commit af98d8a
CPU controller limits are not properly enforced during CPU hotplug
operations, particularly during CPU offline. When a CPU goes offline,
throttled processes are unintentionally being unthrottled across all CPUs
in the system, allowing them to exceed their assigned quota limits.
Consider below for an example,
Assigning 6.25% bandwidth limit to a cgroup
in a 8 CPU system, where, workload is running 8 threads for 20 seconds at
100% CPU utilization, expected (user+sys) time = 10 seconds.
$ cat /sys/fs/cgroup/test/cpu.max
50000 100000
$ ./ebizzy -t 8 -S 20 // non-hotplug case
real 20.00 s
user 10.81 s // intended behaviour
sys 0.00 s
$ ./ebizzy -t 8 -S 20 // hotplug case
real 20.00 s
user 14.43 s // Workload is able to run for 14 secs
sys 0.00 s // when it should have only run for 10 secs
During CPU hotplug, scheduler domains are rebuilt and cpu_attach_domain
is called for every active CPU to update the root domain. That ends up
calling rq_offline_fair which un-throttles any throttled hierarchies.
Unthrottling should only occur for the CPU being hotplugged to allow its
throttled processes to become runnable and get migrated to other CPUs.
With current patch applied,
$ ./ebizzy -t 8 -S 20 // hotplug case
real 21.00 s
user 10.16 s // intended behaviour
sys 0.00 s
This also has another symptom, when a CPU goes offline, and if the cfs_rq
is not in throttled state and the runtime_remaining still had plenty
remaining, it gets reset to 1 here, causing the runtime_remaining of
cfs_rq to be quickly depleted.
Note: hotplug operation (online, offline) was performed in while(1) loop
