[PATCH v4 2/2] x86/resctrl: IPI all online CPUs for group updates

From: Peter Newman
Date: Tue Nov 29 2022 - 06:11:40 EST


Removing a CTRL_MON or MON group directory moves all tasks to the parent
group. The rmdir implementation therefore interrupts any running
tasks which were in the deleted group to update their CLOSID/RMID to
those of the parent.

The rmdir operation iterates over all tasks in the deleted group while
read-locking the tasklist_lock to ensure that no newly-created child
tasks remain in the deleted group. Calling task_call_func() to perform
the updates on every task in the deleted group, similar to the recent
fix in __rdtgroup_move_task(), would result in a much longer
tasklist_lock critical section.

To avoid this, stop attempting to construct a precise mask of CPUs
hosting the moved tasks in rdt_move_group_tasks(). Its callers instead
perform the PQR_ASSOC MSR update on all online CPUs to ensure all
affected tasks are notified.

To measure the impact of the rdt_move_group_tasks() implementation
options, the following command was run in an rdtgroup to produce a
1600-task workload:

# mkdir /sys/fs/resctrl/test
# echo $$ > /sys/fs/resctrl/test/tasks
# perf bench sched messaging -g 40 -l 100000

Results collected using:

# perf stat rmdir /sys/fs/resctrl/test

CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) Platinum P-8136 CPU @ 2.00GHz (112 threads)

Calling task_call_func() on all tasks in the deleted group increased
task-clock time from 1.54 to 2.35 ms, while the IPI broadcast reduced
the time to 1.31 ms.

Restructuring resctrl groups is assumed to be a rare act of system-level
reconfiguration by the user, so the impact of additional IPIs resulting
from this change to a CPU-isolated workload is not a concern.
