With a lot of small task, the softirq sched is nearly never called when no_hz is enable. Te load_balance is mainly called with the newly_idle mode which doesn't update the cpu_power. Add a next_update field which ensure a maximum update period when there is short activity Signed-off-by: Vincent Guittot <vincent.guittot@linaro.org> --- include/linux/sched.h | 1 + kernel/sched_fair.c | 24 ++++++++++++++++-------- 2 files changed, 17 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-)
