From: Vincent Guittot <vincent.guittot@linaro.org> commit 02da26ad5ed6ea8680e5d01f20661439611ed776 upstream. During the update of fair blocked load (__update_blocked_fair()), we update the contribution of the cfs in tg->load_avg if cfs_rq's pelt has decayed. Nevertheless, the pelt values of a cfs_rq could have been recently updated while propagating the change of a child. In this case, cfs_rq's pelt will not decayed because it has already been updated and we don't update tg->load_avg. __update_blocked_fair ... for_each_leaf_cfs_rq_safe: child cfs_rq update cfs_rq_load_avg() for child cfs_rq ... update_load_avg(cfs_rq_of(se), se, 0) ... update cfs_rq_load_avg() for parent cfs_rq -propagation of child's load makes parent cfs_rq->load_sum becoming null -UPDATE_TG is not set so it doesn't update parent cfs_rq->tg_load_avg_contrib .. for_each_leaf_cfs_rq_safe: parent cfs_rq update cfs_rq_load_avg() for parent cfs_rq - nothing to do because parent cfs_rq has already been updated recently so cfs_rq->tg_load_avg_contrib is not updated ... parent cfs_rq is decayed list_del_leaf_cfs_rq parent cfs_rq - but it still contibutes to tg->load_avg we must set UPDATE_TG flags when propagting pending load to the parent Fixes: 039ae8bcf7a5 ("sched/fair: Fix O(nr_cgroups) in the load balancing path") Reported-by: Odin Ugedal <odin@uged.al> Signed-off-by: Vincent Guittot <vincent.guittot@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Reviewed-by: Odin Ugedal <odin@uged.al> Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210527122916.27683-3-vincent.guittot@linaro.org Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Signed-off-by: Yang Yingliang <yangyingliang@huawei.com> --- kernel/sched/fair.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/kernel/sched/fair.c b/kernel/sched/fair.c index 85efad2ffeb5e..1114c9b8be866 100644 --- a/kernel/sched/fair.c +++ b/kernel/sched/fair.c @@ -7707,7 +7707,7 @@ static void update_blocked_averages(int cpu) /* Propagate pending load changes to the parent, if any: */ se = cfs_rq->tg->se[cpu]; if (se && !skip_blocked_update(se)) - update_load_avg(cfs_rq_of(se), se, 0); + update_load_avg(cfs_rq_of(se), se, UPDATE_TG); /* * There can be a lot of idle CPU cgroups.
