Below are two examples to illustrate the problem that this patch solves: 1 - capacity_factor makes the assumption that max capacity of a CPU is SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE and the load of a thread is always is SCHED_LOAD_SCALE. It compares the output of these figures with the sum of nr_running to decide if a group is overloaded or not. But if the default capacity of a CPU is less than SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE (640 as an example), a group of 3 CPUS will have a max capacity_factor of 2 ( div_round_closest(3x640/1024) = 2) which means that it will be seen as overloaded if we have only one task per CPU. 2 - Then, if the default capacity of a CPU is greater than SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE (1512 as an example), a group of 4 CPUs will have a capacity_factor of 4 (at max and thanks to the fix [0] for SMT system that prevent the apparition of ghost CPUs) but if one CPU is fully used by rt tasks (and its capacity is reduced to nearly nothing), the capacity factor of the group will still be 4 (div_round_closest(3*1512/1024) = 5 which is cap to 4 with [0]). So, this patch tries to solve this issue by removing capacity_factor and replacing it with the 2 following metrics : -The available CPU's capacity for CFS tasks which is already used by load_balance. -The usage of the CPU by the CFS tasks. For the latter, I have re-introduced the utilization_avg_contrib which is used to compute the usage of a CPU by CFS tasks. Finally, the sched_group->sched_group_capacity->capacity_orig has been removed because it's no more used during load balance.
