Subject: [PATCH v33 1/7] sched/psi: Preserve sleep-persistent PSI flags on off-CPU sleeping dequeues
Date: Fri, 23 Oct 2026 22:04:12 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261023220431.1106611-2-jstultz@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261023220431.1106611-1-jstultz@google.com>
Normally, when a task goes to sleep (DEQUEUE_SLEEP),
psi_dequeue() does nothing because psi_sched_switch() ->
psi_task_switch() immediately follows and handles the
runnable-to-sleeping PSI transition (clearing TSK_ONCPU,
TSK_RUNNING, and TSK_MEMSTALL_RUNNING, setting TSK_IOWAIT, and
leaving sleep-persistent TSK_MEMSTALL set).
With Proxy Execution, mutex-blocked tasks stay on the runqueue
across context switches, so psi_sched_switch() runs with
sleep=false and only clears TSK_ONCPU. If the blocked donor task
is later deactivated via block_task(), psi_dequeue() is called
with DEQUEUE_SLEEP while TSK_ONCPU is already cleared.
Commit c2ae8b0df2d1 ("sched/core: Fix psi_dequeue() for Proxy
Execution") checked for (flags & DEQUEUE_SLEEP) && (p->psi_flags
& TSK_ONCPU), falling through to
psi_task_change(p, p->psi_flags, 0) when TSK_ONCPU was not set.
However, clearing all of p->psi_flags treats the sleeping
dequeue as a migration and wipes sleep-persistent flags like
TSK_MEMSTALL (and fails to set TSK_IOWAIT).
When the task later wakes up on the same cpu without
ENQUEUE_MIGRATED, psi_enqueue() assumes TSK_MEMSTALL is still
set from when the task went to sleep and only sets TSK_RUNNING |
TSK_MEMSTALL_RUNNING. This leaves things in an inconsistent
state (TSK_MEMSTALL_RUNNING set without TSK_MEMSTALL), causing
psi.mem.full to exceed psi.mem.some, delta underflows in
get_recent_times(), and spurious psi.mem.full events.
So fix psi_dequeue() such that when DEQUEUE_SLEEP is set and
TSK_ONCPU is not set, we do the same runnable-to-sleeping flag
transition as psi_task_switch() (clearing TSK_RUNNING and
TSK_MEMSTALL_RUNNING, setting TSK_IOWAIT, and preserving
TSK_MEMSTALL).
Fixes: c2ae8b0df2d1 ("sched/core: Fix psi_dequeue() for Proxy Execution")
