Subject: [RFC PATCH 3/4] sched/fair: delay update_tg_load_avg() for cfs_rq's removed load
When a workload involves many wake time task migrations, tg->load_avg
can be heavily contended among CPUs because every migration involves
removing the task's load from its src cfs_rq and attach that load to
its new cfs_rq. Both the remove and attach requires an update to
tg->load_avg as well as propagating the change up the hierarchy.
E.g. when running postgres_sysbench on a 2sockets/112cores/224cpus Intel
Sappire Rapids, during a 5s window, the wakeup number is 14millions and
migration number is 11millions. Since the workload can trigger many
wakeups and migrations, the access(both read and write) to tg->load_avg
can be unbound. For the above said workload, the profile shows
update_cfs_group() costs ~13% and update_load_avg() costs ~10%. With
netperf/nr_client=nr_cpu/UDP_RR, the wakeup number is 21millions and
migration number is 14millions; update_cfs_group() costs ~25% and
update_load_avg() costs ~16%.
This patch is an attempt to reduce the cost of accessing tg->load_avg.
Current logic will immediately do a update_tg_load_avg() if cfs_rq has
removed load; this patch changes this behavior: if this cfs_rq has
removed load as discovered by update_cfs_rq_load_avg(), it didn't call
update_tg_load_avg() or propagate the removed load immediately, instead,
the update to tg->load_avg and propagated load can be dealed with by a
following event like task attached to this cfs_rq or in
update_blocked_averages(). This way, the call to update_tg_load_avg()
for this cfs_rq and its ancestors can be reduced by about half.
