[PATCH v2] scx: Fix raciness in scx_ops_bypass()
Posted by David Vernet 1 month ago
scx_ops_bypass() can currently race on the ops enable / disable path as
follows:

1. scx_ops_bypass(true) called on enable path, bypass depth is set to 1
2. An op on the init path exits, which schedules scx_ops_disable_workfn()
3. scx_ops_bypass(false) is called on the disable path, and bypass depth
   is decremented to 0
4. kthread is scheduled to execute scx_ops_disable_workfn()
5. scx_ops_bypass(true) called, bypass depth set to 1
6. scx_ops_bypass() races when iterating over CPUs

While it's not safe to take any blocking locks on the bypass path, it is
safe to take a raw spinlock which cannot be preempted. This patch therefore
updates scx_ops_bypass() to use a raw spinlock to synchronize, and changes
scx_ops_bypass_depth to be a regular int.

Without this change, we observe the following warnings when running the
'exit' sched_ext selftest (sometimes requires a couple of runs):

Hello,

This looks great overall. One nit below.

Now that we know irq is disabled in the body, can you also please change
rq_lock_irqsave() to rq_lock?

Thanks.

Ah good point, will send v3 shortly.

[PATCH v3] scx: Fix raciness in scx_ops_bypass()
Posted by David Vernet 1 month ago
scx_ops_bypass() can currently race on the ops enable / disable path as
follows:

1. scx_ops_bypass(true) called on enable path, bypass depth is set to 1
2. An op on the init path exits, which schedules scx_ops_disable_workfn()
3. scx_ops_bypass(false) is called on the disable path, and bypass depth
   is decremented to 0
4. kthread is scheduled to execute scx_ops_disable_workfn()
5. scx_ops_bypass(true) called, bypass depth set to 1
6. scx_ops_bypass() races when iterating over CPUs

While it's not safe to take any blocking locks on the bypass path, it is
safe to take a raw spinlock which cannot be preempted. This patch therefore
updates scx_ops_bypass() to use a raw spinlock to synchronize, and changes
scx_ops_bypass_depth to be a regular int.

Without this change, we observe the following warnings when running the
'exit' sched_ext selftest (sometimes requires a couple of runs):

v2: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20241025203929.22839-1-void@manifault.com/
Changes v2 -> v3:
- Use rq_lock() instead of rq_lock_irqsave() now that we know we're in an IRQ
  region in the CPU loop of scx_ops_bypass().

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20241025054014.66631-2-void@manifault.com/
Changes v1 -> v2:
- Just use a raw spinlock instead of using scheduling contexts to
  synchronize (Tejun)
