Subject: [PATCH v2 14/17] sched/core: Compute steal values at regular intervals
Date: Wed, 8 Apr 2026 00:49:47 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260407191950.643549-15-sshegde@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260407191950.643549-1-sshegde@linux.ibm.com>
Kick off the work to compute the steal time at regular interval.
Gated with sched feature STEAL_MONITOR to avoid any overhead in systems
that are not interested in it.
The sampling period can configured at runtime using steal_mon_period.
By default is 1000 milliseconds. i.e. 1 second
This work is done by first online housekeeping CPU only. Hence it won't
need any complicated synchronization.
