Subject: [Patch v4 13/22] sched/cache: Add migrate_llc_task migration type for cache-aware balancing
Date: Wed, 1 Apr 2026 14:52:25 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <b9df27c19cc5121ddb2a7d1be7f9d52fec1563dc.1775065312.git.tim.c.chen@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1775065312.git.tim.c.chen@linux.intel.com>
Introduce a new migration type, migrate_llc_task, to support
cache-aware load balancing.
After identifying the busiest sched_group (having the most tasks
preferring the destination LLC), mark migrations with this type.
During load balancing, each runqueue in the busiest sched_group is
examined, and the runqueue with the highest number of tasks preferring
the destination CPU is selected as the busiest runqueue.
