There already are a few conditions in nohz_kick_needed() to ensure a nohz kick is triggered, but they are not enough for some misfit task scenarios. Excluding asym packing, those are: - rq->nr_running >=2: Not relevant here because we are running a misfit task, it needs to be migrated regardless and potentially through active balance. - sds->nr_busy_cpus > 1: If there is only the misfit task being run on a group of low capacity CPUs, this will be evaluated to False. - rq->cfs.h_nr_running >=1 && check_cpu_capacity(): Not relevant here, misfit task needs to be migrated regardless of rt/IRQ pressure As such, this commit adds an rq->misfit_task_load condition to trigger a nohz kick. The idea to kick a nohz balance for misfit tasks originally came from Leo Yan <leo.yan@linaro.org>, and a similar patch was submitted for the Android Common Kernel - see: https://lists.linaro.org/pipermail/eas-dev/2016-September/000551.html Signed-off-by: Valentin Schneider <valentin.schneider@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Morten Rasmussen <morten.rasmussen@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> 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: gaku.inami.xh@renesas.com Cc: vincent.guittot@linaro.org Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1530699470-29808-6-git-send-email-morten.rasmussen@arm.com Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> |

README
Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
