[RFC PATCH 10/10] sched: Include blocked load in weighted_cpuload

From: Morten Rasmussen
Date: Tue Dec 02 2014 - 09:09:27 EST


Adds blocked_load_avg to weighted_cpuload() to take recently runnable
tasks into account in load-balancing decisions. This changes the nature
of weighted_cpuload() as it may >0 while there are currently no runnable
tasks on the cpu rq. Hence care must be taken in the load-balance code
to use cfs_rq->runnable_load_avg or nr_running when current rq status is
needed.

This patch is highly experimental and will probably have require
additional updates of the users of weighted_cpuload().
