Subject: [Patch v4 11/16] sched/cache: Fix checking active load balance by only considering the CFS task
Date: Wed, 13 May 2026 13:39:22 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <f9161133cf040d286dca11344a112c5ef2a5253d.1778703694.git.tim.c.chen@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1778703694.git.tim.c.chen@linux.intel.com>
From: Chen Yu <yu.c.chen@intel.com>
The currently running task cur may not be a CFS task, such as
an RT or Deadline task. For non-CFS tasks, the task_util(cur)
utilization average is not maintained, so this might pass a
stale or meaningless value to can_migrate_llc().
Check if the task is CFS before getting its task_util().
This bug was reported by sashiko.
Fixes: 714059f79ff0 ("sched/cache: Handle moving single tasks to/from their preferred LLC")
