Subject: [PATCH v2 16/21] sched/deadline: Move a task's bandwidth only where room was made
Date: Wed, 4 Nov 2026 16:12:02 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261104211207.1392343-17-mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261104211207.1392343-1-mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com>
set_cpus_allowed_dl() moves the bandwidth of a deadline task off the
root domain that counts it whenever the new mask leaves that root
domain, on the strength of the room cpuset_can_attach() made in the one
the task moves to, as its comment says. Nothing checks that the room
was made, and two paths reach it without any:
- cpuset_can_attach() counts the deadline tasks of the attach it is
asked about. A task that becomes one after that has nothing set
aside, and the attach moves its bandwidth all the same: the root
domain it lands in ends short of what its tasks hold, and underflows
when they leave. A task that flips between SCHED_DEADLINE and
SCHED_OTHER while it is moved in and out of a one-CPU partition root
drives total_bw of that partition to 2^64 - 576716 in 8-CPU VMs of
v7.4-rc1 with the four deadline fixes of sched/urgent, in 1 VM of 4;
- sched_setaffinity() of a deadline task takes the same path. With
admission control on, a mask that does not cover the task's root
domain is refused before this (__sched_setaffinity()), but with
sched_rt_runtime_us at -1 nothing refuses it.
Say in the affinity context whether the caller made that room, as
SCA_DL_BW_RESERVED, and move the bandwidth only then. The bandwidth of a
task whose move no one made room for stays where it is counted, and the
next rebuild of the accounting attributes it to the root domain of the
task's cpuset.
Fixes: b4a61fdc19c5 ("sched/deadline: Fix stale root domain in cpuset bandwidth transfer")
