[Devel] [RFC][PATCH 4/6] Fix (bad?) interactions between SCHED_RT and SCHED_NORMAL tasks

Srivatsa Vaddagiri vatsa at linux.vnet.ibm.com
Mon Jun 11 08:55:04 PDT 2007


Currently nr_running and raw_weighted_load fields in runqueue affect
some CFS calculations (like distribute_fair_add, enqueue_sleeper etc).

These fields however are shared between tasks of all classes, which can
potentialy affect those calculations for SCHED_NORMAL tasks. However I
do not know of any bad behaviour caused by not splitting these fields (like
this patch does).

This split is neverthless needed for subsequent patches.
