Subject: [PATCH v2 5/6] sched/rt: Better manage pushing unfit tasks on wakeup
Date:   Sun, 23 Feb 2020 18:40:00 +0000
Message-Id: <20200223184001.14248-6-qais.yousef@arm.com>
In-Reply-To: <20200223184001.14248-1-qais.yousef@arm.com>
References: <20200223184001.14248-1-qais.yousef@arm.com>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

On wakeup, if a task doesn't fit the CPU it is running on (due to its
uclamp_min value), then we trigger the push mechanism to try to find a
more suitable CPU.

But the logic introduced in commit 804d402fb6f6 ("sched/rt: Make RT capacity-aware")
was incomplete. If the rq isn't overloaded, push_rt_task() will bail out
immediately.

Steve suggested using the overloaded flag to force the push, but as
Pavan pointed out this could cause a lot of unnecessary IPIs in case of
HAVE_RT_PUSH_IPI.

To still allow pushing unfitting task ASAP, but without causing a lot of
disturbance in case this is not possible (no available CPU that is
running at a lower priority level), introduce a new rt_nr_unfitting in
struct rt_rq and use that to manage how hard we try to push an unfitting
task in push_rt_task().

If the task is pinned to a single CPU, we won't inc rt_nr_unfitting,
hence skipping the push in this case.

Also there's no need to force a push on switched_to_rt(). On the next
wakeup we should handle it which should suffice.

Fixes: 804d402fb6f6 ("sched/rt: Make RT capacity-aware")
