[PATCH -tip 15/32] sched: Improve snapshotting of min_vruntime for CGroups

From: Joel Fernandes (Google)
Date: Tue Nov 17 2020 - 18:21:56 EST


A previous patch improved cross-cpu vruntime comparison opertations in
pick_next_task(). Improve it further for tasks in CGroups.

In particular, for cross-CPU comparisons, we were previously going to
the root-level se(s) for both the task being compared. That was strange.
This patch instead finds the se(s) for both tasks that have the same
parent (which may be different from root).

A note about the min_vruntime snapshot and force idling:
Abbreviations: fi: force-idled now? ; fib: force-idled before?
During selection:
When we're not fi, we need to update snapshot.
when we're fi and we were not fi, we must update snapshot.
When we're fi and we were already fi, we must not update snapshot.

Which gives:
fib fi update?
0 0 1
0 1 1
1 0 1
1 1 0
So the min_vruntime snapshot needs to be updated when: !(fib && fi).

Also, the cfs_prio_less() function needs to be aware of whether the core
is in force idle or not, since it will be use this information to know
whether to advance a cfs_rq's min_vruntime_fi in the hierarchy. So pass
this information along via pick_task() -> prio_less().
