Subject: [PATCH v2] xen: sched: fix (ACPI S3) resume with cpupools with different schedulers.
Date: Fri, 13 Nov 2015 18:10:06 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20151113171006.15775.61105.stgit@Solace.station> (raw)

In fact, with 2 cpupools, one (the default) Credit and
one Credit2 (with at least 1 pCPU in the latter), trying
a (e.g., ACPI S3) suspend/resume crashes like this:

(XEN) [  151.282915] Xen BUG at sched_credit.c:655
(XEN) [  151.287415] ****************************************

During suspend, the pCPUs are not removed from their
pools with the standard procedure (which would involve
schedule_cpu_switch(). During resume, they:
 1) are assigned to the default cpupool (CPU_UP_PREPARE
    phase);
 2) are moved to the pool they were in before suspend,
    via schedule_cpu_switch() (CPU_ONLINE phase)

During resume, scheduling (even if just the idle loop)
can happen right after the CPU_STARTING phase(before
CPU_ONLINE), i.e., before the pCPU is put back in its
pool. In this case, it is the default pool'sscheduler
that is invoked (Credit1, in the example above). But,
during suspend, the Credit2 specific vCPU data is not
being freed, and Credit1 specific vCPU data is not
allocated, during resume.

Therefore, Credit1 schedules on pCPUs whose idle vCPU's
sched_priv points to Credit2 vCPU data, and we crash.

Fix things by properly deallocating scheduler specific
data of the pCPU's pool scheduler during pCPU teardown,
and re-allocating them --always for &ops-- during pCPU
bringup.

This also fixes another (latent) bug. In fact, it avoids,
still in schedule_cpu_switch(), that Credit1's free_vdata()
is used to deallocate data allocated with Credit2's
alloc_vdata(). This is not easy to trigger, but only
because the other bug shown above manifests first and
crashes the host.

The downside of this patch, is that it adds one more
allocation on the resume path, which is not ideal. Still,
there is no better way of fixing the described bugs at
the moment. Removing (all ideally) allocations happening
during resume should continue being chased, in the long
run.

Changes from v1:
 * reversed the deallocation order in cpu_schedule_down(), so that
   allocations and deallocations actually happen in reverse ordering;
 * moved the allocation of the private data in the else branch of
   the case where the whole idle vcpu is allocated, and added
   an ASSERT() about such data being actually not allocated in
   that case;
 * improved both in code comment and the changelog.
