sched/fair: Tune down misfit NOHZ kicks
In this commit:
3b1baa6496e6 ("sched/fair: Add 'group_misfit_task' load-balance type")
we set rq->misfit_task_load whenever the current running task has a
utilization greater than 80% of rq->cpu_capacity. A non-zero value in
this field enables misfit load balancing.
However, if the task being looked at is already running on a CPU of
highest capacity, there's nothing more we can do for it. We can
currently spot this in update_sd_pick_busiest(), which prevents us
from selecting a sched_group of group_type == group_misfit_task as the
busiest group, but we don't do any of that in nohz_balancer_kick().
This means that we could repeatedly kick NOHZ CPUs when there's no
improvements in terms of load balance to be done.
Introduce a check_misfit_status() helper that returns true iff there
is a CPU in the system that could give more CPU capacity to a rq's
misfit task - IOW, there exists a CPU of higher capacity_orig or the
rq's CPU is severely pressured by rt/IRQ.
