That 149 is surprising.
sd->cache_nice_tries is \in {1, 2}, and sd->nr_balanced_failed should be in the same ballpark.
A successful load_balance() resets it to 0; a failed one increments it. Once it gets to sd->cache_nice_tries + 3, this should trigger an active balance, which will either set it to sd->cache_nice_tries+1 or reset it to 0. There is this one condition that could let it creep up uncontrollably:
/* * Don't kick the active_load_balance_cpu_stop, * if the curr task on busiest CPU can't be * moved to this_cpu: */ if (!cpumask_test_cpu(this_cpu, busiest->curr->cpus_ptr)) { raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore(&busiest->lock, flags); goto out_one_pinned; }
So despite the resulting sd->balance_interval increase, repeatedly hitting this might yield the above. Would we then want something like this?
