Hi folks,
This is the misfit-specific bits I tore out of [1] and that I've been further
chewing on.
o Patch 1 pays attention to group vs CPU capacity checks. It's removing some
safeguard we had against downmigrations, so it had to grow fatter to
compensate for it.
o Patch 2 aligns running and non-running misfit task cache hotness
considerations
This is based on top of today's tip/sched/core at:
e0ccd4a3b01 ("rseq: Optimise rseq_get_rseq_cs() and clear_rseq_cs()")
Revisions
=========
v3 -> part 2 v1
---------------
o Removed sg_lb_stats->group_has_misfit_task (Vincent)
o Shoved misfit specific update_sg_lb_stats() work into its own function
(Vincent)
o Added migrate_degrades_capacity()
o Made task_hot() tweak depend on
src_grp_type == group_has_spare
rather than
idle != CPU_NOT_IDLE
v2 -> v3
--------
o Rebased on top of latest tip/sched/core
o Added test results vs stress-ng.vm-segv
v1 -> v2
--------
o Collected Reviewed-by
o Minor comment and code cleanups
o Consolidated static key vs SD flag explanation (Dietmar)
Note to Vincent: I didn't measure the impact of adding said static key to
load_balance(); I do however believe it is a low hanging fruit. The
wrapper keeps things neat and tidy, and is also helpful for documenting
the intricacies of the static key status vs the presence of the SD flag
in a CPU's sched_domain hierarchy.
o Removed v1 patch 4 - root_domain.max_cpu_capacity is absolutely not what
I had convinced myself it was.
o Squashed capacity margin usage with removal of
group_smaller_{min, max}_capacity() (Vincent)
o Replaced v1 patch 7 with Lingutla's can_migrate_task() patch [2]
o Rewrote task_hot() modification changelog
