Subject: [RFC] sched/dl: Fix preemption checks
Date: Tue, 21 Oct 2014 20:35:56 +0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1413909356.19914.128.camel@tkhai> (raw)


1)switched_to_dl() check is wrong. We reschedule only
if rq->curr is deadline task, and we do not reschedule
if it's a lower priority task. But we must always
preempt a task of other classes.

2)dl_task_timer():
Policy does not change in case of priority inheritance.
rt_mutex_setprio() changes prio, while policy remains old.

So we lose some balancing logic in dl_task_timer() and
switched_to_dl() when we check policy instead of priority.
Boosted task may be rq->curr.

(I didn't change switched_from_dl() because no check is
necessary there at all).

I've looked at this place(switched_to_dl) several times
and even fixed this function, but found just now...
I suppose some performance tests may work better after this.

Completely untested, just RFC.

Juri how about this?
