Subject: [PATCH v2 6/6] sched/cache: Refresh LLC capacity across CPU hotplug
Date: Mon, 21 Sep 2026 17:37:27 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <6751d93e15889e624796c74db0bfe66603d60b1b.1790035273.git.tim.c.chen@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1790035273.git.tim.c.chen@linux.intel.com>
From: Davi Chaves Azevedo <davichazbh@gmail.com>
The scheduler scales LLC capacity by the fraction of cache-sharing CPUs
covered by a domain:
llc_bytes = cache_size * span_weight / shared_weight
During CPU teardown, sched_cpu_deactivate() rebuilds scheduler domains
before cacheinfo_cpu_pre_down() removes the CPU from shared_cpu_map. The
new domains therefore use the old sharing weight. The later call to
sched_update_llc_bytes() looks up the departing CPU's sd_llc, which has
already been detached, and returns without correcting the surviving CPUs.
On a Ryzen 5 7535U with twelve logical CPUs sharing a 16 MiB LLC,
offlining one SMT sibling left the remaining CPUs with:
llc_bytes = floor(16777216 * 11 / 12) = 15379114 bytes
The correct capacity is still 16777216 bytes. On systems with active
cache-aware scheduling, an underestimated capacity can cause
exceed_llc_capacity() to reject aggregation for a process whose footprint
would fit. Unchanged cpuset partitions sharing the physical cache can
also retain stale capacity when a CPU comes online in another partition.
Pass the cache-sharing mask already retained by cacheinfo to the
scheduler update. Refresh every surviving CPU using its own LLC domain
so that each partition receives the correct share. This also preserves
the correction needed as cache-sharing maps grow during boot.
Keep the existing CPU-hotplug and scheduler-domain synchronization. The
update remains on the hotplug path; no steady-state scheduling operation
or persistent allocation is added.
Fixes: 7030513a0877 ("sched/cache: Calculate the LLC size and store it in sched_domain")
