[PATCH V3 10/10] sched/deadline: Prevent CPU hotplug operation if DL task on CPU

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When a DL task is assigned a CPU the "utilisation" (this_bw) and the
"active utilisation" (running_bw) fields of rq->dl are incremented
accordingly.  If the CPU is hotplugged out the DL task is transferred
to another CPU but the task's contribution to this_bw and running_bw
isn't substracted from the outgoing CPU's rq nor added to the newly
appointed CPU.

In this example (where a kernel has been instrumented to output the
relevant information) we have a 4 CPU system with one 6:10 DL task that
has been assigned to CPU 2:

	root@dragon:/home/linaro/# cat /proc/rq_debug

	dl_rq[0]:
	  .online			: yes
	  .dl_nr_running		: 0
	  .running_bw			: 0
	  .this_bw			: 0
	  .rd->span			: 0-3
	  .dl_nr_migratory		: 0
	  .rd->dl_bw->bw		: 3984588
	  .rd->dl_bw->total_bw		: 629145

	dl_rq[1]:
	  .online			: yes
	  .dl_nr_running		: 0
	  .running_bw			: 0
	  .this_bw			: 0
	  .rd->span:			: 0-3
	  .dl_nr_migratory		: 0
	  .rd->dl_bw->bw		: 3984588	<-- RD capacity for 4 CPUs
	  .rd->dl_bw->total_bw		: 629145

	dl_rq[2]:
	  .online			: yes
	  .dl_nr_running		: 1		<-- One task running
	  .running_bw			: 629145	<-- Normal behavior
	  .this_bw			: 629145	<-- Normal behavior
	  .rd->span			: 0-3
	  .dl_nr_migratory		: 1
	  .rd->dl_bw->bw		: 3984588
	  .rd->dl_bw->total_bw		: 629145

	dl_rq[3]:
	  .online			: yes
	  .dl_nr_running		: 0
	  .running_bw			: 0
	  .this_bw			: 0
	  .rd->span			: 0-3
	  .dl_nr_migratory		: 0
	  .rd->dl_bw->bw		: 3984588
	  .rd->dl_bw->total_bw		: 629145

At this point we hotplug out CPU2 and list the status again:

root@dragon:/home/linaro/# echo  0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu2/online
root@dragon:/home/linaro/# cat /proc/rq_debug

	dl_rq[0]:
	  .online			: yes
	  .dl_nr_running		: 1		<-- DL task was moved here
	  .running_bw			: 0		<-- Contribution not added
	  .this_bw			: 0		<-- Contribution not added
	  .rd->span			: 0-1,3
	  .dl_nr_migratory		: 1
	  .rd->dl_bw->bw		: 2988441	<-- RD capacity updated
	  .rd->dl_bw->total_bw		: 629145

	dl_rq[1]:
	  .online			: yes
	  .dl_nr_running		: 0
	  .running_bw			: 0
	  .this_bw			: 0
	  .rd->span			: 0-1,3
	  .dl_nr_migratory		: 0
	  .rd->dl_bw->bw		: 2988441
	  .rd->dl_bw->total_bw		: 629145

	dl_rq[2]:
	  .online			: no		<-- runqueue no longer online
	  .dl_nr_running		: 0		<-- DL task was moved
	  .running_bw			: 629145	<-- Contribution not substracted
	  .this_bw			: 629145	<-- Contribution not substracted
	  .rd->span			: 2
	  .dl_nr_migratory		: 0
	  .rd->dl_bw->bw		: 996147
	  .rd->dl_bw->total_bw		: 0

	dl_rq[3]:
	  .online			: yes
	  .dl_nr_running		: 0
	  .running_bw			: 0
	  .this_bw			: 0
	  .rd->span			: 0-1,3
	  .dl_nr_migratory		: 0
	  .rd->dl_bw->bw		: 2988441
	  .rd->dl_bw->total_bw: 629145

Upon rebooting the system a splat is also produced:

As a stop-gap measure before the real solution is available this patch
prevents users from carrying out a CPU hotplug operation if a DL task is
running (or suspended) on said CPU.
