Subject: [RFC PATCH v4 11/28] sched: Introduce per runqueue task LLC preference counter
Date: Sat,  9 Aug 2025 13:04:18 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <fc52347ecefb756cb3a9a7d90874e7c502fa55e0.1754712565.git.tim.c.chen@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1754712565.git.tim.c.chen@linux.intel.com>

From: Tim Chen <tim.c.chen@linux.intel.com>

Each runqueue is assigned a static array, where each element indicates
the number of tasks preferring a particular LLC mapped to the
array index.

For example, rq->nr_pref_llc[3] = 2 signifies that there are 2 tasks on
this runqueue which prefer to run within LLC3 (indexed from 0 to MAX_LLC
across the entire system). With this information, the load balancer can
make better decisions to select the busiest runqueue and migrate tasks
to their preferred LLC domains.

Note: The static array could be converted to an xarray in the future.
