Subject: [PATCH 05/12] sched/deadline: Do not release a departing sleeper's bandwidth twice
Date: Wed,  4 Nov 2026 10:10:26 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <21f538f65f013a71920547ac92c76ca8ba544d19.1793804635.git.mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1793804635.git.mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com>

Commit 41a7968022ca ("sched/deadline: Fix total_bw leak when switching
away from SCHED_DEADLINE while !queued") releases the bandwidth of a
task that leaves SCHED_DEADLINE asleep with no inactive timer pending.
Three cases release what the root domain no longer holds, or never held:

 - the task keeps its parameters. inactive_task_timer() resets them
   once it has released the bandwidth (__dl_clear_params()); left in
   place, task_contending() and task_non_contending() take the task,
   now of another policy, for one with bandwidth when priority
   inheritance boosts it into the deadline class, and a deboost while
   it sleeps releases that bandwidth from total_bw a second time. The
   root domain then admits deadline tasks beyond its capacity;
 - a task deboosted from priority inheritance with no parameters of its
   own, and a special one (SCHED_FLAG_SUGOV), have no bandwidth in
   total_bw. Releasing 0 changes nothing, and the root domain that
   dl_task_root_domain_cpu() finds from the task's mask means nothing
   either: a sleeping task of another policy may have no active CPU in
   its mask, a CPU it is pinned to having gone offline, until its next
   wakeup widens it;
 - migrate_task_rq_dl() clears dl_non_contending when it cannot cancel
   the inactive timer because its handler runs. That handler, once it
   takes the task's locks, finds it out of SCHED_DEADLINE and releases
   total_bw itself.

Release for a task with parameters of its own, not special, and reset
its parameters afterwards, once sub_rq_bw(), which reads its dl_bw, is
done: a handler that runs late then finds no bandwidth to release. A
test of hrtimer_active() would not tell that handler apart: it stays
true after the handler returns, until the hrtimer code clears its
running state, and the bandwidth of a task switched out meanwhile would
never be released.

The deadline_bw_test selftest, added later in this series, reproduces
the first case as pi_former_owner_asleep: in a one-CPU partition with
room, the waiter of its second round is refused as a deadline task,
total_bw having wrapped. The other two were found by reading.
