sched/deadline: Unthrottle PI boosted threads while enqueuing
stress-ng has a test (stress-ng --cyclic) that creates a set of threads under SCHED_DEADLINE with the following parameters: dl_runtime = 10000 (10 us) dl_deadline = 100000 (100 us) dl_period = 100000 (100 us) These parameters are very aggressive. When using a system without HRTICK set, these threads can easily execute longer than the dl_runtime because the throttling happens with 1/HZ resolution. During the main part of the test, the system works just fine because the workload does not try to run over the 10 us. The problem happens at the end of the test, on the exit() path. During exit(), the threads need to do some cleanups that require real-time mutex locks, mainly those related to memory management, resulting in this scenario: Note: locks are rt_mutexes... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ TASK A: TASK B: TASK C: activation activation activation lock(a): OK! lock(b): OK! <overrun runtime> lock(a) -> block (task A owns it) -> self notice/set throttled +--< -> arm replenished timer | switch-out | lock(b) | -> <C prio > B prio> | -> boost TASK B | unlock(a) switch-out | -> handle lock a to B | -> wakeup(B) | -> B is throttled: | -> do not enqueue | switch-out | | +---------------------> replenishment timer -> TASK B is boosted: -> do not enqueue ------------------------------------------------------------------------ BOOM: TASK B is runnable but !enqueued, holding TASK C: the system crashes with hung task C. This problem is avoided by removing the throttle state from the boosted thread while boosting it (by TASK A in the example above), allowing it to be queued and run boosted. The next replenishment will take care of the runtime overrun, pushing the deadline further away. See the "while (dl_se->runtime <= 0)" on replenish_dl_entity() for more information.
