Subject: [PATCH] sched/deadline: Do not pull when the local CPU is the only overloaded one
Date: Fri, 7 Aug 2026 23:07:09 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260807150709.47181-1-haohlliang@gmail.com> (raw)
Mirror the short-circuit added to pull_rt_task() by commit f73c52a5bcd1
("sched/rt: Do not pull from current CPU if only one CPU to pull"):
when dlo_count == 1 and the local CPU owns the sole dlo_mask bit, the
for_each_cpu() loop skips this_cpu on every iteration and does nothing.
Return early instead.
pull_dl_task() shares the same overload-tracking design as the RT side
-- dl_set_overload() mirrors rt_set_overload(), incrementing rd->dlo_count
after an smp_wmb() that pairs with the smp_rmb() in the pull path -- but
never got the matching check. DEADLINE has no RT_PUSH_IPI path, so this
is the symmetric short-circuit only.
No functional change.
