I have a RT task X at a high priority and cyclictest on each CPU with lower priority than X's. If X is active and each CPU wakes their own cylictest thread then it ends in a longer rto_push storm. A random CPU determines via balance_rt() that the CPU on which X is running needs to push tasks. X has the highest priority, cyclictest is next in line so there is nothing that can be done since the task with the higher priority is not touched. tell_cpu_to_push() increments rto_loop_next and schedules rto_push_irq_work_func() on X's CPU. The other CPUs also increment the loop counter and do the same. Once rto_push_irq_work_func() is active it does nothing because it has _no_ pushable tasks on its runqueue. Then checks rto_next_cpu() and decides to queue irq_work on the local CPU because another CPU requested a push by incrementing the counter. I have traces where ~30 CPUs request this ~3 times each before it finally ends. This greatly increases X's runtime while X isn't making much progress. Teach rto_next_cpu() to only return CPUs which also have tasks on their runqueue which can be pushed away. This does not reduce the tell_cpu_to_push() invocations (rto_loop_next counter increments) but reduces the amount of issued rto_push_irq_work_func() if nothing can be done. As the result the overloaded CPU is blocked less often. There are still cases where the "same job" is repeated several times (for instance the current CPU needs to resched but didn't yet because the irq-work is repeated a few times and so the old task remains on the CPU) but the majority of request end in tell_cpu_to_push() before an IPI is issued.

How do I submit patches to Android Common Kernels
-
BEST: Make all of your changes to upstream Linux. If appropriate, backport to the stable releases. These patches will be merged automatically in the corresponding common kernels. If the patch is already in upstream Linux, post a backport of the patch that conforms to the patch requirements below.
- Do not send patches upstream that contain only symbol exports. To be considered for upstream Linux,
additions of
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL()
require an in-tree modular driver that uses the symbol -- so include the new driver or changes to an existing driver in the same patchset as the export. - When sending patches upstream, the commit message must contain a clear case for why the patch is needed and beneficial to the community. Enabling out-of-tree drivers or functionality is not not a persuasive case.
- Do not send patches upstream that contain only symbol exports. To be considered for upstream Linux,
additions of
-
LESS GOOD: Develop your patches out-of-tree (from an upstream Linux point-of-view). Unless these are fixing an Android-specific bug, these are very unlikely to be accepted unless they have been coordinated with kernel-team@android.com. If you want to proceed, post a patch that conforms to the patch requirements below.
Common Kernel patch requirements
- All patches must conform to the Linux kernel coding standards and pass
script/checkpatch.pl
- Patches shall not break gki_defconfig or allmodconfig builds for arm, arm64, x86, x86_64 architectures (see https://source.android.com/setup/build/building-kernels)
- If the patch is not merged from an upstream branch, the subject must be tagged with the type of patch:
UPSTREAM:
,BACKPORT:
,FROMGIT:
,FROMLIST:
, orANDROID:
. - All patches must have a
Change-Id:
tag (see https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/Documentation/user-changeid.html) - If an Android bug has been assigned, there must be a
Bug:
tag. - All patches must have a
Signed-off-by:
tag by the author and the submitter
Additional requirements are listed below based on patch type
Requirements for backports from mainline Linux: UPSTREAM:
, BACKPORT:
- If the patch is a cherry-pick from Linux mainline with no changes at all
- tag the patch subject with
UPSTREAM:
. - add upstream commit information with a

line - Example:
- if the upstream commit message is
- tag the patch subject with
important patch from upstream

- If the patch requires any changes from the upstream version, tag the patch with

instead ofUPSTREAM:
.- use the same tags as
