When offlining and onlining CPUs the overall reported idle and iowait times as reported by /proc/stat jump backward and forward: cpu 132 0 176 225249 47 6 6 21 0 0 cpu0 80 0 115 112575 33 3 4 18 0 0 cpu1 52 0 60 112673 13 3 1 2 0 0 cpu 133 0 177 226681 47 6 6 21 0 0 cpu0 80 0 116 113387 33 3 4 18 0 0 cpu 133 0 178 114431 33 6 6 21 0 0 <---- jump backward cpu0 80 0 116 114247 33 3 4 18 0 0 cpu1 52 0 61 183 0 3 1 2 0 0 <---- idle + iowait start with 0 cpu 133 0 178 228956 47 6 6 21 0 0 <---- jump forward cpu0 81 0 117 114929 33 3 4 18 0 0 Reason for this is that get_idle_time() in fs/proc/stat.c has different sources for both values depending on if a CPU is online or offline: - if a CPU is online the values may be taken from its per cpu tick_cpu_sched structure - if a CPU is offline the values are taken from its per cpu cpustat structure The problem is that the per cpu tick_cpu_sched structure is set to zero on CPU offline. See tick_cancel_sched_timer() in kernel/time/tick-sched.c. Therefore when a CPU is brought offline and online afterwards both its idle and iowait sleeptime will be zero, causing a jump backward in total system idle and iowait sleeptime. In a similar way if a CPU is then brought offline again the total idle and iowait sleeptimes will jump forward. It looks like this behavior was introduced with commit |
