From df1c99d416500da8d26a4d78777467c53ee7689e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mike Galbraith Date: Tue, 10 Mar 2009 19:08:11 +0100 Subject: sched: add avg_overlap decay Impact: more precise avg_overlap metric - better load-balancing avg_overlap is used to measure the runtime overlap of the waker and wakee. However, when a process changes behaviour, eg a pipe becomes un-congested and we don't need to go to sleep after a wakeup for a while, the avg_overlap value grows stale. When running we use the avg runtime between preemption as a measure for avg_overlap since the amount of runtime can be correlated to cache footprint. The longer we run, the less likely we'll be wanting to be migrated to another CPU.
