From 2539fc82aa9b07d968cf9ba1ffeec3e0416ac721 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Patrick Bellasi Date: Thu, 24 May 2018 15:10:23 +0100 Subject: sched/fair: Update util_est before updating schedutil When a task is enqueued the estimated utilization of a CPU is updated to better support the selection of the required frequency. However, schedutil is (implicitly) updated by update_load_avg() which always happens before util_est_{en,de}queue(), thus potentially introducing a latency between estimated utilization updates and frequency selections. Let's update util_est at the beginning of enqueue_task_fair(), which will ensure that all schedutil updates will see the most updated estimated utilization value for a CPU.
