[PATCH] sched/core: Fix wrong warning check in rq_clock_start_loop_update()

From: Hao Jia
Date: Wed Sep 13 2023 - 04:24:46 EST


Igor Raits and Bagas Sanjaya report a RQCF_ACT_SKIP leak warning.
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/a5dd536d-041a-2ce9-f4b7-64d8d85c86dc@xxxxxxxxx

Commit ebb83d84e49b54 ("sched/core: Avoid multiple
calling update_rq_clock() in __cfsb_csd_unthrottle()")
add RQCF_ACT_SKIP leak warning in rq_clock_start_loop_update().
But this warning is inaccurate and may be triggered
incorrectly in the following situations:

CPU0 CPU1

__schedule()
*rq->clock_update_flags <<= 1;* unregister_fair_sched_group()
pick_next_task_fair+0x4a/0x410 destroy_cfs_bandwidth()
newidle_balance+0x115/0x3e0 for_each_possible_cpu(i) *i=0*
rq_unpin_lock(this_rq, rf) __cfsb_csd_unthrottle()
raw_spin_rq_unlock(this_rq)
rq_lock(*CPU0_rq*, &rf)
rq_clock_start_loop_update()
rq->clock_update_flags & RQCF_ACT_SKIP <--

raw_spin_rq_lock(this_rq)

So we remove this wrong check. Add assert_clock_updated() to
check that rq clock has been updated before calling
rq_clock_start_loop_update(). And we cannot unconditionally set
rq->clock_update_flags to RQCF_ACT_SKIP in rq_clock_start_loop_update().
So we use the variable rq_clock_flags in rq_clock_start_loop_update()
to record the previous state of rq->clock_update_flags.
Correspondingly, restore rq->clock_update_flags through
rq_clock_flags in rq_clock_stop_loop_update() to prevent
losing its previous information.
