This causes unnecessary wake-ups and hence wastes energy. Make these conditions depend on !energy_aware() for now until the energy-aware nohz story gets sorted out. cc: Ingo Molnar cc: Peter Zijlstra Signed-off-by: Morten Rasmussen --- kernel/sched/fair.c | 5 +++-- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/kernel/sched/fair.c b/kernel/sched/fair.c index 8efeb1d..e6d32e6 100644 --- a/kernel/sched/fair.c +++ b/kernel/sched/fair.c @@ -8382,12 +8382,13 @@ static inline bool nohz_kick_needed(struct rq *rq) if (time_before(now, nohz.next_balance)) return false; - if (rq->nr_running >= 2) + if (rq->nr_running >= 2 && + (!energy_aware() || cpu_overutilized(cpu))) return true; rcu_read_lock(); sd = rcu_dereference(per_cpu(sd_busy, cpu)); - if (sd) { + if (sd && !energy_aware()) { sgc = sd->groups->sgc; nr_busy = atomic_read(&sgc->nr_busy_cpus);
