From 3a69989d43689a40f3af7cad04c5aa840f3d2530 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Venkatesh Pallipadi Date: Thu, 10 Feb 2011 10:23:27 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] sched: Do not account irq time to current task Commit: 305e6835e05513406fa12820e40e4a8ecb63743c upstream Scheduler accounts both softirq and interrupt processing times to the currently running task. This means, if the interrupt processing was for some other task in the system, then the current task ends up being penalized as it gets shorter runtime than otherwise. Change sched task accounting to acoount only actual task time from currently running task. Now update_curr(), modifies the delta_exec to depend on rq->clock_task. Note that this change only handles CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING case. We can extend this to CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING with minimal effort. But, thats for later. This change will impact scheduling behavior in interrupt heavy conditions. Tested on a 4-way system with eth0 handled by CPU 2 and a network heavy task (nc) running on CPU 3 (and no RSS/RFS). With that I have CPU 2 spending 75%+ of its time in irq processing. CPU 3 spending around 35% time running nc task. Now, if I run another CPU intensive task on CPU 2, without this change /proc//schedstat shows 100% of time accounted to this task. With this change, it rightly shows less than 25% accounted to this task as remaining time is actually spent on irq processing.
