As a sidenote, this will note generate more spurious ilb because we already trig an ilb if there is more than 1 busy cpu. If this cpu is the only one that has a task, we will trig the ilb once for migrating the task. The nohz_kick_needed function has been cleaned up a bit while adding the new test env.src_cpu and env.src_rq must be set unconditionnaly because they are used in need_active_balance which is called even if busiest->nr_running equals 1 Signed-off-by: Vincent Guittot --- kernel/sched/fair.c | 70 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--------------- 1 file changed, 50 insertions(+), 20 deletions(-) diff --git a/kernel/sched/fair.c b/kernel/sched/fair.c index c3674da..9075dee 100644 --- a/kernel/sched/fair.c +++ b/kernel/sched/fair.c @@ -5896,6 +5896,18 @@ fix_small_capacity(struct sched_domain *sd, struct sched_group *group) } /* + * Check whether the capacity of the rq has been noticeably reduced by side + * activity.
