Subject[PATCH v4] sched: fix init NOHZ_IDLE flag
Date
On my smp platform which is made of 5 cores in 2 clusters, I have the
nr_busy_cpu field of sched_group_power struct that is not null when the
platform is fully idle. The root cause seems to be:
During the boot sequence, some CPUs reach the idle loop and set their
NOHZ_IDLE flag while waiting for others CPUs to boot. But the nr_busy_cpus
field is initialized later with the assumption that all CPUs are in the busy
state whereas some CPUs have already set their NOHZ_IDLE flag.
During the initialization of the sched_domain, we set the NOHZ_IDLE flag when
nr_busy_cpus is initialized to 0 in order to have a coherent configuration.
If a CPU enters idle and call set_cpu_sd_state_idle during the build of the
new sched_domain it will not corrupt the initial state
set_cpu_sd_state_busy is modified and clears the NOHZ_IDLE only if a non NULL
sched_domain is attached to the CPU (which is the case during the rebuild)

Change since V3;
- NOHZ flag is not cleared if a NULL domain is attached to the CPU
- Remove patch 2/2 which becomes useless with latest modifications

Change since V2:
- change the initialization to idle state instead of busy state so a CPU that
enters idle during the build of the sched_domain will not corrupt the
initialization state

Change since V1:
- remove the patch for SCHED softirq on an idle core use case as it was
a side effect of the other use cases.
