This new field cpu_capacity_orig reflects the original capacity of a CPU before being altered by rt tasks and/or IRQ
The cpu_capacity_orig will be used: - to detect when the capacity of a CPU has been noticeably reduced so we can trig load balance to look for a CPU with better capacity. As an example, we can detect when a CPU handles a significant amount of irq (with CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING) but this CPU is seen as an idle CPU by scheduler whereas CPUs, which are really idle, are available. - evaluate the available capacity for CFS tasks Signed-off-by: Vincent Guittot <vincent.guit...@linaro.org> Reviewed-by: Kamalesh Babulal <kamal...@linux.vnet.ibm.com> --- kernel/sched/core.c | 2 +- kernel/sched/fair.c | 8 +++++++- kernel/sched/sched.h | 1 + 3 files changed, 9 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/kernel/sched/core.c b/kernel/sched/core.c index c84bdc0..45ae52d 100644 --- a/kernel/sched/core.c +++ b/kernel/sched/core.c @@ -7087,7 +7087,7 @@ void __init sched_init(void) #ifdef CONFIG_SMP rq->sd = NULL; rq->rd = NULL; - rq->cpu_capacity = SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE; + rq->cpu_capacity = rq->cpu_capacity_orig = SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE; rq->post_schedule = 0; rq->active_balance = 0; rq->next_balance = jiffies; diff --git a/kernel/sched/fair.c b/kernel/sched/fair.c index b37c27b..4782733 100644 --- a/kernel/sched/fair.c +++ b/kernel/sched/fair.c @@ -4141,6 +4141,11 @@ static unsigned long capacity_of(int cpu) return cpu_rq(cpu)->cpu_capacity; } +static unsigned long capacity_orig_of(int cpu) +{ + return cpu_rq(cpu)->cpu_capacity_orig; +} + static unsigned long cpu_avg_load_per_task(int cpu) { struct rq *rq = cpu_rq(cpu); @@ -5821,6 +5826,7 @@ static void update_cpu_capacity(struct sched_domain *sd, int cpu) capacity >>= SCHED_CAPACITY_SHIFT; + cpu_rq(cpu)->cpu_capacity_orig = capacity; sdg->sgc->capacity_orig = capacity; capacity *= scale_rt_capacity(cpu); @@ -5875,7 +5881,7 @@ void update_group_capacity(struct sched_domain *sd, int cpu) * Runtime updates will correct capacity_orig. */ if (unlikely(!rq->sd)) { - capacity_orig += capacity_of(cpu); + capacity_orig += capacity_orig_of(cpu); capacity += capacity_of(cpu); continue; } diff --git a/kernel/sched/sched.h b/kernel/sched/sched.h index fc5b152..aaaa3e4 100644 --- a/kernel/sched/sched.h +++ b/kernel/sched/sched.h @@ -585,6 +585,7 @@ struct rq { struct sched_domain *sd; unsigned long cpu_capacity; + unsigned long cpu_capacity_orig; unsigned char idle_balance; /* For active balancing */ -- 1.9.1 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
