commitfe1f071438upstream. When the user moves a running task to a new rdtgroup using the task's file interface or by deleting its rdtgroup, the resulting change in CLOSID/RMID must be immediately propagated to the PQR_ASSOC MSR on the task(s) CPUs. x86 allows reordering loads with prior stores, so if the task starts running between a task_curr() check that the CPU hoisted before the stores in the CLOSID/RMID update then it can start running with the old CLOSID/RMID until it is switched again because __rdtgroup_move_task() failed to determine that it needs to be interrupted to obtain the new CLOSID/RMID. Refer to the diagram below: CPU 0 CPU 1 ----- ----- __rdtgroup_move_task(): curr <- t1->cpu->rq->curr __schedule(): rq->curr <- t1 resctrl_sched_in(): t1->{closid,rmid} -> {1,1} t1->{closid,rmid} <- {2,2} if (curr == t1) // false IPI(t1->cpu) A similar race impacts rdt_move_group_tasks(), which updates tasks in a deleted rdtgroup. In both cases, use smp_mb() to order the task_struct::{closid,rmid} stores before the loads in task_curr(). In particular, in the rdt_move_group_tasks() case, simply execute an smp_mb() on every iteration with a matching task. It is possible to use a single smp_mb() in rdt_move_group_tasks(), but this would require two passes and a means of remembering which task_structs were updated in the first loop. However, benchmarking results below showed too little performance impact in the simple approach to justify implementing the two-pass approach. Times below were collected using `perf stat` to measure the time to remove a group containing a 1600-task, parallel workload.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
