Revision a0fe2cf086aef213d1b4bca1b1291a3dee8357c9 authored by Valentin Schneider on 11 February 2019, 17:59:45 UTC, committed by Ingo Molnar on 19 March 2019, 11:06:15 UTC
In this commit: 3b1baa6496e6 ("sched/fair: Add 'group_misfit_task' load-balance type") we set rq->misfit_task_load whenever the current running task has a utilization greater than 80% of rq->cpu_capacity. A non-zero value in this field enables misfit load balancing. However, if the task being looked at is already running on a CPU of highest capacity, there's nothing more we can do for it. We can currently spot this in update_sd_pick_busiest(), which prevents us from selecting a sched_group of group_type == group_misfit_task as the busiest group, but we don't do any of that in nohz_balancer_kick(). This means that we could repeatedly kick NOHZ CPUs when there's no improvements in terms of load balance to be done. Introduce a check_misfit_status() helper that returns true iff there is a CPU in the system that could give more CPU capacity to a rq's misfit task - IOW, there exists a CPU of higher capacity_orig or the rq's CPU is severely pressured by rt/IRQ.
