Subject: [PATCH] sched: Fix race between yield_to() and try_to_wake_up()
Date: Tue, 31 Dec 2024 13:50:20 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20241231055020.6521-1-dtcccc@linux.alibaba.com> (raw)

We met a SCHED_WARN in set_next_buddy():
  __warn_printk
  set_next_buddy
  yield_to_task_fair
  yield_to
  kvm_vcpu_yield_to [kvm]
  ...

After a short dig, we found the rq_lock held by yield_to() may not
be exactly the rq that the target task belongs to. There is a race
window against try_to_wake_up().

         CPU0                             target_task

                                        blocking on CPU1
   lock rq0 & rq1
   double check task_rq == p_rq, ok
                                        woken to CPU2 (lock task_pi & rq2)
                                        task_rq = rq2
   yield_to_task_fair (w/o lock rq2)

In this race window, yield_to() is operating the task w/o the currect
lock. Fix this by taking task pi_lock first.

Fixes: d95f41220065 ("sched: Add yield_to(task, preempt) functionality")
