sched/fair: Optimize update_blocked_averages()
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Removing a cfs_rq from rq->leaf_cfs_rq_list can break the parent/child
ordering of the list when it will be added back. In order to remove an
empty and fully decayed cfs_rq, we must remove its children too, so they
will be added back in the right order next time.

With a normal decay of PELT, a parent will be empty and fully decayed
if all children are empty and fully decayed too. In such a case, we just
have to ensure that the whole branch will be added when a new task is
enqueued. This is default behavior since :

  commit f678331 ("sched/fair: Fix insertion in rq->leaf_cfs_rq_list")

In case of throttling, the PELT of throttled cfs_rq will not be updated
whereas the parent will. This breaks the assumption made above unless we
remove the children of a cfs_rq that is throttled. Then, they will be
added back when unthrottled and a sched_entity will be enqueued.

As throttled cfs_rq are now removed from the list, we can remove the
associated test in update_blocked_averages().
