sched: prioritize non-migratable tasks over migratable ones
Dmitry Adamushko pointed out a known flaw in the rt-balancing algorithm
that could allow suboptimal balancing if a non-migratable task gets
queued behind a running migratable one. It is discussed in this thread:
>From a pure priority standpoint, the run-queue is doing the "right"
thing. Using Dmitry's nomenclature, if T0 is on cpu1 first, and T1
wakes up at equal or lower priority (affined only to cpu1) later, it
*should* wait for T0 to finish. However, in reality that is likely
suboptimal from a system perspective if there are other cores that
could allow T0 and T1 to run concurrently. Since T1 can not migrate,
the only choice for higher concurrency is to try to move T0. This is
not something we addessed in the recent rt-balancing re-work.
This patch tries to enhance the balancing algorithm by accomodating this
scenario. It accomplishes this by incorporating the migratability of a
task into its priority calculation. Within a numerical tsk->prio, a
non-migratable task is logically higher than a migratable one. We
maintain this by introducing a new per-priority queue (xqueue, or
exclusive-queue) for holding non-migratable tasks. The scheduler will
draw from the xqueue over the standard shared-queue (squeue) when
available.
There are several details for utilizing this properly.
1) During task-wake-up, we not only need to check if the priority
preempts the current task, but we also need to check for this
non-migratable condition. Therefore, if a non-migratable task wakes
up and sees an equal priority migratable task already running, it
will attempt to preempt it *if* there is a likelyhood that the
current task will find an immediate home.
2) Tasks only get this non-migratable "priority boost" on wake-up. Any
requeuing will result in the non-migratable task being queued to the
end of the shared queue. This is an attempt to prevent the system
from being completely unfair to migratable tasks during things like
SCHED_RR timeslicing.
I am sure this patch introduces potentially "odd" behavior if you
concoct a scenario where a bunch of non-migratable threads could starve
migratable ones given the right pattern. I am not yet convinced that
this is a problem since we are talking about tasks of equal RT priority
anyway, and there never is much in the way of guarantees against
starvation under that scenario anyway. (e.g. you could come up with a
similar scenario with a specific timing environment verses an affinity
environment). I can be convinced otherwise, but for now I think this is
"ok".

- Don't trust a length which is greater than the working buffer.
An invalid length could cause overflow when calculating buffer size

- An oid length of zero is invalid and allows for an off-by-one error when
decoding oid because the first subid actually encodes first 2 subids.

the reason is another kconfig tool bug that has to be worked around in
the driver's Kconfig file: if FW_LOADER is selected in a second
dependency, that is not properly propagated up the dependencies.
in this case, FW_LOADER is selected from MEDIA_TUNER_XC2028:
config MEDIA_TUNER_XC2028
tristate "XCeive xc2028/xc3028 tuners"
depends on VIDEO_MEDIA && I2C
depends on HOTPLUG
select FW_LOADER
which got selected by MEDIA_TUNER:
config MEDIA_TUNER
tristate
default VIDEO_MEDIA && I2C
depends on VIDEO_MEDIA && I2C
select FW_LOADER if !MEDIA_TUNER_CUSTOMIZE && HOTPLUG
but the kconfig tool did not pick up this second-order dependency and
allowed CONFIG_FW_LOADER=m to be selected - in which case the build
fails.
the workaround i found was to move the select of FW_LOADER one level up,
so that the buggy kconfig tool can notice it and can act appropriately.
This problem can probably be worked around in other ways as well, i went
for the minimal fix.
Obviously, the kconfig tool should be fixed, it is not reasonable to
expect driver authors to do manual dependency resolution (that kconfig
itself already does) and uglify the Kconfig files. The kconfig tool did
nothing to warn about this situation and did not prevent this faulty
.config from being constructed.
But there was no warning in Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt
and I'm receiving reports that it's breaking userspace apps (the
gstreamer-v4l2 plugin breaks in Fedora rawhide). You can't just pull
things from the published userspace API like that.
Please can we revert the addition of _DEPRECATED to these ioctl
definitions. Perhaps we can add a runtime warning if they actually get
used? Or a compile-time warning if we can manage that?

The pppol2tp driver uses private data that is referenced via the

tcp: fix skb vs fack_count out-of-sync condition
This bug is able to corrupt fackets_out in very rare cases.
In order for this to cause corruption:
1) DSACK in the middle of previous SACK block must be generated.
2) In order to take that particular branch, part or all of the
DSACKed segment must already be SACKed so that we have that
in cache in the first place.
3) The new info must be top enough so that fackets_out will be
updated on this iteration.
...then fack_count is updated while skb wasn't, then we walk again
that particular segment thus updating fack_count twice for
a single skb and finally that value is assigned to fackets_out
by tcp_sacktag_one.
It is safe to call tcp_sacktag_one just once for a segment (at
DSACK), no need to call again for plain SACK.
Potential problem of the miscount are limited to premature entry
to recovery and to inflated reordering metric (which could even
cancel each other out in the most the luckiest scenarios :-)).
Both are quite insignificant in worst case too and there exists
also code to reset them (fackets_out once sacked_out becomes zero
and reordering metric on RTO).
This has been reported by a number of people, because it occurred
quite rarely, it has been very evasive. Andy Furniss was able to
get it to occur couple of times so that a bit more info was
collected about the problem using a debug patch, though it still
required lot of checking around. Thanks also to others who have
tried to help here.
This is listed as Bugzilla #10346. The bug was introduced by
me in commit 68f8353b48 ([TCP]: Rewrite SACK block processing &
sack_recv_cache use), I probably thought back then that there's
need to scan that entry twice or didn't dare to make it go
through it just once there. Going through twice would have
required restoring fack_count after the walk but as noted above,
I chose to drop the additional walk step altogether here.
