Subject: [RFC][PATCH v13 6/7] sched: Fix proxy/current (push,pull)ability
From: Valentin Schneider <valentin.schneider@....com>
Proxy execution forms atomic pairs of tasks: The waiting donor
task (scheduling context) and a proxy (execution context). The
donor task, along with the rest of the blocked chain, follows
the proxy wrt CPU placement.
They can be the same task, in which case push/pull doesn't need any
modification. When they are different, however,
FIFO1 & FIFO42:
,-> RT42
| | blocked-on
| v
blocked_donor | mutex
| | owner
| v
`-- RT1
RT1
RT42
CPU0 CPU1
^ ^
| |
overloaded !overloaded
rq prio = 42 rq prio = 0
RT1 is eligible to be pushed to CPU1, but should that happen it will
"carry" RT42 along. Clearly here neither RT1 nor RT42 must be seen as
push/pullable.
Unfortunately, only the donor task is usually dequeued from the rq,
and the proxy'ed execution context (rq->curr) remains on the rq.
This can cause RT1 to be selected for migration from logic like the
rt pushable_list.
Thus, adda a dequeue/enqueue cycle on the proxy task before __schedule
returns, which allows the sched class logic to avoid adding the now
current task to the pushable_list.
Furthermore, tasks becoming blocked on a mutex don't need an explicit
dequeue/enqueue cycle to be made (push/pull)able: they have to be running
to block on a mutex, thus they will eventually hit put_prev_task().

v3:
* Tweaked comments & commit message
v5:
* Minor simplifications to utilize the fix earlier
in the patch series.
* Rework the wording of the commit message to match selected/
proxy terminology and expand a bit to make it more clear how
it works.
v6:
* Dropped now-unused proxied value, to be re-added later in the
series when it is used, as caught by Dietmar
v7:
* Unused function argument fixup
* Commit message nit pointed out by Metin Kaya
* Dropped unproven unlikely() and use sched_proxy_exec()
in proxy_tag_curr, suggested by Metin Kaya
v8:
* More cleanups and typo fixes suggested by Metin Kaya
v11:
* Cleanup of comimt message suggested by Metin
v12:
* Rework for rq_selected -> rq->donor renaming
