Subject: [PATCH v5] sched/pelt: Use rq_clock_task() for hw_pressure
Date: Tue, 27 Aug 2024 19:26:07 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240827112607.181206-1-yu.c.chen@intel.com> (raw)

commit 97450eb90965 ("sched/pelt: Remove shift of thermal clock")
removed the decay_shift for hw_pressure. This commit uses the
sched_clock_task() in sched_tick() while it 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.

v4->v5:
  Added Vincent's Reviewed-by tag.
v3->v4:
  Revert to v2 to keep the clock outside of pelt functions.
  (Vincent Guittot)
  Added comments for hw_pressure within __update_blocked_others().

v2>v3:
  call rq_clock_task() inside update_hw_load_avg() to avoid any
  inconsistence in the future. (Qais Yousef)
  Added comments around update_hw_load_avg(). (Qais Yousef)
v1->v2:
  Added Hongyan's Reviewed-by tag.
  Removed the Reported-by/Closes tags because they are not related
  to this fix.(Hongyan Xia)
