[PATCH] Revert "sched/deadline: Remove cpu_active_mask from cpudl_find()"

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

 



The original commit 9659e1ee removes checking the cpu_active_mask
while finding the best cpu to place a deadline task, citing the reason that
this mask rarely changes and removing the check will give performance
gains.
However, on hotplugging, the cpu dying path has a brief duration between
the CPUHP_TEARDOWN_CPU and CPUHP_AP_SCHED_STARTING hotplug states where
the DL task can be scheduled on this cpu because the corresponding cpu
bit in cpu->free_cpus has not been cleared yet. Without the
cpu_active_mask check we could end up putting a DL task on such cpus
leading to a BUG.
The cpu_active_mask will be updated promptly before either of these
states and will provide a more accurate check for the use case above.
