From 1fa405bf1eca0dd4a91511d7cbd6021c8f6fc0d7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tianchen Ding Date: Thu, 9 Jun 2022 07:34:11 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] sched: Fix the check of nr_running at queue wakelist The commit 5378097a078d ("sched/core: Offload wakee task activation if it the wakee is descheduling") checked rq->nr_running <= 1 to avoid task stacking when WF_ON_CPU. Per the ordering of writes to p->on_rq and p->on_cpu, observing p->on_cpu (WF_ON_CPU) in ttwu_queue_cond() implies !p->on_rq, IOW p has gone through the deactivate_task() in __schedule(), thus p has been accounted out of rq->nr_running. As such, the task being the only runnable task on the rq implies reading rq->nr_running == 0 at that point. The benchmark result is in [1].
