Subject: [PATCH 2/3] sched: fix cgroup movement of forking process
Date: Tue, 13 Dec 2011 15:58:56 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20111213155856.aebd6cd0.nishimura@mxp.nes.nec.co.jp> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20111213155710.5b453415.nishimura@mxp.nes.nec.co.jp>
There is a small race between task_fork_fair() and sched_move_task(),
which is trying to move the parent.
task_fork_fair() sched_move_task()
--------------------------------+---------------------------------
cfs_rq = task_cfs_rq(current)
-> cfs_rq is the "old" one.
curr = cfs_rq->curr
-> curr is set to the parent.
task_rq_lock()
dequeue_task()
->parent.se.vruntime -= (old)cfs_rq->min_vruntime
enqueue_task()
->parent.se.vruntime += (new)cfs_rq->min_vruntime
task_rq_unlock()
raw_spin_lock_irqsave(rq->lock)
se->vruntime = curr->vruntime
-> vruntime of the child is set to that of the parent
which has already been updated by sched_move_task().
se->vruntime -= (old)cfs_rq->min_vruntime.
raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore(rq->lock)
As a result, vruntime of the child becomes far bigger than expected,
if (new)cfs_rq->min_vruntime >> (old)cfs_rq->min_vruntime.
This patch fixes this problem by setting "cfs_rq" and "curr" after holding
the rq->lock.
