[PATCH] powerpc: VPHN topology change updates all siblings

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

 



When an associativity level change is found for one thread, the
siblings threads need to be updated as well.  This is done today
for PRRN in stage_topology_update() but is missing for VPHN in
update_cpu_associativity_changes_mask().

All threads should be updated to move to the new node.  Without this
patch, a single thread may be flagged for a topology change, leaving it
in a different node from its siblings, which is incorrect.  This causes
problems for the scheduler where overlapping scheduler groups are created
and a loop is formed in those groups.

Looking to get this fix in 3.11.
This is requested for the 3.10 stable tree as well, it fixes a
bug that presents as a scheduler issue when VPHN is active.
VPHN was enabled in the v3.9 window in commit b7abef0.
