From a5e7be3b28a235108c59561bea55eea1072b23b0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Juri Lelli Date: Fri, 19 Sep 2014 10:22:39 +0100 Subject: sched/deadline: Clear dl_entity params when setscheduling to different class When a task is using SCHED_DEADLINE and the user setschedules it to a different class its sched_dl_entity static parameters are not cleaned up. This causes a bug if the user sets it back to SCHED_DEADLINE with the same parameters again. The problem resides in the check we perform at the very beginning of dl_overflow(): if (new_bw == p->dl.dl_bw) return 0; This condition is met in the case depicted above, so the function returns and dl_b->total_bw is not updated (the p->dl.dl_bw is not added to it). After this, admission control is broken. This patch fixes the thing, properly clearing static parameters for a task that ceases to use SCHED_DEADLINE.
