This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled nohz/full, sched/rt: Fix missed tick-reenabling bug in dequeue_task_rt() to the 4.19-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: nohz-full-sched-rt-fix-missed-tick-reenabling-bug-in.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.19 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 2bb215c226a7174ab10d7fc43d2add28a2ecd250 Author: Nicolas Saenz Julienne <nsaenzju@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Jun 28 11:22:59 2022 +0200 nohz/full, sched/rt: Fix missed tick-reenabling bug in dequeue_task_rt() [ Upstream commit 5c66d1b9b30f737fcef85a0b75bfe0590e16b62a ] dequeue_task_rt() only decrements 'rt_rq->rt_nr_running' after having called sched_update_tick_dependency() preventing it from re-enabling the tick on systems that no longer have pending SCHED_RT tasks but have multiple runnable SCHED_OTHER tasks: dequeue_task_rt() dequeue_rt_entity() dequeue_rt_stack() dequeue_top_rt_rq() sub_nr_running() // decrements rq->nr_running sched_update_tick_dependency() sched_can_stop_tick() // checks rq->rt.rt_nr_running, ... __dequeue_rt_entity() dec_rt_tasks() // decrements rq->rt.rt_nr_running ... Every other scheduler class performs the operation in the opposite order, and sched_update_tick_dependency() expects the values to be updated as such. So avoid the misbehaviour by inverting the order in which the above operations are performed in the RT scheduler.
