This patch adds a parameter to select_task_rq, sibling_count_hint
allowing the caller, where it has this information, to inform the
sched_class the number of tasks that are being woken up as part of
the same event.
The wake_q mechanism is one case where this information is available.
select_task_rq_fair can then use the information to detect that it
needs to widen the search space for task placement in order to avoid
overloading the last-level cache domain's CPUs.
* * *
The reason I am investigating this change is the following use case
on ARM big.LITTLE (asymmetrical CPU capacity): 1 task per CPU, which
all repeatedly do X amount of work then
pthread_barrier_wait (i.e. sleep until the last task finishes its X
and hits the barrier). On big.LITTLE, the tasks which get a "big" CPU
finish faster, and then those CPUs pull over the tasks that are still
running:
v CPU v ->time->
-------------
0 (big) 11111 /333
-------------
1 (big) 22222 /444|
-------------
2 (LITTLE) 333333/
-------------
3 (LITTLE) 444444/
-------------
Now when task 4 hits the barrier (at |) and wakes the others up,
there are 4 tasks with prev_cpu=<big> and 0 tasks with
prev_cpu=<little>. want_affine therefore means that we'll only look
in CPUs 0 and 1 (sd_llc), so tasks will be unnecessarily coscheduled
on the bigs until the next load balance, something like this:
v CPU v ->time->
------------------------
0 (big) 11111 /333 31313\33333
------------------------
1 (big) 22222 /444|424\4444444
------------------------
2 (LITTLE) 333333/ \222222
------------------------
3 (LITTLE) 444444/ \1111
------------------------
^^^
underutilization
So, I'm trying to get want_affine = 0 for these tasks.
I don't _think_ any incarnation of the wakee_flips mechanism can help
us here because which task is waker and which tasks are wakees
generally changes with each iteration.
However pthread_barrier_wait (or more accurately FUTEX_WAKE) has the
nice property that we know exactly how many tasks are being woken, so
we can cheat.
It might be a disadvantage that we "widen" _every_ task that's woken in
an event, while select_idle_sibling would work fine for the first
sd_llc_size - 1 tasks.
IIUC, if wake_affine() behaves correctly this trick wouldn't be
necessary on SMP systems, so it might be best guarded by the presence
of SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY?
* * *
Final note..
In order to observe "perfect" behaviour for this use case, I also had
to disable the TTWU_QUEUE sched feature. Suppose during the wakeup
above we are working through the work queue and have placed tasks 3
and 2, and are about to place task 1:
v CPU v ->time->
--------------
0 (big) 11111 /333 3
--------------
1 (big) 22222 /444|4
--------------
2 (LITTLE) 333333/ 2
--------------
3 (LITTLE) 444444/ <- Task 1 should go here
--------------
If TTWU_QUEUE is enabled, we will not yet have enqueued task
2 (having instead sent a reschedule IPI) or attached its load to CPU
2. So we are likely to also place task 1 on cpu 2. Disabling
TTWU_QUEUE means that we enqueue task 2 before placing task 1,
solving this issue. TTWU_QUEUE is there to minimise rq lock
contention, and I guess that this contention is less of an issue on
big.LITTLE systems since they have relatively few CPUs, which
suggests the trade-off makes sense here.
