Subject: [PATCH] sched: Recheck the rt task's on rq state after double_lock_balance()
Date: Thu, 09 Oct 2025 00:23:55 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251009-recheck_rt_task_enqueue_state-v1-1-5f9c96d3c4fd@oss.qualcomm.com> (raw)
Recheck whether next_task is still in the runqueue of this_rq after
locking this_rq and lowest_rq via double_lock_balance() in
push_rt_task(). This is necessary because double_lock_balance() first
releases this_rq->lock and then attempts to acquire both this_rq->lock
and lowest_rq->lock, during which next_task may have already been
removed from this_rq's runqueue, leading to a double dequeue issue.
The double dequeue issue can occur in the following scenario:
1. Core0 call stack:
autoremove_wake_function
default_wake_function
try_to_wake_up
ttwu_do_activate
task_woken_rt
push_rt_task
move_queued_task_locked
dequeue_task
__wake_up
2. Execution flow on Core0, Core1 and Core2(Core0, Core1 and Core2 are
contending for Core1's rq->lock):
- Core1: enqueue next_task on Core1
- Core0: lock Core1's rq->lock
next_task = pick_next_pushable_task()
unlock Core1's rq->lock via double_lock_balance()
- Core1: lock Core1's rq->lock
next_task = pick_next_task()
unlock Core1's rq->lock
- Core2: lock Core1's rq->lock in migration thread
- Core1: running next_task
- Core2: unlock Core1's rq->lock
- Core1: lock Core1's rq->lock
switches out and dequeue next_task
unlock Core1's rq->lock
- Core0: relock Core1's rq->lock from double_lock_balance()
try to relock Core1's rq->lock from double_lock_balance()
but next_task has been dequeued from Core1, causing the issue
