[PATCH v2] sched/uclamp: Fix uclamp_tg_restrict()

From: Qais Yousef
Date: Thu Jun 17 2021 - 12:52:03 EST


Now cpu.uclamp.min acts as a protection, we need to make sure that the
uclamp request of the task is within the allowed range of the cgroup,
that is it is clamp()'ed correctly by tg->uclamp[UCLAMP_MIN] and
tg->uclamp[UCLAMP_MAX].

As reported by Xuewen [1] we can have some corner cases where there's
inversion between uclamp requested by task (p) and the uclamp values of
the taskgroup it's attached to (tg). Following table demonstrates
2 corner cases:

| p | tg | effective
-----------+-----+------+-----------
CASE 1
-----------+-----+------+-----------
uclamp_min | 60% | 0% | 60%
-----------+-----+------+-----------
uclamp_max | 80% | 50% | 50%
-----------+-----+------+-----------
CASE 2
-----------+-----+------+-----------
uclamp_min | 0% | 30% | 30%
-----------+-----+------+-----------
uclamp_max | 20% | 50% | 20%
-----------+-----+------+-----------

With this fix we get:

| p | tg | effective
-----------+-----+------+-----------
CASE 1
-----------+-----+------+-----------
uclamp_min | 60% | 0% | 50%
-----------+-----+------+-----------
uclamp_max | 80% | 50% | 50%
-----------+-----+------+-----------
CASE 2
-----------+-----+------+-----------
uclamp_min | 0% | 30% | 30%
-----------+-----+------+-----------
uclamp_max | 20% | 50% | 30%
-----------+-----+------+-----------

Additionally uclamp_update_active_tasks() must now unconditionally
update both UCLAMP_MIN/MAX because changing the tg's UCLAMP_MAX for
instance could have an impact on the effective UCLAMP_MIN of the tasks.

| p | tg | effective
-----------+-----+------+-----------
old
-----------+-----+------+-----------
uclamp_min | 60% | 0% | 50%
-----------+-----+------+-----------
uclamp_max | 80% | 50% | 50%
-----------+-----+------+-----------
*new*
-----------+-----+------+-----------
uclamp_min | 60% | 0% | *60%*
-----------+-----+------+-----------
uclamp_max | 80% |*70%* | *70%*
-----------+-----+------+-----------

Changes in v2:

* Fixed a typo in commit message (Diemtar).
* Renamed uc_eff back to uc_req (Dietmar).
* Move the loop to update clamp_id to be done once inside the
task_rq_lock() (Dietmar).
