Subject: [PATCH 4/4 v2] sched/fair: reduce busy load balance interval
Date: Mon, 21 Sep 2020 09:24:24 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200921072424.14813-5-vincent.guittot@linaro.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200921072424.14813-1-vincent.guittot@linaro.org>

The busy_factor, which increases load balance interval when a cpu is busy,
is set to 32 by default. This value generates some huge LB interval on
large system like the THX2 made of 2 node x 28 cores x 4 threads.
For such system, the interval increases from 112ms to 3584ms at MC level.
And from 228ms to 7168ms at NUMA level.

Even on smaller system, a lower busy factor has shown improvement on the
fair distribution of the running time so let reduce it for all.
