From 967fc04671feea4dbf780c9e55a0bc8fcf68a14e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gregory Haskins Date: Mon, 29 Dec 2008 09:39:52 -0500 Subject: sched: add sched_class->needs_post_schedule() member We currently run class->post_schedule() outside of the rq->lock, which means that we need to test for the need to post_schedule outside of the lock to avoid a forced reacquistion. This is currently not a problem as we only look at rq->rt.overloaded. However, we want to enhance this going forward to look at more state to reduce the need to post_schedule to a bare minimum set. Therefore, we introduce a new member-func called needs_post_schedule() which tests for the post_schedule condtion without actually performing the work. Therefore it is safe to call this function before the rq->lock is released, because we are guaranteed not to drop the lock at an intermediate point (such as what post_schedule() may do). We will use this later in the series [ rostedt: removed paranoid BUG_ON ] Signed-off-by: Gregory Haskins --- kernel/sched_rt.c | 24 ++++++++++++++---------- 1 file changed, 14 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) (limited to 'kernel/sched_rt.c') diff --git a/kernel/sched_rt.c b/kernel/sched_rt.c index 8d33843cb2c4..b0b6ea4ed674 100644 --- a/kernel/sched_rt.c +++ b/kernel/sched_rt.c @@ -1290,20 +1290,23 @@ static void pre_schedule_rt(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *prev) pull_rt_task(rq); } +/* + * assumes rq->lock is held + */ +static int needs_post_schedule_rt(struct rq *rq) +{ + return rq->rt.overloaded ? 1 : 0; +} + static void post_schedule_rt(struct rq *rq) { /* - * If we have more than one rt_task queued, then - * see if we can push the other rt_tasks off to other CPUS. - * Note we may release the rq lock, and since - * the lock was owned by prev, we need to release it - * first via finish_lock_switch and then reaquire it here. + * This is only called if needs_post_schedule_rt() indicates that + * we need to push tasks away */ - if (unlikely(rq->rt.overloaded)) { - spin_lock_irq(&rq->lock); - push_rt_tasks(rq); - spin_unlock_irq(&rq->lock); - } + spin_lock_irq(&rq->lock); + push_rt_tasks(rq); + spin_unlock_irq(&rq->lock); } /* @@ -1557,6 +1560,7 @@ static const struct sched_class rt_sched_class = { .rq_online = rq_online_rt, .rq_offline = rq_offline_rt, .pre_schedule = pre_schedule_rt, + .needs_post_schedule = needs_post_schedule_rt, .post_schedule = post_schedule_rt, .task_wake_up = task_wake_up_rt, .switched_from = switched_from_rt, -- cgit v1.2.3
