sched/deadline: Unify dl_time_before() usage

2015-09-23T07:51:25Z

Move dl_time_before() static definition in include/linux/sched/deadline.h so that it can be used by different parties without being re-defined.

timer: Reduce timer migration overhead if disabled

2015-06-19T13:18:28Z

Eric reported that the timer_migration sysctl is not really nice performance wise as it needs to check at every timer insertion whether the feature is enabled or not. Further the check does not live in the timer code, so we have an extra function call which checks an extra cache line to figure out that it is disabled. We can do better and store that information in the per cpu (hr)timer bases. I pondered to use a static key, but that's a nightmare to update from the nohz code and the timer base cache line is hot anyway when we select a timer base. The old logic enabled the timer migration unconditionally if CONFIG_NO_HZ was set even if nohz was disabled on the kernel command line. With this modification, we start off with migration disabled. The user visible sysctl is still set to enabled. If the kernel switches to NOHZ migration is enabled, if the user did not disable it via the sysctl prior to the switch. If nohz=off is on the kernel command line, migration stays disabled no matter what.

sched: Handle priority boosted tasks proper in setscheduler()

2015-05-08T09:53:55Z

Ronny reported that the following scenario is not handled correctly: T1 (prio = 10) lock(rtmutex); T2 (prio = 20) lock(rtmutex) boost T1 T1 (prio = 20) sys_set_scheduler(prio = 30) T1 prio = 30 .... sys_set_scheduler(prio = 10) T1 prio = 30 The last step is wrong as T1 should now be back at prio 20. Commit c365c292d059 ("sched: Consider pi boosting in setscheduler()") only handles the case where a boosted tasks tries to lower its priority. Fix it by taking the new effective priority into account for the decision whether a change of the priority is required.

sched/prio: Add 3 macros of MAX_NICE, MIN_NICE and NICE_WIDTH in prio.h

2014-02-22T17:14:13Z

Currently there is lots of hard coding to 19 and -20, to represent maximum and minimum of nice values. This patch add three macros in prio.h for maximum, minimum and width of nice value, and uses it to remove hardcoded values in prio.h.

There is already a macro named DEFAULT_PRIO in prio.h, we can use it to define NICE_TO_PRIO and PRIO_TO_NICE rather than use hard coding of (MAX_RT_PRIO + 20).

sched: Consider pi boosting in setscheduler()

2014-02-22T17:10:04Z

If a PI boosted task policy/priority is modified by a setscheduler() call we unconditionally dequeue and requeue the task if it is on the runqueue even if the new priority is lower than the current effective boosted priority. This can result in undesired reordering of the priority bucket list. If the new priority is less or equal than the current effective we just store the new parameters in the task struct and leave the scheduler class and the runqueue untouched. This is handled when the task deboosts itself. Only if the new priority is higher than the effective boosted priority we apply the change immediately.

sched: Implement task_nice() as static inline function

2014-02-09T14:28:23Z

As patch "sched: Move the priority specific bits into a new header file" exposes the priority related macros in linux/sched/prio.h, we don't have to implement task_nice() in kernel/sched/core.c any more. This patch implements it in linux/sched/sched.h as static inline function, saving the kernel stack and enhancing performance a bit.

sched: Expose some macros related to priority

2014-02-09T12:31:51Z

Some macros in kernel/sched/sched.h about priority are private to kernel/sched. But they are useful to other parts of the core kernel. This patch moves these macros from kernel/sched/sched.h to include/linux/sched/prio.h so that they are available to other subsystems.
