Subject[PATCH 4.16 016/196] mm, slab: reschedule cache_reap() on the same CPU
Date
4.16-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz>

commit a9f2a846f0503e7d729f552e3ccfe2279010fe94 upstream.

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.
