Currently, SD_WAKE_AFFINE always takes priority over wakeup balancing if SD_BALANCE_WAKE is set on the sched_domains. For asymmetric configurations SD_WAKE_AFFINE is only desirable if the waking task's compute demand (utilization) is suitable for the cpu capacities available within the SD_WAKE_AFFINE sched_domain. If not, let wakeup balancing take over (find_idlest_{group, cpu}()).
The assumption is that SD_WAKE_AFFINE is never set for a sched_domain containing cpus with different capacities. This is enforced by a previous patch based on the SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY flag. Ideally, we shouldn't set 'want_affine' in the first place, but we don't know if SD_BALANCE_WAKE is enabled on the sched_domain(s) until we start traversing them. cc: Ingo Molnar <mi...@redhat.com> cc: Peter Zijlstra <pet...@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Morten Rasmussen <morten.rasmus...@arm.com> --- kernel/sched/fair.c | 28 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++- 1 file changed, 27 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/kernel/sched/fair.c b/kernel/sched/fair.c index 564215d..ce44fa7 100644 --- a/kernel/sched/fair.c +++ b/kernel/sched/fair.c @@ -114,6 +114,12 @@ unsigned int __read_mostly sysctl_sched_shares_window = 10000000UL; unsigned int sysctl_sched_cfs_bandwidth_slice = 5000UL; #endif +/* + * The margin used when comparing utilization with cpu capacity: + * util * 1024 < capacity * margin + */ +unsigned int capacity_margin = 1280; /* ~20% */ + static inline void update_load_add(struct load_weight *lw, unsigned long inc) { lw->weight += inc; @@ -5293,6 +5299,25 @@ static int cpu_util(int cpu) return (util >= capacity) ? capacity : util; } +static inline int task_util(struct task_struct *p) +{ + return p->se.avg.util_avg; +} + +static int wake_cap(struct task_struct *p, int cpu, int prev_cpu) +{ + long delta; + long prev_cap = capacity_of(prev_cpu); + + delta = cpu_rq(cpu)->rd->max_cpu_capacity - prev_cap; + + /* prev_cpu is fairly close to max, no need to abort wake_affine */ + if (delta < prev_cap >> 3) + return 0; + + return prev_cap * 1024 < task_util(p) * capacity_margin; +} + /* * select_task_rq_fair: Select target runqueue for the waking task in domains * that have the 'sd_flag' flag set.
