Subject: [PATCH 3/6] psi: eliminate lazy clock mode
From: Johannes Weiner <hannes@...xchg.org>
psi currently stops its periodic 2s aggregation runs when there has
not been any task activity, and wakes it back up later from the
scheduler when the system returns from the idle state.
The coordination between the aggregation worker and the scheduler is
minimal: the scheduler has to nudge the worker if it's not running,
and the worker will reschedule itself periodically until it detects no
more activity.
The polling patches will complicate this, because they introduce
another aggregation mode for high-frequency polling that also
eventually times out if the worker sees no more activity of interest.
That means the scheduler portion would have to coordinate three state
transitions - idle to regular, regular to polling, idle to polling -
with the worker's timeouts and self-rescheduling. The additional
overhead from this is undesirable in the scheduler hotpath.
Eliminate the idle mode and keep the worker doing 2s update intervals
at all times. This eliminates worker coordination from the scheduler
completely. The polling patches will then add it back to switch
between regular mode and high-frequency polling mode.
