From: Jeffrey Hugo Date: Wed, 7 Jun 2017 19:18:57 +0000 (-0600) Subject: sched/fair: Fix load_balance() affinity redo path X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=65a4433aebe36c8c6abeb69b99ef00274b971c6c;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git sched/fair: Fix load_balance() affinity redo path If load_balance() fails to migrate any tasks because all tasks were affined, load_balance() removes the source CPU from consideration and attempts to redo and balance among the new subset of CPUs. There is a bug in this code path where the algorithm considers all active CPUs in the system (minus the source that was just masked out). This is not valid for two reasons: some active CPUs may not be in the current scheduling domain and one of the active CPUs is dst_cpu. These CPUs should not be considered, as we cannot pull load from them. Instead of failing out of load_balance(), we may end up redoing the search with no valid CPUs and incorrectly concluding the domain is balanced. Additionally, if the group_imbalance flag was just set, it may also be incorrectly unset, thus the flag will not be seen by other CPUs in future load_balance() runs as that algorithm intends. Fix the check by removing CPUs not in the current domain and the dst_cpu from considertation, thus limiting the evaluation to valid remaining CPUs from which load might be migrated.
