Hazem reported a 30% drop in UnixBench spawn test with commit eff6c8ce8d4d ("sched/core: Reduce cost of sched_move_task when config autogroup") on a m6g.xlarge AWS EC2 instance with 4 vCPUs and 16 GiB RAM (aarch64) (single level MC sched domain): https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20250205151026.13061-1-hagarhem@xxxxxxxxxx There is an early bail from sched_move_task() if p->sched_task_group is equal to p's 'cpu cgroup' (sched_get_task_group()). E.g. both are pointing to taskgroup '/user.slice/user-1000.slice/session-1.scope' (Ubuntu '22.04.5 LTS'). So in: do_exit() sched_autogroup_exit_task() sched_move_task() if sched_get_task_group(p) == p->sched_task_group return /* p is enqueued */ dequeue_task() \ sched_change_group() | task_change_group_fair() | detach_task_cfs_rq() | (1) set_task_rq() | attach_task_cfs_rq() | enqueue_task() / (1) isn't called for p anymore. Turns out that the regression is related to sgs->group_util in group_is_overloaded() and group_has_capacity(). If (1) isn't called for all the 'spawn' tasks then sgs->group_util is ~900 and sgs->group_capacity = 1024 (single CPU sched domain) and this leads to group_is_overloaded() returning true (2) and group_has_capacity() false (3) much more often compared to the case when (1) is called. I.e. there are much more cases of 'group_is_overloaded' and 'group_fully_busy' in WF_FORK wakeup sched_balance_find_dst_cpu() which then returns much more often a CPU != smp_processor_id() (5). This isn't good for these extremely short running tasks (FORK + EXIT) and also involves calling sched_balance_find_dst_group_cpu() unnecessary (single CPU sched domain). Instead if (1) is called for 'p->flags & PF_EXITING' then the path (4),(6) is taken much more often. select_task_rq_fair(..., wake_flags = WF_FORK) cpu = smp_processor_id() new_cpu = sched_balance_find_dst_cpu(..., cpu, ...) group = sched_balance_find_dst_group(..., cpu) do { update_sg_wakeup_stats() sgs->group_type = group_classify() if group_is_overloaded() (2) return group_overloaded if !group_has_capacity() (3) return group_fully_busy return group_has_spare (4) } while group if local_sgs.group_type > idlest_sgs.group_type return idlest (5) case group_has_spare: if local_sgs.idle_cpus >= idlest_sgs.idle_cpus return NULL (6) Unixbench Tests './Run -c 4 spawn' on: (a) VM AWS instance (m7gd.16xlarge) with v6.13 ('maxcpus=4 nr_cpus=4') and Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS (aarch64).
