Subject: [PATCH] sched/nohz: fix affine unpinned timers mess
Date: Wed, 4 May 2016 14:45:34 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1462344334-8303-1-git-send-email-wanpeng.li@hotmail.com> (raw)
From: Wanpeng Li <wanpeng.li@hotmail.com>
'commit 9642d18eee2c ("nohz: Affine unpinned timers to housekeepers")'
intended to affine unpinned timers to housekeepers:
unpinned timers(full dynaticks, idle) => nearest busy housekeepers(otherwise, fallback to any housekeepers)
unpinned timers(full dynaticks, busy) => nearest busy housekeepers(otherwise, fallback to any housekeepers)
unpinned timers(houserkeepers, idle) => nearest busy housekeepers(otherwise, fallback to itself)
However, the !idle_cpu(i) && is_housekeeping_cpu(cpu) check modify the
intention to:
unpinned timers(full dynaticks, idle) => any housekeepers(no mattter cpu topology)
unpinned timers(full dynaticks, busy) => any housekeepers(no mattter cpu topology)
unpinned timers(housekeepers, idle) => any busy cpus(otherwise, fallback to any housekeepers)
This patch fix it by checking if there is busy housekeepers nearby,
otherwise fallback to any housekeepers/itself, after the patch:
unpinned timers(full dynaticks, idle) => nearest busy housekeepers(otherwise, fallback to any housekeepers)
unpinned timers(full dynaticks, busy) => nearest busy housekeepers(otherwise, fallback to any housekeepers)
unpinned timers(housekeepers, idle) => nearest busy housekeepers(otherwise, fallback to itself)
Fixes: 'commit 9642d18eee2c ("nohz: Affine unpinned timers to housekeepers")'
