[PATCH 25/30] sched_ext: Implement sched_ext_ops.cpu_acquire/release()

Tejun Heo
2023-01-28T00:20:06Z

From: David Vernet <dvernet@meta.com>

Scheduler classes are strictly ordered and when a higher priority class has
tasks to run, the lower priority ones lose access to the CPU. Being able to
monitor and act on these events are necessary for use cases includling
strict core-scheduling and latency management.

This patch adds two operations ops.cpu_acquire() and .cpu_release(). The
former is invoked when a CPU becomes available to the BPF scheduler and the
opposite for the latter. This patch also implements
scx_bpf_reenqueue_local() which can be called from .cpu_release() to trigger
requeueing of all tasks in the local dsq of the CPU so that the tasks can be
reassigned to other available CPUs.

scx_example_pair is updated to use .cpu_acquire/release() along with
%SCX_KICK_WAIT to make the pair scheduling guarantee strict even when a CPU
is preempted by a higher priority scheduler class.

scx_example_qmap is updated to use .cpu_acquire/release() to empty the local
dsq of a preempted CPU. A similar approach can be adopted by BPF schedulers
that want to have a tight control over latency.

v2: Add p->scx.kf_mask annotation to allow calling scx_bpf_reenqueue_local()
from ops.cpu_release() nested inside ops.init() and other sleepable
operations.

+ *
+ * SCX is the lowest priority sched_class, and could be preempted by them at

+ *
+ * This preempts the pair CPU, and waits until it has re-entered the scheduler
+ * before returning. This is necessary to ensure that the higher priority
+ * sched_class that preempted our scheduler does not schedule a task
+ * concurrently with our pair CPU.
+ *
+ * When the CPU is re-acquired in pair_cpu_acquire(), we unmark the preemption
+ * in the pair_ctx, and send another resched IPI to the pair CPU to re-enable
+ * pair scheduling.
