Subject: [RFC PATCH 07/19] sched/fair: Account idle cpus instead of busy cpus in sd->shared
Date: Thu, 4 Sep 2025 04:15:03 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250904041516.3046-8-kprateek.nayak@amd.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250904041516.3046-1-kprateek.nayak@amd.com>
Switch to keeping track of "sd->shared->nr_idle_cpus" instead of
"nr_busy_cpus". Since previous commit corrected the "sd->nohz_idle"
state during sched domain rebuild, the nr_idle_cpus will reflect the
correct number of idle CPUs.
The idle CPUs accounting will be used for nohz idle balance in the
subsequent commits.
Races are possible during hotplug / cpuset where "nr_idle_cpus" might
be incorrectly accounted if the CPU enters exits out of nohz idle state
between the read of "rq->nohz_tick_stopped" and the subsequent update of
"sd->nohz_idle" in the hotplug path but these inaccuracies are transient
and will be corrected when the CPU enters idle or receives a tick.
CPU0 (hotplug) CPU1 (exits nohz idle)
============== ======================
online()
if (rq->nohz_tick_stopped) /* True */
... rq->nohz_tick_stopped = 0
... set_cpu_sd_state_busy()
...
set_cpu_sd_state_idle()
These situations are rare and should not have any long-term effect on
the nohz idle balancing since there isn't a case where a nohz idle CPU
is not set on the mask - either the hotplug thread sees that
"rq->nohz_tick_stopped" is set or the CPU going idle sees the updated
sched_domain hierarchy.
After the conversion, all the bits that use "nr_idle_cpus" are already
guarded behind CONFIG_NO_HZ_COMMON which makes it convenient to put the
declaration behind CONFIG_NO_HZ_COMMON as well.
