Subject: [PATCH 1/2] sched/deadline: Modify cpudl.free_cpus to reflect rd->span

Currently, cpudl.free_cpus contains all cpus during init(see cpudl_init()),
so when calling cpudl_find() we have to add rd->span cpumask(cpus_allowed is
undependable when performing clustered scheduling using the cpuset) to avoid
selecting the cpu outside current root domain, see find_later_rq().

This patch adds cpudl_set_freecpu() to initialize cpudl.free_cpus when doing
rq_attach_root(), so we can avoid the extra rd->span operation when calling
cpudl_find().

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] sched/deadline: Fix wrong cpudl_find() in check_preempt_equal_dl()

In check_preempt_equal_dl(), cpudl_find() is called with a NULL later_mask,
thus cpudl_find() here doesn't check cpudl.free_cpus at all.

This patch takles this issue by always passing a non-NULL cpumask to cpudl_find(),
and assigns later_mask in this function.

I did a quick review of this patch, and it looks fine to me. But the
above looks ugly. Please change it to something more readable like:

if (later_mask &&
cpumask_and(later_mask, cp->free_cpus, &p->cpus_allowed) &&
cpumask_and(later_mask, later_mask, cpu_active_mask)) {

OK, I need to make this a before/after, as patch format sucks in this
case.

before:

if (later_mask &&
cpumask_and(later_mask, cp->free_cpus, &p->cpus_allowed) &&
cpumask_and(later_mask, later_mask, cpu_active_mask)) {
best_cpu = cpumask_any(later_mask);
goto out;
} else if (cpumask_test_cpu(cpudl_maximum(cp), &p->cpus_allowed) &&
dl_time_before(dl_se->deadline, cp->elements[0].dl)) {
best_cpu = cpudl_maximum(cp);
if (later_mask)
cpumask_set_cpu(best_cpu, later_mask);
}

after:

cpumask_and(later_mask, cpu_active_mask, &p->cpus_allowed);
if (cpumask_and(later_mask, later_mask, cp->free_cpus)) {
best_cpu = cpumask_any(later_mask);
goto out;
} else if (cpumask_and(later_mask, cpumask_of(cpudl_maximum(cp)),
&p->cpus_allowed) && dl_time_before(dl_se->deadline,
cp->elements[0].dl)) {
best_cpu = cpudl_maximum(cp);
}

Again, the above else if is rather ugly. Note, if the first
cpumask_and() is zero, there's no reason to call cpumask_and() (which
could be expensive) the second time. Keep the two together with &&.

Also, I wouldn't convert the cpumask_test_cpu() to a cpumask_and(), as
I would think that would be more expensive to copy an entire mask
(think what happens when we have a thousand CPUs). Just doing a test,
and then if the test succeeds (remember, there's another test that
might fail after it), then just set the one bit.

Hi Steve,

Thanks for pointing me out, it does make sense. I'll fix it and send
out another version.

But one more thing:
I made this change just want to avoid setting later_mask
conditionally, since the call site of check_preempt_equal_dl() doesn't
need the result of later_mask.

So, I wonder if it's reasonable to deal with this function further:
1) to introduce the 4th parameter to cpudl_find() like "int
set_flag"(in the hopes that it can gain some performance?), then the
code will be like this:
int cpudl_find(struct cpudl *cp, struct task_struct *p,
struct cpumask *later_mask, int set_flag)
{
int best_cpu = -1;
const struct sched_dl_entity *dl_se = &p->dl;

cpumask_and(later_mask, cpu_active_mask, &p->cpus_allowed);
if (cpumask_and(later_mask, later_mask, cp->free_cpus)) {
best_cpu = cpumask_any(later_mask);
goto out;
} else if (cpumask_test_cpu(cpudl_maximum(cp), &p->cpus_allowed) &&
dl_time_before(dl_se->deadline, cp->elements[0].dl)) {
best_cpu = cpudl_maximum(cp);
if (set_flag)
cpumask_set_cpu(best_cpu, later_mask); // does this
have some performance gain?
}

out:
WARN_ON(best_cpu != -1 && !cpu_present(best_cpu));

return best_cpu;
}

2) also, may put the best_cpu selecting back into find_later_rq()
where we can select additionally according to the sd topology,
obviously the cpumask_any() in cpudl_find() isn't the best one. Then
the code will be like this (change its return type to bool):

int cpudl_find(struct cpudl *cp, struct task_struct *p,
struct cpumask *later_mask, int set_flag)
{
const struct sched_dl_entity *dl_se = &p->dl;

cpumask_and(later_mask, cpu_active_mask, &p->cpus_allowed);
if (cpumask_and(later_mask, later_mask, cp->free_cpus)) {
return 1;
} else if (cpumask_test_cpu(cpudl_maximum(cp), &p->cpus_allowed) &&
dl_time_before(dl_se->deadline,
cp->elements[0].dl)) {
if (set_flag)
cpumask_set_cpu(cpudl_maximum(cp), later_mask);

return 1;
}

return 0;
}

Are these two changes acceptable? Thanks!
