Subject: [PATCH v3] sched/fair: prefer prev cpu in asymmetric wakeup path
Date: Thu, 29 Oct 2020 17:18:24 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201029161824.26389-1-vincent.guittot@linaro.org> (raw)
During fast wakeup path, scheduler always check whether local or prev cpus
are good candidates for the task before looking for other cpus in the
domain. With
commit b7a331615d25 ("sched/fair: Add asymmetric CPU capacity wakeup scan")
the heterogenous system gains a dedicated path but doesn't try to reuse
prev cpu whenever possible. If the previous cpu is idle and belong to the
LLC domain, we should check it 1st before looking for another cpu because
it stays one of the best candidate and this also stabilizes task placement
on the system.
This change aligns asymmetric path behavior with symmetric one and reduces
cases where the task migrates across all cpus of the sd_asym_cpucapacity
domains at wakeup.
This change does not impact normal EAS mode but only the overloaded case or
when EAS is not used.
- On hikey960 with performance governor (EAS disable)
./perf bench sched pipe -T -l 50000
mainline w/ patch
# migrations 999364 0
ops/sec 149313(+/-0.28%) 182587(+/- 0.40) +22%
- On hikey with performance governor
./perf bench sched pipe -T -l 50000
mainline w/ patch
# migrations 0 0
ops/sec 47721(+/-0.76%) 47899(+/- 0.56) +0.4%
According to test on hikey, the patch doesn't impact symmetric system
compared to current implementation (only tested on arm64)
Also read the uclamped value of task's utilization at most twice instead
instead each time we compare task's utilization with cpu's capacity.
