Subject: [PATCH] sched_ext: Fix incorrect sched_class settings for per-cpu
migration tasks
When loading the ebpf scheduler, the tasks in the scx_tasks list will
be traversed and invoke __setscheduler_class() to get new sched_class.
however, this would also incorrectly set the per-cpu migration
task's->sched_class to rt_sched_class, even after unload, the per-cpu
migration task's->sched_class remains sched_rt_class.
The log for this issue is as follows:
./scx_rustland --stats 1

Subject: [PATCH] sched/eevdf: Fix min_vruntime vs avg_vruntime
Basically, from the constraint that the sum of lag is zero, you can
infer that the 0-lag point is the weighted average of the individual
vruntime, which is what we're trying to compute:
\Sum w_i * v_i
avg = --------------
\Sum w_i
Now, since vruntime takes the whole u64 (worse, it wraps), this
multiplication term in the numerator is not something we can compute;
instead we do the min_vruntime (v0 henceforth) thing like:
v_i = (v_i - v0) + v0
This does two things:
- it keeps the key: (v_i - v0) 'small';
- it creates a relative 0-point in the modular space.
If you do that subtitution and work it all out, you end up with:
\Sum w_i * (v_i - v0)
avg = --------------------- + v0
\Sum w_i
Since you cannot very well track a ratio like that (and not suffer
terrible numerical problems) we simpy track the numerator and
denominator individually and only perform the division when strictly
needed.
Notably, the numerator lives in cfs_rq->avg_vruntime and the denominator
lives in cfs_rq->avg_load.
The one extra 'funny' is that these numbers track the entities in the
tree, and current is typically outside of the tree, so avg_vruntime()
adds current when needed before doing the division.
(vruntime_eligible() elides the division by cross-wise multiplication)
Anyway, as mentioned above, we currently use the CFS era min_vruntime
for this purpose. However, this thing can only move forward, while the
above avg can in fact move backward (when a non-eligible task leaves,
the average becomes smaller), this can cause trouble when through
happenstance (or construction) these values drift far enough apart to
wreck the game.
Replace cfs_rq::min_vruntime with cfs_rq::zero_vruntime which is kept
near/at avg_vruntime, following its motion.
The down-side is that this requires computing the avg more often.

The issue occurs when gfs2_freeze_lock_shared() fails in
gfs2_fill_super(). If !sb_rdonly(sb), threads for the quotad and logd
were started, however, in the error path for gfs2_freeze_lock_shared(),
the threads are not stopped by gfs2_destroy_threads() before jumping to
fail_per_node.
This patch introduces fail_threads to handle stopping the threads if the
threads were started.

Hi,
I’m reporting a performance regression of up to 6% sequential I/O
vdbench regression observed on 6.12.y kernel.
While running performance benchmarks on v6.12.60 kernel the sequential
I/O vdbench metrics are showing a 5-6% performance regression when
compared to v6.12.48
Bisect root cause commit
========================
- commit b39b62075ab4 ("cpuidle: menu: Remove iowait influence")
Things work fine again when the previously removed
performance-multiplier code is added back.
Test details
============
The system is connected to a number of disks in disk array using
multipathing and directio configuration in the vdbench profile.
wd=wd1,sd=sd*,rdpct=0,seekpct=sequential,xfersize=128k
rd=128k64T,wd=wd1,iorate=max,elapsed=600,interval=1,warmup=300,threads=64
Thanks,
Alok

Subject: [PATCH] lib/crypto: riscv: Depend on
RISCV_EFFICIENT_VECTOR_UNALIGNED_ACCESS
Replace the RISCV_ISA_V dependency of the RISC-V crypto code with
RISCV_EFFICIENT_VECTOR_UNALIGNED_ACCESS, which implies RISCV_ISA_V as
well as vector unaligned accesses being efficient.
This is necessary because this code assumes that vector unaligned
accesses are supported and are efficient. (It does so to avoid having
to use lots of extra vsetvli instructions to switch the element width
back and forth between 8 and either 32 or 64.)
This was omitted from the code originally just because the RISC-V kernel
support for detecting this feature didn't exist yet. Support has now
been added, but it's fragmented into per-CPU runtime detection, a
command-line parameter, and a kconfig option. The kconfig option is the
only reasonable way to do it, though, so let's just rely on that.
