While running tests on Android, I found that the snipped above should
be better done in uclamp_rq_inc_id() for two main reasons:
1. because of the early return in this function, we skip the reset in
case the task is not the last one running on a CPU, thus
triggering the above SCHED_WARN_ON
2. since a non active bucket is already ignored, we don't care about
resetting its "local max value"
Will move the "max local update" in uclamp_rq_inc_id() where something
like:
/*
* Local max aggregation: rq buckets always track the max
* "requested" clamp value of its RUNNABLE tasks.
*/
if (bucket->tasks == 1 || uc_se->value > bucket->value)
bucket->value = uc_se->value;
Should grant to always have an updated local max every time a bucket
is active.
