[PATCH v3 05/10] sched/psi: optimize task switch inside shared cgroups again

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



commit 4117cebf1a9f ("psi: Optimize task switch inside shared cgroups")
defer prev task sleep handling to psi_task_switch(), so we don't need
to clear and set TSK_ONCPU state for common cgroups.

    A
    |
    B
   / \
  C   D
 /     \
prev   next

After that commit psi_task_switch() do:
1. psi_group_change(next, .set=TSK_ONCPU) for D
2. psi_group_change(prev, .clear=TSK_ONCPU | TSK_RUNNING) for C
3. psi_group_change(prev, .clear=TSK_RUNNING) for B, A

But there is a limitation "prev->psi_flags == next->psi_flags" that
if not satisfied, will make this cgroups optimization unusable for both
sleep switch or running switch cases. For example:

prev->in_memstall != next->in_memstall when sleep switch:
1. psi_group_change(next, .set=TSK_ONCPU) for D, B, A
2. psi_group_change(prev, .clear=TSK_ONCPU | TSK_RUNNING) for C, B, A

prev->in_memstall != next->in_memstall when running switch:
1. psi_group_change(next, .set=TSK_ONCPU) for D, B, A
2. psi_group_change(prev, .clear=TSK_ONCPU) for C, B, A

The reason why this limitation exist is that we consider a group is
PSI_MEM_FULL if the CPU is actively reclaiming and nothing productive
could run even if it were runnable. So when CPU curr changed from prev
to next and their in_memstall status is different, we have to change
PSI_MEM_FULL status for their common cgroups.

This patch remove this limitation by making psi_group_change() change
PSI_MEM_FULL status depend on CPU curr->in_memstall status.
