Schedutil updates for FAIR tasks are triggered implicitly each time a cfs_rq's utilization is updated via cfs_rq_util_change(), currently called by update_cfs_rq_load_avg(), when the utilization of a cfs_rq has changed, and {attach,detach}_entity_load_avg(). This design is based on the idea that "we should callback schedutil frequently enough" to properly update the CPU frequency at every utilization change. However, such an integration strategy has also some downsides: - schedutil updates are triggered by RQ's load updates, which makes sense in general but it does not allow to know exactly which other RQ related information have been updated. Recently, for example, we had issues due to schedutil dependencies on cfs_rq->h_nr_running and estimated utilization updates. - cfs_rq_util_change() is mainly a wrapper function for an already existing "public API", cpufreq_update_util(), which is required just to ensure we actually update schedutil only when we are updating a root cfs_rq. Thus, especially when task groups are in use, most of the calls to this wrapper function are not required. - the usage of a wrapper function is not completely consistent across fair.c, since we could still need additional explicit calls to cpufreq_update_util(). For example this already happens to report the IOWAIT boot flag in the wakeup path. - it makes it hard to integrate new features since it could require to change other function prototypes just to pass in an additional flag, as it happened for example in commit: commit ea14b57e8a18 ("sched/cpufreq: Provide migration hint") All the above considered, let's make schedutil updates more explicit in fair.c by removing the cfs_rq_util_change() wrapper function in favour of the existing cpufreq_update_util() public API. This can be done by calling cpufreq_update_util() explicitly in the few call sites where it really makes sense and when all the (potentially) required cfs_rq's information have been updated. This patch mainly removes code and adds explicit schedutil updates only when we: - {enqueue,dequeue}_task_fair() a task to/from the root cfs_rq - (un)throttle_cfs_rq() a set of tasks up to the root cfs_rq - task_tick_fair() to update the utilization of the root cfs_rq All the other code paths, currently _indirectly_ covered by a call to update_load_avg(), are still covered. Indeed, some paths already imply enqueue/dequeue calls: - switch_{to,from}_fair() - sched_move_task() while others are followed by enqueue/dequeue calls: - cpu_cgroup_fork() and post_init_entity_util_avg(): are used at wakeup_new_task() time and thus already followed by an enqueue_task_fair() - migrate_task_rq_fair(): updates the removed utilization but not the actual cfs_rq utilization, which is updated by a following sched event This new proposal allows also to better aggregate schedutil related flags, which are required only at enqueue_task_fair() time. IOWAIT and MIGRATION flags are now requested only when a task is actually visible at the root cfs_rq level.

However, this seems to make sense since the task will not be running anyway. --- kernel/sched/fair.c | 90 +++++++++++++++++++++++++---------------------------- 1 file changed, 43 insertions(+), 47 deletions(-)
