[PATCH 2/2] sched/fair: Simplify util_est

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

 



With UTIL_EST_FASTUP now being permanent, we can take advantage of the
fact that the ewma jumps directly to a higher utilization at dequeue to
simplify util_est and remove the enqueued field.

- * struct util_est - Estimation utilization of FAIR tasks
- * @enqueued: instantaneous estimated utilization of a task/cpu
- * @ewma:     the Exponential Weighted Moving Average (EWMA)
- *            utilization of a task
- *
- * Support data structure to track an Exponential Weighted Moving Average
- * (EWMA) of a FAIR task's utilization. New samples are added to the moving
- * average each time a task completes an activation. Sample's weight is chosen
- * so that the EWMA will be relatively insensitive to transient changes to the
- * task's workload.
- *
- * The enqueued attribute has a slightly different meaning for tasks and cpus:
- * - task:   the task's util_avg at last task dequeue time
- * - cfs_rq: the sum of util_est.enqueued for each RUNNABLE task on that CPU
- * Thus, the util_est.enqueued of a task represents the contribution on the
- * estimated utilization of the CPU where that task is currently enqueued.
- *
- * Only for tasks we track a moving average of the past instantaneous
- * estimated utilization. This allows to absorb sporadic drops in utilization
- * of an otherwise almost periodic task.
- *
+/*
  * The UTIL_AVG_UNCHANGED flag is used to synchronize util_est with util_avg
  * updates. When a task is dequeued, its util_est should not be updated if its
  * util_avg has not been updated in the meantime.
- * This information is mapped into the MSB bit of util_est.enqueued at dequeue
- * time. Since max value of util_est.enqueued for a task is 1024 (PELT util_avg
- * for a task) it is safe to use MSB.
