Commit e9532e69b8d1 ("sched/cputime: Fix steal time accounting vs. CPU
hotplug")
set rq->prev_* to 0 after a cpu hotplug comes back in order to fix the scenario:
| steal is smaller than rq->prev_steal_time we end up with an insane large
| value which then gets added to rq->prev_steal_time, resulting in a permanent
| wreckage of the accounting.
However, it is still buggy.
rq->prev_steal_time = 0:
As Rik pointed out:
| setting rq->prev_irq_time to 0 in the guest, and then getting a giant value
from
| the host, could result in a very large of steal_jiffies.
rq->prev_steal_time_rq = 0:
| steal = paravirt_steal_clock(cpu_of(rq));
| steal -= rq->prev_steal_time_rq;
|
| if (unlikely(steal > delta))
| steal = delta;
|
| rq->prev_steal_time_rq += steal;
| delta -= steal;
|
| rq->clock_task += delta;
steal is a giant value and rq->prev_steal_time_rq is 0, rq->prev_steal_time_rq
grows in delta granularity, rq->clock_task can't ramp up until
rq->prev_steal_time_rq
catches up steal clock since delta value will be 0 after reducing steal time
from
normal execution time. That's why I obersved that cpuhg/1-12 continue running
until rq->prev_steal_time_rq catches up steal clock timestamp.
I believe rq->prev_irq_time has similar issue. So this patch fix it by
reverting
commit e9532e69b8d1.
