cd8e62c858 sched: deadline: Add dl_rq->curr pointer to address issues with Proxy Exec
The DL scheduler keeps the current task in the rbtree, since
the deadline value isn't usually chagned while the task is
runnable.

This results in set_next_task() and put_prev_task() being
simpler, but unfortunately this causes complexity elsewhere.

Specifically when update_curr_dl() updates the deadline, it has
to dequeue and then enqueue the task.

From put_prev_task_dl(), we first call update_curr_dl(), and
then call enqueue_pushable_dl_task().

However, with Proxy Exec this goes awry. Since when a mutex is
released, we might wake the waiting rq->donor. This will cause
put_prev_task() to be called on the donor to take it off the
cpu for return migration.

At that point, from put_prev_task_dl() the update_curr_dl()
logic will dequeue & enqueue the task, and the enqueue function
will call enqueue_pushable_dl_task() (since the task_current()
check won't prevent it). Then back up the callstack in
put_prev_task_dl() we'll end up calling
enqueue_pushable_dl_task() again, tripping the
!RB_EMPTY_NODE(&p->pushable_dl_tasks) warning.

So to avoid this, use Peter's suggested[1] approach, and add a
dl_rq->curr pointer that is set/cleared from set_next_task()/
put_prev_task(), which effectively tracks the rq->donor. We can
then use this to avoid adding the active donor to the pushable
list from enqueue_task_dl().

96a6988fb5 sched: deadline: Add some helper variables to cleanup deadline logic
As part of an improvement to handling pushable deadline tasks,
Peter suggested this cleanup[1], to use helper values for
dl_entity and dl_rq in the enqueue_task_dl() and
put_prev_task_dl() functions. There should be no functional
change from this patch.

To make sure this cleanup change doesn't obscure later logic
changes, I've split it into its own patch.

7a3a6bfbd6 sched: Rework prev_balance() to avoid stale prev references
Historically, the prev value from __schedule() was the rq->curr.
This prev value is passed down through numerous functions, and
used in the class scheduler implementations. The fact that
prev was on_cpu until the end of __schedule(), meant it was
stable across the rq lock drops that the class->balance()
implementations often do.

However, with proxy-exec, the prev passed to functions called
by __schedule() is rq->donor, which may not be the same as
rq->curr and may not be on_cpu, this makes the prev value
potentially unstable across rq lock drops.

A recently found issue with proxy-exec, is when we begin doing
return migration from try_to_wake_up(), its possible we may be
waking up the rq->donor.  When we do this, we proxy_resched_idle()
to put_prev_set_next() setting the rq->donor to rq->idle, allowing
the rq->donor to be return migrated and allowed to run.

This however runs into trouble, as on another cpu we might be in
the middle of calling __schedule(). Conceptually the rq lock is
held for the majority of the time, but in calling prev_balance()
its possible the class->balance() handler call may briefly drop the rq lock.
This opens a window for try_to_wake_up() to wake and return migrate the
rq->donor before the class logic reacquires the rq lock.

Unfortunately prev_balance() pass in a prev argument, to which we pass
rq->donor. However this prev value can now become stale and incorrect across a
rq lock drop.

So, to correct this, rework the prev_balance() call so that it does not take a
"prev" argument.

e7b63427fd sched_ext: Auto-register/unregister dl_server reservations
Commit cd959a3562 ("sched_ext: Add a DL server for sched_ext tasks")
introduced an ext_server deadline server to protect sched_ext tasks from
fair/RT starvation, mirroring the existing fair_server.

Currently, both servers reserve their 50ms/1000ms bandwidth at boot,
regardless of whether a BPF scheduler is loaded. Unused bandwidth is
still reclaimed at runtime by other classes, but the static reservation
prevents the RT class from implicitly using that headroom when one of
the two classes is guaranteed to be empty.

A sysadmin can work around this by writing
/sys/kernel/debug/sched/{fair,ext}_server/cpu*/runtime, but that
requires manual action and not all systems expose debugfs.

A better approach is to make server bandwidth reservations dynamic: only
the scheduling policy that is currently active should register its
reservation, while the inactive one should not artificially hold
capacity (keeping both reservations only when the BPF scheduler is
running in partial mode):

 +---------------------------------------------+-------------+------------+
 | BPF scheduler state                         | fair server | ext server |
 +---------------------------------------------+-------------+------------+
 | not loaded (default boot)                   | reserved    | none       |
 | loaded full mode (!SCX_OPS_SWITCH_PARTIAL)  | none        | reserved   |
 | loaded partial mode (SCX_OPS_SWITCH_PARTIAL)| reserved    | reserved   |
 +---------------------------------------------+-------------+------------+

To achieve this, introduce an "attached/detached" state for each
deadline server, so the kernel can decide whether a server's bandwidth
should be accounted in global bandwidth tracking.

At boot, the system starts with only the fair server contributing to
bandwidth accounting. When a BPF scheduler is enabled, the ext server is
attached and may replace or complement the fair server depending on
whether full or partial mode is used. When sched_ext is disabled, the
system restores the previous deadline bandwidth values and behavior.

The transition logic ensures that switching between scheduling modes is
consistent and reversible, without losing runtime configuration or
requiring manual intervention.

5dd74441cb cgroup/cpuset: Reserve DL bandwidth only for root-domain moves
cpuset_can_attach() currently adds the bandwidth of all migrating
SCHED_DEADLINE tasks to sum_migrate_dl_bw. If the source and destination
cpuset effective CPU masks do not overlap, the whole sum is then
reserved in the destination root domain.

set_cpus_allowed_dl(), however, subtracts bandwidth from the source
root domain only when the affinity change really moves the task between
root domains. A DL task can move between cpusets that are still in the
same root domain, so including that task in sum_migrate_dl_bw can reserve
destination bandwidth without a matching source-side subtraction.

Share the root-domain move test with set_cpus_allowed_dl(). Keep
nr_migrate_dl_tasks counting all migrating deadline tasks for cpuset DL
task accounting, but add to sum_migrate_dl_bw only for tasks that need a
root-domain bandwidth move. Keep using the destination cpuset effective
CPU mask and leave the broader can_attach()/attach() transaction model
unchanged.

fdbfee9fc5 Runtime Verification updates for 7.1:
- Refactor da_monitor header to share handlers across monitor types
 
   No functional changes, only less code duplication.
 
 - Add Hybrid Automata model class
 
   Add a new model class that extends deterministic automata by adding
   constraints on transitions and states. Those constraints can take into
   account wall-clock time and as such allow RV monitor to make
   assertions on real time. Add documentation and code generation
   scripts.
 
 - Add stall monitor as hybrid automaton example
 
   Add a monitor that triggers a violation when a task is stalling as an
   example of automaton working with real time variables.
 
 - Convert the opid monitor to a hybrid automaton
 
   The opid monitor can be heavily simplified if written as a hybrid
   automaton: instead of tracking preempt and interrupt enable/disable
   events, it can just run constraints on the preemption/interrupt
   states when events like wakeup and need_resched verify.
 
 - Add support for per-object monitors in DA/HA
 
   Allow writing deterministic and hybrid automata monitors for generic
   objects (e.g. any struct), by exploiting a hash table where objects
   are saved. This allows to track more than just tasks in RV. For
   instance it will be used to track deadline entities in deadline
   monitors.
 
 - Add deadline tracepoints and move some deadline utilities
 
   Prepare the ground for deadline monitors by defining events and
   exporting helpers.
 
 - Add nomiss deadline monitor
 
   Add first example of deadline monitor asserting all entities complete
   before their deadline.
 
 - Improve rvgen error handling
 
   Introduce AutomataError exception class and better handle expected
   exceptions while showing a backtrace for unexpected ones.
 
 - Improve python code quality in rvgen
 
   Refactor the rvgen generation scripts to align with python best
   practices: use f-strings instead of %, use len() instead of __len__(),
   remove semicolons, use context managers for file operations, fix
   whitespace violations, extract magic strings into constants, remove
   unused imports and methods.
 
 - Fix small bugs in rvgen
 
   The generator scripts presented some corner case bugs: logical error in
   validating what a correct dot file looks like, fix an isinstance()
   check, enforce a dot file has an initial state, fix type annotations
   and typos in comments.
 
 - rvgen refactoring
 
   Refactor automata.py to use iterator-based parsing and handle required
   arguments directly in argparse.
 
 - Allow epoll in rtapp-sleep monitor
 
   The epoll_wait call is now rt-friendly so it should be allowed in the
   sleep monitor as a valid sleep method.

c1fe867b5b Updates for the timer/timekeeping core:
- A rework of the hrtimer subsystem to reduce the overhead for frequently
     armed timers, especially the hrtick scheduler timer.
 
       - Better timer locality decision
 
       - Simplification of the evaluation of the first expiry time by
         keeping track of the neighbor timers in the RB-tree by providing a
         RB-tree variant with neighbor links. That avoids walking the
         RB-tree on removal to find the next expiry time, but even more
         important allows to quickly evaluate whether a timer which is
         rearmed changes the position in the RB-tree with the modified
         expiry time or not. If not, the dequeue/enqueue sequence which both
         can end up in rebalancing can be completely avoided.
 
       - Deferred reprogramming of the underlying clock event device. This
         optimizes for the situation where a hrtimer callback sets the need
         resched bit. In that case the code attempts to defer the
         re-programming of the clock event device up to the point where the
         scheduler has picked the next task and has the next hrtick timer
         armed. In case that there is no immediate reschedule or soft
         interrupts have to be handled before reaching the reschedule point
         in the interrupt entry code the clock event is reprogrammed in one
         of those code paths to prevent that the timer becomes stale.
 
       - Support for clocksource coupled clockevents
 
       	The TSC deadline timer is coupled to the TSC. The next event is
       	programmed in TSC time. Currently this is done by converting the
       	CLOCK_MONOTONIC based expiry value into a relative timeout,
       	converting it into TSC ticks, reading the TSC adding the delta
       	ticks and writing the deadline MSR.
 
 	As the timekeeping core has the conversion factors for the TSC
 	already, the whole back and forth conversion can be completely
 	avoided. The timekeeping core calculates the reverse conversion
 	factors from nanoseconds to TSC ticks and utilizes the base
 	timestamps of TSC and CLOCK_MONOTONIC which are updated once per
 	tick. This allows a direct conversion into the TSC deadline value
 	without reading the time and as a bonus keeps the deadline
 	conversion in sync with the TSC conversion factors, which are
 	updated by adjtimex() on systems with NTP/PTP enabled.
 
      - Allow inlining of the clocksource read and clockevent write
        functions when they are tiny enough, e.g. on x86 RDTSC and WRMSR.
 
     With all those enhancements in place a hrtick enabled scheduler
     provides the same performance as without hrtick. But also other hrtimer
     users obviously benefit from these optimizations.
 
   - Robustness improvements and cleanups of historical sins in the hrtimer
     and timekeeping code.
 
   - Rewrite of the clocksource watchdog.
 
     The clocksource watchdog code has over time reached the state of an
     impenetrable maze of duct tape and staples. The original design, which was
     made in the context of systems far smaller than today, is based on the
     assumption that the to be monitored clocksource (TSC) can be trivially
     compared against a known to be stable clocksource (HPET/ACPI-PM timer).
 
     Over the years this rather naive approach turned out to have major
     flaws. Long delays between the watchdog invocations can cause wrap
     arounds of the reference clocksource. The access to the reference
     clocksource degrades on large multi-sockets systems dure to
     interconnect congestion. This has been addressed with various
     heuristics which degraded the accuracy of the watchdog to the point
     that it fails to detect actual TSC problems on older hardware which
     exposes slow inter CPU drifts due to firmware manipulating the TSC to
     hide SMI time.
 
     The rewrite addresses this by:
 
       - Restricting the validation against the reference clocksource to the
         boot CPU which is usually closest to the legacy block which
         contains the reference clocksource (HPET/ACPI-PM).
 
       - Do a round robin validation betwen the boot CPU and the other CPUs
         based only on the TSC with an algorithm similar to the TSC
         synchronization code during CPU hotplug.
 
       - Being more leniant versus remote timeouts
 
   - The usual tiny fixes, cleanups and enhancements all over the place

14a8570564 sched/deadline: Use revised wakeup rule for dl_server
John noted that commit 1151354225 ("sched/deadline: Fix 'stuck' dl_server")
unfixed the issue from commit a3a70caf79 ("sched/deadline: Fix dl_server
behaviour").

The issue in commit 1151354225 was for wakeups of the server after the
deadline; in which case you *have* to start a new period. The case for
a3a70caf79 is wakeups before the deadline.

Now, because the server is effectively running a least-laxity policy, it means
that any wakeup during the runnable phase means dl_entity_overflow() will be
true. This means we need to adjust the runtime to allow it to still run until
the existing deadline expires.

Use the revised wakeup rule for dl_defer entities.

e0ca8991b2 sched: Make class_schedulers avoid pushing current, and get rid of proxy_tag_curr()
With proxy-execution, the scheduler selects the donor, but for
blocked donors, we end up running the lock owner.

This caused some complexity, because the class schedulers make
sure to remove the task they pick from their pushable task
lists, which prevents the donor from being migrated, but there
wasn't then anything to prevent rq->curr from being migrated
if rq->curr != rq->donor.

This was sort of hacked around by calling proxy_tag_curr() on
the rq->curr task if we were running something other then the
donor. proxy_tag_curr() did a dequeue/enqueue pair on the
rq->curr task, allowing the class schedulers to remove it from
their pushable list.

The dequeue/enqueue pair was wasteful, and additonally K Prateek
highlighted that we didn't properly undo things when we stopped
proxying, leaving the lock owner off the pushable list.

After some alternative approaches were considered, Peter
suggested just having the RT/DL classes just avoid migrating
when task_on_cpu().

So rework pick_next_pushable_dl_task() and the rt
pick_next_pushable_task() functions so that they skip over the
first pushable task if it is on_cpu.

Then just drop all of the proxy_tag_curr() logic.

2e7af19269 sched/deadline: Add reporting of runtime left & abs deadline to sched_getattr() for DEADLINE tasks
The SCHED_DEADLINE scheduler allows reading the statically configured
run-time, deadline, and period parameters through the sched_getattr()
system call. However, there is no immediate way to access, from user space,
the current parameters used within the scheduler: the instantaneous runtime
left in the current cycle, as well as the current absolute deadline.

The `flags' sched_getattr() parameter, so far mandated to contain zero,
now supports the SCHED_GETATTR_FLAG_DL_DYNAMIC=1 flag, to request
retrieval of the leftover runtime and absolute deadline, converted to a
CLOCK_MONOTONIC reference, instead of the statically configured parameters.

This feature is useful for adaptive SCHED_DEADLINE tasks that need to
modify their behavior depending on whether or not there is enough runtime
left in the current period, and/or what is the current absolute deadline.

Notes:
- before returning the instantaneous parameters, the runtime is updated;
- the abs deadline is returned shifted from rq_clock() to ktime_get_ns(),
  in CLOCK_MONOTONIC reference; this causes multiple invocations from the
  same period to return values that may differ for a few ns (showing some
  small drift), albeit the deadline doesn't move, in rq_clock() reference;
- the abs deadline value returned to user-space, as unsigned 64-bit value,
  can represent nearly 585 years since boot time;
- setting flags=0 provides the old behavior (retrieve static parameters).

"Making user space aware of current deadline-scheduler parameters".

The specific output as follows:
$ cat /proc/6046/task/6046/sched | grep wait
wait_start                                   :             0.000000
wait_max                                     :        496717.080029
wait_sum                                     :       7921540.776553

A complete schedstats information update flow of migrate should be
__update_stats_wait_start() [enter queue A, stage 1] ->
__update_stats_wait_end()   [leave queue A, stage 2] ->
__update_stats_wait_start() [enter queue B, stage 3] ->
__update_stats_wait_end()   [start running on queue B, stage 4]

    Stage 1: prev_wait_start is 0, and in the end, wait_start records the
    time of entering the queue.
    Stage 2: task_on_rq_migrating(p) is true, and wait_start is updated to
    the waiting time on queue A.
    Stage 3: prev_wait_start is the waiting time on queue A, wait_start is
    the time of entering queue B, and wait_start is expected to be greater
    than prev_wait_start. Under this condition, wait_start is updated to
    (the moment of entering queue B) - (the waiting time on queue A).
    Stage 4: the final wait time = (time when starting to run on queue B)
    - (time of entering queue B) + (waiting time on queue A) = waiting
    time on queue B + waiting time on queue A.

The current problem is that stage 2 does not call __update_stats_wait_end
to update wait_start, which causes the final computed wait time = waiting
time on queue B + the moment of entering queue A, leading to incorrect
wait_max and wait_sum.

Add 'update_stats_wait_end_(rt/dl)' in 'update_stats_dequeue_(rt/dl)' to
update schedstats information when dequeue_task.

5a40a9bb56 sched/debug: Fix dl_server (re)start conditions
There are two problems with sched_server_write_common() that can cause the
dl_server to malfunction upon attempting to change the parameters:

1) when, after having disabled the dl_server by setting runtime=0, it is
   enabled again while tasks are already enqueued. In this case is_active would
   still be 0 and dl_server_start() would not be called.

2) when dl_server_apply_params() would fail, runtime is not applied and does
   not reflect the new state.

Instead have dl_server_start() check its actual dl_runtime, and have
sched_server_write_common() unconditionally (re)start the dl_server. It will
automatically stop if there isn't anything to do, so spurious activation is
harmless -- while failing to start it is a problem.

While there, move the printk out of the locked region and make it symmetric,
also printing on enable.

1151354225 sched/deadline: Fix 'stuck' dl_server
Andrea reported the dl_server getting stuck for him. He tracked it
down to a state where dl_server_start() saw dl_defer_running==1, but
the dl_server's job is no longer valid at the time of
dl_server_start().

In the state diagram this corresponds to [4] D->A (or dl_server_stop()
due to no more runnable tasks) followed by [1], which in case of a
lapsed deadline must then be A->B.

Now our A has dl_defer_running==1, while B demands
dl_defer_running==0, therefore it must get cleared when the CBS wakeup
rules demand a replenish.

627cc25f84 sched/deadline: Use ENQUEUE_MOVE to allow priority change
Pierre reported hitting balance callback warnings for deadline tasks
after commit 6455ad5346 ("sched: Move sched_class::prio_changed()
into the change pattern").

It turns out that DEQUEUE_SAVE+ENQUEUE_RESTORE does not preserve DL
priority and subsequently trips a balance pass -- where one was not
expected.

From discussion with Juri and Luca, the purpose of this clause was to
deal with tasks new to DL and all those sites will have MOVE set (as
well as CLASS, but MOVE is move conservative at this point).

Per the previous patches MOVE is audited to always run the balance
callbacks, so switch enqueue_dl_entity() to use MOVE for this case.

ca1e8eede4 sched/deadline: Fix server stopping with runnable tasks
The deadline server can currently stop due to idle although fair tasks
are runnable. This happens essentially when:

 * the server is set to idle, a task wakes up, the server stops
 * a task wakes up, the server sets itself to idle and stops right away

Address both cases by clearing the server idle flag whenever a fair task
wakes up and accounting also for pending tasks in the definition of idle.

64e6fa7661 sched/deadline: Fix potential race in dl_add_task_root_domain()
The access rule for local_cpu_mask_dl requires it to be called on the
local CPU with preemption disabled. However, dl_add_task_root_domain()
currently violates this rule.

Without preemption disabled, the following race can occur:

1. ThreadA calls dl_add_task_root_domain() on CPU 0
2. Gets pointer to CPU 0's local_cpu_mask_dl
3. ThreadA is preempted and migrated to CPU 1
4. ThreadA continues using CPU 0's local_cpu_mask_dl
5. Meanwhile, the scheduler on CPU 0 calls find_later_rq() which also
   uses local_cpu_mask_dl (with preemption properly disabled)
6. Both contexts now corrupt the same per-CPU buffer concurrently

Fix this by moving the local_cpu_mask_dl access to the preemption
disabled section.

318e18ed22 sched/deadline: Walk up cpuset hierarchy to decide root domain when hot-unplug
*** Bug description ***
When testing kexec-reboot on a 144 cpus machine with
isolcpus=managed_irq,domain,1-71,73-143 in kernel command line, I
encounter the following bug:

[   97.114759] psci: CPU142 killed (polled 0 ms)
[   97.333236] Failed to offline CPU143 - error=-16
[   97.333246] ------------[ cut here ]------------
[   97.342682] kernel BUG at kernel/cpu.c:1569!
[   97.347049] Internal error: Oops - BUG: 00000000f2000800 [#1] SMP
[...]

In essence, the issue originates from the CPU hot-removal process, not
limited to kexec. It can be reproduced by writing a SCHED_DEADLINE
program that waits indefinitely on a semaphore, spawning multiple
instances to ensure some run on CPU 72, and then offlining CPUs 1–143
one by one. When attempting this, CPU 143 failed to go offline.
  bash -c 'taskset -cp 0 $$ && for i in {1..143}; do echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu$i/online 2>/dev/null; done'

Tracking down this issue, I found that dl_bw_deactivate() returned
-EBUSY, which caused sched_cpu_deactivate() to fail on the last CPU.
But that is not the fact, and contributed by the following factors:
When a CPU is inactive, cpu_rq()->rd is set to def_root_domain. For an
blocked-state deadline task (in this case, "cppc_fie"), it was not
migrated to CPU0, and its task_rq() information is stale. So its rq->rd
points to def_root_domain instead of the one shared with CPU0.  As a
result, its bandwidth is wrongly accounted into a wrong root domain
during domain rebuild.

*** Issue ***
The key point is that root_domain is only tracked through active rq->rd.
To avoid using a global data structure to track all root_domains in the
system, there should be a method to locate an active CPU within the
corresponding root_domain.

*** Solution ***
To locate the active cpu, the following rules for deadline
sub-system is useful
  -1.any cpu belongs to a unique root domain at a given time
  -2.DL bandwidth checker ensures that the root domain has active cpus.

Now, let's examine the blocked-state task P.
If P is attached to a cpuset that is a partition root, it is
straightforward to find an active CPU.
If P is attached to a cpuset that has changed from 'root' to 'member',
the active CPUs are grouped into the parent root domain. Naturally, the
CPUs' capacity and reserved DL bandwidth are taken into account in the
ancestor root domain. (In practice, it may be unsafe to attach P to an
arbitrary root domain, since that domain may lack sufficient DL
bandwidth for P.) Again, it is straightforward to find an active CPU in
the ancestor root domain.

This patch groups CPUs into isolated and housekeeping sets. For the
housekeeping group, it walks up the cpuset hierarchy to find active CPUs
in P's root domain and retrieves the valid rd from cpu_rq(cpu)->rd.

f5a538c07d sched/deadline: Fix dl_server stop condition
Gabriel reported that the dl_server doesn't stop as expected.

The problem was found to be the fact that idle time and fair runtime are
treated equally. Both will count towards dl_server runtime and push the
activation forwards when it is in the zero-laxity wait state.

Notably:

  dl_server_update_idle()
    update_curr_dl_se()
      if (dl_defer && dl_throttled && dl_runtime_exceeded())
        hrtimer_try_to_cancel(); // stop timer
	replenish_dl_new_period()
	  deadline = now + dl_deadline; // fwd period
	  runtime = dl_runtime;
        start_dl_timer(); // restart timer

And while we do want idle time accounted towards the *current* activation of
the dl_server -- after all, a fair task could've ran if we had any -- we don't
necessarily want idle time to cause or push forward an activation.

Introduce dl_defer_idle to make this distinction. It will be set once idle time
pushed the activation forward, once set idle time will only be allowed to
consume any runtime but not push the activation. This will then cause
dl_server_timer() to fire, which will stop the dl_server.

Any non-idle time accounting during this phase will clear dl_defer_idle, so
only a full period of idle will cause the dl_server to stop.

e636ffb9e3 sched/deadline: Fix dl_server time accounting
The dl_server time accounting code is a little odd. The normal scheduler
pattern is to update curr before doing something, such that the old state is
fully accounted before changing state.

Notably, the dl_server_timer() needs to propagate the current time accounting
since the current task could be ran by dl_server and thus this can affect
dl_se->runtime. Similarly for dl_server_start().

And since the (deferred) dl_server wants idle time accounted, rework
sched_idle_class time accounting to be more like all the others.

5e42d4c123 sched/deadline: Prepare for switched_from() change
Prepare for the sched_class::switch*() methods getting folded into the
change pattern. As a result of that, the location of switched_from
will change slightly. SCHED_DEADLINE is affected by this change in
location:

  OLD                              NEW
				|
				|  switching_from()
  dequeue_task();		|  dequeue_task()
  put_prev_task();		|  put_prev_task()
				|  switched_from()
				|
  ... change task ...		|  ... change task ...
				|
  switching_to();		|  switching_to()
  enqueue_task();		|  enqueue_task()
  set_next_task();		|  set_next_task()
  prev_class->switched_from()	|
  switched_to()			|  switched_to()
				|

Notably, where switched_from() was called *after* the change to the
task, it will get called before it. Specifically, switched_from_dl()
uses dl_task(p) which uses p->prio; which is changed when switching
class (it might be the reason to switch class in case of PI).

When switched_from_dl() gets called, the task will have left the
deadline class and dl_task() must be false, while when doing
dequeue_dl_entity() the task must be a dl_task(), otherwise we'd have
called a different dequeue method.

382748c05e sched/deadline: only set free_cpus for online runqueues
Commit 16b269436b ("sched/deadline: Modify cpudl::free_cpus
to reflect rd->online") introduced the cpudl_set/clear_freecpu
functions to allow the cpu_dl::free_cpus mask to be manipulated
by the deadline scheduler class rq_on/offline callbacks so the
mask would also reflect this state.

Commit 9659e1eeee ("sched/deadline: Remove cpu_active_mask
from cpudl_find()") removed the check of the cpu_active_mask to
save some processing on the premise that the cpudl::free_cpus
mask already reflected the runqueue online state.

Unfortunately, there are cases where it is possible for the
cpudl_clear function to set the free_cpus bit for a CPU when the
deadline runqueue is offline. When this occurs while a CPU is
connected to the default root domain the flag may retain the bad
state after the CPU has been unplugged. Later, a different CPU
that is transitioning through the default root domain may push a
deadline task to the powered down CPU when cpudl_find sees its
free_cpus bit is set. If this happens the task will not have the
opportunity to run.

One example is outlined here:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20250110233010.2339521-1-opendmb@gmail.com

Another occurs when the last deadline task is migrated from a
CPU that has an offlined runqueue. The dequeue_task member of
the deadline scheduler class will eventually call cpudl_clear
and set the free_cpus bit for the CPU.

This commit modifies the cpudl_clear function to be aware of the
online state of the deadline runqueue so that the free_cpus mask
can be updated appropriately.

It is no longer necessary to manage the mask outside of the
cpudl_set/clear functions so the cpudl_set/clear_freecpu
functions are removed. In addition, since the free_cpus mask is
now only updated under the cpudl lock the code was changed to
use the non-atomic __cpumask functions.

This happens since:
- dl_server hrtimer gets enqueued close to cpu offline, when

- CPU goes offline and drmgr removes it from cpu_present_mask.
- hrtimer fires and warning is hit.

a3a70caf79 sched/deadline: Fix dl_server behaviour
John reported undesirable behaviour with the dl_server since commit:
cccb45d7c4 ("sched/deadline: Less agressive dl_server handling").

When starving fair tasks on purpose (starting spinning FIFO tasks),
his fair workload, which often goes (briefly) idle, would delay fair
invocations for a second, running one invocation per second was both
unexpected and terribly slow.

The reason this happens is that when dl_se->server_pick_task() returns
NULL, indicating no runnable tasks, it would yield, pushing any later
jobs out a whole period (1 second).

Instead simply stop the server. This should restore behaviour in that
a later wakeup (which restarts the server) will be able to continue
running (subject to the CBS wakeup rules).

Notably, this does not re-introduce the behaviour cccb45d7c4 set
out to solve, any start/stop cycle is naturally throttled by the timer
period (no active cancel).

4ae8d9aa9f sched/deadline: Fix dl_server getting stuck
John found it was easy to hit lockup warnings when running locktorture
on a 2 CPU VM, which he bisected down to: commit cccb45d7c4
("sched/deadline: Less agressive dl_server handling").

While debugging it seems there is a chance where we end up with the
dl_server dequeued, with dl_se->dl_server_active. This causes
dl_server_start() to return without enqueueing the dl_server, thus it
fails to run when RT tasks starve the cpu.

When this happens, dl_server_timer() catches the
'!dl_se->server_has_tasks(dl_se)' case, which then calls
replenish_dl_entity() and dl_server_stopped() and finally return
HRTIMER_NO_RESTART.

This ends in no new timer and also no enqueue, leaving the dl_server
'dead', allowing starvation.

What should have happened is for the bandwidth timer to start the
zero-laxity timer, which in turn would enqueue the dl_server and cause
dl_se->server_pick_task() to be called -- which will stop the
dl_server if no fair tasks are observed for a whole period.

IOW, it is totally irrelevant if there are fair tasks at the moment of
bandwidth refresh.

This removes all dl_se->server_has_tasks() users, so remove the whole
thing.

8fd5485fb4 sched/deadline: Fix race in push_dl_task()
When a CPU chooses to call push_dl_task and picks a task to push to
another CPU's runqueue then it will call find_lock_later_rq method
which would take a double lock on both CPUs' runqueues. If one of the
locks aren't readily available, it may lead to dropping the current
runqueue lock and reacquiring both the locks at once. During this window
it is possible that the task is already migrated and is running on some
other CPU. These cases are already handled. However, if the task is
migrated and has already been executed and another CPU is now trying to
wake it up (ttwu) such that it is queued again on the runqeue
(on_rq is 1) and also if the task was run by the same CPU, then the
current checks will pass even though the task was migrated out and is no
longer in the pushable tasks list.
Please go through the original rt change for more details on the issue.

To fix this, after the lock is obtained inside the find_lock_later_rq,
it ensures that the task is still at the head of pushable tasks list.
Also removed some checks that are no longer needed with the addition of
this new check.
However, the new check of pushable tasks list only applies when
find_lock_later_rq is called by push_dl_task. For the other caller i.e.
dl_task_offline_migration, existing checks are used.

On CPU offline the kernel stalled with below call trace:

cpuhp hold the cpu hotplug lock endless and stalled vmstat_shepherd.
This is because we count nr_running twice on cpuhp enqueuing and failed
the wait condition of cpuhp:

  enqueue_task_fair() // pick cpuhp from idle, rq->nr_running = 0
    dl_server_start()
      [...]

  [switch to cpuhp, waiting on balance_hotplug_wait()]
  rcuwait_wait_event(rq->nr_running == 1 && ...) // failed, rq->nr_running=2
    schedule() // wait again

It doesn't make sense to count the dl_server towards runnable tasks,
since it runs other tasks.
