Excellent, I was pretty darn sure it would. When I (well, more likely Peter;) get all the necessary barriers in place, all should be well for 32 release scheduler wise now. With the minimal test diff against virgin mainline below, my enumeration woes are gone, and I'm within 2% of 31 on extreme context switch pinned tasks, and within .7%, comparing locked vs unlocked runqueue selection. (now to wander over to cpumask.[ch] before Peter wakes up and see if I can close the holes without killing performance;) diff --git a/kernel/sched.c b/kernel/sched.c index 28dd4f4..837ab30 100644 --- a/kernel/sched.c +++ b/kernel/sched.c @@ -590,6 +590,8 @@ struct rq { u64 rt_avg; u64 age_stamp; + u64 idle_stamp; + u64 avg_idle; #endif /* calc_load related fields */ @@ -1009,6 +1011,24 @@ static struct rq *this_rq_lock(void) return rq; } +/* + * cpu_rq_lock - lock the runqueue a given cpu and disable interrupts. + */ +static struct rq *cpu_rq_lock(int cpu, unsigned long *flags) + __acquires(rq->lock) +{ + struct rq *rq = cpu_rq(cpu); + + spin_lock_irqsave(&rq->lock, *flags); + return rq; +} + +static inline void cpu_rq_unlock(struct rq *rq, unsigned long *flags) + __releases(rq->lock) +{ + spin_unlock_irqrestore(&rq->lock, *flags); +} + #ifdef CONFIG_SCHED_HRTICK /* * Use HR-timers to deliver accurate preemption points. @@ -2372,16 +2392,19 @@ static int try_to_wake_up(struct task_struct *p, unsigned int state, if (task_contributes_to_load(p)) rq->nr_uninterruptible--; p->state = TASK_WAKING; + preempt_disable(); task_rq_unlock(rq, &flags); cpu = p->sched_class->select_task_rq(p, SD_BALANCE_WAKE, wake_flags); - if (cpu != orig_cpu) - set_task_cpu(p, cpu); - rq = task_rq_lock(p, &flags); - if (rq != orig_rq) + if (cpu != orig_cpu) { + task_rq_unlock(rq, &flags); + rq = cpu_rq_lock(cpu, &flags); update_rq_clock(rq); + set_task_cpu(p, cpu); + } + preempt_enable_no_resched(); WARN_ON(p->state != TASK_WAKING); cpu = task_cpu(p); @@ -2439,6 +2462,17 @@ out_running: #ifdef CONFIG_SMP if (p->sched_class->task_wake_up) p->sched_class->task_wake_up(rq, p); + + if (unlikely(rq->idle_stamp)) { + u64 delta = rq->clock - rq->idle_stamp; + u64 max = 2*sysctl_sched_migration_cost; + + if (delta > max) + rq->avg_idle = max; + else + update_avg(&rq->avg_idle, delta); + rq->idle_stamp = 0; + } #endif out: task_rq_unlock(rq, &flags); @@ -4125,7 +4159,9 @@ static int load_balance(int this_cpu, struct rq *this_rq, unsigned long flags; struct cpumask *cpus = __get_cpu_var(load_balance_tmpmask); + smp_read_barrier_depends(); cpumask_setall(cpus); + cpumask_and(cpus, cpus, cpu_online_mask); /* * When power savings policy is enabled for the parent domain, idle @@ -4288,7 +4324,9 @@ load_balance_newidle(int this_cpu, struct rq *this_rq, struct sched_domain *sd) int all_pinned = 0; struct cpumask *cpus = __get_cpu_var(load_balance_tmpmask); + smp_read_barrier_depends(); cpumask_setall(cpus); + cpumask_and(cpus, cpus, cpu_online_mask); /* * When power savings policy is enabled for the parent domain, idle @@ -4428,6 +4466,11 @@ static void idle_balance(int this_cpu, struct rq *this_rq) int pulled_task = 0; unsigned long next_balance = jiffies + HZ; + this_rq->idle_stamp = this_rq->clock; + + if (this_rq->avg_idle < sysctl_sched_migration_cost) + return; + for_each_domain(this_cpu, sd) { unsigned long interval; @@ -4442,8 +4485,10 @@ static void idle_balance(int this_cpu, struct rq *this_rq) interval = msecs_to_jiffies(sd->balance_interval); if (time_after(next_balance, sd->last_balance + interval)) next_balance = sd->last_balance + interval; - if (pulled_task) + if (pulled_task) { + this_rq->idle_stamp = 0; break; + } } if (pulled_task || time_after(jiffies, this_rq->next_balance)) { /* @@ -7054,6 +7099,7 @@ int set_cpus_allowed_ptr(struct task_struct *p, const struct cpumask *new_mask) int ret = 0; rq = task_rq_lock(p, &flags); + smp_read_barrier_depends(); if (!cpumask_intersects(new_mask, cpu_online_mask)) { ret = -EINVAL; goto out; @@ -7065,11 +7111,13 @@ int set_cpus_allowed_ptr(struct task_struct *p, const struct cpumask *new_mask) goto out; } - if (p->sched_class->set_cpus_allowed) + if (p->sched_class->set_cpus_allowed) { p->sched_class->set_cpus_allowed(p, new_mask); - else { + smp_wmb(); + } else { cpumask_copy(&p->cpus_allowed, new_mask); p->rt.nr_cpus_allowed = cpumask_weight(new_mask); + smp_wmb(); } /* Can the task run on the task's current CPU?
