Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] sched: update the rq->avg_idle when a task is moved to an idle CPU
Date: Thu, 27 Nov 2025 13:03:52 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251127050353.1089724-3-shijie@os.amperecomputing.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251127050353.1089724-1-shijie@os.amperecomputing.com>
In the newidle balance, the rq->idle_stamp may set to a non-zero value
if it cannot pull any task.
In the wakeup, it will detect the rq->idle_stamp, and updates
the rq->avg_idle, then ends the CPU idle status by setting rq->idle_stamp
to zero.
Besides the wakeup, current code does not end the CPU idle status
when a task is moved to the idle CPU, such as fork/clone, execve,
or other cases.
This patch introduces a helper: update_rq_avg_idle().
And uses it in activate_task(), so it will update the rq->avg_idle
when a task is moved to an idle CPU at:
-- wakeup
-- fork/clone
-- execve
-- idle balance
-- other cases
