Subject: [RFC PATCH 4/6] sched/fair: Rewrite util_fits_cpu()
From: Hongyan Xia <hongyan.xia2@....com>
Currently, there's no way to distinguish the difference between 1) a CPU
that is actually maxed out at its highest frequency, or 2) one that is
throttled because of UCLAMP_MAX, since both present util_avg values of
1024. This is problematic because when we try to pick a CPU for a task
to run, we would like to give 2) a chance, or at least prefer 2) to 1).
Current upstream gives neither a chance because the spare capacity is 0
for either case. There are patches to fix this problem by considering 0
capacities [1], but this might still be inefficient because this ends
up treating 1) and 2) equally, and will always pick the same one because
we don't change how we iterate through all CPUs. If we end up putting
many tasks on 1), then this creates a seriously unbalanced load for the
two CPUs.
Fix by using util_avg_uclamp for util_fits_cpu(). This way, case 1) will
still keep its utilization at 1024 whereas 2) shows spare capacities if
the sum of util_avg_uclamp values is still under the CPU capacity.
Note that this is roughly what the sum aggregation does in the Android
kernel [2] (although we clamp UCLAMP_MIN as well in this patch, which
may need some discussions), which shows superior energy savings because
there's more chance that a task can get scheduled on 2) instead of
finding a big CPU to run on.
Under sum aggregation, checking whether a task fits a CPU becomes much
simpler. We simply do fits_capacity() and there does not need to be code
checking all corner cases for uclamp. This means util_fits_cpu() returns
to true and false instead of tri-state, simplifying a significant amount
of code.
