[PATCH 2/2 v3] sched: Rewrite per entity runnable load average tracking

From: Yuyang Du
Date: Wed Jul 16 2014 - 05:54:07 EST


The idea of per entity runnable load average (let runnable time contribute to load
weight) was proposed by Paul Turner, and it is still followed by this rewrite. This
rewrite is done due to the following ends:

1. cfs_rq's load average (namely runnable_load_avg and blocked_load_avg) is updated
at the granularity of one entity at one time, which results in the cfs_rq load
average is partially updated or asynchronous across its entities: at any time,
only one entity is up to date and contributes to the cfs_rq, all other entities
are effectively lagging behind.

2. cfs_rq load average is different between top rq->cfs_rq and other task_group's
per CPU cfs_rqs in whether or not blocked_load_average contributes to the load.

3. How task_group's load is calculated is complex.

This rewrite tackles these by:

1. Combine runnable and blocked load averages for cfs_rq. And track cfs_rq's load
average as a whole.

2. Track task entity load average for carrying it between CPUs in migration, cfs_rq
and its own entity load averages are tracked together.

3. All task, cfs_rq/group_entity, and task_group have a consistent and synchronized
load_avg.

This rewrite in principle is equivalent to the previous in functionality, but
significantly reduces code coplexity and hence increases efficiency and clarity.

In addition, the new load_avg is much more smooth/continuous (no abrupt jumping ups
and downs) and decayed/updated more quickly and synchronously to reflect the load
dynamic.
