Subject: [RFC PATCH v4 08/28] sched: Set up LLC indexing
Date: Sat, 9 Aug 2025 13:03:24 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <959d897daadc28b8115c97df04eec2af0fd79c5d.1754712565.git.tim.c.chen@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1754712565.git.tim.c.chen@linux.intel.com>
From: Tim Chen <tim.c.chen@linux.intel.com>
Prepare for indexing arrays that track in each run queue: the number
of tasks preferring current LLC and each of the other LLC.
The reason to introduce LLC index is because the per LLC-scope data
is needed to do cache aware load balancing. However, the native lld_id
is usually the first CPU of that LLC domain, which is not continuous,
which might waste the space if the per LLC-scope data is stored
in an array (in current implementation).
In the future, this LLC index could be removed after
the native llc_id is used as the key to search into xarray based
array.
