linux-toradex.git/kernel/sched, branch v5.19-rc3 Linux kernel for Apalis and Colibri modules sched: Fix balance_push() vs __sched_setscheduler() 2022-06-13T08:15:07+00:00 Peter Zijlstra peterz@infradead.org 2022-06-07T20:41:55+00:00 04193d590b390ec7a0592630f46d559ec6564ba1 The purpose of balance_push() is to act as a filter on task selection in the case of CPU hotplug, specifically when taking the CPU out. It does this by (ab)using the balance callback infrastructure, with the express purpose of keeping all the unlikely/odd cases in a single place. In order to serve its purpose, the balance_push_callback needs to be (exclusively) on the callback list at all times (noting that the callback always places itself back on the list the moment it runs, also noting that when the CPU goes down, regular balancing concerns are moot, so ignoring them is fine). And here-in lies the problem, __sched_setscheduler()'s use of splice_balance_callbacks() takes the callbacks off the list across a lock-break, making it possible for, an interleaving, __schedule() to see an empty list and not get filtered.

The purpose of balance_push() is to act as a filter on task selection
in the case of CPU hotplug, specifically when taking the CPU out.

It does this by (ab)using the balance callback infrastructure, with
the express purpose of keeping all the unlikely/odd cases in a single
place.

In order to serve its purpose, the balance_push_callback needs to be
(exclusively) on the callback list at all times (noting that the
callback always places itself back on the list the moment it runs,
also noting that when the CPU goes down, regular balancing concerns
are moot, so ignoring them is fine).

And here-in lies the problem, __sched_setscheduler()'s use of
splice_balance_callbacks() takes the callbacks off the list across a
lock-break, making it possible for, an interleaving, __schedule() to
see an empty list and not get filtered.

Pull RCU update from Paul McKenney:

 - Documentation updates

 - Miscellaneous fixes

 - Callback-offloading updates, mainly simplifications

 - RCU-tasks updates, including some -rt fixups, handling of systems
   with sparse CPU numbering, and a fix for a boot-time race-condition
   failure

 - Put SRCU on a memory diet in order to reduce the size of the
   srcu_struct structure

 - Torture-test updates fixing some bugs in tests and closing some
   testing holes

 - Torture-test updates for the RCU tasks flavors, most notably ensuring
   that building rcutorture and friends does not change the
   RCU-tasks-related Kconfig options

 - Torture-test scripting updates

 - Expedited grace-period updates, most notably providing
   milliseconds-scale (not all that) soft real-time response from
   synchronize_rcu_expedited().

   This is also the first time in almost 30 years of RCU that someone
   other than me has pushed for a reduction in the RCU CPU stall-warning
   timeout, in this case by more than three orders of magnitude from 21
   seconds to 20 milliseconds. This tighter timeout applies only to
   expedited grace periods

Because GCC-12 is fully stupid about array bounds and it's just really
hard to get a solid array definition from a linker script, flip the
array order to avoid needing negative offsets :-/

This makes the whole relational pointer magic a little less obvious, but
alas.
