[PATCH V3 1/2] sched/util_est: Simply the condition for util_est_dequeue/enqueue
From: Xuewen Yan
Date: Thu Apr 17 2025 - 00:35:57 EST
To prevent double enqueue/dequeue of the util-est for sched_delayed tasks,
commit 729288bc6856 ("kernel/sched: Fix util_est accounting for DELAY_DEQUEUE")
added the corresponding check. This check excludes double en/dequeue during
task migration and priority changes.
In fact, these conditions can be simplified.
For util_est_dequeue, we know that sched_delayed flag is set in dequeue_entity.
When the task is sleeping, we need to call util_est_dequeue to subtract
util-est from the cfs_rq. At this point, sched_delayed has not yet been set.
If we find that sched_delayed is already set, it indicates that this task
has already called dequeue_task_fair once. In this case, there is no need to
call util_est_dequeue again. Therefore, simply checking the sched_delayed flag
should be sufficient to prevent unnecessary util_est updates during the dequeue.
For util_est_enqueue, our goal is to add the util_est to the cfs_rq
when task enqueue. However, we don't want to add the util_est of a
sched_delayed task to the cfs_rq because the task is sleeping.
Therefore, we can exclude the util_est_enqueue for sched_delayed tasks
by checking the sched_delayed flag. However, when waking up a delayed task,
the sched_delayed flag is cleared after util_est_enqueue. As a result,
if we only check the sched_delayed flag, we would miss the util_est_enqueue.
Since waking up a sched_delayed task calls enqueue_task with the ENQUEUE_DELAYED flag,
we can determine whether to call util_est_enqueue by checking if the
enqueue_flag contains ENQUEUE_DELAYED.
