Subject: [patch] sched,rt: fix isolated CPUs leaving root_task_group indefinitely throttled
Date: Tue, 07 Aug 2012 10:02:38 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1344326558.6968.25.camel@marge.simpson.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1344321010.6968.10.camel@marge.simpson.net>
Speaking of old "parches" lying about, the below fixes a real problem if
you're using either 'should die' isolcpus or 'should work' cpusets to
isolate cores.
sched,rt: fix isolated CPUs leaving root_task_group indefinitely throttled
Root task group bandwidth replenishment must service all CPUs, regardless of
where the timer was last started, and regardless of the isolation mechanism,
lest 'Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore"' become rt scheduling policy.
