I noticed the group constantly got throttled even it consumed
low cpu usage, this caused some jitters on the response time
to some of our business containers enabling cpu quota.
It's very simple to reproduce:
mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/test
cd /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/test
echo 100000 > cpu.cfs_quota_us
echo $$ > tasks
then repeat:
cat cpu.stat |grep nr_throttled // nr_throttled will increase
After some analysis, we found that cfs_rq::runtime_remaining will
be cleared by expire_cfs_rq_runtime() due to two equal but stale
"cfs_{b|q}->runtime_expires" after period timer is re-armed.
The current condition to judge clock drift in expire_cfs_rq_runtime()
is wrong, the two runtime_expires are actually the same when clock
drift happens, so this condtion can never hit. The orginal design was
correctly done by commit a9cf55b28610 ("sched: Expire invalid runtime"),
but was changed to be the current one due to its locking issue.
This patch introduces another way, it adds a new field in both structures
cfs_rq and cfs_bandwidth to record the expiration update sequence, and
use them to figure out if clock drift happens(true if they equal).
Fixes: 51f2176d74ac ("sched/fair: Fix unlocked reads of some
cfs_b->quota/period")
