From 6dc1a672ab15604947361dcd02e459effa09bad5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rik van Riel Date: Mon, 23 Jun 2014 11:46:14 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] sched/numa: Use effective_load() to balance NUMA loads When CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED is enabled, the load that a task places on a CPU is determined by the group the task is in. The active groups on the source and destination CPU can be different, resulting in a different load contribution by the same task at its source and at its destination. As a result, the load needs to be calculated separately for each CPU, instead of estimated once with task_h_load(). Getting this calculation right allows some workloads to converge, where previously the last thread could get stuck on another node, without being able to migrate to its final destination.
