SubjectRe: [PATCH] sched/rt: Fix rq's cpupri leak while enqueue/dequeue child RT entities
Date
Ping!

27.11.2013, 19:59, "Kirill Tkhai" <tkhai@yandex.ru>:
> This patch touches RT group scheduling case.
>
> Functions inc_rt_prio_smp() and dec_rt_prio_smp() change (global) rq's priority,
> while rt_rq passed to them may be not the top-level rt_rq. This is wrong, because
> changing of priority on a child level does not guarantee that the priority is
> the highest all over the rq. So, this leak makes RT balancing unusable.
>
> The short example: the task having the highest priority among all rq's RT tasks
> (no one other task has the same priority) are waking on a throttle rt_rq.
> The rq's cpupri is set to the task's priority equivalent, but real
> rq->rt.highest_prio.curr is less.
>
> The patch below fixes the problem.
>
> It looks like all version have this bug, so I CC'ed stable mailing list.
