However, while developing psi monitoring, Suren noticed that the aggregation clock currently won't stay shut off for good. DebugGing this revealed a flaw in the idle design: an aggregation run will see no task activity and decide to go to sleep; shortly thereafter, the kworker thread that executed the aggregation will go idle and cause a scheduling change, during which the psi callback will kick the !pending worker again. This will ping-pong forever, and is equivalent to having no shut-off logic at all (but with more code!) Fix this by exempting aggregation workers from psi's clock waking logic when the state change is them going to sleep. To do this, tag workers with the last work function they executed, and if in psi we see a worker going to sleep after aggregating psi data, we will not reschedule the aggregation work item. What if the worker is also executing other items before or after? Any psi state times that were incurred by work items preceding the aggregation work will have been collected from the per-cpu buckets during the aggregation itself. If there are work items following the aggregation work, the worker's last_func tag will be overwritten and the aggregator will be kept alive to process this genuine new activity. If the aggregation work is the last thing the worker does, and we decide to go idle, the brief period of non-idle time incurred between the aggregation run and the kworker's dequeue will be stranded in the per-cpu buckets until the clock is woken by later activity. But that should not be a problem. The buckets can hold 4s worth of time, and future activity will wake the clock with a 2s delay, giving us 2s worth of data we can leave behind when disabling aggregation. If it takes a worker more than two seconds to go idle after it finishes its last work item, we likely have bigger problems in the system, and won't notice one sample that was averaged with a bogus per-CPU weight.
