Subject: Re: [PATCH 3/6] sched: Restore preferred CPUs when hotplug removes the last one
Date: Sun, 01 Nov 2026 19:32:48 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <sashiko-outbox-192615@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261101192203.6979-4-ynorov@nvidia.com>
> Offlining the last preferred CPU leaves cpu_preferred_mask empty. Normal
> fair load balancing stops, potentially leaving CPUs idle while tasks
> remain queued.
>
> Currently, the steal governor is the only module that may modify the mask,
> so it takes care of this by resetting the mask to mirror the active
> cpumask, but stops sampling after that.
>
> This series adds more ways to control the preferred cpumask, so steal
> governor may not be active.
>
> Restore all remaining active CPUs as preferred in sched_cpu_deactivate()
> path, without relying on the steal governor to recover.
