Igor Raits and Bagas Sanjaya report a RQCF_ACT_SKIP leak warning. Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/a5dd536d-041a-2ce9-f4b7-64d8d85c86dc@xxxxxxxxx This warning may be triggered in the following situations: CPU0 CPU1 __schedule() *rq->clock_update_flags <<= 1;* unregister_fair_sched_group() pick_next_task_fair+0x4a/0x410 destroy_cfs_bandwidth() newidle_balance+0x115/0x3e0 for_each_possible_cpu(i) *i=0* rq_unpin_lock(this_rq, rf) __cfsb_csd_unthrottle() raw_spin_rq_unlock(this_rq) rq_lock(*CPU0_rq*, &rf) rq_clock_start_loop_update() rq->clock_update_flags & RQCF_ACT_SKIP <-- raw_spin_rq_lock(this_rq) The purpose of RQCF_ACT_SKIP is to skip the update rq clock, but the update is very early in __schedule(), but we clear RQCF_*_SKIP very late, causing it to span that gap above and triggering this warning. In __schedule() we can clear the RQCF_*_SKIP flag immediately after update_rq_clock() to avoid this RQCF_ACT_SKIP leak warning. And set rq->clock_update_flags to RQCF_UPDATED to avoid rq->clock_update_flags < RQCF_ACT_SKIP warning that may be triggered later.
