sched: rework of "prioritize non-migratable tasks over migratable ones"
regarding this commit: 45c01e824991b2dd0a332e19efc4901acb31209f
I think we can do it simpler. Please take a look at the patch below.
Instead of having 2 separate arrays (which is + ~800 bytes on x86_32 and
twice so on x86_64), let's add "exclusive" (the ones that are bound to
this CPU) tasks to the head of the queue and "shared" ones -- to the
end.
In case of a few newly woken up "exclusive" tasks, they are 'stacked'
(not queued as now), meaning that a task {i+1} is being placed in front
of the previously woken up task {i}. But I don't think that this
behavior may cause any realistic problems.
There are a couple of changes on top of this one.
(1) in check_preempt_curr_rt()
I don't think there is a need for the "pick_next_rt_entity(rq, &rq->rt)
!= &rq->curr->rt" check.
enqueue_task_rt(p) and check_preempt_curr_rt() are always called one
after another with rq->lock being held so the following check
"p->rt.nr_cpus_allowed == 1 && rq->curr->rt.nr_cpus_allowed != 1" should
be enough (well, just its left part) to guarantee that 'p' has been
queued in front of the 'curr'.
(2) in set_cpus_allowed_rt()
I don't thinks there is a need for requeue_task_rt() here.
Perhaps, the only case when 'requeue' (+ reschedule) might be useful is
as follows:
i) weight == 1 && cpu_isset(task_cpu(p), *new_mask)
i.e. a task is being bound to this CPU);
ii) 'p' != rq->curr
but here, 'p' has already been on this CPU for a while and was not
migrated. i.e. it's possible that 'rq->curr' would not have high chances
to be migrated right at this particular moment (although, has chance in
a bit longer term), should we allow it to be preempted.
Anyway, I think we should not perhaps make it more complex trying to
address some rare corner cases. For instance, that's why a single queue
approach would be preferable. Unless I'm missing something obvious, this
approach gives us similar functionality at lower cost.
Verified only compilation-wise.
