From 15abaa07a2f0dabb66dfa637162fdaa66b839141 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wanpeng Li Date: Wed, 4 May 2016 14:45:34 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] sched/nohz: Fix affine unpinned timers mess commit 444969223c81c7d0a95136b7b4cfdcfbc96ac5bd upstream. The following commit: 9642d18eee2c ("nohz: Affine unpinned timers to housekeepers")' intended to affine unpinned timers to housekeepers: unpinned timers(full dynaticks, idle) => nearest busy housekeepers(otherwise, fallback to any housekeepers) unpinned timers(full dynaticks, busy) => nearest busy housekeepers(otherwise, fallback to any housekeepers) unpinned timers(houserkeepers, idle) => nearest busy housekeepers(otherwise, fallback to itself) However, the !idle_cpu(i) && is_housekeeping_cpu(cpu) check modified the intention to: unpinned timers(full dynaticks, idle) => any housekeepers(no mattter cpu topology) unpinned timers(full dynaticks, busy) => any housekeepers(no mattter cpu topology) unpinned timers(housekeepers, idle) => any busy cpus(otherwise, fallback to any housekeepers) This patch fixes it by checking if there are busy housekeepers nearby, otherwise falls to any housekeepers/itself. After the patch: unpinned timers(full dynaticks, idle) => nearest busy housekeepers(otherwise, fallback to any housekeepers) unpinned timers(full dynaticks, busy) => nearest busy housekeepers(otherwise, fallback to any housekeepers) unpinned timers(housekeepers, idle) => nearest busy housekeepers(otherwise, fallback to itself) Signed-off-by: Wanpeng Li Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) [ Fixed the changelog. ] Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Linus Torvalds Cc: Mike Galbraith Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Thomas Gleixner Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Fixes: 'commit 9642d18eee2c ("nohz: Affine unpinned timers to housekeepers")' Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1462344334-8303-1-git-send-email-wanpeng.li@hotmail.com Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman --- kernel/sched/core.c | 5 ++++- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/kernel/sched/core.c b/kernel/sched/core.c index 67d1e1597d9c..ea863bc22caf 100644 --- a/kernel/sched/core.c +++ b/kernel/sched/core.c @@ -627,7 +627,10 @@ int get_nohz_timer_target(void) rcu_read_lock(); for_each_domain(cpu, sd) { for_each_cpu(i, sched_domain_span(sd)) { - if (!idle_cpu(i) && is_housekeeping_cpu(cpu)) { + if (cpu == i) + continue; + + if (!idle_cpu(i) && is_housekeeping_cpu(i)) { cpu = i; goto unlock; } -- 2.34.1
