[PATCH v5 18/19] sched: Handle blocked-waiter migration (and return migration)

From: John Stultz
Date: Sat Aug 19 2023 - 02:11:13 EST


Add logic to handle migrating a blocked waiter to a remote
cpu where the lock owner is runnable.

Additionally, as the blocked task may not be able to run
on the remote cpu, add logic to handle return migration once
the waiting task is given the mutex.

Because tasks may get migrated to where they cannot run,
this patch also modifies the scheduling classes to avoid
sched class migrations on mutex blocked tasks, leaving
proxy() to do the migrations and return migrations.

This was split out from the larger proxy patch, and
significantly reworked to avoid changes to the try_to_wakeup()
call path.

Juri Lelli <juri.lelli@xxxxxxxxxx>
Valentin Schneider <valentin.schneider@xxxxxxx>
Connor O'Brien <connoro@xxxxxxxxxx>

NOTE: The return migration is further complicated in that we
need to take the pi_lock in order to decide which cpu we should
migrate back to. This requires dropping the current rq lock,
grabbing the pi_lock re-taking the current rq lock, picking a
cpu, deactivating the task, switching its cpu, dropping the
current rq lock, grabbing the target rq, activating the task
and then dropping the target rq and reaquiring the current
rq. This seems overly complex, so suggestions for a better
approach would be welcome!
