sched/fair: Prevent cfs_rq from being unthrottled with zero runtime_remaining
When a cfs_rq is to be throttled, its limbo list should be empty and
that's why there is a warn in tg_throttle_down() for non empty
cfs_rq->throttled_limbo_list.
When running a test with the following hierarchy:
root
/ \
A* ...
/ | \ ...
B
/ \
C*
where both A and C have quota settings, that warn on non empty limbo list
is triggered for a cfs_rq of C, let's call it cfs_rq_c(and ignore the cpu
part of the cfs_rq for the sake of simpler representation).
Debug showed it happened like this:
Task group C is created and quota is set, so in tg_set_cfs_bandwidth(),
cfs_rq_c is initialized with runtime_enabled set, runtime_remaining
equals to 0 and *unthrottled*. Before any tasks are enqueued to cfs_rq_c,
*multiple* throttled tasks can migrate to cfs_rq_c (e.g., due to task
group changes). When enqueue_task_fair(cfs_rq_c, throttled_task) is
called and cfs_rq_c is in a throttled hierarchy (e.g., A is throttled),
these throttled tasks are directly placed into cfs_rq_c's limbo list by
enqueue_throttled_task().
Later, when A is unthrottled, tg_unthrottle_up(cfs_rq_c) enqueues these
tasks. The first enqueue triggers check_enqueue_throttle(), and with zero
runtime_remaining, cfs_rq_c can be throttled in throttle_cfs_rq() if it
can't get more runtime and enters tg_throttle_down(), where the warning
is hit due to remaining tasks in the limbo list.
I think it's a chaos to trigger throttle on unthrottle path, the status
of a being unthrottled cfs_rq can be in a mixed state in the end, so fix
this by granting 1ns to cfs_rq in tg_set_cfs_bandwidth(). This ensures
cfs_rq_c has a positive runtime_remaining when initialized as unthrottled
and cannot enter tg_unthrottle_up() with zero runtime_remaining.
Also, update outdated comments in tg_throttle_down() since
unthrottle_cfs_rq() is no longer called with zero runtime_remaining.
While at it, remove a redundant assignment to se in tg_throttle_down().

sched/fair: Fix pelt lost idle time detection
The check for some lost idle pelt time should be always done when
pick_next_task_fair() fails to pick a task and not only when we call it
from the fair fast-path.
The case happens when the last running task on rq is a RT or DL task. When
the latter goes to sleep and the /Sum of util_sum of the rq is at the max
value, we don't account the lost of idle time whereas we should.

sched/fair: Do not balance task to a throttled cfs_rq
When doing load balance and the target cfs_rq is in throttled hierarchy, whether to allow balancing there is a question. The good side to allow balancing is: if the target CPU is idle or less loaded and the being balanced task is holding some kernel resources, then it seems a good idea to balance the task there and let the task get the CPU earlier and release kernel resources sooner. The bad part is, if the task is not holding any kernel resources, then the balance seems not that useful. While theoretically it's debatable, a performance test[0] which involves 200 cgroups and each cgroup runs hackbench(20 sender, 20 receiver) in pipe mode showed a performance degradation on AMD Genoa when allowing load balance to throttled cfs_rq. Analysis[1] showed hackbench doesn't like task migration across LLC boundary. For this reason, add a check in can_migrate_task() to forbid balancing to a cfs_rq that is in throttled hierarchy. This reduced task migration a lot and performance restored.

sched/fair: Do not special case tasks in throttled hierarchy
With the introduction of task based throttle model, task in a throttled hierarchy is allowed to continue to run till it gets throttled on its ret2user path. For this reason, remove those throttled_hierarchy() checks in the following functions so that those tasks can get their turn as normal tasks: dequeue_entities(), check_preempt_wakeup_fair() and yield_to_task_fair(). The benefit of doing it this way is: if those tasks gets the chance to run earlier and if they hold any kernel resources, they can release those resources earlier. The downside is, if they don't hold any kernel resouces, all they can do is to throttle themselves on their way back to user space so the favor to let them run seems not that useful and for check_preempt_wakeup_fair(), that favor may be bad for curr. K Prateek Nayak pointed out prio_changed_fair() can send a throttled task to check_preempt_wakeup_fair(), further tests showed the affinity change path from move_queued_task() can also send a throttled task to check_preempt_wakeup_fair(), that's why the check of task_is_throttled() in that function.

sched/fair: update_cfs_group() for throttled cfs_rqs
With task based throttle model, tasks in a throttled hierarchy are allowed to continue to run if they are running in kernel mode. For this reason, PELT clock is not stopped for these cfs_rqs in throttled hierarchy when they still have tasks running or queued. Since PELT clock is not stopped, whether to allow update_cfs_group() doing its job for cfs_rqs which are in throttled hierarchy but still have tasks running/queued is a question. The good side is, continue to run update_cfs_group() can get these cfs_rq entities with an up2date weight and that up2date weight can be useful to derive an accurate load for the CPU as well as ensure fairness if multiple tasks of different cgroups are running on the same CPU. OTOH, as Benjamin Segall pointed: when unthrottle comes around the most likely correct distribution is the distribution we had at the time of throttle. In reality, either way may not matter that much if tasks in throttled hierarchy don't run in kernel mode for too long. But in case that happens, let these cfs_rq entities have an up2date weight seems a good thing to do.

sched/fair: Propagate load for throttled cfs_rq
Before task based throttle model, propagating load will stop at a
throttled cfs_rq and that propagate will happen on unthrottle time by
update_load_avg().
Now that there is no update_load_avg() on unthrottle for throttled
cfs_rq and all load tracking is done by task related operations, let the
propagate happen immediately.
While at it, add a comment to explain why cfs_rqs that are not affected
by throttle have to be added to leaf cfs_rq list in
propagate_entity_cfs_rq() per my understanding of commit

mm: memory-tiering: fix PGPROMOTE_CANDIDATE counting
Goto-san reported confusing pgpromote statistics where the
pgpromote_success count significantly exceeded pgpromote_candidate.
On a system with three nodes (nodes 0-1: DRAM 4GB, node 2: NVDIMM 4GB):
# Enable demotion only
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/mm/numa/demotion_enabled
numactl -m 0-1 memhog -r200 3500M >/dev/null &
pid=$!
sleep 2
numactl memhog -r100 2500M >/dev/null &
sleep 10
kill -9 $pid # terminate the 1st memhog
# Enable promotion
echo 2 > /proc/sys/kernel/numa_balancing
After a few seconds, we observeed `pgpromote_candidate < pgpromote_success`
$ grep -e pgpromote /proc/vmstat
pgpromote_success 2579
pgpromote_candidate 0
In this scenario, after terminating the first memhog, the conditions for
pgdat_free_space_enough() are quickly met, and triggers promotion.
However, these migrated pages are only counted for in PGPROMOTE_SUCCESS,
not in PGPROMOTE_CANDIDATE.
To solve these confusing statistics, introduce PGPROMOTE_CANDIDATE_NRL to
count the missed promotion pages. And also, not counting these pages into
PGPROMOTE_CANDIDATE is to avoid changing the existing algorithm or
performance of the promotion rate limit.

sched/fair: Task based throttle time accounting
With task based throttle model, the previous way to check cfs_rq's nr_queued to decide if throttled time should be accounted doesn't work as expected, e.g. when a cfs_rq which has a single task is throttled, that task could later block in kernel mode instead of being dequeued on limbo list and accounting this as throttled time is not accurate. Rework throttle time accounting for a cfs_rq as follows: - start accounting when the first task gets throttled in its hierarchy; - stop accounting on unthrottle. Note that there will be a time gap between when a cfs_rq is throttled and when a task in its hierarchy is actually throttled. This accounting mechanism only starts accounting in the latter case.

sched/fair: Switch to task based throttle model
In current throttle model, when a cfs_rq is throttled, its entity will be dequeued from cpu's rq, making tasks attached to it not able to run, thus achiveing the throttle target. This has a drawback though: assume a task is a reader of percpu_rwsem and is waiting. When it gets woken, it can not run till its task group's next period comes, which can be a relatively long time. Waiting writer will have to wait longer due to this and it also makes further reader build up and eventually trigger task hung. To improve this situation, change the throttle model to task based, i.e. when a cfs_rq is throttled, record its throttled status but do not remove it from cpu's rq. Instead, for tasks that belong to this cfs_rq, when they get picked, add a task work to them so that when they return to user, they can be dequeued there. In this way, tasks throttled will not hold any kernel resources. And on unthrottle, enqueue back those tasks so they can continue to run. Throttled cfs_rq's PELT clock is handled differently now: previously the cfs_rq's PELT clock is stopped once it entered throttled state but since now tasks(in kernel mode) can continue to run, change the behaviour to stop PELT clock when the throttled cfs_rq has no tasks left.

sched: Fix runtime accounting w/ split exec & sched contexts
Without proxy-exec, we normally charge the "current" task for both its vruntime as well as its sum_exec_runtime. With proxy, however, we have two "current" contexts: the scheduler context and the execution context. We want to charge the execution context rq->curr (ie: proxy/lock holder) execution time to its sum_exec_runtime (so it's clear to userland the rq->curr task *is* running), as well as its thread group. However the rest of the time accounting (such a vruntime and cgroup accounting), we charge against the scheduler context (rq->donor) task, because it is from that task that the time is being "donated". If the donor and curr tasks are the same, then it's the same as without proxy.

sched/core: Reorganize cgroup bandwidth control interface file writes
- Move input parameter validation from tg_set_cfs_bandwidth() to the new
outer function tg_set_bandwidth(). The outer function handles parameters
in usecs, validates them and calls tg_set_cfs_bandwidth() which converts
them into nsecs. This matches tg_bandwidth() on the read side.
- max/min_cfs_* consts are now used by tg_set_bandwidth(). Relocate, convert
into usecs and drop "cfs" from the names.
- Reimplement cpu_cfs_{period|quote|burst}_write_*() using tg_bandwidth()
and tg_set_bandwidth() and replace "cfs" in the names with "bw".
- Update cpu_max_write() to use tg_set_bandiwdth(). cpu_period_quota_parse()
is updated to drop nsec conversion accordingly. This aligns the behavior
with cfs_period_quota_print().
- Drop now unused tg_set_cfs_{period|quota|burst}().
- While at it, for consistency, rename default_cfs_period() to
default_bw_period_us() and make it return usecs.
This is to prepare for adding bandwidth control support to sched_ext.
tg_set_bandwidth() will be used as the muxing point. No functional changes
intended.

Note that this patch is pretty large, because there's no clear separation between various aspects of the SMP scheduler, it's basically a huge block of #ifdef CONFIG_SMP.

sched/numa: fix task swap by skipping kernel threads
Patch series "sched/numa: add statistics of numa balance task migration",
v6.
Introduce task migration and swap statistics in the following places:
/sys/fs/cgroup/{GROUP}/memory.stat
/proc/{PID}/sched
/proc/vmstat
These statistics facilitate a rapid evaluation of the performance and
resource utilization of the target workload.
This patch (of 2):
Task swapping is triggered when there are no idle CPUs in task A's
preferred node. In this case, the NUMA load balancer chooses a task B
on A's preferred node and swaps B with A. This helps improve NUMA
locality without introducing load imbalance between nodes. In the
current implementation, B's NUMA node preference is not mandatory.
That is to say, a kernel thread might be incorrectly chosen as B.
However, kernel thread and user space thread that does not have mm are
not supposed to be covered by NUMA balancing because NUMA balancing
only considers user pages via VMAs.
According to Peter's suggestion for fixing this issue, we use
PF_KTHREAD to skip the kernel thread. curr->mm is also checked because
it is possible that user_mode_thread() might create a user thread
without an mm. As per Prateek's analysis, after adding the PF_KTHREAD
check, there is no need to further check the PF_IDLE flag:
: - play_idle_precise() already ensures PF_KTHREAD is set before adding
: PF_IDLE
:
: - cpu_startup_entry() is only called from the startup thread which
: should be marked with PF_KTHREAD (based on my understanding looking at

In a simple test case, the reduction of a guest VM's memory consumption was dramatic. - "Minor cleanups and improvements to swap freeing code" from Kemeng Shi provides some code cleaups and a small efficiency improvement to this part of our swap handling code. - "ptrace: introduce PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL_INFO API" from Dmitry Levin adds the ability for a ptracer to modify syscalls arguments. At this time we can alter only "system call information that are used by strace system call tampering, namely, syscall number, syscall arguments, and syscall return value. This series should have been incorporated into mm.git's "non-MM" branch, but I goofed. - "fs/proc: extend the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl to report guard regions" from Andrei Vagin extends the info returned by the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl against /proc/pid/pagemap. This permits CRIU to more efficiently get at the info about guard regions. - "Fix parameter passed to page_mapcount_is_type()" from Gavin Shan implements that fix. No runtime effect is expected because validate_page_before_insert() happens to fix up this error. - "kernel/events/uprobes: uprobe_write_opcode() rewrite" from David Hildenbrand basically brings uprobe text poking into the current decade. Remove a bunch of hand-rolled implementation in favor of using more current facilities. - "mm/ptdump: Drop assumption that pxd_val() is u64" from Anshuman Khandual provides enhancements and generalizations to the pte dumping code. This might be needed when 128-bit Page Table Descriptors are enabled for ARM. - "Always call constructor for kernel page tables" from Kevin Brodsky ensures that the ctor/dtor is always called for kernel pgtables, as it already is for user pgtables. This permits the addition of more functionality such as "insert hooks to protect page tables". This change does result in various architectures performing unnecesary work, but this is fixed up where it is anticipated to occur. - "Rust support for mm_struct, vm_area_struct, and mmap" from Alice Ryhl adds plumbing to permit Rust access to core MM structures. - "fix incorrectly disallowed anonymous VMA merges" from Lorenzo Stoakes takes advantage of some VMA merging opportunities which we've been missing for 15 years. - "mm/madvise: batch tlb flushes for MADV_DONTNEED and MADV_FREE" from SeongJae Park optimizes process_madvise()'s TLB flushing. Instead of flushing each address range in the provided iovec, we batch the flushing across all the iovec entries. The syscall's cost was approximately halved with a microbenchmark which was designed to load this particular operation. - "Track node vacancy to reduce worst case allocation counts" from Sidhartha Kumar makes the maple tree smarter about its node preallocation. stress-ng mmap performance increased by single-digit percentages and the amount of unnecessarily preallocated memory was dramaticelly reduced. - "mm/gup: Minor fix, cleanup and improvements" from Baoquan He removes a few unnecessary things which Baoquan noted when reading the code. - ""Enhance sysfs handling for memory hotplug in weighted interleave" from Rakie Kim "enhances the weighted interleave policy in the memory management subsystem by improving sysfs handling, fixing memory leaks, and introducing dynamic sysfs updates for memory hotplug support". Fixes things on error paths which we are unlikely to hit. - "mm/damon: auto-tune DAMOS for NUMA setups including tiered memory" from SeongJae Park introduces new DAMOS quota goal metrics which eliminate the manual tuning which is required when utilizing DAMON for memory tiering. - "mm/vmalloc.c: code cleanup and improvements" from Baoquan He provides cleanups and small efficiency improvements which Baoquan found via code inspection. - "vmscan: enforce mems_effective during demotion" from Gregory Price changes reclaim to respect cpuset.mems_effective during demotion when possible. because presently, reclaim explicitly ignores cpuset.mems_effective when demoting, which may cause the cpuset settings to violated. This is useful for isolating workloads on a multi-tenant system from certain classes of memory more consistently. - "Clean up split_huge_pmd_locked() and remove unnecessary folio pointers" from Gavin Guo provides minor cleanups and efficiency gains in in the huge page splitting and migrating code. - "Use kmem_cache for memcg alloc" from Huan Yang creates a slab cache for `struct mem_cgroup', yielding improved memory utilization. - "add max arg to swappiness in memory.reclaim and lru_gen" from Zhongkun He adds a new "max" argument to the "swappiness=" argument for memory.reclaim MGLRU's lru_gen. This directs proactive reclaim to reclaim from only anon folios rather than file-backed folios. - "kexec: introduce Kexec HandOver (KHO)" from Mike Rapoport is the first step on the path to permitting the kernel to maintain existing VMs while replacing the host kernel via file-based kexec. At this time only memblock's reserve_mem is preserved. - "mm: Introduce for_each_valid_pfn()" from David Woodhouse provides and uses a smarter way of looping over a pfn range. By skipping ranges of invalid pfns. - "sched/numa: Skip VMA scanning on memory pinned to one NUMA node via cpuset.mems" from Libo Chen removes a lot of pointless VMA scanning when a task is pinned a single NUMA mode. Dramatic performance benefits were seen in some real world cases. - "JFS: Implement migrate_folio for jfs_metapage_aops" from Shivank Garg addresses a warning which occurs during memory compaction when using JFS. - "move all VMA allocation, freeing and duplication logic to mm" from Lorenzo Stoakes moves some VMA code from kernel/fork.c into the more appropriate mm/vma.c. - "mm, swap: clean up swap cache mapping helper" from Kairui Song provides code consolidation and cleanups related to the folio_index() function. - "mm/gup: Cleanup memfd_pin_folios()" from Vishal Moola does that. - "memcg: Fix test_memcg_min/low test failures" from Waiman Long addresses some bogus failures which are being reported by the test_memcontrol selftest. - "eliminate mmap() retry merge, add .mmap_prepare hook" from Lorenzo Stoakes commences the deprecation of file_operations.mmap() in favor of the new file_operations.mmap_prepare(). The latter is more restrictive and prevents drivers from messing with things in ways which, amongst other problems, may defeat VMA merging. - "memcg: decouple memcg and objcg stocks"" from Shakeel Butt decouples the per-cpu memcg charge cache from the objcg's one. This is a step along the way to making memcg and objcg charging NMI-safe, which is a BPF requirement. - "mm/damon: minor fixups and improvements for code, tests, and documents" from SeongJae Park is yet another batch of miscellaneous DAMON changes. Fix and improve minor problems in code, tests and documents. - "memcg: make memcg stats irq safe" from Shakeel Butt converts memcg stats to be irq safe.

sched/fair: Fixup wake_up_sync() vs DELAYED_DEQUEUE
Delayed dequeued feature keeps a sleeping task enqueued until its
lag has elapsed. As a result, it stays also visible in rq->nr_running.
So when in wake_affine_idle(), we should use the real running-tasks
in rq to check whether we should place the wake-up task to
current cpu.
On the other hand, add a helper function to return the nr-delayed.

sched/numa: add tracepoint that tracks the skipping of numa balancing due to cpuset memory pinning
Unlike sched_skip_vma_numa tracepoint which tracks skipped VMAs, this tracks the task subjected to cpuset.mems pinning and prints out its allowed memory node mask.

sched/numa: skip VMA scanning on memory pinned to one NUMA node via cpuset.mems
Patch series "sched/numa: Skip VMA scanning on memory pinned to one NUMA node via cpuset.mems", v5. This patch (of 2): When the memory of the current task is pinned to one NUMA node by cgroup, there is no point in continuing the rest of VMA scanning and hinting page faults as they will just be overhead. With this change, there will be no more unnecessary PTE updates or page faults in this scenario. We have seen up to a 6x improvement on a typical java workload running on VMs with memory and CPU pinned to one NUMA node via cpuset in a two-socket AARCH64 system. With the same pinning, on a 18-cores-per-socket Intel platform, we have seen 20% improvment in a microbench that creates a 30-vCPU selftest KVM guest with 4GB memory, where each vCPU reads 4KB pages in a fixed number of loops.

sched/eevdf: Fix se->slice being set to U64_MAX and resulting crash
There is a code path in dequeue_entities() that can set the slice of a
sched_entity to U64_MAX, which sometimes results in a crash.
The offending case is when dequeue_entities() is called to dequeue a
delayed group entity, and then the entity's parent's dequeue is delayed.
In that case:
1. In the if (entity_is_task(se)) else block at the beginning of
dequeue_entities(), slice is set to
cfs_rq_min_slice(group_cfs_rq(se)). If the entity was delayed, then
it has no queued tasks, so cfs_rq_min_slice() returns U64_MAX.
2. The first for_each_sched_entity() loop dequeues the entity.
3. If the entity was its parent's only child, then the next iteration
tries to dequeue the parent.
4. If the parent's dequeue needs to be delayed, then it breaks from the
first for_each_sched_entity() loop _without updating slice_.
5. The second for_each_sched_entity() loop sets the parent's ->slice to
the saved slice, which is still U64_MAX.
This throws off subsequent calculations with potentially catastrophic
results. A manifestation we saw in production was:
6. In update_entity_lag(), se->slice is used to calculate limit, which
ends up as a huge negative number.
7. limit is used in se->vlag = clamp(vlag, -limit, limit). Because limit
is negative, vlag > limit, so se->vlag is set to the same huge
negative number.
8. In place_entity(), se->vlag is scaled, which overflows and results in
another huge (positive or negative) number.
9. The adjusted lag is subtracted from se->vruntime, which increases or
decreases se->vruntime by a huge number.
10. pick_eevdf() calls entity_eligible()/vruntime_eligible(), which
incorrectly returns false because the vruntime is so far from the
other vruntimes on the queue, causing the
(vruntime - cfs_rq->min_vruntime) * load calulation to overflow.
11. Nothing appears to be eligible, so pick_eevdf() returns NULL.
12. pick_next_entity() tries to dereference the return value of
pick_eevdf() and crashes.
Dumping the cfs_rq states from the core dumps with drgn showed tell-tale
huge vruntime ranges and bogus vlag values, and I also traced se->slice
being set to U64_MAX on live systems (which was usually "benign" since
the rest of the runqueue needed to be in a particular state to crash).
Fix it in dequeue_entities() by always setting slice from the first
non-empty cfs_rq.

sched/fair: Use READ_ONCE() to read sg->asym_prefer_cpu
Subsequent commits add the support to dynamically update the sched_group struct's "asym_prefer_cpu" member from a remote CPU.

Pull timer cleanups from Thomas Gleixner: "A treewide hrtimer timer cleanup hrtimers are initialized with hrtimer_init() and a subsequent store to the callback pointer. This turned out to be suboptimal for the upcoming Rust integration and is obviously a silly implementation to begin with. This cleanup replaces the hrtimer_init(T); T->function = cb; sequence with hrtimer_setup(T, cb); The conversion was done with Coccinelle and a few manual fixups. Once the conversion has completely landed in mainline, hrtimer_init() will be removed and the hrtimer::function becomes a private member" * tag 'timers-cleanups-2025-03-23' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (100 commits) wifi: rt2x00: Switch to use hrtimer_update_function() io_uring: Use helper function hrtimer_update_function() serial: xilinx_uartps: Use helper function hrtimer_update_function() ASoC: fsl: imx-pcm-fiq: Switch to use hrtimer_setup() RDMA: Switch to use hrtimer_setup() virtio: mem: Switch to use hrtimer_setup() drm/vmwgfx: Switch to use hrtimer_setup() drm/xe/oa: Switch to use hrtimer_setup() drm/vkms: Switch to use hrtimer_setup() drm/msm: Switch to use hrtimer_setup() drm/i915/request: Switch to use hrtimer_setup() drm/i915/uncore: Switch to use hrtimer_setup() drm/i915/pmu: Switch to use hrtimer_setup() drm/i915/perf: Switch to use hrtimer_setup() drm/i915/gvt: Switch to use hrtimer_setup() drm/i915/huc: Switch to use hrtimer_setup() drm/amdgpu: Switch to use hrtimer_setup() stm class: heartbeat: Switch to use hrtimer_setup() i2c: Switch to use hrtimer_setup() iio: Switch to use hrtimer_setup() ... |
