This is correct. > so we can remove the redundant psi_task_tick from scheduler_tick to > save this periodic cost. But this isn't. It IS the task tick that makes it so. The state change tracking counts MEMSTALL tasks and ONCPU tasks, but it doesn't check whether the ONCPU task is the MEMSTALL one. It would be possible to incorporate that into psi_task_switch(), but you have to be careful with the branches because that path is often hotter than the timer tick. This patch by itself breaks page reclaim detection, so NAK.
