Subject: [PATCH] sched_ext/scx_flatcg: Fix cvtime true-up on slice expiry
Date: Sat, 15 Aug 2026 12:59:05 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260815045905.3431991-1-cui.tao@linux.dev> (raw)

From: Tao Cui <cuitao@kylinos.cn>

fcg_dispatch() true-ups the current cgroup's cvtime when its slice
expires or its DSQ runs empty while the slice is still active:

	__sync_fetch_and_add(&cgc->cvtime_delta,
			     (cpuc->cur_at + cgrp_slice_ns - now) *
			     FCG_HWEIGHT_ONE / (cgc->hweight ?: 1));

The true-up should be actual minus charged: on CNS_EXPIRE, the overrun
(now - cur_at - cgrp_slice_ns) should be added; on CNS_EMPTY, the
unused portion of the slice should be subtracted. The expression above
has the sign inverted, and in the CNS_EXPIRE case now is already past
cur_at + cgrp_slice_ns, so the u64 subtraction wraps. The
multiplication preserves the two's complement encoding but the
unsigned division by hweight destroys it, adding roughly 2^64/hweight
per expiry instead of a small correction.

Under saturation the hweight budget clamp in cgrp_cap_budget() masks
most of the garbage, so the weight distribution barely moves, but the
accounting is broken all the same. Compute the delta as a signed value
and use fetch_and_add()/fetch_and_sub() so that the dividends stay
positive, as BPF division is unsigned.

Instrumented the true-up and ran a saturated three-leaf cgroup tree on
a 4-CPU VM: without the fix, each expiry added ~5e15 (2^64/hweight
territory) to cvtime_delta; with it, the corrections are back to
slice scale, with the overrun added and the unused portion subtracted.
