2007-11-09sched: reintroduce SMP tunings againIngo Molnar
Yanmin Zhang reported an aim7 regression and bisected it down to: | commit 38ad464d410dadceda1563f36bdb0be7fe4c8938 | Author: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> | Date: Mon Oct 15 17:00:02 2007 +0200 | | sched: uniform tunings | | use the same defaults on both UP and SMP. fix this by reintroducing similar SMP tunings again. This resolves the regression. (also update the comments to match the ilog2(nr_cpus) tuning effect) Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2007-11-09sched: reintroduce the sched_min_granularity tunablePeter Zijlstra
we lost the sched_min_granularity tunable to a clever optimization that uses the sched_latency/min_granularity ratio - but the ratio is quite unintuitive to users and can also crash the kernel if the ratio is set to 0. So reintroduce the min_granularity tunable, while keeping the ratio maintained internally. no functionality changed.

2007-11-09sched: fix vslicePeter Zijlstra

2007-10-24sched: isolate SMP balancing code a bit morePeter Williams
At the moment, a lot of load balancing code that is irrelevant to non SMP systems gets included during non SMP builds. This patch addresses this issue and reduces the binary size on non SMP systems: text data bss dec hex filename 10983 28 1192 12203 2fab sched.o.before 10739 28 1192 11959 2eb7 sched.o.after Signed-off-by: Peter Williams <pwil3058@bigpond.net.au> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2007-10-24sched: reduce balance-tasks overheadPeter Williams
At the moment, balance_tasks() provides low level functionality for both move_tasks() and move_one_task() (indirectly) via the load_balance() function (in the sched_class interface) which also provides dual functionality. This dual functionality complicates the interfaces and internal mechanisms and makes the run time overhead of operations that are called with two run queue locks held. This patch addresses this issue and reduces the overhead of these operations. Signed-off-by: Peter Williams <pwil3058@bigpond.net.au> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2007-10-17sched: fix new task startup crashSrivatsa Vaddagiri
Child task may be added on a different cpu that the one on which parent is running. In which case, task_new_fair() should check whether the new born task's parent entity should be added as well on the cfs_rq. Patch below fixes the problem in task_new_fair. This could fix the put_prev_task_fair() crashes reported.

Prevent wakeup over-scheduling. Once a task has been preempted by a task of the same or lower priority, it becomes ineligible for repeated preemption by same until it has been ticked, or slept. Instead, the task is marked for preemption at the next tick. Tasks of higher priority still preempt immediately.

2007-10-15sched: fix __pick_next_entity()Dmitry Adamushko
The thing is that __pick_next_entity() must never be called when first_fair(cfs_rq) == NULL. It wouldn't be a problem, should 'run_node' be the very first field of 'struct sched_entity' (and it's the second). The 'nr_running != 0' check is _not_ enough, due to the fact that 'current' is not within the tree. Generic paths are ok (e.g. schedule() as put_prev_task() is called previously)... I'm more worried about e.g. migration_call() -> CPU_DEAD_FROZEN -> migrate_dead_tasks()... if 'current' == rq->idle, no problems.. if it's one of the SCHED_NORMAL tasks (or imagine, some other use-cases in the future -- i.e. we should not make outer world dependent on internal details of sched_fair class) -- it may be "Houston, we've got a problem" case. it's +16 bytes to the ".text". Another variant is to make 'run_node' the first data member of 'struct sched_entity' but an additional check (se ! = NULL) is still needed in pick_next_entity().

2007-10-15sched: group scheduler, fix latencySrivatsa Vaddagiri
There is a possibility that because of task of a group moving from one cpu to another, it may gain more cpu time that desired. See http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=119073197730334 for details. This is an attempt to fix that problem. Basically it simulates dequeue of higher level entities as if they are going to sleep. Similarly it simulate wakeup of higher level entities as if they are waking up from sleep.
