2007-10-15sched: domain sysctl fixes: do not crash on allocation failureMilton Miller
Now that we are calling this at runtime, a more relaxed error path is suggested. If an allocation fails, we just register the partial table, which will show empty directories. Signed-off-by: Milton Miller <miltonm@bga.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2007-10-15sched: domain sysctl fixes: unregister the sysctl table before domainsMilton Miller
Unregister and free the sysctl table before destroying domains, then rebuild and register after creating the new domains. This prevents the sysctl table from pointing to freed memory for root to write. Signed-off-by: Milton Miller <miltonm@bga.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2007-10-15sched: domain sysctl fixes: use for_each_online_cpu()Milton Miller
init_sched_domain_sysctl was walking cpus 0-n and referencing per_cpu variables. If the cpus_possible mask is not contigious this will result in a crash referencing unallocated data. If the online mask is not contigious then we would show offline cpus and miss online ones. Signed-off-by: Milton Miller <miltonm@bga.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2007-10-15Make scheduler debug file operations constArjan van de Ven
In general, struct file_operations are const in the kernel, to not have false cacheline sharing and to catch bugs at compiletime with accidental writes to them.

2007-10-15sched: cleanup: refactor common code of sleep_on / wait_for_completionAndi Kleen
Refactor common code of sleep_on / wait_for_completion These functions were largely cut'n'pasted. This moves the common code into single helpers instead. Advantage is about 1k less code on x86-64 and 91 lines of code removed. It adds one function call to the non timeout version of the functions; i don't expect this to be measurable.

2007-10-15sched: prevent wakeup over-schedulingMike Galbraith
Prevent wakeup over-scheduling. Once a task has been preempted by a task of the same or lower priority, it becomes ineligible for repeated preemption by same until it has been ticked, or slept. Instead, the task is marked for preemption at the next tick. Tasks of higher priority still preempt immediately.

2007-10-15sched: group scheduling, sysfs tunablesDhaval Giani
Add tunables in sysfs to modify a user's cpu share. A directory is created in sysfs for each new user in the system. /sys/kernel/uids/<uid>/cpu_share Reading this file returns the cpu shares granted for the user. Writing into this file modifies the cpu share for the user. Only an administrator is allowed to modify a user's cpu share.

2007-10-15sched: tidy up SCHED_RRDmitry Adamushko

[1] according to the following link, it's not compliant with SUSv3 (not sure though, what is the reference for us :-) http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/3/7/656 [2] the interval is dynamic and can be depicted as follows "should a task be one of the runnable tasks at this particular moment, it would expect to run for this interval of time before being re-scheduled by the scheduler tick". (i.e. it's more precise if a task is runnable at the moment) yeah, this seems to require task_rq_lock/unlock() but this is not a hot path. results: (SCHED_FIFO) dimm@earth:~/storage/prog$ sudo chrt -f 10 ./rr_interval time_slice: 0 : 0 (SCHED_RR) dimm@earth:~/storage/prog$ sudo chrt 10 ./rr_interval time_slice: 0 : 99984800 (SCHED_NORMAL) dimm@earth:~/storage/prog$ ./rr_interval time_slice: 0 : 19996960 (SCHED_NORMAL + a cpu_hog of similar 'weight' on the same CPU --- so should be a half of the previous result) dimm@earth:~/storage/prog$ taskset 1 ./rr_interval time_slice: 0 : 9998480 Signed-off-by: Dmitry Adamushko <dmitry.adamushko@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2007-10-15sched: fix __pick_next_entity()Dmitry Adamushko
The thing is that __pick_next_entity() must never be called when first_fair(cfs_rq) == NULL. It wouldn't be a problem, should 'run_node' be the very first field of 'struct sched_entity' (and it's the second). The 'nr_running != 0' check is _not_ enough, due to the fact that 'current' is not within the tree. Generic paths are ok (e.g. schedule() as put_prev_task() is called previously)... I'm more worried about e.g. migration_call() -> CPU_DEAD_FROZEN -> migrate_dead_tasks()... if 'current' == rq->idle, no problems.. if it's one of the SCHED_NORMAL tasks (or imagine, some other use-cases in the future -- i.e. we should not make outer world dependent on internal details of sched_fair class) -- it may be "Houston, we've got a problem" case. it's +16 bytes to the ".text". Another variant is to make 'run_node' the first data member of 'struct sched_entity' but an additional check (se ! = NULL) is still needed in pick_next_entity().
