Subject: [PATCH] sched/pelt: Use rq_clock_task() for hw_pressure
Date: Thu, 25 Jul 2024 19:42:00 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240725114200.375611-1-yu.c.chen@intel.com> (raw)

commit 97450eb90965 ("sched/pelt: Remove shift of thermal clock")
removed the decay_shift for hw_pressure. While looking at a related
bug report, it is found that this commit uses the sched_clock_task()
in sched_tick() while replaces the sched_clock_task() with rq_clock_pelt()
in __update_blocked_others(). This could bring inconsistence. One possible
scenario I can think of is in ___update_load_sum():

u64 delta = now - sa->last_update_time

'now' could be calculated by rq_clock_pelt() from
__update_blocked_others(), and last_update_time was calculated by
rq_clock_task() previously from sched_tick(). Usually the former chases
after the latter, it cause a very large 'delta' and brings unexpected
behavior. Although this should not impact x86 platform in the bug report,
it should be fixed for other platforms.
