Subject: [PATCH 4/5] sched/fair: Add SIS_UTIL support to select_idle_capacity()
Date: Thu, 23 Apr 2026 09:36:48 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260423074135.380390-5-arighi@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260423074135.380390-1-arighi@nvidia.com>
From: K Prateek Nayak <kprateek.nayak@amd.com>
Add to select_idle_capacity() the same SIS_UTIL-controlled idle-scan
mechanism, already used by select_idle_cpu(): when sched_feat(SIS_UTIL)
is enabled and the LLC domain has sched_domain_shared data, derive the
per-attempt scan limit from sd->shared->nr_idle_scan.
That bounds the walk on large LLCs and allows an early return once the
scan limit is reached, if we already picked a sufficiently strong
idle-core candidate (best_fits == -4).
