From 10a35e6812aa0953f02a956c499d23fe4e68af4a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vincent Guittot Date: Wed, 23 Jan 2019 16:26:54 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] sched/pelt: Skip updating util_est when utilization is higher than CPU's capacity util_est is mainly meant to be a lower-bound for tasks utilization. That's why task_util_est() returns the actual util_avg when it's higher than the estimated utilization. With new invaraince signal and without any special check on samples collection, if a task is limited because of thermal capping for example, we could end up overestimating its utilization and thus perhaps generating an unwanted frequency spike when the capping is relaxed... and (even worst) it will take some more activations for the estimated utilization to converge back to the actual utilization. Since we cannot easily know if there is idle time in a CPU when a task completes an activation with a utilization higher then the CPU capacity, we skip the sampling when utilization is higher than CPU's capacity.
