From 953bfcd10e6f3697233e8e5128c611d275da39c1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Turner Date: Thu, 21 Jul 2011 09:43:27 -0700 Subject: sched: Implement hierarchical task accounting for SCHED_OTHER Introduce hierarchical task accounting for the group scheduling case in CFS, as well as promoting the responsibility for maintaining rq->nr_running to the scheduling classes. The primary motivation for this is that with scheduling classes supporting bandwidth throttling it is possible for entities participating in throttled sub-trees to not have root visible changes in rq->nr_running across activate and de-activate operations. This in turn leads to incorrect idle and weight-per-task load balance decisions. This also allows us to make a small fixlet to the fastpath in pick_next_task() under group scheduling. Note: this issue also exists with the existing sched_rt throttling mechanism. This patch does not address that.
