Subject: Re: [PATCH 10/24] sched/uclamg: Handle delayed dequeue
Hi Peter,
Sorry for bombarding this thread in the last couple of days. I'm seeing
several issues in the latest tip/sched/core after these patches landed.
What I'm now seeing seems to be an unbalanced util_est. First, I applied
the following diff to warn against util_est != 0 when no tasks are on
the queue:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/752ae417c02b9277ca3ec18893747c54dd5f277f.1724245193.git.hongyan.xia2@arm.com/
Then, I'm reliably seeing warnings on my Juno board during boot in
latest tip/sched/core.
If I do the same thing to util_est just like what you did in this uclamp
patch, like this:

if (dequeue_entities(rq, &p->se, flags) < 0) {
if (!rq->cfs.h_nr_running)
which is basically enqueuing util_est after enqueue_task_fair(),
dequeuing util_est before dequeue_task_fair() and double check
p->se.delayed_dequeue, then the unbalanced issue seems to go away.
Hopefully this helps you in finding where the problem could be.
