2007-08-09sched: refine negative nice level granularityIngo Molnar
refine the granularity of negative nice level tasks: let them reschedule more often to offset the effect of them consuming their wait_runtime proportionately slower. (This makes nice-0 task scheduling smoother in the presence of negatively reniced tasks.) Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2007-08-09sched: fix update_stats_enqueue() reniced codepathIngo Molnar
the key has to be rescaled to /weight even if it has a positive value. (this change only affects the scheduling of reniced tasks) Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2007-08-09sched: round a bit betterIngo Molnar
round a tiny bit better in high-frequency rescheduling scenarios, by rounding around zero instead of rounding down. (this is pretty theoretical though) Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2007-08-09sched: make the multiplication table more accurateIngo Molnar
do small deltas in the weight and multiplication constant table so that the worst-case numeric error is better than 1:100000000. (8 digits) the current error table is: nice mult * inv_mult error ------------------------------------------ -20: 88761 * 48388 -0.0000000065 -19: 71755 * 59856 -0.0000000037 -18: 56483 * 76040 0.0000000056 -17: 46273 * 92818 0.0000000042 -16: 36291 * 118348 -0.0000000065 -15: 29154 * 147320 -0.0000000037 -14: 23254 * 184698 -0.0000000009 -13: 18705 * 229616 -0.0000000037 -12: 14949 * 287308 -0.0000000009 -11: 11916 * 360437 -0.0000000009 -10: 9548 * 449829 -0.0000000009 -9: 7620 * 563644 -0.0000000037 -8: 6100 * 704093 0.0000000009 -7: 4904 * 875809 0.0000000093 -6: 3906 * 1099582 -0.0000000009 -5: 3121 * 1376151 -0.0000000058 -4: 2501 * 1717300 0.0000000009 -3: 1991 * 2157191 -0.0000000035 -2: 1586 * 2708050 0.0000000009 -1: 1277 * 3363326 0.0000000014 0: 1024 * 4194304 0.0000000000 1: 820 * 5237765 0.0000000009 2: 655 * 6557202 0.0000000033 3: 526 * 8165337 -0.0000000079 4: 423 * 10153587 0.0000000012 5: 335 * 12820798 0.0000000079 6: 272 * 15790321 0.0000000037 7: 215 * 19976592 -0.0000000037 8: 172 * 24970740 -0.0000000037 9: 137 * 31350126 -0.0000000079 10: 110 * 39045157 -0.0000000061 11: 87 * 49367440 -0.0000000037 12: 70 * 61356676 0.0000000056 13: 56 * 76695844 -0.0000000075 14: 45 * 95443717 -0.0000000072 15: 36 * 119304647 -0.0000000009 16: 29 * 148102320 -0.0000000037 17: 23 * 186737708 -0.0000000028 18: 18 * 238609294 -0.0000000009 19: 15 * 286331153 -0.0000000002 Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2007-08-09sched: fix bug in balance_tasks()Peter Williams
There are two problems with balance_tasks() and how it used: 1. The variables best_prio and best_prio_seen (inherited from the old move_tasks()) were only required to handle problems caused by the active/expired arrays, the order in which they were processed and the possibility that the task with the highest priority could be on either. These issues are no longer present and the extra overhead associated with their use is unnecessary (and possibly wrong). 2. In the absence of CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED being set, the same this_best_prio variable needs to be used by all scheduling classes or there is a risk of moving too much load. E.g. if the highest priority task on this at the beginning is a fairly low priority task and the rt class migrates a task (during its turn) then that moved task becomes the new highest priority task on this_rq but when the sched_fair class initializes its copy of this_best_prio it will get the priority of the original highest priority task as, due to the run queue locks being held, the reschedule triggered by pull_task() will not have taken place. This could result in inappropriate overriding of skip_for_load and excessive load being moved. The attached patch addresses these problems by deleting all reference to best_prio and best_prio_seen and making this_best_prio a reference parameter to the various functions involved. load_balance_fair() has also been modified so that this_best_prio is only reset (in the loop) if CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED is set. This should preserve the effect of helping spread groups' higher priority tasks around the available CPUs while improving system performance when CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED isn't set.
