Subject: [RFC PATCH] sched/core: Fix premature p->migration_pending completion
Date: Wed, 27 Jan 2021 19:30:35 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210127193035.13789-1-valentin.schneider@arm.com> (raw)
Fiddling some more with a TLA+ model of set_cpus_allowed_ptr() & friends
unearthed one more outstanding issue. This doesn't even involve
migrate_disable(), but rather affinity changes and execution of the stopper
racing with each other.
My own interpretation of the (lengthy) TLA+ splat (note the potential for
errors at each level) is:
Initial conditions:
victim.cpus_mask = {CPU0, CPU1}
CPU0 CPU1 CPU<don't care>
switch_to(victim)
set_cpus_allowed(victim, {CPU1})
kick CPU0 migration_cpu_stop({.dest_cpu = CPU1})
switch_to(stopper/0)
// e.g. CFS load balance
move_queued_task(CPU0, victim, CPU1);
switch_to(victim)
set_cpus_allowed(victim, {CPU0});
task_rq_unlock();
migration_cpu_stop(dest_cpu=CPU1)
task_rq(p) != rq && pending
kick CPU1 migration_cpu_stop({.dest_cpu = CPU1})
switch_to(stopper/1)
migration_cpu_stop(dest_cpu=CPU1)
task_rq(p) == rq && pending
__migrate_task(dest_cpu) // no-op
complete_all() <-- !!! affinity is {CPU0} !!!
I believe there are two issues there:
- retriggering of migration_cpu_stop() from within migration_cpu_stop()
itself doesn't change arg.dest_cpu
- we'll issue a complete_all() in the task_rq(p) == rq path of
migration_cpu_stop() even if the dest_cpu has been superseded by a
further affinity change.
Something similar could happen with NUMA's migrate_task_to(), and arguably
any other user of migration_cpu_stop() with a .dest_cpu >= 0.
Consider:
CPU0 CPUX
switch_to(victim)
migrate_task_to(victim, CPU1)
kick CPU0 migration_cpu_stop({.dest_cpu = CPU1})
set_cpus_allowed(victim, {CPU42})
task_rq_unlock();
switch_to(stopper/0)
migration_cpu_stop(dest_cpu=CPU1)
task_rq(p) == rq && pending
__migrate_task(dest_cpu)
complete_all() <-- !!! affinity is {CPU42} !!!
Prevent such premature completions by ensuring the dest_cpu in
migration_cpu_stop() is in the task's allowed cpumask.
