Subject: [RFC PATCH v3] sched/fair: select idle cpu from idle cpumask for task wakeup
From: Aubrey Li <aubrey.li@...el.com>
Added idle cpumask to track idle cpus in sched domain. When a CPU
enters idle, its corresponding bit in the idle cpumask will be set,
and when the CPU exits idle, its bit will be cleared.
When a task wakes up to select an idle cpu, scanning idle cpumask
has low cost than scanning all the cpus in last level cache domain,
especially when the system is heavily loaded.
v2->v3:
- change setting idle cpumask to every idle entry, otherwise schbench
has a regression of 99th percentile latency.
- change clearing idle cpumask to nohz_balancer_kick(), so updating
idle cpumask is ratelimited in the idle exiting path.
- set SCHED_IDLE cpu in idle cpumask to allow it as a wakeup target.
v1->v2:
- idle cpumask is updated in the nohz routines, by initializing idle
cpumask with sched_domain_span(sd), nohz=off case remains the original
behavior.
