From cb4edce02d666031b99edba2ef570af3aa6ee818 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Fri, 3 Jul 2020 12:40:33 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] sched: Fix loadavg accounting race The recent commit: c6e7bd7afaeb ("sched/core: Optimize ttwu() spinning on p->on_cpu") moved these lines in ttwu(): p->sched_contributes_to_load = !!task_contributes_to_load(p); p->state = TASK_WAKING; up before: smp_cond_load_acquire(&p->on_cpu, !VAL); into the 'p->on_rq == 0' block, with the thinking that once we hit schedule() the current task cannot change it's ->state anymore. And while this is true, it is both incorrect and flawed. It is incorrect in that we need at least an ACQUIRE on 'p->on_rq == 0' to avoid weak hardware from re-ordering things for us. This can fairly easily be achieved by relying on the control-dependency already in place. The second problem, which makes the flaw in the original argument, is that while schedule() will not change prev->state, it will read it a number of times (arguably too many times since it's marked volatile). The previous condition 'p->on_cpu == 0' was sufficient because that indicates schedule() has completed, and will no longer read prev->state. So now the trick is to make this same true for the (much) earlier 'prev->on_rq == 0' case. Furthermore, in order to make the ordering stick, the 'prev->on_rq = 0' assignment needs to he a RELEASE, but adding additional ordering to schedule() is an unwelcome proposition at the best of times, doubly so for mere accounting. Luckily we can push the prev->state load up before rq->lock, with the only caveat that we then have to re-read the state after. However, we know that if it changed, we no longer have to worry about the blocking path. This gives us the required ordering, if we block, we did the prev->state load before an (effective) smp_mb() and the p->on_rq store needs not change. With this we end up with the effective ordering: LOAD p->state LOAD-ACQUIRE p->on_rq == 0 MB STORE p->on_rq, 0 STORE p->state, TASK_WAKING which ensures the TASK_WAKING store happens after the prev->state load, and all is well again.
