From 2d3d891d3344159d5b452a645e355bbe29591e8b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dario Faggioli Date: Thu, 7 Nov 2013 14:43:44 +0100 Subject: sched/deadline: Add SCHED_DEADLINE inheritance logic Some method to deal with rt-mutexes and make sched_dl interact with the current PI-coded is needed, raising all but trivial issues, that needs (according to us) to be solved with some restructuring of the pi-code (i.e., going toward a proxy execution-ish implementation). This is under development, in the meanwhile, as a temporary solution, what this commits does is: - ensure a pi-lock owner with waiters is never throttled down. Instead, when it runs out of runtime, it immediately gets replenished and it's deadline is postponed; - the scheduling parameters (relative deadline and default runtime) used for that replenishments --during the whole period it holds the pi-lock-- are the ones of the waiting task with earliest deadline. Acting this way, we provide some kind of boosting to the lock-owner, still by using the existing (actually, slightly modified by the previous commit) pi-architecture. We would stress the fact that this is only a surely needed, all but clean solution to the problem. In the end it's only a way to re-start discussion within the community. So, as always, comments, ideas, rants, etc.. are welcome! :-) Signed-off-by: Dario Faggioli Signed-off-by: Juri Lelli [ Added !RT_MUTEXES build fix. ] Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1383831828-15501-11-git-send-email-juri.lelli@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar --- include/linux/sched/rt.h | 5 +++++ 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+) (limited to 'include/linux/sched') diff --git a/include/linux/sched/rt.h b/include/linux/sched/rt.h index 440434df3627..34e4ebea8fce 100644 --- a/include/linux/sched/rt.h +++ b/include/linux/sched/rt.h @@ -35,6 +35,7 @@ static inline int rt_task(struct task_struct *p) #ifdef CONFIG_RT_MUTEXES extern int rt_mutex_getprio(struct task_struct *p); extern void rt_mutex_setprio(struct task_struct *p, int prio); +extern struct task_struct *rt_mutex_get_top_task(struct task_struct *task); extern void rt_mutex_adjust_pi(struct task_struct *p); static inline bool tsk_is_pi_blocked(struct task_struct *tsk) { @@ -45,6 +46,10 @@ static inline int rt_mutex_getprio(struct task_struct *p) { return p->normal_prio; } +static inline struct task_struct *rt_mutex_get_top_task(struct task_struct *task) +{ + return NULL; +} # define rt_mutex_adjust_pi(p) do { } while (0) static inline bool tsk_is_pi_blocked(struct task_struct *tsk) { -- cgit v1.2.3
