Subject: Re: [PATCH 5/6] sched, fair: Make group power more consitent

Hi Peter,

I have a few comments and clarification to seek.

1. How are you ensuring from this patch that sgs->group_power does not
change over the course of load balancing?

    The only path to update_group_power() where sg->sgp->power gets
updated, is from update_sg_lb_stats(). You are updating sgs->group_power
in update_sg_lb_stats(). Any change to group->sgp->power will get
reflected in sgs->group_power as well right?

2. This point is aside from your patch. In the current implementation,
each time the cpu power gets updated in update_cpu_power(), should not
the power of the sched_groups comprising of that cpu also get updated?
Why wait till the load balancing is done at the sched_domain level of
that group, to update its group power?

Regards
Preeti U Murthy
