sched: let +nice tasks have smaller impact
Michel Dänzr has bisected an interactivity problem with plus-reniced tasks back to this commit: 810e95ccd58d91369191aa4ecc9e6d4a10d8d0c8 is first bad commit commit 810e95ccd58d91369191aa4ecc9e6d4a10d8d0c8 Author: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Date: Mon Oct 15 17:00:14 2007 +0200 sched: another wakeup_granularity fix unit mis-match: wakeup_gran was used against a vruntime fix this by assymetrically scaling the vtime of positive reniced tasks.
