Subject: [PATCH 09/12] sched/deadline: Do not take a waking task's bandwidth off a runqueue it left
Date: Wed,  4 Nov 2026 10:10:30 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <828cd80ec6e4764f04f8667fc98d7aa22d2bf076.1793804635.git.mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1793804635.git.mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com>

A deadline task that wakes on another CPU has its bandwidth taken off
the runqueue it slept on by migrate_task_rq_dl(), from set_task_cpu(),
and charged to the one it wakes on by the enqueue that follows. That
enqueue can be left to the target CPU through the wake list, and
try_to_wake_up() returns before it runs: the task's task_cpu() is then
the CPU it wakes on while its bandwidth is on no runqueue at all.

sched_setattr() of that task meanwhile finds it off the runqueues, and
dl_change_utilization() takes its old bandwidth off the runqueue of
task_cpu(), which never held it. this_bw of that CPU underflows, which
costs every other task and the fair server there their own, for good.
switched_from_dl() leaves the class through the same hole.

Reaching it needs a deadline task whose wakeup migrates, which asks for
more than one CPU in its root domain and for them to be taken. It is
easier to reach with CONFIG_SCHED_PROXY_EXEC=y, where a task blocked on
a mutex is migrated to the CPU of its owner and wakes back on its own.

In 8 VMs of 8 vCPUs, a task of 10ms every 100ms that sleeps and wakes in
a partition root of two CPUs, both taken by deadline tasks of an earlier
deadline, its runtime changed between 10ms and 20ms from a CPU outside,
warns in all 8 within a second, and the warnings spread to the idle
task's accounting of both CPUs:

  WARNING: kernel/sched/deadline.c:352 at dl_rq_change_utilization+0x71/0x2e0, CPU#0: wake_race/109
   __sub_rq_bw(): this_bw underflow
  WARNING: kernel/sched/deadline.c:316 at task_contending+0x244/0x260, CPU#6: swapper/6/0
   __add_running_bw(): running_bw overflow

Record that window in the entity, as dl_bw_offrq, and leave the
runqueue alone while it is set: the enqueue to come charges the CPU the
task wakes on, with the new bandwidth, which __setparam_dl() sets right
after sched_dl_overflow(). add_rq_bw() clears it, so every path that
charges a runqueue does. The 8 VMs above warn no more. deadline_bw_test,
added later in this series, has params_waking for this: without this
change it fails on every one of those VMs, and random_mix on one of
three.

Fixes: 8fd27231c330 ("sched/deadline: Track the "total rq utilization" too")
