    Mike's change: 0a582440f "sched: fix sched_slice())" broke group
    scheduling by forgetting to reload cfs_rq on each loop.

    This patch fixes aim7 regression and specjbb2005 regression becomes
    less than 1.5% on 8-core stokley.

  • 88fc241f5   [IA64] dump stack on kernel unaligned warnings ... Browse Code »

    Often the cause of kernel unaligned access warnings is not
    obvious from just the ip displayed in the warning. This adds
    the option via proc to dump the stack in addition to the warning.
    The default is off (just display the 1 line warning). To enable
    the stack to be shown: echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/unaligned-dump-stack

    Impact: fix SCHED_IDLE latency problems

    OK, so we have 1 running task A (which is obviously curr and the tree is
    equally obviously empty).

    'A' nicely chugs along, doing its thing, carrying min_vruntime along as it
    goes.

    Then some whacko speed freak SCHED_IDLE task gets inserted due to SMP
    balancing, which is very likely far right, in that case

    update_curr
    update_min_vruntime
    cfs_rq->rb_leftmost := true (the crazy task sitting in a tree)
    vruntime = se->vruntime

    and voila, min_vruntime is waaay right of where it ought to be.

    OK, so why did I write it like that to begin with...

    Aah, yes.

    Say we've just dequeued current

    schedule
    deactivate_task(prev)
    dequeue_entity
    update_min_vruntime

    Then we'll set

    vruntime = cfs_rq->min_vruntime;

    we find !cfs_rq->curr, but do find someone in the tree. Then we _must_
    do vruntime = se->vruntime, because

    vruntime = min_vruntime(vruntime := cfs_rq->min_vruntime, se->vruntime)

    will not advance vruntime, and cause lags the other way around (which we
    fixed with that initial patch: 1af5f730fc1bf7c62ec9fb2d307206e18bf40a69
    (sched: more accurate min_vruntime accounting).

  • 6bc912b71   sched: SCHED_OTHER vs SCHED_IDLE isolation ... Browse Code »

    Stronger SCHED_IDLE isolation:

    - no SCHED_IDLE buddies
    - never let SCHED_IDLE preempt on wakeup
    - always preempt SCHED_IDLE on wakeup
    - limit SLEEPER fairness for SCHED_IDLE.

    Increase the SCHED_IDLE weight from 2 to 3, this gives much more stable
    vruntime numbers.

  • 98a4826b9   sched: fix bandwidth validation for UID grouping ... Browse Code »

    Impact: make rt-limit tunables work again

    Mark Glines reported:

    > I've got an issue on x86-64 where I can't configure the system to allow
    > RT tasks for a non-root user.
    >
    > In 2.6.26.5, I was able to do the following to set things up nicely:

    > Seems like every value I try to echo into the /sys files returns EINVAL.

    For UID grouping we initialize the root group with infinite bandwidth
    which by default is actually more than the global limit, therefore the
    bandwidth check always fails.

    Because the root group is a phantom group (for UID grouping) we cannot
    runtime adjust it, therefore we let it reflect the global bandwidth
    settings.

  • 01e3eb822   Revert "sched: improve preempt debugging" ... Browse Code »

    This reverts commit 7317d7b87edb41a9135e30be1ec3f7ef817c53dd.

    This has been reported (and bisected) by Alexey Zaytsev and
    Kamalesh Babulal to produce annoying warnings during bootup
    on both x86 and powerpc.

    kernel_locked() is not a valid test in IRQ context (we update the
    BKL's ->lock_depth and the preempt count separately and non-atomicalyy),
    so we cannot put it into the generic preempt debugging checks which
    can run in IRQ contexts too.
