Subject: [PATCH v4] sched/fair: Correctly insert cfs_rq's to list on unthrottle
Date: Fri,  4 Jun 2021 12:23:14 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210604102314.697749-1-odin@uged.al> (raw)

This fixes an issue where fairness is decreased since cfs_rq's can
end up not being decayed properly. For two sibling control groups with
the same priority, this can often lead to a load ratio of 99/1 (!!).

This happen because when a cfs_rq is throttled, all the descendant cfs_rq's
will be removed from the leaf list. When they initial cfs_rq is
unthrottled, it will currently only re add descendant cfs_rq's if they
have one or more entities enqueued. This is not a perfect heuristic.

Instead, we insert all cfs_rq's that contain one or more enqueued
entities, or it its load is not completely decayed.

Can often lead to situations like this for equally weighted control
groups:

$ ps u -C stress
USER         PID %CPU %MEM    VSZ   RSS TTY      STAT START   TIME COMMAND
root       10009 88.8  0.0   3676   100 pts/1    R+   11:04   0:13 stress --cpu 1
root       10023  3.0  0.0   3676   104 pts/1    R+   11:04   0:00 stress --cpu 1

Changes since v1:
 - Replaced cfs_rq field with using tg_load_avg_contrib
 - Went from 3 to 1 patches; one is merged and one is replaced
   by a new patchset.
Changes since v2:
 - Use !cfs_rq_is_decayed() instead of tg_load_avg_contrib
 - Moved cfs_rq_is_decayed to above its new use
Changes since v3:
 - (hopefully) Fix config for !CONFIG_SMP
