| |
I decided to run my tests on linux-next, and my wakeup_rt tracer was broken. After running a bisect, I found that the problem commit was:
linux-next commit c365c292d059 "sched: Consider pi boosting in setscheduler()"
And the reason the wake_rt tracer test was failing, was because it had no RT task to trace. I first noticed this when running with sched_switch event and saw that my RT task still had normal SCHED_OTHER priority. Looking at the problem commit, I found:
- p->normal_prio = normal_prio(p); - p->prio = rt_mutex_getprio(p);
With no
+ p->normal_prio = normal_prio(p); + p->prio = rt_mutex_getprio(p);
Reading what the commit is suppose to do, I realize that the p->prio can't be set if the task is boosted with a higher prio, but the p->normal_prio still needs to be set regardless, otherwise, when the task is deboosted, it wont get the new priority.
The p->prio has to be set before "check_class_changed()" is called, otherwise the class wont be changed.
