From e9f7c2225ee3e1ce9317762393618c1c81a8febe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>
Date: Fri, 23 Oct 2020 12:12:07 +0200
Subject: [PATCH 010/323] sched: Add migrate_disable()
Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/5.10/older/patches-5.10.204-rt100.tar.xz

Add the base migrate_disable() support (under protest).

While migrate_disable() is (currently) required for PREEMPT_RT, it is
also one of the biggest flaws in the system.

Notably this is just the base implementation, it is broken vs
sched_setaffinity() and hotplug, both solved in additional patches for
ease of review.

+/*
+ * Migrate-Disable and why it is (strongly) undesired.
+ *
+ * The premise of the Real-Time schedulers we have on Linux
+ * (SCHED_FIFO/SCHED_DEADLINE) is that M CPUs can/will run M tasks
+ * concurrently, provided there are sufficient runnable tasks, also known as
+ * work-conserving. For instance SCHED_DEADLINE tries to schedule the M
+ * earliest deadline threads, and SCHED_FIFO the M highest priority threads.
+ *
+ * The correctness of various scheduling models depends on this, but is it
+ * broken by migrate_disable() that doesn't imply preempt_disable(). Where
+ * preempt_disable() implies an immediate priority ceiling, preemptible
+ * migrate_disable() allows nesting.
+ *
+ * The worst case is that all tasks preempt one another in a migrate_disable()
+ * region and stack on a single CPU. This then reduces the available bandwidth
+ * to a single CPU. And since Real-Time schedulability theory considers the
+ * Worst-Case only, all Real-Time analysis shall revert to single-CPU
+ * (instantly solving the SMP analysis problem).
+ *
+ *
+ * The reason we have it anyway.
+ *
+ * PREEMPT_RT breaks a number of assumptions traditionally held. By forcing a
+ * number of primitives into becoming preemptible, they would also allow
+ * migration. This turns out to break a bunch of per-cpu usage. To this end,
+ * all these primitives employ migirate_disable() to restore this implicit
+ * assumption.
+ *
+ * This is a 'temporary' work-around at best. The correct solution is getting
+ * rid of the above assumptions and reworking the code to employ explicit
+ * per-cpu locking or short preempt-disable regions.
+ *
+ * The end goal must be to get rid of migrate_disable(), alternatively we need
+ * a schedulability theory that does not depend on abritrary migration.
+ *
+ *
+ * Notes on the implementation.
+ *
+ * The implementation is particularly tricky since existing code patterns
+ * dictate neither migrate_disable() nor migrate_enable() is allowed to block.
+ * This means that it cannot use cpus_read_lock() to serialize against hotplug,
+ * nor can it easily migrate itself into a pending affinity mask change on
+ * migrate_enable().
+ *
+ *
+ * Note: even non-work-conserving schedulers like semi-partitioned depends on
+ *       migration, so migrate_disable() is not only a problem for
+ *       work-conserving schedulers.
