[PATCH 0/2] cpufreq: governor: Fixups on top of recent changes

[PATCH 0/2] cpufreq: governor: Fixups on top of recent changes

[Rafael J. Wysocki]

Hi,

Two fixups on top of recent cpufreq governor changes in the linux-next
branch of linux-pm.git.

[1/2] closes a tiny theoretical race in dbs_update_util_handler()
      that may lead to taking a sample prematurely in some weird
      cases.

[2/2] removes an unnecessary function export.

Thanks,
Rafael

[PATCH 1/2] cpufreq: governor: Fix race in dbs_update_util_handler()

[Rafael J. Wysocki]

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>

There is a scenarion that may lead to undesired results in
dbs_update_util_handler().  Namely, if two CPUs sharing a policy
enter the funtion at the same time, pass the sample delay check
and then one of them is stalled until dbs_work_handler() (queued
up by the other CPU) clears the work counter, it may update the
work counter and queue up another work item prematurely.

To prevent that from happening, use the observation that the CPU
queuing up a work item in dbs_update_util_handler() updates the
last sample time.  This means that if another CPU was stalling after
passing the sample delay check and now successfully updated the work
counter as a result of the race described above, it will see the new
value of the last sample time which is different from what it used in
the sample delay check before.  If that happens, the sample delay
check passed previously is not valid any more, so the CPU should not
continue, but leaving the funtion at that point might miss an
opportunity to take the next sample, so simply clear the work
counter and jump to the beginning of the function in that case.

The comment on the top of ACCESS_ONCE() asks us to use READ_ONCE() if possible.

I think we should be doing this here:

	delta_ns = time - ACCESS_ONCE(policy_dbs->last_sample_time);
 	if ((s64)delta_ns < policy_dbs->sample_delay_ns) {
                atomic_set(&policy_dbs->work_count, 0);
 		return;
        }

There is no point running the routine again, we already have ->work_count
incremented for us, lets do the check right now.

Over that, in theory, with your code, it is possible that one of the CPU can get
stuck in the goto->start loop indefinitely :)

No, we need to check work_in_progress too.

Good point (although that's not very likely to happen in practice).

There's one more problem, however.  The value of time is already stale
at this point, so going to start and keeping the time value unmodified
is a mistake.

Let me respin the patch.

Thanks,

Then maybe move first half of this routine into a separate function
and call it from the beginning and here ?

That won't help.   The time value is still going to be stale.

[PATCH v2 1/2] cpufreq: governor: Fix race in dbs_update_util_handler()

[Rafael J. Wysocki]

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>

There is a scenario that may lead to undesired results in
dbs_update_util_handler().  Namely, if two CPUs sharing a policy
enter the funtion at the same time, pass the sample delay check
and then one of them is stalled until dbs_work_handler() (queued
up by the other CPU) clears the work counter, it may update the
work counter and queue up another work item prematurely.

To prevent that from happening, use the observation that the CPU
queuing up a work item in dbs_update_util_handler() updates the
last sample time.  This means that if another CPU was stalling after
passing the sample delay check and now successfully updated the work
counter as a result of the race described above, it will see the new
value of the last sample time which is different from what it used in
the sample delay check before.  If that happens, the sample delay
check passed previously is not valid any more, so the CPU should not
continue.

Changes from v1:
- Typo in the changelog fixed.
- READ_ONCE() used instead of ACCESS_ONCE().
- If the race is detected, return instead of looping.

[PATCH 2/2] cpufreq: governor: Make gov_set_update_util() static

[Rafael J. Wysocki]

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>

The gov_set_update_util() routine is only used internally by the
common governor code and it doesn't need to be exported, so make
it static.

No functional changes.
