Subject: [PATCH v2 12/13] sched/fair: Call update_util_est() after dequeue_entities()
Date: Mon, 4 May 2026 03:00:02 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260504020003.71306-13-qyousef@layalina.io> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260504020003.71306-1-qyousef@layalina.io>
update_util_est() reads task_util() at dequeue which is updated in
dequeue_entities(). To read the accurate util_avg at dequeue, make sure
to do the read after load_avg is updated in dequeue_entities().
util_est for a periodic task before
periodic-3114 util_est.enqueued running
