[Xen-devel] [PATCH v2] xen/sched: add some diagnostic info in the run queue keyhandler
Posted by Juergen Gross 4 years, 2 months ago
When dumping the run queue information add some more data regarding
current and (if known) previous vcpu for each physical cpu.

With core scheduling activated the printed data will be e.g.:

(XEN) CPUs info:
(XEN) CPU[00] current=d[IDLE]v0, curr=d[IDLE]v0, prev=NULL
(XEN) CPU[01] current=d[IDLE]v1
(XEN) CPU[02] current=d[IDLE]v2, curr=d[IDLE]v2, prev=NULL
(XEN) CPU[03] current=d[IDLE]v3

I'm fine with this patch, i.e., I think the additional logging it is
adding is useful and the locking is correct and in line with the
current (scheduling) keyhandler locking practices.

And thanks for making the requested adjustments to the changelog. :-)

So, I think it should go in:

Reviewed-by: Dario Faggioli <dfaggioli@suse.com>

If/when, as a result of the discussion going on in the thread about
keyhandler locking, we decide to change all the locks for all the
keyhandlers, then we'll change them here as well.

"Proper" is ambiguous in the context of dumping functions. In a
number of places we use try-lock, to avoid the dumping hanging
on something else monopolizing the lock. I'd like to suggest to
do so here, too.

All the scheduler related dumping functions are using the "real" locks.
So using trylock in this single case wouldn't help at all. Additionally
using trylock only would make a crash during dumping the data more
probable, so I'm not sure we want that.

Instead of unconditionally using trylock in dumping functions I could
imagine to have a "dumplock" using proper locking by default which can
be toggled to trylock in case it is needed (or maybe automatically by
adding a timeout to the dumplock variant).

Why would it make a crash more likely? If you can't get the lock,
you'd simply skip dumping.

Ah, okay, then I misunderstood your intention.

I still think that this should be done not only in one place, but in a
more general fashion. I'd rather give up only after some time trying
(1 millisecond per default?) and apply the same scheme to all dumping
functions.

I can have a try for such a series if you agree on taking a more general
approach.

Getting behavior consistent across key handlers would of course
be very nice.
