From 2802bf3cd936fe2c8033a696d375a4d9d3974de4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Morten Rasmussen Date: Mon, 3 Dec 2018 09:56:25 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] sched/fair: Add over-utilization/tipping point indicator Energy-aware scheduling is only meant to be active while the system is _not_ over-utilized. That is, there are spare cycles available to shift tasks around based on their actual utilization to get a more energy-efficient task distribution without depriving any tasks. When above the tipping point task placement is done the traditional way based on load_avg, spreading the tasks across as many cpus as possible based on priority scaled load to preserve smp_nice. Below the tipping point we want to use util_avg instead. We need to define a criteria for when we make the switch. The util_avg for each cpu converges towards 100% regardless of how many additional tasks we may put on it. If we define over-utilized as: sum_{cpus}(rq.cfs.avg.util_avg) + margin > sum_{cpus}(rq.capacity) some individual cpus may be over-utilized running multiple tasks even when the above condition is false. That should be okay as long as we try to spread the tasks out to avoid per-cpu over-utilization as much as possible and if all tasks have the _same_ priority. If the latter isn't true, we have to consider priority to preserve smp_nice. For example, we could have n_cpus nice=-10 util_avg=55% tasks and n_cpus/2 nice=0 util_avg=60% tasks. Balancing based on util_avg we are likely to end up with nice=-10 tasks sharing cpus and nice=0 tasks getting their own as we 1.5*n_cpus tasks in total and 55%+55% is less over-utilized than 55%+60% for those cpus that have to be shared. The system utilization is only 85% of the system capacity, but we are breaking smp_nice. To be sure not to break smp_nice, we have defined over-utilization conservatively as when any cpu in the system is fully utilized at its highest frequency instead: cpu_rq(any).cfs.avg.util_avg + margin > cpu_rq(any).capacity IOW, as soon as one cpu is (nearly) 100% utilized, we switch to load_avg to factor in priority to preserve smp_nice. With this definition, we can skip periodic load-balance as no cpu has an always-running task when the system is not over-utilized. All tasks will be periodic and we can balance them at wake-up. This conservative condition does however mean that some scenarios that could benefit from energy-aware decisions even if one cpu is fully utilized would not get those benefits. For systems where some cpus might have reduced capacity on some cpus (RT-pressure and/or big.LITTLE), we want periodic load-balance checks as soon a just a single cpu is fully utilized as it might one of those with reduced capacity and in that case we want to migrate it.
