From 4ca9b72b71f10147bd21969c1805f5b2c4ca7b7b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Wed, 25 Jan 2012 11:50:51 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] sched: Fix rq->nr_uninterruptible update race KOSAKI Motohiro noticed the following race: > CPU0 CPU1 > -------------------------------------------------------- > deactivate_task() > task->state = TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE; > activate_task() > rq->nr_uninterruptible--; > > schedule() > deactivate_task() > rq->nr_uninterruptible++; > Kosaki-San's scenario is possible when CPU0 runs __sched_setscheduler() against CPU1's current @task. __sched_setscheduler() does a dequeue/enqueue in order to move the task to its new queue (position) to reflect the newly provided scheduling parameters. However it should be completely invariant to nr_uninterruptible accounting, sched_setscheduler() doesn't affect readyness to run, merely policy on when to run. So convert the inappropriate activate/deactivate_task usage to enqueue/dequeue_task, which avoids the nr_uninterruptible accounting. Also convert the two other sites: __migrate_task() and normalize_task() that still use activate/deactivate_task. These sites aren't really a problem since __migrate_task() will only be called on non-running task (and therefore are immume to the described problem) and normalize_task() isn't ever used on regular systems. Also remove the comments from activate/deactivate_task since they're misleading at best.
