Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] sched/fair: Fix bandwidth timer clock drift condition

I noticed the group constantly got throttled even it consumed
low cpu usage, this caused some jitters on the response time
to some of our business containers enabling cpu quota.

It's very simple to reproduce:
mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/test
cd /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/test
echo 100000 > cpu.cfs_quota_us
echo $$ > tasks
then repeat:
cat cpu.stat |grep nr_throttled // nr_throttled will increase

After some analysis, we found that cfs_rq::runtime_remaining will
be cleared by expire_cfs_rq_runtime() due to two equal but stale
"cfs_{b|q}->runtime_expires" after period timer is re-armed.

The current condition to judge clock drift in expire_cfs_rq_runtime()
is wrong, the two runtime_expires are actually the same when clock
drift happens, so this condtion can never hit. The orginal design was
correctly done by commit a9cf55b28610 ("sched: Expire invalid runtime"),
but was changed to be the current one due to its locking issue.

This patch introduces another way, it adds a new field in both structures
cfs_rq and cfs_bandwidth to record the expiration update sequence, and
use them to figure out if clock drift happens(true if they equal).

Fixes: 51f2176d74ac ("sched/fair: Fix unlocked reads of some cfs_b->quota/period")

Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] sched/fair: Advance global expiration when period timer is restarted

When period gets restarted after some idle time, start_cfs_bandwidth()
doesn't update the expiration information, expire_cfs_rq_runtime() will
see cfs_rq->runtime_expires smaller than rq clock and go to the clock
drift logic, wasting needless cpu cycles on the scheduler hot path.

Update the global expiration in start_cfs_bandwidth() to avoid frequent
expire_cfs_rq_runtime() calls once a new period begins.

sched/fair: Fix bandwidth timer clock drift condition

I noticed that cgroup task groups constantly get throttled even
if they have low CPU usage, this causes some jitters on the response
time to some of our business containers when enabling CPU quotas.

It's very simple to reproduce:

mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/test
cd /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/test
echo 100000 > cpu.cfs_quota_us
echo $$ > tasks

then repeat:

cat cpu.stat | grep nr_throttled # nr_throttled will increase steadily

After some analysis, we found that cfs_rq::runtime_remaining will
be cleared by expire_cfs_rq_runtime() due to two equal but stale
"cfs_{b|q}->runtime_expires" after period timer is re-armed.

The current condition to judge clock drift in expire_cfs_rq_runtime()
is wrong, the two runtime_expires are actually the same when clock
drift happens, so this condtion can never hit. The orginal design was
correctly done by this commit:

a9cf55b28610 ("sched: Expire invalid runtime")

... but was changed to be the current implementation due to its locking bug.

This patch introduces another way, it adds a new field in both structures
cfs_rq and cfs_bandwidth to record the expiration update sequence, and
uses them to figure out if clock drift happens (true if they are equal).

sched/fair: Advance global expiration when period timer is restarted

When period gets restarted after some idle time, start_cfs_bandwidth()
doesn't update the expiration information, expire_cfs_rq_runtime() will
see cfs_rq->runtime_expires smaller than rq clock and go to the clock
drift logic, wasting needless CPU cycles on the scheduler hot path.

Update the global expiration in start_cfs_bandwidth() to avoid frequent
expire_cfs_rq_runtime() calls once a new period begins.
