From a9f2a846f0503e7d729f552e3ccfe2279010fe94 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vlastimil Babka Date: Fri, 13 Apr 2018 15:35:38 -0700 Subject: mm, slab: reschedule cache_reap() on the same CPU cache_reap() is initially scheduled in start_cpu_timer() via schedule_delayed_work_on(). But then the next iterations are scheduled via schedule_delayed_work(), i.e. using WORK_CPU_UNBOUND. Thus since commit ef557180447f ("workqueue: schedule WORK_CPU_UNBOUND work on wq_unbound_cpumask CPUs") there is no guarantee the future iterations will run on the originally intended cpu, although it's still preferred. I was able to demonstrate this with /sys/module/workqueue/parameters/debug_force_rr_cpu. IIUC, it may also happen due to migrating timers in nohz context. As a result, some cpu's would be calling cache_reap() more frequently and others never. This patch uses schedule_delayed_work_on() with the current cpu when scheduling the next iteration.
