sched: Pull up the might_sleep() check into cond_resched()Frederic Weisbecker1-7/+5
might_sleep() is called late-ish in cond_resched(), after the need_resched()/preempt enabled/system running tests are checked. It's better to check the sleeps while atomic earlier and not depend on some environment datas that reduce the chances to detect a problem. Also define cond_resched_*() helpers as macros, so that the FILE/LINE reported in the sleeping while atomic warning displays the real origin and not sched.h Changes in v2: - Call __might_sleep() directly instead of might_sleep() which may call cond_resched() - Turn cond_resched() into a macro so that the file:line couple reported refers to the caller of cond_resched() and not __cond_resched() itself. Changes in v3: - Also propagate this __might_sleep() pull up to cond_resched_lock() and cond_resched_softirq() Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> LKML-Reference: <1247725694-6082-6-git-send-email-fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2009-07-18sched: Add a preempt count base offset to __might_sleep()Frederic Weisbecker1-4/+11
Add a preempt count base offset to compare against the current preempt level count. It prepares to pull up the might_sleep check from cond_resched() to cond_resched_lock() and cond_resched_bh(). For these two helpers, we need to respectively ensure that once we'll unlock the given spinlock / reenable local softirqs, we will reach a sleepable state.

2009-07-18sched: Drop the need_resched() loop from cond_resched()Frederic Weisbecker1-5/+3
The schedule() function is a loop that reschedules the current task while the TIF_NEED_RESCHED flag is set: void schedule(void) { need_resched: /* schedule code */ if (need_resched()) goto need_resched; } And cond_resched() repeat this loop: do { add_preempt_count(PREEMPT_ACTIVE); schedule(); sub_preempt_count(PREEMPT_ACTIVE); } while(need_resched()); This loop is needless because schedule() already did the check and nothing can set TIF_NEED_RESCHED between schedule() exit and the loop check in need_resched(). Then remove this needless loop.

2009-07-18sched: fix load average accounting vs. cpu hotplugThomas Gleixner1-2/+2
The new load average code clears rq->calc_load_active on CPU_ONLINE. That's wrong as the new onlined CPU might have got a scheduler tick already and accounted the delta to the stale value of the time we offlined the CPU. Clear the value when we cleanup the dead CPU instead. Also move the update of the calc_load_update time for the newly online CPU to CPU_UP_PREPARE to avoid that the CPU plays catch up with the stale update time value.
