Commit 9d5142624256 ("sched/deadline: Reduce rq lock contention by
eliminating locking of non-feasible target") broke select_task_rq_dl()
and find_lock_later_rq(), because it introduced a comparison between
the local task's deadline and dl.earliest_dl.curr of the remote queue.
However, if the remote runqueue does not contain any SCHED_DEADLINE
task its earliest_dl.curr is 0 (always smaller than the deadline of
the local task) and the remote runqueue is not selected for pushing.
As a result, if an application creates multiple SCHED_DEADLINE threads,
they will never be pushed to runqueues that do not already contain
SCHED_DEADLINE tasks.
This patch fixes the issue by checking if dl.dl_nr_running == 0.Signed-off-by: Luca Abeni <[email protected]> --- kernel/sched/deadline.c | 8 +++++--- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/kernel/sched/deadline.c b/kernel/sched/deadline.c index fc8f010..142df26 100644 --- a/kernel/sched/deadline.c +++ b/kernel/sched/deadline.c @@ -1066,8 +1066,9 @@ select_task_rq_dl(struct task_struct *p, int cpu, int sd_flag, int flags) int target = find_later_rq(p); if (target != -1 && - dl_time_before(p->dl.deadline, - cpu_rq(target)->dl.earliest_dl.curr)) + (dl_time_before(p->dl.deadline, + cpu_rq(target)->dl.earliest_dl.curr) || + (cpu_rq(target)->dl.dl_nr_running == 0))) cpu = target; } rcu_read_unlock(); @@ -1417,7 +1418,8 @@ static struct rq *find_lock_later_rq(struct task_struct *task, struct rq *rq) later_rq = cpu_rq(cpu); - if (!dl_time_before(task->dl.deadline, + if (later_rq->dl.dl_nr_running && + !dl_time_before(task->dl.deadline, later_rq->dl.earliest_dl.curr)) { /* * Target rq has tasks of equal or earlier deadline, -- 1.9.1 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
