Subject: [PATCH v19 7/8] sched: Fix proxy/current (push,pull)ability
Date: Sat, 12 Jul 2025 03:33:48 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250712033407.2383110-8-jstultz@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250712033407.2383110-1-jstultz@google.com>

From: Valentin Schneider <valentin.schneider@arm.com>

Proxy execution forms atomic pairs of tasks: The waiting donor
task (scheduling context) and a proxy (execution context). The
donor task, along with the rest of the blocked chain, follows
the proxy wrt CPU placement.

They can be the same task, in which case push/pull doesn't need any
modification. When they are different, however,
FIFO1 & FIFO42:

	      ,->  RT42
	      |     | blocked-on
	      |     v
blocked_donor |   mutex
	      |     | owner
	      |     v
	      `--  RT1

   RT1
   RT42

  CPU0            CPU1
   ^                ^
   |                |
  overloaded    !overloaded
  rq prio = 42  rq prio = 0

RT1 is eligible to be pushed to CPU1, but should that happen it will
"carry" RT42 along. Clearly here neither RT1 nor RT42 must be seen as
push/pullable.

Unfortunately, only the donor task is usually dequeued from the rq,
and the proxy'ed execution context (rq->curr) remains on the rq.
This can cause RT1 to be selected for migration from logic like the
rt pushable_list.

Thus, adda a dequeue/enqueue cycle on the proxy task before __schedule
returns, which allows the sched class logic to avoid adding the now
current task to the pushable_list.

Furthermore, tasks becoming blocked on a mutex don't need an explicit
dequeue/enqueue cycle to be made (push/pull)able: they have to be running
to block on a mutex, thus they will eventually hit put_prev_task().

v3:
* Tweaked comments & commit message
v5:
* Minor simplifications to utilize the fix earlier
  in the patch series.
* Rework the wording of the commit message to match selected/
  proxy terminology and expand a bit to make it more clear how
  it works.
v6:
* Dropped now-unused proxied value, to be re-added later in the
  series when it is used, as caught by Dietmar
v7:
* Unused function argument fixup
* Commit message nit pointed out by Metin Kaya
* Dropped unproven unlikely() and use sched_proxy_exec()
  in proxy_tag_curr, suggested by Metin Kaya
v8:
* More cleanups and typo fixes suggested by Metin Kaya
v11:
* Cleanup of comimt message suggested by Metin
v12:
* Rework for rq_selected -> rq->donor renaming
v16:
* Pulled logic from later patch in to avoid sched_balance
  migrating blocked tasks.
* Moved enqueue_task_rt() logic from earlier into this patch
  as suggested by K Prateek Nayak
* Simplified changes to enqueue_task_rt to match deadline's
  logic, as pointed out by Peter
v17:
* Add similar logic to put_prev_task_dl as pointed out by
  K Prateek Nayak
