But like stated earlier, doing an update in scheduler_tick() is probably easier. > +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 t, m; > + u32 delta; > + > + groupc = per_cpu_ptr(group->pcpu, cpu); > + > + /* > + * First we assess the aggregate resource states these CPU's > + * tasks have been in since the last change, and account any > + * SOME and FULL time that may have resulted in. > + * > + * Then we update the task counts according to the state > + * change requested through the @clear and @set bits. > + */ > + > + delta = now - groupc->state_start; > + groupc->state_start = now; > + > + /* > + * Update state_start before recording time in the sampling > + * buckets and changing task counts, to prevent a racing > + * aggregation from counting the delta twice or attributing it > + * to an old state. > + */ > + smp_wmb(); > + > + if (test_state(groupc->tasks, cpu, PSI_IO_SOME)) { > + groupc->times[PSI_IO_SOME] += delta; > + if (test_state(groupc->tasks, cpu, PSI_IO_FULL)) > + groupc->times[PSI_IO_FULL] += delta; > + } > + if (test_state(groupc->tasks, cpu, PSI_MEM_SOME)) { > + groupc->times[PSI_MEM_SOME] += delta; > + if (test_state(groupc->tasks, cpu, PSI_MEM_FULL)) > + groupc->times[PSI_MEM_FULL] += delta; > + } Might we worth checking the compiler does the right thing here and optimizes this branch fest into something sensible. > + if (test_state(groupc->tasks, cpu, PSI_CPU_SOME)) > + groupc->times[PSI_CPU_SOME] += delta; > + if (test_state(groupc->tasks, cpu, PSI_NONIDLE)) > + groupc->times[PSI_NONIDLE] += delta;
