When the user moves a running task to a new rdtgroup using the task's
file interface or by deleting its rdtgroup, the resulting change in
CLOSID/RMID must be immediately propagated to the PQR_ASSOC MSR on the
task(s) CPUs.
x86 allows reordering loads with prior stores, so if the task starts
running between a task_curr() check that the CPU hoisted before the
stores in the CLOSID/RMID update then it can start running with the old
CLOSID/RMID until it is switched again because __rdtgroup_move_task()
failed to determine that it needs to be interrupted to obtain the new
CLOSID/RMID.
Refer to the diagram below:
CPU 0 CPU 1
----- -----
__rdtgroup_move_task():
curr <- t1->cpu->rq->curr
__schedule():
rq->curr <- t1
resctrl_sched_in():
t1->{closid,rmid} -> {1,1}
t1->{closid,rmid} <- {2,2}
if (curr == t1) // false
IPI(t1->cpu)
A similar race impacts rdt_move_group_tasks(), which updates tasks in a
deleted rdtgroup.
In both cases, use smp_mb() to order the task_struct::{closid,rmid}
stores before the loads in task_curr(). In particular, in the
rdt_move_group_tasks() case, simply execute an smp_mb() on every
iteration with a matching task.
It is possible to use a single smp_mb() in rdt_move_group_tasks(), but
this would require two passes and a means of remembering which
task_structs were updated in the first loop. However, benchmarking
results below showed too little performance impact in the simple
approach to justify implementing the two-pass approach.
Times below were collected using `perf stat` to measure the time to
remove a group containing a 1600-task, parallel workload.
CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) Platinum P-8136 CPU @ 2.00GHz (112 threads)
# mkdir /sys/fs/resctrl/test
# echo $$ > /sys/fs/resctrl/test/tasks
# perf bench sched messaging -g 40 -l 100000
task-clock time ranges collected using:
# perf stat rmdir /sys/fs/resctrl/test
Baseline: 1.54 - 1.60 ms
smp_mb() every matching task: 1.57 - 1.67 ms
