Subject: [PATCH] sched/deadline: Fix priority inheritance with multiple scheduling classes

Glenn reported that "an application [he developed produces] a BUG in
deadline.c when a SCHED_DEADLINE task contends with CFS tasks on nested
PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT mutexes.  I believe the bug is triggered when a CFS
task that was boosted by a SCHED_DEADLINE task boosts another CFS task
(nested priority inheritance).

He also provided a simple reproducer creating the situation below:

 So the execution order of locking steps are the following
 (N1 and N2 are non-deadline tasks. D1 is a deadline task. M1 and M2
 are mutexes that are enabled * with priority inheritance.)

 Time moves forward as this timeline goes down:

 N1              N2               D1
 |               |                |
 |               |                |
 Lock(M1)        |                |
 |               |                |
 |             Lock(M2)           |
 |               |                |
 |               |              Lock(M2)
 |               |                |
 |             Lock(M1)           |
 |             (!!bug triggered!) |

Daniel reported a similar situation as well, by just letting ksoftirqd
run with DEADLINE (and eventually block on a mutex).

Problem is that boosted entities (Priority Inheritance) use static
DEADLINE parameters of the top priority waiter. However, there might be
cases where top waiter could be a non-DEADLINE entity that is currently
boosted by a DEADLINE entity from a different lock chain (i.e., nested
priority chains involving entities of non-DEADLINE classes). In this
case, top waiter static DEADLINE parameters could be null (initialized
to 0 at fork()) and replenish_dl_entity() would hit a BUG().

Fix this by keeping track of the original donor and using its parameters
when a task is boosted.

This is actually a v2 attempt (didn't keep $SUBJECT since it's quite
different than v1 [1]) to fix this problem.

v1 was admittedly pretty ugly. Hope this looks slightly better (even
though there is of course overhead associated to the additional
pointer).

Again, the proper way to fix this is by proxy execution. But, I don't
think we are yet there and this problem needs a quick band-aid.

One could probably also think to complicate the present approach and
actually perform accounting using donor's dynamic parameters, but I fear
it would be of little benefit since it would still bring all the
problems associated to affinities. So, I'd propose let's try to fix all
this properly with proxy and just avoid crashes in the meantime.
