[PATCH v8 -tip 10/26] sched: migration changes for core scheduling

From: Joel Fernandes (Google)
Date: Mon Oct 19 2020 - 21:44:25 EST


From: Aubrey Li <aubrey.li@xxxxxxxxx>

- Don't migrate if there is a cookie mismatch
Load balance tries to move task from busiest CPU to the
destination CPU. When core scheduling is enabled, if the
task's cookie does not match with the destination CPU's
core cookie, this task will be skipped by this CPU. This
mitigates the forced idle time on the destination CPU.

- Select cookie matched idle CPU
In the fast path of task wakeup, select the first cookie matched
idle CPU instead of the first idle CPU.

- Find cookie matched idlest CPU
In the slow path of task wakeup, find the idlest CPU whose core
cookie matches with task's cookie

- Don't migrate task if cookie not match
For the NUMA load balance, don't migrate task to the CPU whose
core cookie does not match with task's cookie
