[PATCH 0/6 v3] sched/mm: LRU drain flush on nohz_full
Posted by Frederic Weisbecker 10 months ago
Hi,

When LRUs are pending, the drain can be triggered remotely, whether the
remote CPU is running in userspace in nohz_full mode or not. This kind
of noise is expected to be caused by preparatory work before a task
runs isolated in userspace. This patchset is a proposal to flush that
before the task starts its critical work in userspace.

Changes since v2:

* Add tags (thanks everyone)
* Assume TASK_WORK_DEQUEUED is set before calling task_work_add() (Oleg)
* Return -EINVAL if queued from kthread instead of silently ignoring.
* Queue from a more appropriate place (folio_batch_add()) (Michal)
* Refactor changelog on last patch (Michal)

Frederic Weisbecker (6):
      task_work: Provide means to check if a work is queued
      sched/fair: Use task_work_queued() on numa_work
      sched: Use task_work_queued() on cid_work
      tick/nohz: Move nohz_full related fields out of hot task struct's places
      sched/isolation: Introduce isolated task work
      mm: Drain LRUs upon resume to userspace on nohz_full CPUs
