D'oh, you're right, the per-cpu buckets don't need to be this big at
all. In fact, we flush those deltas out every 2 seconds when there is
activity to maintain the running averages. Since we get 4.2s worth of
nanoseconds into a u32, we don't even need to divide in the hotpath.
Something along the lines of this here should work:
static void psi_group_change(struct psi_group *group, int cpu, u64 now,
unsigned int clear, unsigned int set)
{
struct psi_group_cpu *groupc;
unsigned int *tasks;
unsigned int t;
u32 delta;
groupc = per_cpu_ptr(group->cpus, cpu);
tasks = groupc->tasks;
/* Time since last task change on this runqueue */
delta = now - groupc->last_time;
groupc->last_time = now;
/* Tasks waited for IO? */
if (tasks[NR_IOWAIT]) {
if (!tasks[NR_RUNNING])
groupc->full_time[PSI_IO] += delta;
else
groupc->some_time[PSI_IO] += delta;
}
/* Tasks waited for memory? */
if (tasks[NR_MEMSTALL]) {
if (!tasks[NR_RUNNING] ||
(cpu_curr(cpu)->flags & PF_MEMSTALL))
groupc->full_time[PSI_MEM] += delta;
else
groupc->some_time[PSI_MEM] += delta;
}
/* Tasks waited for the CPU? */
if (tasks[NR_RUNNING] > 1)
groupc->some_time[PSI_CPU] += delta;
/* Tasks were generally non-idle? To weigh the CPU in summaries */
if (tasks[NR_RUNNING] || tasks[NR_IOWAIT] || tasks[NR_MEMSTALL])
groupc->nonidle_time += delta;
/* Update task counts according to the set/clear bitmasks */
for (t = 0; clear; clear &= ~(1 << t), t++)
if (clear & (1 << t))
groupc->tasks[t]--;
for (t = 0; set; set &= ~(1 << t), t++)
if (set & (1 << t))
groupc->tasks[t]++;
/* Kick the stats aggregation worker if it's gone to sleep */
if (!delayed_work_pending(&group->clock_work))
schedule_delayed_work(&group->clock_work, PSI_FREQ);
}
And then we can pack it down to one cacheline:
struct psi_group_cpu {
/* States of the tasks belonging to this group */
unsigned int tasks[NR_PSI_TASK_COUNTS]; // 3
/* Time sampling bucket for pressure states - no FULL for CPU */
u32 some_time[NR_PSI_RESOURCES];
u32 full_time[NR_PSI_RESOURCES - 1];
/* Time sampling bucket for non-idle state (ns) */
u32 nonidle_time;
/* Time of last task change in this group (rq_clock) */
u64 last_time;
};
I'm going to go test with this.
Thanks
