From 68d7a190682aa4eb02db477328088ebad15acc83 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dietmar Eggemann Date: Wed, 2 Jun 2021 16:58:08 +0200 Subject: sched/fair: Fix util_est UTIL_AVG_UNCHANGED handling The util_est internal UTIL_AVG_UNCHANGED flag which is used to prevent unnecessary util_est updates uses the LSB of util_est.enqueued. It is exposed via _task_util_est() (and task_util_est()). Commit 92a801e5d5b7 ("sched/fair: Mask UTIL_AVG_UNCHANGED usages") mentions that the LSB is lost for util_est resolution but find_energy_efficient_cpu() checks if task_util_est() returns 0 to return prev_cpu early. _task_util_est() returns the max value of util_est.ewma and util_est.enqueued or'ed w/ UTIL_AVG_UNCHANGED. So task_util_est() returning the max of task_util() and _task_util_est() will never return 0 under the default SCHED_FEAT(UTIL_EST, true). To fix this use the MSB of util_est.enqueued instead and keep the flag util_est internal, i.e. don't export it via _task_util_est(). The maximal possible util_avg value for a task is 1024 so the MSB of 'unsigned int util_est.enqueued' isn't used to store a util value. As a caveat the code behind the util_est_se trace point has to filter UTIL_AVG_UNCHANGED to see the real util_est.enqueued value which should be easy to do. This also fixes an issue report by Xuewen Yan that util_est_update() only used UTIL_AVG_UNCHANGED for the subtrahend of the equation: last_enqueued_diff = ue.enqueued - (task_util() | UTIL_AVG_UNCHANGED) Fixes: b89997aa88f0b sched/pelt: Fix task util_est update filtering Signed-off-by: Dietmar Eggemann Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) Reviewed-by: Xuewen Yan Reviewed-by: Vincent Donnefort Reviewed-by: Vincent Guittot Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210602145808.1562603-1-dietmar.eggemann@arm.com --- kernel/sched/pelt.h | 11 +---------- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 10 deletions(-) (limited to 'kernel/sched/pelt.h') diff --git a/kernel/sched/pelt.h b/kernel/sched/pelt.h index 1462846d244e..cfe94ffd2b38 100644 --- a/kernel/sched/pelt.h +++ b/kernel/sched/pelt.h @@ -42,15 +42,6 @@ static inline u32 get_pelt_divider(struct sched_avg *avg) return LOAD_AVG_MAX - 1024 + avg->period_contrib; } -/* - * When a task is dequeued, its estimated utilization should not be update if - * its util_avg has not been updated at least once. - * This flag is used to synchronize util_avg updates with util_est updates. - * We map this information into the LSB bit of the utilization saved at - * dequeue time (i.e. util_est.dequeued). - */ -#define UTIL_AVG_UNCHANGED 0x1 - static inline void cfs_se_util_change(struct sched_avg *avg) { unsigned int enqueued; @@ -58,7 +49,7 @@ static inline void cfs_se_util_change(struct sched_avg *avg) if (!sched_feat(UTIL_EST)) return; - /* Avoid store if the flag has been already set */ + /* Avoid store if the flag has been already reset */ enqueued = avg->util_est.enqueued; if (!(enqueued & UTIL_AVG_UNCHANGED)) return; -- cgit v1.2.3
