From: Srivatsa Vaddagiri The idea was to balance groups until we've reached the global goal, however Vatsa rightly pointed out that we might never reach that goal this way - hence take out this logic. [ the initial rationale for this 'feature' was to promote max concurrency within a group - it does not however affect fairness ] Reported-by: Srivatsa Vaddagiri Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra --- kernel/sched_fair.c | 15 ++------------- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 13 deletions(-) Index: linux-2.6/kernel/sched_fair.c =================================================================== --- linux-2.6.orig/kernel/sched_fair.c +++ linux-2.6/kernel/sched_fair.c @@ -1427,9 +1427,7 @@ load_balance_fair(struct rq *this_rq, in rcu_read_lock(); list_for_each_entry(tg, &task_groups, list) { - long imbalance; - unsigned long this_weight, busiest_weight; - long rem_load, max_load, moved_load; + long rem_load, moved_load; /* * empty group @@ -1440,17 +1438,8 @@ load_balance_fair(struct rq *this_rq, in rem_load = rem_load_move * aggregate(tg, this_cpu)->rq_weight; rem_load /= aggregate(tg, this_cpu)->load + 1; - this_weight = tg->cfs_rq[this_cpu]->task_weight; - busiest_weight = tg->cfs_rq[busiest_cpu]->task_weight; - - imbalance = (busiest_weight - this_weight) / 2; - - if (imbalance < 0) - imbalance = busiest_weight; - - max_load = max(rem_load, imbalance); moved_load = __load_balance_fair(this_rq, this_cpu, busiest, - max_load, sd, idle, all_pinned, this_best_prio, + rem_load, sd, idle, all_pinned, this_best_prio, tg->cfs_rq[busiest_cpu]); if (!moved_load) -- -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
