Subject: [PATCH v4 4/4] sched: adjust fix_small_imbalance moving task condition
Date: Tue, 18 Jun 2013 21:04:19 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1371560659-4686-5-git-send-email-leiwen@marvell.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1371560659-4686-1-git-send-email-leiwen@marvell.com>

Suppose here we have such example, in current domain, there are two
cpus. CPU A with 4 task, while CPU B with 5 tasks. All tasks over two
runqueue are the same priority.

Let say the load for CPU A is 4096, and CPU B is 5120, then avg_load
should be 4608. Suppose sgp->power == SCHED_POWER_SCALE.
Then the imbalance value should be 512, less then the
busiest_load_per_task, which is 1024. From the logic we enter into
fix_small_imbalance adjustment.

For busiest_per_task==this_load_per_task, imbn's value is equal to 2.
Thus below statement would be true, and load balance would move one task
from CPU B to CPU A.
      if (sds->max_load - sds->this_load + scaled_busy_load_per_task >=
                        (scaled_busy_load_per_task * imbn)) {

When CPU B issue load balance later, it would move one task back again,
which bring infinite end...
Kill the >=, and make it as >, to stop this loop.
