Hi Patrick,
At first glance, your proposal below makes to make sense.
However, I'm wondering if we cannot get it working using
rq->dl's provided information instead of flags?
Yes, we can use the value of rq->dl to check if there has been an increase of
the deadline utilization.
Even if schedutil might have been triggered by a different scheduling class,
the effect should be almost the same.
Below a potential patch. I've kept all frequency update decisions in a single
point (i.e. sugov_should_update_freq).
Not yet tested (waiting for further comments).
I have a todo list entry to backport/test Peter's series on Android...
will add this patch too. Thanks.
Please discard my latest patch, as the tests on Odroid have shown performance
regressions
(likely due to sugov_next_freq_shared being called more often)
Never mind. I have already tested another (even simpler) patch.
Sending soon as a new thread on LKML.
Many thanks and best regards,
Claudio
