From: Wanpeng Li <wanpen...@tencent.com>
On a machine, cpu 0 is used for housekeeping, the other 39 cpus in the
same socket are in nohz_full mode. We can observe huge time burn in the
loop for seaching nearest busy housekeeper cpu by ftrace.
2) | get_nohz_timer_target() {
2) 0.240 us | housekeeping_test_cpu();
2) 0.458 us | housekeeping_test_cpu();
...
2) 0.292 us | housekeeping_test_cpu();
2) 0.240 us | housekeeping_test_cpu();
2) 0.227 us | housekeeping_any_cpu();
2) + 43.460 us | }
This patch optimizes the searching logic by finding a nearest housekeeper
cpu in the housekeeping cpumask, it can minimize the worst searching time
from ~44us to < 10us in my testing. In addition, the last iterated busy
housekeeper can become a random candidate while current CPU is a better
fallback if it is a housekeeper.
