Subject: [PATCH v7 1/1] sched: update the rq->avg_idle when a task is moved to an idle CPU
Date: Fri, 26 Dec 2025 14:32:03 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251226063203.5947-2-shijie8@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251226063203.5947-1-shijie8@gmail.com>
In the newidle balance, the rq->idle_stamp may set to a non-zero value
if it cannot pull any task.
In the wakeup, it will detect the rq->idle_stamp, and updates
the rq->avg_idle, then ends the CPU idle status by setting rq->idle_stamp
to zero.
Besides the wakeup, current code does not end the CPU idle status
when a task is moved to the idle CPU, such as fork/clone, execve,
or other cases. In order to get more accurate rq->avg_idle,
we need to update it at more places(not only the wakeup).
This patch introduces a helper: update_rq_avg_idle().
And uses it in put_prev_task_idle(), so it will update the rq->avg_idle
when a task is moved to an idle CPU at:
-- wakeup
-- fork/clone
-- execve
-- idle balance
-- other cases
