Subject: [PATCH v2] sched/fair: fix initial util_avg calculation
Date: Thu, 14 Mar 2024 18:59:16 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240315015916.21545-1-daweilics@gmail.com> (raw)

Change se->load.weight to se_weight(se) in the calculation for the
initial util_avg to avoid unnecessarily inflating the util_avg by 1024
times.

The reason is that se->load.weight has the unit/scale as the scaled-up
load, while cfs_rg->avg.load_avg has the unit/scale as the true task
weight (as mapped directly from the task's nice/priority value). With
CONFIG_32BIT, the scaled-up load is equal to the true task weight. With
CONFIG_64BIT, the scaled-up load is 1024 times the true task weight.
Thus, the current code may inflate the util_avg by 1024 times. The
follow-up capping will not allow the util_avg value to go wild. But the
calculation should have the correct logic.
