Subject: [PATCH 3/5] timer: Change idle/iowait accounting semantics
Date: Sat, 19 Oct 2013 17:17:19 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1382195841-6558-4-git-send-email-fweisbec@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1382195841-6558-1-git-send-email-fweisbec@gmail.com>
To prepare for fixing a race between iowait and idle time stats,
this patch changes the following semantics:
* iowait time is going to be accounted from the scheduler rather than
the dynticks idle code, lets remove it from the /proc/timer_list dump.
* idle sleeptime now also includes the iowait time for simplicity.
Its accounting was relying on nr_iowait_cpu() which made the whole
share of time accounting between idle and iowait very racy. So
accounting the whole sleeptime in ts->idle_sleeptime makes it more
simple and improve its correctness.
Given the semantic change of ts->idle_sleeptime, it results in another
ABI change on /proc/timer_list for this field.
/proc/stat and other callers of get_cpu_idle_time_us() and
get_cpu_iowait_time_us() are not concerned though because we maintain
the old ABI by substracting the iowait time from the idle time.
