sched/nohz: Fix affine unpinned timers mess
The following commit: 9642d18e ("nohz: Affine unpinned timers to housekeepers")' intended to affine unpinned timers to housekeepers: unpinned timers(full dynaticks, idle) => nearest busy housekeepers(otherwise, fallback to any housekeepers) unpinned timers(full dynaticks, busy) => nearest busy housekeepers(otherwise, fallback to any housekeepers) unpinned timers(houserkeepers, idle) => nearest busy housekeepers(otherwise, fallback to itself) However, the !idle_cpu(i) && is_housekeeping_cpu(cpu) check modified the intention to: unpinned timers(full dynaticks, idle) => any housekeepers(no mattter cpu topology) unpinned timers(full dynaticks, busy) => any housekeepers(no mattter cpu topology) unpinned timers(housekeepers, idle) => any busy cpus(otherwise, fallback to any housekeepers) This patch fixes it by checking if there are busy housekeepers nearby, otherwise falls to any housekeepers/itself. After the patch: unpinned timers(full dynaticks, idle) => nearest busy housekeepers(otherwise, fallback to any housekeepers) unpinned timers(full dynaticks, busy) => nearest busy housekeepers(otherwise, fallback to any housekeepers) unpinned timers(housekeepers, idle) => nearest busy housekeepers(otherwise, fallback to itself) Signed-off-by: Wanpeng Li <wanpeng.li@hotmail.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> [ Fixed the changelog. ] Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Fixes: 'commit 9642d18e ("nohz: Affine unpinned timers to housekeepers")' Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1462344334-8303-1-git-send-email-wanpeng.li@hotmail.comSigned-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
