Hi Leo,
Thanks for your feedback.
The devation you mentioned is a issue we can talk further.
Actually, my question is the "energy_diff re-factor" patch is not just re-factor, it also changed the calculation of group_idle_state().
Before the re-factor, when calculating the idle state of CPU level in single/multiple cluster case or idle state of CLUSTER level in multi-clusters case for previous sched group, it will not "goto end" due to src_in_grp != dst_in_grp. After the re-factor, for above mentioned idle state calculation for previous sched group(cpu_idx = EAS_CPU_PRV), it will always "goto end" due to src_in_grp == dst_in_grp.
For example(4 LITTLE+4big, single cluster case), Index | src_cpu | next_cpu ------+------------------+-----------------+------------------ CPU # | CPU_0 (LITTLE) | CPU_1 (LITTLE)
Before re-factor:
The calculation of idle index if put task on previous cpu: cpu0: idle_get_state_idx + idle estimate (src_in_grp != dst_in_grp) cpu1: idle_get_state_idx + idle estimate (src_in_grp != dst_in_grp) cpu2: idle_get_state_idx + idle estimate (src_in_grp != dst_in_grp) cpu3: idle_get_state_idx + idle estimate (src_in_grp != dst_in_grp) cluster0: idle_get_state_idx (src_in_grp == dst_in_grp)
After re-factor:
The calculation of idle index if put task on previous cpu: cpu0: idle_get_state_idx (src_in_grp == dst_in_grp) cpu1: idle_get_state_idx (src_in_grp == dst_in_grp) cpu2: idle_get_state_idx (src_in_grp == dst_in_grp) cpu3: idle_get_state_idx (src_in_grp == dst_in_grp) cluster0: idle_state_idx (src_in_grp == dst_in_grp)
Thanks

hi Chris, Patrick, Quentin,
On android-4.9-eas-dev branch, after the commit of energy_diff re-factor("sched/fair: re-factor energy_diff to use a single (extensible) energy_env"), the calculation of group_idle_state for previous cpu had changed.
Before the re-factor, for eenv_before, there is chance to continue doing group_idle_state estimation(not "0goto end" directly); After the re-factor, for cpu_idx=EAS_CPU_PRV, there is no chance to do estimation("goto end" directly);
Is it deliberate for this change? If yes, do you have any test result for this?

Are you asking question for single cluster case? If we consider multiple clusters case, here might introduce mess, please see below combination:
eenv->sg is for big cluster scheduling group:
Index | EAS_CPU_PRV | EAS_CPU_NTX | EAS_CPU_BKP ------+------------------+-----------------+------------------ CPU # | CPU_0 (LITTLE) | CPU_4 (big) | CPU_5 (big) ------+------------------+-----------------+------------------ Flow | goto end | not goto end | not goto end
For upper case, the big cluster energy calculation uses different idle state estimation for CPU_0/CPU_4/CPU_5. This might introduce big devation for final result, thoughts?
Just reminding, 'eenv->sg' is not only for cluster level scheduling group, it also can be for CPU level. There have more cases for consideration.
