sched/core: Fix find_idlest_group() for fork
During fork, the utilization of a task is init once the rq has been selected because the current utilization level of the rq is used to set the utilization of the fork task. As the task's utilization is still 0 at this step of the fork sequence, it doesn't make sense to look for some spare capacity that can fit the task's utilization. Furthermore, I can see perf regressions for the test: hackbench -P -g 1 because the least loaded policy is always bypassed and tasks are not spread during fork. With this patch and the fix below, we are back to same performances as for v4.8. The fix below is only a temporary one used for the test until a smarter solution is found because we can't simply remove the test which is useful for others benchmarks | @@ -5708,13 +5708,6 @@ static int select_idle_cpu(struct task_struct *p, struct sched_domain *sd, int t | | avg_cost = this_sd->avg_scan_cost; | | - /* | - * Due to large variance we need a large fuzz factor; hackbench in | - * particularly is sensitive here. | - */ | - if ((avg_idle / 512) < avg_cost) | - return -1; | - | time = local_clock(); | | for_each_cpu_wrap(cpu, sched_domain_span(sd), target, wrap) { Tested-by: Matt Fleming <matt@codeblueprint.co.uk> Signed-off-by: Vincent Guittot <vincent.guittot@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Reviewed-by: Matt Fleming <matt@codeblueprint.co.uk> Acked-by: Morten Rasmussen <morten.rasmussen@arm.com> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: dietmar.eggemann@arm.com Cc: kernellwp@gmail.com Cc: umgwanakikbuti@gmail.com Cc: yuyang.du@intel.comc Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1481216215-24651-2-git-send-email-vincent.guittot@linaro.org Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
