From 2f30db8df4076c54f92ac2ebe26734e27c164fd3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Brendan Jackman Date: Tue, 1 Aug 2017 15:48:37 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] UPSTREAM: sched/fair: Sync task util before slow-path wakeup We use task_util() in find_idlest_group() via capacity_spare_wake(). This task_util() updated in wake_cap(). However wake_cap() is not the only reason for ending up in find_idlest_group() - we could have been sent there by wake_wide(). So explicitly sync the task util with prev_cpu when we are about to head to find_idlest_group(). We could simply do this at the beginning of select_task_rq_fair() (i.e. irrespective of whether we're heading to select_idle_sibling() or find_idlest_group() & co), but I didn't want to slow down the select_idle_sibling() path more than necessary. Don't do this during fork balancing, we won't need the task_util and we'd just clobber the last_update_time, which is supposed to be 0.
