The following warning was triggered on a large machine early in boot on
a distribution kernel but the same problem should also affect mainline.

   WARNING: CPU: 439 PID: 10 at ../kernel/workqueue.c:2231 process_one_work+0x4d/0x440
   Call Trace:
    &lt;TASK&gt;
    rescuer_thread+0x1f6/0x360
    kthread+0x156/0x180
    ret_from_fork+0x22/0x30
    &lt;/TASK&gt;

Commit c6e7bd7afaeb ("sched/core: Optimize ttwu() spinning on p-&gt;on_cpu")
optimises ttwu by queueing a task that is descheduling on the wakelist,
but does not check if the task descheduling is still allowed to run on that CPU.

In this warning, the problematic task is a workqueue rescue thread which
checks if the rescue is for a per-cpu workqueue and running on the wrong CPU.
While this is early in boot and it should be possible to create workers,
the rescue thread may still used if the MAYDAY_INITIAL_TIMEOUT is reached
or MAYDAY_INTERVAL and on a sufficiently large machine, the rescue
thread is being used frequently.

Tracing confirmed that the task should have migrated properly using the
stopper thread to handle the migration. However, a parallel wakeup from udev
running on another CPU that does not share CPU cache observes p-&gt;on_cpu and
uses task_cpu(p), queues the task on the old CPU and triggers the warning.

Check that the wakee task that is descheduling is still allowed to run
on its current CPU and if not, wait for the descheduling to complete
and select an allowed CPU.

 "Several core optimizations:

   - threadgroup_rwsem write locking is skipped when configuring

   - threadgroup_rwsem used to be put into non-percpu mode by default
     due to latency concerns in specific use cases. There's no reason

   - psi no longer allocates memory when disabled.

There are several symbols defined in kernel/sched/sched.h but get wrapped
in CONFIG_CGROUP_SCHED, even though dummy versions get built in rt.c and
therefore trigger Sparse warnings:

  kernel/sched/rt.c:309:6: warning: symbol 'unregister_rt_sched_group' was not declared. Should it be static?
  kernel/sched/rt.c:311:6: warning: symbol 'free_rt_sched_group' was not declared. Should it be static?
  kernel/sched/rt.c:313:5: warning: symbol 'alloc_rt_sched_group' was not declared. Should it be static?

Fix this by moving them outside the CONFIG_CGROUP_SCHED block.

<title>sched, cpuset: Fix dl_cpu_busy() panic due to empty cs-&gt;cpus_allowed</title>

<id>b6e8d40d43ae4dec00c8fea2593eeea3114b8f44</id>
<content type='text'>
With cgroup v2, the cpuset's cpus_allowed mask can be empty indicating
that the cpuset will just use the effective CPUs of its parent. So
cpuset_can_attach() can call task_can_attach() with an empty mask.
This can lead to cpumask_any_and() returns nr_cpu_ids causing the call
to dl_bw_of() to crash due to percpu value access of an out of bound
CPU value. For example:

	[80468.182258] BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffffff8b6648b0
	  :
	[80468.191019] RIP: 0010:dl_cpu_busy+0x30/0x2b0

	[80468.224287]  entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xae

Fix that by using effective_cpus instead. For cgroup v1, effective_cpus
is the same as cpus_allowed. For v2, effective_cpus is the real cpumask
to be used by tasks within the cpuset anyway.

Also update task_can_attach()'s 2nd argument name to cs_effective_cpus to
reflect the change. In addition, a check is added to task_can_attach()
to guard against the possibility that cpumask_any_and() may return a
value &gt;= nr_cpu_ids.

Pull RCU updates from Paul McKenney:

 - Documentation updates

 - Miscellaneous fixes

 - Callback-offload updates, perhaps most notably a new
   RCU_NOCB_CPU_DEFAULT_ALL Kconfig option that causes all CPUs to be
   offloaded at boot time, regardless of kernel boot parameters.

   This is useful to battery-powered systems such as ChromeOS and
   Android. In addition, a new RCU_NOCB_CPU_CB_BOOST kernel boot
   parameter prevents offloaded callbacks from interfering with
   real-time workloads and with energy-efficiency mechanisms

 - Polled grace-period updates, perhaps most notably making these APIs
   account for both normal and expedited grace periods

 - Tasks RCU updates, perhaps most notably reducing the CPU overhead of
   RCU tasks trace grace periods by more than a factor of two on a
   system with 15,000 tasks.

   The reduction is expected to increase with the number of tasks, so it
   seems reasonable to hypothesize that a system with 150,000 tasks
   might see a 20-fold reduction in CPU overhead

 - Torture-test updates

 - Updates that merge RCU's dyntick-idle tracking into context tracking,
   thus reducing the overhead of transitioning to kernel mode from
   either idle or nohz_full userspace execution for kernels that track
   context independently of RCU.

   This is expected to be helpful primarily for kernels built with
   CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y

Pull io_uring updates from Jens Axboe:

 - As per (valid) complaint in the last merge window, fs/io_uring.c has
   grown quite large these days. io_uring isn't really tied to fs
   either, as it supports a wide variety of functionality outside of
   that.

   Move the code to io_uring/ and split it into files that either
   implement a specific request type, and split some code into helpers
   as well. The code is organized a lot better like this, and io_uring.c
   is now &lt; 4K LOC (me).

 - Deprecate the epoll_ctl opcode. It'll still work, just trigger a
   warning once if used. If we don't get any complaints on this, and I
   don't expect any, then we can fully remove it in a future release
   (me).

 - Improve the cancel hash locking (Hao)

 - kbuf cleanups (Hao)

 - Efficiency improvements to the task_work handling (Dylan, Pavel)

 - Provided buffer improvements (Dylan)

 - Add support for recv/recvmsg multishot support. This is similar to
   the accept (or poll) support for have for multishot, where a single
   SQE can trigger everytime data is received. For applications that
   expect to do more than a few receives on an instantiated socket, this
   greatly improves efficiency (Dylan).

 - Efficiency improvements for poll handling (Pavel)

 - Poll cancelation improvements (Pavel)

 - Allow specifiying a range for direct descriptor allocations (Pavel)

 - Cleanup the cqe32 handling (Pavel)

 - Move io_uring types to greatly cleanup the tracing (Pavel)

 - Tons of great code cleanups and improvements (Pavel)

 - Add a way to do sync cancelations rather than through the sqe -&gt; cqe
   interface, as that's a lot easier to use for some use cases (me).

 - Add support to IORING_OP_MSG_RING for sending direct descriptors to a
   different ring. This avoids the usually problematic SCM case, as we
   disallow those. (me)

 - Make the per-command alloc cache we use for apoll generic, place
   limits on it, and use it for netmsg as well (me).

 - Various cleanups (me, Michal, Gustavo, Uros)

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Load-balancing improvements:

   - Improve NUMA balancing on AMD Zen systems for affine workloads.

   - Improve the handling of reduced-capacity CPUs in load-balancing.

   - Energy Model improvements: fix &amp; refine all the energy fairness
     metrics (PELT), and remove the conservative threshold requiring 6%
     energy savings to migrate a task. Doing this improves power
     efficiency for most workloads, and also increases the reliability
     of energy-efficiency scheduling.

   - Optimize/tweak select_idle_cpu() to spend (much) less time
     searching for an idle CPU on overloaded systems. There's reports of
     several milliseconds spent there on large systems with large
     workloads ...

     [ Since the search logic changed, there might be behavioral side
       effects. ]

   - Improve NUMA imbalance behavior. On certain systems with spare
     capacity, initial placement of tasks is non-deterministic, and such
     an artificial placement imbalance can persist for a long time,
     hurting (and sometimes helping) performance.

     The fix is to make fork-time task placement consistent with runtime
     NUMA balancing placement.

     Note that some performance regressions were reported against this,
     caused by workloads that are not memory bandwith limited, which
     benefit from the artificial locality of the placement bug(s). Mel
     Gorman's conclusion, with which we concur, was that consistency is
     better than random workload benefits from non-deterministic bugs:

        "Given there is no crystal ball and it's a tradeoff, I think
         it's better to be consistent and use similar logic at both fork
         time and runtime even if it doesn't have universal benefit."

   - Improve core scheduling by fixing a bug in
     sched_core_update_cookie() that caused unnecessary forced idling.

   - Improve wakeup-balancing by allowing same-LLC wakeup of idle CPUs
     for newly woken tasks.

   - Fix a newidle balancing bug that introduced unnecessary wakeup
     latencies.

  ABI improvements/fixes:

   - Do not check capabilities and do not issue capability check denial
     messages when a scheduler syscall doesn't require privileges. (Such
     as increasing niceness.)

   - Add forced-idle accounting to cgroups too.

   - Fix/improve the RSEQ ABI to not just silently accept unknown flags.
     (No existing tooling is known to have learned to rely on the
     previous behavior.)

   - Depreciate the (unused) RSEQ_CS_FLAG_NO_RESTART_ON_* flags.

  Optimizations:

   - Optimize &amp; simplify leaf_cfs_rq_list()

   - Micro-optimize set_nr_{and_not,if}_polling() via try_cmpxchg().

  Misc fixes &amp; cleanups:

   - Fix the RSEQ self-tests on RISC-V and Glibc 2.35 systems.

   - Fix a full-NOHZ bug that can in some cases result in the tick not
     being re-enabled when the last SCHED_RT task is gone from a
     runqueue but there's still SCHED_OTHER tasks around.

   - Various PREEMPT_RT related fixes.

   - Misc cleanups &amp; smaller fixes"

In preparation for splitting io_uring up a bit, move it into its own
top level directory. It didn't really belong in fs/ anyway, as it's
not a file system only API.

This adds io_uring/ and moves the core files in there, and updates the
MAINTAINERS file for the new location.
