Because of bucketization, different task-specific clamp values are tracked in the same bucket. For example, with 20% bucket size and assuming to have: Task1: util_min=25% Task2: util_min=35% both tasks will be refcounted in the [20..39]% bucket and always boosted only up to 20% thus implementing a simple floor aggregation normally used in histograms. In systems with only few and well-defined clamp values, it would be useful to track the exact clamp value required by a task whenever possible. For example, if a system requires only 23% and 47% boost values then it's possible to track the exact boost required by each task using only 3 buckets of ~33% size each. Introduce a mechanism to max aggregate the requested clamp values of RUNNABLE tasks in the same bucket. Keep it simple by resetting the bucket value to its base value only when a bucket becomes inactive. Allow a limited and controlled overboosting margin for tasks recounted in the same bucket. In systems where the boost values are not known in advance, it is still possible to control the maximum acceptable overboosting margin by tuning the number of clamp groups. For example, 20 groups ensure a 5% maximum overboost. Remove the rq bucket initialization code since a correct bucket value is now computed when a task is refcounted into a CPU's rq.
