Yeah, so I believe we may have been talking past each other for past 
versions of this patch: why is this patch modifying the order of the 
modification to group->rtpoll_next_update?

It should do the below sequence, nothing more - see the patch attached 
below. This is basically a combination of patches #2 and #3.

And then the final patch removes the now superfluous 'update_total' 
parameter, which is always true.

Here are the commits I applied to tip:sched/core:

  e03dc9fa0663 sched/psi: Change update_triggers() to a 'void' function
  ...
  80cc1d1d5ee3 sched/psi: Avoid updating PSI triggers and ->rtpoll_total when there are no state changes
  3657680f38cd sched/psi: Delete the 'update_total' function parameter from update_triggers()

I rewrote the changelogs for readability.

Thanks,

	Ingo

Subject: [PATCH] sched/psi: Avoid updating PSI triggers and ->rtpoll_total when there are no state changes

When psimon wakes up and there are no state changes for ->rtpoll_states,
it's unnecessary to update triggers and ->rtpoll_total because the pressures
being monitored by the user have not changed.

This will help to slightly reduce unnecessary computations of PSI.
