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  migration_cpu_stop() even if the dest_cpu has been superseded by a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.
