Subject: [PATCH v2] sched/fair: reduce long-tail newly idle balance cost
Date: Wed, 24 Feb 2021 16:15:49 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1614154549-116078-1-git-send-email-aubrey.li@intel.com> (raw)
A long-tail load balance cost is observed on the newly idle path,
this is caused by a race window between the first nr_running check
of the busiest runqueue and its nr_running recheck in detach_tasks.
Before the busiest runqueue is locked, the tasks on the busiest
runqueue could be pulled by other CPUs and nr_running of the busiest
runqueu becomes 1 or even 0 if the running task becomes idle, this
causes detach_tasks breaks with LBF_ALL_PINNED flag set, and triggers
load_balance redo at the same sched_domain level.
In order to find the new busiest sched_group and CPU, load balance will
recompute and update the various load statistics, which eventually leads
to the long-tail load balance cost.
This patch clears LBF_ALL_PINNED flag for this race condition, and hence
reduces the long-tail cost of newly idle balance.
