From 3967da2dd1f97b8d558207d8d720d699aca3d566 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Srivatsa Vaddagiri Date: Sat, 29 Mar 2014 11:40:16 -0700 Subject: sched: Window-based load stat improvements Some tasks can have a sporadic load pattern such that they can suddenly start running for longer intervals of time after running for shorter durations. To recognize such sharp increase in tasks' demands, max between the average of 5 window load samples and the most recent sample is chosen as the task demand. Make the window size (sched_ravg_window) configurable at boot up time. To prevent users from setting inappropriate values for window size, min and max limits are defined. As 'ravg' struct tracks load for both real-time and non real-time tasks it is moved out of sched_entity struct. In order to prevent changing function signatures for move_tasks() and move_one_task() per-cpu variables are defined to track the total load moved. In case multiple tasks are selected to migrate in one load balance operation, loads > 100 could be sent through migration notifiers. Prevent this scenario by setting mnd.load to 100 in such cases. Define wrapper functions to compute cpu demands for tasks and to change rq->cumulative_runnable_avg.
